L ette r s It’s Not Money for Bulldozers Re: “More Money for Beaches and Wetlands,” News, June 16 Rep. Ted Lieu’s National Park Service study bill was meant to more strongly protect our natural resources and provide some funds for historical site designation and interpretation. Also to provide more public access to historic and natural areas in Marina del Rey, Venice, Baldwin Hills and Ballona Wetlands areas down to San Pedro. It was NOT meant to be used by Bay Foundation for any of their deceptive boondoggle projects that absolutely were NOT designed with nature in mind. Their plans involve heavy bulldozing, not TRUE gentle restoration. Please do NOT confuse the two. Linking Rep. Lieu’s National Park Service study bill to those efforts is not feasible, right, appropriate, or helpful to nature. Also, please note that the Ballona Wetlands Ecological reserve is 600 acres, not the 360 indicated in your article. A correction would be in order, in my opinion, as to create incorrect impressions and expectations in the minds

of your readers does a disservice to voters’ confidence in government as well as the field of journalism. Ann Doneen President, Malibu Democratic Club Editor’s Note: The stated total area of the Ballona Wetlands has been corrected in the online version of the story, and we did not intend to suggest how any federal funding would be allocated. Work with Nature for Recovery Re: “More Money for Beaches and Wetlands,” News, June 16 Congressman Ted Lieu’s brilliant plan to bring the Ballona Wetlands under the wing of National Park Service resources is not a recipe for funding industrial tactics to decimate these precious, hard-won 600 acres. A review of wetlands restoration shows that a slower process

based on working with nature is far more effective than fast, overwhelming mechanical “restoration.” A sustainable vision is one that is in concert with the evolving natural recovery now taking place every day at the life-filled Ballona Wetlands. Susan Suntree Santa Monica

FROM THE WEB Re: “Waterside Trader Joe’s Clears Another Hurdle,” News, June 16 Marina del Rey needs more high-end restaurants to compete with Venice and Santa Monica, and a Trader Joe’s for boaters and residents is a great idea. The existing structures and parking lot are hideous. I can’t wait for them to be put to good use! S.

Which of These Costly Homeseller Mistakes Will You Make When You Sell Your Westside Home?

Silicon Beach is Spreading Out Former Teledyne plant on Culver Boulevard may become tech-friendly creative office space Image courtesy of Continental Development Corporation

A rendering depicts one of three office buildings planned for the Alla Road Creative Campus By Gary Walker Playa Vista may be ground zero for Silicon Beach, but the Culver Boulevard corridor east of the 90 Freeway is about to enter the burgeoning local tech industry landscape. Where Teledyne Technologies once manufactured electro-mechanical sensors and transducers, a new creative office campus is planned. The Alla Road Creative Campus would raise a cluster of three contemporary two-story buildings on the six-acre footprint of the recently demolished Teledyne plant at Culver and Alla. In addition to 155,000 square feet of office space, plans for the campus include a one-acre outdoor courtyard and a parking garage for 600 vehicles. Two El Segundo-based developers, Continental Development Corporation and Mar Ventures Inc., recently purchased the site for an undisclosed sum. Both companies were involved in building the Plaza El Segundo shopping center and the Elevon retail and office complex at Campus El Segundo. Continental Development Corporation Director of Real Estate Bob Tarnofsky said the companies hope to attract lessees or buyers in the digital innovation sphere, such as game development, digital design and web content management companies.

“I believe that the project is designed to attract those kinds of users,” he said. As if taking a page out of the Playa Vista playbook, Tarnofsky envisions the expansive courtyard of the Alla Road Creative Campus as a space where creative industry employees can

The former Teledyne site is currently undergoing a remediation process and the development permit process is pending. Meanwhile, LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce President Christina Davis said there is an increasing demand for the kind of less-confining, lower-density

Where ‘Remodel’ Means ‘Rebuild’ Coastal Commission scolds City Hall for allowing the mansionization of Venice under the guise of renovation Photo by Michael Kraxenberger

By Gary Walker and Joe Piasecki Alma Collins paused in front of the house at 613 Santa Clara Ave., a place she had called home for 50 years. It wasn’t home anymore. She sold it in 2014 — not because she wanted to leave Oakwood, but because Venice’s historically African-American neighborhood left her. “I used to live with two [modest] single-family homes on each side of me. I came home from work one day and the homes were gone. In a day they were gone,” Collins said. What was quickly built in their place, she said, “took my air, took my sun, and that was the beginning of me deciding that I don’t want to live here anymore.” Collins said she never received any notice, official or otherwise, that her neighbors’ homes would be demolished to create what are mansions by comparison. It’s a frequent complaint among local affordable housing activists. Among the main catalysts of gentrification in Oakwood, they say, are “Venice Signoffs” — local slang for city development permits that effectively allow teardown and replacement of existing homes under the guise of remodels and additions. Recent decisions by the California Coastal Commission, a state agency empowered to approve or deny new construction in coastal areas, bolster that argument. Addressing a series of appeals filed by residents, commissioners ruled in April that city planners should not have allowed nine separate home remodeling projects in Venice to go forward because demolition for new construction would have been a more accurate description of the work. “Although the [coastal development] exemption determinations by the city described the development as remodeling

Alma Collins’ home of 50 years has been replaced with one four times as big and improvements to existing residential structures, the commission found that these projects clearly involved the substantial demolition and reconstruction of these residential structures,” reads

“I used to live with two [modest] singlefamily homes on each side of me. I came home from work one day and the homes were gone. In a day they were gone.” — Alma Collins, former Venice resident a letter from California Coastal Commission Chair Steve Kinsey to Los Angeles City Planning Director Vincent Bertoni. For example, the commission found that city officials exempted a home at 632 Brooks Ave. from demolition permit requirements by classifying the project as a first- and second-story addition, even though nothing of the original house

remained other than portions of its foundation and wooden frame. California Coastal Commissioner Greg Cox laid additional blame on city officials for failing to adopt local

development guidelines for development near the coast. “I’m really [angry] that we find ourselves in this situation because of a lack of effort by the city of Los Angeles to get a [Local Coastal Program] so that they could address these issues,” he said during the April meeting. New home construction disguised as

home remodeling is one reason a group of Venice is taking the city to court, alleging lax enforcement of zoning policy in violation of state and local laws. In a lawsuit filed Feb. 25 in Los Angeles Superior Court, the Venice Coalition to Preserve Our Unique Community Character seeks an injunction against so-called Venice Signoffs. “Defendants have issued and continue to issue [Venice signoffs] without providing surrounding property owners with notice of pending permit applications or the opportunity to challenge proposed developments. These projects include the demolition of existing structures, construction of new twoand three-story buildings and large, multiple-story additions,” the coalition’s complaint states. Such fast-tracked redevelopment allows city officials to skirt public scrutiny while they accelerate the loss of moderately priced housing, said Todd Darling, one of those who appealed a home demolition before the Coastal Commission. “They’ve used [Venice Signoffs] to get around affordable housing rules, and they have allowed tenants to be displaced,” Darling said. Back on Santa Clara Avenue, it isn’t just the homes of Collins’ neighbors that have disappeared. There is no longer any visible trace of the one-story, 1,177-square-foot home that Collins grew up in. In its place, a two-story, 3,444-squarefoot house with a bonus 539-squarefoot garage/studio is in the final stages of construction. Below a very large “for sale” sign, an 8.5”-by-11” city-issued construction notice is posted to a fence. The work description reads “twostory ground floor addition to singlefamily dwelling with roof access penthouse.”

Man Dives into Marina del Rey Harbor to Rescue Blind Dog

Dead Whale Washes Up on Dockweiler Beach The decomposing carcass of a 45-foot humpback whale was towed out to sea from Dockweiler Beach last Friday night, clearing the area for Fourth of July weekend crowds. Los Angeles County lifeguards discovered the dead whale, estimated to be between seven and 10 years old, after an initial report on Thursday night that a boat may have washed ashore, Lifeguard Capt. Kenichi Haskett said. Haskett referred to the whale as Wally, a name the humpback received after being tagged by biologists last year. The National Marine Fisheries Service, a division of

B r ief

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the nonprofit Marine Animal Rescue are working to determine why the whale died. A rare sight on local beaches, the whale carcass attracted crowds of onlookers throughout the day. “I love whales and I hate to see one dead like this. The big head, the big flippers — it’s a magnificent animal. I know they say it’s the cycle of life, but it’s still sad,” said Rancho Palos Verdes resident Corin Sutherland. — Gary Walker and Shanee Edwards

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Vandalism Linked to Bay Area Taggers Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigators believe a Bay Area tagging crew may have been responsible for the graffiti vandalism of Venice’s Vietnam POW/MIA mural just before Memorial Day weekend. Investigators identified four handles spray-painted on the wall — NONER, PHEB, SNAKE and LITER — and traced their histories through online videos, according to a department bulletin. No arrests have been made, and the

case is being treated as felony vandalism. The desecration of the memorial at Pacific Avenue and Sunset Court, painted 24 years ago by a homeless Vietnam veteran, provoked widespread community outrage. Community volunteers worked to clean the graffiti from the mural but may have also damaged original paint, complicating restoration efforts. — Joe Piasecki Photo by Robert Johnson / Magnus Studio

Cheryl Mollicone and Lulu are happily reunited The owner of a small dog that nearly drowned in Marina del Rey harbor is thankful for a dog-loving Good Samaritan who dove into the water to save it. Cheryl Mollicone was walking her dogs near the harbor gates behind the Lloyd Taber-Marina del Rey Library on June 24 when Lulu, a Chihuahua and Jack Russell terrier mix, slipped and fell into the water. “She always gravitates to a wall or fence when we’re walking because she’s blind. Something freaked her out and she began pulling out of her harness. The next thing I know she’s in the water,” said Mollicone, 67. Mollicone said she began “screaming her head off” because Lulu is afraid of the water. A group of people who were in the library parking lot came to see what happened but no one was willing to take any definitive action.

Then David Kim came riding by on his bicycle. “Just like that, he takes off his shirt and shoes and jumps into the water,” Mollicone said. Kim rescued Lulu and delivered the scared and wet dog to her owner at one of the docks near Admiralty Way, where Lulu appeared a little shaken up but otherwise healthy. Mollicone offered Kim a cash reward for his act of kindness, but Kim refused. “He said he understood because he is a dog owner,” she said. Still grateful, Mollicone has since lost contact with Kim due to a telephone malfunction, so she called The Argonaut to publicly thank him. “He’s going to have some great karma for the rest of his life,” she said. “My dog would not have survived if it weren’t for him. “

Flavio Bisciotti in his Woodlawn Avenue studio

Art Ashes from

the

The fire that destroyed Flavio Bisciotti’s home studio also planted the seeds of something new

By Christina Campodonico The charred remains of Flavio Bisciotti’s burned-out art studio give new meaning to the term “man cave.” A mural of a bearded man is crackled and black. Fire-singed sketches of female nudes are scattered on the floor. Shreds of burnt paintings hang from the walls. All are remnants from a freak fire that ripped through the Venice shack in the wee hours of Jan. 5, consuming 25 years of artworks, photographs, personal documents, records, letters, electronics, clothes and souvenirs collected or made by Bisciotti. “My studio was my man cave,” says Bisciotti, an artist, architect and gallery owner originally from Argentina. “It was a place that I spent time working, painting, relaxing, thinking.” PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT July 7, 2016

But this place’s purpose as a site of active creation has not been lost to its destruction. Over the past few months,

one in the studio in October and another at Bisciotti’s FAB Gallery in Santa Monica in January.

“Basically, the first two weeks [after the fire] I was kind of like shocked, you know. I just went in there and saw everything broken and burned and wet.” — Flavio Bisciotti

Bisciotti has invited his artist friends to take whatever they want from the incinerated studio — a burned door, scorched speakers, crisped up credit cards — and transform these items into art pieces that will be presented in two group shows,

He calls the project “Palimpsest,” which means “something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.” Though still a work in progress, it has already yielded some interesting results,

says co-curator Delia Cabral. “I have seen some wonderful photographs by artist Brian Murphy. … I have seen new paintings revealed from old remains by artist Gary Palmer. I cannot wait to see what other treasures will emerge from the ashes,” she says. When I visit what remains of Bisciotti’s studio behind his Venice bungalow, Murphy is tracing the outline of Bisciotti’s old tools onto some newspapers that he’s painted white. “Tools to fix things,” muses Murphy as he looks over his work for “Palimpsest.” Artist Tori White has joined him, sketching rings of dappled light falling from the trellis above onto the newsprint. “It’s a good ceremony to say goodbye, to start new,” she says of participating in the project.

Be The Beauty You Feel Inside! Debris from Bisciotti’s studio becomes raw material for creating new art For Bisciotti, turning his tragedy into an artistic endeavor for the Westside’s art community has been an opportunity to think positively and creatively about the fire’s impact on his life and work. “Basically, the first two weeks [after the fire] I was kind of like shocked, you know,” he says. “I just went in there and saw everything broken and burned and wet. If things were not burned they were broken.” Bisciotti says he lost everything, “but at the end nothing, because it’s all stuff.” Then he got an idea. “One day I was at the gym, running on the treadmill, and I thought, ‘What if I create

something with this?’” recounts Bisciotti. “That’s what was my first thought. And then because I know most of my friends are artists from here, from Venice, I start talking with different people and the whole reaction is very positive. Like, ‘Yeah, that’s a great idea.’” The project continues to evolve as Bisciotti keeps inviting artists over to make new artworks from his studio’s debris and updates the progress of “Palimpsest” on his Facebook page with photos and videos. Bisciotti, ever the architect, ultimately hopes to rebuild the studio. “I am thinking of building a

concrete box with a unique, large room with high ceilings and good ventilation, as well as light,” he says. But he had to do something with the cinders first. “Instead of throwing those things away, I’m going to rebuild them in a way,” he says. Just like a phoenix rising from the ashes. “Palimpsest” opens Oct. 15 at 709 Woodlawn Ave., Venice. A group show follows on Jan. 21 at FAB Gallery, 2001 Main St., Santa Monica.

Alexa Yeames and Lindsay Plake star in “Right Left with Heels”

Life in a Nazi’s Shoes Hand-me-down heels pass from Joseph Goebbels’ wife to a victim of modernday “patriots” in a controversial City Garage production By Christina Campodonico Santa Monica’s City Garage is known for producing edgy plays, but “Right Left with Heels” may be this season’s most controversial. The Holocaust-themed play by Polish dramatist Sebastian Majewski — about a pair of human-skin shoes belonging to the wife of Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels — is at the center of a conflict between City Garage and the Polish consulate in Los Angeles. The theater company says that the consulate promised support for their upcoming production of “Right Left with Heels.” That is until they read the play and withdrew their promise for fear of ruffling the feathers of Poland’s new rightwing government, says City Garage Producing Director Charles Duncombe. “[We were told] the consulate couldn’t support the play because they did not approve of the content and were afraid of the new Polish government in Warsaw,” Duncombe says.

Polish consulate cultural attaché Ignacy Zarski denies the claim, citing budgetary restrictions. “We cannot withdraw our financial contribution because we never promised

They’ve set up a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to pay for the production, which deals with Polish history during and after the Holocaust from the perspective of Madga Goebbels’ pumps made

“The play really deals with larger themes — not just the genocide in Poland or the Holocaust itself, but these continuing tendencies in mankind of racism and homophobia.” — City Garage Producing Director Charles Duncombe any,” reads a statement to The Argonaut. “Our lack of financial support has nothing to do with the political situation in Poland. It is merely the result of a limited budget and our regulations.” But this stumbling block hasn’t stopped Duncombe and director Frédérique Michel from going on with the show.

from Auschwitz concentration camp victims. The shoes, played by actresses Lindsay Plake and Alexa Yeames, go on to tell the fates of their successive owners — a female soldier in the Red Army, a doctor’s wife who denounces a Jewish woman, a secret police interrogator, and

finally a cross-dresser who’s beaten up by far-right young Polish “patriots.” “The content of the play is extremely important,” says Duncombe of City Garage’s decision to produce the play. “The play really deals with larger themes — not just the genocide in Poland or the Holocaust itself, but these continuing tendencies in mankind of racism and homophobia. “In some ways, it’s unflattering, but it’s also a truthful portrait,” he continues. “Majewski has told some uncomfortable and complex truths about his own society.” The personally resonating quality of Majewski’s text inspired Michel to direct the play after reading it in an anthology of 21st-century Polish drama. “My grandfather was born in France and was Jewish and was denounced by someone with my uncle. They sent my grandfather and my uncle to Auschwitz and they died there in the camps,” Michel

says. “[The play] was close to me and the story of my family.” To write the play, Majewski drew on his personal knowledge of Polish history and his experiences growing up in Wroclaw, Poland — a city that underwent dramatic population changes when it was transferred from German to Polish control in the wake of World War II. “Throughout my playwriting I like to deal with the history — its narratives and manipulations, the whole process of forgetting and remembering,” Majewski wrote in an email to The Argonaut. “The story of Magda Goebbels’ shoes is also the record of my own memory of the world’s history. … I made use of my knowledge of Nazism topics, World War II, some Polish history regarding the city of Wroclaw. … Living there, I observed how history is being politicized, how the narratives are changing — first the communistic one, then the neoliberal, and finally the rightwing narration.” A private-sponsorship has made it possible for Majewski to visit Los Angeles during the play’s opening weekend on July 8, 9 and 10. After each of these shows he will discuss the play during dual-language Q&A sessions moderated by Polish scholar and journalist Eva Sobolevsky. Majewski is interested to see how his

play will find its footing with Los Angeles audiences, especially since readings of the play abroad have not sparked the same level of controversy. “It’s the first time my play is going to be staged outside Poland and outside Europe. I must admit that I am very curious how American audiences will face the play, which is so strongly bonded with Polish history and realities,” wrote Majewski. Ultimately, he wants viewers to decide whether his work is tangoing with trouble or bravely out of step. “There is no thesis in any of my plays. So ‘Right Left with Heels’ does not contain any arbitrary thesis. By all means, I practice critical art, but my critique is aimed at public expectations, their routines and passion [for] typecasting.” “Right Left with Heels” plays at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays through Aug. 14 at City Garage, Bergamot Station T1, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica. Tickets are $20 to $25, or pay-what-you-can at the door on Sundays. A fundraising reception catered by Santa Monica-based Polish restaurant Solidarity ($50, including priority seating) happens after the July 8 premiere.

“Rib wings” — grilled beef ribs glazed with chili sauce — offer the tang of Buffalo wings with a Southeast Asian twist

By Richard Foss

Wallflower

609 Rose Ave., Venice (424) 744-8136 wallflowervenice.com When I heard there was an Indonesian restaurant called Wallflower in Venice, my reaction was puzzlement. Wallflower has two meanings: It’s a shrub native to Southern Europe, or a shy person who is uncomfortable at parties. Neither seemed appropriate for a restaurant featuring one of the boldest, most distinctive cuisines of Asia. The restaurant’s exterior is certainly not extroverted; the only signage is the name in small black letters on dark green wood — invisible after dark. Despite this, people are certainly finding the place, and when a friend and I showed up without reservations we were lucky to get the last table. That was on the patio, which lacks the original art inside but is quite pleasant.

The most famous style of Indonesian dining is rijstaffel, a feast of many small dishes, but that’s not the way most Indonesians dine or what’s done here. Instead there is a short but interesting menu with “street

manager comped one of our appetizers in recompense. The wait was worth it because the first item to arrive, a duck eggroll of the type called lumpia, was terrific. The two fat rolls were stuffed with spiced duck

The spicy, smoky cherry flavor is like nothing else. snacks,” fried rice and noodle dishes, and a few large items that can be entrees or shared plates. And rice, of course, because every Indonesian meal includes at least one kind made with coconut milk, herbs and spices. Our meal started off a bit rocky because it took a long time to get the attention of our server, who was covering the six patio tables plus some inside. The restaurant was apparently shorthanded that day, and he apologized several times for the delay. After we ordered there was another delay, as many orders hit the kitchen and bar at the same time, and the

meat chopped with vegetables, and somehow the interior was moist and rich while the layers of pastry remained crisp. The rolls came with sorrel leaves, a native of Northern Europe with a flavor comparable to lemongrass, giving us the option to add an extra cool, citrusy crunch to each bite. It was an inspired idea. The flavors of the stuffed calamari were less in focus. Unlike everything else we had, the spicing was oddly muted, with polite hints of tamarind, ginger and garlic. The ideas were (Continued on page 18)

sound, but they had been just a bit too cautious in implementing them. We asked our server’s advice about main courses and ended up with “rib wings” and a rice noodle dish called kwee tiauw goreng. The fried noodle dish was made traditionally, with flat noodles, bok choy, bean sprouts and a crisp-edged fried egg. It had a gentle heat thanks to a dash of peppery sambal chili paste in the mix, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A warning to vegetarians: Some dishes look meatless but include ground or dried shrimp unless you request otherwise. If you are serious about not eating fish or shrimp, tell your server. The “rib wings” were grilled beef ribs glazed with chili sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. They had the tang of Buffalo wings with a Southeast Asian twist, and we liked it, although in retrospect wished we had tried one of the more unusual items like curried oxtail stew. The ribs would be a safe choice for someone only mildly

The Red Envelope: Gin, hibiscus tea, coconut pandan, lemon and egg white adventurous, and we should have let our server push us more to the wild side. Though we had a noodle dish, we also ordered two small bowls of rice — one made with ginger, lemongrass and kaffir lime, the other with chicken broth, coconut milk and spices. Having tried these we decided that on our next visit we’ll order small plates from the street snack section and get both rices, because it would be a great way to taste more flavors. We’ll also try more cocktails, because there are spectacular ideas here. We now know that a hint of star anise works wonders in a Manhattan, and a Penicillin

cocktail is even better with a dash of jasmine. We liked an egg flip made with mescal, bourbon and lemongrass, but the star of the evening was an original called the Huo. This combines bourbon, two cherry liqueurs and a hint of Szechuan peppercorn, and the spicy, smoky cherry flavor is like nothing else. Wallflower offers well-chosen wines and beers, but if you like cocktails this is a destination. Three fusion desserts are offered, and though tempted by the lemongrass coconut panna cotta, we decided to have it next time. And there will be a next time, because we were already planning it as we left. The prices are above what we’d pay at a funky authentic place in the 626, but that’s not what this is or is trying to be. Wallflower is bringing Indonesian inspiration and a modern vibe to a hideaway place near the beach, and that’s a brave business plan. They deserve to succeed, and I believe they will. Wallflower is open from 5:30 to 10 p.m. daily and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for weekend brunch.

Community Spirit Makes a Splash The annual Westchester Fourth of July Parade drew its biggest crowd yet Photos by Maria Martin

7 Loyola Boulevard was awash in red, white and blue for the 17th annual Westchester Fourth of July Parade, a local tradition that continues to grow in popularity each year. This year’s crowd of spectators appeared to be the largest yet — quite possibly as many 10,000 people, said Gwen Vuchsas, chair of the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce’s parade committee.

Nature in a Bottle Maison Fleurette brings garden-sourced scents to Montana Avenue By Stephanie Case

Ever since she opened her store on Montana Avenue last week, herbalist Shalimar Luciano hears the same phrase from pedestrians who stop in: “I had to follow my nose.” Through the open door of Maison Fleurette (French for “house of little flower”) wafts scents of lemon peel, mint leaves and rose petals. Inside, bright white shelves are lined with lotions, potpourris, linen sprays and bath scrubs — some packed with coffee and cardamom, others with orange peel or lavender. “I love when you can capture the scent of nature and put it in a crème, or a hair product, or a face mist,” Luciano says. “It’s fascinating to me.” Luciano has been capturing nature in a bottle for decades. Before opening Maison Fleurette, she spent 20 years operating a natural boutique in Montecito and most recently owned Shalimar Apothecary of Scent in West Hollywood. Maison Fleurette is Luciano’s first venture exclusively selling her own botanical brand, which is sourced almost entirely from her home garden, then whipped up at her Beverly Hills apothecary. There, she boils roses, extracts herbs with different solvents, and crafts candles from beeswax and essential oils. As the daughter of a landscape architect and an avid gardener living in New Jersey — the Garden State, no less — Luciano spent her childhood immersed in plants. “I understood there was a healing value to flowers,” she says — that certain blooms could

relax, refresh and nourish the body. Later, as a California mother, she made botanical remedies for her four daughters, wary of store-bought items that boasted the same natural benefits. “I’ve watched the trend through the years, how people have jumped on the bandwagon of ‘natural,’” Luciano says. “It can mean almost anything.” In the past, manufacturing companies pushed for Luciano to inject chemical scents into her products, but she held strong to her natural roots. “It’s absolutely the antithesis of anything I create,” Luciano says. “You can make anything smell good with fragrance molecules, but those are chemicals. If I have a fragrance — rose or bergamot or mint or cinnamon — it was extracted from the plant itself.” Only a select few of Luciano’s ingredients come from outside of her garden — most notably her rose oil, which she buys straight from the world-famous Bulgarian Rose Valley. Despite the European infusion, Maison Fleurette’s core is unquestionably homegrown. Luciano’s four daughters all aid the growing business. Her grandchildren lend a hand too, watering plants and plucking tiny jasmine petals from her backyard, all with the same youthful enthusiasm Luciano had as a Garden State girl. “It’s a family business in every sense of the word,” she says.

Shalimar Luciano smiles during the grand opening of Maison Fleurette R i g h t : Luciano’s products contain only natural ingredients, many of them from her home garden Above:

Infirmity, Fruit and Fun The Blind Lemon Peel All-Stars host a pop-up blues party in Santa Monica Unless you really know the blues, you don’t know the blues. So says longtime Playa del Rey resident David Hale, a lifelong bluesman on a mission to expand Westsiders’ understanding of the genre’s range and variety. Hale, aka Blind Lemon Peel — “all blues names seem to start with infirmity and end with fruit,” he explains — heads to the Santa Monica Pier on Friday to host the Blind Lemon Peel Pop-Up Blues Festival at Rusty’s Surf Ranch. “What I’m looking to do is enlarge the reach of the blues in the community, because most people have a very limited blues vocabulary,” Hale says. “The reality is there’s Texas blues, Chicago blues, Delta blues, Memphis blues, the Philly blues-funk-soul thing, and then you’ve got West Coast blues. We do gospel, soul, funk — all of it blues, but different variations.” The very lineup of the Blind Lemon Peel All-Stars speaks to a wide range of musical talent. Before touring East Coast and West Coast clubs for decades, Hale learned from one cousin who hung out with Ry Cooder at McCabe’s Guitar Shop back in the day and another who played keyboards with Brownie McGhee and Sonny Perry.

The Blind Lemon Peel All-Stars Drummer Craig Kimbrough played with Solomon Burke for 20 years and does the Cajun thing with Swamp Dogg. Bassist Ray Brundidge toured for eight years with James Brown, and harmonica player Fred Saunders toured with Mötley Crüe. Supporting the Blind Lemon Peel All-Stars and joining them during parts of their set are Tony D and the Blues Bandits (Santa Monica locals by way of Chicago) and singer Alyssa Baron. — Joe Piasecki The Blind Lemon Peel Pop-Up Blues Festival pops off at 9:30 p.m. Friday, July 8, at Rusty’s Surf Ranch, 256 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica.

Humanity and Humility Texas troubadour Slaid Cleaves follows in the footsteps of Guy Clark and Merle Haggard

PAGE 32 THE ARGONAUT July 7, 2016

Photo by Karen Cleaves

By Bliss Bowen Back in the early 2000s, around the time his career-making album “Broke Down” was released, I went to see singer-songwriter Slaid Cleaves at the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena. I can’t recall if it was a Sunday or a weeknight; what I do remember is that I was one of maybe half a dozen people in the house. “Broke Down” was garnering adulatory reviews but, despite the critical respect, Cleaves remained a largely unknown entity outside of Texas. Yet he gave a completely committed performance that night, joking and sharing stories between songs like he didn’t mind playing to an audience that could have comfortably fit inside his living room. “I do remember that show,” Cleaves says with a genial laugh during a phone conversation about the West Coast tour that’s bringing him to McCabe’s on Saturday. “I was sort of used to those crowds at that point because I didn’t have much success before ‘Broke Down’ came out. So I was happy to get any crowd at all.” Poor turnouts like that can crush an artist’s spirit, especially when they’re followed by long freeway drives to another gig with no financial guarantee. The upside is that such nights can also provide sweet opportunities to get to know people who’ve made time to experience your music. “When a very small crowd sees a performer up there, there’s a sense of pity and empathy and sympathy that sort of bonds the audience to the artist,” Cleaves says with a chuckle. “It can be a lasting bond.” Over the past 15 years, he has bonded with quite a few loyal fans — not enough to make him a household name, but enough to afford him a steady career. He plays to bigger audiences now, and his merch table is stacked with almost a dozen albums, including the just-released “Bonus Tracks, Vol. 1,” a collection of demos and instrumentals he describes as “a little something for diehard fans.” He just emerged from a week and a half in the studio with guitarist/producer Scrappy Jud Newcomb (who’ll accompany him Saturday), recording an album he hopes to finish in the fall. He’s earned his reputation as an Americana artist of conscience and craft, a songwriter whose narratives are peopled by soldiers, factory workers, ranch hands and hounded gamblers whose dilemmas feel familiar to Cleaves’ listeners. That humanity makes his songs resonate. In that respect he’s traveling a path laid out by recently departed songwriting icons such as Guy Clark and Merle Haggard.

Slaid Cleaves has earned his reputation as an Americana artist of conscience and craft “I do feel like I’m a bit of a torchbearer,” he acknowledges. “I’m not breaking any new ground. I’m picking up where those guys left off, and continuing in their tradition, in the tradition of Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash and John Prine

“I remember early on being cognizant that, as bleak a picture as I paint in my songs, there should always be a hopeful note to them, or at least the song should be presented in a way that’s uplifting,” he explains. “I’m uplifted by sad songs, for

and Guy Clark. That’s the craft that I fell into, that’s the craft that I’ve been working on, and I don’t have any other skills. That’s just the direction I ended up going. Thankfully there’s a small subset of music lovers interested in this type of lyric-based, folk-based music.” Cleaves also resembles his forebears in that he believes there’s more hope to be found in honesty than in falsely imposed cheer.

some reason — maybe because it makes you know you’re not alone in the world when you’re suffering. I think there’s a little silver lining in all my music, if you experience it in the intended way.” A native New Englander, Cleaves moved to Austin 25 years ago so he could afford to make that music. He’s still associated with Austin, though he’s now settled in Wimberley, a small town about 40 miles out in the countryside. Like

other music meccas, including Los Angeles, the Texas capital and its storied music community have undergone profound changes as tech companies like Hewlett-Packard, eBay and Samsung have transformed the city into a trafficjammed “Silicon Hills.” “It’s still a good place to find all kinds of different music and food and to make your own path,” Cleaves observes, “but I worry sometimes that it’s just getting too expensive. One of the reasons I moved to Austin was because it was so cheap. Twenty-five years ago, Austin rent was about two-thirds what my rent in Portland, Maine, was — and that’s not even an expensive city. Austin having so much cool art and cool music and being so cheap was a no-brainer 25 years ago. It’s not cheap anymore. It’s still pretty danged vibrant now, but I worry about the future of the music scene, that young people are not gonna be able to afford to be a part of it.” Slaid Cleaves plays at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 9, at McCabe’s Guitar Shop, 3101 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica. $25.

Someday, Her Prince Will Run I’m a single woman in my 40s. It’s been ages since I’ve seriously dated anyone. People tell me that I seem “closed off.” I don’t want to be, but I worry that I’ll get into another relationship that ends badly. I don’t want to die alone, but I just don’t think I can survive another heartbreak. — Terrified My dad loves quoting that FDR line, “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.” Sorry, Pops, but that’s ridiculous. There are things to fear in life. A couple of examples that spring to mind: 1. A hug from the lady at work who just got back from vacationing in Ebola territory. 2. Being in immediate need of lifesaving surgery and waking up to your drunken neighbor operating on you with salad utensils and a steak knife. However, it turns out that there’s a next part to that “fear itself” line — explaining that the problematic kind of fear is “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to

life (rather than detach and isolate yourself), a belief in taking action to make things better (rather than sinking into “passivity and powerlessness”), and a willingness to face stressful stuff and use it as a learning experience — transforming personal disasters into personal growth. Even if the behaviors that make up hardiness don’t come naturally to you, they’re there for the taking. So, yes, heartbreak will be painful, but hardiness is a shovel you can use to dig yourself out. What you don’t get to do is make the bratty demand, “I want love without hurt or disappointment!” You can fill up your life so it won’t be so empty if somebody leaves you and get comfy with the hard truth: Having love is no guarantee that you won’t “die alone” — choking on a chicken bone just as your beloved’s gone out the door all, “Wow, double coupon day at the Quik Sak!

convert retreat into advance.” Perhaps that sounds familiar? Granted, when love packs its bags, leaving you with just a few empty hangers swinging in your closet where your man’s shirts used to be, it’s normal to come undone for a while — perhaps spending some time lying on the bathroom floor in an evening dress and breakfasting on Froot Loops a la vodka. What’s also normal is recovering from heartbreak. Grief researcher George Bonanno explains that while therapists and self-help books portray grief after a loss as a paralyzing sadness that people are unable to survive without professional help, this isn’t how he finds it affects most of us. In fact, he says we are wired to be resilient — to pull ourselves out of our misery hole and get on with things. What helps in this, Bonanno explains, is “hardiness.” Research by clinical psychologist Salvatore Maddi finds that hardiness involves three interrelated attitudes: a desire to engage with people and

Can you “make a go” of this relationship? Of course you can! Before you know it, you’ll be booking one of those romantic weekend getaway

packages to try to rekindle that magical indifference you felt at the start. Unfortunately, you can’t work up to lusting after a woman, like by making your libido do pushups over her picture. We seem to have evolved to be subconsciously drawn to the smell of certain people — those who have immune system genes different from ours, with whom we’d make a baby with a broader set of defenses against icky parasites and disease. Men, in particular, evolved to be hot for features that reflect high fertility, like a small waist, big eyes, and big pillowy lips. The right smell and physical

features flick the “on” switch in what affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp calls your “seeking system,” sending you signals (in the form of “tingly zest”) — much like a sign spinner holding up a big arrow: “Your penis here!” No, obviously, you can’t have it all, but you have to have enough of it all — enough of the hots for a woman, along with the hots for who she is as a human being. This isn’t to say there won’t be issues in bed, but you’re more likely to solve them if the licensed professional best suited to help you is not the corner taxidermist.

The Joy of Being Cranky Veteran Kentwood Players actress has fun playing a grouch in “Olive and the Bitter Herbs” Photo by Shari Barrett

By Emily Rome Getting to say anything, no matter how off-color or un-PC, and getting away with it — it’s a generally accepted benefit of growing into one’s golden years. Young’uns envy their elders on that account. Olive, main character of the next production from Westchester’s Kentwood Players, is a cranky septuagenarian, a classic New York curmudgeon, and even the actress portraying Olive aspires to the near-total lack of filter Olive has. “I know people like Olive. And I kind of understand people like that ’cause I wish I could be like that!” said Gail Bernardi, who plays the titular lead in the production of “Olive and the Bitter Herbs” opening Friday at the Westchester Playhouse. This is Bernardi’s first lead role in a while, after spending more of her recent years with Kentwood Players in supporting roles and also directing. She’s been a member of the theater troupe since 1979. “Bitter Herbs” premiered in New York off-Broadway in 2011. Kentwood Players came close to being the West Coast premiere for the comedy, but Surf City Theatre in Hermosa Beach beat the group by just three months. In the play, Olive’s cantankerous zingers are mostly slung at her neighbors, who pay her a surprise Passover visit, and she’s left to guide them through the Seder. That’s another way Bernardi identifies with Olive: Both actress and character are Jewish. For the cast photoshoot, Bernardi prepared charoset, a spread traditionally eaten with matzah. Returning to the Jewish recipe recalled memories of family Passovers “as a child having Seders with my family with my grandfather officiating,” Bernardi said.

Gail Bernardi plays Olive, a character actress who did sausage commercials in the 1980s She also has been helping her co-stars with pronunciation of Yiddish words in the script. It’s a task she is accustomed to, having done some dialog coaching work for Kentwood Players, though this particular round of pronunciation aid of

“That’s kind of Olive’s mindset — ‘I’ll get you before you get me.” — lead actress Gail Bernardi

course came with the added expertise of her own Jewish background. Olive’s hard outer shell reminded Bernardi of what her father used to tell her when she was learning how to drive: “The best defense is a good offense.”

“That’s kind of Olive’s mindset — ‘I’ll get you before you get me,’” Bernardi explained. Though Olive’s vulnerability is revealed in her grouchiness, ultimately her attitude’s the source of a lot of the play’s

comedy. Director Kirk Larson laughed out loud when first reading the play — “which I don’t normally do!” he said — and Bernardi admits that, to her at least, all the kvetching is “funnier because she’s Jewish.”

Larson said they plan to appeal to the local Jewish community as they’re promoting the play. The LGBT community of the Westside is also an audience that Larson hopes to attract to the production, with openly gay “Bitter Herbs” playwright Charles Busch having a loyal gay following. Bernardi, Larson, and everyone else involved in the production are volunteers. “We’re all doing it for fun,” Larson says of their time at the nonprofit community theater. “It’s family,” he said, sitting in the cozy lobby of the Playhouse on a Wednesday evening, where fellow volunteers walking through on their way out were greeted by a chorus of “goodbye! Have a good night!” from “Bitter Herbs” producer Lori A. Marple-Pereslete, Larson, and Bernardi. Marple-Pereslete points out it’s a good thing it’s fun because “we’re here more often that we’re at home!” For Bernardi, though, home is just about a block away from the Westchester Playhouse. But don’t expect her to be walking over homemade charoset and kugel throughout the show’s six-week run: Bernardi is relieved she just has to pretend to eat the dry matzah and doesn’t have to regularly dive into the two-hour process of making charoset. So no real Seder meal will be consumed each night the “Bitter Herbs” cast takes the stage, but Olive will complain about the stinky cheese. “Olive and the Bitter Herbs” opens at 8 p.m. Friday, July 8, and continues at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through Aug. 13 at the Westchester Playhouse, 8301 Hindry Ave., Westchester. Tickets are $18 to $20. Call (310) 645-5156 or visit kentwoodplayers.org.

WARNING ñ IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division or property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the

language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e. joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.
