L e t t e r s Ballona Do-Nothings Behave a Lot Like Trump Re: “It’s Not Money for Bulldozers” and “Work with Nature for Recovery,” Letters, July 7 The Ballona Do-Nothings are at it again. They oppose removing 15 feet of dredge spoil from the 200 acres of former wetland south of Fiji Way buried by the marina’s construction. They oppose re-contouring the land so the ocean tides can nourish planted wetland vegetation, replacing the acres and acres

of invasive weeds there today. Just like Tea Partiers, they propose to replace any proven, tried-and-true restoration plan validated by learned professionals with an incoherent fruit salad of nothing. Like Birthers, their manufactured fables of government conspiracy are intended to confuse and create fear. The Coastal Commission properly threw them out of proceedings for the now successful Malibu Lagoon and Oxford Basin restorations, and

will do so for Ballona. We’ll all benefit from the restored tidal wetlands and public access that the coming Ballona restoration brings. Like Mr. Trump, these “Save All of Ballona” extremists only want to take us backward, condemning a once vibrant, flourishing tidal marsh to an eternity of suffocating death. We and our political leaders must together seize every opportunity to oppose these frauds with extreme prejudice. David Kay, Playa Vista

More Housing = Fewer Homeless I am writing in strong support of the recent motions that L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin has introduced to meaningfully help the homeless in Venice. The motions to build permanent supportive housing on cityowned land, establish an adequately-sized storage program and ensure 24/7 access to public restrooms are critically important in ending homelessness, as well as providing for the basic needs of people forced to

live on our streets until we can end homelessness for everybody. As a resident of Venice for 28 years, a supporter of Venice Community Housing Corp. and a volunteer at VCH’s Transitional Living Center, I feel strongly that we must commit ourselves to providing housing and other services for our homeless population. We are a community of compassionate people with the resources to end (Continued on page 12)

Volunteers made fast work of removing graffiti from the Vietnam POW/MIA mural A 24-year-old man has been arrested on felony vandalism charges in connection with the desecration of the Vietnam POW/MIA mural in Venice on the eve of Memorial Day weekend, but authorities believe three other suspects remain at large. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies took Angel Castro into custody on July 13 in Los Angeles. Investigators tied Castro to the tagger handle “LITER,” one of four handles that were spray-painted directly over many of the 2,273 names of unaccounted for American servicemen on May 25. The mural on the concrete wall at Pacific Avenue at Sunset Court — now tarped over pending decisions about whether to restore it

and how — was painted 24 years ago by a homeless Vietnam veteran. According to a Sheriff’s Department bulletin, Castro admitted his involvement in the tagging to Det. Michael Thibodeaux after his arrest. Castro is being held on $95,000 bail. The felony complaint against Castro also alleges that he was convicted of robbery last year, according to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office. If convicted as charged, Castro faces a maximum possible sentence of six years in state prison. Authorities are still seeking the taggers tied to the other three handles left on the wall —“PHEB,” “NONER” and “SNAKE” — department spokesman

Ramon Montenegro said. “Our detectives feel confident that we’ll eventually be able to identify the other three,” Montenegro said. The vandalism over a large portion of the long-neglected memorial sparked outrage throughout Venice and the region. A crew of volunteers led by a retired Marine Corps veteran scrubbed much of the original graffiti off the wall days after the tagging, but those efforts further damaged the mural by removing enough of the original paint to erase some of the names, which complicates restoration efforts. Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to contact detectives at (888) 950-7233 or report an anonymous tip at (800) 222-8477.

Another Driver Plunges into Marina del Rey Harbor Los Angeles city firefighters rescued a driver who crashed through a railing and into Marina del Rey harbor last Thursday, marking the second time in eight months that a car has gone off the edge of Pacific Avenue and landed in the water. Firefighters and Los Angeles County lifeguards responded to the 5500 block of Pacific Avenue near Via Marina at 12:13

a.m. and extracted the driver from the vehicle. There were no reported injuries, however, said L.A. Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott. The LAPD’s West Traffic Bureau is investigating the crash. On Nov. 17, a car speeding southbound on Pacific near Via Marina crashed through a guardrail and ended up in the water. According to witnesses, the driver of that car fled the scene after emerging from the

harbor. Another crash in December about a tenth of a mile away left three teens dead and another in critical condition after their speeding car flipped and hit a tree while rounding the curve on Via Marina near Mariners Village. The California Highway Patrol, which investigated the crash, said no one in the car was wearing seat belts at the time of the collision.

Penmar Park Goes Green Water recycling system will save as much as 108,000 gallons a day By Gary Walker A city water bond approved by voters 12 years ago is funding an underground storm water recycling system that sanitation officials say will generate enough water to meet the irrigation needs of Penmar Park and Penmar Golf Course — as much as 108,000 gallons a day. Back in 2011, city officials and environmental nonprofits unveiled a rainwaterharvesting project at Penmar designed to collect 3 million gallons of rainwater to be used for irrigation. This second stage of the project, unveiled by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti during a June 30 press conference at the park, will do even more by adding a disinfecting, filtration and testing system. “The first stage did a good job of keeping the dirt out of the ocean. But now we’re going a step further by making sure that the water can be used on site,” Garcetti said. “Before, it would drip back into the aquifer and couldn’t fully be used by the park. We’re saying

rain that falls in Penmar should be used in Penmar, and it should be clean water, not dirty water.” The treated storm water will replace potable water being used to irrigate the

gallons per day,” Johnson said. Water generated by the new filtration system will also irrigate adjacent Marine Park in Santa Monica, according to the mayor’s office.

“Rain that falls in Penmar should be used in Penmar, and it should be clean water, not dirty water.” — Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti

golf course and park, resulting in the 108,000-gallon daily savings, Bureau of Sanitation spokeswoman Heather Johnson said. That’s roughly the daily water usage of 1,000 Angelenos. “Demand will vary based on weather and watering needs at the park, and 108,000 is the average water demand for Penmar Park and Penmar Golf Course. At the peak of demand, the park and golf course can use up to 200,000

The Penmar Park Water Quality Improvement Project is part of a series of programs funded by Proposition O, a 2004 water bond measure that funds clean water projects up to $500 million to help meet federal Clean Water Act regulations. “Voters around the city have said they want clean, drinkable water, and that’s essentially what this does and what Prop O is doing,” said Garcetti, who was one of the authors of Proposition O.

The new storm water recycling system will take about 18 months to complete. L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice and also attended the press conference, said the project is not only smart water policy but an example of good government. “Prop. O is a shining example of how we can use voter investment of a ballot measure to deliver for Los Angeles and to make things better. If there’s anything that comes out of today, it should be a reminder that government does deliver when voters decide to partner with government,” Bonin said. Garcetti spoke of the project’s multiple benefits. “It’s never about just one thing. It’s definitely about clean water, but it’s also about a great park. It’s about a drought, but it’s also about a great golf course. And when you tie these things together, I think people understand that $1 can stretch to four or five if we use it in a multipurpose way,” he said. gary@argonautnews.com

The View from the Floor An RNC delegate from Westchester finds energy and optimism in Cleveland By Joe Piasecki As a volunteer official for the Donald Trump campaign, Westchester aircraft mechanic Tony Leal fully embraced his role as a political establishment outsider — even among many active Republicans in his own neighborhood. But on Tuesday, his 47th birthday, it was Leal who found himself at the center of the action. As a delegate to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Leal cast his vote to help his formerly outsider candidate clench the GOP presidential nomination. Reached by phone that evening, Leal said media depictions of political turmoil dividing the party faithful don’t accurately portray his own experience on the convention floor. “By and large, it’s pretty civil,” he said. “What you see on TV is just for TV.” Leal acknowledges, however, that things got off to a raucous start when delegates opposed to Trump mounted a failed push to broaden the nomination field. At the last RNC, some party leaders pushed through a rule change that kept outsider Ron Paul from being considered for the nomination. Now they were trying to undo that change in the hope of challenging Trump. A former nonpartisan voter who supported Paul at the time (and decided to volunteer as a 2016 delegate because of how Paul was treated), Leal reveled momentarily in the karmic comeuppance of it all — “It backfired on the insiders. I think it’s hilarious,” he said — but there’ve been mostly positive vibes since. While much of social media has been

Tony Leal is in his element at the Republican National Convention skewering Melania Trump for lifting chunks of her convention speech from First Lady Michelle Obama’s 2008

“Make America America Again” speech. “You have your Bernie supporters who want everything handed to them, but on

“What you see on TV is just for TV.” — Trump delegate Tony Leal

address to the DNC, Leal said the overall message resonated with him, his wife watching from home, and apparently most of the Trump-pledged California delegation. The same goes for actor Scott Baio’s

the Trump side it’s ‘Don’t wait for it to be handed to you — go out there and get it,” he said. Leal, however, is no lockstep conservative.

The child of two Mexican-born parents, he initially balked at supporting Trump because of Trump’s statements denigrating Mexican immigrants and calls to build a wall along the Mexican border. But then Leal thought about how former President Ronald Reagan’s stance on immigration eventually softened into amnesty — he figures Trump will eventually come around to support a strict guest worker program — and the need to fight human trafficking and drug smuggling across the border. “What got me listening to Trump was when he said de-fund NATO and renegotiate NAFTA. Jobs have disappeared because of NAFTA,” he said. Leal also agrees with Trump’s acceptance of gay marriage and used his power as a delegate to voice dissent against the convention-adopted party platform opposing gay marriage. His position: “Get government out of marriage altogether.” Other than that, Leal is happy. And, overall, the pomp and circumstance of the convention and bonding with other delegates has filled him with optimism heading into November — no matter what the haters say. “It’s like driving a motorcycle in the desert: If you don’t want to hit a big rock, don’t stare at it. Look where you want to go,” he said. “Democrats, the [Sen. Ted] Cruz people and anybody who’s against Trump want us to dwell on the negatives hoping we’ll hit the negatives. I’m focusing on the positives.” joe@argonautnews.com

No Free Rides to the DNC Local Sanders delegates get stuck paying lavish bills to support a populist agenda By John Seeley The Bernie Sanders campaign generated several firsts in modern presidential politics — embracing the word socialism, for one — but its biggest breakthrough was to show that a candidate backed by small donations from the “little people” (that now-famous $27 average contribution) could put up a big fight. So it’s a major irony that the key players in the Sanders campaign’s last act, the delegates backing him and his platform at next week’s Democratic National Convention, will have to spend yuuuge money — close to $4,000 each — to play their four-day roles in Philadelphia. PAGE 10 THE ARGONAUT July 21, 2016

Of course Clinton delegates have to contend with the same airfare, lodging and meal expenses. But, tending to be older and more established in their careers, they won’t find those costs quite so insurmountable as many young Berners just entering the workforce. When the state’s Sanders delegate caucus gathered for the first time in June at the California Democratic Party meeting in Long Beach, the primary topic of discussion wasn’t Hillary’s primary victory or fighting the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It was how to find money for the convention trip. Citing legal obstacles to tapping

campaign donations, a Sanders campaign official advised they turn to online crowdfunding. Later, the website adoptaberniedelegate.com (a sort of clearing house for delegate GoFundMe pages) boosted the visibility of the problem. As of Tuesday, delegates had raised just over $500,000 of about $1.6 million sought, according to the similar website fundberniedelegates.com, and recently the Sanders campaign announced it would come through to defray some hotel expenses for delegates in need. Two of the three Sanders delegates in Rep. Ted Lieu’s largely coastal 33rd

Congressional District have launched crowdfunding pages. Bruins for Bernie cofounder Brian Carolus’ GoFundMe page has brought in about a fifth of his $3,600 fundraising target, so he’s been selling stuff on eBay and recently participated in a dunk-adelegate booth at a July rally. Even so, he might end up sleeping on the floor of a shared hotel room in Philly. Sanders delegate Alexis Edelstein, a resident of Playa del Rey, set a higher target — $4,650 — and he’s almost (Continued on page 18)

Where Compassion Meets Technology The Gillis is a competition to see who can have the most fun By Christina Campodonico

The Gillis has become known as a big party on the beach, but this year the storied volleyball tournament is downsizing and going back to its historic roots on Toes Beach in Playa del Rey, where the event was held for the first 25 of its 46 years. “We’re coming back home,” says Gillis event organizer Dave Cressman, who originally co-founded The Gillis with his brother Steve on the shores of what was formerly Gillis Beach before moving the tourney to Toes and then to Dockweiler. “My brother was trying to impress a girl, so he said, ‘I’m going to have a tournament and maybe she’ll be impressed,’” recalls Cressman. It certainly impressed the public, becoming one the of the most popular events in Playa del Rey over the decades, but this year’s change of venue — and weeks earlier date — aims to make the event smaller and more intimate.

“We had to move from Dockweiler because it was getting too big, so we decided to cut it back and get back to our roots as we close down toward 50 years,” says Cressman.

The 2016 tournament keeps true to the invitational intent of the event with fewer brackets and select teams, but spectators are still welcome to the party. “Everyone is welcome to watch,” says Cressman — and he isn’t just talking about the volleyball games. The Gillis’ annual Showtime costume competition will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday and is a great opportunity to see players and participants dress up in fun and fantastical costumes from gnomes to astronauts.

“After that everyone wanted to do costumes,” recalls Cressman. Showtime is just one of many traditions that The Gillis has created and fostered over the years, so Cressman is glad to be able to continue the tourney at Toes. “For us, it’s a legacy,” he says. The Gillis 46 happens from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (July 24 and 23) at Toes Beach, Playa del Rey.

Say No to the Homeless Tax City Hall wants to correct L.A. County’s failures by asking property owners to pick up the tab By Mark Ryavec The author is president of the Venice Stakeholders Association and the former chief deputy assessor for Los Angeles County. When it comes to the City of Los Angeles’ proposed $1.2-billion bond for homeless housing, residents should look past the obvious question of whether this will really get the 27,000 people living on our sidewalks into housing. Instead they should focus on more fundamental questions: Is this the city’s responsibility? Is a new tax really needed? Will the tax burden be spread fairly? Is an adequate process in place to avoid mismanagement and corruption? The answer to all four questions: No. Under California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 17000, counties — not cities — are the government entities primarily responsible for taking care of mentally incompetent, poor, indigent and incapacitated persons. Yet Los Angeles County provides only $221 per month in general relief (which jumps to a grant of $877 from Social Security if a person is totally disabled). As an old saying goes, the only problem with poor people is that they don’t have any money. If the county had regularly indexed the $221 figure to account for decades of inflation, a significant number of the homeless would be able to afford to live in shared apartments and houses. In the face of the county shirking its duty, the goodhearted folks at L.A. City Hall have volunteered to help — as long as someone else pays for it. Before residents let City Hall again put its hand into their wallet, they might consider that the City Administrative Officer is projecting the city’s budget will grow from $5.55 billion to $6.20 billion in just the next four years, with about $650 million in new revenues each year by 2020.

property. The city’s rent control ordinance does not allow apartment owners to pass on property tax increases to renters, so the apartment owners will have to absorb all the increase. But commercial property is frequently under a triple net lease, which requires the lessee to pay the property taxes — meaning lots of mom-and-pop businesses will have to pick up the bill. With more than $1 billion at play, the potential is high for mismanagement, favoritism and corruption. However, the oversight committee designed by the City Council has the foxes guarding the hen house. Four are appointed by the mayor; three by the City Council.

Reflections on a Century As Westchester turns 75, Laura Histed — a local since 1960 — celebrates her 100th birthday By Tiffany Walton Westchester celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, a milestone that traces the beginnings of this small town in a big city back to the concrete foundations of its first homes being poured in late 1941. Laura Histed, a 56-year resident of Westchester, has 25 more reasons to celebrate. She turns 100 years old this week. The year Histed was born, World War I raged in Europe, Woodrow Wilson was president and Norman Rockwell did his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post. Speaking with her last weekend was a little bit like traveling back in time — a quick capsule ride into Westchester’s past and that of small-town America in general. She represents the simple elegance of a life younger people like me will never experience, except for watching old Hollywood movies. It’s the elegance of old-fashioned fun that our grandmothers alluded to — like finding small treasures in the dime store and attending glorious events that no longer exist. Histed has long been an active member of the Westchester community, participating in the local PTA as well as the Westchester Woman’s Club, where she is now an honorary member. On Tuesday, July 26, Histed will be joining another group: the Centenarian Club. When asked if she has anything special planned, she says, “No, just a lot of gab.” Three days before her actual big day, however, friends and family — 52 of them already on the list — will throw Histed a birthday party in the backyard of her Westchester home.

Laura Histed is planning “a lot of gab” for her 100th birthday celebration The theme is high tea, and Histed has already selected three outfits she’s considering. The main dilemma

With a smile, she recalls tagging items for sale throughout the various departments of The Broadway. But her favorite

“Everyone in Westchester was so social. It made me feel welcome.” — Laura Histed

is whether to wear a long dress or a pantsuit. Fashion has long held an important place in Histed’s life. In 1984, when her husband Charles died, this longtime stay-at-home mom went to work at The Broadway, a large department store (kind of like a Nordstrom) that was located on Sepulveda Boulevard (where Kohl’s is today) from 1949 to 1990.

Don’t Want Glasses? FREE LASIK CONSULTATION

part was the “marking room,” an area where she and a group of friends who also worked at the store would go to see all the items that were being reduced. “I spent most of my money shopping at The Broadway,” she says with a laugh. At least one of the ladies she worked with is coming to the party. Histed also fondly remembers two former downtown movie theaters: The

Loyola and The Paradise. Both have now been turned into medical buildings, but have maintained their stately facades. Down-to-earth, jovial and charismatic in an understated way, Histed smiles warmly as she speaks of her memories. A shy twinkle in her eye and a girlish way about her makes you want to ask, “and what else? And then, what happened?” She seems to love people and community, especially the Westchester community, and the simplicities of life. Histed, her husband and their three children arrived in Westchester from Cleveland, Ohio, in 1960. Her husband’s employer had transferred him to Westchester, and Histed immediately felt comfortable in her new surroundings. “Westchester was more or less like what I had left in Ohio; things were the same, essentially. It looked like a small country town, but The Broadway was here,” she said. “Everyone in Westchester was so social. It made me feel welcome. And I especially liked the weather.” Histed and her family took to the social atmosphere and promptly joined the Westchester Methodist Church, where she is still a member. And the ladies she worked with at The Broadway, well, they get together for lunch about once a year. Since retirement, she’s also become a Wednesday-evening Canasta group regular. So how does Histed feel about turning the big 100? “It still amazes me. I never thought I’d live this long,” she said. “I don’t know why I reached this age. I was surprised one day when I realized that I was getting older.” But there is one small piece of advice she’d like to share, a suggestion as simply elegant as she is: “Be kind to one another.”

Trail Blazers Hikers on an epic journey along the California coast will celebrate their 1,000th mile at the Venice Pier By Melina Sempill Watts Sometimes love makes people do crazy things. Jocelyn Enevoldsen and Morgan Visalli are showing their affection for the California’s

California Coastal Act of 1976). The challenge facing Mo and Jo is that, despite being on the books for 44 years, more than a third of the trail doesn’t actually exist yet.

“Not a lot of people know there’s supposed to be a public path along the coastline of the entire state. We want to get people talking about it.” — Alisan Amrhein coastline by hiking all 1,200 miles of it so that maybe someday you can too. Their 14-week MoJo Coastwalk began May 1 at the Oregon border and brings them to Los Angeles on Saturday, when Enevoldsen and Visalli will celebrate their 1,000th mile with a public meet-and-greet at the Venice Pier. The journey follows the length of the largely unknown California Coastal Trail, a braided network of connected pathways mandated by the same 1972 state ballot initiative that created the California Coastal Commission (later made permanent by the

Gaps in the voter-mandated trail system have forced Enevoldsen and Visalli to confront rugged terrain or to circumvent private property or military installations by taking long detours along California State Route 1 or slipping through narrow seaside passages at low tide. “Not a lot of people know there’s supposed to be a public path along the coastline of the entire state. We want to get people talking about it,” says “third sister of the sea” Alisan Amrhein, who’s coordinating the hike, providing essential logistical support and walking portions of the trail.

The three women hope the MoJo Coastwalk will increase public awareness of the California Coastal Trail and help push state and local governments to finish the job. As part of a California Coastal Conservancy grant, they’re also collecting GPS data so that the conservancy and the nonprofit California Coastal Trail Association can build a smartphone app to guide future visitors. *** Inspiration for the MoJo Coastwalk struck as Enevoldsen, Visalli and Amrhein were completing their master’s degrees in coastal marine resource management at UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Science and Management. “The three of us bonded over our love for the beach,” says 27-year-old Enevoldsen, who grew up in Ventura County. “When we were not at the beach, we were usually talking about the beach or our plans to get to the beach.” Visalli, 25, grew up in the Virgin Islands and New Jersey. Amrhein, 28, lives in Santa Clarita. What brought them together was enjoying the ocean “as swimmers, as surfers, as scuba divers, as kayakers,” says Enevoldsen. “We fish. We snorkel. Anything you can think of.” But the past three months have been a physically intense adventure on foot, walking with backpacks and hiking gear on rocky trails in Northern California before transitioning to bare feet and bikinis once they hit the sandy beaches of Santa Barbara County.

As much as humanly possible, they’ve faithfully walked every inch of the coast. “Big Sur is a tough section because a lot of it you have to go on Highway 1. We were planning on walking along a ridge and it was too hot and there was not enough water available. Up in Mendocino, there’s a long stretch that is just Highway 1 and most of the area is private property,” Visalli says.

mothers have instilled this in us, so we put on sunscreen multiple times a day. You should put that in there — they’ll be really proud.” *** Despite obstacles, mishaps and injuries, the hikers have kept a positive attitude. On July 13, Enevoldsen stepped on a seashell shard that went deep into her big

“We caught the tail end of the whale migration from Mexico to Alaska … [but] the otters just steal the show. They’re so freaking cute, it’s not fair.” — Jocelyn Enevoldsen She describes two long biking days to get around Highway 1, first past the nuclear Diablo Canyon Power Plant and the Vandenberg Air Force Base, then in north Santa Barbara to bypass the Bixby Ranch and the Hollister Ranch. There are also some narrow seaside passages that can only be traversed at low tide. Despite those challenges, Amrhein has done an astounding job of keeping them to a meticulously planned itinerary; they are not off schedule by even one day. Food and sunscreen are also critical to mission success. “Every single meal is a highlight for us, so we eat as much as possible,” says Enevoldsen. “And we are very, very careful about sun protection. Both of our

toe. There was nothing for it but emergency trailside self-surgery. But, as she cheerfully points out, she later stepped on a blob of tar that she’s certain is keeping her from an infection. And then there was the nighttime skunk attack. “We had laid out our materials for s’mores, the fire was going, and the plan was retreat and go to sleep — then we hear some rustling in the bushes,” Visalli recalls. “The smell was absolutely overwhelming —we could see the splatter [on the tent].” Despite an extensive effort to clean it, they had to abandon the tent and sleep outside that night. “It was not funny at that time,” says Enevoldsen. “Now it’s funny.”

Noah, Amrhein’s friendly rescue dog, sometimes tags along as their camp security system, but he’s had his own skunk troubles. “Noah got sprayed twice, in the face then at the tent,” says Amrhein. “I got baking soda and dish soap at a nearby gas station and took him to the camp showers and washed him, sudsed him like eight times and people were mad at me for being in there. … He still smells.” Other encounters with wildlife have been more uplifting. “We got to see an otter wrestling a lingcod. He dropped it, snatched it back up and we were there for the catch. We’ve seen 11 species of baby animals, because we’ve been on the trail in the spring and in early summer,” Visalli says. “The wildflowers have been spectacular — just total rainbow fields pretty much every where we’ve been.” The early part of the trip was “a whale parade,” Enevoldsen says. “We caught the tail end of the whale migration from Mexico to Alaska … [but] the otters just steal the show. They’re so freaking cute, it’s not fair.” *** Meeting people along the way has also been inspiring. Starting off around mile No. 2 in Crescent City, a local couple who had read about their adventure invited the women and other hikers who were temporarily tagging along into their home for cookies. The women are grateful to state parks officials for arranging campsites throughout their journey, but they’ve also stayed with supporters along the way and coastal inns have given them free stays. And that figures directly into the mission of the MoJo Coastwalk. “It is so exciting because every single person we tell about the California Coastal Trail loves the idea, and we’ve given them all a task, which is to tell three friends about the CCT. People we talk to say, ‘I’m going to tell way more than three,’ and that makes us all feel really good,” says Enevoldsen. “We want to tell people about this amazing resource that belongs to all of us.” *** All are welcome to join Enevoldsen and Visalli as the Mojo Coastwalk makes its way through Los Angeles County. The hikers leave Topanga State Beach at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 23, following sandy shorelines before picking up the Marvin Braude Bike Trail from Will Rodgers State Park down to the Venice Pier, where they plan to arrive by 4 p.m. that same day.

people in lower-income communities,” Morales says of the cost of attending the convention. There’s no legal case to be made, since convention expenses aren’t compulsory, but Edelstein says “the party, or the state party, should have some kind of fund” to support low-income delegates and make conventions accessible to all. In the Republican Party, however, there doesn’t appear to be any turmoil over delegate expenses for at least three reasons: The RNC costs less to attend,

“It’s a huge barrier to access for a lot of people in lower-income communities.” — Local delegate Fernando Morales

other people, I must have put in over 40 hours,” Edelstein says. The other delegate from the district, Los Angeles for Bernie lead organizer Lauren Steiner, is paying her own way and contributing to the collection cups of needier Berners. Practical problems aside, is choosing the Democratic Party nominee really a lower-case-“d” democratic process if it costs so much? When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state poll taxes a half-century ago in deciding Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, it ruled that “a state violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment whenever it makes the affluence of the voter or payment of any fee an electoral standard.” Fernando Morales, a delegate from Karen Bass’ 37th Congressional District (including Mar Vista and Del Rey) and a staffer for state Sen. Ben Allen (D- Santa Monica), sees a parallel issue here. “It’s a huge barrier to access for a lot of

delegates tend to be more financially stable, and there’s a general acceptance that individuals paying convention expenses is the natural order of things. Even though Republican National Convention delegates must pay a $900 delegate fee covering shuttles, breakfasts, and the like, they’re looking at a much lower final bill. Whether Cleveland is less expensive than Philly or Republicans are much better bargainers than Democrats, GOP delegates are paying only about half as much for lodging. Still, “there were some younger folks who wanted to go [as delegates], but looking at the costs just couldn’t afford it,” says Los Angeles County Republican Chairman Mark Vafiades. But he doesn’t see a problem with that. Regarding the plight of the underfunded Sanders delegates, Vafiades chuckles. “That’s what Bernie Sanders is all about — somebody else should pay. They just don’t understand how the economy works,” he says.

Feast on exotic Burmese cuisine alongside familiar Indian favorites at Jasmine Market richard@richardfoss.com

Jasmine Market

4135½ Sepulveda Blvd., Culver City (310) 313-3767 I was bemused when I noticed the sign for Jasmine Market on Sepulveda near Washington, because except for flowers used to flavor tea, the jasmine plant has no culinary uses. On my first visit I thought I might find a selection of teas, perhaps with fragrant ornamental shrubs nearby. There are teas at Jasmine Market, but the main attraction here is the café where Mr. Soe Lwin and his family serve two cuisines of South Asia. Lwin is from Burma, his wife Khin is from India, and there are items from both cultures on the menu here. Burmese cuisine uses chilies more moderately than neighboring Thailand and India. Sauces made with dried shrimp and fish are used as a base along with ginger, and while the dishes are fragrant they aren’t particularly hot. The Indian selections on this menu are mostly the kebabs, curries and biryanis we’re familiar with, so cautious diners might order a few things you know and explore the rest. Even better, plan the meal with your server — she’s fluent and does a fine job of describing everything. She gave us valuable tips; we went on Tuesday but were able to get some dishes listed as served only on weekends. Two of those were eggrolls and samosas, both slightly different from those I’ve had elsewhere. The eggrolls were filled with finely chopped chicken and vegetables in a delicate curry sauce, and they were superb. The stuffing was almost fluffy and had just a breath of fragrant spice, and even though they arrived at the table almost too hot to touch, we devoured them. The samosa turnovers were made from folded wonton skins, a regional variation from the garbanzo flour dough standard

Soe Lwin serves a puffed puri bread and a bowl of potato curry in much of India. Chicken, beef and potato are offered, and I intend to come back to find out if the meat versions are as good as the potato. We also tried a Burmese noodle salad, which included

The chili heat and vegetable sweetness combined with intense seafood flavor is amazing and different. shredded cabbage and onion with wheat noodles in a sauce that featured dried shrimp muskiness, tamarind sour fruitiness and a touch of chili heat. This is a fantastic balance of flavors, and we ran out of salad before we ran out of hunger for it. Along with the aforementioned appetizers we chose chicken biryani, haleem, lamb goash curry, chicken curry, and a dish called aaloo puri that was described only as “potatoes with homemade mild spices.”

Don’t get this to go, because it is best straight from the fryer. On the other hand, the lamb goash curry — made with tomato, onion and green pepper in a yogurt-based sauce — would survive the trip home in (Continued on page 20)

style. We could catch hints of coriander, cumin and fenugreek in the mix, but no one spice predominated. The lamb goash curry was mildly hot, but the haleem, a dish of meat cooked with lentils, raised the temperature a bit. Haleem can be slow cooked to a pasty consistency, but this was more like a thick stew. And though the portion looked small, it was very rich and filling. We had expected the haleem to be the spiciest dish on the table, but the chicken curry edged it out. It still wasn’t hot by the standards of most Thai or Indian places, but there was a pleasurable heat that was almost enough to raise a sweat. We had ordered some raita, the cucumber and yogurt salad that cools off Indian meals, and it was gratefully received by the more delicate palates at our table. The curry came with fresh naan bread, rice and some vegetables, adding to the variety at the table. We also had the lamb biryani made with both white and saffron rice to fill any cracks in our hunger, and we had lots of food left to go home.

Burmese noodle salad is flavored by tamarind and shrimp On another trip I tried a Burmese Mohningar — a rice noodle soup with fish, egg and pieces of banana stalk. This had bold and exotic flavors that were hard to pinpoint but were based on a slightly funky, musky fish sauce. That’s more appealing than it sounds, but trust me, the chili heat and vegetable sweetness paired with intense seafood flavor is amazing and different. For drinks, you can choose from tea or canned soft drinks both familiar and exotic. Ginger ale was a good companion to the food, but I also liked a

lychee drink that mixed sweet and tart flavors. The bill for an extravagant meal for four was $59, and it felt like a feast even though eaten from paper plates with plastic forks. Jasmine Market is a treasure for those who enjoy exotic food on a modest budget, and whether you explore Burmese food or get Indian favorites you’ll dine very well.

Madeleine Peyroux, performing Saturday at The Broad Stage, honed her skills by busking in Paris

Secular Hymns for a Troubled World Madeleine Peyroux brings unique interpretations to songs of resilience and self-exploration By Bliss Bowen When Madeleine Peyroux tripped the radar of the mainstream press with her widely acclaimed debut, 1996’s “Dreamland,” she was already a seasoned performer who’d developed her chops while busking in Paris during her teens. The tonal grain of her voice and the light way she toyed with rhythm earned her so many comparisons to Billie Holiday that the icon’s shadow almost obscured Peyroux’s individuality. Yet through subsequent albums — usually delivered after lengthy breaks from the studio — she quietly staked out her musical identity as a masterful interpreter of other artists’ songs as well as her own. She’s since established a respected career as a concert artist, and her music remains eclectic. Her albums share a common musical feel — sophisticated and melodic, with a bluesy cast and jazzy swing — yet she digs through far corners for material. Recorded live in an English church with her longtime tour mates, guitarist Jon Herington and bassist Barak Mori, Peyroux’s upcoming “Secular Hymns” finds her revisiting the songbooks of Allen Toussaint and Tom Waits, traditional blues, Stephen Foster, reggae poet Linton

Kwesi Johnson and Townes Van Zandt. Speaking from her home in New York in advance of a concert at The Broad Stage this weekend, Peyroux thoughtfully discusses singing, how to compromise with integrity, the interconnectedness of sound, and how recording “Secular Hymns” in a church was a revelation she’s still contemplating. When you’re planning concerts and the world is as chaotic as it has been lately, do you feel the need to choose songs that calm or uplift the audience? Or do you sequence them in a way that tells a story? Hmm. [Pause] Probably more the former than the latter. I think telling a story is quite calming and uplifting for a lot of people. … I’ve been aware that my music started off being very melancholy and ballad-focused and kind of dark. Hopefully not in a selfish way, hopefully not in a sort of childish way, but rather in genuine expression and exploration of those types of feelings. However, I’ve always been aware that however good it might make me feel to sing sad songs, it becomes a one-sided story, and I’ve been trying to expand on

that just didn’t work for you as a vocalist? Absolutely. There are a lot of wonderful songs that I believe in wholeheartedly, that make up a big part of what I believe in and that give me solace, that are not gonna be songs that I will, as of yet [laughs], find a way to properly do justice. Just like we need an external dialogue in our culture, the trick for me is to have an inner dialogue between what I sound good doing, what I can do and what I It’s strange how music feels more want to do. They don’t always match up. important than ever, yet certain songs So I compromise on both sides. or themes that once united people can When I was 16, I was in a group in now be divisive because emotions are Paris, the leader was an American from so much closer to the surface. upstate New York and he found this Yeah. I guess the point is to have more really old swing song from 1930somedialogue. Because it’s OK to have your thing that was a little bit, I thought, emotions near the surface if you’re disparaging. It was called “Was I Drunk, expressing what you believe in and Was He Handsome, Did My Mama Give also listening to what somebody else Me Hell.” Which of course is funny to believes in. some people. At the time I was like, “This is not cool, I don’t want to have to Interpreting songs is a different skill do this” — plus I was 16 and the person from singing them well, and you’re accomplished at both. What does a song in the song was 16. But he insisted, and he was like my father in this band and I need to convince you that you can deliver it as if you’d written it yourself? (Continued on page 22) Are there any you’ve tried to perform that for my whole career, and I’ve recently been making jokes with the audience. The context of the day-to-day life that we live in, in terms of our awareness of tragedy and the shock of what’s everyday now in the news — that’s extremely important to me. I don’t think it’s just a question of being uplifting; maybe more like soothing. That’s the goal in the end. To me it does reach into those issues that we are dealing with.

had really no other place to go. I did it, and it became a huge hit that people just loved hearing, because it was a natural thing for me to sing. I knew what the words meant, what the storyline meant; I knew how to deal with it in my own way. When I found something to be disparaging, I switched it around a little bit for my own benefit so I could feel good about how to sing it. That’s a good example of the kind of compromise that comes from what you’re good at.

You’re a songwriter, yet “Secular When navigating through market challenges, Hymns” includes none of your compositions.

Work With With You, To To Serve Serve Your Your Real Real Estate I’m working on other songs, and I couldn’t get them finished for this project with all of our touring. But this project has really inspired me to work on my next project with even more intentional focus on this idea of bringing people together in music, and I say that because there was an organic piece to this record “Secular Hymns” that speaks to that. There was a different type of crossover value — not just a business type of crossover or even a musical type, but also a contextual atmosphere in the way that we did this record, and the way we chose these songs over the last couple of years.

and they also ended up being recorded in an Episcopal church [St. Mary the Virgin in Oxfordshire, England], which is already a bit of the other side for me as an atheist. It brought a lot of symbolism up for me, and made me think a lot about why it was that this was the only place that I felt comfortable doing this type of recording live. You know, the reverb of that church is what started it all. Yet it also was a safe haven-type atmosphere, to have that reverb, and walk into that reverb, and sit down in that reverb, and have all three of us together as performers sing within that reverb. The human voice is another fingerprint, just like reverb is. It’s a very specific resonant chamber [laughs] that cannot be anything other than that one. There’s no way to replicate that in a natural way. So that process, coupled with what’s happening in the world, did bring me to a place of looking at how to make things. I will keep that in mind as I finish writing the songs I’ve been working on. Definitely.

Structure and nature in Perfect Harmony “Ingeniously nestled into a trapezoidal lot in the epicenter of art, design and cuisine, Architect Clive Wilkinson’s private residence reflects his rare talent to merge structure and nature in perfect harmony,” says agent Wendy Gladson. “Screened from the street by a dense olive grove, the light-dappled environment feels removed from the surrounding neighborhood. As you enter the house through an over-sized glass door you view the entirety of the property, replete with a 48-foot saltwater swimming pool, a doubleheight dining-area-kitchen set on a tiered platform — beyond lies an ultra-secluded master suite with a private courtyard. Up the staircase you find the open flexible office or studio space, another bedroom and bath, a balcony with views to the Hollywood Hills, and a guest bedroom overlooking the pool. There is an understated glamour to the Norwich Drive residence set against a backdrop of honest, natural materials — the quintessential California dream home, shaped by a modern master.”

A Day of Old Fashioned Fun Vintage yachts and classic cars take Burton Chace Park back in time By Christina Campodonico Marina del Rey may now be in the heart of tech-savvy Silicon Beach, but on Sunday the Classic Yacht Association is taking it back to a simpler time — when cars still required human drivers and boats were made out of wood. The association’s 40th annual Old Fashioned Day in the Park brings more than 50 classic boats and cars to Burton Chace Park for a day of good ole-time fun. The free community festival lets visitors explore vintage wooden yachts dating back to the 1920s and beautifully restored autos that run the gamut from antique Model As to classic T-Birds. The Los Angeles Art Deco Society also makes a special appearance this year, joining the affair in period costume. Classic Yacht Association event chair Christine Rohde says Old Fashioned Day in the Park is an opportunity to go back in time and take a closer look at the artisanal styles that defined the first half of the 20th century. “Part of the fun is stepping into a different point in history. … It’s one of our joys every year to be able to open the boats up and have people walk through and see how things were made when everything wasn’t plastic — beautiful woodwork and varnish,” says Rohde. “It really does give you an appreciation for the way that things used to be made.” Rohde points to the interiors of the Ono, a 1929 Dawn cruiser, as a prime example of the kind of craftsmanship that’ll be on display during Old Fashioned Day. “It’s like you’re in a little Victorian parlor,” she says. “The little laced curtains and the brocade fabric and the stained glass and beveled glass cabinetry. It’s just magical.” Additional watercraft on display include a 47-foot Stephen Brothers-built yacht from 1929, Rohde’s own 1950 Chris Craft Catalina (“Sparkle”), and the “Lady Isabelle,” one of the “Little Ships of Dunkirk” that assisted British troupes

We cover the 15 square miles that matter most to your customers.

One of the stars of Old Fashioned Day in the Park is this elegant wooden yacht built in 1929

“It’s one of our joys every year to be able to open the boats up and have people walk through and see how things were made when everything wasn’t plastic — beautiful woodwork and varnish.” Christine Rohde evacuating Allies from the beaches of France during World War II’s Operation Dynamo. All have been fully restored to showcase and preserve

their vintage beauty. “We feel as if we’re custodians of the boats, not so much owners,” says Rohde, who hopes that inviting the public

onboard some of the marina’s finest and oldest vessels will encourage visitors from all over L.A. to embrace the marina’s boating culture and history. “We want them to see how beautiful the boats are,” says Rohde. “Getting people out on the water is a very special thing.” Old Fashioned Day in the Park runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 24, at Burton Chace Park, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey. Free. Visit classicyacht.org for more information.

Stray It Forward I’m a single guy who started a “friends with benefits” thing two months ago with an unhappily married female co-worker. We’ve since developed feelings for each other and started talking about a future. I’m worried because people always say, “If she cheated with you, she’ll cheat on you.” And because she’s unhappy with her husband, does that mean she’ll eventually be unhappy with me and see it as reason to cheat? — Hesitant

Marina de l Rey

infidelity researcher Shirley Glass found that even people in happy, loving marriages can end up cheating. They do this for a variety of reasons: more sex, better sex, different sex (men especially go for variety), or sometimes just because “she isn’t badlooking and there’s an empty office with a big couch two doors down.” As for whether this woman would cheat on you, that depends on whether she’s the sort of person who cheats. And no, that isn’t as idiotic as it sounds. Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and Todd Shackelford found that there are personality traits common to people susceptible to cheating. One of the strongest predictors is “narcissism” — a personality trait marked by self-importance, self-absorption, a profound sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy. Another big predictor is “low conscientiousness,” reflected in unreliability, disorganization, laziness and a lack of selfcontrol. And finally, there’s the unfortunately Norman

Batesy-sounding “high psychoticism” — researcher-ese for a mix of aggressiveness, impulsivity and an inability to delay gratification. Sound like anybody you’ve met in the janitor’s closet recently? Even if this woman checks out personalitywise, you’ll have a much clearer picture of what’s possible after she gets divorced. That is, if she gets divorced — if this thing with you doesn’t turn out to be “affair-apy” (a little sexual tideme-over until she can patch things up with her husband). Regardless, you should take the time — a year or more — to parse who she really is and whether she and her husband are simply two (irreconcilably) different people or whether he just watches a wee bit too much ESPN when he comes home. If you’re lucky, you’ll find these things out from her, and not in some awkward moment at the end of the workday when you finally get a chance to, uh, chat with her husband — through the windshield as you’re clinging to the hood of his moving car.

Tender Bender

I’m a woman who’s been married for a year to a great guy. The problem is that he’s too gentle when he touches or kisses me, and I’m starting to get really frustrated in bed. I know I should have let him know what I really like a long time ago. How can I do this now without hurting his feelings? — Embarrassed It’s hot to have a husband who’s kind of an animal in bed — except if that animal is Hello Kitty. Words, who needs ‘em? Maybe you figured he’d get the hint from your body language; maybe because you’re pretty sure you would have if the tables were turned. Well, research by social

psychologist Judith A. Hall finds that women are far better at spotting and decoding nonverbal messages (in facial expressions and body language). This makes evolutionary sense, considering a mother’s need to suss out what’s wrong with her 6-month-old (who is unable both to speak and to get on the internet at 3 a.m. to self-diagnose his diaper rash as a brain tumor). Still, you don’t have to give him a poor performance evaluation (ouch!) or go into sex ed lecturer-like detail. Instead, take the Gene Hackman approach. Hackman reportedly informs movie directors that the only directions he’ll take are “louder, softer, faster, slower.” (You

might want to supplement those with “harder” and “rougher.”) To encourage greater openness, ask him what his sexual fantasies are (which should lead to the question, “Well, what are yours?”) — and do your best to deliver on any that don’t involve illegal acts with livestock. You might also watch movies together with sex scenes that are more “G.I. Jane” than Jane Austen — like the 2005 movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Then, when you’re in bed, suggest “Mr. & Mrs. Smith-style,” and he should get what you mean. Before long, when you tell your friends that sex with your husband is “dreamy,” it won’t be because you usually doze off during it.
