L e t t e r s EDITOR’S NOTE: The Argonaut congratulates contributing writer Shanee Edwards on being one of five winners of The Next MacGyver screenwriting competition, a contest hosted in July by “MacGyver” creator Lee Zlotoff, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, the National Academy of Engineering and The Paley Center for Media. Shanee’s TV pilot concept, “Ada and the Machine,” is about a young mathematician working to build a steam-powered computer in the 1830s. Shanee will be

fact and it is important that the public not be left with the impression that claims made in the letter are true. First, there is the claim that the Ballona Wetlands restoration project “would destroy hundreds Letter Misrepresented Ballona of acres of native plants and Restoration Plans animals” including “wild, rare and Re: “The Elephant in Ballona,” imperiled species.” Only certain letters, July 23 areas, like the dunes and parts of The letter that followed Joe Area B that are still functioning as Donnelly’s story about Judith tidal salt marsh (approximately 30 Lewis Mernit and the Ballona acres), are home to most of these, Wetlands (“Into the Wild,” July 9) according to the Bay Foundation’s requires a response because it baseline reports, available online. contains many misstatements of Non-native vegetation and
wildlife dominate upland habitats. Until the EIR/EIS becomes available for scrutiny, any statement about the restoration’s effects on these species, if any, is pure speculation. Second, “[There are] numerous parts of the 640 acres at Ballona that are already in ‘its natural state.’” Considering the insults mankind has imposed on the wetlands, the term “natural state” covers very little. Yes, some areas are still functioning ecologically, such as the tidal salt marsh and the dunes. Unfortunately, these areas total some 30 acres, not 640.

Third, “Historical meandering sloughs will be excavated and destroyed including [remnants of] Centinela Creek, and the salt panne [will be] obliterated.” This statement is flat-out false. None of the alternatives are even considering obliterating the salt panne or destroying the drainage runoff “creek” that the letter writer calls Centinela. In fact, the value of the salt panne is freely acknowledged and is one of the reasons that habitat type is being preserved and enhanced in each of the alternatives.

Tens of thousands of travelers on two wheels took over stretches of Washington and Venice boulevards from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday for CicLAvia: Culver City Meets Venice. It was the quarterly car-free festival’s first return to the Westside since May of 2013, when a downtown-to-Venice route drew a record 150,000 people. An official crowd estimate for Sunday is pending analysis by the researchers with the RAND Corp. and UCLA, but “this may be our best attended CicLAvia since the last Westside event,” said CicLAvia spokesman Rob Gard. Concurrently celebrating its 9th anniversary, the Mar Vista Farmers Market anchored the central hub of the six-mile route — a pedestriansonly section that included temporary parklet and street furniture resembling permanent upgrades planned for Venice Boulevard as part of the city’s Great Streets Initiative. Restaurants and bars along the route were packed throughout the day. Venice High School hosted a food truck gathering, and bicyclists who reached the route’s end at Windward and Pacific were greeted with an outdoor dance party. — Joe Piasecki

Poisonous Rattlesnake Slithers through Marina del Rey L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept.
A nearly five-foot rattlesnake caused a standoff with nature at the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station parking lot A nearly five-foot long poisonous rattlesnake slithered its way up to the front doorstep of the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station on Fiji Way at about 4 p.m. on July 31, prompting a chase as the snake approached bicyclists traveling the nearby bike path. Deputies contacted county Animal Control officers, who killed the snake after failed attempts to capture it. Animal Control officers on the scene told deputies the snake carried enough venom in its fangs that it could have killed several adults, said Dep. Amber Smith. The rattlesnake’s origins remain unknown, but environmentalists have spotted others of its kind in the part of the Ballona Wetlands south of the Sheriff’s station. Former Friends of the Ballona Wet-
lands Executive Director David Kay wrote in a March 5 blog post that he saw a baby rattlesnake during a wetlands cleanup organized by the state officials. Karina Johnston, director of watershed programs for the Bay Foundation at Loyola Marymount University, also confirmed it was a rattlesnake. Several rattlesnakes have been seen in and around the south Ballona Creek levee, said Johnston, a restoration biologist. “But I really couldn’t say anything about the actual population of them locally,” she said. “It is likely that there are at least several individuals in the area, and they are expected to be more active in the warmer, summer months.” — Gary Walker
DUI Suspected after SUV Slams into Playa Vista-area Gym

Investigators scan the damage at Evolution Fitness Center An SUV heading northbound along South Centinela Avenue on the outskirts of Playa Vista crashed through the front of Evolution Fitness on Monday night after striking another vehicle. The gym was closed at the time and Los Angeles police arrested the SUV’s driver on suspicion of driving under the influence, said Sgt. Cynthia Barlow of the LAPD’s West Traffic Bureau. The crash occurred at about 10 p.m. after the SUV struck another vehicle during an attempt to change lanes, Barlow said. The SUV took out a wall and destroyed several exercise bikes inside
the gym, located near the terminus of Bluff Creek Drive at 6826 S. Centinela Ave. in what’s technically Culver City. Del Rey resident Shannon Rose was at the nearby Chevron gas station when the crash occurred and said he heard the initial impact of the SUV colliding with the other vehicle, which he described as a Chevy Tahoe, before it crashed into Evolution Fitness. “People often driver really fast on that part of Centinela, especially late at night,” Rose said. “Just an hour before [the accident] people were exercising in there.” — Gary Walker

Water, Water Everywhere … Desalination isn’t the simple drought solution it might appear to be By Paul M.J. Suchecki In the middle of an historic drought, one can’t help but notice there’s more water due west of Los Angeles than anyone could dream to drain. For the foreseeable future, however, we may be able to boat and swim to our hearts’ content, but we’ll hardly be able to drink a drop of it. Without the water imported from increasingly dry Northern California and the Colorado River, L.A.’s regional drinking water resources could only sustain a population of about 500,000 people, according to the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power. “We have a huge reliance on imported water. The L.A. Aqueduct is probably going to have another record close to low year,” Marty Adams, senior assistant general manager of the LADWP’s Water System, said during a conversation in early summer. Despite a few big summer storms, things haven’t gotten much better since. The good news is that LADWP customers have been conserving water —we used 20.9% less water in December 2014 than that month the previous year, for example — but population growth is expected to erode any such gains. The Public Policy Institute of California projects that by 2050, California’s population could reach 50 million. So if we aren’t able to conserve our way out of the drought, how can we produce more water? In recent decades, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other places with low stores of fresh water have increasingly relied on desalination — the production of freshwater from saltwater. Earlier this year, the Orange County Water District entered negotiations for all of the 50 million gallons per day of fresh water to be produced by a Huntington Beach desalination plant that could be online by 2018. In Carlsbad, a desalination plant currently under construction is expected to provide San Diego County with a similar amount of water as early as next year. By contrast, the only desalination plant in Los Angeles County, located on Catalina Island, produces a paltry 200,000 gallons of drinking water per day. A decade ago, LADWP announced plans for a desalination plant that also had a potential

What happened to it? “We’re not pursuing,” Adams

said. “It’s not the best choice for us in L.A. right now.” Several factors went into that decision, he explained. Desalination works by forcing seawater through semi-permeable high-tech polymer membranes that hold back salt, miner-
al, organic and biological compounds, including viruses and bacteria, while letting freshwater through. It’s a process called reverse osmosis and is used in 15,000 desalination plants in 120 countries worldwide as well as
every cruise ship that plies the seas. It takes about two gallons of salt water to produce a gallon of fresh. Seawater gets pushed through at 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per square inch. “It’s a very energy intensive process,” Adams said, “which makes it expensive.” Water from the Carlsbad plant will cost $2,257 per acre-foot, about double the cost of the San Diego Water Authority’s most expensive supply. Although the Carlsbad plant would only provide 7% of the county’s water needs, the extra cost is projected to raise home water bills by $5 to $7 a month, according to the authority. There are also major environmental impacts from desalination. Intake tubes suck up not just seawater but plankton, larvae and fish eggs, degrading the marine environment. The waste water has to be disposed, usually right back into the sea. The high concentration of salts and dissolved solids in the brine can have an adverse impact on sea life. Near Scattergood, desalination waste water was to be mixed with the outfall from the Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant next door. A detailed study of the project for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography concluded that at full capacity, one of the Hyperion outfalls would present a hazard to marine life 100% of the time — the emergency outfall pipe that runs a mile into Santa Monica Bay. The outfall at 1,200 feet offshore would “exceed the marine biology tolerance threshold” 18% of the time. Discharge from the pipe at five miles out would be sufficiently diluted to present no risks to sea creatures. Still, brine is heavier than seawater. Without wave action to break it up, it tends to spread along the sea bottom. “We have so many projects that will deliver water at a lower cost to the customer that we’ll pursue those projects first. If we can’t make recycled water work, than de-sal is the way to go.” Adams said. Recycled water is not going directly from toilet to tap. At the Groundwater Replenishment System in Orange County, water is purified in several stages. The waste water is first pumped into holding basins filled with 270 million micro-filters then forced under high pressure through (Continued on page 35)

La Vida SoCal
Hoses for Hasselhoffs So what if the lifeguard in that brawl on the Venice Pier had dumped water on his attackers — more power to him By Tony Peyser Has society really come to this? On July 31, two men and a woman got into a pretty brutal fistfight with a county lifeguard at the Venice Pier. The first video of the incident to emerge — is anything not recorded by someone’s phone camera these days? — shows the lifeguard hopping down from his 12-foot tower on the pier and instantly getting pummeled by two decent-sized dudes. A credit to his calling, the lifeguard fought back admirably. Luckily, he also got some help from a bystander. There might be an aspect of cynical black humor somewhere in the idea of a person in the highly regarded profession of saving lives getting cold-cocked like that, but not for me. The footage is pretty ugly. Think “Cops” meets “Baywatch.” These men and women are supposed to look great and act cool as they keep us safe, not worry if some grudge-filled sun worshippers want a piece of them. That’s as wrong as killing a mockingbird … or suckerpunching David Hasselhoff. In subsequent reports, however, it seems that the aggressive beachgoers may have been provoked. Or, in legal parlance, “He started it!” The fight apparently began after the lifeguard asked one of his soon-to-be assailants to put out a lit cigarette, as smoking is banned on the pier. Initial reports suggested that one in the group flicked the lit butt at the lifeguard, though a lifeguard captain told The Argonaut a day after the incident that he couldn’t confirm that. Days later, a second video emerged that reveals more of what happened before fists started flying. First released by the Los Angeles Times, that video shows an inaudible exchange of words before one of the beachgoers tries to climb up to the lifeguard tower but is restrained by a pal on the ground. More words were exchanged, and then the lifeguard dumps a bucket of water on two of them moments before heading down the ladder. The next thought on my mind is, of course, Enron — the Texas-based energy giant that

$ 95 Eyewitness video recorded the lifeguard pouring water on his soon-to-be assailants after one attempted to climb up to his tower went belly up in 2004. I remember feeling a sense of relief when that sordid saga was over until I heard a TV reporter wonder aloud, “What company will be the next Enron?” I was suddenly not feeling so relieved and later realized this was the moment that set the country towards the 2008 financial collapse. Bearing that in mind, what other professions are now threatened by the kind of hooliganism we saw on the Venice Pier? For openers, docents. You know, those art brainiacs who volunteer to give tours at museums. I see the story now: “Today at LACMA, a docent giving a tour of the museum’s 20th-century art collection was put into a headlock by a museumgoer who resented there not being a greater representation of abstract painters. Security guards intervened and the assailant was dragged out shouting, ‘I like the Ashcan School as much as the next guy, but c’mon! A little goes a long way!”’ The next newly risky profession would probably be librarians: “At the Santa Monica Public Library on Pico Boulevard, a shoving match broke out when a librarian told a man he had to pay a late fee for a book he had checked out months earlier. Onlookers were slow to intervene because the librarian — in keeping with the protocols
of her profession — whispered for help, which initially delayed assistance from arriving.” Enough kidding around, though. The serious question is: Did the lifeguard provoke this violent incident by hurling water at the people in question? The answer: Yes … and no. Yes, because this kind of behavior clearly falls outside traditional methods of what’s generally known as “dealing with the public.” I figure just about anybody in a serviceoriented job has wanted to do something like this at one point or another, but that’s how you get your ass kicked. No, because when you consider the troublemakers’ thuggish behavior captured on video before and after the dousing, they didn’t deserve any better. These hotheads clearly needed to cool off. Personally, I’m sorry this lifeguard didn’t have access to a high-power fire hose. Yeah, I know, we’re in the middle of an historic drought, but a knuckle-dragger selfish enough to distract a lifeguard from guarding lives over some dumb personal beef deserves a sobering douse of cold water to the face. If anyone wants to start a Kickstarter campaign to equip county lifeguard towers with hoses, I’m in.

The Shrouds of Hiroshima The ghosts of those killed 70 years ago by the first atomic bomb speak through their garments By Kelly Hayes-Raitt “It’s as if the clothes say, ‘See the radiation in my body,’” Michel Aguilera says about the subjects of his most recent photographic project. He spent a month at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum photographing the ragged, stained remnants of what Hiroshima’s sons, daughters, mothers and fathers wore when they perished from the atomic bomb 70 years ago this month. I met the French photographer last week in Hiroshima as he hung his work for a gallery exhibit to coincide with the citywide commemoration of the bombing. Aguilera points to an image of a dress with red bleeding up from the hem. He recounts that the dress is red, but when he photographed it using a unique process called calotype, the radiated area lost its vibrant color. “Calotypes are all about light,” explains Santa Monica art collector Jay McDonald, who recently turned over his extensive collection of rare calotype negatives to The J. Paul Getty Museum. The oldest form of photography, developed in 1840, calotypes were made by using a large, wooden box camera to develop sepia-toned negatives. “They’re about how light hits objects and how objects reflect light. Calotypes are more concerned with [the object’s] shape [than with the object itself]. There’s an abstraction. [They’re] more involved with the tonality, [so] the coloring is totally different,” McDonald elaborates. “It’s a very labor-intense process,” continues McDonald. “It’s a labor of love. It’s not like you can take a burst and pick your favorite. You have to think about every picture. It changes the way people look at their work.” Aguilera shot his calotypes in color, giving these haunting images the patina of a painting. Each photo took him half a day to shoot with the large, boxy device. “[The] slow pace … inspires a certain
Michel Aguilera used calotype photography to immortalize the clothes worn by civilians who died during the bombing of Hiroshima respect and reverence,” Aguilera writes in his exhibit’s accompanying book, “Vêtements de Hiroshima.”
The 30 images of the disembodied shrouds floating on white backgrounds create a surprising universality. Although
Each pair of pants, each work uniform, each school dress could be anyone’s — my dad’s, my aunt’s, my sister’s, or mine — giving the historical clothing a contemporary immediacy. Before undertaking this project, Aguilera had been photographing clothes for a broader series that included garments discarded by gypsies. When the Parisian traveled to Hiroshima in 2005 and saw the artifacts in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, he was struck. “I had to photograph them,” he said, his eyes darkening.
deeply personal and intimate, each pair of pants, each work uniform, each school dress could be anyone’s — my dad’s, my aunt’s, my sister’s, or mine — giving the historical garments a contemporary immediacy. Each image is accompanied by a description of the clothing’s owner that was researched by the Hiroshima museum.

If you have NOT had prior bariatric surgery and are considering Lap-Band surgery as a weight-loss option you may be eligible to participate in a research study. Dr. Carson Liu in Santa Monica is an investigator in a 10-year observational study on the performance of the LapBand for reducing weight. ContaCt 310-208-0474 to schedule an initial appointment to discuss if Lap-Band surgery is the right option for you. The research study will be discussed with all potential participants.

For example: “School uniform jacket, exposed at 18 feet from the hypocenter — “Tatsuya, a 14-year-old schoolboy, was standing in the playground when the bomb exploded. His whole body was burnt; he helplessly tried to escape by the wrecked road, but collapsed halfway [home]…” Aguilera’s artistry is evident not only in his technical photography skills, but also in the way he displays each article, unveiling an unexpected meaning. The rips in a pair of dark pants reveal an outlined crucifix in the inseam, the blood stains on a school uniform saturate a student’s name tag which, like all children’s uniforms, listed his blood type along with the name of his school. “It’s like there’s a message in the clothes,” Aguilera says, his gaze focused on his image of the ripped pants. As one who has told and retold war victims’ stories, I recognized his fatigue in living with others’ pain and his conflicting inability to let that pain go. I was most struck by the image of a super-saturated purple dress. The accompanying narrative described a 23-year-old woman, Setsuko, who crawled her way out of her destroyed office building and made her way to her uncle’s home. Three days later, her mother finally found her. But Setsuko’s body was so hot, her mother was unable to hold her as she died 12 days after the blast. Setsuko had made the dress she wore to work that day. Aguilera “posed” the dress with its skirt swinging. “I like to imagine [that] her last moments were dancing,” Aguilera says, smiling wistfully and almost believing himself.

The Short Goodbye
Venice loses a piece of itself with the eviction of artist William Attaway Story by Joe Piasecki Photos by Ted Soqui William Attaway built this studio with his own two hands, a labor of love that has spanned 35 years. A letter that arrived six months ago is about to take it all away. Once a roughhewn pocket of creativity in an industrial stretch of The Ghetto by the Sea, Attaway’s painting and ceramics studio at 334 Sunset Ave. is now prime property — and the future home of more tech-industry office space. The adjacent intersection of Sunset and Third avenues reads like an abbreviated version of the Venice real estate Monopoly board. Two doors down on Sunset, nine-month-old Gjusta (which hired
“I tell you, man, if I didn’t have this studio I don’t know what I would be. I think everybody should have the space around them to create, whether it’s physical space or inspirational space,” he says. “I think that’s what Venice is all about.” Attaway, who lives nearby with his wife and four of his children, will say goodbye to his studio on Sunday with a public art party to celebrate a new series of mixedmedia and ceramic pieces created in reaction to that eviction notice. For these dark hours he chose an unlikely theme: Light. *** “When the letter finally hit me, I started working. It snapped me out of every funk
“I tell you, man, if I didn’t have this studio I don’t know what I would be. I think everybody should have the space around them to create, whether it’s physical space or inspirational space. I think that’s what Venice is all about.” — William Attaway Attaway to sculpt its coffee cups) has turned a derelict warehouse into a destination restaurant. Up and down Third, dozens of homeless people spend their nights on the pavement behind mighty Gold’s Gym and Frank Gehry’s “binoculars building,” the local headquarters for Google. A taste of the promise and hardships of Old Venice remain, but this isn’t the same place where 17-year-old Attaway dropped out of University High School to embark on an art career in 1980. “When I got here I paid $100 a month for a small space. It was me and a bunch of old ladies, and they hated me because I played Bob Marley and Van Halen all the time,” Attaway says. After the last of his colleagues chose to relocate, Attaway laid pipe, poured concrete and installed pottery equipment to craft an indoor/outdoor creative space of his own.

and thought pattern that wasn’t dealing with what I had to do,” Attaway says. “I’ve created more work than I ever had [over any six-month span]. What came out of me was light.” His optimism came with some encouragement. It wasn’t long after the eviction notice arrived that Attaway met Leslie Heinze. Heinze is an art promoter whose mission statement is to preserve Venice’s storied visual arts tradition within a landscape increasingly dominated by high-rolling tech firms attracted to the area by a more bohemian culture that gentrification now threatens. These are the ideal customers, Heinze says, to keep Venice artists in business. “If these companies are thriving, there’s no reason art can’t thrive too,” she says. “It’s a matter of thinking creatively and intelligently about how

we can hone-in these relationships and make it work in a business sense.” Heinze and business partner Jeremy Ryan, a software designer and art importer, call their enterprise Everything Changes. Everything Changes launched 14 months ago with a pop-up exhibit on Washington Boulevard. Since then, Heinze and Ryan have tested their art-meets-tech networking model through an art party at online sales platform operators StackCommerce that kicked off a long-term art lease agreement. They’ve also found more permanent gallery walls at the Ocean Park offices of Dogtown Realty and have signed several artists, included Isabel Alfred-Lago — a standout among Venice’s new guard whose purple gorilla murals populate Venice interior and exterior walls. Heinze has been pushing Attaway hard to prep for Sunday’s public exhibit of his
“Light” series as well as an earlier private gathering of handpicked tech executives and other local business leaders who may be able to display some of his work. Gjusta, South End Pizza and other businesses are helping the first effort; Venice Ale House and Pizza of Venice are coming through for Sunday’s public event. *** In addition to community support, Attaway has other reasons to be optimistic: A local coffee shop is ordering more handmade dishware. He’s started talking with a local architecture firm about installing a large outdoor work of public art on the site of his soon-to-be-former studio. He’s also pursuing concepts for erecting a 30’-by-20’ art wall outside the former Venice Post Office at Windward Circle. Attaway, 51, takes a balanced view of the economic forces at play around him. “Artists, designers, thinkers and tinkerers
— what they’re doing is the same thing painters have done, but they’re not working with the physical, their working with the ethereal. Once we get on the same page we can have a little of this and a little of that, a table that’s set, a full meal,” he says. “Every person who’s ever moved here from somewhere else has gentrified this place in some way,” he continues. “I can blame myself. The minute I re-did the Venice boardwalk with my 25-foot sculpture and the mosaics, that was the beginning of the end of what we know was, but the beauty of that is everything changes. That’s where my ideas and Leslie’s linked up.” After winning an MTA contract to design public art for the Pomona Metrolink Station and collaborating with Venice Arts Mecca (now the nonprofit Venice Arts) to run weekend youth art classes at his studio, Attaway left a permanent stamp on
Venice in 1999 with the creation of his ceramic “Dream Come True” beach sculpture and the mosaic walls near the LAPD’s Venice Beach substation. He credits L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin, then working for Bill Rosendahl, with helping him through the public art process. Other Attaway projects have included art installations for a United Nations sustainability conference, set design work for the 2004 NAACP image awards, interior artwork for a Herbie Hancock record and a large art installation at Clear Channel’s Los Angeles headquarters. *** Attaway traces his success to parental support and free time spent in and around the now-defunct Marina del Rey Skate Park, where he made a friend who had a job at a local pottery studio.

Ringo’s Shadow Rock photographer Rob Shanahan shoots for the stars in Marina del Rey Last Thursday, Shanahan celebrated his first Westside art opening at the Q Art Gallery in Marina del Rey, where his photographs remain on display through the end of the month. The exhibit includes images of Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Mick Fleetwood, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Paul McCartney and, of course, Ringo Starr. — Joe Piasecki What’s it like to work with Ringo? I think what happens with a lot of people is they’re just pretty blown away by meeting a Beatle, but when you get down to the fact that he’s a drummer just like me — and drummers have a unique bond — I can consider him a friend. I’ve gotten past the whole Beatle thing, which is what he wants. His circle, we know him as Ringo the drummer, friend, husband, father. What’s the story behind the shot of Paul leaning in to kiss Ringo? That was back in 2009, when they released [the music video game] “The Beatles: Rock Band.” Apple called to have me shoot Paul and Ringo together for the promo. But that shot wasn’t in the promo… It was not. I shot the two of them together on a white background with studio lights. We set it up at the Galen Center at USC, and that was the first frame of the shoot. I loved it so much I kept it for myself.

By Joe Piasecki Rock ’n’ roll dreams can come true. Just ask Rob Shanahan. In 1988, Shanahan arrived in Venice with a camera and a drum kit. “I grew up in a small town in Minnesota and had dreams of working in the music industry,” he says. “After college, I drove to L.A. in a van and decided I’d make it either drumming or shooting, and I’m still doing both.” And doing better than he ever expected. In 2001, Shanahan became former Beatle Ringo Starr’s personal photographer, allowing him to follow the rock icon on tour and into the studio. Shanahan also works as an in-house photographer for Yamaha Music and still wield his sticks as drummer for The Rolling Stones tribute band The Hollywood Stones. How did he make it? Like Ringo sang as Billy Shears on “Sgt. Pepper’s,” he got by with a little help from his friends. One of Shanahan’s first new friends in L.A. was fellow drummer Scott Crago. At the time, Crago was helping the Pine Mountain Logs, the classic-rock side project of the storied local band Venice, hold down a Sunday night residency at the Venice Bistro. Crago needed a headshot for his cymbal company. The company liked the work and set Shanahan up on shoots with Stuart Copeland, McCartney drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., Alex Van Halen and eventually Sheila E. Shanahan’s work came to Ringo’s attention when Sheila E. went on tour with the All Starr Band. He got the call to work with Ringo about a week later. Shanahan, 51, still lives in Venice and maintains a photo studio on Main Street. In 2012 he discovered a different kind of life on the road — the book tour — with his collection of rock photography titled “Volume 1.”

How do you turn commercial photography into art? Well, hopefully I get hired for that very reason. I try to feel how much the artist is going to give and put my little stamp on it. I have certain things that I’ll say to an artist, and if they get my sense of humor and I get a reaction, that’s usually my favorite from the shoot. I’ve photographed Charlie Watts a handful of times through the years. The first time was in 2006 when the Rolling Stones were in town. I called up Ringo and said, “Man, the Stones are in town. Charlie is here. When’s the last time you guys saw each other?” … We spent a really awesome afternoon together at Ringo’s house, and Charlie loved the photos so much he called to thank me and said, “Rob, you made me look like a movie star.” On the next Stones tour, I did a photoshoot with Charlie and his old ’58 Gretsch drum kit. As I’m getting ready to shoot, I say, “Charlie, you look like a movie star!” He burst into this big smile and I knew I had it in the can with that one shot.

Locanda del Lago
231 Arizona Ave., Santa Monica (310) 451-3525 lagosantamonica.com Read any cookbook from a century ago and you’ll find tasks that are alien to modern kitchens. “The Settlement Cookbook” of 1901 included information on how to pluck a chicken, skin a squirrel and remove buckshot from a deer. Once you had accomplished such tasks, the book would go on to explain how to make use of every part of the beast, whatever it was — tripe, necks and stomachs went into sausages, chicken feet and rooster’s combs into soup, fish heads and bones boiled down for soup stock. Present-day Americans often assume that these recipes were included because people were poor and had to get all the nutrition they could. Such thinking ignores fundamental changes in our tastes and attitudes. For one, organ meats used to be extremely popular in America. The 1941 menu from Perino’s, one of the fanciest restaurants in Los Angeles, included calf’s brains, liver and kidney — none of which have
been in high demand lately. Other cuts of meat tough enough that they are now usually used for pet food were popular because they added flavor to soups and stews and can be tastier than steaks when properly cooked. Your grandmother knew how to use those cuts, the kitchen staff at Perino’s knew how to use them, and so does Gianfranco Minuz,
of his native region near Venice (not the one just down the road). Minuz ran a Michelin-starred restaurant in Vicenza before coming to California, and when I spoke with him he was planning a dinner using various cuts of bison. Though that animal is native to the Americas, his experience in Italy gave him ideas about what to do.
I TA L I A N R E S TA U R A N T
“If you are going to eat meat you should investigate the whole animal. Waste nothing, from the nose to the tail.”
MORE THAN JUST GOOD PIZZA!
— chef Gianfranco Minuz chef at Locanda del Lago in Santa Monica. Minuz had heard the idea that organ meats were eaten mainly by thrifty people, which he finds slightly ridiculous. “These meats from inside the animal were not just eaten by poor people. Look at how foie gras, which is liver, is very expensive. Duck liver, used to make pâté rich and creamy, is another example. In Italy we ate the liver, kidney, everything, and we know traditional recipes to make them all delicious,” he said. For the past three years, Minuz has been hosting special dinners at Locanda del Lago that feature exotic cuts of meat and fish, many of which are based on the cooking
“In Italy we have buffalo related to African and Asian breeds, and we use their milk to make mozzarella. That buffalo is more tough, American bison is more tender, and both are more sweet and lean than cow,” he said. “We start dinner with carpaccio, the raw meat from the tenderloin, which has a completely different flavor from the cooked meat. Then we make pastas like tortellini or ravioli out of the belly, lasagna out of the shoulder and neck, a steak from the ribeye.” Minuz has so much enthusiasm for these cuts of meat that it (Continued on page 20)

seemed natural to ask why he thought Americans moved away from eating them. “Most people prefer the steak because they know the steak, they grew up eating it, and it is fast and easy to cook. The rest of the Achieve animal offers cuts that are more Balanced Health tasty — the shoulder, leg and Now! shank — but they have to be cooked for a long time,” he said. “Americans are discovering these 310.827.3200 things and attitudes are changing. (Lincoln at Maxella) Nobody used to want lamb shank, www.RelaxHolistic.com as an example. Americans are used to lamb shank now, but not the cheek, and that is unfortunate — it is my favorite cut of lamb. That is also true of the cow and the pig.

Chef Gianfranco Minuz relies on locally sourced vegetables for his monthly Morso della Bestia meals “Sometimes I’m matching wines with things that most sommeliers have never heard of. I try the meat the way the chef intends to serve it and 90% of the time I can ace the pairing in my head — I taste it and know what in our stock is going to work. The other 10% is interesting. Sometimes I have to hit the books to see what is traditional and then taste a few wines with it to see how they work. There’s a set of classic rules for pairing French and Italian cuisines, and sometimes I have to go beyond them,” Matlock said. Minuz is breaking ground, too, because the ideas in these meals are not purely from his home region, or even his home country. “I try to pull together Italian tradition and the recipes of my family, but also American ideas. This is an Italian restaurant in America, not Italy, so I am thinking about what my American customers will like. I am using vegetables from the farmers market that might not be in Italian traditions but match my food and their preferences,” he said. Minuz also sees these dinners as part entertainment and part education, and he was thoughtful
when asked whether he thinks his customers will change their pattern of consumption at home after attending. “It is hard for me to tell because I don’t go home with them, but I hope it will make them excited about cooking different cuts of meat and also trying more of them,” he said. “The materials for the things I am serving are available, and they can experiment and discover for themselves.” Though “Bite of the Beast” sounds meat-centric, Minuz takes the same attitude toward all foods and had encouraging words for those who don’t eat meat at all. “If you want to be a vegetarian it is OK with me, but you should explore everything — try all the plants and all the edible parts of plants, try all the cheeses and things you can. If you are going to eat meat you should investigate the whole animal. Waste nothing, from the nose to the tail. You can eat almost everything, and you will find new things to like.” Morso della Bestia events happen the last Thursday of each month. The Aug. 27 dinner features tuna, Sept. 24 is pig, Oct. 29 is goose and Nov. 26 is turkey.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A
How do Retirees effect real estate? At about the age of 65, most Californians stop working full time and begin capitalizing on the benefits of social security, Medicare and their years of saving. The decision to retire is often swiftly followed by a series of lifestyle changes as retirees take advantage of their newly-increased liberty and accumulated financial power. One of the most significant changes is the sale of the retiree’s current home and the corresponding move to a new, more compact and centralized residence with a better year-round climate or in closer proximity to family. As California’s population continues to age, senior citizens will exert increasing influence over both the housing market and every other aspect of the California economy. California citizens aged 65-75 are more likely to own property than any other age group. The accumulated equity in their homes, combined with their savings from a lifetime’s employment allows them to exert a disproportionately strong influence upon the statewide housing market. The number of people in California aged 65 and older is traditionally made up of the retired and soon-to-be retired. Over the past twenty years, retirees have exerted minimal influence in real estate transactions, as the age group of citizens over 65 was comparatively small. The generations born between 1915 and 1935 – during the Great Depression and World War II – did not have the numbers necessary to remold the housing market in their own image. That is about to change dramatically. The massive Baby Boomer generation is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as the generation born between 1946 and 1964. As they begin to retire en masse (a process which has already started) every aspect of the state’s economy will change. The Boomers,
Over $1 BilliOn sOld and cOunting
the largest single age group in California, have spent the last 30 years accumulating their wealth (primarily in the form of stock – not cash) and generally living in large, suburban single family residences (SFR’s). Although the 2008 Great Recession wiped out some of their savings and put a few of these SFRs on the market (or in foreclosure) before their time, the majority of the Boomers are still on the brink of retirement. When they do retire, “dis-saving” will be a collective act. They will liquidate their stocks, sell their current homes and embark, unfettered, on the next stage of their lives. The impending wave of retirees has been briefly delayed by the 2008 recession. Many seniors held the majority of their wealth in the form of paper – stocks – and saw much of it erased overnight when the stock market crash turned their 401Ks into 101Ks. However, Boomer retirements were merely postponed. Now that the stock market has largely rebounded and home prices have risen (however momentarily), retirees will soon regain their pre-recession confidence and perhaps some of their spending habits. The shadow inventory of retiree homes for sale will thus manifest itself sooner rather than later. Retirees generally want to sell and relocate, and most will buy new SFRs; likely more than 70% will acquire a smaller (though not necessarily less expensive) residence than the one they have left.

Say Anything (but please be funny) Mar Vista’s Grand View Market hosts a supportive comedy and music open mic on Wednesday nights Photo by Mia Duncans
Musician Tony Hazel, comedian Kat Radley and comedian Joshua Turea perform sets during a recent Wednesday open mic at Grand View Market By Shanee Edwards Every Wednesday night at about 7 p.m., Grand View Market serves up a side of entertainment to go with its organic produce selection, juice bar, made-toorder deli sandwiches and Area 1 craft beer bar. That’s when the recently renovated neighborhood market and café, a prime example of the vibrant energy taking hold along Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista, turns into a welcoming stage for aspiring comedians and musicians. At the Grand View Market Open Mic Night, hosted by comedians Matthew Curtie and Justin Lentz, anybody — novice or professional — can sign up to do a four-minute comedy set or perform two songs. That keeps things interesting, said Curtie, because you get a good mix of performers from all walks of life. “You get people who you can tell are really trying hard, and it’s really fun to watch and see them slowly getting better as they keep coming back. Same with musicians — randomly you’ll get a good musician in here. It’s one of those situations where you can tell they are going somewhere or they need to be going somewhere,” Curie said. But the opposite can also be true, which is also part of the fun. “Sometimes you get just insane people, either playing weird songs or doing something that doesn’t make sense. Or you get someone who just goes on stage and says the weirdest things for four PAGE 30 THE ARGONAUT august 13, 2015

Fourth, “… dozens of species of special concern thrive [now].” Thrive? More likely, are just barely hanging on in the limited habitat they have. Until we see the EIR/EIS there is no way to determine the extent to which these species will be affected, positively or negatively. I would remind the letter writer that in the past she opposed every improvement at Ballona: the freshwater marsh which is now thriving; the installation of adjustable tide gates allowing more water into Ballona (successfully increasing the endangered Beldings Savannah sparrow population for the first time); and the Friends’ dune program, which has brought back native species formerly smothered by ice plant (its latest success being the return of the El Segundo blue butterfly). In addition, she opposed the wonderfully successful restoration of the Malibu Lagoon. All of these wrongheaded opinions, some of which even went as far as filing lawsuits, delayed the projects and cost unnecessary dollars. Having participated in the EIR/EIS PAGE 32 THE ARGONAUT august 13, 2015
process in the past, the letter writer is well aware that what eventually emerges may not be what is originally proposed. Making false statements that will only inflame the public and lead to wrong conclusions does a great disservice to the process. I implore everyone who wishes to become involved to respect good science, to refrain from baseless statements, to study the facts, to keep an open mind, and to join in the effort to see that the final restoration plan encourages the best wetland ecosystem possible at Ballona. Ruth Lansford Friends of Ballona Wetlands Board of Directors
FROM THE WEB Re: “Into the Wild,” Sunday Drive with Joe Donnelly, July 9 Nice story. The Ballona Wetlands are truly a remarkable resource. However, there is something of a false narrative that disagreement over what should be done at Ballona is causing the project delays.
Regardless of whether a particular plan is ecologically sound, the management of that plan must also be sound. An overly bureaucratic system in which no one entity seems accountable has taken shape at Ballona over the last 10 years or so, and we’re going to have to change that if we want a successful outcome for current generations of people and wildlife. Walter Lamb Ballona Wetlands Land Trust Re: “The Dwellification of Venice,” opinion, July 23 It’s like watching a wonderfully eccentric and treasured friend die. Every day we see more and more signs that the end is drawing closer. Breaks my heart. There will never be another Venice. Cold minds are taking the place of warm hearts here. Lots of money pouring in but many still are forced to sleep on the streets with little to no assistance. In fact, developers are calling for more and more criminalization of the poor and vulnerable to drive
them out. Property values rule the day. This slash-and-burn gentrification that is creating Silicon Beach in place of our beloved Venice is frankly ugly in every way. Deborah Lashever Re: “7 Scary Places to Ride a Bike,” CicLAvia feature, Aug. 6 Somebody forgot to mention all the pedestrians walking on the bikeway in Venice and Santa Monica. Now that’s a real hazard for both walkers and bikers. We need a new law to keep pedestrians off the bikeway and to make the bikeway wider and possibly one way on two separate paths — one path northbound and one path southbound. It’s far too dangerous the way it is now. John B.

The Other Side of the Border Story
SPARC exhibit explores the emotional and cultural voids that immigration leaves behind By Michael Reyes In the United States, immigration stories are often about the arrival of strangers. On the other side of the border, these tales begin with the notable absence of a neighbor, friend or family member. The personal stories of Oaxacan villagers who have lost physical contact with loved ones to U.S. migration fuel the art of “New Codex: Oaxaca – Immigration and Cultural Memory,” a touring exhibit currently on display at the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) in Venice. The Embroidery Ants of Tanivet — an all-women arts collective based in San Francisco Tanivet, Oaxaca, Mexico — spent more than five years working with recycled materials to create appliqué art pieces that speak to the impact of a husband, child or other family member disappearing from their lives. “There are a lot of mothers who suffer because their children migrate and stay,” said Juana Lemus, a member of The Embroidery Ants of Tanivet. “Many families are left worrying, crying for their children.” The exhibit includes a collection of multicolored fabrics stitched together to

The exhibit has also brought together other families separated by migration. Art has also helped the village of San Francisco Tanivet heal from its losses. Work on the exhibit began in 2010, when Bernstorff arrived in the village to do community development work and employed art as a tool for spiritual recovery and a generator of extra income. Though a traditional art in the region, patchwork was not something the women of the village had practiced until Bernstorff arrived. Instead, they had relied solely on agriculture to survive on an average of 13 American dollars per week. Art, it turned out, has been a more sustainable source of income that has improved quality of life for participating artists. “Now that I’m seeing all this, I can say that art leads us to beautiful things,” Lemus said.
A rural village hit by hard by unemployment and government cutbacks to social safety net programs, San Francisco Tanivet has lost as much as half of its population to U.S. migration. Most of those who’ve left San Francisco Tanivet head to West Los Angeles, which according to the exhibit is home to the largest number Oaxacan-born people outside of Oaxaca itself. “I’ve heard all the stories and knew of all the struggles, but it’s not the same when you meet people who are affected directly — especially mothers,” said visual artist Marietta Bernstorff, who curated the exhibit. “It was important for me to see what would happen if we pushed art to the maximum and made [Lemus into] an artist and helped her arrive to Los Angeles.” What happened was reunification. With the support of the Consulate General of Mexico in Los Angeles, Lemus obtained a visa to travel with the exhibit and visit her son in Los Angeles. Until earlier this year, they hadn’t seen each other face to face in a decade. He was 13 when he left her. “It’s a great surprise,” Lemus said. “I achieved it based on my works, my efforts, to be reunited with my son. It’s been a long time.”

Surf, Sand and Burning Man Venice’s Christopher Hawley plays Mission 24 festival on Saturday, returns to Santa Monica Farmers Market on Sunday By Bliss Bowen When you’re battling crosstown traffic, it’s easy to forget that much of the rest of the world thinks we live charmed lives here. “California Dreaming”-type moments like one Christopher Hawley recently experienced explain why. While waiting out a “lull between sets,” he got to jawboning with a couple of fellow surfers at Paradise Cove — one of whom mentioned that he needed music for his wife’s popular podcast. Hawley memorized the guy’s email before jumping back in the waves, contacted him when he got home, and then finalized a license for his song “Missouri Breaks.” “It was a huge blessing,” he says with a laugh. “Totally unexpected, and the first time I’ve ever done that.” It may have been the first time he’s licensed songs on the beach, but the scenario’s fluid spontaneity is not unusual for Hawley, a guitarist and songwriter who moved to Los Angeles in 2001 from Colorado, where he spent most of the 1990s. He followed studies at UC Boulder by recording and touring with a jam band whose following was large and loyal enough that it still helps him get bookings. “We had a great audience,” he says. “It was around the time that Phish came out and jam bands came out. I’m going to play Colorado in September, and when I called up one of the venues I used to play at, the guy remembered.” Hawley’s familiar to Westside and Central Coast audiences too. He hosts a singer-songwriter night the third Wednesday of each month at O’Brien’s pub in Santa Monica, and whether playing solo or with his band the Christopher Hawley Rollers, he’s a frequent presence on stages at local clubs, farmers markets and festivals like this weekend’s Mission 24, a 24-hour music and arts festival where he’ll be performing Saturday. Not surprisingly for a jam band veteran who claims Duane Allman, Jerry Garcia and Bob Marley as heroes and is fond of

Specifics regarding the location, a West L.A. warehouse, will be announced two days before the event. “It’s a space that used to host all-night electronic music parties,” he explains. “This time it’s gonna be a little more organic, with bands and real instruments, a little more rock ‘n’ roll-oriented. There’ll definitely be a Burning Man art installation. … It’s that whole visual and sensory-overload artistic scene that keeps you up all night because there’s so much going on.” Hawley’s joined buddies at the “city in the desert” before, but says he finds its spirit here at home. “Venice allows me to experience the same things I love about Burning Man without dealing with the heat. Venice has a Burning Man feel. Seeing the same faces around, all the creative stuff on the boardwalk — there’s definitely that element here. “So I don’t have to go to Burning Man,” he says, laughing. “Whenever I get home from Burning Man, I jump straight in the ocean.”
slide breaks, Hawley’s music is characterized by laid-back rhythms and positive messages. Credit for some of that goes to his two other passions: surfing and yoga. “That’s one of the biggest inspirations: my yoga practice and being here, living in this area,” he says. “There are so many amazing teachers and great studios that are opening up all the time. And my day job, especially this time of year, is surf instructor. I do that on the side. … I’ve always taught people different things, whether it’s guitar or I coach soccer too. That’s another kind of day job.” He’s planning to play an acoustic set at Mission 24, possibly with guests sitting in

on keyboard and percussion. Material will come from his sixth album, which he’s currently working on, and 2013’s “Rise and Shine,” which leans more acoustic than his full-band outings. Simple tunes like “At the Farmers Market,” “Tecate on a Hot Day” and “Waiting for the Snow” were originally aimed at the family audience at his Tuesday residency at Basement Tavern. At Mission 24, which aims to join the jam band and Burning Man communities, Hawley will join a parade of local DJs, clowns, aerialists, fire spinners, drummers, face painters and musicians, including Boomz Pharm, Liquorbox, Sheldon &

water seeps through sand and gravel to replenish Orange County aquifers. The plant has been operating since 2008. The city of L.A.’s Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant is using both microfiltration and reverse osmosis for what’s called tertiary treatment, bringing 4.5 million gallons per day up to drinking water standards, although it’s not used directly as potable water. “It’s being used as a seawater barrier to create a fresh water wall to protect the ground water and also to recharge it,” Adams said. “Advanced treatment, what

In the Valley, “We have a recycling project to recharge the groundwater that should be in place in six years,” Adams said. Effluent, he said, is “better quality source water than seawater, which is why it is so much cheaper to treat. Our cost is projected to be $750 to $1,000 an acre foot, competitive with water we’re purchasing now.” Another source of L.A. drinking water

Randy’s Donuts has temporarily changed its iconic sign to promote water conservation is a resource that so far has been squandered. Right now the sewer system is designed to flush rainwater out to sea as
quickly as possible to prevent flooding. It’s a system that worked great for the 20 wet years from 1978 to 1998. The biggest problem is that so much of Los Angeles is paved with asphalt and concrete. “We do have our large spreading grounds which capture water on some of the main storm channels. We’re enlarging those. We’re doing distributed storm water capture, green street installations and medians — places where storm water instead of running off would settle in a swale and percolate into the groundwater,” Adams said. He stressed the need for engaging the public to capture rainwater, using as an example the parking lot of the L.A. Zoo where water runoff is no longer sloughed off but replenishes the aquifer beneath it. “We’re fortunate here that we have a number of resources available to us, but some need cleaning up, some need developing further, and in the meantime we’re just glad that the public is responding to our calls for conservation. Right now we’re using the same amount of water we did in the early 1970s. It will be a few years, but we’ll be building a lot more reliability and local reliance into the equation,” Adams said.

Born in New York City, Attaway was two when his family moved to Barbados and stayed there until he was 13. It was in Barbados that creation became second nature. “Where I grew up, if you needed a toy car you’d take wire and make wheels. There was no toy store. Here and now, everybody’s buying something from somebody else. There’s no creativity. It’s instant gratification,” Attaway says. Attaway’s father, William Alexander Attaway, moved the family to Venice for practical reasons: He wrote Hollywood screenplays and movie music for a living, with some additional songwriting for Harry Belafonte that included “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song).” Attaway’s mother was an artist who did work for Blue Note Records. When Attaway got caught skipping school, she made him put in a full day’s work making art at the kitchen table. “There was always art. Whether we had money or not, I had art supplies,” he recalls. Attaway’s parents initially balked at him ditching high school to produce art full-time, but after a disparaging meeting with the school’s principal the senior Attaway agreed to pay his son’s studio rent if he got his GED. “Once I realized that I could make something from nothing and people would want it, that’s what did it for me,” Attaway says. The next chapter of Attaway’s artistic life — and the fate of other visual artists in the New Venice — may not be easy, but it doesn’t have to be painful, Heinze says. “Human beings have a hard time with change, but that’s how we grow,” she says. “You can take the conversation from negatives to positives without being detached from the reality of what’s happening in Venice.” “There’s so much to see. There’s so much to say. There’s so much to do,” responds Attaway. “I can’t wait.” Attaway he was; Attaway he goes. William Attaway’s final studio party and public unveiling of his “Letting in the Light” series happens from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16, at 334 Sunset Ave., Venice.
