L e t t e r s An Investment in Our Future Re: “No Middle Ground on Venice Median Project,” News, Aug. 3 As a longtime Venice resident, I completely support Venice Community Housing’s plan for the Venice Median project. Low- and middle-income residents have been forced out of our community, and this is a positive step to help preserve the demographic of our neighborhood. This project is only one small step, yet it’s an important one that takes advantage of

Please publish the plans for this enormous, multi-story prison block that would stretch wall-to-wall across the entire open space that currently exists along Venice between Dell and Pacific avenues. And imagine the additional weekend traffic cramming into the already jammed Venice/

How is it possible that this could ever get through the maze of building regulations that L.A. has created to protect against such monstrosities, particularly within the coastal area?

A Growing Concern
Ballona Land Trust tangles with the Bay Foundation over invasive plant removal By Gary Walker A long-running feud over how to eradicate invasive plant species from the Ballona Wetlands went before the California Coastal Commission this month, with the nonprofit Bay Foundation ultimately prevailing in its request to pull weeds from targeted restoration areas on a year-round schedule. The Bay Foundation and volunteers with the nonprofit Friends of Ballona Wetlands removed 15 tons of non-native ice plant between September and November of last year, according to Bay Foundation records. The work came in response to unprecedented growth triggered by drought-busting winter rainfall. Last year biologists covered patches of ice plant with tarps to kill them with the trapped heat of the sun, a process known as solarization that other local wetlands groups have criticized as either too severe or ineffective without immediate re-planting of native species. The Bay Foundation reported a 100% reduction of invasive species where biologists employed both solarization and hand-pulling. But as those efforts continue, the Bay Foundation will only be pulling out plants by hand during the remainder of this year, according to a Coastal Commission report. The Bay Foundation’s request had been challenged by the
Ballona Land Trust, a Playa del Rey advocacy group that has sued the Bay Foundation for records related to its role in the environmental study that will guide the state’s overall restoration efforts in the roughly 600-acre ecological preserve. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the state’s Coastal Conservancy are also
impose an official temporary stay on solarization, and allow the Ballona Land Trust to help. Walter Lamb, president of the Ballona Land Trust, tried to frame the debate as less of a clash between adversaries than a disagreement between allies of the wetlands. “I love the Ballona Wetlands,” he said. “Please don’t look at this
“I love the Ballona Wetlands. Please don’t look at this as usagainst-them.” Walter Lamb, president of the Ballona Land Trust collaborating on that report, which has been delayed more than five years but is due out later this year. The Ballona Land Trust has previously called for greater public transparency in that process and broader collaboration with other wetlands advocates, most of whom have differences of opinions about what the goals and techniques of the state restoration should be. At the Aug. 11 hearing, the Ballona Land Trust unsuccessfully petitioned the Coastal Commission to amend the Bay Foundation’s invasive plant removal permit in several ways to require the public release of planning and monitoring data,

as us-against-them.” A committee that includes Heal the Bay and Los Angeles Waterkeeper offered a written endorsement of the Bay Foundation’s existing methodology as both adaptable and effective in its efforts “to restore ecological balance and functional integrity to a highly degraded portion of the Ballona Wetlands.” Despite the commission’s vote, Lamb later issued a statement saying the group hopes the Bay Foundation’s effort is successful. “Sometimes it feels like Ballona is just a fight,” said Coastal Commission Chairwoman Danya Bochco, “but it seems like everyone is trying to help it, not hurt it.”
11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Westside Home for Sale According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most
cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-368-1988 and enter 3003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Man of Adventure Author and journalist Bruce Russell traveled the world, but he always ended up back in Marina del Rey By Ivor Davis Ivor Davis, author of “The Beatles and Me: On Tour,” was a reporter for the Santa Monica Evening Outlook in the 1960s and a lifelong friend of Bruce Russell. Robert Bruce Russell, the legendary Australian-born foreign correspondent who wrote bluntly about the checkered history of Marina del Rey in his 2014 book “Chinatown County: The Sell-Out of Marina del Rey,” died Monday at UCLA Hospital after an extended illness. He was 88. Russell, known simply as “Bruce” to his colleagues worldwide, made his home in Marina del Rey for the past 17 years. He was the consummate journalist, and his global career (perhaps too unbelievable for Hollywood) spanned nearly half a century as he wrote for the fabled international news agency Reuters. After starting his career working for Sir Keith Murdoch (father of Rupert Murdoch) at the Adelaide Examiner and Melbourne Herald, Bruce jumped on a freighter in 1953 to see the world. To use his words, “Australians inevitably yearn for seeing the world beyond their tight big island, and in 1953 I set off for Canada aboard a freighter to explore.” His early adventures hitchhiking around the world were chronicled in his first book, “Carnival Bound,” published in 1956. A year later he landed a job with Reuters in London, and the youthful and exuberant Bruce quickly evolved into the living picture of a fearless correspondent — one who could have been plucked out of the pages of a Graham Greene novel. As a star reporter for Reuters, he actually jogged behind tanks as they slowly moved into the Philippine city of Manilla to crush a rebellion. Bruce flitted from one trouble spot to another covering civil wars and riots, along the way incurring the wrath of

the roiling streets of Los Angeles amidst civil unrest from many directions. Bruce sported a green convertible Mustang as he traversed the streets of L.A.; it served as his traveling office as
he covered the biggest stories in California for more than a decade: the Charles Manson murders and ensuing trial, the assassination of Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel, and the trials of Angela Davis and Pentagon Papers defendant Daniel Ellsberg among them. He also covered stories such as Charlie Chaplin’s return to Hollywood and the
scandalous and stormy divorce of Marlon Brando from Anna Kashfi. Bruce was admired as a one-man whirling dervish, singlehandedly covering the biggest stories in California for Reuters, while matching and competing with much larger staffs working for outlets like the Associated Press, United Press International, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Herald Examiner and Agence France-Presse. In 1978, Bruce was sent on another serious assignment. He became a bureau chief for Reuters in Washington. Bruce held that job for 13 years but maintained that “the world of congressional debate, diplomacy and government regulation was never as much fun as Los Angeles.” Perhaps the current day chaos and shenanigans in Washington would have captivated him. After retirement, Bruce briefly moved back to Australia with his family but longed for life in Southern California. So he moved back and his investigative reporter mind kicked in again, which led to his penning and self-publishing “Chinatown County.” His investigative book chronicled the Machiavellian history about the tumultuous creation of Marina del Rey while simultaneously arguing to protect its natural environment. Bruce structured his later life with Marie Louise to spend half the year in France, where he loved to hike the Pyrenees, swim in the Mediterranean, and enjoy the food, friends and quality of life of her family home in the village Saint Genis des Fontaines, a place he came to cherish. He is survived by Marie Louise; his daughter Sophie, in San Francisco; his son Guy, in Barcelona; and his family in Australia: sister Helen Heard, niece Mary, nephews Adrian and Sam, and their families. A celebration of life is planned for early September.

Look Out, Landlubber! Clueless kayakers and paddleboarders need to start heeding boat traffic in Marina del Rey harbor By Lorraine Alper Kramer The author is an experienced boater and paddleboarder in Marina del Rey. The ever-increasing popularity of paddleboarding and kayaking in Marina del Rey harbor has created a dangerous situation for sailors, power-boaters and paddlers alike: Some people just aren’t paying attention to traffic on the water, and I’m afraid that someday soon somebody’s going to get hurt. We all share the same waterway, so this should be a concern for us all. A few weekends ago, my husband and I were returning from a quick getaway to Avalon when we had a close call with several paddleboarders and kayakers as we tried to enter Basin C (between Panay and Marquesas ways). They were just sitting there in the middle of the entrance, blocking traffic, without any movement. We immediately put the boat in reverse to make an emergency stop. While our 50-foot powerboat can stop very quickly this way, it’s still a potentially dangerous situation for others: We were blocking oncoming boats behind us, and that could have caused
Paddleboarding is tons of fun, but please don’t leave your brain on shore a terrible collision if those boats couldn’t stop fast enough. Fortunately, everyone walked away safe this time. But if you’re a kayaker or paddleboarder who isn’t paying attention to oncoming traffic, I’m that person shouting: “Yo! Move to the other side. You can move faster than we can stop.”
I also wave many of you over or flag you down to get your attention, even though you can probably see most boats approaching sooner than they can spot you. I believe that experienced paddleboarders and kayakers should take personal responsibility to inform our less-knowledgeable peers about water safety. When
I’m out paddleboarding and pass others who are idling out in the middle of the main channel, I tell them that for their safety they should move to the side of the channel, near the boat slips. I usually get a smile and a wave, and they move to a safer spot. Sometimes I’m ignored, and I suppose it’s not always because they couldn’t hear me. As a fellow paddleboarder who also owns a power boat, the truth is that many paddleboarders not only risk turning a pleasurable outing on the water into a personal tragedy, they also put boaters at risk of causing an accident to keep from running them over. I don’t think I’m being overdramatic — when talking with other boaters, they all have stories of at least one close encounter. Many kayakers and paddleboarders heed the warnings from rental companies to stay alert and keep to the sides of the channel whenever possible. I’m reaching out to those who don’t. This isn’t a matter of right-of-way; it’s about all of us being cautious and considerate in a crowded harbor. Let’s respect each other’s presence on the water so we can all share a safer future.

Manhattan Beach, Malibu, or even Santa Monica — would ever put a project of this scale one block from the beach. They cherish their beach communities. And so do we, but we were never asked if this was a reasonable use of a city property, or represents a coherent vision for the future of Venice.
It just somehow got mandated by L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin and others, behind closed doors, that one block from the beach was where hundreds of homeless people had to live for no good reason other than that the city owns the land.

Venice Says No to Hate Hundreds march along the boardwalk to condemn racism and white nationalist violence By Joe Piasecki, Gary Walker and Gabe Schneider Here at the edge of the Western world, where authenticity blends seamlessly with performance, an awkward hodgepodge of progressive activists — white, black, brown, red, gay, straight, young, old, capitalist, communist and perhaps even a few militant leftists — managed to steal Venice’s white hot spotlight under the banner of a common cause. As the boisterous stream of anti-racism demonstrators flowed briskly along the boardwalk from Windward Avenue toward Google’s local offices on Main Street, there may have been as many onlookers pointing cell phone cameras at the procession as there were participants in it. Late Saturday morning brunch patrons stood and cheered and a few shopkeepers even stepped forward to applaud as the marchers chanted slogans like “No Trump! No KKK! No fascist U.S.A!” and “This is what democracy looks like!” LAPD Pacific Division officers, who maintained posts at every intersection of Speedway along the route and briefly stopped traffic on Pacific Avenue and Main Street, estimated the crowd at about 800 strong. But it felt like a lot more. “It’s great to see a crowd this size and the amazing diversity. This is the face of Venice,” said Jed Pauker, formerly of the Venice Neighborhood Council and one of several locals who volunteered to help with crowd control. “We’re inclusive. But when you start spouting hate, we’re going to come back at you.” Unlike the protests and counter-protests the prior weekend in Charlottesville and this week’s events in Laguna Beach, Boston and Phoenix, the roughly threehour demonstration in Venice went off without arrest or incident, in no small part because the opposition was a no-show. Matthais Lehman, a Westside-based California Democratic Party delegate, put PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT August 24, 2017
out the call for “The Alt-Right is Not Alright with Los Angeles” rally after one such group threatened to protest outside Google over the firing of engineer James Damore, who openly criticized the company’s push for greater workforce diversity. Citing the previous weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, that group quickly backed down. But Lehman and others doubled down on the chance to put out their own message.

It goes to show the effect our president has had: allowing people to feel proud of holding onto hatred and prejudice against people who aren’t like them,” said Alberto Reyes, 23, who works in scientific research. “The message Trump’s trying to send is that only white people are important,” said graphic designer and Culver City resident Harvey Fang, 38. “It’s ridiculous to compare people from
“This is the face of Venice. We’re inclusive. But when you start spouting hate, we’re going to come back at you.” — Venice activist Jed Pauker
“The impetus for me was to show that most people don’t agree with what happened in Charlottesville,” said Claudia Trevisan, a legal recruiter who lives in Venice. “We outnumber them. Our voices are stronger.” “Silence is consent, and I don’t give my consent to that [white nationalist] bullshit,” said UCLA student Hoang Nguyen, 21. “We thought it was over. We thought our side had won,” said Naomi Nightingale, a civil rights activist in Venice’s historically black Oakwood neighborhood since the late 1960s. “We’re not only going to resist, we’re going to persist.” Many of the demonstrators took aim at President Donald Trump, arguing that his divisive campaign rhetoric and reluctance to blame the alt-right for the violence in Charlottesville has empowered white nationalists to come out of the shadows. “When I saw those riots in Charlottesville, I couldn’t believe people were so willing to express those beliefs in this
the Confederacy to George Washington. Those statues were only put there to intimidate people of color,” said Satkartar Khalsa, 22, of Marina del Rey. The feeling that white nationalists are emboldened hits close to home for public relations specialist Laurence Cohen, a Santa Monica resident concerned about recent alt-right protests in that city. Earlier this month, at least 20 white nationalists clashed with locals in Virginia Avenue Park while trying to disrupt a meeting of the Racial Justice Coalition, a grassroots community workgroup formed in 2011 after a racially motivated assault at Santa Monica High School. Santa Monica police removed a few of the alt-right demonstrators and prevented others from storming the lobby. Protesters have announced plans to return in greater numbers to disrupt the committee’s September workshop. “I go to the park for the farmers market on a regular basis, and it’s just horrifying to know there are white supremacists
coming here to disrupt a peaceful gathering,” said Cohen. “What concerns me is that free speech needs to be protected, but hate speech does not.” An occasional ACLU donor, Cohen is troubled by that organization’s willingness to assist hate groups, including filing a lawsuit that facilitated the “Unite the Right” protests in Charlottesville. Differences of viewpoint among the Venice demonstrators stood out during a series of short speeches delivered behind Google, where speakers included representatives of a Native American group, Black Lives Matter and even a surprise appearance by L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin. The most divisive was an activist who called on participants to chant “cops and Klan go hand-in-hand” and received a chorus of boos instead. “That’s not why we’re here!” shouted Priscilla Gonzales, 27, of Newport Beach. “A lot of blue lives are defending our rights to protest today. We shouldn’t fight hate with hate,” she later elaborated, explaining that her conservative Christian parents taught her that differences in lifestyle choice and religious beliefs are no reason to hate other people or treat them poorly. One common thread of the march: cautious optimism. “We don’t know how all this is all going to end,” reflected Cohen, “but I do believe the goodwill of the American people will find a way.” Saturday’s anti-racism march took demonstrators from Windward Avenue to the Google offices on Main Street, with a contingent later heading to HBO in Santa Monica to voice concerns about the upcoming drama series “Confederate.” Photos: 1, 5, 7 by Courtnay Robbins Bragagnolo; 2, 3, 6, 10 by Carol Finley; 3, 8, 9, 11 by Mia Duncans

As it pertains specifically to the traffic lane reductions on Venice Boulevard, all that’s been created is animosity toward people trying to get to work in a reasonable amount of time, who are somehow “the bad guys” in the never-ending attempt to legislate how people decide to commute.
If city officials were serious about getting people out of their cars, they would appropriate the funding necessary to expedite construction of light rail connecting Culver City to LAX and use both Venice and Lincoln boulevards as points of mass commuter access. To suggest the absurdity of people transferring to bicycles as a primary mode to travel to their place of employ-

the Venice Neighborhood Council, I saw nearly 100 people turn out at our recent meeting— the overwhelming number of them opposing these ridiculous changes. The only ones in support were not-for-profit bicycling advocates, city staffers and bureaucrats, along with non-Venice residents pretending to speak for those phantom supporters of this ill-conceived and poorly planned proposal. Safely nestled in a new, five and half year term of office, Councilman Bonin is now immune to the scrutiny he avoided during his listless and lifeless reelection campaign. Had this road diet been part of that campaign, we might have another individual representing the frustrated and exhausted voters of Council District 11. This is just another example why Los Angeles is one of the most tone-deaf and mismanaged cities in America, and the primary reason why many Venice residents are seriously considering cityhood as a legitimate option for responsible change.

Drive Out Hate With Love An open letter to residents of Santa Monica by the city’s mayor and mayor pro-tem. We share the nation’s heartache following the events in Charlottesville. It’s painful to see blatant hate played out in such a menacing way. We stand in solidarity with Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer in his courageous battle against the forces of white supremacy and ethnic and religious bigotry. We share our condolences with the family of Heather Heyer and those injured. We mourn the death of the two Virginia State Troopers who died doing their duty, protecting the rights and safety of all. There is always room in cities like Charlottesville and Santa Monica for dissent, no matter how uncomfortable or outside the mainstream. But we saw in Charlottesville forces bent on more than expressing their opinions. We join Mayor Signer and mayors across the country in condemning intimidation, violence and terrorism. Similar incidents of intolerance and intimidation have recently
happened in our own community. We will always respect the rights of free speech, but we will not tolerate coercion or violence. We speak for our colleagues on the City Council, our City staff and the vast majority in our community to reaffirm that Santa Monica fervently supports the equitable treatment of all people — regardless of race, cultural background, age, citizenship, gender or sexual orientation. We also understand that honoring our differences is vital to ensuring city services are responsive and effective. The City of Santa Monica is part of a network of public agencies called the Government Alliance on Race & Equity working to address racial equity and its implications for public policy and service delivery. We look forward to sharing more of this work, including how everyone in our community can get involved. America has gone through dark periods in the past and we will navigate through this one. The key lies in practicing our nation’s values of liberty, tolerance and inclusion. In this, we stand united with Charlottesville and every other American community—to defend the American way of life, protecting every American from violent terrorism, whatever its origin. We take inspiration from the immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” As Americans, as Santa Monicans, we stand together against violence, terrorism and the intolerance that spawns them. We call upon all who love our nation and our community to respond to this crisis in the spirit of Dr. King — and drive out hate with love.

Jet to Jetty: 29 Years and Running Playa del Rey’s annual friendly footrace supports local student leadership programs
One day a year since 1988, WestchesterPlaya locals and dedicated L.A.-area runners get up early on a Sunday morning and head to Dockweiler Beach en masse to run, jog or walk under the LAX flight path in support of a great cause. Word is they have a pretty great time doing it, too. This Sunday the annual Jet to Jetty 5k and 10k run/walk returns to Dockweiler, this time also with a companion 10-mile bicycle race as well as a kid’s fun run closing out the morning’s activities.

Bring on the Big Brass Arturo Sandoval closes out the Marina del Rey Summer Concert Series Cuban-American jazz legend Arturo Sandoval brings his brassy brand of transcendent music to Burton Chace Park on Saturday, closing out this season’s Marina del Rey Summer Concert Series with a free evening show sure to bring out a crowd. Known for his virtuosic improvisational skills and famous friendship with Dizzy Gillespie, the standard-bearer of Latin and Afro-Cuban jazz visited Santa Monica High School earlier this year and imparted his professional insights to music students during a master class on the art of jazz. “If you want to play professionally, be ready to bring a lot of passion and desire for music,” he told the Samohi musicians. “Be ready to give your heart and soul to it.” Another pearl of wisdom: “Don’t take
any note for granted — every note is important.” Sandoval also demonstrated playing the piano and the trumpet at the same time, generating sustained applause from the crowd. With 10 Grammy awards, six Billboard awards, an Emmy and a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Barack Obama under his belt, Sandoval is not only a master of his craft. He knows how to put on an incredible show, as well. — Christina Campodonico and Gary Walker Arturo Sandoval performs at 7 p.m. Saturday at Burton Chace Park, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey.

The Strawberry Alarm Clock re-enact their breakthrough 1967 album cover
50 Years After the Summer of Love
The Strawberry Alarm Clock return to Venice for an anniversary concert on the beach By Christina Campodonico If the counterculture revolution known as the Summer of Love lives on through its soundtrack, The Strawberry Alarm Clock’s psychedelic jam “Incense and Peppermints” stands up as an anthem intrinsic to a time when young people would “turn on, tune in and drop out” in hopes of changing the world. Released in May 1967, a month after Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love” and a week before The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” the trippy song reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts that November. And while San Francisco got most of the media attention, The Strawberry Alarm Clock bassist and vocalist George Bunnell remembers Venice Beach shaping much of how the L.A.-based band experienced that year — including a taping of the live dance show “The Groovy Hour” and headlining the legendary Cheetah Club. The Cheetah stood where Navy Street now meets the sea, what was then the base of the Pacific Ocean Park Pier. “The Laurence Welk Show” broadcasted from here in the 1950s, when the venue was known as the Aragon Ballroom. By the time the Cheetah shuttered in 1970, The Doors, Buffalo Springfield,
The Turtles, The Grass Roots, Iron Butterfly and Quicksilver Messenger Service all played here, and it’s said to be the place Frank Zappa discovered Alice Cooper when he was fronting a band called The Nazz. The Strawberry Alarm Clock play the Cheetah circa 1967-68 in “Psych-Out,” a hallucinogenic thriller starring a 30-yearold Jack Nicholson as a psychedelic rocker named Stoney. Fifty years after the Summer of Love, The Strawberry Alarm Clock is still ticking. Five of the band’s original members, including Bunnell, headline the 12th annual Venice Beach Music Fest on Saturday. The Argonaut: What was the Cheetah Club like back in 1967? George Bunnell: I knew about it because my parents told me — they said, “Yeah, we had gone there when we were younger, when it was The Aragon Ballroom.” And so I was looking around the place, looking for the history of it, because I’m into that kind of thing. But that’s all I really remember about the place. … And then we did a movie for [producer] Dick Clark called “PsychOut,” with Jack Nicholson and a bunch of people. Actually, most of the movie was
filmed right in the Cheetah Club. We were there all day because we had to show Jack Nicholson how to hold a guitar. Oh really? Yeah, he was playing one of our songs, too, and they asked us to show the actors how to put their fingers in the right places so it looks like they’re really playing. Was Nicholson a good student? He was just laughing about it, having fun. It was really a cool thing. It was loaded with people because they had a full audience of extras to make it look like a live show. And then there were, you know, Bruce Dern and Adam Roarke and all these different people, Susan Strasberg, all who were in the movie. It was pretty amazing. Do you remember the concert you played there in ’67? Not really. It was sort of confusing because there were so many bands and so many people, and we didn’t know where we were or anything. At the time, keep in mind, we were all about 18 years old, and some of the guys weren’t even 18 yet. One guy was 21— Mark [Weitz], our keyboard player. So he was kind of our dad in the band. He was the leader.
It was the same thing with all the bands that we were playing with, and so we were kind of like in awe all the time, like playing with Buffalo Springfield, or The Turtles, and we toured with The Beach Boys. And all those bands were older. Like in 1967, Mike Love of The Beach Boys was 27 years old. He was nine years older than me. I thought he was a dad. In those days if you were over 30, you weren’t to be trusted. What did you learn from these only slightly older guys? We learned a lot when we were with The Beach Boys. I mean, they helped us out. They knew that we were nervous to be there at all, but they were helping us out with vocals, during sound checks. But they also used to suggest, “Why don’t you guys find some nice sweaters? ... You know, to wear.” Because we were wearing those East Indian clothes, and then about two years later you saw the Beach Boys, or at least Mike Love, wearing the same thing. And it was like, “Oh, okay. They finally got it.” But back then when we were touring with them, it was like, “You know you guys are all good-looking guys. You’d look (Continued on page 18)

really good if you were wearing some slacks and nice sweaters and stuff.” How did you guys develop your fashion style? It was either Randy Seol or Mark Weitz who had lunch in Westwood at this little Thai place called The Loft, and it was called The Loft because it was upstairs from other shops. There was this East Indian shop called Sat Purush on the ground level. … And anyway, I don’t know, it was maybe like a week later or something like that, we were told to go out with our photographer and our manager, and to go to these different clothing shops to find suitable stage clothes and something to wear for the album cover. So we went around and looked for things — silk shirts with big collars and all that stuff. … Ugh, we hated all of it. And then it was either Mark or Randy said, “I saw this Indian shop after having lunch the other day, and maybe we should check that out.” So the whole band got together and went over to Sat Purush. And we walked in and told them what we were doing, and they were all really, really friendly and nice. There were all these pillows and caftan chairs and all that kind of stuff, screens, and so that album cover, the first album cover
[“Incense and Peppermints”], was taken in the shop. And so that was it. There was the album cover, and it was pretty bold. Nothing had happened like that yet. People weren’t wearing those clothes yet. But they were shortly thereafter, even The Beatles and The Monkees, and everybody else went into that shop because we put the name of it on the back of the album cover. We started the whole thing. The Venice Beach Music Fest is from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26, where Windward Avenue meets the Venice Boardwalk. The Strawberry Alarm Clock goes on at 6 p.m. Tickets are free.

Il Forno brilliantly executes authentic cured meats and other Italian staples
By Richard Foss Il Forno Trattoria
2904 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica (310) 450-1241 ilfornocaffe.com It’s been a good 20 years since a friend invited me to join her for lunch at her favorite Italian restaurant, but I still remember being surprised at her choice. Patti seemed ecstatic about the food, and I recall thinking, “Il Fornaio is good for a corporate place, but what’s the big deal?” I wasn’t the first person to confuse independent Santa Monica restaurant Il Forno with the similarly named chain restaurant, and I won’t be the last. (Il Forno translates to “the oven” and the other means “the baker,” in case you’re wondering.) We had the first of many fine meals there in a restaurant that was packed with savvy local office workers. We met several times after that, and always received good food and service despite daunting crowds. And then we didn’t for a long time — she was no longer local after her company moved, and I
sorta forgot about the place. The next time we both had a day off she suggested we return, and I looked forward to seeing how Il Forno had changed. We arrived at about 11:30 a.m., just after

The place looked just about the way it always had, except for one thing: It was empty. A sea of tables awaited diners both inside and on the patio, and the servers had nothing to do but stroll around and straighten a napkin here, polish the bar over there. As we ordered a salad, pasta and pizza from the lunch menu I wondered aloud how a place that had been so popular could have fallen on such hard times. My companion smiled but didn’t say anything.
Tropicale we had ordered — arugula, radicchio, avocado, hearts of palm and parmesan shavings accented with a lemon olive oil dressing. And as the salad showed up, so did an avalanche of customers; in minutes Il Forno went from empty to bustling. Patti explained that this is the pattern here: when the local businesses break for lunch, Il Forno goes from idle to racing without any intermission. The servers who had been strolling around and prepping tables now strode purposefully around the room taking orders in one (Continued on page 20)

direction and plates in the other. I ordered a daily special of a pizza topped with bresaola, feta and spinach. Bresaola is an Italian style of cured beef and is not a common pizza topping, but this pie made a good case for it. The drying and curing process intensifies the meaty flavor while a rub of salt and spices that includes cinnamon and juniper gives it a distinctive and exotic flavor. This meat is usually a bit chewy, but the time in the oven crisps it so that it’s easy to eat. The crust under that meat was medium thickness and arrived with a crisp bottom and just a bit of chewiness, which is exactly how I like it. My friend ordered penne puttanesca, which isn’t on the menu but is something they’ll make if you ask. It was spicy and flavorful, with the pickled flavors of capers and purple olives accenting a zesty, richly herbed tomato sauce. This is one of my favorite pasta preparations, and here they do it very well. As for the salad Tropicale they brought to our table, the flavors were spot on but the arugula
Chef Domenico Salvatore delivers the goods could have been cut a bit finer; with each forkful, you got a huge amount or none. It was the only misstep in the meal, and a very minor one at that. On another visit I tried the house-made ravioli with spinach and ricotta in porcini mushroom sauce, and this dish showed that when a light touch is called for, Il Forno has it. This kitchen has proven it can go bold or let natural flavors shine, and not everyone can do that. Il Forno’s location keeps it bustling at lunch thanks to the surrounding business community, but the spot that sizzles by day is a relaxing place to unwind
in the evening and enjoy something from the wine list with your meal. Chef Domenico Salvatore and founder Joseph Sucebveanu have been delivering consistent quality for over 30 years, and whether you’re looking for a grab-andgo to take back to your desk or planning a special night out, they have what you need. Il Forno serves lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays; it opens for dinner at 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and at 5 p.m. Sundays. Wine and beer served; corkage is $20. Parking lot in back.

When you own, you may be eligible for a slew of real estate tax deductions and credits, including state and local income and property taxes, and mortgage interest and mortgage insurance payments.

Your fellow consumers wholeheartedly believe it’s important to work with an agent when selling. Nearly nine out of 10 sellers, or 89%, did just that.

Master of Invention ‘Godfather of British Blues’ John Mayall embarks on new musical explorations with every live gig
PAGE 32 THE ARGONAUT August 24, 2017
Photo by Jeff Fasano
By Bliss Bowen It’s strange that we’re living in times of such political chaos and historic consequence, yet so few artists are addressing current events in their songs. Blues and folk in particular have historically lent themselves to that kind of musical commentary. “I’ve always believed in writing about real things going on around us,” says Blues Hall of Famer John Mayall, who has often tucked timely songs into his albums, from “The Laws Must Change” on 1969’s “The Turning Point” to “The Devil Must Be Laughing” on this year’s “Talk About That.” “When I put compositions together for an album, I like to make sure that any ideas I’ve got I can at least put them into music and put them out there. Not necessarily to convert people, but just to put my opinions forward. I get a lot of feedback from people who appreciate that aspect. I think it’s a good thing to do. And the blues is a fine vehicle for doing that, because it always has traditionally expressed what’s going on around from a personal point of view.” Songwriting, topical or otherwise, is not what the keyboardist, harmonica player and sometime guitarist is best known for, but the fact that he continues to express his thoughts about the world contributes to his ongoing popularity. At age 83, he still records and tours regularly, averaging 100 shows a year; he’ll be backed by longtime drummer Jay Davenport and bassist Greg Rzab at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica on Friday night. “We’re having a great time with the trio format,” he says. “There’s a lot of freedom and excitement involved in it.” Commonly referred to as the “godfather of British blues,” Mayall was at ground zero of the early-1960s British blues explosion in London. His second album put him on the map: 1966’s “Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton,” a foundational brick in the blues-rock canon. It also helped fix Mayall’s enduring reputation as a mentor of future rock stars. Aside from Clapton, who migrated from the Bluesbreakers to Cream, a short list of players who got schooled in Mayall’s legendary band includes Mick Fleetwood, visionary guitarist Peter Green and John McVie (all pre-Fleetwood Mac), Free bassist Andy Fraser, violinist Don “Sugarcane” Harris, Coco Montoya, Canned Heat bassist Larry Taylor, later Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, and Walter Trout. When asked what qualities were essential for a musician to be recruited into his band, Mayall is polite but unsentimental.
Mayall, a mentor to Eric Clapton and Mick Fleetwood, is still jamming hard “Nothing specific,” he says. “Somebody that’s got his own style and something that turns me on. It’s a bandleader’s
blues movement started with Alex Korner in the ’60s, everybody that had an interest in the music gravitated to London and
“For me it’s a different show every night, a different set list. … It’s something I’ve always believed in: We get up on the stage and we’re meant to create something that’s original and exciting.” — John Mayall privilege that if he hears somebody he likes, he’s in a position to hire them so he can have the pleasure of working with them.” Mayall recalls having no specific mentors himself: “When the British
started to find their own way.” He was already 30 when he started performing professionally during that momentous era characterized by rock ‘n’ roll excess, which may account for the mature focus he trained on working-
class virtues like steady income while also churning through ever-shifting lineups of musicians as he developed his sound. Mayall brought heat and conviction to performance, along with deep knowledge of blues and jazz. He was and remains disciplined and productive — prodigiously so; he’s released dozens of albums. That discipline sometimes placed him at odds with musicians as well as producers such as late, great New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint. Asked about their experience recording 1976’s “Notice to Appear,” Mayall describes a fundamental clash of work styles. “I’m used to going in a studio and recording, getting down to it right away. But it was very difficult because he was the producer, but he wasn’t there half the time and we were just hanging around waiting for him to get inspired or something. And then when it all came out there was very little of my input into it at all. So it was a very difficult experience.” A Los Angeles resident since 1969, Mayall has soldiered on, continually working, not unlike the blues trailblazers (John Lee Hooker, Albert King, Sonny Boy Williamson) he accompanied in his early days. In 2005, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire— an anomaly on a Macclesfield-born blues musician’s resume. “That was a bit of a surprise, but it was quite exciting to go beyond the palace gates and meet Prince Charles and all that,” he says. “So it was an honor. [Chuckles.] Big step, isn’t it?” Some might consider that their career peak. But Mayall finds his greatest achievement as an artist onstage. “What sets me apart from most blokes who go on the road, most of them play the same songs every night,” he says. “But for me it’s a different show every night, a different set list. It’s constantly improvising and exploring the music. So it’s very free in that respect. It’s something I’ve always believed in: We get up on the stage and we’re meant to create something that’s original and exciting. “I think it’s important to constantly explore the music. There’s so much always to do, to express yourself. That’s the important thing.” John Mayall performs at The Broad Stage (1310 11th St, Santa Monica) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25. Tickets are $65 to $115. Call (310) 434-3200 or visit thebroadstage.com.

requests of the person you’re married to, so ask him to try something for you — go to the gym … for just three weeks. Reassure him that you still find him hot, but explain that you really, really find him hot when it looks like you could chip a tooth on one of his biceps. The three-week stint — beyond getting him back in the habit of going to the gym — should lead to some positive changes in his body, giving him a sense of accomplishment. Because Deci and Ryan find that feelings of “competence” are an integral part of intrinsic motivation, there’s a good chance he’ll feel motivated to keep working out — instead of trying to get by on making those weightlifter grunts every time he changes the channel.
Getting a Friend to Exorcise I’m trying to get over a breakup, and one of my best friends, in an attempt to help me move on, keeps saying, “He doesn’t want you!” I get that (and I do need to move on), but hearing that makes me feel unlovable and even more depressed. I am seeing what went wrong; I should have believed him when he told me at the very beginning that he was “terrified of relationships.” I’m sure it’s frustrating for her to see me in pain, but I’m just not ready to get back out there. What do I tell her so she stops making me feel worse? — Still Sad Misery sometimes wishes company would shut its big flapping trap. Of course, your friend means well. She just wants Pain and its BFF, Suffering, to bugger off already. However, like most
people, she probably doesn’t understand that the sadness you’re experiencing isn’t just a crappy feeling. Like all emotions, it has a job to do. In fact, sadness is a tool, just like a hammer, a plunger, or a Winkelschleifer (German for angle grinder). Psychiatrist and evolutionary psychologist Randolph Nesse explains that “happiness and sadness usually follow experiences of gain or loss,” helping us by “influencing future behavior” in ways that increase our chances of passing along our genes (including surviving long enough to manage that). Happiness, for example, urges us (about whatever led to it): “Do that again and you’ll see even more of me!” Sadness, on the other hand, warns us: “Do that again, missy, and I’ll drag you right back to Boohoosville.” Though sadness
can seem like some kind of punishment you don’t remember deserving, Nesse writes that “those people who don’t experience much sadness … are predicted to engage again in the same behaviors that previously led to loss.” Thank your friend for trying to make you feel better, but tell her that what you need from her is not tough love but the kind that involves hugs, Kleenex and maybe a snack. Explain the utility of sadness and how you’re using it as a tool to understand the past and act more wisely in the future. In other words, you aren’t stalling in moving on; you’re learning — and not just how long you have to cry before the neighbors start going to work in rowboats and the government sends in the National Guard with sandbags and a year’s supply of Cheetos.

If your husband’s starting to see definition in his legs, it shouldn’t be from rolling over and falling asleep on the remote. As for how to get him back into workout mode, consider what psychologists Edward Deci and Richard M. Ryan have learned in studying motivation. They break it down into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic, fancy terms for internal and
external. The extrinsic kind is outside pressure to do something, like nagging from the wife to start going to the gym instead of just driving by the place and waving. Extrinsic pressure tends to motivate defiance rather than compliance, which is to say it’s remarkably effective at bringing out the “terrible twos” in a 46-year-old man. Intrinsic motivation, however, is the kind that Deci and Ryan find leads to lasting change. This is motivation that comes from within a person, meaning that it’s in tune with who they are and what they want for themselves — like abs of steel instead of … wait, there are abs in there? The challenge here is not how to make your husband work out but how to get him to start wanting what you want. You’re allowed to make
