L e t t e r s Charter School Issues Need Neutral Mediation Re: “Strife Returns to Stoner Elementary,” news, Aug. 20 Mr. Walker’s article suggests that the question of how educational resources are allocated among charter schools and traditional public schools is best addressed by LAUSD officials. Unfortunately, that is far from the best forum. LAUSD officials are elected and are supported in their election by the teachers union. The teachers union is opposed to both charter
schools and co-location. Thus the LAUSD is hardly an uninterested observer. They tend to follow the lead of the hand that feeds them. We would be better served by finding a neutral third party, one whose primary role is not the protection of teachers but rather the quality of the education our tax dollars provide. Kevin Minihan Westchester It’s Time to Rethink Eggs The U.S. egg industry has been reeling from a colossal outbreak of avian flu, mostly among
egg-laying chickens. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 48 million birds, accounting for 11% of the nation’s egg-laying hens, were slaughtered in the past few months for fear of infection. The effects are far-reaching, from how to dispose of millions of potentially infected bird carcasses to job losses and rapidly rising egg prices. Although the precise cause of the outbreak remains uncertain, the horrendous conditions in today’s factory farms make egg and chicken production extreme-
ly vulnerable to disease outbreaks and therefore not sustainable. A number of food producers offer plant-based alternatives that mimic closely the taste, texture and cooking properties of eggs and chicken. Many of us favor replacing polluting fossil energy sources with clean renewable ones. That takes concerted national action. But every one of us has the power to effect that same transition for our food sources every time we shop. Al Masters Marina del Rey
FROM THE WEB: Re: “Poisonous Rattlesnake Slithers through Marina del Rey,” news, Aug. 13 Does the Dept. of Animal Control not have officers who are trained to safely relocate wildlife that clearly wandered off a nearby ecological reserve?

seems ludicrous enough if not a reason for concern. Rattlesnakes don’t chase people on bicycles; they try to avoid them. How about posting signs along the bike path and along the ecological reserve fence line to let people know that rattlesnakes are present and to act accordingly with caution. Maybe it will get some people to keep their dogs on leashes when visiting. There are creatures among us, so let’s
learn to live with them and population and development, respect their presence. Marina del Rey went from a Jonathan Coffin swamp dredged out in the 1960s to an overbuilt, congested mess.

Re: “Giving Crime a Fight,” cover story, Aug. 20 This article should have been called “Giving Only One Kind of Crime a Fight.” Where is any consideration given to all of the other crimes: The crimes of people getting illegally kicked out of affordable housing by developers who lie to them, and then lie to city planners? The crimes of quiet neighborhoods getting disrupted by hordes of AirBnBers? Where do you factor in the crimes of health insurance companies jacking up our rates because no one can stop them? It reminds me of the line from the old Woody Guthrie tune: “Some will rob you with a six gun, some with a fountain pen.” It’s pretty disappointing to think that The Argonaut cares only about one kind of property crime. It’s almost as though you want to distract us while the bigger crimes go on unchecked. Now why would you want to do that? Mark Kleiman HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE ARGONAUT:

Re: “Strife Returns to Stoner Elementary,” news, Aug. 20 It’s sad that ICEF has taken resources from Stoner. Charter school co-location is the new segregation. There is a definite divide. ICEF has its own private entrance. Now at Stoner there is literally separate and unequal access to education on the same campus. Carmen A What a positive example these warring parents are setting for their young children. One of the primary lessons children learn concerns sharing. What ICEF students may “lose” in space they will gain in new friendships, alliances and experiences.

By Gary Walker Westchester’s neighborhood council has been taking complaints for years about a boarded-up former Grinder restaurant on Sepulveda Boulevard near Manchester Avenue, which until recently was occupied by a group of homeless men. So when Chick-Fil-A came calling with an interest in taking over the site, it looked like a win-win. Instead, a longstanding ban on drive-thru restaurants in downtown Westchester has Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin opposed to the plan and butting heads with a neighborhood council wanting to make an exception to the rule. The stalemate between Bonin and supporters of the fast-food chain has property owner Perry Mann also considering leasing the lot to an airport valet parking service. Sam’s Airport Parking used the space as a parking lot for several months last year. “I think [Chick-Fil-A representatives] are backing out. It looks like they’re not interested anymore,” Mann said. “Everybody seems to be in favor of Chick-Fil-A except Bonin, but I have to move forward.” The Chick-Fil-A proposal —a 2,867-square-foot, 84-seat restaurant with drive-thru service — has staunch support from the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce, the Neighborhood Council of Westchester – Playa and other community organizations. They favor making an exception to the Downtown Westchester Community Design Overlay, which prohibits drive-thru restaurants between Sepulveda and La Tijera boulevards. Neighborhood Council of Westchester – Playa President Cyndi Hench said the former Grinder site has become a blighted eyesore and thus far the fast-food restaurant is the best option on the table. “The reality is that a drive-thru at that location is not a horrible idea. The community supports it, and we think the city should make an exemption for ChickFil-A,” she said. Bonin said he remains adamantly opposed to changing the
zoning code for Chick-Fil-A out of deference to the team that created the zoning plan. “The folks who worked on this community plan put in a lot of sweat and a lot of time on it and that should be respected,” he said. “I’m really strict about changing zoning codes without a very clear and compelling reason to do so.” Westchester resident John Ruhlen, who helped craft the Downtown Westchester Community Design Overlay when he was member of the Westchester Business Improvement District, said he’d be OK with an exemption because Chick-Fil-A is offering to have the drive-thru area behind a covered patio that will limit its visibility.

Vincent Bertolini, an architect and a long-time Kentwood homeowner, says creating more traffic at that location could exacerbate congestion at an intersection that is one of Westchester’s busiest and is seen as a gateway to Los Angeles International Airport. “How many travelers will stop at Chick-Fil-A to grab a sandwich before they get on a plane?” Bertolini asked. “If Chick-Fil-A comes there, it would be like the nail in the coffin for urban planning.” Kentwood resident Greg Fina said public officials have encouraged Los Angeles-based eateries to set up shop at LAX
“It has had a stifling effect on the small businesses in Westchester.” — Cyndi Hench “If you were driving down Sepulveda, you wouldn’t know that it’s a drive-thru,” he said. In exchange for development rights, Chick-Fil-A has offered to hire between 40 and 60 local residents and implement a package of community benefits that includes the replacement of five sidewalk-busting ficus trees on Sepulveda, funding for three public trash receptacles, transit passes for employees who do not drive to work, $3 million in landscaping and lighting improvements, an offer to fund programs at the Westchester Senior Center and the Westchester YMCA, and financial contributions to an area homeless organization and toward a new community design plan for Sepulveda. Chick-Fil-A representatives did not return calls. While there is overwhelming support for the project among Westchester neighborhood leaders, some of their constituents feel that there could be a better use for the site. The Westchester Democratic Club sent Bonin’s office a letter opposing the restaurant, citing potential traffic and congestion problems at Manchester and Sepulveda, due in part to the Chick-Fil-A’s plan to have traffic
and should do the same for downtown Westchester instead of backing a national fast-food chain. “I would love to see a new restaurant unique to Los Angeles that reflects the food culture energy that is going on right now,” Fina said. Hench thinks certain parts of the Downtown Westchester Community Design Overlay should be re-examined. “It has had a stifling effect on the small businesses in Westchester. Sepulveda is the driveway to LAX, and the reality is people often eat in their cars. To tell Chick-Fil-A they shouldn’t be there is not reflective of the context of the area,” she said. Bonin said the Westchester Streetscape Association, Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D- Los Angeles) office and Los Angeles city officials have worked hard to make Sepulveda a more walkable street with less congestion, and he’s convinced a drive-thru eatery would have the opposite effect. “This is about proper zoning,” Bonin said. Meanwhile, Mann said he can’t afford to wait much longer for a decision about Chick-Fil-A. “I have to make some decisions very soon,” he said.

Venice Beach Goes Topless for a Day Gender equality parade, 500-plus strong, gets its message across despite gawkers and protesters Story by Bonnie Eslinger Photos by Mia Duncans The crowd at Sunday’s Venice Beach Go Topless Pride Parade was seemingly hell-bent on not letting the celebration of nipple rights move forward. It wasn’t the half-dozen protesters holding signs with messages such as “Ask Me Why You Deserve Hell” and “Repent or Perish,” one literally thumping a six-foot tall model of a bible as he yelled “What’s Next, America?” It was the supporters. Hundreds of them, nearly all men, swarmed around the assembled contingent of topless-freedom celebrants ready to march down the beach’s famed boardwalk in a bid for gender equality. Armed with their cell phones and cameras, the men gawked and took pictures of the women, who bared breasts covered only with small patches placed on their areolae to prevent arrest for indecent exposure. The women, of all body types but many who appeared to be models or entertainers, took it in stride, posing for pictures and selfies with their admirers. “There’s a lot of lookie-loos for sure; there’s a lot of pervs, you know, but it’s also going to a greater cause,” said Sarah Jane Woodall, 38, who travelled from Vegas for the event. Wearing thigh-high red vinyl boots, a blue bikini bottom with white stars and a blue hat embroidered with her stage name, “Wonder Hussy,” Woodall’s liberated breasts were adorned with skin-colored pasties with the words “Free” and “Me” covering her nipples. “That’s an argument a lot of men use why toplessness should not be allowed, that it would be distracting to men,” Woodall said. “I’m sure a hundred years ago an ankle was distracting to men, and women show their ankles all the time now. Your distraction is not my problem.” An annual event in free-and-easy Venice, this year’s Go Topless Pride Parade was infused with additional political spirit on the heels of an April resolution by the Venice Neighborhood Council to support women being afforded the same rights as men to sunbathe topless at the beach. Back before the Reagan ‘80s, activists say, nude sunbathing was allowed in Venice, and the community sees itself as a cultural counterpart to Europe, where a topless woman at a beach is commonplace. But Venice’s new resolve to bring back top-optional tanning for women, which would require L.A. City Council to repeal the ban, lost momentum after that April vote. Lara Terstenjak, a lead organizer of the Go Topless Pride Parade, said one of the event’s aims was to show community support for changing the law. “I hope this action this year will give them a little push and next year we can be fully topless,” said Terstenjak, who wore plastic nipple-shaped pasties on her breasts as well as other parts of her body.

Though delayed by rubbernecks and religious protesters, more than 500 topless women and men paraded along the Venice boardwalk on Sunday “He seemed to like the idea; I liked the idea,” said Bella, a petite woman wearing a pink flowered skirt and flowers on her straw hat. “He can show his breasts in public, why can’t I?” The growing number of spectators crowding around the topless women made it difficult to get the event — Sarah Jane Woodall moving, but two male sentries eventually jumped in front of the participants and called out for the crush to back up so the treated for whipping their nipples out and parade could begin.

A row of environmentally sustainable homes built by Santa Monica’s Global Green USA By Kelly Hayes-Raitt Nearly four years after Hurricane Katrina and the collapse of New Orleans’ levees, there was nothing alive but the mold that marbled the walls and ceilings of the living rooms I toured in America’s poorest neighborhood. No rats or roaches, just layers of the intimate detritus of people’s lives: An upturned tricycle, intact figurines knocked from a shelf, a porn DVD. I gingerly moved through a ravaged rowhouse, sidestepping an overturned couch, piles of rotting books, clumps of fallen drywall. I held my arm over my nose to stifle the musky smell of that black, furry mold. Back on the street, I could still smell it. “Imagine an entire city smelling like this. That’s what it was like right after Katrina,” said Oscar Brown as he turned his back on the abandoned housing project. Each front porch was tattooed with a spray-painted symbol indicating the date the home was searched and the number of bodies discovered inside. Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast on Aug. 28, 2005, and some 80% of New Orleans was submerged when almost every levee in the city crumbled. Nearly 2,000 people died. More than a million people from the Gulf Coast fled the flooding, creating the largest refugee population in America’s history. When I toured New Orleans’ Ninth Ward that first time in 2009, most residents still hadn’t returned. “I left home with two changes of clothing thinking we’d be gone a
couple of days — never dreaming it would be three years!” one man told me. Ignored before the epic flooding, the neighborhood was still grappling with a lack of services: No grocery stores, no fire stations, no health care. The National Guard pulled out the week I visited. “My wife and I just had a daughter,” Brown told me at the time. “The nearest hospital was 45 minutes away.” During the six weeks following the hurricane, the only people allowed in were “military, medical and media,” said Darryl Malek-Wiley, a Sierra Club organizer who secured a press pass from the non-profit’s magazine in order to return to his neighborhood. Also allowed in during those first weeks were the contractors, modern-day carpetbaggers who fleeced taxpayers. During the two weeks following the storm, $62 billion in non-competitive bid contracts were awarded primarily to politically connected corporations. Halliburton, for example, (the corporation then-Vice Pres. Dick Cheney had headed) was awarded $131 million in Katrina relief money even though in the previous year the FBI, the Treasury Department, the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense had initiated separate investigations into allegations of overbilling in Iraq and of violating U.S. sanctions by conducting business with Iran. Another politically connected company, Bechtel, was awarded a
contract to build temporary trailers, which cost taxpayers $200,000 each. One study later concluded that the trailers emitted formaldehyde in levels nearly equal to what a professional embalmer would be exposed to. It was a problem so profound that then Rep. Henry Waxman held a congressional oversight hearing about it. “If they had given folks $200,000,” Malek-Wiley said wryly, “we’d have our homes back.” When I revisited the Ninth Ward in the months before Friday’s tenth anniversary of the storm and flooding, fewer than half the prestorm residents have returned. But I’m struck by the number of solar panels I count on rebuilt homes. “As of 2013, there were 2,800 solar panels in New Orleans, 10% of which were in the Ninth Ward,” Malek-Wiley said. “Per capita, that’s five times more solar panels per person than in the rest of city.” I ask about a basketball court shaded by a solar array: “It’s a legacy project from the Super Bowl,” Malek-Wiley explains. Santa Monica-headquartered Global Green USA and the Brad Pitt-funded Make It Right Foundation have built 108 energyefficient and sustainable homes, with more on the way. Global Green created what they called a “greenprint” to “sustainably rebuild schools and homes to be climate-resilient in order to save residents money, improve [their] health and reduce the impact of global climate change that contributed to Katrina.” (Continued on page 32)

Coaching Boys into Men Hit hard by student sex assault allegations in March, Venice High School sports programs are teaching that respect for women is part of the game Story by Joe Piasecki and Gary Walker Photos by Ted Soqui Kids removed from class in handcuffs. Television news crews staked out in front of campus. Headlines from L.A. to New York to London. Allegations that as many as 14 teenage boys, some of them football or basketball players, had repeatedly coerced and sexually assaulted two female classmates shook the very foundations of Venice High School in March.
During a campus community meeting that followed the crisis, Venice High School alumnus Miguel Perez, who played football under Gasca’s leadership, approached administrators with a game plan to teach sexual violence prevention as part of the school’s storied athletics programs. Six months later, they’re putting that plan into action. While preparing his varsity Gondoliers for Friday night’s season opener vs. the Granada Hills Highlanders, Gasca is also implementing the first week of “Coaching
“I addressed the team and we talked about our responsibility to follow the rules — to respect girls and everybody’s right to say no.” — Venice High School football coach Angelo Gasca Though prosecutors ultimately declined to press any charges, soul-searching about what went wrong — and what could be done to keep anything like it from ever happening again — continued among parents and educators. That included veteran Venice High School head football coach Angelo Gasca, who promptly gathered his team for a locker room heart-to-heart. “I addressed the team and we talked about our responsibility to follow the rules — to respect girls and everybody’s right to say no. … I asked the team, ‘What if that was your sister or your mother or someone else who you cared about being victimized?’” Gasca recalled. PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT august 27, 2015
Boys into Men,” a curriculum designed to help coaches talk to their players about showing verbal and physical respect for others — especially women. Weekly discussion topics include preventing disrespectful behavior toward women and girls both in person and online, understanding sexual consent, communicating personal boundaries, leaving aggression on the field and promoting gender equality. The lessons culminate in a coach-and-player pledge to “take a stand against relationship abuse” and “publicly denounce violence against women and girls.” Gasca, who played football at Venice High from 1975 to 1978 and has coached
Venice High School’s storied football program is combining athletics with mentorship about sexual consent and gender equality the team for 20 years, says the program is a good fit for the team. “It’s not that far off from what we tell our guys on a daily basis, but now it’s in the form of an actual curriculum,” Gasca said. “Every football coach is going to spend time talking about discipline, behavior, responsibility and accountability. I think ‘Coaching Boys Into Men’ gives you a clearer, more structured format.” Developed by San Francisco-based nonprofit Futures Without Violence and brought to L.A. through the Ocean Park Community Center, “Coaching Boys into Men” is being piloted with the football team but will be integrated into every VHS boys sports program this year, Perez said. From there he hopes to take the program to other area schools. “This is a tool to share information and ask questions that are open-ended so that the players can discuss it and learn from each other, because coach can’t be everywhere,” Perez said. Perez also helps run the Ocean Park Community Center’s “Brothers Respecting Others” program, which trains adults who interact with kids how to model and advocate for healthy gender dynamics.
Training Venice High school athletics faculty to implement “Coaching Boys into Men” happened quietly and without fanfare earlier this month, but the program is already generating positive reactions in and around campus. “It’s one of the best possible results that could have happened,” said Linda Solieb, whose daughter is a junior at Venice High School. “What happened here was not unique to our school, but this is one of the few times I know of that a school has not buried its head in the sand and has acknowledged what happened.” “I think there’s been a deficit in these kinds of programs in high schools. To have these types of proactive discussions is great,” said Robin Rudisill, a Venice Neighborhood Council member whose daughter graduated from Venice High this spring. David Kent, father of two Venice High basketball players and president of the Friends of the Venice Magnet fundraising group, said he’s heard good things about the program from his sons’ coach. “My wife and I, as well as many of the parents that we know at the high school, have raised our boys to be strong and respectful young men and to be good

Weekly discussions about building healthy personal relationships culminate in a coach-and-player pledge to “publicly denounce violence against women and girls” citizens. But sometimes hearing the same message from someone that a student looks up to and respects, like a coach or teacher, can be equally or more impactful, and it’s a message they can never hear enough, ” Kent said. LAUSD Board of Education President Steve Zimmer, whose district includes Venice High School, is also supportive. “Having coaches and other responsible adults involved with the curriculum could really be a game-changer for the young men at Venice High School. It’s certainly a good start,” Zimmer said. During a locker-room conversation before Monday’s practice, Gasca reflected on the student sexual assault allegations earlier this year and how that situation points up the need to support student participation in athletics as an opportunity for teachable moments. “I certainly was disappointed that it happened at our school. In terms of being a team and a school, it definitely hurt us because a couple of guys on the football team were involved. [But] there were also students who were not athletes, so it’s hard for me to look at it as a sportrelated issue. I look at it more as people
making bad decisions,” Gasca said. “On this team, there’s incredible character. There are probably seven or eight guys who are getting straight As, and they will buy into [‘Coaching Boys into Men’]. We’re very serious about this program,” he said. Growing up in the much rougher Venice of the 1970s, Gasca faced tremendous pressure to join a gang but found a better path through football. “I’ve seen how people can turn themselves around by being part of the team. I was one of those people. I’ve also seen how people who don’t stick to it can do irreparable damage to themselves and their futures. Part of the reason why I want to be at Venice High is because this is my community. I think of how my coaches and teachers inspired me and taught me things that unfortunately some of my friends didn’t take advantage of,” he said. “Everyone’s first inclination when a kid gets in trouble is to take his sport away, like it was a phone,” he said. “Sports might be the one saving grace for that individual. It might be the one thing that makes him redeemable.”

Some 2,500 inflatable art spheres, many of them painted by Westside kids, will populate MacArthur Park Lake throughout September
Spheres of Hope Westside artists and schoolchildren bring color, optimism and collaborative public art to MacArthur Park Lake Story and Photos by Christina Campodonico If you happen to be driving along Wilshire Boulevard and think you’re seeing thousands of giant, brightly colored beach balls floating on MacArthur Park Lake, you aren’t imagining things. Those huge inflatable orbs are actually part of a massive community art project led by brothers Ed and Bernie Massey and their Santa Monica-based nonprofit Portraits of Hope. For “The Spheres at MacArthur Park,” Portraits of Hope installed 200 of these floatables at the park on Saturday, with as many as 2,500 more expected to fill the lake before the end of this week. At the launch celebration, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti gave a dedication that thanked civic leaders and community partners for connecting the city to this “crazy idea.”

There, WNS students worked hand-inhand with children from the Braille Institute, helping them paint the spheres and identify color combinations. Rob Young, who teaches eighth grade social studies at WNS and is the school’s service learning coordinator, recalls that field trip being very special. “It’s very gratifying and humbling to see our students … connect with their peers and to engage in the same task together side-by-side,” said Young. “It’s one thing to talk about empathy and cooperation in the classrooms and another thing to see it organically unfolding.” That ripple effect is already starting to make small waves. Cynthia Cuellar, a high school student in the Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) program, which provides enrichment programs to underserved youth, was excited to see some of her spheres bobbing in the lake on Saturday. “I’m just proud to know that I added a bit of color to Los Angeles,” said Cuellar, who lives a few blocks away from the park. MacArthur Park will continue to shimmer with color over the next month. After that, the spheres will be donated to schools, hospitals and social service organizations. Until then, where some may see beach balls, Ed Massey sees hope and beauty in the park and its surrounding community, “like a garden in full bloom.” Learn more at portraits ofhope.org.

Bin 73
14 W. Washington Blvd., Marina del Rey (310) 827-6209 mercedesgrille.com/bin73.htm The evaluation of presidential candidates is proceeding at a furious pace, with the public (hopefully) scrutinizing the experience each contestant brings to the table. Most discerning voters want to know about the candidates’ foreign policy knowledge, executive skills and experience in government. I want to know if they’ve ever been a server in a restaurant, because that develops communication and negotiation skills that I would want anybody dealing with foreign governments to have. Should she be interested in running, I might be inclined to vote for Cassie from Bin 73. In case you haven’t seen this place, it’s a small patio and smaller bar attached to Mercede’s Grill on Washington Boulevard in Marina del Rey. Mercede’s serves Cuban fusion cuisine and shares a kitchen with Bin 73, but the focus at Bin 73 is on wine and upscale snacks. My brother and I were on the way to another restaurant when we passed Bin 73, and when our destination turned out to be too raucous we remembered passing the cozy front patio a block from the beach. There was one table left and we grabbed it — there are only fourteen seats outside and a few at the bar inside, so we felt lucky. We felt even luckier when Cassie arrived to take our order, since she did all the things a pro does: ask our likes and dislikes before making suggestions, offer tastes of the wines to help us decide, and tell us about some daily special pours that weren’t on the list. The regular list here is oddly imbalanced toward sweet whites, but that night they had a fantastic Sancerre that was easily the best thing on the list. The food at Bin 73 is very reasonably priced, probably because they can assume you’ll have a beverage or two along with it. The menu has a number of meat and cheese boards that

Bin 73 server Cassie Negrete really knows her stuff are very well chosen, but we like to find out about the creativity of the kitchen and so we started with deviled eggs with Greek sausage and a cauliflower gratin tossed with herbed breadcrumbs. I often order deviled eggs, not only because they’re too much trouble to make at home for

your server here was the right thing to do. Two desserts were offered — chocolate liquor truffles and mousse cake ice cream — and so were some interesting dessert wines. We were comfortably full and decided against dessert, but if we had stayed we know what we would have done: asked Cassie. She had earned our trust, which is what a good server can do without debates, interviews or position papers.

course wouldn’t have tired of the flavor. We asked Cassie about the merits of some items, and she tactfully steered us toward the ones that she felt matched our tastes. We had one of the items from the kitchen next door — citrus salmon — and the “Bin Favorite” flatbread with garlic sauce, mushrooms, bacon and red onions, topped with arugula and truffle-sherry vinaigrette. At many places flatbreads are simply rebranded pizzas, but this one without cheese or tomato sauce had so many flavors that were out of that realm that it had to be taken on its own terms. It was a successful cross between a sandwich and a salad, with a different balance of elements in every bite. The citrus salmon was somewhat confusingly described so that it appeared that the fish, capers, mushrooms and truffle fries would all be served over a bed of grilled spinach. The fries with truffle oil, parmesan and herbs are actually served on the side, which is as it should be because they were a crisp counterpoint to the moist fish and vegetables. There were so many flavors in the

Straight Outta Lawndale Punky surf rockers represent for the ‘burbs at Liquid Kitty’s Punk Rock BBQ By Michael Aushenker After Black Flag members Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski took punk’s DIY ethos further than other bands and formed their own distribution channel in the 1980s, their SST Records became a prestige boutique label for the post-punk contingent — bands like Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, The Meat Puppets and The Dead Milkmen. And then there was Lawndale, a bunch of South Bay oddballs warping Venturesinspired surf instrumentals. Even for SST, this band was kinda crazy. Even crazier is that Lawndale still rocks on, now as a Westside band, with three quarters of its original lineup in place — Culver City’s Jack Skelley (guitar/ bass), plus Santa Monicans Steve Housden (guitar/bass) and Dave Childs (percussion) — and Mark Hoeschler (guitar/bass taking over for Rick Lawndale since 2009. Lawndale is one of several acts playing the summer Punk Rock BBQ on Sunday at Liquid Kitty, co-owned by Childs. Trulio Disgracias (fronted by Fishbone’s Norwood Fisher), The Last, Black Widows, Sylvia Juncosa and House of Rabbits are also on the extended bill, a no-cover event that features $2 PBRs and free hotdogs. “We’re not strictly surf rock. It’s a really combination of genres. The songs move really quickly,” says Skelley. Formerly the performing arts director for Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center in Venice and the executive editor / associate publisher for the Downtown News, Skelley continues to write and currently helms a public relations firm. JSPR, that’s worked with clients such as Playa Vista and the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate. Lawndale formed in 1984, swiping the name of the original experiment in suburbia down in the South Bay. It was meant as a goof on pompous city-monikered rock acts such as Boston and Chicago. As the band’s label man and agent, Dukowski added Lawndale to countless bills.
Childs escaped dull day jobs by partnering with a friend to run Liquid Kitty, and around 2002 someone suggested that he book Fish Camp, his band with Dukowski, to play his own joint. That’s how the venue’s Punk Rock BBQs began, with Childs eschewing self-aggrandizement by packing the bills with several old-school and up-and-coming bands. Originally an annual celebration, Punk Rock BBQs became so popular that Childs now throws them on a quarterly basis. “It’s like being in your living room,” Childs says. “It’s kind of like a perk that I get to play here. Lawndale re-formed and a lot of people wanted to see it, so I said, ‘That’s cool.’” Lawndale thrives despite many bumps in the road. Following their 2006 Dave Childs, Steve Housden, Jack Skelley and Rick Lawndale back reunion, Childs suffered a herniated disc in the punk rock 1980s that temporarily sidelined him, his kit gathering dust for a “really depressing” “They fit in on almost any sort of show,” referenced and undercut “that iconic year as he recovered from surgery. Dukowski says. “They always added suburbia image.” Childs returned to the band in full form something special to an event, offering an Many leading surf rock practitioners in 2009, only to learn that Rick Lawndale enjoyable break from vocal music.

Nevertheless, with played short-ish sets and were real nice the Pacific and the arty weirdness of Hoeschler filling out his rhythm section, people to deal with.” Venice probably the catalyst.

‘The Orpheus Clock’ Diesel Bookstore celebrates Simon Goodman’s absorbing memoir of tracking down a massive collection of family artworks looted during the Holocaust Photo Courtesy of the Goodman Family
Simon Goodman’s Fritz Guttman and father and grandfather Louise von Landau in in Amsterdam, 1923 Baden Baden, 1913 All that gives human dimension to what otherwise might be an intellectual detective exercise — Where are the paintings? Who smuggled the titular clock? — and grounds the book in his very relatable mission to know the grandparents he never met, and to understand the father made

By Bliss Bowen When Simon Goodman and his brother Nick received corrugated containers from their father Bernard’s estate in 1994, they had no inkling they were opening Pandora’s proverbial box. Their emotionally distant father had lived in “genteel poverty” in Europe, so they were stunned to learn they were descendants of what had once been one of Germany’s wealthiest banking families — and that Bernard had invested many years in attempting to reclaim the enormous collection of Renaissance and Impressionist paintings, jewelry, china, pottery, tapestries, rugs, furniture, sculptures and Medieval-era silver stolen from his parents by the Nazis when Holland was absorbed into the Third Reich in 1939. With the aid of Bernard’s records, newly declassified government documents, museum catalogs and the Internet, Simon Goodman embarked on a journey of discovery of not only the lost art, but also of his connection with his family. “The Orpheus Clock: The Search for My Family’s Art Treasures Stolen by the Nazis” is his compellingly told account of the groundbreaking search made by the Goodman brothers and their aunt Lili. “Many times,” Goodman writes, “I felt I had inherited what appeared to be ancestral memories.” Their story may sound familiar. The family’s case regarding a Degas painting in 1998 inspired a State Department-convened international conference that resulted in the establishment of “standards for resolving issues of Nazi-confiscated art,” known as the Washington Principles. The Goodmans have been the subject of many newspaper reports, an Emmy-winning “60 Minutes” segment, and a British documentary, 2000’s “Making a Killing.” (Goodman credits the power of the press with increasing pressure on governments and museums reluctant to part with their treasures.) Similar terrain was covered in the recent films “Woman in Gold” and “The Monuments Men” — the latter based on Robert M. Edsel’s 2010 bestseller, concerning a special AmericanBritish force of art historians and museum directors who are singled out for praise by Goodman. Yet Goodman’s decision to devote the first third of “Orpheus Clock” to oft-covered WWII terrain was wise, as the particulars of his once-powerful family’s experience root his story in deeper emotional soil. Through meticulous research, he reconstructs their history and explains how his widely respected great-grandfather, Eugen Gutmann, built up one of the most successful banks in Europe; and places his grandparents, Fritz and Louise Gutmann, in detailed social and historical context that helps convey the dread that builds with the Nazis’ inexorable approach.
Simon Goodman
Their exhausting, sometimes bitter pursuit places them at odds with recalcitrant collectors, culture ministers and museums on both sides of the Atlantic. The lessons of history it imparts are sobering. Seventy decades after the fact, stories like the Goodmans’ reveal that the Nazis not only
“By allowing entire countries to be accessories to the greatest crime in history, the Nazis knew that everybody would also have to be part of the greatest cover-up.” — Simon Goodman untouchably remote by their murder. Even while knowing their roads ultimately lead to Theresienstadt concentration camp, Goodman’s clear, sophisticated prose and pacing keep you turning pages to learn their fates. “The effort to reclaim these works was not only an attempt to recover a vestige of our rich family heritage, but also our way of proving that, despite the Nazis’ having so nearly destroyed our history, they had ultimately failed,” Goodman writes, after he, Nick and Lili have successfully sued for restitution of some Gutmann paintings.
perpetrated genocide of unprecedented scale, they also committed systematic theft so massive its scope is still being uncovered. “The postwar governments of countries once occupied by the Germans were afraid that once restitution started, there would be no end. … From my grandfather’s Botticelli and Hispano-Suiza sedan down to the brooms and brushes in the kitchen — Jewish clothes, books, furniture, apartments, jewelry, shops, cars, businesses, bicycles, everything, including the pots and pans, had been divided
among a willing population. By allowing entire countries to be accessories to the greatest crime in history, the Nazis knew that everybody would also have to be part of the greatest cover-up.” Tracking down lost Guttman artworks becomes a globetrotting adventure. The Dutch government ultimately returned about 250 pieces, including Fritz Guttman’s mahogany shaving stand, which was used as a flowerpot by a German dealer instrumental in helping the Nazis loot art collections. As Goodman articulately chronicles where individual pieces traveled, it’s fascinating to ponder differences in meaning they held for successive owners. His search raises provocative questions about identity, family and the value of art — which, he discovers, is a cold business. Many people didn’t — and still don’t —comprehend what its loss signifies to heirs of Holocaust victims, nor the sense of justice stirred by the art’s return. “The looting of all the possessions of the Jews, especially their money and their art, was intrinsically linked to their annihilation,” he writes. “This was barely understood in the years immediately after the war. Accordingly, art looting was considered a bloodless crime.” Obviously, it was anything but. Goodman does encounter collectors and museums that return his family’s art because they do not want blood on their hands. Reading those passages of light, at a time when people around the world are still enslaved, tortured and killed for the crime of existence, inspires some hope. Meet Simon Goodman at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, during a pre-publication party for “The Orpheus Clock” at Diesel Bookstore in the Brentwood Country Mart, 225 26th St., Ste. 33, Santa Monica.

Art for the Soul at The Upper West What happens when soul music, soul food and soulmates combine for a good cause in Santa Monica? A “Soul Revolution,” according to Resonate Church artistin-residence Bobbie Rich. If you’ve noticed the giant pair of neon green sunglasses on the beach while taking in a Santa Monica Twilight Pier Concert, you can thank Resonate LA’s Art Outreach for this fun, interactive sculpture where visitors can leave personal messages on the oversized chalkboard lenses. The sunglasses are the icon of Resonate LA’s larger, three-month “Summer of Soul” adventure, culminating this Sunday with a the “Soul Revolution” fundraiser at The Upper West restaurant in Santa Monica. Sunday’s festivities include the display and sale of whimsical original art pieces featuring eye-catching images of people chilling in their sunglasses. Each of the canvases are selling for $99 each, with proceeds benefitting Resonate LA’s Art Outreach and Compassion International, a Christian-based nonprofit organization tackling child poverty around the world. The art-buying frenzy will begin at 4 p.m. sharp, then it’s time to fill your stomach with soul food and cocktails, with 30% of restaurant receipts going to the two charities. — Shanee Edwards

That “greenprint” has been so effective that in 2009 TIME magazine wrote “…no organization is doing more to green New Orleans than Global Green USA.” “Is there any other place in the U.S. with 105 LEED-certified homes in such close proximity?” Malek-Wiley asks, referring to the homes Global Green and Make It Right have built that meet high environmental standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council. But even among the optimism, remnants of old house foundations protrude from the ground at odd angles like tombstones. Weedcovered homes persist in reminding the community of what was lost. Angry protests of the residents’ betrayal pop up at odd places. One new roof is spraypainted “We love you, Jesus. The Crafts Family OK. We need gas, ice, water.” A hand-scrawled sign outside a home at the foot of the St. Clairbourne Bridge reads “We want our country to love us as much as we love our country.” Michelle Pyne, an organizer for Global Green who moved to the Ninth Ward four years ago to support the community’s rebuilding, shows me the new community center they are building. It will include an exhibit about climate change — about how the gulf’s warming increases the number and intensity of hurricanes and flooding. Global Green also works with the neighborhood to keep rainwater on-site through catch barrels, cisterns, rain gardens, manmade wetlands and bio-swales, the earthen, non-concrete gutters that absorb runoff. “The focus has changed from [re]building to storm-water management,” Pyne explains as we walk through nearby community gardens. “We’re recharging the groundwater rather than relying on the [levees’] pumps.” It’s an uphill battle: The Louisiana coast loses wetlands at the rate of “a football field every 30 minutes,” says the Sierra Club’s Malek-Wiley. “Not from one place. It’s a little here, a little there … cumulative. But we now have an urban water plan. We never had that before.” He notes that after the devastation that water brought to millions of New Orleaneans, “We now have new ways to live with water.” Kelly Hayes-Raitt, a Santa Monica resident, spent two weeks helping to clean up the Ninth Ward in March 2009 and revisited in March this year. She’s incorporating her interviews into a book about refugees and blogs at LivingLargeInLimbo.com. She can be reached at KellyArgonautColumn@aol.com.
