To Our Cherished Community and Neighbors, FantaSea Yachts would like to offer our deepest apologies for the disturbance last Tuesday night. The eight minute firework show was not contracted by us, not coordinated by us, nor launched from our yacht and in fact we had no role in the fireworks at all other than to specifically tell the client NO fireworks. But the birthday party itself was aboard one of our yachts and we feel terrible for what happened even if it was outside our control. FantaSea Yachts is a family business going on now 36 years with 3 generations of family members working together. During these years, we have had the honor of having many thousands of successful events aboard our yachts without incident. We take what we do very seriously and very much care about our neighbors and community. On behalf of all of us at FantaSea Yachts, we sincerely apologize for the fear and noise caused by the fireworks and will do everything in our power to make sure something like this NEVER happens again. Sincerely, Uri, Daniel & Stephanie Ginzburg

L e t t e r s People First, Cars Second Re: “Chick-Fil-A finds a beef in Westchester,” news, Aug. 27 I’m alright with Chick-Fil-A opening a place in Westchester at the former Grinder spot, but why does it have to be a drive-thru? Westchester already has one drive-thru, an In-N-Out Burger, and that is enough. The line of cars just waiting to get onto the restaurant site makes Sepulveda Westway impassible. Isn’t this some kind of illegal hazard: to consistently block a public street for private business? The Chick-Fil-A drive-thru

would spill out onto Manchester Avenue, adding to the worsening traffic gridlock of Westchester from Playa Vista, a short couple miles to the north, and the increasing vehicle traffic to LAX. At the In-N-Out Burger, vehicles idling while slowly creeping through the drive-thru are operating at their worst, meaning they are polluting at their most. If Chick-Fil-A is serious about being a good neighbor, they would recognize that creating excess pollution from multitudes of idling cars at their drive-thru is not neighborly.

This also perpetuates the worst of Los Angeles and Westchester: everyone is in their cars, and you don’t see people on the street. The city is becoming increasingly mechanized and losing its humanity. We are secluded behind the glass and metal of cars, mad and crazed at bad drivers and gridlock. We are not out and about walking and interacting on a human level. The food truck events in downtown Westchester are so popular precisely because people are not eating in their cars but are out in the open, acting and reacting in

an urban setting as we did for eons until we locked ourselves in our cars and locked out the outside world. Interesting and vital neighborhoods are those which made the commitment to put people first and vehicles second. Think the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, the Grove in the Fairfax District, downtown Culver City or Westchester’s Council District No. 11 neighbor the Venice Boardwalk. By allowing another drive-thru in Westchester it becomes a race to the safe and lazy, and sliding to

FROM THE WEB Re: “Suspicious Package Prompts Bomb Scare at Whole Foods Playa Vista,” web exclusive, Aug. 27 It was crazy. At my school, Animo Westside Charter Middle School, people were terrified and some of the kids were crying due to the bomb threat. Nathan You should instruct your teachers to teach the difference between fear and real danger. There wasn’t a bomb — ever. There was a black bag with a voltage meter on it. It probably belonged to a workman since that entire area is still in construction, even part of that garage. There was never any danger, but people start to be afraid and create stories that are based on their emotions, not reality, not what’s actually taking place. All that happened was that police investigated and destroyed a bag because it’s better to be safe. But I’ll bet everyone reading this described the event based on what they feared was happening and not what was actually happening. And now you and everyone else are afraid of a story you created in your head and are believing as if it is real. But it’s not. This way of thinking can be applied to just about every aspect of one’s life. Jack

the lowest common denominator. If Westchester is truly interested in becoming a neighborhood of note and worth, and not just a highway town on the way to LAX with plenty of drive-thrus, then put people first and cars second. Matthew Hetz, Westchester

Re: “Khloe Kardashian’s Midnight Fireworks Surprise is a Wake-Up Call,” web exclusive, Aug. 26 I think every single resident who was inconvenienced should individually file a small claims action against the pyrotechnic company and against Ms. Kardashian. If they want to steal our sleep and ruin our nights, let’s see how many of their days we can tie up in court while we seek justice. Mark Kleiman (Continued on page 6)

Julie Fleckenstein Thomas Poster (Continued from page 4)

Selfish, self-aggrandizing egotists! Very bad PR; very bad neighbors. Mir Faugno Aside from yet another Kardashian behaving selfishly and just being obnoxious, FantaSea certainly has ownership in this as does the party planner, the pyrotechnic company, etc. Clearly these businesses don’t care about the hardworking members of our community. I hope and pray that our city and county leaders do not let this slide and exercise/support the rights of the community to the

fullest extent. I also hope that if there is loose language in existing policies that they get rewritten. Christine Great Line: “Government Couldn’t Keep up with the Kardashians.” Roxanne It was horrible and rude and unnecessary. Whoever did it should be fined for disturbing the peace and quiet in the neighborhood — and at midnight! Lois The county could let the fireworks companies know that if

they want to do business with the county, perhaps these kinds of exhibits might not be good for business.

By Gary Walker and Joe Piasecki County prosecutors have charged the owner of the Cadillac Hotel with murder following a deadly late-night shooting on the Venice boardwalk that killed one homeless man and injured another. Sris Sinnathamby, 54, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday during his arraignment at the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Airport Branch in Westchester. Bail was set at $1 million and he returns to court Oct. 14, L.A. County District Attorney’s office spokeswoman Jane Robison said. The shooting occurred at about 2 a.m. Sunday outside the Cadillac Hotel at the corner of Dudley Avenue and Ocean Front Walk, LAPD officer Drake Madison said. Officers responding to the shooting found 26 year-old Jascent-Jamal Lee Warren dead at the scene. A second shooting victim in his 40s was wounded in the leg and taken to a local hospital for treatment. LAPD officers arrested Sinnathamby at about 8 a.m. Sunday, according to jail records. A source close to the investigation who did not wish to be identified said witnesses have told police that Sinnathamby did not fire the shots but was with the gunman, a Latino male who fled the scene and is still at large. The source said witnesses also told police that directly prior to the shooting a group of homeless people had gathered on the boardwalk near the hotel and Sinnathamby was ordering them not to sleep there. A woman who said she witnessed the shooting told the Los Angeles Times that she saw and heard Sinnathamby order the unidentified gunman to shoot at the homeless men. “It appears that some type of argument ensued with some of the locals on the boardwalk, and that’s when shots were fired,” LAPD officer Mike Lopez said. L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice, condemned Warren’s killing, calling it “an outrageous and

L.A. County Orders Probe of Kardashian Fireworks Show Yacht party’s surprise midnight pyrotechnics rattled residents of Marina del Rey and beyond Photo by Neil Budde

By Gary Walker An eight-minute professional fireworks display launched outside the Marina del Rey breakwater at 11:59 p.m. last Tuesday as entertainment for a Kardashian family yacht party has local leaders asking which government agency should have been keeping up with the Kardashians — as in keeping them quiet. The surprise series of explosions during reality TV personality Khloe Kardashian’s Aug. 25 birthday party for NBA-star boyfriend James Harden woke up, startled and confused residents up and down the L.A. coastline, prompting noise complaints from Pacific Palisades to Palos Verdes and as far inland as Mar Vista. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this Tuesday to investigate how the fireworks display was able to happen and whether the incident points up a need to revise interagency cooperation protocols. “I’m interested in finding out where the process broke down. We want to see if there’s something that we could look at and improve in the notification process,” said L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe, who represents Marina del Rey and called for the probe last week. Knabe called on L.A. County Fire Chief Darryl Osby to present a strategic plan detailing better coordination among county, city and federal agencies “to ensure that an event of this nature is not repeated.” The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has also opened an investigation into the Kardashian fireworks show to determine whether it violated any local ordinances, Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said. “There are no local ordinances which specifically regulate the use of legal fireworks in waterways outside of the lines or demarcation offshore. However, loud disturbances are addressed in section 415 of the California Penal Code,” Nishida said.

A burst from Tuesday night’s eight-minute Kardashian fireworks show as seen from Playa del Rey U.S Coast Guard Senior Chief Brenda Doris said the federal agency typically requires permits for events in open waters if they could have an impact on public safety or travel lanes, but nothing about the Kardashian’s plans triggered the federal permit process. “We were notified by the pyrotechnics company about the event, and that’s usually who we deal with,” Doris said.

tion to control an event outside the breakwater. “The Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station and Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors would be the agencies responsible if there was a request for a fireworks event inside the lines of [L.A. County] demarcation or inside the Marina del Rey breakwater. The [Sheriff’s department] does not have legal standing to approve or

“We specifically told them: ‘No fireworks.’” — FantaSea Yachts owner Daniel Ginsberg

“Unfortunately, we have no jurisdiction over noise ordinances. There were no violations as far as any federal statutes were concerned.” Nishida said event planners notified the Sheriff’s and county Fire departments about the party, but neither had jurisdic-

deny fireworks applications or permits outside the breakwater,” Nishida said. TMZ has reported that Kardashian clan matriarch Kris Jenner’s Boulevard Management produced the party. An employee at Boulevard Management said the production company wasn’t taking any

calls about it. The Argonaut is still seeking to identify the pyrotechnics company. The Kardashians rented their party boat from Marina del Rey-based FantaSea Yachts, but the fireworks were launched from a different boat without the companies blessing or knowledge, FantaSea owner Daniel Ginsberg told The Argonaut. “We specifically told them: ‘No fireworks,’” Ginsberg said. “This came as a surprise to us, and I’m not surprised at all that people are mad. I’m angry too.” Ginsberg said the company, located in the marina for 35 years, has been taking heat from locals over the Kardashian fiasco. “We love Marina del Rey and we’ve always been very careful with our parties. It was a normal party until the fireworks,” he said. “This was the fourth party that we’ve done for James Harden, but this time the Kardashians were involved.” TMZ and other news outlets have reported that some Marina del Rey residents are planning to sue Khloe Kardashian and Jenner’s production company in small claims court for emotional distress due to the fireworks. A search of county court records at press time did not turn up any evidence that any such claims had been filed. L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin, who had quickly decried the Kardashian fireworks show on Twitter as “#stupidrude,” praised Knabe for launching the county investigation. “I’m very grateful that Supervisor Knabe is trying to reform whatever glitches may exist in the system. I would certainly like for city officials to get a heads-up and the courtesy of knowing when an event like this is happening,” Bonin said. “No matter the occasion,” Knabe said, “the decision to launch fireworks at midnight — especially on a weekday — shows a lack of common sense and civility.” gary@argonautnews.com

Cedars-Sinai Buys Marina Del Rey Hospital

Cow’s End Café Owner Injured Again in Skirmish with Homeless Man Five months ago, the 72-year-old owner of The Cow’s End Café had a fingertip bitten off by a homeless man who attacked him inside his popular Venice Beach coffee shop. Now Clabe Hartley is recovering from an Aug. 24 attack at his 14 W. Washington Blvd. eatery — this time after a mentally disturbed transient broke a molded resin patio chair against his head, causing a concussion and a gash that required staples to close. Hartley described the man as “a 250-pound mental case, arms the size of thighs, always walking around angry” who frequently intimidated passersby and repeatedly scattered contents of a trash can outside The Cow’s End. The man was again scattering trash at around 3:30 p.m. last Monday when Hartley came out to ask why.

Marina Del Rey Hospital will continue to provide emergency room services Marina Del Rey Hospital will continue to provide all existing services, including its 24/7 emergency room and specialty areas such as spine care, women’s health, orthopedics, weightloss and minimally invasive surgery. “The current senior leadership at the hospital will remain in place,” said Michael Miller, Marina Del Rey Hospital’s director of communications. “We will continue to operate as an independent hospital in Marina del Rey.” Cedar-Sinai’s recent Westside expansion has also included opening and urgent care facility near Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. — Gary Walker

Weeks after unveiling plans to open a 32,000-square-foot medical facility in the Runway at Playa Vista retail and entertainment complex, CedarsSinai Medical Center on Tuesday announced the purchase of Marina Del Rey Hospital for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition will convert Marina Del Rey Hospital, previously owned by the L.A.-based private investment firm Westridge Capital, to nonprofit status. According to Cedars-Sinai, all 660 employees of the 145-bed hospital will remain employed by Marina Del Rey Hospital, which will operate as a distinct Cedars-Sinai affiliate.

Speeding Corvette Crashes into MdR Gas Station A brand-new silver Corvette with smoke billowing from its engine smashed into several cars at high velocity early Saturday morning before striking a metal safety post protecting a gas pump at the Shell gas station on Fiji Way. Westchester resident Ryan Cliver was driving southbound on Lincoln Boulevard at around 9 a.m. when he noticed the sports car speeding toward him. “I saw this huge cloud of smoke moving toward me. Then I heard this ‘bang, bang,’ where he hit at least three cars when he got to Lincoln and Fiji Way,” Cliver said.

The driver of the 2015 Corvette was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-andrun, Sgt. O.C. Smith of the LAPD’s West Traffic Bureau said. Despite the multiple collisions and significant front-end damage to the Corvette, the driver suffered only minor injuries and no one else was hurt, Smith said. On his way home, Cliver noticed the driver had left something on the boulevard about a quarter mile from the gas station, near Ballona Creek. “I saw his hood lying on the street [near the bridge over Lincoln] before I passed the Culver Loop,” Cliver said. — Gary Walker Photo by Ryan Cliver

“He said I was giving people cancer and he was going to change that. He said, ‘It’s time for you to get killed … you’re going to die,’ and approached me,” Hartley said. “I knew he was going to throw down on me. I had a can of pepper spray in my pocket. He was maybe two feet away, and I sprayed him in his eyes. It didn’t affect him whatsoever. He said, ‘Is that the best you got?’” Hartley said he kicked the man’s midsection to push him away and went back into the restaurant. But by the time Hartley reached the coffee counter, the man “grabbed one of my chairs outside and threw it from the middle of the sidewalk inside the store with such velocity that, when it hit me, a leg broke off of it,” Hartley said. LAPD officers who happened to be driving by the restaurant as the chair was thrown immediately arrested the man, Hartley said. “As a civilized society we have an obligation to take care of those who can’t help themselves. But there are people who can and choose not to, who steal and do drugs,” Hartley said. “The LAPD is doing the best they can, but they can’t do it all,” he said. “I want to get a conversation going on how we can get City Hall to implement ordinances that are preventive rather than waiting until something like this happens. When the whole neighborhood knows you’re dealing with a psycho but you can’t take them off the street and get them treatment until they commit a crime, there’s something wrong with that.” — Joe Piasecki

Chick-Fil-A Flies the Coop in Westchester A months-long battle of wills between Chick-Fil-A and city planning officials has ended with the fast-food chain cancelling its plan to open a drive-thru restaurant at the boarded-up former Grinder location near the corner of Manchester Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. Zoning rules specific to downtown Westchester have long prohibited new restaurant drive-thrus in the area. Despite support for the restaurant from several community organizations, Chick-Fil-A’s proposal had been in limbo due largely to L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin’s refusal to grant a zoning exemption. In a written statement to The Argonaut, Chick-Fil-A confirmed their decision to pull out of lease negotiations for the property. “After careful consideration, we have decided not to further pursue a new restaurant site at Sepulveda and Manchester due to many factors, including the logistical

challenges with drive-thru approval,” company officials wrote. Cyndi Hench, president of the Neighborhood Council of Westchester – Playa, said ChickFil-A’s withdrawal is a missed opportunity for Westchester. “I think that it is unfortunate for our community, as I believe that [Chick-Fil-A] is a good neighbor and contributor to the community. The jobs that they create serve as good entry-level jobs for youth in the communities where they operate,” Hench said. “I am optimistic that a good business that is a good fit for the neighborhood would love to operate here, and my team and I are actively working to bring a business to the site that fits into the thriving pedestrianfriendly neighborhood center we are working to create,” Bonin said. — Gary Walker

Why I Sued the LAPD

My press pass didn’t seem to matter when I was tackled, cuffed and belittled during the sweep to rid Occupy protesters from L.A. City Hall Photo by Ted Soqui

By Calvin Milam I worked for City News Service (CNS), an Associated Press-like wire service for local and regional news, as both a reporter and an editor for nearly a quarter-century. Before that, I worked for the now long-defunct but still widely respected Los Angeles HeraldExaminer. But after being arrested in the LAPD’s military-like sweep to rid L.A. City Hall’s lawn of Occupy protesters in late November 2011, I realized no one was going to stand up for me: Not my employer, not my union, not other media outlets. I’m now unemployed, bankrupt and living on a 75-year-old sailboat in Marina del Rey. Here’s how it happened: I had been filing stories about the Occupy demonstration for most of the day, and later that night after showing a police officer my LAPD media pass I crossed a line formed by police to keep demonstrators at bay. However, I was quickly pounced upon by officers dressed in riot gear. They threw me to the ground, handcuffed me, verbally belittled me, and then arrested me. They tried to say I did not show my pass and that I was drunk. Fortunately, a video surfaced on YouTube that refuted police allegations that I was drunk,

LAPD officers surround Occupy protesters during the 2011 sweep of L.A City Hall belligerent and not acting as a reporter should. Superstar attorney Mark Geragos plucked me from obscurity and represented me in a fight to clear my name. Maybe now, I thought, I could weather this total loss of face. So I stayed silent, stuck it out and did my job the best I could. I wasn’t sure if this would destroy me. But, ultimately, it did. My relationships at work went to hell, owing chiefly to the arrest. I deeply regretted no one at CNS ever publicly responding to police claims that I was drunk and belligerent that night. No one at work had seen me take a

drink in more than 20 years. They knew I had acted professionally. Yet, they did nothing to defend my honor. Instead, they allowed the fabricated police version of events to stand in the eyes of the public and my peers. I was haunted by the words of the arresting cops. Before I even hit the pavement, one was saying, “Looks like we’ve got a drunk reporter here.” Later, some Metro officers promised I would lose my job. They had fun humiliating me, at one point joking about parading me in front of my media colleagues. I still had faith in good and right prevailing and remained patient.

But after being put on restricted duty at work, I filed a lawsuit against the LAPD in state court in 2012. Eventually, I was let go with some inane explanation that CNS couldn’t afford me. Not long after filing the lawsuit, bizarre things happened. One was I was audited by the IRS for the first time. There were computer hackings. Suffice it to say, I’ve been emotionally and professionally gutted since that 2011 incident. My case alleging use of excessive force by LAPD was eventually moved to U.S. District Court, and on July 29 I settled my federal civil rights lawsuit against the city for $50,000 — chump change for ending a career, but this was all I was going to get. About the same time, syndicated editorial cartoonist Ted Rall was being fired from the Los Angeles Times for supposedly exaggerating in a blog an encounter with police more than a decade ago. Rall claims a cop handcuffed him and roughed him up after a jaywalking incident in October 2001. Rall has written about this a number of times, but now the police say they have a tape of the encounter, one which depicts the officer as just doing his job and not cuffing Rall, as the cartoonist claims. Rall, who has had the tape

analyzed by independent experts, has taken to social media to defend his honor, but few media outlets seem interested in covering it. I don’t know all the facts, but, right or wrong, it appears Rall now has the same stink on him. It’s been observed that newspapers are dying. Sadly, so are the democratic principles that led to their creation — truth, justice, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, right down to the pursuit of happiness. I’m the lucky one. Not because I got a bag of filthy lucre, but more because I still have a voice and am unafraid to use it. The rest of the suckers — the millions of Americans without a voice and mercilessly ground up by our failing institutions; the cops, the courts, the press — just have to take their lumps and live in silent fear. For some reason, I keep thinking of Pericles’ funeral oration honoring Athenian war dead. In it he glorifies those killed at the hands of the Spartans at the end of the first year of the Peloponnesian War in 431 BC, telling the citizenry that it is noble to defend their democracy, their way of life, that it’s something worth fighting for. Can the same be said for our form of democracy?

The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 2015

The upside of the Kardashians’ midnight Marina del Rey fireworks show: Another reason to despise them By Tony Peyser One of the most stunning events in Westside history was the Great Los Angeles Air Raid on Feb. 24 and 25, 1942, an overnight attack on the City of Angels by the Japanese that resulted in an unforgettably explosive anti-artillery barrage. Cooler heads at the time (and historians since) downgraded “The Battle of Los Angeles” to false-alarm status and merely an “alleged” attack. The panic was understandable, since Pearl Harbor had happened just a few months earlier and everybody across the nation was just a tad jittery. There hasn’t been a similar moment of local beachside panic

in many decades, but last Tuesday night gave us a contender. Even as the smoke is still clearing, it’s already achieved a

The original “Swing Era” was dominated by bandleaders like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw; future icons Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra all paid dues singing with swing ensembles. In the late 1990s, a swing revival briefly exploded and gave career legs to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Royal Crown Revue and ex-Stray Cat Brian Setzer. Frank launched her Lindy by the Sea school during that ‘90s revival, shortly after returning home from two years in the United Kingdom, when she toured 51 cities and five countries dancing with Glenn Miller’s band (which was fronted by his brother).

Anne Ramis’ mixed-media canvas “Dance Moves” exemplifies the textured, dream-like landscapes of her “Contexting” exhibit

Earth and Beyond From canvases layered like rock strata to photos taken in space, three artists explore our place in the universe By Shanee Edwards From a personal, human landscape to a cosmic, celestial one, three female artists — Lorraine Bubar, Anne Ramis and Pam Douglas — endeavor to interpret humanity’s connection to Earth and the universe beyond in exhibits of new paintings at TAG Gallery in Santa Monica’s Bergamot Arts Center. Bubar’s “Not Home” explores how urban life affects the human experience, especially as we, along with other species, adjust to the loss of habitable land. From the hexagonal honeycomb cells built by honeybees to the ever-shifting shapes of serpents, Bubar’s imagery is beautifully dense and complex. Influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, Bubar’s textured, layered work on colored paper creates surfaces as intrigu-

ing and storied as Earth’s own layers of rock strata that can only be fully appreciated in person with the naked eye. But there’s more to see than just pretty textures, she says. “Even though there are contemporary

create something similar to a giant piece of lace. “I just start layering the paper from the back so each piece has eight or ten layers of paper, creating a lot of texture and depth within,” she says.

“It seems every aspect of our lives is surrounded by insecurity right now.” — Lorraine Bubar images and contemporary subject matter, it reverts back to a historical and global craft and crosses the border of culture, craft and politics,” Bubar said of her work. Her process involves using an X-ACTO knife to makes cuts in paper she’s collected from various Asian countries to

For this particular exhibit, Bubar really wanted to examine the concept of home. “I realized that many people and animals in the world don’t have the security of home, which is why I call [my exhibit] ‘Not Home,” she says. Some of Bubar’s artwork deals with the decrease in the bee and Monarch

W e e k

butterfly populations, but she’s also worried about humans, too. One thing that surprised Bubar when she settled on her theme was how urgent the topic was. “Homelessness, migration of people in Europe, the earthquake in Nepal — there are so many news stories, and, even driving around L.A., seeing the increase of tent cities. It’s just so sad,” Bubar says. “The piece I have with the two snakes called ‘Going Out’ really has to do with security and the dangers of just going out — all the dangers that lurk, especially for women. It seems every aspect of our lives is surrounded by insecurity right now.” Anne Ramis’ exhibit, called “Contexting,” pushes the literal earthly terrain into a surreal, personal landscape and addresses aspects of world culture. Her use of abstract, even Dada-esque collage, juxtaposes images that are both organic and architectural, showing her unique point of view. Pam Douglas’ “Galaxies” exhibit takes inspiration from NASA’s Hubble Telescope, marking its 25th anniversary of peering deep into the heavens. Douglas’ mixed-media art combines Hubble photos of distant galaxies with more philosophically influenced images, like that of a smiling Buddha who juggles the stars above his head. As beautiful and thought-provoking as these images are, Douglas felt she was taking a giant risk by integrating the photographs, something she had never done in her previous work. “I’ve always felt daunted to do anything with them because those images from the Hubble and other telescopes are complete in themselves. But this year I thought that I found a way of actually interacting with them, embracing them, while letting them have all their beauty and allowing for the idea that humanity does have a connection to the stars — as they say, we are all star dust,” Douglas says. Like Bubar, Douglas also hopes to bring out a deeper meaning in the artwork. “There’s so much trouble in the world that the notion of inspiring viewers and myself to look beyond those problems to what the greater view is, what the greater potential is, is something I’d like to put out there,” she says. Despite the vast, awe-inspiring nature of Hubble’s images, Douglas eschews the idea that looking into deep space makes humans feel small. “I would go the opposite direction and say that because we are able to see the images and begin to understand them, we are growing,” she says. “We are more than small Earth beings, and our consciousness can be as large as the universe.” “Galaxies,” “Not Home” and “Contexting” are on view through Sept. 26 at TAG Gallery in Bergamot Station Arts Center, 2525 Michigan Ave., Ste. D-3, Santa Monica. An opening reception for the exhibits is from 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, and the artists give a talk at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Stiff L.A. Drinks, Loose Island Vibe Sunny Spot’s new craft cocktail menu shines a light on the power of rum Photo by Jorge M. Vargas Jr.

Sunny Spot

822 Washington Blvd., Venice (310) 448-8884 sunnyspotvenice.com Everything “L.A. Son” and multi-restaurant chef/owner Roy Choi touches turns to gold in this town, doesn’t it? In the case of Sunny Spot restaurant in Venice, it turns to rum. Behind Sunny Spot’s high walls on Washington Boulevard is an indoor-outdoor dining room that, like many of Choi’s endeavors, gracefully highlights the foodways of different cultures without appropriating them. Prior to a month ago, Sunny Spot’s Caribbean-themed food menus and drink lists remained roughly the same since the restaurant opened a few years back. But on a recent visit, a revamped drink menu dropped on our table, and it changed the course of our evening. Ladies and Gentlemen, start your Ubers. Chris Getz, the five month’snew general manager of Sunny Spot, is making some userfriendly upgrades to the drinks menu and overall atmosphere of the space as a warmup before taking on the larger task of reworking the solid but aging food menu. He and team re-launched the drinks first because, as Getz explains, bartenders Brian Butler and Aaron Mendoza were in place and ready to make creative changes. They came out swinging with overproof rum and strong pours, and even today with a live menu, they’re still making tweaks to fine-tune more octane performance into each glass. All of the drinks pack a similar punch and still draw heavily on consulting chef Choi’s self-described “West Coast Indies” theme. House made daiquiris that loosen your thumbs in preparation for calling a Lyft stand alongside equally strong and stealthy rum-infused Coconut Juleps; Sunny Spot’s Caribbean-styled twist on a traditional mint julep — with the bourbon still included, of course.

“In my experience, there’s a real difference in Westside and Eastside palates. On the Eastside, they’re heavy on brown spirits. On the Westside, the palates prefer sweeter drinks. It’s a vodka drinking crowd, more of a ‘safe’ drinking crowd.” — Sunny Spot General Manager Chris Getz palates prefer sweeter drinks. It’s a vodka drinking crowd, more of a ‘safe’ drinking crowd.” Sunny Spot created drinks such as the Brooklyn 15 to bring a little Eastside trend to this side of

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A

Is an Interest-only ARM a good choice? Interest-only adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) are back — and this time lenders swear they’ve changed their behavior. New qualification measures are in place to ensure interest-only ARMs are only awarded to homebuyers who are able to meet future payment schedules once monthly payments increase to start the amortization of principal. Originations will not be based on the initial teaser rate of interest-only payments as a percent of income. Qualifications for interest-only mortgages now include: • a minimum 20% down payment; • a minimum FICO score of 720; • the ability to afford the monthly payments on the eventual amortization of principal; and • a debt-to-income ratio (DTI) which may not exceed 42% throughout the life of the mortgage. Interest-only ARMs begin with low payment rates and payment schedules, which adjust upwards with interest rates as current rates change during the interest-only payment period. The interest-only payment period usually lasts about five to ten years. Depending

Over $1 BilliOn sOld and cOunting

on the ARM terms, interest rates may increase as frequently as once per month during this period. After the interest-only payment period, principal is amortized resulting in a further increase in monthly payments for the remainder of the mortgage term. Unlike a standard adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), interest-only ARM payments do not increase solely due to changes in interest rates. Instead, payments increase on commencement of principal amortization after the interest-only period. Amortization may cause payments to double or triple from the initial low monthly payments, even if the interest rate does not change. Discretion is critical to avoiding the same disastrous effects interest-only mortgages had a decade ago. Even with lenders’ newly promised precautions, interest-only ARMs are not for the faint of heart – or the typical homebuyer. Unlike the past 30 years, the next few decades will see interest rates on ARMs rise, with payment schedules in tow.

A ‘Joyride’ on Paper Otis College instructor Dan Quarnstrom’s love affair with hot rods hits the printed page Illustrations by Dan Quarnstrom

By Michael Aushenker Illustrator Dan Quarnstrom’s vehicular drawings only come in two modes: sitting still or behaving badly. Ironically, the author of the annotated art book “Joyride Flatout: Hot Rods and Dream Machines” has never raced or tinkered with the very vintage automobiles he rhapsodizes. “I’m not a hot-rodder,” he said. “I’m just a guy who loves them and draws them incessantly. I’ve never built one, I’ve never owned one. They’re really more characters than they are cars.” That makes sense coming from a guy who designed characters for many years. Now an instructor at Otis College of Art and Design, Quarnstrom worked for decades at one of Hollywood’s leading suppliers of feature film and television digital effects, Rhythm & Hues, back when it was based on Jefferson Boulevard near Playa Vista (in recent years, Rhythm & Hues moved to El Segundo). Quarnstrom, who considers cartoonist and car designer Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and Beach Boy Brian Wilson “two of my guardian angels,” has been into hot rods and enthralled with counterculture (rock ‘n’ roll, MAD magazine) since his preteens. “That period of time from 1959 through 1967, it was the golden era of hot rod customizing,” said Quarnstrom, 64, who now lives in Westchester. “My dad took me to a show, it made it real.” Quarnstrom cottoned to the outrageous, outlandish car customizers of the day — Roth, George Barris, Clay Smith (purveyor of the cigar-chomping, Woody Woodpecker-esque mascot Mr. Horsepower) — and fell in awe of grand auto shows, such as the 1963 Oakland Grand National Roadsters Show. Childhood road trips to visit relatives in Santa Anta took Quarnstrom down an idyllic route to Disneyland, where in 1959 Roth debuted a tricked-out car called the Excalibur. “You drove through Hollywood and saw that Capitol Records building and you knew the Beach Boys were in there making their records,” he said. “[Then at Disneyland], here’s this car that looked like it was made of melted cheese. His aesthetic and his shape language was so out there that he drew kids to it.” Roth, along with fellow weirdo cartoonist Basil Wolverton and later Robert Crumb, Robert Williams and Rick Griffin, blew Quarnstrom’s mind. However, his father was a draftsman so he also “grew up around dimensional thinking. Because of a drafting class I took in high school, I knew how to draw plans,” he said. Unsurprisingly, Quarnstrom attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena to study illustration. Emerging from school in the late 1960s, he began designing psychedelic posters for rock bands and

Dan Quarnstrom, creator of the Coca-Cola polar bears, let’s his imagination run on high octane in “Joyride Flatout: Hot Rods and Dream Machines” landed a job offer from Hallmark Greeting Cards in Kansas City, Mo. Instead, he headed to Rolling Stone, where the art director surprised him during his portfolio review by assigning him spot illustrations on the spot: a take on the NRA logo

this time. [Steve] Jobs had put money into it. I was the 27th [Rhythm & Hues] employee,” Quarnstrom said, noting that hundreds were soon on the payroll there in what was then a sleepy, largely industrial neighborhood. “We were tucked back

“Those guys are really imaginative, inventive guys. They were very fun to work with,” he said. Back in 2002, Quarnstrom mounted the automobile-fixated exhibit “Joy Ride” at Metro Gallery in Pasadena — selling out almost all of its 100 drawings — before shifting his focus to teaching. Today, Quarnstrom runs digital thesis “I’m not a hot-rodder. I’m just a guy who classes at Otis and has worked as an instructor at his alma mater in Pasadena. loves them and draws them incessantly.” This month he’ll teach architectural — Dan Quarnstrom character at the Laguna School of Design.

From Hippies to Hipsters

George Drury Smith moved to Venice in the mid-1960s to join the Beat poetry scene, only to find it had washed out to sea. Instead, he made his own literary scene by founding Beyond Baroque (originally a lit mag) and got tangled up in a small but ambitious Marina del Rey media startup called The Argonaut. On Sunday, the Marina del Rey Historical Society Speaker Series brings Smith back to Beyond Baroque to talk about his long, strange trip building community on the printed page as the lit center’s founder and as the former associate publisher of The Argonaut. Smith’s knowledge of area history reaches back to 19th-century Rancho La Ballona, but his specialty is the history he’s lived — particularly anecdotal tales of the swinging marina scene and Venice’s hippy haven days of the late 1960s and early ‘70s. He also plans to discuss social, environmental and governmental issues that persist with this decade’s transformative growth and development. — Joe Piasecki

From Sideman to Center Stage Veteran drummer Don Heffington steps up to play his own music at McCabe’s this Sunday Photo credit to Laura Heffington

By Bliss Bowen Chances are you’ve heard drummer Don Heffington, whether or not you realized it. Dave Alvin, Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan, Lowell George, Emmylou Harris, the Jayhawks, Rickie Lee Jones, k.d. lang, Lone Justice, Ron Sexsmith, Percy Sledge, Big Mama Thornton, Big Joe Turner, the Wallflowers, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam: Heffington has recorded and/or performed onstage with them all. He’s one of “those LA guys” who hit the road with name acts like the Watkins Family Hour, with whom he recently played a string of West Coast dates, then come home to do sessions and squeeze into dim nightclub corners behind lesser-known bands across town. He’s a working musicians’ musician. And songwriter, though that side of his creative persona rarely emerged in public before he quietly dropped “Gloryland” last year. The 10-track album is a grab bag of droll wit and deliriously musical, oddball songs, from the Fallujah-referencing “Flying Over Flagstaff” through “Crablice and Quaaludes” and the hilarious “Sorry About the Matter,” which sounds like deadpan Catskills standup performed at a junkyard carnival. The sweetest track is a honky-tonk setting of a note written by Allen Ginsberg to Neal Cassady and Jack Kerouac, “Put a Kiss and a Tear in Yr Letter.” Heffington played most of the instruments, and recorded it in pieces with late engineer David Vaught. Its unconventional sonic template may have been sketched out when the lanky drummer was still a shorty. “I’ve always played some guitar,

Don Heffington’s drummed for Sheryl Crow and Bob Dylan, but now he’s singing his own tunes and I used to have a one-man band when I was a kid; I’d play a banjo-uke and a bass drum, I had some harmonicas, that type of thing, made some racket,” he says, laughing. “I remember my dad used to come in and just shake his head. He thought all was lost.” “Gloryland” isn’t the first album with Heffington’s name on the cover. He co-wrote and recorded 1995’s “In the Red” with fiddler Tammy Rogers; the mostly instrumental, Appalachian-flavored set includes his gruffly sung hymn “Psalms.” In

comparison, “Gloryland” sounds like a happily bedraggled parade of tuba, guitars, mouth harp, piano and spacey sound effects behind Heffington’s surreal lyrics. “ Well Richie’s so souped he can’t even see Me I’m lit up like a Christmas tree But it’s them against us and it’s him against me And that’s what’s bad for the ecology So I just keep right on drinking ’til I drink that toast n

Why should people quietly asleep or relaxing at home in the late evening thoughtlessly get in the way of the Kardashians latest attempt at an attention-grabbing good time? They’re clearly addicted to being in headlines every second of the day, and with this latest stunt they’ve either become more desperate to keep that high going or have become so out of touch with reality that no one else matters. Putting on an unannounced, colossally large fireworks show that scares the bejesus out of large numbers of folks suggests that we’ve officially reached The Next Kardashian Level. What’s coming next from the Kardashians to an unsuspecting public? Perhaps they’ll demolish a condemned skyscraper without warning, having cocktails and canapés on hand in a nearby office building as they watch the little ants below — you know, us — frantically freak out as the building implodes and everyone runs for cover. What fun! Maybe they’ll paralyze the 405 during the late afternoon rush hour because they want to have the first ever tented party on a local freeway. Predictably, the Sheriff’s Department and the Coast Guard are pointing fingers so much over who should have been in charge of preventing those fireworks that they should all be wearing Kareem-style goggles to avoid eye injuries. Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe is launching an official investigation into the incident, but I’m expecting nothing more than some of your basic wrist-slapping. Since accountability is out of the question, it comes down to something more basic: revenge. Let’s arm ourselves with a smart phone app mimicking those vuvuzela plastic horns that were made famous during the 2010 World Cup soccer championship. These horrifying horns make a singularly hideous sound. Have your smart phone ready at all times, because at some point one of us is going to run into some Kardashians. That’s when you suddenly play your vuvuzela app in their direction and delight as it makes the worst racket imaginable. When Kim, Khloe, Kylie, Kris or Kanye wildly complain, tell them to lighten up because you’re celebrating your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s birthday. If they still protest, crank your vuvuzela app up even louder. Be sure also to record their irate reaction on your smart phone and then quickly upload it to YouTube. Such a gesture is selfish, immature and unbelievably annoying — but, hey, we learned from the best.
