Sometimes it takes 96 pages to remind ourselves how lucky we are. This year’s Best of the Westside edition is jam-packed with reasons to love where we live — a vibrant community that truly offers something for everyone. The heart of this compendium of excellence is the results of our annual readers’ poll. This year a record number of voters chose winners in 189 categories, from Best Asian Fusion Cuisine (p. 12) to Best Yacht Club (p. 62). Alongside these much-anticipated results are several editor’s picks that highlight other unique Westside people and places deserving of a nod, such as the Best Place to Get a Taste of Old Abbot Kinney (p. 47) and The Best Place to Find a Creepy Scarecrow (p. 61). It was a ton of fun. Finally, we’d like to thank our loyal readers for supporting quality independent journalism on the Westside and encourage everyone to support the local businesses that help our communities thrive. Congratulations to all of our winners. Keep up the great work! — Joe Piasecki

Best Place To Wear Your Poodle Skirt Pann’s 6710 La Tijera Blvd., Westchester | (323) 776-3770 panns.com
Everything outside these walls has changed, but inside it’s still 1958. The Coasters, the Everly Brothers and Johnny Otis remain the soundtrack of life under the tilted roof and off-kilter neon sign of this space-age diner, among the best-preserved examples of L.A.’s iconic Googie architecture of the ‘50s. Pann’s is no hipster hangout or tourist fling, but the place where Westchester locals go for famously good fried chicken, burgers and homemade malts. Even so, you’ll still see the occasional two-toned car with tailfins in the parking lot — a sign that some devotee of the 1950s or early 60s is having a completely authentic night out. — Richard Foss

Best Place to Go on a Truly Blind Date Opaque 2020 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica (310) 546-7619 | darkdining.com
Table manners not your forte? Can’t decide what to wear? The view inside Opaque Try dining in the dark. Opaque offers a fresh take on the age-old experience of dining out by serving gourmet three-course meals in complete blackout darkness, eliminating visual distractions and heightening diners’ senses of taste, smell and touch. The waitstaff, all of whom are visually impaired, act as guides throughout the evening to help diners adapt to the temporary blindness. Equal parts restaurant and social experiment, Opaque allows the sighted to momentarily put themselves in a blind person’s shoes while interacting with food and their dining partners in a new way. Dinners are served between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays inside the V Lounge. Prix fixe meals ($99) include appetizer, entrée and dessert. — Billy Singleton September 24, 2015 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 13

The brand-new Runway at iron skillet meals and craft cocktails Playa Vista retail complex is made from local ingredients home to an expansive Whole Foods Market that features an impressive salad bar, a mochi ice cream dessert case, a fresh-from-the-oven pizza counter and a fullservice restaurant-and-bar: the Astro Pub. Once seated by the host, diners can order from a menu that includes daily specials, cast iron skillet meals and fresh sushi made to order. It’s also apparently quite the baby-friendly environment, where it’s not uncommon to see new moms scarfing a cheeseburger and fries while breastfeeding their tots. After all, breast milk is the original “whole food.” Not lactating? The Astro Pub offers 24 beers on tap and curated craft cocktails made from local ingredients whenever possible. Happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m. daily. — Shanee Edwards

Bartender Llan Brake raises a glass at The Daily Pint
The name of this classic old bar implies it’s a haven for beer drinkers, since not many people down a pint of whiskey at a sitting. Though there is certainly a good variety of beers on tap at The Daily Pint, there’s an even more impressive library of whiskies, including old and rare scotches, dozens of bourbons and even labels from Japan, France and India. Stop in on the right evening and you’re liable to find a tasting conducted by representatives of a distillery, but on any night you’ll find both great selection of whiskies and a staff who can make intelligent recommendations based on your taste buds. — Richard Foss

Unlike the exploding magma kind that cause mass evacuations, the volcanoes that erupt at The Warehouse threaten nothing more dangerous than an intimate evening for two. Served in a tiki-themed goblet with a scale volcanic mountain rising from the center, these massive cocktails made from The Warehouse’s flaming volcano cocktail-for-two a dangerously exotic blend has the power to heat up a romantic evening of light rum, dark rum, apricot brandy, banana liqueur, fruit juices and grenadine are meant to be shared. True to form, they arrive at the table on fire — the shot of 151-proof rum splashed in the volcano’s center burning with a romantic blue-and-orange flame. The Warehouse has been serving its signature volcano ($18) since opening in 1969. With its decor of pirate barrels, rigging nets and a bar-area stage done up to look like a smuggler’s quay for live music, this Marina del Rey landmark epitomizes a style of fantasy dining that was once the height of chic in L.A. Now, it’s a retro survivor with killer sunset views and drink recipes for a night to remember. — Jasmin St. Claire

Loyola Marymount University is known for feeding its students’ Iggy the Lion catches minds, but the Jesuit college also some rays at the Burns provides for the wellbeing of the Rec Center pool body temple. The Burns Recreation Center features a fitness center, exercise classes, multi-purpose gymnasium, tennis courts, healthy snack shack, massage services and, perhaps best of all, an Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pool. And while membership is largely limited to LMU students, faculty and alumni, there are ways for locals to get in for a workout. For $5 per visit, members can bring a guest; that’s widely promoted. Lesser known is the university’s $34-per-month morning membership program, which allows locals to use the center on weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m. and any time on weekends — that is, with the sponsorship of an LMU student or staffer. “We try really hard to work with our community. The a.m. membership is one of the ways to do that,” said Virginia Doherty, a rec center supervisor. Morning fitness classes currently include cycling, and on the weekends there’s restorative yoga and kickboxing. An added bonus to the morning workout: that’s when crowds are smallest, said Doherty, meaning there’s a better shot at getting through your circuit without a wait. — Bonnie Eslinger

Finding your Zen while floating on water seems natural enough. Doing it with your feet in the air may sound like some kind of Zen koan, but this is a transformative experience within reach. YOGAqua founder Sarah Tiefenthaler has taken her yoga classes outside studio walls and into the great outdoors — on top of paddleboards in the placid waters of Mother’s Beach. Each 90-minute YOGAqua Paddleboard yoga refreshes the mind, body and spirit class ($39) melds a vigorous workout with a relaxing day at sea through a Vinyasa Yoga flow customized for the harbor setting. Tiefenthaler offers classes for all skill levels, allowing both seasoned pros and the yoga-curious to navigate this careful balancing act of stretching and stand-up paddleboarding. Don’t be intimidated. Halfway through your first paddleboard yoga session, the sea and the sun will have you thinking, “Nah Ma Stay Out Here Forever.” — Bethney Bonilla
The next time you drop by The Townhouse & Del Monte Speakeasy for a vintage-style cocktail or two, don’t forget to pop over to Animal House for some vintage fashion just a few doors down — and maybe a vintage story or two. Owner Ronny Kleyweg founded Animal House 33 years ago, and Animal House manager Kaitlyn Whalen and owner he’s been around long enough to see everything from the excesses of Ronny Kleyweg take pride in the store’s expansive stock of vintage Brooks Cafe Racer leather jackets the ‘80s (fashion and otherwise) to from the 1960s recent surprise visits by Hollywood A-listers like Johnny Depp and rock stars like Gwen Stefani and Bruce Springsteen. In addition to his bread-and-butter vintage inventory, Ronny has expanded the shop to include newer clothes and accessories with a boho-surfer vibe as well as a juice bar around the back of the store where table tops affix to street poles and crates stand in for stools. Grab a fresh-pressed juice and a paisley blouse to match, but don’t miss Ronny behind the register. What’s his craziest story? “Too much to tell in 33 years. Too much to tell!” he answered me, so I guess you’ll have to ask. — Gabrielle Flam

We are proud to welcome him to our staff and leadership team in 2015! Here is a sample of the good work he brings to the Yo San University Community Clinic. SANGMOON BAE � A current member of PGA � Two time PGA Champion (2014/2015) � 23rd in current Fedex Playoff Ranking
D.H. LEE � A current member of PGA/Web.com � A medalist at the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament in 2012
“Over the last few years, I have developed some nagging injuries in my low back, hip and knee that plague my golf swing. However, my sessions with Dr. Lee and his team have kept me playing the most competitive golf in the PGA tour. His dedication, love of golf, and passion for helping others, has truly inspired me. Dr. Lee has my total confidence and I am happy to have him as my medical staff.”
“I have struggled with my neck and back ever since I started playing golf. With a devastating shoulder injury after the PGA qualifying school, rehabilitation progress was too slow and I visited Dr. Lee’s office for treatment and evaluation. He has become my medical staff ever since then and I am pleased to receive his care continuously throughout the season.”

This place is insane! With 16,000 square feet of antiques, art and design, it’s like the best, most intricately curated flea market ever. Think Istanbul Grand Bazaar meets your grandmother’s house — endless aisles of objects inspiring awe and delight. There’s unique jewelry, midcentury modern furniture, art, books and plenty of all around The Mart Collective is packed floor to ceiling with vintage artifacts from every era awesome knickknacks. Here you really can find absolutely anything imaginable, meaning there’s something for everyone, from antique hunters to set decorators to happy hipsters who want a typewriter because they’re so over technology. Launched in 2013 by Anthony Hudson and Robin Messick, who previously managed the Wertz Brothers Antique Mart in Santa Monica, this place is quintessentially Venice and yet so much more. — Gabrielle Flam
Knitting, it seems, is fashionable again. But did it ever really go out of style? Since 1972, Needlepoints West has been the place where knitters, crochet weavers and needlepoint sewers can find all the tools of their trade. Now it’s also the place where those who are new to needle and thread can learn the craft. When owner Joanne Bronson took over the store in 2002, she began holding classes for weavers of all skill levels, from master knitters to novice Needlepoints West holds classes teaching the crafts of needlepoint, crochet and knitting needle-pointers. “It’s like paint-by-numbers, but with needle and thread,” says Bronson, whose beginner students have made everything from simple scarves to hanging ornaments. Classes cost $20 per session, and you can pick up a ball of yarn to get started for as little as $8. Those who want a little more help can arrange for private lessons. — Christina Campodonico

Best Place to get a Taste of ‘Old’ Abbot Kinney

Bazar
C a k e s • P i e s • Ta r t s • É c l a i r s
108 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice (310) 314-2101
Venice native Tina Wakino opened Bazar on Abbot Kinney Boulevard 15 years ago, which makes Bazar about as “Old Abbot Kinney” as you can get these days. This cozy boutique has a kind of beachy Asian vibe, with the alluring aromas of luxurious soaps and candles awakening the senses while bright vintage textiles and sparkling handcrafted jewelry dazzle the eyes. You’ll want to hold everything in your hands Tina Wakino’s Bazar has been a fixture on Abbot Kinney to examine the singular Boulevard for 15 years, which is like 50 in Venice years exquisiteness of each object. Free from the shackles of trends, Wakino manages to find rare and under-the-radar brands from all over the world that even the savviest of shoppers and hippest of the hipsters haven’t heard of before. Bazar stands out as one of the more interesting shops on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, and it’ll likely stay that way for years to come. — Gabrielle Flam

Best Place to Meditate Under the Belly of an A320 Dockweiler State Beach (310) 305-9503 | beaches.lacounty.gov
Beach Front Roof Top Deck Available for Private Events
The northerly part of Dockweiler State Beach, far from the chaos of the bonfire pits, is a great place to get away from it all and find your center when life seems overwhelming. Rarely will you encounter more than a handful of other people, making for very few distractions — except, of course, for the massive, roaring jets taking off from LAX’s 24-R runway. But the jets that fly overhead are A jet flies low over Dockweiler, ready for its close-up less disturbing than you might imagine. Many are even quite beautiful, and there’s something special and humbling about contemplating your navel, then looking up to contemplate a jet’s belly. Some of the “heavies” (that’s aviation talk for really big jets such as the 747s and A320s) take off so low you could almost wave to the flight crew. Photography enthusiasts should bring a medium zoom lens to capture some unusual and striking images. I use a 70mm for the heavies and a 200mm for the 737s. If jets aren’t your thing, the area is also a sanctuary for the Western Snowy Plover. These very shy, sparrow-like birds may reveal themselves in the sand if you’re patient and quiet. The area also has a refreshing lack of concessions, so bring your own food and water. There is sometimes free parking available along Vista Del Mar near Vista Del Mar Park, but the best way to arrive is by bicycle: the Marvin Braude Bike Trail cuts right through. — Ted Soqui

Los Angeles is full of weird stuff, but this has to be one of the stranger sights east of the Venice boardwalk and this side of Hollywood. Between the Ballona Wetlands and the Marina (90) Freeway at Culver Boulevard, an anthropomorphic fox wearing lipstick, a country dress and flowers in her hair stands guard over a Caltrans construction field office. And yes, her eyes do seem to be looking right at you. But this isn’t an urban art installation or some kind of prank. As it turns out, Caltrans workers grappling with critter and bird invasions placed the scarecrow on the lot after finding it along the side of the 90 one day. “We don’t know if it fell off of a truck or somebody dumped it, but we’re all about recycling,” said Caltrans spokeswoman Kelly Markham. “They thought this might be a good place to put it, and apparently it’s working.” — Joe Piasecki
A fox scarecrow found on the side of the 90 Freeway found a second career as a Caltrans critter controller

If you remember the ‘80s as totally rad, then hop in your Cabriolet and head over to Chop Daddy’s in Culver City. There, you can work out a winning pattern on an oldschool Ms. Pac-Man machine — for free, while tapping your foot to tubular tunes by A-ha, Tears for Fears and Cyndi Lauper. After you’ve worked up an appetite chasing ghosts and bundles of fruit, order up a half-rack of ribs or a smoked BBQ pork sandwich with a side of sweet potato tots. Then wash it all down with a bitchin’ draft beer while taking in local artist Jonas Never’s neon-bright mural featuring Dr. Emmett Brown from the iconic ‘80s flick “Back to the Future.” Happy hour specials from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on weekdays include a free side (Tater Tots, mac-and-cheese, baked beans or potato salad) with any sandwich purchase, or a free Jello shot with any beer purchase. — Shanee Edwards

A health-conscious deli and juice bar that eschews preservatives and embraces organic ingredients, The Mad Carrot is home to the Jungle Hangover Smoothie, a specialized recovery concoction named for the hard-partying neighborhood just down the beach. Working with doctor and pharmacist friends, The Mad Carrot proprietor Darren Dowler — a singer and guitarist who recently toured with Paul Revere and the Raiders — spent three months tweaking the recipe before settling on a surprisingly mild and silky smooth blend of coconut oil, berry, melon, citrus and a closely held secret ingredient. A 20-oz. smoothie goes for $8.50, which Dowler says is a small price to pay for the room to stop spinning. “I’m a rock ’n’ roll musician, so I’ve had a few hangovers myself,” he says. “We finally found a recipe that seems to work, and now we have a lot of satisfied customers every weekend.” — Joe Piasecki

Somebody tell Kermit the Frog: At MPG Car Rental, it’s easy being green. MPG rents only hybrid, clean-diesel and electric vehicles, meaning any car in the fleet is a good choice for the planet. Better yet, MPG is one of the few places in L.A. where customers can get behind the wheel of a Tesla Model S. Producing zero emissions and able to go from zero to 60 in just four seconds, the Model S is a favorite of critics and one of the most sought-after electric cars on the market today. But if turning heads isn’t your thing or you’re in need of saving a little green for yourself, MPG offers a range of affordable gas-savers that make renting a car easy on the environment as well as the wallet. — Billy Singleton

Abbot Kinney Festival musical performers Crown and the M.O.B. haul a piano down the streets of Venice in their latest music video
Venice: It’s a Family Thing Chali 2Na, Crown and the M.O.B., Nocona, Cecilia Noël, Still Gandhis, Mike the Poet and Matt Ellis are among the highlights of Sunday’s Abbot Kinney Festival music lineup By Bliss Bowen The video for Crown and the M.O.B.’s single “Roam” tracks the ebullient rapper and his band as they roll a piano down the streets of Venice like a team of pied pipers, their numbers gradually expanding as fellow residents tag along. By the time they reach the boardwalk, they’re leading a multigenerational parade of bearded hippies, behatted hipsters, sidewalk dancers, a stiltwalker, tourists and sundry bohemians jamming to Crown’s hopeful rap: “Save a good prayer, spread knowledge, Stress leaves My daughter eats, I’m comfy, life’s heavenly… They say music heals those in need That’s honest, that’s why I’m cautious on beats And since all the pressure’s off me I think Just keep rollin’, positive vibin’, life’s sweet” It’s the kind of inclusive, open-hearted spirit organizers want to honor with this Sunday’s Abbot Kinney Fest. That spirit
may need celebrating now more than ever, as the expanding influence of Silicon Beach spurs residents to confront essential questions about community identity, priorities and values. Regardless of whether Crown and the M.O.B. (“Message of the Blues”) roll

“We’re a family band, and Venice has that thing where you can totally have your family and be completely rock ‘n’ roll.” — Adrienne Isom another piano down the streets to the Broadway Stage on Sunday afternoon, their afternoon set, sandwiched between salsa dynamo Cecilia Noël and headliner Chali 2Na, is bound to be one of the day’s highlights. Grooving local favorites such as Still Gandhis, Hit + Run Crew’s DJ Biff Chitlins, synth-loving trio VOW and melodic duo Pom-Poms will also grace the Broadway Stage.
Anthem, psychedelic country-rockers Nocona and stage curator Matt Ellis, who started out jamming to the Cramps before bending his ears toward American icons like Kris Kristofferson, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. Ellis credits Venice with broadening his sonic canvas. “It’s opened up inspirations I wouldn’t otherwise have had,” says the Australia
native, who signs off conversations with “Cheers, mate” and who moved to Venice 10 years ago. “I don’t think I’d be writing the songs I’m writing today if I’d stayed in Australia. I’ve always been a fan of the Americana sound and mainly American bands, so it was a natural progression to follow the road out here.” Adrienne and Chris Isom will be headlining the Andalusia Locals Stage (“a huge honor”) with their band Nocona, after shooting a video promoting their new album “Long Gone Song” at the Cinema Bar the night before. The couple, who moved to Venice seven years ago, say Nocona’s music has also been influenced by the local environment. “We lived in New York for 15 years in very small places and worked in a really small rehearsal studio,” Chris explains. “I think the first two years we lived in Venice, I would just walk the beach from Venice Pier to Santa Monica Pier in a daze, not believing we were here.

She Rolls with the Waves Annenberg Beach House choreographer in residence Rebecca Bruno takes dance out of the studio and into the elements By Christina Campodonico Most choreographers prepare their dances indoors — in studios with ballet bars and mirrors, doors, windows and floors. L.A.-based choreographer Rebecca Bruno takes her work home and, now more frequently, outside. As this September’s choreographer in residence at the Annenberg Community Beach House, Bruno is working with less-stable elements — wind, water, surf and sand — looking for an anchor to moor her work within the site’s everchanging conditions. “I feel like being so close to the ocean and the wind, and the sun and the sand … I’m definitely being challenged to take in a lot of information,” Bruno says of her upcoming work, “Fixtures,” which premieres Friday on the Annenberg Beach House campus. For most, the Beach House is a place to unwind, but for Bruno it’s an evermoving canvas. “The site transforms on the hour. Every day is different. Sometimes it’s so quiet. The guesthouse is closed. There aren’t many people, but yesterday it was packed [with] people — events happening everywhere. Kids running in and out of the pool. “Things are shifting around … rain, events, chairs, tables!” says Bruno with a hint of exasperation, but mostly excitement. “We’re checking up on tide charts. The heat.” As Bruno runs through her checklist of considerations while we talk in her office at the Marion Davies Guest House, I sense that these variables are the driving force behind her creative process at the Annenberg Community Beach House, whose history is also a factor. Not only does the site’s storied past as the beachside playground for actress Marion Davies and publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst linger, the dance legacy of the Los Angeles-based Denishawn school weighs on her mind.
House with a touch of trepidation. “Indoor home spaces are controlled, in a sense. We define them with our objects, with our design, with our minimalism, with our whatever. And this space is determined, definitely — in its architecture and design and everything — but can’t escape the sound of the ocean. You can’t escape the force of the wind and the tide … wherever it is at a given time,” she says. “You’re going through your process in public, outside. In a way, there’s just a lot more vulnerability.” When she says this I think of a broken shell she showed me earlier. For Bruno, it symbolizes shelter and protection. I can see why. A tiny fragment with a dried out barnacle and the fossilized remnant of some lost tentacle fused to its core, the shell looks as if it’s weathered many storms. Yet somehow these tiny creatures survived. It’s a fitting metaphor for Bruno’s current state of being in this space — seeking shelter from the stimuli that surround her on a day-to-day basis. Yet Bruno has also found inspiration in exposing her choreographic process to the elements and to a public audience, confident that things will eventually settle into place. “I think there’s this opportunity to confront what it means to have this kind of dance process in a public space,” she says. During rehearsal, Bruno rolls slowly on a concrete pathway, appearing like a — Rebecca Bruno glamorous sunbather, oozing glacially into a molten layer of sand. Bruno founded the collective in 2013 and While the choreography to come will be continues to curate its events, which have “fixed,” in this moment she’s a sponge, soaking up information from the shore. occured in various places throughout the city, including the historic J.B.

balked at its formal elements and strict structure. “I’ll always remember,” she says, “walking into this room — just a line of young girls all in pink leotards and pink tights… and I just looked and said, ‘Hell, no! I don’t want to wear pink, and I don’t want to be tested!’” That same independent spirit came out again after Bruno graduated from UC San Diego in 2008 and was frustrated by the lack of accessible studio and rehearsal space for young artists. Inspired by the intimate jazz concerts her parents hosted in her childhood home, Bruno transformed her house into a laboratory for making and presenting work.

Aztec Stories Take part in a centuries-long oral tradition on Saturday ot Tongva Park Learn about the art of Aztec musical storytelling and pick up an indigenous instrument to help keep that tradition alive when touring artist Michael Heralda brings his interactive Aztec Stories program to Tongva Park on Saturday. Heralda delves into the rhythms, stories and language of the pre-colonial civilization that once inhabited now present-day Mexico City, then invites listeners to become storytellers themselves with an assemblage of more than 30 handmade indigenous instruments, including fire and rain sticks, turtle and conch shells, and gourd water drums. Heralda’s curiosity about Aztec traditions began after reading a work of fiction set within the culture. His program, frequently performed at universities and cultural centers, is informed by years of research with indigenous studies scholars. “People have said, ‘I had no idea that this culture was like this.’ And I think that was one of the main reasons why I created this program, because of so many misconceptions,” Heralda says. “There is so much indigenous and native knowledge out there. Our goal is to share this information to help people begin to recognize it a little bit more.” — Michael Reyes Aztec Stories begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Tongva Park, 1615 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica.

Rockin’ Rydell Sing-a-long Rediscover the musical movie magic of “Grease” where it happened: Venice High School John Travolta and Olivia Newton John lit up the big screen in 1978 as teenagers in love during the 1950s at fictional Rydell High School. On Saturday, “Grease” fanboys and fangirls will get together to lend their voices to “Greased Lightning,” “Summer Nights” and “You’re the One that I Want” during a special singalong screening of the film at Rydell — known in real life as Venice High School. The Venice High School Alumni Association staged the school’s first “Grease” singalong when VHS celebrated its centennial in 2011, and since then it’s become a new community tradition. The Rockin’ Rydell Sing-A-Long is free, but have a few bucks on hand for concessions and raffle tickets. All proceeds support a scholarship fund for VHS students. Participants are invited to dress up in their ‘50s best: poodle skirts, slicked back hairdos and leather jackets welcome.

Defending the Right to Read LMU’s William H. Hannon Library hosts marathon public readings of banned books By Kelly Hayes-Raitt Pop Quiz: What author has written the most books banned somewhere in America? Wait — books banned? In America? As incredulous as it sounds, 311 books were banned or very nearly banned somewhere in this country last year, according to the American Library Association. Since 1982, when the association first started cataloging attempts to ban books, a staggering 11,300 books have been “challenged,” which is the ALA’s word for an attempt to restrict a book’s circulation. Every September, the ALA spotlights literary censorship in libraries and classrooms by publicizing readings from banned books. Loyola Marymount University will host such readings on Monday, Sept. 28, and Tuesday, Sept. 29. From 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days, students, faculty and members of the public will participate in a continuous reading of excerpts from their favorite banned books. The right to read works by J.K. Rowling, Harper Lee, Anne Frank and even Dr. Seuss have been challenged in this country for being sexually explicit, for containing offensive language, or for appearing to sanction mysticism, magic or Satanism. References to homosexuality, abortion, smoking or suicide are also among ALA-documented reasons that books have been challenged. Challenging books “comes from a need to protect people. Whether on the left or the right politically, [book challengers] want to protect people from thoughts that they think are wrong or harmful. If you are on the right, it might be books about sex or violence or inappropriate language. If you’re on the left, it may be books about conservatism, creationism, different ideologies,” said Kristin Pekoll, assistant director of the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. “Most of the challenges are from concerned parents [who] approach a local library or a local school district,” Pekoll continued. “It’s usually a local official [a member of a library or school board] who is the final decision-maker on whether a book remains on the shelf.”
The Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2014, according to the American Library Association, include: “The Bluest Eye” (No. 4) for being sexually explicit, “Persepolis” (#2) for offensive language and its political viewpoint, and “The Kite Runner” for offensive language and violence. See the rest at ala.org. “Censorship is still a very serious problem,” states the ALA’s Office of Intellectual Freedom’s website. The organization estimates that for every book-banning attempt that is reported to them, another five books are challenged, often without media attention. It also reports an increasing number of challenges to books written by authors of color, to books that feature non-white, gay, transgender or disabled characters and to books that include religion. Books have been banned for as long as they’ve been written — often by governments to quell political dissent or by religions to preserve their ideas about morality. For example, the Catholic Church created its own list of books to ban since 1559, a practice it continued as recently as 1966. Libraries have not only censored specific books, but have also been the targets of censorship themselves. The first recorded burning of a library was in China in 221 B.C. The Puritans were the first to ban books in America. Thomas Morton’s 1637 book “New English Canaan,” which criticized the Puritans and extolled the virtues of Native Americans, and William Pynchon’s “The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption,” published in 1650, ruffled Puritan leaders so deeply that they not only banned the books, they exiled the authors. Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” was banned the year it was published (1885) by the Concord (Mass.) Public Library for “coarse language.” Twain fired back, “Censorship is telling a man he
can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it!” But 130 years later, the novel remains off some public bookshelves. Ready for the answer to that pop quiz? If you guessed Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway or Kurt Vonnegut as the author with the most titles banned somewhere in this country today, give yourself a pat on the back for thinking creatively. While each of these authors graces the banned book list, America’s Most Banned Author is actually Stephen King. Since 1989, 32 individual titles by King have been challenged, many of them multiple times, according to the ALA’s Pekoll. “And many reports list ‘all books written by Stephen King,’” she said. Runners up: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (28 titles), Judy Blume (14 titles), and Chris Crutcher (13 titles). “We need to continue to speak out,” said Pekoll. Reading, she concluded, “is a freedom that is always taken for granted.” Continuous public readings from banned books take place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 28, and Tuesday, Sept. 29, at LMU’s William H. Hannon Library, 1 Loyola Marymount University, Westchester. Sign up to participate at libguides.lmu. edu/events.

Joint Fluid therapy relieves pain, restores function and improves mobility without the need for surgery. FDA approved Joint Fluid Therapy restores the body’s natural lubricants within the knee joint. As osteoarthritis occurs, knee cartilage slowly deteriorates and joint fluid loses its shockabsorbing qualities. Performed under ultrasonic guidance with hyaluronate, Joint Fluid Therapy delivers targeted medicine to worn out cartilage. This brief, in-office injection often relieves pain and restores function naturally without the need for major surgery.
