DANCE REVEALS AN EPIC STORY OF THE FEMALE SPIRIT U.S. PREMIERE | OCTOBER 18–21
Performed by A K R A M K H A N COM PA N Y
PERFORMED IN THE ROUND ON A SOUND STAGE AT THE HISTORIC CULVER STUDIOS
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime dance performance. An ancient Indian epic reimagined through the eyes of women, Until the Lions is award-winning choreographer and dancer Akram Khan’s powerful take of poet Karthika Naïr’s book Until the Lions: Echoes from the Mahabharata. The title of the piece borrows from a popular African proverb, “Until the lions have their own historian, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”
The story explores the notion and physical expression of gender with the tale of Princess Amba, who, after being abducted on her wedding day and stripped of her honor, invokes the gods to seek revenge. Using kathak, a classical Indian dance, as well as contemporary dance forms, Khan electrifies the stage with raw, powerful emotions balanced by moments of sublime tenderness.

L e t t e r s Airbnb Delivers Economic Empowerment Millions of visitors from around the world come to Los Angeles each year to visit the area’s world-class beaches and dozens of cultural and entertainment options. These visitors spend billions of dollars on lodging, dining and other activities around our city. Until recently, the majority of that spending went to large entertainment companies and hotel chains. Thanks to the sharing economy and companies like Airbnb, residents like myself finally have an opportunity to directly benefit from the city’s tourism industry. I own a home in Westchester, about an eight-minute drive from LAX. Every day I am aware of the thousands of travelers that come to our city, but I never thought it was something that I — a teacher and small business owner — could benefit from. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 18 years old to study and pursue my career. My dream was to one day own my own home and run my own business.
ArgonautNews.com Years of hard work began to pay off when, 12 years ago, I was able to purchase my own home and open up a preschool and daycare. Things have not always been easy. A few years ago, I dislocated my arm. With no health insurance and most of my income going to pay medical bills, I was struggling to pay my mortgage and was at risk of losing both my home and my business. When I explained my situation to my friend, she suggested I try home-sharing on Airbnb to help earn some extra money. It was a natural fit for an entrepreneur like me. Sharing my home allows me to use my people skills to earn extra income from the home that I have invested in for over 12 years. I no longer have to worry during the summer months or times that enrollment in the preschool is down. I have even been able to expand my business to employ three assistant teachers who help me instruct students in both English and Spanish.
I recently learned that women who participate in the sharing economy through sharing their home on Airbnb earned $6,600 last year in extra income, which is enough to cover more than 60% of the gender wage gap in the U.S. In addition, more than 10,000 women hosts across the country have used their Airbnb income to support their own entrepreneurship, according to a report on medium.com by Airbnb’s policy team (@AirbnbCitizen). For many of us, home sharing has been an opportunity to deal with the rising cost of living in big cities like Los Angeles, and has given us a path forward in this new economy. Being an Airbnb host has allowed us to have a new source of income not to get rich, but to stay in our homes and support our dreams.

Venice’s Homeless May Get Restrooms
Amid hepatitis A concerns, councilman says improving hygiene is “a matter of basic decency” Photo by Mia Duncans
By Gary Walker Following Los Angeles County’s declaration of a hepatitis A outbreak after a surge of cases among homeless populations in San Diego and Santa Cruz, homeless encampments along Third Avenue in Venice may soon be getting portable sinks and 24-hour access to public restrooms on the beach. Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin is seeking additional city funding to operate existing, emergency and portable restrooms and sinks near encampments and staff them with attendants around the clock to help stem the spread of communicable diseases. “Providing clean and safe restroom access is a matter of basic decency — and smart public health policy,” Bonin said after submitting a Sept. 26 council motion to request funds. “The recent public health crisis is another frightening reminder of the real costs of continued inaction. We cannot allow red tape to prolong suffering. We must act now to offer people safe places to use the restroom and get cleaned up. “This is a solvable problem.”
On Sept. 22, residents of homeless encampments on Third Avenue protested the city impounding their belongings by writing messages on empty boxes likely to be seized in the next cleanup. Ben and Becca, formerly a film industry production assistant and makeup artist, have been homeless in Venice for a year.
Bonin’s council motion references San Francisco’s “Pit Stop” program, which provides mobile bathrooms and sinks at more than a dozen locations. It is modeled after a mobile shower program that also began in San Francisco, Lava Mae, which already provides mobile showers for homeless people at Third Avenue and in Westchester. Bonin is also urging the city Department of Recreation and Parks to keep restrooms on Venice Beach open around the clock. He secured funds for 24/7 beach bathroom staffing during budget deliberations earlier this year, but the department has yet to initiate the process. “This is a public health crisis, and we need to act with urgency,” Bonin said. “It is inhumane and unsafe to deny people access to restrooms. It endangers people living on the street, and it endangers neighbors who find human feces in their alleys and on their sidewalks.” Los Angeles County health authorities declared a hepatitis A outbreak on Sept. 19 after documenting 10 cases in Los Angeles, many of them linked to the San Diego outbreak that’s killed 17 people.

Anxiety has spread among a group of residents who live near one of Venice’s largest homeless encampments on Third Avenue after learning about the San Diego epidemic. They began asking the Bureau of Sanitation, which conducts regular street cleanings on Third Avenue, to wash nearby sidewalks with bleach prior to the Los Angeles outbreak. “We are working closely with the L.A. County Department of Public Health to respond proactively to this outbreak, connecting them with on-the-ground service providers to make sure resources and information are getting out as soon as possible via trusted sources. Although there have been no reported cases in our district, service providers such as Venice Family Clinic, Safe Place for Youth and street outreach teams are coordinating free vaccinations to ensure everyone stays safe,” said Bonin spokeswoman Jamarah Hayner. On Sept. 25, the Venice Neighborhood Council’s Homeless Committee passed a (Continued on page 11)

LAPD Officer Charged with Firearm Assault A police officer who was formerly stationed at the LAPD’s Westside-serving Pacific Division has been charged with assaulting three men in El Segundo while off duty and brandishing a pistol. Officer Joseph William Rooney, 34, has been charged with four counts of assault with a firearm, said Greg Risling, a spokesman with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. If convicted, Rooney could serve a maximum of 27 years in state prison. Prosecutors recommended that bail be set at $250,000 but a judge ordered Rooney held without bail at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown Los Angeles.
According to prosecutors, Rooney approached three men who had left a bar and were standing outside a restaurant in the 100 block of Main Street in El Segundo on May 22, 2016. He allegedly pulled out a handgun and began pointing it at the victims before striking one of them in the face with the gun. “The defendant and victims did not know each other. The altercation began with some type of argument on the sidewalk,” said Lt. Carlos Mendoza of the El Segundo Police Department. Mendoza said Rooney did not identify himself as a police officer during the altercation.
Molester of Autistic Mar Vista Teen Sentenced A Culver City man who sexually assaulted an autistic Mar Vista teen girl more than two years ago was sentenced to 24 years in state prison on Sept. 19 at the Airport Courthouse in Westchester. Samuel Duran, 36, pleaded no contest to three counts of forcible oral copulation with a victim over 14 years old last month. He has been ordered to register as a lifetime sexual offender, said Los
Angeles District Attorney’s Office spokesman Greg Risling. The teen, who was 15 at the time of the assault, was reported missing from her Mar Vista home by her family on March 24, 2015. She was later found at Duran’s Culver City home after she called police from there when Duran wasn’t present. Duran had sexually abused the girl over a three-week period and was arrested at his home on April 13, 2015.
New Armed Security for Burton Chace and Dockweiler Los Angeles County officials are bringing in a new armed security team to patrol local parks after incidents of vandalism this summer at county-owned recreational facilities, including Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey and Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey. An uptick in property defacement at White Point/Royal Palms Beach in San Pedro was a primary reason for the security detail, according to a county staff report. “Vandalism at public parks is nothing new,” said Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors spokeswoman Carol Baker. On Sept. 26 the Board of Supervisors approved a $511,227 contract
with Hamilton Private to patrol Dockweiler Youth Center, Dockweiler RV Park, Burton Chace and White Point/Royal Palms. Dockweiler RV Park and Burton Chace have restrooms that are open 24 hours to accommodate park campers and boat owners who live on their vessels, respectively, and are frequently a target for defacement. Burton Chace has had private security patrols since 1990 and the Dockweiler facilities have had armed guards at their locations since they opened in 2009. Like White Point/Royal Palms, both Burton Chace and Dockweiler have sometimes also been targets for vandalism, according to Baker.
Tabor Bungalows Get Closer to Historic Status Through a determined grassroots effort, one of the former homes of Venice’s most prominent African-American families is just a step away from official recognition of city historic status.

Which Way, Ballona? Blueprint for wetlands restoration goes public, and everyone has an opinion Photo courtesy of the Bay Foundation
By Gary Walker It’s official. The long-delayed restoration process for the Ballona Wetlands began with the Sept. 25 public release of the state’s preliminary draft environmental review of the project, prompting a flurry of activity among wetlands activists, scientists and environmental groups. Five years in the making, the 1,242-page document is the blueprint for possible restoration strategies for the nearly 600-acre ecological reserve purchased by the state in 2003. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is in charge of the restoration, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed off on the document in mid-September. Fish and Wildlife will host a public hearing about the Ballona Wetlands Restoration environmental assessment from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, at Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey. The document contemplates three restoration options that would, in varying degrees, replace concrete barriers around the creek with earthen levees, lower ground elevation north of Ballona Creek, and install public trails and bike paths
The lone public hearing for the environmental review of the Ballona Wetlands restoration will be on Nov. 8 at Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey
— each alternative eliciting strong reactions among Ballona activists with disparate views of what should happen.
Robert Van de Hoek, the lead biologist for the Ballona Institute in Playa del Rey, mocked the state’s three restoration
options as heavy handed to the point of hubris. His group believes using heavy equipment to move earth within Ballona will destroy the existing environment. “I was in [former] Gov. Gray Davis’ office representing the Sierra Club in 2003 when the governor was considering spending $140 million for this land, because it is valuable as habitat for some of the state’s most sensitive and imperiled species. And now someone thinks it’s OK to throw that all away, start over and try to create a landscape architect’s view of nature?” Van de Hoek asked. “That’s not restoration, that’s playing Dr. Frankenstein.” Dr. Robin Silver, the founder of the Center for Biological Diversity, said there is no protection for wildlife on federal and state endangered or threatened species lists. “It’s shocking that wildlife biologists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife would agree to release a plan that is not fully protective of the dozens of species at Ballona that are on the state’s List of Species of Special Concern,” Silver said. But David Kay, past president of

Friends of the Ballona Wetlands, favors a tidal restoration approach — in other words, landscaping a more naturalized creek bed reconnected to the marsh plain — and wants to see recognized environmental organizations get strongly behind that concept. “My hope is that Heal the Bay, Friends of Ballona Wetlands, Surfrider Foundation and other credible groups really work hard to ‘get the vote out,’” said Kay, who has supervised restored wetlands near San Diego. “Full tidal restoration is the only plan that meets all of the long-standing public goals established not only for Ballona, but for all of the remaining state-owned tidelands.” The Bay Foundation and California Coastal Conservancy helped develop the environmental review and will assist with the restoration.
“We encourage people to take the time to review this important document and then comment through the formal public process,” Bay Foundation Executive Director Tom Ford said. Heal the Bay plans to weigh in before the public hearing date with their preferred alternative. The review’s executive summary enumerates the primary goals of the planned ecological renewal as such: “The three major components of the project are restoring wetland and wetland functions within the Ballona Reserve, restoring and improving public access to the Ballona Reserve, and maintaining existing levels of flood risk management provided by the Ballona Creek Channel and levee system.” California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Jordan Traverso said public

Third Avenue that proved to be false — is critical. “You are not going to catch it by walking by someone or if you live in a certain area. We have to be proactive in providing vaccines and other assistance, but it’s important that we not overact to this outbreak,” said Kuehl, who supports keeping the Venice Beach restrooms open.
The Critical Line
participation is essential for determining what happens next. “We want people to understand the process of civic engagement and making comments. We want them to discuss this important property and whether or not there’s a way to bring it back to a functioning wetlands from this remnant of what it once was, to bring back species to the area that we haven’t seen in some time, and to bring a local, natural place for Angelenos to have access to and experience a wetlands right in an urban center,” she said.
In the midst of the discussions about restrooms and hepatitis A, homeless activists are decrying what they say are recent heavy-handed tactics by Bureau of Sanitation employees, who they say have begun confiscating the possessions of homeless people on Third Avenue during previously routine sidewalk cleanups. gary@argonautnews.com

On Twitter and Capitol Hill, Rep. Ted Lieu has become one of President Trump’s most vocal congressional critics
Defensive
Stand Congressman Ted Lieu makes a play to keep the nuclear football out of Trump’s hands
By Joe Piasecki Technically speaking, nuclear war is little more than a midnight covfefe away. It takes 218 votes in the House of Representatives and 51 votes in the Senate to pass health care or immigration law, but whether to authorize a globally catastrophic nuclear first strike is the decision of just one man: President Donald Trump. And as tensions escalate between Trump and North Korean “rocket man” Kim Jong-un, threats of nuclear annihilation have become White House diplomatic posture — a terrifying new normal. One person having the power to take America into nuclear war is definitely not what Founding Fathers meticulous about checks on executive power would have intended, argues Rep. Ted Lieu (D- Torrance). The former active duty U.S. Air Force officer who represents Westside and South Bay neighborhoods is not only taking the threat of nuclear conflict seriously, he’s trying to put a legislative safety lock on the button. The Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2017, co-introduced by Lieu and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), would require a PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT October 5, 2017
majority of Congress to authorize use of force before the military could execute a presidential order for a nuclear first strike. Lieu, who has gained national notoriety as Trump’s Twitter Antagonist-in-Chief, tells The Argonaut this legislation isn’t a meme, and it’s not about playing politics — we’re living dangerously. The Argonaut: How worried should we be that a nuclear first strike by the White House could actually happen? Rep. Ted Lieu: We should be worried. The president has made very provocative statements in his speeches as well as in his tweets. When the president uses words like “fire and fury” against North Korea, or that he can “totally destroy” North Korea, those words should worry us. Particularly given how easy it is to launch nuclear weapons in the United States. How easy is it? It takes the approval of the National Command Authority, which seems impressive until you read it. It’s two people: the president and his political appointee, the secretary of defense. And under law the secretary of defense can’t
even oppose the order; he just executes it. It’s a ministerial action. The president gives the order, the secretary of defense executes the order, the military gets the order, they run it down the chain of command, missiles launch. That easy. The judiciary is not involved. The legislature is not involved. Nobody else at the White House is involved. That’s why Sen. Markey and I introduced this legislation.
bipartisan bill to restrict the first use of nuclear weapons. We also have a lot of support from organizations that have worked on nuclear weapons issues, like Ploughshares, Global Zero, Council for a Livable World. And we’re getting a lot of grassroots support as people see the president’s reckless and provocative comments. They want to know what they can do about it.
How will a legislative hurdle stop someone who has shown total disregard for traditional governing processes and, as many would say, the law? If this bill becomes law, the president could not do a nuclear first strike without first getting congressional approval. Keep in mind our military is trained to disobey illegal orders. So if military commanders knew Congress didn’t give approval, then they would also know they shouldn’t follow any such order.
So other members of Congress take seriously the prospect of war, even nuclear war, with North Korea? Absolutely. Especially with this president.
What’s been the response to this bill, on both sides of the aisle? Every time the president says or does something crazy, we get more and more support. So I’m pleased it’s now a
What else do your constituents need to know about this situation? The current nuclear launch process is unconstitutional. If you look at the Constitution, the framers went to great lengths to stop the president. They created an entire legislative branch to stop the president. They created an entire judicial branch to stop the president. And then they gave the greatest power they knew at that time — the power to declare war — to Congress. There’s no way the
ArgonautNews.com framers of the Constitution would have contemplated or allowed one person to launch thousands of nuclear weapons that can kill hundreds of millions of people in less than an hour, and not call that war. If you don’t call that war, you write the term out of the Constitution. Our bill is very simple: It says Congress has the power to declare war, and the president can’t do a first use of nuclear weapons without approval from a majority of Congress. The second thing people should know is this applies to a nuclear first strike. It doesn’t apply if we were responding in self-defense. So if North Korea were to launch against us, this bill doesn’t apply. If Russia were to launch against us, this doesn’t apply. This only applies to a premeditated nuclear first strike. I want people to understand this. Is this legislation intended to carry forward for all future presidents? Yes. Sen. Markey and I actually introduced this bill last year when everyone thought Hillary [Clinton] was going to be president. We intended this bill to apply to Hillary Clinton and all future presidents because we believe that
Clause was put in the Constitution by the framers because they believed foreign influence was a danger to the republic. It basically says you can’t accept gifts and payments from foreign countries. Well, President Trump has all these businesses all over the world and they’re accepting foreign payments all the time, and sometimes they’re accepting gifts. You’ve got foreign dignitaries staying at Trump hotels trying to curry favor with the president — that’s just flatout unconstitutional under the Emoluments Clause. I believe he’s committed a number of illegal and unconstitutional acts. One is obstruction of justice, when he fired Director [James] Comey to influence an FBI investigation. When he launched the 59 cruise missiles at Syria, a country that did not attack the U.S., that was unconstitutional because he had no authorization from Congress. You had both Republican and Democratic legislators saying that it was unconstitutional.

— Rep. Ted Lieu
Has the presidency become too powerful a position versus the legislative and judicial branches? In the area of the military, absolutely. I think the executive branch has gotten way more power than is constitutional in terms of engaging in military conflicts, under both Democratic and Republican administrations. During Obama, I sent out numerous statements saying the airstrikes he was conducting in Syria were unconstitutional. He didn’t get any congressional authorization for use of force against Syria.

What are the most surreal aspects of this presidency for you? That Donald Trump doesn’t seem to realize the honor and dignity of the
office, and that a president should not be knocking people — he shouldn’t be calling a news anchor “dumb as a rock”; he shouldn’t be name-calling dangerous world leaders; he shouldn’t be going after NBA and NFL athletes; he shouldn’t be making policy in 140 characters or less. And really the disrespect for the rule of law is just shocking. You have Jared Kushner making false statements on his security clearance application two times. You have Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions lying to Congress in order to get confirmed. And then you have these massive ethical violations, like [former] Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price taking private jets instead of flying commercial at a cost to taxpayers of $400,000 already. That’s why I and four other members of Congress wrote a letter [on Sept. 28] calling on [Price] to resign.

the system needs to change. Donald Trump has now made the issue much more urgent, but we do believe that this is a constitutional issue irrespective of who happens to be president.

with so many things that the public can’t focus on core issues? I think sometimes that may be the case, but after about nine months of this I’ve concluded he’s just an impulsive, angry person who has racist and bigoted views. I don’t actually think he made his comment that there were “some very fine people” at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville to distract — I think he actually believes that. He’s just putting out his racist and bigoted views. Arguably the greatest casualty of the 2016 presidential election season was truth. Does truth even matter anymore in Washington? I served on active duty in the Air Force because I believe America is an exceptional country — the best country in the world. Because of that, I did not set out to resist Donald Trump. Shortly after the election, I issued a public statement that basically said one thing that makes America great is our peaceful transfer of power, Donald Trump won the Electoral College, we should give him a chance to govern. A couple months later I concluded I was wrong. It wasn’t because we disagreed on policy; I disagree with lots of people on policy, both Democrats and Republicans. It was because I saw that Trump was
The “nuclear football” is a leather satchel, containing nuclear codes, that accompanies the president everywhere attacking the institutions of our democracy: attacking the legitimacy of the judiciary; attacking the free press and the First Amendment; he was stifling internal dissent; and he was lying at a rate I’ve never seen a human being lie. The Washington Post tracked everything he

said in the first 100 days and concluded he made over 450 false or misleading statements. Not to be outdone, The New York Times published an article that he made over 800 false or misleading statements in his first six months. When that happens, it makes it hard for people to
Architects & Construction 310.822.7137 | www.rsarch.org
understand the difference between fact and fiction, to distinguish between things that are true or false, and that leads us down the road to authoritarianism. And that’s why I believe President Trump is a danger to the republic. I hope he changes, but until he does I’m going to keep resisting. What should your constituents do about all this? My constituents are doing great. I remember being very sad on election night, all the way to Jan. 20, and on Jan. 21 I saw these amazing women’s marches across America, including in the South Bay. And I thought, this is the country that I know, and there’s more of us than the relatively small movement of Donald Trump. Protests, rallies, calls to members of Congress and the White House, the people who are speaking out on social media and talking to their neighbors and speaking up at work — all that is very helpful for changing public opinion. I have always loved this quote by Abraham Lincoln that “Public sentiment is everything: With it, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.” And my constituents are helping to change public sentiment. I think that’s one reason the Obamacare repeal failed even though you have unified Republican control of the federal government. It’s because the public rose up.

Dustbowl Revival’s latest album unlocked a new sense of purpose, confidence and cohesion for the band
Getting to the Heart ‘American roots orchestra’ Dustbowl Revival livens up Skirball’s Harvest Festival Sunday
By Bliss Bowen It’s been fascinating watching Dustbowl Revival evolve over the years. From their early, freewheeling string-band days playing neighborhood watering holes like the Cinema Bar with as many as 13 members, they’ve evolved into a tight, New Orleans-influenced octet that tours internationally for multigenerational audiences and shifts comfortably from bluegrass breakdowns to second line celebrations. Their entertaining eclecticism has attracted famous fans like Keb’ Mo’; Dick Van Dyke, who memorably danced through their video “Never Had to Go” (a single from their 2015 album “With a Lampshade On”); and Flogging Molly co-founder Ted Hutt, who produced their self-titled fourth album. Bandleader and guitarist/vocalist Zach Lupetin credits the Grammy-winning Hutt with pushing the band to hone their song craft. “He [urged] us to stop going off instru-
mentally and really get to the heart of songs, the theme and energy that makes the song go,” Lupetin says. “He was feeling the soul and funk direction that we were starting to go [in], and he really pushed us forward with that. He was like, ‘Why don’t we focus in a little more and really do songs that connect with each other emotionally.’” “The Dustbowl Revival” consequently boasts a new sense of declarative purpose and cohesion. The band’s always swung with confidence, but this set offers a more complex pairing of what Lupetin calls “more emotionally vulnerable and raw” storytelling and joyful, danceable tunes. Standouts include “Honey I Love You” with Keb’ Mo’ and the vengeful kiss-off “If You Could See Me Now.” The latter tune’s lyrics were penned by frontwoman/ukulele player Liz Beebe, who shares Lupetin’s flair for drama and invests the song with righteous bite and triumph.
The amiably tough-luck tale “Debtors’ Prison” was on the band’s must-do list from the outset. “It’s [about] people who haven’t found their calling, and haven’t found how they’re gonna make it in life,” Lupetin says. “Initially the chorus was inspired by [sings a line from Kenny Loggins’ “Danny’s Song”]: ‘Even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with you honey.’ I’ve always loved that song. What is the dark side of that song? We’re in love with each other, but we’re deep in debt. I read a lot of stuff about people who go to the hospital, they don’t have insurance, and the hospital’s like, ‘Hey, $100,000.’” The bluesy outlier is “Don’t Wait Up.” Unusual for Dustbowl, it’s a topical song, addressing racism over a chilling groove, funeral horns and images of church burnings and lynchings from America’s past that felt all too relevant to the band as they recorded it shortly after the presidential election:
“The church went up in flames And nobody knew their names… Daddy, when will justice be done?... They caught him near Baton Rouge They said boy we got some plans for you Find the highest tree You’ll be flying free… Driving deep He’s swinging in his sleep” Lupetin wanted it to march with the “ominous spookiness” of CCR’s “Born on the Bayou.” Once a “straight melancholy blues” too quiet and dark for previous recordings, it’s now driven by a violin and bass bowing together, creating a slapping effect resembling a drum on the ground. It almost didn’t make it onto the album, but Lupetin and Beebe (“my partner in crime up there”) pushed hard for its inclusion. At one point Hutt encouraged him to rewrite the lyrics to (Continued on page 16)

better blend with an album of songs about love and relationships. But Lupetin sees it as a “father-son story” as well as a poetic tale of an unknown civil rights hero, who goes out one night to seek justice for a church burning, but never returns home to his wife and son. “It’s really almost a period piece,” he says. “People going out and fighting for what they believe in even if they know it’s going to get them killed. It’s a son asking his mother will his dad ever come back. No, he went out and tried to fight for what he believes in and got caught up in a dark story. Those dark stories are different now but they’re still frighteningly realistic.” Another song that almost got tossed was the infectious “Call My Name,” which opens the album with raucous drums and horns. “It went from this song we were gonna throw away to our favorite song on the record,” Lupetin says, laughing. “It kind of slaps you in the mouth.” Three of Dustbowl’s members live on the Westside, including the just-married Lupetin, who lives within walking distance of McCabe’s Guitar Shop, where they just played a sold-out show. He estimates they play between 150 and 200 shows a year, though now that things are slowing down for fall he’s looking forward to the band developing music

that’s been “sort of gestating” for their next album. “The goal really is to keep bringing this music to bigger venues, play with our musical heroes, and hope to move people,” Lupetin says.

1031 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, (310) 314-3625 neighborla.com “There’s an old joke in the industry,” Chris Carver, Neighbor’s director of operations, says smiling. “When it comes to restaurants, only three things matter: location, location, location.” Enter Abbot Kinney Boulevard, where there’s a place to get a bite or a drink at almost every step. And Neighbor, in the spot where Willie Jane operated for eight years until November 2016, is one of the newest restaurants to open. It’s just a few doors down from Felix Trattoria, which occupies the space where Joe’s Restaurant stood for 24 years. “It feels good to launch a concept on a street that is a real destination,” says Neighbor owner Kristian Vallas. “I’ve lived in the neighborhood for about 17 years, so it’s special to create an experience for our friends and neighbors, many who live in walking distance.” Carver, who helped open
downtown L.A.’s Bestia and has worked hands-on with Bill Chait (The Rose, Republique) over the last nine years, says the street’s built-in competition begs the question: “What do we do to separate ourselves from the hoard?” That was Carver’s mission when he was brought on board in mid-July.

Carver adds that working in Venice for the first time has been quite entertaining. “Venice has its own character,” he begins. “I’ve been in L.A. for 11 years, but mainly on the Eastside. And Venice is a completely different beast — so much more laidback, exceptionally more casual.” How so? Well, “everyone thinks they can bring their dog inside,” he says, laughing. “And they have their flips flops in their hands, not on their feet.” And for drinks: People drink tequila and mezcal on the Westside and bourbon and whiskey on the Eastside. Neighbor’s menu emphasizes seasonal local product and presents fare from around the world. “We get inspired globally,” says Luce. “I don’t believe in one signature dish,” he continues. “If you look at our body of work, that’s the signature. Come next year and the menu is different, and that’s the new signature.” Menu standouts include the garden peas salad with burrata,

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A
Why are more homebuyers making offers sight-unseen? One in three homebuyers within the past year made at least one offer before seeing the property, according to a May 2017 Redfin survey. When the survey was conducted in the prior two years, just one in five homebuyers made offers sight-unseen. This survey covers responses from individuals who had bought or sold within the past year in eleven major metros nationwide, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. Of all respondents who purchased a home within the past year:
unseen offers originating from the younger generations. But when given the option, homebuyers should prefer to see the home before purchasing. Sellers prefer buyers see the property, too, as this prevents unwanted surprises down the road.
• 41% of Millennials;
The problem with the housing market in 2016 and 2017 is many homebuyers feel the low inventory situation means they need to place an offer immediately upon listing, often not leaving time for the (usually) necessary home visit.
• 30% of Generation-X-ers; and
Today’s faster, slimmer market
• 12% of Baby Boomers made an offer sight-unseen.
In California’s largest metros, for-sale inventory in May 2017 was lower than a year earlier. Los Angeles saw 12% fewer homes for sale than a year earlier. In San Jose, housing inventory was 29% lower than last year, according to Zillow.
Redfin attributes some of the rise in sightunseen offers to advances in technology, enabling the use of virtual tours and 3D walkthroughs. Without a doubt, home searchers most familiar with technology are more likely to comfortably research property from afar, evidenced by more sight-
Low inventory occurs when homebuyer demand exceeds new home listings. This situation causes:
PAGE 26 At Home – THE ARGONAUT’s Real Estate Section October 5, 2017
• homes to sell quickly; and • prices to rise more rapidly than incomes and interest rates indicate they ought to increase. It can be an exciting time for sellers and their agents, as homeowners are eager to cash in on their investment. But these same sellers can be hesitant to list due to the unavailability of replacement homes on the market. This causes listings to diminish further and the number of real estate fees to fall. The solution is more residential construction — and soon. Specifically, more lowtier homes suitable for most first-time homebuyer incomes are needed. This demographic has found it difficult to break into the housing market, made more frustrating by today’s excess of high-tier inventory. Single family residential (SFR) construction starts are growing at a 10% annual pace in 2017, a fraction of what is needed to keep up with California’s growing population.
Multi-family starts are in worse shape, roughly level with the previous year as of mid-2017. Meanwhile, vacancy rates are at historic lows. Construction needs to rise to combat today’s low inventory, and that is expected to occur toward the end of this decade. However, without a concerted effort to add construction gradually, the state’s housing markets are at the mercy of overbuilding down the road when homebuilders overreact to demand. The resultant oversupply will send prices tumbling — a repeat of conditions seen before the 2008 crash. To gradually build up supply and inventory, builders need the support of lawmakers, who have the power to loosen zoning restrictions and allow more density and smoother permitting processes.

PET ADOPTION
DANIELA, a lovely gray tuxedo cat, loves taking naps in the sunlight and lounging around during the day. She gets along with other cats, and she is friendly when she gets to know you. She needs a forever home, perhaps with you? (vaccinated, spayed, microchipped) NAMER, a very special kitten, was rescued with his littermates from a high-kill shelter that was over-crowded with kittens. Namer is very playful and especially loves exploring. He’s just as sweet as you’d expect a kitten to be and loves cuddles. (vaccinated, neutered, microchipped)
If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please call Voice for the Animals at 310-392-5153 and leave a message for our adoption coordinator. Or you can email adoption@vftafoundation.org.

A Living Legacy
The son of Jim Croce reaches into his father’s ‘tune bag’ for a show at McCabe’s A.J. Croce has rarely sounded like his folk-pop troubadour dad Jim Croce and never less so than on his recently released album “Just Like Medicine.” Recorded with producer and legendary songwriter Dan “Dark End of the Street” Penn, it’s an earthy soul platter rolling in Muscle Shoals grooves — unlike the melodic hits (“Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” “Operator,” “Time in a Bottle”) that had just given the elder Croce his first tastes of fame when he died in a plane crash in 1973. Curiously, father and son both found inspiration in New Orleans and old-school blues, but took divergent paths. A.J. Croce charted his own sound while still a youth fascinated by Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder and playing piano at his mom’s jazz bar in San Diego’s Gaslamp district. He later made his bones as a serious, dark-humored pop craftsman and pianist. Nine albums into his career, now collecting mail with a Nashville zip code, he’s independently established enough to feel comfortable reaching into his father’s tune bag. “Just Like Medicine” includes the elder Croce’s “Name of the Game,” written just before his death;

A.J. Croce is a descendent of music royalty who has forged his own path Croce guest guitarist Vince Gill and the harmonious McCrary Sisters all sound like they were hard at play in the studio. Croce sounds loose and rejuvenated throughout “Just Like Medicine,” like he’s rediscovered his musical sense of purpose, his gleeful keyboard work occasionally evoking Leon Russell (with whom he co-wrote “The Heart That Makes Me Whole”) as he converses instrumentally with guitarists Steve Cropper and Colin Linden and Swampers bassist David Hood.
Come Friday he’ll play guitar as well as piano in a duo with guitarist Michael Bizar, focusing on the new material while revisiting older nuggets from his early days. — Bliss Bowen A.J.

Some women just aren’t sure where the lines are on whether to chip in and when. (Of course, some women are conveniently unsure.) has never squeaked out the words “This one’s on me!”— consider that if there’s one thing heterosexual men and women have in common these days, it’s confusion over who exactly is supposed to pay on dates. The problem driving the confusion is a sort of Godzilla vs. Mothra clash between age-old evolved emotions (still driving us today) and modern-day beliefs about male and female equality. As I explain with some frequency (per big cross-cultural studies by evolutionary psychologist David Buss, among others), women evolved to seek male partners who show they are willing and able to invest in any children they might have. Whether the particular woman actually wants children is immaterial — as in, of zero interest to her emotions. Anthropologist John Marshall Townsend observes from his research and others’ that women’s emotions evolved to act as a sort of police force for
Symons explains that “natural selection takes hundreds or thousands of generations” (generations being 20- to 30-year periods) “to fashion any complex cognitive adaptation.” So women, even now — even highly successful women who can comfortably pay for their own meals (and everyone else’s in the restaurant) — have their emotions pushing them to look for a man who shows generosity, as well as the ability to “provide.” This is reflected in the findings by sociologist Janet Lever and her colleagues from a survey of heterosexual men and women — 17,067 “unmarried and non-cohabitating” heterosexuals, ages 18 to 65 — on the extent to which they embrace or reject the traditional “man pays” dating behavior. (Surprisingly, millennials’ responses were generally pretty close percentage-wise to those of older adults — mostly within a few percentage points.) A snapshot of the responses
conflicted men, some women just aren’t sure where the lines are on whether to chip in and when. (Of course, some women are conveniently unsure.) As for this woman you’re seeing, it is possible that she’s waiting until you two are “exclusive” to start picking up the tab. Instead of assuming the worst, do two things: First, observe and reflect on her behavior and attitudes — so far and as you get to know her — and see whether they suggest an interest in partnership or princess-ship. Second, simply ask: “Hey, we’ve been dating for a while, and it seems like we should start sharing the costs. Where do you stand on that?” See what she says and take it from there — tempting as it is to opt for a passive-aggressive approach, like panhandling outside the restaurant where you’re meeting her: “Hey, Amber. You’re early! … Meet ya inside. Just trying to beg enough for the tip.”

from women: Overall, 57% of women said yes to “I always offer to help pay even on the first date.” But check out the mixed feelings: Many women (39%) wished men would reject their offer to pay. But many (40% of women) said they are bothered when men don’t accept their money. Hello, confusing financial stew! Men’s responses were similarly contradictory. Overall, more than half the men (64%) said that after the first few dates the woman should help pay expenses, and nearly half (44%) said they would stop dating a woman who never offers to pay. Yet, men overwhelmingly — that is, 76% of men — feel guilty if they don’t pay the bill on dates. The reality is, like all of these

a man’s level of commitment — making women feel bad when the investment isn’t there. This leads women to either push a man to invest or ditch him and find a man who will. Men coevolved to expect this, meaning that men evolved to try to appeal to the ladies by showing (or successfully faking) generosity, high status and earning power. Many people mistakenly assume evolved adaptations like this will change with the times, as in, “Ye Olde Evolved Emotions, I’d like to introduce you to Gloria Steinem and the women’s movement.” Unfortunately, evolution is not a lickety-split process — especially when it comes to our psychological engine panel.

Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice, has indicated that he will vote in favor of historic designation. Lloyd Taber was the chauffeur and later confidante of Venice founder Abbot Kinney. Kinney left Tabor one of his homes on Sixth Avenue upon his death in 1920.

The Oakwood bungalow cluster now in question was in the Tabor family for decades but is now owned by Lisa Henson, the daughter of Muppets creator Jim Henson.

Marina-Venice Movie Magic
Festival entries “Counterfeiters” and “Limerence” honor local mise en scène By Christina Campodonico The two films anchoring the Marina del Rey Film Festival and the Other Venice Film Festival this weekend could not be more different. “Counterfeiters,” screening at the Marina del Rey Film Festival on Saturday, is an action-thriller about counterfeit money made on a boat. “Limerence,” opening the Other Venice Film Festival on Friday, is a love story situated in the Los Angeles art world. But both films have strong local ties. Writer-director Bryce Hirschberg, a recent graduate of the Loyola Marymount School of Film and Television, made “Counterfeiters” on his 40-foot Carver in the marina and filmed almost the entire movie in Marina del Rey. Actress-director Tammy Minoff set her romance about an aspiring painter (who she plays) and gallery director on the streets of Venice. For Hirschberg — who wrote, directed, produced and starred in “Counterfeiters” — making his first feature in the marina and on his boat made sense from a production angle. He was already living in the marina on the boat featured in the film. He could easily move from shooting a scene in, say, the Marina City Club to shooting and/or editing on his vessel, cutting down on travel costs. And setting the film about a twentysomething guy who takes up counterfeiting $20 bills to pay for his sick mother’s hospital bills on a boat offered a unique premise. “I wanted to do everything that I had access to. I thought living on a boat is a really unique production value,” says Hirschberg, who self-financed the film and recruited friends and family to act and work behind the scenes, making the entire

picture on a budget of $10,000. Hirschberg also wanted to show the marina in a new cinematic light. “You see the marina in movies, but you never see a movie with a story that takes place in Marina del Rey,” says Hirschberg. “As part of the movie, I want to show how cool this place is.” Tammy Minoff was similarly compelled to shine a light on L.A.’s Westside with “Limerence.” Her first feature film, it’s based on a play she wrote and developed under the guidance of actor Chris Messina (best known as Mindy Lahiri’s boyfriend Danny Castellano on Hulu’s “The Mindy Project”). “I think L.A. sometimes gets a bad rap in movies. … Venice is so unique and beautiful, and I wanted to show how cool the city is, how interesting it is,” says Minoff, a New York state native who originated featured roles in “The Will Rogers Follies” and Neil Simon’s
“The Goodbye Girl” as a child actor on Broadway. “I think people who are not in California have a really different idea of what it’s like. I think people get this stereotypical Hollywood Walk of Fame in their head, and they think that’s what L.A. is. For me it’s the neighborhoods. It’s the people. It’s the art that’s here.” Minoff was so intrigued by Venice’s art world that she hired an art consultant, painter Monique van Genderen, to work with her on the film and paint the protagonist’s pièce de résistance. “I learned a lot about the art scene from her. And what life is like as a painter,” says Minoff. “In the Venice art world — the people that I met and talked to — it’s such an eclectic vibe. … There’s a painter you’re going to find on the street doing sketches and selling portraits on the beach, and there’s somebody in a gallery, selling major paintings. “The colors in Venice really stand out to
me,” she adds. “It’s like stepping into Oz with all of the color that hits you when you first show up in Venice.” For Other Venice Film Festival organizer Reuben De La Casas, the event is not just about showing the spirit and diversity of Venice through movies like “Limerence,” but also bringing the world to the sometimes insular neighborhood. “We’re somewhat isolated on the Westside,” he says. “Some people always stay west of Lincoln. They don’t come out of their shell. So I have to bring this to Venice. We’re west of Lincoln, we’re at Beyond Baroque, so there’s no excuse for them to not come and see these films from around the world.” Meanwhile, Peter Greene, co-founder of the Marina del Rey Film Festival, appreciates being able to show locally-sourced films in a Marina del Rey theater — the AMC Classic Marina Marketplace 6 — for the first time. “The most exciting thing is that we’re able to have the festival in a theater in Marina del Rey. We’ve had it in a hotel ballroom, a mobile theater truck, in theaters that were Marina del Rey-adjacent,” says Greene, “but we love the idea of being in a beautiful theater in the marina.” The Other Venice Film Festival kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday at Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Blvd., Venice. Visit othervenicefilmfestival.com. “Counterfeiters” screens at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at AMC Classic Marina Marketplace 6, 13455 Maxella Ave., Ste. 280, Marina del Rey. $15+.

Jay Carlon’s Annenberg Beach House project brings refugee crisis to our shores

By Christina Campodonico The beach is Jay Carlon’s canvas. This year’s Annenberg Beach House choreographer-in-residence premiers his solodirectorial work “Out of Bounds” this Sunday on the sandy shores below the community pool and recreation center. The inspiration for the piece — influenced by the Syrian refugee crisis, particularly the tragic image of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi washed up dead on a Turkish beach in 2015 — came to Carlon as he was meditating at the beach house and exploring the areas around it. “When I got the residency, I had no idea where the performance was going to be. … I was trying to figure out how to frame this space. It was so vast. I was standing with my feet in the water,” he recalls. “Everyone is relaxing, sunbathing, swimming or having a good time and then the Syrian boy, who washed up on the
The shoreline serves as Jay Carlon’s stage
shore came to mind. How can I create work that will bring attention to a topic and maybe somehow bring a call to action?” On Sunday and at open dress rehearsals on Friday and Saturday, about 30 per-
formers will crawl around in the sand and waves, creating a “flash mob-like” installation that moves across the beach and aims to bring attention to the plight of immigrants and refugees everywhere. As the child of migrant farm workers, immigration is an issue close to Carlon’s heart. “A lot of my work has been about borders and boundaries and lines that divide us, and thinking of these lines — these borders and shores — as these places or sites of trauma, whether it be the Gaza Strip or the Mexican-American border,” says Carlon, who grew up in Santa Barbara County and attended UC Irvine and Cal State Long Beach for dance. “Being a dancer, going to conservatories, and training on these clean studio and pristine stages, it’s great and comfortable, but I felt I needed to get out of something that was so formal … to return to nature,
dirt and my migrant self.” Even though “Out of Bounds” focuses on serious themes, rehearsing on the beach has revealed some of life’s beauties. “There were dolphins swimming in the water that we were rehearsing in,” Carlon said last week, just off a performance at the Broad Museum, where he did improvisatory “dance bombings” amid bluechip artworks by Kara Walker and Jeff Koons five days before. “So seldom do we share rehearsal space with dolphins,” he said. “Today was a good reminder.” “Out of Bounds” debuts at 5 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 8) at the Annenberg Community Beach House, 415 Pacific Coast Hwy, Santa Monica. Open dress rehearsals happen at 5 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday. Free. Call (310) 458-4904 or visit annenbergbeachhouse.com.
