L e t t e r s Not What a Beach Should Look Like Re: “Biohazard Beach,” news, Oct. 1 I’m a very recent transplant to L.A. from the Bay Area who decided to take an exploratory walk on Dockweiler State Beach on Sept. 23. I’ve lived in coastal areas of California my entire life, but I had never seen anything like what I saw that day — hundreds, maybe thousands, of plastic tampon applicators all over the shoreline. At first I thought some joker had thrown a box of tampons in

the water, but there were too many and in too many colors. After about a mile of tampons, I asked one of the many guys in hazmat vests cleaning the beach if there had been some kind of an “event,” but he said no, this was just community service. I’m really happy to have a potential explanation, because I was starting to worry that this was an everyday occurrence. And if El Nino hits hard this year, it’s horrifying to think it might become one. None of us have very much individual control over the

weather or how quickly the Bureau of Sanitation corrects the problem (which they should, and fast). But I have to wonder if many of these plastic tampon applicators got into the sewage system because they were flushed down the toilet. No one should do that. Better still, we could stop buying tampons with plastic applicators at all and use ones with paper or no applicators, or any of the several cheaper and much more sustainable alternatives on the market.

That’s one thing we can control — and to our own benefit, because beaches aren’t supposed to look like that. Heather Pegas Westchester

FROM THE WEB: Re: “Playa del Rey is Making Noise about an Increase in LAX Flyovers,” news, Sept. 10 Thank you for this explanation. I am glad the flyovers will be reduced after Oct. 19. I thought the aircrafts flying over us were “cheating” on their way up north!

Now I understand no cheating is involved. Go-arounds when the runway is occupied and planes can’t land are annoying but unavoidable. Safety first. Thank you for your service to the community, Argonaut. Keep up the good work.

Debra Talbot, a former head of the L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors’ Boating Section who was instrumental in shaping the department’s overall public communications strategy, died last week aboard the sailboat she lived on in Marina del Rey harbor. She was 55. A resident of the marina for 27 years, Talbot was project manager of the Marina del Rey WaterBus, which has shuttled more than 250,000 riders through the harbor since its inception in 2004. Talbot sat on the Marina del Rey Historical Society’s board of directors and had served as vice president of the Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade. Talbot, who often went by Debbie, was a member of the California Yacht Club

and the Catalina Fleet of Santa Monica Bay. As a college women’s lacrosse goalkeeper for Debra Talbot Slippery Rock University in her native Pennsylvania, Talbot set the record for most saves in a game — 31 against Penn State University. Marina del Rey Sheriffs’ Station deputies found Talbot dead aboard her vessel last Thursday. Her cause of death had not been determined at press time and official identification was pending notification of next of kin, Los Angeles County Coroner investigator Ed Winter said.

No Penalty for Kardashian Fireworks L.A. County prosecutors have decided not to file a disturbing the peace charge against the operator of the pyrotechnics company that launched a midnight fireworks show over Marina del Rey in August to entertain guests of a Kardashian yacht party. That’s because the L.A. County Fire Department not only gave a permit for the fireworks, it also sent a fire captain to watch, according to a District Attorney’s office report declining the Marina del Rey Sheriff Station’s request to prosecute.

The surprise fireworks show generated noise complaints throughout Santa Monica Bay, prompting L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe to launch a county investigation into what went wrong. L.A. County Fire Chief Darryl Osby confirmed that his department gave permission for the fireworks in an Oct. 1 letter responding to the probe. The letter calls for greater interagency cooperation and proposes a new requirement that anyone planning to launch fireworks after 9 p.m. get direct permission from the fire chief.

Pier 44 Lease Extension Delayed The developer planning to remake Marina del Rey’s Pier 44 into a 13-acre retail-and-recreation complex with a waterfront Trader Joe’s will ask the county’s Small Craft Harbor Commission to approve a lease extension for the property, but not just yet. Initially planned for discussion at the commission’s Oct. 14 meeting, the matter has now been delayed to a later meeting, project land use consultant Aaron Clark said. Pacific Marina Ventures LLC plans to ask the commission to extend the company’s lease on 4.68 waterfront

acres of the Pier 44 parcel through 2062. The Regional Planning Commission has already approved redevelopment plans that, in addition to the Trader Joe’s, include a West Marina retail store, boat repair shot, boat sales office and a new home for the South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club. Marina del Rey Boating Coalition member Jon Nahhas has filed an appeal against the Pier 44 redevelopment that will be heard when the project goes before the L.A. County Board of Supervisors for final approval.

Sewer Route Gets a Vote Plans to run a new underground sewer line through the Marina Peninsula face a vote by the California Coastal Commission on Friday, but residents wishing to speak for or against the project will have to head to Long Beach to do so.

“I’ve counted no less than 24 separate rentals, with an average of two cars for three nights and four people over 87 days. That’s 96 guests, 72 days, 44 cars and 22 maid services to clean up after them. Four times the LAPD was called by me and my neighbors to demand they cease noisemaking and demand that they stop smoking outside on the home’s balcony until 4 a.m. Last week I was awoken again only to discover that one young man and woman from the home were actually sitting on my front doorstep smoking cigarettes and speaking to someone on the phone.” — Brian Wald, Silver Strand

“I’ve had nothing but the nicest young people come stay with me. Recently I had two young girls from Chicago who are trying to relocate to L.A., and it’s providing them with traditional housing before they can get an apartment. I think [Airbnb] is a wonderful alternative to a highpriced hotel room on the Westside.” — Rebecca Eliason, Mar Vista

“Without renting rooms in my home, I would not be able to send my daughter to college when she’s ready to go. The financial assistance has been crucial for my daughter and me.” — Patrick Healy, Mar Vista

“Over the past three years I’ve been able to supplement my [single] income as an Airbnb host. In addition, because of Airbnb hosting my two children are meeting people from all over the world. It is crucial to point out that the [people] who travel this way are a new market of travelers. This is a class of people who would not normally be able to travel due to the high cost.”

“I live next to and have experienced a fraternity party, screaming wedding guests, loud music and a nude photo shoot. The owner of the home is an absentee. We’re not Cancún or Vegas, and we don’t deserve to live like this. Owners living on their property renting a spare room or a guest house should be allowed to home-share; absentee owners should not.” — David Dufay, Venice Canals

— Angela Aaron, Venice

“I have to say, because of Airbnb, we are one of the nicest houses in our neighborhood. We maintain the exterior of our house to make it a pleasant place for guests who want to stay with us. It increases the value of our home.”

“The short-term rental next door to my home is operated as an oceanfront resort hotel. Their guests are understandably in holiday mode 24 hours a day, seven days a week, six feet from my windows. I feel [as though] I am an involuntary guest of this hotel.”

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly City officials attempting to regulate short-term vacation rentals get an earful in Mar Vista By Gary Walker For those earning extra income by renting out a room, it’s a godsend. For those living next to nonstop keg parties lining an absentee landlord’s pockets, there goes the neighborhood. The challenge of balancing homeowners’ rights with those of their neighbors as short-term vacation rentals proliferate throughout the Westside was on full display last week in Mar Vista, where Los Angeles city officials were soliciting feedback to inform a pending regulatory effort. More than 350 people packed the Mar Vista Recreation Center on Sept. 29 to tell local planning officials stories (including many of those above) about their experiences either operating or living next to short-term vacation rentals. PAGE 8 THE ARGONAUT October 8, 2015

“In Mar Vista, the number of shortterm rentals advertised increased by nearly 60% between October 2014 and July 2015. Building a path out of the housing crisis in L.A. is doomed to fail if commercial short-term rental growth continues to undermine new housing construction at these rates.” — Roy Samaan, Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy

Taken altogether, the thousands of short-term vacation rentals offered in Westside neighborhoods through online

broker sites such as Airbnb have become a largely unregulated temporary housing submarket.

Detractors say the practice takes longterm rental housing off the market, driving up rents and forcing residents to compete with tourist dollars by turning residential housing units into de facto hotel rooms. If considered hotel rooms, L.A. zoning rules would technically prohibit shortterm rentals in residential neighborhoods, but so far such rules have gone largely unenforced. Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents the Westside, and Council President Herb Wesson are pushing for a new city ordinance that would officially recognize short-term rentals but create a legal framework to regulate and tax them. The challenge lies in creating legal definitions that distinguish between a fixed-income senior renting out a room

by commercial operations and were exacerbating the lack of affordable rental units in L.A.’s already tight housing market.” Roy Samaan, the author of the report, said those impacts have extended beyond beachside hotspots such as Venice and Playa del Rey. “In Mar Vista, the number of short-term rentals advertised increased by nearly 60% between October 2014 and July 2015. Building a path out of the housing crisis in L.A. is doomed

to fail if commercial short-term rental growth continues to undermine new housing construction at these rates,” Samaan said. Airbnb counters Samaan’s study with research they conducted with members of UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Policy. According to that report, less than 1% of all housing units in L.A. are rented for more than 177 days on a short-term basis through Airbnb. Citing an essentially unchanged

housing vacancy rate from 2005 to 2013, the report concludes that Airbnb has had “no material impact” on the overall housing market in L.A. People on both sides of the short-term rentals issue have expressed potential support for city rules that would mainstream and regulate the practice. “Home sharing allows people to turn what is typically one of their greatest expenses into a tool to help make ends meet.

Almost half of Airbnb hosts in Los Angeles work in the arts, entertainment and recreation industries. This proposal demonstrates L.A. is embracing home-sharing and the peer economy,” Airbnb spokeswoman Alison Schumer said. The Los Angeles Short Term Rental Alliance has also expressed preliminary support for short-term rental regulations. gary@argonautnews.com

on weekends and an investor converting an apartment building into a hotel. “For me, one of the most important aspects is distinguishing between the ‘bad’ short term rentals and the ‘good’ shortterm rentals,” said Bonin. Asked to clarify, Bonin puts “de facto hotels that are taking affordable housing off the market, investors and speculators” in the first category, and residents who are engaged in “genuine home-sharing” through renting their home or a spare room on a temporary basis in the latter. Under the ordinance proposed by Bonin and Wesson, those who conduct short-term rentals would be required to pay the same transit occupancy tax paid by hotels and would be prohibited from renting units or buildings that are not also their primary residence. Bonin said he hopes to have a draft ordinance by early next month. Melissa Williams, sales manager at the Hotel Erwin in Venice, said there were as many as 1,400 short-term rentals drawing potential customers away from local hotels that provide workers with stable jobs with health insurance benefits. “This is a 911 call for the council to enact clear, strong enforcement and regulations for legal short-term rentals,” she said. “This affects our ability to grow and impacts our employees greatly. Despite what many say, most home-sharing units around us are not truly sharing units — they are entire apartment buildings.” Mar Vista community activist Sherri Akers said she’s in favor of rules that would prevent short-term rentals from eroding housing stock in high-demand neighborhoods but still allow homeowners to earn a little extra money on the side by opening their primary residences to tourists. “I see this as an important consideration for our seniors as they try to age in place,” Akers said. Keeping affordable housing units out of the hands of short-term rental operators is crucial, Bonin said. A study published in March by the labor-affiliated Los Angeles Alliance for New Economy concludes that affordable housing is being lost to homesharing sites such as Home Away and Airbnb. The report states that short-term vacation rental listings are “dominated

Power to Speak

Kermit Alexander’s Remarkable Return

UCLA All-American brings his tale of overcoming personal tragedy to KELPS brother Rahim Javan’s Sports Harbour By Thomas Pleasure, UCLA KELPS ‘61 Word traveled quickly through the UCLA KELPS’ network of several hundred members last month that Simon & Schuster had just published Kermit Alexander’s heartbreaking book, “The Valley of the Shadow of Death: A Tale of Tragedy and Redemption.” A First Team All-American who went on to be a first-round NFL draft pick and later president of the NFL Players Association, Kermit is a legendary KELP from the 1960s. The KELPS, UCLA’s first religious and ethnically integrated men’s group, existed from 1948 to 1970 at the express urging of head coaches John Wooden and Red Sanders. This elite spirit group was comprised of the Big Men on Campus: star athletes, student body presidents, select fraternity presidents, the campus humor magazine editor, head cheerleader and only the most daring of pranksters. The diverse KELPS were the ultimate student membership. Kermit, now 74, was living a life earned by athletic excellence when in 1984 fate visited upon him a tragedy that none of UCLA’s 500 initiated KELPS ever had to deal with: the senseless murders of his mother, sister and two young nephews in South L.A. by a street gang hitman who struck the wrong house. Thirty agonizing years later, Kermit has broken through that horror to the other side and brought with him a terrific tale of redemption, co-authored by two criminal justice professors. Fellow ‘60s KELP Rahim Javan, who was a Bruin All-American wrestler, has invited Kermit to sign copies of his book on Tuesday at Rahim’s popular Sports Harbour Bar & Restaurant in Marina del Rey. Barnes & Noble will be on hand with 100 copies.

Kermit Alexander opens up about football stardom and the errant gang hit that killed his family in his new memoir, “The Valley of the Shadow of Death: A Tale of Tragedy and Redemption” We KELPS hope to get Kermit’s redemptive story on the national bestseller list. Rahim says signings will happen in front of his wall-sized photo of the 1951 KELPS of UCLA Bus, with its zany members hanging anti-nuke messages out the windows. “I had just transferred from Fullerton JC to UCLA and joined the Fiji fraternity. All of a sudden I was a member of the KELPS — their only member from Iran — sitting on the 40 yard line at games, protecting the campus from invading Trojans, traveling to foreign campuses to cheer the basketball team on,” reminisces Rahim. “It was Heaven. I was Mr. Inside, instead of who’s that …” Kermit and Rahim, who both earned All-American honors in 1962, will discuss their long friendship during the signing. These two were bosom buddies, Kermit tells me: “We looked alike. We were

brothers from the same lodge, but from different countries.” I asked Kermit how his membership in the KELPS benefitted him, a college student who at the time already had a national reputation. “This was a rare integrated group of men who wanted to know each other; they wanted to have better relations with one another. With Kennedy’s election the Civil Rights Movement was heating up. The diverse KELPS — the BMOC — were proof of UCLA being an ‘open campus,’ one where minorities were not segregated but were part of the heart of UCLA.” I reminded Kermit of the brutal joke telling sessions at our monthly meetings. Laughing, he answered that “because we were pranksters, we joked with each other. Blacks made their jokes, whites made their jokes, Jews made their jokes and the Mormons defended themselves.” After a short, thoughtful pause, he continued: “This is how prejudices are broken down; this is how racism is defeated. What was important is that we had the opportunity to express ourselves without it being seen as a derogatory attack. All those interactions, as funny and as biting as they were, were done with the knowledge that we trusted each other. With trust, our comments couldn’t be misinterpreted. We had each other’s backs. This camaraderie had nothing to do with color and everything to do with a ‘spiritual’ connection.” Spiritual, I interjected, as in the nude initiation rite in Santa Monica Bay in the dead of night? “Spiritual events were never photographed; hard to say what happened,” Kermit replied with a chuckle. “UCLA, originally the ‘Southern Campus’ of UC Berkeley, always had the reputation of being inclusive,” he continued. “The history of African-American athletes at UCLA goes back to before the KELPS, to the late ‘30s, when Woodrow

Wilson “Woody” Strode played thespian, javelin thrower and wide receiver on a football team run by “General” Kenny Washington. Even Los Angeles’s five-time Mayor Tom Bradley ran track at UCLA before World War II. “In my era, NFL Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson, also a KELP, was a role model for African-American athletes. He blazed a trail from UCLA to the ‘49ers that no one in the NFL has yet to duplicate. We follow the elders, and we try to improve upon their achievements,” he said. When I finally brought up the nightmarish killings of his family, Kermit’s response was heart-wrenching but not surprising. “Reading the book is pain,” he said. “There’s anger. Worse is the feeling of helplessness. Coming to grips with the reality that there is nothing you can do but pray that you survive.” Tuesday’s book signing, however, will be a nostalgic reminder of the good times before tragedy struck. Even one of the 12 original KELPS of ’48 is coming. In the final analysis, Kermit’s triumphant return illustrates the character it takes, and the belief system required, for one to emerge from the valley of the shadow of death. Kermit Alexander signs “The Valley of the Shadow of Death: A Tale of Tragedy and Redemption,” from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, at Sports Harbour, 13484 W. Washington Blvd., Marina del Rey. To reserve a copy, call (310) 823-0933. Thomas Pleasure, author of “Venice of America: The American Dream Come True,” is currently at work on a memoir titled “Autobiography of an Activist: A Serendipitous Journey from Brooklyn to Venice Beach.” He was initiated into the KELPS in 1961 as their only railroad switchman.

Enclosing the porch, a common practice at that time, makes it possible to sit outside/inside into the evening all year long. The trick for us today is to see through neglect to the architectural features and to recognize the story behind them. This house, like the other bungalows, was built with passive solar cooling by utilizing the low-tech solution of double hung windows. These can be opened on the bottom and on the top to allow cool air to circulate into the house and hot air to circulate out. The original pantry cooler is still in the kitchen. High ceilings and the orientation of the windows also enhance air circulation. This is a house that breathes. A city needs to know itself.

By Susan Suntree In 1875, the amazing Arcadia Bandini de Baker and her new husband teamed up with wealthy silver magnate Senator John P. Jones to found Santa Monica. One of seven original bungalows built on a lot owned by Senator Jones is where I’ve lived and written for 31 years. Lacking the protections that come with an historic landmark district, it might soon be torn down and replaced with a high-density apartment building. The whole cluster of early 20th-century bungalows on 11th Street between Arizona Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard is a rare piece of the city’s early history like nothing else within Santa Monica’s original boundaries, and this history deserves to be celebrated and protected. Still standing on the original subdivision in almost their original shape, these seven bungalows built between 1904 and 1913 (and one back house built in 1924) were homes to the middle-income people — carpenters, brick kiln owners and artists — whose dreams and schemes created our city and contributed to developing the film culture of Greater Los Angeles. Made of old-growth redwood and Douglas fir, they stand as a kind of architectural documentary about the life and growth of Santa Monica and a testimony to the ordinary people who actually did the work it took to create this city. Designating the bungalow I rent at 1223 11th St. as an historic landmark would preserve the integrity of the bungalow cluster for historic landmark district designation, thereby preserving it for generations to come. Saving this cluster is supported by the writings of such luminary architectural historians as Robert Winters and Thomas Hines, who have described it as a treasured record of the way Santa Monicans once lived and of an urban philosophy about ordinary people’s housing that involved artistic care down to the smallest of details — even the window pulls. Winters has written that “only rarely in all of history has architecture been found

Something Real Lukas Nelson hits the road with Neil Young By Beth Peerless Talking with Lukas Nelson over the phone is hardly any different than sitting next to him at the bar having a drink. As he relaxed in the afternoon at Mercede’s Grill in Marina del Rey with a Bloody Mary in hand, the part-time Venice resident kindly shared more than a few interesting aspects of what it’s like to be country music icon Willie Nelson’s son and the influence it’s had on his own career in music. Performing Wednesday at The Forum with his band Promise of the Read backing Neil Young, 26-year-old Nelson is in many ways a chip off the ol’ block. His father has been a strong influence on him since he was young and has been incredibly supportive of his choice of career. The same goes for his brother Micah Nelson, with the Venice-based band Insects vs. Robots. The siblings often share the stage with their father, as well as with other music icons such as Young and Bob Weir. Clearly it doesn’t suck to be Willie’s son. “When I was a young kid, I picked up the guitar and started playing around,” Lukas Nelson said about his early efforts PAGE 14 THE ARGONAUT October 8, 2015

days, having juggled a few gigs with his band in early summer before heading out on the road with Young —“Uncle Neil,” Nelson calls him on social media — in support of Young’s latest recording, “The Monsanto Years.” “There’s a lot of backlash it seems right now where people are saying that he’s anti-science and he’s just a hippie and doesn’t know anything,” Nelson said about the material he performs on the album and on tour. “I stand behind what he says. Because if you really listen to what he’s saying, what he’s being criticized for isn’t what he’s saying. GMOs may be bad or good, but we deserve to know. We have the right to know what’s put in our food. Companies like Monsanto are deliberately trying to prevent us from having that right by suing states that try to label their food either GMO or not GMO. To me, if you believe your product isn’t dangerous, then you won’t mind that people can decide for themselves.” Brother Micah, on guitar, has joined Promise of the Real as Young’s backing band for this tour, providing opportunities for Young and both the Nelsons to dig into their respective instruments to trade off

licks and provide exciting interplay on a number of songs. Following a show in Milwaukee, a reviewer commented that “they may very well be the most sympathetic and versatile band Young has ever shared a stage with.” After Wednesday’s gig at The Forum, Promise of the Real plays another scheduled tour stop with Young on Oct. 17 at U.C. Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, followed by the annual Bridge School Benefit Concert in Mountain View. Coincidentally, the name Promise of the Real was culled eight years ago from one of Young’s songs, “Walk On” (“Some get stoned / some get strange / But sooner or later / it all gets real”) and Nelson said he’s stoked that now he’s getting to play with him. “And so it’s kind of full circle,” Nelson said. “We would spend hours listening to Neil and just jamming along with it on bongos and acoustic guitar or whatever, and that was it. We just kind of started around that,” he explains in a video posted to the band’s website. When asked where it is he calls home, he said, “I don’t really consider anywhere

home. I’m spending a lot of time in Hawaii. Grew up there and went to high school there. I was born in Austin, Texas. I spend a lot of time in L.A. in Venice Beach, which is where I am now. My parents have a home here. I grew up going back and forth, between just the open road, L.A., Maui and Austin.” Yep, life as a Nelson has its perks, and it’s not lost on the young man who takes his work seriously. He’s got his eyes on the kind of career his father has enjoyed, making the road his home and going the long haul. Are there drawbacks, or is it really all good? “Oh absolutely. In every way possible,” he said without hesitation. “I don’t feel like there are any negatives to it. I feel blessed to be living the life I am. So many other people don’t have a sliver of what I have. I’m just trying to enjoy it for those people and appreciate it. Because I know if I was in another position, I’d be having to work really hard. I’ve gotten a lot of breaks in the music business because of my dad. It’s great. I feel that I’m very lucky. A lot of musicians who are way more talented don’t get the same kind of

support. I’ve nothing to complain about.” Sometime in the fall, Nelson will release a full-length recording that he and his band already have in the can, recorded in San Francisco at the William Westerfeld mansion, a historic monument across the street from Alamo Square. “We pulled all the equipment from my friend’s place in Austin, we shipped it out and set up the studio in this old mansion where Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead and a lot of people hung out, at Fulton and Scott.” That sure must have been cool, connecting with that history. That’s not something just any musician can pull off. “Oh totally, and the record really reflects that, the vibe,” he said. “So I’m really looking forward to putting it out. It’s called ‘Something Real.’” And the circle remains unbroken. Neil Young and Promise of the Real play a 7:30 p.m. show on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at The Forum, 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood.

Invertigo Dance Theatre performers navigate a bar set in “Reeling,” a show about love, conflict and having one too many

Dance Walks into a Bar “Reeling” explores the search for human connection in the rhythms of a raucous night out

By Christina Campodonico For someone unfamiliar with modern dance, going to a contemporary dance concert may inspire anxiety, even trepidation. But when someone goes to an Invertigo Dance Theatre performance, artistic director Laura Karlin doesn’t want theatergoers to feel stupid or afraid. Instead, she wants to invite viewers into the dancers’ world. “I think if you invite the audience in, you can really challenge them and they’ll go with you so far down that rabbit hole, whatever rabbit hole you choose,” says Karlin, who founded the L.A.-based dance company in 2007. As a choreographer, she has explored rabbit holes as serious as a society in the wake of a natural disaster and as eccentric as a docent-led, museum-style tour through a contemporary dance work. Karlin’s latest venture is a scenario that many may know all too well (or may have completely forgotten) — a wild night out. Entitled “Reeling,” the dance is set in a dive bar and follows eight characters as they attempt to make various kinds of connections with each other throughout the night. Friday’s show inside the Moss Theater at New Roads School kicks off Invertigo’s first regional tour of Southern California.

The concept for “Reeling,” which was originally commissioned in 2009 and dramatically reworked for the tour, comes from the word’s double meaning. “‘Reeling’ from that place where you’re off balance … where you’ve had too

within a real-world situation. “I’m using what I hope is a recognizable context … in order to then explore a sort of deeper thread,” says Karlin of the bar scene where her dancers meet, mingle, leap off counters and entangle each other

“I think everyone has had that experience of an evening where things have begun as normal and spiraled in many directions you could not have foreseen. In many ways, that’s kind of the story of every adventure.” — Laura Karlin much to drink, or you have been punched in the face, or you’ve fallen in love at first sight, or all of these things that knock us off balance. And then why do we go to a bar if often to make that connection? To reel someone in,” says Karlin about the word-play. The title suggests a whimsically offkilter approach to dance-making, but the show’s setting in a fictional watering hole — the set is a bar that can fold up into the back of a truck — is actually a space to explore character and movement

in fishing lines. A goldfish swirling in one dancer’s wine glass even makes an appearance. For Karlin, the fanciful dynamics and familiar scenery are entry points for dramatizing universal themes of love, rejection and desire. “I’m really interested in cracking open this desire for human connection that we all have and the ways that it can manifest itself, the ways that we try to connect. What happens when it goes very right, you know? When it’s romantic or tender

or funny? And what happens when it goes really wrong? What happens when it is violating or violent? Or confusing or humiliating? How are all the ways that we’re reacting with one another building up? And so human interaction is at the heart of this show,” muses Karlin. Yet it’s “Reeling’s” appeal to a common experience that may best encompass Karlin’s philosophy toward dance as an inclusive, rather than an exclusive, activity. “I think that we’ve all had a reeling night out,” says Karlin, who encourages an open interpretation of her work. “I think everyone has had that experience of an evening where things have begun as normal and spiraled in many directions you could not have foreseen. In many ways, that’s kind of the story of every adventure.” Invertigo Dance Theatre’s “Reeling” opens at 8 p.m. Friday at the Moss Theater in the Herb Alpert Educational Village at New Roads School, 3131 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica. Tickets are $27; $20 for students. “Reeling” continues with 8 p.m. Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday performances. Call (424) 229-2141 or visit invertigodance.org. October 8, 2015 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 17

could have said I was taking the baguette sandwich home for my roommate, but why lie? The cheerful woman taking my order would soon see me scarf down both meals at the restaurant’s lone picnic table, avoiding the icy stares of the beer bottles in the fridge beside me. I briefly considered ordering my food to go. A nice picnic on the beach is a true luxury of this casual, beachy spot. It would make a cool Instagram photo. #LAlife. But, who am I kidding? Sundays are my hermit days, when I try to avoid as much human interaction as possible. That’s why I chose to stay safely inside the liquor store cave where these Vietnamese treasures lie. It was only a few minutes before my order was up (service is timely here, but the ASAP actually stands for Asian Sandwiches and Pho), and I was sure to grab all the fixings: hoison sauce, Siracha, jalapeno peppers and some lime wedges to temper the heat.

“It’s purified water,” she said, then something about “adding ionic minerals and adjusting the water’s PH level.” Apparently Gordon’s is the only place in the area that filters it naturally. Hm, sounds fancy. Sitting back down, I realized I had hit my limit — or had I just ran out of food? There I was, with an empty bowl and ripped-up sandwich wrapper laid out before me. Bouncing back to reality, I realized there were a few things I needed to buy before I left. Coffee filters, paper towels, a lotto ticket if I wanted. The possibilities are

The warm, perfectly salted broth of the Mary’s Chicken Pho slowly slipped me into a world of euphoria. The colors around me seemed brighter, as though I was seeing a film in color for the first time. Perhaps I am being overdramatic, but it truly made my day. After about ten gulps of my pho, I opened up my “roommate’s” sandwich. The bread had a delicious crunch that was only outdone by the fresh, flavorful veggies inside that were seasoned and pickled to perfection. At that point there was a voice in my head urging me to continue my life asking to be paid only in Asian sandwiches and soup. Oh, life would be good. There I was, peacefully falling into an alternate universe, when I heard a familiar question. It was something I had wondered time and time again walking into the market but had never taken time to investigate: “What’s the deal with the alkaline water?” a customer asked the woman at the checkout counter behind me. I peeked my head over the candy aisle to have a look at the owner’s response and put my lip reading skills to the test.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A

Three Sanity-Saving Tips For Moving-In Day No matter how intensely you prepare for moving day, you may still face problems if you overlook three sanity-defeating challenges. Can you and your partner really think clearly when swamped by distractions, exhaustion, and disorientation? If the ramped-up activity of moving day represents less pressure than a typical day for you, you’ll probably find your upcoming move-in day a breeze. Most people do not regularly handle logistics and problem solving on so many levels at once, and can become distracted, exhausted, and disoriented by moving day. This deflated state sets the moving-day stage for putting your foot in your mouth, saying something you’ll regret disclosing, and blowing a fuse over a minor problem. The issue here is that the whole new neighborhood is watching — either from the sidewalk or from behind curtains — so none of this image-marring behavior goes unnoticed. Adopt these 3 Crucial Sanity-Saving Tips for living happily beyond moving day and you’ll make settling into your new home a great success:

intentions. With your head packed full of moving details and your brain in a state of exhaustion from moving out of your last home and preparing to set up your new home, you are not as in charge of your brain and your mouth as usual. Acknowledge you’ll be distracted and be prepared. Just as celebrities prepare responses for paparazzi, think about what you want to say before the day arrives. If a wildfire of neighborhood curiosity engulfs you, how will you respond to:”What did you pay for the house?” or “Why did you have to move?” When asked personal questions about family and your occupation, a light-handed, but respectful response in “love to tell you more later”-style may be a friendlier response than disjointed descriptions or “not now please” rebuffs. Make politeness your goal for the day even if neighbor behavior tests your resolve.

#2 Fight Exhaustion and Prepare for Energy Plus The sustained physical and mental stress of moving out of the old home and into the new one, even if you have lots of help, will disrupt your routines. Fast-food and junk food may seem like an easy fix, but your exhausted moving team (including you) needs more substance to be continually refreshed and recharged during the moving process. Expect this and stock up on nutritional supplements, healthy quick foods, bottled water, non-sugar drinks, and fruit, and encourage catnaps whenever feasible. Avoid sugar, caffeine, and alcohol until after the last box is safely inside

#1: Anticipate Distraction and Prepare to Think Ahead Distraction is not a physical state, but a mental one. In a car, you can have both hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, cell etc off, and still be distracted while driving. The moving experience represents a huge mental distraction, so that what you say to new neighbors can get you off on the wrong foot in spite of your best

Who Needs Hollywood? The Other Venice Film Festival makes its own cinematic scene By Christina Campodonico Film festival organizer Reuben De La Casas, also known as “Ruby Tuesday,” doesn’t often go east of the 405. A surfer, he prefers to stay “A.W.O.L.” — “always west of Lincoln.” “I go to Hollywood sometimes and they can tell you’re from Venice,” says De La Casas, who feels a little out of place there. But that doesn’t stop him from bringing a touch of Tinseltown to Venice each year for the Other Venice Film Festival, now in its 12th year. The festival (its very name a statement of alternative identity) opens Friday with “Actor for Hire.” Shot in and around Venice, the satiric comedy by L.A.-based director Marcus Mizelle follows a struggling actor as he attempts to break into the biz. The protagonist lacks a full head of hair, so he starts wearing a cheap wig to land roles. Though the film concerns itself with the not-so-glamorous side of jobhunting in Hollywood, Venice itself plays a crucial role in setting the mood for one pivotal scene. “While location scouting, I had a lightbulb moment while driving through Venice. I parked at the Canals, got out and walked around. … The energy of this setting matched directly to the vibe of the scene in my mind — positive and happy and colorful,” Mizelle wrote in an email interview.

score section in the festival and hopes to add an iPhone movie category next year. That edginess may now be more important than ever as startups and tech companies rapidly move into the area and threaten to price out Venice’s artistic scene, he says. “We’re losing Venice culture,” says De La Casas, citing the movement of artists, musicians and performers away from the neighborhood due to rising housing prices. To combat the change, De La Casas likes to keep things local during the festival, not only by presenting films that embody the “the spirit and diversity of Eric Roberts and Elizabeth Rice in Much of “Actor for Hire” was shot Venice” but also by “inviting as many “Paradise Club” on location in Venice locals as possible,” he says. He wants the As in “Actor for Hire,” the Other Venice Eric Roberts.

Rethinking Carmen Opera’s great femme fatale becomes a woman in search of freedom in the hands of South Africa’s Isango Ensemble By Christina Campodonico Whether portrayed as an evil seductress, a wildly free spirit or an unfortunate victim of her own charms, Carmen, the title role of Georges Bizet’s 1875 opera, has long been a woman of controversy. But for the Isango Ensemble’s Pauline Malefane, this leading role is much more than gendered stereotypes. The South African opera star returned to The Broad Stage last weekend with her company to play the infamous gypsy in “uCarmen.” She performs again this weekend before the ensemble heads off to Baltimore. The production, based on the company’s 2005 Berlin International Film Festival award-winning film “U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha,” sets the classic opera in a modern day South African township, but also places Carmen’s womanhood at the center of the opera. “In the traditional setup, she’s seen as this woman who doesn’t have control, who sleeps around. If she wants that man, that man is hers. If she doesn’t want that man she moves on,” Malefane explains. Embroiled in a contentious Spanish love triangle, Carmen is often characterized as the ultimate femme fatale — fierce, saucy and promiscuous. In Malefane’s view, such representations are based on a male perception of Carmen, rather than Carmen’s complex relationship to men. So Malefane takes a more nuanced approach to the character. To inform the role, she draws on her personal experience of seeing women struggling to survive in her home township of Khayelitsha. “I ask myself, having grown up in a township, what are the rhythms of the woman behaving like this? I’m not trying to defend the way she behaves. I’m trying to understand the character, and I’m trying to understand Carmen,” Malefane says. Malefane ultimately sees Carmen’s wayward actions as symptomatic of the unequal circumstances under which many women live. “She’s not perfect, but it’s a typical woman who’s trying to survive in a

male-dominated society. She’s trying to free herself from the world of being told what to do and when to do it,” Malefane says. In that way, Carmen’s plight is more universal than audiences might realize. “For me, Carmen represents every woman on Earth — married or not, children or no children, morals or no standards,” Malefane says. “It could be

me. It could be you. … It could be the queen of England.” That Carmen could indeed be every woman is what inspires Malefane’s work on this particular production. With Malefane at the helm as lead actress and co-founder of the Isango Ensemble, “uCarmen” is an opportunity to challenge the opera’s familiar gender dynamics. “The one thing that drives me about the

character is the point of education.” Malefane says. “With ‘Carmen’ what we wanted to achieve was to educate women and bring back their self-worth. We are human beings who are as equally important as men.” Malefane’s favorite line from the opera probably sums up this mission best. In the last act, right before Carmen meets her fate, she tells her crazed lover Don José, “Free I was born and free I will die.” It’s a mantra that this production seeks to drive home.

‘People of the Babak’ Mar Vista art duo takes over Trunk Gallery on Saturday Painters Mitchelito Orquiola and Chalavie (aka Charlotte Vanhaecke) don’t just share a workspace at Mar Vista’s Grand View Fine Arts Studios. They share art. Collaboration in visual art is nothing new — Warhol and Basquiat, Pollack and Krasner, to name a few. But Orquiola and Chalavie take it to a unique extreme, sharing a canvass by painting over each other’s brush strokes and kissing control and ego goodbye. Orquiola is self-taught and from the Philippines. Chalavie is much younger and from France. While the pairing may appear slightly incongruous, the work is anything but. Watch the two of them share a canvas on Saturday as they live-paint during the opening of their joint exhibit “People of the Babak” at Mar Vista’s Trunk Gallery. “Babak” is the name that Orquiola and Chalavie have given their creative continuum, which has included a series of portraits crafted over the past year. For a preview of the show, look no further than the front of Trunk Gallery, which Orquiola and Chalavie decorated with a site-specific abstract mural in September. — Joe Piasecki

A portrait of Tom Waits by “Babak” “People of the Babak” opens with a reception from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at Trunk Gallery, 12818 Venice Boulevard, Mar Vista. The exhibit remains on public display from noon to 6 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 1. Call (310) 483-7221 or visit trunkgallery.org.

Arts and Crafts BAM Fest serves up 100+ microbrews to help sustain the creative community at 18th Street Arts Center By Christina Campodonico For those who prefer to take in their contemporary art with a glass of wine or champagne, beer and fine art may not be the most obvious combination. But at the 18th Street Arts Center’s Beer, Art and Music Festival — BAM Fest for short — patrons are invited to indulge in their taste for arts and crafts. Taking over 18th Street Arts Center on Saturday, BAM Fest boasts more than 100 craft beers from 39 breweries and cider companies, including Westside locals Santa Monica Brew Works, El Segundo Brewing Company and Manchester Boulevard-based Three Weavers Brewing Co. BAM is the brainchild of cultural event producer Nicole Gordillo Schimpf, who started the festival while on staff at the 18th Street Arts Center as an innovative and engaging way to benefit the non-profit organization. For her, beer and art is the “perfect pair” to support the center. “To me, the skill is a mixture of art and science; alchemy at its best,” Schimpf says, likening the making of craft beer to the creation of art. “The process is both surprisingly complex and beautifully simple.” For BAM Fest she also throws music into the mix, including performances by folk/soul singer Nick Shattuck, indie-folk quartet Heaps n’ Heaps and Irish/Americana band Whiskey Sunday. Whether hosting local brewers, or supporting local artists, creativity is at the core of the 18th Street Arts Center’s history and mission. The center was co-founded in 1988 by Susanna Bixby Dakin and Linda Frye Burnham to serve the needs of Los Angeles-based artists. Its Santa Monica location is probably best known as the birthplace of artist Judy Chicago’s famed feminist installation “The Dinner Party” (1979), created before 18th Street Arts Center occupied the site. More recent alumni to pass through 18th Street include UK-born artist Phil Collins, who was shortlisted for the prestigious Turner Prize in 2006. Coming off a 25th anniversary year, the 18th Street Arts Center continues to support the creation of cutting-edge, contemporary artwork through residencies, which provide artists with the time, space and financial support to complete an existing project or generate new work before it goes on to theaters or museums. Residencies vary in length from a few months to even a few years and are supported by external grants and stipends BAM Fest Brewery List: 101 Cider House, Anchor Brewing, Angry Orchard, Ballast Point, Bell’s Brewery Inc., Boomtown Brew, Bravery Brewing, Deschutes Brewery,

the galleries. The drawings and paintings show the artists’ impressions of iconic California landmarks such as Yosemite National Park and Hearst Castle. “It’s wonderful to see artists that are so immediately inspired and productive. They’re inspired by our local environment … they’ve just created a ton of work while they’re here in a very short period of time,” says Williamson of the project. 18th Street’s ability to inspire work quickly as well as over time is another defining characteristic of the center. “I was a visitor before I was a resident, for a long time,” says L.A. artist Cheryl Walker, who visited the center off and on for 20 years before becoming a long-term, local artist-in-residence three years ago. At BAM, patrons will have the opportunity to engage with Walkers’ “WINDOW imPRESSiONS” project, an interactive stained glass window installation made of layered and transparent colored cutouts. Even when not working in her day studio at the center, 18th Street has played a sustained role in Walker’s artistic life. About eight years ago, Walker started attending “Continuum” movement-meditation classes instructed by Emilie Conrad. A movement specialist, she taught at the center before her passing in 2014 and was A close-up of L.A. artist Cheryl Walker’s colorful stained-glass a cherished teacher to Walker. installation at 18th Street Arts Center When Conrad saw Walkers’ colorful cutouts on the artist’s studio window, she suggested that Walker apply the idea to that range from a few thousand dollars to environment, 24/7.

Obituaries

Wilma “Wili” Mae Pierce

Wilma “Wili” Mae Pierce passed away on July 31st, 2015, with her family beside her. Our prayers were answered for a peaceful passing after battling difficult health issues for many years, with grace and courage. Wili was born on September 14th, 1931 in Los Angeles to John and Ella Doyle. She graduated from Dorsey High School in 1950, the same year she met her husband Don of 64 years. In 1961, they settled in Westchester with their two daughters, where Wili worked at the Baptist Church of Westchester. She later joined the staff at the

Westchester YMCA. For many years she participated in volunteer groups and organizations in the community. In 1981 she worked in the family business, K’s Flowers in Westchester, where she retired in 1992. Wili’s passions were many; a love for sports, music, art and history. She was a gifted painter and singer, and had a lifelong love for horses and riding. Everyone knew Wili had the biggest heart, and was simply the kindest, caring, selfless woman. She will be missed by her loving family, Husband Don Pierce, daughters Kathi Eastman and Lynda Estes, grand-daughters Stacey Cooper and Dani Estes, sister Carole Peel and son in law David Eastman.
