Mar Vista rallies against proposed pot clinic Photo by Roy Persinko

By Gary Walker More than 200 people gathered Tuesday in an attempt to keep a medical marijuana dispensary from opening in Mar Vista, but it remains unclear what — if anything — residents and city officials can do to stop it. The proposed dispensary, 33 King, seeks to open later this year in a vacant commercial building at 3472 S. Centinela Ave. Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin answered public outcry that erupted during the special meeting of the Mar Vista Community Council with a pledge to fight. “The message is pretty loud and clear: The city of Los Angeles, [my] council office and this community are opposed to this dispensary,” Bonin told the overflow crowd at the Mar Vista recreation center. As for Justin Keirn, the businessman seeking city permits to open 33 King, “Mar Vista is coming after him,” Bonin said. Keirn declined to comment for this story. Deputy Los Angeles City Attorney Terri Kauffman Macias said the agency is investigating Keirn’s proposal — but apparently not under the authority of Proposition D, an initiative approved by L.A. voters earlier this year that put a cap on the number of dispensaries allowed to operate in the city. Proposition D bans dispensaries other than the 135 that were already legally operating when the law was passed, but it does not allow officials to take action against dispensaries until they open, she said.

FULL HOUSE: Councilman Mike Bonin told the audience at the Mar Vista Recreation Center that he is strongly opposed to a medical marijuana dispensary opening near the corner of Centinela Avenue and Palms Boulevard.

“I was rather surprised to learn that the proposition would allow someone to actually open [a pot clinic], and then I have to bring some staunch opposition” to try to have it closed,” said Michael Henderson, a Mar Vista homeowner who lives near the proposed dispensary site. Despite the apparent catch in the law, “We’re going to have a muscular approach to medical marijuana and making sure

that all medical marijuana businesses that are operating in the city are operating in accordance with the law, here in Mar Vista or anywhere else,” Kauffman Macias said. Bonin and Mar Vista Community Council members said they believed 33 King would violate Proposition D restrictions on where pot clinics can be located. “The city attorney’s office should not

allow this business to open,” said Steve Wallace, a member of the Mar Vista Community Council’s Land Use and Planning Committee. “There are rules and regulations within Prop D which many Mar Vistans supported, but this does not conform.” In an Oct. 8 letter to Keirn, Bonin wrote that he voted for Proposition D and continued to “support compassionate care (Continued on page 4)

Conflict simmers over traffic woes at Stoner Avenue Elementary

By Gary Walker Tensions are flaring over what Del Rey residents are calling an invasion of their neighborhood by a charter school sharing the campus of Stoner Avenue Elementary School. Angry residents who live on Lindblade and Stoner avenues claim mornings and early afternoons near their homes are flooded with the cars of parents retrieving their students from Citizens of the World, a charter school that opened

in late August. “They take up so much of our streets that it doesn’t look like a residential neighborhood,” said José Benitez, who lives on Lindblade. At the heart of the conflict is a school entrance on Lindblade that parents from the charter use to drop off and retrieve their children each day. Benitez and his neighbors claim the entrance is the root cause of rampant double parking and traffic congestion.

and the legal use of marijuana for medicinal purposes” — but not at this particular spot. “Although the property located at 3472 S. Centinela is zoned for commercial use, it is surrounded by single-family and multi-family residential zoning. Opening a dispensary there would clearly violate Proposition D and would be a slap in the face to residents who voted in good faith to support the ballot measure.” Mar Vista resident John Marshall Jones agreed, saying increased traffic, a lack of sidewalks and customers under the influence of marijuana may combine to create a public safety hazard. “I’m not against weed, but I am against stupid,” he said. “There’s not enough space in there for parking for a retail business. So those people who go to this place will be walking in the streets are on our properties.” Saul Rubin, the lone Mar Vista resident to not speak out against the proposed dispensary during Tuesday’s meeting, said opponents are distorting safety risks much the same way the 1936 propaganda film “Refer Madness” linked pot use to violence. “Linking medical marijuana to murders and high crimes? I understand that people are worried, but I just wanted to come tonight to have a reasonable discussion,” Rubin said. Bonin said he would rather prevent 33 King from opening than see it open only to become a test case for challenging

Proposition D. But if the dispensary does open, “it’s going to be a legal battle royal,” Bonin said. § Gary@ArgonautNews.com

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

Joint Fluid therapy relieves pain, restores function and improves mobility without the need for surgery.

But Los Angeles Unified School District officials say Citizens of the World hasn’t broken any rules. “As discussed with the neighbors, LAUSD is complying with the law and remains open to hearing any further concerns to support what is best for students,” said a district spokeswoman. Citizens of the World, which has schools in New York and Los Angeles, describes itself as being committed to “socio- economic, cultural and racial diversity.” Citizens of the World Principal Allison Kerr told the Argonaut Monday that LAUSD had resolved the situation with the Lindblade entrance. Kerr offered to elaborate later, but subsequent calls to Kerr were not returned. At a campus meeting on Oct. 9 that included parents from both schools and LAUSD representatives, residents and Stoner parents asked the district to close the Lindblade entrance and ask the charter school to use the entrance on Braddock Drive. The Braddock entrance is currently used by Stoner Elementary. “I support great schools of all types. And a great school must be a great neighbor,” said Del Rey Neighborhood Council President Eric DeSobe. “It’s imperative that both school communities work together to solve neighbors’ concerns about traffic impact during arrival and dismissal and that LAUSD explore all feasible options to remove extra traffic from streets,” DeSobe said. According to the state Department of Education, parking and traffic is a municipal matter. “Because the [charter school] parents are parking on the street, this is a city issue,” said a department spokeswoman. The circumstances at Stoner are reminiscent of a similar situation at Walgrove Avenue Elementary School in Mar Vista several years ago. After Ocean Charter School opened inside Walgrove, Walgrove parents and nearby homeowners frequently complained of double parking and charter parents failing to observe traffic laws and congestion. Benitez wrote to LAUSD Board Member Steve Zimmer, who represents Del Rey, on Aug. 9 to express his and his neighbors concerns about the charter. “Citizens of the World Charter… has taken it upon themselves to create their own school entrance on the backside of Stoner Elementary without authorization,” Benitez wrote. In an Aug. 11 response, Zimmer said he shared Benitez’s concerns. “I will ask the charter office and the school to meet with stakeholders to mitigate the concerns. Please be aware that the school board has very little control over charter school co-locations,” Zimmer wrote. “We almost always end

up in court.” The California Charter Association has successfully sued LAUSD in the past over charter school facility issues. Proposition 39, a state ballot measure approved by voters in 2000, provides charter operators with the opportunity to obtain space on traditional school campuses where classrooms are underutilized or vacant. School districts tender offers to charters at schools where these classrooms exist and charters then determine to accept or deny them. Zimmer’s response led Benitez to think that his chance of LAUSD intervening was very small. “I think LAUSD is more afraid of charters than of the neighbors,” Benitez said. Zimmer indicated that he had prior experience with Citizens of the World, which has two other charters in Hollywood and Silverlake, communities that are also in his district. “I have been in conflict with this particular charter for well over a year, but it is in their enlightened self interest to have positive relationships with their community,” Zimmer wrote. Kerr said Citizens of the World has distributed what she called “karma tickets” to Stoner parents and residents of the surrounding neighborhood to place on the vehicles of those charter parents who cause traffic jams. Benitez scoffed at the idea. “Karma tickets? That was an insult,” he said. According to Benitez, the solution to the problem is Citizens of the World using the Braddock entrance. “As simple as it sounds, that would solve everything,” he said. § Gary@ArgonautNews.com

Ballona Wetlands restoration plan for ecological reserve pushed back again until 2014 being analyzed and the very careful and detailed analysis that the team is conducting for each potential design,” she said. “We are all eager to see some form of restoration and public access at Ballona.” Traveso said large scale and multifaceted initiatives often face interruptions and postponements. “The delay is not at all uncommon for such a complicated project,” she noted. Lamb speculated that the state agencies in charge might take unnecessary chances in an effort to start building the wetlands center, which was slated to start construction by the end of next year. “We don’t believe that there is any possibility that the Department of Fish and Wildlife can meet Annenberg’s timeline of December 2014 to begin construction, which is referenced several times in the memorandum of understanding,” he said. “We are concerned that Fish and Wildlife will rush and cut corners to try to meet that deadline because so much money is riding on it.” The wetlands group also thinks the public process provided for in the landmark California Environmental Quality Act will be circumvented by the state agency because of the delay. “We’ve formally requested that [the state] renegotiate the [memorandum of understanding] with Annenberg,” Lamb said. “We are also asking for the public scoping period to be reopened, for monthly public meetings and a reasonable process to get permits for controlled access for things like bird watching and nature photography.” Under CEQA, the 1970 environmental statute, a public comment period must be opened for a specific amount of time so anyone who wishes to speak on a project that is undergoing an environmental review may do so in a public setting. Luce said one of the most critical components of the entire initiative is the environmental review. “The CEQA document is really important. It must be done well and thoroughly, and I’m very proud of the work our team is doing, so I am having to be patient as well,” Luce said. The Ballona Land Trust filed a lawsuit against the state on Sept. 11 alleging that Fish and Wildlife failed to provide critical information to them regarding the Annenberg project. Luce said her organization would not stop their work in the wetlands, despite the continued postponement. “We are in the fifth year of the longterm comprehensive scientific monitoring program at Ballona, with a focus on tracking the extent and spread of invasive plant species and assessing the health of the different habitat types,” Luce said. A spokeswoman for the Annenberg Foundation could not be reached for comment.§ Gary@ArgonautNews.com

By Gary Walker Facing yet another postponement of the long-planned restoration of the Ballona Wetlands, local environmentalists are shaking their heads in frustration over the fifth delay of the state-sponsored restoration effort already stalled for several years. A necessary environmental study needed to break ground on the project “could be released sometime in spring 2014, but that target could be delayed again,” Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Jordan Traveso told the Argonaut. “It is simply taking longer to complete the draft than was originally scheduled.” The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the state Coastal Conservancy are the agencies involved in the restoration effort. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also plays a significant role. “It is unfortunate that the [environmental report] process is taking longer than we expected. It is a massive undertaking that requires and deserves a very thorough analysis,” said Shelly Luce, executive director of the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission. The commission, which has its offices on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Westchester, has done a great deal of the research, testing and gathering of evidence and information on wetlands species and habitat in the Ballona Wetlands. The Annenberg Foundation is planning to build a nature center in what is known as Area C of the Ballona Wetlands that would include an auditorium, classrooms, a public lobby, exhibits on wildlife and domestic animals, facilities for an animal adoption and care program and veterinary facilities for animals. Detractors of the nature center say the state is allowing the influential nonprofit Annenberg to build on a protected wetland because the foundation has pledged a $1-million donation to the restoration effort. To Ballona Land Trust President Walter Lamb, the latest setback is a prime example of what his organization thinks are behind-the-scenes troubles between the foundation and the state agencies. “To us, it isn’t a good reflection on how the actual project itself would be managed. There has been a lot of tension between Annenberg, Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission and the Department of Fish and Wildlife that we’ve seen in the e-mails that went back and forth,” he said. “Our best guess is that these groups still aren’t working well together and that that is causing delays.” Luce said the postponement of the environmental analysis highlights how complicated the magnitude of the rehabilitation process for the wetlands can be. “The delay is indicative of the broad array of potential restoration designs

Initiative shows students the deadly consequences of distracted driving Photos by Eric Lawton

A striking reminder: Venice High School Students examine a car that was in an accident with an impaired and distracted teen driver.

By Gary Walker Students at Venice High School received a graphic visual lesson last Thursday on how the irresponsible actions of one driver can impact others around them. In One Instant, a teenage safe driving initiative that aims raise awareness about distracted and impaired driving, presented a short film in the school’s auditorium depicting the perils of dangerous driving by teens. It showed how one teen driving after an afternoon of drinking with two of his classmates resulted in disaster when the teen driver struck a car coming out of his school’s parking lot, killing his friend in the back seat and leaving the front seat passenger paralyzed. A popular teacher and a football star on his way to college were also killed. Cheryl Wada, who founded the program with Gail Schenbaum Lawton four years ago, has taken her teen safety initiative to several schools in the area, including to Santa Monica High School last year. “We create a highly dramatic and emotional event of what can happen ‘in one instant,’” Wada (Continued on next page)

A SOMBER MOMENT: Venice High Students took part in a mock funeral as part of In One Instant’s campaign to reduce teen deaths due to distracted driving.

“It showed me that I have to be more aware of who I’m driving with. Seeing the outcome of the film showed me how quickly life can turn.” — Michael Verdin, senior, Venice High School said. “But we end on an uplifting note that tells teens that life is worth living and encourage them to make the right choices.” Students from Venice High were selected from the school magnet program to act as pallbearers at a mock funeral after the film was shown. They read letters to their loved ones that were written as if they had been one of the victims who died in the car crash. The students drafted the letters in a workshop the previous day. Lauren Foster, a 17-year old senior, participated in the mock funeral. She called writing the letter to her parents “a difficult process” because she had to access emotions that were unfamiliar and unpleasant. Another senior, Michael Verdin, 17, also found it hard to get the right feelings on paper. “It was enlightening to hear what I would say to my mom [if I had been killed in a car crash],” said Verdin. Venice High School Parent-TeachersStudents Association President Linda Soleib was in a similar workshop for parents and found the experience unnerving. “We were forced to look at something that we don’t want to think about,” said Solieb, whose has a daughter in ninth grade at the high school. Soleib, who acknowledged that she

has driven while talking on her cell phone, said she had now sworn off such behavior. “I’m never going to touch my phone again while I’m driving,” she pledged. Verdin and Foster said they plan to sign a “Vow to Live” pledge found on In One Instant’s website, streetwisemedia.org. Derrick Campbell, the Title I coordinator at Venice High, said electronic devices and their use have been a frequent topic of discussion among the faculty, administration and students. Wada and Schenbaum Lawton created In One Instant after learning of several fatal accidents involving students at Pacific Palisades High School several years ago. Wada said two of her children knew students who had been involved in fatalities where a teenaged driver was behind the wheel and impaired or distracted by something. “I remember when we lost four young lives and I decided I couldn’t stand by any longer,” Wada said. The film appeared to have an effect on the Venice High students. “It showed me that I have to be more aware of who I’m driving with,” Verdin said. “Seeing the outcome of the film showed me how quickly life can turn.” “I think the [participants] are different people now,” Campbell said.§ Gary@ArgonautNews.com October 17, 2013 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 11

Keeping the torch Venice Japanese Community Center’s Young Adults Club works to preserve cultural identity among a generation

Young Adults Club officers, left to right: Treasurer Jolyene Hirota, Secretary Tiffany Sato, Secretary Valerie Harada, President Jennifer Yamamoto and Vice President Jon Okada.

The Venice Japanese Community Center’s Summer Festival in June included a donut-eating contest.

By Michael Aushenker With an aging membership, the Venice Japanese Community Center faced an uncertain future last year as it struggled to keep young Japanese-Americans on the Westside interested in centuries of cultural heritage. Enter Jennifer Yamamoto, president and co-founder of the center’s Young Adults Club, devoted to engaging Westside

Japanese-Americans in their 20s and 30s. At just 15 members, the nascent Young Adults Club is feeling its way one event and one member at a time. “When you’re third or fourth generation, it’s hard to keep tradition,” said Yamamoto, 33, a Westside native. “I’m second generation, so my mom drilled it into me. “

Hiro Harada, president of the Venice Japanese Community Center, said reaching young people is essential to the survival of his organization. “We have to be thinking of the future, always about the participation of your youth,” Harada said. “We have a program for kids, but once they pass high school we have a problem again.” Surrounded by images

of monsters, robots, anime characters and other Japanese popular culture iconography adorning the walls and tables of The Humble Potato restaurant in Westchester, Yamamoto and Young Adult Club Vice President Jon Okada spoke enthusiastically about some of the club’s past activities — among them a wellattended sake tasting in March and class on how to wear a summer kimono. “If you wear it the wrong way, that means you’re dead!” Yamamoto, laughing, said as she explained how one wears the garment, a Yukata, can symbolically mean the difference between life and death.

It’s also a fitting metaphor for the Venice Japanese Community Center. Okada, a fourth-generation Japanese-American who lives in Westchester, said he wasn’t aware of the Young Adult Club until August 2012, when he heard about it through a friend. “I think there’s a real need for the club,” said Okada, 26, adding that he joined to make his connection to his heritage feel less distant. “There isn’t that innate sense of community.” Founded in 1921 to assist the local Japanese farming community at a time when Los Angeles was booming with Japanese immigrants, the center (Continued on page 20)

‘Glory’ days Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Jacaranda classical music series kicks off a new season on Saturday in Santa Monica By Michael Aushenker Jacaranda Music, the brainchild of artistic director Patrick Scott and music director Mark Alan Hilt, takes pride in showcasing rarely heard classical music. Keeping Santa Monica classy, the music company kicks off a new season on Saturday with a concert program that will mark the 10th anniversary season of Jacaranda at its regular venue, First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica. The season opener will feature an international mix delivered by the Lyris Quartet,

who will be joined by four pianists and five percussionists performing compositions by Adams, Rouse, Rzewski and Bergamo. “It’s going to be really exciting,” Hilt, the man holding the baton, said of the season ahead. The conductor deemed this concert “American music that relates to each other in an interesting way. It’s a real variety of texture and something most people have not heard of before.” Launched Oct. 4, 2003, at Santa Monica High School’s Barnum Hall, Jacaranda produces eight concerts a season.

A Barak Ballet performance of a pas de deux

Barak Ballet founder Melissa Barak.

The company she keeps Choreographer and ballerina Melissa Barak prepares her dancers for the Broad Stage on Oct. 24 By Michael Aushenker As a little girl growing up in West Hollywood in the 1980s and ‘90s, Melissa Barak used to take ballet lessons at the Westside School of Ballet in Santa Monica. In some ways, not much has changed. She still lives in West Hollywood and practices hours of ballet at Westside School of Ballet. Only these days, the stakes are higher: Barak now runs her own ballet company, which will perform at The Broad Stage on Thursday, Oct. 24. “This is our second show. … We’re a newborn,” Barak told the Argonaut after a solid day of rehearsing in Santa Monica for the upcoming performance of “L.A. Moves.” After getting her high school education at Crossroads in Santa Monica, Barak never matriculated into college. She moved to New York and joined the New York City Ballet, where she spent eight years touring the world — Russia, Japan, Greece, Italy, Scotland, Denmark — working with master choreographers such as Christopher Wheeldon and Eliot Feld on production after production (“Serenade,” “Union Jack,” “Stars and Stripes”) and interpreting George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. “Those first years were definitely a challenge,” Barak recalled of her days with the Lincoln Center dance troupe. “Being a big fish in a small pond, in one of the foremost companies in the

world. So much talent, the competition’s fierce. The amount of work, you perform every night, you’re learning new ballets constantly, it’s an all day all night job, six days out of the week. To learn how to keep your body strong and stay strong mentally, physically. Once I got the hang of it, I got the experience of being it.” The pace became relentless, rehearsing, touring, performing winter seasons at 14 weeks at a time, spring seasons nine weeks at a clip, with nary a break, she said. After living in apartments on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and West Harlem, and in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg section — “before it became super-duper hipster,” she said — Barak finally found her way back West, joining Los Angeles Ballet from 2007 to 2011. All the while, something nagged at her: “I kind of always knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to create a company on my own,” she said. Now, “It’s like a full-time job,” Barak said of running her own company. “There’s a lot of work to get done; a lot of money to raise, taking care of odds and ends while you’re raising money, designing brochures and programs, [cutting] checks for the dancers.” Barak feels fortunate to be back at Westside School, utilizing its chambers for rehearsal space. “I’m very lucky to have such a beautiful

studio and stage,” she said of the Santa Monica institution, which opened in 1967. “I am very lucky to find this home while I’m building this company.” Barak’s company debuted with a showcase at the Ann and Jerry Moss Theatre at New Roads School in Santa Monica, where she staged four pieces – three duets and a choreographed ensemble featuring four dancers. At the Broad Stage, she will mount two ensemble pieces (one piece with eight dancers and one with six performers), a solo piece and a duet. Kelly Ann Sloan, a member of Barak’s company, said Barak’s guidance is

propelling her toward doing some of her best work. “She’s a very musical choreographer,” Sloan said of Barak. “Her movement really speaks to the music. What she comes up with really goes hand in hand with the music. It just feels natural with the body.”§ Michael@ArgonautNews.com

corralling comic energy Tenacious D’s Jack Black and Kyle Glass round up an A-list roster for Saturday’s Festival Supreme in Santa Monica

Adam Sandler

Sarah Silverman

Zach Galifianakis

By Michael Aushenker In the world of comedy orange may be the new black, but black hasn’t gone out of style either. Jack Black, that is. Consider the high-power talent that Black and co-conspirator Kyle Glass, who together form the comic rock band Tenacious D, have assembled for Festival Supreme — a 10-hour Coachella of comedy taking place Saturday on the Santa Monica Pier. The roster of performers scheduled to appear at Festival Supreme reads like a month’s worth of programming on Comedy Central. Headlining the event is no less than the Waterboy himself, Adam Sandler, sardonic comedienne Sarah Silverman and bearded wiseacre Zach Galifianakis, best known for the three “Hangover” movies and the HBO cult favorite “Bored to Death.” In addition to Sandler, Silverman and Galifianakis, comedy ensembles The Mighty Boosh and Mr. Show — the latter featuring Bob Odenkirk of

“Breaking Bad” and David Cross of “Arrested Development” — will reunite, and rounding out the bill are Patton Oswald, Neil Hamburger, Will Forte, Tim & Eric of “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” and Month Python’s Eric Idle. Musical acts in addition to the D include Garfunkel & Oates and Craig Robinson of “The Office” with his band The Nasty Delicious. Even late night’s favorite foulmouthed puppet, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, is making an appearance — opening for Sandler, of course. If you can’t find a laugh at Festival Supreme, consult your doctor for a funny bone transplant … stat! Festival Supreme kicks off at 2 p.m. on the Santa Monica Pier. Tickets are $99 to $154.

‘Glory’ days... (Continued from page 12)

Early on, the company jumped around Santa Monica — from the Miles Playhouse to Santa Monica Bay Women’s Club to Annenberg Beach House — before settling in at its First Presbyterian digs. Scott and Hilt, a couple of 19 years, have spent the past decade building up the Westside’s classical music cred, one program of rare compositions at a time. In charge of setting the musical agenda, from conjuring

Christopher Rouse’s “Ku KaIlimoku” and “Ogoun Badagris,” and John Bergamo’s “Piru Bole.” Hilt will conduct both Rouse pieces. Billed “Grit and Glory,” the show is just the beginning for this scrappy classical music troupe’s new season. In November, the program “Shattered Glass” will solemnly honor the 75th anniversary of the infamous Kristallnacht of Nov. 9, 1938, in Nazi Germany. In January, “Hallucination” will welcome European vocal ensemble Voxnova, making their U.S. debut under the direction of bass baritone Nicholas Isherwood. The work of musician John Cage will be showcased in February’s “MidCentury Modern.” First Presbyterian “is a very intimate room, surprisingly intimate given its size,” Hilt said. “It’s just a wonderful hall for music. The sound just booms in there. It has a presence and a life.”§ Michael@ArgonautNews.com

Franco-ly speaking… Actor, director, painter and novelist James Franco expands his resume on Sunday at the Aero By Michael Aushenker James Franco is certainly trending on Hollywood’s collective search engine. The prolific young actor is frequently depicted as Tinseltown’s Renaissance man, earning him a reputation that saw slacker comedy buds Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Aziz Ansari poking fun last month during a Comedy Central roast that there isn’t much Franco won’t do. The Academy Awardnominated actor (for Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours”) has not only starred in six movies out or due out this year alone, he’s also produced and directed a film of his own, played a role on “General Hospital,” spent time in college as a student and an instructor, written novels and short stories and poems, displayed paintings at museums in New York and L.A., raised funds for numerous charities and is slated to host “James Franco Presents,” a TV show chronicling his adventures in the

art world. Add keynote speaker to the list. In a Live Talks L.A. speaker series gig billed “An Evening with James Franco,” Franco will discuss his latest novel, “Actors Anonymous,” and how the heck he does it all on Sunday evening at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. So far, 35-year-old Franco’s been having a good year. “Oz the Great and Powerful,” in which he starred as the titular wizard, grossed nearly half a billion dollars worldwide. He made waves as a rap-obsessed gangster in the controversial film “Spring Breakers,” starred as an exaggerated version of himself in the sleeper hit “This is the End” and is slated to make his Broadway debut in a revival of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.”

James Franco

As if all of this is not enough, there’s likely more Francomania to come. As The Argonaut’s editorial intern swooned recently, the best thing about James Franco may be his younger brother, rising star David Franco. This is certainly not the end.§ Michael@ArgonautNews.com

The Unusual Suspect Santa Monica filmmaker Ken Kokin talks "Whitey" Bulger and Keyser Söze on Saturday at Leo Carrillo State Park By Michael Aushenker When F.B.I. most wanted list criminal James “Whitey” Bulger was arrested two years ago at his Santa Monica apartment on Fourth Street after eluding law enforcement for 16 years, Ken Kokin could not believe his eyes and ears. The filmmaker had been working on biopic of the notorious mobster. Little did he know that the fugitive, convicted of scores of murders, lived only four blocks away from his Ocean Avenue home. It’s an interesting coincidence, considering Kokin was one of the producers of the 1995 crime caper “The Usual Suspects,” in which elusive criminal

Ken Kokin keeps a lookout for good Hollywood material from a perch at the recently opened Tongva Park.

‘Like a chameleon’

The festivities to celebrate Leo Carrillo State Park’s six decades kick off at 7 p.m. Friday, with a screening of 1959’s “Gidget,” while the real-life Malibu resident who inspired the Sally Field character, Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, will appear on Saturday to sign copies of her memoir. At 2 p.m. Saturday, Medved, co-author of “Location Filming in Los Angeles,” will conduct a conversation with Kokin. There will also be tours of Leo Carrillo, including the sea cave inside which, at 3:30 p.m. during low tide, Medved will screen a montage of clips from films

mastermind “Keyser Söze” hides in plain sight. Kokin will discuss his entertainment career on Saturday in the sea cave at Leo Carrillo State Park in Malibu, where a key scene from “The Usual Suspects” was shot, during a celebration of the park’s 60th anniversary. The park has long been a hotbed for film shoots: “Gidget,” “Beach Blanket Bingo,” “Crossroads,” “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” “Grease,” “That Thing You Do” and “The Karate Kid” all filmed scenes there. During Saturday’s event, scenes from several of the films shot at Leo Carrillo will be screened inside the park’s worldfamous cavern. “The sea cave at Leo Carrillo State Park is the perfect setting for romance, suspense and horror, and that’s why it’s the ideal location for a natural movie theater,” said film scholar and author Harry Medved. ”It will be great fun seeing clips from ‘The Usual Suspects’ inside the very cave it was shot.” Kokin said the cave was perfect for a night scene in “The Usual Suspects” in which underworld figures, played by Kevin Spacey, Kevin Pollak, Gabriel Byrne and Stephen Baldwin dig a grave for the corpse of Benicio Del Toro’s character. “It made all the difference,” Kokin said. A generic beachhead “would’ve been a cheesy choice.”

(“Inception,” “The Karate Kid,” “Point Break”) that utilized the cave. “Carrillo features the most famous beach rocks in the world, thanks to their appearances in hundreds of movies, TV shows and ads shot there,” Medved said. The park is “almost like a chameleon,” said Kathi Northrop, event chair and vicepresident of Santa Monica Mountains Natural History Association “It has big rocks and cliffs. It has coves. It has the open ocean. It has the cave.” “I’ve seen it become Hawaii. I’ve seen it become Cape Cod,” Northrup continued. “It just morphs into what you need it to be.” At 7 p.m. Saturday, “The Beach Girls and the Monster” and “Attack of the Crab Monsters” will screen. Actor Arnold Lessing, who acted in the former as well as “The Girls on the Beach,” also shot in 1965 at Leo Carrillo, will talk about “Beach Girls.” Lessing, who also played Lieutenant Carlisle in “The Changeling” episode of the original “Star Trek” series, recently retired from teaching guitar at Santa Monica College. The accomplished flamenco guitarist penned songs for the soundtrack of “Beach Girls,” including “More Than Wanting You.” The event will also include ‘50s surf bands, a surfing invitational, food trucks, local vendors, a climbing wall and arts and crafts for kids and free wine tastings, courtesy of Malibu’s Rosenthal Vineyards, for the adults.

Dear Neighbors: You are invited to attend LMU’s quarterly Neighborhood Advisory Committee meeting.

This meeting is open to the public. No RSVP required. Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Time: 6:30-8:30 p.m. Location: Westchester Senior Center 8740 Lincoln Blvd. Kokin speaks Saturday at Leo Carrillo State Park in Malibu.

‘In your … backyard”

Kokin grew up in Mar Vista and attended Mar Vista Elementary School and recalled watching filmmaker Blake Edwards shoot the 1986 movie “Blind Date” in the neighborhood. Cut to 2011, and as the Bulger arrest unfolded, Kokin was noodling away at a movie based on “Rat Bastards: The Life and Times of South Boston’s Most Honorable Irish Mobster,” a biography of Bulger, with its author, John “Red” Shea, a former underworld figure who had worked for Bulger. Kokin learned of Bulger’s undoing on a phone call with Shea. Kokin recalled asking his collaborator where Bulger was captured and Shea, in his thick

Bostonian brogue, snapping: “Where was he? He was in your [expletive] backyard, you nitwit!” Kokin wonders if he might’ve passed by Bulger on Ocean Avenue. “If I would’ve heard that Southie talk, I would’ve recognized him,” Kokin insisted. “I would’ve either been $2 million richer, or I’d be dead.” The Santa Monica Mountains Natural History Association and California State Parks ‘ 60th Birthday Bash for Leo Carrillo State Park takes place Saturday and Sunday at 35000 W.

Japanese Community Center, Pasadena Japanese Cultural Institute and the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo — Venice Japanese Community Center and the Venice Hongwanji Buddhist Temple are the only on the Westside. That’s notwithstanding the ethnic explosion along Sawtelle and Olympic boulevards in what is now referred to as the Little Osaka district; a swath of blocks dense with younger, hipper Japanese retailers, restaurants and art galleries that has swelled in the past decade in a section of town where Japanese-American history dates back to the late 19th century. But these shiny, newer establishments are more popculture oriented and are not steeped in the underlying Japanese traditions that might be more accessible in Little Tokyo. Young Adults Club President Jennifer Yamamoto and Vice President Terry Keelan, who oversees the Jon Okada at The Humble Potato, a Westside business that has Venice Japanese Community supported club activities. Center’s Summer Festival (Natsu Matsuri), said it plays a crucial role. “As a community ages, you get (Continued from page 12) more mixed Asian families, and has long been enmeshed with camps of World War II. the focus seems to change more the Westside Japanese-American While Los Angeles currently toward martial arts and away community.

Keeping the torch...

Equipped with a large community room, a newly constructed recreation room and a gym, the center currently hosts more than 30 clubs and courses in Japanese creative activities that are open to the public. These include bonsai, ikebana (flower arrangement), shodo (calligraphy), watercolor, sumi-e (Japanese ink painting) and soroban (abacus) courses. The center also offers Japanese language courses, hula dance and ukulele lessons, iaido (Japanese sword), martial arts

a cultural reentry for people in their 20s and 30s who were once active in center youth activities but lost touch during college. “They go off to college and then they kind of disappear. And then the families disappear [from the club],” added Randy Tamura, a center board member. For Yamamoto, a graphic designer who now lives with her husband in the San Gabriel Valley, it’s her role in the club that keeps her connected with her Japanese and Westside heritage.

Bar Pintxo

Good grub!

109 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica (310) 458-2012 barpintxo.com I can only imagine how many mispronunciations the people at Bar Pintxo must have endured. I have heard “Pintesho” and “Pinto” from people who assumed the X was either silent or pronounced in its entirety, both of which would grate on the ears of a Basque native. Pintxo, a Spanish-style appetizer on grilled bread that originated in the Basque region of northern Spain, is correctly pronounced something like “pin-cho.” Diction aside, the food here isn’t particularly Basque — it’s a pan-Spanish array of tapas, served in a cozy setting. A sushistyle bar seats about 10 people by the entrance, and a small dining room in the back is lined with shelves of wine and Spanish products. I visited the restaurant with the owner of a cooking

school, so we sat at the bar to watch the action in the kitchen. We started with empanadas and, in honor of the restaurant’s name, a pintxo of marinated sardines and anchovies. The pintxo — Italian bruschetta by another name — was delicious, a smoky grilled bread layered with chopped bell pepper, onion and tomato with fish filets on top. If you have only had anchovies on pizza and sardines from cans, you might not recognize these: the fish was marinated in vinegar and had a delightful richness and tang. As for the empanadas, the expertly made pastry was stuffed with braised lamb shoulder, tender and rich. It was a perfect sequence of flavors, light and tart followed by rich, and the wines we ordered had to be versatile.

Our first glasses were an effervescent Txakolina (Chacko-lina) and a pleasant off-dry Rias Baixas. The wine list here is almost exclusively Spanish and has some excellent selections. We continued with a daily special flatbread called coca, made that day with duck salami, mahon cheese, green beans and caramelized onions with a sherry-garlic glaze. This was the least successful item, not because

the flavors weren’t good together — they were — but because the chewy salami was in large pieces that made it difficult to eat without sending the toppings onto your lap. Had the meat been cut smaller and the cheese spread more widely instead of being a lump in the middle, this would have been a winner. We finished our wines while watching the staff work behind the counter. They answered questions despite a hefty workload, and my companion praised their smooth teamwork in tight quarters. Our next item was lamb meatballs stuffed with pickled grapes over a mix of sautéed kale and toasted pumpkin seeds. This dish was spectacular. The sweet-tart grapes inside the rich meatballs laced with green herbs

were startling, even though we knew they were in there, and an unlikely but excellent contrast with the kale. The final savory dish was beef cheek braised in wine with hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, parsley and shards of purple onion. Beef cheek is a low-fat meat that is inedible if cooked quickly but has a soft, almost creamy texture if slow-braised. Ours was fork-tender and rich. The texture almost matched the mushrooms, which had a clean, delicately musky flavor that enhanced the beef. The beef cheek at Pintxo is paired with various vegetables depending on what is available, but I find it hard to imagine a pairing that would top this one. Our server, Irena, had been spot-on with her recommendations, so we asked her for wines to match the red meat courses. She hit the jackpot with Biga Tempranillo and a blend from Mallorca called Anima Negra. We finished with Spanishstyle churros, which are denser than the Mexican variety and without the distinctive fluting that makes them crisp. They’re different and delicious, served hot from the fryer with a cup of thick hot chocolate for dipping. Our bill totaled $115 with four glasses of wine — very fair for an excellent meal with good service near the beach in Santa Monica. I’ll be back for clam and pork belly stew, paella and further exploration of that wine list.§ Bar Pintxo is open from noon to 10 p.m. Sundays through Tuesdays, noon to 11 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from noon to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Q&A

Mar Vista:

Saturday’s Mar Vista Fall Festival to celebrate the arts, honor Rosendahl By Gary Walker Celebrating the Arts is the theme of the 2013 Mar Vista Fall Festival, happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Mar Vista Recreation Center. Former Councilman Bill Rosendahl, a Mar Vista resident who represented the area for eight years, will receive a special commendation for his service to Mar Vista. Current 11th District City Councilman Mike Bonin, who was Rosendahl’s chief of staff, will host a community resource fair. The festival will feature live entertainment by local schools and performing groups, a community art exhibit, giant slides and bouncers, games, a silent auction and food — but especially art. “We have over 250 musicians, dancers, singers, martial artists and theatrical performers,” said Albert Olson,

an event organizer. “Although each year has had its own highlights … this year’s event is the massive influx of community members who have chosen to step up and be an actual participant,” he said. Among art show participants are nearly two dozen Mar Vista residents, said Olson. Lorraine Wells, a longtime Mar Vista businesswoman, will also be honored at the event. The festival is organized by the Mar Vista Community Council and several local partners. “The fall festival is coming into its own as a keystone Mar Vista event,” said Mar Vista Community Council Chair Sharon Commins. “Everyone working on it should be very proud.” The Mar Vista Recreation Center is at 11460 Woodbine Ave. in Mar Vista.§ Gary@ArgonautNews.com

Should we wait until 2014 to get a mortgage?

With interest rates rising steadily, you might be wondering if you should buy a home now, or if you should wait a few months to see if the interest rates go down again. This can be a tricky – not to mention risky – game. After all, interest rate fluctuations have become somewhat of a normal thing. But, while it’s true that anything can happen with mortgage interest rates, there are a few reasons why you should get that mortgage now instead of waiting: 1. The Fed will eventually start to taper QE3. Quantitative easing – or QE3 – is the program where the Federal Reserve is buying billions of dollars in mortgage-backed

competition may be great if you’re a homeowner, it’s not so great if you’re a homebuyer. Not only will homes be more expensive, but more competition means that you’ll have fewer houses to choose from as well. Further, even if you do qualify for a mortgage for the home you want, if an all-cash buyer comes in with a competitive offer, you could find yourself losing the battle. 5. The new Dodd-Frank reform is being instated in January. Mortgage lending became much stricter after the housing market crashed, but the new Dodd-Frank reform will make it even more difficult to qualify. This reform, which dictates that borrowers must meet eight criteria to qualify for a loan, will go into effect in January 2014. So, you may want to get approved before this new reform becomes law. So, while it may be tempting to wait and see if interest rates drop back down to the 3’s, you may be better off jumping on a home purchase sooner rather than later.

securities each month in an attempt to stabilize the economy. But that program could go away at any time, and when it does, interest rates will rise. If you recall, the first time Bernanke hinted at tapering quantitative easing, interest rates shot up by 0.5% in just one day. 2. The economy in general is strengthening. Over the past few months we’ve seen unemployment data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicate that unemployment is the lowest it’s been since the financial collapse of 2008. With more people back to work, more buyers have the means of qualifying for a mortgage and buying a home. An increase in competition also leads to higher home prices, as well as higher interest rates (going back to the point about the Fed above.) 3. Home prices are rising. According to a recent report from CoreLogic, home prices increased by 12.7 percent year over year in August. That means that, as home prices go up, your purchasing power goes down. And if interest rates rise as well, there’s a chance you won’t be able to afford the home you want at all. 4. There may be less inventory to choose from. While higher home prices and increasing

legal advertising CITY CLERK CASE # EIR-13 013-AD LEAD AGENCY: Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) SUBJECT: Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Plan Compliance Review Notice PROJECT TITLE: West Aircraft Maintenance Area Project PROJECT LOCATION: Southwestern portion of the LAX, on approximately 84 acres immediately south of World Way West between Taxiway AA and Pershing Drive PROJECT DESCRIPTION: LAWA has prepared a Draft EIR for the West Aircraft Maintenance Area Project (Proposed Project) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Section 21000 et seq., California Public Resources Code), implementing CEQA Guidelines (Section 15000 et seq. Title 14, California Code of Regulations), and L.A. CEQA Thresholds Guide (2006). The Draft EIR for the proposed project was prepared in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 15084 of the CEQA Guidelines and the public review is in accordance with Section 15087 of the CEQA Guidelines. The Proposed Project would provide facilities and areas for aircraft maintenance and maintenance hangars, as well as parking areas for aircraft and employees in order to consolidate, relocate, and modernize some of the existing aircraft maintenance facilities at LAX consistent with the LAX Master Plan. The Proposed Project would not increase passenger or gate capacity and would not increase flights and/or aircraft operations at LAX. As determined in the Draft EIR, implementation of the Proposed Project is expected to result in a significant and unavoidable impact related to air quality during construction activities. These impacts are shortterm and temporary and would not occur during operation. LAX PLAN COMPLIANCE REVIEW: Prior to issuing any grading, building or use of land permit for the proposed Project, the Los Angeles City Council must grant an LAX Plan Compliance approval pursuant to the LAX Specific Plan. This approval will be based on recommendations from LAWA’s Executive Director and the Board of Airport Commissioners. The Executive Director’s recommendation will be provided in a written report, which will include the results of LAWA’s consultation with the LAX Master Plan Stakeholder Liaison.
