L etters Can Measure W really clean up L.A.’s water? Re: Los Angeles County Measure W Voters should be cautious before accepting the county’s claims that they can clean up the storm water for public use, if we just give them some more money. It is another try to pass “toilet to tap,” by changing the name of a similar proposal turned down, that smart voters rejected several years ago. This is a largely fatuous claim; they don’t even claim to know what is in the water (hundreds of unidentified contaminants) or how to remove dangerous substances like chromium 6. Think of what is in the water! Take a look at the storm water retention pond along Washington Blvd in the Marina. Not even a seagull ventures near it, it is so toxic. The county used to empty the pond flow into Mother’s Beach before they excavated and deepened the site a few years ago. Now they apparently claim that they can reuse it for human habitation, for more than bathing. As the Romans said in the days of

Civic Incivility Angry Venice residents shout down Garcetti and Bonin over homeless housing plan Photo by Mike Dennis
By Gary Walker In this era of discontent, political awakenings and protests, images often convey an event’s deeper message. As the battle in Venice over a 3.1-acre parcel owned by the city of Los Angeles on Main Street grows even more contentious, opponents of the city’s plan to use the site for bridge housing for nearly 1,000 homeless people demonstrated their displeasure at an Oct. 17 town hall meeting by waving signs that read “Stop Dumping on Venice” and “Venice Beach: Where human poop and needles are part of the fun.” Outside the meeting, hosted by Mayor Eric Garcetti and City Councilman Mike Bonin at the Westminster Avenue Elementary School Auditorium, a group of more than 30 bridge housing supporters held a quiet candlelight vigil while nearly 500 people inside — many affiliated with the group Save Venice Beach, which is vehemently opposed to the bridge housing proposal — shouted at and interrupted Garcetti, Bonin and LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore as the three officials
Proponents of bridge housing in Venice held a quiet candlelight vigil outside while a raucous debate raged inside Carol Tantau, who lived in Venice for attempted to explain their reasons for more than two decades and owned Just building short-term housing . Tantau, a jewelry and gift shop on Abbot In some ways, the vigil could have Kinney Boulevard for 32 years, viewed marked the passing of a hallmark of the meeting on social media. Venice’s charmed and illustrious near“I thought it was terrifying,” said Tantau, past: a live and let live credo of civility who four years ago moved her shop to and tolerance.
West Adams Boulevard due to skyrocketing rent increases on Abbot Kinney. “I’m really disturbed by the lack of civility. [Those opposed to the bridge housing site] had a primo lineup in front of them and to not listen to what they had to say is just plain stupid.” Bonin unveiled a draft design of what the housing project might look like. The site, which would have 24-hour security, would house 154 individuals and families, who would be assigned caseworkers, and include restrooms and a kitchen. “Not in Venice! Not in Venice!” chanted opponents of the plan. Loyola Marymount Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychology Deanna Cooke said cultural shifts and socioeconomic upheaval in Venice are factors that drive the divisiveness around the issue of homelessness and often ignorance about who is homeless manifests itself in uncivil behavior. “In neighborhoods that have transitioned from very diverse communities culturally (Continued on page 16)

The Language of Learning LAUSD reports a lack of bilingual teachers for growing number of ESL and dual-language immersion students By Gary Walker Despite thriving dual-language immersion programs in the Los Angeles Unified School District, including two on the Westside, the district has a shortage of bilingual teachers. LAUSD’s 102,486 English as a second language (ESL) students make up about 20.5% of all students. Many ESL students are enrolled in dual-language immersion programs like those at Broadway Elementary School in Venice and Grand View Avenue Elementary School in Mar Vista. In LAUSD’s Local District West, which includes Westside schools, there are 317 certified bilingual teachers for 13,058 ESL students, according to the district. The success of these programs and others like them has been cited by district officials as a prime reason for increasing enrollment at the abovementioned schools. And, with an increase in students the need for bilingual teachers has risen in proportion to LAUSD’s increasingly bilingual and language-immersion curriculum. At Broadway’s popular Mandarin
Chinese K-5 Immersion program, Principal Susan Wang has complained about not having enough qualified teachers. “Highly qualified teacher candidates for the Mandarin immersion program are hard to come by. We were really lucky to find two wonderful, dedicated teachers this year, but we will need more candidates for future years. As Mandarin becomes more and more in demand, we will need more teachers who are qualified to implement strong programs,” wrote Wang, who did not return calls or emails, in an essay for The Mandarin Institute. “At this time we’ve been able to keep up with the need, so we’re in good shape,” said Lydia Acosta Stephens, who heads LAUSD’s Multilingual and Multicultural Education Department. “We have many dormant bilingual teachers who may not be using their dual-language skills in a dual-language program right now.” During a recent education summit at Loyola Marymount University, which offers a degree in bilingual education,

experts compared notes on the declining number of teachers and how that could impact existing dual-language and bilingual programs. Politics have had a direct hand in creating the dearth of bilingual educators. Proposition 227, also known as the English Language in Public Schools Statute, was a 1998 state ballot initiative that essentially eliminated bilingual education, leading to fewer teachers entering the profession and creating a shortage of bilingual teachers, according to LMU scholars. “The need is very high and it’s going to be hard to meet it,” said LMU Director of Bilingual Education Liza Moritz Mastrippolito. As an example of the current political landscape, LMU was expecting 15 Mandarin-speaking student teachers to join their program this year, but due to the Trump administration’s trade wars with China, the students were unable to get visas to come to California. Magaly Lavadenz, executive director of the Center for Equity for English
Learners at LMU’s School of Education, said Loyola Marymount has many former students teaching in LAUSD classrooms. She thinks that even among well-meaning parents the question of gentrification can cause some to question the effectiveness of language immersion. “In communities like Mar Vista which have seen a transition of their community population that has more affluent people who see and understand the value of bilingualism as both a cognitive asset as well as an economic asset, a lot of our immigrant parents still need to understand that their children will learn English in a bilingual program. We don’t want to privilege one group over the other,” she said. Prop. 58, approved by voters in November 2016, repealed Prop. 227, energizing teachers who want to use their bilingual skills, said Acosta Stephens. “I get a sense that teachers are getting excited about the opportunity to use their bilingual skills again,” she said. gary@argonautnews.com

War of Words ‘Modern Family’s’ Danny Zuker on fighting The Donald in the Twitterverse but that’s really what it felt like. I mean, if you were gonna tell me, “Oh God, I’m gonna have to get into a Twitter war with Patton Oswalt,” I’m gonna be scared as shit, because he’s f**king smart. And good, you know? … But I was like in a Twitter war with a third grader. So, yeah, at no point did he hurt my feelings.
By Christina Campodonico In the real world, Emmy-winning executive producer Danny Zuker is probably best known for his work on the ABC comedy “Modern Family.” But online, he’s also known as the guy who went toe-to-toe with Donald J. Trump in an epic Twitter battle, back in 2013. During that comparatively less contentious time, Zuker decided to call out Trump, then host of NBC’s “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice,” on one of his boldfaced brags. (Trump had tweeted that his show had claimed the top ratings spot in the 10 p.m. hour; Zuker promptly tweeted back that the show had actually placed fourth.) “And we were off to the races for months,” says Zuker, until the president to-be blocked him on the social media platform. “I knew that meant I won,” says Zuker, who (spoiler alert) teased Trump about his ties made in China, his hair and ill-use of punctuation. “I kind of feel like it’s a badge of honor.” After the 2016 presidential election and a public reading of his exchange with Trump to benefit Hurricane Maria relief, Zuker decided to turn his tweets into a book with writer, editor and political satirist Paul Slanksy. The two discussed their collaboration, titled “He Started It: My Twitter War with Trump,” at West L.A.’s The Riveter co-working space on Tuesday, as part of a Rock the Vote campaign. But before that, we caught up with Zuker to talk about his tweets and what he learned from his Twitter war with a future president. What did you learn about Trump’s personality from your exchange? There’s a couple things I gleaned — one is I do really think he’s a profoundly stupid man. He’s aggressively ill-informed. He’s the least intellectually curious person we’ve had in the public eye in this kind of position. Also, he’s easily manipulated. After he blocked me, I wrote to him, “I miss us,” on April Fool’s Day. But he still checked in and writes back, “I miss you, too,” with, like, exclamation points! And it was almost sad. And so, I know about him, like what Putin knows about him — that all you have to do is tell him you like him, and you can get pretty much anything you want out of him. Like, I joke in the book that I could be Secretary of State if I did a 180 publicly. Which tweets really got under Trump’s skin? There were a couple things — anytime I would challenge his ratings or talk about his inheritance, that he is a trust fund person.
Michele Obama says “when they go low, we go high.” But did you feel like you had to play dirty with Trump? I adore Michelle Obama, and I think she’s terrific, but I think that “they go low, we go high strategy,” it automatically ties the good guy’s hands. We don’t get any points from the far right for being civil. Saying, “Please and thank you,” isn’t gonna move the needle anywhere. I’m glad that there are people like Michelle Obama, and I’m glad that there are other people in the party who are peacemakers, but I’m not built that way. I don’t think that’s what’s gonna get like-minded people — which is to say most of America — to the polls. Things that get us to the polls are outrage and anger. Is getting people to vote the reason why you decided to publish this book? I kind of want this book to be a little bit like a gift. It’s a short book, 95 pages — even a diehard Trump supporter could read it. But if you took this book and just read through, “Really, this is who you support? This is the guy you’re willing to have this religious fervor over? Can’t you do better?” You can. I think all of us sort of have a moral responsibility not only to vote, but to get as many people as we are physically able to vote. Would you still be in a Twitter war with Trump if he hadn’t blocked you? I would knock him down as much as I could. “He Started It” author Danny Zuker pulled no punches in his Twitter war with Trump Correcting his grammar was always great fun. He was really on a China run about how China’s screwing us. In the middle of this, [Jimmy Kimmel] sends me an email. The email was, “Do with these what you will.” And then it was just a beautiful list of 20 pictures that he had taken with his then fiancé, Molly, at the Trump SoHo [of Trump products made in China.] That was an endless source of ammunition. I still have a folder on my computer, no joke, of about 100 photos.
Trump has mocked people who’ve challenged him. Did you ever get your feelings hurt? At no point did I ever get my feelings hurt. … Honestly, could a dog hurt my feelings? I don’t think so. I talk about this also in the book, but I was very much lauded for how I took him down, and I always felt very guilty about that, because I honestly don’t have a single friend, comedian or otherwise, who couldn’t have destroyed him. I describe it like dunking on a toddler,
Who’s done the best job tweeting at Trump since you’ve been blocked? Weirdly, the person I think who’s done one of the best jobs against him is Stormy Daniels. Her tweets are fantastic, and they cut right to the heart of the things that he’s most sensitive about, which is masculinity, his wealth, and his appearance. He’s just a ball of insecurity. Proceeds from “He Started It!: My Twitter War with Trump” benefit the World Wildlife Fund, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) and Planned Parenthood.

Edrok One’s ‘CREEPSHOW’ assembles the weird, wild and curious By Andy Vasoyan What really creeps you out? For artist Edward Flores, aka Edrok One, what scares him is a guy in a hat named Freddy. (You know, the one from “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”) “When I was a kid, man, I was so scared of him,” Flores says. “Had trouble sleeping because of Freddy Krueger.” That creeping fear is exactly the vibe that emanates from Flores’ painting, hanging in the Mar Vista Art Walk Community Gallery (formerly known as Buckwild), as part of an art installation called “CREEPSHOW.” The piece is a stylized version of Freddy Krueger popping his snarling mug over a fence on a dark night, an ominous green glow lighting him from below. Freddy will loom on the walls of the gallery until Nov. 8, in the company of works by 19 other artists from the Westside, as well as a handful of other places in L.A.
Flores helped set up “CREEPSHOW,” which opened Oct. 20, as part of his work with the Mar Vista Art Walk. His Instagram (@edrokone) showcases his

paintings line the wall as songs like The Cranberries’ “Zombie” and Blue Öyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” play in the background, and hip patrons dressed predominantly in black wander past a bar made out of raw pine wood in the
shape of a coffin. The walls of the room are black and gray murals with scenes of ghosts, goblins, and cultural icons like Gonzo the Muppet in various states of Halloween haunting. That off-kilter merger of pop culture and Halloween spookiness is a thread woven throughout most of the works on display. One of Flores’ personal favorites is a piece by Daniel Toledo called “Waffles,” an oil painting of a girl sitting alone in a dreary autumn forest. She’s forlorn, she’s bald, she’s surrounded by boxes of Eggo waffles, and she’s the main character of a very popular Netflix series. (Hint: she’s played by teen actress Millie Bobby Brown). “I like how the art style is really classic, it looks almost old,” Flores says, “but I also like it because ‘Stranger Things’ is one of my favorite shows right now.” Flores wears his preferences (and references) on his sleeve, in regard to his art.

Inspired by monsters from his own artistic practice such as “Stanley” (No. 1), “Man-Spider” (No. 4), “Skyline” (No. 6), and even a horned critter who bears no name (No. 5), Edrok One has curated a show that mashes up the macabre with flashes of pop culture.

“CREEPSHOW” showcases an untitled vision of Frankenstein’s creature by the artist Enoe (No. 2); Nina Palomba’s “Boo Who,” featuring Casper the Friendly Ghost (No. 7); and the painting “Magic Eye” (No. 3) by Hannah Webb (aka The Obanoth), among many others.

case you were wondering.) His Freddy Krueger painting incorporates a neon green glow that’s ominous, but also amazingly, almost intoxicatingly vibrant, like the bright colors of cartoons or vintage ads. “When I look for colors, I go for the ones that are screaming my name,” Flores says. “A lot of retro art includes neon glows and bright, pop-y colors, and I’m definitely influenced by that.” The influence of iconic characters from his youth is just as clear in some of Flores’ other work. In one piece, the lovable droid C-3PO of “Star Wars” wears his friend R2-D2’s head as a helmet. In another, Toad from Nintendo’s Mario series screams from a vividly detailed mouth he did not possess in the original video games. Even Flores’ artist handle, Edrok One, is from his days growing up in and around Mar Vista and the Westside. “When I was younger I picked up a skateboard and started skating in Venice,
and after a while, with that came graffiti and tagging,” Flores says. “You gotta mark your stuff you know, and eventually Edrok One just stuck.”
After a tumultuous few years through his twenties, Flores at 31 is positioned in a unique place in the Mar Vista arts community — he’s becoming part of it
“When I look for colors, I go for the ones that are screaming my name. A lot of retro art includes neon glows and bright, pop-y colors, and I’m definitely influenced by that.” — Edward Flores, aka Edrok One The twin origins of street art and skate culture had a lasting impact and fueled a back and forth for Flores: “As soon as I turned 18, like I think this was actually a week or so after, I got in trouble and learned my lesson. After that, I started taking my art more seriously.”
as well as helping to get it established. In addition to his work with the Mar Vista Art Walk and its gallery, Flores is part of Rising Sons Independent, a collective of creators working together to promote art in the area and amongst its members. “I’ve seen the arts scene in downtown
LA, and it’s completely different over here in Mar Vista. It’s more local, more community-based, and we’re just getting started,” says Flores. During the run of “CREEPSHOW,” the artist will host horror movie nights on Thursdays; a figure drawing class that people can attend in costume will also be held. “All of that has ‘CREEPSHOW’ and the gallery as the backdrop,” he says, “and I’m excited to have so many artists from Mar Vista as part of the show. It’s definitely something we didn’t have in the area a few years ago, and I’m proud to be a part of it.” “CREEPSHOW: Presented by Edrok One” is on view at the Mar Vista Art Walk Community Gallery (12804 Venice Blvd., Mar Vista) through Nov. 8. Gallery hours are 2 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Follow the artist on Instagram @ edrokone or visit edrokone.com. October 25, 2018 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 15

and in some cases socioeconomically we see people who are concerned about their property values and what they may perceive as a threat to them. You also have people who talk about safety, particularly when it’s about homeless men, and those fears are real to them whether they are valid or not,” Cooke said. “This cultural change is happening near their homes and this is where they feel they can wield some sense of power,” Cooke continued. “Additionally, there seems to be no sense of decorum in our national political discussions so people feel free to express themselves in this way.” Venice seems to be literally spilt down the middle on building the temporary housing site at the Metro yard, and Garcetti made it clear — which he has done frequently since he announced his plan to house the city’s homeless through his “A Bridge Home” initiative in April — that he is requiring all 15 council districts to construct bridge housing units. “There’s no issue that I care about more than homelessness,” said the mayor, who was forced to pause several times due to constant interruptions. “Maybe we can find some common ground about how to house the homeless in Venice.” That night, there was scant evidence of any sort of mutual agreement. Nick Antonicello thinks Bonin
A draft design of what bridge housing at the former Metro bus yard could look like, looking west along Main Street has indirectly contributed to the boorish behavior and disrespect that dominated the town hall. “Had Garcetti not been there it would have been a complete disaster, because Mike Bonin has certainly lost the confidence of the people in that room. And it’s of his own doing,” asserted Antonicello, a Venice resident and real estate branding professional. While he doesn’t agree with how those against bridge housing conducted themselves, he thinks there is a correlation between their reaction to Garcetti — and especially Bonin — and how the event was conducted. “I believe that they believe that Bonin is detached from their reality, so they act in the manner that they do. I think that there was a real contrast in styles. Garcetti clearly came across as listening and Bonin came across as strident,” Antonicello observed. Cooke said earlier this year a similar situation took place in Washington, D.C., where Mayor Muriel Bowers and the City
The Critical Line
Council are building short-term housing in all of that city’s eight wards, or districts. “Some neighborhoods were more receptive than others,” Cooke said. Antonicello, who is leading a movement to separate Venice from Los Angeles, said the town hall was illustrative of why there is a contingent of Venice residents ready to break away from the big city. And this could be a watershed moment for them. “It’s a rallying cry in that the city of Los Angeles is too detached from the citizens of Venice. Cityhood would be a natural extension of the current neighborhood council process,” he said. Tantau said she misses her old neighborhood but not how it has become on matters like homelessness. “But I haven’t given up on Venice,” she concluded. “I love Venice, but I’m glad that I don’t live there anymore.” gary@argonautnews.com

Timewarp Records presents a lineup starting at 8 p.m. that sounds downright ghoulish and perfect for Halloween: Faint Endless, UFO Whisperer, Waxy and The Stolen Moans. All of these band names conjure up creepy associations, but the female-fronted Moans in particular promise an on-theme performance. Their debut single “The King of Claws” howls with haunting vocals, punk rock influences, and tells the tale of a willful black cat with despotic tendencies. We’ll leave the meaning of that up to you, but hearing this kind of music could be cathartic — a way to head bang out any screams you’ve

Old School Trick-or-Treating in Westchester
While normally a sleepy community, Westchester becomes a hotbed of nighttime activity on Halloween. Thanks to enthusiastic neighbors who decorate their front lawns with skeletons, spider webs and twinkly orange lights (basically bat signals for good candy), the word has gotten out that Westchester knows how to do Halloween right (and give out kingsize candy bars). If you live in the ’hood, congrats! You don’t have to go very far for Halloween fun. If you’re coming in from out of the area — even nearby Playa del Rey — get there early. Parking spots are tough to find past sundown. Anywhere between Sepulveda and Lincoln Boulevards and Manchester Blvd. and the bluffs in the 90045.

At Waterfront you don’t have to choose between eggs or tacos for breakfast
By Angela Matano The Waterfront
205 Ocean Front Walk, Venice info@thewaterfrontvenice.com thewaterfrontvenice.com With its flocks of tourists, stellar views and prime location, it’s a complete wonder that the Venice Boardwalk has not yet gone through an Abbot Kinneyor downtown Santa Monica-style transformation. With all the tie-dye, incense and Mary Jane paraphernalia on offer, the boardwalk can feel downright like the ’60s on almost any given day, (a brilliantly bohemian time for sure). But if brand new eatery The Waterfront is any indication, the winds of change (for better or for worse) are finally upon the approximately two-mile stretch of asphalt. And man, they sure are stylish. Taking the place of On the Waterfront (a café that inhabited the space for the past 23 years) the new iteration — which opened Wednesday — is completely revamped, with new ownership and a brand-new vibe. The space actually contains multitudes, with several different spaces meant to suit just about every mood, or desire you could possibly feel. A full-service restaurant makes for a terrific
date night; the overall style simultaneously elicits thoughts of posh islands and East Coast beaches — a cross between the Hamptons and Baja, with a dash of Bali and a skosh of Nantucket thrown in for good measure. In addition to the restaurant portion of Waterfront, the space encompasses an oceanfront beer garden, a cozy lounge area, an
salsa), and Cali-style (eggs, fingerling potato and smashed avocado). The rest of the menu features a lot less egg — as in none — but a bushel of other goodies, like ceviche, pork confit tacos, and beer-battered fish tacos with chipotle cream and serrano slaw. If you’re looking to really indulge, brunch at the Water-

(Is there anything Jake Matthews and 9Mile Investments, the folks behind the concept, failed to think of?) The taco portion of Waterfront is called Boardwalk Tacos, and the menu offers up quite a variety. Breakfast, served until 11 a.m., comes hearty (chorizo and fried egg), vegan (wild mushrooms and butternut squash
front promises to hook you up. The gluten-free waffle with maple butter, whipped creme fraiche and wild berries practically took my breath away. The thoughtful additions of lemon zest and fresh thyme took the staple up a few notches. True indulgence comes with a morning cocktail, and there are plenty of choices, including an unusual pairing of OJ and carrot juice in the mimosa. (That’s how (Continued on page 20)

you know you’re in Venice.) Another great alcoholic choice is the Bloody Mary, a twist on the original with the addition of cilantro-mustard. The alcoholic choices continue in the couple of bars that dot the complex, where you can perch, sit, stand, or lounge while imbibing. One of the stand out drinks is The Michelada, the usual beer, hot sauce and lime augmented with Champagne, Worcestershire, and teriyaki sauce. Yowza! Another unusual pick is the Los Angelino, a mix of espresso syrup, angostura bitters, dry vermouth and Luxardo cherries. Is your mouth watering yet? Waterfront’s artistic touches, executed by Heather Tierney, founder of Wanderlust Design and The Butcher’s Daughter, come as future-forward as the food. Original paintings, photographs and murals decorate the walls, celebrating the work of several local artists. Vibrant and playful, with a nod toward romance, the discrete spaces help transport you to exotic locales, while still feeling distinctly Venetian.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A What do real estate related propositions included in this November’s voter ballot really mean for me personally? Yes, it’s that time of year. Your neighbors have signs up telling you which way to vote. When it comes to real estate, this is an especially hot button issue, because whether we are a home owner, a tenant, or a landlord, EVERY ONE of us has generally has the majority of our income at stake. Let’s take a look at Proposition 10. Nothing stirs up the population like rent — In Los Angeles, according to Zillow, even renters in the area’s median income bracket are spending almost half of their monthly income on rent. It’s the highest percentage among all 35 metro areas studied by Zillow, even New York City. And remember, LA has rent control now! So what’s to be done about it? The lack of affordable housing in Los Angeles is at crisis level, and impacts so many other issues in our area, of course, including homelessness.
froze cities in place in regard to their year built exclusions at the time since Los Angeles had a 1978 cut-off at the time of enactment, the City could not change that year, even to 1995); and
a couple of buildings or business owners who may have owned a moderate number of buildings. What I witnessed, exclusively in rent controlled areas of Los Angeles, was a struggle to break even financially.
c) prohibition against vacancy rent controlthis restricted the laws in some cities, such as Santa Monica, where landlords were required to keep the rents tied to the previous year, even for new tenants.
Unfortunately, lower income housing often brings less than ideal tenants, desperate to hold on to it at all costs. I have seen tenants crowd their apartments, intentionally cause damage to their apartment and/or the building in order to create costly code violations for the landlords and reduced rent for themselves. I wish that I could say these were the exceptions. There certainly are also many good, hard working tenants out there. Many of these apartment buildings, built in the 1920s through 1970s need extensive maintenance that the rent control income simply makes unaffordable. What I’m saying This week’s quesTion is it’s not necessarily the poor vs the rich was answered by here- there are individuals facing tough Lisa PhiLLiPs, esq financial issues on both sides of this issue. real estate Collective Prop 10 will allow every City to pass new, Lisa Phillips is an active broader rent control laws, and the mayor of Realtor in the Los Angeles LA has already indicated that he will do just area, with more than twenty years as a practicing real that. Will it help? Your rent won’t go down. estate broker and attorney.

Every study of rent control www.LisaPhillipsRealEstate.com.
How you feel about Prop 10 may depend somewhat on your world outlook. Some believe that housing is a “right”, and like health care, must be provided, regardless of ability to pay. The question becomes Who should be required to provide that service at less than market value to take care of those who need assistance? Should it be the government, building housing and providing it to those in need? Or, if you vote yes for Prop 10 is on the ballot as a proposed means Prop 10, do you place that financial burden of addressing affordable housing. It seeks entirely on the individuals who own income to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Act, a state property? law that took effect in 1995, and put some There is a misconception that most rental limitations on broad forms of rent control. The properties are owned by large corporations main protections included were: who are getting rich on the high rents with a) exclusion of single family homes from rent no compassion to those in need. In my more control; than 20 years as a real estate attorney, often representing landlords, I generally b) exclusion of properties built at that time saw individual landlords who owned one or forward from rent control (1995) (This also PAGE 26 At Home – THE ARGONAUT’s Real Estate Section October 25, 2018
concludes that while it does help certain tenants lucky enough to get in, it worsens the availability of affordable housing overall. If you own a home, or hope to, and would like the option to rent that home out for income when you retire or when you travel, this Proposition makes your home fair game. When you decide to sell your home, it will be with the tenant in place (as a sale is not grounds to evict), reducing your sales price because of the cost and length of time necessary to relocate a tenant for someone who is buying your home to live in. This is a complex issue — it’s not owners vs renters — both groups need to educate themselves on the options and whether you believe this Proposition is the best solution. Either way, don’t forget to vote!

Skewered Celebrity and A Side of Scandal
Eliza Clark’s comedy ‘Quack’ is a prescient look at the culture of fame Photos by Craig Schwartz
By Bliss Bowen If you want your play to have that just-ripped-from-the-headlines feel, it helps to start writing it a year or two ahead of time. That’s one takeaway from conversations with two members of the collegial team currently rehearsing Eliza Clark’s smart comedy “Quack,” which opens Sunday, Oct. 28, at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. The play takes a sharply humorous look at what happens when a famous health TV show host finds his marriage, career and future prospects collapsing after he is savaged by a news expose — echoing numerous scandals about prominent men abusing women’s trust that hadn’t yet made headlines when Clark began workshopping “Quack” about two years ago. “I think she started writing it in 2016, before all of this crazy stuff coming out Actress Jackie Chung plays opposite Emmy Award-winning “Scandal” star about all these men in power,” says Dan Bucatinsky’s Dr. Baer in the upcoming world premiere of “Quack” actress Jackie Chung, who portrays the about an influential celebrity whose clear how prescient Eliza had been nurse/assistant and “right-hand woman” carefully constructed public image is because events of the world began to of lead character Dr. Irving Baer. While shredded by a whirlwind of accusations unfold and continued to unfold, right up not directly modeled after a Dr. Oz or and media coverage. Baer’s response to until this month. We’ve now seen this Dr. Phil, per se, Baer does have a TV those events, and a developing men’s story played out dozens of times, in show, which gives him — like several men who’ve recently toppled from mighty positions — a high platform from which to fall. “We’re thinking, like,‘Oh my God, Eliza, “We’re thinking, like, ‘Oh my God, Eliza, what else can you tell us about the what else can you tell us about the future?’ future?’” says Chung with a laugh. “But But it does look at a very famous man, and it does look at a very famous man, and what [celebrity] does to a person.” what [celebrity] does to a person.” Director Neel Keller recalls hearing an — “Quack” actress Jackie Chung early draft of the five-character play in June 2017 as part of a writers’ workshop with CTG (Center Theatre Group, of a frightening way in all regards — this which the Kirk Douglas Theatre is a part, rights movement, drives the plot as well as the comedy. story of people in power being quesand where Keller is an associate artistic “I found the balance of comedy with tioned, and then that questioning taking director). what really is a very scary contemporary on a viral speed and frenzy, both for At that time, he says, it seemed like “a subject thrilling, theatrically,” says good and for bad, and the turmoil that reaction to the combination of celebrity Keller, who compares the play’s trajecensues and the mixed motives of the culture, of the election of Donald Trump, tory to a roller coaster ride. “Then we various complicit parties in all that of the rise of the alt-right,” even though Trump is never mentioned in Clark’s story began working on the play, and it became public shaming.
“Who’s involved when a celebrity goes through that kind of process?” Keller continues to muse. “What’s at play? Who’s pulling strings?” Gender power discrepancies, issues and imbalances figure significantly in the subtext of the play, as Baer has been offering health and wellness advice to a primarily female audience for 20 years. As portrayed by Emmy-winning “Scandal” actor Dan Bucatinsky, Baer’s voluble indignation is stoked by his perception of himself as “a great champion of women and a great feminist,” according to Keller, who notes that Bucatinsky is onstage for almost every scene. “Dan was very, very happily part of the last workshop we had before we started production,” he says. “He’s an incredibly talented actor and a hard worker, which you need for a new play like this when it has a role that large; it’s a mountain to climb, and you need an actor who can really lead the whole cast in tackling the work.” Chung, who says she was happy to find “a thriving theatre scene” in LA when she moved here from New York, worked with Keller four years ago when he staged Kimber Lee’s drama “different words for the same thing” at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. “Quack” demands greater speed and a very different tone from the actors as they trade zingers and balance sharpedged comedy (“Eliza has a great ear for dialogue,” says Chung) with subtler, more serious questions about the people around the skewered celebrities who knowingly or unknowingly enable them. “What I love so much about this play,” says Chung, “is that you find yourself empathizing with people you don’t think you should.” “Quack” opens Sunday, Oct. 28, and continues through Nov. 18 at Kirk Douglas Theatre, 9820 Washington Blvd., Culver City. $25 to $72.

Classical, Americana and Roots
Violinist and ‘Treme’ star Lucia Micarelli serves up a musical gumbo at The Broad Stage Friday In March PBS aired “An Evening With Lucia Micarelli,” which features polished renditions of Earle’s “This City” and the Ella Fitzgerald standard “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most,” both of which Micarelli performed on “Treme.” They’re interspersed with the traditional fiddle tune “Ladies Fancy,” a stormy performance of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” and classical pieces by Barber, Ravel, and Saint-Saens. Micarelli’s currently promoting a DVD and album from the PBS special, and plans to mix selections from that with new material during her Friday concert at The Broad Stage, accompanied by violinist husband Neel Hammond, violist Zach Dellinger, cellist Vanessa Freebairn-Smith, pianist Robert Thiess, and bassist Ian Walker.

By Bliss Bowen There seems never to have been any serious doubt that Lucia Micarelli would be a musician — only some initial question as to which instrument she might play. When her 3-year-old fingers were deemed too small for piano lessons at a local Suzuki school, Micarelli embraced the violin so whole-heartedly that by age 6, she won a competition that gave her the chance to perform with the Honolulu Orchestra. The violin has effectively been her passport through life since, from classical training at Juilliard and the Manhattan School of Music through world tours accompanying trumpeter Chris Botti, Josh Groban, and Jethro Tull. It’s also what prompted the call that would take her life and career in unexpected directions. The Highland Park resident had already released two albums, 2004’s “Music From a Farther Room” and 2007’s “Interlude,” by the time she got called to portray street-busking violinist Annie on writerproducer David Simon’s acclaimed HBO series “Treme” (which aired from 2010 to 2013). Set in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, the show introduced Micarelli not only to a far broader audience, but also to the Crescent City’s myriad streams of roots music. “Working on that show was like an explosion,” she recalls, “just because I honestly didn’t know what kind of music is represented down there. I think I was just like, ‘Oh, New Orleans jazz,’ like that’s the genre. Then I got down there and there’s trad jazz and Cajun and Creole and zydeco … so much stuff.” Simon, an avid music lover who had himself been schooled on New Orleans music by actor Wendell Pierce, promptly thrust the overwhelmed Micarelli into situations where she was expected to jam with local musicians.
