Venice balks at boardwalk blockades Locals come out against traffic barriers and police surveillance cameras planned in response to Ocean Front Walk tragedy By Gary Walker Traffic barriers and other safety measures planned for Venice Beach after a driver plowed through boardwalk crowds in August got an icy reception from seaside residents during a Tuesday community forum on public safety. Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin proposed installing short, vertical posts known as bollards to block vehicles from entering Ocean Front Walk immediately following the tragedy. On Aug. 6, 38-year-old Nathan Louis Campbell of Colorado allegedly drove onto the boardwalk and, according to witnesses, intentionally targeted pedestrians, killing 32-year-old Italian tourist Alice Gruppioni and injuring 16 others. In addition to traffic bollards, city officials have also proposed lighting upgrades as well as a network of Los Angeles Police Dept.-monitored surveillance cameras and public address speakers along the boardwalk. A few of the more than 100 people who gathered for the town hall at Westminster Avenue Elementary School spoke in favor of better lighting or a stronger in-person police presence, but a vast majority of speakers railed against setting up barriers and installing police cameras. Surveillance, roadblocks — “this is not what Venice is about,” said Lisa Acock, a Venice artist. Ira Koslow, a public school teacher and member of the Venice Neighborhood Council, was skeptical traffic bollards would be an effective deterrent. Witnesses claim Campbell drove around barriers off Dudley Avenue to enter the boardwalk, according to reports. (Continued on page 12)

Hoop Dreams
Will the Clippers become L.A.’s team in 2014? By Gary Walker The temperament of the Clippers wasn’t easy to read during a brief encounter with the press on Sunday inside the team’s 42,000 square-foot practice fortress in Playa Vista. Players, mostly second-team reserves, ran routine shooting drills. Backup Center Ryan Hollins practiced post-up moved in the lane while guarded by a much smaller defender. Coaches called out instructions and encouragement while stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul took it easy on the sidelines. But the Clippers, for years relegated to second-tier status in the hierarchy of Los Angeles pro basketball, stand poised this season to wrestle top-dog status from the storied Los Angeles Lakers. Where the aging Lakers struggled to find their tempo last year, the Clippers emerged younger, more athletic and deeper on the bench, beating the Lakers each time they met on the court. Could the 2013-14 season be the year the Clippers takeover Laker-town? “We’re still working on a lot of stuff,” answered new Head Coach Glenn “Doc” Rivers, who won an NBA championship (Continued on page 10)

Parking upgrades ahead for Abbot Kinney Busy lots near the boulevard may get pay meters and a long-awaited paving
By Joe Piasecki Unpaved lots that offer free public parking near bustling Abbot Kinney Boulevard are slated for new concrete surfaces and fee-collecting parking meters. Pending approval by the California Coastal Commission, Los Angeles city
workers would start construction at the lots on the 1300 block of Electric Avenue and 1600 block of Irving Tabor Court in March, according to Dept. of Public Works documents. The meters are intended to increase turnover at the lots and free up increasing-
ly precious parking spaces for beachgoers and patrons of local businesses. Current users can park all day for free. After the upgrades, parking would cost $1 per hour within yet to be specified time limits. “That’ll be the big change. It won’t be (Continued on page 10)

Anti-charter bias, not parking, driving clash at school
to enrich themselves. And so when I decided to enroll my daughter, I looked very carefully at the mission and methods Re: “Conflict simmers over of CWC. And what I found traffic woes at Stoner Avenue was a community of dedicated Elementary,” Oct. 17 educators committed to teaching I’m a parent at Citizens of the every single child to her or his World Charter school, and my fullest potential through methods daughter was one of the students that truly engage the child and who had to walk past protesters on Friday (Oct. 18) yelling, “Hey draw upon a natural love of learning. hey! Ho ho! CWC has got to As the daughter of a lifelong go!” teacher, I am invested in knowing I thought this issue was that the teachers at any school parking until I came to pick up that my kids attend are not being my daughter and was handed a exploited. And I know that at small, yellow flyer filled with anti-charter school Internet links. CWC they are not. I was particularly offended I understand very well that to see the question on the flyer many charter schools are run that read: “Does CWC recruit by for-profit corporations that only certain populations or are have no interest in educating children and endeavor only minority students, special needs VOL 43, NO 44 Local News & Culture

students and students with low test scores excluded?” Such a question could only come from someone who has a generic animus against charter schools with no knowledge of CWC. My daughter has friends — not just classmates, but actual friends — at CWC who are African-American, Latino/a, Asian-American, white, and of mixed race. Every scrap of information from the school is in both English and Spanish, and the principal hosts both coffee and cafecito sessions with parents. The school gives preference in its enrollment lottery to children eligible for free or reduced lunches. And I know for a fact that special needs students are welcomed at CWC, because my friend’s son who has special needs attends CWC and loves it. If this issue is truly about parking, I know that I, as a CWC parent, and we, the CWC community, are committed to finding a solution. But I strongly object to anyone who protests our school using “parking” as a cover for an ulterior motive. Anoosh Jorjorian Santa Monica
Protest against charter missed the mark
Re: “Conflict simmers over traffic woes at Stoner Avenue Elementary,” Oct. 17 Turn over a rock at any socalled grassroots protest against a charter school and you will typically find the teachers union behind it, whipping up fake controversy. Your story failed to mention that protest organizer Jose Benitez is an LAUSD employee and as a teacher was rated “less effective than average” in a Los Angeles Times report. Perhaps Benitez could improve his performance if he spent less time on the sidewalk protesting Citizens of the World Charter during school hours. Friday’s protest, timed to coincide with a CWC tour, reeked of union dirty tricks. Fortunately, parents who are drawn to charter schools tend to be informed enough to see through this. We haven’t decided where to send our child to kindergarten yet, but if anything, this faux protest tipped the scales toward CWC, which isn’t bound by the union’s absurd
lifetime tenure rules that protect ineffective teachers like him. Last year the powerful California Teachers Association helped kill a bill that would have made it slightly easier to fire teachers who abuse students. Then it tried to pass a sham bill to reduce the political fallout from protecting pedophiles instead of kids. Gov. Jerry Brown, usually a strong ally of CTA, vetoed the bill, saying it made the problem even worse. We are generally supportive of unions but can think of no other profession that makes it nearly impossible to fire not only poor performers but also those who endanger children. LAUSD couldn’t even immediately fire the Miramonte Elementary School teacher who is charged with blindfolding students, feeding them his own semen and putting cockroaches on their faces. LAUSD had to pay him to leave, and he’s sitting in jail, collecting his pension, paid for by taxpayers. As long as that’s the case, parents will continue to flee to innovative and high-performing charter schools like CWC, which (Continued on page 7)

have more control over hiring decisions. The unions know that, which is why they use underhanded tactics to attack fledgling charters. There may be some legitimate logistical concerns that need to be worked out as CWC gets off the ground, and we are fairly certain they can be addressed with a little constructive dialogue. However, we suspect these protest shenanigans are less an issue of traffic and parking than an anti-charter political agenda in disguise. Jenny and Victor Chi Westchester
But in the presence of issues like this there’s 200 people coming together to talk about marijuana. This makes me very angry. [Argonaut reporter] Gary Walker previously wrote that some sidewalks are at such an angle that they have attracted skateboarders who use them as ramps. What are the residents in this area doing about this? There seems to be a total lack of interest in dealing with infrastructure issues. Stefan Treff Santa Monica
What good is it for me to call 311 when the department is totally unresponsive? Can they please take a more proactive approach rather than reacting after someone gets hurt? In a direct plea to Councilman Mike Bonin, please tell me what I can further do after contacting both your field offices about fixing the road on the 3600 block of McLaughlin Avenue in Mar Vista before someone else falls from his bike like I did. Also please tell me how many more years the sidewalks near Charnock and Centinela will look like they do today? Is it a lack of money, a lack of respect or a lack of responsibility on the city’s part? I don’t know.
Santa Monica Airport is worth saving
Re: “Close the Santa Monica Airport … with a caveat,” guest
opinion, Oct. 10 We don’t often write letters, but feel this is necessary on the Santa Monica Airport topic. When we were plane owners, flying back and forth to the Salinas Valley, it was a pleasure to have this airport at our disposal rather than Hawthorne or Whitman. We lived in Venice and still do. It’s been 45 years now —45 years we’ve been listening to people complain that they should never have bought a home near the airport in the first place. The problem, as we see it, is lengthening the runway to allow small jets to land. Leaving the “buffer” zone too short at 300 feet is wrong. It should be left at the 1,000 feet it was.
This is a small-plane airport and should be available to small plane owners, commuters, flying schools and tourists. It should not be turned into condos and parks. We know the developers are salivating at the thought of getting their hands on this piece of land. If someone would take the time to count the number of small planes taking off and landing everyday, they would be agog at the ratio of small planes to accidents. Stop this constant complaining and be thankful the city has revenue from a beautiful airport and spend a day at the museum, restaurants and various events. Bruce and Marlyn Gibson Venice
Mar Vista should chill out about medical pot
Re: “Mar Vista rallies against proposed pot clinic, Oct. 17” I was too ill to attend the meeting of the Mar Vista Community Council but wish I had been there. Anyone who wants to stop a pot clinic is either myopically ignorant, blatantly moronic or has been blessed to have never had cancer or the other diseases medical pot benefits. Really, really stupid, or worse: selfish. Since 1954 I have been fighting cancers all over my body. That’s 59 years. In 1952 I was accidentally overdosed with radiation when given X-ray treatments, like millions of others around the world from the 1930s to the late 1950s. In 2001 I had a tumor the size of a golf ball in the arch of my left foot. I was in agony all the way up to my hip while the leg dragged along, sleep evaded me and morphine and methadone were useless. I went to Europe. A friend there suggested I “take a puff”; within minutes I was pain free but not stoned. I believe that marijuana is an intelligent plant and knows why it is being smoked. Wanna get high? Wanna no pain? Come to Earth Mamma’s friend! Jeanne Elizabeth Blum Santa Monica
Potholes, not pot, should take priority in Mar Vista
Re: “Mar Vista rallies against pot clinic,” Oct. 17 Where are the priorities in Mar Vista? Many streets and sidewalks are in disrepair, and an article about pot ends up on the front page of your newspaper. You should rather concentrate your energy on the fact that people like me are getting hurt badly on Mar Vista streets and make sure the L.A. Bureau of Street Services is not turning a deaf ear when residents like me come forward and tell them over and over again where problems exist.

NEWS LMU dedicates Rosendahl archive
ArgonautNews.com Photo by Keith Hedgecock
Broadcaster turned city official feted by Gray Davis and Richard Riordan at campus event By Gary Walker More than 3,450 hours of public affairs programming produced and hosted by veteran television journalist and former Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl are now catalogued for the ages in a special archive at Loyola Marymount University. LMU celebrated the opening of its “Bill Rosendahl – Adelphia Communications Corporation Collection of Public Affairs Television Programs” on Oct. 22 with a ceremony on campus where the prolific interviewer found himself being interviewed. The discussion led by political science professor Fernando Guerra included two frequent Rosendahl interview subjects: former California Gov. Gray Davis and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan. Davis said shows hosted by
Rosendahl, who later represented Westside communities on the L.A. City Council for eight years, provided a unique platform for those interested in public affairs. “In the era before Twitter and Facebook, Bill’s show was really the outlet for people who wanted to meet their legislator, their congressperson or supervisor,” Davis said. “It was a wonderful forum, very welcoming, and it was place where anyone could have their say.” Rosendahl’s programs “had the brightest most interesting people to question you,” said Riordan. “The panels of people that he had asking questions were people that you see all over the place on TV now.” Housed in the William H. Hannon Library, the collection spans 16 years of Rosendahl’s broadcast career.
Bill Rosendahl, left, celebrates his broadcast days with Gray Davis and Richard Riordan during a ceremony at LMU.
“We let people express themselves in a way that they felt comfortable, but we still informed the public, which was what we always wanted to do,” said Rosendahl, who recalled that his first guest was then-Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley.
Rosendahl, who later became an executive at Adelphia Communications, credited former owner Leonard Tow with letting him structure the programs according to his very inclusive vision. “It’s an honor and a privilege
Westchester-Playa council debates voting rules
One member wants to ditch at-large elections so residential stakeholders will have more say By Gary Walker A member of the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa wants to change the way the body’s members are elected by abandoning at-large contests and replacing them with races according to geographic zones. Council Vice President Mark Redick says tying seats to voters in 15 sub-districts would ensure that residents have more say at the ballot box about how they’re represented and would limit the potential influence of special interest groups, particularly those backed by voters who don’t live in the area but show up to support candidates tied to specific and sometimes regional causes. His proposal comes a month after Los Angeles City Council members voted to tighten voter eligibility rules in all 95 neighborhood councils by replacing the “factual basis stakeholder” eligibility with a “community stakeholder” definition. Factual basis voting was controversial because the criteria were seen by many very tenuous. The new regulations would restrict participation in
elections to voters who have a “substantial and ongoing” status in a particular community, such as a religious organization or a school. “This helps to eliminate the ‘receipt voter’ or the occasional voter,” said Gracyie Liu, general manager of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, which oversees the operation of neighborhood councils. But even before the rule change, councils have been able to designate certain voters for certain seats to avoid domination by particular interest groups, she said. Out of 31 total seats on the Westchester-Playa council, three are reserved for business directors, one is dedicated for income property holders and one each goes for senior citizens, community organizations, youth organizations, religious organizations, service clubs, education institutions, Los Angeles International Airport and Loyola Marymount University. The rest are at-large. Westchester-Playa’s bylaws do not allow for voting by zone or district, however, and city regulations would not permit such a change until next year.
PAGE 8 THE ARGONAUT October 31, 2013
Redick, who earlier this year proposed eliminating seats for businesses and organizations, said the switch to districts would compliment the new voter rules supported by the Los Angeles City Council. “We had the factual basis voter, which was actually factual fraud and bastardized the spirit and the intent of the neighborhood council system. Now we have the opportunity to live up to that spirit by allowing board members to be elected by their duly eligible stakeholders,” he said. “This council should not be run as an adjunct of the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce.” Not everyone’s on board with Redick’s assessment. Westchester-Playa council President Cyndi Hench said Redick’s plan for switching to sub-district elections would unfairly disenfranchise one group to benefit another — shifting the balance of power very strongly in favor of residential stakeholders by muting the voices of everyone else. “Our bylaws were written to ensure inclusion of all kinds of stakeholders. There are about equal number of seats that require that you live in the
district and those that do not,” Hench said. “Board members are not elected to represent only a particular part of the community. They are on the board to represent the entire community, and the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa bylaws reflect that in the [current] voting rules,” Hench said. “Everyone gets to weigh in, and that is more inclusive and more in line with the vision and spirit of what neighborhood councils are meant to be.” Others suggest there may be middle ground in the debate over at-large seats versus those elected by sub-district. The Mar Vista Community Council has found a successful balance by maintaining an even split between the two types of seats, said council First Vice President Bill Koontz. “I like the fact that we have an even mix of both systems,” Koontz said. “About half of the directors are directly voted in by their neighbors to represent them and their needs, while the other almost-half are at large and may be elected by anyone.” § Gary@ArgonautNews.com
that LMU would have these archives of 16 unfettered years [of programming] that they can give to their students so they can study them and maybe be inspired by them,” Rosendahl said. § Gary@ArgonautNews.com

News in brief Venice: Road rage clash ends in shooting
A Venice resident and his adult son were shot Tuesday night during a confrontation that started as a traffic argument, according to Los Angeles police. Both men, the father in his 50s and the son in his 20s, are in stable condition at a local hospital and expected to survive, said LAPD Sgt. Sgt. Gregory Probst. The shooting occurred at about 8 p.m. in the 800 block of Indiana Avenue, Probst said. While driving a motorcycle earlier in the evening, the father had argued with a group of men who had cut him off in traffic. The men followed the motorcycle driver home, where a second confrontation that resulted in the shooting occurred.

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

Clippers under Rivers acquired a number of players, but most are regarded more for their offensive skills. Shooting guard J.J.

It could also prevent some teams from trying to reduce Paul’s ability to penetrate by sending players to pack the middle of the lane.

with the Boston Celtics in 2010. “We’re working with a new team and it’s going to take some time to get us all on the same page.” Rivers downplayed any special importance in how his team might fare against their cross-town rivals — “There’s no special trophy for beating the Lakers. I’m looking at how we play against the entire Western Conference,” he said — but there are other signs the Clippers take
the comparison seriously. Rivers, according to an ESPN report, has also ordered Lakers’ championship banners and retired player uniforms to be covered up during Clippers home games at the shared Staples Center. And during Sunday’s workout, the coach and his team sported T-shirts that read “Los Angeles Basketball,” not “Clippers Basketball,” as if to stake a claim on the city. Despite high expectations, the Clippers are off to a disappointing start. On Tuesday, the opening day of the NBA season, the Lakers upset the Clippers 116-

“I think high expectations are good for us. But you still have to play the game.” – Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers
103 at Staples with what Los Angeles Times sportswriter Eric Pincus wrote was a “stunning” performance by the Lakers’ second-team. Rivers was regarded as a defensively focused coach in Boston, where he had a quick point guard similar in style to Paul in Rajon Rando, so 116 points can’t sit well. On Sunday, the coach offered a blunt assessment. “We’re still not were we want to be defensively as a team,” said Rivers, citing injuries as a reason. Griffin, who briefly spoke with the press, said he thinks how his team plays on the other side of the ball will determine how far they can go this season. “As long as we play within our defensive principles we’ll be OK,” the power forward said. During the offseason, the
Once paved with a permeable concrete surface, the 667-foot long and 30-foot wide Electric Avenue lot would contain 66 marked spaces, according to Coastal Commission documents.

While the new layout would free up fewer additional spaces than a proposal by business owners to build an automated parking structure on the Electric lot, Ven-

during last season’s first-round playoff exit, thinks that it won’t take long to integrate the newcomers into the offense. “It just a matter of them getting the reps and getting acclimated to our system,” he said. But it’s the marquee players Griffin and Paul who get the most attention. Following the acquisition of Paul last year, the Clippers mounted a battling spirit that translated into several close wins that in prior years might not have happened. And the six-foot Paul (diminutive among NBA point guards) was often the one leading the end-of-the game charge. A SportsIllustrated.com panel recently prognosticated the Clippers making a run at the Western Conference this year, but none of the five writers had

them winning it. The clippers “need a year to develop Blake Griffin and [starting center] DeAndre Jordan as future champions,” wrote writer Ian Thomeson. Griffin said playing with Paul and Jordan last year helped the team recognize what it will take to join the ranks of the NBA elite. “We have a good understanding offensively and defensively of what you have to do,” he said. “We just have to be consistent.” Rivers said he considered injuries the wild card that can hamper a team’s performance. “You really can do much about them. Everything else you control over,” he said. Rivers also knows fans and analysts alike expect the Clippers to not only prove themselves the better team in Los Angeles, but also make a run for the conference title. And, even for the typically stoic coach, that’s not a bad thing. “I love that people think of us in that way. We have high expectations for ourselves,” Rivers said. “I think high expectations are good for us. But you still have to play the game.” § Gary@ArgonautNews.com

“If someone wants to drive onto Ocean Front Walk, they’re going to do it,” Koslow said. “None of those things are going to work.” The neighborhood council has yet to vote on the proposals. City officials, however, have already installed additional traffic control signs throughout the area and traffic bollards at five locations intersection Ocean Front Walk, according to a multiagency assessment of public safety at Venice Beach. In the report, city Dept. of Recreation and Parks officials considered traffic gates at some boardwalk entrances and decorative planters, public art and bike racks at others in addition to retractable bollards that would block traffic but allow public safety vehicles to pass. “We struggled with this, but we thought that retractable bollards were the best solution,” said Michael Shull, an assistant director of the department.
Bonin’s council office on details of the proposed surveillance and public address system. “Although [the system] would be unique to Venice, it is not unique to Los Angeles,” said Gomez. In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, authorities in New York have installed surveillance cameras at locations that attract tourists and large crowds, including Central Park. Some at the meeting feared infringement on personal privacy and accused the city of advancing a broader agenda to exert control over boardwalk activity. Bonin said the Venice boardwalk was many things to many people — “a neighborhood, a tourist destination, for others it’s a park” — but “for all of us it’s a precious resource that must be kept clean and must be kept safe.” Venice resident Nick Antonicello, a frequent critic of city government, said officials should have met with the public earlier to discuss public safety proposals. “This is not the end of the conversation — it’s the beginning,” Bonin said. § Gary@ArgonuatNews.com

Sound and Spectacle
Transplant Shane O’Reilly’s theatrical Surgeon Marta headlines Friday’s Day of the Undead festival at TRiP in Santa Monica By Michael Aushenker On stage there are diabolical doctors, deranged nurses, wheels flying off an out-of -control gurney set ablaze. The fervent performances of Chane O’Reilly’s horrorhardcore band Surgeon Marta are 100% rock ’n’ roll fun, but they also appear to be rooted in real-life trauma that shaped the musician and his band. A native of Ireland, O’Reilly was working as a bus driver in Minneapolis, Minn., before a real-life medical emergency brought him to Santa Monica: his musician brother was dying of cancer. His brother’s last wish was for O’Reilly to take over his apartment, and as O’Reilly packed some of his sibling’s
belonging to ship back to Ireland he realized that was what he wanted, too. “The couple nights I was here, I walked out to the ocean. It was an ecstatic, profound living postcard,” said O’Reilly, who sings, plays guitar and writes his own music for Surgeon Marta. O’Reilly didn’t speak directly about ties between his experiences and his art, but credited his father — a lover of opera and classical — for introducing him to music in a time rife with political violence. He recalls a childhood memory of people rushing to assist the victim of a bomb attack north of Belfast, where the family lived briefly, only to find, “literally, a [detached] head on the pavement,” he said.
“These kind of things, they had an effect on people. There’s no getting around it,” O’Reilly said. When Surgeon Marta performs Friday during the Day of the Undead festival at TRiP in Santa Monica, the band may opt for its traditional show or continue to explore more sci-fi oriented leanings that have come of late, he said. “We’re getting away from the doctors and nurses,” O’Reilly said. “We’re pushing the music, reaching out to the classic influences.” Surgeon Marta has been grappling with identity. Their influences include late ‘50s to early ‘60s girl groups like the Chantels, the Shirelles, the (Continued on page 20)

Johnny Cash. “He was a poet and an artist unlike anyone I have ever known,” Kristofferson said of Cash before a crowd of some 350 people. With the air of an elder statesman with his silver hair and goatee, tan cowboy boots, and black dress shirt and jeans (a nod to The Man in Black?), Kristofferson brought an affable, humbled presence, especially when discussing Cash. While still and aspiring musician and still in the military, Kristofferson met Cash through a friend in the late 1960s at Nashville’s legendary Grand Ol’ Opry. “I was thunderstruck!” Kristofferson recalled. “He shook hands with me and he changed my life. I knew I was right where I belonged.” Later, as a Columbia Records custodian, Kristofferson broke
revive Cash’s career by stripping down his sound and giving Cash the opportunity to write new songs and cover younger artists. For a cover of Trent Reznor’s “Hurt,” Cash did for the heroinaddiction ballad what he did with Kristofferson’s melancholy alcohol paean “Sunday Morning Coming Down”: he made it his own. The Rubin period led to three Grammys for Cash. Kristofferson also spoke of a similar musical debt to Hilburn, recounting how the critic caught him opening for Linda Ronstadt at the Troubadour in 1970 and raved about the performance in print. It was the best thing that ever happened to me,” Kristofferson said “I had never worked the Troubadour before, and I have never stopped working since.” Just two months after that West Hollywood concert, Cash’s cover of Kristofferson’s “Sunday

An ode to a friend
Kris Kristofferson discusses Johnny Cash with veteran music writer Robert Hilburn at New Roads School By Michael Aushenker Kris Kristofferson has achieved a storied career and, some would say, led a charmed life. The 77-year-old has penned and recorded songs — “Me and Bobby McGee,” “For the Good Times,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” “Sunday Morning Coming Down” — that became not only hits, but classics. He held his own as an
actor with James Coburn and Warren Oates in Sam Peckinpah films, starred opposite Barbara Streisand in “A Star is Born” and enjoyed a late career revival that included the Marvel Comics vampire franchise Blade. He was an Army helicopter pilot and a Rhodes Scholar who broke into the music business working as a janitor at Columbia’s Nashville recording studios. He was

married to country starlet Rita Coolidge. His super-group The Highwaymen towered over the 1980s country music scene. But Kristofferson wasn’t in Santa Monica on Tuesday to talk about any of that. No, he joined Robert Hilburn for a Writer’s Bloc event at New Roads School to talk about another life—that of his late friend and fellow Highwayman
company rules and slipped the Cash a song he had penned when Cash was recording with good pal Bob Dylan. Kristofferson’s career soon took off. In the program with former Los Angeles Times music critic Hilburn, who just released the new book “Johnny Cash: A Life,” Kristofferson opened up about what it was to know and work with Cash as a songwriter and band mate. The Highwaymen, which also featured Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, produced three albums in an era that wasn’t kind to Cash. By the late 1980s he’d fallen off the scene and had trouble commanding an audience. Columbia even dropped him from the label. “Johnny Cash built Columbia,” Kristofferson said, shaking his head. It was at his low ebb in the early 1990s that an unlikely player walked into Santa Ana’s now-defunct Rhythm Café, where Cash played before a sparse crowd. It was Rick Rubin — then a young producer behind albums by the likes of the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, L.L. Cool J, Slayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers — who would
Morning Coming Down,” a world-weary composition about a lonely alcoholic, hit the charts on its way to becoming a signature Cash classic. Although the Writers’ Bloc program was billed as a conversation, Kristofferson couldn’t resist performing. He played four songs: “Me & Bobby McGee,” “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” and both “Pilgrim Chapter 33” and “To Beat the Devil” — which the singer said were inspired by Cash’s internal contradictions and battles with drug and alcohol addiction. “I spent three years and 700 pages trying to say that,” Hilburn said of his book after Kristofferson played “Pilgrim Chapter 33.” Despite Cash’s welldocumented internal conflicts, Kristofferson’s awe of his mentor-figure never flagged. “Johnny Cash never disappointed me,” Kristofferson said. “He had some hard times. He was not embarrassed to admit them. He was larger than life, all of the time.” During his performance there were moments when Kristofferson lost his place in
these iconic songs, but the singer laughed it off and chalked it up to age. Together, Cash and Kristofferson represent a generation of country artists who defy categorization, blending elements of country, rock, blues and gospel. Music-wise, they are their own men. After the program, a woman in the audience shouted to Hilburn that he should write a book about Kristofferson. “He’s writing his own book,” Hilburn replied.§ Michael@ArgonautNews.com

Dip your oar at Pepy’s Galley By Richard Foss

Pepy’s Galley
12125 Venice Blvd., Mar Vista (310) 390-0577 pepysgalley.com “No pipe or cigar smoking,” admonishes the sign on the scuffed podium by the register at Pepy’s Galley. It hasn’t been legal to smoke in restaurants for 15 years, but the warning is still up. It feels right, since a visit to this coffee shop is as close to time travel as you can get without a special effects budget. The restaurant housed within the Mar Vista Lanes bowling alley was apparently once tropical-themed, as evidenced by the lava rocks on the wall and the weathered tiki outside the front door, but except for those touches it’s pure 1950s coffee shop, complete with the pies in a glass case. It’s not the kind of place I
environment, brightened when he tried it. He turned gloomy again when his lunch arrived. He had ordered a Cajun burger, which we were told would be blackened on the grill with spices, but the seasoning was so faint that we wondered if the order had gone in wrong. When we asked our server, he said that they had been having complaints about these being too hot, so they use less seasoning now. Why anyone who objects to spicy food would order something called a Cajun burger is beyond me, but surely a place that offers to make random items for customers could ask diners how highly they’d like something seasoned. I had ordered the most interesting item on the menu — ropa vieja, a Cuban dish of beef stewed with red and green bell pepper and onions. This was remarkably good and somewhat spicier than you usually find

I don’t usually order coffee shop steaks because I figure that they can’t be buying top-quality meat if they’re selling it for twelve bucks, but I decided to take his advice. It wasn’t as tender as a steak costing two or three times as much, but it was surprisingly good, with a smoky char that accented the meat. Unfortunately the vegetables that

usually focus much attention on, but a friend told me that some good cooking happens in this humble establishment. The menu is mostly American standards, breakfasts, burgers, salads and the like, but the wall behind the counter is festooned with specials — multigrain pancakes, several sandwiches and a few Mexican items included. More interestingly, a note on the menu reads: “If you want a dish not on the menu, ask for it, and if we have the ingredients you get what you desire!” I liked the attitude, but didn’t challenge them with odd requests. On the first visit we started with a cup of homemade chili, which was made with ground beef and mildly spiced. It didn’t have the kick of serious chili, but there were layers of flavor, and I’d happily have it over a burger or in an omelet. My companion, skeptical that we could find good food in this down-market
in local Cuban restaurants, and somewhat hotter than the chili. It was served with rice pilaf, beans and tortillas, and was a lot of good food for just a nickel under ten bucks. There were enough high points in the meal that when I needed to schedule a meeting the very next day, we had lunch at Pepy’s. It was a Friday, the only day on which they serve clam chowder, so I started with that. It was a hit, with plenty of clams in a thick pepper and herbflecked broth, and I’d happily have it again. My companion, a transplanted Midwesterner, ordered the biscuits and gravy for which he is perennially homesick. This was unfortunately not a good version — the biscuits were doughy rather than flaky, and the gravy didn’t have enough of the sausage that peps up the dish. When we ordered, I had asked the server what the best
came with it were the standard frozen mix out of a bag — if I had this again I’d substitute a salad. Meals at Pepy’s are very inexpensive, with most entrees below $10, and they’re open long hours. This place has a devoted corps of regulars, and if you enjoy good coffee shop food in a classic, slightly kitschy atmosphere, you might even become another one. Read all the notices on the walls, tell them the spice level you like, and settle in for a meal in the atmosphere of an era gone by, with prices to match. If you need to work off all the calories, you could even go bowling afterward without losing your parking space. Pepy’s is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. No alcohol, children welcome, wheelchair access good, parking lot east of the bowling alley. Enter at the corner of Grandview and Venice. Menu posted online. §

A ‘Peach’-y good time Creating Arts Company stages familyfriendly production of a Roald Dahl classic By Michael Aushenker It’s time to revisit Earthworm, Miss Spider, Ladybug, the Old Green Grasshopper and Glowworm. Just in time for Halloween weekend, Creating Arts Company presents the Roald Dahl children’s literature favorite “James and the Giant Peach.” In Dahl’s odyssey, young James — raised by his mean, crooked aunts Spiker and Sponge after his parents were devoured by an escaped zoo rhinoceros — escapes his real-world problems with a cast of insect and arachnid critters after he accidentally drops a magic potion on a peach tree, causing it and its inhabitants to mutate. The 1961 first edition of Dahl’s book featured memorable illustrations by Nancy Ekholm Burkert that evoked E.H. Shepard’s refined illustrations for
A.A. Milne’s “Winnie-the-Pooh” series. An early work preceding Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by three years and “Fantastic Mr. Fox” by nearly a decade, “James and the Giant Peach” notably foreshadowed “Charlie” with allusions to Snozzwangers and Vermicious Knids from Loompahland. The titular, rather large fruit also rolls by “a famous chocolate factory.” During his lifetime, Dahl refused to let Hollywood adapt “James.” Later, Disney won over widow Liccy and a stop-motion animation and live-action hybrid by the same creative team behind Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” reached movie screens in 1996. The Creating Arts Company version draws directly from Dahl’s book. The troupe tells

their story without puppets but with audience interaction, visual projections and background music, said Creating Arts Company founder Shannon Sukoty. “James and the Giant Peach” shows from noon to 1 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 2 p.m. Sunday, with the schedule repeating Nov. 9 and 10, at Promenade Playhouse, 1404 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica.

It’s mimicking nature; pouring the paints. I think I’m not only looking through nature but processed imagery through technology.

Recalling the 1990s transformation of New York’s art district from grungy arts district to a trendy landscape marked by boutiques, Moses sees similar changes occurring in Venice. Gentrification aside, “I still think that Venice has a lot of character. You’ve got nature, the ocean, canals, incredible sunsets, Google and galleries and restaurants … and urban city near an ocean existence,” says Moses. “It’s nice to have a little bit of an edge.” Moses married painter Kelly Berg last year. In May, Moses contributed a painting to Venice Art Walk, as he does each year, while Berg did live painting for the Venice Family Clinic. “Our work is really different,” said Berg, who also works in the abstract but with a strong background in figurative and representational painting. “We like a lot of the same artists, but we might have different favorites.” Berg’s studio is next door to her father-in-law’s. “I really admire his work and find his process interesting,” Berg said. “He’s really supportive of my work, and he’ll come by my studio and talk about the work.” As for the shadow cast by his father’s career, Moses says such comparisons are old news. “There’s no avoiding it on some level, but it’s not something I dwell on at this point,” he says. Artist-to-artist conversations between father and son, however, are a plus. “I think he saw [life as an artist] as a difficult road,” Moses says of his father’s initial reluctance to encourage his art career. And, “yeah,” says Moses — the journey wasn’t an easy, but it has led to a very exciting time in his life. “It’s been one continuous process in a way,” he says. “I’m very much in the moment, but I also feel that I’m on the brink of some new things.” “Skin/Deep: Materiality, Sensuality and Paint” opens with a reception from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., at William Turner Gallery, Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., Suite E1, Santa Monica.

Singer Natalie Aley
Making old sounds new Natalie Aley + New Cycle filters 1970s genres through 21st-century trends By Michael Aushenker When Natalie Aley and New Cycle take the stage Wednesday at Witzend, expect an interesting reconfiguration of spare parts from the likes of Chic, Sister Sledge, ABBA and Blondie. “We want to take old sounds of ‘70s and ‘80s and blend them [using] new technology with new trends, like electronic music and dubstep,” said singer-songwriter Natalie Aley. “New things are just wellforgotten old things, and life goes in cycles.” Hence the moniker “New Cycle.” Aley has a deep background in musical theater. In Moscow she played the lead role in “We Will Rock You,” a musical based on the songs of Queen. After befriending Queen guitarist Brian May, Aley moved to Los Angeles five years ago to work on her career as a singersongwriter and record with various producers. Since then the owner of Conway Recording
Studios took Aley under his wing. Her current manager is Ann Marie Hamilton Wallace, a songwriter who collaborated on the 1975 hit “Fallin’ in Love,” sampled by rapper Drake in 2011’s “The Best I Ever Had.” Last year Aley and New Cycle released the album “LadiDadiDah,” including their single “Get Away.” After playing gigs around town at venues such as The Joint in West Los Angeles and Salvage Bar in downtown L.A., the band is currently working out material for a second album. A Witzend, “We are bringing upright bass, percussion set, guitar and piano,” said Aley, who will play piano and guitar, for “a show where acoustic meets electronic sound.” Natalie Aley & New Cycle performs at 9 p.m. Wednesday at Witzend, 1717 Lincoln Blvd., Venice.

To get to Lemmy, O’Reilly takes a storyteller’s path through free-association rambling and well-annotated asides. Exploring
verbal detours and taking talking tangents, he shared commentary on the Coen Brothers versus Italian horror directors (“‘The Big Lebowski’ is a classic, but Maria Bava is art!”), bashed Miley Cyrus, praised actor Warren Oates, exalted Antonio Marghareti’s science-fiction/ horror classic-in-reverse “Wild Wild Planet,” spoke of Oliver Cromwell and the connection between southwest Ireland and Jamaica, and professed his love for his former home Minneapolis. “The problem is I just love music— all kinds,” O’Reilly said. “We’re very tenacious, working on finding a unique
voice in the music landscape.” But in Surgeon Marta’s “yin and yang” identity struggle, “We have to keep the Lemmy-esque [showmanship] influence in there,” he said. O’Reilly and his band have already found believers at TRiP, where O’Reilly has tended bar. “Chane is an evil genius whose stage show never ceases to amaze me.

Entertainer’s Dream Home in North Kentwood
“Located on a large corner lot, this custom-built home presents casual elegance, a sophisticated aesthetic and quality living in a premier location,” says agent Stephanie Younger. “Originally built in 1948, the home was completely reconstructed in 1993, increasing the living space to more than 3,100 square feet. Thoughtfully designed with the entertainer in mind, the elegant living room flows into a formal dining room that can accommodate a sit down dinner for 24. The open kitchen has a Dacor gas cook-top, dual ovens and a breakfast bar overlooking a cozy family room. A second story master retreat boasts vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a roomy bath with a dressing area, and a bonus room and sunning balcony with views of the private backyard. Three more bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room complete the floor plan. Ideal for a car collector or garage aficionado, the home features an oversized attached garage, separate garage/workspace and gated RV parking. This inviting, must see home represents Westchester at its finest.”
The property is offered at $1,399,000. Information, Stephanie Younger, Teles Properties, (424) 203-1828.

Dinner with the “Rep-Dials” By Geoff Maleman The advocacy group Friends of the Ballona Wetlands honored Drollinger Family Charitable Foundation trustees Ken and Karen Dial during their 8th annual Moonlight on the Marsh event on Oct. 19 at the CenterPointe Club in Playa Vista. The foundation has given more than $35,000 to Friends of the Ballona Wetlands in support of its decades-long effort to defend and restore the area. The Drollinger and Dial families grew up in the area and spent much of their childhoods roaming the wetlands. Ken Dial, director of the flight laboratory at the University of Montana, said locals jokingly referred to his family as the “Rep-Dials” for the various lizards and other critters they caught. But those experiences also helped shape his career as a pilot doing research on avian flight, he said. “It was such a privilege and an honor to be recognized at this event,” said H. B. Drollinger Co. President Karen Dial, whose father developed many projects throughout the community. “We are proud of the work the Friends have done and look forward to the exciting wetlands restoration project that is being planned.”
Friends of the Ballona Wetlands Executive Director Lisa Fimiani, left, presents an award to Karen Dial during Moonlight on the Marsh.

’Round-the-world race boat lands in Marina del Rey An achievement in sailing research and design, the $6-million vessel is like a muscle car on the water
By Pat Reynolds To boaters, boats are not just boats. They’re a vehicle to places we aren’t designed to go, and for this we are forever grateful and always intrigued when we see something special. Up on stilts in a boatyard in Fiji Way in Marina del Rey sits such a specimen. She’s 60 feet long, 21 feet wide and oddly flat. There is no cabin, but two pods on either aft corner. A giant Hugo Boss logo on each side of the boat stretches below the waterline, indicating that when it sails it heels up high and the bottom of the boat is exposed. Among sailboats, this is a muscle car, a spaceship. A vessel built to carry a single person around the world non-stop — and as fast as possible.
Windward Boatyard is part of this fraternity. Though Thomson didn’t sail this boat in the Vendee, it did make the journey shortly after its 2007 birth, when it was known as Pindar. Thomson bought the boat in 2010 and made it more powerful. Under the direction of famed designer Juan Kouyoumdjian the boat’s redesign explored the limits of power with research and development on “righting-moment,” or torque that keeps a hull upright. Acting captain Will Palmer said the boat, after its retrofit, was actually a bit too much for one man to get the most out of it. “It’s the most powerful 60-foot monohull ever built,” said Palmer, who has sailed the boat all over the world with a four man crew. “It’s incredible to sail. It’s basically
— Will Palmer, captain of the Hugo Boss like riding a 60-foot surfboard.” Palmer said he and his crew have sailed at 30 knots, but he feels confident that with the right set-up, sail wardrobe and conditions the boat could reach 40. “It’s pretty nice offshore. It’s not for inshore,” he said. “I kind of liken it to an American muscle car: It goes in a straight line like nobody’s business, but trying to get it around a short course you’ll break your back.” But Palmer is a man about to lose a close friend. Having fulfilled the needs of its corporate sponsor, the boat is now going up for sale. It’s likely the boat will sell for a loss, considering the amount of work that went into creating it and the 2010 retrofit. But for the right buyer, it’s a gem. “The boat’s ready go, said Palmer. “It just needs someone who wants to break some records with it.” §
By Michael Aushenker It was one of the most dramatic upsets in sports history. It was also a game-changer in sailing technology. Veteran sailor Pete Melvin — one of the men behind those innovations, even as his team was on the wrong end of one of the most dramatic comebacks ever — lived to tell the tale as the featured speaker at Friday’s California Yacht Club gala dinner in Marina del Rey. Melvin and Gino Morelli helmed the Emirates Team New Zealand in last year’s America’s Cup 33, developing and building the first wing-powered foiling AC72 Catamaran — a vessel with a top speed near 50 knots. Early on, Emirates Team New Zealand had the race nearly sown up with the point scale tipped drastically in their favor, but billionaire Larry Ellison’s Oracle team came from behind to win the race with Melvin’s team was less than a minute away from the finish line. “Some people are calling it the greatest comeback in sports history. … All we had to do was one more race. However, the Oracle team, they got quite a bit faster over a short period,” said Melvin, a resident of Huntington Beach. “Initially, even when we were 8 to 1, we had a speed advantage on them. As the series went on, they got faster and faster. I guess none of us believed they would
win that many in a row initially. Doubt started to creep in our mind. Ultimately, it came down to the last day. … It was as dramatic an ending as you can script.” Despite defeat, there was on upside: Melvin and Morelli changed the sport. Working with 30 designers specializing in different areas, they introduced hydrofoiling to the race and pushed their specialized multi-hulled crafts into the global competitive sphere. The new class of catamarans they pioneered is “three to four times faster—not just a little bit,” Melvin said. “Now these boats are going 40 knots, almost 50 miles per hour. It’s a huge difference [from the 3 or 4 knot increments of years past].” The next Cup occurs four years from now in 2017, giving Melvin and Morelli time to prepare. Melvin feels confident their innovations will pay off. “The America’s Cup has always been that way ever since it started in the 1850s: You bring your best weapon to the match,” he said. The dinner, themed “America’s Cup Past and Present,” is at 6:15 p.m. on Friday at the California Yacht Club, 4469 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey. Tickets are $25.

Anyone might guess it’s expensive, and they’d be right. Some $6 million went into the design and build of this watercraft, an investment in creating the fastest and most durable 60-foot mono-hull on the planet. Owner Alex Thomson is a pro roundthe-world solo sailor of the International Monohull Open Classes Association, an elite group that fosters development of high-speed “open 60s.” The 39-year old Englishman is one of the more successful racers in the class and has a devoted and generous sponsor in Hugo Boss. Many of the racers in IMOCA struggle to fund their incredibly expensive campaigns, but the high profile apparel company has backed Thomson for many years and many boats. All of the boats in IMOCA are essentially made for one purpose — to sail in the Vendee Globe, a non-stop circumnavigation in some of the harshest ocean environments in the world. The vessel that now sits peacefully at
