Love the Beach? Vote Yes on W Re: “Collect, Clean, Store: Backers say parcel tax would tackle stormwater runoff” News, Oct. 18 As Santa Monica residents and directors at Heal the Bay, we commend the city for addressing chronic bacterial pollution at beaches near the iconic Santa Monica Pier. The just-opened Clean Beaches Project north of the pier will capture rainwater and daily runoff flowing near the downtown area and divert it to a 1.6-millon gallon cistern for later reuse. This proactive investment will pay dividends in improved water quality at our local shorelines for years to come. Similarly, kudos to the city and
county of Los Angeles, which have built several stormwater capture and cleansing projects on the Westside, such as the Oxford Basin project in Marina del Rey and an underground treatment facility at Venice’s Penmar Park. Voters in the upcoming election can also do their part to further reduce pollution in Santa Monica Bay and augment local water supplies by approving Measure W. The countywide initiative would provide $300 million to expand the network of stormwater capture projects, creating a lattice of green infrastructure throughout Greater Los Angeles. Besides curbing the flow of trash and bacteria, these projects will capture and reuse billions of gallons of water each year — enough to meet the needs of 2.5 million people, which is about a quarter of Los Angeles County. Even in the driest summer day, tens of millions of gallons of urban runoff flow into the bay. It’s crazy to keep sending usable water senselessly to the sea each day — especially in a time of drought. If you love our beaches, please join us in voting Yes
on Measure W in the November election. Matthew King and Meredith McCarthy Santa Monica

Measure W is Worth the Investment Re: “Collect, Clean, Store: Backers say parcel tax would tackle stormwater runoff” News, Oct. 18 I have been lucky enough to live near the beach, first in Santa Monica and now in Venice, for the past 39 years. When I run at the beach and body surf in the waves I think to myself: “Thousands of people travel thousands of miles and pay thousands of dollars to come here — and we get to live here!” And then the rains come, flushing billions of gallons of perfectly good water out to sea through the network of L.A. County storm drains, contaminating our ocean and depositing tons and tons of trash on our beautiful beaches.

Which Way, Santa Monica? Council candidates offer contrasting views on crime and homelessness
Scott Bellomo
Pam O’Connor
By Gary Walker Santa Monica voters have lots of choices for filling three city council seats up for grabs on Tuesday: stick with popular incumbents, opt for some fresh faces with established track records in civic affairs, change course with challengers who want to get tough on crime and the homeless, or any mix thereof. During an election forum on Oct. 16, the seven council candidates on the ballot sought to distinguish themselves through conflicting approaches to crime and homelessness, and also spent some time reflecting on whether the city could have better handled the proliferation of electric scooters. Make that seven candidates and one familiar gate-crasher. Perennial council candidate Jon Mann, who did not gather enough signatures to qualify for this year’s ballot, held up the start of the forum by claiming that he deserved to be on stage and the city’s power infrastructure was conspiring against him. “I’m a candidate for city council no matter what the city clerk says. I’m going to stay here until the police come,” Mann bellowed in the Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium of the Santa Monica Public Library before police arrived and asked him to leave the stage. Once Mann’s theatrics were over, challengers Scott Bellomo, Greg Morena, Geoffrey Neri and Ashley Powell and incumbents Kevin McKeown, Pam O’Connor and Sue Himmelrich took turns speaking about why they should be elected. From the outset, Neri and Bellomo struck hardline positions on homelessness and crime, frequently asserting that the two issues are inherently related. “I got into this race because my son and I were threatened by a deranged PAGE 8 THE ARGONAUT November 1, 2018

homeless man. I’ve felt for a long time that crime has not been a top priority for our city leaders,” Bellomo said. Neri enumerated public safety, the city’s homeless crisis and housing as his top three priorities. “My overriding concern is law and order. I think it’s wrong that those who are in office have allowed crime and homelessness to flourish,” asserted Neri, an attorney. “We have become victims of

Geoff Neri
“Homelessness is personal for me because one of my best friends from high school has been homeless for years,” he said. Some of the challengers sought to use incumbents’ records against them, but McKeown touted his 20 years of service on the council and emphasized his record on environmental causes and protecting renters’ rights. “After 20 years you get pretty good at
“We have become victims of our own tolerance in this city.” — Greg Neri
“I don’t think we should be criminalizing homelessness.” — Ashley Powell our own tolerance in this city.” Powell, a social worker who grew up in Santa Monica, offered an opposite approach. “I don’t think we should be criminalizing homelessness,” Powell said to applause. “I would recommend building emergency housing in some of the empty hangars [at Santa Monica Airport].” Morena, whose family owns The Albright seafood restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier, played up his lifelong ties to the community and his experience as a member of the city’s audit committee. “We are in need of fresh, new leadership and I feel that it is my time to lead,” Morena said. On the topic of homelessness, Morena said he has been involved with family reunification for two people.
doing a job, and I still love doing this one,” he said. “I know when to vote no on a bad project and when to say yes to a good project. I also I know how to work with others on the council, which is essential in order to run a successful city,” he said. O’Connor talked about the current council’s fiscal stewardship and its high bond rating. “I want to continue to make sure that Santa Monica remains a safe city and a city of well-being,” said O’Connor, who has served on the council for 24 years. On building more affordable housing, Himmelrich, O’Connor and McKeown suggested using city-owned parking lots. Each of the incumbents agreed that the city could have done a better job of addressing electric scooters after Bird
Ashley Powell
began deploying them downtown without any notice or precedent. “We were in charge and we did a terrible job with Bird,” Himmelrich said. Powell argued that scooters have a place in the future of local transportation and that technological change can lead to economic opportunity. “We should be embracing the gig economy,” she said. Himmelrich, who touts voting against a controversial large development and helping to enact new government oversight, argued that candidates for office should be judged by what they’ve done on the council or explain in detail how they would do things differently. “Talk is cheap. Look at what we say and what we do,” she said. “What we do and say is a reflection of what we’ll do on the council.” Two years ago a divisive ballot measure that would have restricted development was a focal point for city elections, but this year there’s no hot-button city initiative before voters. Measure TL, which would start the clock on a three-term limit for city council members (impacting incumbents in 2030), barley received mention. Santa Monica resident Dan Johansson, who wanted to hear more about term limits, said he wasn’t very impressed with the forum. He was hoping to see more interaction between candidates that would further drill down into contrasting ideologies. “They were too gentle on each other,” he said. “They were just putting out statements.” Visit smvote.org for official candidate statements and more information about Santa Monica elections. gary@argonautnews.com

The Argonaut’s Nov. 6 Election Endorsements Elec tion Los Angeles City Measure B: Municipal Bank 2 Left-leaning Westside neighborhoods are about as far as you can get from those swing districts getting so much national attention, but trust your local newsweekly that there’s plenty at stake on Tuesday to merit you casting a ballot. In particular, state and local ballot propositions offer the chance to support several very good ideas (Prop 10, Prop 12 and Measure W, especially) and oppose some particularly lousy ones (like Prop 5, Prop 8 and Measure B).
The L.A. City Council wants permission to start a public municipal bank, but they’ve offered absolutely no explanation of how they would do so, what it would cost, or the potential risks and rewards. What you don’t know can hurt you, and this would be a blank taxpayer check for civic misadventure. Vote No on B.
Measures E and EE: Timing of Local Elections
Governor of California
Before the June primary we hoped Gavin Newsom would wind up facing John Chiang, forcing substantive debate about how to keep the state fiscally sound while combatting the housing crisis and rampant economic inequalities. Instead, Newsom faces businessman John Cox, and they’ve only had one debate. Still, that was enough to see the merits of Newsom’s inclusive (though not incredibly detailed) vision for a more equitable future over Cox’s even less-detailed approach of dismantling government to let the chips fall where they may. Simply being angry about everything isn’t much of a strategy to govern — at least not in California, anyway. Vote for Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom
Congress, State and Local Offices
We stick by our primary election endorsements of Reps. Ted Lieu, Karen Bass and Maxine Waters, state Sen. Ben Allen, and state Assembly members Autumn Burke and Richard Bloom — incumbents who are serving their districts well and face opponents who’ve mounted little (if any) organized efforts to create competitive races. Vote for Lieu, Bass or Waters, Allen, and Burke or Bloom.

It’s not capture, clean and recycle it. County enough to solve the housing crisis, but parcel tax increase proposals are becoming too common in L.A.

The Argonaut’s Nov. 6 Election Endorsements (Continued from page 9) in need that will also alleviate at least some pressure on the housing market. Vote Yes on Prop 1.
Proposition 2: $2 Billion for Housing the Mentally Ill
Go for a walk in Venice and try to convince yourself (or some unfortunate soul conversing with invisible people) that mental illness and homelessness aren’t often related. You can’t address homelessness without considering mental health, and vice versa. Prop 2 sounds expensive but it doesn’t put any new burdens on taxpayers — just redirects some existing mental health funds toward long overdue supportive housing for those battling mental illness. Vote Yes on Prop 2.
Proposition 3: $8.9 Billion for Water Supply Projects
Local environmental advocacy organizations are refusing to support this expensive bond measure with little fiscal oversight. The environmental benefits aren’t worth the price tag, because this is essentially a sneaky plan to tax the whole state for regional projects specifically benefitting Central California agriculture interests. Vote No on Prop 3.
Proposition 4: $1.5 Billion for Children’s Hospitals
Medi-Cal reimbursements for hospitals serving kids from low-income families

(Continued from page 6)
For at least three days after a rainfall, this barrage of trash and toxins makes getting in the ocean a serious threat to human health, to say nothing of harming the helpless creatures that live out there. As much as 80% of the trash flowing to the ocean and ending up on the beach comes through L.A.’s storm drains, and this has been going on for decades. It’s enough to make you cry — if it doesn’t give you pinkeye and a nasty ear infection first. Measure W is a chance to address this problem with an opportunity to capture 100 billion gallons of water annually that can be reused as a local source of water and won’t be carrying pollutants out into our beautiful ocean. As a homeowner, I recognize the burden of one more tax. But for less than the price of two pumpkin spice lattes per month, Measure W would make serious and tangible improvements to our environment for generations to come. For yourself, your children, their children and all the creatures in the ocean, please vote Yes on Measure W. Ian Kimbrey Venice
simply aren’t enough to fund safetyoriented facilities improvements at children’s hospitals in Los Angeles and throughout the state. There should be a better funding mechanism for facilities that save kids’ lives, but that’s no reason to punish the kids. Vote Yes on Prop 4.
Proposition 5: Unlimited Property Tax Transfers for Seniors
Real estate interests are pitching this amendment to Prop 13 as a lifeline for seniors, but the law already lets seniors downsize without tax penalties. This is basically a tax-dodging scheme for millionaires who want to upgrade to luxury housing. Grandma doesn’t need five bedrooms at the expense of public schools. Vote No on Prop 5.
Proposition 6: Gas Tax Repeal
Nobody wants to pay more at the pump, but taxing gasoline is the fairest way to fund necessary roadway improvements because those who drive less use roads less often and should pay less than heavy users. Neglecting repairs to highways and bridges only costs taxpayers more in the long run, one way or another. And repealing the gas tax would reverse $965 million for projects in Los Angeles County alone, from major infrastructure repairs to new left turn signals at Venice
Prop 10 Math Doesn’t Add Up Re: “Fight for Fairness: Prop 10 would open door for local gov’ts to enact rent control laws,” News, Oct. 18 Numerous organizations and many of Los Angeles’ political leaders are lobbying for Proposition 10 by selling the story that instituting rent control will make apartments affordable while not impacting the ability of rental property owners to earn a fair return on their investment. They imply that apartment owners are making unjustifiable big profits. I dispute that claim. When given the right opportunity, I often ask people the question, “Do owners of apartment buildings make lots of money?” The answer I invariably get from non-owners is a strong affirmative “yes” that implies owning rental property is like printing money. If I then ask, “If owning an apartment building is so profitable, why haven’t you bought one?” The answer I nearly always get is “I could never deal with tenants,” or “I don’t want to get calls about stuffed-up toilets during nights and weekends.” These are not atypical responses. Owning an apartment may make you money, but the profits under rent control are not high enough for most people to

Boulevard and Centinela Avenue, Culver and Inglewood boulevards, and Washington Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. Vote No on Prop 6.
Proposition 7: Stop Messing with the Clock
There are a lot more important things to worry about right now than whether to make daylight savings time permanent, and without approvals from both the state Legislature and Congress, this measure won’t change anything. However, the question is worth asking down the road. Vote Yes on Prop 7.
Proposition 8: Regulation of Dialysis Clinic Charges
On its face this measure claims to limit dialysis center revenues (not profits) to promote higher per-patient spending, but it’s really a union-backed measure designed to punish non-union clinics — possibly forcing clinic closures that would increase patient costs or reduce access to care. Rather than set a higher bar, it gambles with people’s lives. Vote No on Prop 8.

Proposition 11: Paramedic Work Breaks Paramedics and EMTs who work for private ambulance companies should definitely be allowed to take meal and rest breaks, but this common-sense measure would require they remain on call in case of emergency. Medical service is an important calling, and in life-or-death situations a sandwich can wait. Vote Yes on Prop 11.
Proposition 12: Cage-Free Farming
The Costa-Hawkins Act of 1995 keeps Los Angeles from applying local rent control or rent stabilization ordinances to apartments built after 1978, and every municipality in the state faces similar restrictions. Prop 10 would repeal
The Humane Society says Prop 12, which sets specific standards for the sizes of animal enclosures, will improve living conditions for farm animals by alleviating extreme confinement. PETA says Prop 12’s standards aren’t high enough and will promote fictions about “ethical eggs” and happy farm animals. We say that any improvement is a step in the right direction. These would be substantial gains for animal welfare, so don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Vote Yes on Prop 12.
take on the headaches and financial risks. Earning a profit from rental properties involves a lot more than what the rent control proponents consider when computing the “fair” return they cite as being required by law. If the community wants additional
investment in multifamily housing, they must either reduce the risks or increase the potential for profits — something the politicians are reluctant to do for obvious reasons. Proposition 10 seeks to grant politicians and new bureaucracies the power to restrict earnings on residential

Should it pass, just the threat of what government might do is going to drive people away from investing in the additional residential living units needed to address the housing crisis. Michael Ernstoff Mar Vista A TV Watcher’s Voting Guide Re: The relentless onslaught of television ads about state ballot propositions I think I’ve figured out how to vote on the propositions on the November ballot. I came to my conclusions using two distinctly different methods. First, by carefully reading the pros and cons and examining who contributed to which propositions. Second, by watching the political ads on television, which can actually tell you what you need to know. Why TV ads? Because ever since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision made corporations people, television political ads have degenerated into the biggest bag of lies you could ever imagine. Watch the ads and study who is behind them: that tenth of a second flash on the screen at the end. (But be careful, as powerful corporations often hide behind disguised, concerned sounding names that suggest they actually care about something other than money.)
Yup! All you have to do is watch those TV ads. Whenever you see the same ads over and over, night after night, on the network TV stations — especially vicious attack ads hammering away at something on the ballot — all you need to do is to do exactly the opposite of what they are saying. It is a safe bet you are doing the right thing, especially when you notice they completely change the cast of concerned actors each week saying essentially the same thing. Those expensive TV ads repeated night after night, hour after hour, call to mind a trick Donald Trump has honed to perfection. You repeat a lie over and over until the lie seems to become the reality. It’s a sad state of affairs, but that seems to be where Citizens United has brought us all. J. R. Ball Inglewood

The Youth Vote Local teens and twentysomethings explain why they’re casting a ballot on Tuesday I n t e rv i e ws c o n d u ct e d by G a ry Wa l k e r a n d C h r i st i n a Ca m p o d o n i c o
Marketing and political campaigns are obsessed with reaching young audiences for good reason: demographic power. Young adults born between 1981 and 1996 (aka millennials) are expected to outnumber baby boomers next year, and the oldest members of Gen Z are already in their twenties. Whether you’re selling cars or running for Congress, the long-coveted 18-35 demo has become mission critical. But if young people have taught their elders anything, it’s the folly of assuming people in any particular group will think, feel or act exactly alike. With national media obsessing over whether the youth vote will affect the balance of power in Washington, we asked politically engaged local young people about what’s motivating them to vote in the Nov. 6 election — particularly state and local issues, as the left-leaning Westside is about as far as you can get from a congressional swing district. This isn’t a scientific poll, so we don’t intended to suggest young people will turn out in greater numbers than before, as many pundits anticipate, or to suggest how they identify politically. (We avoided contacting groups directly associated with political parties, but a young Republican seems to be a rare find west of the 405.) We hope that by allowing these young voters to express themselves in their own words and be seen through their own self-portraits (some cringed when we called them “selfies”), people of all ages might be inspired to participate in our democratic process come Tuesday.
Joseph Cruz, 19
West Los Angeles College student Proposition 10, which would allow cities to expand rent controls, “that’s the one that sticks out to me the most. Much of the older generation own properties as assets to make a profit off of renters, while the vast majority of the younger generation don’t own properties because properties nowadays are too expensive to invest in compared to back then. So we are stuck renting apartments, studios, etc. from landowners in order to have a roof over our head. … I am really trying to convince my friends and family members to vote because our vote, the youth vote, really does matter, despite what most young adults claim.” PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT November 1, 2018

It’s also very good for the environment.” On supporting Proposition 10, “As students many of us can’t afford to live in certain places, and many of us are worried about being able to buy a home someday. Prop. 10 would give people in my generation a chance to be able to live where we want.”

When I was in high school I never really paid attention to local issues, and the school talked a lot more about things like blood drives than registering to vote. … A lot of my friends who are working are still living at home because of the high rents, so Proposition 10 interests me, but I’m going to do my research about it first. … It’s tough nowadays to live on your own unless you’re making a really large salary. It’s what almost all of my friends are talking about.”

Culver City High Debate Team captain; Culver-Palms YMCA Youth and Government Program member “I think that voting is a fundamental part of being independent. Of course, it’s important to be civically engaged and to research your candidates, but I also think voting is going to have a unique personal impact on me. I’ve had a lot of people tell me that your vote doesn’t really matter, that your vote won’t make a difference in California. I think for me, voting is going to have an impact on my outlook on the world. Sure, one vote is not necessarily going to make a big difference … but I think it will definitely fuel my drive to be an independent thinker and to feel that I’m making important decisions. And frankly the thought of me not voting in 2018 is incomprehensible.”

I respect him on climate change. What he did when [news of separated] children at the border in Texas broke, when he stood up and played a recording of what that sounded like, it was just so inspiring to watch. And that’s something I want to see in the congressman representing me. That’s why I want to vote for him again.”

Venice High alum; Venice Resistance voter registration volunteer “I feel it’s my civic duty as a person living in this country. I understand that I can’t complain about the people in power if I’m not physically out there doing something to change who’s in power. There are big issues concerning youth specifically, and we need to make sure that the people in power understand that they need to help us out. Mainly the whole housing issue... That’s why I don’t live in Venice anymore, because rent got high. All my friends who grew up here but can’t afford to pay the high rents are having to move, and that really sucks because you’re taking the community away. ... That makes me sad and a little bit frustrated.”
Sarah Wexler, 26
Web producer for Major League Baseball; Westchester High graduate “When it comes to state issues, I’m particularly interested in the propositions related to housing: 1, 2, and especially 10. California’s current housing situation is untenable, with affordable housing in major metropolitan areas becoming increasingly hard to come by. That’s really going to affect people around my age and younger. Affordable housing should be a human right, as far as I’m concerned. ... I’d be voting anyway, but the unrelenting attack on democracy being waged by the Republican Party by kowtowing to Trump’s totalitarian agenda and embracing oppressive ideology certainly motivates me to make my voice heard. … There’s definitely interest in voting among my peers. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts on social media encouraging people to make sure they’re registered.”
Alden Lundy, 20
Undergraduate research assistant at LMU’s Center for the Study of Los Angeles “I’m also excited to support Ted Lieu. Ted Lieu’s record on introducing bipartisan legislation, as well as being environmentally conscious in the decisions he’s made, have really made me respect him. And he’s also in the last couple years really taken an action against corruption that he’s seen since he got his seat. … What he’s doing is important. I think being critical of what’s happening in your government is an important part of the democratic process.”

It’s historicized my duty. … Being an African-American woman, I exist with this very real understanding of people who came before me, fighting, giving their lives and putting their bodies in harm’s way so that people who looked like me, people who identified like me, could cast a ballot. It would be such a huge historical shame and erasure if I didn’t vote just because I’m feeling disillusioned, or I’m feeling despair. It’s very much a civic duty, a historical duty.”

When the results came in it was like, ‘Oh, damn, did my voice really count?’ But I really do believe everyone should vote. I have a lot of friends who say, ‘Oh, it doesn’t really matter. We’re not the Electoral College.’ But if you really think about it, if you have enough people, it’s really going to make a difference.

There’s too much at stake not to be: the environment, Social Security, Medicaid, gun reform, the Russia investigation; the list goes on and on. I’m unhappy with plenty of Democratic representatives, but I’m even more unhappy with the sentiment seething out of the Oval Office, casting a dark shadow upon our nation. There needs to be a roadblock. In ordinary circumstances I wouldn’t align myself with a particular party, but these circumstances are anything but. I’m more than ready for a blue wave this November.”

“Right now anger is our friend, not something we should shy away from. We must allow ourselves to think about the lives lost to gun violence, children who were held in cages, and every life that has been treated as less than human. It is them we have to fight for. As an 18-year-old, being able to vote is an honor that I cannot wait to take advantage of. … If you are not planning on voting this coming November, I ask you to think about those who are scared to exist in this country. You can either use that power to make a difference or you can sit back and allow injustice after injustice.”

Loyola Marymount University student “I’m voting because I think the youth voice needs to be heard, especially because we have so many adult voters and our generation feels like we don’t get heard as much. We definitely need to get our voices out there. … This past election there were a lot of adult voters and the younger vote was not being heard, especially because a lot of us hadn’t turned 18 yet. … So now that we can vote on the little things that matter, when the 2020 election comes around, we can definitely get our voices out there.”

A scene from ‘Johnny Got His Gun’
A Different G.I. Joe
Tim Robbins directs a timely Actors’ Gang revival of Dalton Trumbo’s ‘Johnny Got His Gun’
By Bliss Bowen If you listen closely, past careful government doublespeak and the daily cascade of “unprecedented” political tumult, you can hear them: drumbeats. A low rumble still, but they’re pounded out behind statements officials parcel out regarding shifted budget priorities, military exercises and rescinded agreements, and in news reports of potential troop privatization. They’re part of the reason Actors’ Gang artistic director Tim Robbins chose to stage Bradley Rand Smith’s adaptation of Dalton Trumbo’s “Johnny Got His Gun,” which opened the company’s 2018-19 season in October and runs through Nov. 10. The company was already workshopping Jean Giraudoux’s anti-authoritarian “The Madwoman of Chaillot” when Robbins decided to direct Trumbo’s anti-war classic instead. (“Madwoman” is being rescheduled later in the season.) He says it just made more sense. “I feel it’s the right thing to be doing, particularly at this moment in our history,” explains the Oscar-winning actor, who co-founded The Actors’ Gang in 1981. “They’re starting to float the propaganda… propaganda for an aggressive intervention or invasion of a sovereign country; you fill in the blank what it is or what it will be, but all indications at this point seem to be Iran.” Kitchen
utensils clatter in the background as he makes breakfast while discoursing knowledgeably, albeit wearily, about the epic failure of elected representatives and corporate media to present obstacles to war, and the expanding refugee crisis that was seeded by the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Dalton’s controversial 1939 novel, which won a National Book Award for Most Original Book, was similarly disenchanted
posthumously received an Oscar) and “Lonely Are the Brave,” which were renowned for their intelligence and wit. But his prose for “Johnny Got His Gun” emulates Bonham’s stream of consciousness with minimal punctuation. “If he could only think of real things he would destroy this dream of having no legs. … [But] it was the truth. That was why his head had seemed lower than his
“They do not want you looking at Joe Bonham if they’re trying to convince you to support their war. … So that’s why we’re putting him up on stage.” — Tim Robbins with the political cynicism and profiteering surrounding war. Set in the aftermath of World War I, “Johnny Got His Gun” takes place in the mind of a soldier, a literal average Joe from Colorado named Joe Bonham, who has lost his limbs and face along with his ability to hear, see or speak; he communicates by banging out Morse code with his head. Dalton, one of the legendary blacklisted Hollywood Ten, penned screenplays for films like “Roman Holiday” (for which he
legs. Because he had no legs. Naturally they seemed light. Air is light too. Even a toenail is heavy compared to air. Dalton scripted and directed a 1971 film adaptation of “Johnny Got His Gun” starring Timothy Bottoms; unfortunately, its intentions are worthier than the film itself (which is easily found on YouTube). But the book has regained cultural currency in the wake of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as waves of overextended military personnel have returned
home with amputated limbs, severe PTSD, and ruptured faith in politics and religion. Certain passages still jolt, such as this one that Robbins says is incorporated into Bradley Rand Smith’s adaptation. “Somebody said let’s go out and fight for liberty and so they went and got killed without ever once thinking about liberty. And what kind of liberty were they fighting for anyway? How much liberty and whose idea of liberty? … They were always fighting for something the bastards and if anyone dared say the hell with fighting it’s all the same each war is like the other and nobody gets any good out of it why they hollered coward. If they weren’t fighting for liberty they were fighting for independence or democracy or freedom or decency or honor or their native land or something else that didn’t mean anything. The war was to make the world safe for democracy for the little countries for everybody. If the war was over now then the world must be all safe for democracy. Was it? And what kind of democracy? And how much? And whose?” “When most people hear about ‘Johnny Got His Gun,’” Robbins says, “they think about what the result of the war was for Joe Bonham. In other words, they think of the injured soldier. But what makes the book so beautiful for me is this betrayal of (Continued on page 16)

the young man that’s alive and passionate and in love and full of humor and life. That’s where the piece lives — in its vitality.” Celebrating that humanity is key to The Actors’ Gang production. Nathan Woodworth stars as Joe Bonham, in a cast that also features Pierre Adeli, Mela Green, Scott Harris, Kaili Hollister, Mary Eileen O’Donnell, Luis Quintant, Tess Vidal and Andrea Monte Warren. Robbins acknowledges that telling the story through the character of Joe Bonham “seems impossible, conceptually” — but that’s part of its attraction. “The adaptation that Bradley wrote is a one-man show that Jeff Daniels did Off-Broadway in ’82,” he says. “When I read it, I read a choral piece. So in that the play is set inside Joe’s mind, it can be many voices. It can be the voice of the mother, it can be the voice of the one he loves, it can be the voice of his father, it can be the voice of authority. It can be the voice of passion, of fear, of propaganda. It can be the voice of liberation. … “The actors, the technicians, the stage management and crew, we’re all just so in love with the words that we have been blessed to say. It’s something relevant to now, but it’s also about all of our desires and our disappointments and our ability to overcome obstacles and live and love and embrace life. That’s what’s at the core of this story.” Smith, says Robbins, “really captured the poetry” in Trumbo’s exquisite writing, and channels Trumbo’s insight into “the intricacies of human nature.” The
beauty and occasional humor of that language balances the terror of Joe Bonham’s situation, explains Robbins: “There are thousands of people that are hidden away, that are forgotten, that because of medical science survived a horrendous injury but live in a forced anonymity. As Joe Bonham says, ‘Next time they start talking or debating about war, why don’t you bring me in a traveling exhibit in front of the deliberative bodies that are talking about war and say: ‘This is what we are talking about. Do you approve this, do you vote this?’ Show me to people, because I am the result of war.’ It’s no accident that we don’t see these people. It’s no accident that we didn’t see coffins returning home from this war as we did in Vietnam. Imagery is super important, and they know it. And they do not want you looking at Joe Bonham if they’re trying to convince you to support their war. “So that’s why we’re putting him up on stage,” he continues. “It’s kind of our job to fill in the gap when government and media fail. It’s like we do with our educational programs and our prison project. It’s the same thing; we’re there to speak and serve a community that is forgotten, or is ignored.” “Johnny Got His Gun” plays at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday through Nov. 10 at The Actors’ Gang, 9070 Venice Blvd., Culver City; a Sunday matinee happens at 2 p.m. on Nov. 4.

Not Just a Pretty Patio Anymore The iconic Wilshire gets a menu makeover, thanks to chef Brendan Collins Photo courtesy of wilshire
Wilshire’s outdoor patio is still keeping it classy, but with a new chef and menu at the helm
By Audrey Cleo Yap Wilshire
2545 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica (310) 586-1701 wilshirerestaurant.com Growing up in Nottingham, England, Brendan Collins knew the warmth and homeyness of local pubs well. And while he was working at a two-star Michelin restaurant by age 17, he didn’t soon forget the importance of that pub-inspired hospitality. “I think people have forgotten what real hospitality is. It’s bringing people to a restaurant where they actually feel welcome, you know?” said Collins, tattoos peeking out from under his short-sleeved shirt, a nod to the laidback “lad” attitude he’s known for. “You’d be surprised at how many restaurants you go to where you don’t feel welcome.” He has brought that same grounded sensibility and culinary style to Santa Monica’s Wilshire since the end of last year, when Collins took over as executive chef. The long-standing fine dining staple is known for its outdoor patio, making it a popular
option for private events and functions. Collins was in the process of closing Birch, his British-inspired outpost in Hollywood, when he took the helm at Wilshire, scratching an itch to get back to the Westside where
punch with pomegranate; the jumbo lump crab donut comes on an actual donut. Other standouts include a savory chicken liver pâté served over huckleberries, an echo of a popular dish from Collins’s previous Culver City venture,
“I think people have forgotten what real hospitality is. It’s bringing people to a restaurant where they actually feel welcome.” — Chef Brendan Collins he had been earlier in his career (he spent four years at Mélisse). “[Wilshire] is an iconic space. It’s been around forever, and it deserved better than what it had for the last five or six years,” said Collins. To get its menu out of what Collin calls a “salmon, chicken, beef” rut, Collins and chef de cuisine Weston Ludeke have added a variety of seasonally driven fare, ranging from the deliciously quirky to familiar. A hamachi crudo gets a fruity
Waterloo & City; Collins says patrons should feel free to quote the famous Val Kilmer line from “Tombstone” when ordering it. The newly added patatas bravas are a well-seasoned spin on the Spanish staple. Perhaps no surprise to diners on the Westside, veggie dishes, like the cauliflower schwarma, (zaatar yogurt, avocado-cilantro puree) are fan favorites. “Cauliflower sells like crazy, (Continued on page 18)

brussels sprouts sell like crazy, which is a kind of annoying, but I guess it’s f--king California and Los Angeles,” said Collins with a laugh. For dessert, the Sicilian cannoli is a deconstructed, sweet and fruity coda. And for those imbibing, the drinks menu will not disappoint, with a well-stocked wine list and clever concoctions like the Chai Tai, a rum, lime juice and cinnamon mix ideal for ocean-infused 68-degree fall weather. Collins first fell in love with food at age 11; home sick from school, he remembered watching episodes of a TV show centered on chef Anton Mosimann traveling the world, eating and cooking. By age 17, Collins had finished culinary school and started his first job at La Gavroche, a two-star Michelin restaurant, in London. He made his way to Los Angeles in 2002 as part of a wave of newbie chefs looking to energize the city’s dining scene. “We laid the ground rules for what is now one of the best restaurant scenes in the country. I feel proud that I was part of that and continue to be a part of that,” said Collins. And it’s a tradition he plans to carry on from the Westside at Wilshire, no matter how many hot shot East Coasters set up shop elsewhere in the city.

The chef’s kitchen is complete with a Viking stove, SubZero refrigerator, and additional wine fridge. The waterfall edge island is a focal point to the kitchen that spills onto the outdoor deck, and delivers space and tree top views at every turn. The main floor also consists of the master bedroom with spa-like bath, featuring Carrera marble counter tops, while two additional bedrooms and baths complete the floor. The fourth bedroom is located on the first floor with a full bath, and direct access to the three-bay garage. Located off Millennium Drive across from IMAX, this unit is Playa Vista at its best, and should not be missed.”

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A What do real estate related propositions included in this November’s voter ballot really mean for me personally? I want to give a refresher on the issues behind Proposition 5. If you have been reading my column for a while, this is not a new topic, but with this measure officially on the ballot and your vote only a few days away, let’s look at it again.

CalChamber Advocacy reports that this anticipated “moving penalty” is the cause of almost “Prop 13” is the beloved California tax 75% of homeowners over the age of 55 break for homeowners, allowing you to having not moved since the year 2000!! keep your property taxes low, based on These homes, often bought long ago at the value at time of purchase, only rising much lower prices, are not re-entering the up to 2% per year, regardless of dramatic housing market, and are not available for increases in value. There are some the many new buyers who hope to acquire exceptions to this, including reassessments their first home. Homes are simply not for remodel, partial transfers, and ballot turning over, and the shortage in inventory measures that add to your property tax bill. creates a spike in prices and rents, making However, with a generally stable property the American dream of homeownership tax bill, you don’t have to worry about your even harder to attain. home’s appreciation causing tax increases that prevent affording your own home.

Proposition 90 extended that Many seniors can’t afford the “moving PAGE 22 At Home – THE ARGONAUT’s Real Estate Section November 1, 2018
protection to properties bought and sold in participating counties, including Los Angeles. Proposition 5, if passed, would permit seniors and disabled homeowners to transfer their existing Prop 13 assessed values to new homes anywhere within California, and as often as they choose. It also provides a new form of blended assessments, allowing for the possibility of buying either a more expensive or less expensive home than the one being sold. Here’s a summary from Jeff Collins, OC Register: “Say a couple owned a home for 30 years and its current assessed value is $75,000, meaning they pay $750 in annual property taxes. They sell the home for $600,000 and buy a new one for $700,000. Their new tax assessment would be $75,000 plus $100,000 (the difference between the old home’s sales price and the new home’s sales price). Their new property tax would be $1,750. Say the same couple sold their old home for $600,000, then paid $500,000 for a condo. Since the condo’s price is 83
percent of the old home’s sales price, the new assessment would be 83 percent of the old, or $62,500. Their new property tax would be $625.” This Proposition is important, not just to seniors who would be finally given the freedom to choose whether to stay in place or move, but to potential new homebuyers desperate for relief from the low housing inventory and high prices in the current market. Its passing is anticipated to have the effect of not only increasing the quality of life for senior homeowners, but positively impacting California’s economy and real estate markets. Whichever side you favor, show up to vote! This week’s quesTion was answered by

The DMV meets beach bungalow vibes at Red Bull’s semi-secret influencer hang on Abbot Kinney Boulevard By Audrey Cleo Yap As a neighborhood, Venice is well-known as the intersection of art and commerce, thanks to retail-heavy hubs like Abbot Kinney. But as the birthplace of modern skateboarding and breeding ground for action sports, athletic DNA is as endemic to Dogtown as energy healing and green juice. So it’s no surprise, then, that beverage brand and media house Red Bull has been combining the best of what Venice has to offer in a 975-square foot pop-up space at 1306 Abbot Kinney Boulevard dubbed the Red Bull ConsuLAte. Equal parts media hub, event space and athletes’ hang-out, the ConsuLAte is a brick-and-mortar experience the brand conceived to take advantage of its presence in Southern California. Since its launch in September, it has played host to a number of exclusive events including a showcase of 1980s skateboarding photography by Venice Beach’s Josh “Bagel” Klassman, Blacklist TV and film lab workshops for women writers (co-hosted by Women in Film), Meditation
Monday with local energy healer Hayley Rose, and a tailgate gathering for a Clippers game with a live art show by L.A artist Michael Farhat (@ArtMobb) inspired by the team. The space is not open to the public, but is emblematic of brands’ interest in creating pop-up experiences, joining entities like the somewhat mysterious Microsoft Lounge and music community hub Winston House as another exclusive, if temporary, center for creatives, influencers and notables to gather on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. (Red Bull North America has offices in Santa Monica.) It’s also a stopover for the brand’s sponsored athletes, like big mountain free skier Michelle Parker, who flew in from Lake Tahoe to meet with press and host an event with the local chapter of W.I.S.E. (Women in Sports and Events). “I’m pretty psyched on it. I think, initially, it was created as a space for the athletes to come together, and whenever they’re in town, to come over and hang out in this beautiful space, grab a
surfboard or bike,” said Parker, 31. “It’s been a really amazing tool, I think, for them and for their athletes to engage people. Hopefully, they continue it.” From the outside, the space would hardly catch the eye of the casual Abbot Kinney pedestrian: blinds are usually drawn, and in the off-chance that you do sneak a peek at the front lobby, you would likely mistake it for the DMV with its row of service windows and retractable line dividers. The giveaway? A wall that at a regular government office might feature the headshots of the mayor or employees of the month — this one, instead, features pictures of athletes like Lindsey Vonn and Jared Goff. It’s a quirky introduction to the otherwise quaint, bohemian beach-styled shingle — complete with, yes, a surfboard rack — that was previously a pop-up lingerie store. The Red Bull ConsuLAte is set to close up shop on Nov. 3. But for now, this marriage of art and athleticism seems to have found a perfect home — in Venice, they always go hand in hand.
