L e t t e r s City’s New Trash Policy Stinks We were quite happy with the company who picked up our trash at the Laguna del Rey apartments. Unfortunately, L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin and Mayor Eric Garcetti were not. The result is the perfect storm: poor service at double the cost. The reasons given for the changes were the usual soft and spongy words: “You will enjoy the opportunity to recycle” (we have been recycling for the last

five years); predictable and protected rates (our rates have doubled); “removal of graffiti from your bins” (what?); and “less truck traffic in your neighborhood” (could have been accomplished in a different way). The sad part of this policy is that the “greedy landlord” won’t suffer. Costs of this type are instead passed on to tenants. To me, this may be a sign of what can often emanate from City Hall — edicts which

make no sense, are inefficient, and cost all of us unnecessary expense.

aggressive Tesla driver cut me off, only to find himself waiting at the same traffic light with me minutes later. I believe that this danger is caused by the reduction of Venice to two lanes of vehicle traffic, and by the difficulty of parking between the traffic lanes and the newly separated bike lane. Bikers are still subject to car doors being opened as they ride by; now drivers are also put at more risk. I support those who are asking that Venice Boulevard be restored to the fine, drivable street it used to be. Let the bikers take more quiet streets, like Palms, that also connect Sepulveda, Lincoln and Venice boulevards. Down with Mike Bonin’s street configuration changes. He’s no engineer or traffic safety expert. Many of us are no longer doing business on Venice Boulevard. Maybe Bonin will approve more high-rises to replace the small businesses and add more traffic to his two-lane road. Lynne Shapiro Marina del Rey

FROM THE WEB: Re: “Venice’s Homeless Could Get Restrooms,” News, Oct. 5 Third Street by Rose Avenue is clean for the first time in three years. Things are actually finally

improving in our neighborhood because the LAPD and city sanitation workers are finally being allowed to do their jobs. By providing bathrooms on Third Street you would simply draw the homeless back to the area and negate all of the progress that has been made. It would be one huge giant step backwards. Re-open the beach bathrooms at night rather than building new ones adjacent to residentialneighborhoods,unless of course Mike Bonin is willing to build a bathroom on his neighborhood block. James If you open the beach bathrooms at night it is imperative to have attendants (with police radio backup) maintaining them. Otherwise, the bathrooms will become magnets for crime. Also, the doors need to be updated to prevent the noisy slamming that occurs. Remember these bathrooms front hundreds of homes where residents are sleeping. It will be tricky. Brad Neal One thing you can count on: For all their supposed disgust with dirty streets, Venice’s NIMBYs never seem to tire of all their own pissing — over any and all proposed solutions.

LMU Sophomore Found Dead in Redondo Beach

A Boon for Santa Monica Bay

Bianca Red Arrow, 19, studied politics while acting in film and television

Bianca Red Arrow “would light up any room she walked into,” her sorority sisters said

Police discovered Red Arrow’s body at around noon in the room of a hotel on Marina Avenue after receiving a welfare check call about a hotel guest. Why Red Arrow was at the hotel is not known, and “events leading up to her death are under investigation,” said Redondo Beach Police Sgt. Michael Martinez. “The cause of death is still under investigation,” said Rudy Molano of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. Red Arrow, a native of North Carolina, was majoring in political science while pursuing a minor in theatre arts. Last year she appeared in an episode of the HBO comedy series “Vice Principals” and had acted in an independent film and TV movie. She was also an active member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, according to an open letter by LMU President Timothy Law Snyder announcing a campus vigil in her memory. “Bianca was the kind of person who would light up any room she walked into. She was full of so much infectious love and joy,” reads a statement posted to Instagram by her sorority sisters. “We have no words to describe this tremendous loss.”

Coastal Research Institute will be a force multiplier for ecological restoration efforts Loyola Marymount University and environmental restoration nonprofit The Bay Foundation have jointly formed the Coastal Research Institute, a collaboration that will bring science and engineering students out of the classroom to help solve local coastal resource management problems. The partnership not only expands student access to hands-on restoration work in the LAX Dunes, Santa Monica Bay kelp forests and quite likely the Ballona Wetlands, but also gives The Bay Foundation more boots on the ground to accelerate implementation of the Santa Monica Bay National Estuary Program. “It’s a fantastic marriage of what we attempt to do as a foundation and what LMU strives to do for its students,” said foundation Executive Director Tom Ford, who will co-manage the Coastal Resource Institute with LMU Environmental Science Program Director James Landry.

Party Bus Shooting Suspects Still at Large Hail of bullets near Santa Monica Pier killed the mother of a 2-year-old girl Santa Monica police continue to search for multiple gunmen who fatally shot one person and injured three others last weekend after a dispute between passengers of two different party buses near the Santa Monica Pier. According to an SMPD bulletin, a group exiting a bus on Ocean and Colorado avenues got into an argument with several people exiting a different bus parked on Ocean just before 1 a.m. Saturday. Not long after the argument, several occupants of the second bus fired multiple shots into the first bus, striking three people on board and a fourth person nearby. The suspects, described as African-American males, fled on foot through Palisades Park toward Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica Police Lt. Saul Rodriguez said. The driver of the first bus drove it to the Santa Monica Police station, where paramedics transported the PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT November 9, 2017

shooting victims to a local hospital. Compton resident De`Ommie De La Cruz, the 28-year-old mother of a 2-year-old girl, died at the hospital from gunshot wounds. Two other victims remained hospitalized over the weekend in stable condition. Santa Monica officials referred questions about city regulations and policies regarding party buses to a statement by Mayor Ted Winterer. “We are deeply saddened by the senseless loss of life. Our community safety is of utmost importance and we urge anyone who has information about the incidents to contact the Santa Monica Police Department,” Winterer said. Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call Det. Derek Leone (310-4588949), Det. B. Cooper (310-4588478) or department headquarters (310-458-8495). — Gary Walker

foundation’s Santa Monica Beach Pilot Restoration Project, an attempt to bring back a native vegetation community on two acres of urban beach, are simultaneously conducting research on solutions to coastal flooding, sea level rise and carbon sequestration. The anticipated state-managed restoration of the Ballona Wetlands, of which The Bay Foundation is a partner agency, “will no doubt be a central player” in Coastal Research Institute activities, Ford said. “Of all the systems impacted by the rise of modern day Los Angeles, our beaches, wetlands and dunes are probably the most greatly impacted,” he said. The Coastal Research Institute “easily doubles, if not triples, our ability to conduct great applied work here in L.A., while simultaneously providing experience and the skills needed by LMU students to be ready to work for a global community.” — Joe Piasecki

Loyola Marymount University students, faculty and administrators are mourning the loss of 19-year-old LMU sophomore Bianca Red Arrow, who was found dead Monday in Redondo Beach under mysterious circumstances.

“Forced from Home” takes visitors into the lives of displaced people International humanitarian aid provider Doctors Without Borders will attempt to communicate the scope and severity of the global refugee crisis through a 10,000-square-foot interactive exhibit opening next week on Santa Monica Pier. “Forced from Home” replicates conditions in refugee camps and relates true stories of asylum seekers through physical installations, immer-

sive video, virtual reality and tour guides with firsthand experience as aid workers around the globe. Laure Weber, a Pacific Palisadesbased clinical psychologist who has worked as a mental health supervisor in South Sudan, Ukraine, Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is among those leading tours during the exhibits Nov. 13 to 19 run. She’s counseled the displaced and impoverished victims of mutilation, survivors of rape, and witnesses to family members being murdered — as well as some of the doctors and nurses who volunteer to treat them. Visitors to the traveling exhibit “get a good sense of why people flee their homes and what they lose along the way. In Sudan, some people walked 200 kilometers [125 miles] with nothing more than the clothes on their back. … It’s remarkable, the resilience I’ve seen,” said Weber. “Doctors Without Borders wants people to see what’s happening with the migration crisis,” she said. “Personally, I’m bearing witness for the people I saw, and I’m speaking out about what happened to them because they can’t.” For more information about the exhibit, visit forcedfromhome.com. — Joe Piasecki

Building ‘a Museum Without Walls’ Venice Oceanarium founder Tim Rudnick has plans for a legacy project on the Venice Pier By Gary Walker Whether introducing kids to the frenzy of a midnight grunion run or leading annual public readings of “Moby Dick,” longtime local Tim Rudnick has spent the past 11 years utilizing Venice Beach as outdoor classroom and laboratory. Each Sunday, Rudnick invites passersby to interact with a tabletop display of marine life specimens — shark jaws, dried crabs, fish skeletons and the like — on the sand near the Venice Pier. He and volunteers conduct ocean education workshops at such places as Westminster Avenue Elementary School, Ecole Claire Fontaine and the Oakwood Recreation Center. Now Rudnick, 75, hopes to grow his collective efforts, dubbed the Venice Oceanarium, into a permanent museum at the end of the Venice Pier. “We want this to be an educational venue for the public,” he said. “I consider this to be a worthy legacy for my children and grandchildren.” Rudnick, a retired contractor, envisions the Venice Oceanarium Pavilion as a roughly800-square-footcanopiedoctagon surrounded by moveable display panels that can open or close around the structure, in keeping with his “museum without walls” approach. Inside, a central fountain feeds an aquarium-style touch tank supported by interactive panel displays about local flora and fauna. Rooftop solar panels and a small windmill turbine would power the structure. “We plan to have a very light footprint

Letters

Rudnick’s plan features a central touch tank and movable display walls on the pier,” said Rudnick, whose written proposal points to a similarly oriented bait shop and café that existed on the pier in the 1960s. Rudnick is currently awaiting results of a city Department of Recreation and Parks evaluation of the pier’s structural durability. Parks officials have conducted that assessment, but their conclusions about what maintenance or repair would be necessary are pending, said Venicearea parks superintendent Bob Davis. Meanwhile, Rudnick is still pushing forward on the most difficult work of the project: raising the funds to build and maintain it. He estimates about $2 million in startup costs, but only about $40,000 per year to operate and maintain the pavilion. “That’s one of the most attractive things about this: It’s somewhat inexpensive,” he said.

Re: “Gondos for Life,” News, Oct. 26 [To Jeffery Shimizu] Coach, I want you to know that even though I only had you as my baseball coach for one year, you have made a great impact on my life in ways you will never know. I am sure those who had you for more than a year feel the same way. You are why many of us went into the teaching and coaching profession. Congrats on this honor. You definitely deserved it. God bless, Steve Campos, ’87-89 Re: “Creative Judaism,” News, Sept. 21 Rabbi Lori and Open Temple are the real thing! It’s just what Venice & the Jewish-ly curious community around here is hungry for: peace, love, spirituality, music, lightness, fun, prayer

and Hershey’s Kisses! What’s not to love? H.B.

Not everyone’s a fan of the project. A handful of locals did not return calls about it, and an anonymous handwritten screed mailed to The Argonaut while reporting this story criticizes everything from the safety and feasibility of the wind turbine to concerns about nighttime lighting and security. Last year Rudnick presented his idea before the Venice Neighborhood Council but has yet to bring it to L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin’s office for review. He and friends held a fundraiser in September, and the Oceanarium recently received a $5,000 grant from the office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, whose district includes Venice. Rudnick says the ocean has always fascinated him, and “has become more of an interesting subject for people since the advent of sea level rise and climate change.”

The Critical Line

Asked how the Venice Oceanarium Pavilion would differ from Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, Rudnick cited different missions and pier environments. “There, it’s kind of like a carnival. Here it’s more of an intimate environmental experience,” he said. “Plus, the Santa Monica Aquarium is more about marine biology.” Ecole Claire Fontaine parent Kristin Ess-Schur said students respond with enthusiasm to Rudnick’s hands-on approach to learning. “It’s one of the most popular classes on the Abbot Kinney campus,” she said. “He brings an array of interesting samples, from seaweed to shells, and the children get a chance to talk about nature on a deeper level and about the importance of living in concert with our surroundings.” Despite the challenge of raising $2 million, Rudnick remains optimistic about the possibility of creating a new public resource dedicated to the local marine environment. “I’m more positive about this than anything that I’ve done in years. At my age, I have to be,” he concluded with a laugh. The Venice Oceanarium holds its annual group reading of “Moby Dick” from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 18 and 19, near the Venice Breakwater. View plans for the Venice Oceanarium Pavilion at veniceoceanarium.org.

Re: “What’s Best for Ballona?” News, Nov. 2 Listen to Dr. Travis Longcore. The new science is being completely ignored. He too once thought that opening Ballona to the ocean would be the best way to “restore” the wetlands. But now we know the Earth is not flat, and the wetlands do not need more saltwater. What we need is to protect the wildlife and the precious many decades of equilibrium and life-filled soils that make up the circle of life at Ballona.

Coastal Chamber of Commerce audience that it was past time for the county to modernize the marina and make it more attractive to the digital workforce flourishing in nearby Venice, Santa Monica and Playa Vista. “Many of you have been reading about the new Silicon Beach [tech sector] that we have around here, and we need to be competitors for that marketplace and have the kinds of amenities and living experiences and businesses that will attract people to come here,” he said. So far, that effort has been pretty successful, according to Marina City Realty owner Charles Lederman. “In general, I think the influx of Silicon Beach companies coming to the Westside has had an effect,” said Lederman of rising rental prices in the marina. Affluent renters wanting to live close to where they work “seems to be the trend,” he added. TwoBergman, Bedrooms Peter president of Bergman Beach OneProperties Bedroom in Marina del Rey, said short-term rentals brokered through home-sharing sites like Airbnb are also having an impact on the market. “We’ve seen home prices go up because of Airbnb, which has increased the demand for rentals. People who come to the marina or Venice and want to rent want to be by the beach,” Bergman said. “We’re seeing many duplexes in places like Marina Pointe used as Airbnb rentals by homeowners because the revenue is much greater if you have a short-term tenant instead of a long term-tenant. … So that has a direct impact on the rental market in Marina del Rey.”

Comparing U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates of rental prices and occupant earnings from 2010 to 2015, the percentage of“rent-burdened” Marina del Rey residents — those whose rent bill cost more than 30% of their income — actually decreased as rental costs increased. In 2010, when the overall median rental price in the marina was $1,977, slightly more than 48% of tenants were rent-burdened. In 2015, when the median rental price shot up to $2,411, the share of rent-bur-

dened tenants had dropped to 45.8%. Venice community activist Nick Antonicello, who works in sales for luxury real estate firms and brands, sees the Westside’s red-hot housing market pushing lower-income tenants out of high-demand areas, replacing them with higher wage earners — which may account for the decreasing share of rentburdened tenants in the marina. “There’s no question the demographic of the marina is trending so that a person has to make six figures in order to live there. There’s less rental stock, and the people living here are

two-bedroom apartment in Venice in August 2016, as Apartment List data had suggested at the time. Under the new formula, the estimated median rent for a two-bedroom unit last fall moved closer to $2,200 — compared to about $4,300 at the time in Marina del Rey.

1,100 NEW UNITS IN THE PIPELINE

The supply side of the Marina del Rey rental price equation is difficult to pin down. As of late September, L.A. County planning officials counted 6,037 existing rental units in Marina del Rey, with

policies as the Los Angeles neighborhoods it borders, and the housing stock basically functions as a revenue generator for county coffers. (L.A. County owns the land and leases it to developers, who in turn set rental prices.)

“I strongly support the development of housing that people can afford. As we go forward with [new] developments in Marina del Rey, all will include some affordable units.” — L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn much more affluent. So, yeah, people are probably leaving because of the rents,” Antonicello said.

MORE EXPENSIVE THAN VENICE

It’s no secret that rent prices are going up all over the Westside, but even those who follow the news closely may be surprised that median rents in Marina del Rey are actually higher than in Venice, despite the hype generated by clickbait headlines suggesting otherwise. Until recently, Apartment List calculated its widely publicized median rent reports based primarily on apartmentlist.com listings, which was biasing the data toward luxury housing stock and thus overstating median rental prices, explained Apartment List housing economist Chris Salviati. Earlier this year, Apartment List began using more fully representative base estimates calculated from American Community Survey estimates as a control, then extrapolating rental increases based on month-to-month price comparisons of similar units advertised at apartmentlist.com. “Our new estimates tend to be lower than what some of our competitors publish, but we feel that our estimates best reflect the full market,” Salviati said. In other words, most people weren’t paying in excess of $5,000 a month to lease a

another 1,111 rental units projected for development or already under construction. It wasn’t immediately clear how many rental units existed in the marina while rental prices shot up drastically from early 2014 to late 2015, but new construction tends to replace more affordable older units with pricier new units — despite increasing density expanding the overall housing supply. In 2011, the 202-unit Del Rey Shores apartment complex built in 1964 at Via Marina and Panay Way was demolished to make way for a small village of high-end contemporary housing. Its replacement, the big blue buildings now known as Shores, brought 544 new rental units to the market in 2013. According to county reports, the marina added 688 rental units overall in 2013, with 54 of them set aside as affordable housing below market rate (all of them at Shores). In August 2016, the Neptune Marina’s 136 aging townhomes — where monthly rent for two-bedroom units topped out at around $2,600 vs. Apartment List’s estimated median rent of $4,380 — were demolished to make way for a new 526-unit complex. Historically, the market and pretty much the market alone has determined rental prices in Marina del Rey. The unincorporated community is not subject to the same rent stabilization

development in the marina to be more inclusive of affordable housing. “I strongly support the development of housing that people can afford,” said Hahn. “As we go forward with [new] developments in Marina del Rey, all will include some affordable units.” But Knabe cautions that it’s unlikely the marina could support enough rental units to keep pace with demand from across the income spectrum. Only a few years ago, he and his staff members saw an imperative to address the wave of high-earners cresting west of the 405 with competitively attractive housing that would sustain the marina’s role as a major revenue generator for the county. “Marina del Rey’s always been an attractive area to visit and to live. But there’s a limit to what they can do out there regarding building more housing, because it’s county-owned land and the supply has not met the demand,” Knabe said. “There were always issues about supply because it’s always been a high-demand area, so it stays on the higher side of the rental scale.” Salviati’s prediction: Rental prices will keep going up in Marina del Rey. “There’s no real indication of that trend reversing,” he said, “and so I would expect the area to continue experiencing aboveaverage rent growth over the next few years.”

The Last Days of the West “Blood Brothers” traces the unlikely friendship of Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill to spiritual atonement at Standing Rock and America’s ‘war on the wilderness’ By Bliss Bowen “The red man was pressed from this part of the West He’s likely no more to return To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever Their flickering campfires burn” — lost verse of cowboy anthem “Home on the Range” Reading Deanne Stillman’s extensively researched book “Blood Brothers: The Story of the Strange Friendship Between Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill” stirs a dispiriting sense of reverse déjà vu. Celebrity worship, inequality, homelessness, and governmental disregard for wildlife and treaties with Native American tribes — all figure into a complex narrative winding from America’s 19th-century Western frontier up through 2016’s dramatic protests at Standing Rock Indian Reservation and the Trump administration’s recent moves to open wilderness areas to mining and drilling. “Trump’s war on the wilderness didn’t start with Trump. It’s a last attempt to completely take over the land, take whatever’s there,” Stillman says. “The tribes have been removed and sent to reservations, and now the move to eradicate wild horses and undo all these wilderness protections. I believe this is the endgame in a war against Native Americans. … This is just a continuation of the dark part of the American story.” “Blood Brothers” covers earlier pages in that tale. Revolving around two historical icons whose names still signify outlaw independence, it expands on themes in the Westside-based author’s previous books: 2001’s “Twentynine Palms: A True Story of Murders, Marines, and the Mojave,” 2008’s bestselling “Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West,” and 2012’s awardwinning “Desert Reckoning.” All deal with what she calls “the promise and failure of the American dream.” William “Buffalo Bill” Cody and Hunkpapa Lakota medicine man Sitting Bull were two of the most famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) celebrities of post-Civil War America, and their rarified positions seeded their unlikely bond. Cody, a charismatic, velvet jacket-wearing ladies’ man, worked as a Pony Express rider, railroad buffalo hunter and Army scout, then performed in and eventually produced “equestrian extravaganzas”that re-enacted cowboy-and-Indian battles and other sensational events. Former scouts, cowboys, Indians, and sharpshooter Annie Oakley (whom Sitting Bull regarded as a daughter) all performed in Cody’s immensely popular show, “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West.” It was a huge

Deanne Stillman uncovers historical truths that make history feel not so far in the past “get” to book Sitting Bull, who had defiantly led his people to Canada for four years before starvation forced them to surrender their ponies, guns and freedom to U.S. Army demands and reservation rule. Brisk ticket sales measured the public’s fascination with the warrior once

his family. Were he alive today, he’d likely exhibit a rock star’s branding savvy. Cody paid high tribute when he told a Minnesota reporter that “no white man could convince his people to follow him as they starved” as Sitting Bull had done. Describing Sitting Bull as a very intuitive “spiritual force to contend with” (“We don’t have words in our language to represent what he represents to his people”), Stillman recounts his lifelong affinity for wild creatures; he purportedly learned of his impending death from a meadowlark. Horses are tracked alongside human characters, including Comanche (who developed a taste for booze after famously surviving Custer’s rout at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn) and the horse Cody gave to Sitting Bull — a gift that speaks volumes about their respectful friendship. The horse reportedly began doing his Wild West dance steps when Sitting Bull was shot in 1890; that story moved Stillman to write “Blood Brothers.” Calling betrayal of Native Americans “America’s original sin,” she says it’s at the root of the nation’s ongoing troubles with gun violence: “It’s why we can’t relinquish our guns. Because we know what happens when people give up their guns, and it’s not pretty.” Stillman hopes raising readers’awareness … Cody was spinning out this American of history will inspire reconciliation. She scripture and permitting cowboys and Indians to live inside this world that was traces a line from Sitting Bull to a “profound” ceremony that took place in being obliterated on the outside.” By the time he signed on with Cody, after December at Standing Rock: Military veterans descended from soldiers who’d ventures with other shows that did not treat him well, Sitting Bull was fascinated fought earlier generations of Native Americans arrived to protect Dakota Pipeline protesters, and knelt and asked forgiveness of Lakota elders. The episode is key to the relevance she reaches for with “Blood Brothers.” “In the old days, on the frontier when the cavalry used to show up, there was trouble ahead for Indians. But here was a complete 180, and cavalry was coming to align itself with Native Americans at Standing Rock. I believe that signals a big shift in this country in our spiritual lives. It will take some time for that to be reflected in policy. … Sitting Bull lived at Standing Rock and he died at Standing Rock, and by American technology and wanted his his spirit is across the Plains. What was children to “flourish in the world that had going on last year and what’s continuing to go on reverberates everywhere.” overtaken them.” But he could not understand how a culture whose weapons Deanne Stillman discusses “Blood had defeated his people could not take care of its own; according to Stillman, he Brothers” at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, with host Rex Wiener at Beyond Baroque (681 would “sometimes give away his salary” to orphans he encountered on the street.

But after the Army’s vicious campaign to eradicate Plains tribes so that white farmers could settle their land, how was working together possible for onetime enemies shoved aside by America’s rapid industrialization — namely Sitting Bull, Cody and his cast? Per Stillman, traveling shows like “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West” offered the only way off the reservation: “They got to hit the road and be free again, within a limited frame of reference.

Love & Nazis After discovering her mother’s secret past, Playa del Rey resident Tania Wisbar turned forgotten history into a romantic drama

By Christina Campodonico When Tania Wisbar was just a baby, her recently divorced mother, Eva Kroy Wisbar, brought her and her older sister to the U.S. from Germany. This was in 1938, the year before World War II engulfed Europe. The war loomed in the background of Tania’s childhood, but the exact circumstances of her mother’s immigration and split from her father remained largely unknown to her and her sister until decades later. “We didn’t know anything,” says Tania, a Playa del Rey resident, recalling how her mother, who hailed from a well-connected German film family, never really spoke of her married life or her Jewish heritage. “We had nothing religious in our house. We didn’t belong to any community. So we celebrated at Christmas and Easter. Never, ever were we in a synagogue.” Aside from a few family photos, artifacts from her mother’s life before the war were non-existent — sold off by the Nazis, according to Tania. “I wish I just had one spoon,” she says. But in 1999 — 15 years after Eva’s death — a German university professor doing research at Harvard uncovered an 88-page manuscript written by Tania’s mother about the Nazi takeover of the German film industry. The document from 1939 also provided a wealth of information about her marriage to Tania’s distant father, Frank Wisbar, a German filmmaker with ties to the Nazi propaganda machine, who later directed the pioneering American television series “Fireside Theatre” (a.k.a. “Jane Wyman Presents”) and married three more times.

Among the revelations: that her mother was Jewish and that the Nazis had forced Eva and Frank to divorce to comply with the Nuremberg Laws’ prohibition of intermarriage between Germans and Jews. “We were just shocked. None of that had been shared with us,” recalls Tania. Eighteen years later, Tania has transformed insights from her mother’s manuscript into a play based on her parents’ star-crossed relationship amidst the rise of Nazi Germany. In “The Red Dress,” now playing at the Odyssey Theatre, Wisbar has channeled her parents’ spirits and tumultuous story into the characters of Alexandra Schiele, a fictionalized film actress, and Franz

“You don’t go peel the onion of your family’s tragedies without maybe getting a lot of onion in your eye.” — Tania Wisbar Weitrek, a budding filmmaker. Their marriage is torn apart by the Nazi party, a menacing Gestapo officer and conflicting ideologies about the role of art in politics. Tania spoke to The Argonaut about the play, her family’s hidden history and her mother’s rebellious streak in the face of Nazi oppression.

Why did the Nazis force your parents to divorce? A racially mixed couple was of course illegal under the Nuremberg Laws.

One, that my mother was Jewish. Two, that [my mother and father] each had their Gestapo followers — that my mother had to report to the Gestapo for, not a physical inquisition, but interrogation twice a month. Rather than being so terrified twice a month when she had to go to the Gestapo headquarters, she would force herself to go an hour early and would look at the pictures of the great leaders of Nazi Germany, and she would talk herself down from being in a panic by saying, “Someday you’re all going to hang or be killed, because you are criminals.” Do you think that was your mother’s way of being rebellious? My mother was nothing but rebellious. She was very small, very beautiful and had a gigantic temper, which she only (Continued on page 14)

Then she very often would just get up and refuse to sit at the restaurant if any Nazis came in. [One time] she just got up and walked out and said, “I’m not sitting with Nazis.” One of the Gestapo came the next morning, knocked on the apartment door and said, “I must beg you to divorce your husband; you are contaminating him.” And she said, “How dare you come to a Jew and ask for a favor?” That’s in her manuscript. She was very mouthy. Another thing that’s in the manuscript, which is typical of her: The Nazi women collected money every Christmas for veterans. They came to her and said, “Well, we know your name is Wisbar and we expect you to donate something.” And she said, “Exactly why should I donate anything to you, who now intend to kill me?” So she wasn’t too cautious, I would say. But, she didn’t believe [the Nazis] had the power

Drawn to Movement

“Dancers at The Lot” documents contemporary underground hip-hop dance culture By Christina Campodonico On Election Night 2016, photographer John Nyboer stumbled across an unexpected sight in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. In a parking lot on Ninth and Olive streets, hip-hop dancers of all shapes and sizes, shades and skill levels were grooving — moving to music on a night when most Americans were probably glued to their phones, computers or TV screens. “I was just drawn to it,” Nyboer recalls of encountering the open-air dance class and weekly gathering, known as The Lot. “I think I would have been drawn to it anyway, on any other day, but this [one] in particular, I just kind of saw it as the future that I believed in.” Nyboer quickly found instructor and founder Slim Boogie, an internationally known hip-hop competition dancer and master popper, and asked if he could photograph the class when it met on Tuesday nights. Slim agreed, allowing Nyboer access to a segment of L.A.’s dance community that usually goes unnoticed. He’s gathered his photos from The Lot into an exhibition opening Saturday at Bergamot Station’s Lois Lambert Gallery. “You know the photos are one thing, right? They’re part documentary and part art,” says Nyboer of the show, “but they’re also part recognition of something that I think is going on right under people’s noses that I think they should be more aware of.” While Nyboer notes that hip-hop and street dance tend to reach most people through television or music videos, “you don’t really see where all the work happens,” he says. “So I think it’s important to see where the work happens and for people to see it as an art form. When it comes to the contemporary, hip-hop based dance styles, you usually

assume something is edible because you saw something like it in a grocery store. What kind of person attends foraging classes? A lot of people come to my classes because they like to go hiking, but they don’t understand the place they love. It is like someone from the countryside coming to a city but they can’t read all the signs.

John Nyboer’s photography captures the energy of an outdoor incubator for emerging dance talent see it in a context that is very flashy and somehow not the same as going to the ballet, right? And yet if you’re a professional dancer these days, you need to know this is every bit as much part of the art form as ballet is.” Slim Boogie founded The Lot to foster community amongst L.A’s hip-hop dancers, circumvent the high cost of renting studios for practice, offer an affordable opportunity for dancers to develop their skills ($5 per class) and create a space where dancers of all shapes, sizes and levels could express

themselves without the usual pressures of auditions or dance competitions. He’s grateful to Nyboer for capturing this spirit through his photographs and hopes that they bring attention to this pool of dance talent, which draws dancers from all over L.A. and the world. “I think what John is doing is really amazing, because it’s literally capturing the moment I don’t think anyone has really captured,” says Slim. “The picture is coming from this straight, like raw moment. … Sometimes, I look at

the pictures and I’m like, ‘Dude, how did you get that picture?’ … There is beauty in all of it, but it just feels more authentic. … All the pictures come out super dope, too.” “The Real Future: Dancers at The Lot” opens with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 11) and remains on display through Jan. 6 at Lois Lambert Gallery, Bergamot Station E-3, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica.

D r i n k How did you get the idea for wildcrafted beer? I grew up in Belgium, which is a country of beer, and I love beer. We lived in an old farm in a small town, and we had a huge garden and a nearby forest where we also foraged for food. The beer and the foraging were both part of our tradition. If you go back to the old days, people used hundreds of different herbs to make what they called wild beers. The Vikings and Celts used mug-

wort, which grows everywhere in California. Like hops, it’s a bitter but very aromatic herb. So is horehound, which was a traditional cure for sore throats in the 1800s and makes a good flavoring in beer. But is what you make actually beer? In many places, beer means grain, hops, yeast and water. I use the definition from pre-1600, which allows that it may be made from things other

than grain and use different flavorings. I make it with a mix that might include molasses, tree sap like maple or birch syrup, sometimes a bit of honey, and flavor it with mugwort and yarrow. Archaeologists have analyzed scrapings from the bottom of centuries-old pots and found the same kinds of mixes, along with berries and other fruit. For centuries brewing was a talent just about everyone had, and people made drinks with whatever they had. Compared to

the rest of human history, modern breweries are an aberration. Are any commercial breweries experimenting with these flavors? There are craft breweries that have started bringing back wildcrafted ingredients, but none of the major brands. It would be good if the practice became more common and there was more money in it, because that would encourage people to maintain wild places.

How to Speak through Song

A master interviewer joins music royalty for a masterclass on the creative process By Bliss Bowen Making your name as an independent artist is a tough road for anyone, but singer-songwriter Louise Goffin has had two unique hurdles to overcome. “To be a songwriter when just one of your parents is that famous, but to come from Gerry Goffin and Carole King? That’s quite a challenge,” says veteran music journalist, musician and photographer Paul Zollo. “She’s had quite an amazing career.” With nine albums to her credit, Goffin recently released a single, “Revenge,” that’s part of a singles-releasing strategy harking back to her parents’ Brill Building heyday. Industry savvy is part of what she brings to her songwriting masterclasses — the latest of which she’s conducting Saturday at the Village Recording Studio. She’s invited Zollo to speak as a special guest. The two have been acquainted since Goffin sang at a 1988 tribute to her parents that Zollo co-produced. In 1989, Zollo interviewed Gerry Goffin and King — insightful conversations that appeared in his widely acclaimed book “Songwriters on Songwriting,” a collection of probing Q&A exchanges with the likes of Mose Allison, Leonard Cohen, Willie Dixon, Bob Dylan, Los Lobos and Neil Young about writers block, inspiration, creative flow and backstage memories. Louise Goffin calls it “the definitive book on songwriting.”

Louise Goffin Together with last year’s “More Songwriters on Songwriting” (featuring Elvis Costello, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henry, Chrissie Hynde, Kris Kristofferson, Aimee Mann, Matisyahu, Randy Newman, Sia, Patti Smith, and Brian Wilson), it’s become something of a consulting bible among songwriters. (Full disclosure: Years ago Zollo not only professionally encouraged me, he gave an assignment and even lined up work with another publication — a rare and benevolent act indicative of his nature.) Zollo’s in-depth interview preparation has often included learning artists’ songs, so he can talk shop about chord architecture, key changes and the mechanics of melody writing. That grounded his rapport with Tom Petty and led to their 2005 collaboration “Conversations with Tom Petty,” which revolved around songwriting and the creative process. (“His love for

“It’s a topic that many are talking about,” Zollo observes. “It used to be more obvious that you could be a songwriter and make a living at it. Now to be a songwriter you almost have to be crazy or independently wealthy, or both. [Laughs] You have to feel it’s worthwhile even if there aren’t immediate ways of monetizing it. There’s an empowerment in it that gives you a lot of confidence, and writing songs is therapeutic. For many of us, even if nothing ever came of Paul Zollo it, we would never stop. It’s such a great way of dealing with life. songwriting was palpable,” Zollo recalls. “I’m a musician more than I’m a critic, “It was a joy to share it.”) and I have genuine reverence for songBehind all the metaphysical questions writers.

Freedom from the Moment Kris Delmhorst takes marriage and motherhood on the road to rekindle her creative spark

By Bliss Bowen Myriad factors complicate the creation and recording of music; add intimate marital dynamics, and things can get dangerously heated in the studio. That’s one reason why singer-songwriters Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault, both respected luminaries in New England’s folk/Americana community, opted to treat their individual musical identities like their own “sovereign land” after marrying. They traded off taking tours and staying at home in Western Massachusetts with their now 9-year-old daughter (though Foucault plays about twice as much as Delmhorst these days) until “The Wild” — Delmhorst’s insightful new album, co-produced with Foucault. It’s the first they’ve made together. “When the stakes are so high, it’s really important that we come out the other side and still like each other,” she says with a laugh. “It can be really delicate working on each other’s stuff, although we tend to be pretty robust in our editing and constructive criticism of each other’s works. But it seemed like we as individuals and we as a couple had matured to the point we could handle this as a challenge.” Having navigated her way through toddler-raising years when “it was hard to ever feel 100% present to the work,” Delmhorst says she’s learned to “get really good at flipping the switch a lot quicker” whenever creative space is available to “really submerge into music.” She’s currently touring with her home and band families, having piled into a Ford Transit van with Foucault, their daughter, drummer Billy Conway, bassist Jeremy Moses Curtis and pedal steel guitarist Eric Heywood. Not feeling divided between the road and home is liberating and reminds her of “being all in” as a younger artist: “Our whole life is here.”

Kris Delmhorst’s new songs move with evocative, subtle grooves All five musicians will be onstage at McCabe’s on Saturday for two sets: one fronted by Delmhorst focusing on “The Wild,” and one by Foucault that will introduce material from his forthcoming album “Blood Brothers.” With so many years of artistic and personal relationship between the players, it’s a comfortable setup for transporting audiences to the evocative, subtly grooving zone occupied by Delmhorst’s haunting contralto and songs like “All the Way Around” (“I closed my eyes on the road last night, I was listening to the sound of the stars/ Listening to the song of night getting long and the music of the way things are.”) The rustic, autumnal feel of her natural imagery adds knottier dimension to songs about life’s passage. “It’s kind of funny that’s how my writing’s ended up,” she acknowledges, her words tumbling forth in an energetic cadence reflecting her urban Brooklyn upbringing, though she takes a writer’s deliberate care in articulating thoughts.

“Partly it’s just that’s where moments of stillness and deeper contemplation are prone to happen, if I get out in the woods with the dog or we spend a lot of time by rivers. Those settings take you to a place in your mind where maybe you’re going to start making connections and writing ideas. I’m not usually writing a story song about events that happened; I’m digging into currents under the surface about what it means to be a person moving through life.” Last month, Delmhorst blasted Tom Petty records to crack open her grief at his death and the Mandalay Bay shooting in Vegas. Touring the country at a historically divisive time, does she sense audiences seeking something comparable from live music? “That’s a good question,” she muses. “At one show somebody mentioned something relevant to the news, and I said, ‘We’re not going to talk about that,’ and there was this ‘OhThankGod’ energy in the audience. [Laughs] This is a particu-

larly trying time for most people, but even if it’s just daily life, everybody needs to be reminded of deeper layers of themselves. I compare it to the feeling of when you sit at your desk too long, and you stand up and there’s that feeling of, ‘Oh, I have legs.’ On a spiritual or intangible level, that’s our job, to give people that nudge. As busy as everybody is, it’s really hard to access that stuff sometimes. That’s one of music’s oldest roles. “Our job is so weird because a lot of what we’re supposed to be able to do is wander around and think about life. [Laughs] We have this incredible luxury of a lot of time for reflection. But most people don’t. I remember when we had our daughter, and with a new baby you’re just dealing, dealing, dealing on a moment-to-moment basis with all these tangible little tasks. “We were driving up to some gig in Vermont, and we put on a Greg Brown record that I’d heard 56,000 times and it just destroyed me; I bawled my eyes out the entire drive. It was because I had just been existing on this do-the-next-thing level, on this one little slice of who I am, who we all are. We live on that level so much of the time, and just listening to those songs opened all the passageways to the other layers of my existence. That for me was an incredibly useful lesson because it was the first time I really understood what it is that my music is for, the kind I’m trying to make. It reminded me how little what I do is about me, and how much it’s about offering this service to people.” Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault return to McCabe’s Guitar Shop (3101 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica) at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11.

Pic Me! I’m a newly divorced woman trying some online dating sites. Because I read your column, I understand how men prioritize beauty. I’m an attractive woman, but I often photograph terribly, and I’m thinking of spending some money and having a professional photographer shoot some pix in a studio. Would this be a good investment? I feel like I’d have a better shot if I had really great photos. — Unphotogenic Being somewhat vain, I fear the candid camera. In fact, I not only favor the posed photo but tend to stick (rather aggressively) to a single pose — the one that doesn’t make people wonder whether I eat oats out of a burlap bag. On online dating sites especially, appearance drives whom we choose or lose. Not surprisingly, marketing researcher Jonah Berger reports that “most online contexts,” including dating sites, “are dominated by

posed photos,” as opposed to the candid kind — to the point where the main leisure activity in North America appears to be standing in a bathroom making duck lips for the camera. Berger notes that people tend to assume others will find them more likable and worth getting to know if they present “a curated, polished version of the self.” Yet in his research, it was the candid pix that made people more interested in “being friends with or going on a date” with the person pictured. Those he surveyed also reported feeling “more connected” to those in the candid photos and liking these people more overall. “Candid photos made photo targets seem more genuine,” Berger explains. They “seem to provide a glimpse into what someone is truly like, an unvarnished perspective on how they look and behave when others aren’t looking.” However, there are times when candids are less advisable. For example, Berger

found that employers on LinkedIn were more interested in hiring someone who used a posed photo. Sadly, it seems the candid “Here I am at 1 a.m. drinking my sixth glass of chardonnay” does not scream “Hire MEEEEE!” But getting back to online dating, let’s temper Berger’s findings with what we all know: The hotter you look the more replies you’ll get on a dating site. So, because you’re somebody who often photographs “terribly,” your best bet is getting photos taken that appear to be candid. You do this by having a photographer or friend shoot you “in action” — in other words, appearing not to notice the big honking lens or the iPhone right in your face. Plan to shoot a ton of photos and at least a few will catch you looking babealicious. This should help you bridge the photogenic fairness gap: how there are those the candid camera loves and those it loves to make look like ringers for Winston Churchill.

Who’ll Stop the Wane? I’m happily married. My wife is beautiful. She used to put a lot of effort into her appearance, but she now wears sweats and T-shirts everywhere and never wears makeup or does her hair. I felt really bad about this on our recent date night, when she just put her hair in a ponytail and wore a slouchy army jacket. I want her to keep making an effort to put herself together for me. How can I offer her constructive criticism without making her mad? — Bummed You come up behind a ragged, disheveled person standing on the corner and

put a dollar in the Starbucks cup they’re holding — and then you realize your error: “Oops! Hi, honey!” I suspect the term “constructive criticism” was coined by someone who went through life without ever encountering another human being. As I explain in “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck,” here in the real world “criticizing people doesn’t make them change; it makes them want to clobber you.” That’s because our ancient fight-or-flight system is a little one-note — juicing us to respond to a verbal attack as if it were an attack by some dude running at us with a bloody spear.

Though it isn’t unreasonable to want your wife to make an effort on date night, you should focus on what you do want to see rather than what you don’t. For example: “Honey, you’re so beautiful, and when it’s date night it would make me so happy if you did your hair and wore a dress. And I’ll wear whatever you want.” And to get her to make more of an effort day to day: “I love you so much, and I want to be sure we keep the romance alive.” Make clear that you aren’t expecting her to do the dishes in an evening dress and a tiara. You’d just be thrilled if, from time to time, the thigh-highs could be fishnets instead of hip waders.
