Enough with the non-partisan elections

After all the money and rancor, another Los Angeles mayoral contest is in the books.

At the end of the day, Mayor-elect Eric Garcetti and opponent Wendy Greuel were very much mirror images of each other, governmentally as well as politically.

Both from the Valley and colleagues on the City Council, one had to win and one had to lose.

In the end, Garcetti ran the superior effort in managing to convince voters that Controller Greuel was a tool of the unions, especially the Department of Water and Power, which is hated by ratepayers, despite the fact that they had similar records in terms of supporting raises and promotions for that specific collective bargaining unit.

The race was not about the issues, but the style of the candidates as well as the endorsements they received.

Greuel could not hold her Valley base and failed to make any serious inroads on the Westside where she was beaten rather easily.

But to me, this election is a model example of why non-partisan primaries and municipal elections are anachronistic, dated and simply need to be scrapped.

With a turnout of just 20 percent in both the primary and runoff, clearly voters are not tuned in.

Elections in March and May just don’t work and voters have made that quite apparent with nearly 80 percent not bothering to participate. This is a structural deterrent to democracy and it needs to be addressed.

CAUTION DON’T REFINANCE!

The Los Angeles Democratic Party does itself little good by enabling a process that enables Republican voters and depresses Democratic voter turnout.

Primaries by definition are party elections to choose a nominee. That process has been destroyed by “jungle” primaries and non-partisan municipal elections.

What’s the point of conducting nonpartisan elections when all the candidates clearly identify themselves as Democrats and tout those party endorsements?

Wouldn’t a June Democratic Primary in a winner-take-all scenario be far more representative of voter sentiment and preference?

Wouldn’t it make far more sense to have both Democrats and Republicans select nominees like they do in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York, where turnouts are double and triple that of Los Angeles, when selecting the city’s chief executive?

Moreover, the size of the Los Angeles City Council is far too small when compared to the same cities where New York has nearly 60 council members and Chicago over 50 aldermen.

Doesn’t expanding the size of the City Council offer more accountability and a sense that city government is not this detached reality that rears its head only at election time from downtown?

With no elections scheduled this year to my knowledge, a mayoral contest between the major party candidates on the first Tuesday in November would probably double the interest as well as the turnout.

The hard reality is that non-partisan elections depress turnout and offer the special interests far too much influence in a smaller voter pool. The millions spent went

wasted on mailings people discarded and television spots few watched is evident.

Mayor-elect Garcetti would be wise to consider serious charter reform in the way city government elects its leaders: * Implement partisan primary elections * Hold these primaries on the first Tuesday in June * Conduct the general election of the first Tuesday in November * Expand the size of the current City Council from 15 to 30 members * Recommend that the positions of city attorney and controller be mayoral appointees who serve with the advice and consent of the City Council Eric Bauman and the Los Angeles Democratic Party would build a far better political bench of candidates because they will have more offices to run while turning out far greater Democrats in these city elections.

The Democratic Party is being stymied at both the city and county levels with these archaic, non-partisan elections that depress turnout, enable Republicans (especially at the county level) and have Democrats facing Democrats in these jungle primaries that only promote party in-fighting.

It’s a system that in my view would not stand a legal challenge in the courts.

It’s time for Democrats to openly oppose these non-partisan elections and sue for a system that allows Democrats to nominate candidates for public office in a far more responsible and partisan way that increases voter turnout and interest.

Ethics training will now extend to planning and land use committee mandated ethics training within 55 days of taking office, whether by appointment or election, will be prohibited from voting on any land use issues or financial expenditures of any city funds.

“This standing rule shall apply to all members of the Budget Committee and the Planning and Land Use Committee effective Aug. 1, 2013.”

Board member Ira Koslow, who chairs the council’s bylaw committee, thought that the inclusion of budget and land use committee members made sense because they help shape board policy on two areas that the local council frequently votes on and specifically references in its standing rules regarding ethics training.

“The idea is if you’re voting on financial and land use matters, then you should be taking ethics training,” he explained.

Koslow pointed out that members of the Budget Committee are already board members and should have already taken the city-mandated conflict of interest course.

“And the only member of the Land Use and Planning Committee who is also a board member is the committee chair, so none of the other committee members have been required to take ethics training,” he added.

Board member Cynthia Rogers said it has been a tradition of sorts for the Venice council to take ethics seriously.

By Gary Walker A new addendum to the Venice Neighborhood Council’s bylaws will require members of two key committees to comply with the city of Los Angeles’ mandated conflict of interest training.

The council voted unanimously 15-0 May 22 to require members of the council’s Budget and Land Use and Planning committees to take and pass an online course given by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE) prior to casting votes on financial and planning items. DONE is the city agency that oversees all neighborhood councils.

Jake Kaufman, the land use and planning chair, chose to abstain from the motion instead of voting yea or nay.

The change in the standing rule adds the two committee to the list of those who must now take the training course or lose their voting privileges on financial and planning matters.

All 95 neighborhood councils are required to take the mandated conflict of interest course.

“Any member of the board of officers who has a financial or material pecuniary interest in an item, as defined by state, federal or local laws, shall recuse themselves from voting on any item in question,” the new rule states.

“Any member of the Venice Neighborhood Council who has not received a certificate of completion for the

MEMBERS OF THE VENICE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL’S Land Use and Planning Committee will be required to take the city’s ethics training class before they are allowed to vote on developments and land use projects.

“Making it a priority to have the board along with significant committee members take the ethics exam can only be a good thing,” Rogers said. “It’s a priority of (our council) to serve the public with the highest ethical standards, and that all starts with education and awareness.”

The Venice council has led the way on compliance with city’s conflict of interest statute among all neighborhood councils for several years. Until four years ago, council President Linda Lucks was the only council leader among neighborhood councils covered by The Argonaut to publicly remind her members at each meeting that ethics training is required.

Following a 2009 Argonaut article that showed that fewer than 30 percent of local advisory boards were compliant with ethics training, all board presidents routinely publicly remind their members of their city-mandated duty to take the course.

Several incumbent board members at the time of last year’s neighborhood council elections were not in compliance with ethics training, including Kaufman, according to DONE records.

The certificates of Venice council members Kristopher Valentine, Scot Kramarich and former board members Marianna Aguilar and Jed Pauker, who lost in their reelection bids, had also expired when they sought reelection in the Oct. 28 race.

Karen Wolfe, a former member of the council’s land use committee, applauded the council for taking action on something that she feels is long overdue.

“I think it is an excellent idea,” she said. “I think it’s important for the committee to demonstrate that they have an understanding of the Brown Act and other conflict of interest rules.”

The Brown Act is a 60-year-old state law that guarantees the public the right to attend public hearings and meetings of city councils, committees and agency boards.

Another local council has also begun moving towards holding its members more accountable regarding ethics. The Neighborhood Council of WestchesterPlaya voted May 7 to give the board president the authority to remove those who have not taken ethics training three

months after they have been elected to the council.

Incumbents in Westchester-Playa, Del Rey and Mar Vista who were not in compliance with the city ethics law also ran for reelection last year.

Sue Kaplan, a Venice resident who has monitored the land use and planning votes in her community over the last year, said Koslow’s motion is important because many of the committee’s current members do not have a background in planning.

“I can only see the positive for members of the committees to be also required (to take ethics training). As the (LUPC) Land Use and Planning committee becomes more made up of professional and less of neighborhood members, the subtleties of true representation get even more distinctive,” she said.

“This is truly an issue when committee members are making recommendations that directly affect our neighborhoods and the residents therein.”

Wolfe, who says she has witnessed some acts of questionable ethical behavior by some members of the land use committee in the past, said that making the committee aware of any potential conflicts has been one of the community’s most frequently discussed topics in recent months, especially last fall.

“I think (the local council’s vote) is a reflection of the issues that were brought up in (the Oct. 28) election,” she said.

Rogers, an attorney, said the conflict of interest course is helpful to those who vote on important board matters and can serve as a blueprint to avoid any possible conflicts and potentially unethical behavior.

“DONE offers a great two- hour workshop which centralizes all this info and gives us the tools to foster accountability, impartiality, and just generally how to be solid stewards of the public trust, whether we are a board member or committee member serving as an outreach of the Venice Neighborhood Council,” Rogers said. “I say two thumbs up.” § Gary@ArgonautNews.com

Funds for Hindry station on Crenshaw/LAX Corridor line greenlighted

PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT May 30, 2013

Angeles International Airport area with six stations, a maintenance facility and park-and-ride lots.

One of those stations is located in Westchester at Aviation and Century boulevards.

Ken Alpern, a member of the Mar Vista Community Council and a longtime mass transit proponent, sees these developments as a welcome change in the politics of transportation for the Westside.

“As the old expression goes, ‘Be careful for what you wish for because you might get it,’” said Alpern, the co-chair of the Transit Coalition, a light rail advocacy organization.

While supporters of the Hindry station have also advocated for a Leimert Park stop as well, some take issue with what they say is county Second District Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas’ at best lukewarm support for an additional stop in Westchester.

“Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas is not the kind of person who turns his back on his constituents, but the time will come when he is going to have to ask his Westchester constituents for an apology or ask that Westchester be redistricted back into (Fourth District Supervisor) Don Knabe’s district,” Alpern asserted.

Three years ago, the county changed some of the supervisorial districts and the portion of Westchester west of Lincoln Boulevard stayed in Knabe’s hands while the rest of the community went to RidleyThomas.

The supervisor’s office counters that Ridley-Thomas sought and obtained an amendment to a Metro motion by Knabe in 2010 that asked that a second Westchester station be included as a “bid option” during the construction procurement phase.

The amendment for the Hindry station was contingent upon the construction of a Leimert Park underground station.

In a release from his office after the Metro vote, Ridley-Thomas only addresses the Leimert Park station.

“I am delighted that the board has approved funding to make this historic community a train stop,” he said. “Leimert Park is an iconic neighborhood in Los Angeles. All we have ever said is that it should be treated on par with our county’s other great cultural landmarks.

“This was always a matter of will – a test of will. Because we knew there was a way to make this happen. This is one case where it really did take a village to get a fair share for Leimert Park Village,” Ridley-Thomas continued. “It is a major achievement for those who have advocated for the station, for those who insisted that the Crenshaw line quite obviously had to stop in the heart of the Crenshaw community.”

Alpern said he hopes the lack of public advocacy for a second light rail stop in Westchester can be explained at some point, instead of leading some to think that the supervisor is showing preference to his largely African-American Leimert Park constituents and ignoring his Westchester constituents, the majority of

By Gary Walker Transportation advocates and a contingent of east Westchester residents are rejoicing after the Los Angeles City Council and the county Metropolitan Transportation Authority took separate but similar actions that will pave the way for a second light rail station in Westchester.

The council voted May 22 to approve $15 million for the construction of a light rail stop on the Crenshaw/LAX Corridor Light Rail Line at Hindry Avenue near the Inglewood border in Westchester.

The funding vote comes after a May 1 motion by Councilman Bernard Parks to acquire funding for a stop at Hindry. Parks’ motion asked the city’s transportation committee for an amendment that would include an instruction for the city’s administrative officer to present a proposal to bond against future Measure R revenues to obtain a $40 million contribution from the city to build an underground station at Leimert Park and use $15 million toward a Hindry station.

Measure R is a county transportation measure passed in 2008 by the electorate to tax themselves a half-cent to fund transportation projects for 30 years.

The measure is expected to raise approximately $40 billion.

“The March 15, 2013 report to the city administration office relative to Measure R Local Return Programming states that the Department of Transportation estimates that $259 million in bond proceeds could be available to combine with $54.5 million in cash for a total of $313.5 million between fiscal years 201418,” the May 1 motion states.

The city would have $227 million in bond proceeds generated if Metro issued debt for the city and assuming that at least $200 million in bond proceeds could be generated, the city would be able to access $55 million in new revenue, according to the Public Resources Advisory Group, one of Los Angeles’ financial advisors.

The following day, the Metro Board of Directors approved $80 million for Leimert Park but nothing for Westchester.

Nevertheless, Judy Citrin was thrilled with the City Council vote.

“I think it’s just fantastic that after all of our hard work, we’re going to get our Westchester station,” said Citrin, a longtime east Westchester resident.

One local lawmaker thinks the council action spurred Metro into including the Westchester station in its new budget.

“I’m thrilled and delighted that the MTA board took action on this,” said Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents Westchester and chairs the council’s transportation committee. “The board saw that the city put its money where its mouth is, and this is not only a win for the people of Leimert Park and for my constituents, but also for anyone who wants to have a connected rail system.”

The 8.5-mile light rail project will run between the Metro Expo Line on Exposition Boulevard and the Metro Green Line. It will serve the Crenshaw Corridor, Inglewood, Westchester and Los

whom are Caucasian.

“This is not in line with his history of respecting grassroots participation for his constituents,” Alpern noted. “It is my hope that Supervisor Ridley-Thomas finds it within his heart to explain himself at some point.”

Knabe, whom many Westchester residents see as more of an advocate for the Hindry station than his colleague Ridley-Thomas, said the outcome reflected what can happen when governmental agencies work for the same cause.

“I’m pleased that the MTA approved my joint motion to include funding for stations at Leimert Park Village and Westchester-Hindry, as part of the extension of Metro’s Crenshaw/LAX line,” the supervisor told The Argonaut.

“The city of Los Angeles has agreed to partner with us to fund the Hindry station, which will really benefit the local community.

“It is something I have supported for a

long time and I’m pleased that the wheels are now in motion to make it happen.”

Alpern credited the City Council for its role in allowing the Westchester station to go forward.

“I am proud of Councilmen Parks and Rosendahl for reaching out beyond geographic and ethnic boundaries that will link communities together,” he said.

Alpern also said that despite the news of having the Hindry stop paid for, the urgency of getting the light rail line into Los Angeles International Airport should not be pushed to the back burner.

Transportation advocates have been pushing for years for an extension of the Metro Green Line or the Crenshaw/LAX line onto airport grounds.

Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, the city agency that operates LAX, has said she supports an extension into the airport. § Gary@ArgonautNews.com

Election relocation headaches

We have heard a lot about poor voter turnout for the May 21 election. It is ironic because the location of our new polling place seemed designed as an obstacle course to discourage voting. If we did not live in Del Rey, I would strongly suspect it was an attempt at voter suppression.

I have lived in the Del Rey area for the past 36 years. During that time, our polling place has alternated between Short Avenue Elementary School, the clubhouse of the condos on Maxella Avenue near Alla Road, or the Marriott Hotel. For this election, it was at a new location, the Mirabella Apartments Clubhouse at 13701 Marina Pointe Drive.

Marina Pointe Drive is the name of Maxella when it crosses Lincoln Boulevard into Marina del Rey. The street is merely an access route to the huge apartment buildings and the underground parking for their tenants.

My next-door neighbor, who has some difficulty with mobility, asked if I could give her a ride to the new site. Since there is no parking on Marina Pointe, I parked in the Ralphs parking lot.

We traversed Marina Pointe Drive and the circular driveway several times to arrive at the tall building, only to discover that the Mirabella Apartments are tucked behind the large buildings, down what looked like an alley but is still, presumably, Marina Pointe Drive.

Arrows printed on sheets of white paper and affixed to various poles flapped in the breeze as we tried to find our way. By the time we reached our destination, which was upstairs, my poor neighbor had to walk about half a mile.

It turned out that voters were allowed to park in one of the underground lots of the buildings there. Who knew? When we returned home, my neighbor phoned another elderly friend across the street to alert her to the set-up. Although she was able to finally park in the underground garage, she had a difficult time locating the Mirabella Apartments from her car because some of the signs had blown down.

While I appreciate the hospitality offered by the Mirabella Apartments, I feel sure that most voters from Del Rey were equally dismayed by the inconvenience of this new site. I hope they will do as I have, and let the County Registrar-Recorder know how they feel. My neighbor got no answer when she called the telephone number provided. I was more successful by making contact at their website: http:// clerk.lacity.org/elections.

Traveling through Marina is an ‘obstacle course’

I have lived in the Marina for two years now and I can’t remember one single day when there wasn’t road construction on either Via Marina or Admiralty Way. Over the past few months, I’ve watched workers tear up the road between Panay Way and Marquesas Way, only to repave it, then days later a different group tear it up again. What’s going on?

Do not any of the Public Works departments communicate with each other?

It’s an obstacle course out there and I see near-miss accidents every day. I’m exhausted from the lack of traffic flow in a neighborhood area that should have minimal traffic.

Is this a question of job security? Are members of the public sector making sure they get paychecks during a difficult economy? Or is it Public Works managers who have no clue how to manage projects?

It needs to end. Get together, figure it out, minimize the destruction and waste, and let us travel without obstacles.

Another Door closes...

Keyboardist Ray Manzarek dies at 74 Bobby Klein/ DOORS PROPERTY, LLC

Manzarek enlists transcendental meditation class buddy John Densmore to drum, while Morrison wrangles guitarist Robby Krieger. With that, The Doors were formed.

“The riff he did in ‘Light My Fire,’ that was him,” Don Novack, the musician-friendly longtime owner of Hal’s Bar & Grill in Venice, said of Manzarek. “They were iconic Venice. They were the Venice band. Venice, at the time, was the only place musicians and artists could afford.”

Manzarek, whose distinctive, baroque keyboards on such rock masterpieces as “Light My Fire” and “Break On Through” set the L.A. band apart from pop rivals The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, died May 20 at the age of 74 in Rosenheim, Germany, where he had been receiving treatment for bile duct cancer. Manzarek is survived by his wife Dorothy, son Pablo, grandchildren Noah, Apollo and Camille, and brothers Rick and James.

In the wake of the sad news, Venice locals, such as Novack, and other Angelenos shared with The Argonaut their fondness for the legacy Manzarek and his bandmates left behind - a history The Doors at the Venice Canals, one of several shoots photographer with this community dating Bobby Klein staged with the seminal L.A. rock group.

its place). While it is popularly believed that Morrison had lived at the Morrison Apartments on Speedway and Westminster Avenue, others insist he only stayed there at Dennis Jakob’s pad, crashing on the building’s roof where he’d write songs.

After meeting Ray and Dorothy Manzarek, Morrison stayed with the couple at 147 Frasier in Ocean Park.

When he visited Venice 311 online on May 20, news of Manzarek’s death hit local realtor Denny Lyons like a gut punch.

“They’re in my car,” Lyons said of The Doors’ music, which he first heard at age 6. “When you hear that first album, it’s all Manzarek!”

Lyons, the self-proclaimed “rock ‘n’ roll realtor” who also leads the pop culture-laden “Magical Mystery Tour of Venice,” includes The Doors on his itinerary. Alongside local landmarks related to the Beatles, the Stones and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lyons takes his tourists to Rip Cronk’s Jim Morrison mural on Speedway and 18th Street, and the Morrison Apartments.

According to Lyons, references to Venice and Santa Monica abound in Morrison’s lyrics on The Doors’ classic selftitled debut.

“The blue bus is callin’ us/ Driver, where you taken’ us…C’mon baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus/Doin’ a blue rock/ On a blue bus.”

“Morrison used to take the Big Blue Bus from Windward Circle to Olivia’s,” Lyons claimed. Today a surf shop, Olivia’s was a soul food restaurant near Main Street and Ocean Park Boulevard where Morrison loved to order corn bread and ribs.

“The guy wouldn’t leave,” Lyons said. “He loved the food and the vibe, and they’d have to kick him out.”

Hence, the lyrics for another first-album track, “Soul Kitchen:” “Well, the clock says, ‘It’s time to close now’/I guess I’d better go now/I’d really like to stay here all night…Let me sleep all night in your/ soul kitchen!”

Lyons, who enjoyed a chance conversation with Ray and Dorothy Manzarek at a Beverly Hills-area car wash in 2002, observed how the other Doors were as adept musicians as

Morrison was a front man.

“Morrison had these songs in his head but he could not convey them on paper,” Lyons said.

“They had to take what Morrison had in his head and tried to transpose chord progressions from his singing.”

Venice-based photographer Guy Webster shot the now-iconic cover for that debut album. He remembers being “taken by the whole group” when the band showed up at Webster’s studio on Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills.

“They come in,” Webster recalled, “and absolutely, Jim is the star. He’s comfortable, he’s posing, he’s the star. I knew immediately and I connected with that.”

Webster had already met Manzarek at UCLA in philosophy class. Cut to six weeks before the January 1967 debut of “The Doors.”

“I told him I played organ,” Jaffee said. “I asked him about a rare farfisa I was going to buy and if he had any advice.

He talked to me for over five minutes and I couldn’t help but daze out while he spoke,

thinking of what a sweet dude he was, even talking to a wacky teenager fan.”

Cartoons of a young ‘Lizard King’ “They did a lot of drawing and writing together, mostly juvenile depictions of naked women and grotesque faces in the style of Don Martin of MAD Magazine,” Dugar said.

Even in his mid-teens, Morrison exhibited his trademark sense of mischief.

“He was always sort of a clown, a prankster,” Dugar said.

Morrison only lived in Alameda for two years, but the work they created during that time was saved by Ford, who was later approached by Danny Sugerman (the Doors’ former assistant and later their biographer with “No One Gets Out of Here Alive,” considered the definitive biography on Morrison).”

These images have never been published before, Dugar said.

spoken and educated,” he said. “As was Jim. “Jim was wearing a $3 shirt with ribbons he had found on Venice Beach and it wasn’t sexy. I told him to take off his shirt. He did this Christ-like pose and that’s what happened.”

Webster had free reign on the cover photo shoot, which Elektra Records did not interfere with. It was Webster’s idea to enlarge Morrison’s visage, juxtaposing him against the other three as smaller full figures.

“I knew to put Jim’s face up front so the teenage girls can dream about it,” Webster said. “When I get a group in front of the camera, either the Stones or the Mamas and Papas, the first time, it’s easy.

It’s the second time that’s tough. They fight.”

On the day Manzarek died, photographer Bobby Klein, now residing in Mexico, “got inundated with 150 emails: ‘Did you hear? Did you know?”

The reason: Klein shot the Doors on five different assignments, including a famous Venice Beach session.

Klein saw two sides of Manzarek - the one before they were to break on through to the other side…the other, decades later.

“They were sweet,” he said of the band pre-fame. “They had no idea if they would make it or not. Ray was the elder statesman. He got a lot of respect, but he would pontificate and eyes would roll.

They liked each other. There was a great deal of affection. This is before Jim started drinking. They weren’t stars yet. They were a band.”

But Klein added how, in recent years, Manzarek sounded bitter.

“Ray was not the most pleasant fellow,” Klein said. “I liked him, I thought he was great, but toward the end, he was really pissed off. At John Densmore, at Oliver Stone (Manzarek disliked the filmmaker’s 1991 biopic “The Doors,” on which Klein was an advisor).”

On Klein’s first Doors assignment, the band heard themselves on the car radio for the first time (their inaugural single, “Break On Through,” and Klein recalled, “They were jazzed!”), adding “it turned out Jim lived next door.”

Klein lived on Laurel Pass, just behind the Canyon Store, as did Morrison.

One of today’s rock bands benefiting from the Doors’ cultural legacy is L.A.based rock band The Wallflowers, fronted

by Jakob Dylan, whose father, singer/ songwriter Bob Dylan, was a superstar contemporary of the Doors.

“Ray Manzarek embodied great band spirit and possessed a completely unique voice on keyboards that will continue to influence musicians and music lovers forever,” said Wallflowers bassist Greg Richling, whose band tours with the Counting Crows in June.

Fellow Wallflowers founding member Rami Jaffee has an even more profound connection to Manzarek a his band’s keyboardist. Jaffee, who moonlights with Foo Fighters, called Manzarek’s passing “sad, sad, sad. Ray was my Ray Charles.

When I was barely 10, I was obsessed with the ‘Light My Fire’ intro and solo and laid it out hardcore at the Fairfax High School talent show.”

PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED cartoons such as this (above), created by the late Doors frontman Jim Morrison when he was a teenager in Alameda, were saved by his friend Fud Ford and show Morrison’s sense of mischief.

What’s interesting, in hindsight, is that these lost objets d’art reflect the irreverence and ribald humor that characterized Morrison’s all-too-brief tenure as leader of The Doors before he was found dead at 27 in 1971.

“You look at it and you go, it’s 1958,” Dugar said. “We all go through that stage with MAD magazine. That’s pure Americana.”§ Michael@ArgonautNews.com May 30, 2013 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 9

Heal the Bay joins tribute to honor local African-American surfer Photo by Gary Walker

wave.

Heal the Bay became a part of this year’s celebration through a series of connections with people who are familiar with Gabaldòn’s legacy - Allison Rose Jefferson, a historic preservationist, and Rick Blocker, a historian of the Black Surfers Association.

Jefferson was introduced

by Blocker to Meredith McCarthy, who is in charge of the environmental organization’s Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Environments initiative.

“Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Environments strives to always connect the inland community with the coast, because we are deeply connected through our storm drain system, through the economy, and so many other connections,” McCarthy said. “Meeting Allison and talking about the Bay Street site that is sometimes called ‘the Inkwell’ really started to connect the African-American stewardship in so many of the communities that we’ve worked in like Compton and Watts.”

The June 1 event will begin along a historic stretch of beach in Santa Monica where AfricanAmerican families came to frolic and enjoy the ocean breezes since the 1920s, an area which the City Council paid tribute to five years ago.

On Feb. 14, 2008, approximately 100 people gathered at Bay Street and Ocean Front Walk in Santa Monica for the commemoration of a plaque recognizing the historic significance of what was once known as “Inkwell Beach,” where Gabaldòn reportedly learned some of his early moves and eventually earned his way into the broader surf culture on the Westside.

PAGE 10 THE ARGONAUT May 30, 2013

MARCUS CHAPMAN is a Los Angeles County lifeguard who is an avid surfer and traveler. He has journeyed to many locations around the world looking for the “perfect wave.”

Portrait by Richard Wyatt

By Gary Walker The name Nicholas Gabaldòn might not be recognizable to many Southern Californians, but among certain denizens of one of the region’s most iconic subcultures, he is a symbol of skill and akin to a trailblazer in a sport known for its insular nomenclature and rituals.

Gabaldòn was an AfricanAmerican surfer who rode the waves between Santa Monica and Malibu in the 1930s and 1940s. He reportedly penetrated the Los Angeles surf culture and informally integrated the ranks of local surfers at a time when African-Americans were often not welcome at some of the area beaches.

Gabaldòn was tragically killed in a surfing accident when he struck the Malibu Pier in 1951.

To help celebrate his legacy, Santa Monica-based Heal the Bay is joining with the Black Surfers Collective Saturday, June 1 in Santa Monica beginning at 10 a.m. for “Nicholas Gabaldòn Day,” which will feature free swimming lessons, a beach exploration, a historical exhibit on beach culture and AfricanAmericans, activities at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium and a lifeguard boat exhibition and water show, among other activities.

County Supervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas and Zev Yaroslavsky, who represents Santa Monica, have been invited to join the celebration.

This will be the second commemoration of Gabaldòn, a Santa Monica High School graduate and pioneering surfer who sought the same excitement that many of his contemporaries, past and present, wanted then and now: to catch the perfect

Former Santa Monica Mayor Nathaniel Trives spent time at “Inkwell” as a teenager growing up in the beach city.

“I feel that this is a very positive step for the city. I had some good times here,” recalled Trives, who attended the 2008 ceremony.

Jeff Williams, a member of the Black Surfers Collective, a Southern California AfricanAmerican surfing club, was taught by Blocker to surf and through him learned about Gabaldòn.

“He used to have to paddle his board from the ‘Inkwell’ 12 miles up the coast to Malibu to surf because he didn’t have access to the white beaches of Malibu,” Williams said.

Williams said he decided to create a day commemorating Gabaldòn after seeing a short by Nike on the trailblazing surfer called “12 Miles North,” which chronicled Gabaldòn’s trek from Santa Monica to Malibu. “It was a small tribute day where we were going to give free surf lessons and commemorate other black surfers that we have lost,” Williams explained.

“12 Miles North” will be shown at the event.

According to Williams, June 1 was chosen because it is believed to be the closest weekend date to when Gabaldòn died.

“I really have enjoyed the process of working with Heal the Bay because they have been so open to exploring new ideas to engage people,” said Jefferson.

“It’s refreshing to see that there are organizations that are aware of how to engage broader audiences.”

Councilman Kevin McKeown said he was familiar with Gabaldòn and his importance to surfing, to Inkwell Beach and to Santa Monica. “I’m happy to have played some role in helping to get that commemorative plaque installed,” the councilman said.

“Nick’s parents were black and Hispanic, and while a Samohi student he learned how to surf at Inkwell Beach. It’s hard to imagine today what it meant for a young man of color to become one of the pioneers in a sport that was about to become symbolic of the best of Southern California.

“As the existence of ‘Inkwell Beach’ reveals, the beach in the 1940s was as racially segregated as the rest of America,” McKeown continued.

“Motorists were hesitant to stop for a black surfer hitchhiking, so Nick famously would paddle his

surfboard across Santa Monica Bay to ride the bigger breaks at Malibu.”

Jefferson said integrating the various important elements of monitoring the environment, the sport and culture of surfing and the historical aspect of AfricanAmerican life and its history in the abovementioned two areas are what she finds intriguing about Nicholas Gabaldòn Day. “For young people, I’m really happy that we’re engaging them in a number of ways,” said Jefferson, who created the event’s history exhibit. “Seeing how these different events relate together is a way of broadening people’s horizons and we need to realize that in terms of the regional history we have a shared heritage in the area and all of it is relative to our experiences.”

Williams thanked Jefferson for attracting sponsors to this year’s event such as the Santa Monica Conservancy, the California Historical Society, Rusty’s on the Pier and Los Angeles County.

“She has taken our small

little thing in one year to something that is completely brandable and should be fantastic for years to come,” he said.

“Nick, being of both black and Mexican descent is the ideal role mode for our group,” Williams added. “Even though the vast majority of our members are black, our motto is ‘Diversity in the Lineup.’”

McKeown believes Gabaldòn’s legacy goes beyond his skills on a surfboard. The councilman likened him to a latter-day trailblazer and quoted a portion of the bridge of a popular Beach Boys song to highlight Gabaldòn’s importance to local history.

“Before surfing became a craze, before the civil rights movement, before we had a black president, Nick Gabaldòn, right here in Santa Monica, broke all the stereotypes and proved that when you catch a wave, you’re sitting on top of the world,” McKeown said.

Museum consultant by day, noir dramatist by night, Venice man helps low-income kids get their science on

By Michael Aushenker Every other Saturday morning, Venice resident Ben Dickow grabs a cup of coffee from Groundwork and heads over to Rose Avenue and Fourth Street, where he utilizes a community room to help area kids from low-income housing experience some hands-on science.

Founded by Dickow, the Westside Science Club non-profit works in partnership with the Venice Community Housing Corporation (VCHC), a nonprofit low-income housing group. Dickow and the kids, ages 8-13, launch water rockets and egg drops, and build small robots. About six months ago, Cal Tech researchers specializing in solar chemistry became involved, enhancing the experience for the children, Dickow says.

Dickow calls himself “a facilitator, not a teacher.”

“My Westside kids rarely go crosstown to the Griffith Observatory (or other science venues),” he said. “The idea is to bring (science) to the Venice and Mar Vista kids.”

Science has always been a social avenue for Dickow, who met Laurel, his wife of three years, while they shared a brief stint at the California Science Center in 2004.

Originally from Villa Park, Ill., the University of Chicago graduate studied literature and physics. The Chicago native, who moved out from his artsy Wicker Park neighborhood to like-minded Venice back in 2000, has never left the beachside community ever since.

“When I lived in Wicker Park,” he said, “it was a big art colony. Venice felt like that neighborhood except with the sun and the palm trees and the beach.”

Dickow loves his area but he has also witnessed a gentrification over the past

dozen years.

“There is definitely a change going on,” he said. “It’s more Eastside hipster.

Things (such as rent) are way more expensive than it used to be. A lot of new restaurants aren’t speaking to large portions of the neighborhood - the poorer portions.”

Since moving out west, Dickow has fallen into a career as a museum consultant, applying his expertise to non-traditional spaces. He is the director of informal science at the Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education.

Dickow’s childhood love for comic books, inherited from his father, a big Marvel Comics reader, reveals a whole other side to Dickow that, most recently, has been showcased at El Cid, the venerable Los Feliz Mexican digs with the mariachi floor show.

Back in Chicago, Dickow started Captured Aural Phantasy Theater, which re-enacts old crime and horror issues from comics’ Golden Age in a radio drama style for semi-camp effect. There’s no need to push too hard to wring laughs out of howlers such as a 1952 Crime Smashers story, “Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective” from Trojan Comics or “Small Guy,” a 1952 tale from EC Comics’ Shock and Suspense Stories.” (Most famously known for “Tales From the Crypt,” the EC imprint published the comics which had Sen. Joe McCarthy witch-hunting the entire industry as youth corruptors in the 1950s.)

“The secret is not to do it campy,” he said. “It’s just to say the words as straight as possible because all of the comedy is there.”

The retro evening of fun dubbed “A Night of Noir” also includes wife Laurel

performing old chestnuts with a spooky patina and Dickow’s surf band the Noble Gasses, who are scheduled to play on the back of a flatbed truck at Santa Barbara’s July Fourth parade on State Street.

Dickow recreated Captured Aural Phantasy Theater in the late 1990s back in Chi-Town soon after a Chicago bud of his moved out to L.A. Outside of their regular monthly El Cid gig, the group recently performed at the fifth anniversary of GHOULA (Ghost Hunters of Urban Los Angeles) on the roof of the famed Oviatt Building in downtown L.A., and previously played Alexandria Hotel’s

Court Ballroom in the late 2000s as downtown’s Art Walk gained traction.

“All of us do this because we really love it,” said Dickow, who aspires to see the show go to Broadway or air on television.

For information on Westside Science Club, visit vchc.org. Captured Aural Phantasy Theater will perform on Sunday, June 2, at 8:30 p.m. at El Cid, 4212 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles.

The Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica will hold its inaugural Cinema at the Edge Independent Film Festival Thursday through Sunday, May 30 through June 2nd.

Cinema at the Edge will screen independent films of all genres. Attendees can also enjoy exclusive panels hosted by the filmmakers, writers, producers and distributors behind said films.

“We’re delighted to give independent filmmakers an opportunity to screen their films in a community setting on the Westside,” said artistic director and festival founder Michelle Danner.

“Surrounded by beautiful beaches, bustling restaurants, bars, retail shops and constant foot traffic, what the Westside has to offer filmmakers and cinephiles will be quite different from what you’ll find in THE CINEMA AT THE EDGE FILM FESTIVAL at the Edgemar Center for the Hollywood.”

Arts in Santa Monica will screen independent films of all genres including The Edgemar Center will present “Knuckle Jack,” (above) starring Zelda Adams and John Adams, on the opening

four days of screenings, parties and artist programs celebrating independent filmmaking. Films will compete in narrative feature, documentary and short film categories for jury and audience awards.

Winners will have the opportunity to screen their film for industry professionals in international film production and distribution.

“Many films that screen at the larger film festivals don’t immediately catch fire and tend to fall through the cracks,” said festival co-director Jason Chase Tyrrell.

“We want to give these exceptional films another chance to connect with audiences and to gain exposure and additional opportunities for global distribution.”

Edgemar Center for the Arts is at 2437 Main St., Santa Monica.

SADAA

(SISTAHS AGAINST DRUG & ALCOHOL ABUSE) SADAA, a gospel music group which grew out of its women’s recovery from addiction, now serves as a ministry focused on helping women.

As a result of their involvement in the town hall meeting at Marla Gibbs Vision Theater, where Congresswoman Maxine Waters invited SADAA to perform, their story was featured in the San Jose Mercury Newspaper and on BET News.

To date, their most rewarding achievements have included performing in Washington, D.C. at the 2012 International Women’s AA Convention; winning first place in the Group category of the 1998 McDonald’s Gospelfest competition; and a singing part in the Christmas movie “How To Marry A Billionaire,” which aired in 2000 on Fox TV…and, above all, staying clean and sober, one day at a time. To God be the Glory!

SADAA has been together for almost 20 years, which is a blessing in itself as there was a time when they couldn’t stay clean or sober for 20 days at a time!

Their primary goal now is to elevate public awareness about this sacrilegious epidemic. They are on a spiritual journey, planting seeds of hope along the way and proving that “women do recover!!”

Hal’s Bar & Grill

1349 Abbot Kinney Blvd.

Venice. 310-396-3105.

Shopping mall developers spend a lot of time choosing their anchor tenant – a large business that will set the tone for the whole project. If the first thing that is announced is a large jewelry store or a high fashion clothier, it is believed that other upscale businesses will follow.

If that big lease is to a Wal-Mart or the 99 Cent Store discount outlet, the whole development could become less desirable.

Either way, the small stores wait to see who the anchor tenant is before making a commitment.

Hal’s Bar & Grill in Venice might be regarded as the anchor tenant for the Abbot Kinney Boulevard neighborhood, the place that set the tone for a rundown neighborhood to go upscale and artsy. When the former sandwich shop was reinvented into a stylish grill with live entertainment 25 years ago, it caused the cultural shift that property developers dream of. Hal’s hasn’t changed much since, which might be a cause for concern: fashions change in both retail and restaurants, and one might wonder if the magic could wear off.

When I went for lunch, the bright spacious restaurant was half full – not bad for a Wednesday just after opening.

The menu followed the pattern that seems to have been consistent since opening day American favorites done very competently, plus some dishes that follow current trends at a respectful distance. As far as I can tell, Hal’s has never been the place for outrageous or bizarre ideas; the art on the walls is more avant-garde than the food on the plates.

On one visit I tried a roasted duck salad while my companion had a turkey burger. The salad used tatsoi - a leafy green related to mustard and broccoli - rather than lettuce; the slight bitterness of the leaves was offset by the mango slices, snap peas and sweet grated carrot, with the flavors of peanuts and duck adding interest and body. It was served with an apricot dressing that I requested on the side, fearing it would be too sweet. It had a mild flavor and some spice to balance the fruity flavors, so it didn’t overpower the mix.

I continued with a turkey

burger, not one of my usual favorite items because I usually find ground turkey dry unless mixed with other meats. My companion insisted this one would change my mind, and lots of people agree with him – the “Hal’s Turkey Burger” Facebook page has 2,071 “likes” as of this writing, and an active online social life for a lump of protein between slices of bread. I will admit that this is as stellar as turkey gets – not just that the patty was moist and flavorful, but the chipotle tartar sauce, arugula, and red onion add so much to it that it is a joy to eat. It is served with a decent Caesar salad or fries, and is a good-sized lunch or dinner for 13 bucks.

On a second visit I sampled an item that has been on the menu since the early days black bean and roasted tomatillo soup. In a review from 1988, the Los Angeles Times author complained that this was too bland, and the recipe evidently hasn’t changed; it was curiously flat, like it had been under-salted, and the spices were a whisper.

My vegetarian companion had ordered it hoping for some Caribbean spice and zip, but was disappointed – salt and pepper helped, but not enough.

He continued with seared tofu over brown rice and black beans with zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and sunflower seeds, which were topped with a mild tomato sauce. This was considerably better than the soup, but it could have used a dash of the chipotle sauce

that had adorned my burger.

Obviously some patrons here enjoy this dish subtle, centering on the vegetable flavors, but it would be nice to have the option of a mild or spicy sauce.

This time I had a regular burger just to see how it compared with the turkey version, and my prejudices were reaffirmed – it had the umami and slight char that make it an American favorite. The fries that came with it also hit the spot – they were very fresh-tasting and crisp, exactly the way I like them.

On other visits I have tried a farro salad that was so good that I have attempted to replicate it at home, and their excellent grilled chicken in pomegranate masala, which showed that this kitchen can use bold spices with subtlety.

These affirm that Hal’s still has all the virtues that made it a hit in the first place.

The prices on everything here are surprisingly moderate and the portions are substantial, which has to help keep this place popular. The neighborhood has changed, which is good, but Hal’s hasn’t, which is even better.

Hal’s Bar & Grill is at 1349 Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice.

Celebrating National Older Americans Month in May 2013

WISE & Healthy Aging enhances the independence, dignity and quality of life of older adults through leadership, advocacy and innovative services. www.wiseandhealthyaging.org

THANK YOU, WISE & HEALTHY AGING for providing such valuable services for older adults in our community.

A nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis.

Since 1963, every President since JFK has proclaimed May as Older Americans Month. This year’s theme “Connecting the Community,” celebrates the many ways in which older adults bring inspiration and continuity to the fabric of our communities. For more than 40 years, WISE & Healthy Aging (formerly WISE Senior Services and the Center for Healthy Aging) has been recognized for its innovative support programs and services designed to meet the needs of seniors, caregivers, and professionals in the aging field.

WISE & Healthy Aging Launches Caregiver Training Academy Featuring Microlending Component The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) announced an award of over $3.5 million funding to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and its Springdale-based Schmieding Center for Senior Health and Education to support the development and dissemination of enhanced home caregiver training.

“WISE & Healthy Aging is proud to be working in collaboration with UAMS to implement this innovative

caregiver training project in California,” says Grace Cheng Braun, president and CEO of WISE & Healthy Aging. “Currently, there are not enough direct home care workers, and the overwhelming majority of them have little or no formal training.

As the number of dependent elders continues to grow, especially those over 80 years of age, the demand for quality caregivers will be dramatic.”

As chairman of the WISE & Healthy Aging Board of Directors, Santa Monica-based attorney Tom Larmore sees the fine work of the outstanding volunteers and staff who carry out the nonprofit mission of WISE & Healthy Aging. Programs and services enable seniors to live independently for as long as possible, and demand for services is up, from adult day care, healthy lunches, counseling for seniors and caregivers, in-home care management and transportation.

WISE & Healthy Aging has administered the City and County of Los Angeles Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program since 1981, the largest ombudsman program in the nation, advocating for the rights of disabled adults and senior residents in long-term care facilities throughout Los Angeles. Trained ombudsmen are also called upon to serve as the preliminary investigators of any

allegations of abuse or neglect in these facilities.

A newer program that WISE & Healthy Aging has launched is the Benefits Enrollment Center, a first in California, which helps seniors navigate the bureaucratic maze of public benefits programs for which most seniors are eligible.

Mr. Larmore joins with fellow board directors in the governance of WISE & Healthy Aging in the fulfillment of its mission. Partner at Harding Larmore Kutcher & Kozal, LLP, Mr. Larmore has practiced real estate finance law for more than 30 years. A resident of Santa Monica, he is an active member of the Rotary Club of Santa Monica and past chairman of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce.

“Low income seniors in Los Angeles County face enormous barriers in applying for benefits to which they are entitled. The system is fragmented, complex and difficult to navigate, and having the additional barrier of language and culture makes it that much more difficult,” Cheng Braun said. “So we are extremely

pleased to have the UniHealth Foundation’s support for this outreach into the Hispanic community.”

Over a two-year period, the UniHealth Foundation grant will make possible the training of program staff and volunteers and the establishment of partnerships with community-based organizations in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley — a key to assisting these low-income seniors access benefits such as the Medicare Savings Program, Medicare Low Income Subsidy, Medi-Cal, utility discounts and CalFresh (food stamps).

Off the bluff

Westchester volunteers help make over home of family facing struggle Westchester Playa Village pitches in for residents; Courageous Citizens Awards

By Geoff Maleman Behind every home there is a story, and the story of Karen Ricks and her family can be considered both uplifting and heart-breaking.

For many years, Karen and Tim Ricks and their three children were intimately involved in the Westchester community. Tim attended Loyola Marymount University, where he met his future bride, Karen. He worked in the computer lab (where he honed the computer skills with which he made his career), and sang in the university’s renowned men’s chorus.

After graduation, he initially worked for Phidippides shoe store, then Continental Airlines, and finally Information Builders, where he stayed nearly 30 years, making friends inside and outside the company, and around the world.

As a young man, he discovered the sport of triathlon, ran in 10K races and half marathons, and rode his bike in several “century” rides.

More recently, he was a regular at the Westchester Family YMCA. From Boy Scouts and Knights of Columbus to Westchester Lariats and Visitation School, the Ricks family could be found helping others.

Then, tragedy struck.

On July 31, 2011, while attending a family reunion, Tim suffered a massive heart attack and died.

The money from a small insurance policy has run out, and Karen, a homemaker for more than a decade, found herself with two daughters in college and a son ready to graduate from high school, but without a full-time job. Finding it harder and harder to make ends meet, Karen has not been able to complete the myriad of home improvement projects Tim would normally handle, and her family’s home has been affected.

Although their bond as a family has not wavered during this time

Handy J

of uncertainty, their home on West 82nd Street has suffered, and from paint and flooring to landscaping and a variety of repairs, the Ricks’ home is desperately in need of some real tender loving care.

The Ricks are being treated to a Mammoth Mountain vacation, while volunteers from the Rotary Club of Westchester and throughout the community roll up their sleeves and paint and landscape their home.

Thanks to major contributions from the William H. Hannon Foundation, the Drollinger Family Charitable Foundation, the Westchester Woman’s Club, the Westchester Rotary Foundation and many others, the Ricks will return to new paint, new flooring, new landscaping and plenty of additional surprises.

Work on the home at 6638 W. 82nd St. in Westchester (just west of Emerson Avenue) begins at 9 a.m. each day and continues during daylight hours until the afternoon of Sunday, June 2, when the Ricks will return to their “new” home. Volunteers are encouraged to stop by to donate an hour or an entire day. Those interested in volunteering can contact Warren Bobrow at (310) 670-4175, or warren@allaboutperformance.biz.

“We are hopeful this project will inspire others like it in our community,” said Westchester Rotary President Cindy Williams.

“In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often fail to realize how fortunate we all are, so it will be a privilege to help Karen and her family make their home warm, comfortable and livable again.”

Those interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the project can make checks payable to Westchester Rotary Foundation and mail them to P.O. Box 91543, Los Angeles, CA 90009.

WESTCHESTER PLAYA VILLAGE PITCHES IN TO

HELP The local community recently came together to help longtime Westchester residents, John and Irene McKeegan. The McKeegans have lived in Westchester since 1972, when they bought and moved into a house just several doors down from the home where Irene grew up. Irene’s parents, Nita and Earl Eddy, were the original owners of their home on 88th Place which they bought in 1953. Irene and her brother, Michael, both attended Loyola Village Elementary School, Orville Wright Junior High, and graduated from Westchester High School. Earl Eddy passed away in 1979, and Irene was caring for both her mother and brother at this home, until their recent passing.

After selling her parents’ house, Irene found herself faced with the massive task of cleaning out a home that had accumulated 60 years of possessions. Both John and Irene are retired, still active and able to drive, but they knew they needed help. There were many boxes, pieces of furniture, and other belongings that needed to be moved to storage, down the street to their own home, or donated. It would require a lot of coordination, heavy lifting and they did not have resources readily available for such a project.

Westchester Playa Village (WPV) supported this project by pulling together not only WPV volunteers, but by coordinating efforts among several communitybased organizations and service clubs. They said this task provided benefits that extended beyond just WPV and the McKeegans: The Westchester Rotary Club picked up and received over 30 boxes of books for their Book Fair; The American Cancer Society picked up and received a dozen pieces of furniture and other household items; A community service fraternity

Q&A

Q: What is alternative energy technology?

A: In recent years, new energy technologies designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels have started appearing in homes. As they become more popular, you’re more and more likely to encounter homes equipped with systems like geothermal and solar panels. Here’s a primer on those and other less-known technologies.

Solar energy. Solar panel systems come in a wide array of configurations, including panels that mount on a home’s roof and panels that mount on poles outside the home.

Grid-tie solar systems connect to the local electrical utility’s grid to power the home at night, or at times when the home is drawing more electricity than its solar system can produce. In some areas, grid-tie systems allow the homeowner to sell power back to the utility when their system produces a surplus.

Off-grid systems are designed to provide a home’s electrical supply without the need for a connection to the power grid. Such systems

include a battery bank that recharges during the day and provides power for the home at night.

These systems are ideal for remote properties.

The high cost of home solar systems once put them out of reach of many homeowners. But in recent years, solar leasing and power purchase agreements (PPAs) have made solar a much more affordable option.

Solar lease agreements allow a homeowner to rent solar systems and avoid the high upfront costs.

In a power purchase agreement, the homeowner lets the provider install a solar system on their home and then purchases the electricity generated by the system from the provider. The availability of solar leasing and PPAs varies depending on the home’s location, but both are seen as more affordable options than purchasing a solar system, which can run well into five figures.

You may have also heard of “passive solar” systems, which use the sun’s light directly to

provide home heating or hot water. Passive solar systems do not generate electricity, but they can be employed to reduce a home’s overall energy use.

If you are looking for a home with a solar System, be sure to find out whether it’s a grid-tied system or not, whether it’s owned or leased, or whether a PPA is in effect. Also inquire about the age of the system, as solar panels can lose efficiency over time.

Geothermal energy. A geothermal system employs special pipes that are buried deep underground where the earth’s temperature is constant. Depending on the location, that temperature typically ranges from 50°-60°F, which is warmer than the outside temperature in the winter and cooler than the outside temperature in the summer.

Therefore, a geothermal system can be used both to cool a home in the summer and to warm a home during the winter.

When used for home heating, the system works

by circulating fluid through the underground pipes to absorb heat. The warmed fluid returns to the surface where it is used to heat the home. There are different types of geothermal systems, but they all employ a similar process of heat exchange.

In the summer, the process is reversed – the fluid absorbs heat from the home at the surface before being circulated underground, where the cool earth acts as a heat sink, cooling the fluid.

Like solar, the upfront cost of installing a geothermal system has been a barrier to widespread adoption of the technology. However,, new companies that provide specialized financing have sprung up, putting such systems within reach of homeowners interested in reducing their energy use.

This week’s question was answered by Linda Black, Coldwell Banker, (310) 804-6432.

(Letters continued from page 7)

Many neighbors never asked for LMU parking charges

Re: “Master plan document shows homeowners asked LMU to charge for parking” (Argonaut, May 23).

In the article about Loyola Marymount University parking there are some whoppers of misinformation. The very title of the article misleads the reader: Master plan document shows homeowners asked LMU to charge for parking. While it may be true that some homeowners put for this suggestion, for whatever reason they had, the huge majority did not.

I quote this paragraph, “LMU officials seem perplexed that some residents who live within blocks of the university’s south gate on Loyola Boulevard are now complaining about recommendations that a representative group made on many of their behalf.” (sic) Later, the same article quotes Richard Hofmeister, “Thank your for your professional courtesy service and on behalf of the McConnell Quality of Life Group we sincerely appreciate the hard work you and others in (the Department of City) Planning (sic) have done and will continue to do to make LMU’s master plan a rousing success. . . . . The long sentence concludes by saying that Hofmeister represented the homeowners group cited above in master plan negotiations with the university during the planning process.

Did the homeowners’ recommendation for paid parking on campus originate in this group, voiced through its spokesman, Hofmeister?

This recommendation has nothing to do with the streets that lie south of LMU. Over the years the residents of McConnell Avenue have had their own problems with the university,

Hair by Yelena Experienced Stylist Master of Color & Hair Extensions Permanent Makeup

which has made large concessions on at least two of the issues.

My wife and I have lived 46 years on Georgetown Avenue, seven houses south of West 80th, the street that runs east-west on the south border of LMU. McConnell runs north-south on the east border of LMU. I have never heard anyone on our street say that they have authorized the McConnell Quality of Life Group to speak for them on any matter.

The article says, “But a document obtained by The Argonaut shows that a group of residents representing the interests of the homeowners, largely from McConnell Avenue, actually were the ones who recommended that the Jesuit University charge parking fees and help create a permit parking district.”

Let me be clear, the people on McConnell, whatever their desires might be, have not been given authorization by the people I know on Georgetown to represent them, and I know most of them. Kathleen Flanagan, LMU vice president of communications and government relations, is quoted as saying, “There’s a lot of misinformation out there.” She goes on to say in the quote that some of the same people who suggested terms of the master plan agreement are now protesting their own solution. I suggest that Flanagan is not only objecting to misinformation but spreading it.

Perhaps I should say where I stand in this town-gown controversy: in the middle. I am a professor emeritus of LMU. My wife earned her teaching credential by taking classes on campus. Both of my sons are graduates of the university.

I considered it a great privilege to teach in the philosophy department for30 years. I have wonderful memories from the years I spent on campus.

Venice

Local educators honored with WaVe Awards The Venice Chamber of Commerce Education Committee presented its Third Annual WaVe Awards earlier this month to 13 educators in the Venice area to recognize their achievements in and beyond the classroom.

The WaVe Awards were launched in 2011 by the chamber’s education committee to acknowledge the contributions teachers make every day to the children of Venice and the surrounding areas.

“As citizens of the world, when we’re enthusiastic and share the pleasures and joys of learning with children, our collective ability to change the world for the better is within our reach,” said Joelle Dumas, president of the Venice chamber’s education committee.

The inaugural awards celebrated teachers for “Creative Engagement,” while this year’s honors celebrated “Nurturing Minds from the Ground Up.” The teachers are nominated and selected by their peers for excellence and recognized at an

awards dinner, where they are introduced by their principal or a fellow teacher and presented with a plaque and a gift bag with donations from local sponsoring businesses.

The local teachers honored and their respective organizations included: A Window Between Worlds - Christy Turek; Beethoven Elementary - Sonia Ramos; Boys & Girls Club of Venice - Valentin time and under Cuellar; Broadway Elementary Mandarin Immersion Julia Watanabe; Coeur d’Alene Elementary - Cynthia Block; Ecole Claire Fontaine - Stephanie Goubert; Mark Twain Middle School- Kerry Olinger; Venice Arts - Christian Rozier; Venice High School - Shereen Nagata; Venice Lutheran - Emily Booth; Walgrove Elementary School - Lynn Webster; Westminster Elementary - Evelyn Soo; and Westside Global Awareness Magnet - Dr. M.

Second Playa Vista farmers market set to Save Your Parent’s open June 5 Home From Medi-Cal Playa Vista residents and members from their fresh fruits and vegetables on a weekday surrounding communities will soon be able to shop for fresh produce in an outdoor market on Saturdays as well as on one week day.

A second farmers market is slated to be open beginning Wednesday, June 5 at a parking lot off of Bluff Creek Drive, the same location of the Saturday farmers market.

“We’re looking at the (weekday market) to supplement the weekend farmers market,” said Mark Anderson, who runs the nonprofit organization in charge of the Playa Vista outdoor market, Sprouts of Promises Foundation.

“We wanted to give time to those who attend the Saturday farmers market to visit us during the week as well as give the people who don’t have a chance to come on the weekend a chance to get

evening,” he said.

The weekday market will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays.

“I’ve seen this market grow from where it was only Playa Vista residents to a place where people from the surrounding communities want to come,” said Anderson.

The announcement comes four years after the first market opened June 8, 2009. On Saturday, June 8, representatives of the open air market are planning special activities to commemorate its four-year anniversary.

The Wednesday market will be open on a seasonal basis, from June until October.

You must act now while your parent is alive and before new legislation takes effect.

After leading the Santa Monica College Corsairs football team to back-to-back conference championships for the first time in 30 years, quarterback Alfonso Medina has been named the 2012-13 Student Athlete of the Year.

Medina was named one of 17 SMC Student Athletes of the Year in their individual sports, but this is only the second year the college picked an overall winner. All the student athletes were selected for demonstrating scholastic achievement as much as athletic talent and persistence, SMC officials said.

The awards were presented May 23 at the annual awards breakfast sponsored by the SMC General Advisory Board, a community support group.

Medina, who is currently at Weber State University in Utah, threw more than 60 touchdown passes, breaking the career record at SMC as well as for a single season. He was chosen First Team All-Pacific Conference and First Team All-California Region 6 and 2012 Offensive Player of the Year.

“Alfonso Medina is an exemplary young person with a bright future ahead of him,” said SMC Community Relations Director Judy Neveau, who organized the awards event.

“Alfonso comes from a supportive family and has two younger brothers who look up to him as

Medina is majoring in applied mathematics and is planning to continue on to graduate school and become a civil engineer.

SMC football player named Student Athlete of the Year

Local coastlines make Heal the Bay’s Beach Report Card ‘Honor Roll’ Los Angeles County beaches continue to demonstrate improved summertime water quality, according to Heal the Bay’s 23rd annual Beach Report Card, which the Santa Monica environmental group released May 23.

Seven beaches in Los Angeles County were placed on Heal the Bay’s “Honor Roll,” meaning they scored perfect A+ grades for the report’s three time periods.

The organization assigns A-to-F letter grades to 89 beaches in the county based on levels of weekly bacterial pollution. Approximately 84 percent of beaches received A or B grades for the summer period, an increase of 2 percent from last year and nearly 10 percent from two years ago, Heal the Bay officials said.

Local beaches in Santa Monica, Venice and Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey all posted A+ grades during the dry season at various locations, while Santa Monica Beach received a B at the Pico/Kenter storm drain at the end of Pico Boulevard.

Marina Beach, known to local residents as “Mothers Beach” in Marina del Rey posted A grades except between the dock and the lifeguard tower, where it received a D grade.

“We are heartened by numerous individual beach success stories, but extremely dry weather is likely masking the severity of stormwater pollution,” said Kirsten James, Heal the Bay’s science and policy director for water quality. “Heal the Bay will be focusing efforts on implementation of a new regional stormwater permit to address this critical beach water quality issue.”

The county also is home to four of the 10 beaches listed on Heal the Bay’s annual “Beach Bummer” list, which ranks the most polluted beaches in the state. Avalon Beach in Catalina once again tops this year’s list.

The improvement in Los Angeles beach water quality during all three phases of the study’s 201213 reporting period can be attributed to several factors. Dry weather in Southern California played a significant role in improved winter beach water quality in Los Angeles County, Heal the Bay officials noted.

Winter dry water quality was good, with 86 percent of beaches earning an A or B grade –18 percent higher than the county’s five-year average.

And wet weather grades were 23 percent higher than in the previous report, with 57 percent earning A or B grades – 24 percent above the county’s five-year average, officials noted.

Infrastructure improvements aimed at curbing bacterial pollution have also yielded results, but two years of very low rainfall also led to improved grades, said a Heal the Bay spokeswoman.

Despite the improvements, Los Angeles County continues to have the greatest number of beaches with poor water quality grades of any county in the state, according to Heal the Bay. During the busy summer, 8 percent of beaches received D or F grades, while that figure rises to nearly 30 percent in wet weather.

Santa Monica Beach posted poor grades during wet weather at three drainage sites. Santa Monica Pier, which saw improvements in recent years, also had a D grade during wet weather and a C during the dry season.

Under rainy conditions, Dockweiler had failing grades at drains at Culver Boulevard, Ballona Creek and Imperial Highway.

Heal the Bay urges beachgoers to check the latest water quality grades, based on the latest samples, each week at beachreportcard.org.

Before heading to the shoreline, visitors can also access the latest grades on the go by downloading Heal the Bay’s free app for mobile devices.
