Saturday, October 19

C o m e a n d h e o f th e r e s ilie n u s a ll.

from 6:00-8:30 The movie “Shrek” will be shown in the lower picnic area and, as before, there will be free popcorn and cocoa offered to members of the community. Harold Henry Park was a perfect location for the showing of “Up” last spring, and we look forward to seeing both children and adults. Some chairs will be provided but attendees are encouraged to bring their own as well.

OCTOBER 2019

SECTION ONE

Downtown’s Music Center revamps its dining options As part of a massive reinvention of the public space joining the various Music Center venues, the entire food program has been reinvigorated to appeal to arts lovers and downtown denizens alike. Kendall’s Brasserie still holds court on the sidewalk level, and Cocina Roja, a Mexican café, continues adjacent to the Ahmanson, but the newly-designed plaza now boasts a number of new dining options. Coffee lovers will be happy to get a locally-roasted caffeine fix at Go Get Em Tiger (a popular choice on Larchmont Boulevard, too). Wine aficionados will find a fine selection at The Mullin Wine Bar, where cocktails and food truck fare are also available. Burgers and brews can be enjoyed at the casual Upstage Burger on the Pavilion’s east side above First Street. The centerpiece of the new food program is Abernethy’s, a lovely blonde wood and white-walled restaurant with an extensive covered patio and an innovative culinary concept: feature a different rising star chef every three months and let him or her shine. Although a revolving kitchen concept has been tried in various permutations in Los Angeles before without long-term success, it promises to be a perfect match for The Music Center — as patrons return for different theatrical productions, so, too, the chef and menu will change every 90 days or so. An impressive group of chefs and tastemakers, including Susan Feniger (Border Grill), Ray Garcia (Broken Spanish), Govind Armstrong (Post and Beam and 8oz Burger Bar), and Russ Parsons (former LA Times food editor), was tasked with identifying emerging chefs who represent the diversity of the food scene in Los Angeles. Abernethy’s inaugural chef, Shirley Chung, was the runner-up on Bravo’s Top Chef in 2016 and is the restaurateur of the Culver City favorite, Ms. Chi Café, where the flavors of her native Beijing fuse with a modern American sensibility. Before ordering at Abernethy’s, you might want to sip on one of the featured $16 cocktails: perhaps Chef Chung’s favorite, the Green Lantern, which combines Chivas Regal with lemon juice and jasmine green tea syrup, or a Hummingbird, with vodka, hibiscus flower tea, Lillet Rouge, lemon juice, raspberry cordial and Pernod. Wines are curated to complement the Chinese fusion menu, with tasting notes that run to berries and citrus. The refreshing wines are also refreshing in price: 10 are under $14 a glass. Of course, food should be shared, and two could make

On the Menu by

Helene Seifer a comfortable meal of three dishes from the dozen savories on offer. We had six — and took home enough for lunch the next day. Chicken potstickers were the most traditional dish we ordered. Five pieces for $11, they were delicious swathed in a pomegranate sweet and sour sauce. The dumpling skin was thin enough to avoid carb overload and thick enough to encase the filling with ease. Earthier, the Beijing lamb belly, $22, lined up small rectangular packets of lamb like so many dominoes. Braised, pressed and seared, the sweet meat was balanced by a black vinegar reduction and ferment-

ed leek sesame sauce. The most delightful dish was the “dancing” eggplant. Short tubes of Japanese eggplant were arrayed like soldiers and dusted with bonito flakes. The heat emanating from the cooked vegetables caused the flakes to gyrate — hence the “dancing” moniker. This dish was videoed more than eaten, however; although visually stunning, it tasted bland. Other plates more than made up for that misstep. The amus- ABERNETHY’S’ revolving star chefs will ingly named Bowl of offer a varied menu. Lipchitz “Peace on Hugs was $12 worth Earth” statue is left.

The Northern Chifloated inside. Cacio e pepe was na-style soft noodles ($14 bowl) an Asian take on the famous were bathed in a light pecorino

and tofu sauce with Sichuan peppercorns providing a hint of heat. Soft noodles tend to clump together within minutes of cooking, but the homey taste more than made up for that. It was particularly good when eaten with any of the saucier, heartier dishes, such as the lamb or the kung pao tofu. The $16 tofu came highly recommended — and deservedly so. This was our favorite dish of the night and capsulized the best of Chef Chung’s cooking style. Perfectly fried tofu cubes — crispy and caramelized outside, creamy and delicious inside — held reign over a pool of Sichuan chili-laced sauce with baby carrots providing a bright color pop and hazelnuts adding crunch. I want this every night. At least until November, when the Magic Castle’s Jason Fullilove takes over the kitchen with his fresh take on Soul Food. Abernethy’s, 220 N. Hope St., Music Center Plaza.

YESHIVAT YAVNEH

Hello everyone, My name is Alec Salatin and I will be telling you about all of the events happening at Page Academy this October! This month at Page the events will mostly be an awareness month for fire safety to drug and anti-bullying. Included in the awareness events are the LAFD fire truck presentation, where firefighters show students a firetruck and discuss their responsibilities. As part of Red Ribbon Week we will spread anti-drug awareness. During The Great California Shakeout, we do an earthquake drill. October is not just about awareness events. We also have the fall festival which is lots

Yavneh began the school year with the inauguration of a new program, #RISE, which aims to help students reach their full potential. Each of the letters in #RISE symbolizes a key ideal: The “R” stands for “rigor,” the expectation that students will push themselves into doing more difficult work and taking on challenges. The “I” represents “innovation,” asking students to employ all their creative ideas into cre-

attend. They are also preparing for Halloween by rehearsing for the play that they will put on for the school. On Oct. 27, Saint Brendan School will participate in the Larchmont Fair by hosting a dunk tank and a shaved ice stand! On the day of Halloween, kindergarten through 7th graders will participate in a Halloween parade where they will display their amazing costumes to the whole school. The parade is judged by the 8th graders who will then pick three costumes from each class to win a prize for the most creative, funniest and scariest costume!

of fun. There will be games, a haunted house, costume parade, petting zoo and more! We also have the Scholastic book fair and this month’s field trip to Tanaka Farms. So if you are looking for a new school then come and check out Page Academy. We would love to have you join our family!

ESLA head formally appointed to role Peter McCormack was formally appointed Head of School at the Episcopal School of Los Angeles (ESLA) after serving in the role in the interim for the past year. Episcopal Bishop John H. Taylor presided at the Aug. 29 installation, where McCormack was presented with a tradition-

ating new ones. Next, the “S” stands for “spirit.” Yavneh students should embody spirit and joy, bringing these ideals to the classroom and beyond. Lastly, the “E” reminds students of “empathy.” We are encouraged

to see what we can do to help our friends, classmates, and community to have a better year. In the spirit of RISE, Yavneh held an assembly with all students, grades 1-8, assigning each grade to assist one younger grade. The 8th graders also have been enjoying a lunch program, in which we meet with the Yavneh heads of school to discuss

programming and curriculum. One question that is asked of the students at the lunches is, what defines Yavneh? Most answers centered around one theme: “Our teachers have a true passion for teaching, while also building relationships with each of us.” With our teachers behind us, Yavneh students are ready to start the new year!

MARLBOROUGH By Avery Gough 8th Grade

in. We started to memorize our schedules and practice opening our lockers. Also, we had fall sports tryouts. There was volleyball, cross-country, swimming, and tennis. I made it on the purple team, which is the

higher of the two teams. For volleyball and tennis, the 7th/8th grade teams have a purple team and a white team, but for crosscountry and swimming, there are no cuts for the teams, so everybody get on those teams if they try out. At Marlborough, each grade goes on bonding retreat the second week of school. The 8th

grade went to El Capitan in Santa Barbara. We did group activities, and we also had free time to be with our friends and do different activities such as swimming and bike riding. Then in the evening we watched our fellow classmates at a talent show.

A few performances included monologues, singing, and dances. We after made smores and talked before heading out to our cabins. Now as we are heading into our third week, I am very excited to get back in the rhythm of things.

boring community, HSH takes action. We participate in planting trees, painting murals, and volunteering around Los Angeles for various acts of kindness. Throughout the years at HSH, I have done activities and exercises that have helped me develop team building skills, strategic problem-solving skills, and also social skills. As a sixth grader ambassador this year, I look forward to meeting new prospective families at my school. I am also excited for the field trips, fundraisers, events, and social activities in my final year. One of these upcoming field trips is Outdoor Education. Outdoor Ed. is a trip that the fifth and sixth grade classes attend, and this year we are going to Big Bear. It is there where we will embark on different activities, like hiking, exploring, and staying in cabins. The trip will be a good opportunity for our classes, teachers, and counselors to bond and learn more about each other through various activities and conversations.

Hello, I’m Nikhil George, and I am in 6th grade at Hollywood Schoolhouse. Some of my interests include books, movies, politics, technological engineering, basketball, tennis, and soccer. HSH has a departmentalized program, which gives the fifth and sixth graders an opportunity to be introduced early to the responsibilities of a locker, their own Chromebook, traveling from class to class, and keeping track of their required materials for core subjects. In my nine years at HSH, I have learned the importance of living in a community. The core qualities that the Hollywood Schoolhouse community teaches to students are to be safe, kind, and responsible, as well as inspire fearless curiosity and learning among all students.

story here, there is a constant feeling that there’s more there that we don’t know. Director John Crowley does an outstanding job of keeping up the pace, aided by exceptional music by Trevor Gureckis that keeps tension in the movie when you aren’t sure exactly why. All the performances are very good, which is one of the reasons the movie holds interest. If you read the book, though (I didn’t), and know the ending, it might not be as palatable. Raise Hell: The Life And Times Of Molly Ivins (7/10): Runtime 91 minutes. NR. Molly Ivins was a vitriolic political columnist as far to the left as she could get. She was a good writer and had a sense of humor. In addition to calling out the truth about the second George Bush (which was generally discounted due to her known prejudice), she admirably and bravely faced her death with equanimity and humor. It gets 7/10 because it is entertaining, in spite of its fawning partiality. Vita and Virginia (5/10): Runtime 110 minutes. R. The ambience of the period is outstanding. But not only is the film slow and tedious, they cast two beautiful actresses to play two of the least attractive women of the 1920s; so much for verisimilitude. Ad Astra (5/10): Runtime

122 minutes. PG-13. This Brad Pitt vehicle is as absurd as the archaic early ’50s TV series Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. But Tom was before landing on the moon when space travel was truly a figment of the imagination. What’s Ad Astra’s excuse? Hustlers (3/10): Runtime 110 minutes. R. This tepid, watered down, sanitized chick flick of strip club ladies getting some kind of twisted revenge on the men they entertain misses the mark entirely. Excruciating to watch, it has the typically hard-to-swallow slice-of-life dialogue endemic to all these films. Not even Sarah Bernhardt or Bette Davis could make this dialogue digestible. Where’s my Roy Cohn? (1/10): Runtime 97 minutes. PG-13. While this is interesting, it is also so terribly biased and clumsy it should be taught in film school as an epitome of artless advocacy which has no place in a proper documentary. Just one example of its callousness; it makes the gratuitously cruel claim that Cohn’s mother was the ugliest woman in New York. Cohn was a difficult guy with a lot to criticize (that’s an understatement), but he deserves a more even-handed treatment than this one that obviously went into the project with its mind made up and its eye on the target of Donald Trump, who apparently made the titular statement.

SECTION TWO

County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the nearly finished Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (in the old May Company building at Wilshire and Fairfax). The Metro Purple Line station just across Wilshire Boulevard is expected to open in 2023. The Tar Pits project focuses on the Curson Avenue side of the mega-block, as well as all of the surrounding parkland, especially along Sixth Street. The NHM’s goal is to update and renovate the 40-year-old George C. Page Museum and the surrounding park. A public presentation of the competitors’ work-to-date took place on August 26 at the El Rey Theater in the Miracle Mile. Interested neighbors joined public officials and a phalanx of press members in hearing NHM’s president and director, Dr. Lori Bettison-Varga, set the scene, describe the selection process, and introduce presenters from the three teams. The finalist firms that presented at the El Rey are: Dorte Mandrup of Copenhagen. Its works include UNESCO World Heritage sites.

WEISS/MANFREDI of New York City plan.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro of New York City. It is the designer of the Broad Museum on Grand Avenue, downtown. Weiss/Manfredi, also of New York City. It is the designer of the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle. Three different concepts were presented in three presentations, each with dozens of color images of structures and parklands. One image from each team, an overall view of the site from the same perspective, accompanies this article. It is important to note that the NHM process is not to pick the winning set of drawings from the August 26 presentation, and then have its authors proceed with a project to build what is depicted. Rather, the NHM leaders will evaluate the teams and team members to

decide which group will be the best for NHM and the community to work with over the years to create the actual design for the future of the facilities that will serve both modern scientists (whose predecessors have been excavating and examining the rich fossil deposits on the property since 1913) and the public — especially busloads of local schoolchildren — which, for decades, has been learning about these fascinating resources and their scientific study. The selected firm will lead a multi-disciplinary design team that will include specialists in architecture, engineering, landscape design, lighting, way-finding, sustainability, and related design fields. NHM will select one of the three firms by the end of this year.

Get your pumpkins, join a hoedown on Larchmont Blvd. Families can pick up gourds and ornamental corn for their harvest centerpieces, and they can find the best pumpkin for Halloween this month while supporting Wilshire Rotary Club at the pumpkin patch at 568 N. Larchmont Blvd. The patch opens Sat., Oct. 5 and continues through Sun., Oct. 27 or when the pumpkins sell out. Hours are 2 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. There will be a bounce house for kids and a hay bale maze. The neighborhood is also invited to a Halloween Hoedown, with live music and food, Sat., Oct. 19. Proceeds from the pumpkin patch benefit the Wilshire Rotary Foundation and The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International for service projects in the community and

humanitarian projects around the world. Visit facebook.com/ larchmontpumpkinpatch.

Larchmont Chronicle

OCTOBER 2019

SECTION TWO

This month got its name for being the eighth, until it was the tenth

Hope

(Continued from page 2) private, social impact capital. Two to three containers can be used to make a 480-squarefoot one bedroom and a 320-square-foot studio, he explained.

McAvoy

(Continued from page 7) has used his fame to tell other stories of Los Angeles. He was part of the nonprofit El Pueblo Park Association leadership (where he and Larchmont Chronicle publisher John Welborne served together on that board for six years in the late 1980s). Also a founder of the Japanese American National Museum, George has helped the Little Tokyo Historic District and its two iconic anchors, the Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple and Union Church (refurbished as the home of the East-West Players), to be recognized as one of the landmark neighborhoods of the city. He has used his experiences and fame to advocate for “participatory democracy,” a concept his father instilled at an early age and one that everyone today needs to embrace. George and his husband Brad have been an important part of the community for years. At 82, George is one of the best, most authentic advocates we have. (He also is acting now on a TV show on AMC, “The Terror: Infamy.”) Thank you, George, for acknowledging the roles that places have in your own story, and for your role in protecting them over the years.

ProfessorKnowIt-All Bill Bentley circuitous route. In ancient Latin it took two words to identify the brother of one’s father or mother. Patruus was your paternal uncle and avunculus your maternal uncle. Well, down the Roman centuries, the former designation somehow became phased out

and avunculus was solely used for both designations, and was even shortened to aunculus. In Old French, the word became oncle and in Old English the “u” replaced the “o.” • • • What exactly are “crocodile tears”? ponders Marian Abbott. They are hypocritical tears. The tale is told that crocodiles moan and sigh like a person in deep distress in order to lure unsuspecting victims to their welcoming jaws, and that they

even shed tears over their prey while devouring it. As Shakespeare wrote in Henry VI, Part II: “As the mournful crocodile with sorrow snares relenting passengers.” • • • Even though there’s no Friday the 13th this month, what’s the origin of “triskaidekaphobia”? asks Conor Bentley. This mouthful describes the morbid fear of the number 13 or the date Friday the 13th.

It is formed from the Greek treis (three), deka (ten), phobos (fear). In medieval times, Fridays were unlucky because the Crucifixion occurred on that day. The number 13 was to be avoided because there were 13 persons at the Last Supper. This, of course, was before “The Da Vinci Code.” Professor Know-It-All is the nom de plume of Bill Bentley, who invites readers to try and stump him. Send your questions to willbent@prodigy.net.

His real estate development company combines recent zoning and regulation changes with newly available public funding sources and modular construction to build housing for homeless fast at a profit for investors, he said. Comanor, an investment banker-turned affordable housing developer, said his firm had already received a $500,000 grant from a United Way of Los Angeles program. Daylight’s first project, Watts Works, created 25 permanent supportive housing units, and it was followed by NOHO 5050, a Downtown Women’s Center partnership. Comanor grew up on Arden and Fifth. “I have fond memories reading the Larchmont Chronicle with the family,” he said.

What’s the origin of “October”? queries Joan Edwards. Oct is eight in Latin, and October was in fact the eighth month from March, which, in the ancient Roman calendar, is where the year commenced. When Julius Caesar instituted his Julian Calendar in 46 B.C., he added January and February, but kept the other names of the months, thereby confusing us. • • • What’s the origin of the word “uncle”? wonders Lou Whitney. Uncle comes to us by a fairly
