ARGUMENT: An argument outside the Broad Stage escalated to physical violence and racial slurs.

KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer

An elderly man heard calling a black woman the n-word seven times in a viral video taken in the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center parking lot is facing misdemeanor battery charges, according to SMCPD Chief Johnnie Adams. Fredric Allan Shinerock was cited and released in the field immediately after the arrest Tuesday, Adams said.

In the video, which has been viewed nearly 8,000 times on Facebook, the 80-year-old man

appears to shout “You don’t belong (unintelligible). Go back to South LA. Shut your f---ing ugly, n----- mouth. You’re a n-----!�

In the amateur video, the argument over a parking space then turned physical. The unidentified woman can be seen striking the Los Angeles man in the face. He tries to kick her several times. As the woman walked away, the man follows and a parking attendant tries to separate the two people. “Call me a n----- again,� the woman said.

NEEDLE: A distraught family welcomes an Iraqi refugee in “Through the Eye of a Needle” at The Road Theatre on Lankershim.

PLAY FROM PAGE 1

throughout the play.

The play is “Through the Eye of a Needle”, written by Jami Brandli and directed by Ann Hearn Tobolowsky, now having its world premiere at The Road Theatre on Lankershim in North Hollywood.

The company for dinner, in addition to Barbara (Meeghan Holaway), her husband Larry (David Gianopoulos), and their teenage daughter Samantha (Kaitlin Huwe), who will not answer to her given name and insists on being called “S”, includes Pastor Bill (Chet Grissom), a self-righteous prig of a man, and his jiggly, neurotic wife Shirley (Stephanie Erb) who reacts to everything with inappropriate excitement.

Larry, the man of the house is an angry, bitter worker for the New Jersey Department of Transportation who has just been fired because “God didn’t supply enough salt to clear all the snow from the road.” And Barbara, a 1st-grade teacher, insists on setting a sixth chair at the table---for Dana.

Pastor Bill and Shirley arrive with loud bursts of good cheer and a huge Christmas present for the family: a hideous picture of Dana surrounded by golden cherubs with wings. And Pastor Bill, with his endless sermonizing, is confronted by Samantha, or “S”, with all the familiar anti-establishment jargon that a younger generation is prone to adopt. At one time she chides him with Matthew's admonition that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Bring on the camels!

In the midst of all the turmoil, a young Iraqi man named Nasser (Erica Mathlin) enters. He is Dana's “Christmas present to the family” and he brings personal letters only to Barbara.

Which annoys Larry almost as much as the fact that Nasser is brown-skinned. Nasser, who is identified as Dana's “sugar cookie” (a “code” designation that she and Barbara had created during the scene in the kitchen), eventually tells them his own life story as well as the story of how Dana died.

The play at this point goes from turmoil to a potpourri of unlikely conclusions, with everyone having an epiphany and a change of behavior.

“Through the Eye of a Needle” is not a very good play. But it does have a couple of exceptionally good players. Chet Grissom as Pastor Bill is consistently smarmy and obnoxiously smug in his “piety” and Stephanie Erb as his wife Shirley is as uncertain in her clumsy walking as she is in her Stepford Wife persona. They are both superb.

This play, which has been Ovation Recommended and universally lauded, has been extended through Saturday, May 26th.

It can be seen Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 at the Road Theatre on Lankershim, located in the Lankershim Arts Center, 5108 Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood.

For tickets, call 818-761-8838 or visit online at www.RoadTheatre.com.

cuisines that are indicative of the multi-cultural aspects of the hotel’s clientele and the visitors to the city of Santa Monica. I was invited in to sample the new menu for the summer season and had a wondrous meal served with supreme attention by our main waiter Jonathon and his supporting team.

The room itself is an open ceiling, beachy casual design that allows for the sound to deaden and makes the experience much more enjoyable as it is not a noisy and overpowering environment. The whitewashed walls and ceilings evoke a freshness to remind you of the casual joys of summer. To my liking, the music was a nice selection of instrumentals that were playing softly enough to be spoken over easily but could be enjoyed during the natural lulls in conversation.

I brought along my friend Anne so that she could reminisce about when her husband would take her there in their early dating life. We started the meal off with what was surely the biggest disappointment of the evening – the breadbasket. To begin with, it wasn’t a basket; it was four pieces of boring bread with little distinction between them on a plate. At a $9.00 price point, I would have been upset had I been paying for it.

Luckily, that was the low point of the evening. We proceeded to have an appetizer round of Clams Casino and Hamachi Tartar.

The clams were served on a bed of rock salt and roasted star anise. The presentation was beautiful and the clams were baked to perfection with a well-balanced ratio of breadcrumbs and a red bell pepper cube. I found the clams to be cooked through while still maintaining their moisture and delightful taste of the sea. The Hamachi was served atop an avocado mousse that was guacamole-esque. The chile lime vinaigrette on the Hamachi was fresh and light and accented the texture of the fish.

The pasta course was a Mafaldine linguine with guanciale, peas, and ramps.

Guanciale is a pork product from the jowls; similar to the streaky bacon we are most used to. Again the balance of ingredients was what set this dish apart. I was very happy with the proportions of peas and guanciale, the ramps (which are a type of spring greens) were pleasant but not a strong component of the dish. Pasta needs to be done to perfection for me, and this was definitely al dente the way my brother used to make it.

Paired with the pasta course was a grilled

broccolini over a spicy cherry tomato ragu with feta on top of the broccolini for salt and tang. I am not sure which I loved more, the slightly charred broccolini that added a bit of smoky sweetness to the freshness of the greens or the spicy tomato jam that would have been lovely over some of the crusty bread from the bread (non) basket.

As an entrée, we opted for the lamb chops, which must be served pink to raw in the middle, for my liking. In this case, the grill master did a superb job of creating a crust on the exterior of the chop while keeping the interior a delightful rare. Accompanying the chops were smashed fingerling potatoes of no real note, but there was a side of cavalo nero that had been sautéed with garlic and was robust and meaty, but not tough. Cavalo nero is a type of kale and part of the cabbage family.

This type of green can be difficult and gross, but the chef has mastered it.

No tasting menu is complete without an amazing dessert and 1 Pico didn’t disappoint. We ordered the Pavlova and the sundae. A Pavlova is basically a light dessert for those who don’t like dessert. It’s macerated berries over a meringue base. It’s basic, hard to screw up or make exceptional, and here it was a decidedly well done, but still a basic dessert. The sundae on the other hand – well this was a masterpiece of desserty in my opinion. It started with salted caramel ice cream, then add in caramel covered popcorn, chunks of homemade brownies, add in a fudge sauce and top with real homemade whipped cream and nuts. This dessert has smooth, creamy, crunchy, salty, chocolatey, gooey goodness and is most definitely the star of the dessert menu. Jonathon recommended it, and he was right.

If you need a beautiful location to have a marvelous dinner overlooking the water and the pier, I suggest 1 Pico for parties of 2 or 20.

1 Pico deserves 4 stars out of 5. Prices range from $18-24 for small plates, $18-23 for second-course items, dinner mains are $32-58. There is valet parking.

LYRIC OF THE WEEK: “If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish, would you ask for something like another chance? Or something sim'lar as this? Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys, and the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of the low spark of high-heeled boys. The percentage you're paying is too high priced while you're living beyond all your means, and the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams, but today you just read that the man was shot dead by a gun that didn't make any noise, but it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was the low spark of high-heeled boys.

If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return, would you do the same for me as I would for you? Or take me for a ride and strip me of everything, including my pride, but spirit is something that no one destroys and the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound, the low spark of high-heeled boys (heeled boys)” — Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi (for Traffic)

VIDEO FROM PAGE 1

The man shouts the racial epithet several more times as he gets in his car and drives away.

“You’re the one who’s in the f---ing wrong,” the woman said.

The May 1 incident is classified as a hate crime and it is now up to the City Attorney’s Office whether to pursue other charges.

Shinerock could not be reached for comment.

Chief Adams says an officer arrived on scene at about 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, within one minute of the first call to his department about the incident.

The video was taken by Enrique Conde, an SMC student who had just parked his car for orchestra practice when he heard shouting. Conde said tempers often flare in the PAC parking lot when there are classes and an event at The Broad Stage taking place at the same time. There was an opera performance scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., about an hour after the incident took place, according to the calendar for The Broad.

“It was shocking to see that but, unfortunately, it’s not the first time I’ve seen a racial tirade over a parking space in Santa Monica,” Conde said. “A lot of people come into work who are not from the area and you see that friction sometimes.”

Conde said his video doesn’t capture the aftermath of the incident when several bystanders walked over to comfort the woman. He said he wished he had done more to stop the fight and the experience has changed the way he views other viral videos.

“You watch one of those videos and you’re like ‘why doesn’t anybody do something?’ and I became that person,” Conde said.

The student said he expected the parking attendant to better control the situation.

Visit us online at www.smdp.com

Bassoonist Anthony Parnther was walking through the parking lot after rehearsing for the night’s performance when he heard the n-word. In addition to performing at the Broad, Parnther is the conductor and director of the Southeast Symphony, one of the oldest predominantly black orchestras in the United States.

“The guy’s energy was filled with such hate and vitriol,” Parnther told the Daily Press in an interview Wednesday. “It was some really impassioned, hateful screaming that we witnessed. It was supposed to be a musical celebration and it turned into something that was really shameful and revolting.”

Parnther, who did not get involved with the argument, said Shinerock abruptly called him an asshole before driving off.

“It goes to show that progress is not linear,” Parnther said. “It moves forward and backward before rolling forward again.”

Parnther said narrow parking spaces at the concert hall add to the difficulty of finding a space before a rehearsal or performance. He said he’s been stuck in his car on more than one occasion, unable to open the door because of how closely the cars are squeezed next to each other.

SMC’s President sent out a statement Wednesday in response to the incident.

“Santa Monica College is an institution that prides itself on inclusivity and diversity and we will continue to do our utmost to uphold our commitment to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment,” said Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery. “We will take immediate and evident action to reinforce to our students, college community, and guests that there is no room for hate at Santa Monica College.”

The City Attorney’s Office did not respond to the Daily Press’ request for comment. kate@smdp.com

■ Overall health spending in the U.S. is projected to jump 5.3 percent this year, up from 4.6 percent last year. A big driver is prescription drug spending, which is anticipated to grow 6.6 percent in 2018 compared to 2.9 percent in 2017. In actual dollars, that means Americans are expected to spend $360.2 billion on medicines this year or more than the 2017 gross domestic product of Israel.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 3)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

A group will grow and improve because of your contribution. These are the meaningful moments you've been working toward! You'll make good on a promise, and it will burst open an exciting trajectory. There's real brilliance in your ability to elicit expert feedback and apply it until you get the answer. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 8, 20, 27 and 33.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Your loved ones, bosses and colleagues are all looking for the same thing. They want to see effort. They need the assurance that someone cares. You'll be someone's saving grace.

True happiness is impossible to achieve in isolation. You cannot be truly happy when others are suffering. You're connected to all of humanity, and you feel that connection in a visceral way today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don't forget to play. Play is where the best stuff of the day happens. Play is where you'll discover who a person really is. Play will show you things about yourself you didn't know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Though it is possible to experience an easy or even accidental victory, real triumph belongs to the enduring. So don't be shaken by the easy wins of others. Stay the course. Yours is coming.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Your power is growing because you're ready and willing to take on more. Though you have many supporters, expect some resistance, too.

Just because someone is intimidated doesn't mean you are intimidating.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It is often the case that compassionate people got that way via life's disappointments and injustices. Because they moved through bad times, they are more capable of helping others through their suffering.

You can direct loving feelings toward yourself and then extend them outward, or direct loving feelings toward another then soak them up.

Either way, you'll cultivate and share a warm safe environment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

When people want what isn't good for them, as will be the case today, giving them what they want isn't going to help anything. For best results, apply your own judgment to the actions you take on behalf of others.

Today you will give second chances. It's what you would want were the situation reversed.

Also, it just feels better to do this, even if part of you doesn't quite think it's going to work out. You'll always know you were generous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You'll be steadfast in your flow of positive energy. Some people will seem determined to derail your sunshine agenda, and those people are not to be taken on. Ignore them instead.

Refuse to be defeated by transient concerns.

You believe in people's capacity to improve. It's why you're a terrific coach. You also know when to detach. You don't demand people be a certain way to earn your respect. You just respect them and hope for the best.

Spiritual evolution is work. For instance, to think benevolently about people even if you don't particularly agree with (or even like) them is to operate on a higher level. You have this in you.

Solar Seeds Seeds can be unpredictable. Some can stay in the soil bank for half a century before germinating. Legend has it that one germinating seed was radiocarbon dated at nearly 2,000 years old. There are still many dormant possibilities while the sun journeys the first earth sign of the zodiac. We have yet to see all that will grow in this cycle.

FESTIVAL FROM PAGE 1

“This event can reunite people that grew up here, bring a sense of Venice pride. It's a time to unite the community and celebrate Venice and its diversity, it’s Mexican American heritage and history.”

Inspired by her mother’s death, Ceballos says the “Venice roots and Mexican pride” that her mother instilled in her encouraged her to become involved with the event. After a stint as a board member at the Pico Youth Center, Ceballos became a full time community organizer to put on events such as this one, to honor her mother and heritage.

“It’s always been a historic event,” Ceballos said in a phone call. “I had found memories of watching it with my mother as a kid. This is my way of honoring her and who we are, in a way.”

While Ceballos says she grew up in a “significantly different” Venice, she says the

11

parade from her childhood still means something to her, especially in “difficult times where hatred is spread.”

“My family and many MexicanAmericans have deep roots here in Venice and we have a history that should be acknowledged and shared,” Ceballos said. “I think this is one of the only parades on the Westside and it's a big event for everyone here and the neighboring communities as well to come out and celebrate, get to know each one another and have fun.”

The parade begins at Lincoln and California Ave at 10 a.m. It travels down Lincoln to Rose before returning via 7th Ave to Oakwood Park, 767 California Ave. where it will transition into the festival.

Parade spectators are encouraged to view the parade on Lincoln between California and Rose. The festival will be open through 6 p.m.

Parking is available at Amino High School. The event is free.

Great gifts for Every Mom!
