Main Street restaurant temporarily closes after fire Chef hopes to reopen Fork in the Road within a month BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
Over the next couple weeks, it will pain Drew Adams not to be able to serve barbecue oysters, pork belly flatbread and braised short rib ravioli to diners at Fork in the Road. But the executive chef refuses to see the fire that broke out at his Santa Monica restaurant last week as anything other than a blessing in disguise. “It’s unfortunate, but things happen,” he said. “I’ve never been through something like this, so I’m going to use that as a learning experience and forge through this.” The restaurant, located at 2424 Main St., will likely be closed for about a month as the necessary
repairs are completed, Adams said. In the meantime, Adams will think about all of the other potentially tragic scenarios that could have played out and be thankful that his restaurant was spared more significant damage. “We could’ve been locked and loaded with a full dining room at 9 o’clock and had somebody get hurt,” he said. “No one got hurt, so we’re very happy about that.” Adams also noted that the fire could have broken out late at night, when it could have gone unnoticed for longer and caused more devastating destruction to the building and the expensive cooking equipment inside.

St. Monica welcomes new coaches Fresh faces take reins of fall sports teams BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
St. Monica Catholic High School’s athletics programs look much different than they did at the beginning of last school year. Not only is there a new athletic director in charge at the Santa Monica private school, but there are also several new coaches at the helm of the fall sports teams. Katie Charles has taken the reins of the Mariners girls volleyball team, which is vying for a return trip to the CIF Southern Section playoffs after reaching the second round last year. Charles, who replaces Cori Ueda, led St. Monica to its first win of the season with a 3-0 sweep of Los Angeles-Sacred Heart on Sept. 8 after the squad fell to Crossroads in its opener five days earlier. Charles’ roster is led by a senior
class that includes outside hitters Amanda Maqueria and Savannah Cragin, opposite hitter Destiny Ramirez and defensive specialist Audrey Kim. “We’re excited about her and what she’s done with the girls,” St. Monica athletic director Frank Cruz said of Charles, who has coached in the Sunshine Volleyball Club. “The volleyball program is in good shape.” Charles got a late start to her new gig due to a scheduling conflict, Cruz said, so assistant coaches Don and Carol Hackett ran the program in the interim. Meanwhile, Troy Mass was selected to coach the St. Monica girls tennis team. Mass, who attended the University of Nebraska, is a seasoned player and the director of the Santa Monica-

PICO GIVES BACK: Acapillow Home Furnishings and Upper West will donate to The Viking Fund.
BY JENNIFER MAAS Daily Press Staff Writer
Pico Boulevard based-businesses are partnering up to raise money for the Santa Monica High School Athletic Booster Club, also known as The Viking Fund. The donations drive will run from September 12-20 as part of the Buy Local/Give Local campaign orchestrated by Buy Local. The Viking Fund is a nonprofit corporation, which operates as a volunteer support group for the Santa Monica High School athletic programs by providing financial assistance and moral support to Samohi students, athletes, coaches and teams. The fund works closely with the Samohi athletics administration and coaches. The booster club also works to maintain the quality of the school’s athletic programs, improve their athletic facilities and coordinate fundraising activities.
Santa Monica High School parent and Viking Fund football mom, Lori Whitesell, couldn’t be happier that Pico businesses will be supporting the fund. “It feels terrific,” Whitesell said. “We are very much a part of the Santa Monica community. I SEE DONATE PAGE 6

Westside Pet Clinic missing beloved mascot If you have ever been to the Westside Pet Clinic on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, a four-legged, tail-wagging door greeter named Lucy most likely welcomed you. Lucy is the Clinic’s Medical Director, Dr. Antje Hinz’s, working grey pit-bull terrier whose job is to meet and greet all visitors, and to help calm anxious pets and their owners. On Sept. 7, 2015 at 4 p.m., while Hinz was in Germany, Lucy went missing from her pet-sitters residence at 1158 Grant Ave. in Venice. The last known sighting of Lucy was at Pen Mar Golf Course where, when cornered, she slipped out from under a fence. Scores of community volunteers have posted lost dog posters and continue to scour the neighborhood, but they have not yet been able to find Lucy. Hinz hopes that the help from social media will be Lucy’s ticket home, and back to work. The Westside Pet Clinic is seeking the help of the public in bringing home their beloved door greeter and best friend. The Amanda Foundation has put up a generous $1,000 reward for Lucy’s safe return. Anyone with information about Lucy’s whereabouts can contact search coordinator Tracy Jones at 1-805-844-1400.

17th Annual Communitas Awards and Dinner The Church in Ocean Park will honor three exceptional community leaders during the 17th Annual Communitas awards event on Saturday, Sept. 12. Communitas honors members of the church and the larger community who have greatly contributed to fostering peace and justice and who embody and elevate the spirit of community. This year three creative, compassionate and courageous people whose impact can be seen in this community and beyond will be recognized at Communitas. Each one of the inspirational honorees has worked and continues to work for friendship, peace, social justice and connection across cultures in our community and in the broader world. “The 2015 honorees work tenaciously to bring about a more beloved and just community. They have each made a positive difference in the lives of many, many people,” said Janet McKeithen, minister of the Church in Ocean Park, which hosts this special event at 235 Hill Street, Santa Monica, beginning at 4:30 p.m. Professor Melina Abdullah is a womanist scholar-activist. She is a professor of Pan-African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles, serves on the leadership team for #BlackLivesMatter and is a recognized expert on race relations. She was appointed to the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission in 2014. Professor Abdullah has emerged as a national leader in the effort to advance ethnic studies. She is active in political and community organizing and frequently delivers public lectures and contributes to radio news programs, print and online media. Melina is a member of the Beautiful Struggle collective and co-hosts/co-produces a weekly radio show of the same name, which airs on KPFK (90.7 FM) and streams worldwide. She is also a “soccer mama” of three children. Mildred Pitts Walter is an educator, author and a lifelong activist and was the recipient of the 1987 Coretta Scott King Award for Literature. Her award-winning book “Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World” is just one of over a dozen children’s books she has authored. She is an avid supporter of civil rights and at the time of her Coretta Scott King Award, Walter was walking for peace from Leningrad to Moscow along with two hundred Americans and two hundred Soviets. Mildred is one of the founders of the Northeast Women’s Center in Denver, which serves as a resource to women who wish to improve their economic, social and political awareness. At the age of 93, Mildred continues to work for the rights of women and the Black community. She loves to travel and is humbled to be honored with an award at this year’s Communitas. A specialist in Gerontology, Linda Laisure was the founder and director of H.O.M.E. (Helping Our Mobile Elderly), a licensed residential care facility and nonprofit organization. Twenty years later this led to the establishment of the H.O.M.E. Foundation, a private foundation that has helped numerous vulnerable and economically disadvantaged older adults throughout the United States. Linda’s involvement with the Church in Ocean Park began in 2012 when she rented an office there for the H.O.M.E. Foundation. Seeing a need, she began to make improvements around the church, inspiring others to help beautify the building. She established improved tenant records and procedures. Now retired, Linda continues to volunteer for St. Joseph Center in Venice. She has also served on the Board of Directors for GLEH (Gay & Lesbian Elder House) Triangle Square, the first affordable housing in the nation focused on the LGBT community. She has been honored for her work with older adults by the Los Angeles City Council for improving the status of women and received the first Caregiver’s Award from the Alzheimer’s Association in 1993. Reverend McKeithen shared that “We are honored to celebrate them and their work in a joyous event that includes an inspirational program, food, spoken word and lively conversation.” All are welcome on Sept.12 at Communitas 2015. Individual ticket price is $75; for more information and to purchase tickets, please call (310) 399-1631 or email: office@ciop4justice.org. - SUBMITTED BY DONNA GENTRY

Jerry Rosenblum makes the absolute most of each day. And he’s been doing so for 93 years. (Jerry will be 94 in January!) He takes three classes at Emeritus College and attends lectures at the Main Library twice a week. Jerry is also finishing his memoir, “What Goes Around, Comes Around.” It’s a charming collection of vignettes from his career in the men’s clothing business and his remarkable interactions with celebrities in and out of work. Jerry also has taken numerous cruise ships around the world. As an amateur singer, he invariably enters passenger talent contests and often wins. (Google “93-yearold man.”) With his energy and zest for life, Jerry ought to be selling vitamins on a late night infomercial. Tomorrow night, Sept. 12, at the Edgemar Center for the Arts on Main Street, Jerry and six elders from our community will participate in a special evening of storytelling in an inspiring program entitled, “Defining Moments.” Ages 74 to 96, Jerry and his pals will sing, tap dance and share their personal histories via the lost art of story telling. (As the proverb goes, “The stranger who tells our stories not only awakens our spirits and hearts, but also shows our humanity.”) Afterward, the group will participate in a question and answer session followed by a reception in Edgemar Center’s beautiful gallery space. Most cultures revere the wisdom of elders. But in the U.S., once you qualify for AARP everyone thinks you eat dinner at 4 and are in bed by 8. Thankfully, Edgemar reveres elders. And if you haven’t visited the Edgemar Center, this is an ideal opportunity as admission to Defining Moments is free. (Donations are encouraged to keep terrific programs like this alive.) The Edgemar complex was designed by famed architect Frank Geary. Under the tutelage of creative director, Michelle Danner, Edgemar Center has been a tremendous asset to our community, offering award-winning plays and musicals in its two theaters, along with acting classes for children and adults, for amateurs and working actors and first-class art shows. Of course, I’m biased toward Edgemar. My father, as a teenager, had a part-time job there as an egg candler, the person who holds eggs up to the light to make sure they weren’t fertilized. (As told in my column, “Which Came First, the Theater or the Egg?”) Also, as a UCLA alum, I was delighted to discover that the late legendary Bruin
basketball coach, John Wooden, worked at Edgemar for a few years in the offseason. Edgemar Farms founder, Herman Michel, came to Santa Monica from Switzerland in the 1880’s and wound ROSENBLUM up becoming our city’s first mayor. His great granddaughter, Maire owns the highly popular Thyme restaurant on Ocean Park Boulevard. But back to the Edgemar of today and “Defining Moments.” Jerry will open the show as he sings “Chattanooga Choo Choo” while Anna Torpy, 90, tap dances. Her partner will be 13year-old Santa Monica resident, Anthony Bvlgari. At age 11, Anthony sang with Andrea Bocelli, the internationally famous blind opera singer, in front of 24,000 people at the Staples Center. Len Magnus, 84, who had a career in radio and on the stage, will provide humor with a song about a hat. With Rosh Hashanah on Monday, Dora Krakower, 96, will sing in Yiddish honoring the Jewish holiday. Marcello Olavaria, who was born in Chile and worked in the airline industry, will sing “I’ve Got the World on a String.” Inga Neilsen will also sing as she does her rendition of “Here’s to Life.” Inga, once a professional dancer and singer in Las Vegas, appeared in movies such as “Hello Dolly,” “Funny Girl” and “Funny Lady.” Elizabeth Cocca, 84, was a nun but left the nunnery at age 40 to marry, whereupon she and her husband adopted a child. Elizabeth will sing a song from her one-woman show. The event will be unforgettable as the elders share the defining moments in their lives. Plus, the show’s finale will feature Jerry’s stirring rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” (By the way, Jerry tells me he does take vitamins: B, C, D, E and potassium, which means I’ve got to end this and go buy some, pronto!) Edgemar is at 2437 Main Street. “Defining Moments” starts at 7:30 p.m, but an RSVP is required. Email info@edgemar.org or call (310) 392-7327 to reserve your place. JACK is at facebook.com/jackneworth, twitter.com/jackneworth and jnsmdp@aol.com.

FINDING A NEW DENTIST IS TOUGH!!! (BUT WE MAKE IT EASY!!!)
Let them ride the bus
YOUR CHOICE
Editor:
I have no objections to low cost housing in general. But in the present economic environment, the cost appears high compared to the benefits received. Who is the new low cost housing for? If for employees currently living outside the city, let the light rail and various bus lines bring them from lower cost areas of Los Angeles County in an affordable and timely manner. For students, dormitories would be a cheaper solution than single unit affordable housing. For those displaced from trailer parks and other low cost housing by new development, the developer should pay. For those forced out of apartments and condo conversions due to upgrades and resulting higher prices, it becomes a financial liability, not a benefit to the taxpayers, if they must supply affordable housing for them. The current costs of providing affordable housing are numerous. They include direct payouts by the city to provide the housing and/or land; higher and/or more dense development which not only changes the character of the city but creates more traffic and pollution in exchange for a very limited number of new affordable housing units; additional demand for already scarce water and power resources; additional city services; reduced property tax income due to reduced property value of affordable housing; more demand on education resources. And now there is talk about new taxes to raise money for affordable housing. We’ve already exceeded the goals of (1990) Proposition R, so why the big push for more affordable housing?

On Friday, Sept. 4, suspect Richard Pecorelli was arrested for investigation of operating the “Green Zebra Collective,” a purported, on-line medical marijuana delivery scheme in violation of Proposition 215; better known as the California’s Compassionate Use Act of 1996. The Santa Monica Police Department’s Narcotics Unit conducted an extensive undercover investigation and executed a search warrant on Pecorelli’s residence in the 1800 block of 19th Street after receiving numerous, anonymous complaints from neighbors about the excessive amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic in a residential zone as well as the witnessing of on-site, hand-to-hand sales of suspected narcotics. The warrant netted evidence of unlawful sales and distribution of marijuana, including a substantial amount of U.S. currency. This investigation represents a concerted effort from the Santa Monica Police Department to safeguard the community by ensuring the non-diversion of marijuana grown for medical purposes into illicit markets. “These type of for-profit, backroom operations, not only create a neighborhood nuisance, but pose a heightened and genuine safety risk to the community at large as the operations lack security protocols and adequate cash handling practices to deter crime,” said Lt. Clinton Muir from the Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division. The case is pending review by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

specifically represent football and football is an intimate part of Santa Monica tradition … To partner with our businesses along Pico, it feels like we’re just one great big team.” Whitesell believes that Santa Monicans should buy local to support the community, so the community will then support residents. “It just makes it simple. We’re all part of the same community … We have a very unique relationship with our city … a quarter of a cent of our sales tax goes to our schools. So the more that we can support our local businesses, the more we actually support our children. So that partnership is very, very valuable.” As a parent, Whitesell also believes teaching buy local habits to our children is important. “It teaches are children that it’s beneficial to support the local businesses and not just the online retailers who have no names and no faces. This way we build relationships with people. We get to know our neighbors and we can be there for each other.” Pico restaurant Upper West (3321 Pico Blvd.) is excited to be part of the Buy Local week event, as it allows them the chance to give back to the Santa Monica community.

“We feel very blessed to have a thriving business in Santa Monica,” said Upper West social media manager Jennifer Wilson. “We do work hard to provide good service and food to our community. We love buy local, we are a locally owned business and want to support all local businesses in the area so that we have a thriving business community!” Wilson said that Upper West supports other local vendors by sourcing from the farmer’s market on a weekly basis and purchasing their fish from Santa Monica Seafood. “We love working with local charities as well, we love to give back in anyway that we can and look forward to supporting the Viking Fund with the sales of our Ahi Tuna Tacos!” Another Pico business that signed up for the event is Virtual Snow (3105 Pico Blvd.), an establishment where patrons can learn to ski or snowboard year-round on virtual indoor ski and snowboard training equipment. “I like supporting what is going on,” said founder and owner of Virtual Snow, Bob Salerno. “I’m local and a lot of Santa Monica people come here to train for skiing or snowboarding. I just wanted to help with a promotion to give back. So we generate some money from Buy Local and we give some back to the Viking Fund.” SEE VIKING PAGE 7

The fire was detected after 3 p.m. on Thursday, when the restaurant is closed between lunch and dinner service, so only three or four employees were in the building, Adams said. The fire couldn’t be seen inside the restaurant because it was contained inside a wall along a pathway from the kitchen to the bar, Adams said. But a maintenance worker who happened to be delivering light bulbs noticed smoke coming from the roof as he was entering through the rear breezeway. “He’s like, ‘Drew, there’s smoke coming out of the building,’” Adams said. “I said something like, ‘Who’s got a tray of bacon in the oven?’ And he said, ‘No, I think there’s a fire.’” Adams immediately called the Santa Monica Fire Department, whose Hollister Avenue station is just a block from Fork in the Road. Main Street was closed for about an hour and a half as firefighters worked to put out the blaze, which had moved from the walls behind the restaurant’s stove towards the ceiling area. The fire department’s 29-person response included five engines, one truck, a hazardous materials team, a battalion crew and two investigators, according to an SMFD release. “The affected walls and ceiling were opened up and the fire was extinguished,” fire officials said. Adams, who grew up with restaurateur parents, has been cooking since he was a young child. He said he’s poured considerable time and energy into Fork in the Road, which officially opened last year. The restaurant’s menu features what Adams calls California cuisine with global character, and many of its ingredients are

based Beach City Tennis Academy. The Mariners’ roster consists of eight players, all seniors. “We think we got really lucky in hiring him,” Cruz said of Mass. “The team made the playoffs last year, so we’re hoping to do even a little bit better. We’re excited about getting a guy of Troy’s caliber and experience. He was at the right place at the right time for us.” St. Monica also landed Daniel Schuman as its new boys and girls cross-country coach. Cruz said interest in the sport has spiked dramatically since the arrival of Schuman, a former member of the Duke University track and field program who previously served as track coach at Los Angeles-Yeshiva High Tech. Andrea Bobadilla is serving as assistant coach for the Mariners, whose roster this year features 32 boys and 17 girls. “He’s generated some excitement on the athletic front,” Cruz said of Schuman, who is
sourced from Santa Monica farmers markets. It’s all a labor of love for Adams, who is also the director of operations. “I’m never off the clock,” he said. “It’s in my blood, and I love it so much. For me, it’s not about the money. It’s about handshakes and hugs ... We’ve had our ups and downs, but when it comes down to it we usually come up on top.” Adams said he chose Santa Monica for his restaurant, which eschews traditional signage for a giant silver fork on the front of the building, because of the access to high-quality ingredients and the vibe on Main Street. Despite the fire, Adams remains excited about the future of Fork in the Road and said he’s thankful for the support he’s received around town. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s like rebuilding another restaurant from the ground up. It’s another challenge. If it were easy, then it wouldn’t be fun at all. You’ve always gotta have a challenge.” Added one Yelp reviewer: “Lets (sic) hope the owners can recover quickly because this is one fabulous place.” The fire at Fork in the Road was the latest in a string of blazes involving Santa Monica eateries. On Aug. 12, a fire broke out at Cafe de Paris after a car slammed into the back of the Montana Avenue restaurant’s building. On June 10, heat from the wood-burning oven at Tar & Roses caused a fire in the popular restaurant’s building on Santa Monica Boulevard. All repairs have been completed except those involving the oven flue, for which executives are awaiting City approval, according to a Sept. 5 post on the restaurant’s Facebook page. Tar & Roses is expected to open a few weeks after the flue work begins. jeff@smdp.com
teaching math and science at St. Monica. “That’s pretty cool.” Leading the girls golf team is Cruz, who fills the void left by Megan Shea. Cruz was hired before the start of the school year to replace Rick Bruce as the St. Monica athletic director. The girls golf season is slated to begin Sept. 14. All of the personnel changes make football coach Drew Shaw the de facto veteran of the Mariners’ fall sports staff. Shaw, a second-year coach, led the Mariners to a 5-5 record last season after they went 3-8 in 2013. And more progress could be on the horizon for St. Monica, which picked up a 12-10 win over Palm Desert-Xavier Prep on Sept. 4 after being shut out by Pasadena-Maranatha in its opener Aug. 28. “He’s excited about the football team,” Cruz said of Shaw, who previously served as an assistant under former Mariners football coach Adam Guerra. “They should have a winning record, and I know they’re working hard at it. The campus is excited about that.” jeff@smdp.com

■ “Excessive” (II): In August the independent Police Foundation declared it “excessive” that cops in Stockton, California, had fired 600 gunshots trying to apprehend robbers of a Bank of the West branch in July 2014. None of the robbers was hit, but one hostage was -- fatally, hit by 10 police bullets. According to the report, “a few” of the officers engaged in “sympathetic fire,” shooting merely because their colleagues were shooting (and since the sequence was chaotic, sympathetic fire occurred even though other colleagues were actually positioned in
SHEPARD
front of shooters). ■ In Ogden, Utah, in October (2009), Adam Manning, 30, accompanied his pregnant girlfriend to the McKay-Dee Hospital emergency room as she was going into labor. According to witnesses, as a nurse attended to the woman, Manning began flirting with her, complimenting the nurse’s looks and giving her neck rubs. When Manning then allegedly groped the nurse’s breast, she called for security, and Manning was eventually arrested and taken to jail, thus missing the birth of his child.

The real problem with Kim Davis by Megan Tambio
After several days in prison, former Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis emerged with her husband to a cheering crowd. As she climbed up on stage (yes, there was a stage), the ‘80s anthem “Eye of the Tiger” blared from speakers. What did Davis do to deserve all of this? She refused gay
couples marriage licenses. Technically, she refused everyone licenses for the sake of equality. Here’s the thing: When Davis was sentenced to jail, she politely accepted her punishment, even saying “Thank you” to the judge. She refused to give any more marriage licenses because the government’s definition of mar-

After accepting her legal punishment, she immediately repealed, got out and walked into the center of a freaking rally in her name. What is the victory here?
