In Venice, the Homeless Have More Rights Than the Housed cleared a large encampment there. While many of Venice’s homeless are law-abiding citizens whose homelessness is a result of economic hardship, personal misfortune or mental health struggles, this encampment was more of a bicycle chop shop than makeshift housing. Aggressive occupants frightened customers, and one even had the nerve to shoplift bolt cutters from the hardware store, a clerk tells The Argonaut. Now there’s nothing preventing their return. In this space we’ve previously condemned hateful and threatening speech toward the homeless, such as calls to make Venice “unsafe” for homeless people by “whatever means necessary.” We still do. We also recognize such comments are fueled by frustration that the housing and shelters the city has promised have yet to materialize, leaving neighborhoods with little agency to discourage large encampments and few resources to help encampment occupants find healthier accommodations. Unpermitted planter boxes may be illegal, but they’re also acts of desperation by housed people who don’t know what else to do or where to turn to for help as their streets descend further into chaos. It’s distressing to watch fellow human

Curbside planter boxes are the hot new trend in Venice — not for their rustic chic, but because they discourage homeless people from establishing encampments alongside homes and businesses. Without a city permit, they’re also illegal. But the city’s sudden enthusiasm for ripping these planters out, after years of doing nothing to address the underlying public safety and quality of life concerns prompting people to install them, also sends a troubling message: indifference. Last Monday about three dozen metal planters showed up along Fourth Avenue between Rose and Sunset, a partly residential area near the crowded Third Avenue homeless encampments that some call Skid Rose. By the next morning the city had issued removal citations. By Wednesday morning city workers were already destroying them. In L.A. that’s like half the lifespan of an abandoned couch! Early Thursday morning, city workers showed up at Lincoln Hardware to enforce immediate removal of more than a dozen metal planters adjacent to its parking lot on the southwest corner of Palms Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard. The hardware store installed the planters about six months ago after LAPD officers
City workers removed planter boxes from Fourth Avenue on the morning of Aug. 7, about 36 hours after the planters appeared beings forced to live in Third World conditions. It’s scary when some who appear aggressive, mentally disturbed, under the influence of drugs or engaged in criminal activity set up camp near your home or workplace, and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Removing planter boxes without providing legal alternatives for addressing
quality of life issues related to encampments will only fuel increased animosity toward the homeless. As frustration grows, housed residents are starting to believe that the city cares more about the rights of the homeless to do as they please than the rights of the housed to feel safe in their neighborhoods. editor@argonautnews.com

Letter s Engine Company No. 95 to the Rescue On my way to Ralphs last Saturday afternoon, I noticed a large 3’-by-10’ directional sign dangling precariously over the corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Manchester Avenue, near the Union 76 station. A clamp holding the street sign had broken, and I feared a strong wind or the weight of the sign along would bring it falling into traffic lanes. When I reached the grocery story, there were firefighters w
ArgonautNews.com from Station 95 waiting in their truck while others shopped, and I decided to tell them about the hanging sign. On my way home, I noticed flashing red lights at the intersection. In less than 20 minutes these firefighters had removed the broken sign and rendered the situation safe. Thank you to our local firefighters for keeping us safe not only from fires, but other potentially dangerous situations. Glen Kacena Westchester

Developer Flattens Ecologically Sensitive Toes Beach Dunes By Gary Walker Playa del Rey residents are outraged and the California Coastal Commission is demanding corrective action after a controversial developer bulldozed ecologically sensitive sand dunes on Toes Beach over the weekend, despite a city council field deputy’s orders to stop work. Earthmoving equipment leveled beach dunes near Culver Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on Friday afternoon and again on Saturday morning — destroying native plant species and animal habitat in the process, according to environmental activists. Property owner The Legado Co. has long had an antagonistic relationship with local residents who fought hard against its plans for a 72-unit residential and retail complex in the commercial heart of Playa del Rey. The company is suing the city over city council members’ refusal to approve the development last year. L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin said the city Department of Building and Safety had ordered Legado to remove a rusty and dilapidated fence surrounding the property, but did not issue a permit to grade the land. “I was shocked and angry on behalf of
BEFORE: Wildflowers grow on a natural dune neighbors and on behalf of the environment. They’ve done some serious damage to the dunes. The dunes have been flattened,” Bonin said. Benjamin Reznik, a local land use attorney representing Legado, said the machinery operators needed to excavate a significant portion of the fence post that was buried underneath the sand. “The excavation left a hole, and the other operator’s job was to fill the hole,” Reznik said. “The Department of Building and Safety knew what we were doing and [the Los Angeles County Department of] Beaches and Harbors had someone present during the work.” California Coastal Commission spokeswoman Noaki Schwartz told The Argonaut that the regulatory body will demand

that Legado take restorative action. “We have been investigating it and [on Tuesday] we sent out a notice of intent to issue an executive director cease-anddesist order, seeking immediate interim actions to address the site. This will be followed by a commission order to require site restoration and other actions,” Schwartz stated via email. Ruth Lansford, who lives near the dune area, said her son alerted her to the machinery on Friday afternoon, prompting her to call Bonin’s office. Bonin said he sent a field deputy on Friday to order Legado to stop work, and that deputy returned on Saturday morning after work resumed. “That took a lot of nerve, quite frankly,” said Lansford, who helped found Friends
of the Ballona Wetlands. “It shows that they have total contempt for the community.” Reznik believes community animosity toward development is fueling acrimony about the dunes. “I think there is a segment of the community there that wants to paint Legado in a bad light because of a project that would have had affordable housing,” Reznik said. “This is a property owner who has a really horrible relationship with the community and has insulted them for years,” countered Bonin. “This is really beyond the pale. I want to see restoration and mitigation as well as significant penalties.” gary@argonautnews.com

Public Health Ties Venice Rat Infestation to Google Campus, Not Homeless Encampments By Gary Walker A vocal contingent of Venice residents have complained for months about rat sightings among the perpetual homeless encampments along Third Avenue and Hampton Drive, near Gold’s Gym and the Google campus. Prompted by an anonymous complaint, a July 23 investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health detected four brown rat (aka Norway rat) burrows — not among the encampments, but on the fenced-in Google parcel between Hampton and Third. Contrary to claims of hundreds of rats posing a potential communicable disease hazard, the burrows only represent “a small infestation,” Public Health officials said. “A notice was sent to the property owner to trim out the vegetation, collapse the burrows, and eliminate the rodents,” a department representative stated in an email to The Argonaut. Google was given an Aug. 7 deadline to complete the work, and then an Aug. 13 extension to place additional bait stations, ensure that burrows are collapsed and remove additional vegetation growth. Company representatives did not answer requests for comment. “It’s a great first step. This should help reduce the rat population here,” said neighborhood activist Rick Swinger, who lives near Third and frequently documents activity among the encampments. Swinger, who has called Public Health about the encampments on prior occasions and has frequently posted evidence of encampment-related trash and human waste on social media, has stated in email chains that he has seen “hundreds of rat burrows along Third Avenue along with scores of rats jumping into their tents!” Public Health officials surveyed Third, Fourth, Rose and Sunset avenues for evidence of rats and other potential public health hazards, but came up empty-handed. They also found no evidence of active rodent infestation at the nearby Public Storage facility, often a target of neighborhood concerns. “The following were observed: a homeless community; no trash, fecal material, or debris were observed, but the trash cans were full; rodent burrows on the property occupied by Google (Third Avenue), but not on the surrounding city streets; rodent runways and gnawed fruit were observed under the dense vegetation at the Google property; rodent activity was not
observed in the public areas around the property; and stagnant water (referred to West Los Angeles Vector Control District for possible mosquito control),” Public Health officials wrote. “I just guesstimated that there were hundreds [of rats] because I saw so many,” Swinger said of the discrepancy. Rats became a hot topic on social
media after reports of infestation and a typhus outbreak earlier this year at L.A. City Hall. This summer the fiscally conservative Reform California political action committee issued a report claiming private pest control agencies are dealing with increased calls about rats driven by a proliferation of homeless encampments. Venice locals who are concerned the Third Avenue encampments present public health dangers have asserted that “1.5% of the rats in Los Angeles have the bubonic plague” and “when it hits 2% the plague will enter the human population, according to experts.” The claim appears to have originated from media personality and addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky, formerly of the radio show “Loveline,” in a May 31 interview for Fox News that has been reposted by conservative websites. Pinsky, who is not an epidemiologist, did not cite which experts told him that “bubonic plague is likely; it’s already here; it will get onto the rat fleas.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that plague can be spread by flea bites from infected rodents, but the last known evidence of plague in Los Angeles was in 1924. gary@argonautnews.com August 15, 2019 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 9

Santa Monica The Ernest Marquez Collection tells a fascinating story of the city’s history

By Carl Kozlowski When he started delving into history, Ernest Marquez was just one among millions of others worldwide who wanted to learn more about his family tree. Initially he was fascinated by the story of his great-great-great-grandfather Francisco Reyes, a Spanish soldier who came to Alta California with Father Junipero Serra in 1769 to claim Alta California for the king of Spain. As Marquez further explored the lives of his great-grandfathers, he was able to find records of their Mexican land grants for 6,656 acres called Rancho Boca de Santa Monica as well as Santa Monica PAGE 10 THE ARGONAUT August 15, 2019

Canyon, but knew little else about them — not even the existence of family photographs. But when Marquez grew up and became a commercial artist after World War II, he became immersed in historical photographs as a general field of interest — and, over the decades since, amassed one of the largest and most noteworthy private Los Angeles history collections imaginable. With more than 50 years of photos occupying his home and the now-95-year-old Marquez considering how to preserve them for posterity after he passes, he sold more than 11,000 images to The Hunting-

ton Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino. “It was the largest photography collection we’ve bought since 1939,” says Jenny Watts, The Huntington’s curator of photography and visual culture. “We’d been very good getting large collections through donations, but this was an outright purchase because it was intact and played to our strengths in content and expertise. One doesn’t [often] get a chance to buy a collection a person spent their entire life history working on, and it was in the spirit of what The Huntington used to do, buying people’s collections, so the stars all kind of aligned.”
Intrigued by the hobby of collecting photos, Marquez quickly learned the names of the city’s early photographers and the locations of their studios. He also became a frequent patron of photography shows and secondhand shops and came to realize that there were untold treasures to be found. The collection has proven not only to be an interesting hobby or a wise investment in the wake of The Huntington’s purchase (for an unspecified amount). It also fueled a career as a local historian and author of several books, including a history of Santa Monica and a history of the Long Wharf that formed a major port

A Pacific Electric Railway “Red Car” arrives at Santa Monica Station in 1952 (01_346). near what is now Will Rogers State Beach. “I learned that some store owners had no idea of what they had,” recalls Marquez. “I could find a stereoview made by [leading photographer] Charlton Watkins for $2. It was then I decided to buy any old photograph of Los Angeles, even though I didn’t have any idea who the photographer was or where it was made. “But later I managed to recognize scenes and buildings and keep the images in my memory,” Marquez continues. “When finding a photograph I wanted, I managed to control my emotions making
the dealer think it was ordinary and really had no value. This went on for years. This period of my life was exciting. I met Jenny early in my collecting, and she had no idea what was in my garage and neither did I.” Indeed, Marquez and Watts first met in 1997, while she was working on an exhibition about the rollercoaster relationship between water and Los Angeles. A source referred her to Marquez due to the sheer size of his collection and she decided to see if he would lend some photos to the show. “That’s when I first went out to meet him where he lives in the San Fernando
Valley,” says Watts. “His collection was mostly in his home and in his garage, which he made into something of an archive, and I realized he was an incredible resource of information and images and he has an incredible eye. Soon he would ask about things I was researching and I’d ask him about his work. We became friendly through mutual interests. “When we bought the 11,000 images from him, it was the bulk of his collection,” she continues. “He was and is working on a family history, so he held back on things he wanted to use for his own research purposes, but the majority came to the Huntington and I went over it
very carefully before I came so there wasn’t duplication and there were things we didn’t want. Originally there were 5,000 we wanted, but eventually double that.” The Ernest Marquez Photograph Collection contains photographic prints, negatives, photograph albums and ephemera compiled by Marquez, focused on the development of Santa Monica and Los Angeles from the 1860s to 1980s, as well as other cities throughout California. The collection contains many 19th-century cabinet cards and stereographs, and a (Continued on page 12)

rare group of negatives by early Los Angeles historian and amateur photographer George W. Hazard documenting the city at the turn of the 20th century. It also features a large array of photos from the mid-1870s expansion of the Southern Pacific Railroad as it was on the verge of connecting Los Angeles to the rest of the nation. The collection includes rare images by some of the region’s earliest practitioners, including William M. Godfrey, Francis Parker, and the team of Hayward & Muzzall. Watts describes it as “the best and most comprehensive collection of its kind in private hands.” PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT August 15, 2019
“I’ve worked on this collection for 27 years now and a great strength is its depictions of 19th and early 20th century of Los Angeles and greater Southern California,” says Watts. “Pure rarity is one thing I’m looking at, another is condition. Ernie comes from a graphic design background, so he was interested in the preservation and composition of the image, and 99% of this is commercial imagery not ‘art’ photography. “It has very high aesthetics and research value coming together, which is pretty rare,” adds Watts. “I was thinking it would be mostly Santa Monica because that’s Ernie’s own emphasis, but it turned out to be much more general.”
The Marquez collection has not had an exhibition, nor will it. Since The Huntington is primarily a research institution, Watts considers collections for “both deep research interest and exhibit-worthiness.” Many items have been scanned and placed online for people to observe in The Huntington’s digital library, a process that Watts notes took a “lightning fast 18 months from the time it came in the door to going online.” For his part, Marquez can now rest assured that his life’s legacy will live on safely. He expends most of his creative efforts these days on making handmade headstones for the ancestors in his family’s private cemetery in Santa
Monica Canyon, but he still takes satisfaction in the collection he amassed. “I collected for my own pleasure, and to help put together a book on my ancestors,” says Marquez. “However, it was at a price. It got to the point where I could not afford to buy old pictures because there were too many collectors. The value of them by now extended way out of my financial reach. I had to figure out what to do. Now the collection is at The Huntington and no longer in a room in my garage.” View more images from the Marquez Collection at huntington.org.

Twilight Dawns Again Santa Monica Pier concert season opens with Rostam, Dijon and Jen Awad By Danny Karel and Bliss Bowen “Local Meets Global” is the appropriate and timely theme for this summer’s 35th annual Twilight on the Pier concert series, bringing an eclectic mix of live music to Santa Monica Pier for free Wednesdayevening concerts through Sept. 25. Each outing features three acts that, except for this week, are curated around a different cultural motif: Latin Wave on Aug. 28, Middle East Beats on Sept. 4, Island Tides on Sept. 11, Aussie Splash on Sept. 18 and Japanese Vibes on Sept. 25. If there is a unifying concept for the Aug. 21 kickoff event, it’s Los Angeles-based musicians with a stubborn resistance to classification: folksy R&B slow jam singer-songwriter Dijon; energetic retro soul singer Jen Awad; and Rostam, the Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist, producer and seminal member of beloved indie rock band Vampire Weekend. It’s hard to imagine Awad emerging from anywhere other than L.A. By day a fashion designer downtown, by night the native Angeleno is a flamboyant, gutsy soul diva with a penchant for miniskirts, blood-red stiletto fingernails and irreverent asides. She’s released three EPs and a handful of boldly arranged singles in recent years, along with several clever videos that showcase her retro style flair as well as her humor. “Bad People” (“…need loving too”) finds her batting her eyelashes while roped in a chair, “Perils of Pauline”-style, before reversing the scenario and grinning at the camera while waving pistols at her former captors like a two-fisted Annie Oakley. Clutching a champagne bottle, she vamps through several costume changes like a gleeful ’60s starlet and pokes fun at herself for being “Hungover.” Awad credits her Egyptian-Peruvian family for her larger-than-life persona, but
her musical presentation takes cues from classic R&B heroes. Punchy arrangements benefit from a flashy horn section and stylish backup singers, as she advises listeners how to “Break a Man” and belts from-the-heart soul screeds like “Love is Dead” and “Night.” She also designs eye-catching outfits for herself and her band. If the visuals they project aren’t old school, the “we’re here to entertain you” tradition they acknowledge is. Onstage, Awad marches, stomps and shimmies like a punk go-go dancer, as she exhorts audiences to treat each other right and sing along on show favorites like “Basic Bitch.” Woe betide the lover or friend who takes her affection for granted. As quick as she is to crack jokes about herself and former friends, the heart she bares is boldly, endearingly human. Rostam, a celebrated genre-buster, draws enthusiastically from a wide range of musical influences. Since his good-terms split with Vampire Weekend in 2016, he’s only solidified his reputation as a mad-scientist producer. Using idiosyncratic production techniques, Rostam collapses the distance between “highbrow” and “lowbrow” music, often while employing a vast range of instruments from pianos to sitars to synthesizers. In a review of his 2017 solo album “Half-Light,” Pitchfork praised him as spearheading “a no-brow sound that cheerfully destroyed barriers between genres and borders.” Because his songs are widely consumed and often upbeat, Rostam is regularly classified as a pop musician, but the label is reductive. Songs on “Half-Life” were years in the making, featuring untold layers of instrumentation and a complexity that’s uncharacteristic of standard pop music. As artistic compositions, they most
Native Angeleno Jen Awad is a flamboyant, gutsy soul diva who is quick to crack jokes but not afraid to bare her heart closely resemble a collage. Since “Half-Light” he’s only released one new song: last September’s “In a River,” a jangly, mandolin-driven track about lovers skinny-dipping in the dark. On tour, it’s become a crowd favorite. When Rostam settled down to record the studio version, he used audio from a YouTube video, in which a San Francisco audience was clapping along, to guide his production. “I often want the songs I produce to be meeting places for organic and electronic sounds — old traditions and new ones,”
he explained in a recent statement. “‘In a River’ is new territory for me because although it’s a studio recording, it’s pulling from one of the oldest traditions in music, a live performance in front of an audience.” Such moments can be rare — so far, Wednesday’s concert is expected to be Rostam’s only show this summer. Twilight on the Pier concerts happen at 7 p.m. Wednesdays from Aug. 21 to Sept. 25. See santamonicapier.org for a complete schedule. August 15, 2019 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 13

Windward Chic
THE WEEKLY DISH
Gran Blanco is a stylish beach hang By Angela Matano Gran Blanco
80 Windward Ave., Venice (424) 433-8095 granblanco.com Cresting a distinct wave mixing laidback Aussie style with a bit of Tulum chic, the new Gran Blanco Restaurant & Bar extends Abbot Kinney’s sphere of hip-fluence further toward the beach. Run by the same people who own the nearby coffee shop Great White, this intimate space showcases a lot of white, natural wood and those enormous basket-y light fixtures that have become de rigueur as of late. A great place to stroll to if you live in the neighborhood, Gran Blanco should be absolutely nutso over the summer. The small menu feels more like a bar’s than a restaurant’s, but that said everything I tried was
The Tremendous Burger is too good to share delicious. One of the more substantial items, the Tremendous Burger, was thoroughly luscious, the double patties dripping with cheddar cheese and onions. I split it with a friend and immediately regretted not keeping it all to myself. The sides work well for sharing and are, in general, just inspired enough while still giving me everything I want from bar food. The Smashed Crispy Potatoes, more unique
MI XUN Teahouse Takeover @ Plant Food + Wine: Elevated plant-based cuisine gets a Sichuan twist on Abbot Kinney Boulevard when Tony Xu, executive sous chef of China’s MI XUN Teahouse, teams with Plant Food + Wine’s Matthew Kenney for a special pop-up menu featuring innovative vegan delights and traditional teas through Sunday (Aug. 18). Tickle your taste buds with purple sweet potato and yam cakes, dry lotus marinated with wasabi and sesame dressing, braised mapo tofu in wild mushroom sauce, and ice jelly with rose, fruits and nuts. Give your meal an extra crunch with the “Ice Plant” salad, featuring sesame dressing and greens native to China’s Sichuan province. Reservations required. matthewkenneycuisine.com
than french fries, provided all the yumminess I craved but with the sophisticated slant of garlicky crème fraîche. Marinated olives fill the snack bill, as do the crispy chickpeas with smoked paprika, Maldon sea salt flakes and garlic — a genius update on the traditional bowl of peanuts. Light options abound, from crudo to beetroot hummus to salads. Staying on trend while aiming to refresh, the cocktail menu at Gran Blanco really shines. Fun and spiky combinations span the menu, from papaya to passion fruit to elderflower. The Spicy Margarita with mezcal, watermelon and jalapeño was like a salve for my soul — summer, grown-up fun and a little bit of heat, all in one icy glass. With Menotti’s Coffee Shop and Teddy’s Red Tacos down the street, Windward Avenue may be the next ‘it’ street in Venice.
Get “Buzzed” @ Santa Monica Brew Works: In honor of National Honey Bee Day (Aug. 17), Santa Monica Brew Works (1920 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica) and urban beekeeper Paul Hekimian have created a honey-infused brown ale made with honey handharvested from Hekimian’s backyard hives of rescued “street bees.” (These critters are saved from roaming L.A.’s wild sidewalks alone and returned to sweet-andhomey hive life.) Savor this one soon: “We take only what we need from the bees,” says brewery spokesman Johnny Wardell, with limited-quantity 10-ounce pours starting at noon. santamonicabrewworks.com
