Hall of

Covered California will help DT

By Ellen Snortland LA Downtown News Contributing Writer

Florynce Kennedy, the late, great feminist and civil rights attorney, once said, “There are very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. All other jobs should be open to everybody.”

Having just emerged from a greeting card-rich season, receiving Hannukah, Christmas and New Year’s cards aplenty, Florynce’s quote reminds me of another pet peeve of mine: who typically sends them. (Hint: It’s not men.) When I ask my husband Ken to sign a card, he says, “You sign it; I don’t do cards.” He’s a wiz at creating custom-made cards when it’s my birthday or our anniversary, but he rarely sends one to anyone else. And that reinforces my decades of experience regarding who performs the sweet and caring “jobs” in our society. Card occasions — for instance, sending sympathy cards — reveals that card sending falls into a gendered category. Do you really need a vagina to go to the effort of mailing a holiday or condolence card? Apparently so. Case in point: I received many beautiful and heartfelt cards upon the news of my sister Alane’s death, and not one was from a man. Oh, sure, plenty of men signed them, which I appreciate… but still.

I really don’t want this to come off as finger-wagging but rather as a “hmm…” moment. After all, my column is called “Consider This” for a reason! And one reason I can’t point any digit at anyone else is that I am an utter failure at card sending of any kind. That’s yet another place where anti-feminists can call me a feminine failure. I attribute my card-sending phobia to watching my usually sanguine and nonswearing late mother become a muttering, fussing and cursing demon woman during “card-sending season,” starting around Thanksgiving and ending a couple of weeks before Christmas. She had a spreadsheet that she used to log cards that were sent to us, and when we didn’t receive one, she gleefully checked them off the list. With a nod to “Seinfeld’s”“Soup Nazi”… “No card for you!” She could have also yelled, “And less emotional labor for me!” She sure didn’t create a future for me to look forward to as a grown woman. “Gee, I can’t wait to do what Mommy does!”… not.

Frankly, the time squeeze most working families experience right now doesn’t leave much room for “niceties.” My husband and I are working our tails off 24/7 to make ends meet. But I know other people like us, and the woman often manages to send a card. They are better people than I am.

Back to the gendered aspects of cards. Isn’t a floral arrangement a more expensive and flashier version of a card? Plenty of men send them, including my own husband and a retired male police captain who embodies traditional masculine values. Both of them are amazingly quick and agile about sending flowers.

I suggested to our friends who also care about this retired cop that we send him flowers upon a significant occasion in his life and… crickets. Why aren’t flowers for men acceptable? I know that men like flowers, as I’ve witnessed several men in my life expressing joy at receiving them.

Hey, florists! Aren’t flowers something you could start to market for men? I can see the campaign slogans:

• Flowers for the fellas!

• Strap-on corsages are for strapping people. That’s you, dude!

• Make your day with a bouquet!

Granted, those aren’t great rhymes, but you get the gist. You’d think card companies would jump on the marketing bandwagon to “butch up” the idea of cards to all the manly men out there. However, there could be an explanation as to why they don’t.

As you may recall, Susan Faludi’s 1991 bestseller “Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women” revealed that some companies would rather lose money than deal with having low sales numbers from women. For example, at the time, women didn’t like to buy frilly, fancy lingerie but men did as, I guess, aspirational gifts to their female loved ones. That American corporations would willingly damage their bottom — word used advisedly — lines is counter-intuitive, except for upholding archaic notions of femininity and masculinity. “Backlash” is still on many “must-read lists” if you want to understand matters involving Americans and gender. If you’ve read it, considering the last five years it’s worth a revisit, that’s for sure. Sadly, I’m also pretty sure it will still be as relevant as it was over 30 years ago. Anyway, back to cards. I am really beating myself up for all the cards I never sent! And I wonder if people have noticed. And then, if they did notice the card deficit from me, did they then wonder why my husband didn’t send a card?

I wonder what Florynce Kennedy would say about this. I think she’d agree that people with penises certainly can send cards, and it’s about time they do. In the meantime, fellas, thanks for signing your wife’s card to me. I noticed your signature. How about next year you send it and have her sign it. That’d be a twist.

LAPD Chief Moore requests 2nd term

By Morgan Owen LA Downtown News Staff Writer

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore has requested that he be reappointed for a second five-year term by the Board of Police Commissioners. On Dec. 27, Moore submitted his request in a letter to the board which highlighted his “strong desire” to remain in his leadership position and the work he believes his term has already accomplished. Moore’s current term will end in June of this year.

“It has been my great honor and privilege to serve as chief of the Los Angeles Police Department,” Moore said. “Over the course of the last four and a half years, we have accomplished significant reforms, enhanced training, and expanded transparency and accountability.

“While much has been accomplished, there remains more work to be done. It is my strong desire to continue leading this department as it strives to improve public safety and trust as we pursue the best practices of

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore is seeking another five-year term.

21st-century policing.”

Moore is a 40-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. After he joined the department in 1981, Moore became a captain in 1998. In 2002, the department promoted him to the rank of commander, and in 2004 he was promoted to deputy chief. From there, Moore continued to rise through the ranks until he was sworn in as the 57th chief of police for the city of Los Angeles in 2018 by Mayor Eric Garcetti.

If Moore is reappointed, his term will coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics, both of which are high-profile policing challenges.

In response to Moore’s letter, commission President William J. Briggs II scheduled a vote to approve or deny Moore’s application for the next Board of Police Commissioners’ meeting on Jan. 10. However, Mayor Karen Bass stepped in to delay the vote.

The same day Moore came forward with his candidacy, Bass responded to his intent, stating that she has “been notified of Chief Moore’s request for reappointment. He and I will meet soon to discuss his request and my vision to keep Angelenos safe in every neighborhood.”

Other than securing a delay in the board’s vote, the new mayor has made no further statements on her views regarding Moore’s candidacy. Moving forward, the Board of Police Commissioners has just less than three months to approve or deny Moore’s application.

Bass’s hesitation on Moore’s swift reappointment comes in contrast to an email Moore sent to the Los Angeles Police Foundation, informing them of his application for another five-year term. According to published reports, Moore stated he had “discussed (reappointment) with Mayor Bass and enjoy her full support.”

Moore has since apologized for his statement but emphasized Bass is not the person to decide on his reappointment. That power lies with the LA Board of Police Commissioners, all current appointees of Garcetti. To earn reappointment, Moore only needs an affirmative vote from three of the five board members.

Bass must, however, approve of the board’s decision and has the power to remove a sitting police chief at any time. With the delayed vote, there is also still time for the LA City Council to weigh in regarding Moore’s reappointment. If 10 members of the LA City Council choose to oppose the Board of Police Commissioners’ decision, they can veto that vote.

One concern regarding a swift reappointment process is the difficulty administering public comment. Now that the vote is postponed, Angelenos will have additional opportunities to come forward in support or opposition to Moore’s continued leadership.

Public opinion toward the LAPD has improved over the last two years. However, the department is still met with sharp criticism regarding the profiling and treatment of different racial groups. In a 2022 survey conducted by Loyola Marymount University using questions developed by Study LA, results showed that 66% of respondents felt the LAPD racially profiled Black Angelenos more than other groups.

When asked about reform, an area Moore highlighted as a success of his leadership, only 19.3% of respondents said they felt the LAPD was doing a better job than other departments at implementing police reform. That being said, overall approval ratings of the LAPD have increased over the last two years, with around half of respondents saying they were “somewhat satisfied” with the performance of the LAPD.

“While there are still areas of friction, Angelenos today are more likely to have positive things to say about the police department than in our previous survey,” said Brianne Gilbert, managing director of StudyLA. “It may be that now, two years after high-profile protests and national discussion around police violence, public opinion no longer reflects shock and disbelief.”

Currently, there is no date scheduled for a vote on Moore’s application; however, his candidacy will be discussed at the Jan. 10 meeting for the Board of Police Commissioners. Although an agenda has not been published for the LA City Council’s next meeting, the date has also been set for 10 a.m. Jan. 10.

Famed cellist joins LA Chamber Orchestra for Glendale performance

By Luke Netzley LA Downtown News Deputy Editor

For the past 55 years, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) has provided an artistic outlet for some of the most prolific musicians in LA from its offices in Downtown.

On Sunday, Jan. 15, the ensemble will be joined by cello virtuoso Sheku Kanneh-Mason for a performance at Glendale’s Alex Theatre.

“Our musicians are primarily from the film and television industry. They’re top studio players,” said Ben Cadwallader, executive director at LACO. “I like to joke that, I would say 99% of people in America have heard the musicians of LACO perform before. If you’ve watched a Marvel movie, “Star Wars” movie or Pixar movie, the chances are you’ve heard our players perform. These are really among the top musicians on the planet, and when they get together, because it’s not a full-time orchestra, it’s what we call a per-service orchestra. … It really is like family coming back together.

“They love making music together and

you hear that in the intimacy and the connectedness of the music that they make. Our audiences and the communities that we serve really come to us for that kind of personal connection to the musicians and to the art.”

Cadwallader described each performance as a homecoming and expressed particular excitement for the Alex The -

atre show and the arrival of Kanneh-Mason, who Cadwallader named as “one of the world’s best cellists right now.”

Kanneh-Mason, winner of the 2016 BBC Young Musician competition and the first Black musician to win the award since its launch in 1978, will perform Austrian composer Joseph Haydn’s famed Cello Concerto in D Major. The orches -

tra, conducted by music director Jaime Martín, will also perform French composer Joseph Bologne’s Symphony No. 1 in G Major as well as the works of siblings Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, including Overture in C Major and Symphony No. 4 in A Major, also known as “Italian,” to conclude the program.

“We are so lucky to have (Kanneh-Mason) performing with LACO,” Cadwallader said. “Jaime Martín and Sheku have worked together many times before. They love each other. They have very similar energy. Jaime’s energy from the podium and Sheku’s energy as a soloist work really nicely together. And the piece that they’ve chosen, Haydn’s Cello Concerto in D Major, this is a pretty traditional piece of music and true capital city classical music.

“As a lover of classical music, I, along with many in our audience, are really looking forward to seeing what the two of them bring out each other and out of the orchestra for this long-awaited solo appearance with LACO.”

It’s an appearance that Cadwallader

described as years in the making, as Kanneh-Mason’s 2018 LACO debut was postponed after he was invited to perform Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding the same weekend. The performance was rescheduled for the end of the orchestra’s 2019-20 season, which was canceled due to COVID-19.

A graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Music, Kanneh-Mason is now a Decca Classics recording artist and was appointed a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2020 New Year’s Honours List. He also became the first cellist to reach the UK Top 10 after his 2020 album “Elgar” hit No. 8 in the main UK Official Album Chart. He plays a Matteo Goffriller cello from 1700, which is on indefinite loan to him.

“It’s a really wonderful program that has been put together and we’re thrilled to be presenting at the Alex Theatre,” Cadwallader said. “Being together, experiencing live music, experiencing beauty together, that’s a singular kind of shared human experience, and we have a lot of

folks who are really hungry to get back together and experience that together. Our responsibility, of course, is to do that in the safest way possible, and so we strongly encourage mask wearing, but we don’t require it.

“One of the great things about the Alex, they have that outdoor food court area and during intermission it’s so nice to see people socializing together in a group outdoors … talking about the concert, having a glass of wine, maybe some snacks.

“That is really one of my favorite things about the arts: It’s experiencing the art itself, but it’s also having the opportunity to connect with other people around where they have this shared interest around the art. … Getting to do that at the Alex, it’s a perfect place for it and we really do strike a great balance between making sure it’s a safe environment where people feel comfortable and also allowing space for that singular, social connection that only the arts can provide.”

College Football Playoff Fan Fest takes over LA Convention Center

By Luke Netzley LA Downtown News Deputy Editor

Ahead of the highly anticipated College Football Playoff National Championship game between the TCU Horned Frogs and Georgia Bulldogs on Monday, Jan. 9, the Los Angeles Convention Center will play host to Playoff Fan Central, a free interactive experience that will fill the center’s South Hall from Friday, Jan. 9, to Sunday, Jan. 8.

“What’s

bring a major event to town, a lot of times, when it’s at SoFi Stadium or any stadium, it’s a ticketed event and a lot of people can’t participate,” said Kathryn Schloessman, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission. “This one is free to the public. We are so excited. … People can come down and bring their kids, (enjoy) interactive experiences, games, pho -

to ops and meet college football alumni.

“Remember going to carnivals as a kid? … That’s kind of what it is, but on a much more sophisticated and specific to college football experience.”

Along with family-friendly activities like the 40-yard dash or the “Puppies at the Playoff” canine football game, fans can kick field goals, run routes lit by LED ground strips, and throw footballs through suspended tire targets. They’ll also be able to get autographs signed by former players and coaches and take photos with the Heisman Trophy as well as the “New Year’s Six” trophies.

On Sunday, the Convention Center South Hall will host both the TCU and Georgia bands, who will perform at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.

Throughout the weekend, the 200,000-square-foot space will expect a crowd of up to 50,000 people. Schloessman described it as a “college football nirvana for any sports fan … honestly anybody who’s looking for family entertainment.”

“Anytime you bring a major event,

you’ve got economic impact and community impact,” Schloessman explained. “The economic impact we’re estimating is about $225 million, bringing in college football, because it’s not just the game, it’s the fan fest. We have two free concerts Saturday and Sunday at the Bank of California Stadium. We’ve got a 5K run, a Taste of the Championship (dining experience and fundraiser). So that’s important, but the thing that really gets everybody’s heart is the community impact.”

As part of the Playoff Fan Central experience, fans will be able to partake in the College Football Playoff Foundation’s “Extra Yard for Teachers” installation, a bus split into two halves representing the Horned Frogs and Bulldogs. On each half, there are three windows that open and close at timed intervals beneath a live scoreboard on the roof. For every football that goes through an open window, the foundation will invest a dollar into the LA school system.

“College football is very much about supporting teachers and getting them the materials that they need,” Schloess -

man said. “For our legacy program (called ‘Champions Educate Here’), we chose 46 teachers who were using sports movement and play to get kids back into the classroom and we gave them a grant to help further their work. We are doing promotional videos around it, and then in partnership with the College Football Playoff Foundation, we’re opening an eSports lab tomorrow down in Inglewood.

“It’s the stuff we very badly need in our education system, but we love the fact that we’re honoring and recognizing these amazing teachers.”

Historically, every team that has won the College Football Playoff Foundation’s fan toss at Playoff Fan Central has gone on to win the national championship game.

Alongside providing educational opportunities, Schloessman also emphasized the importance of uplifting local diverse businesses, specifically through the NFL’s “Business Connect” program

that helps support minority-, women-, LGBTQ- and veteran-owned businesses.

“The College Football Playoff team has embraced it, and we have 220 local businesses … who do anything in the event production space, from bringing porta-potties in to caterers to chauffeurs, bus companies,” Schloessman described. “We’ve provided them opportunities to get contracts around these major events.

… The (College Football Playoff) team really embraced this and really drove this message home to their partners that they need to hire our local diverse businesses to put on their event, and that helps keep the money in LA and give opportunities to our local residents.”

With the doors to the Convention Center’s South Hall opening at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 6, fans without a ticket to the national championship game will be able to take in the sights, sounds and atmosphere of College Football at Downtown’s free Playoff Fan Central experience.

Gozonsky’s mission: 247 tennis courts

By Morgan Owen LA Downtown NewsContributing Writer

By his own description, Mark Gozonsky is “by no means a great tennis player.” In his 50 years of playing, it was clear to Gozonsky he would never be the best. But as the recently retired high school English teacher described his quest to play at all 247 public tennis courts in LA County, it became clear that to him that success isn’t just defined by trophies.

“A lot of (my quest) harkens back to my earliest self — my 5- or 6-year-old self, running the garden hose in the gutter trying to make a dam, (or) playing basketball by myself and narrating the game,” Gozosky explained. “There have been many outcomes (to this mission), and so far, one of them is delighting myself.”

When Gozonsky’s daughter, Claire, first suggested he attempt to play ten -

nis at every court in LA, Gozonsky said he thought the idea was complete balderdash. But as the first year of his retirement crept on, the idea began to grow on him. Maybe it wasn’t so crazy.

Gozonsky sat down and outlined the parameters of his mission. At first glance, he found around 500 public tennis courts, but a lot of those were on public school property. He didn’t want to walk up to random high schools and play tennis on the students’ court, Gozonsky explained, so those were eliminated from the list.

Then Gozonsky got to thinking about how he would get to all these tennis courts. Doing so much driving seemed like a lot of unnecessary carbon in the air, so Gozonsky said he decided to exclusively travel using only his bicycle or public transportation.

“I think that getting there is an essential part of the quest,” Gozonsky said.

“(Taking public transportation) is an ecological statement, but it’s also about demonstrating that I’m on LA’s team. I really want to be present for LA in its moment of dire crisis.”

For Gozonsky, being present means acknowledging the duality of LA’s troubles and its beauty. He described how often he sees unhoused people on the streets but highlighted the city’s beauty through multiculturalism.

“One of the best things about this quest is seeing the sun come up over LA’s (squalor) and the homeless tarps, but then when the sun is coming up you think, ‘Maybe it will all work out anyway.’ The dawn is so inherently homeful and beautiful, especially around Crenshaw.”

In this journey to play tennis on every court in LA using only public transportation, Gozonsky said he feels like Don Quixote letting Rocinante choose the path. He selects tennis courts in no par-

ticular order, instead focusing on where he wants to go at the moment rather than working through his list of locations methodically. The point, explained Gozonsky, is that “the extent of the journey matters less than where you go.”

A typical expedition day for Gozonsky includes getting up before dawn to catch the 33 bus on Venice Boulevard. Oftentimes, he said, he’s riding the bus with security guards or lineworkers heading in to work before sunrise. He acknowledged that having two and a half hours to reach a court and two and a half hours back home using the bus is a privilege of being retired. Once Gozonsky arrives at his location, he said he usually ends up walking half a mile.

“You see people hauling their (belongings) all over LA, and here I am with a huge tennis bag on my back,” Gozonsky said. “It goes back to being on Team LA. … It’s one way of being of the

people.”

In visiting 64 out of 247 tennis courts, Gozonsky has met people from all over the world. He has made lifelong friends. One unexpected takeaway Gozonsky said was that he has used social media to connect with potential teammates.

Everyone is “really friendly and dependable,” he said. “I think the folks who I have met on these courts, the one thing that they have in common is that they showed up. Tennis players have integrity.”

Gozonsky reflected that another reason he embarked on this quest was that he wasn’t ready to resign himself to being “kind of good, but not really good” at tennis. He loved the sport and wanted to find something he could distinguish himself in his own special way.

“(I wanted to know) what else could I do that would make me my own kind

of exceptional athlete given my skill set. And that is when I (thought), who else is playing on every public tennis court in LA?” Gozonsky wondered.

And when Gozonsky goes to play at the courts, he does use the opportunity to try and improve his skills. He recounted his visit to Syd Kronenthal Park when he brought his daughter Claire, who also plays tennis. Gozonsky said Claire was concerned about how deep he was hitting the ball into the court, and the whole time they played the two worked on that skill.

Another time, he ventured out to Almansor Park in the San Gabriel Valley. There, a woman asked if she could teach a lesson to anyone sitting by the court. Gozonsky chimed in and said, “Yeah! And could you let these guys know I’m on a quest to play tennis at every court in LA?”
