L e t t ers Election Anxiety in Marina del Rey Re: “A Three-Way Race for Supervisor,” News, May 12 No one who cares about the environment or the right of residents and visitors to recreation in Marina del Rey will vote for Napolitano. We’ve heard him at too many meetings. He will follow in Knabe’s footsteps. Long-term leases are coming to an end without the leaseholders having been required to maintain
their buildings. Now the very same leaseholders are being allowed to go from three stories to seven, blocking views and access to the water, and even dealing away a park on Marquesas Way that had been funded for residents and visitors. Napolitano doesn’t care about residents even though we pay high property tax, maintain our buildings and support local business all week long. Nor does he care about small craft, the
lovely sailboats that give the Marina its character — just put ‘em in a huge storage garage and charge ‘em, and make ‘em wait 40 minutes to get in and out! I was planning to vote for Janice Hahn, but if she thinks more water taxis will solve traffic problems here — with all the residents who head to work along Ocean, Admiralty, Lincoln and Washington (not to mention Via Marina, with all those new
apartment dwellers in Shores, Bar Harbor and Neptune) — she is not well informed. I liked Pacheco’s answers about traffic, residents, boat slip fees and the Ballona Wetlands. Maybe we could count on him not to back another sevenstory building along Via Marina in the heart of a residential district. Residential districts have been respected in other parts of the city; why not Marina del
Rey? The answer, of course, is the county budget. But Marina del Rey provides enough of its income already. Lynne Shapiro Marina del Rey Take a Second Look at Iceplant Re: “Hope and Frogs in Playa Vista,” Letters, May 5 Letter writer David W. Kay calls iceplant a “cancer” that should be removed, even at the expense of little frogs. That makes me sad. Iceplant is a beautiful, verdant ground covering that is drought resistant. In addition, its roots hold the soil, preventing erosion in wet weather. Its yellow, pink and purple flowers are magnificent. Why should iceplant suffer the derogatory approbation of “cancer”? That just ain’t right. Some say it is an invasive species. Well, guess what: Every species of plant living here was at one time an invasive species. Plant and animal species recede and move into other territories as climate and ground conditions change. We are a nation of invasive species, and we should celebrate and tolerate our differences. Those who want to tear out or bake out the beautiful iceplant should take a second look and see if they can enjoy the beauty of one of nature’s miracles before their eyes. Bruce Joffe Marina del Rey

Power to Speak
When Voting Rights Go Right Register to vote by May 23 — the state is spending an extra $16 million to make sure you can By Alex Padilla The author is California’s Secretary of State. If there’s one thing that every American should agree with, it’s this: Voting is the fundamental right in our democracy, the one that makes all others possible. The right to choose our representatives is why patriots dumped tea into Boston Harbor, why women marched for the 19th Amendment, and why 51 years ago people of all races joined together to win the passage of the Voting Rights Act. But one of the most insidious ideas in the 2016 election is that voting rights are negotiable. More than 20 states have enacted voting restrictions that could prevent many Americans from exercising their fundamental right to vote this November. We saw the logical outcome of these laws last month in Arizona, when local election officials closed 70% of polling locations in Maricopa County. We will never know how many people didn’t vote that day, frustrated by five-hour lines and overwhelmed poll workers.
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla The reason given in Arizona was “cost-cutting,” but it wouldn’t have happened if the Supreme Court hadn’t done some cutting if its own — in a 2013 decision that shredded the protections in the Voting Rights Act.
Before that decision, a place like Maricopa County with a history of disenfranchising people of color would have had to petition the U.S. Department of Justice before closing polling locations If Arizona is a story of when voting rights go wrong, California wants to be an example of when voting rights go right. Our voter registration has surged leading up to the June 7 primary, driven by hotly contested presidential races for both Democrats and Republicans. As the state’s top elections official, I asked the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown for emergency funding to ensure local elections officials could hire and staff polling locations and process additional ballots. Unusual in this fractured political climate, Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature voted unanimously to approve the funding, and Gov. Brown signed AB 120. The law provides an additional $16 million to all 58 California counties to help cover costs for the June 7 presidential primary as well as the verification of ballot initiative signatures
for the November general election. This money will also allow my office to hire more phone interpreters for the voter hotline and conduct polling place observations in all 58 California counties. California Democrats and Republicans are working together to expand access to voting. There’s no excuse for the partisan divide in our country around voting rights. But the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act has given free rein to those who want to try to cling to power by suppressing voter turnout. History shows that voter suppression is doomed to fail. We want people of all kinds to vote, regardless of political persuasion. That’s the path to true democracy, and California is leading the way. Make sure your registration is up-todate by visiting RegisterToVote.ca. gov before the registration deadline on Monday, May 23. A version of this article first appeared on the medium.com account of the California Democratic Party.

Three who Stopped SMC Shooter Get Medals of Valor
New Eagle Scouts Soar in Westchester Photo by Doug Mills (The New York Times) courtesy of SMPD
President Obama congratulates Medal of Valor recipients Capt. Ray Bottenfield (left) and officers Robert Sparks and Jason Salas A Santa Monica College police captain and two city police officers stood among 13 Medal of Valor recipients honored by President Obama at the White House on Monday. SMC Police Capt. Raymond Bottenfield and SMPD officers Jason Salas and Robert Sparks each received a Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor — the highest national award for valor presented to public safety officers — for putting themselves in harm’s way to end the deadly June 2013 shooting rampage at SMC. Bottenfield was off duty when he evacuated students from a counseling center en route to exchanging gunfire with mass shooter John Zawahri at the college library. Sparks and Salas also exchanged fire with Zawahri to end the shooting rampage that killed five people. “Officers Sparks and Salas displayed
great bravery and courage during a violent encounter. Their actions were instrumental in bringing an end to a fierce confrontation,” Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline A. Seabrooks said. “All of us who witnessed it felt such a deep sense of pride to see President Barack Obama recognize our SMC hero Capt. Raymond Bottenfield for his selfless act of valor,” said SMC Superintendent/President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery. “Our Santa Monica College community holds a debt of gratitude to Capt. Bottenfield, as well as officers Salas and Sparks.” Each of the three men “displayed courage and composure in ending a deadly rampage” and “placed themselves in mortal danger to save the lives of students and staff,” reads a White House statement. — Gary Walker

City Finally Wins One in Battle Over Santa Monica Airport The city of Santa Monica has won its first major ruling against the Federal Aviation Administration in the ongoing battle for control over Santa Monica Airport. On Monday the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a February 2014 lower court ruling to dismiss the city’s case based on a statute of limitations argument by the federal government. The initial 2013 suit sought to establish the city’s right to control future use of airport land, which is owned by the city though the FAA controls airport operations. Santa Monica argued before the appellate court that its lawsuit was “inextricably intertwined” with the statute of limitations argument. “This good news brings us one step closer to regaining control of city land now occupied by the Santa Monica Airport and to keeping our community healthy and safe,” Santa Monica Mayor Tony Vazquez said. “Now that the FAA’s statute of limitations argument has been thrown out, the case will finally go to trial on the merits of our claims. This is what we’ve pushed for all along, and we remain totally commit-
ted to establishing control of this land and using it in service to the whole community.” The FAA is reviewing the appellate decision, agency spokesman Ian Gregor said. Jonathan Stein, an attorney who lives in Santa Monica and has represented activists seeking to shut down the airport, was somewhat ambivalent about the appellate ruling. “This is good for the city, but not a decision on the merits. It is a handy tool to have in the box. We are deciding whether to intervene, given what a lousy job outside counsel has done,” said Stein, who has previously criticized the city’s handling of airport litigation. Santa Monica has been embroiled in several lawsuits with the FAA for nearly a decade, beginning when it sought to limit the types of aircraft that could land or takeoff from the airport. Prior to Monday’s ruling, the city had been unsuccessful in almost all of its airport-related lawsuits against the federal government. — Gary Walker
Sea Shepherd Drops Anchor in Marina del Rey After wrapping up a three-month patrol for illegal gill nets in the Gulf of California, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s Farley Mowat — a former Coast Guard Cutter that stretches 110 feet — dropped anchor in Marina del Rey last weekend to raise public awareness of its mission. Sea Shepherd began patrolling the gulf last year to fight the looming
extinction of the endangered vaquita porpoise. The Farley Mowat was continuing similar efforts to protect the critically endangered totoaba fish. In the process, crew members removed 42 illegal gillnets and 16 long lines, saving seven totoaba, 55 rays, dozens of sharks and a humpback whale. — Joe Piasecki

Manifest Destiny By Gary Walker Forty-seven minutes. That’s how long it will take — even at rush hour — to travel by train from Downtown Santa Monica to Downtown Los Angeles come Friday afternoon, when the western extension of the Expo Line opens to riders. A $1.5-billion attempt to turn the tide on Los Angeles’ automobile obsession, the 6.6 miles of new track and seven new stations west of Culver City bring light rail service back to Santa Monica for the first time since the fabled Red Car trolley system disappeared in the 1950s. But it isn’t just about Santa Monica. Expo is intended to serve Westside neighborhoods south of the 10 Freeway, too. Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus system recently reconfigured routes to take passengers to and from Expo Line stations from Westchester, Playa Vista, Venice, Mar Vista and Marina del Rey.
Big Blue Bus Line 1, for example, takes riders who board at Via Marina and Admiralty Way to the Downtown Santa Monica Station on Fourth Street in 20 to 30 minutes. From Main and
Line 14 travels from Bluff Creek and Campus Center Drive in Playa Vista to the Expo/Bundy Station in about 20 minutes via Centinela Avenue; Line 17 makes the trip from Marina
“We’ve been called a model mobility city, and this opening pretty much makes it a clincher.” — Santa Monica Mayor Tony Vasquez
Market streets in Venice the trip can take as little as 10 to 15 minutes. Line 3 takes riders from Manchester Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard in Westchester to the Downtown Santa Monica Station in about 35 minutes, or about 13 minutes from Lincoln and Washington boulevards.
Marketplace to the 26th Street / Bergamot Station within 25 to 30 minutes, stopping at Venice High School along the way. “Big Blue Bus’s involvement with bus routes was a major reconstruction effort. Every single bus line gets to the train. That’s a real baseline,” said Santa

Can the Expo Line fulfill the promise of mass transit in L.A.?
Monica Strategic Planning Manager Francie Stefan. “Now people who want to takes trips to Santa Monica and other communities can take the train without worrying about traffic jams. We’ve unlocked the dream of not having to sit in traffic,” she said. *** Metro projects the Expo Line’s western extension will serve an average of 18,000 to 20,000 riders each day in its first year of operation and as many as 64,000 daily riders by 2030. To bring Expo to the beach, Metro tapped proceeds from the Measure R half-cent county sales tax increase (approved by voters in 2008) for a large portion of the $1.5 billion in construction costs.

Not so long ago, ridership estimates and tax dollar investments like those were almost unimaginable. “It’s a little hard to believe that it’s happening,” said Mar Vista resident Ken Alpern, a longtime light-rail advocate for whom Expo’s completion culminates years of cajoling and at times even shaming elected officials into backing light rail on the Westside. “It’s been like the adventure of a lifetime,” said Alpern, who considers himself among a “second wave” of activists who buttressed the work of early Westside mass transit supporters such as Move LA Executive Director and former Santa Monica Mayor Denny Zane. “I’m proud to have been a part of it.” Darrell Clarke, a former Santa Monica planning commissioner, has been in the fight for 27 years. “You can imagine it, you can think about it, but seeing it will be a real thrill,” said Clarke, co-chair of the advocacy group Friends 4 Expo. Santa Monica Mayor Tony Vasquez recently took an Expo test ride from Culver City to Downtown Santa Monica. “I think it’s going to be a huge gamechanger for us. We’ve been called a model mobility city, and this opening pretty much makes it a clincher,” said Vasquez, a native of Santa Monica. Stefan has helped Santa Monica pave the way for Expo — and a more sustainable city overall — with more pedestrianfriendly sidewalks, the city’s Breeze bike share program, an expanded network of bicycle lanes and redesigned intersections to facilitate quicker light rail crossings. “We’re getting to a critical mass on transportation,” she said.

EXPO LINE EXTENSION FACTS Length of New Track: 6.6 miles from Culver City to Downtown Santa Monica Construction Cost: $1.5 billion Projected Ridership: 18,000 to 20,000 daily riders in 2016-17 Travel Time: 47 to 50 minutes from Downtown Santa Monica to Downtown Los Angeles (7th Street/Metro Center) Frequency: 99 eastbound departures from Downtown Santa Monica each weekday (trains depart every 12 minutes, from 4:42 a.m. to 1:02 a.m. the next day) Cost of a Ticket: $1.75 one-way or $5 for a day pass (Rides are free this Friday and Saturday) Opening Day: Service begins at noon on Friday, with celebrations happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at six stations (Downtown Santa Monica, 17th/SMC, 26th/Bergamot, Expo/Bundy, Palms, Culver City)
stations will discourage riders who aren’t willing to bus or bike to the train. Despite Metro’s five-figure daily ridership projection, the seven new stops west of Culver City have only 544 public parking spaces — combined. The Expo/Sepulveda Station (just east of the 405) has 260 spaces, 77 of which are reserved for monthly permits, and the Expo/Bundy Station has 217 spaces, 131 of them for monthly users. The 17th Street/Santa Monica College Station is the only Expo stop in Santa Monica with dedicated public parking — and with just 67 spaces at that, 13 of them set aside for monthly users. Why isn’t there more parking? “Most of the land along the Expo tracks is already developed. Acquiring property and building and maintaining parking would have cost millions more dollars on top of an already expensive project,” Steve Hymon, editor of the Metro-funded blog The Source, wrote in a Monday post. Though parking decisions are ultimately Metro’s to make, Alpern blames Santa Monica officials for encouraging an “anti-car mentality” at the expense of mass transit accessibility. “They have this theological, dogmatic belief that is not grounded in reality. And because of this anti-car mentality, they very well could slow down the Expo Line,” Alpern said. Rep. Ted Lieu, whose congressional district includes Santa Monica, Venice and Marina del Rey, voiced concern on his personal Twitter handle last week. “Bad idea to cut costs and not provide sufficient parking for Expo Line,” Lieu tweeted on May 14.

Station to Station
Explore the Expo Line as rolling public art tour If you plan to ride to work on Expo, your commute just got a little artsier. Take a look up at the gateway panels overhead and you’ll see splashes of color, sparkles of glass, the shine of metal. From mosaics capturing community life to whimsical landscapes of faraway lands, each station shows a slice of L.A. life and a bit of each artist’s personality. Last Friday, The Argonaut got a sneak peek at Expo’s four most westerly stations. When you ride, stop to take a look. — Christina Campodonico
Expo/Bundy For “And Here I Will Stay,” Angolan artist Nzuji de Magalhães looked to the neighborhood surrounding the Expo/Bundy Station for inspiration. A blue sash that looks almost like a blue-rimmed film strip runs through eight glass relief mosaic and hand-painted ceramic tile panels, showing faces, homes, streets and flowers of the community. “The sash is almost like a patchwork of fabric from multiple cultures that have lived in this area over time and live here now,” said Zipporah Lax Yamato, who project-managed bringing the artist’s work to Expo.
26th Street / Bergamot To create the images on 24 porcelain enamel steel panels for “Local Color” at 26th Street/Bergamot Station, artist Constance Mallinson walked around Santa Monica, taking pictures of the sights and objects she encountered. She superimposed and layered those images, creating explosive collages of bottle caps, rubber duckies, hacky sacks, tennis balls and beads on the beach, flowers pouring over each other and neon signs glowing one on top of the other.
17th Street / Santa Monica College For the 17th Street/ SMC Station, artist Carmen Argote collected clothes from friends, family and non-profit organizations to create “What You Wore, What You Wear” — 12 photographic porcelain enamel steel panels showing outfits and garbs from all walks of life. Argote set up a 21-foot long rack in her studio to shoot the hanging clothes and organized them into color piles on the floor, like a giant fabric artist’s palette. She was interested by “the rhythms of the commute” — squeezing into a crowded car, or waiting for the next train to arrive —but ultimately Argote found inspiration in your everyday commuter. “The clothes represent us,” she said. “The people who use the train.”
Downtown Santa Monica Raised by a railroad worker, artist Judithe Hernandez knows what it’s like to grow up around trains. “I knew what trains were like and I wanted to capture that moment where people can sit on a train and contemplate … to be like children again, to take reality and put it into a magical space,” said Hernandez when we arrived at the Downtown Santa Monica Station. Her 24 glass mosaics, collectively titled “L.A. Sonata,” do just that. Masked cats made-up for Carnival lounge by a Venetian bridge in a tribute to the floating city, a Viking woman goes off with her horse in search of adventure, and a Roman goddess holds court with Koi fish. Like Hernandez’s artwork, a ride from Downtown L.A. to Santa Monica is no longer a dream but reality.

A Creative Welcome Mat for Expo On Saturday a new kind of art party is pulling into Bergamot Station By Christina Campodonico On the grounds of what was a functioning railway station from 1875 to the late 1980s, Bergamot Station Arts Center was born because the trains stopped coming. Now that train service is coming back, Bergamot’s new inhabitants are celebrating the way they do best — with an art party. Visual arts, theater and music are in full bloom for EXPO-SÉ, Saturday’s arts and culture community celebration throughout the Bergamot campus, an expanse of 46 venues bounded by Olympic Boulevard, 26th Street and Michigan Avenue. The event officially kicks off with an 11 a.m. ribbon cutting for the Expo Line’s Bergamot Station / 26th Street stop, with Santa Monica Councilman Kevin McKeown, Bergamot Station Arts Center founder Wayne Blank and the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce doing the honors. But the fun doesn’t start or stop there. Several galleries are holding special art openings, receptions and events throughout the day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (officially) and well into the evening. “Cendrillon,” featuring the work of Cara Barer, opens from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Laura Korman Gallery. Barer dyes, ruffles and arranges pages from discarded novels, phone books, dictionaries and even a Windows 95 user manual to create sculptural objects reminiscent of flowers or spiritual mandalas that she then photographs. “When people look at it they think it’s a painting, but it’s actually a photograph,” gallery owner and EXPO-SÉ co-organizer Laura Korman says of Barer’s work. “It’s like sculpture that becomes a still life.” Korean artist Minjung Kim’s solo exhibition, opening at the Leslie Sacks Gallery at 5 p.m., takes similar inspiration from papery materials. In her work, she lights sheets of handmade Mulberry tree paper on fire, then pieces these scorched remnants together into flowery collages. “If you’re looking at her work, each little piece of paper is singed at the edges — kind of like pencils or ink,” says Leslie Sacks Gallery coordinator and event co-organizer Diana McNeill. “Since she’s using paper and fire, her works are all about rebirth and regeneration.” Things get a little risqué with painter Courtney Murphy’s leg-baring close ups of women swirling, lounging and spinning in voluminous skirts and dresses at Skidmore Contemporary Art Gallery. Knees slide past ruffles, ankles peek past hemlines and calves are exposed, creating sensuous, suggestive and voluptuous works. “My pieces all have their own story, but they have no one ending,” Murphy tells PAGE 14 THE ARGONAUT May 19, 2016

activities all day. In the evening, the EXPO-SÉ turns to live performance, starting with a 7 p.m. performance by the Venice Symphony Orchestra at Bergamot Station Café. Then the players of City Garage take to the stage at 8 p.m. for “Othello/Desdemona,” a radical reimagining of the Shakespearean tragedy (see page 41). Ultimately, EXPO-SÉ’s organizers hope that throwing this huge celebration of art and transit will have a “positive impact” on Bergamot Station Arts Center’s gallery scene. “We hope it will draw crowds from all over Los Angeles to a thriving and important cultural arts center,” says McNeill, speaking on behalf of the organizing committee. So hop on the train and don’t be late. A new kind of art party is pulling into Bergamot Station. EXPO-SÉ is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (with events continuing into the night) at Bergamot Station Arts Center, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica.

Bergamot Must Die
There’s no way Santa Monica’s arts mecca is going to survive city plans to ‘revitalize’ it Photo by Ted Soqui
By Charles Rappleye Bergamot Station started as an afterthought and thrived under the benign neglect of a city that had better things to do. Now the arrival of light rail has convinced the city of Santa Monica that it should “revitalize” Bergamot. That’s a good one. Like revitalizing Facebook, or Amazon, or the Golden State Warriors. None of them are broke and they don’t need fixin’. Same goes for Bergamot Station. The place is funky, it’s a little ramshackle, and it has its own internal divisions. But to judge by the crowds that routinely throng the place, Bergamot Station has been an unmitigated success, an anchor to an arts community that currently enjoys a global reputation for creative excellence. Yes, yes, Santa Monica’s officers and councilmembers are quick to acknowledge how they love and admire what’s been going on the past 20 years at the tucked-away, easily-missed former rail depot. But times are a’ changing, goes the council chorus, and Bergamot’s going to have to change with it. Change how? Let’s see … a six-story, 100-room hotel. More than 40,000 feet of office space. Restaurants, bars and retail shops. Perhaps a new building for an art museum. Oh, and 60,000 square feet of art galleries. More than $80 million in new investment. Seriously? Have the people promoting these features even been to Bergamot Station? You couldn’t begin to cram all that stuff on the Bergamot lot without first demolishing all the existing galleries. But, says the city, that’s the beauty of it. They’re going to rebuild the place from the ground up, starting with below-surface parking and working from there. And don’t worry about the galleries; they’ll be offered below-market rents to keep that funky feeling alive. Don’t bet on it. Developer Jeff Worthe is seeking an exclusive, 75-year lease from the city and would be setting his own terms just as he has in Burbank and Encino and other locations where he’s put up major high-rent projects. Worthe is based in Santa Monica and is collaborating with Frank Gehry on a huge new residential, commercial, hotel and retail tower on Ocean Avenue. The thing is a beast, but it’s at least suited to its downtown locale; such ambitions are distinctly out of place at Bergamot. Worthe was initially brought in as a compromise and asked to partner with Wayne Blank, the arts entrepreneur who
The new light rail stop at Bergamot Station may threaten the galleries that thrive behind it holds the current Bergamot lease due to expire next year. Blank is the person most responsible for development of the arts colony, in part by holding gallery rents well below market rate. But Worthe stopped talking to Blank months ago,
his progressive credentials. It was McKeown, speaking at the close of a four-hour hearing in September 2014, who succinctly framed the absurdity of the council’s position. There were at the time several competing plans, all of
“They have made it clear they have no interest in dealing with us. We are being hoodwinked.” — Bergamot Station gallerist Robert Berman
and Blank has dropped out of the partnership; Worthe will clearly be setting his own agenda. The developer did not respond to a message left at his office seeking comment for this story. What’s remarkable is that this has all unfolded in plain sight and over several years but now appears as a fait accompli. And all under the auspices of a City Council that boasts a slow-growth majority for the first time in years. Leading the charge to “revitalize” Bergamot is City Councilman Kevin McKeown, who likes to point out that he spent years as the council’s liaison to the City Arts Commission and takes pride in
which promised millions of dollars of new investment at Bergamot. “The majority of people we’ve heard from expressed some concern that what we’ve heard so far may be too much,” McKeown observed. What he drew from that, he said, was that “We have to build consensus before we can build.” Never mind that a majority of speakers would indicate a consensus right there; McKeown was seeking something more. It was clear that he recognized what was at stake. “The question to my mind that requires consensus,” McKeown mused at the hearing, “is can we revitalize Bergamot without overdevel-
oping it and inadvertently killing it.” This was the conundrum. It appears obvious to me that the answer is no, you cannot, but McKeown was not ready to stop there. “We can and should and probably must improve Bergamot,” he continued, “but we have to do it without destroying it and without replacing it and without losing its authenticity.” McKeown’s resolution that day was to throw the whole tangle over to an “advisory committee” charged with developing that elusive consensus he was seeking. More than a year later, that consensus has yet to emerge. Instead there has been a long round of palaver between Worthe and various “stakeholders,” with little resolution and few firm commitments. For the gallerists at Bergamot, however, the talks were a learning experience. In their encounters with Worthe they found they would be secondary to the process, getting little consideration as to the shape of redevelopment at Bergamot and less as to the future of their individual enterprises. With the imminent arrival of the Expo Line, those gallerists have now decided to band together in outright opposition to (Continued on page 16)

come down like a house of cards,” he said. It’s hard to disagree. Anyone who has been to Bergamot will recognize the unique ambience generated by the combination of loading-dock platforms and rusted-steel exteriors with pristine interiors displaying fine painting, photography and sculpture. It’s open, inviting and casual — even when the works on display bear price tags in the thousands of dollars. But all of this was apparent when the city first opened this can of worms, and it’s a little tardy to start raising the flag in opposition. Berman acknowledges that this surge of defiance comes late in the process, but says that while the art dealers were slow to awaken, they are now prepared to fight. “It took us some time, but now we’re being vocal. We’re being the squeaky wheel. This is a political battle, truth against power, and the City Council is going to have to take notice,” he says. Blank, holder of the current, expiring lease and a gallerist himself, says he supports the gallery operators’ union and shares their fears for the future. “It’s the City Council,” Blank said. “They’re going to blow Bergamot Station

the expansive plans of the city and the developer. In March more than 30 tenants at the site banded together in what they are calling the Union of Bergamot Station Galleries, with the express intent of supplanting Worthe as the leaseholder and continuing to operate Bergamot in its current incarnation. As stated in their petition, members of this ad-hoc union contend they can “successfully maintain the original organic feeling of the existing art gallery complex … while simultaneously enhancing and improving on it.” They propose a new restaurant and “a potential museum,” but all on a much lesser scale than that envisioned by Worthe and the city. Gallerist Robert Berman was the first signator to the petition, and is vocal in his frustration over dealings with the city and Worthe. “They have made it clear they have no interest in dealing with us,” Berman said in an interview. He says all the talk was just an effort to lull the gallerists into acquiescence. “We are being hoodwinked.” Berman says he believes even modest development at Bergamot will destroy the character of the place. “Once you change it a little it’s going to
The view from under a passing Expo Line train out of the water.” For himself, Blank says he’s ready to stand aside. He feels compromised, as he also owns property adjacent to the city’s holdings at Bergamot, and so his motives are easily challenged. “I’ve had enough,” he said. “All the smoke and mirrors and lies. I’m on the sidelines on this.” Blank can’t help but lament the threat to the vital arts complex that he fostered. But
if he’s standing back, he’s going to be a most interested spectator. “If [the galleries] want to keep the place they’re going to have to fight for it. But if they make enough noise they have a chance,” he said. Like Berman, Blank believes the ultimate decision will be a political one. “They’re going to have to change the City Council,” he said.

ET Comes Home
Marina del Rey celebrates the arrival of NASA’s last classic space shuttle tank — all 65,000 pounds of it By Evan Henerson Before taking a long and complicated journey to its new home, ET is spending a couple of days in Marina del Rey. And given what an enormously big … er … presence this ET is, the L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors is throwing this unusual guest a party Friday night before sending it on its way. No, this is not the second coming of a certain gravelly voiced alien from a beloved 1982 film — though the ET in question certainly has ties to outer space. ET is an external tank constructed to accompany the space shuttle on its many historic missions. Resting on the shuttle’s belly, these massive tanks stored more than 1.6 million pounds of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, essentially functioning as a shuttle’s gas tank. Once the entire fuel supply was depleted, about 70 miles above the earth, the tanks were designed to detach from the shuttle and
disintegrate into the atmosphere. NASA built new tanks for each mission. ET-94, the last remaining flight-qualified external tank in existence, never made it into space. Weighing 65,000 pounds, 154 feet long and more than 27 feet in

Prior to the tank’s departure, however, marina visitors can view it and enjoy festivities in its honor Friday night at Burton Chace Park. The park party from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday includes food trucks,
live music and space-themed carnival activities. Then at midnight, ET-94 leaves for its slow trek across town, a journey expected to take between 13 and 18 hours. ET-94’s route to the California Science Center takes it from Fiji Way to Lincoln Boulevard to Mindanao Way to the 90 Freeway to Culver Boulevard, the south on Lincoln to Loyola Boulevard before catching Westchester Parkway / Arbor Vitae Street on its way east through Inglewood. The entire move from New Orleans to downtown L.A. cost about $3 million, according to California Science Center officials.

ry fuel tank to spark a few selfies. “I watched it go through the Panama Canal and it got tremendous public interest,” said California Science Center President Jeffrey N. Rudolph. “I think the thing that will intrigue people more than anything else is that it’s a real piece of hardware that is part of the space shuttle. Knowing the story about it even makes it even more interesting.” That story includes the tank playing a role in the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia explosion that killed all seven crew members. A sister tank (ET-93) had been attached to Columbia, and during the two years that the shuttle missions were grounded, NASA investigators studied ET-94 to determine the cause of the explosion, eventually concluding that a piece of foam breaking off from the fuel tank had hit the shuttle’s wing and caused the catastrophe. Several sections of foam were removed from ET-94 during that investi-

through Inglewood, up Vermont Avenue and into Exposition Park. In addition to attracting gawkers, ET-94’s month long trip to California made a splash prior to its arrival. “Off the coast of Baja, our tug towing ET-94 rescued some folks whose boat had gone down. They were in a lifeboat,” Rudolph said. “They picked up four people, one of whom is Mexican and was picked up by the Mexican Navy. The other three are Americans and they took the rest of the journey with the tank.” “It’s really amazing,” he continued. “You couldn’t have made this up.”

gation, necessitating some repairs on the tank before it could be displayed. When NASA relaunched shuttle missions in 2005, the majority of remaining missions were to the International Space Station, a journey that required the use of super lightweight tanks (SLWT). NASA did not build any more standard light weight tanks (LWT) making ET-94 — the last remaining LWT — largely unusable. “One reason we didn’t get ET-94 so quickly was that there was some discussion of using it as a test article for launching the next generation of space vehicles being designed,” Rudolph said. “For some time there was discussion of it being displayed there at the facility where it was built, but NASA agreed it would be great to combine it with the orbiter and the solid rocket boosters so that there’s at least one place in the world that has the full stack of shuttle hardware.” Spectators can follow the tank’s journey out of the marina, across the 90, down Lincoln,

The Kitchen Behind the Bar Firestone Walker makes fantastic beer, but can they cook? Photo by Richard Foss
Industrial chic takes on a casual vibe inside the popular Firestone Walker Venice
By Richard Foss
richard@richardfoss.com
The Propagator (Firestone Walker Venice)
3205 Washington Blvd., Venice (310) 439-8264 firestonebeer.com Some things are destined never to be called by their real name. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award of Merit will always be called an Oscar, even though that nickname was based on an offhand remark at the second ceremony. The name is pithy in the way that no acronym could touch, and it’s embedded in popular memory. Have you heard about the new Washington Boulevard restaurant called The Propagator? No? What about the new Firestone Walker Brewing Co. taproom and restaurant? Thought so. Surprise, they’re the same place — technically the bar and restaurant are separate operations, even though there’s no clear division between the two. But what’s in a name? Whatever you call this place, it’s an overnight success. After only six weeks in business, the restaurant and bar is often packed. Firestone Walker Venice, as it’s also called, takes reservations and I recommend getting one, as there can be a crush as the evening progresses. The industrial interior design is reminiscent of a working brewery and is done with unusual cleverness, with some seating encircled by a wooden wall that is reminiscent of a giant barrel.
The staff is clever, too. A server who demonstrated knowledge of both food and beer offerings was happy to help with recommendations, and we ordered four food items even after being warned that three would be sufficient. We also ordered a fine Englishstyle unfiltered brown ale and a Berliner Weisse that lived up to the Napoleonic nickname “Champagne of the North.” The wait for appetizers was just long enough that we were ready to order second beers when the plates hit the table. Our starters were cauliflower tacos and a fried chicken Cobb that stretched the definition of that salad to the breaking point. There were only two ingredients in common with the traditional Cobb, avocado and hardboiled egg — three if you count the chicken, which was Southernfried instead of the usual roasted. Smoked tomato was an interesting and successful substitution for bacon, and the grilled corn and black beans were a nice addition. The missing elements were the blue cheese and onion, both of which add to the traditional version. Without those the dish feels out of balance, but I might come back to order another, ask that they add cheese and see what happens. The cauliflower tacos were perfect. The corn tortillas were handmade and fresh, the beer-braised vegetable combined with a good pico de gallo, chimichurri sauce and a bit of feta cheese. The three medium tacos were a fine appetizer and
would have been a good light vegetarian meal. For our main courses we ordered a tempeh banh mi sandwich, paired with a hoppy pilsner at our server’s suggestion, and a slow-cooked brisket complemented by a Union Jack IPA. The beers were excellent, but I had issues with both food items. Banh mi sandwiches balance fresh, spicy and pickled flavors with simply seasoned protein, but in this one the tempeh had been cooked in a heavy, smoky tasting sauce that overwhelmed the other flavors in the sandwich. I’ve had tofu and tempeh banh mi that were successful, but this one didn’t work for me. The slaw that came with the sandwich was more successful, with nice touches of vinegar tartness and jalapeno spice. If the kitchen would back off on the heavy sauce, the sandwich and slaw would be fine together. The brisket was more successful — very tender and slightly smoky — and the fried fingerlings that came with it were unusually flavorful. The only flaw was the grilled asparagus, which hadn’t been trimmed to remove the tough ends and had also been overcooked. Skinny vegetables like asparagus are easy to overgrill, and the problem may have just been a hiccup from a new and busy kitchen. We were considering ordering a slice of berry cheesecake when my companion noticed a pair of beers on the overhead sign that (Continued on page 50)

STAR PREP ACADEMY With all of the recent focus on STEAM education, schools are looking at new ways to incorporate these fields within the traditional school curriculum. Independent schools, which have more flexibility with school curriculum decisions, are using this flexibility to their advantage. One such program, STAR Prep Academy Middle and High School, is using their Field Science program to bring hands-on science opportunities to their students in order to engage them in new ways. While the traditional science classes at STAR Prep already have weekly labs, these outside science experiences tie the classroom material to the world that surrounds the students. In recent months, the students have tracked

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Over 900 students from public, private and independent schools.
California Newts in the local mountains, worked with the National Park Service to collect data on invasive crayfish, explored our waters for whales and dolphins and worked to restore local watersheds. Students respond to these activities with renewed enthusiasm around the sciences, which assists the teachers in relaying new material and increases the overall motivation of the students. This innovative addition to the academic program at STAR Prep Academy is a great example of how schools can engage their students in the sciences and create a community that truly succeeds in STEAM fields.

VENICE SKILLS CENTER
What’s the best kept secret in Venice… Venice Skills Center (VSC)! Located at 611 5th Ave. in Venice. The school also operates 9 additional campuses across West LA and is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

These classes provide adult students with the skills and knowledge to be job ready.

CHILDREN OF OUR SAVIOR Our Mission Statement Children of Our Savior has been commissioned by Our Savior Lutheran Church to serve the local community by providing a Christian environment where children and their families can come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior growing in faith and service to God and mankind. Early childhood education is a significant avenue for congregational mission outreach in the community and is a ministry to the families of young children by providing a parent program designed for support, encouragement, and opportunities that enhance the educational and development processes already present in the home. The young child is a gift from God (Psalm 127:3) and learns best about God’s world through experimentation
and exploration. Therefore, the early childhood program plans developmentally appropriate activities and values play as an avenue of learning. Early childhood education should provide a warm and loving Christcentered environment where children can develop to their fullest potential; physically, emotionally, socially, creatively, intellectually, and spiritually. Open from 7 am until 6 pm, most weeks of the year., two classrooms per age level. (Ages 2-6). VLicense #197409567 Accredited by NLSA (National Lutheran Schools Accreditation).

FEE WAIVER: If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the clerk for a fee waiver form. The court may order you to pay back all or part of the fees and costs that the court waived for you or the other party. The name and address of the court are (el nombre y direccion de la corte son): San Bernardino County Superior Court 351 North Arrowhead Avenue San Bernardino, CA. 92415-0210.

Box 881002 Los Angeles, CA. 90009, 310-902-2615. Date Jan. 08, 2016 Clerk, by Pauline Rodriguez, Deputy. STANDARD FAMILy LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. Removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. NOTICE-ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca. com or call Covered California at 1-800300-1506. WARNING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division or property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e. joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

By Christina Campodonico In “Othello/Desdemona,” City Garage Theatre playwright Charles A. Duncombe doesn’t just go off of Shakespeare’s “Othello” script; he flips it. In the original new play based on Shakespeare’s tragic story of a Moorish military man who rises to the apex of Venetian society only to fall into devastating jealousy, the protagonist Othello experiments with racial identity, his wife Desdemona craves freedom, his frenemy Iago is a punk rocker, and Desdemona’s bestie Emilia is transgender. “Shakespeare never loses its relevance,” says Duncombe. “But it’s fun and interesting and illuminating, I think, to take stories that we’re very familiar with and examine them in terms of our contemporary politics.” Among those modern issues that the premise of the play brings to mind is the one of racial self-identification, a controversial idea brought into public discourse last year when it came to light that Rachel Dolezal, a former NAACP chapter president who identified as black, was actually white by birth. Duncombe was intrigued by the idea of racial self-identification and saw it as a point of departure for “the reverse,” he says — “a black man just theatrically deciding, ‘I’m just going to be white.’” In the play, Othello (played by actor R.J. Jones) goes into whiteface, covering his visage in a light powder as he wrestles with his identity and role in society. The theatrical gesture is a pointed reversal of blackface, says Duncombe, that allows Othello to experiment with his racial identity but ultimately does not change how society treats him. “[Othello] believes that people will finally just see him for who he is, rather than how he looks. Of course it backfires,” says Duncombe.
Othello is isolated by racial prejudice and Desdemona is confined by gender expectations in City Garage’s “Othello/Desdemona” Like Othello, the playwright applies his radical theatrical experimentation to the tragedy’s other key characters. “In Shakespeare’s original, Desdemona is the classic stereotype of the male
embodiment of the perfect wife. She’s completely faithful; she’s innocent; she wants nothing except to support her husband’s story,” explains Duncombe. “We have this Desdemona who is literally
trapped in this huge, cage-like bed and she can’t stand it. … She sort of badgers and henpecks on Othello in her own frustration. She can’t escape her role, but she’s as trapped in her own role as [Othello’s] trapped in his.” Villain Iago is also reimagined, but as an Oz-like talking head who sports a punkish leather jacket, is projected onto a video screen, and speaks into a headset mic like a motivational speaker. “The Iago in our play almost exists solely in Othello’s head. He is the voice inside him that provokes him to question his own identity,” says Duncombe. Just like Iago does in Shakespeare’s play, he eggs Othello onto his own destruction, “but he does it with a different type of seduction,” hints Duncombe. Meanwhile, Iago’s wife and Desdemona’s friend Emilia — who traditionally delivers Desdemona’s handkerchief, a love token from Othello, to his lieutenant Cassio, making it look like the two are having an affair and inciting Othello’s lethal wrath — bends gender norms. “In our version, she’s a he who dresses as a woman,” explains Duncombe. Whether Emilia’s delivery of a deadly handkerchief precipitates Desdemona’s demise remains to be seen. But in “Othello/Desdemona,” perhaps the only thing to expect is the unexpected. “Othello/Desdemona” continues at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 3 p.m. Sundays through May 29 at City Garage Theatre, Bergamot Station Arts Center T-1, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A
Dealing With Powers Of Attorney You and your spouse own your home and you would like to sell it. However, your spouse is currently unable to sign the sales contract. This is because he is either out of the country in some exotic far-away-place where fax and overnight delivery is unavailable, or because he is physically and mentally unable to make decisions or sign legal documents. What to do? There is a document called a “power of attorney”, whereby your spouse signs a legal document authorizing you to act on his/her behalf. The giver of the power of attorney is called the Principal. The receiver is generally called the “attorney in fact”. The latter is given the right to act on behalf of the principal, for the purposes and functions spelled out in the legal document. There are two types of Powers of Attorney: 1. General — here, the principal authorizes the attorney in fact to take any and all actions as if the principal was taking them himself. This is also known as a Durable Power of Attorney. Keep in mind that your own State law may have specific requirements in order to sell real property by way of a Power of
A r t s
&
Attorney. Some states will not permit real estate to be conveyed by a General power of attorney. 2. Specific— here, the principal gives specific information and instructions to the attorney in fact. For example, sell my house located at 123 ABC Street; or write a $1,000 check to my insurance company from my bank account. The specific instructions are contained in the legal document, and the attorney in fact has no authority to exceed those instructions. If you plan to sell your house, and find yourself in the situation where one party in title will not be available to sign contracts, deeds or other legal documents pertaining to the sale, it is best to have your attorney draw up a Power of Attorney that meets your needs, as well as the legal requirements in the State where your property is located. The principal may want to put a time limitation on the Power — for example one or two months. However, with a durable power of attorney, the principal normally does not place any such limitations. The purpose of a durable Power is to assure that in the event the Principal becomes incapacitated, his
attorney in fact will be able to step in without having to go to Court. Let’s go back to our example. If your spouse knows in advance that he/she will be out of the country when you want to sell your house, have the Power of Attorney executed before the trip starts — and give a long lead time before the Power expires. However, if you do not have a Power of Attorney and your spouse suddenly has a stroke -- or is otherwise unable to comprehend and sign legal documents, then you will have to go to your local Court and seek permission to become the Conservator of the Estate of your spouse. This is a relatively easy (but potentially time consuming and expensive) process. The Courts, however, want to make absolutely sure that you are sincere in your efforts to represent your spouse and that your spouse is, in fact, not able to sign any legal documents. There is a lot of fraud involved, such as situations where children try to use the conservatorship route to take away property from their parents; accordingly, the Court will also look carefully at all of the facts, and if possible, will even interview the person to
whom the conservator will be appointed. I once attended an interview where the Judge went to the hospital to make sure that no one was taking advantage of the sick person. Preventive law is the key; consider obtaining a durable power of attorney now, while you both are in good health. Each spouse should sign a separate document, making the other spouse the attorney in fact. However, an alternative attorney in fact should also be designated, just in case both of you become incapacitated at the same time. Your local attorney should be consulted to make sure you are using the proper forms and that you fully understand the consequences of your actions. A Power of Attorney gives someone else the right to sell your house, and you want to make sure that you are not giving away the store. ThiS week’S queSTion iS anSwered by bob and Cheryl herrera, CA.

Fresh Prince of Belle-Stare My boyfriend “loves women.” When we’re out, he’ll check out and comment on every hot girl. I get that he’s just “appreciating their beauty,” but it makes me feel angry and insecure. How can I get him to stop? Why does he need to do this? — Unhappy Like the “g” in “gnarly-ass jerk,” the “Whoa … wouldya look at the Humpty Dumplings on her!” is supposed to be silent. You might take your boyfriend’s babe-ernecking less personally if you recognize that male sexual attraction is visually driven in a way female attraction is not — which is why strip clubs catering to men are big business while those for women are largely a bachelorette party novelty. Sure, women like a nice view if they can get it, but if they have to make a trade-off, they’re likely to go for the weak-chinned self-made gazillionaire. This is reflected in research by anthropologist John Marshall Townsend. He showed men and women photos of hotties and homelies of the opposite sex, dressed in either a Burger
King uniform or biz exec-wear and a Rolex. When he asked which they’d go for, men were indifferent to how the woman was dressed — picking the hottie no matter what she was wearing. Women, on the other hand, went for the homely business dude and tended to nix even a hookup with the hot hamburger helper. There are also some indications that, just by looking at those on the babe squad, parts of the male brain’s reward circuitry get activated in ways women’s do not. In brain imaging research on both male and female subjects, cognitive scientist Jasmin Cloutier found that only men looking at photographs of hotties got the lights turned on in the orbitofrontal cortex — part of the brain that’s thought to suss out potentially rewarding stuff on our horizon and give us a “Yoo-hoo! Over here!” Reward circuitry aside, there’s “window shopping” and then there’s “window announcing.” Though (sorry, ladies) all men look, the kind and loving ones don’t get caught (and especially don’t marvel aloud). In other words,
what’s worrisome about your boyfriend’s behavior is what it says about the kind of partner he is to you. When somebody loves you, they want to make you feel good — not like you’re comparing poorly to half the female pedestrians jiggling down the sidewalk. The way to approach this is to explain how much this behavior hurts your feelings. As father of behavioral economics Adam Smith noted, evoking somebody’s empathy tends to motivate them to try to make things better. Telling them what to do, however, tends to backfire, leading to cries of “Vive la revolution!” As for how you’d like things to change, let your boyfriend know that you just don’t want to see him gaping or hear about it. Okay, he appreciates women as these moving pieces of art. Museums are quiet. Men aren’t yelling at the Mona Lisa, “Hey, girl, I’ll give you something to smile about!” Likewise, in a relationship, there are legit cries for help, but one of them is not “Help, I’ve fallen down her cleavage and I can’t get up!”

There’s a reason that the Miss World pageant lacks a mathematics category, in which contestants come out smiling and waving and then do one of the world’s great unsolved math problems in their head: “And now, ladies and gentlemen, we’ll watch as
Miss Uruguay proves that the 196-algorithm does not terminate when applied to the number 196.” Obviously, beauty isn’t everything. In fact, according to research by economist Jeremy Greenwood, a smartypants, highly educated guy is more likely than ever (compared with, say, 1960) to require his bride-to-be to be similarly smarty-pants and highly educated. What hasn’t changed is male sexual desire. Because it’s intensely visual, it’s reassuring for a woman to hear that the way she looks is driving a guy wild.
Men like to know they’re making a woman happy — or at least how they might have some hope of that. So, put it in those terms: “Baby, you know what I’d love…?” rather than “Buddy, you know how you’re failing me…?” (Gently remind him until he gets in the habit.) A positive approach like this tends to be the most effective, tempting as it may be to hint that noncompliance will lead to severe sanctions: “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, if you ever want nookie again, you’d better say something nice about my outfit.”

Keeping the Circle Unbroken Grammy winner Tim O’Brien teaches and learns from the next generation By Bliss Bowen When Tim O’Brien comes to McCabe’s this Sunday, the native West Virginian will have more than 30 years and almost 20 albums worth of material to choose from, including 2005’s Grammy Awardwinning “Fiddler’s Green” and last year’s “Pompadour.” That presents unique challenges when constructing a setlist. “I’ve got this record ‘Pompadour,’ and one of the songs depends on a banjo, so I carry a banjo, so that means I can play [other] songs I like on the banjo. So that shapes it a little bit. It’s hard. But I try to feature stuff from recent records so I can sell the things. They’re kind of calling cards, records are; they also pay the gas and the motel bill,” he says. O’Brien is likely to bring his guitar, mandolin and fiddle too. Laughing, he says, “I need to change things up to keep myself on task. Maybe it’s an ADDD thing.” The amiable songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is conversing over the phone, his dog occasionally barking in the background, while eating lunch at home in Nashville. He’s established a comfortable niche since settling in Tennessee, playing on myriad bluegrass and country albums and writing songs recorded by the likes of Garth Brooks, Dixie Chicks, Kathy Mattea and Nickel Creek. He’s also toured with Steve Earle’s Bluegrass Dukes, Mark Knopfler, and fellow songwriter-instrumentalist Darrell Scott, with whom he’s made three duo albums. Rich in harmonies and melodic songcraft, O’Brien’s recordings with Scott are among numerous collaborative projects he’s engaged in between solo recordings. Since first making his name with Colorado bluegrass ensemble Hot Rize, he has recorded old-time songs with velvetvoiced sister Mollie O’Brien; explored traditional Appalachian music with Dirk Powell and John Herrmann on 1998’s

Or you put up a frame, like, ‘OK, I’m going to find songs that are sung in both America and Ireland; maybe I should write songs about the experience of leaving, the experience of returning’ for ‘The Crossing.’ You put up the structure and you learn things as you go. “I love that.

actually talk onstage about where he learned the song. Pretty soon you’re looking for Mississippi John Hurt and Robert Johnson, and then you’re looking for other people connected to those guys.” Decades later, he found himself sharing a festival stage with Watson; he tells an amusing story about asking his band to sit out when Watson sat in. Now it’s O’Brien’s turn to be a bridge between generations. He’s producing an album for old friend J.D. Hutchison and he makes himself available to younger players, whether jamming at shows or co-writing with traditionally schooled artists like Sarah Jarosz. “I’m in great debt to these people that went before me. And it becomes obvious with someone like Sarah that you are carrying this tradition. I’d heard her play once or twice, and when I was playing in Austin she asked if she could get a lesson; she didn’t need a lesson, but at the end she wanted to play songs that she learned from my records. I went, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ You don’t want to disappoint these people [laughs]. I’m humbled by that. So I cultivate it. “It took me a while to learn things, and it still does. I like to compare notes with these kids. They’re studying the same things and maybe have new insights. If I have anything to offer them, it’s theirs. I want it to keep going … the music is really not mine. We’re just kind of here in a brief instant of time, really, each human being, and we’re passing stuff back and forth. It’s humbling that people are studying you, and then it’s also heartening, that maybe things will work out. Maybe I am onto something that’s worthwhile. You kind of wonder sometimes.”

The Kitchen Behind the Bar (Continued from page 21) didn’t appear on the menu. They turned out to be an imperial stout and a barley wine. We were quite surprised that the servers hadn’t mentioned these, as they are styles that are prized by beer aficionados. Both beers were superb ways to finish a meal — the barley wine reminiscent of a sherry, the stout chocolatey and fruity and slightly akin to a port wine. These were the best beers we had all evening, and servers should make sure diners know they exist. Dinner for two at The Propagator (and I had to check the beginning of this article to remind myself of the name) ran $95, including three excellent beers each. I have visited Firestone Walker’s restaurant by their brewery in Buellton and know the company can support a great dining experience that highlights fantastic beer. They have the start of one here in L.A. — it just needs a little work on the details. PAGE 50 THE ARGONAUT May 19, 2016
