A Race to Remember Firefighter runs L.A. Marathon’s 5k for colleague who died in Westchester explosion

By Lawrence Yee For firefighter Tony Guzman, it’s symbolic that the Los Angeles Marathon’s LA Big 5k race went through Elysian Park. In Greek mythology, Elysium is the final resting place of heroes.

Guzman ran Saturday’s precursor to the marathon in memory of his late colleague Brent Lovrien. In 2008, Guzman and Lovrien — then both members of Fire Station 95 in Westchester — responded to a fire at an office supply store on South Sepulveda Boulevard. While they were investigating the fire, an explosion seriously injured both men.

Lovrien, just 35 years old, succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital. Guzman remained hospitalized for four days.

“He was a young guy,” Guzman recalled.

“He didn’t have any wife and kids. But his loss was tragic because he reported for work that day and never went home.

It really destroyed his family.”

Nearly 11 years to the day of the fire, Guzman joined the Widows, Orphans & Los Angeles Firefighter Tony Disabled Firemen’s Fund to honor Guzman ran in memory of Brent the heroism of Lovrien and others Lovrien and Michael Reddy during the race.

The official charity of the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association, the fund has been operating for 112 years.

Founded by L.A. city firefighters, its mission is to help the families of fallen and disabled firefighters, helping with medical/funeral costs, funding scholarships, and even organizing work parties to help with home repairs.

Michael Reddy, another firefighter who worked with Lovrien and Guzman that day, was so inspired by Lovrien that he named his firstborn son Brent. Tragically, Reddy lost his life in 2016.

“He developed cancer from all the firefighting and inhalation of toxic smoke, so he ended up dying, too.

They were both under 40 years old,” Guzman said.

“Every year of the anniversary of their death, [the Fireman’s Fund] sends flowers to the families,” he continued. “Just that fact alone, the family knows that the fire department still remembers them and they’ll never forget them.”

Guzman also makes it a point to spend time with Lovrien’s mother on the anniversary of the explosion.

“She goes down to Fire Station 95.

Every year on the anniversary they have lunch with her,” he said. “They still have Brent’s locker there with his turnout gear, just like he’s there every day. We never got rid of his locker, and that just warms her heart.”

“A lot of guys have moved on to different stations,” continued Guzman, now at LAX’s Station 80. “Even though some of the guys are new, she feels really welcome.”

After lunch, Lovrien’s mother and Guzman visit the site of the explosion for a private remembrance.

“We have one of Brent’s turnout boots and we put flowers in his boot,” Guzman added. “We’ll never forget him.”

Lovrien and Reddy are two of eight firefighters who were memorialized during L.A. Marathon weekend.

“Two of the eight were from one station — Station 95,” Guzman said.

“I know the others, not as intimately as Brent and Mike, but it’s exciting for me to see that their families know we’re always here for them.”

Left Turns in the Right Direction street by expanding public transportation options. These include the ongoing expansion of the Purple Line subway, connecting the Green Line to LAX via a People Mover already under construction, the recently launched LAnow neighborhood shuttles and the expansion of Metro’s bike share program from Venice into Mar Vista, Del Rey, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista and Palms.

A rapid bus line planned for Lincoln Boulevard would connect the Expo Line’s Fourth Street station to LAX, but as of now that’s not scheduled to come online for another 20 years or more, after Caltrans plans to widen Lincoln between Playa Vista and Marina del Rey to accommodate additional traffic lanes.

“There are many experts looking at the progress of plugging of the well right now, and there are very rigorous signoffs in place,” Los Angeles County Department of Beaches & Harbors spokesperson Carol Baker said.

Recent work became more complicated after a piece of equipment broke off and fell into the well — “a fairly common occurrence in the oil drilling industry,” according to MRS Environmental, an engineering firm hired by Los Angeles County to advise them of progress at the well.

In industry slang the lost equipment is referred to a “fish,” because retrieval involves fishing it out of the well. Workers ultimately decided to let this be a fish that got away.

“It was determined that the only way to remove the equipment was through high-risk operations, so the engineers decided plug the well with the ‘fish’ inside the hole,” Baker explained.

Tackling Trash on Ballona Creek

Oil Well Plugging Continues Workers have been pouring cement 1,400 feet below Marina del Rey It may take another four or five weeks for workers to finish sealing off the abandoned 1930s oil well at Via Marina and Tahiti Way, where a January eruption sent a mud and gas shooting into the sky.

The old well was capped to depth of 800 feet in 1959, but this time contractors for the developer building a hotel complex on the parcel are going much deeper, MdR Hotels Inc. spokesman Geoff Maleman said.

Last week workers poured two cement plugs from roughly 1,400 to 1,200 feet, and the next phase of work will include a series of five different plugs all the way up the surface. The state Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources will inspect and sign off on the integrity of each plug, Maleman said.

‘Westside Fast Forward’ makes signal changes to relieve traffic gridlock Traffic signals throughout Westside neighborhoods are being updated to include new left turn signals as part of a multifaceted effort by the city to relieve traffic congestion, Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin announced Monday.

The city will also install flashing pedestrian crossings at Via Dolce Park in the Marina Peninsula, Manchester and Gulana avenues in Playa del Rey, two along Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista and another on Rose and Fifth avenues in Venice.

But the series of initiatives that Bonin is calling “Westside Fast Forward” focuses mostly on getting cars off the

County leaders consider solutions, including a waterwheel collector Los Angeles County Public Works has removed an estimated 37 tons of trash from Ballona Creek since October — but no one knows for sure how many plastic bottles, food containers and other trash bypassed failing debris retention nets and flowed directly into Santa Monica Bay during recent winter storms.

Whatever the amount, it’s too much for Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, whose district includes Playa del Rey. Last week Hahn sponsored a unanimously approved board resolution seeking a multiagency report on solutions for diverting urban runoff debris from Ballona Creek and removing trash quickly once it arrives.

High on the list is a floating trashremoval conveyer system currently having success in Baltimore Harbor.

Lucy Han of the Playa del Rey community organizing group Friends of the Jungle has been lobbying county officials to consider installing a trashcollecting waterwheel on Ballona

A trash-capturing waterwheel in Baltimore Creek near Alla Road, a proposal The Argonaut reported in January.

Hahn specifically called for consideration of the waterwheel concept after displaying photos of trash floating on Ballona Creek and piled up along its banks after rainstorms.

“It’s a terrible sight to behold,” she said, “and equally distressing to me is how much trash we aren’t able to capture that flows down our waterways into the ocean and washes up on our beaches.”

“All of those pictures are right at the end of my block,” said Playa del Rey resident Natasha Khamashta, a supporter of the trash wheel concept.

“This is not only a public works issue, it’s a public health issue.”

Basketball for Change Venice Basketball League founder, a real-life Billy Hoyle, rebuilds a court from ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ Photos by Lindsay Meggers Amaral

By Matt Rodriguez On the outskirts of Paris, 13-year-old Nick Ansom — already 6’1” — bounces the ball through his legs at the three-point line. He takes three dribbles toward the basket, leaps off both feet, and ferociously slams the ball through the hoop. He smiles and runs back to do it again, and again, and again.

“People in France thought I was weird for playing basketball. You don’t really fit in. It was a really niche [culture],” Ansom, founder of the competitive Venice Basketball League, recalls more than two decades later of the passion that brought him to Los Angeles.

Whether the only kid on his block who lived and breathed the sport or the only French streetball player making a name for himself on Venice Beach, Ansom has always stood out — but he’s never let the opinions of others keep him off the court.

Now he’s on a mission to share his love of the game with others around the world.

Through his initiative Build Courts Not Walls, Ansom has traveled around the world rebuilding basketball courts for communities in need — taking him to Belize, Mexico, the Philippines, and most recently South Los Angeles.

Across the street from the iconic Watts Towers, behind St. John’s United Methodist Church, is a basketball court where Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes’ characters pull off an early hustle in the 1992 Spike Lee film “White Men Can’t Jump.”

Ansom, who’s played more than a few games in Billy Hoyle’s sneakers, discovered it in a state of near-ruin. Even a mural in the film — a depiction of rolling hills, hot air balloons and children playing — had been painted over to make a drab beige wall.

“When I became pastor it was a just a backboard — there was no goal on it,” recalls St. John’s Pastor Larry Dozier.

Nick Ansom (upper left) and his Build Courts Not Walls initiative celebrate Saturday’s grand opening of The Watts Oasis “People would come by and throw a work of art — “revitalizing history in things, and we would have to clean up front of one of the greatest monuments pretty regularly.” ever built,” as he puts it.

Ansom had a vision to restore the On Saturday, volunteers with Build court as both a community resource and Courts Not Walls invited local youth to

play at The Watts Oasis — an almost entirely brand-new court with multicolored playing surfaces and freshly painted art on the walls, where boundary markers and even the backboards are decorated with mosaic tiles in many shades of red, white, yellow, blue and green.

To bring this vision to life, Ansom recruited local artists such as Watts native Robert Matthew Miller, who has painted murals throughout the neighborhood, now including here at The Watts Oasis.

“Whenever you take dull and depressing and you lighten and brighten it up, it always makes for a better environment, no matter where you’re at,” says Miller.

“I really hope this brings a lot of playing opportunity, interaction with the kids … and [opportunities to be] more social, rather than worry about the games.

Dozier expects the court to be treated like “a neutral zone” in a neighborhood where the activities and pressures of street gangs remain strong.

“I would like everything left behind while they are in that church area playing basketball,” he says. “I would love for all the rival gangs to have dialogue — to talk, to play, and to have fun together.”

Watts resident John Jones Jr. had sent his son Jaheim to help volunteers restore the court, not only to get him out of the house and away from his video game console, but also so his son could take pride in knowing he helped to build it.

If kids help build the court, “they will take ownership of it,” he says. “They will take pride in it and they will help to take care of it.”

When Ansom was growing up, “basketball was everything,” he recalls. “It gave me opportunity, freedom. It gave me a dream, more than anything. … It’s like dreaming awake … having a reason to look forward to waking up, because your dream is slowly coming true.”

Alone Together The Untethered Generation is reshaping the American Dream so quickly that community bonds and personal freedoms are in jeopardy

By Bliss Bowen Sociologist Julie Albright’s “Left to Their Own Devices: How Digital Natives Are Reshaping the American Dream” offers a comprehensive examination of how escalating rates of digital dependence and “churn” cause societal changes on par with the Industrial Revolution for which we’ve not prepared.

This is not untilled ground. Journalist Courtney Martin’s 2016 book “The New Better Off: Reinventing the American Dream” surveyed a parallel landscape more idealistically, and New York Times technology reporter Nellie Bowles recently posited that for all but the very rich, “human contact is becoming a luxury good” as life is “increasingly mediated by screens.”

Albright similarly finds that “the lower the socioeconomic status of the family, the more time kids spend looking at screens.”

But Albright, a USC professor with a dual doctorate in both sociology PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT March 28, 2019

and marriage-and-family therapy, marshals new data about emotional, physical, psychological and societal consequences of “untethering” from family and from financial and political

Rather than being prescriptive, her book primarily shows how meaningful historical and sociological patterns form what she calls a “double helix of technology and behavior evolution reshaping the

space), digital addiction, cybersecurity, digital surveillance, text-dependent students who struggle to initiate or sustain telephone conversations, and even diminishing cooking skills.

In a telephone interview while in Santa Fe on a speaking tour, Albright says she wants to “elicit conversation” about our

relationship with digital devices, and notes that digital natives are becoming “mentally and physically ill” as their connection with nature wanes.

“That’s one of the things that drove me to write this book,” she says. “We are not doomed. Don’t get that message. There is hope on the horizon. But it necessitates lifestyle changes.”

The Argonaut: Is this about digital Darwinism?

Albright: We’re in a time of great transition from analog into a digital era.

That’s manifesting in generational differences in terms of their orientations toward technology. Walk outside, you’ll see heads bent over cellphones in any city in America and increasingly across the globe. … Unintended consequences are beginning to show up as a result of more and more ubiquitous digital connectivity. As we connect everyone in the world, network effects show up that frankly many of these tech titans could

Increasing reliance on digital media is having social, emotional and psychological consequences that are changing society more quickly than the Industrial Revolution never have dreamed of. … The folks that create these networks and software are not sociologists or psychologists; they’re computer scientists and engineers [focused] on the widget as opposed to what the impact of that widget will be when unleashed into the wilds of society.

You write about a grandmother looking defeated by a 7-year-old grandson playing on a cellphone he won’t relinquish; a 10-year-old girl refusing to give her parents the password to her burner phone; and Japanese mothers whose sons haven’t emerged from bedrooms in years. How much is digitalization contributing to adults relinquishing their parental responsibilities?

Parents are up against a huge challenge here because digital technologies, particularly mobile technologies and apps, have addictive behavioral drivers baked right into them — the same as you would find in a gambling slot machine. … Kids can throw a tantrum, it can get ugly, and for many parents it’s easier to relinquish control of the device as opposed to creating space between the device and their children. But we need some of these sacred spaces. Parents themselves need to be good role models in “digital hygiene”: how and when to use a phone, how and when to disconnect, and connecting back one-on-one, face-to-face with their children.

We’ve seen reports of teenagers suicidal over revenge porn and other forms of online bullying, and you describe a disturbing lack of sociability and intimacy skills among kids and

Social media and this kind of connectivity amplify consequences. Suicide is the No. 2 cause of death in 18- to 39-year-olds now, and that’s one of the

Digital connectivity is changing childhood. Now all behaviors are recorded. Private moments or thoughts or images can now be shared to others and amplified to the whole high school, for example, creating shame for the victim.

Kids don’t have the coping skills to deal with this. And frankly this is an entirely new context in which to grow up. The rules aren’t clear; we’re making it up as we go along.

The pressures on kids now are in some ways unprecedented. Not only do you have a peer group that you’re comparing yourself to in the local school, you now have a peer group across the country — sometimes even across the globe — comparing and judging and commenting on

reasons I wrote this book, because these things are not disconnected. They’re all part of a constellation of context and behaviors around digital connectivity, around social media, that we need to step back and take a look at.

You describe students who believe they don’t need to learn cursive handwriting or how to read physical maps, relinquishing that independence to digital media. What happens if the electricity goes out?

Yesterday I wanted to tip a valet and asked if he had change for $10. He and two other valets looked at me in shock, like it was disgusting to even touch cash.

They’re shifting over to using Venmo, for example, to share the cost of a meal or to tip. We’re growing increasingly reliant

upon digital devices, which will set us up for a series of deficiencies when the devices fail. And they will fail. The electricity will go out.

You write about digital nomads, “van life,” the prioritization of experiences over acquisition of property, and monetization of social media: an ‘Untethered Generation’ working various gigs in a platform economy, disconnected from traditional safety nets, questioning the “necessity of the political nation-state” as well as structures of capitalism, banking and commerce. Would you say this “new social DNA” is seeding a new form of anarchy?

I don’t know if I would frame it as anarchy, but I would say untethering is a new social form, a new way of living.

And it’s manifesting among digital natives because connectivity is now not rooted in an analog life, where they’re in a neighborhood, associating with neighbors, going to church, and being part of a long-term career where they have a place in the community. The notion is: “I have an endless array of things I can be and places I can go.” At first blush, that looks very exciting and fun. But for some of these people, untethering means you’re coming unmoored. So we see things now manifesting in society like anxiety, (Continued on page 14)

depression, loneliness … There’s a cost to all that freedom. The workplace may have to reconsider what its role is.

What issues would you urge presidential candidates to prioritize?

What I call the end-of-jobs problem, or untethering from work. As automation, robotics and artificial intelligence get more skilled, get smarter, they’ll take over increasingly wide swaths of the workplace. People say we’ve always had digital transformation of work and society, and point to the Industrial Revolution: “We had horses and buggies, and then we had cars and everybody was fine.” What they don’t take into account is it took 30 years before the majority of people had cars.

Fast forward to now, the uptick in things like the iPad or social media, and you’re talking about five years or a year. If digital technologies are spinning up so much faster in their adoption levels to a

majority in society, you’re going to end up with a workforce that can be displaced as quickly; if you don’t have a plan for that, that’s when the pitchforks and torches are going to come out.

We need to think about not only replacing the income of workers that are displaced, but also the many other things that a job or career provide: managing your time, the social aspects of the job, the sense of meaning and purpose that are so important to self-esteem, your social standing in community, a sense of accomplishment. Simply addressing the economic issue is an incomplete solution.

What surprised you most during your research into digital surveillance?

That’s a topic that I’ve been looking at since the ’90s. I had said that as we grow these databases, we’re going to be able to increasingly surveil people, slicing and dicing them in various ways. And now what people are doing is they’re crossreferencing databases to the point where some of these companies say they have 5,000 to 10,000 data points on every person. Combined with digital connectivity, that enables people to be manipulated and persuaded based on very nuanced concerns, fears or values they might hold.

It’s happening in a way that we just don’t have the defense mechanisms to combat, be they digital or psychological.

We have to start realizing that gathering data is one thing, but then how that data

People say, “You have to use critical thinking,” but it’s going to move beyond critical thinking. We need to develop markers that identify the provenance of data, and the provenance of identity — who it came from.

Are you conferring with millennialgeneration sociologists, and does the generation gap apply to assessments of all this?

I’ve given a number of talks at USC and other universities, in classes, in open forums, in private dinners, and over and over students say this message of untethering resonates with them. It’s what they’re living through and experiencing. … I’m trying to draw the constellations so that people can see that these disparate studies from seemingly different fields are actually all connected under this notion of becoming untethered, that it’s a way of understanding the societal shifts underway.

Naya Chang’s “Unchecked Attack Power” confronts gun violence with news clippings, tinfoil, charcoal and paint

Unfiltered Gaze YoungArts Los Angeles showcases the clear-eyed visions of teen visual arts prodigies

By Christina Campodonico This weekend some of the nation’s most promising teen performers in classical music, voice, theater, dance, writing, film and jazz will take to the stage at UCLA as part of YoungArts Los Angeles.

The weeklong program organized by the National YoungArts Foundation, a scholarship competition and nominating body for U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, convenes outstanding young artists from the West Coast to the Midwest — high school students from Venice, Santa Monica and Crossroads among them — for showcases, rehearsals and workshops directed by master arts professionals.

But first, visual arts prodigies get their turn. On Thursday, photographers, designers and visual artists ages 15 to 18 are the stars of a special YoungArts LA exhibition and reception at Santa Monica’s Building Bridges Art Exchange.

They’re a cohort that’s exceptionally attuned to today’s socio-political movements, yet also very introspective, observes Building Bridges Art Exchange

Executive Director Marisa Caichiolo, who is also curating the gallery show.

“I see this group of youth really expressing themselves freely in how they sense and they see society today,” she says. “But also what I see in a lot of them is going back to their roots and analyzing where they’re coming from, somehow connecting with their own identity and connecting that identity to the environment, to society.”

One piece by YoungArts visual arts finalist Emily Cattouse, “Window Pains No. 5,” tackles the African-American experience and police brutality in a very head-on way, depicting the image of a bloody black man floating in a stain glass window with the immortal last words of police brutality victim Eric Garner — “I can’t breathe” — painted repeatedly in the background. Another piece, 18-year-old Isabel Kristensen’s film still of a biracial teen girl, declares boldly in big text: “I don’t need an excuse to be black. I am black. I am also white. You don’t need an excuse to be either one.”

“It’s not pretentious. It’s very direct and very free,” Caichiolo comments about the exhibit’s artwork overall, which also includes pieces commenting on gun violence and female empowerment. One photograph by 17-year-old Maya Gee-Lim depicts a young girl flopped over a chain link fence, which could be read as a symbol for teenage boredom or, more chillingly, the victim of a mass shooter’s schoolyard attack.

(Such is the sad world in which we live.)

A collage by 17-year-old Naya Chang features a piece of tinfoil made to look as if it has been riddled by bullets, a hand-drawn assault rifle gunning down two young people, and text that reads: “Attack unchecked power.”

It’s a haunting nod to school mass shootings and a damning indictment of the powers that be.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Mia McCarthy’s “Tangible Vibrations” shows seven adolescent girls in white button down shirts lying in an empty swimming pool or skateboard bowl, their arms interlinked. Their position on the ground

brings to mind an act of protest (perhaps a die-in) and their white shirts recall the symbolic color of women’s suffrage; together, these elements create an image of solidarity that speaks to the rising activism of today’s young women, whose voices are coming of age in the wake of #MeToo, the ascension of a pussy-grabber to the presidency, and the rise of a global Women’s March movement.

Visitors to Thursday’s reception will have the chance to chat with the brains behind images like these, enjoy free Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches and sip on wine (if you’re over 21). Based on the images alone, there will be plenty to discuss.

The reception for YoungArts Los Angeles’ Design, Photography and Visual Arts Exhibition happens from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday (March 28) at Building Bridges Art Exchange in Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., Ste. F2, Santa Monica. Admission is free. RSVP and view the full schedule of YoungArts Los Angeles events at youngarts.org.

3817 Grand View Blvd., Mar Vista (310) 439-2938 rasselbockla.com

The sudden November 2017 closure of Louie’s of Mar Vista left a culinary hole on Grand View Boulevard, and locals have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of a restaurant that could fill its place — a friendly neighborhood hangout with crowdpleasing food and interesting beverages.

Enter Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer Garden, which soft-opened in the space on March 19 in preparation for its grand opening on Monday (April 1). The German gastropub is an import not from Bavaria but Long Beach, home of the original Rasselbock, making it the third restaurant by the team behind the popular Wirtshaus German Restaurant & Biergarten on La Brea Avenue.

So far, it’s a hit. When I arrived at 5:30 p.m. on their soft-open day, the restaurant and its covered back-patio beer garden was already bustling with locals. But rather than a cutthroat queue for a table or winner-take-all dash for the bar, the mood was gregarious and welcoming, like a lively German beer hall.

Patrons young and old — couples with kids, couples without, and packs of friends gathering for after-work brews — happily sipped on drafts from a kaleidoscopic assortment of beer glasses (and breweries) and eagerly cut up Bavarian-style pretzels to share with their respective tables.

Between friendly conversations with diners to my left and to my right, I dove into the sausage platter, featuring three hot and tender German-style links and three house-made mustards. The melt-in-your-mouth bratwurst, the decadent Käsekrainer (filled with a heavenly Emmentaler cheese) and the spicy chickenmango-jalapeno sausage were all delicious on their own, but rose to another level of perfection when paired with their sauces.

The secret sauce of Astro’s CBD donut is in the buttercream frosting

By Lawrence Yee Astro Doughnuts

2309 Main St., Santa Monica astrodoughnuts.com Donuts and fried chicken aren’t the first things that come to mind when you think of health-conscious Santa Monica, but Astro Doughnuts partner Art Levitt hopes standing out from the crowd will have visitors flocking to its new Main Street location.

“We’ve been looking at Santa Monica for years,” says Levitt, a Santa Monica resident. “We found the right real estate where we could carve out a niche and make it feel really good.”

Feeling really good is what Astro’s indulgent menu is all about — especially the shop’s signature CBD donut, available to diners 21 or older. Each CBD donut contains 60 milligrams of cannabidiol oil, a non-psychoactive cannabis compound that relaxes the body without causing a conventional “high,” mixed into the buttercream frosting.

“Finding out the way to maintain the CBD oil in the donut so it doesn’t lose its potency was interesting,” explained chef Jason Prado. “I actually use an isolate, a purer form of it. Being a purer form, it’s easier to make a compound. I melt down the

butter and actually infuse the CBD into it. That’s how it stays at a higher potency.”

Because it’s ingested orally, the typically soothing effects of the CBD usually take about an hour to settle in. The donut itself has no discernable scent or taste other than rich chocolate with a hint of mint. It’ll be one of four mainstay flavors alongside vanilla, maple bacon and peanut butter and jelly.

The four other doughnut flavors on the menu are seasonal and will change monthly. The crème brûlée donut has a caramelized sugar top, which shatters to reveal a fluffy, custard-filled center. The coconut almond donut, dusted with shredded coconut and a drizzle of dark chocolate, tastes like an Almond Joy. Levitt is mindful not to exclude the customers that may be in the neighborhood for one of the many yoga and Pilates studios.

Astro’s offers four vegan donut flavors made-to-order in a separate fryer.

“We got a special fryer just for vegans,” Levitt explains. “Not being a vegan, I didn’t realize you actually have to check the recipes of the recipe ingredients and how it’s made and where it’s made. That actually took us months to do.”

Healthier menu items include

roasted Brussels sprouts, a portobello mushroom wrap, and several salads — including a vegan one. The vegan options will be exclusive to the Main Street store (Astro’s DTLA location opened two years ago, followed by a food truck that’s been making the rounds at Abbot Kinney First Fridays).

Locally sourced beer and wine will also be unique to the Westside, and go well when paired with Astro’s other specialty: fried chicken.

Crispy, golden chicken can be ordered by the piece or in a sandwich. Bun options include a buttery house recipe, a savory cheddar biscuit and, of course, a donut. Try hot sauce and honey butter or sausage gravy as toppings for breakfast (until 11 a.m.), or add-ons such as cheese, bacon, kimchi coleslaw (also served as a side) and pickled jalapenos for lunch.

Indulge in a snack to go or take your time outside on the back patio. To sweeten its Thursday (March 28) grand opening, Astro is giving each customer a free moon pie donut on opening day, and each hour one diner will randomly receive a “Golden Doughnut” — a confection with edible gold filling and the promise of free doughnuts for a year!

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A

What are the impacts of the new tax laws on homeowners and is it still a tax benefit to buy real estate?

Although this is the second year since tax reform passed, many of us are still determining how we are personally impacted. For existing homeowners, especially in higher priced homes, there is a sting. here are the specifics that impact homeownership: 1) For new mortgages (obtained after Dec. 15, 2017), the interest deduction has been reduced from a mortgage limit of $1 Million to $750,000; 2) Interest paid for home equity loans are no longer tax deductible, even on already existing loans; 3) Previously unlimited Federal tax deductions for state and local income taxes and for property taxes, are now capped at a maximum deduction of $10,000; and 4) Increased standard deductions will lessen the number of taxpayers who itemize.

Although less than 2% of homes

nationwide are valued higher than $750,000, almost half of those are located in California, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

If you are reading The Argonaut, you likely know that in our immediate neighborhoods, $750,000 is closer to the minimum purchase price for a condominium.

Many condo and home owners have high mortgages. The ability to deduct those mortgage interest payments from Federal Income taxes has been one of the top reasons many cited for buying a new home. In fact, that was the intent of the deduction.

If you have owned your home since before the end of 2017 and have not refinanced since then, you are still able to deduct your interest paid on a mortgage up to $1M. If you did refinance, and had a mortgage of $1M or higher, you lost the ability to deduct interest on $250k that you previously deducted.

If you were able to take advantage of

deducting interest on your home equity loan previously, those days are gone.

Since there already was a limit on mortgage interest deductions, it seems that people are most upset regarding the $10,000 cap placed on all local and state deductions combined, including property taxes. Previously, we could deduct the full amount of property taxes, plus state and local taxes paid. Now, if you own a property that you purchased or is assessed up to about $975k, you have already reached the $10k amount in property taxes alone.

First time homeowners will be less likely to afford upgrading homes, staying in their “entry level” homes and condominiums longer, again creating high demand for those opportunities. The middle markets will likely suffer the most, with the opposite problem — less buyers and decreased prices. Worst of all, the rental market will be over crowded with a populace that no longer sees the financial incentive to own instead of rent.

Current owners, it may be time to evaluate whether it makes sense to stay or to go…

These changes will mean more money This week’s quesTion out of pocket costs for homeownership. was answered by If you are a renter and are thinking “It’s Lisa PhiLLiPs, esq about time those rich homeowners stopped getting tax cuts”, think again.

Los AngeLes Times sundAy Crossword PuzzLe “IT’S ALL IN THE GAME SHOW” By GARY LARSON

Crone’s Disease I’m a straight single woman nearing 50. My best friends are a lesbian couple. I’m going to get some nonsurgical skin tightening on my face, and they got very judgmental about it: “We think you’re beautiful as you are.” Next, it was “What if it goes wrong?” and “Will you keep getting procedures till you don’t look like you?” I ended up crying and then getting really angry.

First of all, it’s my face. Secondly, I don’t think they understand the pressure on straight single women to look young and beautiful. Thirdly, I think my friends should support me in my decisions even if they don’t agree with them. Am I wrong?

— Upset I’m 55. Eventually, if a man catcalls me, I’ll go over and give him a dollar.

So I do understand the desire for dermatological intervention — in lieu of a little windup thingy behind your neck that you could crank to tighten the face flesh. That said, your friends probably feel they have a right (and maybe even a mandate) to tell you what to do, probably because they’re trying to look out for you. The problem is that criticizing people doesn’t make them want to change; it makes them want to clobber the person doing the criticizing. And this seems to be the case whether that person is giving unsolicited advice to a friend or muttering “Dude … seriously on the

24-pack of doughnuts?” to that stout stranger in the supermarket.

Our brain’s threat response system is a little primitive. A central player in it is the amygdala, a pair of lima bean-shaped neuron clusters that makes split-second decisions about whether we’re in danger. Unfortunately, to your amygdala, an attack is an attack — which is to say, a verbal attack triggers the same bodily responses as a physical attack.

Your adrenaline surges, your heart pumps like crazy, and blood gets shunted away from your reasoning center and to your extremities. This gets you into the perfect bodily state to bolt or punch your attacker in the nose, a state that’s not exactly helpful for one’s social survival.

Tell your busybody friends that it means a lot that they care about you, but that their context — as two nesting lesbians — is not your context as a single straight woman careening toward 50. Set a boundary: Explain that you want their advice on your appearance only if you ask for it. You could also ask them to be supportive of you — even if they aren’t on board with the steps you’re taking — simply on the grounds that you’re trying to improve yourself and go after what you want. It’s nice when your photo on a dating site makes some man reminisce about a classic beauty from his youth, but not when it’s his grandma’s prized Hermes alligator clutch.

Worst-Chase Scenario I’m a guy, and I’ve noticed that many women (at cafés, etc.) give me flirtatious looks, suggesting they’re interested in me, yet they never approach me. Why don’t they just come over and say hi and get my number and call me or message me?

— Annoyed It isn’t hard to get a woman to chase you. Just grab her purse and take off down the street.

However, as a dude, if you’re looking for dates or a relationship, you should plan on doing the chasing rather than the waiting. “Males chase/females choose” evolved to be kind of a thing across species — those in which the females get stuck with the greater share of child production and caretaking (“parental investment,” in anthro terms). As evolutionary scientists Peter K. Jonason and Norman Li explain (in their research on playing hard to get), “the sex that bears the greater obligation to offspring is the

more choosy sex (females in most species) and will put the opposite sex (usually males) through ‘tests’ for access.”

Keep in mind that many men will have sex with a woman they aren’t all that interested in simply because she pursues them. (In guy terms: “My wrist is tired. You’ll do.”) In line with this, Jonason and Li’s research finds that women benefit from playing hard to get in a way men do not. A woman who refrains from pursuing a man “may increase her perceived value” in his eyes and motivate him to work harder to pursue her. “In contrast,” they write, “men who limit their availability may pay heavier costs than women will through the loss of potential mating opportunities.”

As for what this means for you, waiting for women to ask for your digits and blow up your phone with calls and texts is a fantastic idea — but only if your mail comes addressed to Chris Hemsworth, 26 Movie Star Avenue.

Music for the Now and Later Local standout Matt Ellis’ new album speaks to changes by the beach and around the world Nothing like your own songwriting to predict your family’s future. Mar Vista’s Matt Ellis, releasing his sixth album “Rambler Pacifico” this Friday, says he was just “jamming out songs” when he unexpectedly hit on this “spooky” lyric for “Some People”: “Some people getting ready for the end of the world/ Some people getting ready for their firstborn girl.”

“It was written about a year before my wife Vavine and I discovered we were having a girl,” Ellis says, chuckling. “I had no reason to call a lyric out like that.”

Their daughter, who turns 1 in April, also inspired feelgood country shuffle “Oh My Magnolia,” but more rocking tracks (“Isolationist Blues,” “Guns & Drugs,” “The Bottom Line,” “The Kids of America”) comment on the state of the

world. The title of “Some People” was sparked by numerous conversations around town beginning with that phrase as people discussed changes occurring in Venice, where Ellis is entrenched in the local music scene and curates bands for the Abbot Kinney Festival’s Locals Stage each year.

The melodic set features background vocals from local favorites Lacey Kay Cowden and Paul Chesne, and a motley crew of non-musician friends who dropped by Ellis’ home studio to enhance the “loose and live feel” by chiming in with

group oohs and handclaps on the deceptively cheery “The Lucky Ones.” The soulful harmonies of Kam Franklin, dynamic frontwoman for Houston ensemble the Suffers, help reinvigorate Pete Seeger’s “If I Had a Hammer,” while the pedal steel-gilded “Wake Me Up” inhabits the daily grind amid political turmoil: “Tired from never giving it up/ Tired from trying to make it enough/ Sometimes it’s just survival/ …We’re just living our lives in between all the lies.”

“A lot of it is real response to the rhetoric we’ve all had to endure the past couple years,” explains Ellis. “But it isn’t purely about what’s happening in the States; it’s equal parts what’s going on in the UK with Brexit and a divisive government in Australia. It seems like the whole world is going through growing pains right now.”

Artisanal is a word that gets Isn’t it weird that seeing realistic thrown around a lot these days, female faces — older female being used to describe everything faces — still feels like a radical from pickles to scarves. Pretenfeminist statement? In fact, just tious as the word is, the sentiment — that of being handmade spending time with “Diane” resonates like a political act, — retains a certain luster, elevating a woman’s life, an especially in this world of chain average woman’s life, onto the retailers, online conglomerates and ginormous box stores. What big screen of a movie theater, as if it matters. Men, like Jack a relief then to spend a night at Nicholson in “About Schmidt,” an authentically personal Bruce Dern in “Nebraska,” and restaurant after viewing an Harry Dean Stanton in “Lucky,” independent movie at an art often get the chance to play the house theater. small moments of existence, Opening Friday (March 29), quietly and poignantly, while “Diane” stars the shockingly actresses are considered fortunate underutilized Mary Kay Place if they get to be the wife, or the (“The Big Chill,” “Lady Dynadaughter. “Diane” puts women at mite”) as the titular character, a the center of their own world. scrupulously regular woman What kind of dinner do you pair living a life of quiet desperation with such a resonant picture? in upstate New York.

I recommend Jones (“Hitchcock/Truffaut”) dinner, as the chalky azure booths keeps things moving along with and stellar cocktails make for a sparks of levity and an uncomrelaxed romanticism; the Per monly steady gaze. Place is Amalfi — a blend of vodka, surrounded by a cadre of spectacular supporting actresses, like limoncello, dry vermouth, Greek yogurt, vanilla, lemon and Andrea Martin (“SCTV,” “The Good Fight”) and Estelle Parsons rosemary — goes down like

a dream.

In some ways, Pikoh radiates a core truth of Angeleno-ism, the diversity inherent to the city from its inception. While California cuisine — with its seasonal focus and a plethora of vegetables — is well established, the food of L.A. — beyond the core Mexican heritage — is still undefined.

What Zarate and Jung bring to the conversation is a thorough acknowledgment of our tremendous multiculturalism.

Without apology, the restaurant places Korean-inspired kimchi fried rice next to Italian bay scallops and orecchiette and Peruvian smoked salmon ceviche. As Craterface put it in the movie “Grease,” “The rules are: there ain’t no rules.” This is nowhere more apparent than the French toast entree, a housemade brioche with banana brûlée and algarrobina sauce (black carob syrup). While breakfast for dinner might not seem out of place at a diner, at a swell spot like Pikoh the ease feels like a revelation. What could be more Los Angeles than that?
