L etters Hooligans and Junkies Are Taking Over Mar Vista If you want to take the island, burn the boats, so said Julius Caesar. Or simply, the inmates are running the asylum.

Embellished, however, for those who live in (or visit) Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin’s Third World neighborhood of Mar Vista, you may be subjected to one or more of the following: running puddles of human urine, mounds of human excrement, street fights, gang bangers, drug dealers, psychotic pill poppers, heroin junkies and/or their epidemic plethora of syringes and needles throughout the neighborhood. Mar Vista is under siege.

With the decriminalizing of so-called homelessness — ideologically something I staunchly support, however not at the expense of public health and safety — has come a seedy underworld contributing to the decline of community, culture, health and safety.

Although often times part and parcel, not all homeless are drug addicts and not all drug addicts are homeless. I’m honored to call several homeless people my friends, and they are fine human beings who live drug- and crime-free lives. This is not about them.

That said, as a longtime (renting) resident of the barrio, I’ve certainly had enough of this petty bourgeoisie lumpen

Life is Full of Surprises Re: “Developer Flattens Ecologically Sensitive Beach Dunes,” News, Aug. 15 Having been involved with Legado’s dealings in Playa del Rey for years, I didn’t think there was anything else they could do to shock or disrespect a community in which they want to develop three significant parcels of land.

I was wrong.

liberal apathy, essentially condoning and supporting degenerate behavior. In short, Mar Vista is a microcosm of the greater whole controlled by undermining and failed leadership, who (I believe) knowingly and willingly operate within (and are obedient to) a broken system of a privatized shadow government.

While the hands of public safety officers appear to be legally tied, local gangbangers and drug dealers are inundating our Mar Vista streets. Oh the hypocrisy, as local crime rates appear to coincide with the already problematic and absorbent rise in cost of living; while heroin needles pile on to our streets in front of the Mar Vista Post Office (home of the family-friendly Mar Vista Farmer’s Market), Grand View Boulevard Elementary, nearby preschools, various places of worship, residences and small businesses.

Ironically, as Mar Vista continues to “improve” and “grow” (i.e. gentrify), our quality of life diminishes — even drastically depletes. To what end, Bonin?

Is this your “gentry-topia”?

How shall we mitigate our local blight?

This ultimately global epidemic speaks to a larger systemic problem, but can we as a neighborhood please collectively address the cleaning of the “living room” we all share? Let’s create and maintain successful solutions together.

Six-Story Apartment Complex Planned for Ballona Creek Peninsula

By Gary Walker Amid a shortage of rental housing and few undeveloped parcels in West Los Angeles on which to build it, one development company has its sights on an unexpected place: the peninsula that juts out between the confluence of Ballona and Centinela creeks, directly south of the Marina (90) Freeway.

Currently the location is an isolated space occupied by a pair of metal shipping containers and several homeless encampments. Beethoven LLC has submitted plans to the city and an environmental review for what they’re calling Del Rey Pointe — a six-story, 236-unit apartment complex with natural preserves and a linear park along its perimeter.

Vehicles and pedestrians would access the property via a new bridge connecting the peninsula to Playa Vista at the Beethoven Street cul-de-sac near Westside Neighborhood School, following the path of a defunct Pacific Electric Railway bridge that once brought the Red Car across the creek. Residents would also be able to access the Ballona Creek Bike Path to the north via a private pedestrian and bicycle crossing.

Novak said the developer is requesting an “expanded” mitigated negative declaration in lieu of a full environmental impact report, a process that could be both time-consuming and costly.

Officials with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which supervises the adjacent Ballona Wetlands Ecological Preserve, said the agency is aware of the project and might weigh in on the environmental analysis at a later date.

Advocates for the Ballona Wetlands have concerns about the project because a variety of bird species frequent the peninsula.

Return of Jet to Jetty Supports Airport Marina Counseling Service Photo by DeeDee Hoffman

By Christina Campodonico After a year’s hiatus, the Jet to Jetty 5k/10k Run for Mental Health returns to Playa del Rey this Sunday, resuming its traditional course along Dockweiler State Beach. A 10-mile bike ride starts at 7:30 a.m., a 10k run and 5k walk/run at 8 a.m. and a short fun run for kids at 9 a.m., each race sprinting off from beach parking lot No. 3.

The volunteer-organized event originated in 1985, making this Jet to Jetty’s 35th anniversary year. As in years past, the race is a fundraiser benefitting the Airport Marina Counseling Service in Westchester, a nonprofit organization that has been training therapists and providing low-cost mental health services to the area since 1961.

Combining themes of physical and mental wellness, runners’ bibs this year will highlight conditions and struggles that Airport Marina Counseling Service therapists help to address.

People are coming out: ‘I am transgender, I am non-binary.’ So the need to provide support for those people and their families is there,” said AMCS Executive Director Eden Garcia-Balis, also observing how today’s inflamed sociopolitical climate has also made the need for a positive and affirming LGBT center even more necessary. “There was this movement toward more tolerance, and now it seems like there’s less tolerance. There are a lot people in fear, so how can they continue to be true to themselves? … We believe that affirmative therapy is the best form of treatment.”

Jet to Jetty, Garcia-Balis said, is “a great way for the community to be involved.”

Toes Beach Dunes Begin Recovery

Harbor Patrol Makes Dramatic Breakwater Rescue

A month after local developer the Legado Co. bulldozed ecologically sensitive beach dunes in Playa del Rey — and weeks after a homeless man set up camp on the flattened remains — a restoration effort is finally beginning to take shape.

Last week the California Coastal Commission approved a plan submitted

by Legado to install fencing around the habitat, commission spokeswoman Noaki Schwartz said. On Monday, Playa del Rey residents noticed white plastic bollards and yellow rope cordoning off the area;

by Tuesday “Dune Restoration in Progress – No Trespassing” signs had gone up with them. Sturdier fencing is expected to go up before the end of the week, with the commission “monitoring the situation closely for noncompliance,” Schwartz said.

The commission also requires Legado to conduct interim erosion control and remedial grading to allow the dunes to begin to recover, with a state-approved specialist monitoring the effort.

As for reports of beach visitors lounging and even grilling on the flattened dunes, “People are going to do that type of thing.

Three inexperienced sailors who crashed their boat into the marina breakwater on Saturday evening may owe their lives to Marina del Rey Harbor Patrol deputies Josh May and Glenn Maska. Battered by gale-force winds that had triggered small craft warnings and pushed the doomed vessel on the rocks, the deputies performed a difficult water rescue to bring the men to safety with relatively minor injuries.

As May piloted the rescue boat to keep it a safe and steady distance from the breakwater, bow facing away from the rocks, Maska secured a life vest to a tow rope and tossed it to the stranded sailors.

One by one Maska dragged each man through the waves to the rear of the boat, with May killing the engines intermittently to keep the engine’s propeller from slicing the victims all the while steering barely clear of the rocks.

“This just shows May’s incredible skill as a boat operator … and Maska really thinking on his feet to tie the line to the lifejacket and use his strength to pull them hand-over-hand through the water,” said Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station Sgt. Brent Carlson. “And then to do that

Temporary fencing around the flattened dunes You can’t hold my client responsible for that,” said Benjamin Reznik, an attorney representing Legado.

Legado is suing the city for rejecting a controversial development proposal for the vacant triangular lot at Culver Boulevard and Vista Del Mar, also among the company’s land holdings. A large contingent of locals involved in that battle see the dune demolition as an affront to their neighborhood.

“I think [the Coastal Commission] should have someone monitoring the dunes more closely. I don’t think [Legado] wants to preserve that habitat,” resident Suzanne Napoleon said. “It’s going to be a constant battle with them, but we always look out for our community.”

M emoriam

Mr. Marina del Rey Jerry B. Epstein was a tireless advocate for the community he helped create

By Joe Piasecki Jerry B. Epstein, a founding father of Marina del Rey and its leading advocate for more than half a century, died last week at age 96. Though best-known as the developer behind the towering Shores Apartments on Via Marina, Epstein’s legacy stretches far beyond brick and mortar.

Old-timers have doubtless heard the story of The Surge — a violent 1963 winter storm that destroyed much of the fledgling marina-in-progress and prompted many initial investors to call in their loans, including Epstein’s. Instead of giving up on his apartment complex Del Rey Shores, the World War II veteran put on his Army Reserve uniform, headed to Washington, and helped the Small Craft Harbor Commission convince Congress to fund the protective Marina del Rey breakwater.

As a member of the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners in the 1970s, Epstein was the primary force in changing the LAX flight plan to prevent departing aircraft from making low turns directly over the harbor. Epstein also “pulled a lot of arms and did most of the frontline fighting” to get the Marina (90) Freeway completed, wrote Argonaut founder

Jerry B. Epstein (on the right with David O. Levine) made the marina what it is today David Asper Johnson in 1975, and to name of the Marina Harbor Apartments & it after the harbor instead of President Anchorage as a co-general partner, Richard Nixon. followed by the peak-Great Recession In the early 1980s Epstein led the charge reinvention of his Del Rey Shores into to block development of a commercialthe Shores Apartments — Epstein’s ized private harbor along Fiji Way in crowning development achievement. what’s now part of the Ballona Wetlands “Jerry was responsible for protecting Ecological Preserve, and in the 1990s he Marina del Rey not just in the 1960s, but worked with county officials to plan the again in the ’70s and the ’80s and the second-generation redevelopment of ’90s. He’s been the leading advocate for Marina del Rey. That work set the stage Marina del Rey since its inception,” said for Epstein’s early 2000s reconstruction David O. Levine, who assumes continu-

ity of management and ownership for Epstein’s interests in the marina. “He took the long view that anything which enhances the Marina del Rey experience is an asset to us as well.”

Levine has been president of the Marina del Rey Lessees Association and Epstein’s right hand since the 1990s. A cousin of Epstein’s late wife Pat, Levine taught history at UCLA before Jerry (who did not have children in his 66-year marriage to Pat) recruited him into the family business.

“Jerry understood what Marina del Rey meant to Los Angeles, and he put his heart and soul into making it work,” said Willie Hjorth, one of the marina’s earliest residents and a founder of the Marina del Rey Historical Society, which honored Epstein with a lifetime achievement award in 2015. “He’s Mr. Marina del Rey to me.”

“He was level-headed, didn’t dig dirt … but he was no pushover. He was smart, strategic and evenhanded. He taught me how to navigate Marina del Rey,” said longtime area property manager Patricia Younis, who fondly recalls how Epstein, who was devoutly Jewish, would bring her a Christmas present every year.

‘A Real Pot-Stirrer’ Venice community activist Dede Audet leaves a legacy of service … and speaking her mind

By Gary Walker The indefatigable Dede Audet, one of Venice’s most prominent and most widely respected local activists, died Aug. 31 of congestive heart failure. She was 98.

As president of the Venice Neighborhood Council from 2004 to 2008 and a founding member of the Venice Town Council that preceded it, Audet earned repute as a community leader who did not mince words and a force to be reckoned with in local affairs.

Among her many causes, Audet went to bat for tenants facing eviction from the Lincoln Place Apartments, fought a massive residential development planned for what’s now the Costco on Washington Boulevard, and led the charge against destroying homes to link the 90 Freeway directly to Pacific Coast Highway.

More recently, Audet could often be spotted tooling around Venice on her motorized mobility scooter and offering public comments during neighborhood council meetings.

“She was a real pot-stirrer,” said former California Secretary of State Debra

on technical writing,” said Brian McKenney, one of Audet’s two sons. Audet also worked as an industrial photographer who helped create instruction manuals for the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, he said.

In the 1950s Audet and her children moved to Venice, where she met second husband Earle Audet, a retired professional football player who helped awaken her political activism.

“She was interested in national, state and local politics, but her true love was Venice,” said Elizabeth Wright, a longtime friend and neighbor of Audet in the Oxford Triangle neighborhood.

In 2010, then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa honored Audet as a “True Angel” — an official civic award he created to recognize the city’s most dedicated volunteers.

Though a proud Republican, Audet worked hand-in-hand and in support of Democratic lawmakers, including Los Angeles County Supervisor Yvonne Braithwaite Burke and Los Angeles City (Continued on page 30)

Santa Monica Pier Vigil Mourns Victims of Conception fire Photos by Jason Ryan (@JasonRyanPhoto)

Nearly a thousand people joined a candlelight vigil and procession around Santa Monica Pier in remembrance of the 34 divers who died on Labor Day in the Conception fire, the worst maritime tragedy in modern California history. too intense to rescue anyone who had been sleeping below deck.

Many of those assembled at twilight for a candlelight vigil outside the pier’s Heal the Bay Aquarium are members of the Southern California diving community.

“We’re all committed to the environment and ensuring that our oceans are clean — they’re our lifeblood,” said diver Greg Helmer of West L.A. “… We all feel a great loss.”

Following remarks by Heal the Bay CEO Shelley Luce and California Assemblymember Richard Bloom, a bagpiper playing traditional Scottish

By Christina Campodonico Swathed in colorful flashing lights, Santa Monica Pier after dark is a brilliant beacon of whimsy against the dark expanse of the Pacific. Last Thursday, flameless electric votive candles flickered against the swirl of the pier’s luminous display as nearly a thousand people formed a procession around its edges, mourning the 34 people who died on Labor Day in the horrific fire aboard the recreational dive boat Conception.

Two of those who died in the catastrophe off the coast of Santa Cruz Island were Santa Monica residents, neighbors and dive buddies. Charles “Chuck” McIlvain, 44, was a visual effects designer who’d worked with Netflix and Disney. Marybeth Guiney, 51, worked as a sales director for a local nutraceutical company and had a passion for the ocean.

“They were both just bright people,” said 38-year-old Katheryn Fiedler of Long Beach, who recounted diving with McIlvain and Guiney over Memorial Day weekend from Conception’s sister boat Truth. “Chuck was warm and funny, and Marybeth … she was just a bright spot.

It’s a terrible tragedy that they’re no longer with us.”

Lisa Doell of Marina del Rey said Guiney was a good friend who lived life to the fullest.

“She said ‘Yes’ to life — very passionate, an absolute environmentalist, eco-warrior, conservationist and was doing what she loved the day that this unfortunately happened. So if anything, live life passionately. She definitely did,” Doell said.

The cause of the fire remained under investigation at press time, with the Los Angeles Times reporting that Conception’s operators are now the subject of a federal probe into possible violations of maritime safety regulations. Five crew members who leapt to safety from the deck said the sudden conflagration was

songs led mourners toward the beach along the north side of the pier. As they passed, pier visitors paused from their revelries to watch the solemn procession below. Beneath the pier, many who carried electric candles or flowers formed a circle around the 3½-year-old daughter of a local dive shop worker, who spread white rose petals on the sand as the bagpiper played “Amazing Grace.” The sound of crashing waves followed the mourners as they processed silently back up to the beach on the pier’s south side.

Many vigil participants who spoke to The Argonaut were deeply shaken by the

“All divers in California are affected by this whether they knew someone [on board] or not,” said Dina Richman, an attorney from Santa Monica. “We’re all united by a love of the ocean and of diving, and I think by diving more we honor those who died.”

A Fresh Take on Italian Terzo MdR sets a Mediterranean-style table with locally sourced ingredients and playful cocktails Terzo MdR

13450 Maxella Ave., Marina Marketplace (310) 306-8204 terzomdr.com Pasta, pizza and other unfairly maligned carbohydrates get the star treatment at the new Terzo MdR. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this iteration of the restaurant evolved from Settebello, a primarily pizza-focused eatery, into something a bit more sophisticated.

Executive Chef Brian Lavin moved all the way from Baltimore to revamp the menu with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. “Part of the reason I moved to California is for the produce,” he says.

“It’s a chef’s dream.”

Looking north to Monterey and Santa Barbara, Lavin also incorporates fresh fish that will change with the seasons. His experience preparing fish dishes and Italian cuisine in Maryland made differences between East Coast and West Coast approaches very apparent.

cherry tomatoes with a tarragon-infused oil, evoking summer at its finest. Another appetizer that brings the warmer months to mind is the fresh plum and fig salad, heavy on the fruits, layered with shaved lard, dandelion greens, vincotto (a wine reduction) and pistachio butter.

Perhaps the greatest challenge to making Terzo work with an expanded menu is the giant authentic Italian pizza oven that takes up most of the kitchen space, leaving little room for traditional stove burners. As a result, Lavin cooks a variety of items other than pizza in that oven. Lucky for us eaters, the oven still produces remarkable pizza with crust that is thin and deliciously toasty on the bottom, just as the Neopolitans would have it.

The pastas at Terzo continue the kitchen’s emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruits of the sea. Summer squash, anchovies, Monterey Bay calamari and Tuscan kale rub elbows with the more common tomatoes and parmesan that

Terzo’s tagliatelle is a pasta lover’s dream One of the first things Lavin noticed about Los Angeles was that Italian food here tends to lean toward meat-focused dishes inspired by southern Italy. That’s how he realized he could do something different at Terzo, dovetailing perfectly

with its proximity to the Pacific.

One of Terzo’s standout antipasti dishes is seared sea scallops. Well-executed, with that perfect caramel exterior and tender interior, the mollusks come on a bed of sweet corn puree and marinated

Fluid Intelligence Google Empathy Lab founder Ananda Danielle Krettek is harnessing the spiritual teachings of Ram Dass to make technology more ‘human’

By Christina Campodonico As a Google employee in Venice, Ananda Danielle Krettek has worked on the kinds of projects you might expect, like voice assistant technologies and AI (artificial intelligence). But her days also involve conducting humanistic research studies, making books, creating tone poems and even foraying into film (more on that later). As founder and head of the Google Empathy Lab, it’s her job, as she told an audience in Australia, “to speak human at a table with a bunch of incredibly brilliant folks who are fluent in machine.”

Krettek has likened herself to a Montessori school teacher instructing machines on how to be a little bit more human.

It’s all part of an interdisciplinary methodology she calls “Design Feeling” — making technology that not only serves up answers or solves problems, but is also emotionally intelligent and sensitive to our needs as messy, imperfect and vulnerable human beings.

A “guiding star” in that philosophy of hers is the spiritual guru Ram Dass, who turned on, tuned in and dropped out with

Timothy Leary back at Harvard in the ’60s, and — after going to India to attain enlightenment and coming back with a name which means “servant of God” — took hippie-era America by storm preaching a mantra of “Be Here Now.” Also the title of his breakthrough book of Buddhist, Hindu and Christian teachings, it extolled an early form of what we may now call “mindfulness” and led to a career espousing the virtues of meditation, unconditional love and service to others.

That journey and more of the now 88-year-old’s spiritual observations are woven into a meditative documentary called “Becoming Nobody,” presented in partnership with the Google Empathy Lab and screening Sept. 13 through Sept.

19 at Laemmle’s Monica Film Center in downtown Santa Monica.

But how else do the teachings of Ram Dass show up in Empathy Lab’s work?

For Krettek, that may be the influence of a wise-but-humorous saying or the insight to teach a voice assistant some manners.

PAGE 16 THE ARGONAUT September 12, 2019

The following are excerpts from a wideranging conversation that has been condensed and edited for length and clarity.

Krettek on the Ram Dass saying she takes most to heart…

“Treat everyone as if they’re God in drag” — that’s one that has always stuck with me. When I was founding the lab, it was very much in my heart because of that idea that there is this divine spark that lives in everyone. Like you can serve someone’s cognitive and functional needs. You can even serve their most small needs ... but really the thing that you’re serving is their soul, their spirit, their energy, their essence, the force that drives them to live their life and become who they are. That’s the deepest part of their humanity.

I think this idea of repairing and serving the world and doing good is sometimes about the big things — solving the big problem, doing audacious things, which is very Google. In the Empathy Lab we’re starting from a smaller, more humble, more connected place, which is:

How can I repair the part of the world, serve the part of the world, catch the part of the world that is closest to me and that is really going to touch another person?

On how “You’re Welcome” entered the Google Assistant lexicon…

What we found was that the assistant would answer the question … and then people would say “thank you,” but the machine wouldn’t respond because the machine did its little robot job, which was, ‘You asked me a question; I’m going to give you an answer.’ That’s what it’s programmed for.

What’s funny was the machine did its job — it answered the question — but people felt deflated or disappointed … because after you say “thank you” you want to hear “You’re welcome.”

Neuro-biologically, our monkey selves take over and we can’t help but be in that empathic rapport.

On how experiencing a concussion improved her work …

I had a concussion four years ago and it

ArgonautNews.com

was the best thing I ever could have done for my job. … I felt everything and I noticed everything, and it was through that healing process that I really started getting deeper into the teachings [of Ram Dass] again. And what I found was that I could feel when things, at a very subtle level, were taking from me or giving to me. … At that level of noticing, we naturally know whether the thing that we’re doing — a behavior, or using a device — is life-giving or life-taking.

Where Ram Dass and Google Empathy Lab meet is this place of presence and stillness. Taking care of that place is his work. It’s my work. And I feel like if you start in that place — if you start in the place of the heart — then anything that’s created in any interaction people have will anchor us there. Can you imagine technology that looks after that part of us? We aren’t even great at looking after that part of ourselves.

On what a more “Ram Dassian” technological future might look like…

When I look at the forces that are shaping technology right now… I see the hard materials becoming more pliable and flexible and fluid, and even disappearing, and that devices aren’t just for one person. They’re shared, and there’s a

kind of community aspect within a family or within friends. … And then there’s AI, which is this ambient kind of fluid intelligence that shows up when you need it, disappears when you don’t, and then kind of carries with it the bits of information you need, but doesn’t make you go into an interface … but instead is kind of

and not just the parts of yourself that you think are welcome? What does it mean to be one and connected with and considering other people? What is it to lose the things that separate us?

When I look at that with what’s possible in the form of technology, what I see is a place where we can follow our feelings.

“… and then we just infinitely scroll and watch too many videos or whatever.

That’s part of the stickiness of the interfaces now — that they hold on to us in a way that we don’t want to be held.” rising and falling [with] what you need in the moment. Fluidity is very much becoming part of the design experience of technologies. … These things are getting lighter and more fluid.

And then we look at the ‘Dassian’ piece of this this, which is human. What does it mean to be a deeply connected human, and in your best expression and your lightest and soul-est and brightest self?

What does it mean to be all of yourself,

Because when we look at technology in the past and even in the present, we have to change a little bit of who we are to get the best out of it. … We entrain with it in order to do the thing we need to do and the amazing thing that’s possible. But in becoming the way it is, that’s the part of us that gets sucked in.

It feels like, ‘Oh, we need to do this password thing.’ And then this other thing. And then by the time we’re finally

logged in and we do the thing, we forgot what we were doing and then we just infinitely scroll and watch too many videos or whatever. That’s part of the stickiness of the interfaces now — that they hold on to us in a way that we don’t want to be held. But the people that make it don’t want it to be like that. We live with all this stuff and our families and everything, too.

So I think what’s beautiful is the intention for a smoother, more fluid experience in the technology itself. … I always start with: What does the future feel like? What is your emotional experience? What is it like for your inner life to be interacting with these things? … I think it’s really possible to have a supportive relationship and a harmonious relationship with technology.

On whether machines have feelings…

People ask that because I think it’s an exciting and scary question of the new era. I will never say never. …

But I think what’s interesting in that conversation is not what machines feel, but what we feel in relation to these machines. And if we care for ourselves and design the machines around that experience, they will feel so different to us.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A

With rents so high in the Silicon Beach area, is there any downside to simply renting my property out for steady income instead of selling it?

I have been asked this question several times recently. As a real estate broker and attorney, it is my job to stay informed on all issues that impact real property ownership. When it comes to income property, having represented landlords for many years, I am especially attuned to developments- and boy, are there developments.

First, let’s go straight to what is behind this question. With rents in the L.A. area notoriously expensive, the monthly income potential for your home could be significant. Not to mention, you may have seen your neighbors making large profits renting their (homes) out on AirBnb. Why not turn your own home into a cash cow, providing reliable income for the rest of your life? Of course, each homeowner has a different set of personal and financial circumstances that must be taken into account to best answer this question, so this column will focus on the generalities.

For some, keeping your home as a rental may be a good option. You have

already heard about the advantages, and now want to understand the disadvantages. Here are a few things you should think about: • Being a landlord. The checks don’t just roll in, uninterrupted, without effort. No amount of vetting potential tenants can guarantee against job loss, illness, or any personal issue that causes your tenant to default on rent. If you are dependent on that rental income, you must have backup funds sufficient to anticipate loss of rent, potential eviction, or even just time between tenants. Throughout the tenancy, you must continue to make repairs. If your heater breaks down mid-winter, not only will you need to pay to replace it, but you may have to pay for the tenants to stay somewhere else until it’s in working order.

Managing a rental property, especially from a distance, can be extremely stressful. A property manager can be a great solution for this if you are willing to give them a percentage of the rent.

PAGE 24 At Home – THE ARGONAUT’s Real Estate Section September 12, 2019

• Beware of rent control. You may think that your single-family home or condo is exempt from rent control. Well, generally, you are right, but maybe not for much longer. Costa-Hawkins, the State law that restricts City’s from certain impositions of rent control, has been under heavy attack. While a proposition to completely repeal it did not pass last year, those against it have not given up. Additionally, new rent control provisions have been or are being enacted on City, County, and State levels- attempting to restrict rental increases as well as ability to evict on properties that were once believed safe from rent control!!!

• Short-term rental regulations have restricted the use of Airbnb type income in many cities. Los Angeles is now limiting short term rentals to your primary residence, and even for that, with a cap on days per year you can rent it out. By the way, if your property is subject to rent control, short term rentals are prohibited. My point is- the unregulated days of short-term rentals

are mostly behind us. Don’t count on this plan, make sure you can make ends meet by reliance on longer term rentals.

There you have it- being a landlord can be profitable, but there are risks and limitations that any potential landlord must take into consideration before making the decision. I’m always willing to answer questions about these issues and to help with a personal analysis, but I hope I’ve given you some information to consider.

A Fresh Take on Italian

Light & Shadow

Santa Monica’s dnj Gallery exhibits large-scale photos taken without a camera Karen Amy Finkel Fishof is not your typical photographer. For starters, she doesn’t use a camera. Instead, Finkel Fishof stages scenes on light-sensitive photo paper, which she exposes to light and then processes in a darkroom, much like traditional film photography.

The resulting black-andwhite silhouettes, each one a unique interplay of light and shadow, are known as photograms.

“I love the anticipation and surprise of seeing how the exposures reveal once placed in the developer. I get such a thrill because it’s tasting event on Santa Monica Pier showcases the city’s best chefs and restaurants while raising money to keep our oceans and beaches clean.

customers are used to finding in Italian food. The rigatoni All’Amatriciana comes bursting with the traditional guanciale, or cured pig cheek, that makes the sauce so luscious you might just lick the plate.

Cocktails, playful and traditional, make a grand showing at Terzo. The Pisticci Sour — a blend of bourbon, amaro Lucano, lemon, egg white and sugar — comes frothed up, like a Pisco sour, and mixes sweet and sour to perfection. Another fun choice is the Hard Black Cherry Soda, a mix of fernet Jelinek, black cherry puree and bitters. The drink brings to mind a sophisticated rum and Coke — or maybe rum and Cherry Coke, to be

exact. But mmmm … it tastes like being on vacation.

If you still have room, indulge a little more with the ricotta doughnuts.

Cozy like a cashmere blanket, these beauties come in a pool of honey, dusted with fennel pollen.

The word “terzo” in Italian signifies a third place in life — a space to enjoy yourself, beyond work and home. Really, do you need any further invitation?

Light The Barricades @ Annenberg Community Beach House Pause and sit with your thoughts at the new Light the Barricades art installation at the Annenberg Community Beach House (415 Pacific Coast Hwy., Santa Monica). One of three interactive art walls created by artists James A. Reeves and Candy Chang for the Annenberg Space for Photography’s upcoming exhibit “W|ALLS: Defend, Divide, and the Divine,” this particular barrier asks you to contemplate your doubt and what makes you afraid. Dark subject matter for sure, but somehow taking that deep dive by the beach — with waves and seagulls sounds off in the background — makes going there less scary. Get lost in the grains of sand sticking between your toes and falling through the minihour glasses inlayed into the art piece, which you get to turn when you start your mediation. On a lighter note, the whole thing lights up with a brilliant glow at night, making it an interesting object to encounter under the stars.

The Power of Context “The Tipping Point” author Malcom Gladwell unpacks disastrous social miscues in new book “Talking to Strangers” In tonal languages (e.g., Ibibio or Mandarin), slight shifts in pitch change a word’s meaning, so listening to nuance and context is essential. That comes to mind reading Malcolm Gladwell’s timely new book, “Talking to Strangers,” which analyzes consequences of disregarding context. Writing with trademark lucidity, Gladwell frames it with Sandra Bland’s 2015 suicide, presenting officer Brian Encinia’s roadside exchange with Bland as a tragic microcosm of societal misunderstandings.

“The right way to talk to strangers is with caution and humility,” he writes. Where and when you confront a stranger is profoundly consequential, “because those two things powerfully influence your interpretation of who the stranger is.”

Historical records, case studies and court transcripts illuminate the Ferguson unrest, the Stanford rape case, and “mismatched” public figures — those whose demeanor doesn’t match their truthfulness — including Amanda Knox, whose case, in Gladwell’s hands, surpris-

Malcom Gladwell ingly reflects public character.

Bernie Madoff, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, “Queen of Cuba” spy Ana Montes, and Larry Nassar also weave through his narrative, shadowed by Bland’s death.

Examining Sylvia Plath’s 1963 suicide, and Britain’s subsequent plunge in suicides after converting from “town” to natural gas, Gladwell notes that half of America’s annual suicides use handguns; what would happen if the US, like Britain, “eradicated its leading cause of suicide” by “uncoupling” potential suicides from their favored exit visa?

“Those few who were determined to try again would be forced to choose from far-lessdeadly options, such as overdosing on pills, which is fifty-five times less likely to result in death

than using a gun … banning handguns would save 10,000 lives a year, just from thwarted suicides. That’s a lot of people.”

It’s also a volatile topic deserving attention when Gladwell speaks in Culver City on Monday.

sell-off of state-owned buildings in downtown Los Angeles — and won — after serving for decades on the Los Angeles State Building Authority.

Not quite as well-known is his 40-plus years of service on the St. John Health Center Foundation Board of Trustees. Epstein’s development experience was “invaluable” in construction of the new health center campus in Santa Monica, foundation President and CEO Robert O. Klein said.

Retired Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, who worked with Epstein on marina affairs since 1980, recalled Epstein’s abiding love of country and gratitude for the opportunities it had provided him.

Epstein’s business office at Shores was a gallery of eagles, flags and ephemera of American history.

“Jerry loved Marina del Rey and he loved America,” Knabe said. “He was a true American patriot, and I hope everyone will get together and name something in the marina for Jerry.”

Councilwoman Ruth Galanter.

Bowen, a Democrat, said Audet had mastered the lost art of looking beyond a person’s political party affiliation to understand who people really are.

“That’s what was so admirable about her,” Bowen said. “When she told me she planned to support me in my first run for office, she said, ‘I like you.

You’ll do a good job because you’re honest.’’’

Wright said voter participation was a cornerstone of Audet’s personal belief system, but “what people really liked about her was her sensibility and her reasoning, and how she stayed above the fray.”

“She was a truth-teller,” Brian McKenney added. “At times as a young man it was pretty hard to take, but now I see the benefit.”

Audet is also survived by son Steven McKenney and two grandchildren. Per her wishes, Audet will be cremated and her ashes will be scattered at sea in Santa Monica Bay.
