An elderly man heard calling a black womanthe n-word seven times in a viral video taken inthe Santa Monica College Performing ArtsCenter parking lot is facing misdemeanor bat-tery charges, according to SMCPD ChiefJohnnie Adams. Fredric Allan Shinerock wascited and released in the field immediately afterthe arrest Tuesday, Adams said.
In the video, which has been viewed nearly8,000 times on Facebook, the 80-year-old man
appears to shout “You don’t belong (unintelli-gible). Go back to South LA. Shut your f---ingugly, n----- mouth. You’re a n-----!”
In the amateur video, the argument over aparking space then turned physical. Theunidentified woman can be seen striking theLos Angeles man in the face. He tries to kick herseveral times. As the woman walked away, theman follows and a parking attendant tries toseparate the two people.
“Call me a n----- again,” the woman said.

throughout the play.The play is “Through the Eye of a
Needle”, written by Jami Brandli and direct-ed by Ann Hearn Tobolowsky, now havingits world premiere at The Road Theatre onLankershim in North Hollywood.
The company for dinner, in addition toBarbara (Meeghan Holaway), her husbandLarry (David Gianopoulos), and theirteenage daughter Samantha (Kaitlin Huwe),who will not answer to her given name andinsists on being called “S”, includes PastorBill (Chet Grissom), a self-righteous prig ofa man, and his jiggly, neurotic wife Shirley(Stephanie Erb) who reacts to everythingwith inappropriate excitement.
Larry, the man of the house is an angry,bitter worker for the New Jersey Departmentof Transportation who has just been firedbecause “God didn’t supply enough salt toclear all the snow from the road.” AndBarbara, a 1st-grade teacher, insists on set-ting a sixth chair at the table---for Dana.
Pastor Bill and Shirley arrive with loudbursts of good cheer and a huge Christmaspresent for the family: a hideous picture ofDana surrounded by golden cherubs withwings. And Pastor Bill, with his endless ser-monizing, is confronted by Samantha, or “S”,with all the familiar anti-establishment jar-gon that a younger generation is prone toadopt. At one time she chides him withMatthew's admonition that “it is easier for acamel to go through the eye of a needle thanfor a rich man to enter into the kingdom ofGod.” Bring on the camels!
In the midst of all the turmoil, a youngIraqi man named Nasser
(Erica Mathlin) enters. He is Dana's“Christmas present to the family” and hebrings personal letters only to Barbara.Which annoys Larry almost as much as thefact that Nasser is brown-skinned. Nasser,who is identified as Dana's “sugar cookie” (a“code” designation that she and Barbara hadcreated during the scene in the kitchen),eventually tells them his own life story aswell as the story of how Dana died.
The play at this point goes from turmoilto a potpourri of unlikely conclusions, witheveryone having an epiphany and a changeof behavior.
“Through the Eye of a Needle” is not avery good play. But it does have a couple ofexceptionally good players. Chet Grissom asPastor Bill is consistently smarmy andobnoxiously smug in his “piety” andStephanie Erb as his wife Shirley is as uncer-tain in her clumsy walking as she is in herStepford Wife persona. They are bothsuperb.
This play, which has been OvationRecommended and universally lauded, hasbeen extended through Saturday, May 26th.It can be seen Fridays and Saturdays at 8p.m. and Sundays at 2 at the Road Theatreon Lankershim, located in the LankershimArts Center, 5108 Lankershim Blvd. in NorthHollywood.

cuisines that are indicative of the multi-cul-tural aspects of the hotel’s clientele and thevisitors to the city of Santa Monica. I wasinvited in to sample the new menu for thesummer season and had a wondrous mealserved with supreme attention by our mainwaiter Jonathon and his supporting team.
The room itself is an open ceiling, beachycasual design that allows for the sound todeaden and makes the experience much moreenjoyable as it is not a noisy and overpower-ing environment. The whitewashed walls andceilings evoke a freshness to remind you ofthe casual joys of summer. To my liking, themusic was a nice selection of instrumentalsthat were playing softly enough to be spokenover easily but could be enjoyed during thenatural lulls in conversation.
I brought along my friend Anne so thatshe could reminisce about when her hus-band would take her there in their early dat-ing life. We started the meal off with whatwas surely the biggest disappointment of theevening – the breadbasket. To begin with, itwasn’t a basket; it was four pieces of boringbread with little distinction between themon a plate. At a $9.00 price point, I wouldhave been upset had I been paying for it.
Luckily, that was the low point of theevening. We proceeded to have an appetizerround of Clams Casino and Hamachi Tartar.The clams were served on a bed of rock salt androasted star anise. The presentation was beauti-ful and the clams were baked to perfection witha well-balanced ratio of breadcrumbs and a redbell pepper cube. I found the clams to becooked through while still maintaining theirmoisture and delightful taste of the sea. TheHamachi was served atop an avocado moussethat was guacamole-esque. The chile limevinaigrette on the Hamachi was fresh and lightand accented the texture of the fish.
The pasta course was a Mafaldine lin-guine with guanciale, peas, and ramps.Guanciale is a pork product from the jowls;similar to the streaky bacon we are mostused to. Again the balance of ingredients waswhat set this dish apart. I was very happywith the proportions of peas and guanciale,the ramps (which are a type of springgreens) were pleasant but not a strong com-ponent of the dish. Pasta needs to be done toperfection for me, and this was definitely aldente the way my brother used to make it.Paired with the pasta course was a grilled
broccolini over a spicy cherry tomato raguwith feta on top of the broccolini for salt andtang. I am not sure which I loved more, theslightly charred broccolini that added a bitof smoky sweetness to the freshness of thegreens or the spicy tomato jam that wouldhave been lovely over some of the crustybread from the bread (non) basket.
As an entrée, we opted for the lamb chops,which must be served pink to raw in the mid-dle, for my liking. In this case, the grill masterdid a superb job of creating a crust on theexterior of the chop while keeping the interi-or a delightful rare. Accompanying the chopswere smashed fingerling potatoes of no realnote, but there was a side of cavalo nero thathad been sautéed with garlic and was robustand meaty, but not tough. Cavalo nero is atype of kale and part of the cabbage family.This type of green can be difficult and gross,but the chef has mastered it.
No tasting menu is complete without anamazing dessert and 1 Pico didn’t disap-point. We ordered the Pavlova and the sun-dae. A Pavlova is basically a light dessert forthose who don’t like dessert. It’s maceratedberries over a meringue base. It’s basic, hardto screw up or make exceptional, and here itwas a decidedly well done, but still a basicdessert. The sundae on the other hand – wellthis was a masterpiece of desserty in myopinion. It started with salted caramel icecream, then add in caramel covered pop-corn, chunks of homemade brownies, add ina fudge sauce and top with real homemadewhipped cream and nuts. This dessert hassmooth, creamy, crunchy, salty, chocolatey,gooey goodness and is most definitely thestar of the dessert menu. Jonathon recom-mended it, and he was right.
If you need a beautiful location to have amarvelous dinner overlooking the water andthe pier, I suggest 1 Pico for parties of 2 or 20.
1 Pico deserves 4 stars out of 5. Pricesrange from $18-24 for small plates, $18-23for second-course items, dinner mains are$32-58. There is valet parking.

If I gave you everything that I owned andasked for nothing in return, would you dothe same for me as I would for you?

The man shouts the racial epithet severalmore times as he gets in his car and drives away.
“You’re the one who’s in the f---ingwrong,” the woman said.
The May 1 incident is classified as a hatecrime and it is now up to the City Attorney’sOffice whether to pursue other charges.Shinerock could not be reached for comment.
Chief Adams says an officer arrived onscene at about 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, within oneminute of the first call to his departmentabout the incident.
The video was taken by Enrique Conde,an SMC student who had just parked his carfor orchestra practice when he heard shout-ing. Conde said tempers often flare in thePAC parking lot when there are classes andan event at The Broad Stage taking place atthe same time. There was an opera perform-ance scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., aboutan hour after the incident took place,according to the calendar for The Broad.
“It was shocking to see that but, unfortu-nately, it’s not the first time I’ve seen a racialtirade over a parking space in SantaMonica,” Conde said. “A lot of people comeinto work who are not from the area and yousee that friction sometimes.”
Conde said his video doesn’t capture theaftermath of the incident when severalbystanders walked over to comfort thewoman. He said he wished he had donemore to stop the fight and the experience haschanged the way he views other viral videos.
“You watch one of those videos and you’relike ‘why doesn’t anybody do something?’and I became that person,” Conde said.
The student said he expected the parkingattendant to better control the situation.
Bassoonist Anthony Parnther was walk-ing through the parking lot after rehearsingfor the night’s performance when he heardthe n-word. In addition to performing at theBroad, Parnther is the conductor and direc-tor of the Southeast Symphony, one of theoldest predominantly black orchestras in theUnited States.
“The guy’s energy was filled with suchhate and vitriol,” Parnther told the DailyPress in an interview Wednesday. “It wassome really impassioned, hateful screamingthat we witnessed. It was supposed to be amusical celebration and it turned into some-thing that was really shameful and revolting.”
Parnther, who did not get involved withthe argument, said Shinerock abruptly calledhim an asshole before driving off.
“It goes to show that progress is not lin-ear,” Parnther said. “It moves forward andbackward before rolling forward again.”
Parnther said narrow parking spaces atthe concert hall add to the difficulty of find-ing a space before a rehearsal or perform-ance. He said he’s been stuck in his car onmore than one occasion, unable to open thedoor because of how closely the cars aresqueezed next to each other.
SMC’s President sent out a statementWednesday in response to the incident.
“Santa Monica College is an institution thatprides itself on inclusivity and diversity and wewill continue to do our utmost to uphold ourcommitment to provide a safe and inclusivelearning environment,” said Dr. Kathryn E.Jeffery. “We will take immediate and evidentaction to reinforce to our students, collegecommunity, and guests that there is no roomfor hate at Santa Monica College.”
The City Attorney’s Office did not respondto the Daily Press’ request for comment.

Seeds can be unpredictable. Some can stay in the soil bank for half a century before germinating. Legendhas it that one germinating seed was radiocarbon dated at nearly 2,000 years old. There are still manydormant possibilities while the sun journeys the first earth sign of the zodiac. We have yet to see all thatwill grow in this cycle.
Solar Seeds
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Your loved ones, bosses and colleagues are alllooking for the same thing. They want to seeeffort. They need the assurance that someonecares. You'll be someone's saving grace.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Don't forget to play. Play is where the beststuff of the day happens. Play is where you'lldiscover who a person really is. Play will showyou things about yourself you didn't know.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)Your power is growing because you're readyand willing to take on more. Though you havemany supporters, expect some resistance, too.Just because someone is intimidated doesn'tmean you are intimidating.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)It is often the case that compassionate peoplegot that way via life's disappointments andinjustices. Because they moved through badtimes, they are more capable of helping othersthrough their suffering.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)When people want what isn't good for them, aswill be the case today, giving them what theywant isn't going to help anything. For bestresults, apply your own judgment to theactions you take on behalf of others.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You'll be steadfast in your flow of positiveenergy. Some people will seem determined toderail your sunshine agenda, and those peopleare not to be taken on. Ignore them instead.Refuse to be defeated by transient concerns.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)True happiness is impossible to achieve in iso-lation. You cannot be truly happy when othersare suffering. You're connected to all ofhumanity, and you feel that connection in a vis-ceral way today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Though it is possible to experience an easy oreven accidental victory, real triumph belongs tothe enduring. So don't be shaken by the easywins of others. Stay the course. Yours is coming.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Spiritual evolution is work. For instance, to thinkbenevolently about people even if you don't par-ticularly agree with (or even like) them is tooperate on a higher level. You have this in you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You can direct loving feelings toward yourselfand then extend them outward, or direct lovingfeelings toward another then soak them up.Either way, you'll cultivate and share a warmsafe environment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Today you will give second chances. It's whatyou would want were the situation reversed.Also, it just feels better to do this, even if partof you doesn't quite think it's going to workout. You'll always know you were generous.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You believe in people's capacity to improve. It'swhy you're a terrific coach. You also knowwhen to detach. You don't demand people be acertain way to earn your respect. You justrespect them and hope for the best.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 3)
A group will grow and improve because of your contribution. These are the meaningful momentsyou've been working toward! You'll make good on a promise, and it will burst open an exciting tra-jectory. There's real brilliance in your ability to elicit expert feedback and apply it until you get theanswer. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 8, 20, 27 and 33.

“This event can reunite people that grewup here, bring a sense of Venice pride. It's atime to unite the community and celebrateVenice and its diversity, it’s MexicanAmerican heritage and history.”
Inspired by her mother’s death,Ceballos says the “Venice roots andMexican pride” that her mother instilledin her encouraged her to become involvedwith the event. After a stint as a boardmember at the Pico Youth Center, Ceballosbecame a full time community organizerto put on events such as this one, to honorher mother and heritage.
“It’s always been a historic event,”Ceballos said in a phone call. “I had foundmemories of watching it with my mother asa kid. This is my way of honoring her andwho we are, in a way.”
While Ceballos says she grew up in a “sig-nificantly different” Venice, she says the
parade from her childhood still meanssomething to her, especially in “difficulttimes where hatred is spread.”
“My family and many Mexican-Americans have deep roots here in Veniceand we have a history that should beacknowledged and shared,” Ceballos said. “Ithink this is one of the only parades on theWestside and it's a big event for everyonehere and the neighboring communities aswell to come out and celebrate, get to knoweach one another and have fun.”
The parade begins at Lincoln andCalifornia Ave at 10 a.m. It travels downLincoln to Rose before returning via 7thAve to Oakwood Park, 767 California Ave.where it will transition into the festival.Parade spectators are encouraged to viewthe parade on Lincoln between Californiaand Rose. The festival will be openthrough 6 p.m.
Parking is available at Amino HighSchool. The event is free.
