It’s now or never to speak up on harbor development plans“Marina del Rey is a special

place.” We have often heard this

sentiment uttered by bird watchers, recreational enthusiasts, residents and even the decision makers. But the public lands commonly known as “the marina” have suffered from exploitation and pay-to-play political operatives. one more strike against the

taxpayers, who purchased the lands for recreational purposes, is currently being levied. Area residents will have one final look at the Marina del Rey Visioning Plan in front of the small Craft Harbor Commission at their special night Meeting on Wednesday, May 28. But who will know? the

operatives have done a pretty good job of keeping this on the down low — hard to find on the county’s websites. While the county pumps out large advertisements for the MdR Farmers Market (swap meet), you aren’t going to find much information about this “special” meeting. A couple of the workshops that

were established to “gather input” for the MdR Visioning Plan had less than 20 people attend. the Boating Workshop had only four boaters. It wasn’t that boaters and residents didn’t want to attend, they weren’t invited — they couldn’t have known about these “input” meetings. It

was a systematic exclusion of community-based planning. That’s why the meeting on May

28 is so important. the operatives will push their future plan for the marina in front of the commission. they want to permanently establish (codify) residential, commercial and recreational districts on what has always been classified as recreational lands for the citizens of Los Angeles County — another nail in the coffin for the visitors and the exact opposite direction the founding fathers had for the marina in 1954. Let the commission really hear

the community’s voice in how the marina should be developed in the future.

the special night Meeting of the small Craft Harbor Commission is at 6 p.m. on May 28 at Burton Chace Park Community Center, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey.It’s time to speak up. I hope to see

you there. Jon nahhas

Marina del Rey

We all have a stake in the marina’s futureWe ARe Marina del Rey joins

other Marina del Rey stakeholders in urging The Argonaut’s readers to attend the special night Meeting of the small Craft Harbor Commission that takes place from 6 to 10 p.m.

Wednesday, May 28, at the Burton Chace Park Community Room. the importance of this meeting

cannot be overstated, as it may be the last local opportunity to help shape the future of the marina for the next 20 to 30 years. stakeholders include all county

residents and taxpayers — not just “locals,” 99% of whom have never been invited to participate in this selectively public, semi-secret Visioning Process, although the marina is publicly owned county land and all taxpayers’ pocketbooks will be affected.Communities covered by the

Argonaut will be the most affected, and not just by obvious traffic and

parking impacts. Many community services ordinarily provided for in redevelopment plans are absent from the county’s vision and will be increasingly mooched from other Westside communities as thousands of new marina residents, along with untold numbers of visitors from outside the county, seek out their schools, hospitals, gas stations, churches, community centers, senior care services and other facilities that provide little-to-negative revenue for local coffers but are integral to a community’s vitality.Be aware that: • Compartmentalization of the

marina into separate usage zones selectively curtails boating and

recreational uses. some 288 additional hotel rooms and over 15,000 square feet of retail space are being fast-tracked along with over 1,100 new apartment units in the designated “Residential Zone,” while Fisherman’s Village is being held hostage to this unsubstantiated plan.• The launch ramp relocation

proposal is capricious, its sole purpose being to clear small boaters out of the way of a new mega-shopping center that will draw retail businesses and tax revenues away from surrounding communities. the project proposes an inferior location and reductions to public mast-up

storage and boater parking facilities (by 20%). At the same time, wet-slip accommodations for boats under 35 feet are also being decimated. • There is no net new public

recreational development in the county’s vision for this public recreational land. All of us will compete for these inadequate recreational resources, driving up prices and driving out the middle class.there is some good news: Land use

is now squarely on the public table, stakeholders can demand restoration of public use protections, upcoming expiration of private leases create

opportunities for new public parksWe encourage everyone to suggest

the recreational developments that would best serve their neighborhoods. We must not allow the shortsightedness of county officials to compromise the long-term viability of the marina. Whether or not you are able

to attend the meeting, please submit your comments and ideas to [email protected].

It has been a long time since the Argonaut has weighed in with opinions about the subjects we cover. We know that Westsiders have come to rely on our straightforward and in-depth reporting on local news and cultural events to stay informed about their communities, and we consider that role both a remarkable privilege and a serious duty. With our mission firmly in

mind, the Argonaut will, on occasions, have an editorial voice that speaks to and for the community on matters where the level of complexity and amount of information can be daunting. Whether you agree or take issue with our conclusions, this and future editorials are intended to facilitate a better understanding of the important issues we all face together. For complicated decisions that

impact our lives, look no further than your June 3 primary election ballot and its list of dozens of candidates seeking local office. Westside voters have so many

choices that it’s a challenge to keep track of them all, but there are several candidates who stand out from the pack for either strong records of public service, deep understanding of local issues or accessibility to voters.

Congress – 33rd District the contest to replace retiring Rep. Henry Waxman includes 18 hopefuls from a variety of backgrounds, including former Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel, author Marianne Williamson, public radio host Matt Miller and current Westside state sen. ted Lieu. With a track record of being responsive to local issues while advancing big-picture legislation that protects individual liberties, such as an active bill to limit state cooperation with federal domestic spying, Lieu stands apart as the best choice for Argonaut readers. Vote for Ted Lieu.

State Senator – 26th DistrictFormer state Assemblywoman

Betsy Butler, Manhattan Beach Mayor Amy Howorth, and santa Monica – Malibu school board member Ben Allen bring public service experience to this eight-way race, but so does attorney sandra Fluke, albeit in an unusual way. Fluke, a legislative advocate, was thrust into the national spotlight two years ago after Congress blocked her from testifying on women’s health issues. Fluke displays a sharp acumen for local issues and would carry a refreshing mantra to sacramento: Making life easier for families, by increasing access to childcare and education programs as well as expanding services for veterans and struggling entrepreneurs. Vote for Sandra Fluke

State Assembly – 62nd DistrictOut of a field of candidates

with limited political experience, two rise to the top. Marina del Rey businesswoman Autumn Burke and Westchester attorney simona Farrise both appear to have a strong handle on local issues and the ability to connect with the people they seek to represent in sacramento. Burke and Farrise share similar priorities — education, public safety, economic growth. the scion of a family entrenched in L.A. politics, Burke has garnered more support among powerbrokers, but both she and Farrise make convincing cases that they would represent the district well. Vote for Autumn Burke or Simona Farrise.

L.A. County Board of Supervisors – 3rd District One of the most powerful political bodies in the state, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors also functions in a way that often feels remote from the 10 million people it serves. There aren’t all that many people in L.A. who can say they’ve been to a Board of Supervisors meeting. With Zev Yaroslavsky

terming out of office this year, former Santa Monica Mayor Bobby Shriver and former state Sen. Sheila Kuehl top the list of those who seek to replace him. An experienced policymaker with an encyclopedic knowledge of state and county issues, Kuehl has also made herself extraordinarily accessible to the public — a trait that could help change the character of the board for the better. Vote for Sheila Kuehl.

State Ballot Measuresthe two propositions appearing

on the June ballot are essentially asking voters to recommit to policy decisions they’ve already approved. Proposition 41 would redirect a

vastly underutilized $900-million state program to subsidize mortgage interest for struggling military veterans to instead fund rental housing for vets at risk of becoming homeless, which is much more in line with current needs. Following through on the sale of these bonds approved by voters in 2008 does come with a cost: $50 million in interest over 15 years. Considering the fiscal and human cost of homelessness, however, this is money well-spend to repair broken lives. Vote yes on 41. Proposition 42 would reaffirm

state laws that require local governments to provide notice for meetings and respond to requests for public records. some officials at the local level are resisting compliance with these open government laws, arguing that reductions in state payments to local coffers have turned them into an unfunded state mandate. While there is a question of fairness in the state leaving cities to pick up the tab, taxpayer money is taxpayer money no matter which body is doing the spending, and taxpayers should not be cheated out of transparent and responsive government. Vote yes on 42.

The Argonaut’s Election Endorsements


NEWS ArgonautNews.com

By Gary Walker of all the hotly contested June

3 primary election campaigns for Westside political offices, it appears the race for state senate has been the one most deeply impacted by independent expenditures — in this case, spending on political advertisements in support of a candidate that occurs outside that candidate’s knowledge or control. Independent expenditures

have accounted for more than $900,000 spent so far in support of three candidates vying for a state senate seat to represent Westchester, Venice, santa Monica and nearby communities, according to California secretary of state records. the biggest spender: south Bay

businessman Bill Bloomfield, a former Republican turned Independent who has spent more than $405,000 on campaign literature and research in support of santa Monica – Malibu school board member Ben Allen, a Democrat. In 2012, Bloomfield challenged Henry Waxman for his Westside congressional seat and received 46% of the vote. Health care-related political

action committees have spent more than $390,000 in support of state senate candidate Vito Imbasciani, a urologist who has not previously held political office.the big-business political

action committee the Alliance for California’s Tomorrow has spent more than $115,000 in support of senate candidate Amy Howorth, mayor of Manhattan Beach. Howorth has raised more than

$380,000 for her own race, Imbasciani about $250,000, and Allen about $300,000, according to reports filed earlier this month. Candidates are not allowed to

coordinate with the makers of independent expenditures on their behalf, and even some of those who benefit are critical of election laws that allow such drastic spending. “I can’t comment on

[Bloomfield’s spending], but if I had my druthers I don’t think that I would want [independent expenditure committees] in our political system,” Allen said. “But the supreme Court has decided that campaign donations are a form of speech, so that’s

what we have right now. I don’t think that I agree with that ruling, but that’s the way things are.” Allen was referring to the 2010

U.s. supreme Court decision Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Committee, which many describe as the watershed moment that empowered large financial interests to flood races with unlimited spending. Bloomfield said his independent

expenditures for Allen are intended to counter the political influence and financial might of special interest groups.“everybody that you talk to

about [Allen] will tell you that he is absolutely brilliant and that he is very ethical. And smarts and ethics are two things that we definitely need in Sacramento,” said Bloomfield, adding that he met Allen in August and was impressed by his service on the school board. “My wife and I knew there

would be other special interests from sacramento that would be helping certain candidates try to amplify their message, and we want to help Ben amplify his message. We want voters to know that Ben has a real passion for education and what a fine man he is. We need people who are willing to be ethical and to not be beholden to sacramento special interests,” Bloomfield said. steven Baskin, a political

consultant with Pasadena-based sG&A Campaigns, was not surprised to hear that independent expenditures were influencing the Westside state senate race. “In California, we already had

independent expenditures by the time Citizens United was handed down,” said Baskin, whose firm is not active in the race.Baskin said a 2002 state ballot

proposition that tightened campaign spending limits opened the door to independent expenditures playing a larger role in state races. since that time, “there have been attempts to limit campaign contributions even more … but independent expenditure committees can still spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a race,” he said. “You plug one hole and another one opens.”Groups supporting Imbasciani

through independent

The money behind the mailersNearly $1 million in campaign spending outside the candidates’ control has influenced political messaging during a Westside state Senate race

expenditures include a committee sponsored by the California Medical Assoc. and Keeping Californians Working, a coalition of real estate, energy and insurance interests. Californians Allied for Patient Protection — a group that supports limits to medical malpractice suits and is funded by hospitals, doctors and health care centers — has also supported Imbasciani, who did not return calls for this story. The Alliance for California’s

tomorrow, spending in support of Howorth, includes funders as diverse as occidental Petroleum, the health care insurer Blue shield, various real estate groups and unions. Mark Galanty of Galanty &

Company, a santa Monica-based political consulting firm, said outside spending is largely about message dissemination. “At one time, there were only

a few television stations and it was much harder for candidates to be able to connect with voters. now with the Internet, campaign consultants are looking to get their candidates’ message out in as many outlets as they can, and that takes money,” Galanty said. “It’s the way that politics is now, even in state senate races. I’m not surprised to see that these independent expenditure committees are spending what they are in this race.”Former state Assemblywoman

Betsy Butler, who is also running for the 26th senate District seat, said the amount of money spent in the race so far underscores a need for new campaign fundraising rules. “It goes back to the fact that we

need campaign finance reform. Voters need to be aware of who is supporting candidates who receive money from outside

groups and what that money’s being spent on,” said Butler, who has not benefitted from independent expenditures during this election cycle, according to state records. In 2012, an independent

expenditure committee spent $123,000 to oppose Butler’s bid for re-election to the Assembly, in which she was ultimately defeated by current state Assemblyman Richard Bloom (D- santa Monica). As for the current race: “these

groups don’t give me money because they know what my values are, and I would find it hard to believe if a candidate said they were surprised that someone was spending that amount of money to support them,” Butler said. “Who spends [more than] $350,000 supporting a candidate that he hardly knows, and what does the person behind that expenditure want?” state senate candidate sandra

Fluke also has not benefitted from independent expenditures, according to records. Independent expenditures are

not new on the Westside, even in local campaigns. Last year groups that included

a committee funded by former new York Mayor Michael Bloomberg spent more than $1 million in support of Mar Vista resident Kate Anderson’s unsuccessful bid to unseat Los Angeles Unified School District

By Gary WalkerIn many ways, the conversation about

who should replace retiring Rep. Henry Waxman (D- Beverly Hills) has been more about Waxman than about those who hope to replace him in a district that includes Venice, santa Monica and part of Marina del Rey. A May 6 congressional forum in

Venice hosted by the progressive groups southern California Americans for Democratic Action and Venice Action Alliance centered around testing whether candidates were suited to “fill Waxman’s shoes” and spent significant time on one of the veteran congressman’s top priorities: climate change. In 2009, the House passed a landmark

Waxman bill to cap U.s. greenhouse gas emissions, but the legislation died in the senate. In 2013, Waxman formed a congressional task force on global warming that staged a “Wake Up Congress for Climate Action” rally on Wednesday. More than 100 people attended the forum

at the oakwood Recreation Center, where a recent national Climate Assessment report stating that flooding, wildfires and drought were increasing due to climate change quickly took center stage.the event included six candidates —

former Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel, state sen. ted Lieu, author Marianne Williamson, UsC professor Kristi Holmes, former KCRW radio personality Mark Miller and attorney

Barbara Mulvaney. santa Monica attorney David Kanuth was invited but did not attend. Greuel said there were personal reasons

why she wanted to go to Congress to fight for more attention to climate change. “My grandfather was a coal miner and he

died from working in the mines,” she said. Lieu talked about his legislative history

on the issue: sponsorship of a 2012 law that authorized the California Coastal Conservancy to fund projects to address climate change and, as an assemblyman, co-sponsorship of California’s Global Warming solutions Act, which established a goal of drastically lowering greenhouse emissions by 2020.“When I was in the Assembly and I

called for that bill, my district had a huge number of oil companies, but I stood up to them and said this is an existential issue,” Lieu said. Williamson said getting other countries

to join the United states in battling climate change was only one part of a complex equation. “the most important thing that we can

do about climate change is to change ourselves,” she said. “But we won’t be able to have an adequate response to climate change as long as the oil companies are in charge of our policies, and they are in charge.”Miller talked about a carbon fee and

dividend plan that would impose new levies on all fossil-based fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.

“It will raise prices at first, but it would all be rebated back to every household,” Miller said. Audience member David ewing felt it

was important that the candidates focused on climate change. “If we don’t start doing something about

it, people are going to be desperate for resources,” the Venice resident said. the candidates also took on issues of

campaign finance and the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which lifted restrictions on election spending by political action committees. All of those in attendance said they

supported a constitutional amendment to reverse the 2010 ruling. Miller, Holmes and Mulvaney have

raised far less money than Lieu, Greuel, Kanuth and Williamson, and during the forum the three were also the most outspoken about the influence of money in politics.Mulvaney urged the audience to choose

among congressional candidates based on how little they are spending on the race.“We should have money labels on our

candidates. Look at the price tag on your candidate before you decide,” Mulvaney said. “Without campaign finance reform, you’re not going to get any other reforms.”Greuel said she had long been a

supporter of the California Clean Money Campaign, which aims to reduce political spending by special interest groups.But, “Let’s be real,” she said. “That’s

going to take a constitutional amendment, and it’s going to take some time to get it passed.” Lieu said galvanizing multiple states that

want to reverse the controversial decision could compel Congress to act. “that would send a powerful message

to Washington D.C. to overturn Citizens United,” said Lieu, an attorney. “It doesn’t take an attorney to tell you that [equating corporations with people] is really stupid. the fact that that is the law of the land is extremely jarring.”Holmes said she decided at an early stage

of her campaign not to attempt to raise a substantial amount of money and that independent expenditure groups working on behalf of candidates alarmed her. “It doesn’t really matter what you raise

as a candidate. If someone doesn’t like you, someone from outside can raise $5 million or $10 million to crush you,” Holmes said. “So what’s the point of me raising money and wasting other people’s money? I couldn’t sleep at night doing this.”Williamson, who has raised more than

$1 million, dismissed the notion that candidates who raise large sums of money are beholden to their donors. “the point of raising money is to have

a credible campaign,” she said, quickly adding that her campaign has not taken any contributions from corporations or large donors. [email protected]

By Gary WalkerVoters turned out in such high numbers

for one Westside neighborhood council election on sunday that the polling place ran out of ballots. With many crediting expanded voter

outreach as well as community concern about growth and development, the Venice and Westchester – Playa neighborhood councils tallied some of the highest participation totals in the city. After a dismal 214-person turnout in

Westchester – Playa two years ago, about five times as many ballots — 1,135 — were cast this year, among the highest in the region. About half an hour before polls closed at 4 p.m., officials were forced to employ emergency ballots. “this is a sign of a successful election,”

stephen Box, director of outreach and communication for the city Dept. of neighborhood empowerment, which oversees the administration of

neighborhood councils, announced to voters waiting in line. In Venice, turnout was lower than two

years ago but still very high, according to Dept. of neighborhood empowerment totals. this year there were 1,542 ballots cast in the Venice elections, compared to 1,622 in the last election. Mar Vista and Del Rey, however, saw

very small turnouts of 215 and 141 voters, respectively.As in the previous election cycle for

Westside neighborhood councils, some incumbents lost seats to newcomers and board members who had previously stepped down were elected to serve once again. In Westchester – Playa, incumbents

Craig eggers and Kathryn evans lost their reelection bids while most other incumbents, including board President Cyndi Hench, retained their seats. In Venice, the upset of the day was the

contest for head of the Land Use and Planning Committee, which oversees hearing about local developments. In that race, Robin Rudisill beat Jim Murez by a total of 646 votes to 490. Venice incumbents erin sullivan-Ward,

scott Kramarich and Marissa solomon also lost their reelection bids. Mike newhouse was reelected by a landslide and former council members Jed Pauker, Joe Murphy and Kelley Wills won their way back onto the board. In Mar Vista, only one race was

contested and all incumbents won reelection. In Del Rey, incumbent Renae Paonessa

was defeated by thomas taylor by a margin of 53 votes to 16. All other incumbents were reelected — some of them by racking up as little as seven, four and just two votes. In sharp contrast, voters strolled through

the Westchester Municipal Building

throughout the day, several of them discussing concerns about plans by LAX to move its northern runway closer to neighborhoods. “Issues and outreach are the reasons

why we had such a great turnout [on the Westside],” said Alisa Smith, an election administrator. “the turnout exceeded my greatest

expectations,” said neighborhood Council of Westchester – Playa Vice President Mark Redick, who was also the council’s elections committee chair. “We did a lot of outreach to get people to come out to vote. A lot of constituents told me that they were voting for the very first time in this election, and the fact that we ran out of ballots showed how interested our community was. this was a great demonstration of grassroots democracy in action.”[email protected]

employee was driving struck the woman, who was lying face down in the sand, at about 10:30 a.m. as he was leaving the shore.

Officials said the victim was alert and oriented after the incident, which remains under review. the driver “will not be handling beach

driving duties until further notice,” said Beaches and Harbors spokeswoman Carol Baker. Los Angeles police officers interviewed the

driver for several hours before releasing him, Baker said. Lifeguards from the Los Angeles County

Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division and Los Angeles City Fire Department paramedics also responded to the scene.

By Pat reynoldsThrough the years I’ve seen

some pretty testy local meetings happen in Marina del Rey. Pleading, scoffing, yelling and

general theatrics have occurred in many a public testimony in these parts, and I expect there will be all of that and more at an upcoming small Craft Harbor Commission meeting to discuss future plans for Marina del Rey — particularly surrounding the possible relocation of the public boat launch ramp on Fiji Way.As part of its ongoing

“Visioning” process for the harbor, the Los Angeles County Dept. of Regional Planning has put forth the suggestion of sliding the facility — which provides trailerable boats from all over Los Angeles access to the water — down the road into what is now Fisherman’s Village. the folks at DRP say the aim is to make Marina del Rey more connected and they want to see the harbor’s physical layout better integrated. As a means to this end, officials plan to divide Marina del Rey into four distinct sections: a residential district, a retail- and entertainment-oriented Visitor’s Row, a Mother’s Beach recreation area and a Boater’s Way. Where the launch ramp

currently sits is meant to be part of this new Visitor’s Row, with boating amenities shifting toward the southwest end of the harbor, including where Fisherman’s Village is today. “By moving the boat launch

ramp from its current location, we are able to access a site that provides the opportunity to develop the types of visitor- and resident-serving uses that are desired in the marina,” a county statement explains. “simultaneously, relocating the boat launch ramp would also consolidate many of the boat-related services and businesses into a single area, making it easier for boaters to meet their needs in one place.”Well, that seems simple

enough — it’s right down the road after all. noble Consultants Inc., a civil engineering firm specializing in coastal and harbor engineering that worked with the county, believes it’s very doable. Although the proposed facility

rough waters ahead for boat launch relocation planboaters, residents expected to speak out Wednesday on controversial marina del rey redevelopment proposal

NAUTICAL NEWS

“Obviously the people that came up with this are a bunch of urban planners who have never done anything boating-wise in their lives.”

— Mike Leneman of Multimarine

will change the direction in which boats will depart and land, according to noble, there are not any concerns related to either direction of the winds, or flow of the tides. Ah, but here’s the rub: lots of

boaters strongly disagree with the consultants. While the plan retains the three

ramps that currently exist and attempts to meet the needs of mast-up storage — although with just 242 spaces, down from 305 — it's the positioning of the proposed facility that has boaters

crinkling their brows. Presently the ramp exists at the end of a basin, in a cul-de-sac type location, with preferable upwind launching capabilities.“You cannot say that you’re

building a launch ramp that is 90 degrees from the existing launch ramp and then make the statement that the wind direction will be the same,” said Mike Leneman, owner of Multimarine, a company that has launched thousands of boats from the ramps in Marina del Rey. “obviously the people that

came up with this are a bunch of urban planners who have never done anything boating-wise in their lives,” Leneman saidLeneman’s concerns have been

echoed throughout the boating community, many of whom are wary of a facility that would force many non-motorized sailboats and beginner boaters into a potentially precarious situation. When winds reach into the 12- to 15-knot range — fairly typical in the midafternoon — launching and landing could get dicey. “It’s not good for anyone,”

said Kent Andersson, owner of Andersson Marine, who has also spent countless hours at the ramp. “Crosswinds and all the waves from the main channel

will make things difficult. For me, as a professional, I can handle it, but for the novice boater it won’t be easy. [The launch] is meant to be where it’s at. That’s why they put it there in the first place.“But it would be fun to sit and

watch the people launch their boats,” Andersson added with a grin.Beyond the safety concerns,

there are also worries about ending up with a product that is simply not as good. though our regional planners aren’t happy with it, from a boating perspective the current location of the ramp is almost perfect by nearly all reputable accounts. At least one member of the

small Craft Harbor Commission shares some of local boaters’ reservations about the plan to move the launch. “I have concerns about whether

this is going to denigrate the boat launch as a recreational resource,” said small Craft Harbor Commissioner Dave Lumian. “I think right now we have a great launch ramp, and I have questions and concerns that by moving it to this new location it may denigrate the quality and the safety of the facility.”Lumian said he is also struck

by the idea of losing Fisherman’s

Village as we know it. What was once considered the prime destination for tourism in Marina del Rey would, under the county’s Visioning document, become mostly storage and a parking lot. there is certainly a contingent who believes this piece of real estate holds some of the best views the harbor has to offer and that not exploiting that resource may be a costly mistake. “For the past 45 years,

Fisherman’s Village has been drawing visitors from all parts of the world,” Michael Pashaie, a partial owner of Fisherman’s Village, wrote in a letter to the L.A. County Dept. of Beaches and Harbors. “It will be a sad day if it became just a boat-launching facility.”According to Dept. of

Regional Planning officials, the preliminary cost estimate for building a new boat launch ramp hovers around $6.5 million, and additional soft costs would push the price tag over $8 million. Where that money would come

from has yet to be determined. The Small Craft Harbor

Commission meeting starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the meeting room at Burton Chace Park, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey.

great numbers that it looked like the sea was boiling,” said Bruce Philpott, 35, an intellectual property attorney. “It stretched for as far out into the water that we could see under the lights.”After daybreak, birds and

sea lions arrived to feast as Los Angeles County Dept. of Beaches and Harbors crews set about the task of removing dead fish from the water. Workers collected about 7,000 pounds of northern anchovy carcasses over several hours, filling 35 large bags for transportation to a composting facility, Beaches and Harbors spokeswoman Carol Baker said. County workers returned

Monday after thousands more fish floated to the surface. Crews employed an inflatable

boom to contain the dead fish at the back of the basin while removing them with a debris-collection boat — a small, open-deck vessel that utilizes an internal conveyer belt mechanism to skim the surface of the water and pull objects into the boat. on tuesday, biologists with the

Santa Monica-based nonprofit group Los Angeles Waterkeeper

conducted tests in the harbor that determined the waters where the fish had died, known as Basin A, were severely oxygen-depleted. “the main channel in the

marina had six to seven times the amount of oxygen than was present in Basin A,” Los Angeles Waterkeeper executive Director Liz Crosson said. California Dept. of Fish and

Wildlife spokeswoman Janice Mackey said tuesday that while conclusive results of state water and fish necropsy tests are pending, investigators believe the anchovy school likely died of oxygen deprivation after losing their way in the harbor and using up all of its dissolved oxygen. “Why they went into the harbor

is hard to tell, but most likely they were trying to seek cover from a predator species. they kind of got trapped in there, panicked and used up all the oxygen in the water,” Mackey said. Similar fish die-offs have

occurred for similar reasons elsewhere on the California coast. In 2011, a die-off of about six tons of sardines occurred in Ventura Harbor, and millions

Marine biologists and public officials have concluded that lack of oxygen is most likely to blame for the sudden deaths of tens of thousands of fish last weekend in the waters of Marina del Rey, but whether pollution and other environmental factors played a role remains uncertain. Increased water temperature,

algae-feeding urban runoff and too little water circulation may have each played a role in depleting dissolved oxygen amounts below levels capable of sustaining life, according to scientists. the silver blanket of dead

anchovies that coated the surface of the northwest harbor basin between tahiti Way and Bora Bora Way on sunday morning was the result of a die-off that began overnight, according to witnesses. Marina del Rey residents Bruce

and Angela Philpott said they heard a commotion in the water shortly after midnight and were surprised by what they saw. “The first thing we noticed

was the noise. When we looked out across the water, fish were schooling on the surface in such

of various small fish died suddenly that spring at King Harbor in Redondo Beach. UsC marine biology professor Dave

Carron led a team of scientists that concluded the sudden arrival of a large and densely packed school of sardines used up all the oxygen in the waters of King Harbor.“In most of these events, you’re like an

ambulance chaser. You get to the scene after the accident has occurred. In this case we had information from censors that were already in the water before the event,” Carron said. the data ruled out concerns about water

temperature changes, algae bloom and pollution.“This was a huge number of fish, and

they were most likely to blame for taking the oxygen down to critical levels,” Carron said. “the calculation was those fish could use up all the oxygen in the water in six hours.”Due to cutbacks in federal research

funding, the network of water censors that solved the mystery of the Redondo Beach fish kill — sensors once also in place in parts of Marina del Rey — are no longer active, Carron said. tom Ford, director of marine programs

for the nonprofit Bay Foundation, said the man-made harbors such as Marina del Rey harbor are not well designed to support large populations of sea life.“They minimize water movement—that’s

the point of a harbor. the suppression of water movement leads to less water circulation, which can set up this kind of

scenario,” Ford said. “Anchovies swim around constantly and require a lot of oxygen. It’s like sending you out for a run with a garbage bag to breathe out of.” Dana Roeber Murray, a marine scientist

with Heal the Bay, said a multitude of factors could have reduced the dissolved oxygen in Marina del Rey harbor’s Basin A before the ill-fated anchovies arrived. Unusually hot weather may have

increased the water’s surface temperatures, further slowing down water circulation and suppressing aeration. Heat combined with nutrient rich runoff common to the marina may have also stimulated algae growth that further depleted oxygen levels. “the marina is a place where there are

intense stressors on marine wildlife,” Murray said.Ford said the Bay Foundation’s recently

completed restoration of Malibu lagoon focused on restoring water circulation to restore dissolved oxygen to levels that could support an array of marine life. How to improve water circulation in

Marina del Rey is a complicated question, and over the years some have suggested installing pumps or aeration systems to stimulate water movement deep inside the harbor. Carron envisions a network of censors up

and down the California coast that could help scientists monitor water quality and warn of potential ecological disasters, either from low dissolved oxygen levels or chemical pollution. “We have the technology. What we don’t

have is the funding to use it on a regular basis,” Carron [email protected]

•This Week•

this weekend marks the third straight year that Freda and stephen sideroff have produced their Garifuna International Film Festival, an event devoted to the world’s indigenous peoples in which 20 documentary screenings span three days at the electric Lodge in Venice.

By way of specific cultural narratives, the festival shines a light on universal aspects of the human condition, filmmaker Freda sideroff said. “Many of us come from a place of

that we are different. A part of what the experience of this film festival is that we

are more alike than we are different,” she said.Garifuna takes its name from “the name

of my culture, my people, my language,” said Belize-born sideroff, whose lineage includes West Africans who intermarried with the indigenous Arawak and Carib

peoples of south America. she said her people are referred to as Garinagu — people in the diaspora of the Garifuna.This year’s Garifuna Film Festival

By Michael aushenkerIf you hear a buzz around

Venice Beach that “it’s getting hot in here,” know the phrase may have little to do with the weather. That’s because Cornell Iral

Haynes, Jr. is receiving Muscle Beach International Classic’s first-ever Muscle Beach Celebrity Fitness Award on Monday. Now if that name doesn’t ring

a bell, try his professional alias: nelly, the two-time Grammy-winning rapper, currently featured on Eric Fleishman’s “Celebritysweat” videos. Celebrity cameo aside, the

Muscle Beach International Classic is a decades-long Memorial Day tradition.

“Muscle Beach is the home of the greatest bodybuilders on earth,” said event organizer Joe Wheatley. “It’s an iconic part of the Venice culture. It carries on a great tradition. We’ve been doing it for 40 years.”Following Saturday’s Muscle

Beach Raw Power Lift-off, a full-scale power-lifting meet, Monday’s Classic includes bodybuilding, figure and bikini contests as well as men’s and women’s physique competitions. “these are amateur contests —

entry-level competitions to get their first shows under their belt,” Wheatley said.Air Force General ellen

Pawloski returns to deliver opening remarks on Memorial

Day, with an interactive display of the U.S. Air Force’s Command Center Alpha and an F-16 appearing on the nearby basketball courts.But the draw, of course, is the

bodybuilders.“We’re expecting a record

number of athletes,” said Wheatley of the event’s roughly 200 registered participants.That’s up about 50 from last

year, when “Pumping Iron” documentary star Lou Ferrigno received the event’s Lifetime Achievement Award from stan Lee, the Marvel Comics writer who co-created the comic book character that became Ferrigno’s signature tV role, the Incredible Hulk.

there are few dining experiences quite so delightful as those when a small group orders whatever looks most interesting and puts everything in the middle of the table for all to share. this is common in southeast Asian restaurants and tapas places, not so much just about everywhere else —unless it’s my family, from whom servers are used to orders that include a bowl of soup and several spoons. We treat all food as sharing experiences, and revel in variety and community. The multiplicity of flavors isn’t

usually as great when it’s just two of us going out together, save when we take advantage of the culinary traditions of one of the world’s great cultures. In India there is an old tradition called thali, after the stamped metal plates on which these meals are served. It’s the South Asian equivalent of the Japanese bento box, a meal of balanced flavors that offers variety even to a solo diner. My brother and I had a

hankering for Indian food and decided to stop in at New India’s oven, an established Marina del Rey restaurant that changed hands a few months ago. the restaurant’s location in the middle of a shopping center isn’t particularly high-profile. Dark windows make it look closed even when it’s open, but the interior is tastefully decorated with Indian art. though we knew we were likely

to order the thali, we scanned the rest of the menu: an array of Punjab-style favorites such as tandoori meats, vegetable curries and breads. We noticed fish pakoras, a must-have item for both of us, and ordered that along with one “non-vegetarian” and one tandoori thali. (seafood and vegetarian thalis are also offered, but we were both in a carnivorous mood that day.) The fish pakoras arrived fairly

quickly: five good-sized bites in a crisp batter with mild, fragrant spicing. Since we weren’t regulars here, we had ordered everything medium, and as is

new india’s oven can cookorder a thali to experience the rich variety of indian cuisine

often the case that erred on the side of mildness. there was only a slight difference between this batter and what might be found from a particularly good fish-and-chip shop — the technique was excellent — but the exuberance of south Asian food was muted. the mint chutney that was at the table was similarly mild, so we requested hot sauce and they delivered a zippy, vinegary sauce that raised the temperature nicely. We enjoyed the fish while sipping a sauvignon Blanc that handled the spice and seafood flavors nicely. our thalis arrived about

15 minutes after they were ordered, the traditional tin trays loaded with food. As tasty as our appetizer was, it wasn’t essential. the tandoori dinner had shish kebab, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, lamb kebab and spinach paneer, along with naan bread, rice and dessert. the non-vegetarian also had tandoori chicken, along with lamb curry, vegetable korma, lentils, naan and rice. the tandoori items had a fine, smoky flavor and delicate spice, but the kebabs had spent a bit too long in the oven and had dried out. This wasn’t a problem with the tandoori chicken, a leg and thigh that are naturally moist and came out delicious. one of the advantages of

ordering a combination plate in an Indian restaurant as opposed to restaurants of many other cuisines is that curries are slow-cooked stews that get better as they simmer. Compare this with cuisines based on stir-frying, in which a combo would involve making small portions from

scratch or using items that are past their prime, and the advantage is obvious. the curries showed the diversity

of Indian flavors, the korma in yoghurt sauce was creamy and smooth, the spinach paneer rich in vegetable flavors, and the tomato-based lamb curry full of vegetable sweetness and spice overtones. Punjab-style Indian food is the most familiar style in America, and this was a greatest hits list of dishes. My only quibble, besides the slight dryness of the kebabs, was that we weren’t offered a chance to have different bread. even if there was a slight upcharge, we’d have liked garlic naan or one of the stuffed parathas as an option. two desserts were offered —

kheer, an Indian rice pudding, or gulab jamun, cheese balls in sweet syrup. We had ordered one of each but both received the rice pudding. I decided this was probably for the best, however, as I usually find gulab jamun too sweet.our thalis were $17 and $19

— quite reasonable for full and varied dinners, though our wines and the fish pakoras ran the bill over $60. On future visits I’m likely to bring friends and explore the menu further. If I’m alone, or with just one other person, we might order thalis again and tell them to kick up the heat. New India’s Oven open daily at

11:30 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, at 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 9 p.m. Sundays. Free parking, plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, wine and beer served.

“Lou was deserving of the Muscle Beach Hall of Fame and I thought it was awesome,” Wheatley said. “[Los Angeles City Councilman] Mike Bonin joined them on stage. It was a great time. stan was funny. Lou was humble.”Hosting this year’s ceremony

is Fleishman, a.k.a. eric the trainer, whose “Celebritysweat” videos have showcased workouts with movie and music stars, including nelly.“nelly is one of the greatest

artists in hip-hop,” Fleishman said, retracing the rapper’s reinvention from pop hip-hop to club hip-hop to country hip-hop. Last weekend, nelly nabbed an American Music Award for Best Country song for “Cruise,” his hit collaboration with Florida Georgia Line. nelly, of course, is best known

for an army of hits off his 2002 album “nellyville,” led by the Pharrell Williams-produced club banger “Hot in Herre.” “He’s very athletic. He’s a great

sportsman. He’s just a fun guy to hang around with,” Fleishman said.Hanging around the likes of

Ferrigno and his “Pumping Iron” co-star Arnold schwarzenegger has been nothing short of surreal for Fleishman, who grew up on a

(Continued from page 13)muSCle beaCh...

farm in rural Maine. “I owe all of my success to the

old school bodybuilders: Lou, Arnold and Don Howorth, the ‘Duke of Deltoids’ and first hall of fame recipient. He was the first mentor of mine.”Other big influences: Frank Vale

and Jack LaLaine, with whom he shared airtime.“[LaLaine] was talking about

the importance of greens. He’d say, ‘If it tastes good, spit it out!’” Fleishman recalled.Reading Marvel and DC comics

put Fleishman on his path to becoming eric the trainer.“the individuals that looked

closest to those superheroes were these bodybuilders,” said Fleishman, the palm trees, sand and beautiful girls of Venice twinkling at him from afar. “to a 13-year-old kid living in a cold

and desolate place, that’s about as foreign to me as Mars or Venus.” Also surreal for Fleishman

is that he now weight trains the sons of Ferrigno and schwarzenegger.“It’s a tradition; the greatest

bodybuilders of all-time have congregated [at Muscle Beach],” he said. “It’s wonderful to make the journey to be part of that tradition now and to give back to that legacy.”The Muscle Beach International

Classic starts at 10 a.m. Monday at the Venice Beach Recreation Center, 1800 Ocean Front Walk, Venice. Monday’s finals begin following the 1 p.m. celebrity fitness award presentation. The event is free for audience members. Call (310) 399-2775 or visit [email protected]

Daniel F. BrookmanA t t o r n e y A t l A w

By Michael aushenkerOn a scorching weekday afternoon, five sleek

fashion models stand in a small courtyard as they sport new handmade creations by designer emily Hernandez, who fusses with the wardrobe of her quintet as they strike magazine-ready poses. It could have been a scene out of Fashion Week

in Paris or Milan, but the setting was santa Monica College, where Hernandez was among 25 fashion majors readying for next Thursday’s La Mode 2014. The SMC Fashion Department’s annual fashion show in downtown Los Angeles represents the culmination of an sMC fashion major’s experience, taking place just ahead of graduation in June. Like her classmates, 23-year-old Hernandez

has chosen her models from a group of young women — all of them sMC students, some of them also enrolled in SMC’s fashion program — lined up around a large room replete with sewing machines and racks of garments. the West L.A. resident found her inspiration for the line from an unlikely source: 16th-century France, during the rule of Mary, Queen of scots, via the CW show “Reign.”“I was inspired by those types of fabrics, but

I tried to bring it into the present,” Hernandez said.In choosing her ethnically diverse group of

models, “I was looking for a mix of body types and color tones,” she said. “I don’t really care about the height,” said

WingYee, another student designer, of her own model choices. “they have to have a cool look.”Marine Boyadzhyan, who has led SMC’s

Fashion Portfolio Production class for eight years, said her pupils will compete in four main categories come May 29 — casual, business, cocktail and evening wear — with an optional category for avant-garde design.“Many people in the audience are coming from

the industry,” said Boyadzhyan, author of the 2009 book “the Art of sewing.” “they will be judging the garments.”And hiring. several in attendance are from european

fashion houses, and the cream of the crop from Fashion Portfolio Production may land internships or jobs based on their La Mode showcases, Boyadzhyan said.sophomore Yee is already transferring to

Parsons Paris school of Art & Design based on her portfolio’s strength.“I learned a lot — making patterns, sewing

skills,” said the 23-year-old Hong Kong native as she assessed one of her creations, a black-and-white jump suit composed of leather, polyester

haute couture created on campusSanta monica College Fashion department students gear up for next Thursday’s culminating runway show

and chiffon sections.student designer Monica Furchi, who came

to America from Brazil five years ago to learn english and pursued fashion design at sMC after falling in love with Los Angeles, said she benefitted from the program’s hands-on training.“not only are we making garments in this

class, but we are learning the whole process of how to run a fashion show. We have so far raised money, made the flyers, chose the models, looked for judges, worked on our PowerPoint slides,” Furchi said. Hernandez, who had an affinity for arts but

entered college unsure of a major, credited Lorrie Ivas, her Fashion 20 Window Display and Visual Merchandising instructor, with channeling her creativity into an academic direction. she intends to pursue a career in fashion design after graduation and is considering a couple of internships.But summer is far from her mind at the

moment. In the ramp-up to the May 29 show, Hernandez still has much to do.“I have to alter [the clothes] for next week’s

photo shoot,” said Hernandez after her model test run that afternoon. Hernandez will also have to decide on hair and

makeup, as well as a song for the runway — most likely, she said, a retro-feeling instrumental by the Lumineers.“Many of [our teachers] have worked in the

fashion industry, so they can advise us on how to be successful,” Furchi said. La Mode 2014 Fashion Show begins at 7 p.m.

Thursday, May 29, at California Market Center Fashion Theater, 110 E. 9th St., Los Angeles. Tickets are $25 and available at SMC Main Campus Theater Box Office, open from 8 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Call (310) 434-3005 or visit smc.edu/[email protected]

“Across From Jerry's Deli.”

IS

By Michael aushenkerThis weekend, Los Angeles Public Library’s

Playa Vista branch celebrates an important milestone — its 10th anniversary —with refreshments and live entertainment by award-winning virtuoso guitarist shawn Ishimoto. Friends of Playa Vista Library, a nonprofit devoted to raising funds to support programs, acquisitions, entertainers and speakers through memberships and book sales, is sponsoring Saturday’s festivities. this is one celebration, however, that truly

extends beyond this library’s decade-long run.In a Feb. 12 column in The Wall Street Journal,

“Gameworld” author Christopher John Farley wrote that “Libraries of the future could be places we go not to just check out books, but to check out each other — to participate, face to face, in cultural activities in a way we can’t do over the Internet. some of this is being done. Perhaps more of it needs to be done soon.”Count Playa Vista’s library among those that

are doing this now, as the branch reflects and benefits from its still-growing host community.The 90094 has seen significant growth since

Playa Vista’s developers established the first new community on the Westside in decades. The library first opened in September 2003, when Playa Vista held what it called “the largest community open house in recent Los Angeles city history,” with tours of model homes, outdoor concerts, electric car test rides, urban gardening demonstrations, freshwater marsh tours, and model airplane, children’s museum and home technology exhibits. A decade prior to the open house, in 1993,

some 10,500 square feet had been reserved for a library.“Playa Vista developer steve soboroff had

set aside the property given to the city of Los Angeles to build a library,” said Playa Vista Branch senior Librarian Joseph Atkinson, who came aboard the branch six months after its 2003 opening. Designed by architect scott Johnson of Johnson

Fain Partners, Playa Vista’s library was funded by the city’s Proposition DD general obligation bond, which paved the way for construction of 32 new branch libraries.“Westchester Library was built from the ground

up and opened six months before we did,” Atkinson said, while branches in Baldwin Hills and Hyde Park also opened and others, such as the library’s Jefferson branch, received major renovations. not that establishing a library in the new

millennium was a cakewalk. the Playa Vista branch had already reduced staff and hours during system-wide budget cuts of 2004-05, before recession hit hard in 2008.“I can pat the staff here at Playa Vista on the

back for getting out and finding ways of being creative,” said Atkinson, who noted that while budgets were bruised, there was an increase in support for the library during the Great Recession.

“Patrons were cleaning house on their collections so we had some great donations from people downscaling from their condos and homes,” he continued. “they really came forward with some outstanding gifts, including donations of books that were current and popular.”A few years ago, Playa Vista branch resurfaced

from troubled economic times thanks to a boost from city Measure L, which aimed to reestablish library funding at pre-Recession levels. “Measure L allowed us to restore our

acquisitions and update our technology and acquire electronic books. We were able to start hiring part time. Now we’re hiring full-time employees again,” Atkinson said.the library has become more robust in other

ways, too.“this was so supposed to be an empty nest

community,” Atkinson said of the young singles and retirees Playa Vista originally attracted. “Given the housing shortage on the Westside, it turned out this was a real bonanza. so many young couples have stayed on to create families.”Atkinson, who said his branch also draws

residents of Del Rey, Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey and Inglewood, has seen enrollment for seasonal reading clubs spike to 300 to 400 children and 100 teens in the past few summers. He gives many other examples of what sets

Playa Vista apart from other branches in the Los Angeles Public Library system.one is George Fisher — a Westchester-

based physicist whose career began around the time nAsA did —who leads monthly “explorations in science” and “Conversations in science” presentations on biology, physics and anthropology that feature people with PhDs in these fields.There’s also Coding Club, in which pre-

teens and teens learn how to create their own smartphone apps (“We had a guest speaker from Google talk about programming,” Atkinson said), a storytellers and Readers (stAR) club, a Mystery Book Club (for adults), third tuesday Book Club (revisiting classic works) and the Westside Urban Book Club (focused on urban fiction in the “Scandal” vein).Atkinson remembers library board member

Ben eubanks turning up three years ago to lead a chess club with “nobody there.” But, “Within a few months, we had 25 kids,”

Atkinson said. “since then, Ben has expanded into the Venice community. now the Playa Vista chess club competes with Venice and there’ve been tournaments at LMU [and USC].”For Atkinson, the most rewarding aspect has

been “seeing these kids who came in as children are now in college.”The 10th anniversary celebration runs from

11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at Playa Vista Library, 6400 Playa Vista Drive, Playa Vista. Call (310) 437-6680 or visit lapl.org/branches/[email protected]

Waters,” involving eskimo tribes, and “Africans on the Move the Maroons”— Greenland and Belize, respectively.Among the highlights: “We still Live Here” documents how

the Wampanoag people of north America lost their language and how they are recovering it.“Finding samuel Lowe” follows Harlem-

raised Paula Madison, of Jamaican-Chinese descent and owner of the Africa Channel, on a search for estranged relatives in China.“Revolutionary Medicine” describes

the free health care system built by the Garifuna people, a feat achieved without regular access to electricity, sideroff marvels.Accompanying the festival’s cinematic

experience is international art and music, including the Garifuna Jazz ensemble and a pair of keynote speakers: Piper Dellums, a women’s rights activist and daughter of former Congressman Ron Dellums; and Honduras’ Lina Martinez, who started a woman’s cooperative where the women of her Garifuna village are hired to prepare ereba, a native root-based food of the Awaks and Caribs.VIP events from 6 to 9 p.m. on each

night include discussions by filmmakers in between screenings. this weekend also marks the return

of Victoria Mudd’s Academy Award-

(Continued from page 13)Native stories...

winning doc “Broken Rainbow,” narrated by Martin sheen, about the plight of the navajo and the Hopi. Mudd accompanies her film with her presentation “Images of Indians from Real to Reel,” discussing “the way they’re portrayed on screen,” sideroff said.Meanwhile, “the Gift of Life” traces the

lives of Jews who escaped the Holocaust to end up forming a Jewish community in shanghai. “My husband is Jewish,” sideroff

said. “When the Jews speak of the Holocaust, the pain for all of us who have experienced pain is so magnified. We tend to think that our individual pain is more than those of other cultures.” Longtime Marina del Rey residents,

sideroff and her husband, a clinical psychology professor at UCLA, lived at the Mariners Village apartments for 12 years before relocating to topanga Canyon last year. In 2012, sideroff completed “A

Conversation with my Grandfather,” a documentary about her ancestral and cultural roots. Around it grew a film festival “focusing on the preservation of indigenous culture — the breaking of bread, the sharing of common stories with how indigenous people would be affected,” she said.In its first year, the single-day event

showcased 10 films, primarily Garifuna productions. Year two saw the festival spread out across two days at Mariners

Village and the Beyond Baroque Literary and Arts Center in Venice. With the third event now spanning three

days, is sideroff shooting for a 10-day run in 2021? “Don’t say that! My husband will freak

out!” she said, laughing.The third annual Garifuna International

Film Festival happens from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Electric Lodge, 1416 Electric Ave., Venice. Tickets are $10 for screenings, $20 for VIP events, $95 for a one-day pass, $180 for two days and $250 for the weekend. Call (310) 663-5813 or visit [email protected]
