by Judy Raskin

Echo Park Lake is scheduled to

be closed some time shortly after

this years Lotus Festival (July 9-10,

2011), marking the start of an 18-24

month rehabilitation project.

Construction is expected to begin

late summer, with the Department ofPublic Works - Bureau of Engineering,

acting as the lead agency. The main

objectives include improving the

water quality in the lake, and reducing

the use of municipal water required to

maintain the water level of the lake.

Representatives from the EPIA

Neighborhood Issues Committee

(NIC) have been meeting regularly

with the Bureau of Engineering

project managers and Council District

13 representatives for the last six

months to address issues such as

the impact on nearby residences,

historic resources, resident wildlife,

and the sustainability/maintainability

of landscaping.

These meetings will continue

throughout the duration of the

project.

The Echo Park Lotus Festival is an annual tradition

that celebrates, for two days, the Asian and Pacic

Islander communities in Los Angeles and the greater

area. This is the 33rd Lotus Festival weve had - but

we didnt think it would return this year.

A Niht To Remember

by Susan Borden

Les Freres Taix is the grandest, most magnicentrestaurant in Echo Park. Its warm but dignied French

farmhouse faade and imposing porte-cochere stand

out among the smaller eateries and cafes that line

Sunset Boulevard.

Anyone whos lived in Echo Park for ve minutes knows

that Taix is pronounced Tex and that its the place to

dine when you want white tablecloths, dark wood, thick

draperies, and attentive, French-speaking waiters. You

want spacious banquet rooms? Chandeliers? Taix is

the only game in town! When youve got to have thebest for your crowd naturally you book your event at

Taix.

The Echo Park Improvement Association Spring

Social on April 7, 2011 took place at Taix Restaurant

in their splendid Champagne Room. Members of

EPIA, community organization staffs, elected ofcials

representatives and uniformed peace ofcers rubbed

shoulders with business owners, local artists, school

principals, residents and everyones guests. Drinks for

all, served from the in-room bar with yummy nibblesand hors-doevres to complement them, put the group

into a friendly, relaxed mood.

The highlight of the night was a surprise for Maryanne

Hayashi. She was presented a beautifully lettered

certicate of appreciation from both the City Council

and EPIA for her years of service.

In addition, a decorated cake was presented along

with several rounds of hearty applause.

Maryanne directs the local youth group Central CityAction Committee, which shes headed for the past

thirty years. Maryannes one of the few people who

could successfully pull it off and stay smiling. Alejandra

Marroquin, who is Council President Eric Garcettis

eld deputy and who presented the award from the

EPIA member Susan Borden reflects on our Spring Fundraiser in April


Maryanne Hayashi of Central CIty Action Committee celebrates 30years of service.

Echo Park businesses generously donated a variety of goodies for therafe - from libations and cupcakes, to gift certicates and artsy tees.

Sunday in the Arboretumby Michael OBrien

Sunday, May 15 dawned cool and rainy, putting the

scheduled tour of the Chavez Ravine Arboretum by the

Horticultural Society of Southern California in question.However, the tree gods were smiling, for the weather

cleared and was brilliantly sunny with no schmutz in

the sky for the tour.

Chavez Ravine Arboretum in Elysian Park was founded

in 1893 by the Los Angeles Horticultural Society, and

planting of rare trees continued through the 1920s.

Many of the trees in the arboretum today are the largest

and oldestand in some cases the onlytrees of their

species known in California. As such, it was designated

Historic-Cultural Monument No. 48 in 1967.

Lead by Bart OBrien of the Rancho Santa AnaBotanical Garden and Don Hodel of UC Cooperative

Extension, many of the trees visited are appropriate

for the average garden. You can download a list of the

trees in the Arboretum, and a map, by a Google search

on Chavez Ravine (or Elysian Park) Arboretum.

The following trees are not usually found in the normal

nursery, but they are available in the trade, and any

nursery can order them for you.

For those of you who still have lawns, or an area with

poor drainage, the Tupelo tree (Nyssa sylvatica) is agood candidate. It is a native of the damp bottomlands

of the East, and as such requires regular water. Its claim

to fame is its brilliant red fall color, unusual in Southern

California. Since it is deciduous, it will allow sun in

during the winter, yet make a good shade tree during

the hot summer. Slow to moderate in growth rate, it wil

stay in scale in the average yard for some time.

For those of you who like natives, do not overlook

the Catalina Ironwood, Lyonothamnus oribundus, the

Catalina Ironwood. Native to the Channel Islands, the

variety asplenifolius, with leaves divided into leaetsis more frequently encountered. It has ferny-looking

foliage and produces large white ower clusters in late

spring and summer. It is noted for its stringy red bark

Its a fairly narrow tree, and so will t into tight spaces

and it looks great in groves. For a coastal tree, its fairly

drought tolerant.

Everyone loves Coral Trees, and yet most of them

are too large for the average yard. However, Erythrina

corralloides, the Naked Coral Tree, is a smaller version

of the better known Coral Tree from San Vicente

Boulevard in West L.A. and will behave in the averagegarden. Its brilliant red pine cone shaped owers

appear at the branch ends in spring. In fall, its foliage

turns a dependable yellow before falling, letting the

winter sun in. In winter, its bizarre branching structure

can be seen. Native to Mexico, it should be sparingly

watered (most Coral Trees in L.A. are over watered).

debris.

New informational signage is planned that will

give park-goers details about the parks ora andfauna.

The lotus pond will be replanted.

W cge w u ee dug cuc?

The entire area surrounding the lake will be closed

to the public during the construction period. The

Recreation Center, tennis courts and playing elds

will remain in operation.

For the benet of domestic and wild birds, fou

temporary ponds will be constructed two on theisland, one at the north end of the park, and one on

food - all of which celebrate Asian and Pacic Islander

culture and traditions. This years focus is on the culture

of Thailand. There will be a Health Fair, community

groups offering information, and boutiques for shoppingOne thing that wont be part of this annual tradition wil

Edible fruit is always a plus, and there is nothing as carefree as the Loquat,

Eriobotrya japonica. The Loquat is an evergreen, leathery-leaved small tree that

produces clusters of fuzzy white owers at the branch ends in winter, followed

by clusters of small, round, yellow fruit in spring. The typical tree bears somuch fruit that even after the squirrels take their share, there is plenty left over.

Loquat fruit can be made into jams and jellies, but the fruit is so perishable (why

you dont see them in the market) that they are best eaten right off the tree, with

the juices running down your arms.

They can get along with no supplemental water, or take as much water as you

want to give them, but if you water the trees well, you should thin the fruits as

they develop or they will break the trees branches. There is a bronze-leaved

variety, Eriobortya deexa, which bears no fruit.

And of course, there are the Bottle Trees, Brachychiton. The Arboretum has

two, B. discolor and B. acerfolius. B. discolor, or the Queensland Lacebark,bears large, bell-shaped rose colored owers in the summer, which are followedby clusters of hard, brown, canoe-shaped seed pods that can be collected and

spray painted gold and silver for your holiday decorations. B. acerfolius, or the

Australian Flame Tree, bears large clusters of red, tubular owers which, when

they fall, carpet the ground with red. They are both drought tolerant.
