‘A prisoner in my home’Re: “Venice Beach Is Not a Campground,” power to speak, Dec. 18I have lived half a block from

the Venice boardwalk for nearly 30 years. When I first moved in I acquainted myself with the resident homeless folks and helped them when I could with food and blankets. They were part of the landscape, part of the vibe of Venice. And, quite frankly, while mentally disturbed or drug addicted they weren’t at

all aggressive or frightening in any way — just lost souls.Over the years the situation has

changed dramatically. While we still have what I would classify as homeless folks, we now also have a major drug problem on the boardwalk fueled by metham-phetamine sales and use. These folks are dangerous and need to be controlled in some fashion.I think Dec. 24 issue letter

writers Ms. Easton and Mr. La Grossa missed part of what Mr. Ryavec was proposing in his

column — the part about finding housing and services for the truly homeless. Ryavec has also been at the forefront of early interven-tion with these folks, as the lon-ger they stay out on the streets, the harder it is to get them to ac-cept the housing and services that we all agree they would benefit from. Additionally, he is a strong supporter of Teen Project, which works to get young folks off the street and back in school.This is not about property

values. This is about quality of

living in your own neighbor-hood. I have seen mine decline over the last 30 years to the point that instead of walking my dog in my neighborhood I now drive to Santa Monica or Del Rey Lagoon. It is not OK for a few lawless folks to force me into this behavior. A couple of weeks ago some guy jumped the fence next to my house, into my backyard, up the tree next door and onto the roof of a house after that. We had helicopters, police and firemen respond. The

guy was totally stoned.I think we are all on the same

page here in one sense: we want compassionate treatment, housing and services for those homeless people who will take advantage of such services. What I am not comfortable with is creating a living space for meth sellers and users to continue be-havior that makes me a prisoner in my home.

Career Success Starts Here!

Fast growth means slow trafficRe: “Slow Growth City,” cover story, Dec. 18“Moratorium” is a word that Los

Angeles city leaders don’t want to see or hear in Westside neighbor-hoods, even though our north-south streets from LAX to Santa Monica are gridlocked every day. They continue to give the

thumbs-up on major projects and are unlikely to change their minds anytime soon, and so thought-ful growth is not happening on

the Westside anytime soon — or even thoughtful slow growth, as the new mayor of Santa Monica stated in the Dec. 18 edition of The Argonaut. With over 60 projects slated for

Westside neighborhoods, we can expect 25,000 to 30,000 addi-tional car trips on our streets each day. If you want to understand just how much extra traffic that is, stand on Venice or Pico boule-vards for eight hours: 30,000-plus cars per day travel these streets. Meanwhile, it’s becoming more

and more common that people have to deal with living next door to a colossus like the home pictured alongside Katherine Conway’s letter in last week’s paper. New transit-orientated housing

developments next to the Expo Line are being looked at as a good thing and encouraged by civic leaders, but no one knows just what the Expo Line will bring in the way of additional traffic to our already overcrowded and gridlocked streets.

Will people start parking in neighborhood streets if Metro sta-tion lots are full or if they have to pay to park? Will restaurants, bars and stores around the Expo Line stations become destination points on already crowded streets?It’s time to put the brakes on

new development and see what traffic the Expo Line brings be-fore we allow huge projects to go up around it. Playa Vista is going to be a huge destination point, and the traffic you see today is going to be 10 times worse when

that project is complete. Just look at the traffic surrounding The Grove! In a nutshell, it appears the city

of Los Angeles and its leaders are willing to allow any and all development to help fill their coffers with fees and taxes at the expense of destroying the single-family communities that surround these colossal projects. There’s no good reason we can’t have slow, thoughtful growth instead.

Thank You!

By Paul M. J. SucheckiOn recent sailing trips out of Marina del

Rey harbor I’ve been looking in vain for a familiar sight that had become a welcome reference point for years: the American flag that once stood tall on the breakwater has been missing in action.Even if the flag had become frayed,

I thought, that was no reason to remove it permanently. I was reminded of an old seafaring poem: “Ay, tear her tattered

ensign down / Long has it waved on high / Many an eye has danced to see / That banner in the sky.” – “Old Ironsides” by Oliver Wendell HolmesOne of the few healthy things to come

out of our nation’s reaction to the 9/11 terrorist attacks was that for the first time since the Vietnam War turned ugly,

Americans across the political spectrum embraced the flag again in national unity.The flag on the marina breakwater was

more than a symbol of our country, how-ever. “It’s the last thing you see as you leave

the marina and the first thing you look for when you come back,” said Brenda

Varma, who sails with the Single Mariners of Ma-rina del Rey, a recreational boating group based at the Pacific Mariners Yacht Club.When I saw the flag on

departure, my heart always quickened because I knew I’d soon be braving the open ocean. But its true emotional tug was on the return. With its prominent position I could spy it from miles away

and set course for it. The flag’s proud presence was a soothing, welcoming sight for all boaters — whether they had been out for a quick jaunt along the bay,

a weekend in Catalina or a wearying trek much farther away.Even at night it stood illuminated,

beckoning all toward safe harbor. Now the breakwater looks barren. Another important function of the flag

for boaters was that it acted like an airport wind sock. If the flag were stretched taut, it was time to reef sails. “The flag is a useful indicator of actual

wind speed, since it takes a pretty good

breeze to get Old Glory completely un-furled,” said Evan Sandler, the skipper of Sailient, a 30-foot Catalina sloop.I’ve used it to determine not only wind

speed but direction. The flag’s position before leaving the harbor for a day sail has told me whether or not I’d be tacking constantly just to clear the Venice Pier or have a straight shot to Malibu. It has helped me decide whether I should head

Where’s our flag?The Stars and Stripes have disappeared from the marina breakwater but may return in 2015

The flag’s proud

presence was a soothing, welcoming sight for all

boaters.

Photographer Harry Drinkwater chronicled the post-war African-American experience in Los Angeles

By Michael AushenkerWhen photographer Harry Drinkwater

died on nov. 24 at the age of 95, he didn’t pass quietly. Friends and neighbors joined his family members on Venice Beach to celebrate the life of their resident bon vivant in a public Dec. 7 memorial.After all, Drinkwater had become a fix-

ture of Venice over more than six decades. In his professional life, Drinkwater used

his camera to chronicle the post-World War II African-American experience as well as L.A.’s jazz scene and the rise of its mid-century modern architecture.some of that work appeared recently at

the Hammer Museum and in the Pacific Standard Time exhibit at The Getty Cen-ter, where some 1,200 Drinkwater photo negatives are being archived. subjects included the work of architect Paul Wil-

liams, interior designer John smith and modernist landscape architect Garrett eckbo as well as the catalogue for “66 signs of neon,” noah Purifoy’s “junk art” response to the 1965 Watts Riots.off the clock, Drinkwater shot count-

less photographs of the people, places and goings-on of Venice, said son Jafiel Drink-water, currently archiving an estimated 40,000 photo negatives in storage. “He was an artist who was very eclectic

but he was a master of black and white,” said ex-wife Ginger Drinkwater, who was married to Harry from 1968 to 1985. she remembers a man in love with his

community: “He took a lot [of inspiration] from the boardwalk, from people, the performers. He did wonderful images of the performers.” the couple shared an apartment that took

up an entire floor at 1119 Brooks Ave. and would host vibrant salons there. “He was a catalyst. We met film produc-

ers. We just happened to be in a place where all this was going on,” Ginger Drinkwater remembered.Jafiel Drinkwater remembers his father

as a dedicated and meticulous craftsman.“He was really into format, step by step,

doing it the right way. everything had to be in order. He’s from the old school — there was no digital or anything,” he said.Born in napa Valley

in 1919, Drinkwater grew up in Yountville before heading south to san Diego at age 13.“He took off from

his family and drove down in a Model t,”

Jafiel Drinkwater said.According to his son, Drinkwater began

shooting photos in 1947, encouraged by G.I. bill support he received as a World

Harry Drinkwater, 1919 – 2014Venice artist is remembered for living life to the fullest while capturing others’ lives on film

“He was very charismatic, very charming. Everything he did

was very smooth. He wasn’t the richest guy on the planet, but

rich in that. Women were always attracted to him.”

War II veteran. A graduate of the Fred Ar-cher school of Photography, Drinkwater worked for African-American community papers the eagle (1947-49) and the sen-tinel (1949-55) as a general assignment photographer, later capturing landscapes for architectural periodicals.“He was very charismatic, very charm-

ing. everything he did was very smooth. He wasn’t the richest guy on the planet, but rich in that. Women were always attracted to him,” Jafiel Drinkwater said.Bingwa thomas, an actor

who founded the nonprofit Venice Arts (then Venice Arts Mecca) as a reaction to the gang violence gripping Venice in the late 1980s, remembers Drinkwater as an active member of the Venice creative scene. thomas got to know Drinkwater in 1992, when he allowed photographers to utilize his facility’s 400-square-foot darkroom in exchange for two hours a week mentoring students. “the photography part was Mr. Drink-

water’s baby. He had ideas how to do different things,” thomas continued. “He was my Wikipedia — it was Drinkwater-pedia. If you had any questions about anything, you’d ask him.”

Drinkwater, also survived by daughter sharon o’Key of Washington D.C., could frequently be seen walking or bicycling around Venice at a time “when people were afraid to go out of their house,” thomas said. “He was 70 years old at the time but he seemed like he was in his late 30s. And then, after you talked to him, he might be 25.”

Videographer Jenny Chu was nearly 30 when she met Drinkwater through the Venice Dream team program in 1996.“He was 77 years young and an inspi-

rational friend and totally cool cat. His greatest gift to me was that he believed in me and my talents, and I’ll always cherish that,” Chu said.Drinkwater befriended sylvia Rath and

her husband, former KCRW DJ Derek

Rath, when he attended their dance parties at the Venice Place on West Washington Bou-levard (later renamed Abbot Kinney Boule-vard).“Mainly, I remember

Harry on the dance floor,” Sylvia Rath said. “Harry would be right in the middle of the dance floor with women literally forming a circle around him waiting for a turn to cut in. He knew just the right place to put his hand behind a woman’s back, gently guiding her around the dance floor. He would tell us, with a sparkle in his eye, that he danced his way through World War II when stationed in Weymouth, england, with an all-negro regiment.”Ginger Drinkwater said she will miss his

energy.“He had such a zest for life that it was

hard to see him go. He was such an incredible, vital human being. He enjoyed life and he was a magnet for bringing people together,” she said.A Venice-raised surfer and skateboarder,

Jafiel Drinkwater said he will miss confid-ing in his father: “He put me in the right

direction.”“When we had exhibitions, he was the

first one to be there. The first one to start dancing and the last one still dancing,” thomas recalled. “Mr. Drinkwater was a people person. It was very important to have those types of people who really loved life. He loved the ladies, and he loved life.”“Harry was always a charmer, even

into his 90s, with his sweet smile and smooth dance moves,” Rath said. “All the years that I knew him, he used the same line when ladies asked how he was doing: his warm smile would spread across his face and say ‘Better now!’”

By Gary WalkerLos Angeles County lifeguards set a new

annual record for ocean rescues in 2014, with unusually warm weather drawing large crowds to L.A.-area beaches and an increase in erosion-driven rip currents catching swimmers off-guard. Lifeguards had made 14,523 ocean

rescues this year as of Christmas Day, shattering the previous record of 14,097 ocean rescues in 1997, according to county statistics. More than a third of those rescues oc-

curred on Westside beaches: 2,549 at Venice Beach, 2,354 along the santa Monica coastline and 756 at Dockweiler state Beach in Playa del Rey. Ocean rescues are defined as a lifeguard

physically moving a victim out of a dan-gerous situation in the water to a safe area using any form of rescue equipment. “At least 80% of our ocean rescues are

caused by rip currents. But there are a variety of other specialty rescues that hap-pen less frequently, such as people falling off rocks or jetties into the ocean with clothes on or a victim panicking in the surf’s impact zone from waves crashing

on them,” said A.J. Lester, a spokesman for the L.A. County Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division.Acting Chief Lifeguard steven Mos-

ley said a great deal of erosion occurred along many of the county’s beaches due to a high frequency of larger-than-normal surf this year, explaining that the erosion

created what are known as “inshore holes” up and down the coast. “the combination of consistent surf and

inshore holes caused rip currents to form more frequently along our coast,” Mosley said.Los Angeles County Lifeguard section

Chief Christine Linkletter said that the

combination of those frequent large swells with consistently warm weather luring lots of people to the beach drove this year’s spike in distressed swimmers. “We attribute a lot of the high number of

rescues to a perfect storm of great weather and superwarm water and several huge summer swells. Basically we’ve had an endless summer since March. We really didn’t have a winter, and the water is still warm,” Linkletter said.Los Angeles County beaches received an

estimated 73.4 million visits this year.In addition to the unusual frequency of

rip currents, Lester cited the rescues of six kayakers and four paddleboarders who were blown out to sea near Malibu by santa Ana winds and a shark attack near the Manhattan Beach Pier in July among the incidents that kept the county’s life-guards busy from the beginning of spring until practically the end of the year.Lester also noted the series of lightning

strikes at Venice Beach on July 26 that killed 20-year-old santa Monica college student nick Fagnano and injured 13 oth-ers. As many as 15 lifeguard companies were on the scene that day. the rescues continued last week, with

lifeguards making 22 ocean rescues on Dec. 23, including one at Dockweiler.

It’s difficult to pin down a single theme that accurately defines 2014. In many ways, this was a pretty confusing year.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shot up from 16,441 in January to a record high of more than 18,000 before Christ-mas, but wages remain flat for most as the cost of living climbs — except at the pump, with gas prices plummeting well under $3 per gallon. A rainy and cold December has capped

off months of intense concern about the still very troubling drought. And how will we ever explain the Ice

Bucket Challenge to our grandkids? Restoration plans for the Ballona Wet-

lands still haven’t materialized, and for better or worse the Annenberg Foundation has decided against building a controver-

sial $50-million nature education center there, putting us back where we began in 2013.The courts struck down prohibitions

against people sleeping in cars as security along Venice Beach ratcheted up, but the clearest remedy for homelessness — more affordable housing — remains out of reach. At the same time, residents have found

themselves pitched against developers in neighborhood battles over increasing density. In Santa Monica it was opposition to the towering Hines project that turned the political tide toward slow growth. In Marina del Rey, longtime locals and boat owners say they’re being squeezed out by county plans for a harbor makeover and are up in arms about plans to redevelop tranquil Mariners Village. A proposed

restaurant patio in a formerly industrial block of Venice has become a lightning rod for critics of a much wider gentrifica-tion trend. Meanwhile, Playa Vista is riding the

Westside tech industry boom to an unprecedented growth spurt. IMAX is already building a new $45-million West Coast headquarters there, and Google just bought 12 acres for a $120-million corporate compound. Construction of the Runway at Playa Vista retail center and adjacent high-end housing (already selling fast!) clips along at a breakneck pace, foreshadowing what may become the big-gest story of 2015.

Notable arrivalsWith the fate of the mothballed santa Mon-ica Civic Auditorium still in the balance, The Forum became the Westside’s domi-nant concert venue on Jan. 14, when the historic structure reopened with a concert by the eagles after a $100-million remodel by the Madison Square Garden Co.REAL Creative Space, a Westchester

workspace for artists and creative entrepre-neurs, opened in May. Malibu real estate player Howie spunt opened P32 Gallery in santa Monica in october, and in Decem-ber QART.com celebrated the opening of a new gallery in Marina del Rey.the Playa del Rey dining scene saw

the opening of two new restaurants on the higher end of the culinary spectrum: Brooke Williamson’s Playa Provisions and Italian small-plate bistro Bacari PdR. In santa Monica, east Coast transplants

were treated in September to the first of a new wave of West Coast Dunkin’ Donuts, and Midwesterners found a taste of home with Steak ‘n Shake opening on third street Promenade. southern-ers weren’t left out, either: a Chik-fil-A opened on Jefferson Boulevard just east of Playa Vista, with hundreds of diners camping overnight for a year’s supply of sandwiches. In February, Dave & Bust-er’s took over 42,000 square feet of the Howard Hughes Center in Westchester. Venice got even more organic in April with the opening of Locali Conscious Convenience on Lincoln Boulevard. Ruth’s Chris Steak House moved into Marina Marketplace in november. Maria Taesil Hudson Carpenter ar-

rived from Massachusetts to become santa Monica’s new city librarian in June.

Notable Departuresthe Westside’s live music scene lost two notable small venues this year. The Good Hurt quietly shut down this fall after 12 years in Mar Vista, and The Talking Stick coffeehouse on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice (where it had moved from ocean Park Boulevard in santa Monica) ended its storied, decades-long legacy as a live folk music and fine arts venue a few weeks ago.the Broad stage founder Dale Fran-

zen stepped down from her post as the santa Monica cultural venue’s director in September. In May, after 55 exhibitions in a decade, Meg Linton left her post as director of otis College of Art and De-sign’s Ben Maltz Gallery in Westchester. James Gray Gallery, a mainstay at santa Monica’s Bergamot Station complex, folded this year.Despite community protest, Mar Vista

lost Pepy’s Galley to eviction from the AMF Mar Vista Lanes in June, and the long-running Rock ‘N Rye delicatessen in

Culver City shuttered in October. George Petrelli, founder of George Petrelli Fa-mous Steakhouse in Culver City, died on May 30. original L.A. gastropub Ford’s Filling Station closed in July after eight years in Culver City.

taurant celebrated 45 years in novem-ber, and also that month Hama Sushi in

Venice threw a party for its 35th birthday and Time Warp Music in Mar Vista cel-ebrated 10 years on Venice Boulevard. on Jan. 17, santa Monica’s most famous

native son, Popeye the Sailor, turned 85. Agagagagag!

Year of the barD aND burlesquenewbie santa Monica theater group City-Shakes presented contemporary versions of “Romeo and Juliet,” “Macbeth” and “twelfth night,” while Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice sold out the house for months with an unorthodox and stripped down version of “Henry V.” London’s Globe Theatre brought its staging of “King Lear,” starring Joseph Marcell of “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” fame, to the Broad Stage. the Odyssey Theatre used contemporary military uniforms to update its staging of “othello.”

A number of burlesque troupes had recurring Westside gigs this year, nights that in some cases bested concert atten-dance. The Toledo Show and The Lalas stripped down at Harvelle’s in downtown santa Monica while the Dollface Dames got down ‘n’ dirty nearby at Britannia, Magicopolis and tRiP, and the Bootleg Bombshells took it off at Venice’s Del Monte speakeasy.

New movemeNt iN Digital effectsIn an industry still reeling from the Rhythm & Hues lay-offs of 2013, one of the special effects house’s founders, Keith Goldfarb, started Santa Monica-based Blackthorn Media, a content and visual effects company involving several ex-R&H people. Last month, Del Rey-based House of Moves — a seasoned motion capture and animation studio with credits including FPs video game classics “Call of Duty” and “HALo”— split from its parent company in order to renew its core creative mission.

By Michael AushenkerWhen the santa Monica Civic Audito-

rium was shuttered in June 2013, many in the community balked. With so many memories dating back

to its summer of 1958 opening, there was a lot of emotional attachment to the venue — and still is. A new exhibit at the Santa Monica

History Museum dubbed “Cultural Mecca: 50 Years of entertainment,” takes a nostalgic look back at the myriad concerts and other public happenings that took place at the Civic, telling its story through photographs, event programs, posters, ticket stubs and other paraphernalia preserved by the santa Monica Cultural Affairs department. “A lot of the bigger bands played here

before they got big. Led Zeppelin played during their first concert tour in 1968 before they outgrew it, and that seems to be the trend with a lot of bands,” said Cultural Mecca curator Danielle Lewis.But that wasn’t always the case. At the

peak of their powers, the Clash played the Civic in 1978, 1979 and 1980, touring behind albums “Give ‘Em Enough Rope,” “sandinista” and “London Calling.” so did

By the mid-1990s, Cypress Hill, sonic Youth and Rage Against the Machine had each performed there. the list of the acts that have played the

Civic is long and eclectic, ranging from the Rolling stones (1964) and Albert King (1970) to Andre Previn (1959, 1960, 1970) and Cheech & Chong (1972 and 1973).

Dining Room at The Shangri-La Hotel

1301 ocean Ave., santa Monica(310) 394-2791

shangrila-hotel.com

I grew up eight blocks from the beach, but I rarely go there when everybody else does. When the sun is high and the tourists are packed elbow to elbow, I’ll be almost anywhere else. It’s amus-ing to watch the throng at play for a few minutes, but then I’m off to someplace for shade and cool beverages. After nightfall, that changes.

A cool evening, with the moon reflected from the sea and the sound of the waves uninterrupted by traffic and human activity, is tranquility itself. All of these delights were in flower on a re-cent evening when, strolling the beachfront in santa Monica, we decided to dine at a hotel named after paradise — the shangri-La.the sleek art deco architec-

ture here is no modern fake. the hotel was built in 1939 and survives almost unaltered. the menu in the dining room is up-

to-date, though — new chef Ka-reem shaw revitalized what had been a lackluster kitchen with a focus on premium ingredients from the nearby farmers market. offering euro-Asian contem-porary food in this space would be jarring, but the American classics are enlivened by modern touches.I was immediately attracted

to the oysters with an array of seasonings and the charcute-rie. But I wanted to test the kitchen, so we ordered escargot sautéed in herbed vodka garlic sauce and an heirloom tomato salad that was served over garlic cauliflower puree. Escargot is usually an excuse to eat garlic butter, but while the snails don’t have assertive flavor, there is a light, shellfish-like aspect to them. this was enhanced by the sauce; although vodka is almost flavorless, cooked into sauces it can extract oils from herbs and intensify flavors. In this case the garlic and herbs had a vivid but not overpowering flavor that complemented the snails, and this may be the most successful escargot dish I’ve ever had.the salad wasn’t quite perfect,

but only because the golden beet and heirloom tomato chunks were too large. It made a beauti-

ful presentation, but I think who-ever cut them was thinking more about visual impact than utility. It was worth ordering, however, because under the layer of fruit, vegetables, cheese, pine nuts and frisee lettuce was a creamy, rich garlic cauliflower sauce. This was slightly like some Middle eastern dipping sauces I’ve had — cool, creamy and rich — and it was a delight to pair it with the other flavors on the plate.For main courses we took our

server’s advice and ordered Colorado rack of lamb and the Kurobuta pork chop — real Japanese Kurobuta, we were informed, fed on grain and beer and massaged daily. (Much pork sold as “Kurobuta” is raised elsewhere from the same breed-ing stock and doesn’t get the spa treatment.) Kurobuta lives in such a clean environment that it can be ordered medium-rare, which our server advised. I tried it that way and found it very good but not mind-blowing; tender and certainly more flavor-ful than the industrially raised pork, but I couldn’t identify any distinctive note. the big chop was well complemented by tart cherry gastrique, delicious scal-loped potatoes and the spray of

Nearly unaltered since 1939, the Shangri-La is an authentic Art Deco experience

root vegetables and asparagus that rounded out the plate.I was more impressed by the

Colorado lamb — three meaty, good-sized chops topped with a cognac-cream sauce. Lamb isn’t often topped with cream sauce; it’s a rich meat even without it, so most chefs use herbs, garlic and tart sauces for contrast. there were herbal and sweet overtones here, but they empha-sized the richness of both in an appealing way. Colorado lamb has less of the “gamy” flavor that many people don’t like; I prefer that flavor, but have to admit that the Colorado has superior texture and tenderness. It’s lamb for beef eaters, and though it commands a premium price it is worth trying. We asked our server Raylene

to pair our courses with wines, and she did a fine job: a Stag’s Leap Karia Chardonnay and Villa Maria sauvignon Blanc for the starters, Byron Pinot noir and seeker blend with the entrees. the wine list here is small but well-chosen, and the restaurant gets points for having a knowledgeable staff.We finished with Shangri-La’s

version of a berry napoleon and

a brandy poached pear in puff pastry, a dessert so time consum-ing that most places don’t offer it. this was very good, despite it being well past pear season; the chef is finding good fruit somewhere and treating it very well. I was less impressed by the napoleon — it was a stack of puff pastry, whipped cream and berries in a sweet coulis, and could have used some tartness to balance it.Dinner at the Dining Room at

The Shangri-La Hotel is expen-sive but not priced out of line

given the historic landmark sta-tus, oceanfront location and gen-eral luxury. Our meal ran $209, and, at $52, the lamb we ordered was the most expensive item on the menu. this is a place for a romantic splurge, with a walk on the bluffs overlooking the beach and pier afterward, to unwind from whatever is hectic in your life and simply relax.

Dining Room at The Shangri-La Hotel is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Valet parking. Corkage $25.

shows, the rest highlights the other entertainment there,” Lewis said.that includes, of course, the

Academy Awards — held at the Civic throughout the 1960s. An entire wall of the exhibit is devoted to the oscars. “one of my favorite things is

the poster board that security officers used during the televised awards to tell them where they ought to be,” Lewis said.Given the myriad events that

took place at the Civic over the years, the museum has set up a memory board for people to leave notes sharing their own experiences there.“the culmination of the Centen-

nial Celebration for santa Monica’s 100th birthday was held at the Civic Auditorium in 1975. Lawrence Welk and his band performed for the dinner and dancing. I worked on the centennial committee and was there that evening,” santa Monica History Museum founder Louise Gabriel remembered. When it comes to the Civic’s

future, that book’s still open. Proposals for the Civic Audito-

rium’s future include a “dream scenario” $50-million full restoration to anchor a locals-focused arts and culture district, but adaptive reuse for office and retail space is also an option.

the economic feasibility of various proposals for the Civic is the focus of a two-day public workshop set for Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. the santa Monica City Council is expected to make a decision as early as May. the museum’s Cultural Mecca

display continues through Jan. 24. Come February, the focus shifts to cinema with an exhibit celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Aero theatre and its 10th

year under the proprietorship of the American Cinematheque.

“Cultural Mecca: 50 Years of Entertainment” runs through Jan. 24 at Santa Monica History Museum, 1350 7th St., Santa Monica. Tickets are $5. The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays at varying hours. Call (310) 395-2290 or visit santa-monicahistory-museum.com.

New Year’s Eve Musical Review @ Santa Monica Playhouse Family Theatre: Dec. 31, at 6 and 9 p.m.tonight’s the night — the only night — for this special production of “finger-snappin’ 40s jazz, foot-stompin’ country rock, Jewish patter songs and romantic bal-lads.” Between various Jerry Mayer comedies, Debra ehrhardt’s one-woman show “Jamaica Farewell” and Daniel Cainier’s “Jewish Chronicles,” santa Monica Playhouse has been on a roll this year. Expect no less from its family-friendly division as it rolls into 2015. Santa Monica Playhouse Family Theatre, 1211 4th St.,

Train to Zakopané: A True Story of Hate and Love @ Edgemar Center for the ArtsResumes Jan. 8, continues through March 29At 76, filmmaker Henry Jaglom suddenly finds himself at the height of his powers … as a playwright. Based on true events that occurred to Jaglom’s father simon as he crossed

Poland in 1928 just before the rise of nazi-occupied eu-rope, this recently debuted production contains a parcel of powerful performances, most notably by lead Mike Falkow as simon Jaglom, stephen Howard as a prejudiced priest, and Jaglom’s wife, tanna Frederick, in the volatile lead female role of a casually anti-semitic nurse who unwittingly falls for Falkow’s Jewish businessman.As with Jaglom’s last edgemar original, “Just 45 Min-

utes From Broadway” (also directed by Gary Imhoff and starring Frederick), the writing and acting in “train” is solid. only this time, Jaglom has really challenged him-self, simultaneously tackling themes of clashing cultures, self-hate and self-love, and God, destiny and history.Edgemar Center for the Arts, on the Main Stage, 2437

Main St., Santa Monica. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thurs-days through Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays. $34.99. (310) 392-7327; edgemarcenter.org

rapid-fire repartee and cutting social commentary, utiliz-ing a robust cast that includes Gail Bernardi, Harold Der-shimer, Lucas Hannig, Michael Hovance, Branda Lock, Doug Mattingly, Alicia Reynolds, Melodie s. Rivers, Collette Rutherford, Michael sandidge, Bruce starrett, Hollister starrett, Andrea stradling and Jack Winnick. Westchester Playhouse, 8301 Hindry Ave., Westchester.

The Hebrew Hillbilly @ Santa Monica PlayhouseJan. 10, 8 p.m.Jaglom isn’t the only one tackling Jewish subject matter in santa Monica. But now for something completely different, as the Monty Python troupe used to say, an illustrated pointing finger toward singer-songwriter Shel-ley Fisher, who has fashioned a one-woman play around her personal and professional odyssey trying to “make it” in Hollywood, weaving from her Deep south roots to the not-all-that-glitters-is-gold streets of tinseltown. Directed by Rory Mitchell and produced by Debra eh-rhardt, the show’s songbook contains 14 originals written by Fisher, musical director and keyboardist Ken Hirsch and Harold Payne.

Chavez Ravine: A Revival @ Kirk Douglas TheatreJan. 27 to March 1As the satirical troupe Culture Clash celebrates their third decade, principals Richard Montoya, Ric salinas and Herbert siguenza were not content to merely rest on their critically acclaimed laurels. With the tagline “Remixed. Relived. Reloaded.” on the posters, it’s clear this will not be a mere dusting off of their most famous play 12 years after it debuted at the Mark taper Forum. Reworked with new music from the Rodarte Brothers, Culture Clash re-introduces their commentary on L.A.’s constantly changing urban landscape that builds on the real-life tragic metaphor that is the late 1950s creation of Dodger stadium and how a Latino community was hastily up-rooted and then thrown under the bus in the process.“We feel that society has changed, we’ve changed, and

we want to reflect a little more about what’s going on now,” Culture Clash said in a statement. Kirk Douglas Theatre, 9820 Washington Blvd., Culver

City. Previews begin Jan. 27; officially opens Feb. 4. Tickets are $25 to $39. (213) 628-2772; centerthre-atregroup.org

north or south to Redondo and beyond. Studying the flag also revealed whether the breezes were shifting quirkily in Santa Ana conditions or gradually clocking as they usually do during the day.To find out why the flag had

disappeared, I turned to Carol Baker, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Depart-ment of Beaches and Harbors. She told me that the flag’s problems went back to that light.During the last dredging of

the channel the cable powering the light was cut. “We replaced it with a solar-powered system that caused us one problem after another. On cloudy days the solar array didn’t generate enough power. Bird guano of-ten dirtied the panels. A rogue wave during a February storm then took out the system. We were even struck by vandals,” Baker said. Lucie Kim, also with Beaches

and Harbors, said she recog-nized how important the flag was to the Marina del Rey boating community — and, more important, that it may return.“We are doing our utmost to

bring it back. In the interim, the staff manually raised and lowered the flag on July 4th and Veterans Day this year,” Kim said. “There’s been some talk about

moving the flag to a more ac-cessible location, but the public prefers it where it is,” Baker added.Marina peninsula resident and

power boat skipper Michael X. Burns, who wrote to The Argonaut wondering what had happened to the flag, agreed.“I think the Stars and Stripes

deserve their spot at the Ma-rina’s gateway. It was always a great symbol on the horizon to see on beautiful beach and boating days,” Burns said. “This is our nation’s second biggest city. When those Rus-sian oligarchs visit on their yachts, they should be remind-ed what country they’re in.”Baker told me that we can

expect a new solar-powered, energy-efficient LED light-ing system for the flag in the coming year. Unfortunately, she doesn’t expect to see a new flag raised until Memorial Day.
