More than meets the eye with runway move

Re: “Future of LAX takes shape under airport director’s watch” (Argonaut, Dec. 20).

In the interview with Gina Marie Lind-sey, regarding Los Angeles World Airports’ preferred options for Los Angeles Interna-tional Airport growth, she stated “...move the runway 260 feet closer to the neighbor-hood; we own all of the property… that doesn’t have a very significant noise

change on the north side.”Contrary to Lindsey’s remarks, LAWA

only owns the land in the current buffer zone; it doesn’t own the land or homes within an expanded buffer zone. An ex-panded buffer zone would be required just to maintain the same relative buffer zone between the community and the noise.

Moving a runway 260 feet is very sig-nificant, where historically only a line on a map delineated which homes received LAWA soundproofing and which didn’t. If the source of noise moves 260 feet closer

Enough with the faith quibble

Re: “Displays don’t belong here” (Ar-gonaut letters, Dec. 27).

As a longtime atheist I was embar-rassed and offended by the tone of the let-ter to The Argonaut. I found the displays

to a neighborhood, the noise buffer zone would also have to move.

But increasing the buffer zone doesn’t solve the problem. While the relative buf-fer zone would remain the same, all homes on the north side would still suffer an in-voluntary encroachment from being 260 feet closer to the noise source.

And LAWA does not own any of the airspace above the homes it proposes to encroach on. LAWA’s options to mitigate their noise encroachments will not be ac-ceptable. Additional soundproofing doesn’t address increased noise outside a home, whether in a backyard, or in the neighbor-hood in general.

A “voluntary” residential acquisition program (i.e. Manchester Square), that slowly creates a blighted community as an incentive for remaining homeowners to “volunteer” to move, will not be embraced. LAWA is not expanding its footprint in this community.

Lindsey is obviously an educated woman, with an arrogant disregard for our community. Soliciting public comment is just an illusion as it doesn’t seem to have had any impact on LAWA’s decision where it competes against financial concerns and business interests.

in Santa Monica to be a pleasant reminder that the Christmas season was upon us and did not see them as threatening, intru-sive or an attempt to recruit converts.

Most atheists are themselves intensely moral people who don’t need to be part of a club or a movement; it’s simply a world view that many people hold. There’s no need to stigmatize, antagonize or intrude on others who hold different views. By fighting these trivial battles and taking such an antagonistic approach, they con-firm a belief that there is a “war on Christmas.”

In terms of comparing an atheist to Rosa Parks, the letter writer compounds his error. Parks was herself a devout Christian, as were most of the brave peo-ple who surrounded her in a fight that re-ally mattered. I would remind the letter writer that atheism, like religion, can also be turned into a divisive and cultish force. Stalin did exactly that.

Get a life guys... there are more impor-tant things to worry about than Nativity displays in a country which is 75 percent Christian.

By Gary WalkerLos Angeles World Airports

(LAWA) authorities announced Dec. 17 their “strong commit-ment and desire” to have a Metro light rail station connec-tion into Los Angeles Interna-tional Airport.

The Los Angeles Metropoli-tan Transportation Authority will be exploring the possibility for such a station at LAX later this month.

LAWA officials believe an airport-owned property west of Sepulveda Boulevard in Westchester, on the east end of the Central Terminal Area within LAX, is one possible option for a direct nexus onto airport prop-erty with the Crenshaw/LAX Line. Other proposed options in-clude an intermodal transporta-tion facility in the vicinity of Economy Parking Lot C or Man-chester Square in Westchester.

Airport officials believe the stations could have a direct con-

nection to a future automated people mover system that would bring a “high level of service and connectivity” for passengers at LAX.

During a recent meeting of the Los Angeles Board of Air-port Commissioners, LAWA re-ported that it has “substantially accelerated planning work and coordination with Metro staff to evaluate the best interface of our (airport) facilities with transit.”

Craig Eggers, the chair of the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa’s Airport Re-lations Committee, welcomed the news that airport authorities would like to have a light rail station that goes into LAX.

“I’m thrilled,” said Eggers, a Playa del Rey resident. “Any-thing that can be done with ground transportation other than a Rapid Bus is good stuff.”

LAWA Executive Director

Gina Marie Lindsey told The Ar-gonaut in a Dec. 6 interview that she strongly backs having light rail come into the airport.

“I’m a big believer in transit connections with airports,” Lind-sey said. “What we are doing is acknowledging that the MTA is building a (Crenshaw Line) sta-tion at Aviation and Century (boulevards) and we will connect with that station – there will be a circulator.”

The airport director reiterated that the site that LAWA officials think would be a good end point for the light rail line would be close to an area near the admin-istration tower at the Central Terminal area.

“We could not be more sup-portive of a very good, robust connection between light rail and the airport,” Lindsey added. “I feel like that means that you should get it as close to the air-port as you can. Airports more and more are going to become

transfer centers for people’s lives, and the more modal con-nections that you can tap into at an airport the better.”

County officials feel that fed-eral representatives have an im-portant role to play in making the Crenshaw/LAX Line connec-tion to the airport happen.

“Not only is it necessary, but I am also very pleased to support this proposal and I will do every-thing that I can to work with our officials in Washington on this project,” pledged Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Westchester).

Proponents of light rail have been calling for a connection into LAX for years.

“I am thrilled that Gina Marie Lindsey and Los Angeles World Airports are dedicating various sites for a decades-overdue air-port/rail connection, and I praise her and the hard-working Metro team led by Roderick

LAXAirport officials express ‘strong commitment’ for light rail station

Diaz and Cory Zelmer for work-ing together for such a worthy cause,” said Ken Alpern, who chairs the light rail advocacy group, the Transit Coalition.

Alpern had previously been critical of Lindsey’s views on light rail entering LAX, citing statements in a transportation blog that quoted her as express-ing more support for a rapid bus instead of a light rail connector.

The transit advocate noted that the public has supported having a Metro Green Line con-nection to the airport as well but there would be a cost for having it go into LAX.

“The taxpayers favor this project as much as any transpor-tation-related project that has been proposed for this region and state, but they should be under no illusions about the price,” Alpern cautioned. “Whether it’s an indirect Metro rail/LAX people mover connec-tion at Century/Aviation or a more direct Metro rail station in the Central Terminal Area, the cost to the taxpayer will be ap-proximately $1.5 billion or more.”

Eggers thinks that it was in-evitable that airport officials would eventually publicly back a connection with light rail to LAX for many reasons.

“I think it was a matter of time for this to happen,” he said. “It’s hard to imagine anything happening without this being a key component of (airport mod-ernizations).”

Alpern, who is a member of the Mar Vista Community Coun-cil, thanked two county supervi-

sors who are also Metro board members for their support of a light rail connector to LAX.

“I am equally thrilled that Su-pervisors Don Knabe and Mark Ridley-Thomas are so sup-portive of an expedited connec-tion to be built by 2020, and look forward to their efforts to work with the city and county of Los Angels., as well as with Sac-ramento and Washington (D.C.), to fund this worthy project,” said Alpern, who also co-chairs Council District 11’s Transporta-tion Committee.

Knabe submitted a motion at the Metro Board of Directors’ Oct. 25 meeting, asking for a “detailed strategy” for a transit connection to the airport by 2020.

“Frankly, it’s embarrassing that the second largest city in America with the third busiest airport still does not have a di-rect transit connection,” the su-pervisor told the board. “While Metro talks about accelerating projects, there could not be a higher priority than connecting our airport to all regions of Los Angeles County.”

Metro officials are expected to report back to the board on Knabe’s motion at its Jan. 24 meeting.

The Federal Aviation Admin-istration would be consulted on building such a connection to LAX. Other agencies that the FAA recommends that airport officials consult with include the state and local transportation de-partments and the Federal Tran-sit Administration. §

REP. MAXINE WATERS (D- WESTCHESTER, standing to the left of the podium) has pledged to support a light rail connection with transportation facilities at Los Angeles International Airport.

“We could not be more supportive of a very good, robust connection between light rail and the airport,” Lindsey added. “I feel like that means that you should get it as close to the airport as you can. Airports more and more are going to become transfer centers for people’s lives, and the more modal connections that you can tap into at an airport the better.”

Waxman, Waters back sen. feinstein’s call for ban on assault weaponsBy Gary Walker

Lawmakers who represent communities within The Argonaut coverage area are backing proposed legislation by Sen. Di-anne Feinstein (D-CA) that would again outlaw the sale of semiautomatic rifles in the United States.

The legislation would ban weapons that have been used by gangs and bank robbers in criminal activities but are also utilized by gun enthusiasts who say the rifles can be used for hunting.

“On the first day of the new Congress, I intend to introduce a bill stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufactur-ing of assault weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds,” Feinstein stated late last year. “I am in the process of gathering support for the bill in the Senate and House (of Representatives).”

“I have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislation,” the senator added. “It will be carefully focused on the most dangerous guns that have killed so many people over the years while protect-ing the rights of gun owners by exempting hundreds of weapons that fall outside the bill’s scope. We must take these dangerous weapons of war off our streets.”

Feinstein was the author of the 1994 assault weapons ban. It was not reinstated under President George W. Bush in 2004.

The senator’s proposal comes on the heels of the tragic killings of 20 children and six adults Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn. at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The gunman, Adam Lanza, 20, used a Bush-master 223 military-style rifle in the mass murders.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Venice) said he would back legislation brought by Feinstein when Congress reconvenes this month.

“I have been a strong supporter of an assault weapons ban,” Waxman said, not-ing that he supported the 1994 version. “Assault weapons are military weapons and should not be used for hunting.”

Gun rights proponents counter that many hunters enjoy using rifles that fire bullets at high velocity while hunting.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D- Westchester) said she would also lend her voice to Feinstein’s bill.

“It appears that we have reached a tip-ping point in this debate,” Waters respond-ed when asked by The Argonaut if she thought enough political will existed to pass a ban on assault weapons and maga-zine clips that hold more than 30 rounds of ammunition.

The National Rifle Association, after

remaining silent for nearly a week after the Sandy Hook killings, came out swing-ing at a Washington, D.C. press confer-ence in response to the proposed ban.

NRA Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre, in a combative Dec. 21 appear-ance before a group of reporters, called out several entities that he considers the main culprits in the tragedy that occurred in Newtown. He castigated politicians and the makers of violent video games, and said “genuine monsters” like Lanza walk among law-abiding citizens every day and the only way to deal with them was with more guns.

“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” LaPierre told the audience of reporters.

The NRA executive also challenged Congress to put armed security guards “in every school in the United States.”

California lawmakers appear to be one of the nation’s congressional delegations most open to considering some form of gun control. While many Republican leg-islators still remain silent on Feinstein’s proposal, Republican Rep. Tom McClin-tock told a Northern California newspaper that such laws tend to “create a society in which criminals are as well-armed as ever

and law-abiding citizens are rendered in-creasingly defenseless.”

McClintock also said the Bushmaster rifle functions with “the same firing mech-anism as many handguns, sport and target rifles,” even though it might resemble an assault weapon.

William Spengler, Jr., an ex-convict in upstate New York, killed two firefighters with a similar rifle as they responded to a fire on Dec. 24. As a convicted felon, he was not permitted by law to own or pos-sess a gun.

At the press conference, LaPierre ad-dressed his organization’s silence on the Newtown shooting until a week after the killings transpired.

“While some have tried to exploit this tragedy for political gain, we have chosen to remain respectfully silent,” he ex-plained. “But now we must speak.”

Waters said the NRA has long held a powerful grip on many Republicans in Congress, despite its recent losing efforts to defeat lawmakers whom they consider “anti-gun.”

“The gun lobby has held a very strong influence in Congress for many years,” she noted.

She echoed Waxman’s earlier com-ments rejecting the need for a citizen to own an assault rifle. “These weapons are only used for killing human beings,” Wa-

REP. HENRY WAXMAN (D-Venice) says he will support legislation that would out-law military-style weapons when Congress reconvenes.

ters said.LaPierre also lashed out at safe school

sites, Hollywood producers and a usual NRA straw man, the media, for its “com-plicity” in what he called “a corrupting, shadowing influence” on the public.

“The media acts as silent enablers” in promoting violent video games and mov-ies, LaPierre said. “The media demonize lawful gun owners instead, rather than face their own moral failures.”

“on the first day of the new congress, I intend to introduce a bill stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds. I am in the process of gathering support for the bill in the senate and house (of representatives).”

On “Meet the Press” on Dec. 23, LaPi-erre doubled down on his earlier remarks and rejected outright any discussion on gun reform legislation. “If it’s crazy to want to put an armed police officer in every school in America, then call me crazy,” the NRA executive responded to a question by host David Gregory.

President Barack Obama has also weighed in on gun reform.

In an interview on “Meet the Press” Dec. 30, Obama said he would seek gun reform in 2013 as part of his legislative agenda. “Something fundamental in America has to change,” the president said.

“(The Newtown massacre) was the sad-dest day of my presidency.”

Obama added that it could be difficult to pass any legislation unless there is sig-nificant public support.

“We’re not going to get this thing done unless the American people decide it’s im-portant to them,” he stressed.

Waxman concurred. “It’s imperative that citizens get involved and contact their representatives in Congress,” said Wax-man, who also represents portions of Santa Monica and Marina del Rey.

A Gallup poll taken Dec. 31 showed that 58 percent of the nation now favors stricter controls on guns.

Waxman said the assault weapons ban is needed again in the wake of the New-town killings. “It should never have been eliminated,” the congressman asserted. “The time is right for it to be reinstated.” §

By Betsy GoldmanThe foundation of parental guidance

and religious education influenced Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Jon Pe-ters of the Pacific division to become a police officer.

“My mom and dad are two amazing individuals that taught myself and my sib-lings the value of service, giving back, being there for others, hard work and ded-ication,” he says. That, combined with the focus on compassion and social justice is-sues taught by the Jesuits at Loyola Marymount University, set Peters on track to work with people.

The purpose of college for Peters was an education, not a career. He majored in biology, thinking he might pursue a field in medicine because he wanted to help others. But he soon realized that was not going to happen. The idea of sitting be-hind a desk doing the same tasks day in and day out was not appealing to him.

There were aspects of the LAPD he liked – helping the public, being in a job where no two days are alike and the abili-ty to participate in sports.

“I’ve always been involved with sports and physical activities,” he says. “I have an opportunity to still compete because we have a number of police Olympics and sporting events.”

On Dec. 14, Peters celebrated 25 years with the LAPD.

“I moved around a lot in my career,” he says. “The longest I’ve ever been (in one place) is four years. I kind of get an urge to move on. It keeps you fresh be-cause you’re learning new things, meeting new people you work with and new peo-ple you’re supervised by. It’s almost like starting a new job every time.”

As a young officer, Peters started on patrol in South Los Angeles. “I love put-ting the bad guys in jail,” he says. He had a passion for narcotics enforcement and asked the senior officers how he could be part of the “Major Violators” section of the narcotics units that work the big cases. They told him to become a detec-tive and that’s exactly what he did. “That was my career path,” he says.

Changes aren’t always welcomed but

occasionally there is a positive outcome. It was at this time that former Chief Ber-nard Parks decided it would be a good idea to rotate detectives out of specialized units after one year as part of their train-ing. Peters was in the first group of detec-tives under the implementation. “I got to my dream job in narcotics and I was ro-tated out,” he recalled.

The next assignment was at the West Valley division working domestic vio-lence cases. “This was nothing I had ever anticipated doing,” he says. But, he said he learned an incredible amount and real-ly appreciated the experience. He then worked robbery cases where, again, he learned a lot from senior investigators.

Whereas at one time, Peters would have been happy staying in narcotics for his LAPD career, the experiences and op-portunities afforded to him by moving from one unit to another opened up other avenues. Peters recalled how he took the sergeant’s exam after seeing a bulletin. “I had done the detective’s exam and a lot of the stuff was the same,” he said. “I fig-ured, what the heck.”

Peters made sergeant and was trans-ferred to the Rampart division. He then went to Van Nuys division as the officer-in-charge of the North Hills Task Force, Internal Affairs Group, and as the aide to the commanding officer of Advanced Planning Group. In this position, he per-formed a dual role of planning and coor-dinating the department’s hosting of the 2004 International Associate of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference.

For his efforts, he was awarded the Los Angeles Police Commission’s Distin-guished Service Medal and the Los Ange-les County Sheriff’s Department’s Distin-guished Service Medal. Peters concluded his time as a sergeant while assigned to the Firearms Training Unit of Training Division.

Without intentionally doing so, Peters said he prepared himself well for being a lieutenant because he had earned investi-gative experience as a detective and su-pervisory experience as a sergeant, as well as training experience from his time as a police officer in charge of physical

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT CAPT. Jon Peters, the commanding officer of the Pacific division, has served 25 years with the department.

training and self defense instruction at the police academy. As lieutenant, he worked as a watch commander at Devonshire di-vision and at Pacific for a short time.

Peters was then selected to the elite Metropolitan Division where he served as officer-in-charge of the Mounted Platoon and as the assistant officer-in-charge of SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics). He didn’t ride horses when he got the job, but he does now.

“That’s the beauty of that program,” he says. “They take somebody like me that has no clue about a horse and, the pro-gram is so great, that in five weeks you’re up and riding – and pretty confident. Ob-viously, there’s a lot that goes into that,

but, it’s a really good training program. I’m very proud of that program and the work they do.”

He had the unique experience of going through the entire 12-week SWAT train-ing school with new officers who were coming into the unit, including the first woman who ever made it into SWAT.

“The officers are so professional, so committed, so good at what they do,” he says. He also acknowledges that the SWAT perspective has put him in a better position to run incidences, like those in-volving barricaded suspects, that are part of his duties as captain.

Where did Peters go next? Stay tuned for Part II. §

BLAcK HOLe (iNSiDe) is among the Plexiglas drawings by Joanne Lefrak that will be exhibited at the Leslie Sacks Contemporary gallery. The work is part of the Trinity series, named for the New Mexico site where the first atomic bomb test took place in 1945.

The Arena 1 Gallery in Santa Monica will present Infinity+1, part 1, an exhibit of works by art-ists Mitra Fabian, Debra Greene, Robert Strati and Casey Reas, be-ginning Saturday, Jan. 12 and continuing through Feb. 9.

An opening reception is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 12 at the gallery, 3026 Airport Ave., Santa Monica.

The works featured in the show flirt with the idea that infin-ity can be made tangible. Using tools of science like computer software or invented rules that are based on science but are actually fake, the artists employ similar processes of repeated patterns to investigate infinite outcomes, a gallery spokesperson notes.

Curator Christine Duval envi-

sions this as the first of a series that will explore various aspects of infinity.

Fabian works with atypical materials like glass vials, plastic films, tape, various office and sci-entific products. As she builds with these materials she decon-structs and alters them in such a way that they are not immediately recognizable. Their “reconstruc-tion” is determined by what the material is capable of doing, not meant to do, Duval said.

Greene said she has always been interested in subverting ma-terials and their relevance. She approaches each piece with the same rule, but proceeds by slight-ly altering a component in ex-ploring how a repetitive process is subverted to allow for different

outcomes, Duval said.Los Angeles artist Reas has

been writing generative software for artistic purposes since he graduated from MIT in 2001. His prints, often presented as a dip-tych, represent a moment frozen in time which the software will never be able to reproduce as it survives into infinity, Duval said.

Strati said he is motivated by the interactions of art, architec-tural theory, music and science. He draws upon musical notations, engineering schematics, architec-tural plans, alphabets, nodal net-works and maps for inspiration.

Los Angeles-based modern folk artist Dudley Saunders will participate in a tribute concert for veteran American music pro-ducer Ed Tree, “One Degree to Ed Tree,” from 7 to 10 p.m. Sat-urday, Jan. 12 at the Talking Stick Coffee Lounge, 1411 C Lincoln Blvd., Venice.

The concert is in its sixth year of production courtesy of Grass-roots Acoustica and celebrates the work of Tree, known for his work as a musician and producer for award-winning acts like Rita Coolidge, the Spencer Davis Group, and local independents like David Serby.

Saunders recently released his fourth independent record, “Monsters,” which he recorded with Tree at his South Pasadena studio. Frequently compared to Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, Saunders com-bines harshly poetic lyrics with unusually complex folk melo-dies, said event spokesperson Margo Drgos.

“Ed is primarily known for his work in the Americana and the roots world, so when he took on an experimental-alterna-tive folkie like me, he actually ended up handling my notorious-ly ‘weird’ music better than all of my previous uber-hip produc-ers combined,” said Saunders.

The event will feature over a dozen acts, including notables such as Lisa O’Kane, David Serby, Mark Islam, Severin Browne (Jackson Browne’s brother), and percussionist Debra Dobkin (The Eagles, Bonnie Raitt).

The five-year-old songwriter showcase Grassroots Acoustica meets on the second Saturday of every month at the Talking Stick. There is never a cover charge and it operates as a non-profit. The organization has raised over $56,000 in voluntary contribu-tions supporting education, arts, social services, medical research and animal rescue organizations to date, event organizers say.

The Leslie Sacks Contempo-rary gallery in Santa Monica will present Treasure Sites, an exhibi-tion of works by Joanne Lefrak, beginning Saturday, Jan. 12 through Feb. 23.

An opening reception is sched-uled from 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 12 at the Bergamot Station gallery, 2525 Michigan Ave. B6, Santa Monica.

Lefrak, who is based in Santa Fe, NM, creates intricate draw-ings on Plexiglas that when illu-minated, cast shadows onto the wall behind them.

Lefrak’s “plexi-drawings” are rich in detail and borrow much from the school of Photorealism, a gallery spokesperson said. Like photorealists, she starts her pro-cess first by capturing images on her camera and then using the photographs as templates for her drawings.

Her subject matter also merges past with present, and her draw-ings depict locations that have rich histories, the spokesperson said. These locales tell stories about the past, revealing memo-ries, mysteries and myths about a place — an island that harbors the legend of Blackbeard the pirate; a Santa Fe plot of dirt that is re-vered as holy; and a plot of land in New Mexico that marks the site of the first atomic bomb test.

MODERN FOLK ARTIST Dudley Saunders will join over a dozen musical acts in a tribute concert for veteran American music producer Ed Tree at the Talking Stick Coffee Lounge in Venice Jan. 12.

Black Hole (Inside) is part of Lefrak’s Trinity series, named for the Santa Fe site where the first atomic bomb test took place on July 16, 1945. The work depicts the eerie image of a surplus store in Los Alamos, where objects used in the making of the atomic bomb are sold, said the gallery spokesperson.

Arena 1 Gallery to exhibit works exploring concept of infinity

The main gallery at Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Moni-ca will display paintings by Santa Monica artist Marianne R.K., also known as Marika, beginning Sat-urday, Jan. 12 through March 24.

An opening reception is sched-uled from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Jan. 12 at Edgemar, 2437 Main St., Santa Monica.

Works displayed will be acrylic on canvas, with subjects including abstracts, landscapes, flowers and

figurative pieces. Each of the paintings display a strong sense of color, a gallery spokesperson notes.

A longtime Santa Monica resi-dent, Marika was born in Buda-pest, Hungary and later lived in Paris. Marika, who attended Mon-treal School of Fine Arts, has had her works shown in Montreal and Los Angeles. She is the author of a memoir, “All the Pretty Shoes.”

“For the past many years, I ex-

perimented with different medi-ums such as oil, water and acryl-ic,” she said.

“Today, I use mainly acrylic, although at times I experimented with mirrors and impasto. I find there are a few things in life I could not live without: music, col-ors and shapes. I am grateful that I can create images that come straight from within my soul.”

FOOD&DRINKOcean, garden and Japanese technique

By Richard [email protected]

Ninjin 607 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica.

310.451.9800.

The namesake ninjin roll at Ninjin restaurant in Santa Monica is served with tuna, salmon, yellowtail tuna, crab and avocado, with a dab of sweet eel sauce on the side.

As a general rule, if a restaurant has an item in its name, I order it. If a place is called Joe’s Pizza, Howie’s Rib Joint, or the like, I have a good idea about what the chef thinks is the best item in the house.

I wasn’t able to use that strate-gy at Ninjin in Santa Monica, be-cause “ninjin” means carrot in Japanese – and the only carrot I saw while I was there was a few shreds on the side of a plate. When I asked why the restaurant was named after something they don’t serve, the server smiled and said that the owner’s wife likes carrots.

The name does make a little sense in an oblique fashion, since the flavors of seafood are modi-fied with simple natural flavors from garden and field rather than the baroque sauces that are splashed around at modern sushi bars.

Blowtorches are not wielded ostentatiously here, sriracha and garlic butter are not featured, and at least as much traditional nigiri sushi is served as fancy rolls. It’s sushi without the tricks that can cover mediocre ingredients, and it’s served in a low-key place about the size of an average liv-ing room.

We started with nigiri, the tra-ditional sliced fish on squares of rice, while considering what else we might order. The Spanish mackerel and bigeye tuna were fresh and delicious, and if there was any wasabi under the fish it was the merest hint. The tuna was unadorned, the mackerel had a mild ponzu sauce with a scatter-ing of chopped scallion, and the portions of both fish were perfect – a good mouthful each, so you can enjoy the flavor without being overfilled. (After some re-cent experiences where we were served unwieldy slabs, we both appreciate moderation.)

We continued with rolls – a riceless Jessica roll and the ninjin roll (and yes, I ordered it because it was named after the restaurant, so it had to be something they’re proud of). The ninjin roll turned out to be tuna, salmon, yellowtail tuna, crab and avocado, with just a dab of sweet eel sauce on the side. It was tasty but not daring, which makes it appropriate as a metaphor for the restaurant.

The Jessica roll, made from raw vegetables, tuna, yellowtail,

salmon, and whitefish wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber, was more memorable. It wasn’t technically sushi at all, since that word refers to vinegared rice, but it was a de-licious mélange of fresh flavors, with a seafood and vegetable salad as finger food.

We continued with a daily special – sliced yellowtail in a ponzu marinade with herbs and tiny slices of jalapeno. The jalap-eno had been seeded so it wasn’t fiery, adding as much flavor as heat, and we would order it again in a heartbeat. Even my spice-timid wife was delighted with the touch of heat along with seafood and citrus.

The scallop crunch roll that followed wasn’t quite as success-ful – the flavors of crabmeat, av-ocado and tempura scallop were fine, but the roll had been cov-ered with a vast heap of crispy tempura bits. A few of these would have been a nice texture contrast, but there were too many – this scallop crunch roll was more crunch than scallop.

We paired our meals with two different sakes of the Junmai Gingyo style – Kikusui and Hakushika. Both were dry with flowery overtones, and the two small bottles shared between three people were the perfect amount. The sake menu here is limited but well-chosen and mod-erately priced; those who just enjoy a moderate tipple will find something they like; those seek-ing a sake library can go else-

where.After a few more orders of ni-

giri – octopus, salmon roe with quail egg, and a double order of yellowtail – it was time for the bill. This was $109 for a comfort-ably full dinner for three; a bar-gain by L.A. sushi standards. We left Ninjin with a renewed appre-ciation for the virtues of tradi-tional sushi, a cuisine that is all about pure and natural flavors modified and combined with ex-quisite taste.

Ninjin is at 607 Colorado Ave. in Santa Monica. Open Mo-Thu 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m., Fri 11:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m., Sa noon - 10:30 p.m., Sun 5 - 10 p.m. Small parking lot in rear or street park-ing, wheelchair access OK. §

Do you have any tips for fire prevention in the home?Q:

Prepare your house. When it’s time to make choices about new roofing and siding materi-als, choose fire-resistant building materials such as asphalt-fiberglas or masonry roofing, particularly if you live in a fire-prone area. Unless properly treated with fire retardant, wood shingles and shakes are a clear invita-tion to disaster and are outlawed in many communities. Clean leaves and debris from rain gutters and trim off dead branches that overhang your roof, chimney and power lines. Be sure your chimney is equipped with a spark arrestor. Wood decks can also be problematic because they offer a source of fuel with plenty of air circulation, which makes them burn all the better. Be sure to keep dry vegetation and trees trimmed away from decks. Also beware of where you posi-tion a barbecue- don’t put it on a wood deck, beneath a patio overhead, or near flammable vegetation. Prepare your family. Though the possibili-ties of a fire in or around your home can be a scary thought, developing strategies for your family to follow in the event of a fire emergency isn’t just smart, it’s critical. Fire is one of the most immediately devastating home disasters. Begin by taking these steps: be sure each room has at least two exits that can serve as fire escapes. If one of these is an upper-story window, provide a hook-on fire escape ladder (available at home improve-ment centers). Be sure that even children know how to attach and climb down these ladders, and keep the ladder in an easily accessible place (of course, make sure they are not used unless there is a fire). Develop an escape plan and practice it with a family drill. Everyone should know how to get out of the house and where to assemble safely outdoors. Establish who will

be responsible for small children, the elderly or handicapped. Check smoke detectors peri-odically to be sure they’re working properly. Fire departments recommend changing bat-teries twice a year – when you change your clocks to and from daylight saving time. Be sure that your house numbers can be easily seen at night from the street. Safe electrical practices. Minimize out-let extenders or plug-in power bars; these can overload an electrical circuit. Repair or replace worn, frayed, or broken electrical cords. Use only extension cords that match (or have a larger capacity than) the wattage of the appliances that you plug into them. Make sure your receptacles and appliances are properly grounded. Check the maximum size of bulb allowable for lighting fixtures, and don’t exceed the maximum wattage. Be especially careful not to use improperly-sized bulbs in recessed lighting fixtures because of heat buildup. Never replace a blown fuse with an improperly-sized substitute. Keep two fire extinguishers in your home, one in the kitchen area or service porch, and one in the garage, located in clear view near the exit. Fire extinguishers are coded according to the types of fires they can extinguish. An “A-B-C” multi-purpose extinguisher puts out all common types of fires. Be sure your extinguishers are large enough to handle home fires. The minimum size to have on hand is a classified “2A10BC” on the label. Periodically check your extinguishers to be sure they are fully charged; this is usually just a matter of looking at a small gauge mounted on top of the unit.

Life Beyond 50By helga Gendell

Monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for nearly 62 mil-lion Americans will increase 1.7 percent in 2013. The 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits that more than 56 million Social Security beneficiaries receive in January. Increased payments to more than eight million SSI beneficiaries began on Dec. 31.

According to the Social Securi-ty Administration, the purpose of the COLA is to ensure that the purchasing power of Social Secu-rity and SSI benefits is not eroded by inflation. It is based on the per-centage increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earn-ers and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) from the third quarter of the last year that a COLA was determined to the third quarter of the current year. If there is no increase, there can’t be a COLA.

On Dec. 6, Michael Astrue, commissioner of Social Security, announced that 35 additional com-passionate allowance conditions are in effect, bringing the total number of conditions in the expe-dited disability process to 200. Compassionate allowances are a way to quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that, by definition, meet Social Securi-

ty’s standards for disability bene-fits.

The program fast-tracks dis-ability decisions to ensure that Americans with the most serious disabilities receive their benefit decisions within days instead of months or years. These conditions primarily include certain cancers, adult brain disorders, and a num-ber of rare disorders that affect children, said Astrue.

“We have achieved another milestone for the compassionate allowances program, reaching 200 conditions,” Astrue said. “Nearly 200,000 people with severe dis-abilities nationwide have been

quickly approved, usually in less than two weeks, through the pro-gram since it began in October 2008.”

By definition, these conditions are so severe that Social Security does not need to fully develop the applicant’s work history to make a decision. As a result, Social Secu-rity eliminated this part of the ap-plication process for people who have a condition on the list, ac-cording to the Social Security website.

For information and a complete list of conditions, www.socialsecu-rity.gov/compassionateallowances.

AcupuNcTuREThe city of Santa Monica will host three Martin Luther King, Jr. Day events Jan. 18-20 to commemorate the life of the slain civil rights leader.

A fire that broke out at a Del Rey home Dec. 27 left one man with critical injuries, Los Angeles fire officials said.

A woman was also hospitalized in fair condition due to the fire, which was re-ported at 5:32 p.m. at a one-story resi-dence at 12418 Verdi St., west of Centi-nela Avenue in Del Rey, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said. The exact ages of the victims were unknown but they were described as older adults, he said.

Twenty-seven LAFD firefighters were called to the home, where first-arriving units saw “heavy smoke” coming from

the rear of the structure, Humphrey said.Firefighters were able to contain the

flames to the structure and extinguished the blaze in 14 minutes, Humphrey said.

The man was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, while the woman was in fair condition when taken to a local hospital, he said. No other inju-ries were reported.

Firefighters told some news stations that they were unable to locate any smoke detectors in the home.

The cause of the fire and estimated damage were under investigation.

The Los Angeles Planning Department will host a community meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8 at the Proud Bird Restaurant in Westchester regarding a proposal to move the northernmost run-way at Los Angeles International Airport. An open house is scheduled from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Los Angeles World Airports staff have recommended moving the runway 260 feet north, which various entities, includ-ing the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa’s Airport Relations Committee, oppose.

Some residents argue that this proposal will increase noise, air pollution and traf-fic along Lincoln Boulevard.

Airport officials counter that the move will allow them to enhance safety on the airfields as well as accommodate some of the larger aircraft at LAX, which are ar-riving with increased frequency.

The newly refurbished Tom Bradley International Terminal, which is slated to partially open this summer, will have larger terminals to house these larger air-craft, such as the Airbus A-380.

Those who oppose the move north, in-cluding a large number of Westchester and Playa del Rey residents, have offered a counter proposal that they say will do everything that LAWA wants without moving the runway closer to their homes.

City staff will be available to present proposed changes and answer related questions at the open house. The public hearing will be conducted by a hearing officer, who will consider all public testi-mony and any written communication re-ceived prior to or at the hearing. A written recommendation report will subsequently be prepared by the Department of City Planning for consideration by the city Planning Commission and then by the City Council and the mayor.

Written communication may be e-mailed or mailed to Shawn Kuk, Depart-ment of City Planning, 200 N. Spring St., Room 667, Los Angeles, CA 90012; e-mail, [email protected].

Information,www.lawa.org/laxspas.

The Proud Bird Restaurant is at 11022 Aviation Blvd., Westchester.

Two local nonprofit orga-nizations dedicated to serv-ing the most vulnerable in the community have each received $35,000 in funding from Los Angeles Council-man Bill Rosendahl’s office.

Rosendahl presented ca-shiers checks Dec. 23 to New Directions and Safe Place for Youth that were provided through funds that remained from his former re-election campaign. The councilman, who is battling cancer, has decided not to run in this year’s municipal election and announced his retirement at the end of his term on June 30.

At the conclusion of his campaign, Rosendahl’s ac-count contained $70,000 in donations. State law allows candidates to donate re-maining campaign funds to charity.

Rosendahl said he chose to contribute to the two organizations because of their work to improve the quality of life of re-turning veterans and address homeless-ness in the city – issues in which he has experience.

New Directions provides services, sup-port and transitional housing to homeless veterans in Los Angeles County. The or-ganization is currently working on a local project that will house returning vets from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

“Bill has helped us every step of the

way with our veterans,” said Keith Jef-freys, who accepted the check on behalf of New Directions. “We just couldn’t be more proud of our affiliation with Bill and everything we’ve been able to do with him over the years.”

Safe Place for Youth assists homeless youth under the age of 25 and operates a drop-in center in Venice. Rosendahl was one of the early supporters of the organi-zation, a spokesperson noted.

“This check will enable us to expand even more on the services that we already provide,” said Alison Hurst, executive di-rector of Safe Place for Youth. “The money is just a fantastic gift from Bill.”

REPRESENTATIVES from New Directions and Safe Place for Youth were each presented with a $35,000 check from Los Angeles Councilman bill Rosendahl (center), provided with funds from his former re-election campaign.
