Rancho Palos Verdes electronic artist and
producer starRo earns a Grammy nod just
five years after abandoning music
by Esther Kang
Shinya “Straight Arrow” Mizoguchi, better known as starRo, is rising up the musical
ranks with his heartfelt concoctions of soul, R&B, jazz and electronica. In five years’
time, the Tokyo-native multi-instrumentalist has gone from an unknown bedroom producer
with a day job as a project manager for a Torrance tech company to becoming the
first Japanese electronic artist to be nominated for a Grammy. Touring internationally and
shooting commercials for Beats by Dre are some of the itinerary items that comprise his
new normal.
Still, the 41-year-old father of three stays grounded. Mizoguchi, who with his family has
lived in Rancho Palos Verdes for five years, recently DJ’ed at the Palos Verdes Education
Foundation’s annual fundraiser, where one of the main auction items was a private party
with Mizoguchi as the DJ. His two sons are first and fifth graders at Point Vicente Elementary
School; his daughter is a preschooler at St. Peter’s by the Sea.
Until about a month ago, Mizoguchi, who last fall released his first full-length album
Monday, was working out of his home studio. Now with a new ground zero in LA’s arts
district, he finds himself appreciating the peaceful nature of Palos Verdes.
“The school system is obviously the biggest thing, but I find myself really enjoying life
here now,” Mizoguchi said. “When you play at the club and go back late at night tired, the
next morning you wake up and see a completely different nature explosion. That’s really
cool. I really enjoy this contrast of life right now."
Raised in Tokyo, Mizoguchi grew up in a musical environment, inundated with jazz
records and the sounds of his father, a “semi-professional” jazz pianist, performing at home.

At 7, Mizoguchi began taking piano lessons — by his own
volition, not his parents’, he noted — but by middle
school, he had lost interest in classical music. With leanings
toward top 40, rock and dance music, he began
teaching himself other instruments and formed a band
with friends from school. They mostly covered their favorite
rock bands, from Japan and abroad.
When they began composing original music, Mizoguchi
took it upon himself to make a demo for the band. That
was his first exposure to creating music on a computer,
he said.
“I pretty much played every part — bass, drums, guitar
and a little vocal — and that was the beginning of my
track making,” he said. “I realized I enjoyed making the
demo more than being in a band, so I started being more
of a producer. I did that for a while, just as a hobby and
maybe to show some of my friends."
For many years, he worked brutal hours as a manager
at a tech company, which left little time for a life outside
of work. About 10 years ago, he and his wife decided to
leave Tokyo’s workaholic culture in search of a more balanced
life. After a weeklong visit to LA, they knew they
had found their new home.
“It seemed like this is a chill, laid-back place, and people
seemed to enjoy their lives more,” Mizoguchi said.
“We didn’t really expect anything; we basically just tried
to change our lifestyle.”
Mizoguchi had no intention of pursuing a music career
28 Peninsula • June 2017
in LA, he said. He was unfamiliar with the music
scene and had sold all his gear back in Tokyo. For
three to four years, he worked his job at a tech company
in Torrance, striving to build a new foundation
for him and his family. Not knowing a single person
in the new city, he never went out to explore the clubbing
or live music scene, he said.
“We pretty much started from ground zero,” he said.
“Music was not even a priority back then.”
It wasn’t until a friend from Tokyo came to visit that
Mizoguchi had a proper night out. His friend, curious
about LA’s clubbing scene, urged him to find a spot
for them, so he went online and discovered Low End
Theory, LA’s seminal weekly event featuring up-andcoming
beat makers. As a big fan of A Tribe Called
Quest, Mizoguchi said he had initially thought it
would be a hip hop event (Low End Theory is the name
of the hip hop group’s most famous album). His life,
he said confidently, changed for good that night.
“It was experimental and also mind-blowing,” he
said. “Mind-blowing in the way that I’d never heard
any music like that, and I’d never seen a producer, a
trackmaker like myself, get on the stage under a spotlight
… Usually to me, the artist has always been like
the singer or rapper, but there I realized that even producers
can be an artist.”
Newly inspired, Mizoguchi began producing music
again and sharing his tracks with the burgeoning online
community of Soundcloud. There, he made hundreds
of new friends — fellow beatmakers and
producers — and began accruing tens of thousands of
plays with his fresh take on soul-based electronica and
tasteful remixes. In 2013, he was discovered and
signed by Soulection, the famous LA-based online
radio station and label for inventive producers such as
himself. The rest, he said, is history. Tours, festivals
and numerous musical collaborations have followed.
He has since performed at Low End
Theory three times, marking a full circle.
“That was my dream, my original
dream,” he said.
Last year, he was approached to remix
an a cappella song called “Heavy Star
Movin” by The Silver Lake Chorus. Having
heard that many producers gave up on
the difficult endeavor, Mizoguchi said he
gave it his full effort. To his surprise, his beautiful
remix garnered him a Grammy nomination
this past February. His stardom has since
been in full swing, particularly in his home
country of Japan.
“I didn’t realize that it was such a big deal
in Japan,” he said. “So it’s kind of strange to
see myself in major newspapers in Japan. A
lot of my old friends didn’t even know I had
quit my day job and was making music.”
Today, Mizoguchi is regularly on the
road, performing across the U.S. and
abroad. He returns to Tokyo to perform
once a month and has no plans to slow
down anytime soon, he said. His next
album is due out in the fall. PEN

An emerging generation of talented young surfers is riding high on Peninsula High’s surf team
by Ed Solt
John “Doc” Ball founded the Palos Verdes Surf Club in 1935, laying
the foundation for the surfing lifestyle and making Palos
Verdes a hotbed for surf culture. Ball documented early California
surf history in his book,“California Lifestyle,” published in
1946. His photos beautifully capture the easygoing lifestyle of the
burgeoning surf scene, prewar surfers enjoying Waikiki-esque
waves, oftentimes sharing waves.
More recently, even as the Palos Verdes has attracted unwanted
national attention for surf localism, a less noted undercurrent has
emerged — a new generation tapped into the stoke of Ball’s original
surf gang, a stoke that’s leading these young surfers to do great
things in all areas of their lives.
Peninsula High’s surf team is an original member of the South
Bay Scholastic Surfing Association (formerly known as the South
Bay High School Surf League), founded 25 years ago. Notable
alumni include Holly Beck, a professional surfer who paved the way
for women surfers in the 2000s; Chris Del Moro, who found success
as a professional lifestyle surfer (sans contests) and eco-friendly entrepreneur;
former professional longboarder and local restaurateur
Chris Bredesen; his brother, big wave rider and LA County Lifeguard
Scotty Bredesen; and professional surfer Alex Gray.
Gray found a place in Hawaii’s notoriously difficult North Shore
line-ups, charging mountainous waves while performing small wave
acrobatics, all the while showing a keen understanding of the inner
limits of a tube. In addition to his surfing accolades (he’s been fea-

tured on surf magazine covers and in surf movies for almost 20 years),
Gray’s entertaining personality has made him a spokesman for the sport.
He’s hosted numerous surfing events, including the prestigious Surfer Magazine
“Surfer Poll” awards.
In the midst of his jet-setter, surf lifestyle (one that’s taken him to far
flung places such as Alaska’s outer islands), Gray makes time to work with
his former surf team.
“I'm always so excited watching the surf team kids compete,” Gray wrote
in an email from Fiji. “Whether they win or lose, it's great seeing them
face their nerves and fearful emotions through surfing. We all go through
so many life moments as teenagers. It's a time when many emotions are
foreign and hard to understand. That's where surfing really shines. It can
be a vessel of self-confidence, helping you to achieve things you never
dreamed of.”
Peninsula freshmen Colin Macleod has only been surfing for two years,
but he’s rapidly progressing on his Dennis Jarvis-shaped Spyder surfboards.
Junior Isabel Frandsen has perfected a distinctive style on her Chris Ruddy
Surfboards noserider and 5-foot-5 mini shred sled. Senior Cole Yoshida is
a multi-discipline surfer, shredding with either a Lost, Pyzel, or Roberts
under his feet. On the longer end of the spectrum, he perches on the nose
on either his Kris Hall-shaped Flower Surfboard or his Swift, shaped by
the late Don Swift.
“I first met Alex at a rally he was leading for a PV Skate Park at City
Hall,” Frandsen said. “I was so stoked to meet my first pro surfer.” (Gray
was instrumental in establishing PV’s first skatepark — in a community
where skateboarding had been banned since the ‘70s).
These kids do not possess one ounce of the slacker-stoney-stereotype of
Sean Penn’s character “Spicoli,” from the early ‘80s teen comedy “Fast
Times at Ridgemont High.” To be a part of the surf team one must possess
commitment.
“Surf class begins at sunrise. Having the discipline to be up at dark and
in the cold, equipment ready, with a good attitude is something the coach
expects,” Gray said. “The surf team allows for a positive, healthy outlet. I
want to pass on the fun of surfing and its benefits to help guide you through
life. For some it's competitive, and for others it's a hobby. Either way, we
are lucky as surfers to have the ocean as our teacher. I hope each student
allows surfing to be a teacher for all aspects in life.”
Macleod is known as the most surf-fevered of the bunch, winning his
team’s “Most Dedicated Surfer” award.
“It’s all about getting in the water every day and having fun,” he said.
“Even if it’s onshore and small, make the best of the situation. It’s part of
my daily routine. It wakes me up for school.”
Macleod has perfect school attendance. For Yoshida, the discipline
needed for surf team is applied to other sports, particularly his golf game.
He’ll be heading to University of Hawai'i at Manoa on a golfing scholarship.
“Waking up early to go surf and catch a few waves in the morning has
influenced my golf greatly because it has trained me to get up every morning
before six, and it’s helped when you have an early tee time and you
have to get there even earlier to warm up,” Yoshida said. “It just makes it
a lot easier because it feels like second nature. It even helps if you have a
later tee time because waking up early gives you time to have a proper diet
for a full day of golf and it gives you time to get a little more warmed up
before even getting to the course.”
For Frandsen, surf team is just a part of her morning routine, something
that defines her as a person. She’s up at 5:15 a.m. and out the door to attend
a 5:45 a.m. daily seminar at her church. After church, she returns
home to wake up her younger sister to get her ready for her church semi-

nar at 6:30 a.m.
“My sister needs a little more sleep,” she said, with a laugh. “I have a
real structured morning. I also make sure I have on a good watch. From
6:45 a.m. until 8 a.m., I’m surfing. It’s my morning reflection and meditation
time.”
As Gray noted, surfing is a guiding light that helps some kids navigate
the turbulent waters of adolescence.
“Being a part of the surf team gave me a sense of purpose,” Gray said. “I
dealt with a lot during high school. I can say I was lost at times on the
early path of life. But the surf team was always there for me. It was something
that made me strive to be a better student and surfer. I really enjoyed
the feeling of pride for our team that we collectively instilled and acted
upon together.”
In addition to pushing each other out in the water, the team prides itself
on killing it in school. The team possesses
one of the highest collective team GPAs of
all Peninsula’s sport teams. Macleod considers
homework a breeze compared to “jumping
into the chill of morning surf.” Yoshida
is not affected by “senioritis.” For his last semester,
AP Psychology, Marine Biology Honors
Calculus, and English 4 fill his schedule.
Frandsen is planning to attend BYU Hawaii.
“Surfing has taught me to push beyond
your comfort zone, to paddle out and go
big,” she said. “When it came to choosing
classes, I took harder subjects — they have
become my favorite classes. As my coaches
Bryan Hemlrich, Bill Macleod, and Alex say,
‘Always look two seconds ahead on a wave.’
It’s another aspect of surfing I apply to life.”
She also volunteers with organizations
such as Walk on Water, which provides
ocean therapy for special needs children.
“My first time as an instructor, I took a kid
out for his first time on a surfboard and he
pearled hard after I pushed him into a
wave,” she said. “When he came up, he was
frowning, about to cry, then began laughing.
I knew from there I wanted to get into occupational
therapy, helping young kids with
special needs. Much like ocean therapy is to
a special needs child, I want to make the
world a little better with one little push.”
34
In his senior year, Gray was named “Athlete of the Year.” It was the first
time the award went to a surfer.
“That award is something I hold high in my surfing accomplishments.
As the captain of the team, I truly felt a responsibility to do all I could to
get our team to the top. Some of my dearest memories are with my brother
surfing early mornings,” Gray said (Gray lost his brother at the age of 21).
“He would drive me to each practice. I got to hang out with the older guys
who were my heroes because I was with my brother. Having him to push
me in the surf was the most influential aspect I had. I still find myself
thanking him for those moments.”
With three years to go, Macleod is just generally stoked to be on the
team.
“Banquets, contests, meets — it’s all fun,” he said. “I’ve been on club
soccer teams; everybody is in pursuit of individual glory. In surf team, it’s
all about the team — which is weird because field sports are considered
team sports and surfing is an individual sport, yet we’re all supportive. My
goal is to improve and be able to compete with South, Palos Verdes High,
and Costa.”
Yoshida considers competing in the state competitions at Oceanside his
fondest surf team memory.
“I spent a few days down there with Coach and some of my close friends
on the team,” he said. “It was a great opportunity to surf against a very
competitive field of surfers.”
You can find Frandsen continually sharing stoke. She’s on the hunt for
new recruits and recently organized a booth for an eighth grade open
house.
“We spread out surf photos all across a table from the fun times from
surf team this year,” she said. “There were lots of kids interested, and parents
— some of the parents were like ‘I want to join the surf team.’”
“I've never cared too much about someone's surf ability,” Gray said. “I'm
more concerned with how they represent the sport, the community, and
themselves. Their great attitudes are a direct reflection on the coaches and
parents. It's easy to see how passionate they are, and very fun watching it
shine while they compete on the team. At the end of the day, it's about
having fun and helping others along the way as a team. The kids are doing
a great job representing that.” PEN

We won’t charge you, but by the time you’re done reading this article
you’ll be on your way to becoming the best-dressed person
on your block, and maybe in all of the South Bay, who knows.
Last month New York-based Tziporah Salamon presented a two-hour
show and tell at the Palos Verdes Art Center about her newly-released
book, “The Art of Dressing,” subtitled “Ageless, Timeless, Original Style.”
The key word here, I think, is style, and although the book contains 150
color photographs “style” remains an intangible. Even so, with enough
learning and exposure we’ll know it when we see it.
“It’s the image that leaves an indelible mark on the viewer, forever,” Salamon
writes. “It requires discipline, study, and attention… Style does not
just happen; it needs to be cultivated, chiseled, refined.”
I dress, therefore I am
People Salamon encounters often ask what she does, and while at the
beginning she might have replied that she was a hostess, a cashier, a salesgirl,
and so forth, she soon discovered the proper response: “I dress.”
“When I am assembling an outfit, “she writes, “I think of the total look…
Dressing is an artistic endeavor with you as the painter, your body as the
canvas, the various components of your outfit as the paints, and your eyes
as the brush.” Or, as she tells me over the telephone from New York: “I
don’t have to invite you to my studio to show you my paintings. You get to
see my paintings every day on my body.”
Know your body and its proportions, height, width, etc., and thus which
colors and what shapes work best with it, she advised. Within your budget,
of course, invest in staples, but remember it’s quality over quantity. Choose
the classic over the trendy because
fashion is here and gone
Tziporah Salamon
and the
“The Art of Dressing”
at the PV Art Center
but style endures. Lastly, don’t
underestimate the importance of
a good seamstress and tailor.
“No matter what,” Salamon
writes, “always dress as well as
you can, and in a becoming and
thought-out outfit.”
Repairing a broken heart
How a person gets to where
they are from where they started
can often be circuitous or labyrinthine. Both words apply to Tziporah Salamon,
the child of Hungarian Jews who survived the Holocaust and relocated
to Israel in the early 1950s. Papa was a tailor and mama a dressmaker.
Despite empty pockets, despite dusty roads and few amenities, people
dressed well, even elegantly (in style, Salamon says, “Budapest was considered
a rival to Paris”). If there was poverty, there was also a solid sense
of community. Besides, much more than in most places, they were all in
this together.
Her father’s tailoring shop was Salamon’s “Magic kingdom,” until 1959,
when she was nine, and the family moved from Israel to Brooklyn. Culture
shock hardly describes it: Salamon’s first impression of New York was that
the sun never shone there. Figuratively, it wouldn’t shine until many years
later. At the age of 12, she changed her name to “Lynn” because no one
had ever heard of “Tziporah” ( a Biblical Hebrew name; “tzippor” means
bird) and naturally the “Tz” threw everyone off.
For all that, Salamon was a bright young lady, and she enrolled at the
University of Buffalo. However, she decided to spend her junior year overseas,
back in Israel. A decade had passed, but embedded in her mind was
a picture of Israel as (in my words) a cross between the Emerald City of
Oz and one of those magical paintings by Marc Chagall.
“I told my parents I was going back to study,” she says over the phone,
“but I told all my friends that I wasn’t going to come back, that I was hoping
to meet an Israeli and settle down and marry and raise my kids there.
“What happened was,” she continues, “everything I hated about America
in 1959 when we moved here was now in Israel. The first thing my relatives
wanted to do was show me the skyscrapers and the supermarkets.”
“We were no longer dancing in the streets,” she says. “We were now
dancing in discotheques.
“The first time my heart was broken [was when] we left Israel and came
to America. America was the enemy when we got here. And now [I’ve
gone] back to Israel to live happily ever after and America is now in Israel.
The wound of the nine-year-old girl opened up all over again. I was just
devastated. There was no home.”
Back in the U.S., Salamon graduated with a degree in English literature,
attended UC Santa Barbara, where she earned a Masters in Education, and
then headed up to Berkeley to pursue a Ph.D. in psychology, with the goal
of becoming a therapist. In the eleventh hour, however, she decided to
move back to New York, hoping for a career in fashion. A photo of Nancy
Cunard (think of the shipping line) convinced her to cut her hair, and she
immersed herself in the world of designer Coco Chanel, “Vogue” editorin-chief
Diana Vreeland, and others. She embarked upon a string of jobs
and at the same time asked herself what precisely she was hoping to become.
A stylist? No. A designer? No. A buyer? No. A fashion consultant?
Well, that was a possibility. While working as a hat- and coat-check girl at
a new restaurant she started wearing a different hat for each day (currently,
she has about 300).
Serious, and fun
Not a hard and fast rule, I imagine, but for the most part Salamon seems
to dress from the top down. She first selects a hat (“Hats are the exclamation
point. The perfect finishing touch to any outfit.”), and then, in roughly
this order, a blouse, pants, earrings, shoes, handbag, shawl, coat. She em-

phasizes good, and comfortable shoes; suggests mixing costly jewelry with
costume jewelry, and advises that one should “always wear earrings as they
frame the face.” An outfit can produce a different effect by merely changing
the buttons. Her choice of bright red lipstick is certainly a strong accent,
although I did notice that fingernail polish makes only an occasional appearance.
At the PV Art Center, Salamon presented a chronological walk-through
of how she’s dressed over the years, and how it’s changed as she’s gone
from her 30s to her 40s, her 50s and now 60s. “What I want to wear now,”
she tells me, “is very different than what I wanted to wear in my 30s. I
talk about the evolution of a woman aging as well, and its impact upon us
and our choices.”
She points out that the key chapter in “The Art of Dressing” is called
“The Keeper of the Cloth.” It explains, within a religious context to some
degree, why she does what she does: “I take the role of dressing, and my
being a dresser, very seriously… I really do see it as a calling.”
Number one, though, she dresses well to bring delight to herself. But
there’s more to it than that, of course:
“I think what I do is I give women permission to dress again, to play in
their closets,” Salamon says. “I give them permission, I free them, and I
entice them to do it. They look at me and they say, ‘Wait a minute, you’re
having such fun with clothes. I want it too; I want to have fun with clothes.’
If that’s what I’ve done, and in my way leave the world a more beautiful
place in the way we dress, then I’ve done my job.”

Tantawan Thai’s servings and server lift spirits
by Richard Foss
Idon’t always comment about the restaurant service, even though that
has a lot to do with the quality of the dining experience. Once in awhile,
though, it makes or breaks a meal, and that just happened at Tantawan
Thai, a restaurant located in a shopping center near the corner of Silver
Spur.
I was meeting family members for dinner, and one had just had a bad
day at work. Wait, did I say bad? I mean stupendously awful, the kind of
day that can leave you sullen, irritable, and looking for someone to vent
at. Thai food hadn’t been her first choice for the evening, and as she waited
for a menu to be delivered she was an explosion looking to happen.
The person who delivered that menu was a sunny character named Carlos,
who handled a snappish customer with deft diplomacy and wit. When
we asked his opinion of one item that seemed fairly plain, he responded,
“That’s very healthy. You should get something else.” After a few such comments,
the person who was having a bad day was living in the moment
and enjoying the repartee. It was a case of the irresistible charm meeting
the immovable grouch, and it was the grouch that melted.
All this bonhomie would have led to disappointment if the food that Carlos
was recommending hadn’t been up to par, but we were in a good mood
as we awaited our appetizers while sipping a Chainier “1749” Sauvignon
Blanc. Though New Zealand has become famous for this varietal in the
last few years, the French entrants like this one from Bordeaux are worth
exploring. The climate in France is warmer, the soil limestone based rather
than volcanic, even the aging method different, and French Sauvignon
Blancs are more subtle without the pungent grassy overtones. The New
Zealanders are usually suggested with spicy Asian cuisines because the
tropical fruitiness stands up well to spice and vinegar, but we found this
enjoyable both as a sipping wine and with the food. They sell it for only
$20 per bottle, which is a very good price.
Our starters were eggrolls, dumplings called ka-nohm-jeeb, and an order
of crabcakes that were served with a side salad. The dumplings were a
Thai version of Chinese shu mai, ground chicken and shrimp with shiitake
mushroom and water chestnuts steamed inside a thin crepe-like noodle.
Though Thailand doesn’t share a land border with China there has been
trade for centuries, and the culinary influence was clear here, with none
of the heat and ginger that characterizes most Thai food. A thick soy-based
spice sauce was served with it and that added flavor without ratcheting
the heat very high, but these were just fine without it.
I did want a little more zip with the eggrolls, which were a bit on the
bland side and served with a sweet chili sauce. When asked Carlos provided
a trio of sauces with different balances of vinegar and chili. One of
these had chopped red and green peppers in a tart vinegar and was so assertive
that I momentarily lost my ability to speak when I got too much of
it. I kept applying it because it was delicious, but did so more moderately.
The crabcakes were a winner, too, the two large discs of seafood mildly
seasoned and served with some noodles stir-fried with onions and a dipping
sauce of mild red curry. The exterior had the uniform crispness that
suggested it had been egg-dipped before deep frying, which isn’t how I
usually like crabcakes, but it worked and that’s what matters. The red
curry dip was fragrant rather than hot according to the spice wimp at the
table, but we had asked for things to be mild and now know we can give
them a bit more latitude with the seasoning.
We continued with a “tiger salad” which contained no actual large felines,
but was composed of a mix of grilled beef, scallion, onion, lemongrass,
and mint leaves over a bed of green salad. Salads like this aren’t
really Thai because lettuce as we know it doesn’t grow there, but this 1960s
invention by a Thai chef in Los Angeles has gone global. As well it should,
62 Peninsula • June 2017
ecause the combination of spice
and garlic in the meat with a vinegary,
slightly peppery dressing is a
winner.
Our final items were barbecue
garlic pork over vegetables, shrimp
pad Thai, and chicken with spicy
chili and basil. If I had it to do all
over again I might have ordered
something other than the garlic
pork because it was similar to the
garlic beef that had been on the
salad, and I would have liked to try
a wider range of flavors from this
kitchen. The different setting with
cooked vegetables and a side sauce
lent sufficient variety that we
weren’t bored, but I’d still suggest
getting one or the other.
The shrimp pad Thai was standard
but well crafted, the shrimp
briefly grilled rather than steamed
and the vegetables in good balance
with the noodles, peanuts, and
sauce. It wasn’t highly spiced and
as far as I can tell shouldn’t be –
it’s a gentle savory item that is a
delight when done traditionally.
The chicken with chili and basil
was more assertive even though
we had ordered it medium in deference
to the two-heat-averse people
at the table. When made mild
it accents the pungency of Thai
Tantawan Thai manager Miu Sauls
basil, which has a concentrated
herbal flavor that is very different
from the Italian variant. The basil
was accented by chili in the mild
version, but if we had asked them
to kick the seasoning up a few
notches it would have been the
other way around. Either way, it’s
an enjoyable dish and one I would
recommend here.
We were offered the choice of
regular jasmine rice, coconut rice,
or brown rice with each entrée,
and we got one of each. My suggestion
is to do the same, because
the different flavors in each add
shadings to the curries and sauces.
Dinner for four with a bottle of
wine and a beer ran $133 and we
took home enough for a nice lunch
the next day. It was a fair price for
a fine meal in pleasant surroundings,
a showcase for a meal with
character and a server who is one.

HOME SWEET TUSCANY
After starting a family in Japan, the Chapmans returned to Palos Verdes and rebuilt a masterpiece

Larry and Jodie Chapman
never expected that they
would be building a life together
after a blind date set up by
a mutual church friend over 30
years ago.
Larry was late to the performance
of “Pirates of Penzance,”
which was to be their meeting
place for the evening. It was a
show staged at the St. Peter’s Episcopal
Church in San Pedro, where
Jodie volunteered as a youth
leader.
“It was the worst production of

just off of the Palos Verdes Golf Course in the Valmonte neighborhood.
‘Pirates of Penzance,’ ever,” Larry
said.
Jodie was not particularly impressed
with his tardiness. Yet the
two somehow managed to enjoy
the evening together. Following
their courtship, they married on
August 27, 1983, and relocated
soon after to Tokyo to take advantage
of a professional opportunity.
Larry, an electrical engineer, had
joined Hughes Electronics in 1980.
His work in Japan was the result of
a joint venture between Hughes
Electronics and two other companies.
The companies were researching
the technology

surrounding direct broadcast satellites at the
time, which eventually became DirecTV. Larry
was one of DirecTV’s original Chief Operating
Officers, in charge of the company’s Latin
America division.
The Chapmans’ first child, Alexis, was born
in Japan and spent her first four years there. She
was an anomaly in Eastern Asia.
“People couldn’t get over her looks,” Jodie remembered.
“They would bring over gifts just to
be afforded the opportunity to see her up close
and were fascinated by her non-Asian appearance.
It was quite an experience for her to undergo
all the extraordinary attention and
popularity bestowed upon her at such an early
age.”
The family thoroughly enjoyed living in
Tokyo and brought Japanese style, along with a
sense of adventure, to the homestead they’d
eventually establish in Palos Verdes. The family's
sojourn to Japan ended in 1989 and they
moved back to the States and settled in San
Pedro in time for the arrival of their second
child, Wesley that same year. Jodie, a Palos
Verdes High School alumna, had never anticipated
moving back to her hometown to raise a
family as a full time mother.
But the family became smitten with a house
in the Valmonte neighborhood of Palos Verdes
Estates. They purchased it in 1996.
“We saw the potential here to really make it
our own,” Jodie said. “I had a book of ideas and
I would go through it excitedly searching for
the just the right place to [apply] our future
home ideas.”
And what a playground this home proved to
be for architectural detail, ingenuity and luxury.
Originally built in 1938 and designed and engineered
by H. H. Lochridge — the same architect
who designed the City Hall building in
The water slide leads to a sparkling pool and spa area
with artificial grass and a courtyard lined with trellises
filled with spring’s abundant flowers.
Long Beach — this Tuscan-style refuge
served as the foundation for the family’s
future ideal home. In 1997, they hired the
prominent Torrance-based architect, Edward
Carson Beall, to engage in an ambitious
remodel.
“It was a two year endeavor,” Larry said.
“We covered lots of ground.”
He recalled how the couple saw an advertisement
for vintage flooring that took
them out to Vista, California, one of many
uniquely sourced materials for the home’s
reimagining.
“The wood plank reclaimed flooring is
eucalyptus sourced from a Tasmanian
sheep shearing factory,” Larry said. “We
had it hand-scraped, and even though it
was glued down flooring, it still retains the
original nail holes from its past life.”
The family went to great lengths to stay
true to the home’s character. The stairwell
by the entrance is the original from the
1930s. It’s made of magnesite, a type of oldworld
style poured cement comprised of a
mixture of calcined magnesite, magnesium
chloride and various fillers including wood
flour or sawdust.
“There were five layers of paint masking
the magnesite,” Larry said, noting it was
all removed to expose the stairwell’s natural
egg-shell color composition. Larry recalled
that when they went to build the
back staircase during the remodel, they
could only find one purveyor of this material,
Rizo’s, in Los Angeles.
The house sits high above the street,
meeting its towering eucalyptus trees eyeto-eye.
The steps leading up to the front
door are winding and alluring, with the floral
and herbaceous scents of nature wafting

Timeless

Centuries ago when the world’s finest clockmakers were
hard at work, their aim was to create a mechanical marvel
that operates continuously and last forever. Imagine
a hand made complex mechanism of inter-working parts designed
to keep time accurately. Your clock is a work of art and
your job is to keep this timeless treasure healthy for the next
generation.
Your clock reminds you of its presence every time you wind
it. If the accuracy of the clock is not what it used to be, or the
chimes are not as strong or rhythmic, or maybe it just stops;
that means your clock is talking to you and telling you that its
endless life is in jeopardy.
It is imperative to maintain and service your clock regularly.
Oil gets old and dry forcing the train of gears to work twice as
hard to accomplish their goal. This results in damage that drastically
shortens the life of a fine timepiece.
Michel Medawar has been extending the lives of timepieces
for over Sixty years as his father did Sixty years before. He is
the inventor of the first talking clock in the world. He is a graduate
from Patek Philippe in Geneva, Switzerland, The Theod
Wagner Clock Co. in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the Howard
Miller Clock Co. in Zeeland, Michigan. Call him so that he may
come to your home and offer you a free estimate for servicing
your clock. Or bring your wall or mantel clock to our store to

as one ascends. The front door, from Arte de Mexico, is heavily built with
hand-carved paneling originally towering 12 feet tall. The door had to be
taken down a few feet to fit the frame, so the extra panels were crafted
and embedded into a wood lattice succulent planter outside creatively concealing
waste bins.
When the front door opens you are greeted by the Chapmans and their
friendly small schnauzers, Sebastian and Sola. Your second vision is of the
inviting kitchen, designed partly by Cooper Pacific Kitchens in Los Angeles.
The kitchen cleverly features Old World accessories. The Sub-Zero refrigerator
boasts an Arte de Mexico set of ornate handles. A “secret” staircase
takes you underground to a well-equipped butler’s pantry, replete with a
second refrigerator and other useful appointments, including ample storage
cabinetry and workspace countertops. The breakfast area sits by a large
bay window overlooking lush greenery outside. A front deck, visible just
outside the window, offers an expansive view that includes the Palos
Verdes Golf Course, venerable trees and bounding greenery and flowers.
The home has three distinctive fireplaces. The living room, off the kitchen,
has an old world finish, hand-done by well-known South Bay artisan Barbara
Van Groningen in a textured deep merlot hue. Van Groningen’s
artistry is ubiquitous throughout the home, including fleur de lys painted
into the beams, whimsical fairies painted on the floors in the children’s
bathroom and copper etchings of Tuscan villages she freehanded in the
laundryroom. Some Asian influence can also be discerned in the largely
The daughter’s whimsical bathroom has a decorative handpainted fairy on

wall. Such features, throughout the
home and its grounds, are both
practical and decorative.
After the couple finished their
home’s two year remodel, Jodie
said they were inspired to find
other projects they could share.
“I was trying to find out what else
we could do together next,” Jodie
said. “Some couples garden together,
bike together or even work
together.”
Jodie’s father, who was a navigator
in the military, instilled in her a
love of flying at an early age. So
Jodie obtained her pilot’s license in
2001 and two years later she convinced
Larry to do the same. They
purchased a Cirrus plane that has
two batteries, two alternators, two
GPS’s, four seats, and its own parachute.
“I feel very safe in this plane,”
Jodie said.
The plane is housed at the Torrance
Airport but will soon be flying
north. The Chapmans have
decided to make a move to Placerville
to be closer to their new
granddaughter, Juniper, who just
turned one. The Chapmans are
once again embarking on a new adventure,
together. PEN
