It was five hours before the Sierra Canyon boys’ basketball team took the floor against Cathedral Catholic and the line in front of the San Diego Montgomery High School gym was hundreds of people long.

It had been like that all week as the Trailblazers, the star-studded No. 1 team in the state, played three games at the San Diego Tip-Off Challenge, with each game sold out.

Sierra Canyon’s opponent Saturday was the consensus No. 1 team in San Diego, and though the Dons might not have had the glitzy names and reputation of the Chatsworth-based powerhouse, they featured a squad that has played together for years and includes multiple future Division I college players.

Cathedral Catholic fed off the energy of the home crowd and opened the game with a 12-0 run over the first four minutes that had the San Diego-heavy crowd cheering at every early bucket, but once Sierra Canyon settled in, it regained control and took its third victory of the year 59-46.

“They were going fast and we thought that was to our benefit,” Trailblazers’ coach Andre Chevalier said. “We picked up our defense and didn’t think they could sustain [that pace], so we were OK with it. The kids are still learning each other and our system, so it was great to see them persevere and get the win.”

Chevalier’s early decision to remain calm paid dividends as Sierra Canyon (3-0) outscored Cathedral Catholic 25-7 over the final 12 minutes of the first half to take a 25-19 into the break.

The Trailblazers’ defense continued to cause problems and turnovers for Cathedral Catholic as Sierra Canyon opened up a 14-point lead, 42-28, with 2:10 left in the third quarter.

The offensive spark in the period was sophomore forward Shy Odom who scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds, three offensive, in the third.

Odom, who transferred in from Chestnut Hill (Mass.) Beaver Country Day School, doesn’t receive the same fanfare as teammates B.J. Boston, Zaire Wade, Terren Frank or Bronny James, but that’s how he likes it.

“I do what it takes for us to get a win at the end of the day,” said Odom, who finished with game-highs in points and rebounds with 20 and 10, respectively. “I’m not really about the flashy stuff.”

There wasn’t a ton of the flashy stuff when it comes to lob dunks or ankle-breaking crossover dribbles as Cathedral Catholic managed to climb back into the game at the end of the third.

Dons’ junior point guard Alex Wade connected on a three-pointer with 15 seconds left in the period, cutting the Trailblazers’ lead to 44-37.

Cathedral Catholic hung tough early in the fourth, as well, when Thomas Notarainni’s corner three-pointer cut the Sierra Canyon lead to 49-42 with 6:11 to play.

Odom again came to the rescue, putting the game on ice with a couple of put-back buckets, both of which resulted in fouls and traditional three-point plays, and the second putting the Trailblazers up 59-44 with 2:14 to play.

Boston, who will head to Kentucky next fall, finished with 12 points, while sophomore guard Amari Bailey had 11 for the Trailblazers.

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we send you a YouTube clip that is guaranteed to make you laugh.

At the recent California Horse Racing Board meeting a bunch of reporters (including me) caught up with Aidan Butler, acting chief executive of California racing for The Stronach Group. Aidan, like all of us, needed a break from the never-ending meeting and we chased him down outside front doors of the Del Mar Hilton. (Note: Aidan stayed until the bitter end of the meeting.)

What we’ve got below is not an exact transcript of the eight-minute mini-news conference with the Santa Anita boss. In some cases, questions have been modified to fit the answer. And the answers are edited for brevity and clarity.

So, here’s what Aidan had to say on some of the most pressing issues.

Reporter: How are you going to make the decision that racing is safe on any given day?

Butler: I’m not prepared to put any more guesswork into this. We’ve got to start getting better as an industry at the actual data we can use. … Let’s base [decisions] on evidence so we know … because the more it’s open to interpretation, you’re in the same position as if you don’t know.

Q: But if jockeys come back after the first race and say it’s not safe is that not an interpretation?

A: That’s a real-life working example. When we’re racing, if anyone mentions it’s unsafe then it’s unsafe. I’m talking about when you have to call these things early before you actually know. When we make these decisions, I want to make sure they are rooted in data and science rather than people’s ideas.

Q: How do you plan to use the 12 flex days where you have to cancel racing?

A: It’s my understanding the 12 flex days are to be used to give us the ability to cancel for any reason, be it inclement weather or horse population. It hasn’t occurred to me to game the situation. If we’re not 100% sure it’s safe for the horses or rider than it’s not even a conversation as far as I’m concerned. I’m always going to err on the side of being overcautious.

Q: Where are you at on making your decision on synthetics?

A: This is a big conversation. There are very few viable synthetic companies in the States. Many have gone by the wayside and some are internationally based. The one that seems to work for us is Tapeta. That’s going to be the benchmark and the conversations around that will be will it work and stand up to climate in Southern California and especially Santa Anita. Dr. Mick Peterson and myself speak on what seems like a daily basis. He’s got some pretty good ideas and pretty good data sets that he believes will be applicable here. And he’ll be able to give much advice to us. My preference is to look at this as an industry group of not just the local guys but as many people as we can across the country.

Q: How much have you done hands-on exploration of Tapeta as an option?

A: Dr. Mick Peterson and Dr. Dionne Benson (chief veterinary officer for The Stronach Group) [and I] went to a Tapeta farm. We feel the latest iterations of Tapeta are far better than in the old versions. As a side note we have a real-world working example of Tapeta at Golden Gate. Everyone is real happy with it from the horsemen to track operations. We’re fairly confident it will be good. But again, I’ve got to make sure whatever we do is done absolutely right. As far as products go, Tapeta is the best one out there.

Q: It has been suggested you could test it by making it the training track?

A: That’s absolutely another option. Where I stand nothing is off the table as far as what corporate says. A lot of people like turf racing in which case a synthetic option could be on the training track or could be on the inside or outside [of the turf curse]. I think it’s a nice complement from the training aspect. I think you all know that synthetic tracks are a better training track for turf. Whatever we decide has to be done the right way. … It’s up to the whole industry to get it right once and for all. … It seems it’s been a little hit or miss, worked well in some places and not so well in others.

Q: But you’ve said Santa Anita is not afraid to go it alone.

A: Absolutely. You use all of the best advice that you can. And all of the best experts that you can. My job is to make sure that whatever we land as the final decision is the best one we can possibly make.

Who goofed, I’ve got to know?

It was me, of course. In Saturday’s newsletter I said that Roadster had run in the Del Mar Debutante. Obviously, I meant the Del Mar Futurity because he is a colt. But you knew that.

Del Mar review

Everyone, including me, was eager to see Roadster, but eager turned to anxious as the once promising colt finished fourth in the four-horse Grade 3 $100,000 Native Dancer Stakes for horses going 1 1/8 miles. The winner, under yet another smart ride from Victor Espinoza, won the race in a gate-to-wire runaway by 5 ¾ lengths.

It was Midcourt’s fourth win in seven starts for trainer John Shirreffs. Midcourt paid $7.60 and $4.40. Extra Hope was second and Two Thirty Five finished third.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

John Shirreffs (winning trainer): “It wasn’t the way I expected. I didn’t think they’d take off that soon and go to the lead. But Victor rode him great and he wanted to run today. He’s been training well but there’s always a step up they have to take in the afternoons. You hope there’s a realization then. He’s doing really well right now so we’ll go on to Santa Anita and see what we can do.”

Victor Espinoza (winning jockey): “The whole thing [Saturday] was I knew I had to let him do what he wants. He’s that kind of horse. I knew there wasn’t much speed in there today. And even though he’s never been on the lead in his races, I thought he might if he broke OK. He got out of there well and I gave him just a little encouragement and he went to the front. He was going so easy doing it, I knew when it came time he was really going to go.”

Del Mar preview

It’s a pretty decent card for a Sunday. There are nine races starting at 12:30 p.m. Five of the races are on the turf, there are four allowance/optional claimers and one stakes race. The stakes is the $100,000 Cary Grant for Cal-breds going seven furlongs. Any horse named Judy gets a free pass into the race. (Naw, just made that up.) If you don’t understand the joke listen to this. It’s the best thing in this newsletter, it’s got Andy, Gomer and Goober. And if you don’t know what that means, I give up on you. And if you don’t laugh, you can get this newsletter for free for six months.

OK, back to reality. The favorite in the Cary Grant is Fashionably Fast, at 8-5, for trainer Dean Pederson and jockey Tiago Pereira. This 4-year-old gelding has won his last three races, a couple of allowances at Del Mar and a stakes at Fresno. The second favorite, at 5-2, is Oliver (please sir, I want some more) for Doug O’Neill and Abel Cedillo. This 3-year-old colt has won a stakes at Los Alamitos and an allowance at Del Mar. Post time is around 4 p.m.

Here are the field sizes, in order: 8, 10, 8, 9, 8,12, 9, 6, 10.

Bob Ike’s Dmr pick of the day

THIRD RACE No. 5 Harmless (6-1)

Second-level allowance/optional claimer going one mile on turf and this sophomore filly from the Bob Hess stable might be able to take them all the way on the front end. There isn’t much pace signed up and she can be very tough on the front end even though some of her better efforts have been on the synthetic. If left alone long enough under Abel Cedillo should might not look back.

Saturday’s result: Seaside Dancer got away with a soft trip on the lead but was run down near the wire while just holding second in a three-way blanket finish.

Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day

EIGHTH RACE: No. 3 You Can Run (5-2)

Whlle four-time winner Budderlicous deserves his 7-5 morning-line odds, I have been waiting for You Can Run to get more distance. He was loaded with late energy when second and fourth respectively after troubled starts in his first two outs and looked terrific in last rapid 330-yard victory. In last win, he scored head verdict over well-regarded Ain’t Working, who was coming off a terrific 12.0 gate drill. I suggest a win bet and exactas with #7 Budderlicous and #8 Five Bar Jackpot. The latter has also been crying for more ground.

TAKEO had speed inside to duel for the lead, inched away into the second turn, edged clear and held on gamely under urging. FIVESTAR LYNCH (IRE) flashed early speed between horses then stalked a bit off the rail, continued inside on the backstretch and second turn, came out into the stretch and finished willingly to just miss. CAMPS BAY three deep leaving the chute, angled in and chased inside, cut the corner into the stretch and went up the rail in the drive for the show. TURN THE SWITCH bumped between rivals early, angled in on the first turn and saved ground chasing the pace, came out into the stretch and was edged for third. SALAH four wide exiting the chute, angled in and chased outside a rival, came three wide into the stretch and lacked the needed late kick. FRIENDLY OUTTHEDOR also four wide leaving the chute, chased alongside a rival, also came three wide into the stretch and could not summon the necessary late response. PEYTONS PATH pulled his way along four wide early, stalked outside a rival, went up three wide leaving the second turn and into the stretch and lacked the needed rally. GOLD N GRAND bumped between horses early, angled in and settled inside, came out into the stretch and again in upper stretch and could not offer the necessary late kick. SILENT MUSKETIER in tight between horses early, angled in and settled inside then a bit off the rail, went outside a rival on the second turn and into the stretch and did not rally. CHASE AND COLORADO had speed three deep then dueled outside the winner, stalked on the second turn, was between foes leaving that turn and weakened in the drive.

SAN DIEGO — 

A man who is suspected of shooting three Church’s Chicken employees, killing one of them, over a dispute about money was arrested Friday in Tennessee, San Diego police said.

Albert Lee Blake, 49, was taken into custody at a residence in Memphis, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a release. San Diego investigators who had reached out to federal marshals for help, confirmed the arrest.

“Investigators have been working around the clock since the night of the shooting, which led to a suspect being identified,” San Diego police said in a statement.

A warrant had been issued for Blake’s arrest, charging him with murder in the death of 28-year-old Maribel Merino Ibañez, police said. Investigators did not say how they came to suspect Blake was the shooter or how he was tracked to a city 1,800 miles away.

Authorities say Blake entered the restaurant in Otay Mesa on Nov. 6 and got into some sort of confrontation over money. A police officer and witnesses said the altercation involved a counterfeit $100 bill, but a Church’s employee who was there during the shooting said Ibañez had simply followed company policy by refusing to accept the $100 bill.

The man left but later returned with a gun and shot three workers — Ibañez and two men — from across the counter. An employee told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the gunman shot Ibañez first, then the men, then turned back to the wounded Ibañez on the floor and shot her again.

The gunman walked out and drove off in a blue car. Authorities released a photo of the car and a description of the suspect. Blake was arrested 16 days later.

Ibañez was a newlywed, just married on March 12 of this year, and had worked at the same Church’s location for about a decade.

Reached by phone Friday evening, husband Ramon Mendoza said knowing that Blake was in custody left him and others “a little bit more calm.”

“The good thing is they have him,” Mendoza said, speaking to the Union-Tribune in Spanish. “That’s what had me worried.”

He thanked the community for its support, and thanked authorities for pursuing the suspect.

“We’re going to wait and see if justice is served as it should be. We know it’s going to be a long process.”

With the arrest, Blake now faces extradition back to California. San Diego police referred questions to the county District Attorney’s Office, saying that a murder case had been filed.

Figueroa writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune

SAN DIEGO — 

U.S. Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer denied a New York Times report Saturday that he had threatened to resign or be fired if President Trump intervenes to stop an administrative review of a SEAL at the center of a botched war crimes court-martial.

Spencer delivered the denial from the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada, where he is a keynote speaker: “Contrary to popular belief, I am still here. I did not threaten to resign. We are here to talk about external threats, and Eddie Gallagher is not one of them.” The denial was also posted to his official Twitter account.

The comment bolstered other denials from Navy officials who told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Saturday that neither Spencer nor Rear Adm. Collin Green had threatened to resign, contrary to what the newspaper had reported hours earlier.

The report was based on comments from unnamed officials in the Trump administration, the New York Times said.

Earlier this week, Green, the commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, announced he would initiate “trident reviews” of four SEALs involved in a war crimes probe into the actions of SEAL Team 7’s Alpha Platoon during a 2017 deployment to Iraq. A trident review essentially determines whether a SEAL remains in the elite community.

The reviews were announced just days after Trump restored Navy SEAL Edward R. Gallagher to the rank of chief petty officer, overturning the sentence of the military jury in Gallagher’s San Diego court-martial this summer.

The decision to hold reviews was criticized as an affront to Trump’s authority as commander in chief by Gallagher’s media surrogates on Fox News and by his attorneys, Timothy Parlatore and Marc Mukasey.

On Thursday, Trump said in a tweet that the Navy will not be taking Gallagher’s SEAL trident pin, the gold insignia of the Navy SEALs.

Navy officials offered conflicting accounts on whether the reviews were suspended or proceeding.

The New York Times reported that the Navy may not consider Trump’s tweet an official order.

On Saturday, Spencer said he would need a formal order to stop a review of Gallagher, who could lose his trident pin and status as a Navy SEAL, according to the Associated Press.

“I need a formal order to act,” he said, referring to the tweet. “I don’t interpret them as a formal order.”

On Friday, the secretary told Reuters at the Halifax International Security Forum that he supports the hearing into whether Gallagher will be allowed to remain a SEAL, saying he believes the process matters for “good order and discipline.”

Parlatore, citing misconduct by a Navy lawyer and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service during Gallagher’s court-martial, told the Union-Tribune on Saturday that good order and discipline is no reason to disregard a “clear directive” from the commander in chief.

“The secretary should not be supporting [the review boards] when he has failed to ensure good order and discipline is applied across the board by holding [Navy] prosecutors and NCIS agents accountable for their criminal conduct in this case,” Parlatore said. “Additionally, [Spencer] should not be making statements like these on foreign soil.”

Rear Adm. Charlie Brown, the Navy’s chief spokesman, said Saturday that Spencer’s comments in Canada were in line with current White House guidance.

Parlatore said he thought Green should resign or be fired.

“At this point,” Parlatore said in a text message, “Green has demonstrated such a lack of leadership through his fixation on Eddie Gallagher and defiance of the president that he should resign or be fired.”

Gallagher was charged with killing a wounded Islamic State captive and shooting civilians during his time in Iraq in 2017. At the end of his court-martial, a jury acquitted him of the most serious allegations and convicted him of posing for photos with the body of the captive fighter.

A military jury sentenced Gallagher to four months’ confinement, which he served before trial, and reduced his rank to petty officer 1st class, or E-6.

Trump has intervened several times in the case, and Gallagher’s family members and advocates have made dozens of appearances on Fox News shows since the SEAL was charged in January.

Trump ordered Gallagher released from the Miramar brig in March, and tweeted his congratulations upon his acquittal of the most serious charges against him in July.

New on Blu-ray

“Where’d You Go, Bernadette” (20th Century Fox DVD, $29.98; Blu-ray, $34.99; also available on VOD)

In the dramedy, Cate Blanchett plays a cranky, agoraphobic architect who mysteriously disappears, leaving her precocious teenage daughter, Bee (played by Emma Nelson) to piece together the meaning of her life. Maria Semple’s bestselling novel tells Bernadette’s story via a series of found documents. For the movie, director Richard Linklater (who also cowrote the screenplay) devotes roughly the first half of the picture to a more objective, collage-like portrait of the heroine, then spends much of the second half on Bernadette’s own, more subjective impressions of her own experiences. Although the split structure doesn’t precisely replicate the experience of reading the book, Blanchett does bring a lot of spark to her portrayal of a frustrated wife and mother who’s trying to rediscover what once made her special.

VOD

“The Report” (available Nov. 29 on Amazon Prime Video)

Based on a true story, writer-director Scott Z. Burns’ engaging and informative political drama stars Adam Driver as real-life congressional investigator Daniel Jones, who was tasked by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (played here by Annette Bening) to dig through classified documents to determine the extent to which the U.S. government had sanctioned torture while fighting the post-9/11 war against terrorism. Despite the heavy topic, the film moves fleetly. Burns’ smart use of flashbacks fills audiences in on what happened in some American detainment facilities overseas during the morally murky mid-2000s, although this movie is ultimately more concerned with the complicated and frustrating politics of truth-telling.

TV set of the week

“Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet — Season 12” (Shout! Factory DVD, $44.99; Blu-ray, $59.97; also available on VOD)

The most recent season of the pop culture institution is one of the show’s most ambitious and also one of the funniest. Rather than just having host Jonah Ray and his wisecracking robot pals make fun of a random assortment of inept B-movies, the six episodes in this set tell a larger story, about Jonah and the ‘bots being forced to binge-watch half a dozen terrible films in a row. This one simple twist re-enlivens a classic concept. Plus, the use of some jaw-droppingly misbegotten motion pictures — including the all-time stinker “Mac and Me” — assures that this run is as hilarious as MST3K’s best.

“Now, Voyager” (Criterion DVD, $29.95; Blu-ray, $39.95)

“All About Eve” (Criterion DVD, $29.95; Blu-ray, $39.95)

Throughout the 1930s, Bette Davis was one of the most exciting actresses in Hollywood, bringing flintiness and worldliness to punchy melodramas. But most of her best films came after her starlet years — including 1942’s “Now, Voyager,” in which she played a depressed middle-aged spinster learning to love herself, and 1950’s “All About Eve,” where she’s a dimming Broadway star in danger of being overshadowed by a sycophantic ingenue. At her best, Davis inhabited multifaceted roles with little concern for whether she might be perceived as “unlikable.” She often placed the needs of the story over her own vanity.

Raymond Kappe’s first attempt to shape the future of California architecture ended in failure. After starting the architecture program at Cal Poly Pomona in 1968, he was fired as the department’s chairman. Kappe said it was because his program was too “free-swinging.”

Undaunted, he recruited six faculty members — future Pritzker Prize winner Thom Mayne, Ahde Lahti, Bill Simonian, Glen Small, Jim Stafford and Kappe’s wife, Shelly — to open a progressive architecture school. The New School, soon to become the influential Southern California Institute of Architecture, or SCI-Arc, opened in 1972 with 75 students at its original Santa Monica campus.

Kappe, who died Thursday at age 92, laid out SCI-Arc’s mission by placing an emphasis on social and cultural concerns. He used his stellar reputation in his role as founding director to attract faculty and students and served as director for the first 15 years and as chairman from 1998 to 2002.

Nearly 50 years later, alumni of the school — now an anchor of downtown L.A.’s Arts District in its location adjacent to the Los Angeles River — include architects Michael Rotondi, Dean Nota and John Souza, members of the so-called Santa Monica School of modern architecture, as well as Shigeru Ban, whose Naked House was named the Best House in the World by the World Architecture Awards in 2002.

“SCI-Arc would not have been possible without Ray Kappe,” said Rotondi, who went on to serve as SCI-Arc’s director, in a statement on Kappe’s passing. “His personality and character, his ideas, and most of all his visions were unique. Many of us would not have been possible without SCI-Arc.”

Kappe (pronounced KAP-ee) was also a prolific architect in his own right. He worked on more than 200 architectural projects, many of them embodying the California ideal of seamless indoor/outdoor living. Decades ahead of his time, his graceful modern houses were to advance the benefits of green building and, in some cases, revitalize communities.

“I design from the inside out,” Kappe told The Times in 1987. “My main concern is how a building works for the user and how it relates to and incorporates its surroundings.”

Experimentation boom

Kappe began his architectural career in the early 1950s, a golden time for residential and commercial experimentation in booming Southern California. And he remained a force until his death, passionately promoting prefabricated homes as an environmentally friendly, economic solution for hilly urban lots and flat desert outposts.

In 2006, Kappe unveiled an elegant, tiered house in Santa Monica made of 11 steel modules wrapped in sustainable cedar siding and glass. Ever the teacher, he wanted to show that a new breed of prefab boxes could be built quickly and efficiently in a factory, then delivered on a flatbed truck to the site and assembled by cranes on several levels. He was able to remove walls between rooms by staggering floors, a technique he used on his own Pacific Palisades residence, which allowed him to look up from his home office and see into his living room.

His 4,000-square-foot house, which he started designing in 1965 and had lived in since 1968, levitates on six concrete towers over a small stream, touching ground on only 600 square feet. He was able to buy the steep lot in 1962 for $17,000 because it had been deemed unbuildable.

The now-famous redwood dwelling was designated a historic cultural monument by the city of Los Angeles and has appeared in numerous publications and architectural books, including his 1999 monograph, “Themes and Variations: House Design Ray Kappe Architects/Planners (House Design, 3),” which he wrote with Michael Webb.

On the same Pacific Palisades street are six more of his keenly engineered houses, creating what was referred to as the Kappe Colony.

“I’m very into the idea of regionalism, trying to make places more appropriate to their location,” he once said. “People [in Southern California] are rather informal. We were attempting to be much more democratic and open after World War II, and L.A. exemplifies that.”

Ray Kappe

For most of his half-century career, his approach to modern was less about cold steel and more about arranging horizontal bands of Douglas fir and other wood to bridge gullies and creeks. He was adept at adapting multistory designs to slopes instead of cutting into hillsides and leveling the ground.

In many of his houses, walls of windows pressed against the branches of mature trees outside, creating a feeling of living in nature. He once told a reporter, “You know, architecture doesn’t have to do it all. The natural layer should show through too.”

Joe Addo of the A+D museum said before a 2004 exhibit of Kappe’s work, “His houses don’t shout at you, ‘I’m sexy.’ … Ray’s is not only architecture, it’s home.”

Although he distinguished himself by designing timeless houses, Kappe took pride in his public and community projects. He practiced what he taught his students: Everyone benefits from thoughtful urban design and planning.

While he was with Kahn Kappe Lotery Boccato Architects/Planners in Santa Monica from 1968 to 1981, the firm created revitalization programs for Inglewood, a 255-unit affordable housing project in Pasadena, a conservation and land use plan for the city of San Clemente, a master plan for the Watts Community Arts Center and the Ramona Gardens Park with Barrio Planners, which was started by a group of Kappe’s former Cal Poly Pomona students.

Not one to pump the ego-stroking and sometimes career-making publicity machine, Kappe was well rewarded by architecture organizations such as the prestigious American Institute of Architects, but he sometimes felt overlooked by writers for national publications. He took offense in his soft-spoken way at journalists who elevated the role of 2005 Pritzker Prize winner Mayne in starting the private, tuition-funded SCI-Arc.

But no one at the school doubted his dedication to SCI-Arc. Often, he sacrificed his private practice and pay for his students. He once traded his consultation fee from modern furnishing retailer Design Within Reach for $31,000 in furniture for the SCI-Arc library, which he started in 1974 with a collection of his art and architectural books. In the early 1990s, it was named the Shelly & Ray Kappe Library.

Architect and former SCI-Arc director Eric Owen Moss mourned his colleague’s passing in the form of a poem: “Ray Kappe: The toughest task. Make something. From nothing. Not many do that. SCI-Arc, No, To SCI-Arc, Yes. An aspiration. Realized. Teach it. Draw it. Exhibit it. Lecture on it. Build it. Make it new. Ray Kappe: SCI-Arc. From nothing to something. History became the history he wrote.”

And in 2002, Mayne said, “Ray Kappe, long ago my mentor, had the vision, commitment and energy to initiate a totally unique … educational model. Without his selflessness and his ability to mediate the diverse personalities necessary for a vital and creative architectural discourse, SCI-Arc could not have emerged into the institution it is today. His imprint remains at the core of this continuing experiment.”

Modern man

Kappe started his career in education in the early 1960s when he taught classes at USC. In 1977, he gave the keynote address at the national American Institute of Architects convention on the future of architectural education. Six years later, he founded SCI-Arc’s European program in Vico Morcote, Switzerland. In 1990, he received the Topaz Medallion, the highest award for excellence in architecture education, from the American Institute of Architects and the Assn. of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. In 2000, he helped secure a Santa Fe Railway freight depot building for SCI-Arc’s main campus downtown. And in 2006, he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award in Education at the American Institute of Architects convention in Los Angeles.

Kappe didn’t like the term “modernist” because he felt it was too trendy; he wanted his contributions to last. He embraced the term “modern” instead because it represented a desire to be current with the latest ideas, technologies and materials, he said. In the 1960s, he designed modular, prefabricated student housing for Sonoma State University that was never built. And in the 1970s, before the first Earth Day, he used recycled redwood and energy- and water-saving systems in houses. His prefab Santa Monica house for LivingHomes in 2006 was the first residence to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design highest rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Kappe was born Aug. 4, 1927, in Minneapolis. As a child, he liked to draw and did well in math and science. He grew up living in an apartment and told reporters that he would often stand at the windows looking out. “It’s been kind of a theme in my work, to extend out to the views,” he said. “I’ve always sought out the edges … and a feeling of expansiveness. That’s the common denominator in my architecture.”

After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1951, he worked for the San Francisco firm of Anshen + Allen, a designer of modern houses for middle-class buyers built by Joseph Eichler in the Bay Area and Southern California. He also worked for Los Angeles modern architect Carl Maston, who designed apartment buildings.

Kappe opened his own practice in Santa Monica in 1953, and while living with his wife in Sherman Oaks, he built post-and-beam houses with living rooms that lead into patios in the San Fernando Valley.

After dissolving his partnership with the other urban planning architects at Kahn Kappe Lotery Boccato Architects/Planners in 1981, he continued his private practice under the name of Kappe Architects Planners. From 1985 to 1990, he partnered with his two sons, Ron Kappe, an architect who now has a community and residential practice in San Rafael, Calif., and Finn Kappe, who is a Santa Monica-based supervising architect for LivingHomes. The father-and-sons firm worked on the University Faculty Office building for Cal State San Bernardino, the Hilton Beach Hotel in Oxnard, a mixed-use project in Oakland and several custom homes.

Kappe’s death came after contracting pneumonia, according to the Architect’s Newspaper. His passing was confirmed by SCI-Arc.

In addition to his sons and wife Shelly, whom he married in 1950 and collaborated with throughout their careers, Kappe is survived by his daughter, Karen Kappe, a psychologist and artist in Vancouver, Canada.

When his sons launched their own firms, Kappe went back to his one-man shop specializing in custom residences and prefabricated modular housing.

“I think it’s easier to do a lot than a little,” he once said. “You use your support better. And I always designed quickly. Houses are a great laboratory for experimenting with design and construction ideas.”

In 2007, when many named architects were seeking the highest bidder for their archives, Kappe donated thousands of his drawings, wood-block models and notes to the Getty Center to make them accessible to designers, students, homeowners and neighborhood preservation groups.

Before the Getty Research Institute took possession of the archive, head of special collections Wim de Wit said the Getty was willing to repair, store and open the archive to the public because “Ray Kappe is incredibly important and his importance will grow. He designs beautifully detailed wood structures and he was one of the earliest to use sustainable materials and to understand that we can live in an environment without damaging it.”

Dolly’s reach

In her profile of Dolly Parton [“Here to Lift You Up,” Nov. 17], Meredith Blake writes that Parton is “a figure beloved in equal measure by drag queens and devout Christians.”

I wish the media would stop using “devout Christians” as a synonym for “evangelical and fundamentalist Christians.” A person can be a highly devout Christian and also a drag queen.

Certainly, not many mainline, nonfundamentalist Christians are also drag queens, many are LGBTQ supportive.

LACMA plan: Love it, hate it

Regarding Christopher Knight’s column “LACMA Has No One Else to Blame” [Nov. 14]: The Los Angeles County Museum of Art does have someone to blame: Director Michael Govan, who over the years has squandered LACMA’s resources by not having the foresight of what a great museum’s destiny should be.

Mies van der Rohe’s saying “less is more” does apply to art, but in the museum’s case, it should read, “Less is less.” What a colossal waste of resources.

As director of the MCA San Diego from 1983 to 2016 and president of the Assn. of Art Museum Directors from 1998 to 1999, I’ve had a ringside seat observing the impressive growth of art museums in Los Angeles over the last three and a half decades.

I’ve also grown tired of reading Knight’s criticism of Govan and the planned expansion of LACMA. As a museum professional, I applaud the selection of Pritzker prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor and will welcome his dramatically contemporary replacement of most of the museum’s lackluster East campus.

Knight is obsessed by the thought of the permanent collection being presented in “theme exhibitions” rather than old school, rote chronological and geographical review.

Knight’s histrionic imploring to abandon the project seems purely ad hominem rather than pro culture in Los Angeles. Govan is arguably the most visionary art museum director of his generation, and I trust and enthusiastically support his daring vision for the new LACMA.

Knight is too kind in his assessment of the cause of LACMA’s fundraising problem for the new building. Breaking up the collection, reducing the size of the museum and covering the entire campus and Wilshire Boulevard with a limp organ propped up on stilts is not a project any intelligent donor would want to have their name on.

Our county supervisors should show some real leadership and halt this disaster now.

Why on earth would anyone want to build a museum over the most hated thing in L.A.: traffic? And wait. What? You are spending $700 million on a smaller building?! Will I be able to visit my favorite Picasso. Cézanne, Singer Sargent and Rivera? Or will I have to go to a satellite museum in Springfield to view my favorites because there won’t be any room at LACMA anymore?

Go ahead, one-percenters, enjoy your museum.

Chris Armstrong

Fundraising for LACMA’s new — and smaller — Wilshire campus and overall scheme to parcel out its collections to parts unknown throughout the county has stalled out.

Let’s be honest. When the LACMA leadership decides what collection will go where, who other than the people in the community to which they’ve assigned that collection is going to go see it? The architect for this “Well-it-sounded-good-at-the-celebrity-studded-cocktail-party” idea is not an Angeleno. He doesn’t know how difficult it is to get from one place to another within one’s own city, let alone from one city to the next. I might really want to go see Exhibit X in Cerritos, say; but that’s a long drive there and back for what for me would be about 90 minutes of art viewing at best. I’d probably just Google the art on view, read up on it and avoid the drive.

Thank you again to Knight for sounding the alarm on LACMA’s horrendous redesign. How can the county justify giving all that prime real estate to this low-slung, ink-smear, squashed-fly of a design? I’d much rather see them build a couple of beautiful multistory structures, give the museum as many floors as it could ever need and open the rest to affordable housing.

I am writing to offer a different point of view on the new LACMA building. As a longtime member, I have watched the museum evolve with a rapidly changing Los Angeles and believe in Govan’s vision to open up LACMA to L.A.’s neighborhoods. I disagree with the comment about an “ill-defined scheme for future satellite facilities.” Both the Vincent Price Art Museum in Monterey Park and Charles White Elementary School in Los Angeles have hosted LACMA exhibits recently. What is wrong with taking great art out of the building and bringing it into the neighborhoods?

Karen Hayes

Unlike New York’s MoMA, which recently opened its new 40,000-square-foot addition (built for $450 million), LACMA is going to pay $650 million (and probably more) to lose 53,000 square feet of gallery space.

A competent, professional board would have altered its course years ago, but it did not, and we are left with this boondoggle of a plan for a museum that could have — and should have — been built and open by now. Thirteen years to design a very expensive, one-story blob-shaped building that is still years away from groundbreaking, let alone opening, is more than unacceptable, it is outrageous.

Victoria Dailey

Whether Knight is right or wrong about LACMA’s new building project (and I largely agree with him), by his position as a critic for the main home-town newspaper and the top-of-the-page posting of this latest hyperbolic bellow, the result sadly rings of old-fashioned bullying.

The power of the press on display, for better or for worse.

David Weaver

Actions speak louder than words. Apparently major donors are not making contributions because of concerns about the unsightly and ill thought out plans for the new museum space. I hope that this reticence will encourage museum leadership to take another look to ensure a remodeled museum that enhances the community rather than distracts.

Ann C. Hayman

Westwood

This is a grossly underfunded project doomed to fail. And yet plans move forward to demolish the existing, still useful museum buildings. Just last week, a City Council committee approved the air rights needed if the new building is to bridge Wilshire Boulevard.

We, of the nonprofit Save LACMA, believe the museum’s ill-conceived project (a publicly owned building built on publicly owned land to house a publicly owned collection) is not in our community’s best interest. Spending at least $300 million in public funds, a portion of which could be better used elsewhere, is neither wise nor prudent.

We urge LACMA’s board of trustees, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and the City Council to withhold these funds, permits and approvals and pause this project until LACMA presents a much more viable plan.

In the interim, the museum should reopen its galleries, turn on the lights, unpack the art and showcase the public’s world-class encyclopedic collection.

Winning review of winning film

In his review of “Ford v Ferrari” [“All Cylinders,” Nov. 15], Kenneth Turan wonderfully captures the film’s dynamics as well as the relationships among the individuals involved in the story. I was moved to tears. Not by the racing, but by the conflict between those with vision and skill versus the disconnected and self-interested power brokers.

An economically devastating citrus disease has been detected for the first time in San Bernardino County, expanding an already large quarantine area aimed at keeping the malady from hitting the commercial groves centered in the southern San Joaquin Valley, according to California agricultural authorities.

Just one tree near the city of Montclair was stricken with citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing, a bacterial infection spread by a tiny insect, the Asian citrus psyllid, according to the state Department of Food and Agriculture.

An existing quarantine sparked by previous detections in Los Angeles and Orange counties has been expanded by 93 square miles, creating a contiguous 1,015-square-mile area. Another quarantine is in effect in Riverside County.

The measure imposes strict prohibitions on transporting citrus trees and fruit. No fruit that is not commercially cleaned and packed, including residential citrus, can be moved from the property on which it is grown, although it may be processed or consumed on the premises.

Officials plan to inspect, remove and spray citrus trees within 400 meters of the infected tree in San Bernardino County.

The HLB bacteria attack the citrus tree’s vascular system, resulting in fruit that is hard, bitter and misshapen. They do do not pose a health threat to humans.

Authorities confirmed the first California case of HLB in Hacienda Heights in 2012, and again in 2015 in San Gabriel, about 20 miles away. Both were residential areas.

California’s nearly $4-billion citrus industry has been concerned about the spread of the disease since it first was detected in Florida, in 2005, about seven years after the psyllid was first found there. Federal, state and private efforts to combat it include releasing an exotic wasp that preys on the psyllid, as well as a genetic engineering of citrus trees to add disease-fighting capabilities.

The first psyllids in California were found in the U.S.-Mexico border region of San Diego and Imperial counties in 2008 and have crept northward, largely aided by people transporting infested trees and fruit, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
