SACRAMENTO, Calif. The waiting is the hardest part. With more than 830,000 primary ballots still uncounted, many candidates and cam- paigns in California remained on pins and needles Thursday awaiting the results of undecided races. Proposition 29, the proposal to increase taxes on tobacco products to pay for cancer research, was among the contests that remained too close to call. Election officials warned that more of the same could occur after November’s general election, when the stakes are even higher, due to California’s all-paper voting system and meticulous legal requirements for coun- ties that tabulate results. More than half of California voters now cast ballots by mail, requiring elections offi- cials to verify signatures and voting status.

Oscar Duncan, 23, died after Monday night’s attack in the Venice area. The reward is for information leading to the arrest of the killer in the apparently gang-related shooting. Duncan, a youth pastor at Greater Zion Church in Compton, was standing in front of his mother’s home with his girlfriend after returning from a Bible study when a white car pulled up, police said. Some people in the car made remarks to Duncan, who walked to the car to see who it was, police Lt. John Radtke said. “Suddenly one person from the vehicle fired a shot, hit- ting Oscar in the head,” Radtke said. “We believe that this could be gang-motivated” and the attackers may have had gang ties although Duncan did not, Radtke said. Duncan grew up in Venice, where he was a high school football captain and homecoming king. He also worked with the Venice Boys & Girls Club. Duncan “committed his young life to help people, to mentor young kids, to help kids to stay away from the tragedies that we see in the streets every day,” police Capt. Jon Peters said. Club director Erikk Aldridge told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/NOfTm6 ) that he had “seen friends mur- dered, incarcerated, but this was different because this young man had both feet firmly planted in goodness and great things.” The club staff had decided last week to hire Duncan full time, Aldridge said. “He is the type of person that just didn’t have enemies,” Aldridge said. “He didn’t carry grudges, he wasn’t moody or anything like that. He loved working with young people because he was such a kid at heart.” Duncan’s brother, Curtis Nettles, called the fatal shooting “totally unfair.” “It’s unreal still,” he told the Times.

Entertainment 8 FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2012 We have you covered Play Time Cynthia Citron Get set for ‘Beautified’

A RATHER PERSNICKETY LADY FROM NEWTON, MASS., wanders into a beauty salon in Framingham, forms an unlikely friendship with the hairdresser, and keeps coming back regularly for 40 years. That would seem to be loyalty above and beyond, since the distance between Newton and Framingham is the same as the distance between Santa Monica and North Hollywood. But Tony Abatemarco’s new play, “Beautified,” now hav- ing its world premiere at the Skylight Theatre in Los Angeles, isn’t just about hairdressing. It’s about friendship. As the lady, Candy (Karen Austin) poses the question in an opening monologue, “Can a man and a woman have a deep but platonic relationship over the years and not become sexually involved?” Which is not exactly a legitimate question, since Mike, the hairdresser (admirably played by Rob Brownstein) is gay. He wasn’t always “out” though. Married for 30 years and the father of two annoying children that he very clearly loathes, he has finally given in to his “true nature” and left his family behind. Beginning in 1969, the years go by in conversation, changes of kooky costumes, wigs, and photos of current hairdos on the wall to signify the transformations wrought by time. Cleverly done, but not nearly as com- pelling or persuasive as Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn in the similarly plotted 1978 film “Same Time, Next Year.” The problem with “Beautified” is that Mike and Candy’s problems are unconvincingly presented. We see Candy briefly through cancer, and three (or four?) marriages and divorces to cardboard characters mentioned fleetingly in passing. And Mike’s problems arise from his introspective meditations on his role in the world. Is his life worthwhile? Has he made a difference? The two characters talk across each other and, although their conversations are warm, they frequently lapse into tediousness. There just isn’t enough momentum to hold your permanent interest. Austin and Brownstein are both superb actors, but their characters remain static — almost claustrophobic — as they talk about the people in their lives that we’ll never meet or care about. A third actor, Joanna Strapp, added presumably for comic relief, starts off as Mike’s dimwitted hippie assistant, plays a scene on roller skates, and periodically mangles a Boston accent. She’s good, but not quite good enough to give the play the bounce it needs. The excellent, award-winning director Jenny Sullivan has done as well as could be done with Tony Abatemarco’s abbreviated script, Jeff McLaughlin has designed a modest but serviceable set, and choreographer Cate Caplin has provided a small, sweet dance. But a little more activity (and perhaps a few more people) might have helped. “Beautified,”produced by the Katselas Theatre Company, plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through July 1 at the Skylight Theatre, 1816 North Vermont Ave., in Los Angeles.

Officers were advised that the suspect was last seen running northbound across Ocean Park Boulevard toward Alley Eight. Responding officers located and detained the suspect on the 2300 block of Alley Eight. A security guard at the market told officers that she saw the suspect take a bottle of Kettle One vodka and stuff it into his pants. She confronted him and told him to give the booze back. The suspect allegedly lifted his shirt and handed her the bottle. That’s when the guard said she saw the suspect had two addi- tional bottles of Kettle One tucked into his pants. The suspect ran out of the store before the guard could grab the two bottles. The suspect was positively identified by the guard and the bottles of booze were recovered. He was placed under arrest for burglary and vio- lation of parole. He was identified as Kaj Persson, 40, of Venice, Calif. No bail was set.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, Officers learned that a suspect in a residential burglary that occurred in February was in the custody of the LAPD for an unrelated burglary charge. Officers went to the Pacific Division station and took custody of the suspect, who was transported to the Santa Monica Jail and booked for burglary. He was identified as Kelon Montay Tyree, 21, of Venice Calif. His bail was set at $20,000. Police said the suspect broke into a home on the 2700 block of Second Street sometime in late February. The victim told officers that the door to his garage, which was serving as his home office, had been pried open and that two computers were missing. At least one of the computers was recovered after officers were led to a home on the 800 block of Brooks Avenue in Venice. The resident there said he had just purchased the comput- er from a friend of a friend. Since he cooperated with officers he was not arrested.

THURSDAY, MAY 10, AT 5:50 P.M., Officers responded to the Bank of America located on the 1400 block of Wilshire Boulevard regarding a report of a suspicious person trying to cash a check from an account without any identification. When officers arrived, they learned that the suspect had already left the bank with what bank employees thought was a fraudulent check. During the investigation, officers contacted the alleged victim, whose name appeared on the check, who told police that his wallet had been lost or stolen and that he had not given anyone permission to write checks on his behalf or use his credit cards. Investigators learned that the suspect had also attempted to cash the check at US Bank on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica. On May 18, investigators obtained video surveillance footage from the banks and followed up on other leads. On May 31, after developing additional leads, officers responded to the 1500 block of Santa Monica Boulevard — Busy Bee Hardware — where the owner confirmed that the sus- pect used to work at the business. Investigators conducted a records check and found that the suspect was on probation. They went to his home on the 800 block of 16th Street. Officers made contact with the suspect, searched his home and allegedly found several items associated with the fraud. Investigators said the suspect had used the victim’s stolen credit cards to make several thousand dollars worth of purchases around town. The suspect was placed under arrest for burglary, forgery and violation of probation. He was identified as Warren Richard Arden, 30, of Santa Monica. No bail was set.
