I was not really a fan of Sheriff Baca and I’m not a fan of the Sheriff’s Department. I think the sheriff in any case should be an appointed department head not an independent elected. I understand the history, but it’s just not working in our modern world.

That said, as I often pointed out to staff, something was clearly wrong with Sheriff Baca his last five or so years in office. He was no longer quick on his feet, his personality, even his facial expression, changed. He was no longer upbeat and no longer forward looking or reformist in how he ran the department. He just didn’t seem to be there. Many staff agreed that he seemed a bit kookie. I think it’s pretty clear the undersheriff was running things and had a clear mind.

Looking back, he must have been suffering from and attempting to hide his Alzhiemer’s for some time. If you have dementia, can you lie? Can you actually aid in your own defense effectively?

I’m a progressive, but the bedrock of all progressive thought must be justice tempered with understanding and mercy. I don’t think Sheriff Baca was in clear possession of his faculties when these things happened and I think both his conviction and any sentence are profoundly unjust and unmerciful. ~ STEVE LAMB ALTADENA

HOW TO REACH US Address: 50 S. DeLacey Ave., Suite 200, Pasadena 91105 Telephone: (626) 584-1500 Fax: (626) 795-0149

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF Do you enjoy this freezing cold weather we are having this winter in Southern California due to the season change? Would you rather be indoors cuddled under a blanket with the heat on than

to go out in these freezing temperatures and get your errands done, etc.? What about your precious feet? How are they?

Don’t the ever get cold?

Well, I’ll tell you what! Mine sure do! Very much! They freeze! That is one reason why I am starting a “sock” ministry called “the feet of peace.” To warm each sole I come in contact with and pray over them.

Beside this point, I am writing this article because I am passionate about people who have colds and coughs and flus and that go out in public and are contagious and spread their symptoms to others who are well. That really irritates me and makes me very upset because of a situation of the past with my sick mother who suffered greatly with bone cancer and didn’t want me to be around her when I had a cold or cough. She told me to stay home and nurse my cold back to health and not to “spread” my “cooties.” That was the right thing to do!

I believe everyone should do what my mom taught me (everywhere). It would be beneficial if everyone would nurse their colds and flus and

get better before going to work or school or church, etc. We would have less people spreading their sickness and everyone would be better off. I understand that a lot of people are having fi nancial difficulties and it forces them to work when they are ill; however, I wanted to bring up this point nevertheless. Let us be more considerate of others and take better care of ourselves and take our vitamin C and our vitamin D and get sunshine during this flu season and if we have to get our flu shots than let’s get them and wash our hands frequently with hand sanitizer and if we have the flu then: • Stay home and get plenty of rest. Mind your flu manners.

• Drink plenty of fluids.

Make sure you get more liquids.

• Treat aches and fever … got fever?

• Take care of your cough.

• Breathe in steam.

• Sit in a steamy bathroom.

• Run the humidifier.

• Try a lozenge Remember, the flu season can vary from October to activity peaking in December and February with activity that can last as late as May. If a person gets the flu and it turns into pneumonia, the pneumonia is considered a bacterial infection and the person can even die. To prevent the flu it is important to exercise, to eat a healthy diet, to wash hands frequently, get a humidifier, keep moving, cut back on calories, get sleep, and also get the flu shot. According to the King James version of the Bible, it says in 3 John 1:2, “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”

I hope this has encouraged you to want to be well and stay well and not pass your sickness to others. ~ DESIREE CARLA LAUTMAN VIA EMAIL

BY KEVIN UHRICH

STILL RUNNING EVENTS SERVE AS ROAD SIGNS IN A YEAR FULL OF MILESTONES

S

eems like yesterday, but it was long ago, as rocker Bob Seger once noted about the passing of time in a young man’s life..

How long ago was it, you ask? And what exactly is “it”?

More in a minute on both of those questions.

First, let me say that in the PW office it’s easy to lose track of time, which really does fly from one edition to the next. Why, no sooner is the Rose Parade over than we’re gearing up for Summer Guide, then July Fourth, and then Best of Pasadena before Christmas rolls around.

Just last month I started building a new pile of issues which I dutifully stack on the edge of my desk, moving the existing pile of last year’s newspapers — each a time capsule of a particular week — to two now-empty desks across from me in the office.

These work stations are time pieces in their own right, each once occupied by reporters but now serving as a makeshift storage area for a collection of papers dating back to 2006. I occasionally walk over there to leaf through the old papers. In my mind, I can still hear the room buzzing with the workings of full and part-time reporters and a slew of interns. Our arts editor even had an assistant back then. Like most print publications, though, our ranks have thinned considerably since those days, as has the paper itself.

It was the opportunity to freelance that brought me to PW in mid-1996, when Jim and Margie Laris owned the paper. I was already working for the nowdefunct LA Reader, plus a few other local publications. I seemed to always need two or three writing gigs to pay the bills, and that was true of my time with City News Service in the early to mid-1990s. I was overnight editor there for a time, writing early morning drive-time headlines for area radio deejays to rip and read at 5 a.m. The OJ Simpson murder trial was the big news of those days. The challenge for me was describing a near-decapitation without causing people to throw up in their coffee.

Even when I had a full-time job at a daily paper I freelanced with The Reader. This was true not only with CNS but also when I was covering earthquakes, the Altadena wildfi res, police shootings, racial and gender inequities, the Rodney King beating and subsequent fallout, the LA Riots and assorted fi nancial, sexual and racially charged scandals at Pasadena City Hall for the Star-News from 1990 to 1994. Same went for the LA Times the following year. I also penned a few stories for The Reader between 1986 and 1990, while covering Ventura County government and uncovering its hinky cops and racist politicians for the Simi Valley Enterprise. I was still writing for The Reader when it folded in August 1996.

I actually started my journalism career in 1984 while working as a copyboy at the LA Daily News when it was in Van Nuys, shortly after it changed its name from the Valley News. Before getting a job as a copyboy, I worked as a truck driver for the paper while attending Valley College, also in Van Nuys.

There I wrote for the campus paper, the Valley Star. It was at Valley that I met my soon to be ex-wife, with whom I had a son. Shortly after moving into editorial, I penned two cover features for the paper’s Sunday magazine — the fi rst stories for which I was paid.

That really was long ago. And now you know the “it” — journalism. So what does it all add up to?

What I do know is there’s something happening here, to quote Stephen Stills, another favorite of my youth. Not only was last week my 60th birthday, but it also marked my 1,000th edition of PW as editor. In addition, on March 5, I’ll have been in LA 40 years, arriving in Sherman Oaks a few days after turning 20 in 1979. Then, the second week of December will mark 20 years as editor.

But wait, there’s more. This summer we will commemorate the 35th year of the Pasadena Weekly, just as I will celebrate 35 years as a working journalist, and the 35th year in the life of my son, who is now himself a proud husband and father. And fi nally, as this somewhat odd but welcome Year of the Pig celestial alignment would have it, this year marks 25 years with my significant other.

At the moment, all I can say is thank you, Pasadena Weekly fans. Much of the above might not have ever happened without your many years of support, for which I am forever in your debt.

Just know that yes, I am older now, to complete Mr. Seger’s thought, and still running against the wind. ■

WEB EXCLUSIVE LOADED SENTENCE

GOURDIKIAN LIKELY TO SERVE 10 MONTHS OF 1 YEAR, 1 DAY SENTENCE

Pasadena as Miss Crown City, which was a Rose Queen-esque honor at the time. She was also the first African American hired to work at City Hall, albeit inadvertently, in the Municipal Light and Power Department.

In her capacity as Miss Crown City 1958, she was scheduled to ride on the city’s float in the Jan. 1, 1959, Rose Parade, but was denied the honor after city officials discovered the light complexioned Williams was African American and canceled the float. Then-Pasadena Mayor Seth Miller, who had crowned Williams at a coronation ceremony, later refused to take a photo with her at the annual city employees’ picnic at Brookside Park, and she was also not allowed to cut the grand opening ribbons at Sears, J.W. Robinson and other businesses. Her City Hall coworkers and bosses ostracized her until she left the job.

In 2013, this reporter interviewed Williams about her experience for an article in the Pasadena Weekly, the first time her story was told.

On April 5, 2014, the local nonprofit Men Educating Men About Health (MEMAH) honored Williams at a gala at the Western Justice Center.

A federal judge on Monday sentenced former Pasadena police Lt. Vasken Gourdikian to one year and one day in prison for selling weapons without a federal firearms license.

US District Judge Stephen V. Wilson also fined Gourdikian $10,000 but dismissed a charge that Gourdikian lied on a federal form.

Gourdikian will begin serving the sentence in June. The extra day on the sentence allows Gourdikian the opportunity to receive a 15 percent reduction in his sentence for good behavior. According to federal sentencing guidelines, he will likely serve 10 months.

His lawyer, Mark Werksman said he expects him to serve less than seven months behind bars, according to the Pasadena Star-News.

The courtroom was packed Monday with Gourdikian’s supporters and family members.

Wilson said the sentence was sufficient, based on the crime.

“It is more than adequate to serve as a deterrent to others,” the judge said from the bench.

Gourdikian sold hundreds of weapons on Calguns.net, a website for gun advocates, including off-roster weapons, which only police officers can purchase without a federal firearms license.

Gourdikian sought probation, claiming he had an addiction to collecting firearms.

In a tearful statement to the court, Gourdikian said he lost control.

“I would often tell my sons and others over the years to be careful of choices you make and not to engage in anything to an excess and yet somehow I allowed myself to become fixated and engrossed in the behavior that is a dire consequence,” Gourdikian said. “As such, I have lost a meaningful career. My professional reputation and public trust, I lost my way, your honor. I allowed what I thought was a hobby to get the better of me, but it was a mistake of the heart and of the mind.”

In February 2017, agents with the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) obtained a warrant to search Gourdikian’s Sierra Madre home, seizing 57 weapons.

Gourdikian was placed on paid administrative leave, collecting more than $191,000 until he resigned following his indictment in March.

The incident rocked the Pasadena Police Department, ending Gourdikian’s promising career.

It also changed policy and was one of the factors that led to the retirement of former Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez.

FIRST JUSTICE, NOW PEACE JOAN WILLIAMS, MISS CROWN CITY 1958 WHO WAS DENIED A PLACE IN THE ROSE PARADE DUE TO HER RACE, HAS DIED

J

oan Williams, whose story of racial reconciliation inspired the nation, passed away from ovarian cancer on Feb. 20 at her home near the Rose Bowl. She was 86.

More than a half-century after she was discriminated against by city officials in 1958 and denied a ride in the Rose Parade because she was African American, the Pasadena Weekly reported on her story and she finally rode in the parade in 2015.

Pasadena City Councilman John Kennedy invited Williams’ children Angela Williams, Robyn Wood and Robert “Chip” Williams to say a few words about their mother at Monday’s City Council meeting. The council adjourned the meeting in her honor.

“I am saddened to hear the news of her passing but feel relief that the city of Pasadena was able to right a past wrong and give her Roses while she was still alive,” said former Council member Jacque Robinson.

BACK TO SQUARE ONE GORDO RECALL LEADERS MISS KEY DEADLINE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

An effort to recall Councilman Victor Gordo ended on Monday after proponents missed a deadline to file required documents at Pasadena City Hall.

Bradley Hertz of the San Francisco-based Sutton Law Victor Gordo Firm failed to file two copies of a draft petition and proof that that a notice of intention to circulate a recall petition was published in a local newspaper.

City Clerk Mark Jomsky confirmed that the paperwork had not been filed on time.

“There is no further action required by the City Clerk’s Office,” Jomsky said.

According to a the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s website, “Any error or discrepancy in following any of the steps in connection with a particular recall may require that some or all steps taken up to that point be re-initiated.”

The petition claimed that “Gordo is unresponsive to calls and correspondence and inaccessible to community members and constituents.”

Hertz called the decision not to file the documents “strategic.”

“The ‘notice of intention to circulate recall petition’ with regard to Pasadena City Councilmember Victor Gordo is in the process of being revised and refiled,” said Hertz in an email.

Hertz represents Shaun Szameit, owner of a shuttered marijuana dispensary that unsuccessfully attempted to meet with Gordo several times, according to emails released by Gordo.

Szameit refused to comment when contacted by the Pasadena Weekly on Tuesday.

Police raided Szameit’s Golden State Collective dispensary in December. The dispensary was operating without a license.

Szameit and three other defendants — Yulissa Gonzales, Tony Gutierrez, and property owner Elizabeth McDuffie — face a total of 18 misdemeanor charges in connection with possession of marijuana for sale, cannabis sales without a permit, and being a public nuisance. Szameit personally faces five charges, and in addition 21 zoning violations and $25,800 in fines. He and other allegedly illegal operators have unsuccessfully sued the city to overturn Measure CC, which Pasadena voters overwhelmingly approved in June to allow legal marijuana sales in limited locations throughout the city.

“It is imperative that jurisdictions only work with those operators who have respectable records and have shown good faith in their dealings with public officials. Otherwise, they’re opening the door for trouble,” Gordo said. “I helped lead the effort to legalize responsible cannabis sales in Pasadena and they will start by summer. Until then, I look forward to putting this unfortunate controversy behind us.” n

OUTNUMBERED AND IRRELEVANT SUPPORTERS OF 2019 ROSE QUEEN DROWN OUT WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH PICKETERS WITH MESSAGES OF LOVE

BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN

Westboro Baptist Church protesters arrived in Pasadena with a whimper Monday morning.

A half-dozen or so members of the anti-gay, anti-Semitic, Kansas-based church picketed on the sidewalk outside Pasadena’s Sequoyah High School, located on the Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church campus on Orange Grove Boulevard.

On its website, Westboro said they were targeting Sequoyah because the 2019 Rose Queen Louise Deser Siskel wrote a column in the Los Angeles Times on New Year’s Eve coming out as bisexual. The column also noted that she is Jewish and a senior at Sequoyah.

The Westboro picketers, including Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of the late church founder Fred Phelps, were outnumbered by dozens of counter-protesters in several clusters on and around the campus and in the Rose Bowl parking lot about a mile down the road.

“Today we met hate and venom with love and compassion,” Jessica Gable, communications coordinator at Neighborhood Church, told the Pasadena Weekly.

“Members of our community, as well as the Pasadena community at large, surrounded the Sequoyah students with support and messages of kindness. We are thrilled at the triumph of inclusion that we witnessed today.”

Several Pasadena police officers and private security were on the scene, as was Siskel, who was surrounded by supporters. Westboro picketers held signs with offensive — and mostly irrelevant — slogans, such as “God sent the shooter” and “God hates Christ-rejecting, apostate Jews.”

Siskel’s supporters held up rainbow banners and signs with slogans such as “Love > Hate,” “I love my trans son,” “Love lives here,” “My God loves all and so do we” and “Blessed to be LGBT,” among many others.

On Sunday, Neighborhood Church Social Justice and Inclusion staff and LGBTQ community organizers hosted a peace training and poster-making workshop. The fruits of their labor were posted around the campus and written in chalk on the sidewalk, featuring messages of love and acceptance.

The protest lasted less than half an hour and ended without incident. Last week, Neighborhood Church officials said they were discouraging people from engaging with Westboro protesters. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 02.28.19

FIRST JUSTICE, NOW PEACE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

City Council members Steve Madison, Terry Tornek, Robinson and Kennedy were in attendance, and they later directed city staff to investigate her story. Madison was the first city official to apologize for the 1958 incident “on behalf of my forebears,” he told her.

In October 2014, then-Mayor Bill Bogaard and thenTournament of Roses Executive Director Bill Flinn took Williams to lunch and offered her a spot on a float in the upcoming parade.

“She had put the ugliness of [the 1958 incident] behind her, so when she was contacted to ride on a float in the 2015 parade she wasn’t sure she wanted to do it,” Williams’ son Chip told the Weekly. “But she realized that it meant a lot to the community and would allow for healing, so she felt it was important to ride on the float so that there would be reconciliation.”

Williams told the Weekly that before accepting the offer to ride on a float, she wanted to make sure it wasn’t sponsored by an organization that espoused homophobia in any way.

Pasadena Weekly again wrote about her story on Dec. 24, 2014, after which dozens of local, national and international media outlets picked it up.

On New Year’s Eve 2014, Bogaard delivered a formal letter of apology to Williams on behalf of the city written on the mayor’s official letterhead.

“I am truly pleased that you will be in the parade this year, and I am extremely sorry that this opportunity was not made available to you in 1958,” Bogaard wrote.

“As Mayor, I hereby apologize to you for the experience you had as Miss Crown City in 1958 and I thank you for accepting this year’s invitation and for the friendship you have expressed for Pasadena.”

Just before riding in the parade, Williams told the Weekly that she was “delighted and really appreciate that the city recognized that they needed to make some kind of gesture towards righting that wrong.

Pasadena has shown the community that they’re on the right path and that they’re recognizing these things and that it’s something they need to follow through on.”

On Jan. 1, 2015, nearly six decades after being discriminated against by Pasadena city officials for being black, Joan Williams finally got to ride in the 126th Rose Parade in the lead theme banner float. The apt theme that year was “Inspiring Stories.”

Chip said she was “happy to represent the community and have that closure.”

‘To the Betterment of Pasadena’ After riding in the parade, Williams told the Weekly that the most important thing to her was the community showing her kindness and appreciation along the route. She heard from people all across the country who were excited to tune in and watch Miss Crown City finally riding in the parade. KTLA, however, did not mention her in their televised broadcast of the parade.

In the months that followed the parade, several organizations and local and state officials, such as then-LA County Supervisor Michael Antonovich and state Assemblymember Chris Holden, honored

Williams.

“Joan Williams was the model of poise and grace,” Holden wrote in a text message to the Weekly. “As a result of her courage in calling out racial discrimination in the early years of the Tournament of Roses, her contributions to the betterment of Pasadena will not be forgotten.”

Jim Morris, executive director of MEMAH, the organization that originally honored her in 2014, said he is “saddened that Joan has left us but happy that she lived long enough to get the justice that was due to her.”

‘A Mother Figure in the Community’ Williams graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1950. She attended Wolfe’s School of Costume Design by day and took general studies courses at Los Angeles City College by night. She saw Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., deliver a sermon on February 28, 1960, at Friendship Baptist Church in Pasadena, in which he talked about the Montgomery bus boycott and the foundations of a meaningful life.

In 1952, she married Capt. Robert W. Williams, who was one of the original “Tuskegee Airmen” fighter pilots in World War II whose story helped inspire the movie of the same name starring Laurence Fishburne. Robert also co-wrote and co-executive produced the film, which was released by HBO in 1995 and won a Peabody Award and three Emmy Awards.

Joan and Robert were married for 45 years when he died from prostate cancer in 1997. Williams said she and her husband encountered racism from realtors when they tried to purchase a home in the San Fernando Valley, so they built their own house in 1963 on Arroyo Blvd. That year, she started working at Kaiser Permanente as a receptionist, where she worked for 32 years.

“My mother was a graceful, elegant and caring woman,” said Chip. “My mother’s and father’s open arms and open hearts welcomed people from all over the world into their home. Many of my gay friends felt that where their parents didn’t accept them, they found a surrogate mother in my mother who did accept them. She was a mother figure to many people in our community.”

Chip added that his mother was very involved in her community, including by advocating for proper street lighting and equitable distribution of Rose Bowl event traffic. She helped organize a Saturday school for students in the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) who needed support with reading and math, and served as the school’s director for two years.

After retiring in 1994 from Kaiser, she volunteered at the Pasadena AIDS Service Center, read to PUSD students and participated in Leadership Pasadena.

Joan Williams is survived by three children, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Her family is currently planning a memorial. n Visit pasadenaweekly.com for an expanded version of this story.

PUBLIC HEALTH ENEMY NO. 1 WHO’S SMOKING NOW AND WHY IT MATTERS

BY KENNETH E. WARNER

S

uppose you were told that there is something responsible for nearly 1 of every 5 deaths of Americans, and that it is completely avoidable. Would you believe — today — that “something” is cigarette smoking?

If you’re a college graduate, you might not believe it. You don’t smoke. Your friends and colleagues don’t smoke. You never see smoke in your workplace, nor in the restaurants and bars you frequent. Like many of the nation’s most educated citizens, you may well regard the problem of smoking as largely solved. Because the educated population is also the most politically engaged, cigarette smoking has virtually disappeared from the nation’s health policy agenda.

I’m not a smoker, although like many of you I was one (45 years ago, in my case). As a student of tobacco policy for over 40 years, I have helped to document the remarkable progress we have made against smoking. But I also appreciate why smoking remains our nation’s most avoidable cause of disability and premature death. The lack of policy attention to smoking is a public health tragedy.

The good news and the bad news No one can deny the extraordinary victories against smoking. Since the 1964 Surgeon General’s report on smoking and health, adult smoking prevalence has dropped by two-thirds, from 43 percent to 14 percent.

The decrease among young people has been even more substantial. For example, since smoking peaked among high school seniors 20 years ago, smoking prevalence in the past 30 days has plummeted by nearly 80 percent.

Prompted by tobacco control initiatives, Americans’ decisions to quit smoking and not to start in the first place avoided 8 million premature deaths from 1964 to 2012. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers tobacco control one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century and of the first decade of the 21st.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that 1 of every 7 adults still smokes. And smoking kills nearly 500,000 Americans every year. That number exceeds — by a lot — the sum total of all deaths caused by the opioids and other drugs, alcohol, motor vehicle injuries, homicide, suicide, HIV/AIDS and fires.

The role of education What accounts for the divergence between common perceptions about smoking and the dismal reality? In large part it is remarkable changes in who is smoking. Increasingly, today’s smokers are those with lower education, lower income and — importantly — a higher incidence of mental illness.

Consider this: In 1966, the smoking rate of Americans who hadn’t graduated high school was just 20 percent greater than that of college grads. By 2017, in contrast, the smoking prevalence of the least educated was nearly four times greater than that of the most educated.

Smoking has declined substantially at both ends of the education spectrum but to a much higher degree among college graduates: by half among Americans lacking a high school degree, but by 85 percent among college graduates.

For college grads, the rate of smoking in 2017 was vanishingly small. For those without a high school degree, and indeed for high school grads too, fully 1 out of 5 remain smokers. The difference matters. Research attributes a fifth to a third of a large education-related gap in life expectancy to differences in smoking.

Money matters A similar pattern of smoking holds with respect to income classes, themselves highly correlated with educational attainment. According to the latest data, Americans who live below the federal poverty level were three times more likely to smoke than Americans with incomes at least 400 percent above the federal poverty level. The gap has widened since the early 1990s.

There is an enormous difference in life expectancies between the nation’s richest and poorest citizens. Smoking is again a significant factor in this disparity.

Mental health does, too An enormously important factor in smoking today is that the smoking prevalence of people suffering from serious mental illness is more than double that of the population not so afflicted (28 percent and 13 percent, respectively, in 2014). People with mental health problems or

substance use disorders constitute a quarter of the US population but consume 40 percent of all cigarettes smoked. They have more difficulty quitting smoking.

Rates differ by mental illness condition. In 2007, nearly 60 percent of schizophrenics smoked.

That was three times the rate of the general population. Smokers with serious psychological distress (SPD) lose 15 years of life expectancy. Nonsmoking victims of SPD lose five years. Research has thus attributed up to two-thirds of the life expectancy reduction of SPD victims who smoke to their consumption of cigarettes.

Sexual orientation, race and ethnicity Smoking also disproportionately afflicts members of the LGBT community. Among racial/ ethnic groups, American Indians and Alaskan Natives had the highest smoking rates in 2016, while Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders had the lowest.

In general, women have substantially lower smoking rates than men. The exceptions are American Indians/Alaska Natives, among whom women have slightly higher smoking prevalence than men, and non-Hispanic whites, among whom men smoke at slightly higher rates.

Marginalized smokers As these data indicate, the principal victims of smoking are members of marginalized populations. Despite the enormous continuing importance of smoking in U.S. health, the issue is submerged. Smoking no longer afflicts the nation’s most economically advantaged population, and those it does burden lack an effective voice in the nation’s political life.

Besides, smokers tend to blame themselves for the behavior.

In point of fact, smoking is a tenacious addiction, one that the vast majority of smokers acquired in their youth. They were assisted in so doing by an avaricious tobacco industry that marketed aggressively to young people. Kids have been referred to as “replacement smokers,” the new smokers needed to replenish the industry’s customer base as its most loyal customers succumb to smoking-produced diseases.

Restoring tobacco control to the nation’s public health agenda What can be done? The simple — and incomplete — answer is “more of the same.” Public education has contributed to decreased smoking, as have policy interventions: cigarette taxation, smoke-free workplace laws, prohibitions on product advertising and promotion, and media antismoking campaigns. Evidence-based smoking cessation treatments can help as well. Interventions increasingly need to be targeted to specific high-risk groups.

These evidence-based measures are unlikely to be enough, however. A potentially complementary tool may lie in a highly controversial recent development: the emergence of e-cigarettes.

Novel reduced-risk nicotine delivery products like e-cigarettes may serve as alternatives to smoking, especially for those smokers otherwise incapable of quitting cigarettes.

Vaping may hold the potential to help significant numbers of Americans to quit smoking. The risks of vaping are clearly substantially less than those of smoking. At the same time, however, there are concerns about the attraction of e-cigarettes to young people and uncertainty about the health effects of long-term vaping.

While the ultimate impacts of e-cigarettes and other novel non-combusted tobacco products remain to be seen, there is widespread agreement that it is the burning of tobacco – primarily in the form of cigarette smoking, with its 7,000 chemicals – that is by far the most deadly method of consuming tobacco.

The enormous successes of tobacco control notwithstanding, smoking remains Public Health Enemy No. 1. Today, the burden of smoking falls primarily on marginalized populations – the poor, the poorly educated, and those suffering from mental health problems. A compassionate public would renew the battle against smoking with a vigor not seen in decades. ■ Kenneth E. Warner is professor emeritus of public health, at the University of Michigan.

Something For Everyone

THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE FOR LUNCH THAN MARIO’S DELI IN GLENDALE

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE

PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO

I am a pop culture fanatic who consumes film and television with intensity. I am guilty of inconspicuously working six-degrees of Kevin Bacon and the pop culture decks on Heads Up into way more social outings than I care to admit, all so I can dazzle with my savant-like knowledge of stars of stage and screen from decades before I was even born.

My love of film and television lead to my desire to chase some of the imagery and backdrops of the fictional worlds I’ve been obsessed with. On my first trip to New York, I sought out the blue, Greek key coffee cups carried by every NYPD officer in every movie and episode of “Law and Order.” I doubt I am alone. Who hasn’t dreamed of finding their very own Central Perk, or redboothed diner with coffee stained mugs a la “Pulp Fiction” and “The Big Lebowski”?

Naturally, I was transported to some of my favorite films as I entered my latest expedition, Mario’s Italian Deli in Glendale.

Mario’s is an Italian bodega-style Italian market, deli and sandwich shop in business for more than 50 years. It is the exact 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 02.28.19

conceptualization of a neighborhood market painted in my head in hundreds of films.

Maybe it is my own mental gymnastics after seeing an autographed headshot of Jack Nicholson behind the counter, but I have a theory that Mario’s inspired the opening scene of “The Departed” where at a bodega with a similar aesthetic Nicholson's mob boss Frank Costello first corrupts a young Colin Sullivan, by buying him bread, cold cuts and a comic book.

There are three culinary components to Mario’s. Behind the deli counter you can order any number of made-to-order sandwiches, pastas, or pizzas to be enjoyed in their modest dining area or to be taken to-go. They also have a variety of deli meats, prosciuttos, salami, cheeses and salads that can be sliced or weighed to your specifications. Their market section is fully stocked with some of their own pasta sauces, desserts and pastas all packed tight to be prepared later.

Upon entering, the sights and scents you might expect of an Italian market delight. The authenticity is palpable. Traditionally,

they use a take-a-number system for prepared foods and the deli counter. There is a separate register where you can purchase any of the market items.

On my visit, my dining companions and I tried three sandwiches and brought home a premade lasagna and tiramisu to share later.

The bad boy sub ($12.49) is one of the quintessential Italian combos served with a choice of hot pastrami or honey maple turkey and barbecue mesquite chicken served hot with all the traditional accompaniments: lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, honey mustard, avocado, spicy Italian peppers and toasted bread.

The rib-eye steak sandwich ($12.99) features slices of the tender, flavorful steak layered with tomato, grilled onion, mayo, fresh chopped garlic and seasoning on Italian bread. Confession: I put the whole thing away and it was delicious.

The favorite was the S.O.B. named for spicy sopressata, oven roasted chicken and balsamic vinegar. This spicy, toasty combo with the vinegar bite is everything a deli sandwich should be. The bread is crusty on the outside, spongy and light inside, the meat is sliced deli thin and piled high, and of course the sandwich is as big as your forearm. Tip: add avocado and omit the middle bread.

The walls of Mario’s are nearly devoid of a blank space, plastered in signs and autographed photos of celebrities. Menus and signs exist in different shades of white and ecru, layering each other as if each hue points to a specific decade in the deli’s history.

These long held favorites have stood the test of time.

Classic combinations and Mario’s own recipes exist side by side on the deli menu that literally boasts something for everyone.

The wall behind the deli-counter is information

overload, lined with enough words to fill my entire column, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t read every single menu option up there in fear of missing out on one single thing this place had to offer. Side note: I’d have to visit dozens of times to eat everything I wanted to order.

Mario’s is so comically modest for the mainstay they have become. They have a four foot tall blown up version of the article from 2001 written about them by the New York Times’ LA edition. Their website is a basic HTML page that looks like it has not changed much since the early internet days.

Mario’s is the equivalent to the billionaire that drives around in a Honda Accord. They have done everything so right and so well for so incredibly long they have no need to put on airs about what they do. There are 50 years of confidence behind Mario’s, which in the fast-paced, one day here, next day gone LA restaurant scene is more like 150 years.

Walk into Mario’s any day at lunch hour and it is bustling, understandably so. For their speed and overall high quality Italian food, there is not a better place to go for a lunch break. And grab something for later too. All of the refrigerated and frozen items are labeled and include quality ingredients and zero preservatives. The lasagna and tiramisu made for a great mid-week dinner.

Pop it in the oven for 35 minutes and you’ll feel like your Italian grandma has been cooking all day.

The tiramisu was some of the best I’ve ever had.

The custard was rich and creamy, the spongy lady fingers layered throughout had the perfect texture and the chocolate shavings over the top gave it a sweet finish. I’d go back just for the tiramisu but there are plenty of reasons to revisit Mario’s.

WORK AND GROW

GIVE YOUR MARRIAGE THE ATTENTION IT NEEDS TO THRIVE Dear Patti, Usually Valentine’s Day is a day when I do what I can to please my wife and make her happy, but in truth it doesn’t hold a great deal of meaning to me. This year on Valentine’s Day, my wife Brittany surprised me with loving, thoughtful actions one after the other. To name a few, she canceled the reservation I had made to an expensive restaurant and instead took us to a simple diner, the last place she and I had dinner with my mom, who passed away seven months ago. At the diner Brittany gave me an exquisite handmade book that she had made in tribute to my mother full of memories and pictures of her. It was beautiful and I admit it, I cried. After dinner my wife surprised me again by taking me to my grandmother’s house where she lives with a live-in caretaker. Brittany had bought her roses, new slippers, and a robe, and we stayed and watched a movie with my grandma who was thrilled and very surprised to be visited on Valentine’s Day. My wife never looked more beautiful to me than that night, which then ended with a romantic sexy time in bed together.

I want to show my gratitude. Brittany loves to “work and grow” our marriage. Do you have any ideas on what I can do to further strengthen our relationship?

— Patrick Dear Patrick, Thank you for sharing your story of a beautiful day with your wife. Here’s an idea to help you two stay as close as you felt on Valentine’s Day. Your assignment is for both you and Brittany to write the following five lists and then exchange lists. Go over each item on your spouse’s lists and start incorporating these behaviors that your partner desires into your life together. Start with the easy ones and then move on to the harder ones.

LIST OF POSITIVE BEHAVIORS FROM THE PRESENT: Write down a list of everything your partner does now that you appreciate and want to continue. Be specific about the positive behaviors that give you pleasure. Examples: You bring me coffee in bed in the morning. You kiss me every night before we go to bed. You treat my grandmother as if she was your own.

You call me frequently in the middle of a work day.

LIST FROM THE PAST: Write down a list of behaviors your partner did in the honeymoon phase of your relationship that you would like to see re-incorporated into your life together now. Examples: Send flowers to me at work. Light candles in the bedroom before we make love. Take me out dancing. Take long walks with me.

THE PERFECT PARTNER LIST: Write down a list of all the behaviors you’d choose if your partner’s behavior was exactly tailored for you. Examples: Play chess with me. Go to poetry readings with me. Laugh at my jokes. Watch football.

DREAM TOGETHER LIST: Write a list of your dreams of what you could accomplish together in the future.

Read your dream lists together and unify them as one. Often, when couples dream about the future, they move forward together. Examples: Buy a beach house. Go to Paris. Learn how to sail a boat.

MY NEEDS LIST: Each of you pick the top five needs from the following list that you value as your highest priorities.

To know that I am loved.

To have a satisfying and rewarding sexual life.

To be hugged, caressed, and held.

To be kissed.

To know I’m a vital, valued part of my spouse’s life.

To have a sense of belonging with my partner.

To be respected.

To know I’m a priority and special, above everyone else.

To feel my partner is proud of me.

To be trusted.

These lists are to communicate to each other the behaviors that you both need and want. The process of working on the lists together is meant to draw you closer and to build a deeper sense of connection, commitment, and intimacy. n Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena.

FAMILY FUNDRAISER Walk for Kids helps raise money for families at Ronald McDonald House Participating in the annual Pasadena Walk for Kids is a great way to support one of Pasadena’s most renowned charities— the Ronald McDonald House of Southern California. The home provides free, long-term stays to families of children undergoing extended treatments for a wide array of illnesses, enabling parents and siblings to provide active support and love to hospitalized kids.

This year’s Walk will be held on Sunday, April 7 at Pasadena’s Central Park, located at 275 S. Raymond Ave. But early registration is being encouraged by an impressive and rare prize opportunity: the chance to win seats for 16 people in a Staples Center luxury box during an upcoming 2018-19 season Los Angeles Clippers basketball game.

Those interested in winning the lavish VIP treatment must register by noon this Friday, March 1, at walkforkids.org/site/TR?fr_id=1228&pg=entry/.

The House is hoping to raise $165,000 of its annual $2.25 million budget with the April event, and registration is $25 per individual adult, with a suggested fundraising goal of $500 per entrant. Groups can also register as teams, and every penny raised remains with the Pasadena Ronald McDonald House to help families dealing with local hospitals.

The Walk for Kids will kick off at 8 a.m. April 7 with registration and activities, before a 9 a.m. opening ceremony and the official start of the walk at 9:15 a.m.

Those unable to attend can still register and raise funds as a Virtual Walker of the event. Visit rmhcsc.org.

WONDROUS WEDDINGS Castle Green hosts an open house for engaged couples on Sunday Castle Green has long been one of Pasadena’s most exclusive and romantic hotspots. It’s also one of the Crown City’s top locations for engaged couples to stage their wedding photo shoots and even their actual ceremonies.

That’s why the Castle is the place to be for impending newlyweds from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, when it hosts its annual Wedding and Event Open House at 99 S. Raymond Ave. It is a great way to meet top-notch vetted vendors in a relaxed, fun environment that is perfect for both simple sophisticated weddings or lavish extravaganzas in one of the most historic landmarks of Pasadena.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION Local writer/filmmaker Patricia Cunliffe to offer multimedia presentation The Pueblo Revolt in 1680 might have been one of the most unexpected days in the colonial history of North America, but it has also become one of the most forgotten. Centered around multiple tribes of indigenous peoples led by a Native American named Po’Pay into banding together and chasing Spanish explorers away for 12 years, the revolt helped inspire future generations of Native Americans to maintain their traditions, religions and languages when other settlers inevitably arrived.

Altadena-based writer and filmmaker Patricia Cunliffe, a frequent contributing writer in Pasadena Weekly, has been working for years on a documentary about this unexpected occasion. During Pasadena’s latest ArtNight from 6 to 10 p.m. next Friday, March 8, Cunliffe will deliver a special presentation called “Revolt in America 96 Years Before the American Revolution,” about the revolt and her efforts to commemorate it in the Humanities Wing of the Pasadena Central Library, located at 285 E. Walnut St. Cunliffe will display four art pieces with depictions of the Pueblo Revolt and will project B-rolls of raw footage from the work-in-progress film, including depictions of ruins, Indian dances, Catholic religious rituals and terrain. Paintings, video projections, music, finished edited sequences will all be screened in the library’s Donald R. Wright Auditorium, while two display cases will be filled with items from New Mexico, the territory where the revolt occurred.

Ten Years Gone

LOOKING BACK AT A DECADE WITHOUT ZACHARY MICHAEL CRUZ

A

t 1:47 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 27, 2009, in a Berkeley crosswalk, Zachary Michael Cruz was taken from this world, from us.

I look at one of the many photos from his short life, with his fi ne, light brown hair and baby-toothed smile. “Aged 5 years 11 months” is what the flyer says. Part of a decade of family advocacy for pedestrian safety, the flyer was handed out last Feb. 27 by Berkeley police officers at the intersection where Zachary died, along with tickets, lots of tickets.

The urge to preach here is strong, but I resist. You all know who you are and what you do to deserve tickets — how you endanger the lives of innocent others by the driving choices you make. I don’t need to tell you that.

What you don’t know (unless you do) is what 10 years gone is like. You learn to live with the loss and the pain. But, you live with loss and pain every… single… day. Routine things like getting your surviving children ready for school or watching a movie on the couch comes with that moment when you look at the empty seat and are struck anew with the absence of the child who is no more.

When his cousin and companion celebrates a birthday or plays the French horn in a school concert you are struck by how big or talented he is — just nine months older than Zachary. Every milestone Jeremy celebrates comes with the awareness that Zachary never will have a milestone to reach.

Feb 27 marked the 10th year since Zachary’s death. That is 3,650 days. The surreal nature of those earlier days eventually gave way to gritty realities — an even more intense, ever-depressing awareness that Zachary is gone and never coming back. You must cling to five years and 11 months of memories — all the memories you’ll ever get — as they too fade from the tangible to attenuated iconic imagery. Moments captured in pictures and fi lm. Thank God for the Digital Age. As Plutarch wrote to his wife upon the death of their young daughter, Timoxena;

… just as she was herself the most delightful thing in the world to embrace, to see, to hear, so too must the thought of her live with us and be our companion, bringing with it joy in greater measure, nay in many times greater measure, than it brings sorrow…

Written in the fi rst century, Plutarch’s “Consalatio ad Uxorem” gave comfort to my nephew when his own son died. Perhaps he can imagine Zachary laughing with little Timoxena in some celestial realm where innocent souls go to play. Perhaps it was just comforting to know that some long dead Greek philosopher also knew the immeasurable pain of loss that he was feeling. Perhaps Plutarch reminds us all that time marches on.

Ten years really doesn’t feel like much. Many people can imagine 10 years as the blink of an eye. “Oh, he’s growing up so fast.” or “It feels like that picture was taken yesterday.”

But I challenge you to try and imagine every picture or moment or memory of any one of your loved ones over the past 10 years just gone. Imagine that person was killed 10 years ago. Sit with that concept for one minute, then multiply that by 5,259,492 and you may better understand what 10 years gone is like.■ For an extended version of this story visit pasadenaweekly.com.

STAGED CONCERT READING LETS AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE OPERA-IN-DEVELOPMENT ABOUT LATE FASHION DESIGNER ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

BY BLISS BOWEN

U

ntil his tragic suicide at age 40 in 2010, British fashion designer Alexander McQueen inspired shock, awe and sometimes controversy with his vibrant designs, from his lower-than-low-rise pants for men to his brilliantly hued, marine-inspired manta dresses for women. His runway shows remain legendary in fashion circles (1995’s Scotland-inspired “Highland Rape” scandalized; a Kate Moss hologram floated above a 2006 show), and he designed costumes for dancers and touring musicians, including Bjork and David Bowie. All of which offers essential ingredients for an opera, especially when paired with the dramatic highs and lows of McQueen’s personal life.

This Friday, a staged concert of “The Passion of McQueen,” a new opera still in development, will be presented at Boston Court Pasadena. The score accompanying William Nedved’s libretto, which imagines McQueen’s final hour, was composed by Kentaro Kameyama — a classical pianist best known as a fashion designer, thanks to his 16th-season win on “Project Runway” in 2017.

Director Diana Wyenn explains that the core creative team started workshopping the piece and “mining the opportunities in the libretto” in November. “It keeps evolving.”

A full-scale treatment of “The Passion of McQueen” would incorporate more visual and technology elements to better express McQueen’s design aesthetic, but Friday’s performance will feature only lead vocalist David Castillo, mezzo-soprano Peabody Southwell (singing as McQueen’s mentoring friend Isabella Blow), and Kameyama on piano. Not unlike script-gripping actors who deliver lines of developing plays at Boston Court’s annual New Play Reading Festival, Castillo and Southwell will reference their books in performance. Portions of the piece will be staged, however, and the show will also include a visual installation onstage of several Kameyama-designed creations. Wyenn says they’re excited and grateful to finally get feedback from an audience “and see

SINGING HIS PRAISES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 how this piece resonates.”

Not surprisingly, considering the unconventionality of its subject, “The Passion of McQueen” does not fit into snug categories. It’s more than a recital, but it isn’t a typical, musically uninterrupted opera either.

“It’s not your standard opera by any stretch of the imagination,” Wyenn says with a laugh. “It is very much an opera, but there are book scenes embedded in the piece that move the story forward and deepen the relationship between the characters. We’re pushing on the boundaries of what you would expect of opera, and I think that’s something that’s very necessary.”

For his part, Kameyama considers its nascent mix of music, fashion, theatre, dance, and technology a natural expression of his most “important vision.”

“I want to bring fashion people into music, and I want to bring music people into fashion,” he explains.

“I was a classical pianist, I know fashion people don’t really care about this kind of music; they listen to Lady Gaga and those kind of people, but they’re afraid of going into the classical music which I love, which is something I want to share with everybody.”

Likening it to how he’s tried to bring his Japanese culture into American fashion, Kameyama, who still teaches at FCI Fashion School in downtown LA, says he wants to facilitate more such connections between the realms of classical music and fashion: “I think I should be the one to do that.”

He’s less comfortable when asked to discuss the genesis of “The Passion of McQueen,” making general comments about “going with the flow” and valuing spontaneity over analysis when making art.

“I try to guess and I try to feel and imagine things more than I try to know things,” he says. “I think it’s 16 PASADENA WEEKLY | 02.28.19

more fun. People read about Alexander McQueen and think they know so much about him; but no, really, unless you kind of feel something from his art, it doesn’t mean anything. Information is not knowledge.”

Wyenn more specifically links sensitive aspects of Kameyama’s music and Nedved’s libretto to McQueen’s culturally savvy designs, and points out that the fact that Kameyama is “not as embedded in the world of performance” as the rest of the team makes their work more fun.

“Hearing his thoughts on how this can manifest onstage, and how we can incorporate fashion, is one of the most exciting parts of this collaboration to me,” she says.

“Kentaro’s music is gorgeous, and quite elaborate, and has the underpinnings of things that feel very ornate and kind of classical in a way, yet incredibly contemporary. Which I believe is what McQueen was doing — he was pulling from all these sources and creating something new and shocking and titillating. The other beautiful thing is that William has embedded all of these references to McQueen’s work, to the ‘crack-revealing bumsters,’ and to how he used to sew his own hair into the labels of his clothing.

So even though we are exploring the final hour of his life, we are also honoring and being inspired by all the moments that came before in the work that he crafted.” n “The Passion of McQueen” at Boston Court Pasadena, 70 N.

ADIA VICTORIA, Silences (Atlantic): HHHH

Billie Holiday’s music’s embraced as blues not for structure but her raw feeling. More indie rock than jazz, the mercurial Victoria’s no Holiday but similarly doses girlishness with grit, expressing her blues emotionally more than musically while her lean lyrics sketch complex realities about religion, racism, addiction and desire (“Clean,” “Bring Her Back,” “Dope Queen Blues,” “Get Lonely”) over atmospheric guitar, sticky beats and moody synths. Produced by the National’s Aaron Dessner, “Silences” is more cohesive than 2016’s “Beyond the Bloodhounds,” and shows Victoria finally defining herself instead of defying boundaries imposed by others. At Downtown LA’s Moroccan Lounge Thursday, March 7. adiavictoria.com

Bluegrass, Flamenco, Folk … and Carbon Dividends FOLK AND BLUEGRASS LEGEND HERB PEDERSEN, FLAMENCO/RUMBA DUO CALÉ, AND LOS DOS GRINGOS PERFORM AT CITIZENS’ CLIMATE LOBBY FUNDRAISER AT PIZZA PLACE CALIFORNIA SUNDAY

A

rea string wizards will do their best to render climate change and carbon fees less mysterious to music lovers Sunday night, at a fundraiser for the Citizens’ Climate Lobby at Pizza Place California in San Gabriel. Between performances by bluegrass/country/folk legend Herb Pedersen, flamenco-Latin fusion duo Calé, and organizer Jordan Sollitto’s band Los Dos Gringos, US Rep. Judy Chu (D-Pasadena) will make some remarks. The event will benefit the Pasadena/Foothills chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby and the nonpartisan, nonprofit policy advocacy group’s headquarters in Washington, DC. The thread connecting that eclectic crew is Sollitto, a guitarist and San Marino resident who serves on the local CCL chapter’s steering committee, and who has performed often with Calé guitarist Jose Prieto as well as Pedersen. Locals may recognize Prieto and bandmate Victor Torres from lively past appearances at Bar Celona in Old Town Pasadena; they will follow Los Dos Gringos’ opening with a short instrumental set. Los Dos Gringos will then accompany Pedersen during the evening’s second half.

Pedersen barely needs introduction. Over the course of five decades the Berkley-born guitarist/banjoist has been as renowned for his instrumental dexterity as for his sublime harmony singing, and his credits read like a bluegrass, country, folk and rock Who’s Who: Jackson Browne, the Dillards, Dan Fogelberg, David Grisman, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Gram Parsons, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Vern & Ray — not to mention collaborations with lifelong pal Chris Hillman and their Desert Rose Band. Here’s hoping Pedersen plays “Wait a Minute,” a longtime staple of live shows, and considers resurrecting his bittersweet version of Carter Stanley’s “The Fields Have Turned Brown.”

Sollitto’s connections to Pedersen and Prieto made it easier to pull together Sunday’s gathering, whose three-pronged goal includes enhancing awareness of climate change — and H.R. 763, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Sponsored by Chu, who is part of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in Congress, the “revenue neutral” bill aims to drive down fossil fuel emissions by 40

percent in 12 years via a marketfriendly equation of carbon fees and dividends. In the wake of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s bombshell October report, H.R. 763’s 12-year framework is noteworthy.

“Judy will talk about the bill — briefly; she doesn’t want to put people to sleep,” Sollitto jokes.

More seriously, he adds, “We want to thank her for (sponsoring) it.

“What we do locally is to raise awareness,” he explains.

“Our Washington headquarters team [is] lobbying members of Congress. Secondary to raising money is to inform people who might not be well informed about H.R. 763, which is why Citizens’ Climate Lobby will have a table there and people to talk about it.

“And we’ll all be there to just have some fun.” n Fundraiser for Pasadena/Foothills chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby at Pizza Place California, 303 S. Mission Drive, San Gabriel, 5:30-8:30 p.m. Sunday, March 3.

Admission is free for diners; 40 percent of monies raised via dinner and drink sales will be donated to CCL. Venue info: (626) 570-9622. citizensclimatelobby.org, energyinnovationact.org, herbpedersen.com, joseprietomusic.com, facebook.com/ LosDosTheBand, pizzaplaceca.com

CARSIE BLANTON, Buck Up (So Ferocious): HHHH

A sly charmer seamlessly blending pop hooks, jazz attitude and topicality. “That Boy,” the New Orleansbased songwriter swears in spring-clear tones: “Got a filthy mouth/ Somebody’s mama oughtta wash it out/ Gotta kiss like summer in the Dirty South.”

“Bed” recalls “Tuesday Night Music Club”-era Sheryl Crow over a swampy guitar lick and barroom piano while bemoaning money woes, lying lovers, and politics, while the sirens, horns, fingersnaps and doghouse bass of “Twister” suggest a memorable after-hours jam. Blanton opens for the Wood Brothers at the Fonda in Hollywood Tuesday, March 2. carsieblanton.com

SUGARAY RAYFORD, Somebody Save Me (Forty Below): HHH

The gospel-schooled blues singer’s well served by his band (Mavis Staples guitarist Rick Holmstrom, Richard Thompson bassist Taras Prodaniuk, Jakob Dylan drummer Matt Tecu) and producer/songwriter Eric Corne. Steeped in funk and ’60s soul (the horndriven “You and I” is a joyful highlight), the album showcases Rayford’s burly delivery and Corne, braiding grooves with conscience on standouts like taut rocker “Dark Night of the Soul” and “Time to Get Movin’”: “I’m tired of all these talkin’ heads with their messages of hate/ Everything’s not black and white, there’s different shades of gray/ We need to come together now before it’s all too late.” At the Mint in LA March 8. sugarayrayford.com

CATHERINE RUSSELL, Alone Together (Dot Time): HHH½

The veteran stylist swings through a delicious set of standards and obscurities, accompanied by invaluable guitarist/musical director Matt Munisteri and a tasteful combo. Arrangements of Louis Jordan’s “Early in the Morning” and “Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby” sparkle, and deeper delights emerge with songbag rescues like the big band-era “Shake Down the Stars,” rarely performed blues “He May Be Your Dog But He’s Wearing My Collar,” and Walter Bullock and Richard Whiting’s wondrous “When Did You Leave Heaven,” rendered with savory melodic reverence. catherinerussell.net

Jackson Kendall and Larry Eisenberg in Tuesdays with Morrie

Weekly Wisdom CLASSIC MEMOIR ‘TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE’ COMES TO LIFE AT SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

Many of us have been blessed with a mentor or older friend, a person who took the time to show us the ropes on handling all manner of life situations. For nationally renowned sportscaster and journalist Mitch Albom, that mentor was his beloved sociology professor at Brandeis University, Morrie Schwartz, whom he promised to keep in touch with after graduation.

But as happens with most people, that promise went for naught — until years later, when Albom saw Morrie on an episode of ABC’s “Nightline,” discussing how he maintained his zest for life while battling Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Albom finally made good on his promise by flying out to visit Morrie every Tuesday, resulting in a profoundly moving friendship that Albom enshrined in the bestselling memoir “Tuesdays with Morrie” before adapting it as both a hit TV movie and a longrunning stage show.

The theatrical version of “Morrie” is currently being produced at the Sierra Madre Playhouse through March 31. According to director L. Flint Esquerra, as America’s population has aged since Albom wrote the book in 1997 to cover Morrie’s medical expenses, the book has grown to become more relevant than ever.

“Audience members bring their own experience to this, from their own friendships across generations and dealing with death,” says Esquerra.

“The central journey, the message, the wisdom, the knowledge comes from that connection. Even though Mitch had found some success as a sports reporter, when he reconnects with his old professor, he really learns many important things from him. Even the commitment he makes to visit every Tuesday helps him find very important things in life.”

18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 02.28.19

While Esquerra is directing at the Playhouse for the first time, he has previously worked with its star, Larry Eisenberg, at North Hollywood’s Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theater, where Eisenberg both acts and serves as its artistic director.

For his part, Eisenberg has found playing the title role in “Morrie” to be a profoundly personal experience because of having successfully battled cancer.

“Part of what makes this role so special with me is I have had some medical issues myself this past year and have been dealing with my personal recovery and recuperation and have seen firsthand how much an individual’s zest for life has on the healing process,” says Eisenberg. “The ability to accept someone and face them and life joyfully and with generosity and giving is important. For a story about death it’s tremendously life-affirming, and as a cancer survivor I can say it’s beautiful and I’m able to bring my personal experience into this and reaffirm the qualities of it. “‘Morrie’ is the largest selling memoir ever published in the world, and it’s especially huge in China and Asia,” adds Eisenberg. “That really surprised me, the kind of reach this book has had. I think it’s the idea that the teacher-student relationship and honoring the lessons you get from elders that carried over to that part of the world and makes it universal. I spent most of my life as an actor waiting to become an old Jew and now I’m there and have the life experiences ready to play lots of them.” n “Tuesdays with Morrie” runs through March 31 at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W.

STUNNING DOCUMENTARY ‘APOLLO 11’ TAKES VIEWERS INTO THE US RACE TO THE MOON

F

or those who grew up on “Star Trek” and “Star Wars,” it might be difficult to imagine the enormity of the Apollo 11 mission. But a few movies and TV programs are attempting to take us back to those heady days when the US won the race to reach the moon.

Following in the wake of the Oscar-winning biopic “First Man,” about astronaut Neil Armstrong, the mustsee documentary “Apollo 11” uses archival footage in a way that serves as a good lead-in for the July PBS “American Experience” special six-hour film, “Chasing the Moon.” Both are essential parts of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing.

In 1969, NASA was on a tight schedule. Apollo 9 was launched to test the lunar module in March and safely returned. Apollo 10 was launched in May and flew to within 15,400 miles of the moon’s surface. On July 16, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were launched into space on Apollo 11 for an eight-day, threehour mission that changed the world.

In a phone interview, director Todd Douglas Miller relates that he was “negative 7” during the Apollo 11 mission. Born in Columbus, Ohio, he grew up in the age of the shuttle, attending third grade when the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger ended with the death of all seven crew members.

The Apollo missions were a remnant of presidential Camelot. In a May 25, 1961 address to Congress, President John F. Kennedy proposed the goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth by the end of the decade. However, the Apollo missions began with a disaster. The 1967 Apollo 1 never flew after a cabin fire killed all three crew members.

A native of the Buckeye state, Miller explains he was made aware of the Ohio-born Neil Armstrong and John Glenn, yet only had a casual interest in space while growing up. When his company began going through the NASA and National Archives to re-scan and digitize 16 and 35 mm film related to the Apollo 11 mission, this documentary coalesced because they had what he calls the “surprise of the century for us or at least the last 50 years,” with the research team finding large format film that had been untouched.

The digitization of that footage involved three years of intensive work that was anxiety-driven because the rare film had to be transported out of Washington, DC 20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 02.28.19

and up to Miller’s facilities in New York. While Miller confesses that “I didn't sleep until it was back in cold storage,” he got more help along the way.

For instance, an obsessive Apollo 11 fan named Stephen Slater had been lip synching mission control footage to the recorded audio. As people in the space community “caught wind of our project and started giving us materials,” the task then became winnowing down the materials to a 90-minute final film.

Some of the extra footage will be made available later.

The film is divided up into days and while we don’t get much information about the families, Miller flashes quick montages to give us a sense of who these three men were, at least in the eyes of the public. The documentary has unexpected delights.

We get a glimpse of JoAnn Morgan, the first female engineer at NASA in the first firing room. We also see Frances “Poppy” Northcutt, a Texas attorney who was the first female engineer to work in NASA’s Mission Control during the Apollo Program. While she’s not highlighted in this documentary, she is extensively interviewed in the upcoming PBS special, "Chasing the Moon."

You'll also see faces of color, including an AfricanAmerican man who analyzed the daily radiation levels of the astronauts. Simple white outlines on a black background help explain the mechanics of the mission.

Miller says these illustrations were inspired by similar cel animation in a 1970 documentary, “Moonwalk One.” “I decided that if the tech guys love it and my mother loves it, this is definitely the way to go,” says Miller.

Miller thought writer-director Damien Chazelle did a fantastic job on “First Man,” and he used many of the same technical advisers. If you were one of those who groused about the lack of flag-planting in “First Man,” don’t worry. You'll see it in this documentary.

Miller recommends seeing “Apollo 11” in IMAX, but if you miss the special one-week run in IMAX beginning Friday, March 1, you can still see it on the big screen starting March 8, when the film widens to regular screenings. You’ll also get a second chance in July when this movie will be re-released, along with other moon landing and space-related events celebrating the 50th anniversary. n

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/10/2005.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

Trustor: DELIA CENTENO, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Duly Appointed Trustee: Zieve, Brodnax & Steele, LLP Deed of Trust recorded 6/20/2005, as Instrument No. 05 1436574, The subject Deed of Trust was modified by Loan Modification Agreement recorded as Instrument 20130859054 and recorded on 6/10/2013, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, Date of Sale: 3/14/2019 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: Vineyard Ballroom, Doubletree Hotel Los AngelesNorwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $738,062.91 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3560 FAIRMEADE RD PASADENA, California 91107-3012 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust.

A.P.N #.: 5757-016-021 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than

one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 18-52937. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
