I’m a 24-year-old software engineer who is already witnessing the effects of climate change in my life.

A resolution for a bold solution, the Green New Deal, has been proposed by US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and US Sen. Ed Markey where they call for a World War II mobilization to completely reshape our economy and our society at the scale science demands to prevent this catastrophe, all the while creating millions of jobs in the process.

To be clear, according to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we have: 3,976 days, or 568 weeks, or 142 months or 11 years and 1 chance to stop the climate crisis.

And yet we wait for you: US Reps.

UNDERHANDED TACTICS Of all the wall nonsense Trump has come up with, “human wall” might be the most absurd.

A “human wall,” in different words, is “border patrol.” The bottom line is Trump doesn’t know what he wants but wants it now, and is demanding that others jump through hoops to come up with some thread that he and his henchmen can spin as a success. To that end, Trump is willing to use extortion or other underhanded tactics. To put

things in perspective; withholding disaster aid for wildfires, no big deal; but refugees seeking asylum, well that’s a national emergency.

Outrageous.

And it’s not just Trump who is the culprit. Republicans are complicit. They have even spouted the talking point — paraphrasing — that $5 billion for the wall isn’t too much to ask for, it’s only one-tenth of 1 percent of the federal budget.

In essence, they are saying it’s OK to waste taxpayer money on a political stunt because it’s just chump change. And they claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility? Vote their asses out! ~ DAN JACOBS VIA EMAIL

FOUR BORDERS Ladies and gentlemen, it is amazing how media pundits and millions of ordinary folks out there believe we have only two borders.

Anyone who believes we have only two borders (Canada and Mexico) is either not using their brains to think with or they are lacking a proper education. We have four borders, folks, not two!

There is the Pacific Ocean border and the Atlantic Ocean border. For what purpose do I make

this point, you might ask?

The purpose is this: President Trumpet wants to build ONE wall (actually a fence and not, repeat, NOT a wall). Protecting one border is truly stupid folks, to the Nth degree! How are you going to protect the Atlantic Ocean border and the Pacific Ocean border? Is our entertainer-in-chief going to build a fence in either of the two oceans, along our enormous coast lines? I think not. Not now, not ever.

So, how are these two gigantic ocean borders going to be protected, to keep illegals out? Your guess, ladies and gentlemen, is better than mine. ~ JOHN JAY VIA EMAIL

A NEW WAY I believe that over the next three to five years, hundreds of thousands of Californians will flee the state. The never-ending tax and overall cost of living increases have squeezed the middle class — and the wealthy who pay around 50 percent of their income in taxes — to the breaking point. The political decision to allow open borders, regardless of whether they are criminals or not, with housing, health care, education, and food paid for by taxpayers, is too much for many people (not to mention the thousands of “nonviolent” criminals released from prison).

I have lived in Northern California since 1986. I remember the days of great roads, schools, state tax rebates, and government that worked for the people. Those days are long gone. I have started a Facebook Group called Leaving California. Membership in the closed group is growing by 100 percent a month. So many people are moving to “sane” states where they can safely raise their families, in great school districts, with a manageable costs of living.

I’d be happy to discuss further with you. Feel free to reach out.

Thanks! ~ TERRY GILLIAM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

•HUTCHINSON REPORT•

BY EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON

NOT SO FAST

TRUMP WILL SERVE OUT THIS TERM, AND MAYBE ANOTHER

F

rom the moment President Trump set foot in the White House the mantra of much of the media, many Democrats, and Trump loathers of all stripes was that he likely would not fi nish his term. He will, take your pick: be impeached and resign under pressure; get so fed up with the attacks, infighting and backbiting that he’ll quit; or he’ll bail out due to health problems. This is the third year of his administration and every one of these predictions has proven wrong.

Trump will serve out his term, and maybe a second one. Here’s why.

The Mueller Report. There will be nothing in the report that directly implicates Trump in colluding with Russian operatives to sabotage the 2016 presidential election. There will be nothing in the report that will directly link him to obstruction of justice or any other illegal activity connected with the election. The report will detail much circumstantial evidence of tampering and collusion and various types of wrongdoing. But the fi nger pointing will be at Trump associates for their roles in criminal activities. The report that the public and House Democrats see will likely be redacted.

Impeachment. This was a pipe dream from day one. The bar is simply too high. Even if the plausible case can be made that Trump committed an offense that meets the fuzzy constitutional standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” House Democratic leaders, mainly Nancy Pelosi, have dropped long and loud hints that an impeachment move is not going to happen. That’s in part because it’s just too politically risky and could backfi re on the Democrats.

And, in any event, the GOP-controlled Senate would instantly kill it.

Trump’s Popularity. Much has been made that Trump’s popularity scores consistently hover under 50 percent and that his bread and butter base of white, male, rural, blue collar, less-educated voters are way too narrow for him to win again. However, it’s not his base’s alleged small numbers, but where those numbers are located, and they are in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Those five states either have GOP governors or Republicancontrolled legislatures or strong legislative blocs.

Democratic Contenders. They all would handily win California, New York and the handful of other Democratic states. This again could pose the same conundrum that it did for Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. They won the popular vote, but still lost the White House. The Electoral College insures that. The only Democratic presidential contender who can either compete with Trump for his crucial demographic or at best neutralize him with them will likely be a centrist, moderate Democrat from a heartland state.

The problem, though, is that as surveys have shown it isn’t just Trump’s economic message of bringing jobs back that got them on his bandwagon. It was his pandering to racial and immigrant fears that touched a nerve with many of them. It’s this same nerve that makes them defiantly shrug off every mention of Trump’s blatant personal and political malfeasance, as if to say “so what.” Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will be hard-pressed to crack that sentiment even with voters who may like what they have to say.

The Economy. Trump will continue to claim that he put America back to work. It’s a lie, but the reality is that when there’s perceived economic good times the man in the White House benefits politically. History shows that it’s still pretty much the economy that drives voter perceptions of whether a sitting president should remain in the White House.

Trump will have a united, nasty and manipulative GOP behind him, a king’s campaign war chest and the continued slavish infatuation of the mass media with any and every silly, insipid, inflammatory tweet and crack by him. He’ll also again have millions of dollars in free air time that would overwhelm anything the Democrats could counter with.

This is not to say that Trump is a shoo-in for another term. Much can happen in the months in the run-up to November 2020. But it is to say that, at least for now, Trump doesn’t appear to be going anywhere this term, and maybe another. ■

the county Agricultural Commissioner to evaluate the county’s use of herbicides and pesticides.

“Our office will closely monitor the study and make recommendations based on their findings,” Bell said in an email to the Pasadena Weekly.

Roundup is the world’s most popular weed killer. In March 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said the key ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

The classification of glyphosate as a possible carcinogen has come under attack since then by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which does not consider the chemical a carcinogen, chemical manufacturing giant Monsanto, makers of Roundup, and others in the agriculture industry.

In a case related to the impact that Roundup use has on food products, in February 2018 a federal judge temporarily ruled against the state’s attempts to require cancer warnings be placed on food

The victim of a fatal stabbing that forced a police lockdown of a wide area of Pasadena may have been killed after he told the suspect that he couldn’t help the wife with her drug problem.

Telly Johnson Telly Johnson, 42, was arrested on Friday night in Los Angeles and booked on suspicion of murdering Byron Young Nettles, 48.

Johnson pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Tuesday in Pasadena. He is being held on $2 million bail.

According to police, Johnson fatally stabbed Nettles shortly after 9 a.m. Friday, March 1, in the 100 block of South Euclid Avenue. Nettles was rushed to Huntington Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He later died from his wounds.

Nettles managed the Euclid Villa Transition Housing facility, a 14-unit apartment complex that offers housing and programs for families transitioning out of homelessness.

Nettles’ wife T’Shawn Demethris told KCAL TV, Channel 9 that her husband of 22 years was a very kind man who helped all he could, but when he told the suspect he did not have the power to help the man’s wife with her drug addiction the man flew into a rage and attacked him.

“He didn’t make it,” she said. “He didn’t make it. They tried. They were the best. He was a good person and a great father. He was just so helpful to everybody.”

Low-income families are allowed to stay two years at the facility and are required to pay 30 percent of their income for rent. Case management and supportive services are provided on site. The facility is owned and operated by Union Station Homeless Services and Pacific Housing Alliance.

One witness told KCAL that she saw the killer stab Nettles in the face and chest with a switchblade knife after a fistfight.

“The perpetrator definitely was not a resident at the location,” said Union Station Spokesperson Dana Bean. “We are all incredibly devastated by the tragic death of Byron Nettles. We believe his attacker was someone he knew personally and that this was a private, family conflict. There were no residents or staff of Union Station involved in the incident.”

CHEMICAL ROUNDUP COUNTY SPRAYS CONTROVERSIAL WEED KILLER LINKED TO CANCER IN NORTHEAST PASADENA

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

I

n an effort to kill vegetation growing near a heliport in Northeast Pasadena, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW) has sprayed a controversial herbicide that is considered a carcinogen by state environmental standards.

According to a local resident, the DPW is spraying Roundup, an easily obtainable herbicide containing glyphosate, a chemical that is either banned or restricted in communities in 13 states, including California, in an area near Eaton Canyon.

“We live near the debris basin just adjacent to the Eaton Canyon Golf Course, and one day I noticed it was turning blue,” said local resident Darian Donner. Donner lives near a hiking trail used by local residents, golfers and dog owners.

“I stopped this truck and I asked them what they were spraying, and they said Roundup,” Donner said.

Tony Bell, communications director for LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, said officials with the county Public Health Department and the Department of Public Works met Tuesday with

NEW CROWN

ROSE QUEEN NAMED WOMAN OF THE YEAR

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

State Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Canada) has named Rose Queen Louise Deser Siskel the 25th Senate District’s 2019 Woman of the Year.

Louise Deser Siskel “I am grateful to Sen. Anthony Portantino for nominating me for the California Legislative Women’s Caucus Woman of the Year Award,” Siskel said. “I feel lucky to be honored among a group of truly dedicated women who make the world a more kind and welcoming place. This year, as the 101st Rose Queen, I had the opportunity to promote scientific research, education, and inclusion. This recognition encourages me, and I hope will encourage others, to advocate for these values.”

Siskel came out as bisexual in a column in the Los Angeles Times on New Year’s Eve. “[I]n this new, very public position, I feel it’s important to present myself authentically, especially to those who look to the Royal Court as a representation of our community,” wrote Siskel. “While I am almost certainly not the first member of the LGBTQ community on the court, I hope that by saying so publicly, I might encourage others to be proud of who they are.”

In February, Siskel appeared at the Pasadena City Council and spoke in favor of the city remaining on track to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020.

Later that month, members of the controversial anti-gay, anti-Semitic Westboro Baptist Church protested against Siskel at Sequoyah High School in West Pasadena.

“I am very honored and excited that Louise has to come to Sacramento to represent our district. She has distinguished herself as an amazing leader, not just displaying poise while the entire world watched her in the Rose Parade but through her trailblazing leadership. She embraced the responsibility of being selected Rose Queen with a bold civic agenda, impressed everyone who has encountered her during this past year and exemplified intelligence, confidence and maturity,” Portantino said in a prepared statement.

Each year, members of the Legislature recognize the exceptional women in their district with a celebration commemorating their accomplishments and positive impact on our communities, said Yvonne Vasquez, a spokesperson for Portantino.

“This year, Sen. Portantino is honored that Ms. Siskel has agreed to proudly represent the 25th Senate District.” Vasquez said. n

‘RIGHT PLACES, RIGHT TIMES’

PARSONS MOVING HEADQUARTERS TO VIRGINIA

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Officials with the Parsons Corp. announced last week that the company will move its headquarters from Pasadena to Chuck Harrington Virginia in order to be closer to clients in the Washington, DC area.

According to a company spokesperson, Parsons corporate headquarters will be relocated “effective immediately” to a facility in Centreville, Virginia, about an hour’s drive from downtown Washington.

“Parsons’ position as a world leader in defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure is the result of more than seven decades of strategic planning and investment,” said Chuck Harrington, Parsons chairman and CEO in a prepared statement. “Our strategic actions over the past 10 years, including acquisitions, have led to the Washington metropolitan area having Parsons’ largest concentration of employees worldwide. The move of our corporate headquarters to the Washington area will support this concentration of employees in the region.”

Being in Northern Virginia, Harrington said, gives us more opportunities to be in the right places, at the right times, with the right people driving the future of our markets.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, the company already has 2,400 employees in Washington. Parsons employees 500 people in Pasadena and 2,000 in California.

Those employees will not be asked to relocate .

Parsons, which makes about $3.6 billion a year, provides cyber/converged security, technology-based intellectual property, and other innovative services to federal, regional, and local government agencies, as well as to private industrial customers.

The firm has more than 16,000 employees across 24 countries and spanning four continents.

Parsons was founded by Ralph M. Parsons. Beginning in 1944, Parsons provided process engineering, facility design, construction services and operated various jet propulsion facilities — nuclear, chemical, and heavy fuels. It also delivered electronics, instrumentation, and ground checkout systems design and engineering for aircraft, missiles and rockets.

Parsons sold its 22.7-acre property on Walnut Street to Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing and Lincoln Property Co. for $320 million in 2011, but was still housed in the 12-story building. The employees in Pasadena will continue working in that building.

Plans for the remaining property by Lincoln Property and AMLI Residential call for multiple mid-rise structures across 6.4 acres, featuring 400 residential units and 210,000 square feet of office space above 17,500 square feet of retail and underground parking, according to urbanize.la. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.07.19

CHEMICAL ROUNDUP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

products that contain traces of glyphosate.

However, US District Judge William Shubb’s injunction left glyphosate on the list required by the 1986 Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act as a “chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer.”

In April, a state appellate court found that the state can require labeling of products containing glyphosate herbicide as toxic under the state drinking water law, also known as Proposition 65. Proposition 65, according to efficientgov.com, a San Francisco-based information collection service that tracks fiscal and operational challenges facing cities and towns, requires notification and labeling of all chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and prohibits their discharge into drinking water.

In August, six months after the federal court ruling, a state civil court jury found that Roundup was responsible for a school groundskeeper’s terminal cancer. Dewayne Johnson was spraying the chemical 20 to 30 times a year while working at a school district near San Francisco. According to CNN, more than 800 other people are suing Monsanto, claiming Roundup gave them cancer.

In an email to Noreen Sullivan, field representative for Councilman Gene Masuda, who represents eastern Pasadena, Hu Yi, Los Angeles County Public Works senior civil engineer, said the spraying is only being done a few times a year to stop vegetation from growing near a heliport in the Sierra Madre Debris Basin.

“The basin is a unique facility because the crest of the hillside serves as a heliport with the capacity to hold two helicopters at a time,” said Yi. The use of Roundup by the city of Pasadena was stopped in areas where people recreate and congregate in 2017, and discontinued altogether last year, said City Manager Steve Mermell.

All told, there are local and state government glyphosate restrictions or bans in place in 13 states.

Other California cities to take action on use of the herbicide include: Los Angeles, where in 2017 the city Recreation and Parks Department stopped spraying the weed killer within 100 feet of children’s play areas, recreation centers and dog parks; Burbank, which discontinued the use of Roundup in city parks for one year, and the Burbank Unified School District, which stopped using the herbicide due to cancer concerns; Carlsbad, which adopted a policy that makes organic pesticides the preferred method for killing weeds; neighboring beach city Encinitas, which banned the use of Roundup and other glyphosate-based weed killers in city parks; Irvine, which has stopped spraying Roundup and other glyphosate-based herbicides; and Thousand Oaks, which has a ban on glyphosate use on public golf courses. Petaluma officials are considering a ban on glyphosate for use in public parks, according to efficientgov.com, and Richmond has banned the use of glyphosate for all weed abatement activities conducted by the city.

Despite all the calls to ban the product, Roundup can be purchased at most local hardware stores.

“It is one of the only heliports of its size in the area and it is frequently used as a filling station for water-

dropping helicopters used in aerial firefighting,” Yi explained of the need to clear the heliport area of vegetation.

“This area must remain clear of vegetation and obstructions at all times per Fire Department guidelines,” he continued. “Use of herbicides for vegetation management is a cost-effective means to improve visibility along the public rights-of-way, reduce fire hazards, facilitate infrastructure inspections, prevent rodent infestations and to keep them functioning as designed.”

Although in a phone conversation Yi acknowledged Roundup was being used in the area, and that such spraying was conducted up to three times a year, the email does not mention the herbicide by name.

However, it does state that spraying of the herbicide is canceled when the wind exceeds five mph or if there is a forecast of rain within the next 24 hours. According to Donner, spraying was done on Feb. 27, when rain was in the immediate forecast.

The site where the weed killer is used is also supposed to be monitored to ensure members of the public are not in the location of spray prior to, during, and immediately after the application, according to the email.

“When I asked them what they were spraying, I was right in front of them at the gate and no one told me I couldn’t be there,” said Donner.

“We only use herbicides that are approved by both Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the California Environmental Protection Agency,” Yi said in the email. “The herbicides used do not pose a threat to humans, animals, or insects when used according to the product label. Applications of herbicides are not sprayed directly into water and where there is a possibility it could come into contact with water, then we use an herbicide approved for aquatic use.”

Last year, US Rep. Adam Schiff called for a ban of Roundup after it was discovered the weed killer was being sprayed along and in the LA River. According to a story in the Los Angeles Daily News, Schiff asked Col. Kirk E. Gibbs, district commander of the Los Angeles District US Army Corps of Engineers, to “end its use of products containing glyphosate as part of the (Los Angeles River) vegetation management plan in favor of safe alternatives.”

Pasadena city officials have also fought to stop the use of dangerous chemicals in local communities. In 1990, Pasadena city officials filed a legal brief in support of the lawsuit by Los Angeles, Glendale and Burbank seeking to stop state helicopters from bombarding homes with the pesticide malathion to eradicate the Mediterranean fruit fly.

For former Pasadena Mayor Bill Paparian, who helped lead the city’s fight against the spraying of malathion to eradicate crop-destroying fruit flies in early 1990, expressed concern over the county spraying Roundup in Pasadena.

“Portugal and Italy, as well as Vancouver, Canada have banned the use of the chemical in public parks and gardens. My family and I have lived in the immediate neighborhood where LA County has been spraying Roundup. Obviously I am deeply concerned over the potential health risks,” Paparian said. n

STARDUST FORMER WRITERS GUILD PREZ VICTORIA RISKIN DISCUSSES NEW BIOGRAPHY OF PARENTS ‘FAY WRAY AND ROBERT RISKIN: A HOLLYWOOD MEMOIR’ AT VROMAN’S

BY BLISS BOWEN

E

arly arl ar ly in ly i n Vi Victoria ctor ct tor oriia ia Riskin’s Ris iski isk k i n’ n’s biography of her parents, “Fay Memoir,”” she Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir recalls building a snowman at age 3 with her brother Bobby and their father, screenwriter Robert Riskin. For years, she writes, she imagined her mother “was in the kitchen having the cook prepare the hot chocolate to warm us when we came in, or rearranging the living room rugs and furniture for an evening of square dancing that was all the rage in the late 1940s, or readying a dinner party for the friends who regularly came to our house: Jack Benny, Rosalind Russell, Ronald Colman, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Irving Berlin, Harpo Marx, Darryl Zanuck, Edward G. Robinson.” But Wray was behind a Leica camera, in that rare snow, recording the family happiness she had fi nally, gratefully found.

Pop culture enshrines Wray as the blonde love object of “King Kong” in the iconic 1933 fi lm. But the Utah innocent who arrived in Los Angeles at 14 emerges from her daughter’s pages as a kind, good-natured trooper. The script for 1933’s “The Bowery” called for costar George Raft to slap Wray — a move he reluctantly repeated through 20 takes until, with Wray’s “eyes watering, her face bright red and her ears ringing,” director Raoul Walsh was satisfied. “King Kong” director Merian C. Cooper ordered her to “scream for your life” into a microphone for “eight uninterrupted hours” until he caught the desired pitch.

Wray couldn’t speak for weeks afterward. That year, she became “Founding Member #1475 of the Screen Actors Guild.”

The witty, progressive-minded Riskin, whose parents had fled anti-Semitic repression in what is now Belarus for New York in 1891, was active in Depression-era organizing efforts for what ultimately became the Screen Writers Guild. He was at the beginning of his collaboration with Italian-born director Frank Capra, which yielded such legendary fi lms as “Meet John Doe” and the Oscar-winning “It Happened One Night.” In conversation Victoria describes parties where the two men rolled around like clowns, and the “incredible elegance and fun” as well as “rich political conversation and artistic conversation” that prevailed in her parents’ intellectual social circle.

“This “Thi “T his group off people were great raconteurs,” says Victoria, who from 2001 to 2004 served as president of the Writers Guild of America, West, the union her father helped create. “They were bright, they were imaginative, energetic, optimistic. Even in the Depression they loved the country. Cooper was a Republican all his life, because he understood how bad Stalin was, and he’d been a prisoner in Russia, and my father was a liberal and loved FDR and was very worried about Hitler.

The country was very divided. But people were not as divided as they became after World War II when the blacklist descended upon Hollywood, or as they are seemingly right now. It was interesting to me that Riskin and Capra worked well together even though Capra was a conservative, and the theme of the little guy and the common man and the belief in the basic goodness of others and helping others was all Riskin; it was not Capra at all. But Capra was a wonderful director and he knew a good story and could bring it to life on fi lm.”

Falling in love shortly after Pearl Harbor, Wray and Riskin’s touching, romantic letters express recognition of their good fortune. Wray’s fi rst husband, philandering screenwriter John Monk Saunders, had spent her money, kidnapped their daughter Susan, and sold their house; the warm, stable Riskin, who’d previously dated Carole Lombard and Loretta Young, was elated to have fi nally found someone with whom he could be emotionally intimate. In one amusing passage, he races from Los Angeles to Barstow to Pasadena to meet Wray’s train, flowers and heart in hand. They married in August 1942, after Wray proposed, and Riskin adopted Susan.

“I don’t think I say this in the book: When she married him, she said, ‘I am not sure how long I’m going to have him and I want to be with him every moment I can and to make his life as easy and happy as I can,’” Victoria recalls.

“That was the sense she had.”

The book’s most intriguing sections detail the diplomatic Riskin’s stewardship of the Office of War Information’s overseas bureau — work even Victoria didn’t fully grasp until the team behind Peter Miller’s excellent 2014 documentary “Projections of America” asked her to dig into her father’s fi les. She says Riskin’s OWI work has been “lost to history” because too many books about Hollywood’s war effort have relied on a “limited set of documents” and recycled stories — and that’s “astounding,” because his OWI fi lms were “so much more impactful, larger in scope and more sensitive than anything else.”

Some of those fi lms (e.g., “The Cummington Story”) survive on YouTube.

Victoria, a former Human Rights Watch international board member, calls them “propaganda of the gentlest kind,” designed to educate overseas audiences about American life and democratic ideals. Acknowledging that “propaganda” is “a very loaded term,” she defends the convictions of her father, who suffered a partially paralyzing stroke in 1950 and died at 58 in 1955. (Wray died at 96 in 2004.) He believed that foreign audiences would love America if they loved American fi lms.

“Telling stories that elevate the human spirit to reflect simple things of life in an appreciative way … really set the stage about how you feel about yourself as a culture and a community. Those are fi lms designed to influence — is that bad?

Or is that OK? I think it’s a worthy conversation, especially in an era of ‘fake news’ and spinning information.” ■ Victoria Riskin discusses “Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir” at Vroman’s, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 7. Info: (626) 449-5320. Victoriariskin.com, vromansbookstore.com 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.07.19

PIZZA BOY OFFERS VEGAN AS WELL AS MEAT AND CHEESE PIES AND SANDWICHES

While every day seems to bring new dining fads that take over our newsfeeds and office conversations, there is one that is here to stay: the vegan diet.

I personally venture out and eat vegan or vegetarian options quite often and am always excited to see how they hold up compared to the “real” thing I’m accustomed to eating.

For this reason, I visited Pizza Boy in Glendale recently. While they have a large menu with plenty of meaty and cheesy nonvegan options, they also have one of the most extensive lists of vegan pizzas I’ve ever seen, not to mention plenty of positive buzz online.

The restaurant doesn’t look like your typical red and white checkered pizza joint. Located off of Colorado Street, it is modern with dark wooden tables and booths, and has a large bar upon entering where guests can sit and drink.

While I knew prior to arriving they have a couple of different pizza crust options, I didn’t realize the extent. One of the walls inside the restaurant features all of them: the popular cauliflower crust, flax seed, zucchini, sweet potato, brown rice, almond, beet and broccoli, each boasting about its health benefits, such as “slow down aging.” Who knew you could eat pizza crust made of zucchini and fight wrinkles at the same time?

The highlight of the night was one of the dishes we ordered to start, and it seems to be one of the most popular items on their menu overall. We ordered the Ajarski Khachapuri ($8.75), which is a Georgian dish made of leavened bread filled with cheese and eggs. My dining partner ordered the small size with one egg, but it is also served in large (2 eggs) or extralarge (3 eggs). The khachapuri is served with a side of butter,

HILL STREET CAFÉ 1004 Foothill Blvd., La Canada Flintridge 818-952-1019 hillstreetcafelacanada.com $$ Hill Street Café is celebrating over 25 years of serving the community quality meals made of quality ingridients. we want to thank all of you who stuck with us during the remodeling process and we want to welcome back everyone else. in our recent remodel, we have added an outdoor patio, a bar and more dining area, we have created a relaxed ambience with a touch of modern but still retaining our extensive menu, our friendly service and most important a family atmosphere.

and we were told to dip it in, mix, then tear off the bread and dip that into the egg to eat as you go. While not my cup of tea during dinner time, it was fantastic — perfectly gooey, cheesy, and the right amount of filling. They even offer an Ajarski made with a Portobello mushroom instead of bread ($5.50) for those who prefer a low-carb or gluten-free option.

In addition to the Ajarski, to start we ordered the vegan hot wings ($10.85) thinking they were going to be cauliflower wings, which was perhaps our first mistake. It is made of soy and was rather lifeless (no pun intended). There was no crunch, no texture, and didn’t make me feel like I could give up hot wings then and there if that is what awaited me. Cauliflower wings, on the other hand, have the perfect consistency and bite to them that feel like a hot wing without needing to mock the chicken flavor.

Then came the vegan pizza. I decided to go with the Vegan Meat Lover ($16.50), because if I’m going in on the meat alternatives, I might as well go all out. Pizza Boy’s meat lover comes with vegan ham, vegan sausage, vegan pepperoni, vegan chicken, and vegan cheese, all served on the cauliflower crust I opted for. The various meat alternatives (the peperoni in particular) made it all resemble the plastic, toy pizzas that kids cherish in play food sets. Perhaps it could just use more flavorful, textured “meats,” a thicker faux cheese for the price, or perhaps I had this particular experience because I’m not vegan and only eat like one every so often. I can’t say, 12 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.07.19

but what followed — two non-vegan pizzas — completely turned the night around.

We ordered a medium “create my own pizza” with half of a Mexican pizza and half Armenian pizza. The Mexican came with mozzarella, pepperoni, chorizo, meatballs, Italian sausage and jalapeños. It was delicious and was my friend’s second favorite dish of the night.

Greasy, soft and everything you think of when you envision pizza. My favorite was easily the Armenian portion, made with fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and an extremely generous amount of Armenian feta cheese piled over the top. It tasted beyond fresh, and while I know the overwhelming amount of cheese was not as health conscious as several other items on their menu, I didn’t mind one bit. It’s the perfect summer time, or any time pizza to indulge in.

The great thing about Pizza Boy is that they have it all. Whether that’s pizza or pasta, or even an array of sandwiches ranging from grilled chicken breast, Philly cheesesteak and Italian salami (all $10) to burgers, calzones and steak, the list goes on and on. There’s a hefty menu for tried and true vegans, for the health nuts, keto dieters, low-carb, all-carbs, and those who just want pizza, wings and beer. Yes, they also serve beer: Corona, Sapporo, Stella Artois, Heineken, and Samuel Adams. While I went in with high expectations for the vegan pizza in particular, I left with an appreciation for everything that Pizza Boy offers its customers. And better than that, you’re not judged on whatever you choose.

MOMENTOUS MONEYMAKER Kidspace Children’s Museum kicks off $40,000 fundraiser to help mark 40th anniversary Kidspace Children’s Museum has long been a point of pride for Pasadena, and will mark the 40th anniversary of its founding with a two-day Birthday Bash event on July 13-14. To honor its 40-year history of encouraging children’s growth and development with innovative exhibits, play-based programs, and interactive events, the children’s museum has embarked upon a campaign to raise $40,000 in 40 days.

Now through March 30, all donations made to the museum will help Kidspace provide daily access to play-based learning experiences and life-changing moments, giving children the opportunities to try new things, discover the world around them, and build self-confidence. It will also make the museum accessible to all children, including the estimated 24 percent of annual guests who have been able to visit Kidspace through free or significantly reduced-cost programs.

Kidspace will spotlight the 40th Celebration with a two-day Birthday Bash this July 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. During this classic birthday celebration, guests can put on their party clothes and join the festivities, including party games and party-hat making as well as a performance and birthday treat in the Stone Hollow Amphitheater at 1 p.m.

During its 40-year history, the museum has served more than 5.5 million guests who have benefited from enriching educational experiences. The museum’s informal education environment offers self-directed play and learning, emphasizing twenty-first century skills, such as creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.

Kidspace is located at 480 N. Arroyo Blvd., Pasadena. Call (626) 449-9144 or kidspacemuseum.org.

VIBRANT VISUALS Alex Theatre unveils top-of-the-line digital cinema projection system The historic Alex Theatre has installed a top-of-the-line digital cinema projection system allowing films shot in digital format to be screened at the 1,400-seat venue utilizing in-house equipment.

The project was funded courtesy of a $75,000 grant from the Ahmanson Foundation and a $45,000 grant from The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation.

While the addition of the new system was crucial to the stewardship of the future, retaining the existing 35mm film projectors was vital to the preservation of the venue’s past, making the Alex one of the few venues in LA County to have inhouse digital and 35mm film projectors.

The project in its entirety included renovating the theater’s projection booth in order to accommodate all three projectors in order to continue to screen films in their truest form. The new system complements the theater’s Dolby digital surround sound system.

Glendale Arts is offering an introductory rate of $1,000 for use of the top-of-the-line projector.

The rate is inclusive of an operator for the equipment. For full venue booking costs and availability, visit AlexTheatre.org or email Director of Marketing & Events Maria Sahakian at msahakian@ glendalearts.org.

MIND MELD The Retreat at Pacifica Graduate Institute announces major conference The Santa Barbara-based Retreat at Pacifica Graduate Institute is pleased to announce “Art and Psyche: Conference IV, The Illuminated Imagination,” featuring the work of C.G. Jung. The main conference is scheduled on April 4 -7, and will be located at UC Santa Barbara’s University Center (UCEN) and at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum.

Pacifica Graduate Institute looks forward to engaging with leaders and communities at the intersections of psychotherapy, depth psychology, and the creative potential of the psyche. The Art and Psyche Conference will engage the imaginative processes of psychotherapists and members of the art community to expand attendees’ understanding of depth psychology through painting, music, poetry, and literature as well as psychological theories and clinical practices.

The work of C.G. Jung, particularly through his vividly illustrated “The Red Book,” will offer a historical backdrop that continues to inspire artists and psychotherapists individually and collectively.

The conference itself will function as an emergent community through the interaction of the participants in large group plenaries, performances, small group breakouts, and workshops.

Based on experiences at the three previous conferences, these interactions have a synergistic and enlivening effect on all who attend.

REBEL WITHOUT A REASON

DON’T LET EMOTIONAL ‘TRANSFERENCE’ MESS UP A GOOD RELATIONSHIP

Dear Patti, I married my husband a year ago. I knew I was marrying a wonderful man but I didn’t realize that his whole family is wonderful. They own a very successful business in Pasadena and everybody in the family has welcomed me to become part of their company. I love the work, I love working in the community, and I love the family and how supportive they’ve been.

The problem is that every time I’m around the oldest sister, Nancy, I get uncomfortable. Nancy runs the business and she’s basically my boss at work. I go back and forth between either feeling intimidated and shy around her or secretly critical and resentful. I keep thinking furious thoughts about how she’s a demanding know-it-all and too bossy and controlling.

When I’m away from her though, I can see that Nancy’s not actually doing anything wrong. She keeps things running but hasn’t been domineering at all. In fact, if I’m honest, she pays attention to me and encourages my new ideas. Nancy is respectful to all the family members and especially kind to my elderly motherin-law. She’s part of why I love working in the family business. But I still get these irrational surges of anger toward her.

My father died when I was very young, and my mother left me to be raised by my grandmother who was very controlling. For my whole childhood I felt like I had to fight constantly to have any rights at all. I recently realized that I’m reacting to my sister-in-law the same way I reacted to my grandmother and I don’t want to do that.

It’s time to move on from my old childhood drama and leave it behind. I want to connect with my husband’s family in harmony both at work and home.

— Beth Dear Beth, This is a very exciting time in both your personal and work life and one that will introduce no shortage of new familial relationships and challenges. As is often the case when people move forward, however, it’s not without the awkward weight of emotional baggage — elements that can influence how well you adjust to the latest change in your circumstances and the opportunities it presents for growth.

You want to heal from the pain and the insecurity of past traumas so they won’t interfere with your life today. That’s an excellent goal. You have already taken the first critical step by recognizing that your sister-in-law is treating you well but that you are emotionally reacting as if her behavior were a cruel carbon copy of what you previously experienced with your grandmother. This is called transference. The more you acknowledge and experience your repressed feelings toward your childhood matriarch, the less power those historic feelings will be able to exert on what you are doing today.

To accomplish this objective and reduce the tendency to transfer your feelings onto others, I would strongly recommend professional counseling. Find a therapist whom you trust and feel connected to. Keep in mind, however, that there is a good possibility you will eventually transfer feelings onto your therapist as well. That is often part of the therapeutic process, which your therapist will guide you through. The goal is for the two of you to create a safe, private space in which you carefully examine and heal these painful memories.

Until then, try this exercise. Write down all of the traits, both good and bad, that characterized your grandmother. Then, on a separate piece of paper, write down all the traits that Nancy exhibits. After reviewing both lists, write down the behaviors from your grandmother’s list that you are currently transferring onto your sister-in-law. Look clearly at the difference.

The next step is to choose a negative trait from your grandmother’s list and remember a specific time when she exhibited that trait and you felt mistreated as a result. See the experience in your mind’s eye and feel your anger and hurt. Do that with each negative trait and you will begin to understand where all of this is rooted.

Share this experience with your new therapist. You may find that therapeutic work will help your relationships, and maybe even help your relationship with your grandmother if you are still in contact with her. You will definitely experience improvement in your current contacts. Don’t let the past interfere with your new career, your new family, and other relationships to come. 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.

SHATTERED ‘GLASS’

A NOISE WITHIN PRESENTS TENNESSEE WILLIAMS’ DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY CLASSIC ‘THE GLASS MENAGERIE’ THROUGH APRIL 26

YOUTHFUL VOICES

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

F

amily is a powerful force in the lives of most everyone, providing either love and support or an oppressive source of negativity and discouragement. That tenuous dynamic formed the heart of legendary playwright Tennessee Williams’ classic play “The Glass Menagerie” when it debuted to great acclaim in 1944, and has kept it relevant all the way to the present.

A powerful new production of “Menagerie” is currently running at A Noise Within theater through April 26, starring Deborah Strang as Amanda Wingfield in a role she previously played with ANW in 1997 at its original Glendale location. Amanda is the eccentric and addled matriarch of a family that’s been fading from earlier glories ever since her husband abandoned her, son Tom and daughter Laura

16 years before, and their lives are shaken when a “gentleman caller” named Jim O’Connor from Laura’s past shows up one night to woo her as a favor to Tom. According to actor Kasey Mahaffy, who plays the enigmatic Jim, “Menagerie” has had a stirring effect on audiences young and old already in this run — largely due to the passion Williams brought to his writing, as the play was a key means of his ability to deal with his own difficult upbringing. He feels that the play’s messages on family and on how individuals deal with their dreams draws such strongly universal reactions that the play could be presented in a straightforward fashion close to its original 1937 design, rather than radically reinvented in the vein of some other ANW productions.

Erika Soto and Deborah Strang in The Glass Menagerie

“For me, I love turning scripts on their heads, but I don’t think it would have been of service to make this set today or in medieval times,” says Mahaffy. “The language and other aspects are very much of 1937. We do lots of student matinees of our shows for high school students, and never, ever have we had the response we have with this show.

“The students are wild, so into it, because Williams is dealing with universal themes that everyone can understand,” adds Mahaffy. “The reason this show has been successful for 80 years is that it has intrinsic scenes that affect everyone — the elderly associate with the memories of it all, and of the time when you had to live with your mother and family. Kids love it so much because the themes are so universal, like having dreams in high school, problems with parents, dreams bigger than you are, or a relationship with a sibling that isn’t always what you want it to be. Audiences from young to elderly are leaning forward into this thing.”

Mahaffy is one of four ANW Resident Artists in the cast, with Rafael Goldstein taking on the central role of Tom Wingfield, who draws upon his memories to serve as the play’s narrator. Erika Soto rounds out the leads as Laura, who has allowed herself to fail in life due to poor self-esteem and a permanent limp caused by childhood polio.

The production is directed by ANW cofounder Geoff Elliott, who portrayed Tom in the ensemble’s 1997 production and is excited to take the reins of the overall show this time around. He’s also glad that Strang has returned to reprise the role of Amanda, giving her a chance to deliver a deeper and more age-appropriate turn in the role this time around. “’The Glass Menagerie’s’ poetic nature, 18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.07.19

its humor, and its heartbreak make it one of my favorite plays, and certainly my favorite Tennessee Williams play,” says Elliott. “The autobiographical nature of the story and its alignment to Williams’ own life are fascinating to me. I have for several years been passionate about rediscovering the play more from a director’s perspective than from the viewpoint of an actor in the cast as I played Tom Wingfield in our previous production.

“Just as importantly, I want to share Deborah’s Amanda with audiences,” he continues. “She was wonderful 20 years ago, but probably too young. She is now the perfect age and her sensibilities as an artist and the life experience she has gained will combine to give our audiences a very special performance in this key role. Also, the other three actors in the production are three of my favorite performers in the world, so thus far it has been a joyful experience.”

Even though the times have drastically changed since the late 1930s setting of “The Glass Menagerie,” Elliott still believes there is a lot to take away about human relationships from the classic work.

“I believe audiences will experience a deep sense of empathy for the courage, humor and resolve that the Wingfields demonstrate in their attempt to support one another,” notes Elliott. “Their foibles and missteps are also so very human that I believe every member of the audience will see themselves in aspects of these complicated and conflicted people. It is a play that will stay with you long after you have exited the theater.” n “The Glass Menagerie” runs through April 26 at A Noise Within, 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena.

Tickets are $25 to $77. Call (626) 356-3100 or visit anoisewithin.org.

BRAD COLERICK LEADS MUSICAL RAIL TO THE FRET EXCURSION ON METROLINK FROM UNION STATION TO THE FRET HOUSE SATURDAY

B

rad Colerick has a lot of ideas. Many of them get expressed as songs. In 2009 he also created Wine & Song, the weekly songwriter showcase that’s become a durable anchor for the area’s acoustic music community (hosted, since 2015, at Arroyo Seco Golf Course’s Blue Guitar Room). He’s also organized quite a few house concerts, festival stages and one-off events, in addition to running his music production and supervision company.

So Saturday’s Rail to the Fret event isn’t a surprise, especially if you’ve heard his latest album, “Nine Ten Thirty,” and listened to “Superhero of the MTA.” It was only a matter of time before he organized a rail ride to one of his gigs.

The plan is for everyone to meet at Union Station, ride the train to Covina, shop and nosh, and then adjourn to the concert at the Fret House. Leeann Skoda will open, and Colerick will close with multi-instrumentalist Tim Fleming (on pedal steel) and bassist Guillermo Guzman, then lead them back to the train ride

home. Colerick says it’s a scaleddown version of an idea he tried to launch years ago.

“It was called the Song Train, and I was going to rent a refurbished Pullman car that would tag onto Amtrak — you can do that for a per-mile fee,” he recalls. He envisioned a two-week trip beginning in San Francisco, winding across the West to Chicago, down to Memphis and New Orleans and back to LA. He planned to have a ProTools setup onboard so they’d have a finished recording by journey’s end. Late documentary filmmaker George Hickenlooper supported his idea.

“George’s office was adjacent to mine and we rode the Gold Line on opening day together; he was interested in being part of it so I was pitching it with his involvement. I’m just a big public transit proponent.”

Despite railroad and beer company interest, Song Train went nowhere. But he was encouraged by last year’s experience renting a bus and organizing a caravan from his South Pasadena studio to a show at McCabe’s

in Santa Monica, with Chauncey Bowers entertaining riders with “weird scientific facts.” (Anyone who’s been to Bowers’ gigs or followed his Facebook feed knows how he can mine hilarity from science. Politics too. And cats.)

This Saturday, Colerick plans to meet whoever buys advance tickets on the train platform with their roundtrip passes, and then hold court in the rear car. He might play his guitar; it depends how things flow in the moment.

No word yet on whether Bowers will join the party.

“It’s the commuter train — the double-decker, the Metrolink trains make fewer stops and go faster,” he explains. “I just love trains.” n “Rail to the Fret” with Brad Colerick & the Wreckers and guest Leeann Skoda at the Fret House, 309 N. Citrus Ave., Covina, 7:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday, March 9; tickets are $20/show or $30/show and train, available at deepmix.thundertix. com.

PATTY GRIFFIN, Patty Griffin (PGM/Thirty Tigers): HHHH

Not since 2002’s “1000 Kisses” has Griffin recorded an album that sounds as organic and alive as this, her tenth, recorded mostly in her Austin home.

The mysterious “Coins,” rendered with beautiful Spanish guitar and Robert Plant’s harmony, perceives present turmoil through her younger self’s eyes, while the funky blues of “Hourglass” complements rougher contours her voice has assumed since recovery from breast cancer.

Amidst cello, drones, guitar, marimba, piano, and trombone, “Luminous Places,” triumphant murder ballad “Bluebeard” and dreamy “What I Remember” remind how poetic and stunning Griffin’s writing can be as she ponders age, justice, and women’s struggles. Music to savor and share. pattygriffin. com

DIDO,Still on My Mind (BMG): HHH

The British singer’s electronic pop has always gone down easy, thanks to her glass-smooth vocals and hooky yet chill melodies (like 1999’s “Thank You”).

What’s new on her first album since 2013’s “Girl Who Got Away” is deeper domestic contentment.

She and brother (and ex-Faithless bandmate) Rollo Armstrong skillfully layer synths, guitars, harmonies, analog loops and dramatic beats; standouts “Hurricanes” and the title track evoke her club beginnings while assessing distances since traveled. Some tunes seem Starbucks-ready, but the anthemic “Chances” and “Have to Stay,” about loving her son, genuinely pluck heartstrings. didomusic.com

COCHEMEA, All My Relations (Daptone): HHHH

Cochemea Gastelum, best known as saxophonist with the late Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, traces the interconnectedness of cultures and nature throughout this appealing, percussive instrumental set. The melodic “Seyewailo” and “Sonora” showcase his sultry horn tone and jazz composition, but the album’s best represented by the spacey, pan flute-infused “Los Muertos” and especially engagingly polyrhythmic tracks like the funky “Mitote,” the prayerful, chant-opening “Asatoma” and cheery “Al-Mu’tasim,” which blend spiritual chants and magnetic rhythms of his Yaqui and Mescalero Apache heritage. daptonerecords. com/artists/cochemea

JULIA JACKLIN, Crushing (Polyvinyl): HHH½

The Aussie pop artist’s second full-length album opens with portentous bass and a luggage-throwing reckoning (“Body”) with a lover whose juvenile antics invite police and her departure. “I don’t want to be touched all the time/ I raised my body up to be mine,” she then sings during “Head Alone”; throughout this self-aware set she plumbs dual cravings for solitude and physical connection, and pushes back social expectations while grieving.

She soberly nails impulses to relent to convenience during rocker “Pressure to Party,” and affectingly sings ballads like “Don’t Know How to Keep Loving You” and “When the Family Flies In.” juliajacklin. com 20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.07.19

ARTNIGHT PASADENA RETURNS WITH 20 WAYS TO LOVE FREE EXPRESSION

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI Pasadena is a thriving arts town with numerous galleries, music and arts schools, live professional theaters and orchestras, and America’s longestrunning comedy club offering a world of wonder nearly every day of the year.

But twice a year, the city tops itself by gathering 20 arts institutions together to show off the best they have to offer during ArtNight Pasadena.

The spring 2019 edition will draw thousands of arts lovers of all ages to the streets of the Crown City from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, and the lineup is just as exciting as ever. As attendees grab their complimentary maps and board a constant stream of shuttles to make it across town, they’ll have to plan wisely to make the most of this incredible opportunity.

The top attractions Friday include the Armory Center for the Arts’ exhibit “Sara Kathryn Arledge: Serene for the Moment Vivid,” which features works on paper plus short films by an underrecognized, Pasadena-based artist who found the eerie in the mundane and the disorienting in the beautiful. The band El Rio provides great live background music throughout the evening.

Leave it to ArtCenter College

of Design to provide a particularly impressive show — two of them, in fact. Its Williamson Gallery on its main campus (1700 Lida St.) will present “Garb,” a collision of image, fashion, body sculpture and costumes that is a multidisciplinary exhibition of contemporary art and design. Meanwhile, its South Campus (950 S. Raymond Ave.) enables visitors to explore rare classic and contemporary automobiles that have contributed to the evolution of aerodynamic design in “Details of Design: Beauty, Aerodynamics and Functionalism,” and an exhibition about the beauty and complexities of Multi-Script Typefaces in “Mike/Sierra/ Tango.”

Pasadena’s beautiful and historic City Hall (100 N. Garfield Ave.) will be a vibrant hub for the evening, hosting live New Orleans style music, Mardi Gras mask-making, dancers from Lineage Performing Arts Center and booths hosted by the Metro transit system, and tasty snacks in addition to shuttles that will take attendees to the bevy of venues. Another of Pasadena’s most beautiful and historic landmarks, The Gamble House (4 Westmoreland Place) will offer rare night tours, enabling

visitors to enjoy its 1908 electrical light fixtures and the mysterious electronic music of the Theremin, invented in 1928.

The newly revamped and expanded Jackie Robinson Community Center (1020 N. Fair Oaks Ave.) will throw its doors open for the masses to enjoy the timeless art of photographer Alfred Haymond, browse through the unique Jackie Robinson exhibits and revel in the music of the JazzZone ensemble.

Other great music can be found when the inventive MUSE/IQUE orchestra presents “Under the Sea,” a night of live music, dancing, crafts, bubbles and more that kicks off its summer concert season called “Moving/Pictures.”

Finally, one other stop worth spotlighting is the Pasadena Central Library (285 E. Walnut St.), which will kick off its 2019 One City, One Story program with a “Wild Wild West” night of events. Building off the fact that this year’s book is the Western-themed “In the Distance” by Hernan Diaz, the shindig will feature music, dance, shows and art. n For more information, visit artnightpasadena.org.

CAPSULE REVIEWS

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

GLASS

Stars: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy Length: 129 minutes Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan Rating: PG13 A hybrid sequel to both “Unbreakable” and “Split,” “Glass” fulfills fanboy fantasies. All three leads are terrific as mortal enemies Willis and Jackson have to contend with the unstoppable monster criminal The Horde, played by James McAvoy, in a battle of wits and later brawn while kept under the mysterious watch of a shady psychiatrist.

Grade: A

THE FAVOURITE

•FILM•

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

Almost ‘Marvel’-ous

‘CAPTAIN MARVEL’ PROVIDES SOMETIMES TOO MUCH FUN AS THE FIRST FEMALE-LED MCU FILM

N

early 20 movies into the superhero movie madness that is collectively known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Marvel Studios and its parent company Disney feel the need to keep topping themselves in terms of action, spectacle and noise. On Monday night, this insanity crossed over into the real skies across Los Angeles when six actual Thunderbird fighter jets raced across the city as part of the world-premiere hoopla for its latest offering, “Captain Marvel.”

This show of extreme military force over a movie might seem a bit much, but it’s nothing compared to the dizzying mayhem unleashed onscreen at the height of this film’s frequent action sequences. The big difference this time is that this marks the first Marvel movie to feature a standalone female hero, finally catching up to DC Comics’ “Wonder Woman” a couple years back.

It’s not quite likely to induce “Wonder” or make you “Marvel,” but it’s a fun escapade enough of the time to please fans of bombastic popcorn flicks and it sets up lots of key elements for the April 26 release of The Biggest Superhero Movie of All Time, “Avengers: Endgame.” That and the fact that she’s expected to be the great savior of the many Avengers who were wished out of existence at the end of their prior adventure, “Avengers: Infinity War” make this essential viewing for those planning to see “Endgame.” But for the average person, these are starting to get interchangeable and slightly annoying.

“Marvel” opens in a trippy, almost psychedelic fashion, as a woman named Vers finds herself trapped in a nightmare in which she’s trapped in a landscape decimated by battle and soon veers into and out of a reality that reveals she’s part of the Kree civilization on another planet.

She spends her days training in hand to hand combat and assorted Jedi-style tactics under the supervision of Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), with her biggest obstacle being the fact that she can’t control her temper — yet wants to master the ability to shoot ultra-powerful photon rays at will.

When a mission to retrieve a Kree spy from enemy Skrull territory goes awry, a frantic (and frankly confusing) battle ensues that leads to her hopping in a pod-style spaceship and jetting off to a planet called C-53, aka Earth. Crash landing through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store in 1995, she finds she’s quickly forced into battle with a Skrull that has also crashed and has the ability to morph into anyone it touches.

This leads to both a funny and rousing high-speed battle on a subway train between Vers (who soon takes on the Earth alias of fighter pilot Carol Danvers) and the Skrull in the form of an old woman.

24 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.07.19

Seeing an old lady both throw down and get slammed around the inside of a subway car is certainly one of the most inventive and entertaining things I’ve seen in quite a while, and the mayhem also draws the hot pursuit of government agents Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Coulson (Clark Gregg, who also stars as Coulson in the ABC/Marvel offshoot series “Agents of SHIELD”).

As the agents force her to admit what’s going on, Fury is surprised to learn that both Vers (who winds up getting called Captain Marvel) and the Skrulls are in pursuit of an invention made by an Air Force scientist named Dr. Wendy Lawson (Annette Bening) that can enable movement at light speed. As they engage in their quest, they find that almost no one is what they seem on a surface level, and Vers learns that not only can she be powerful as a woman hero, but that sometimes keeping control of and channeling her emotions can be the greatest power of all.

“Marvel” stands the strong risk of feeling like a “been there, done that” proposition considering how many MCU movies there have been.

But in hiring the quirky independent-filmmaker team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck — who have previously built their careers around indie, character-driven dramedies — as its writing-directing team, Marvel has found a way to look at this from some fresh angles.

The 1995 setting enables all sorts of nostalgic pop culture gags throughout, and for action scenes to be set to the strong pool of femaledriven rock that was available at that time. Larson, an Oscar-winner for the harrowing indie drama “Room,” also brings both emotional depth and a great deal of fun sass to her turn as the heroine.

It also provides the fun of seeing Jackson as his younger self, thanks to the ace effects team digitizing Jackson’s actual image from that year into life atop his current body – resulting in him looking 25 years younger and starting the film without the eye patch that has become Fury’s trademark.

In fact, the most fun part of the film lies in its moments that answer questions including how Fury lost an eye in the first place — trust me, you won’t harbor anywhere close to a decent guess. Plenty of other Easter eggs abound throughout, but the only wish I have is that this and future MCU movies remember to keep the human side as strong as the super heroics and not devolve into murky mayhem when the action hits. n

“CAPTAIN MARVEL”: B

Stars: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz Length: 119 minutes Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos Rating: R This twisted, wildly original historical comedy makes England’s Queen Anne secretly gay, while following the battle of wits and bodies between her prime assistant and a ruthless maid who will stop at no trick to come out on top. The film looks gorgeous, is shockingly funny, and the three Oscar-nominated actresses are clearly having a blast. So will you. Grade: A

ROMA

Stars: Yalitza Aparicio, Marina de Tavira, Diego Cortez Length: 135 minutes Directed by: Alfonso Cuaron Rating: R Nominated for ten Oscars and beloved by most critics, this slice of life look at a year in the life of a poor maid working for a wealthy family while facing the prospect of single motherhood is gorgeously shot. But aside from that, it’s slow as molasses and will bore most normal folks to tears. Grade: D

THE UPSIDE

Stars: Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, Nicole Kidman Length: 126 minutes Directed by: Neil Burger Rating: PG13 This incredibly inspiring dramedy kicks the new movie year off right, as Kevin Hart plays a struggling man whose life changes when he becomes the caretaker for a paralyzed millionaire with a death wish - and winds up restoring his will to live. Terrific performances, and filled with laughs and (no pun intended) heart. Grade: A

VICE

Stars: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve Carell Length: 132 minutes Directed by: Robert Zemeckis Rating: R Bale is utterly amazing in this off-the-wall biopic of Dick Cheney, who manipulated his way into having more power than any Vice President in history. Writer-director McKay brought the 2008 financial meltdown to vibrant Oscar-winning life in "The Big Short" and makes this nearly as engaging. Grade: B

NOTICE OF PUBLIC NOTICE Zoning Code Amendment Relating to Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses

SUBJECT: On March 4, 2019, City Council adopted an amendment to Title 5, Chapter 5.45 of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) to update business license and regulations relating to sexually oriented businesses. Prior to this, the sexually oriented business provisions in the PMC had not been updated since 2006. Changes in the law that apply to such businesses, and in the sexually oriented business industry itself, require an update and modernization of the PMC sections that govern these uses.

Amendments are being proposed to the sexually oriented business provisions in Title 17 (Zoning Code) to bring the Zoning Code into consistency with the recently adopted Title 5 amendments.

PROJECT LOCATION: All properties within the City of Pasadena.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council will consider whether adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3), the “general ruleî that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Since the proposed activity would not expand the locations in which these land uses may locate beyond what is currently allowed, there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

Planning Commission Recommendation: On February 27, 2019, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Code Amendment and recommended that the City Council find that the Zoning Code Text Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and adopt the proposed amendment.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will hold a public hearing to receive testimony, oral and written, on the proposed amendments to adult business provisions in Title 17 (Zoning Code).

The hearing is scheduled for:

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 re-

ceive 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 offi ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.
