The US military is now producing wars as often as Hollywood produces fi lms. The Pentagon, and their directors, the corporate media, are reeling them out, releasing them one after the other. And the welladvertised trailers are rolling across the global screen too: Coming Soon! Iran! Check out the summer release of North Korea! And of course don’t miss the recent release, Venezuela!

They are replete with cameo performances by top actors like Elliot Abrams (the Guatemalan mass murderer) Michael Pompeo (the archetype torturer and the wonderful NSA character actor John Bolton (Allen Dulles’ twin brother by a different mother). The old star, Hitler, is rolling over in his grave with jealousy.

All fi lms are distributed by Fascism Gone Wild. So prepare yourself for this year’s award shows. We start off with the Bolton Globe Awards, followed by the JAG awards, and then of course the shock-and-awe fi nale, the Academy of Wars. Stay tuned for which political actor will win best war contractor. The suspense is killing me, you, and all of us.

Coming soon, the next war, in “theaters” nearer and nearer to you. And don’t forget to look for Mad Dog Mattis’ new star on the Walk of Fame. And the host of this year’s Academy of Wars is none other than CNN’s Wolf (Blitzkrieg) Blitzer, with a special war eulogy by Brian Williams. Rumor has it he’ll be parachuting from a Black Hawk down to the Red Carpet!

Some of you can take this all the way to the bank. We promise this year’s wars will be even more action-packed thrillers than last year’s. We can only hope that we have enough endurance and disability to see them all, or enough 03.07.19 3.07.1

OUGHTA BE A LAW The selection of Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, initiated a new era of lies. It is estimated Trump tells 20 or more lies and misleading statements on a daily basis.

In my memory, as an 85-year-old, I have never known a time when lying by politicians and important people has been so prevalent. It is impossible for a democratic form of government to operate efficiently when government is not trusted. In our case, the individual at the head of our government is a prolific liar who cannot be counted on.

Donald Trump has made a career of falsehoods and of misleading statements. His policy of lies has spread to every area of government and to every important issue we face. Furthermore, no shame seems to accompany false pronouncements.

I think we can put a stop to it through effective, impressionable and forcible legislation.

We should enact a law, embarrassing as it is, to make it a crime for any elected official or government official to lie or to mislead the public with severe consequences to be paid by violators. This should be implemented at the local and federal levels as well. I suggest that mandatory jail sentences and fi nes of one year and $100,000 be imposed on anyone whose statements have an effect on the lives of American citizens and American residents.

Individuals running for public offices should be required to sign an affidavit affi rming that they will not only “defend and protect” the Constitution of the United States but will advocate or tell no lie with respect to his or her official statements.

A new government department, the Fact Finding Department, should be enacted and staffed to ensure that truth be insured in our political life. l know there will be severe opposition by those whose careers will be impacted by this legislation.

However, the culture of lies must be terminated and the only way to take this matter into our hands effectively is to legislate it. ~ MIGUEL ESPINOSA, JR. VIA EMAIL

HATE COMES HOME LOCAL ARTIST BEATEN ON A BUS BY MAN SPEWING RACIAL SLURS

L

ook at all the hate crime statistics from around the country and none would evoke the anger one feels when something bad happens to a person they actually know and like.

And, it seems all of that anxiety and infuriation only grows worse when such an act is committed against a mild-mannered person who’s been pushed around a good portion of his life.

Such was the case with Milton Knight, a once highly in-demand artist and illustrator who in recent years had fallen on hard financial times and moved from Altadena to Indiana. It was while riding on a municipal bus in the city of Bloomington on Feb. 25 that Milton, who is African American, was attacked and his face beaten into a bloody mess by an epithet-spewing punk, who was later arrested by police and charged with battery.

“The event was one big shock that continues to shock me,” Milton told PW Deputy Editor André Coleman this week. In the attack, Milton, who already suffers with PTSD stemming from abuse suffered as a child at the hands of his parents, sustained numerous brusies, cuts and abrasions.

“Never have I encountered such pure hate,” he recalled. “It doesn’t feel like America now.” (Please see related story on page 7) According to police data from around the country compiled by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino, hate crimes are on the rise in eight of 10 major cities. In 2018, hate crimes committed in New York were up by 6 percent from the previous year. In the city of LA, it was a 13 percent increase, and Chicago saw a 26 percent hike. Happily, San Diego showed no change from last year, and San Jose actually saw a 24 percent decrease, according to the center.

But in places like Chicago, this marks the fi fth year such crimes have increased, according to the study, as reported by Voice of America.

Although hate crimes in California decreased by 21.8 percent from 2008 to 2017, those types of crimes went from 931 in 2016 to 1,093 in 2017, an increase of 17.4 percent in one year, according to the latest figures kept by the state Department of Justice. State investigators found that hate crimes with a racial bias are the most common, accounting for 55.7 percent of all hate crimes since 2008. Those shocking figures of crimes committed against people of color were followed closely by hate crimes committed against persons due to their sexual orientation, which from 2008 to 2017 accounted for nearly a quarter (23.2 percent). Crimes based on religious bias registered at 18.6 percent through that period.

In 2017, the state DOJ reported, 65.6 percent of hate crimes were violent. The remainder involved property crime offenses.

In LA County, the Commission on Human Relations reported in October that nearly half of the 508 reported hate crimes in 2017 were race-based, a 9 percent increase from 2016. The report also found that “crimes targeting black people rose 15 percent last year, going from 112 to 129,” according to NBC News in Los Angeles.

“Although black residents make up only 9 percent of the county’s population, they represented 50 percent of the racial hate crimes committed in 2017,” the report states While states, counties and even many cities around the country have enacted hate crime laws, which would carry heavier penalties upon conviction, Indiana has not.

Unfortunately, “While Indiana does not have a hate crime law, it certainly does have hate crimes,” reporter Stephanie Wang of the Indianapolis Star newspaper wrote in 2017.

“Indiana is one of five states without a law addressing penalties for hate crimes that target people because of certain characteristics, such as their race, religion or sexual orientation. But it does require law enforcement agencies to record such crimes and report them to the Indiana State Police,” Wang reported.

This month, the Indiana Legislature is fi nally considering enacting such a law. As reported by WTHR TV in Indianapolis, the state capital, “Three in four Hoosiers support a bias crimes law, including a majority of Republicans, according to a statewide January poll conducted by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.”

While leaving Altadena may have seemed like a good idea, maybe it might be best for Milton to leave Indiana, a place where someone can beat you up or even kill you because of your race without fear of increased penalties for their racist behavior. ■ 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.14.19

‘A TERRIBLE LOSS’

21 RACEHORSE DEATHS FORCE SANTA ANITA TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE AS ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS CALL FOR REFORMS

attle of Midway had a bright future by all accounts.

Last year, the 5-year old horse won the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and fi nished third in the Kentucky Derby.

In his last start, Battle of Midway won the San Pasqual Stakes by a half-length on Feb. 2 and increased his record to eight wins in 16 starts, earning $1.5 million.

But all of that came to an end in late February when the horse shattered his right hind pastern bone during a workout at Santa Anita Park Racetrack. The injury forced Battle of Midway’s owners to euthanize him, according to the Daily Racing Form.

“He gave us so much, and it’s such a terrible loss. We are devastated,” said trainer Fernando Diaz-Valdes, co-owner of the Don Alberto Stable.

“We were so excited about him. He was coming into peak form and we were excited for the future of this year — the Breeders’ Cup, Dubai World Cup, you name it,” Diaz-Valdes said. “We tried our best to save him, but the vet said there was nothing we could do. We had to do what was best for the horse.”

Officials indefi nitely canceled horseracing at Santa Anita on March 5 — including the track’s biggest race of the year, the Santa Anita Handicap, which was scheduled for last Saturday — after

A struggling artist who left Altadena to live in Indiana is recovering after a racially charged beating while riding on a public bus.

According to his Facebook page and Milton Knight police accounts, Milton Knight, 56, was riding a bus on in Bloomington, Indiana, when he was a attacked by a man who repeatedly called him the “N” word while hitting him in the face with what he called “endless punches.”

“I was beaten up today,” Knight wrote of the Feb. 25 incident. “To make a long story short, I was waiting for the bus, and a guy was using a one-sided conversation with people to shout N***** every two seconds. Went on for 15 minutes. I gave him the finger. He kept screaming N***** this and that. I let him have the last SHUT UP N*****, but after that he kept going. Soon it was COME OVER HERE, N***** I’LL KICK YOUR ASS and things like that. I went, and he did. I got in the second punch, but it was endless punches to the head, even after I went down.”

Arrested in the incident was Ronald Walker, 51, who is due in court on March 26 for a pretrial hearing on one felony count of battery resulting in moderate bodily injury.

“I was hanging onto his jacket, and he said he couldn’t get up. The cops came. I went to the hospital. Cuts, a broken nose and more. He went to the same hospital; he had busted a fist!!

I pressed charges; he went to jail for battery,” he continued.

During his career, Knight worked on Mighty Mouse, Richie Rich, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Betty Boop comics. He also worked on “The New Twisted Adventures of Felix the Cat,” “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Johnny Test.”

Knight also drew illustrations for such publications as High Times, National Lampoon, Heavy Metal and the Pasadena Weekly.

Last April, PW reported Knight, who says he suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome as a result of treatment by his father and mother, was on the brink of being evicted from his rental home in Altadena, where he said he had contracted typhus as a result of the unsanitary conditions in his unit. He used proceeds from a gofundme campaign to move.

Regarding the incident, “The police were very nice. It’ll be a string of repairs for me. Soon I am going to die. I can’t take this anymore,” Knight said.

BARGER CALLS FOR TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON USE OF CONTROVERSIAL HERBICIDE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN AND KEVIN UHRICH

The LA County Board of Supervisors is expected on Tuesday to consider a request by Supervisor Kathryn Barger to have county departments stop using an herbicide containing a chemical believed to cause cancer while a study is conducted and viable alternatives are explored.

“I am asking county departments to stop the use of Kathryn Barger this herbicide until public health and environmental professionals can determine if it’s safe for further use in LA County and explore alternative methods for vegetation management,” said Barger in a prepared statement.

Barger’s request comes following a report in the Pasadena Weekly that stated county workers in Pasadena are spraying Roundup, an herbicide containing glyphosate, which the World Health Organization in 2015 found “probably causes cancer.”

Under Barger’s motion, the spraying would stop while a full investigation is conducted by the Department of Public Works in conjunction with the county departments of Public Health, Parks and Recreation, and Beaches and Harbors, and the Agriculture Commission.

The herbicide is being used to kill vegetation growing near a heliport in Northeast Pasadena, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW) told the Pasadena Weekly last week after one resident living nearby complained about the spraying.

Pasadena city officials stopped using Roundup in 2018, according to 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, Burbank, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Thousand Oaks, Irvine and Richmond.

In August, 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, makers of Roundup, claiming the herbicide gave them cancer.

Despite all the calls to ban the product, Roundup is currently being advertised on local TV stations and can be purchased at most local hardware stores. ■

REWORDING THE DEAL COUNCIL REMOVES ONE WORD IN MEASURE J MOU WITH PUSD

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

The Pasadena City Council approved a modified funding agreement with the Pasadena Unified School District which allows district officials much broader use of money generated by a voter-approved sales tax increase.

The City Council agreed to remove the word “district” Terry Tornek from the sentence “other District projects and programs that benefit public school students,” from the city’s Memorandum of Understanding with the Pasadena Unified School District regarding Measure I and Measure J. The change gives district officials more discretion to make decisions with the money, and could open the way to give some of the money to local charter schools.

Mayor Terry Tornek said he never intended to include charter schools when he wrote the ballot measures. As a matter of fact, Tornek considered charter schools as one of the problems contributing to declining enrollment, the main drain on PUSD resources. State funding of schools is based on average daily attendance, or ADA, of students.

“We don’t want to tell PUSD what to do with their funding. They are the experts,” said Council member Margaret McAustin. “Voters don’t want us to tell PUSD what to do.”

Measure I passed overwhelmingly in November and increased local sales tax by three-quarters of a cent. The sales tax hike is expected to generate $21 million annually. Measure J would allow the PUSD to have up to a third of that amount to improve public schools.

Last year, the district came close to being taken over by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) after LACOE officials began questioning whether the district could meet its fiduciary responsibilities.

Charter school advocates have lobbied for a cut of Measure J funds since the measure passed, claiming they are eligible because the ballot language states onethird of the three-quarter cent municipal sales tax would go to “Pasadena public schools.”

Charter schools are public schools funded by the PUSD. They operate as independent schools with freedom from some of the regulations that are imposed upon regular district schools. Charter schools are accountable for academic results and upholding the promises made in their charters.

Local public schools will start receiving Measure I money this summer. Those funds will go toward the district’s state-mandated 3 percent reserve and restoring programs. ■ 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.14.19

‘A TERRIBLE LOSS’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

owners were forced to put down 20 other horses that were injured between Dec. 26 and March 8 at Santa Anita, placing increased scrutiny on the venue.

On March 9 track officials announced new rules that force owners to apply for permission 24 hours in advance of intense workouts. In addition, before those workouts can be conducted veterinarians must evaluate the horses. A new position of Director of Equine Welfare, which will be held by an accredited veterinarian, is also being created.

The director will be responsible for the oversight of all aspects of equine well-being and will lead a new rapid response team for injuries. That team will be tasked with conducting transparent investigations of all factors involving the injury, as well the communication of their fi ndings to the public.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) called for reviews of horses’ past races and workout times, along with more physical examinations, and investigations into how often horses are medicated to mask injuries. The group is also calling for veterinary records that stay with horses throughout their lives, to ensure that injuries aren’t hidden.

“The entire racing industry must own up to the bloodbath on racetracks across the country,” said PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo.

A Winter Soaking Some experts believe the track may have been impacted by the unusually high volume of rain that has fallen on the region this year. The 11 inches of rain that was accompanied by unusually cold temperatures that impacted the Southland in February may have left the track extra hard due to precautions taken by track officials.

After every rainstorm, officials seal the track by tightly packing dirt to prevent the rain from oversaturating the running area, according to NBC News. But some experts believe the process makes the track too hard and unforgiving for animals that weigh more than half a ton and run on spindly ankles.

“These numbers are highly unusual, which speaks to the concern that a common factor such as track condition, whether too hard or too soft, too much grip or too much slip, can play a major role,” Jose Garcia-Lopez, director of Equine Sports Medicine at Tufts University in Massachusetts, told the Pasadena Weekly.

The track was initially shut down for two days in late February. During that time, officials called in Dr. Mick Peterson of the University of Kentucky to perform ground radar testing on the track. After testing was completed, Peterson cleared the track to be reopened. But almost immediately, it became clear that things were not OK when two more horses had to be euthanized in less than a week.

Additional track testing is being done using a device that mimics the impacts of a horse running at full gallop, allowing engineers to see how the track holds up. These test results will be evaluated to ensure track consistency and uniformity for both

training and racing. A comprehensive evaluation of all existing safety measures and current protocols is also being conducted.

The inner exercise track reopened for workouts on Friday. The inner track is not considered dangerous and no horses have suffered lifethreatening injuries there during the crisis.

“Like all athletes, horses need to stay active, so this is a good decision for their overall health since it allows our horses to get out of their stalls and keeps them moving to aid their digestion,” said Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert in a prepared statement.

The conditions of the inner track will be closely monitored as the horses begin using it. Use of the inner exercise track will be restricted to galloping or jogging.

“The safety, health and welfare of the horses and jockeys is our top priority,” Tim Ritvo, COO of Santa Anita’s parent company The Stronach Group, said in a statement. “While we are confident further testing will confi rm the soundness of the track, the decision to close is the right thing to do at this time.”

Built for Speed As Professor Garcia-Lopez of Tufts University pointed out, “Horses are extremely strong, athletic and powerful. However, they can be fragile, as their bones, joints, tendons and ligaments are placed under a large degree of stress.”

A horse’s leg contains 80 of the 205 bones in the animal’s body, according to the National Livestock Journal.

With no muscles below its knees, an intricate system of tendons and ligaments are powered by tremendous muscles high in the body, allowing the animals to sprint at high speeds.

But the bones are so light that instead of fracturing, as a human’s would, a horse’s bones shatter, which makes the leg almost impossible to repair.

Because equine circulation is dependent on the horse’s hooves, keeping a horse still for a long time puts the animal’s life at risk and forces owners to have hundreds of injured horses killed every year.

In 2012, The New York Times reported that 24 horses died each week at racetracks around the United States, many of those deaths the product of over-medication and poor oversight. In recent years, after reforms by state racing regulators, the death rate has declined.

In 2017, there were 20 horses euthanized after injuries related to 8,463 starts over a span of 122 racing days at Santa Anita, according to the Daily Racing Form. Last year, 22 horses were put down.

PETA’s Guillermo said there are some things that can be done now to make improvements in the lives of the animals.

“Medications must be banned entirely in the week before a race, beating horses with a whip to push them ever harder must stop, and racing injured horses just to give bettors options to put money on must be prohibited,” Guillermo said. “These animals aren’t machines to be driven mercilessly.” ■

Catherine Morris serves water to Ann Mulder, a community member at the Hippie Kitchen

WOMAN ON A MISSION

FORMER PASADENA NUN CATHERINE MORRIS AND HER HUSBAND JEFF DIETRICH DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HELPING THE HOMELESS LIVING ON SKID ROW

BY MARY REINHOLZ

C

atherine Morris is 84. But the silver-haired former Pasadena nun, who was once a teacher and later a principal at the private Mayfield Catholic schools, shows few signs of slowing down in her long-time role as an advocate for society’s outcasts.

Morris, who grew up in Pasadena and holds a master’s degree in education from the University of Portland, recently tried to explain to a reporter why she left Mayfield and her order — the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus — for a cause and a draft dodger named Jeff Dietrich.

Together they shaped a life dedicated to helping homeless people on Skid Row, the notorious 54-block area in downtown Los Angeles where there are now tent cities and people sleeping on drug-ravaged streets.

“In the convent, I had an awakening to another America,” Morris recalled while seated in the garden of the Los Angeles Catholic Worker (LACW) soup kitchen that she runs on East Sixth Street. Known as The Hippie Kitchen, it’s in the same vicinity that Mother Theresa visited and offered her suggestions on how to raise funds to rebuild after a predecessor kitchen was severely damaged in the wake of the magnitude 5.9 Whittier Narrows earthquake in 1987.

“I was most influenced by working with the homeless,” Morris continued in a subsequent phone conversation. “I wasn’t an angry person when I left the order. I think the sisters are great. I was just called to a different lifestyle and Jeff became part of that.”

She met the dashing Dietrich in 1972 at a time when he was a hippie, feeding homeless people out of a furnished milk truck.

After hitchhiking across the US and Europe to evade the hot breath of his draft board, Dietrich, the son of a real estate developer who grew up Catholic in Fullerton, had discovered a community of Catholic Workers in Pasadena. It was headed by Dan Delaney, a former Los Angeles diocesan priest, and his wife, Chris, a former nun. The Delaneys worked on Skid Row. When they left for Sacramento, Dietrich took over as an LACW leader, becoming part of

a Christian anarchist movement co-founded in 1933 by French Catholic social activist, theologian and De La Salle brother Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day, a pacifist and former bohemian writer in New York. Day is now being considered for sainthood by the Catholic Church.

After consulting with her superior at Holy Child, Morris had also joined LACW and began working with Dietrich. He impressed her with his can-do ethic at the Hippie Kitchen. “He did everything,” she said. “He cooked and was one of the organizers and he wrote for The Catholic Agitator, which is now 49 years old,” she added, referring to the LACW newspaper. “He was just a very attractive personality and an attractive person to work with. I fell for him,” Morris added with a laugh.

But when Dietrich proposed in 1974, Morris at first hesitated, telling him she was still a bride of Christ and too old for him at age 39. Dietrich, then 27, persisted.

The two iconoclasts were wed on Feb. 19, 1974 and now live in a 15-bedroom Victorian mansion in Boyle Heights donated by a neighbor. It’s shared by about 18 other people, among them Catholic Workers and homeless guests. Morris, Dietrich and the other Catholic Workers subsist solely on donations, many from Catholic parishes, and earn a “stipend” of $25 a week.

Once a year, at Christmas, they publish a fundraising appeal in The Catholic Agitator.

“It has worked out pretty good,” Morris said of her 45-year marriage which has included time away from the Hippie Kitchen for demonstrating with Dietrich against wars in Iraq and Central America and against nuclear weapons. The couple reportedly has been arrested at least 40 times. A year before her marriage, Morris spent two weeks in jail with Dorothy Day, the aforementioned candidate for canonization, after both were busted supporting a United Farm Workers strike led by Cesar Chavez outside the Fresno fields.

Dietrich, semi-retired at 72 and hospitalized in January with a urinary tract infection that spread, was not available for comment. But he sent word about his feelings for his wife CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

All That Glitters

MIXING SIGNALS AT NEW GLENDALE FRIED CHICKEN SHOP

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO recent visit to Hot Fried Chicken To Go in Glendale left me with more questions than answers, and not just about the food.

A cursory glance of the Yelp and Instagram pages of HFCTG shows a foodie’s fever dream. There are chicken wings coated in 24k gold with a tagline on the menu that literally says “Warning: Instagram Worthy” and a $1,000 option in which 100 of the gold dusted wings are served with a Gold Bottle of Ace of Spades champagne. Pictures on Yelp even show plates with an attached book lamp for photo lighting. There are also menu items like “baller fries” covered in cheese, fried eggs and hot Cheetos.

So I expected some strange, over-the-top food display. I could appreciate that they were pretty transparent in their pandering to the Instagram foodies.

For all the energy and food photography placed into HFCTG’s online presence, however, I (like many other reviewers on Yelp) was essentially bamboozled and about to have one of the strangest dining experiences of my life.

A

HFCTG has been open since December. The shop is on Cañada Boulevard with no banners or signage bearing its name. Instead, when GPS signals your arrival, the only visible signage is for a place called Leon. I circled around the block a number of times seeking any sign of the fried chicken restaurant, eventually spotting some fried chicken-related stickers along one of the windows in the corner of what looked to be a quarter of Leon that was converted into a side restaurant.

My dining partner and I cautiously walked in to find an essentially empty restaurant except for one man who was sitting alone at a table with no food or drink. There was a sign on the counter with a doorbell to push for service. As I went for a menu I noticed there were menus for three different establishments: Hot Fried Chicken To Go, O.M.G Pizza Company, and Glendale Poke Co. All of the menus featured the same address.

A man dressed more akin to a guest than any restaurant manager or employee I have ever seen came in the front door and asked if we had been helped or waiting for food. We indicated no,

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.

as did the man sitting without any food or drink.

Eventually, a boy no older than 14 came out and asked the same question. Once again I indicated no, and once again our server disappeared into the backroom of this seemingly workerless restaurant.

It was in the absence of help that I began to try to process exactly what I had just stepped into. I looked around and one wall was layered in dark wood slats. Free standing glass shelves held — and I’m not kidding — prop money bags with dollar signs and gold ingots, like the ones in cartoons. The wall on the opposite side that runs parallel to the “money wall” was a chalk board covered in foodrelated sayings. My personal favorite was a banner that said “Hungry Ha” and the word “Hello” below it that had its own speech bubble that said “Welcome Everyone.”

At this point, I began wondering what the deal was with this place? Why were there no signs anywhere? Why were staff members going in and out via the front door? What did “Hungry Ha” mean?

Eventually, a woman in chef’s attire came to the counter. I had a lot of questions for this poor person. Unfortunately, she was scarce on details but informed me that there was no connection to Leon next door, but Glendale Poke and O.M.G. were in fact all housed under the same roof. She also informed me that there were hookah and cocktails available for order on the patio just in front of the restaurant.

Finally, I ordered the two-piece 24 karat gold wings ($6.95) the baller bites ($10.50), which are crispy chicken bites, oven fries, with flaming hot Cheetos and dynamite sauce with pico de gallo, and the HFC Waffle ($12.95), fried chicken tenders served with a waffle and a side of maple syrup and butter.

I ordered everything dine-in, hoping to have everything as fresh and warm as possible. But when my food came out it was all tightly packed into a plastic bag. Sensing my confusion, she informed me all orders are packaged to-go regardless of whether

they are going to be eaten on site. Catfished again.

I took the hint the tightly packed bags were not so subtly sending. Despite the backdrops and props inside, this is not a dine-in kind of place.

When I made it home I found my baller bites had been replaced by the similarly named baller fries ($9.95), which was not what I ordered but, at this point, it was more comical than upsetting. Some more in depth Yelp research revealed I was not the only person who experienced the baller bites/ baller fries switcheroo. The baller fries were nearly identical to the baller bites, but instead of crispy chicken bites they are topped with two fried eggs.

While the photos online show a solid dusting of hot Cheetos, my order looked more like someone had grated Cheetos over my plate. I do not know whether you have experienced the culinary joy of eating fried eggs that have been packaged for a 40-minute commute, but it is a joy to not only find surprise eggs, but to eat them after they have coagulated into a custard.

The 24K wings were pretty on the outside, but upon inspection, all that glitters is not gold. Behind the gold exterior was a taupe colored meat, cooked just enough to be safe to eat. They come with a side of buffalo sauce and ranch, but what is the point of ordering gold wings to flex on Instagram if you’re just going to douse them in buffalo sauce?

The HFC waffle was serviceable, but in much the same way an Eggo Waffle and most any breaded chicken is serviceable.

I wanted to find something positive in the experience, so while I went on a rainy night, there did seem to be some patio space where you could order the ingredients for s'mores for only $1, if you’d ordered a meal, and cook them over one of the fire pits. They also have a variety of beers available on tap, and on weekends they stay open until 2 a.m.

I cannot describe the experience any better than did Yelp reviewer Quirstyn P., who said, “Only eat here if you want to feel like you’re in an episode of the Twilight Zone, and not a good one.”

WHO ARE YOU?

GUARD AGAINST ENMESHMENT DEFINING YOUR IDENTITY

Dear Patti, I’m 15, my sister Emma is 18, and we don’t get along. There are multiple reasons, but as I see it the main reason is because Emma is always acting out and causing our parents grief and I don’t. For most of my life I’ve been watching Emma fi ght with my mom and dad or get into trouble at school or with her friends. My parents said she could continue to live at home, even though she is of age, if she goes to therapy. She’s been going for a few months and also intermittently attends sessions with my parents.

The other night my parents and Emma came home from counseling saying that the therapist thinks I’m too enmeshed with them and that Emma is suffering from negative enmeshment. I understand what the term “enmeshment” means, but I’m not exactly clear about the term “negative enmeshment.” Would you mind explaining what both terms mean? Yes, I do want to get along with my parents and not always fi ght and fuss with them, but I also want to live my own life and be true to myself.

— Alexa Dear Alexa, Enmeshment is an emotional bond with another person that is so enveloping it causes someone to lose their sense of self and become more like the other person.

Let’s imagine your parents wanted you to marry an attorney, have two children and live in a little house with a picket fence. If you created that life to please your parents when you really wanted to stay single and become an artist, this would be an example of enmeshment.

Negative enmeshment is when someone loses their sense of self by becoming exactly what the other person doesn’t like. In the example above, negative enmeshment would be if Emma ran away and joined a cult, partly because of how much your parents would disapprove, and never became an artist.

In order to avoid losing a sense of self in either direction, it’s important to explore various aspects of what you want — not what others want for you. To commence this personal discovery, it might be a good idea for both you and your sister to buy yourselves a diary or journal, go someplace where you won’t be interrupted, and write down your thoughts about the following questions.

WORK: What would be a meaningful career for you? What are you passionate about? If money were no object, what kind of work interests you so much you’d do it for free? What kind of careers or life’s work do your parents have? Are they satisfied?

What kind of work are they hoping you will pursue? How are your goals similar and dissimilar to what your parents want for you?

RELATIONSHIPS: How did your parents interact with each other when you were growing up (e.g., affectionate, respectful, competitive)? How about now? Is theirs a relationship you want to recreate for yourself? Why or why not? What do you most value in a life partner? What kind of friends do you want to have? If you had only one day left on earth, who would you spend it with?

YOU: What’s your true nature? What are your passions? Your talents? What do you value most? What’s fun for you and how do you like to play? Who are you now?

Who do you want to become? What kind of life do you want to live?

Close your eyes and visualize your future self. Imagine that you’re in your 90s and looking back at your life. What kind of life do you need to create so you feel fulfi lled and complete and don’t end up full of regrets? Make a list of 50 to 100 things you’d love to accomplish and feel passionate about. Get out pictures of yourself as a child and look at them. What do you see in this child that you like and want to nourish and protect? What are the longings of this child? If you took a long walk with this child at ages 5, 10 and 15, what would she want to communicate to you?

A healthy emotional bond with your parents is one that doesn’t lead to either you or your sister losing your own identities, dreams or goals but, instead, reinforces them. Be open to guidance and inspiration, but don’t let engulfment (enmeshment) or defiance (negative enmeshment) lead to losing your unique and valuable selves. ■ 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.

HEADS UP Matt Denny’s Ale House Hosts Head-Shaving Fundraiser for Childhood Cancer Research Dozens of local volunteers will let themselves go bald tonight, March 14, as the popular Arcadia bar Matt Denny’s Ale House hosts its 18th annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation signature head-shaving event to raise funds for lifesaving childhood cancer research.

The event’s goal is to raise $60,000 with volunteers shaving their heads to support the foundation’s mission to fund the best research to find cures and better treatments for kids with cancer.

The event will honor 14-year-old Los Angeles resident Gabby Galarneau, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 13 and underwent limb salvage surgery on her left leg to remove a tumor, her knee and six inches of her femur. Now cancer-free, she is learning to walk again following her surgery and is dealing with hearing loss, one of the late effects of her treatment.

She also enjoys serving as one of St. Baldrick’s 2019 Ambassadors.

The annual event began in 2002 and has raised over $785,000 while shaving more than 1,400 heads in the longest-running event of its kind in California.

The event starts at 6 p.m. tonight, March 14, at Matt Denny’s Ale House, 145 E. Huntington Drive, Arcadia. Call (626) 792-8247 ext. 222 or visit stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/126/2019.

COOL ON FIRE

ARSENIO HALL BRINGS HIS STYLISH COMIC FLAIR TO THE ICE HOUSE SATURDAY

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

I

t’s been 30 years since Arsenio Hall took the entertainment world by storm and became the fi rst African-American comic to host his own late-night talk show. Running from 1989 to 1994, “The Arsenio Hall Show” attained white-hot status in the popular culture by providing new blood at a time when Johnny Carson was quitting “The Tonight Show” after 30 years.

The vicious guest-booking war that broke out between Hall and Carson’s replacement, Jay Leno, ultimately helped bring Hall back down to earth. Yet even as he largely seemed to disappear from the cultural radar for long stretches of time, he maintained his razorsharp wit and an unusually passionate fan base that has turned out in force as he mounted a comeback on club stages nationwide.

Hall will be performing Saturday night at the Ice House in Pasadena, unleashing his unflagging comic energy upon the evergrowing array of celebrity scandals that now extends from President Trump’s endless foibles to include the likes of Jussie Smollett, Michael Jackson and R. Kelly. He’s also gearing up to reteam with

his best comic friend, Eddie Murphy, in the longawaited sequel to their 1988 smash-hit comedy fi lm “Coming to America,” and took time to discuss the whirlwind of activity he’s caught up in again.

“I’ve actually put together an hour and was going to shoot it myself and see what I thought of it, which is how Dave Chappelle did his Netfl ix special,” says Hall. “When I got the talk show I stopped doing standup, which is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.

In standup, you’ve got to get out there and see what they’re laughing at in Orlando or Bremerton, Washington. I hate to travel and when I started making paper in Hollywood I stopped doing it and got lazy.

“But now, I got a little money in my bank account and I’m doing the Ice House as a fi nal test and then next month not sure where, but maybe back to Cleveland to tape it,” he continues. “But Chicago is another option because I started doing standup there after college. I went there to audition for Second City and did my fi rst open mic at the Comedy Cottage in Rosemont there. I went on stage and fell in love with standup ever since.”

Hall has defi nitely noticed how much the comedy world has changed in his years away, as he observes fellow comedy stars living in fear of even one politically incorrect joke being taped and turning into a viral sensation that can lead to a career-destroying backlash. He notes that amid a Comedy Store appearance earlier this month, he had to implore a man in the front row to turn off his phone when he saw the man secretly fi lming him from under his table.

“There’s a lot of ‘gotcha’ games now, and I didn’t have my jokes the way I wanted them to be yet, so I asked him to put the camera away and just watch the show,” says Hall. “Technology has made it harder to prepare new material and not come home and fi nd your new work on YouTube already. You want comedy to be reckless, and we have to leave our hu-

morists alone and let them do their thing. Laughter is medicine and if we’re not careful we’re going to be putting Kool-Aid in the medicine.”

That said, the 63-year-old also points out that every comic decides for themselves about where they draw the line on how far to go with their content. He particularly notes: “I may not like what Roseanne said, but I’ll fight a death match for her right to do it.

I won’t ever criticize another comic because I don’t want anyone bothering me.”

Of the seemingly endless parade of ridiculous celebrity news that hits daily, Hall notes that R. Kelly’s current legal merry-go-round of issues including late child support payments and allegations of sexual relations with dozens of underage girls is “so painful.”

Yet he also fi nds plenty of humor in the fact that he won a season of President Donald Trump’s former reality competition series “Celebrity Apprentice.”

“As a black man and a father, R. Kelly is so painful on a couple of levels, but my humor allows me to get through the day,” says Hall. “If R. Kelly could fly, l bet he would try right now. I use that laugh to stop thinking of how he destroyed so many young women’s lives. If you’re born poor and black in Chicago you don’t need it made harder by the producer of the ‘Ignition’ remix.

“I never encountered Trump saying the ‘N-word’ personally, but I had a conversation with him on the birther issue one time and that was possibly more intense than hearing the Pope saying the N word,” he adds. “If I was gullible, he would have made me look stupid. He said he had detectives in Africa and would have information soon. He’s like a pimp in Cleveland: he’ll look you in the eye and lie to you.” ■ Arsenio Hall performs at 8 p.m. Sat. at the Ice House, 24. N. Mentor Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $25.

WILD CHILD BRINGS THE DOORS TO LIFE AT THE ROSE DAVE BROCK, LEAD VOCALIST FOR WILD CHILD APPEARING AT THE ROSE SATURDAY, LAUNCHED THE DOORS TRIBUTE BAND SOME TWO DECADES AGO TO RECREATE THE SOUND THAT HAD BEEN MISSING SINCE THE 1971 PASSING OF JIM MORRISON. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Brock moved to Southern California in the 1980s to attend Long Beach State University. While there, he landed the lead role in “The Jim Morrison Rock Opera,” produced by Morrison’s sister, Anna Morrison Graham and her husband, Allan. Before the production even started, Brock and the show were creating a buzz in the rock press.

After the production’s conclusion, Brock formed Wild Child to keep carrying The Doors torch. In 1986, the act was a triple sell-out at the Whiskey A-Go-Go at its first show there. With the looks, the style and the note-perfect sound of the original, the band has gone on to pack venues not only around the US but the world as well.

Brock portrayed Morrison in the film comedy, “Death Becomes Her,” and is so authentic that he performs frequently with former Doors members Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger.

Visit wildchild.info. — John Sollenberger Doors open at 6 p.m. and music starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at The Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $24 to $34. Call (888) 645-5006 or visit wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com.

BETWEEN SHOWS PROMOTING HIS LATEST SOLO ALBUM, OLD 97’S FRONTMAN RHETT MILLER JOINS CALDECOTT-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR DAN SANTAT TO SIGN THEIR CHILDREN’S BOOK SATURDAY MORNING AT VROMAN’S

T

here’s a virtual universe of podcasts about music, quite a few of which focus on what it takes to compose. In conceiving his podcast “Wheels Off,” songwriter and Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller could have taken an approach similar to podcasts hosted by Chris Shiflett (“Walking the Floor”), Aimee Mann and Ted Leo (“The Art of Process”), Joe Pug (“The Working Songwriter”) or Ross Golan (“And the Writer Is…”), which dig into the nitty gritty of songwriting, road life, and hanging onto your sanity.

Instead, “the messy reality of the creative life,” as Miller intones during each show’s introduction, is the prevailing topic as he talks shop with artists of music (the ever-interesting Rosanne Cash, Portugal the Man guitarist Eric Howk, Rob Thomas), acting (Fred Armisen), comedy (Will Forte), and graphic design (Aaron Draplin).

The Old 97’s have durably remained Miller’s main gig since he and bassist Murry Hammond formed the band in 1993, even as he has spun his creativity in different directions. In Novem-

ber ATO released his eighth solo album, “The Messenger,” and last week Little, Brown Books for Young Readers published “No More Poems! A Book in Verse That Just Gets Worse,” a collection of 23 rhyming poems written

by Miller and illustrated by Caldecott Medal-winning artist Dan Santat. Those two projects bring him to town this week.

In his book’s introduction, while apologizing for breaking the usual rules of grammar and punctuation Miller describes his “silly, subversive poems” as “littlekid mind explosions where the line between dream and reality blurs.” Let the fun begin. Santat’s colorful drawings share some of the wise-aleck humor of “The Replacements,” the animated series he created for Disney, and sneak in well-placed “Old 97’s Forever” graffiti with guitar logos. Parents will no doubt relate to the subject matter — “Hairs,” “I Want a Dog,” “Stinky-Mouth You,” “Weirdos of the World Unite!” — although perhaps less so to the self-explanatory “Rock Star Dad.” One can only hope that Miller, a father of two, wasn’t rhyming from experience

when he wrote “Brotherly Love”: “Please don’t drown your brother/ In the bathtub, Sweetie Pea/ He can be a twerp sometimes/ I know, believe you me/ But if you dunk him three times/ And he only comes up two/ The cops’ll be all over us/ There’s nothing I can do.”

Still touring behind “The Messenger,” Miller’s playing a string of West Coast dates, including a concert at Pico Union in downtown LA tonight (Thursday, March 14) and club gigs in Huntington Beach and San Diego this weekend. While here, he and Santat are taking over Story Time Saturday morning at Vroman’s. Seems likely there’ll be more than just the 4- to 8-yearold target audience for “Rock Star Dad.” ■ Rhett Miller and Dan Santat sign “No More Poems! A Book in Verse That Just Gets Worse” at Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, 10-11 a.m.

Saturday, March 16; admission is free, but anyone wishing to have books signed must purchase at least one copy at Vroman’s. Info: (626) 449-5320. Rhettmiller. com, dantat.com, vromansbookstore.com

TRAX

BY BLISS

KINAN AZMEH, Uneven Sky (Dreyer Gaido): ★★★★

Best known as part of cellist Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, the Syrian-raised, New York-based clarinetist’s soulful, tonally magnificent artistry in concert can change how you think about music’s essence. Here, his improvisation, composing and performance service his vision of music — be it classical, jazz, or Middle Eastern — as a geographytranscending continuum. Opening with the zesty “Love on 139th Street in D,” this double-album set’s first half also features Azmeh’s “The Fence, the Rooftop and the Distant Sea,” a tautly absorbing, fivepart duet with Ma. Concertos by Kareem Roustom and Zaid Jabri comprise the second half, along with Dia Succari’s beautifully melodic “Paroles,” a fittingly cinematic suite showcasing Azmeh’s dynamic range. kinanazmeh.com

OVER THE RHINE, Love & Revelation (Great Speckled Dog): ★★★½ Over three decades Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler have steadily refined their sound, replacing Edge-style guitars with cellos, cornets, rootsy acoustic instruments, and Detweiler’s piano, sensitively arranged around Bergquist’s expressive, balm-like voice. Titled after a favorite Joe Henry email signature and poetically landscaped with natural imagery, the Ohio duo’s 15th studio album balances grief (“Los Lunas”), gentle joys (“Rocking Chair”), spiritual contemplation (“May God Love You [Like You’ve Never Been Loved]”), and hope (“Broken Angels,” “Betting on the Muse”) with grace and the kind of melodies that lace through heartstrings. overtherhine.com

TEEN, Good Fruit (Carpark): ★★★½

Sisters Teeny, Lizzie and Katherine Lieberson waste no time, ingratiating listeners with “Popular Taste,” the hooky opener of their smartly produced fourth album, whose carefree waterfalls of synths contrast with its sly social commentary, and the ’80s-resurrecting drum effects and dance-pop of “Ripe.” Both Prince and Kate Bush echo through “Connection” and the tempo-shifting drama of “Shadow,” while tight sibling harmonies are particularly effective when rising together in solidarity during breakup power ballad “Pretend” and thumping, accept-me-as-I-am anthem “Runner.” At the Echo in Echo Park Tuesday, March 19. teentheband.net

shortly before Valentine’s Day, stating: “I love her, I adore her and I couldn’t live without her.” The Catholic Agitator dedicated its February issue to Dietrich, who has written two books.

Morris, meanwhile, soldiers on with a crew of a dozen CW volunteers mostly from Los Angeles and Orange counties who prepare about 3,000 meals each week at the Hippie Kitchen’s outdoor dining area on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, starting around 9:30 a.m. On Fridays, they also offer homeless supportive services like dental and foot care clinics along with legal referrals and shopping carts to push their belongings from place to place.

The downtrodden that they serve have been rousted by street sweepers from the Los Angeles Sanitation Department and sometimes arrested by LAPD cops who reportedly continue to confiscate their carts despite a 2016 injunction against the practice issued by a judge who said homeless people needed the carts to survive on the streets.

“They get arrested for owning stolen property inside the shopping cart even though they’re pushing it,” said Jerry Jones, director of public policy at the Urban Law Center in Los Angeles, which got its start in a construction trailer at the Hippie Kitchen’s garden years ago.

Jones said there’s currently a network of more than a dozen providers dealing with the homeless crisis on Skid Row, many of them faith-based, “but ultimately what they need is affordable housing.”

Morris noted that the religiously inspired LACW soup kitchen has the distinction of not proselytizing to clients. “We’re not out to save souls. We want to be friends,” she said. “Yesterday, we had a giant downpour.

We were giving out ponchos to everybody. We try to make their lives a little less harsh. We don’t think they need to be preached at.” She made it plain that the Los Angeles Archdiocese has no involvement with the “independent” Los Angeles Catholic Worker movement and its houses of hospitality.

In 1998, Morris and Dietrich clashed with then Los Angeles Catholic Archbishop Roger Mahony. They joined a group of protesters opposed to the archdiocese’s new $20 million Our Lady of Angels Cathedral and reportedly climbed a fence to stop a groundbreaking ceremony presided over by Mahony, shouting “No new Cathedral! Spend God’s money on God’s poor!” according to accounts in the Los Angeles Times.

A 31-year-old Catholic Worker named Kaleb Havens undertook a similarly bold action last year when he chained himself to a fence outside a Skid Row building that once housed a Salvation Army shelter and commenced a lengthy Lenten hunger strike starting on Ash Wednesday, demanding that the city of LA provide

more housing and supportive services for the homeless.

“It was his idea,” Morris said of Havens. “We supported him.”

Archbishop Jose Horatio Gomez, Mahony’s successor, acknowledged a meeting in June 2018 with members of the Los Angeles Catholic Worker, according to a statement released by the archdiocese. In it, Gomez was described as having “deep respect for the founder of the Catholic Worker movement, the Servant of God Dorothy Day. He has written and spoken often about her importance.”

The statement, however, noted that the archdiocese’s work for the “vulnerable and those in need” is carried out through its parishes and through “official” agencies such as Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent De Paul Society.

The Rev. Andy Bales, CEO of the Union Rescue Mission, is the largest faith provider on Skid Row, with headquarters in a $29 million building. He called Morris a “shining light of compassion” for homeless people, noting she shows up every year to mark National Homeless Memorial Day on Dec. 21 to pay tribute to those who died “and she prays and tells personal stories about them.”

But Bales, who lives in Pasadena, also recalls Morris, Dietrich and their supporters storming a 2010 press conference by police who were announcing an injunction to ban drug dealers from Skid Row. “They had a megaphone and were shouting me down and they had big pictures shaming the police,” he said. “I think their love and compassion overwhelms any judgment of a sense of order. They see good in all people whether they’re drug dealers or an abandoned soul. They don’t judge anyone.”

Morris declined to comment on Bales’ remarks.

She acknowledged that there have been incidents at the Hippie Kitchen involving potentially violent people, but insists that the behavior in the garden is “admirable.”

“Occasionally we have disputes that could go to ugliness, but we’re all trained in non-violence and forever watching to see if there might be a problem. And we’ve stepped in to take care of it,” Morris said.

She added: “We never called the police. We don’t do it because we’ve seen that things get worse when you call the police.”

So it goes with a woman of faith who knows who she is and what she believes in. “I no longer believe in a God who walks the Earth,” she said, adding, however, that she does believe in God as manifested

by Jesus, “who told us to serve and to do what we can to help the poor.” ■

ERIC BRACE, PETER COOPER & THOMM JUTZ, Riverland (Red Beet): ★★★

A thoughtful acoustic concept album attuned to Mississippi’s conflicted history and musical heritage.

The rippling melody of the Nashville trio’s “River City” and the jauntier “King of the Keelboat Men” convey bygone river life as persuasively as the bluesy “Drowned and Washed Away,” about the twin plagues of segregation and the 1927 flood. Other highlights: the striking “Mississippi Magic,” about Rev. Will D. Campbell’s “radical” love-and-justice theology amid civil rights-era violence; “As Far as I Can See” and the amusing “It Might Be Hollywood,” which imagine trenchant commentary by William Faulkner. redbeetrecords.com

Driving the Beat DRUMMER DANNY SERAPHINE TAKES FANS THROUGH THE HITS OF CHICAGO WITH HIS BAND CTA FRIDAY AT THE ROSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI The 50 years since drummer Danny Seraphine helped form the legendary rock band Chicago have taken him to an incredible mix of high and low points. Teaming with his lifelong friends guitarist Terry Kath and clarinetist Walt Parazaider, the trio cherry-picked the best musicians from an array of the Windy City’s best local club bands— creating a juggernaut that became one of the top acts of the 1970s and ‘80s.

But when the national radio scene turned against horn-driven acts at the dawn of the 1990s, a rift formed within Chicago over whether to stay the course or move away from the brass stylings that made them famous. Seraphine was ousted, leading to a 16-year break from the music industry before he returned in 2006 as the head of a new spin-off band (alongside fellow former Chicago keyboardist/vocalist Bill Champlain) called CTA and toured the world again playing his former band’s greatest hits.

CTA will be performing Friday at the Rose in Pasadena as well as the Arcadia Performing Arts Center on March 30, in shows on their “Take Me Back to Chicago” tour that should match the high energy the band displayed in its prior engagement there last August. While he was sad to report that Champlin will be taking 18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.14.19

time off the road after a recent battle with pneumonia, he stressed they will still put on a great show.

“The band is a force, with Mark Bonilla on guitar, Ed Roth on keyboards, Tony Grant on lead vocals and Travis Davis on bass,” says Seraphine. “First of all it’s a great band, and everybody loves, enjoys and respects the music. I was involved in all the early records and all but a couple of the hits, so there’s an authenticity you don’t get with many tribute bands or bands with one original or former member, and some bands even have no originals.

“The secret sauce for everybody is doing something you like to do, because then it’s really not work,” he continues.

“You really have to appreciate when you’re able to make a living doing what you love to do because then you’ll do it well and for a long time. Drumming is what God put me here for. I stopped playing for about 15 years when I left Chicago in 1990. It was a tough road back, but I think I’m a better drummer than I am now.”

Indeed, Seraphine recalls that forming Chicago saved him from a life of potential danger on the streets, as he was a high school dropout getting into trouble with local gangs in the late 1960s. The band moved to Los Angeles in the summer of

1968, with seven members crammed into a two-bedroom house in Hollywood. While that cramped situation kept most women away in their early days, once fame hit, Seraphine recalls they fully engaged in the free-spirited lifestyle of that era in rock.

“We did all right, since it was the late ‘60s and ‘70s and there was the sexual revolution to begin with,” Seraphine recalls. “Add in rock and roll and it was never a problem. At first we were ignored by groupies because they were always into the British musicians’ accents more, but once we got our album released it changed.

“The groupie thing was pretty cool, because they just wanted to be part of the culture, and it wasn’t just sex,” he adds.

“They liked being a part of the concerts, and they were really nice people. The top groupies were known as the GTOs. People used to really look down on it but that wasn’t fair. They inspired a lot of songs.

At the same time, I wish I had been a better husband and father back then. But that was the times, and now we’re settled down and I only get high on the music.” ■ CTA performs at 9 p.m. Friday at the Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $28 to $48.

‘FIVE FEET APART’ HAS MUCH TO SAY ABOUT LIFE BENEATH ITS QUIET SURFACE

H

ospitals are the last place on earth you might expect to find romance. After all, they’re filled with suffering and worry about the potential for dying — not exactly the setting for thoughts of endless love.

Yet, they are also inherently dramatic places, as medical staff members nobly work to save lives and patients bravely hope, pray and strive to get better.

The film “Five Feet Apart” tries to mine this intense terrain for a tear-jerking teen romance that manages to find plenty to say to viewers of all ages.

The film stars Haley Lu Richardson as Stella, a teenage girl who has battled cystic fibrosis (also called “CF” in the film) her entire life. The debilitating lung disease causes its victims to produce far too much mucus, and over time worsens to the point where they will choke to death if they can’t get a lung transplant. And even if they do get a transplant, the new lungs typically work for only about five years, basically serving as a way to buy time for scientists to hopefully find a cure rather than providing a full new lease on life.

Despite the many limitations that CF places on her ability to engage in most life activities, Stella is ambitious and maintains a lengthy bucket list of her hopes and dreams. One day, she notices a new boy named Will (Cole Sprouse) down the hall from her in the special CF wing she’s living in long-term.

Even as Will — who’s in an experimental drug treatment program that has long odds of succeeding — makes it clear that he believes striving to get better is futile, he is smitten by Stella and wants to draw her. Stella convinces Will to let her lead him in maintaining his medicine regimen and other key factors for his health in exchange for the right to draw her, and slowly a romance that also provides many philosophical lessons is born.

The biggest challenge facing the pair is that CF 20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 03.14.19

patients must remain at least six feet apart, because germ transmission between patients is particularly dangerous. But in the name of love and some measure of control over her life, Stella declares that she and Will will live five feet apart instead.

“Five” is a quiet film, lacking in car chases, gunfights and intergalactic superhero warfare. Yet its willingness to buck the tide of all the noise that fills our multiplexes and speak softly and intensely to viewers’ emotions is daring in its own right.

This is a film that can feel claustrophobic at times, since it almost entirely takes place amid the halls and rooms of a hospital. But director Justin Baldoni and the writing team of Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis (who are all making their feature-film debuts) aren’t lacking in imagination, but rather simply providing a real sense of the loneliness inherent in long hospital stays and the ways in which patients find ways to make the best of their situations. As someone who overcame a chronic illness that placed me in the hospital over 30 times in 12 years, I can attest that they capture every aspect of the nerve-wracking experience perfectly.

Richardson and Sprouse make a cute couple, but the world-weary wisdom they’ve been forced to accept as they contemplate life, death and whether there’s an afterlife far earlier than most of their peers makes them a compelling one too. This is a film that hinges almost completely on the strengths of the two leads, and they deliver by showing a love that is selfless, true and profound.

Ultimately, “Five Feet Apart” provides a welcome respite from the superhero bombast of “Captain Marvel” and the upcoming horrors of Jordan Peele’s terror-fest “Us.” It won’t blow you away or leave you with a sense of awe, but it will speak to your heart, and these days that’s a beautiful gift indeed. n

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 ìgeneral 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: Date: 2019 Time: Place:

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) 758-8052 for information regarding the trusteeís sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.homesearch.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-1341.

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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderís sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderís sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

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 recorderís 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 this 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.
