Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most

But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity.

Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony.

With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage

effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case.

In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s

number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners especially in times like these.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future.

*Housing Wealth for Homeowners - 62+ Reaches $7.7 Trillion in Q1 2020: NRMLA/RiskSpan Reverse Mortgage Market Index (RMMI) Q1 2000 - Q1 2020 Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Be prepared: It’s not just a motto

“M

ommy! I got to kick a man!” The excited little Girl Scout had just finished the first portion of an Impact Personal Safety kids class, specifically the physical self-defense drills. I have never forgotten what she told her mom that day! We teach and practice effective emotional, verbal and — when push comes to shove (excuse the expression) — physical self-defense. If I had a magic wand, I would make our nonprofit’s classes mandatory for all ages starting at 6. Do I promote running around kicking men? No, I do not. What I do promote is a more thorough relationship with reality. And part of that reality is that roughly half of the world’s population has been brainwashed into thinking they are helpless in the face of the “superior” physical attributes and power of men. In the Unreality Department, the male half has also been indoctrinated by every form of entertainment into thinking they are invincible. For example, a fight scene showing a man totally unfazed after getting hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. (Yes, that was in a movie.) Because of this, even men are afraid of other men, which is not OK for anyone.

I scream (often loudly) when I see men threatening or manipulating women without facing serious consequences. I want women and girls learning to deliver in the moment, for real, consequences; a pinch, a yell, a kick. Brains count more than brawn in most instances.

Why don’t we prepare girls and women for jerks? As it is now, we raise females to have two unrealistic expectations about boys and men: 1) There will always be a man around to defend you; 2) All men will behave themselves.

Let’s look at the facts: Only a week ago, a new study by the World Health Organization reaffirmed that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be assaulted in her lifetime, and that’s most likely a conservative number. (And this number has not moved for decades.) I can personally vouch for these stats. Of the three daughters in my well-off, privileged, Norwegian American family in South Dakota, all three of us were assaulted.

When we use the phrase “women are assaulted,” what’s missing? The perpetrators, that’s who! Statistically, while some women can be violent, it’s almost always men. Hiding this fact via language creates the image that females are passively waiting to become statistics.

Since the early ’90s, I’ve been on a global mission to make empowerment self-defense portable, accessible and affordable. The following are the most frequent objections I hear.

• Learning self-defense just creates more violence, right? No! Wearing a seatbelt doesn’t cause more car accidents; it is merely common-sense preparation before driving. Same thing with self-defense. I have stopped violence by being aware of what was happening. I’ve stopped fights. I’ve stopped someone from assaulting me. I merely looked at a sketchy white guy once, and he backed off!

• It isn’t ladylike to yell or fight back. Is it ladylike to be raped or killed? Maintaining anachronistic notions of ladylike behavior is absurd when it comes to self-protection. Being a lousy target is not an either/or proposition. I am a “femme,” yet I will be vicious if it comes to protecting myself or my loved ones.

• Won’t it scare my child if I put her in a self-defense class? Children are short; they are not stupid. They see what’s going on. They feel vulnerable. They know that mean people exist in the world, starting in preschool when they interact with their first mean kid. It’s important to practice saying things that are not considered polite: “Stop,” “Back away” and “I will make a huge scene if you come closer.”

• Men should stop being violent instead of women preparing for it. Yes, men should stop being violent.

However, the men most apt to attack women and kids do not give a rat’s patootie about that idea. An ideal world and the one we live in are different planets, light years away from each other.

You don’t have fire drills in the middle of a fire. Similarly, people need to practice scary-people exercises in safe environments. Yelling can fly out the window during an adrenaline surge. Practicing in a lower-stress class will make that yell accessible when there is an actual threat.

Semi-spoiler alert: A brilliant new movie I urge you to see is “Promising Young Woman.” And… how I longed to yell to the protagonist in her last scene: “Go for his eyes! Go for his neck! Go for his groin!”

For goodness’ sakes, he had one arm out of commission. Had she any practice at identifying the hard parts of her body and exploding them into the soft parts of the bad guy, the outcome would have been very different.

■ RESIDENTS IN 4 STATES CASH IN: The phone lines will be ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 48 hours, packages containing actual Gold Vault Bricks still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold minted by the Federated Mint are being shipped to residents in 4 states. These are the only Gold Vault Bricks known to exist and everyone wants them. That’s because they’re still loaded with Jumbo Gold Bars bearing the name of The First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 4 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 4 states must pay $124 per ounce if any remain.

Residents snap up Gold Bars issued in 4 States

Heavy Gold Vault Bricks loaded with valuable Jumbo State Bars layered in 24 Karat Gold are up for grabs as thousands stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold bars; now residents in 4 states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable bars found inside just by covering the minimum gold fee set for state residents within the next 48 hours

“It’s like a modern day gold rush,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

That’s because actual Gold Vault Bricks™ still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America™ and the state they were once destined for are up for grabs as thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold. Now any resident of those states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable gold found inside. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold in all.

And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 4 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce which (Continued on next page)

totals $980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these gold vault bricks. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 4 states must pay $124 per ounce which totals $2,480 if any remain.

“As special counsel to Federated Mint I earn my pay delivering breaking news. And today’s announcement confirming the release of Gold Vault Bricks to the general public is as big as it gets. Believe me, I know how valuable these Gold Vault Bricks are to resellers, collectors, dealers and anyone else who gets their hands on them,” Withrow said.

“So my advice is this, anyone who gets an opportunity to get their hands on one of these Gold Vault Bricks better jump at the chance before they’re all gone,” Withrow said.

“These Gold Vault Bricks loaded with massive 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold make the most impressive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and any other occasion, especially for that hard-to-buy-for person,” Withrow said.

According to Ms. Withrow, since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, today and tomorrow are intended as a “special 48 hour release” for the benefit of persons living in; CA, AZ, NV, and OR. This gives residents of those states a fair chance to claim the Gold Vault Bricks and all the valuable gold loaded inside for themselves.

But, Ms. Withrow added, “The Gold Vault Bricks are only available as inventory permits during the special 48 hour release and once they’re gone, they’re gone.” The emeritus Treasurer added, “Remember this, these Gold Vault Bricks contain a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold and we have no power to stop dealers, resellers, collectors and the like from buying up all the Gold Vault Bricks they can get their hands on and reselling them for a big profit,” Withrow said.

Anyone who fails to obtain them during this special 48 hour release may be forced to buy them later in the secondary market from a dealer, reseller or collector at a hefty premium. ”We already know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of agents are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 48 hours to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Withrow said.

“That’s why Federated Mint set up the State Distribution Hotlines in order to make sure residents in the 4 designated states listed in today’s newspaper publication can get them now,” Withrow said.

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they live in one of the 4 states listed in today’s newspaper and call the State Distribution Hotlines before the special 48 hour release ends midnight tomorrow. ■

NEVER BEFORE SEEN: THESE FIRST BANK OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA JUMBO GOLD BARS ARE THE ONLY ONES KNOWN TO EXIST

VALUABLE: THESE ARE THE FOUR 5-OUNCE JUMBO GOLD BARS SEALED AWAY IN EACH GOLD VAULT BRICK BEARING THE STATE DESTINATION

How much are the Gold Vault Bricks worth: The answer is, it’s impossible to say. But, it would be foolish for anyone to try and determine the value of these Gold Vault Bricks based on today’s price of gold. Here’s why. Gold, silver and all precious metal values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But what we do know is that these are the only Gold Vault Bricks still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars known to exist. In fact, the value of the pure 24 Karat Gold layered content is just a bonus for anyone lucky enough to get one of these Gold Vault Bricks because there’s no telling how much the actual collector value could be worth. That makes the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce which totals $980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these Gold Vault Bricks a real steal since residents living outside of the designated 4 states must pay $124 per ounce, which totals $2,480, if any remain.

Why the vault fee is so low: Since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, Federated Mint has re-allocated Gold Vault Bricks to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the gold is up for grabs and now residents in 4 states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable bars found inside. These are the only Gold Vault Bricks known to exist and everyone wants them.

That’s because they’re still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of The First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of 24 Karat Gold and valuable bullion copper in all. And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 4 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 4 states must pay $ 124 per ounce if any remain.

■ FIRST LOOK INSIDE THE GOLD VAULT BRICKS: Pictured above are the Gold Vault Bricks containing the only Jumbo State

Gold Bars known to exist bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. State residents are rushing to get them because the Gold Vault Bricks are still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold. To claim you Vault Brick, just call 1-800-749-6917 GB2179 before the deadline ends.

Everyone lucky enough to get them better hold on to them because there’s no telling just how much they could be worth.

Boys & Girls Club helps kids through pandemic uncertainty

Second graders Jada Whitfield and Ra El Harts have fun at the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena.

s the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena’s chief executive officer, Lisa J. Cavelier couldn’t imagine her facility without children in it.

That’s exactly what happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however.

“When last year began, we were open as normal as an after-school program,” Cavelier said.

“Then March hit and we closed. We took advice of the school district and health department. I couldn’t imagine we were just going to shut down and not have kids in the building for the rest of the year.”

With the blessing of the health department, the two Boys & Girls Clubs of Pasadena opened in mid-June for an eight-week summer session, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., four days a week.

“It was phenomenal,” Cavelier said. “We had no cases, no exposures. What we saw in the kids was really important to us. The connections that the kids were able to make in a smaller atmosphere were really important.

“We opened one building with 70 kids. That’s very small for us. The kids were so cooped up that they thrived on being together and they thrived in a smaller atmosphere.”

The kids were in small pods and Centers for Disease Control guidelines were followed.

The pods were helmed by adult leaders and, together, they formed family-like ties. When the summer session was over, the children and adults took it hard.

“The children were so emotional and crying when it was over,” Cavelier said. “It was so impactful to them. We invited them to be with us, be safe and to have a sweet pod grouping.

We did great things together.”

Things are different now. The two Boys & Girls Clubs of Pasadena reopened in August in a modified and limited way, Cavelier said.

“We’re not an afterschool program,” she added. “It’s three full days a week, but we have smaller numbers because of COVID. We’re going to be afterschool in the fall.

“Right now, we’re monitoring and supervising distance learning two-thirds of the day. We make sure the kids are in class, following their teachers and not wandering around doing other things online. We’re watching them like a hawk.”

Once school ends, Cavelier said she and the staff want the laptops shut. She wants to see kids running around. The club bought plastic shields and plexiglass.

“A lot of the kids aren’t doing well with distance learning,” she said. “We’re committed to helping with that. The notion that kids have been really hurt by this is real.”

Since March, the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena has made decisions as a team. They have a three-part mission: what is the best decision for the children and families, what is the right thing to do by the staff, and how does the staff watch out for and help the long-term sustainability of the club.

“We’ve continued to thrive and I’m proud of that,” Chevelier said. “We’ve had some solid values driving us through those decisions. The notion that kids have been really hurt by this is real.”

Cavelier can’t wait until the sounds of a full club return.

“There’s nothing better than seeing kids just running into the building,” she said. “My office is near the front and it’s my happiest noise.”

Rob McClinton is Innovate Pasadena’s new president

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

ob McClinton believes every new opportunity comes with a set of opportunities in which to indulge.

As the new president of Innovate Pasadena, he’s looking forward to tackling those, and keeping the nonprofit heading in the right direction.

McClinton was recently elected president by a unanimous vote of Innovate Pasadena’s board of directors. The volunteer-led organization’s mission is to connect and grow Pasadena’s thriving innovation communities.

“Our goal is to attract people, companies and capital to our region and to connect those that already call Pasadena home,” McClinton said.

McClinton will be supported by ImmediInnovate Pasadena President ate Past President Beth Kuchar, who remains Rob McClinton is hoping to help on the board as newly elected chairperson, businesses set up internships and continues to lead the public event series, once the pandemic eases.

“Ask Me Anything;” and newly elected board officers Vice President and Secretary Aaron B. Wheeler and Treasurer Erick Herring, among others.

McClinton joined the Innovate Pasadena board in 2018 and was elected vice president in 2019.

“I was delighted to join it several years ago,” McClinton said. “The city was part of its original founding and it still has members on the board. We’ve been working deeply with its economic development departments.”

In addition to his role as president, McClinton is the founder and CEO of Designing Nation Holdings, a hosting and online marketing company focused on small and local businesses, which includes Small World Communications. He is a veteran of the Southern California tech scene with roots in several Idealab startups like GoTo.com and X1 Technologies. He provides leadership mentoring through his consulting practice, Artistic Leader.

Innovate Pasadena was founded in 2012 by community and business leaders from Caltech, Art Center, Pasadena City College, the city, and local established and emerging tech companies.

“At the time, the ecosystem was very quiet,” said McClinton, who studied economics at Loyola University Chicago. “Pasadena has a deep history when it comes to technology and innovation. But it’s always been very quiet.

“The role of the organization was to bring more attention to it so those businesses can gain more employees and be aware of the opportunities here.”

With more capital investment, the “whole ecosystem can get stronger,” he added.

Under McClinton’s leadership, Innovate Pasadena will expand programming and engagement with local businesses, underrepresented founders and the legacy technology industries such as aerospace that help define Pasadena as an innovation hub.

Like most organizations, Innovate Pasadena was forced to host virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that COVID-19 vaccines have been introduced, events may become hybrid outings.

“My hope is to strengthen our connections with the technology and design companies that are core to our original founding,” he said.

His goal is to expand Innovate Pasadena’s reach to companies that aren’t normally associated with technology firms. For example, the restaurants that surround the technology incubator Idealab are suffering.

“When the technology folks started working at home, the lunch business just collapsed,” McClinton said. “The lunch crowd was a huge part of their business. It was such a blow when they stopped going into the office. The ecosystem includes everyone, not just our companies.

“We have to take a broader look at supporting companies. It’s a more holistic view of building a strong, healthy and resilient ecosystem.”

Once the pandemic eases, McClinton is looking forward to partnering with Pasadena City College so its staff can help place its interns.

“We have a relationship with businesses,” he said. “Every year, businesses want to bring on interns and don’t know how. They have a lot of stuff on their plate, and where on your to-do list is learning how to bring on interns? “(At) the school, they want to make sure their students are placed. We’re going to serve an intermediatory role. We want to turn something that’s too long and unnecessarily complex for a business to understand to something that’s communicated in a way that’s simple, clean and easy to understand.”

Frostig School to host virtual gala fundraiser

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

F

rostig School’s two locations will celebrate the resilience and accomplishments of their students during the virtual fundraiser, “Falcon’s Flight: Sky’s the Limit,” at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 20.

The Pasadena and West Los Angeles locations serve children and teens who have complex learning challenges, said Yuki Jimbo, The Frostig Center’s director of development. The West Los Angeles school rents space from Bel Air Presbyterian Church on Mulholland Drive.

Frostig School has been serving children, teens and young adults with learning challenges since 1951. It offers a full range of academic and support services for children with learning differences such as dyslexia, processing disorders, high-functioning autism and ADHD. The fundraiser will feature inspiring stories, student performances and auction packages, all virtually.

“A lot of other organizations are having to flip the switch and pivot and go to online,” Jimbo said.

“We wanted ours to be different, not the same old, same old.”

To keep patrons entertained, comedian and trivia master Ryan Budds will serve as emcee. He will guide guests through the program, which includes short trivia quizzes.

Students will entertain as well with solos in addition to a poem about autism.

“We do have students with that diagnosis,” she said. “Frostig’s niche is helping children with complex learning difficulties. It’s not just autism and ADD. These are students with multiple diagnoses, which makes them more complex and challenging as far as educating goes. Frostig is up to that task.”

The event may be virtual, but food is still involved. Guests may select a dinner party package prepared by the award-winning restaurant Sierra Fusion in Sierra Madre and have it delivered to their home. For something lighter, guests may choose to enjoy a charcuterie box prepared by the La Canada Cheese Shop.

Tickets are $5,000 for gold sponsors; $2,500 for silver sponsors; $1,500 for a dinner party for eight guests; $800 for a dinner party for four guests and $125 for VIP tickets.

The most important aspect of the fundraiser is the students and parents get to tell their stories.

“We’ll have interviews with students about how Frostig has made a difference in their lives,” Jimbo said.

“We also interviewed a couple of parents about how it has changed the lives of their children and families. They say Frostig makes a world of difference and improves their outlook on life and their future. We’re proud of that.”

The fundraiser will add funds to the general operating costs. The students’ education is funded by either the school district or private pay.

“Even that is not enough to cover the costs,” Jimbo said.

Executive Director Dean Conklin added, “We can’t wait to gather virtually with our community of Frostig families, alumni and friends. We have much to celebrate, to share and to look forward to.”

COVID Count Reported cases in Pasadena and surrounding areas as of March 14 South Pasadena: 1,286; Alhambra: 6,713; Altadena: 3,234; Arcadia: 2,624; Glendale: 19,268; Monrovia: 3,100; San Gabriel: 3,164 Total confirmed cases in Pasadena: 11,018 Total deaths in Pasadena: 327 Total confirmed cases in LA County: 1,209,632 Total deaths in LA County: 22,446 • Los Angeles County continues to have a decline in new cases and hospitalizations; the county reported 793 new cases and 42 deaths for a total of 1,209,632 cases and 22,446 deaths since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitalized patients in the county decreased from 979 to 951 on March 12 with 281 in the ICU, the lowest level since before the winter upsurge. The Pasadena Public Health Department also announced March 12 that vaccine eligibility has been expanded to people with severe health conditions. People with severe health conditions will be asked for proof of their medical condition and name.

Currently, more than 38,000 Pasadenans have received at least one dose of the vaccine while over 22,000 have received both doses.

• As new COVID-19 infection rates remain in the single digits, Pasadena moved into the Red Tier restrictions on March 14. City officials confirmed the shift after the state met the threshold of administering 2 million vaccines in low-income communities throughout California. On March 12, local restaurants were allowed to welcome indoor customers, and movie theaters and fitness centers will be open at a limited capacity. Retail stores, shopping malls and personal care businesses were allowed to increase their indoor capacity to 50% as well. Restaurant servers are required to wear a mask and face shield, but with the new rules, the county strongly recommends employees upgrade to higher-grade N95 or KN95 masks, or double-masking and a face shield. Health officials also recommend restaurant employees be vaccinated as food service workers are eligible for receiving doses.

• Pasadena recently closed a COVID-19 vaccination center after hundreds of noneligible individuals made appointments for shots. Out of 1,500 shots meant for people, 65 and older or essential workers, 900 were claimed by people who did not qualify. The majority of the appointments were made by people working in media and in Hollywood. The Pasadena Public Health Department previously tried improving its screening by calling every person on the appointment list who put a home address outside of the boundaries: many are restaurant and grocery store workers who commute to the city for work. This time, the city rescheduled the clinic rather than to verify eligibility for those 900 people who made an appointment. The cancellation was difficult news for senior citizens who struggled to get appointments for the vaccine. Registration in Pasadena has been typically done using CalVax; however, the website does not allow health departments to limit registration based on people who live or work in the city. This means people who are not eligible for the vaccine can still fill out the registration and secure an appointment.

California Hospital gives $159K to three nonprofits

D

ignity Health-California Hospital Medical Center recently granted $159,000 to three nonprofit organizations that are making a difference for the local, underserved communities by addressing homelessness, mental health and domestic abuse.

The first recipient, the Salvation Army California South Division, received the grant to support the Zahn Memorial Center & Lily’s Place for Homeless Families, which provides assistance in locating and securing permanent housing solutions. The second recipient, the Downtown Women’s Center, was awarded the grant for its Mental and Physical Health Support, which aims to help women with histories of homelessness in Los Angeles. The final recipient, Amanecer Community Counseling Services, will utilize their grant to provide healing for domestic abuse victims to create a healthier, more self-sufficient community.

“Through our annual Community Health Grant Program, we are better able to partner with organizations that help meet the critical needs of our community,” said Alina Moran, CHMC’s hospital president.

“This year’s decision for our community grant partners was harder than ever, as Dignity Health realizes how many meaningful organizations are struggling through the pandemic, especially in hard hit DTLA. We are grateful to be partnering with Salvation Army, Downtown Women’s Center, and Amanecer Services to support the work around homelessness, mental health, and domestic abuse.”

Since 1991, Dignity Health has awarded $80 million to 3,600 community-based health improvement projects through its Community Grants Program.

Saso: Consider the oysters

or chef Dominique “Dom” Crisp, a trip to Basque Country in October 2019 served as the catalyzing spark of inspiration for his first independent restaurant venture, Saso.

It opened Feb. 18 in the Playhouse Square Plaza space, most recently occupied by Trejo’s Tacos. Having been raised on a vineyard in Wren, Oregon, the rugged terrain of northern Spain’s Basque Country with its varying climates and abundance of fresh seafood and produce seemed familiar.

“When we got to Basque Country, it was, ‘Wow. This is so much like Oregon. This is like home. This is good. This is familiar,’” Crisp said.

“It was really cool, really inspiring. When we got up in the mountains, it really reminded me of home. It is just like Oregon. You have these very intense micro areas, people doing amazing stuff in their small communities: foragers, butchers and fishermen.”

In Oregon, Crisp and his family nurtured an interest in food, wine and the satisfactions of home.

“I’m from Oregon, born on a vineyard into a family of gourmands,” Crisp said.

“My mom was an amazing home cook and an educated nutritionist, and my father is a winemaker and a thespian.”

Crisp’s career as a chef was influenced by his parents.

“The finer things in life are not materialistic,” Crisp said. “They are things that we consume, and we enjoy with friends. That’s been my ethos since I was a kid.

“It’s something that’s been ingrained in me by my father, in that he makes the wine that he drinks and my mom, who always raised me on organic, wholesome ingredients and amazing rustic execution as well. That was my upbringing. But I got out and started developing, finding my own course. That started in France.”

After graduating high school, Crisp reconnected with his family’s roots during a trip to France with his best friend.

“I’m a quarter French. My mom is half French. My grandmother was a war bride from World War II,” Crisp said.

“My distant family had a bistro de pays in Southern France, the center of Provence, Le Bistro de Pierre Rue.” During high school, he worked at a pizzeria in Corvallis, Oregon, where he had quickly advanced, working all stations in the dining room and kitchen. At the family’s bistro in Provence, he and his friend worked through the summer and Crisp’s culinary interests continued to clarify.

“That’s where this huge French influence comes from and also this amazing need to look for quality ingredients and go to the market,” he said.

Returning to rural Oregon, Crisp thought about moving to a “big city.”

“I really had my eye set on Portland,” Crisp said. “It’s always been a beacon for the culinary and bar scene in the northwest. It’s always been a little better than Seattle.

Seattle is amazing for what it is, but Portland really exploded when I got up there. I got there when I was 21, in 2008.”

He cites two primary influences from his extended sojourn in Portland. The first was working for chef Davide Filippini of Trattoria Gallo Nero. Crisp called him an “amazing Tuscan chef from Italy.”

“It was like watching someone do ballet, because of how he handled customers and how he cooked,” Crisp said. “It was very inspiring to me. Seeing how he interacted as a chef with his customers was inspiring. That showed me chefs don’t just belong in the kitchen. They can be the face of a restaurant.”

The other important turn in Portland for Crisp was working at the buzzing alternative gastropub Dig A Pony. There, he found himself in an extended familial clan in the midst of a frenetic kitchen.

“I was alone in the kitchen a lot,” he explained. “During happy hour, tickets were pouring in. You learn how to execute good food at a high level, really quickly. That’s where I really cut my teeth in becoming a very good line cook, which is important for any chef. It also showed me how to be a part of a really great family team. I

worked at that place five or six years. It was important to me.”

In 2015, Crisp unwittingly discovered Los Angeles.

“I chased a girl down here, Alicia,” he said. “She’s my wife now. I’ve known her since high school. She had been my inspiration to strive for better things.”

Soon, he relocated, and the couple married. He is grateful for his new home.

“LA is the most interesting, multifaceted, cultural city that I’ve ever been in — and that’s after traveling through Europe,” Crisp said.

“I love this town. There’s nothing like it. The more people I meet and the more people I talk to, it just keeps getting better and better.”

Crisp considers himself to be an “oyster chef,” which largely reflects on experience gained since he arrived in Los Angeles.

First hired as the sous chef at L&E Oyster Bar in Silverlake, his tenure there marked another turn in Crisp’s experience.

“I got offered the job as the sous chef, under chef Spencer Bezaire and his wife Sabrina, amazing hard-working local people,” he recalled.

“He just gave me full creative reign and control and just let me run wild. We were going to the market twice a week. I was cooking food that I wanted to make.

He was really supportive of me. I learned so much about oysters and relationships with farmers.”

After four years there, Crisp was “poached” to become executive chef at Blue Plate Oysterette in Santa Monica, where he continued to expand on his contacts and logistical savvy in sourcing the freshest oysters and seafood.

“I was able to get oysters flown into LAX,” he said. “I pick them up after they’ve been harvested that morning out of the water and sell them that evening. That’s the logistical power of this location that we live in, which is fantastic. That’s what we carried into Saso.”

The name “Saso” is a play on the Basque word for ocean, itsaso. Fresh seafood forms the spine of the menu, which is inevitably informed by the day’s fresh catch.

“Saso’s about the inspiration of the Basque country and the Basque food, which is about sourcing,” Crisp said. “So, it’s finding the best ingredients. Finding the best local spot prawns and serving them while they’re still alive.”

Crisp relies on a network of small family purveyors to ensure his daily inventory: oysters, mussels and kelp from Alaska; shellfish from Washington; Dungeness crab from Oregon and sea bass and kumamoto oysters from Baja.

Glacier Point oysters from Alaska were recently featured ($18/$35) served raw or grilled. Fresh oysters are a given here, but the Crudo Bar also features crab claws from Santa Barbara ($7) served with mustard sauce, and also salmon carpaccio ($14) with cured olives, shallot, radish and capers. Not of the sea, but no less fresh is the Txuletta Tartarra ($16), a luscious Wagyu steak tartare, topped with trout roe and anchovy aioli.

In Basque style, the menu is fronted by a list of 10 pintxos, or small plate appetizers.

Delectable choices include Calimero ($8), poached shrimp, Spanish deviled eggs, capers, chive and smoked salmon aioli; Txangurro Tortas ($12) or dungeness crab cakes with navarra cheese, hot peppers and avocado crema; or Txirla ($13), described as “local clams from the Josper.” The Josper is a contained charcoal oven made in Barcelona that forms the centerpiece of Saso’s open kitchen area. Bring a gang and order the Esperientzia ($99), a heaping platter of all 10 pinxtos.

Custom cocktails, crafted by lead bartender Vito Morales, include the New Moon ($13), a martini riff of horseradish-infused vodka chilled by a black orb of squid ink ice. It’s a perfect companion to a plate of oysters. The Mission Shandy ($13) is a mix of gin and Basque cider with fresh fruit, most recently blood orange.

The rest of Crisp’s team at Saso includes his pastry chef Dolly Webster, with whom he bonded during the pandemic, prepping meals for the ER and ICU staff at PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital. The kitchen devolves on his two trusted sous chefs, Timothy Garcia and Chris Ostorga. The operation hums along with the ever-genial supervision of general manager Matt Krawczyk.

Outdoor distanced seating for 50 diners is splayed across the handsome courtyard of the Playhouse. Inside, an expansive and colorful mural by local artist Tim Biskup adorns the entire north wall of the dining room. Inside or out, Saso provides the ideal setting for a leisurely cocktail and a plate of fresh oysters.

“We take pride in using the best local ingredients,” Crisp said. “We serve my family’s wine. It’s handcrafted. It’s local. I think that’s been the most important.

Why Saso has been able to work, why it will work and why we’ll continue to be here. We wanted to give Pasadena and this space at the Playhouse, it’s best option.

We’re all just excited to be part of this community.”

Julio Toruno doesn’t like to talk while he’s sharpening knives. He prefers to concentrate.

Julio Toruno keeps a sharp eye on knives

“I got started with knife sharpening because of my background in cooking,” he explained. “I worked as a prep cook, and as a cook at a private school. I knew that a sharp knife was a necessity in getting the job done. Most of the methods I utilize come from the long Japanese tradition of knife-making and sharpening.”

He adds his father had a wood shop in Nicaragua where he made chairs, furniture and anything wood that the customer wanted. “I saw that my father had to have sharp knives and tools to get the job done,” Toruno recalled.

For the last five years, Toruno has been a peripatetic knife sharpener, driving to various locations where he sets up shop and does his trade. Until the pandemic hit, he was a regular fixture at the Altadena and Highland Park Farmers Market, and other venues.

At a recent local venue, two men were quietly watching Toruno do his thing. Toruno was quiet and focused with a large kitchen knife. When he stopped, he looked up and stated he was counting his strokes. His concentration was completely on each strokes of the knife on his wet stone. He evenly stroked the knife back and forth, and occasionally put water onto the stone.

After he wiped the knife clean, and set it to the side, Toruno said, “I made this system, where the sharpening stones are mounted in this vice, atop this large stainless steel rectangular pan filled with water. This makes a very neat system, especially for me on the go, so that the water that I continually add to the stone drips right into the pan.”

Toruno explained his sharpening procedure.

“First, I mount the coarsest wet stone onto my vice, which has a grit of 120 — the smaller the number, the coarser the grit of the stone,” he explained with a smile.

“I examine the knife to see how many strokes it needs, and to see if there are any particularly bad spots on the knife,” he explained. “OK, so I have five stages of sharpening. I first lay the knife onto the wet stone, matching the angle the cutting edge to the stone. I then give it about 70 even strokes. The number of strokes changes as I move from stone to stone and depending on the knife. The further along the process, I use less strokes, but on average it’s about 160 strokes total per side, from the coarse to the fine stone.”

Toruno looked carefully at the knife he’d just sharpened, and then, holding a single sheet of paper in his other hand, he slices through a piece of glossy paper like it was butter.

“Ah,” Toruno said, “that’s what I like to see.

“I apply pressure in the forward and backward motion, just like Japanese knife sharpeners do.”

He used to apply pressure in only one direction, but found that the Japanese way is more efficient. He doesn’t concern himself with the degree of angle of the knife, per se; he simply matches the knife to the stone and does his work.

“I look at the knife and I sharpen it based on how it was made,” Toruno said. “I simply lay the cutting edge onto my stone and sharpen it based on however it was manufactured in the first place.”

He pointed out that, in some circumstances, he might make some variation to this rule if the knife edge was damaged, or if a slightly different angle would improve the knife. “I have to evaluate each knife individually.”

He explained that during his 70 or so strokes per stone, he works the blade section by section, and he makes a point to be certain to sharpen the upper part of the knife, because that can sometimes be missed.

“That’s why I don’t talk when I work,” Toruno said.

“I don’t know about the other systems of knife sharpening that other people use.

I just know how to get a sharp knife, using my method. I’m old school, and perhaps I’m overly complicated by taking each knife through five stages of sharpening. Yes, sometimes you can get away with three stages, but perhaps I’m a perfectionist, so I usually prefer all five stages.”

In terms of stainless vs. carbon steel knife (a carbon steel knife is often thought of as “old fashioned,” whose metal can turn gray), Toruno said, “A carbon steel blade definitely holds and keeps its edge better than a stainless knife.” But he quickly adds that he’s mostly dealing with stainless steel knives, which dominate the culinary world.

ulio Toruno is intimately involved with knives every day. But he’s not a survivalist, a knife collector, nor a cutlery dealer. Toruno is a quiet man who’s found his peace through the art of knife sharpening.

He’s a peripatetic knife sharpener; “have stone, will sharpen,” seems to be his motto.

Where to buy supplies

In the Los Angeles area, Toruno buys his supplies at a Japanese restaurant supply company called Mutual Trading Company. You can purchase from it online or do as Toruno does and buy at its shop in Downtown LA’s Skid Row district. There is also sharpenerssupply.com in Wisconsin.

Whitney Bromberg Hawkings worked for fashion designer Tom Ford before starting FLOWERBX.

Online floral company finds success is blooming

hitney Bromberg Hawkings was working for fashion designer Tom Ford when she became frustrated with the cost and inconsistency of the flowers she was buying and sending.

After 19 years with Ford, she decided to start FLOWERBX, an online flower delivery services that sources the freshest flowers, direct from growers. She specializes in seasonally optimal flowers, like peonies in the spring, and in the fall hydrangea, followed by ranunculus in the winter.

“I wanted to create a branded floral offering,” Hawkings said. “As a working mom, I was buying everything online. I bought my weekly farm-fresh groceries online, my clothes online, my beauty online. Yet, I found it was impossible to buy flowers in a simple, chic and fuss-free way online.”

Now in its fourth year, FLOWERBX, as well as Hawkings, is based in London, but recently she opened an LA hub to service California, Arizona, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.

Her clients include British Fashion Council, Chanel, Conde Nast, Harrods, L’Occitane and Tiffany & Co. “My vision for FLOWERBX was always for it to be a global brand,” she said. “Interflora is inconsistent in all of the territories in which it operates, and the client is at the mercy of whichever florist is fulfilling the order.

“I wanted to create a consistent and beautiful floral experience in all of the territories in which we operate. While the entire United States has always been in the cards, we accelerated our expansion plans to encompass the East and West coasts over the past year as the desire to stay connected with flowers and live life with beauty has been stronger than ever.”

Hawkings said she learned her entrepreneurial skills from Ford, for whom she would have worked for another 20 years. She began her career in Paris working for him at Gucci and later became his communications director upon the launch of his eponymous label in 2005.

“Working with Tom was a dream come true,” she said. “The lessons I learned from him are countless, and I couldn’t have learned from a better teacher how to build a successful, recognizable and powerful brand, among the many other lessons I learned from him.

“He taught me the importance of hard work and perseverance but also about the art of creating desire, of telling a story around a product and setting a scene to make it irresistible. I have tried to apply all of these learnings to FLOWERBX in my goal of creating what I know will be the first global flower brand.”

TRAX

BY BLISS

By Bliss Bowen

T

he recent announcement that Disney’s 20th Television acquired rights to British author Chris Whitaker’s novel “We Begin at the End” was not surprising. Whitaker’s page-turning plot is one of the most twisted in memory, with all-too-human characters one can easily envision storming across the screen guided by “Hamilton” director Thomas Kail.

Like the best of mysteries, it saves its most gut-punching turns for an ending few will foresee.

Set in coastal California and Montana, the story is haunted by one crime and driven by the hunt for answers to a second, as other mysteries braid around them.

While key characters embrace their roles in the world, often beyond reason, they also bruise themselves trying to understand who the hell they are within those stubbornly maintained constructs. No one is precisely who or what they seem, to others or themselves — least of all Walk, the amiable Cape Haven police chief masking a debilitating secret, and his best friend, Vincent King, an enigmatic local legend about to be released after 30 years behind bars.

Walk’s testimony sent King to prison, and since then he has conscientiously tried to look out for King’s teenage love, Star, and the children she’s borne since King’s arrest: swaggering self-described “outlaw” Duchess and sweet 5-year-old son Robin. In their bleak world, mercy is rationed out like water in a desert, and 13-year-old Duchess interprets “love” and “help” as their opposites while vigilantly protecting her brother from their mother’s addictions and meaningless promises; she moves about their rented house “with practiced care, a girl used to the terrors of night, to a mother who courted the worst of men.” That includes Dickie Darke, the hulking owner of a shady club where “iniquity cost ten bucks and a small chunk of virtue.”

Whitaker is examining dual forms of addiction (chemical and emotional) and families — both those that greet us when we are born and those we create by our own free choice; tortured histories with the one inevitably trouble futures with the other.

It’s a fertile topic to which many readers will relate after a year roiled by a pandemic and politics, and the characters’ conflicted humanity often grabs the heart as tension escalates. Despite his heavy-handed symbolism with names, Whitaker’s poetical prose makes for spare yet sometimes painterly vistas and striking thumbnail sketches (Dee Lane was “maybe five-one, attractive in a hard way, like the past years had gunned down the person she had once been”). In one cathartic bar scene, Duchess literally sings to survive: “The murmurs fell silent, and the men at the table stopped lining their shots and instead moved toward the little girl that sliced heavens wide open, her soul bared and burned, the man beside her so transfixed he almost could not match her with his chords.”

Whitaker’s maddening syntax and disregard for traditional punctuation present hurdles for the reader, especially at the beginning. It’s a stylistic gamble that won’t pay off for everyone, but stay with it. The language floats on its own tidal rhythm, one that enhances the story’s quasi-mythic allure and seems intended to convey the casual shorthand that has evolved between characters. That suggestive nature layers the moral shades of gray obscuring divisions between black and white as his memorable characters debate “degrees of bad,” selfishness and selflessness, and the meaning of life when death feels like freedom.

VERONICA SWIFT, This Bitter Earth (Mack Avenue): HHH The tie that binds these Broadway and pop standards (Gershwin, Rogers & Hammerstein, Van Heusen & Cahn) is relationship — with mercurial lovers, self, society, and Swift’s tasteful combo, notably pianist Emmet Cohen.

The crystal-toned jazz stylist has mixed success diluting the sexism embedded in “How Lovely to Be a Woman” (from “Bye Bye Birdie”) and Carole King and Gerry Goffin’s “He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)” (the latter benefiting from acoustic guitarist Armand Hirsch’s melancholy accompaniment). An electric treatment of Amanda Palmer’s “Sing” and an inspired reading of the Clyde Otis-composed title track (balancing the stark drama of Dinah Washington’s 1960 recording with the comfort of Gladys Knight’s 2006 update) hopefully signal Swift’s future direction. veronicaswift.com DAVID OLNEY & ANANA KAYE, Whispers and Sighs (self-released): HHHH The Americana community was stunned when Olney died onstage in January 2020 — a sadly fitting end for a revered artist known for his intense performances. This posthumously released collaboration with Eastern Europeanborn songwriter/pianist Anana Kaye and guitarist Irakli Gabriel arrives like a grace note from the grave. Olney’s gravelly tones contrast movingly with his gentle delivery of ballads such as “Behind Your Smile” and “The World We Used to Know,” between tracks sung by Kaye (reminiscent of Jude Johnstone). Cello, violin and saxophone lend dark sweetness to standouts “My Favorite Goodbye,” the beautifully melodic “My Last Dream of You” and “The Great Manzini,” as Olney and Kaye contemplate time, creation, and life truly lived. ananakaye.com SON OF THE VELVET RAT, Solitary Company (Fluff & Gravy): HHH The ninth album from the Austrian duo — raw-voiced poet Georg Altziebler and organist wife Heike Binder — was recorded in their new home of Joshua Tree. One can’t help but wonder how much the desert informed their rustic evocations of space, spectral visions and cosmic questioning; there’s a sense of time suspended. Co-producer Gar Robertson’s shimmering guitar warms the seductive melody of “11 & 9,” while the provocative title track is a slow-burning swell of hurdy gurdy, strings and drums (“Green blanket on the queen-bed/ Blood stain on the frame/ Voices coming through the sink/ I thought I heard your name”). sonofthevelvetrat.com DOM LA NENA, Tempo (Six Degrees): HHH½ Brazilian cellist, singer and songwriter Dominique Pinto places her soft vocals front and center for this subtly ingratiating set. Twirling from to waltz (“Valsa”) to tango (“No Tengas Miedo”) and handsomely orchestrated pop (“Quien Podrá Saberlo,” with Julieta Vinegas, and the harmony-dotted “Vejo Passar”), its rhythmic and instrumental variety and light touch are refreshing to the ear and spirit. domlanena.com

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 (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 42057. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.
