MAYOR DEFENDS ABSENCE FROM CORONAVIRUS MEETING

03.26.20 | PASADENAWEEKLY.COM | GREATER PASADENA’S FREE NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

There has been recent critical commentary about my trip to Dakar, Senegal. It has been suggested that I should not have made the trip and that my absence somehow damaged the city’s ability to respond to the emerging COVID-19 crisis.

That is not correct.

THE NEW NORMAL 'UNCHARTED IT'S ABOUT 'TIME' TERRITORY' (PART 1) During my time away, I was constantly communicating by email and phone with city staff and others in Pasadena just as if I was in my office.

In fact, the March 17 special City Council meeting was scheduled by the city manager and me during this ongoing communication, as were the agenda and the list of items to be covered in his declaration. I was not able to participate in the meeting because I was getting the entire delegation home as quickly as possible. I felt that it was more important to continue with the special meeting rather than wait for me to return. It is the first City Council meeting that I have missed in my five-plus years as mayor.

My decision to make the trip with the delegation to our new sister city was made after careful consultation with city staff and the best available information from public health authorities. This trip was the culmination of a 20-year-long effort to forge a relationship with an African sister city and after complicated and detailed planning by the host committee. This was a self-funded trip, not paid for by the city, as has been the case for all the sister city trips.

Circumstances surrounding the virus emergency developed far more rapidly than any of us could have anticipated, but I consistently and thoroughly met my responsibilities as mayor. I continue to serve the city of Pasadena during the course of this emergency on a full time basis. While not required by the City Charter, I have committed all my time and

energy to the job and I will continue to do so.

During this critical time, we must focus on the welfare of our residents and the survival of our businesses.

These are not political issues; they are challenges that will affect our city for years to come.

Since we made the Safer at Home declaration, I have taped daily briefings to keep residents informed, communicated frequently with dedicated city staff and community leaders, supported local businesses and worked to coordinate health services and deal with food security challenges. Let’s work together to preserve our city and our people. ~TERRY TORNEK MAYOR OF PASADENA

IN HIS OWN WORDS

Text of Fire Chief Bertral Washington’s email announcing his retirement: Good Morning, PFD. After 25 years in the fire service and over five at PFD, I want you to know I will be retiring from the city next month.

I am very grateful to have served as your fire chief, on the shoulders of many great men and women ahead of us.

PFD is one of the best fire departments in the world and this will continue as you remain focused on continuous improvement and hold-

ing true to your core values.

Working together, we accomplished many great things for the benefit of our department and the community we serve. Recently, the passage of Measure I, giving Pasadena funding to renovate and rebuild multiple fire stations, and the Pasadena Outreach Response Team (PORT) are two of the achievements I deeply admire. Seeing those capital improvement projects through, as well as growing PORT, will have a huge impact on your well-being and will impact the state of Pasadena homelessness significantly.

I wish each and every one of you well in your career and at home. The people of Pasadena support you tremendously and they deserve only the best that any fire department can deliver.

In order to deliver the best service possible, you must support one another, encourage each other to be their best and hold one another accountable when anything less materializes.

Our career field is noble.

Your actions and decisions will reflect on the fire service near and far, so always strive to do the right thing.

As I mentioned to all I had the opportunity to hire or promote, I am invested in your success and I will always be available to help you in any way I can.

Please do not hesitate to contact me. ...

Best wishes to you and your loved ones.

Sincerely. ~BERTRAL WASHINGTON CHEIF, PASADENA FIRE DEPARTMENT (Please related story in NEWS)

BY ELLEN SNORTLAND

PANDEMIQUETTE WHAT PART OF PANDEMIC DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

N

o Glove, No Love!

People who lived through the worst of the HIV-AIDs epidemic know precisely what that means.

Now that we’re facing an actual pandemic that is far easier to spread, the phrase takes on new meaning as we go about our lives.

I wanted to wretch when I heard that one of my best friends, visiting his mother at a local hospital, got a full sneeze in his face — from a doctor! Yes, the physician spewed right in my friend’s face. The doctor didn’t even say “Excuse me,” and my friend and his wife certainly did not say, “Bless you!”

What?

They understandably froze. Manners, please!

On a recent grocery run, I stopped at a local store that stocks primarily Mexican products to see if they had any bread. It turned out they had fresh bolillos, right out of the oven. They smelled heavenly, hot and yeasty. I was clumsily using enormous tongs to retrieve the bolillos from the case, and an older man — or possibly younger than I am (OMG when did THAT happen?!) — rushes over and grabs a plastic bag for me, then grabs plastic gloves with his bare hands and thrusts them at me.

We are all newly sensitive to people touching anything. My uncensored self wanted to yell, “What the hell are you doing!?” Meanwhile, I am using tongs that might be crawling with COVID-19, which I only thought of after the bolillo incident, and here’s this super-polite grocery guy who is now double or even triple-exposing me to a possible killer virus?

REALLY? But did I say anything or leave? No, I did not. Here I am, Ms. Boundary Setter. I advocate and teach boundary setting, locally and globally. I was so stunned that I politely got the bolillos wrestled into the plastic bag, bought them, and proceeded back out to our car. I handed my husband Ken half of a bolillo, and we gobbled it up. I told him about the encounter with the man, and he said, “Oh, well.”

I risked my life because I didn’t want to hurt that nice man’s feelings. That means I need to practice saying things that are “impolite” politely when I’m not under stress and while it’s happening.

I succeeded in saying to a man at Costco, after witnessing his uncovered cough, THREE TIMES, “Sir, you need to cover your mouth!” I demonstrated by covering my face with the crook of my elbow. Good grief, people! Pandemiquette!

Citizens! Practice doesn’t make perfect, but it does make it accessible, whatever “it” is.

Go ahead and practice saying these things to another or in the mirror: Please, back up.

Please, use a hand sanitizer. Please, cover your mouth in the crook of your elbow.

We are all now part of a paradigm shift in manners. Pandemic Manners “Pandemiquette” rules are being forged as I write this.

We ordered take out from a restaurant we love. I waited in the car. Ken ran in to get our food. The owner was talking a blue streak and not keeping their distance. Ken would back up; they’d close the gap. He’d remind them of “six feet” and they’d stop… and then, it would start over again. Did Ken yell “Back off!” as he’d been trained in his IMPACT Personal Safety men’s class? No, he did not. Practicing for a possibly violent confrontation is one thing; being direct in the moment during a polite and civil situation is quite another.

Restaurant person blithely took Ken’s card bare-handed, then handed him a pen to sign the bill, which he picked up using a napkin hoping they’d get a clue. They did not.

They then person-handled the plastic bags, and he came out, paler than I’m used to seeing him.

This all gives me so much compassion for the people who are too nervous, scared or polite to ask their partners to use a condom.

Friends, we’re condomizing society right now, but it’s not just male goodies we’re asking people to sheathe, it’s everything. No protection? No affection, business, or anything.

Y’all, no glove, no love! n

DOWN BUT NOT OUT SOME SIGNS OF HOPE APPEAR IN DISTANT HORIZON AS COVID-19 CASES MOUNT

BY KEVIN UHRICH AND MATT RODRIGUEZ

P

araphrasing 17th-century historian and theologian Thomas Fuller, it’s always darkest before the dawn.

But one can only wonder — with deadly coronavirus killing tens of thousands of people in the United States, China, Italy, Iran, South Korea and other countries— how much darker can it get before the metaphorical sun of health and happiness rises again?

With most restaurants in Pasadena running on dwindling reserves, offering only takeout or pickup and no sit down dinners and some of those eateries and most stores, gyms, clubs and other businesses closed, a few glimmers of hope appeared on the immediate horizon over the past few weeks.

One came last week in the form of USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort, the US Navy’s massive hospital ships, respectively deployed to Los Angeles and New York, considered the national epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Doctors and other military medical personnel will treat non-infected patients in an effort to make room in currently overwhelmed civilian medical facilities for people being impacted by the highly infectious disease.

Another hopeful development also came last week with President Trump signing into law The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, a $2.2 trillion package of financial aid 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.02.20

programs and loans aimed at getting money into the hands of Americans who lost businesses and jobs during the coronavirus crisis terrorizing the planet.

On March 17, the Pasadena City Council allocated $150,000 to start a meals program for seniors, the disabled and other vulnerable citizens.

Brenda Harvey-Williams, the city’s director of Human Services, told Pasadena Now that the money was applied to food-delivery programs and was coordinated with meal distribution programs at seven school locations in the Pasadena Unified School District.

On March 23, the Pasadena Community Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund made its first emergency grants to organizations serving seniors and distributing food and supplies to low-income individuals and families, including: the Armenian Relief Society; Families in Transition; Foothill Unity; Friends in Deed; Meals on Wheels; the Pasadena Senior Center; the Salvation Army; the Senior Care Network; and Union Station, according to the organization’s website.

On the downside, however, city health officials said 15 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Pasadena over the weekend, bringing the total number of infected people to 25 as of Tuesday, March 31. Again, there was a morsel of good news, with no virus-related deaths being reported in

the Crown City, said city Health Officer Dr. Ying-Ying Goh. Countywide by that time there were 2,147 cases resulting in 27 deaths.

Statewide, there were 6,528 cases with 135 deaths. Nationwide, 177,308 cases were reported, with 3,538 deaths. And worldwide, there were 823,479 cases, with 40,636 deaths. The numbers increase exponentially each day, stretching hospital staffs in New York, Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans and Pasadena to their limits.

On Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, estimated the death rate in the US could reach 100,000 over the next several weeks.

In Pasadena, business is essentially at a standstill. Perhaps better put, trying to regain financial health by running in place, with restaurants able to do so by offering takeout and pickup orders, and delivery service to their customers. It was not immediately known what other businesses are making deliveries of their products.

At Monday’s City Council meeting, members met remotely, appearing in video screen squares from their homes, each able to hear and speak to one another and staff. City Manager Steve Mermell, City Attorney Michele Beal Bagneris and other city staff members were at City Hall, giving presentations and answering questions.

One of those staff members was Dr. Goh, who briefed the council on the ever-developing pandemic, stating the numbers of infected people here and around the world. She answered numerous questions that council members had for her mainly pertaining to the preparedness of Pasadena and local area hospitals, but focusing primarily on Huntington Hospital.

Goh said Huntington currently has 70 ventilators, with 28 currently in use. Mermell added that hospital officials have said that they could obtain 100 more ventilators, bringing their total to 170.

Goh also said that the hospital is currently treating 19 patients with COVID-19 while also waiting for 47 test results from suspected cases.

In the possible case of a surge of patients, Goh indicated that the hospital can add 134 more beds to its existing 630-bed capacity. The council also discussed using other offsite venues, such as the Pasadena Convention Center, as potential spaces for more capacity, if needed.

After Goh’s update on COVID-19, Mermell spoke of the economic strife many businesses in Pasadena are experiencing. He highlighted how major businesses such as hotels, restaurants and even the Rose Bowl are hemorrhaging money every day.

While many major cities such as Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco are looking forward to the relief provided by the $2.2 trillion stimulus legislation — the largest bailout package in American history — cities such as Pasadena may be left out, Mermell said.

“From a local government point of view, it’s really a mixed bag, or kind of light in the bag if you will,” said Mermell.

While there is a $150 billion stabilization fund for states and local governments, the direct funding will only go to local governments with a population of half a million or greater. The population of Pasadena is about 150,000.

“The city of Pasadena and most cities will not qualify for this,” said Mermell. “There is no requirement that the money be passed down from states to local agencies. This was something local governments were fighting for in the bill and didn’t get it.”

According to Mermell, each state will receive around $1.25 billion of federal funds and the money may be distributed down to local governments.

There are also billions that will be distributed to small businesses through loans, which according to Mermell may be forgiven in the future.

“Most restaurants remain open but on restricted hours and for takeout only,” Pasadena Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Paul Little, a former three-term City Council member, explained in an email about Mermell’s March 16 order to close all gyms and bars, and stop restaurants from allowing sit-down dinners due to the highly infectious nature of the virus.

“Closed for the duration” of the city manager’s order are Celestino Ristorante and Mi Piace, Little wrote. Closed permanently, he said, is Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant, located on Colorado Boulevard in the city’s once-bustling Playhouse District.

“Everyone I talk with in the restaurant business is being staggered.

Business is off from 40 percent to 80 percent and varies so much day-today it is impossible for them to plan,” said Little “Most are working with skeleton crews, usually the owner, manager, cook and that’s about it.”. n

EXPLAINING COVID-19 TO CHILDREN PROVIDING REASSURANCE, COMFORT AND AGE-APPROPRIATE INFORMATION IS KEY TO ALLEVIATING ANXIETY AMONG CHILDREN

W

ith COVID-19 dominating the news, and schools shut down as part of efforts to slow down the spreading of the disease, it’s understandable that many children feel overwhelmed and in need of self-assurance to help them cope with the added stress.

Parents have an important role to play to make sure their children’s mental health does not suffer during these trying times, according to Dr. Ashley Zucker, a child and adolescent psychiatrist with Kaiser Permanente Southern California.

“In these challenging times, it’s important that parents remain a source of comfort and calm for their children,” Dr. Zucker explained. “When talking to your children about COVID-19, you want to be open, but age-appropriate. It’s best to share only the information they are asking for, and not to go into excessive detail on components they may not even be aware of.”

According to Dr. Zucker, children often look to their parents and adults to see if they should be afraid or anxious. It’s important to be honest, she said, but also comforting. “Let your kids know that it’s normal to feel stressed or worried, but reassure them that health care workers and government health officials are working hard to keep everyone healthy and safe.”

And, while being out of school for an extended period of time can be quite the challenge for both adults and children, it’s important to maintain as much of a schedule and normal routine as possible, Dr. Zucker said. “Set aside some specific time to work on school-work, but also time to relax and play or exercise. Schoolwork is important, but it’s also important to be aware of when children are feeling overwhelmed and may need to take a break.”

Dr. Zucker encourages parents to be honest about the seriousness of the disease, and what their children can do to keep themselves safe. Parents can explain that the disease can spread between people who are in close contact with each other, through coughing or sneezing. Children should also know that most people who do get sick will have minor symptoms or recover in a week or two, she noted.

Dr. Zucker urged parents to limit extended media/news viewing among their children, as this can increase anxiety.

“Oftentimes, information in the news is not intended for young children and can make their fears much worse,” Dr. Zucker explained. “For all ages, hearing stories repeatedly regarding COVID-19 can increase anxiety and stress levels. Make sure to stay factual and be careful where you look for information. It’s always best to look for information at trusted resources such as the Centers for Disease Control (cdc.gov) or the World Health Organization (who.int). n Additional information is also available at kp.org.

SHELTER FROM THE STORM HUNTINGTON HOSPITAL PRESIDENT AND CEO LORI J. MORGAN ON DEALING WITH COVID-19 IN THE DAYS AHEAD 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.02.20

P

rior to taking over as president and CEO of Huntington Hospital two and a half years ago, Dr. Lori J. Morgan spent two decades working first as trauma medical director of Tacoma Trauma Trust in Washington, and then as president of Legacy Emmanuel Medical Center in Oregon.

She attended schools such as University of Washington, where she earned her medical degree, Stanford University, where she completed her residency and earned her masters degree in business administration Pacific Lutheran University.

During this stressful time for health care professionals everywhere, Morgan took time to answer questions posed by Pasadena Weekly about the measures she and her staff have initiated to provide the best patient care possible as COVID-19 strains hospitals and medical facilities around the world. — Matt Rodriguez

Pasadena Weekly: What are you learning from the responses in states such as New York and countries such as Italy and China? How will the hospital implement the lessons learned?

Dr. Lori J. Morgan: Communities around the world are experiencing an ongoing patient surge from COVID-19 that is creating immense strain on medical supplies and caregivers. Huntington is implementing multiple preventative measures now in the event that a similar situation happens in our community: We have set up surge tents in case we need to expand our capacity to screen patients who require hospital care; We have a surge plan that we will activate when needed to ensure all beds at the hospital are available to care for the patients most in need; We are working with the city of Pasadena to explore alternative care site options for our community should a patient surge occur and we need more beds than we have available; We have temporarily restricted visitors from our campus, as well as canceled all elective surgeries; We are actively asking for donations from our communities for certain unused and unopened medical supplies, as well as blood and financial donationsTime will tell which of these risk perceptions is correct. However, it may be overly positive to think that the chances will be zero. Psychologists have suggested that people have a tendency to underestimate their personal risks of experiencing negative events to help cope with an uncertain and scary world. This idea that “it can’t happen to me” is called unrealistic optimism and could explain the large number of people who think they face almost no risk getting the coronavirus.

We are watching closely what hospitals around the nation and world are doing to respond to this pandemic, and we are regularly reviewing and updating our protocols as necessary. Our caregivers are working around the clock to ensure our patients continue to receive the care they need, and the hospital continues to look for ways to care for our caregivers as well.

Are there plans to reach out to retired doctors and nurses for help?

As we have witnessed around the world, many caregivers are coming out of retirement to help fight this pandemic. Should the hospital require additional capacity, we will also consider that option. As the largest trauma center for our region, we have a pool of physicians that we could call upon to help immediately, and are working to expand that list to respond to COVID-19 as necessary.

With the current rush for food at grocery stores, if a surge of patients were to occur, would there be any way to help health care professionals secure food for them and their families?

We agree that the community should be prepared as we are unsure how long this pandemic will last. However, as various officials have stated, we have ample food available and do not need to worry about running out. The additional challenge for caregivers and hospital employees right now is a lack of time. We are working with our food services company to create a grocery store pop-up on our campus so that caregivers would have access to essentials like eggs, milk and other staples. This will be one less thing they have to worry about before going home to their families, pets and much deserved rest after their workday.

Could you describe the testing process? How long does it take? Do we have any testing centers in Pasadena?

The testing process has been an ongoing challenge at all levels, and we have been diligently working all possible channels to send our tests out. We are also hoping to have an in-house option soon. Due to the overwhelming volumes of tests, the labs running the tests have had significant delays in providing results.

Even so, Huntington Hospital continues to only order tests for patients with possible COVID-19 who require emergency care and are showing related symptoms — for example, patients experiencing a very high fever and shortness of breath.

Patients who do not exhibit COVID-19 symptoms or aren’t ill enough to seek care in an emergency setting should call their primary care provider. If a patient does not have a primary care provider, we strongly urge them to look for one.

Patients can also call urgent care if they are too sick to stay home but not sick

enough to require emergency or hospital care.

Our telehealth capabilities at our community-based physician group, Huntington Health Physicians, as well as with our affiliate urgent care, Exer, are coming online as I write this to provide additional access to appropriate care for our community.

Also, I saw the video of Mayor Terry Tornek asking for donations of masks at Huntington Hospital. Are we in short supply? If so, are there plans to ask the state or federal government for help?

At this time, the hospital has adequate supplies to treat those under its care.

However as more fall ill and require hospitalization, more resources will be needed. Like other hospitals around the world, Huntington Hospital has faced an ongoing strain on critical hospital supplies due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While we continue to work with local health and other government authorities to address these issues, we are also asking our communities for donations during this unprecedented time. These generous donations help support our health care providers’ access to essential medical resources. We are enormously grateful to our community.

With Gov. Gavin Newsom estimating over 25 million Californians will be infected with COVID-19, what concerns do you have for your hospital?

We want to be able to provide high quality care to all of those who need our services. We are working with the city of Pasadena to explore alternative care site options for our community should a patient surge occur, and we need more beds than we have available. The state has asked us to be able to increase our capacity by 40 percent and we have a surge plan that we will activate when needed to ensure all beds at the hospital are available to care for the patients most in need. We are also collaborating with local public health departments as well as other hospitals via the Hospital Association of Southern California and the California Hospital Association.

If the disease were to disappear in the summer, is there a chance the disease will make a resurgence similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu? Like any viral or communicative disease, it is possible that COVID-19 could resurface. However, we are still learning about COVID-19 and how long this current spread will last. It is important now to practice social distancing to flatten the curve, and to take as many precautions as possible.

Many Americans still do not believe in the severity of this disease. Is there a way you can explain the severity of COVID-19? Perhaps maybe a metaphor?

This virus is yet to be fully defined, so everyone should take great precaution.

For example, we know the pattern of the flu — how it impacts various groups of society. COVID-19 is proving to be much more serious than the flu for about 15 percent of the people who fall ill, this is NOT limited to those who are over 65, though older age groups do seem to be more vulnerable. The COVID-19 infection can begin with typical flu-like symptoms, such as a fever or cough, but can rapidly evolve into shortness of breath, with persistent pain in the chest, confusion and bluish lips or face. It can also be relatively asymptomatic. We do not yet understand why it effects people so differently, nor are we able to entirely predict who will be severely infected and who will not.

Because this is a communicative disease that is transmitted to other human beings through droplets, if a sick person or unknown carrier touches a doorknob or coughs, a healthy person could potentially contract the virus after touching the same doorknob or by being in the vicinity of the person who coughed. Given its severity in some cases, great precaution is the best possible defense. Additionally, we do not have a medicine that can cure COVID-19, so if you were to exhibit these emergency symptoms, the hospital could only provide supportive measures and life-saving intervention.

This is why it is so important to practice social distancing or self-isolation to flatten the curve. Doing this is the best way to help hospitals through this time and lessen the anticipated patient surge. With that, alongside the generosity of our community, we will get us through this together. n 04.02.20 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

First, you should know that LQ Foodings has been a successful underground operation for many years. Producing ostensible “pop-ups” — really before the concept existed — at Queniuox’s former home in Highland Park since 2013. Having moved to Corona last year, LQ Foodings has been serving multicourse dinners at Deluxe 1717 twice a month, since November.

This past Saturday he had intended to hold an elaborate sixcourse dinner, (plus appetizer and dessert) with an optional wine pairing for $85 in Corona.

With the sudden, unexpected closure of restaurants and bars, he pivoted quickly to a much humbler take-out model. Offering three menu options: Braised short ribs with olives and basil; North Atlantic cod with capers in a lemon emulsion; and a half roast chicken with herbs and jus. The meals are prepared for reheating and priced last week at $12 each. In an arrangement with Mission Wines, paired bottles are also available for purchase. A late addition to the offerings are curated cheese plates with three cheeses for $12 and 5 for $19. Orders are taken through the LQ Foodings website and then picked up at Deluxe 1717 on Saturday afternoon. (Not on “The List”, I surmised this info from the newsletter forwarded to me by Onil.)

Originally, I became aware of Quenioux during his turn at Bistro K, his brilliantly eccentric tiny restaurant that shared the corner of the Fremont Theatre Center in South Pasadena, in the early 2000s. (Now Fiore Market Café.) When he closed the restaurant, going on to found the popular Bistro LQ in 2009, I somehow lost track of him and his cooking entirely.

(Now on deadline, I place a call to Quenioux and am received by a voicemail that strongly suggests Onil has given me an incorrect number.) I realize it’s Saturday and that LQ Foodings is in the process of distributing its first attempt at Take-out that afternoon at Deluxe 1717.

I manage to shrug off my filthy bathrobe, wipe the banana bread crumbs from my burgeoning whiskers, hop into my ancient Beetle and speed the five minutes down Washington Blvd. to Deluxe 1717, not sure what to expect.

I’m greeted cheerily by Cat Sengchourichanh, Chef Laurent’s long-time sous chef, general manager, and soothsayer. After explaining my purpose, I’m told that Chef Laurent just snuck out the back door with some personal deliveries. Cat nonetheless provides me with the elusive chef’s correct phone number (off by a digit) as the next few customers arrive for pickup.

I speak to John Adams of Pasadena about how he came here. “I’ve been going to his private dinners for quite a while. I’m a fan boy!” Asked what he’s picking up, “All three entrees plus cheese. He’s famous for the cheese…” [He also gives me some hot tips on grocery sales at The Parkway Grill and Facebook cooking classes at Plate 38… more to come.] Quenioux’s local fan base extends across the city. Martha Orellano arrives wearing heavy rubber work gloves. “We’re on their mailing list. Their food is superb. What a great opportunity to help them and have a great meal. And I live in West Hollywood!”

We discuss the viral outbreak clusters in WeHo and the Melrose strip as Dinh Ha from South Pasadena strides up. With multiple bags thrown into her car, she quickly ducks into

the locally fabled Garni Meat Market, right next door, to pick up yet more food. Intrigued, I stalk her from a safe six-foot distance. “I’m dropping off half of the dinners for my mom and aunt in San Marino. The other half is for neighbors. I’ve eaten his food since Bistro K. … It’s awesome!”

Clearly, these enthusiasts have not hesitated to chance infection for this food. In the brief lull, I ask Chef Cat how the experiment is playing out? “I think it went well. If we can continue it, we will…” She mentions an uptick in price-gouging by some wholesale suppliers and other daily uncertainties that inform their decision-making. That said, LQ Foodings is strategically positioned to survive and possibly even to thrive now.

“I’m doing what I have always done: being adventurous…” At last, Chef Laurent Quenioux is on the line! “In a way I’m very lucky. We don’t have rent, insurance, or payroll… none of that crazy stuff. I’ve owned four restaurants. I’ve been there. I can talk about it. I’ve done that, darling!” He explains that he began serving elaborately coursed private dinners in 2011, after closing Bistro LQ in West Hollywood. Initially partnered with the now legendary Starry Kitchen, they began an underground bootleg operation downtown. “It was a huge success… (but) I was in Highland Park at the time. (I said) I’m tired of restaurants… what if we treat the house as a restaurant? It took about a year for people to get used to the idea: come to a chef’s house for gastronomy.”

Food & Wine paid attention and soon every weekend was booked out in advance for the next five years. However, last year, “the unimaginable happened.” The house — a rental — was sold in the Highland Park gentrification frenzy. “So we had to move… We moved to Corona (and) I am so happy! Beautiful home, lots of space! It’s just living the dream. It reminds me of France!” He began toggling weekend dinners between Deluxe 1717 in Pasadena and the new home in Corona in November.

In assessing the current uncertainty of the restaurant business at large, we both agree that the high-end, fine dining, tasting menu format is very likely doomed.

“Last summer, a lot of restaurants were already running out of air…” citing the saturation of venues in Los Angeles competing on razor-thin profit margins.

He sees real potential in the culinary scene of the Inland Empire and Orange County.

(Having covered OC dining for the last three years myself, I have to concur…) “Most of the young chefs working now, 80 percent are Latinx, not French, all from the Inland Empire. They are coming back to their roots.

“As a chef, I don’t live in the past. I live in the present and future.” With the present bleak and the future uncertain, if anyone might be able to see a way out of all this, it’s very likely to be Chef Laurent Quenioux.

IT’S OKAY TO LAUGH HUMOR, WHICH CAN REDUCE STRESS AND HEIGHTEN MOOD, IS NOT ALWAYS POSITIVE

MEETING NEEDS DIFFERENTLY Pasadena Senior Center changes event schedules to fit the demands of the coronavirus crisis

With the fitness center closed by emergency order and most classes and other activities canceled due to social distancing restrictions, staff at the Pasadena Senior Center have developed creative alternatives for members and nonmembers during the coronavirus crisis.

Dear Patti, My cousin Lisa and I are both 16 and we grew up together. For a long time we were very close but recently got in a terrible argument. I was explaining to her that I had just read an interesting article about humor and how it can have positive effects on one’s physical and mental health. Lisa has been sick for quite a while and after I told her about the essay, I had planned to ask her to go to a comedy club with me. Out of the blue, she blew up at me. She proceeded to tell me that I was a know-it-all, that I don’t know what I’m talking about, and that while laughter can be positive, it can also be very negative. How can laughter be negative? I’m just trying to be helpful.

— Dana Dear Dana, Yes, you have a valid point. Research on humor does show that it often has a positive impact on one’s health. There are studies that show that humor helps in the areas of pain relief and immune function and that it can improve one’s emotional mood and therefore reduce stress. It also has been shown that genuine laughter increases adrenaline and dopamine levels which improve mental function, interpersonal responsiveness, alertness, and memory.

Sigmund Freud did research on the nature of humor and laughter, how it integrates into one’s personality, and how it is related to the unconscious. He wrote about humor in his book “The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious,” which was published in 1905. Freud observed that jokes help people to cope with their anxiety, fear, anger and other disturbing emotions. He believed that jokes were the release of suppressed emotional energy. This idea is now known as the relief theory. Freud viewed humor as liberating and theorized that it could be an expression of our unconscious drives.

Although humor often contributes to healthy psychological functioning, your cousin makes a good point as well. All humor is not always positive. Humor can be used as a destructive psychological defense. Humor that is sarcastic, avoidant, humiliating, embarrassing, belittling, or hostile can be unhelpful and damaging. According to Freud, humor can also be used as a way of channeling aggression. He described hostile jokes that were actually veiled attacks. These allowed one person to offend another, while still maintaining respectability and the facade of goodness. In actuality, these aggressive jokers regularly avoid criticism by saying it was “just a joke.”

While I hope this information about humor is useful, the subject of the argument between you and your cousin may be less important than the true feelings of conflict going on between you. What made your cousin so angry in the first place? Disagreements can flare up in any close relationship, but is this an ongoing problem between you two? Have you always been jealous and in competition with each other? Does Lisa feel you show her up by consistently explaining and teaching her various subjects? Or maybe she feels so sick and in pain that it’s irritating to be told to laugh and joke? Anger is a resentment at being hurt. Now that you both are probably less angry than you were during the argument, it might be helpful to gently and lovingly ask your cousin what made her so angry.

How about you? Focus and reflect on your own thoughts and feelings. Were you hurt and angry because you felt attacked when you were just worried about Lisa and all you wanted to do was help? Is this a consistent problem between you and Lisa where you misunderstand with one another? You mentioned that you and Lisa used to be close.

What happened since then that has pulled you apart?

Don’t continue the argument about humor. Instead, go back and solve the deeper issues. Seek insight about your part in the difficulty. Listen to learn rather than to correct and debate. Listen carefully to what Lisa has to say and together explore the deeper issues. Try to repair and heal the deep painful feelings that get in between the two of you.

The challenge is to solve the problem and learn from the experience. n Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena.

CUT! PASADENA CINEMAS FACE TOUGH TIMES AHEAD STORY BY MATHEW FORESTA PHOTO BY LUIS CHAVEZ

D

rive along Colorado Boulevard and within the space of a mile you’ll pass Laemmle Playhouse 7, Arclight, and Regency 6 — all part of small, independent theater chains that show blockbusters, second-run films, and the arthouse fair that cinephiles love.

Now, the COVID-19 Pandemic has caused these institutions to fall on hard times.

On March 17, local theaters joined the large, national chain AMC in shutting down to comply with federal, state, county and local directives aimed at combating coronavirus. This followed an earlier order by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to shut down theaters and other public venues.

Greg Laemmle, president of the eponymous theater in Pasadena, along with several others throughout the Los Angeles area, supports the theater closures as a necessary measure to protect public health. Still, these efforts to flatten the curve have hit his chain, which has been in the family since World War II, pretty hard.

Laemmle says he’s furloughed up to 200 employees, including more than 20 at the Pasadena location. Despite this, the theater is “hemorrhaging” money, he said, with Laemmle telling KCRW 89.9-FM that they are losing between $20,000 and $30,000 a week.

It’s particularly painful in Pasadena, he said.

“Pasadena’s our most successful location,” he said in an interview last week .

“We love being there. It represents so many things for us.”

The pandemic comes at a time when theaters are already facing stiff competition from streaming services, although Laemmle said attendance is relatively stable and believes cinemas can operate side by side with them. For the time being, the chain is moving forward with plans for new theaters in Santa Clarita and Azusa, with Laemmle saying it may be even more costly to stop at this point.

However, if aggressive social distancing measures continue, Laemmle fears the loss of the summer movie-going season could doom the chain, absent some sort of relief program. This means Memorial Day, the film season’s traditional starting date, could represent the edge of the cliff. Even before that, the furloughs could soon become permanent as he claims legal and financial obligations would neces-

sitate such a measure.

“I will be joining my employees in an unpaid situation shortly,” Laemmle said.

Rank and file theater workers have had a tough go of it.

In addition to doing some seasonal work as a receptionist, 21-year-old Alana Gutierrez works part-time at the Regency Academy 6, which features second-run films and cheap ticket prices. Having worked there for three years, she is feeling the financial pain of the furlough.

“I’m not sure what we’re doing about rent, but I do pitch in for rent. My mom is also out of work, so I know that I’ll be pitching in from what I’ve managed to save,” she said. “I’m saving what I can and just really just not spending any money so that when I do need it, if I need it later for necessities, I have it.”

Some efforts to help theater workers are afoot. In New York a GoFundMe campaign has raised money to aid cinema employees impacted by the pandemic. Laemmle has previously encouraged patrons wishing to help the chain to buy gift cards.

In the meantime, Laemmle theaters is trying out new ways to bring in cash. They have partnered with Kino Marquee to offer streaming movies on the chain’s website.

“Any revenue is good revenue,” Laemmle said while acknowledging the program just started, thus making it hard to assess its success.

While careful to say that the economic consequences of such a move must be considered, Laemmle says a freeze on rents and mortgages would help. He cautions that the benefits of a theater bailout could end up only going to the big players like AMC and Regal. He is in favor of oversight to make sure that small chains like his would receive proper aid as well.

Gutierrez said within another month she could be in real financial trouble. If the theaters were to go out of business it would be a major hit for her, and no doubt hundreds of others like her all over the area.

“I would lose stable work,” she said. “If the theater was shut down from this I wouldn’t have a job. I’d have to look for a new job in a market where there probably aren’t going to be very many, I wouldn’t think. I’ve been at that job for three years.

Its been the most stable employment I’ve had up to date.” n 04.02.20 | PASADENA WEEKLY 13

CHILDISH GAMBINO, 3.15.20 (mcDJ/RCA): HHH½

Actor/musician/writer Donald Glover’s latest album as his chameleonic alter ego may not be as zeitgeist-electrifying as his 2018 single “This is America,” but it’s also of its moment, arriving like a quarantine hallucination with provocative lyrical fragments and computerized sounds approximating their own form of social distancing.

Crafted with longtime collaborator Ludwig Goransson and Inglewood DJ Dahi, tracks like “Time,” featuring Ariana Grande, and previously released single “Feels Like Summer” (here titled “42:26”) deliver bursts of anxiety-defying hope, while the magnetic chill of “Algorhythm” and Prince-like “19:10” (“To be happy really means that someone else ain’t/ And balance ain’t a onefood plate/ Everything is give and take”) serve as looking-glasses into Glover’s funky, conscientious wonderland. rcarecords.com/artist/childishgambino

Songs of Comfort LOCAL MUSICIANS STRIKE PEACEFUL NOTES IN A SEASON OF UNCERTAINTY

S

outhland artists, pummeled first by the negative impacts of AB-5 restrictions and then the gig-decimating punch of pandemic quarantines, are responding to crisis by adapting to it with their most resilient resource, creativity. For reasons of finance and fellowship, they’re sharing home videos of new beats, stories and songs, fielding requests for originals as well as beloved favorites by others that listeners want or need to hear. Music lovers, meanwhile, are creating and sharing playlists to help each other maintain perspective in this anxious time.

For now, at least, the tragedy of a rampant virus has boosted the business prospects of streaming platforms, and made it possible for independent artists to maintain some sort of connection with their fans and livelihood. Pi Jacobs, Ted Russell Kamp, Chris Pierce and Rick Shea are just some of the area artists who’ve recently welcomed Facebook Live viewers into their living room theaters.

Aubrey Logan, Sara Niemietz and Tia Simone will be part of Postmodern Jukebox’s “Shelter in Swing” festival happening April 2-3 on StageIt. Jennah Bell is offering writing prompts on her Instagram feed.

Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino is livestreaming a phone-in radio show on the band’s YouTube channel.

Does this represent an alternate future for live music? No one knows which way this surreal new world is spinning. Locally, so many musicians are giving online concerts that efforts are being made to coordinate to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Working at home, I’m accustomed to the afternoon sounds of children hollering on nearby

school playgrounds, but as I walked down my street the other day only birdsongs broke the air until I rounded the corner, when I was greeted by the lustrous tones of a cello. A cellist was giving a concert from his porch.

Bees circled lavender and creamy rose blossoms poking through his weathered picket fence as he played a sequence of Bach compositions, capped by a meditative Haydn piece that had been arranged by the late, great Gregor Piatigorsky. About two dozen people, some walking their dogs, fanned out along the sidewalk and across the adjacent intersection, several with cellphone cameras in hand, all drawn like moths to a musical flame. We listened quietly as the music cast its tranquil spell.

He’s not the only area artist performing in his yard for the pleasure of passersby. And students are pulling out instruments to practice songs that feel good. Neighbors are emerging at night to applaud in honor of health care workers here and everywhere; some sing. As noted by Yo-Yo Ma in a recent PBS interview, music travels, regardless of borders. Ma’s #SongsOfComfort series of videos has inspired response videos from artists around the world, affirming the bonds of music and community.

Local artists are making their own, independent affirmations. That afternoon interlude was nothing like the shoulder-to-shoulder crush of hearing a band rock the local pub, yet in its way it was just as intimate. Standing six to 10 feet apart we were connected by the experience — a peaceful grace note in a season of uneasy afternoons. n

The Nashville tunesmith, who’s made bank composing hits for Lee Brice (“I Drive Your Truck”) and Miley Cyrus (“The Climb”), among others, wraps her husky alto around eight insightfully detailed songs evoking the comforts and challenges of home. The barroom-rocking “Mama Drank” (co-written with hubby Jon Randall) and the Merle Haggard-namechecking “Country Music Made Me Do It” (featuring Randy Houser) kick up the pace, but the handsome production and Alexander’s sultry delivery cast even the povertyrecalling title track and rueful “I Should Probably Go Now” in nostalgic warmth. jessialexandermusic. com

MARGARET GLASPY, Devotion (ATO): HHH½

Fans of Glaspy’s glistening harmonies with the Fundies or Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project may find this melodic, intelligently written set easier to love than the confrontational rock of 2016’s “Emotions and Math.” Structured around piano and synths (save for the voice-and-guitar hush of “You Amaze Me”), it nods to current events with the climate-minded “Killing What Keeps Us Alive” and rumbling “What’s the Point” but mostly ponders relationship mysteries. Highlights: the jazzy “Heartbreak,” title track (“More and more I wonder what I’m trying for/ When you find my heart hard to believe”). Margaretglaspy.com

SWAMP DOGG, Sorry You Couldn’t Make It (Joyful Noise): HHH Jerry “Swamp Dogg” Williams’ voice cracks and organs and horns sigh throughout this countrysoul ear-pleaser, which balances heartfelt plaints (“Sleeping Without You is a Dragg,” a slow soul sway through the Johnny Paycheck hit “Don’t Take Her She’s All I Got,” cemetery-set tearjerker “Billy”) with acknowledgements of mortality (“Please Let Me Go Round Again,” one of two good-natured duets with John Prine). “Communication, that’s all it is,” he offers during “A Good Song.” “It can bring people together that’s been apart for years.” After 2018’s experimental “Love, Loss and Auto-Tune,” this feels like a satisfied return home. theswampdogg.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 (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 191212414.
