SENIOR PROTECTION MYTH

GLAD I’M NOT YOUNG

I would like to take this opportunity to point out to everyone who believes the police can protect us that they are having grand delusions. There truly is no real police protection. Let me explain.

What happens when someone gets robbed, mugged, raped or murdered? Are the police there to stop the criminals from hurting the victims? Hell no!

They come along after you are lying there bleeding, or in the hospital, or in the morgue, and then they write their reports and question witnesses, if any live ones can be found. I repeat myself for emphasis: The police will not be there while you are getting robbed, mugged, raped or killed. They will not show up until you are maimed, robbed, raped or dead and the perps are long gone.

The foregoing is especially true for senior citizens. Any criminal over the age of 12 can easily overwhelm most seniors over the age of 70. The elderly have no defense, and the police will not be there when they are attacked, or killed or robbed.

Conclusion: People must protect themselves by any means necessary, using guns, clubs or pepper spray. This is especially true for seniors over 70. Since most criminals carry weapons, and we the law abiding victims are not allowed to do so, we must improvise, using clubs, canes, baseball bats or pepper spray. I strongly advise every senior citizen, especially those over 70 (like me) to buy pepper spray (two or three small canisters) and get trained on how to use it. Carry it with you everywhere you go and keep it handy so you can reach and activate it fast. ~ JOHN JAY

My experiences in school were bad. I was bullied, beaten up, stalked, assaulted and harassed from my fi rst day of preschool to my last day of high school. The effects of that will be with me to my last dying breath. I’m glad I’m not young anymore.

As bad as it was for me, though, I did walk away from it. I got out of there alive. With the phenomenon of school shootings, there are far too many young people who are not so fortunate.

Who, then, is to blame?

Well, we have a list of usual suspects: a.) Administrators and teachers who are oblivious to what is really going on with the students in their schools. b.) Ditto with parents who are so wrapped up in their own lives, that they either can’t or won’t take the time to truly parent. c.) Gun shops, gun shows, or private individuals who sell, lend or have their guns stolen by those who should never be allowed anywhere near a fi rearm.

These are the most obvi-

VIA EMAIL

ous and easy parties to blame, and I believe that they have their fair share of responsibility. However, there is another component to this that is being virtually ignored, or at the very least rarely spoken of: The lack of compassion in our society for others who are in pain, or are perceived as “different,” “weak,” “helpless,” or “losers.” The notorious assertions by many in the progun lobby that the shootings that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary were a “hoax” or “fake news” are nauseating and indicative of this inability to have regard for the suffering of others.

What then must we do?

Is there any way to stop this from happening again? It will take more than changing gun laws or “sending hopes and prayers” to those who have been affected by such a tragedy. What is required is a fundamental shift in our society as a whole, one in which there is a willingness to stop looking for those to demonize, to be more willing to embrace “the other” rather than to exclude, judge and castigate them. And it will take fi nding a way to assert our own sense of self-worth without having to resort to tearing other people down.

Is such change even possible? I don’t know, but I can say with certainty that these horrors will continue as long as the status quo of human society remains in place. ~ A.F. KAPLAN VIA EMAIL

A QUIET CRISIS

A

RESOURCES DWINDLE AS NEEDS OF PASADENA’S SENIOR POPULATION KEEP GROWING

historic shift is taking place in our country, and Pasadena has landed in the middle of it. Our community, like so many others, is facing dramatic growth in its older population as members of the baby-boom generation turn 65 in unprecedented numbers.

This year, our retiree population will grow faster than the population of young people. And next year will see the same, and the year after that.

In fact, the historic makeup of Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley ensures we will see a demographic shift that is more dramatic than in many urban areas.

And we are not ready.

At present, our growing cadre of older adults encounters a stark reality about growing old in our communities. Instead of the so-called golden years, retirees often find they have entered a period of disconnection from the world around them, social isolation and a loss of purpose.

“We have a huge issue and problem with seniors aging, not living as we should,” Marianne Kilkenny, founder of Women for Living in Community, recently told the Washington Post. “We’re wanting the social cohesion, and know that we need to be connected, but the path isn’t there.”

Here in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley, we have done little in the face of this quiet crisis. Most cities do operate a small group of senior centers, but many of these places are sadly understaffed and without the resources to offer much more than occasional bingo and television.

For 10 years, I have served as executive director of the Pasadena Senior Center, a nonprofit organization that receives no operating funds from the city, county, state, or federal governments. We have tried to become the exception to the rule by offering our members a wide variety of engaging activities, from sports programs to lectures and dance classes.

But our center already is strained to the limit. To deal with the wave of older adults coming through our doors, we have been forced to use our diminishing resources even more effectively to continue our programs. With the current need for our services growing, there is no way we will be able to serve the bigger wave that is coming.

What do seniors need? We have found, more than anything, they need a place of community; somewhere they can explore life anew and exercise their often surprising talents and abilities. This requires a wide variety of programs and activities, such as our Sy Graff Fitness Center, computer lab and lifelong learning programs that allows them to choose a niche in which they are comfortable.

But just as the baby-boom children of post-World War II America required a reallocation of resources to provide the essentials for their lives, so too will older adults need help unless we are willing to consign them to an empty life.

This need not be catastrophically expensive. In fact, compared to the costs of raising the baby boom children a generation ago, many senior programs can be carried out at relatively modest cost.

To appreciate this bargain, consider that older adults who have access to a vibrant community center where they stay involved in life, are healthier and far less likely to succumb to dementia or cognitive and physical decline, all of which are highly expensive to treat.

From somewhere, though, our communities need to find the commitment to meet this growing challenge. I am writing this appeal in the hope that we can do just that.

Given the present state of finances with many local governments, I believe success will require some form of public-private partnership.

At the Pasadena Senior Center, for example, the city of Pasadena does not provide program support but does provide a splendid downtown facility free of charge. There are many other such possibilities that could be explored.

This year, as we have in the past, the Pasadena Senior Center will make a call to each of our homebound seniors each day, Monday through Friday. The purpose of the calls is simply to check on their welfare. Are they feeling well? Do they need help with meals?

This program, which we call Telephone Reassurance, is one of my favorites at the center. Our callers develop fond relationships with the homebound seniors, who know we are there to help them if necessary. In the past it has saved lives.

But if the current financial trend continues, one day the Telephone Reassurance program could disappear. That would be tragic. So it is my fervent hope that we will make the commitment to the seniors of our community, and make sure that day never comes. ■

Akila Gibbs is executive director of the Pasadena Senior Center.

LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS SEEK MORE WAYS TO PROTECT SENIORS FROM FRAUDS AND SCAMS

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

L

ate last year, the Pasadena Police Department warned residents of phone scammers posing as officers who were disguising their phones to appear on caller ID as legitimate department numbers.

According to authorities, residents were told that either they owed money to the Internal Revenue Service, or they were being investigated for fraud by the department. The callers then demanded their driver’s license, credit card and Social Security numbers. Although many younger residents probably would not have given out that type of personal information over the phone, more and more senior citizens are falling prey to this type of con, said Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson.

“Our aging community is at risk by people who try and take advantage of circumstances bound by financial gain,” said Clawson. “Sadly, at times this includes being victimized by other family members. Aging seniors should look into secure financial trusts and or wills and look into what protection plans their banks or credit card companies offer to keep assets secure.”

According to Clawson, other types of fraud can occur when seniors are duped into signing over bank accounts, providing a small amount of money for a large return on investment that will never occur, or other scams aimed at getting at their assets.

“If the deal seems too good to be true, do not take advantage of it, as the end result could be catastrophic to those living on CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

The US Supreme Court may be asked to decide whether a jury should have been allowed to know former LA County Sheriff Lee Baca was suffering with Alzheimer’s disease at the time the department was being investigated by federal agents.

On Friday, the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld Baca’s conviction on charges of obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI. Baca faces three years in prison unless the Supreme Court agrees to hear his case.

Baca’s attorney Benjamin Coleman unsuccessfully argued during the appeal that the jury should have been informed of Baca’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Coleman said he wanted to argue that the disease could have had an impact on Baca when he was dealing with investigators and prosecutors in 2013.

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks, according to the National Institute on Aging.

US District Judge Percy Anderson ruled that the testimony would be speculative and confuse the jury, and the appeals court agreed.

Baca, 76, confessed that during an FBI investigation into abuse committed by deputies in the county’s jail system he ordered deputies to visit an FBI agent at her home and do “everything but arrest her.” The deputies attempted to convince the agent she would be arrested if she did not back off.

When questioned, Baca denied sending his deputies to the agent’s home. He later admitted to it as part of an unsuccessful plea deal that would have allowed him to do no more than six months behind bars in exchange for a guilty plea on one count of lying to the FBI. Anderson said the plea deal would not restore the public trust.

In addition to lying, Baca also admitted that he ordered his Undersheriff Paul Tanaka to carry out a plan to hide an inmate acting as an informant for the FBI. Anthony Brown was allegedly rebooked under a number of different names and transferred to several locations in order to keep him from testifying before a federal grand jury.

Baca retired in January 2014 following the indictment of 18 deputies by a federal grand jury.

ARREST IN ARCADIA MURDER

LOCAL MAN HELD WITHOUT BAIL IN SLAYING OF 76-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Chyong Jen Tsai

Police arrested a man at his home in Pasadena last Friday on suspicion of brutally murdering a 76-year-old grandmother in her home in Arcadia.

Heber Enoc Diaz, 27, of Pasadena was booked for murder at the Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles on April 19, according to Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials. He is being held without bail.

Authorities claim Diaz beat, stabbed and strangled Chyong Jen Tsai. Tsai’s body was discovered in the backyard of her residence in the 300 block of East Forest Avenue in Arcadia on April 9 by construction workers who were working on her home. Tsai had been building a second unit on her property at the time of her slaying, according to NBC4 News.

Early in the investigation, sheriff’s officials said they believed Diaz ransacked Tsai’s home after killing her.

KABC Channel 7 reported the Department of Coroner determined that Tsai died from the “combined effects of multiple sharp force injuries, multiple blunt trauma and asphyxia.”

Arcadia police officers responded to a call from construction workers at Tsai’s home who found her body at around about 7 a.m. She was later pronounced dead at the scene. Her car, a white 2005 Lexus RX300, was missing but found parked in the 900 block of Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock last Thursday evening, April 18. The following morning, Diaz was arrested by deputies without incident at his apartment in Pasadena.

A motion by Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger for the county to put up a $20,000 reward passed, but since investigators developed the leads resulting in Diaz’s arrest the money is expected to go unclaimed.

Authorities have not released any information on a possible motive for the murder.

Anyone with information on Tsai’s murder is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. To provide information anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or download the “P3 Tips” Mobile app on Google play or the Apple App Store or by using the website lacrimestoppers.org. n

SPLIT DECISION

HIGH COURT LEANS TOWARD ALLOWING CITIZENSHIP QUESTION ON 2020 US CENSUS

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared to again be split along political party lines over whether a citizenship question should be included in the 2020 US Census.

The controversy surrounds the Trump administration’s plans to include the question, “Is this person a citizen of the United States?”

Federal judges in Maryland, New York and California have already ruled against the administration’s proposal, but on Tuesday it appeared that based on oral arguments the high court would likely vote 5-4 in favor of allowing the question.

Liberal judges, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, questioned and criticized the administration’s justification for the question.

“There’s no doubt that people will respond less” to the census if it includes the question, Sotomayor said.

Justice Elena Kagan called the need for a citizenship question “contrived.”

Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, both appointed by President Trump, pointed out questions about citizenship have appeared on the census in the past.

Population counts from the 2020 census will be used to determine how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets for the next decade. The data will also be used to help distribute nearly $900 billion every year in federal funding for such things as schools, roads and other public services.

“This is not benign information,” says Hermann Habermann, a former deputy director at the Census Bureau. “People’s lives are going to be affected by it.”

Six of the bureau’s former directors, who have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations, have warned that adding the citizenship question would jeopardize the accuracy of the population count.

The Trump administration has maintained that the question was added to collect more detailed citizenship data to enforce part of the Voting Rights Act. The district court judges concluded that was not the real reason for the administration’s last-minute push for adding the question.

“We’ve had the Voting Rights Act for 50 years,” said Andrew Pincus, an attorney representing former Census Bureau directors who have filed a brief against the idea in the Supreme Court case. “For its entire life, this data has not been available, and the Voting Rights Act has been enforced.”

The Census Bureau says it needs a final ruling on whether to include a citizenship question by June in order for the printing of paper forms for the census to begin this summer, as scheduled. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.25.19

fixed incomes,” Clawson warned.

Many times the danger comes from family members or caregivers.

In one case in 2016, Fran Breslauer’s live-in caregiver refused to leave her home and started moving furniture out of the house. The woman then sold 90-year old Breslauer’s clothing and left the house in shambles before she was arrested a year later.

The squatter, Cheryl Sherrell, pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal trespassing in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges of elder abuse and theft.

In other cases, caretakers move in and find ways to legally bilk seniors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and their homes.

Pasadena is home to nearly 20,000 senior citizens, all of whom are prime targets for scammers, say local law enforcement officials, who believe more and more con artists are targeting older Americans.

“Almost all of the crimes seniors citizens face is fraud,” said Pasadena Police Chief John Perez.

“What makes it terrible is many times it is their own family members that do it.”

Perez said he is planning to put together a volunteer group that will perform welfare checks on local elderly residents.

In addition, the Pasadena Police Department is planning two events on real estate fraud regarding the elderly. The first one will begin at 2 p.m. on May 22 at Villa Parke Community Center, 363 E. Villa St., Pasadena. For more information, call (626) 744-6530 or visit cityofpasadena.net/venue/ villa-parke-community-center-2/. The second one will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. on May 28 at the Jackie Robinson Center, 1020 N. Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena.

For more information, call (626) 744-7300 or visit cityofpasadena.net/venue/jackie-robinsoncenter-2/.

In 2012, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that people 60 and older made up 26 percent of all fraud complaints — the highest of any age group. The numbers will only increase as baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — continue aging. The 78 million boomers make up the largest portion of the population and many of them are not tech savvy and don’t understand the risks of identity theft.

The US Census Bureau predicts that people 65 and older will make up about 20 percent of the population by 2030.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention drew attention to elder exploitation as a public health problem in a 2016 report by Mark Lachs, co-chief of the division of geriatrics and palliative medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

In his report, Lachs called elder abuse a “public

health crisis” and pointed out victims, including those who suffer financial exploitation, have shorter life expectancies.

According to an article in Bloomberg News, every year seniors are bilked out of an estimated $37 billion. Many of those people lose hundreds of thousands of dollars to squatters who convince them to sign over money and homes.

According to the National Council on Aging, approximately 1 in 10 Americans age 60 or older have experienced some form of elder abuse.

In 2017, the FTC reported that people older than 60 are much more likely to report fraud than people in their 20s, but they are also far more reluctant to say they lost money.

“When people over 80 report losing money, the amount they lose is a lot higher than the amount younger people lose,” said Lois Greisman, elder justice coordinator of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The elder coordinator position at the FTC was created as part of the bipartisan Elder Abuse Prevention and Prosecution Act of 2017 authorizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to take steps to combat elder abuse. Under the new law, the federal government must create an elder justice coordinator position in federal judicial districts, at the DOJ, and at the FTC. The law also mandates the implementation of comprehensive training on elder abuse for FBI agents, and formation of a resource group to assist prosecutors in pursuing elder abuse cases.

The law also requires the DOJ to collect data on elder abuse and investigations as well as provide training and support to states to fight elder abuse. The law specifically targets email fraud by expanding the definition of telemarketing fraud to include email fraud. Prohibited actions include email solicitations for investment for financial profit, participation in a business opportunity, or commitment to a loan.

The law was signed shortly after the Senior Safe Act — modeled on a program by the same name in Maine.

The bipartisan act “empowers and encourages our financial service representatives to identify warning signs of common scams and help prevent seniors from becoming victims,” said US Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who co-authored the Senate version of the measure along with Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri.

“Exploiting and defrauding seniors is cowardly, and these crimes should be addressed as the reprehensible acts they are,” said Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, another co-sponsor of the legislation, adding that the new law “sends a clear signal from Congress that combating elder abuse and exploitation should be top priority for law enforcement.” n

DON LEIS GOES FOR GOLD AT THE PASADENA SENIOR GAMES

BY CELENE VARGAS

S

pend any amount of time at the Pasadena Senior Center and you’ll quickly learn that the motto there is “Age Well.” It’s on their T-shirts, windows and doors, as well as on the flyer for the 27th annual Pasadena Senior Games.

“It really is at the heart of our social wellness programming,” said Charmaine Nelson, associated director of marketing and communications at the senior center.

The games will run from Saturday, April 27 to July 14. Participants can demonstrate their athletic skills in any of the nearly 30 events that range from shuffle boarding to powerlifting. The games are open to individuals who are at least 50 years old and no competition experience is required. With this in mind, the Senior Center is anticipating at least 1,200 athletes to participate this year.

“Every year the Pasadena Senior Games promotes healthy lifestyles for older adults through education, fitness and the spirited competition of sports,” said Akila Gibbs, executive director of the Pasadena Senior Center, in a press release. “These remarkable athletes are shining examples of the benefits of an active lifestyle that embraces health and vitality.”

One shining example of the Senior Center and the games’ “Age Well” philosophy is Pasadena resident Don Leis. At age 87, Leis is one of the top 25 athletes worldwide in his age group in track and field and competes in the USA Masters Division. His passion for athletics started at young age.

“I’ve been running since I was 7 years old,” Leis said. “My older brother would take me out and teach me how to high jump and run.”

He said he was born into athletics and recalls sneaking into the Rose Bowl Game as a kid with his friend before getting caught by security and getting thrown out by their shirt collars. He still has his fi rst ticket to the Rose Bowl, given to him by his father when it only cost $3.75 in 1948, and has gone to every single game since then.

When he was at John Muir High School, he won the Pentathlon in 1950, and as a student at Pasadena City College, he was a two-time Golden Glove Champion in 1952 and 1953, winning 16 out of 17 fights, which helped him earn a boxing scholarship for Idaho State.

“All of those people take those blows to the head, and it doesn’t do them any good. If I had to do that over, I wouldn’t do boxing, I would just stay in track and field,” he said. “Or butterfly catching.”

Leis started competing at the Pasadena Senior Games in the late 1990s, which is what led to him becoming a senior world champion. He CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

estimates he has earned at least 500 medals, trophies and plaques from different competitions. It has gotten to the point where he has more medals than he can reasonably keep now that he’s trying to downsize and has begun donating them.

He recently gave some to the Senior Center and plans to visit the Naval Hospital near Camp Pendleton to give the soldiers medals with his friend, Terry Fitzhugh, a former USA track and field official and an ex-sergeant major in the Marines who grew up in Pasadena.

“People would say, ‘Why would they want that?’ And my buddy would say, ‘They know they didn’t win that, but they won a lot more than that. It just gives them something,’” Leis said.

He still keeps about 250 medals displayed on a board in his den that includes some of the fi rst he ever won, like the one from the pentathlon.

His dedication to track and field hasn’t wavered, and he can usually be found training all year long, but the last two months has seen him out of commission as a result of Achilles tendonitis, a common injury among runners. However, he’s not letting that stop him from competing at this year’s games and plans to use it as a test to see if he can continue with the competition season afterward. After all, he has a Masters Division title to defend. “[Competing] does something for me. There’s a lot of camaraderie between people,” he said.

It’s a sentiment echoed by Annie Laskey, director of events at the Pasadena Senior Center and manager of the Pasadena Senior Games.

“While hoping to take the gold themselves, competitors cheer each other on,” Laskey said. “It’s inspiring to see them encourage all of their fellow athletes to reach for their personal bests.”

Another test Leis has to see if he can still compete ties back to the Rose Bowl Game. After it’s over, he starts fast-walking up the hill that leads to Washington Boulevard, zig-zagging around people who stop to take breaks. If he can’t make it to the top without stopping, which he says is about a half-mile long, he won’t compete in track and field anymore.

Although his time to retire hasn’t come yet, Leis has gained perspective in the last few years.

“When I fi rst started competing at the Pasadena Senior Games in track and field, all I wanted to do was win a medal. It didn’t have to be gold. It didn’t have to be silver, but at least bronze,” he said. “Then I said, ‘Now I want a gold medal.’ I was never satisfied. I then wanted the Senior All American status, which I got so many times, I can’t count them. Then I wanted to be a National Champion.

“Then all of a sudden, in the last couple of years, I started thinking the whole world is not built around gold medals and national championships. I feel fortunate to having been able to do it, but I don’t like going around and advertising it,” he said in a phone interview. “My wife just chimed in and said, ‘You do, too,’” he laughed.

Leis is looking forward to the Senior Games, where he will participate in several events: the high jump, the long jump, the triple jump and the 100 and 200 meters. Aside from that, he is looking forward to seeing his fellow competitors and teammates during the rest of the competition season. “[Aging well] means exactly what I did; I aged well,” Leis said. ■ 12 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.25.19

Delicious, Filling and Cheap

FIND AMAZING BARGAINS FOR UNDER $10 AT TWO OF PASADENA’S ‘BEST’ RESTAURANTS

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE

B

efore starting this column last year, I was infamously cheap — champagne tastes on a beer budget with a Clark Griswold level of frugality. Before entering a restaurant I would scroll through Yelp reviews and then hound servers with questions in order to find the single best item on the menu. That was mainly because I was far too cheap to ever try more than one thing. So when my editor granted me this opportunity he had no idea that he had created a monster. For the past year I have been like an Amish teen on Rumspringa. Every other week I get to cover different restaurants and order way more food than I would ever need to eat. All without guilt, and all because it is my job and I now have a journalistic responsibility to experience as much as possible in the restaurants that I cover. Think of me as Augustus Gloop in the chocolate factory — except no one is telling me to get out of the chocolate river, yet.

While balling hard and ordering varieties of everything is unabashedly great, minus the very confused glances from patrons and staff as I hover over my three entrees like Gollum CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

protecting his precious, it does still leave my pants tighter and wallet lighter.

So this week I decided to slow things down a bit and look at restaurants that were more “fiscally conservative” and still served good food. Both of the places I visited this week are winners in our 2018 Best of Pasadena readers’ poll.

Lucky Boy took home awards for being voted Best Cheap Eats and Best Burrito, while Tom’s Famous Family Restaurant won the most votes for Best Restaurant Staff and Best Breakfast awards. Both places offer simple, stripped down yet comfortable dining styles, with their food as the main focus.

Lucky Boy, a mainstay and a celebrity in its own right for their breakfast burritos, has something of a cult following of residents and their out-of-town friends and relatives who are brought in under the promise of experiencing “The best breakfast burrito you’ve ever had!” There is no exaggeration here. A quick look at online reviews reveals people from across the country regaling readers with tales of their Lucky Boy experiences and vowing to return on their next visit to California.

Both of Lucky Boy’s awards are well-deserved.

They have four different breakfast burrito choices, all with a base of hash browns, scrambled eggs and cheddar jack cheese available all day, and coming in at $8 to $10. The Famous comes with a choice of bacon or ham. The Veggie comes with avocado in place of a meat option, and the Spicy uses a hot-link as the protein. The last breakfast burrito on the menu — the Supreme — comes with carne asada.

That beautiful, decadent, 10-buck burrito was my initiation into the unofficial cult of Lucky Boy. I will sing its praises from the mountain tops and unnaturally segue the Supreme into casual conversations for as long as it is on the menu. The craziest part of the Supreme is how simple it is.

There is honestly nothing new or innovative about a carne asada breakfast burrito. Lucky Boy just took the pieces to the puzzle, made them with care, and then put them all together. The carne asada is plentiful and well-seasoned without being too peppery. The tortilla is grilled slightly, like a blanket to keep everything inside nice and toasty. The jack cheese is at the right threshold of melty, with breakfast potatoes packing in even more flavor. And it is huge!

The staff at Lucky Boy knows there are some incredible combinations to be created with the different protein options, so do not be afraid to

Frankenstein the parts you like for some nominal upcharge. For instance, add avocado to the Supreme, or get both bacon and ham in the Famous. But I feel I must encourage you to experience the classics as they are if this is your first visit. Some Lucky Boy diehards say a trip is not complete without a side of Lucky Boy’s supposedly addictive ranch dressing, which works on everything from breakfast burritos to their fried zucchini.

Tom’s is technically a family-owned restaurant but breaks the carbon-copy mold by modifying their menu slightly at each location. It left enough impact on our area to win the most votes in both Best Breakfast and Best Restaurant Staff categories.

Every part of the experience at Tom’s made the time there more enjoyable. It also made me understand why it won in those two sections.

They have their own parking lot, adorned with well-manicured gardens of Spanish and French lavender. You order at the counter and take one of the classic numbered red pyramids to your table.

Tom’s is an old school family style restaurant with a small twist, where you can order at the countertop, take a numbered pyramid back to your table, and then get the traditional diner customer service. Or you can forgo that and get what you need at the drive-thru. With an award-winning staff and a comfortable interior, my suggestion is to go for the full experience.

Tom’s leaves you feeling like royalty, with massive portion sizes and disproportionately low prices. As I previously confessed, I order ungodly amounts of food, and Tom’s was no different from other places in that regard. Here I ordered Tom’s breakfast burrito ($6.59) strawberry pancakes ($7.89) a chili dog ($4.99), chili cheese pastrami fries ($8.58) and a slightly off menu peanut butter and Oreo shake ($3.59).

The experience got better and better as my more than generously portioned entrees came flooding out, carried by smiling and helpful staff filling my table with bright red whipped cream pancakes and a plate of pastrami fries so big that it drew the eye of a group of retirees who followed the plate with their eyes and excitedly asked, “What’s that?” The pastrami fries could not be beaten for the very reasonable price.

You need not worry that you’ll blow your budget or that you didn’t order the best item on the menu at either Lucky Boy or Tom’s. The menus are flush with great food, so release your inner glutton, or visit like a regular.

WHAT IF …

TEACHING THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR CHOICES IS ONE WAY TO HELP CHILDREN WITH ASPERGER’S SYNDROME

Dear Patti, My brother Jasper and I are 10 years apart. I’m 17 and he’s 7. My parents tried for many years to have more children after me. When my baby brother was finally born it felt like a dream come true.

Six months ago Jasper was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. My parents hired a special therapist to help him, but I want to help too. I’ve been trying to learn more about Asperger’s. I know it’s a neurobiological disorder of development and from what I can tell my brother is high functioning. The problem is that he can’t seem to relate to other people. He lacks basic social skills that other kids have naturally. Jasper gets invited to play once or twice and then doesn’t get invited again. He’ll see a toy that catches his eye and then he goes off to play by himself, which turns off other boys. He also refuses to play ball or other outside sports like everyone else. When he is around other kids, I see him take over the group by going on and on about science facts, not noticing the other kids looking bored and losing interest.

I feel so bad for him. I know he’s not trying to be selfish. He’s just trying to relate as best he can and is often misunderstood. Sometimes my parents scold Jasper and it breaks my heart. He’s always been very special to me and I want to protect him the best I can. I’m going to talk to his therapist as to how I can help but I also wanted to reach out to you. How can I help Jasper socially so he can make some friends?

— Aurora Dear Aurora, It is common that children with Asperger’s have difficulty learning social skills that come naturally to their peers. They often need social behaviors to be taken apart for them, piece by piece. These teachings need to be given with loving patience, even when they need to be repeated over and over again. Children with this disorder require much more direct instruction and repetition about social rules and expectations than a typical child requires.

Specific training for common, everyday social interactions — reinforced by countless repetitions — is a very effective intervention for individuals with Asperger’s. This includes instructing Jasper on how to approach another child, start a conversation, take turns in line, say appropriate greetings, use an appropriate tone of voice, and use appropriate rules of proximity (i.e., knowing how close or how far away to stand or sit next to another person).

It’s an invaluable lesson for Jasper to learn to use polite phrases such as “please” and “thank you,” establish and maintain appropriate eye contact, share and take turns, listen to others, and share conversations fairly and equitably. It would be helpful, too, for Jasper to learn how to observe other people’s feelings. For example, “Your friend Asher is sad because his toy truck is broken. Look at how his mouth is not smiling.”

The “what-if” exercise might be helpful as well. This is where you ask Jasper stepby-step what he’d do in certain social situations. For example: “What if a friend didn’t want to play with dinosaurs and wanted to run around outside instead? What are your options? You could play by yourself, get angry and go home, or you could try to play outside.” Review with him the consequences of each choice. “In the first choice, you would get to play but would be all alone. In the second choice, you wouldn’t get to play and would also be alone. In the third choice you might have fun and gain a friend as well.”

It may be more difficult and take a little more prowess to address Jasper’s skill deficits such as perseverating on a topic (even though the listener is no longer interested), making off-topic comments, interrupting or refusing to compromise, not recognizing that other children may not have the same level of interest in his interests and that he may need to talk about them for only short periods of time, as well as recognizing when to shift the topic of conversation.

While these skills may come more naturally to other children than they do to Jasper, that doesn’t mean that he can’t learn them over time. Although it may be difficult for both of you at times, Jasper is extremely lucky to have such a devoted big sister. 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.

HISTORIC HONOR LA to change Rodeo Boulevard to Obama Boulevard Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson has announced that the city of Los Angeles will officially change the name of 3.5-mile Rodeo Boulevard to Obama Boulevard on May 4 in honor of America’s 44th President, Barack Obama.

A free daylong music and street festival will also be held beginning at noon and include special guests and performers, vendors and food trucks, culminating in the unveiling of Obama Boulevard.

Locally, a portion of the Ventura (134) Freeway in Eagle Rock was named last year in honor of Obama.

At the LA event, celebrity musical guests include Doug E. Fresh, Yo-Yo, BJ the Chicago Kid and Battlecat, and Kurupt. The location selected for the ceremony is where Obama Boulevard will intersect with Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in one of Los Angeles’ most iconic black neighborhoods — creating one of the most significant African-American points of interest in the country.

Rodeo Boulevard runs from “The Heart of Screenland,” or Culver City, to Mid-City Los Angeles, passing by Dorsey High School and the Rancho Cienega Sports Center and Park — the 2007 site of a rally for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The event will be ticketed and is free and open to the public. Tickets for the event are available online at obamafest.eventbrite.com. Attendees must enter their ZIP code and there is a six-ticket limit per household.

SINGING HIS PRAISES Shawn D. Ingram named executive director of LACC A veteran arts administrator with 25 years of professional experience in nonprofit management and fundraising, Shawn D. Ingram has been appointed executive director of the renowned Los Angeles Children’s Chorus (LACC).

Ingram, who assumes his post on May 1, has been an integral part of Arts Consulting Group (ACG) since 2015, where he led the consulting firm’s contributed revenue practice and supporting a comprehensive international roster of clients with strategic fundraising and interim management solutions.

Under the auspices of ACG, Ingram, formerly a professional singer and dancer, served as interim director of development at Laguna Playhouse, interim chief advancement officer at Arizona Broadway Theatre, and, most recently, interim executive director at LACC. Prior to joining ACG, he was executive director of My Friend’s Place, which serves homeless youth, and held development posts at American Repertory Theater and La Jolla Playhouse, among other positions.

Led by Artistic Director Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, LACC annually serves 400 children ages 6 to 18 and is one of the nation’s premier youth choral institutions.

THE GIN BLOSSOMS, DUSTBOWL REVIVAL AND INCENDIO ARE AMONG THE MANY ACTS AT SATURDAY’S SOUTH PASADENA ECLECTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL

BY BLISS BOWEN

T

he Eclectic Music Festival and Arts Crawl will again brighten South Pasadena with live music and art displays this Saturday afternoon and evening. The Gin Blossoms will inject a note of hopeful nostalgia and chiming ’90s pop into the proceedings with their headlining set on the Eclectic West Stage at Fairview and Mission, following performances on that same stage by crowd-pleasing ensembles Dustbowl Revival, Incendio, and South Pasadena Transit Authority. The free, nonprofit community celebration will also host over four dozen other acts of varied genres and generations on a dozen stages around the core festival area along Mission Street.

Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps will be rocking the Eclectic East Stage on Mission near Fair Oaks. It’s been a jubilant year for James, songwriting bassist hubby Terry Wilson and their deeply roadseasoned band; James’ 10th album, 2018’s “Here in Babylon,” was nominated for a Best Contemporary Blues Album Grammy Award.

“We were just blown away,” she says, describing the bleary-eyed morning when her cellphone erupted at 6:30 a.m. with texts from friends congratulating her nomination. “We honestly didn’t have any anticipation of winning, because we were such a dark horse candidate.” (Fantastic Negrito won for “Please Don’t Be Dead.”) She laughs delightedly while recalling the February awards ceremony and “really

fun” nominees pre-party.

A Grammy nomination means their booking agent gets better responses now, but as they’ve habitually done throughout their wellrespected career, James and Wilson remain focused on their family and music; the Texas natives define success by their ability to have raised their son and daughter the way they wanted in Canyon Country while making the music they want to make. That’s where they’ve found their truest validation, and now they’re pleased to see more new faces in their audience.

“Festivals have a whole other thing going for ’em because it’s exciting with so many people, and you’re feeling that energy. Every kind of gig has its own reward, and its own vibe. Honestly, I just like to play,” James says. “I don’t care where it is.”

They’ve developed formidable chops over decades of playing bars and concerts; they have a live album ready that they hope to release this summer. Wilson matter-of-factly says they take a blue-collar approach to their craft.

“You work on it until you finish it, then you move on to the next thing, like you would build a kitchen cabinet,” he says. “It comes from a different inspiration point but you’re still putting something together; you work on it, rehearse until you get it right — and then you CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

As part of One Colorado Happy Hour Week, 41 Hugus Alley, Pasadena, live music is by the band Neon West, performing original songs reminiscent of classics from the past but with modern electronic elements, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday. Free. Call (626) 564-1066 or visit onecolorado.com.

currently preparing to record her second fulllength album (with some songs selected by fans), following 2017’s “Fight for You,” which included the song that pushed her onto the national stage: “In the River,” a protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Growing up in Manhattan, music was Zaragoza’s way to escape bullying and confusion about her Japanese-Taiwanese-Native American-Mexican heritage. She laughs when recalling her uninspiring first songs, about “boys and angsty teenage stuff … they didn’t feel like art.” When Standing Rock happened, she says, she realized she had her own stories to tell as a person of color. When she let those flow through her music, people responded — and she began to believe in herself.

“I wanted to be self-expressive but also wanted what I write to be bigger than me, and I wanted to be doing something that’s bigger than myself. So I had to dig deeper within myself.”

Surprisingly, her writing is seriously influenced by musical theatre. Her father portrayed Chief Sitting Bull in “Annie Get Your Gun” on Broadway, and Zaragoza excitedly recalls watching him and star Bernadette Peters perform eight shows a week.

“It’s a huge part of how I tell stories,” she says. “There’s a message to every musical.

You would never write a musical without some kind of lesson. I’ve always felt that if one of my songs doesn’t have an underlying lesson or message, that it’s not finished or something I really want to release, because I want my songs to be mini novels; I want them to be mini musicals; I want them to be crafted in a very thoughtful way, just like musical theatre.”

“People are looking for music to be a mirror to them,” she continues. “They’re looking to feel that they’re not alone. As a singer-songwriter, I’m most articulate through song. The deeper we go within ourselves and figure out what things we want mirrored back … those are the things to lean into. I think we’re all looking for some inspiration and comfort.” n South Pasadena’s Eclectic Music Festival and Arts Crawl takes place Saturday, April 27, with live music from 3 to 10 p.m. at various venues; free admission, except to the VIP Zone at the corner of Mission Street and Fairview Street, which requires wristbands.

try to not overdo it when you do it live.”

Veteran Austin-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gurf Morlix is similarly reveling in his finely honed craft. Morlix will perform a solo set Saturday, drawing material from his new blues-based album “Impossible Blue.”

Songs like the lively “Turpentine,” with which he’s been opening shows, the quietly uplifting “2 Hearts Beating in Time,” and “Sliver of Light,” Morlix’s sly philosophy about the working artist’s life, encapsulate his lean style and sound: sly, mordant wit pulsing with intelligence over an undeniable groove and smoldering guitar solos. As a songwriter, he sets his standard bar mighty high after five decades working as sideman and/or producer with the likes of Peter Case, Slaid Cleaves, Blaze Foley, Mary Gauthier, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen, and Lucinda Williams. He says he’s been writing songs since he was 17 or 18, and genially acknowledges it took “about 200 songs before I ever wrote a good one, that people responded to.”

“I’ve been extremely lucky to work with all those great songwriters, and I would talk to them about songwriting, and the stuff that they had to tell me, they were all kind of saying the same thing but I wasn’t ready to hear it until suddenly I was. It was basically about not giving up on a song. … If a song takes me 10 years to write, if I finally get it the way I want it, then it was worth all of that time. I used to just make them rhyme and just hope for the best, you know; ‘a day’s work, that’s good enough.’ But it’s not good enough. It’s got to be as good as it can be.” He estimates “Backbeat of the Dispossessed,” his elegy to longtime friend and drummer Michael Bannister, took nine to 10 years to “get beaten into shape.”

“It might be only one line that’s causing the blockage but once I figure it out, then I’ll record it and it’ll feel right to me. That’s the lesson I’ve learned.”

Just turned 26, Raye Zaragoza’s never known a world without cellphones or YouTube, so she shrugs if fans post videos of her performing still-raw songs. “I’ve only been an artist with an online presence,” she allows.

“But in this new world, the more transparent we can be, the more loyal our followers are because they feel [connected].”

An LA resident, Zaragoza’s been touring steadily for two years, sharing a socially conscious message through her music. She’s

SOULFUL LA SONGWRITER NINA STOREY PERFORMS NEW MATERIAL AT ONE COLORADO’S HAPPY HOUR SERIES WEDNESDAY

appy hours get a melodic twist over the coming week at One Colorado.

Live concert sets in the courtyard will feature poetic troubadour Tom Freund (Sunday), pop trio Neon West (Monday), socially conscious vocalist Malynda Hale (next Thursday), indie-pop songwriter Holland Greco (next Friday) — and, on Wednesday, soul-pop chameleon Nina Storey, who promises “quite a bit of new material,” performed solo or in a duo setup.

Check out Storey’s videos and Instagram feed, or listen to the acoustic folk-pop of her 2007 album “So Many Ways From Me to You” against the sleek retro pop and soul flavor of 2013’s “Think Twice,” and it’s clear she likes to adopt varying characters and concepts from project to project. “I love being playful, in the photographic space as well as the musical space,” she acknowledges. “I have music that’s very cinematic and theatrical, stuff that is hardcore techno, and some that is R&B. Whatever the music is, I want to serve it and be immersed in that — visually too.”

24 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.25.19

The Colorado native has been heard singing in assorted commercials and TV shows, and around town with some folk, funk, and rock side projects. She’s released at least half a dozen albums since her 1993 debut, “Guilt and Honey,” and has been recording several tracks she plans to release as singles before compiling them in an EP. The first, due next month, is “Stronger,” a hooky soul ballad she’s been polishing at live shows for a few years. She recently submitted it to NPR’s Tiny Desk contest.

Storey also writes a blog (strangelyoptimistic.com) of “comedic essays” about day-today “stuff” like aggressive freezer doors and how distanced online connections can make us feel.

What started as an “existential crisis” triggered by several bad first dates and some questionable gigs has morphed into another enjoyable creative outlet, which she’s trying to parlay into more substantial screenwriting and acting work.

“It’s an interesting avenue that has opened me up in different vulnerable ways. I think as hu-

man beings we need a tangible connection to things,” she says, referring to a post about social media. “We have this remarkable capacity to think in intangible terms, but as human beings we really need a physical connection to things to be planted in reality.”

For Storey, that connection occurs onstage. At the end of the day he identifies as a singer, with the emotionality of an R&B balladeer and a jazz chanteuse’s clear, centered tone.

“It’s a typically very comfortable space for me and I enjoy it immensely, so I feel very connected — it’s that physical connection with other human beings.

There’s an energetic reciprocity that happens. So that is a lovely and empowering and vulnerable and energetic space. My storytelling is this other side of me; a little snarkier, goofier. For better or worse, I’m just exploring different ways of expressing myself.” n Nina Storey performs in One Colorado Courtyard, 41 Hugus Alley, Old Pasadena, 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 1; free admission.

LISSIE, When I’m Alone: The Piano Retrospective (Lionboy/Cooking Vinyl): HHH½

Simple piano-and-vocal arrangements highlight the sturdy bones of Lissie Maurus’ melodic compositions, while freeing warm vocal nuances buried under production on recent recordings. The title track of last year’s slick “Castles” particularly benefits from the stripped-down approach, though it’s most gratifying to hear her resurrect earlier gems like the hooky “Sleepwalking” and “Don’t You Give Up on Me,” which sounds more commandingly persuasive here.

“Love Blows” calls out for more instruments, but she believably delivers Fleetwood Mac and Dixie Chicks covers like personal missives. At Largo at the Coronet in LA May 1 and 3. lissie.com

CLAUDE FONTAINE, Claude Fontaine (Innovative Leisure): HHH

An unlikely mix of reggae, Brazilian bossa nova and classic vocal pop that somehow strangely works, with Fontaine’s breathy vocals floating atop like sweet meringue. There’s a slight but winsome charm to her songs; they work best during the first, reggaedominated half (especially seductive jam “Cry for Another”) — partly because of the sheer incongruity of the genre mix, and largely due to beefy support from veteran players like King Tubby guitarist Tony Chin, drummer Airto Moreira and Steel Pulse bassist Ronnie McQueen. innovativeleisure.net/artists/claudefontaine

KELLY FINNIGAN, The Tales People Tell (Colemine): HHH½

The Bay Area artist, keyboardist and producer steps away from fronting the Monophonics with a solo debut showcasing him as an attentive student of classic soul. Arrangements crackle with smartly charted horns, organ, a gritty rhythm section and swooping harmonies that evoke the heyday of Motown; that AM radio-ready sound grabs the ear before the songs do. A natural showman (his dad’s veteran keyboardist Mike Finnigan), Finnigan’s instincts best serve tracks with more rhythmic punch like “I Don’t Wanna Wait,” “Smoking & Drinking” and “I Called You Back Baby.” RIYL Curtis Harding and Michael Kiwanuka. At the Mint in LA Friday, April 26. kellyfinnigan.com

RODRIGO Y GABRIELA, Mettavolution (Rubyworks/ATO): HHH

The storm of sound Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero generate from their two acoustic guitars has long been a feat worth witnessing, with Quintero’s inspiring percussive rhythmic attack supporting Sanchez’s ripping leads. That remains true on this seven-track set, which integrates rock and flamenco influences with unexpected contemplative turns.

Transposing the prog-rock spaceyness of Pink Floyd’s epic “Echoes” into a more compact, 19-minute instrumental theme of rumination and renewal makes that track the most attention-getting, but the dynamic shifts and fused genre elements of “Cumbé,” “Terracentric” and “Electric Soul” are equally substantive. rodgab.com

Righteous Rockabilly THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT BRINGS 30 YEARS OF BLAZING SHOWMANSHIP TO THE ROSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI Picture a dive bar in Fort Worth, near the campus of Texas Christian University, called The Hop, which hosted some of the most incendiary rock and blues shows imaginable throughout my time in college there. I walked in there for the first time in 1989, my freshman year, to find a band called The Reverend Horton Heat blasting through a set of rockabilly punk music.

Picture a dive bar in Fort Worth, near the campus of Texas Christian University, called The Hop, which hosted some of the most incendiary rock and blues shows imaginable throughout my time in college there. I walked in there for the first time in 1989, my freshman year, to find a band called The Reverend Horton Heat blasting through a set of rockabilly punk music.

Lead singer-guitarist Jim Heath managed to rip a furious guitar solo while wedged into the club’s doorway — literally walking his way up the wall with his head on the other side of the entrance and his back precariously hanging over the floor. It was a physicsdefying display of sheer electrifying showmanship that blew my mind and turned me into a fan for the next 30 years.

That also was the night Heath met 26 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.25.19

his wife, at that very show, making that the most memorable rock performance for each of us. Heath laughed uproariously earlier this month when reminded of his improbable feat, as he talked about his career leading into a show with his beloved band this Friday night at The Rose in Pasadena.

“We started in 1986, and been through a lot of drummers over the years, while my upright bass player has been with me for 30 years,” says lifelong Texan Heath. “The Hop is where I met my wife. She’s a Fort Worth girl. I’ve been a dad through this whole thing. I love being a dad. I’m not really a cool guy, but some of my friends are the coolest guys in the world. Reverend Horton Heat put my oldest daughter through college a hundred percent, and I’ve got two more coming up.”

Heath’s dad status is the last thing people might think of when watching a Reverend show, as he and the band tear through songs with humorous tales of hard living and fast women, but it’s all part of the wild ’50s image they love to keep alive. Heath explains that, while people often assume that he himself is the Reverend Horton Heat, it’s really a moniker for the entire band and had its roots in an odd club promoter’s strange

sense of humor.

“When I started this it was just me a solo thing, and this guy at the first Dallas club I played, which rented my PA systems for other shows, heard me singing for the hell of it one afternoon,” recalls Heath. “His name was Russell Hobbs and he said ‘I want you to play at a new club I’m opening across the street. I showed up, went in and set up my stuff, and he came up on stage and said my stage name would be Reverend Horton Heat.

“Russell had nicknames for everyone and for some reason he called me Horton. Told me my stage name was gonna be Reverend and I said naw, even though I was desperate and broke,” Heath adds. “But he’d already promoted to the papers and made flyers and I didn’t know it. That night people came up and said ‘that was really good Reverend’, so I ran with it. I was pretty broke at the time so I was afraid to oppose it, but it could’ve been worse. I get up there, smile, let it rip and have a good time.” n The Reverend Horton Heat plays at 9 p.m. Saturday at The Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena.

ountless horror films have relied on the distinct visual power of Catholic clergy and iconography to add weight to the supernatural battle between good and evil, and particularly the presence of demons. The 1973 film “The Exorcist” was so intense in its approach that it not only terrified millions on its way to becoming a box office smash, but even secured a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.

Yet, while that film featured its priest exorcist committing martyrdom to save a young girl from demonic possession, it had a grim tone that was extremely disturbing.

“The Exorcist” has also taken on legendary status as one of the most doomed productions in Hollywood history, with numerous accidents and even deaths on the set.

It took 40 years for another exorcism-themed film to shake up moviegoers at the same level, but when “The Conjuring” arrived in 2013 it proved to be a game-changer for the genre. First, it focused on the true-life tale of Catholic married couple Ed and Lorraine Warren, who were the top laypersons ever allowed to perform exorcisms in America, and it made them unabashed supernatural superheroes by the end as audiences rooted for them to win their battle.

“The Conjuring” managed to establish its terror in a unique way, as well — earning its R rating solely because of the intensity of its mood, and despite having no foul language, sex or nudity and little actual violence. The resulting worldwide smash has since inspired not only at least one direct sequel, but two spinoffs in the “Annabelle” series, last year’s hit “The Nun,” and now its latest offshoot, “The Curse of La Llorona.”

The new film plays off the Latin American folk legend of La Llorona, a beautiful woman who drowned her children as revenge upon her cheating husband, and then wanders the earth in spectral form in an attempt to grab other children and claim them as her own. The movie opens showing the initial drowning in the 1800s in Mexico before jumping to 1973 Los Angeles, where a recently widowed social worker named Anna (Linda Cardellini) with two sons is called in to investigate a mother named Patricia (Patricia Velasquez) whose two sons have been reported for missing too much school.

Anna finds Patricia’s boys locked in a closet and hiding in fear and thinks she’s doing the right thing by removing them from the home and placing them in a Catholic shelter for the night while Patricia is psychologically 28 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.25.19

evaluated. Anna thinks that Patricia is crazy because she says she was hiding her boys from La Llorona’s grasp, but that night the evil spirit finds the boys and winds up leading them to their deaths in the LA River basin.

Anna is called in to the death scene and brings her young son and daughter along in the car since it’s the dead of night. When her son sneaks out of the car against her wishes, he gets attacked by La Llorona and manages to flee back to the car, but the spirit follows them back to their home and great danger begins.

Anna has never considered herself a believer, but the frightening occurrences drive her to seek advice from a priest from the first “Annabelle” movie named Father Perez (Tony Amendola). Noting that it can take several weeks for an official, clerical exorcist to be approved, he informally refers her to a former priest named Rafael (Raymond Cruz) who is now a curandero.

Curanderos mix official exorcism techniques with an array of folk remedies (such as blending La Llorona’s tears with holy water to form a sort of anti-venom against her) to step into cases clergy might otherwise overlook.

The result is a wildly fun and exciting battle royale showdown between the family and Rafael against La Llorena that takes place all over Anna’s hugely spacious and staircase-laden house.

Writers Gary Dauberman (“IT” and the “Annabelle” films) and Emile Gladstone (“Army of One”) keep the key points of the “Conjuring” universe alive and well, maintaining its vision that there is genuine good and evil in the world and that the evil can be conquered by ordinary people if they put their complete trust in God. The performances in “La Llorona” are solid across the board, and director Michael Chaves makes his feature-film debut an impressive one by keeping the storyline and the action moving at a constant rapid clip that still makes logical sense and respects the audience’s intelligence.

That’s a rare feat these days in horror films, even as the overall impact is just goofy fun. Credit must be given above all to James Wan, who directed the first “Conjuring” and has overseen its entire universe. His consistent vision and his crowd-pleasing instincts (he also directed the smash hit “Aquaman” and the most recent “Fast and Furious” movie) keep these fun and its fans like me eagerly awaiting the next scary entry. n

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 201701825-CA. 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 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 181102323. 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.
