CHANCES ARE …

The Washington Post Fact Checker recently reported that President Trump surpassed 10,000 false statements since taking office. European odds maker bookmaker.eu releases odds on the total number of false statements President Trump will make on or before Nov. 3, 2020.

Current Odds: bookmaker.eu/live-lines/politics?c=4/2 Total number of false statements (as per Washington Post Fact Checker) made by Donald Trump on or before Nov. 3 2020: Over 22,500 -115 Under 22,500 -115 “It’s a high number, as it took 828 days for President Trump to get to 10,111 false statements,” said Bookmaker Political Odds Maker Rick Malone. “However, there has been a surge in false statements in the recent months.”

According to the Washington Post, Trump has gone from an average of eight false statements a day in his first 100 days to 23 falsehoods a day in the last seven months. “There is an obvious correlation to the number of speeches and interviews given to the total number of false statements.

The more he talks the higher the total goes,” Malone said. “Between the upcoming political rallies and debates, there should be ample opportunity for the president to surpass 22,500 total false statements.” ~ JOHN LESTER ODDS CONSULTANT BOOKMAKER.EU

FALLEN SO FAR

A majority of Americans support universal health care, sensible gun control, net neutrality and a host of other positions that continually fail to be enacted into law. These proposals are labeled controversial and even extreme, despite wide acceptance.

We are told our nation is “deeply divided.” Yet, it isn’t our citizenry but our government that is fissured.

We suffer from a democracy deficit, the will of the majority constantly stymied.

Many observers correctly identify voting manipulations, such as gerrymandering and arbitrary purging of voter rolls, as factors in the deficit. Overbearing corporate influence is rightly cited as well. But the barriers to democracy inherent in the Constitution itself are seldom noticed.

When the Constitutional Convention sat in 1786-1787, little democracy existed anywhere.

Heredity rulers sat on the thrones of Europe, and in America, where power was more widely shared, only propertied white males could vote. Aversion to majority rule was common among the convention’s representatives. Many equated democracy with mob rule.

Their mission was to replace the weak Articles of Confederation with a stronger federal union capable of a united defense and

coherent foreign policy. The plan needed acceptance by all 13 “sovereign” states.

Not an easy task. The states would need to give up some power, and no one ever wants to do that.

In particular the South feared the more populated North would dominate and that it would threaten the South’s “peculiar institution,” i.e. slavery.

Democracy was not on the table.

Through heroic and often bloody struggle over the years, ordinary people achieved a greater share of power. Nevertheless, even today, there remain the ghosts of 1787, artifacts of another time impeding the public will.

In our Legislature, for example, the powerful upper house, the Senate, consists of two members for each state, regardless of population. Thus, the Dakotas, each with less than a million citizens have together twice the voting power of California with almost 40 million! Fair?

It would be mathematically feasible and certainly more democratic to multiply each senator’s vote by a population factor. But would those who now hold disproportionate power accede to this kind of change? People seldom cede power unless forced.

Another artifact of 1787 is the Electoral College. When Hillary Clinton’s 3 million-vote plurality over her opponent did not give her the presidency, many foreigners were baffled. Most understood the result reflected our Electoral College anomaly, but what they couldn’t understand was why a purported Democracy continued to honor this creaky avoidance of popular government.

The answer was simple. Those who have an advantage under a system use their advantage to keep it, fair or not.

While perhaps most Americans revere our Constitution, what we most cherish are the changes we have made to it, beginning with the first 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights. Later amendments further enlarged the power of the common people and the inclusiveness of the electorate.

Recognizing unfairness and making changes is as much within our traditions as stubbornly defending unfair privilege because it bears the patina of age. One 2020 presidential candidate has called for the elimination of the Electoral College. This would be a reasonable place to start.

Our country has inspired many nations toward democracy since our beginnings. How ironic that today we ourselves fall so far from the ideal of government by the consent of the governed. ~ MARGARET MORRIS VENTURA 05.16.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 5

A COMPROMISE MANIFESTO UNPRECEDENTED POLITICAL TROUBLE LIES AHEAD IF SOCIALIST, PROGRESSIVE AND WALL STREET DEMOCRATS FAIL TO UNITE BY 2020

H

ouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently joined with others in the Democratic Party in raising the possibility that Donald Trump might not step down if he loses next year’s presidential election. The New York Times reported her concern that, “Trump would not give up power voluntarily if he lost re-election by a slim margin next year.” Pelosi argued that Democrats must unite to defeat Trump by a wide margin so that he can’t deny the legitimacy of a Democratic victory, according to the Times. Her statement is remarkable. Previously, Democratic Party centrists dismissed fears of Trump imposing fascism as excessively shrill and hence nonproductive.

Pelosi employed similar logic to oppose discussion of impeachment proceedings unless a mass groundswell develops to remove Trump from office.

Her point is well taken.

Hitler, like Trump, was never elected by a popular vote of the German people. Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, having amassed 43.9 percent of the vote. Germany did not have another fair election until re-unification in 1990. In the interim, the war against fascism cost 60 million lives. Pelosi understands that fascism has consequences.

The problem is how to unify today’s Democratic Party to create a landslide victory.

Democrats have to face the facts. The Democratic base has shifted dramatically to the left since 2016. Public opinion polls show that half of all Democrats self-describe as “socialist.” Democrats have a more favorable view of the term “democratic socialism” than they do of the term “capitalism.”

Yet, of the entire Democratic field of 22 candidates, only one, Bernie Sanders, identifies as a Democratic Socialist. Four years ago, when Sanders was a Democratic presidential candidate, polls showed him defeating Trump in a head-to-head matchup.

Sanders ran more favorably against Trump than did Hillary Clinton.

In 2016 the Democrats placated wealthy financial interests and nominated Mrs. Clinton, a candidate from the party’s conservative wing. After a heated convention in Philadelphia the Democrats then nominated a vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, who was even more conservative. The candidates shifted to the right while the base shifted left.

After the convention the Clinton-Kaine ticket took the traditional Democratic base for granted. They ignored the critical Democratic strongholds of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio. They extolled the virtues of free trade, as exemplified

by Bill Clinton’s North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), while thousands of workers in our industrial heartland lost their jobs due to NAFTA. NAFTA did create some jobs in the retail sector at places like Walmart, but these were subminimum wage jobs with no health care plan, often at 32 hours a week. The Democratic candidate, Clinton, sat on the Walmart board of directors. The Democrats forgot that politics is about perception.

Clinton ran up her popular vote in California making frequent fundraising trips to the toney parts of the Bay Area and Southern California. Progressive celebrity George Clooney hosted a $100,000 a plate fundraiser for Clinton. A short time later the Clinton team imposed on Clooney to do it again.

Trump exploited this Democratic contradiction to forge an Electoral College victory in the industrial heartland.

Speaker Pelosi has challenged Democrats to unite in 2020. However, an overwhelming majority of the Democratic candidates do not reflect the values of democratic socialism that are held by the base.

The Democratic Party’s candidates presume that activist progressives can be counted on to turn out the party’s socialist base while ignoring socialist concepts.

The 2016 Democratic Party platform attempted to address this contradiction by incorporating some progressive platform planks. The party platform opposed the death penalty, supported a $15 an hour minimum wage and presented viable concepts for universal tuition-free higher education at public colleges and universities, but Clinton and Kaine opposed those positions.

Speaker Pelosi is correct to raise our fear of Trump-imposed fascism. Now she needs to start a serious negotiation between the Wall Street Democrats and the Democratic Socialists. The outcome of this negotiation would reflect the best aspects of democracy and socialism. It is time for Speaker Pelosi to get Bernie Sanders, Alexandria OcasioCortez and Rho Khanna into the same room with Jamie Dimon, Sheryl Sandberg and George Soros. They need to hammer out a compromise manifesto that speaks to a new economy.

The penalty for failure is that Pelosi may be right. The election results of 2020 may be overruled by a fascist coup. ■

GROUP RAISES MONEY FOR LAWYER TO HELP FORCE COMPLETE CLEANUP AT SPACE BANK STORAGE FACILITY

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

T

he Pasadena City Council on Monday voted unanimously to send a letter to the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) questioning a Draft Removal Action Workplan [DRAW] regarding the toxic cleanup of a formal naval weapons test site in East Pasadena that’s set to become a housing and retail complex.

Meanwhile, Stop Toxic Housing, a group pushing for the total cleanup of the site at 3200 E. Foothill Blvd., has launched a Gofundme page. The group has raised $1,270 of a goal of $5,500 with which they plan to hire a lawyer. The group intends to file a lawsuit against DTSC and the city of Pasadena which would force several changes to the proposed project.

“For 30 years, the site had been manufacturing and testing military weapons,” wrote Tina Fredericks, a member of Stop Toxic

Housing, on her Facebook page on Saturday. “My daughter’s school is the closest school to the site. I work one block from this site.

As a renter, I appreciate the urgency of needing more housing but not at the cost of causing cancer in children. Stop Toxic Housing in Pasadena supports safe and responsible housing development.

While a majority of Pasadena City Council has been passive on this, Stop Toxic Housing in Pasadena will be taking this to court.”

In July, the City Council voted to approve the mixed-use project to include 550 apartments, 69 of them available at affordable pricing, and 9,800 square feet of space for retail businesses and restaurants on the 8.53-acre site.

Council members Tyron Hampton, Victor Gordo and Gene Masuda opposed the project. Gordo and Masuda have called on

An Oakland jury on Monday awarded $2 billion to an elderly married couple claiming they both developed cancer after years of using the weed killer Roundup, which contains glyphosate.

Alva and Alberta Pilliod claim they developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a result of using the herbicide.

Since Monsanto was acquired by Bayer last year, two other plaintiffs received a total of approximately $369 million in damages. There are more than 10,000 other lawsuits facing the company.

During the most recent trial, lawyers revealed internal Monsanto emails that allegedly showed company employees talking about ghostwriting scientific papers and covertly paying front groups to promote the safety of its herbicide.

Attorneys for Bayer claimed the couple has long had health issues and said there was no scientific link between glyphosate and cancer.

The World Health Organization has ruled glyphosate “probably” causes cancer. The US EPA, however, says it is not a carcinogen.

On the day of the ruling, Bayer announced that Monsanto kept a list of influential people that includes scientists and journalists whose positions they allegedly planned to use to influence public opinion on the use of pesticides.

The names on the list were not immediately available.

“We stand for openness and a fair treatment of all interest groups,” said Bayer in a statement.

Locally, Roundup has been banned in Pasadena since last year. After the Pasadena Weekly reported the controversial herbicide was being sprayed on county property in Northeast Pasadena, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger introduced a motion to ban use of the herbicide for 30 days while county officials studied it and searched for an organic replacement.

A proliferation of TV ads for the product recently hit the airwaves in Southern California on the heels of those two lawsuits. Communities in 13 states have placed restrictions or bans on Roundup.

According to the Department of Agriculture, in 2014 about 240 million pounds of glyphosate were sprayed in the US. As a result of widespread spraying, glyphosate has now been found to contaminate air, water and soil across vast expanses of the country.

RULING THE ROAD

AMGEN TOUR ENDS AT THE ROSE BOWL SATURDAY

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

An estimated 10,000 fans are expected to gather at the Rose Bowl Saturday for the finish of the Amgen Tour of California bicycle race.

Riders in the women’s competition are expected to arrive at noon, followed by riders in the men’s race at 1:10 p.m.

The race kicked off with three-time World Champion Peter Sagan claiming his 17th California stage win by a wheel over USA Cycling National Team’s Travis McCabe, according to the Amgen Tour of California website.

Sagan and McCabe were neck and neck as they began Stage 2 of the race.

“We will see here day by day how it’s going …,” said Sagan on the website. “I had stopped [winning] for one year, last year I didn’t win, but I am very happy that I could catch another one. If I can continue like this, it’s gonna be nice to hold some record here in the [Amgen] Tour of California.”

By the time they finish in Pasadena, cyclists will have traversed more than 750 miles through 13 host cities from Sacramento to Pasadena in the elite professional cycling race.

Cyclists will enter Pasadena via Arroyo Boulevard/Windsor Avenue and proceed southbound on Arroyo to Rosemont Avenue, where they will enter the Rose Bowl area and proceed to and finish along West Drive, adjacent to the iconic stadium.

The Amgen Tour is considered a prep event for the 2,200-mile, 21-day Tour de France, providing spectators with a preview of some of the competition for that event.

Riders started Stage 1 in Sacramento and proceeded from Rancho Cordova to South Lake Tahoe in Stage 2, before crossing through Stockton to Morgan Hill in Stage 3. In Stage 4 cyclists competed from the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca to Morro Bay and then from Pismo Beach to Ventura in Stage 5. The home stretch takes riders from Ontario to Mt. Baldy and finally from Santa Clarita to Pasadena.

Several streets in West Pasadena impacted by the race will be closed for the finish from 11:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Some streets around the Rose Bowl recreation loop will be closed to all traffic by 8 p.m. on Friday.

The Rose Bowl loop will remain closed following the conclusion of the race through 9 p.m. Saturday, for the first-ever Rose Pedal, an open-streets bike ride, sponsored by the Rose Bowl Stadium.

On event day only call (626) 397-4141 for information about street closures and parking. Additional information about the Amgen Tour of California, including public access maps, can be found online at visitpasadena.com/events/amgen-tourcalifornia. n

DOCK LEAVING CITY MERMELL PICKS NEW TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Laura Cornejo will replace Fred Dock as the city’s new director of transportation.

Cornejo will begin her job with the city on June 3. Dock is retiring after 12 years as head of the city’s Steve Mermell transportation department.

“After conducting an extensive search which attracted numerous applicants from a range of agencies, Laura demonstrated the skills, experience and savvy to effectively lead the department of transportation,” said City Manager Steve Mermell. “She has a proven track record of implementing and delivering numerous transportation projects in collaboration with the communities she’s served.”

The department’s priorities include the Complete Streets Program, which focuses on increasing the number of safe, comfortable ways that people can travel around the city.

The department is also focused on providing and improving local transit services such as Dial-A-Ride; enhancing the efficiencies of parking management; and improving organizational and operational effectiveness, efficiency and communication with the community.

Cornejo received a master’s degree in urban and regional planning from UCLA and a bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in economics from Wellesley College. She resides in Whitter, where she previously served on the YMCA board of directors and currently serves on Whittier’s planning commission. She is fluent in Spanish and has more than 17 years of experience in government.

She previously served as the deputy executive officer of countywide planning with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro).

In that position, Cornejo was responsible for leading a team in delivering transportation infrastructure that ranged from rail and pedestrian to bicycle projects.

Cornejo has also provided technical support and guidance to the 88 cities in Los Angeles County for their respective projects. Prior to joining LA Metro, Cornejo served as the interim director of transportation and manager of strategic planning and intergovernmental relations with the city of Montebello. In this role, she oversaw a $40 million annual operating budget. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.16.19

TOXIC TORT

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

the DTSC to extend the deadline for the public to comment on the RAW for toxins found at the site. The deadline was extended until May 14, after the DTSC refused to grant the extension, but published the wrong date on its website.

The developer, the Trammel Crow Co., earlier this month committed to testing for royal demolition explosive (RDX) and trinitrotoluene (TNT), but maintained explosives were not tested at the site.

“There is no evidence of RDX or TNT,” wrote Neal H. Holdridge, principal environmental manager at Trammell Crow Co., in an April 29 letter to City Manager Steve Mermell, Planning Director David Reyes and City Attorney Michele Beal Bagneris.

“Contrary to certain assertions, the historic record does not indicate that the site is contaminated with RDX and TNT,” Holdridge wrote. “Nor is there any evidence that these compounds (which are explosives that are used in warheads) were used onsite. The site was a research and development facility for prototype fabrication and delivery testing — propulsion, pressure, and guidance testing.”

The site, now the Space Bank Mini-Storage facility, housed the Naval Information Research Foundation from 1940-1978 according to the DTSC. During that time, the US Navy conducted testing and other scientific work involving “classified materials, testing and other weapons,” the DTSC wrote in a report about the site in 2018.

“They don’t listen very well,” said retired union organizer Gary Smith. “We said it’s in the propellant.

In the Chino Hills Rocketdyne site, percholorate, RDX and TNT were all over the place and they were only testing small arms and the solid fuels rockets just like the Pasadena site.”

The property was purchased in 1979 by Robert Oltman, who also with his wife Arlene started the now closed Pasadena Museum of California Art. Oltman did not return phone calls seeking comment on this story.

Recent tests have revealed the presence of “hazardous materials in the soil and soil vapor, and potentially in groundwater beneath the property,” according to a city report, which does not identify the hazardous materials mentioned.

According to the group’s Gofundme page, the lawsuit will demand full site testing and cleanup before any development can begin, a change in the project design to include better pollution control and filtration systems, and carbon air-filtration systems that will better protect residents from nearby freeway air pollution, including diesel particles and volatile organic compounds.

The group plans to hire local attorney Mitchell Tsai, who was hired to fight the city’s archery ordinance in 2015.

“I can’t speak to the case yet,” Tsai told the Pasadena Weekly on Monday. “They have contacted me and we have come to an agreement. I believe

the final RAW is still being worked on so there is nothing to sue for yet. But based on information the city has uncovered and what would happen if the project was to move forward, significant information has come out on the project. The city should put it on hold and conduct supplemental environmental review.”

The group wants toxins at the site removed before construction begins. According to Tsai, the group is also concerned about potential health problems that could be caused by placing residents too close to the freeway.

On Monday, the council unanimously approved a letter to the DTSC written by Alta Environmental, a consulting firm hired by the city to provide oversight of the DTSC’s Removal Action Workplan.

The letter will include several changes recommended by Gordo and Masuda that call for testing of the soil and groundwater. The letter will now also ask why there was not a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) which calls for a more robust toxic removal, instead of a Removal Action Workplan, or RAW. “Numerous and varied laboratories were identified at the site, including combustion, chemistry, hydropropellants, welding, hydrodynamics, structures, metallurgy, experimental physics, ballistics and simulator labs,” the letter reads.

The letter calls for the DTSC to investigate the use of explosive chemicals RDX and TNT at the site, the installation of a slurry cap at the site if the presence of toxic chemicals are above the state’s cleanup goals, and reclassify the Draft RAW as a shallow soil plan since the groundwater investigation has not been completed.

“These chemicals TNT and RDX were used extensively in the manufacture of munitions and accounts for a large part of the explosives contamination at active and former US military installations,” according to the consultant’s letter.

“Based on this information, the city recognizes a potential for RDX and TNT to be a chemical of concern … and as such recommends the development of a DTSC approved sampling plan to investigate the presence of those chemicals onsite.”

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, RDE is an explosive that can be combined with other ingredients to make plastic explosives. The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that RDX is a possible human carcinogen based on the presence of liver tumors in mice that were exposed to the substance for one to two years. People who inhaled large amounts of dust containing RDX suffered seizures.

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) can cause birth defects, spleen enlargement and abnormal liver function, according to the EPA. “We want a project that is safe,” said Masuda.

“People should not have these concerns where they live.” n

Moving On SURVIVING THE PROFOUND LOSS OF A LONGTIME SPOUSE

BY MARY REINHOLZ

I

t was on June 28 last year when her life turned upside down.

Susan Ellison, 58, a native of the British midlands, was puttering around the hillside house in Sherman Oaks that she had shared for more than three decades with her famous (and pugnacious) 84-year-old writer husband Harlan Ellison, best known for his science fiction. He had dubbed it the Lost Aztek Temple of Mars long before suffering a stroke in 2014 that left him bedridden.

“I’m an insomniac and he was still asleep when I checked in on him early in the morning,” she recalled during a telephone conversation. “Then his therapist came,” and found him unresponsive.

“I thought he’d go kicking and screaming, but he died quietly. And I thought I’d be a lot more prepared,” she continued. Instead, she said, “I essentially shut down. He gave me a terrific life and he loved me completely. But I gave my life to him and now I don’t know who I am anymore. I have to fi nd out.”

The experts say everyone reacts differently to a profound loss.

Conservative author and humorist Burt Prelutsky, a columnist for Patriot Post and writer of TV episodes ranging from “Dragnet” to “Diagnosis Murder,” threw himself into his work after the Jan. 14 death of his third wife, Yvonne, who succumbed to cancer at age 81. She had been in the hospital for a week, and he knew her death was imminent. Even so, he wrote in his column, her passing “felt like a ton of bricks had landed on me.”

These days Perlutsky, 79, is missing his wife’s laughter and paying her bills. “Yvonne’s death doesn’t dominate my life, but with all the crap (banks, credit card companies, Social Security, material goods, etc.) it comes damn close,” he said in a series of emails. “Did I mention that I had to deal with selling her car that I was still paying off?” he added in our exchange from his North Hills home. “That tied me up for days. They never mention any of this in those heart-tugging dramas about people losing their spouses. I don’t know when people have time to grieve.”

Yes, death is expensive and inconvenient in America.

Several experts I spoke to say that there is no timetable for how long the grieving by survivors goes on, dismissing the ”five stages” — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance — cited by disciples of the late Swiss American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler Ross from her groundbreaking 1969 book, “On Death and Dying.”

Bereaved people “just don’t go through one (phase) and then you’re done with these emotions and you don’t feel them anymore,” said Ahmed Kauser, PhD, a clinical psychologist and director of the Simms/Mann-UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology. “It takes a lot longer than people think.

There’s a lot of intensity in the first year — around birthdays and holidays. It’s very cyclical.”

There are numerous support groups in the Pasadena area, many of them free, such as an CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

ongoing group that meets Monday evenings at 7 p.m. at All Saints Episcopal Church at 132 N. Euclid Ave. Cabot & Sons Funeral Home at 27 Chestnut St. has compiled a partial list on its website cabotandsonsfh.com/resources/griefsupport.

Mountain View Mortuary, Cemetery and Crematory at 2400 Fair Oaks Ave. in Altadena is planning to hold its first gathering with “coffee and conversation” for relatives and friends of deceased loved ones buried at its cemetery sometime around Memorial Day, said Funeral Director Donny Dormody, who is also a writer and actor.

“It will be a get together to share family stories and you’ll see people from all walks of life,” he said. “They’ll walk around the cemetery and see the tombstones and it will be consolation that they’re not alone in their grief. I don’t think it should be doom and gloom. The trend is to be celebrating a life.”

As for when it’s a good time to attend a continuing grief group, one seasoned group leader believes the newly bereaved should take their time before joining up.

“Anyone who has experienced the loss of a significant loved one knows they’re not ready to enter a group process” right away, asserted psychotherapist Gloria Lee, who heads two free six-week bereavement groups each year at St. Bede the Venerable Roman Catholic Church in La Cañada Flintridge. (The next one starts Sept. 18).) “Most have so much paperwork that it’s overwhelming. A few have tried to start with a group but soon realize that their level of concentration is almost zero and they aren’t able to assimilate any information or be able to listen about someone else’s loss. They just need to hibernate for a while.”

Indeed, a 73-year-old lifelong Pasadenean who was widowed early in November asked that her name and that of her husband’s nursing home stay out of this article, stating that what happened there was “just so personal.”

She was more comfortable describing how she withstood the enormous costs that arose from her husband’s 17-month stay at the nursing home while suffering from Stage 4 Parkinson’s disease.

An elder care lawyer she retained helped her get him qualified for Medi-Cal before he completed his fi rst 100 days at the nursing home which was covered

by Medicare. “Then Medi-Cal kicked in, paying a share of the cost and I paid a share each month.” She noted that Medicare, Medi-Cal and Anthem Blue Cross 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.16.19

paid for his hospital stays. “Basically, I learned how to protect our assets within the guidelines of the current system.”

Pasadena elder law attorney Christopher B. Johnson recommends that surviving spouses make sure that their health insurance actually covers itemized expenses so they don’t wind up paying all of a deceased partner’s bills. “Sometimes the bills may not be accurate,” he said. “(Spouses) should check first before they pay after a death when things are mixed up and a lot of things should be covered and a lot of times they can be negotiated.”

When it comes to payment for nursing homes, Johnson said that Medi-Cal can “make all the difference” in defraying those costs. However, Johnson notes that the state will try to get repaid “for what they put out on Medi-Cal,” so he suggests recipients put assets like a house into a “living trust” for protection.

He said spouses without assets can file for bankruptcy to extinguish debts and still keep Social Security benefits which are “not-attachable” and are protected under federal law.

No such scenarios faced La Cañada Flintridge widow Wesley Bartera when her husband Ralph, a retired civil engineer and scientist, died from a heart condition on May 21, 2018 at 82. “Every asset we had became mine,” she said. That included the two-story house they lived in since 1963 with their three children.

Bartera, 81, a musician born in Mississippi and a former owner of a La Cañada Flintridge food business, lives alone now, calling it a “tremendous adjustment.”

She joined a weekly spousal loss group conducted by Judith R. Levine, PhD, a Pasadena family therapist specializing in grief counseling. Bartera said a yoga teacher recommended Levine after she had tried several groups that didn’t work out for her.

But she said Levine’s group has been helpful and she seems open to new possibilities now, taking a trip to Ireland recently. “I discovered the world is full of loving, caring people who will give you a hug or whatever you need. I go to the symphony in town. I play the piano. I go to plays. All of these things are part of the world and the world is beautiful.”

Sometimes, she admitted, the feelings of grief are devastating. Then, as if remembering her yoga classes, she said, “You just have to breathe in and breathe out and the feelings go away.” ■

GLENDALE’S CHESS PARK TAVERN SERVES UP GOOD TIMES ON BUSTLING BRAND BOULEVARD

BY EVELYN GARCIA / PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO

espite the April showers and May gray we’ve been experiencing the last couple of weeks, I have been more than ready to delve into warmer weather and enjoy lunches and dinners at picturesque restaurants. There’s nothing better than a glass of wine or a cocktail, a good meal and beautiful ambiance.

The recently opened Chess Park Tavern in Glendale, just up the street from The Americana on Brand, checks off all of those boxes, and more. They just opened their doors on bustling Brand Boulevard earlier this month, taking over the former chess park that housed 16 concrete tables topped with chess boards. Its unique theme, along with photos of the space, was enough to draw me in within the first week.

The evening I dined at Chess Park it was quite busy, and my dining companion and I were told if we wanted to be seated

ZELO GOURMET PIZZAS 328 E. Foothill Blvd.Arcadia 626-358-8298 myzelopizza.info $$ It’s the cornmeal crust that makes this pizzeria stand out from the rest. This locally owned establishment’s signature dish is the fresh, corn, balsamic-marinated, oven-roasted red onion pie. Zelo Pizzeria has expanded the dining room to better serve you, so come in and give Zelo Pizzeria a try.

outside there was only one small table available facing the street. We didn’t mind, and I couldn’t help but find it surprising for a new restaurant on a Thursday afternoon. I quickly learned that the immediate appeal and likely factor in early buzz was the overall experience and ambiance of the trendy restaurant. It was dimly lit inside with a large bar at the center of the room. Waiters and bartenders were wearing 1920s era clothing, giving off a speakeasy vibe, and (my favorite part) a live band played in their main outdoor dining area.

While we were seated away from the commotion, we were never forgotten. In fact, within the first 10 minutes of being seated restaurant staff came up to us four times, which continued throughout the entirely of our meal. Once to greet us with menus, the next to bring over our waters, then the complimentary baked chips, and the last to refill the bit of water we had drunk up to that point.

It’s difficult to be certain, but I don’t believe I have had a waiter or waitress who was more attentive than those at Chess Park Tavern. To start, we ordered the fried sweet chili cauliflower ($7) and an order of fries. The cauliflower was great and served with the perfect dipping sauces to balance out the sweetness.

There wasn’t a wide array of options on the menu in terms of entrees, but what they do feature are some of the best staple dishes that any restaurant could boast. I ordered the Grilled Mary’s Chicken twin slider bites made with romesco, arugula, cherry tomatoes and fontina cheese ($13).

The sandwich was good, although I wished they would note on the menu that the chicken sliders are served on baguette bread and not the traditional miniature burger buns, as are the beef and short rib options. Or, perhaps, some pesto to moisten the bread and provide even more flavor would do the trick. My friend ordered the lobster ravioli ($14), one of their standout dishes on the menu, made with lobster, cherry sauce and tomato confit. To top it off, she had a glass of wine (of which there were plenty to choose from) and made for the perfect dinner as the sun began to set.

Other entrees that looked heavenly as they

whisked by our table were the flatbreads, five to choose from ($12-$14). While there were only five dishes listed under main course (though there are plenty of other main course-worthy plates), they each hold their own to cater to an array of diners.

This short list boasts Branzino fish, grilled chicken breast, lamb chops, pan roasted salmon, and tenderloin, all served with their respective sides of quinoa, potatoes, veggies, or greens ($16-19).

Chess Park Tavern also serves a hefty list of draft beers from the typical lagers to Golden Road IPA, Ballas Point Grapefruit Sculpin and Golden Road Hefeweizen. Cocktails include an Island Mule, their take on a mint julep called a Foothills Julep, and a Forgive and Fernet, made with fernet branca, lemon juice, orgeat, aloe and egg white, all $14.

A waiter earlier during our dinner came over with a tray and asked us “S’mores?” clearly mistakenly thinking we ordered the fluffy treat in his hands. We were honest and told him it wasn’t ours, but when our friendly server suggested dessert we pondered the other options: ice cream biscotti, key lime cake, or a berries tart, among others. It wasn’t a difficult choice. We went with the S’mores Dipm ($8), and if this doesn’t symbolize summer and warm weather, I don’t know what does. It is essentially a skillet of gooey s’mores topped with melted chocolate chunks and served with graham crackers for dipping on the side. While it was slightly difficult and messy to eat properly — as most s’mores are — it was undeniably delicious.

After the s’mores takedown I went to wash my hands and was motioned to walk through what seemed like an entirely different restaurant, although connected to Chess Park Tavern. I learned it is its own establishment, a pizza chain called Big Mama’s & Papa's Pizzeria, and both have the same owner. Although they are housed under the same roof and share a restroom, they do a good job of differentiating one from the other.

Chess Park offers a community feel perhaps similar to that the chess players felt during tournaments and events at the park, only this one serves alcohol, live music and great dessert.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

CYCLOTHYMIA, A MILDER FORM OF BIPOLAR DISORDER, AFFECTS BETWEEN 1.2 MILLION AND 3 MILLION AMERICANS

Dear Patti, My brother Lucas and I are 21 months apart. I’m the younger one. My friends and I have always joked that Lucas is manic-depressive because he’s always kind of up and down in his moods. I never know what he’s going to be like from one moment to the next. He may be happy and fun to hang out with for a week and then all of a sudden he’ll get sad and depressed and not want to do anything at all, even though nothing bad has happened. I’ve resented it for years because deep down I felt like Lucas could control it if he really wanted to but I thought he just wanted attention.

Friends have said that Lucas is my parents’ favorite because he’s a boy and I’m a girl. I don’t believe that. I know my parents love both of us equally, but it doesn’t always feel that way. I usually have to take a back seat because Lucas is such a handful and my parents get really stressed about him. His grades are up and down and he’s run away twice, which was really scary for the whole family.

This year he fell in love with a girl for the first time and was crazy about her.

They were together all the time and he talked about their love constantly. Then out of the blue Lucas broke up with her. He immediately became depressed and wouldn’t come out of his room or talk to anyone. The broken hearted girl kept calling me asking what she did wrong. I didn’t have a clue.

Finally my parents insisted Lucas get a complete psychiatric work-up. To my surprise, Lucas was diagnosed with cyclothymic disorder. He is now taking medication and going to therapy twice a week. I was shocked because even though sometimes I teased him and called him crazy, I never really thought there was anything wrong with my brother. I thought he was just selfish and spoiled. Now that I know Lucas has a real problem I feel sad and a little guilty. I want to help him if I can. Could you tell me more about cyclothymia? My family had never even heard of it before Lucas was diagnosed.

— Claire Dear Claire, While I understand your regret about your natural frustrations toward your brother, there was no way for you to know about his disorder. Rather than feeling guilty, I support you wanting to focus on understanding his disorder and learning more about how you can help Lucas.

Cyclothymia is a milder form of bipolar disorder and brings about mood changes that alternate between depression and mania. It’s not as severe as bipolar disorder and patients who suffer from it usually don’t need inpatient care or experience psychotic symptoms. Your brother isn’t alone. The American Psychiatric Association estimates that cyclothymic disorder affects between 1.2 million and 3 million Americans. Treatments for cyclothymia include psychotherapy with a trained professional specializing in treating mood disorders, medications referred to as mood stabilizers, or a combination of psychotherapy and medication.

As your brother has probably experienced, cycling from one mood to the other can happen suddenly and last for hours or sometimes days. At first he might feel downcast and empty to the point that life seems hopeless and bleak. Then a rapid shift of mood may occur that causes him to feel euphoric, energized, or even compelled to engage in impulsive behavior with risky consequences. People struggling with cyclothymic disorder can come across as moody, dramatic, and unpredictable, which can be very difficult for their loved ones.

Encourage Lucas to keep daily records as a way of monitoring his mood swings, activities, and interactions with others. Charting can help identify warning signs that come right before a manic or depressive episode. With the help of his therapist, he’ll be able to recognize what types of social and interpersonal interactions contribute to his mood changes. A plan can then be developed to avert the escalation of his symptoms.

It’s important to remember that your brother can’t control his mood swings by simply willing them to go away. Nor is it effective for family members or friends to scold Lucas and tell him to “snap out of it.” The more you learn about cyclothymia, the better you’ll be able to understand what he’s going through. Have as much patience and empathy as you possibly can — but don’t lose your own sense of self in the process. 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.

PROVING GROUNDS AUTHOR DEAN KUIPERS EXPLAINS HOW REBUILDING TROUBLED LAND HELPED REPAIR HIS FRACTURED FAMILY IN ‘THE DEER CAMP’

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

G

rowing up in Michigan, Dean Kuipers endured life with an emotionally distant father who used the certitude of his rigid religious faith and his fiery temper to block any meaningful connections with his family.

Bruce Kuipers was also a serial cheater and imploded his marriage in addition to driving his sons away.

After many years of estrangement, Bruce made a dramatic attempt to improve relations with Dean and his two brothers by purchasing a run-down, 100-acre deer hunting camp and inviting them to share it fully with him. Yet, even then he imposed strict rules that compelled his sons to take a stand and say that if they were going to be a part of it, they wanted to make a mark of their own in improving the grounds.

That effort, which resulted in an almost miraculous rejuvenation of land that had long seemed ruined, also paid off with revived family bonds that transformed a lifetime of pain. The experience moved Dean Kuipers so much that he spent the past decade crafting the memoir “The Deer Camp: A Memoir of a Father, a Family, and the Land That Healed Them,” which he’ll be discussing and signing Friday night at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena.

“The change that came over my dad and our family was so remarkable that my two brothers and I all felt it and talked about it, and I wanted to bring this story to other families,” says Kuipers, who was deputy editor of the former Pasadena Weekly sister newspaper LA Citybeat. “Honestly, I thought that if our family could change then any family could change, and maybe getting your hands in the dirt is one way to do it that has a good chance of working.

“His life was a series of strategies to avoid communicating in any way,” Kuipers continues. “I guess he was so insecure that he was 16 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.16.19

constantly looking for a way to be beyond scrutiny.

But once we started working on the cabin property — cutting and regrowing trees, seeding fields to rye and buckwheat, planting berry bushes — he couldn’t avoid the communication. The place talked to him, and suddenly he realized it was OK to talk to us. He became a real chatterbox.”

Writing the book often proved difficult. Kuipers had been raised in a small town environment that placed a great deal of importance on not airing dirty laundry. At the same time, he was happy to share the lessons he learned about the connection “between the human-nonhuman community,” and the fact that bonding with nature led to bonding among his family.

“My brother Brett suggested we improve the habitat to make it better for ruffed grouse and woodcock, but Bruce refused,” says Kuipers. “The soil was pure beach-sand and Dad was afraid that if we cut down any of the crappy plantation trees someone had planted 50 years before, that nothing would ever grow back. The more we suggested changes, the more he was gripped by fear.

“This book is really about the moment when we all said we were going to quit seeing him and so he relented and cut seven acres of trees on the property,” he adds. “It was a huge risk for us, too, because if the trees didn’t come back then we would have validated his world view that we were worthless and that the earth was failing him. But when trees came blasting out of the ground the following spring, our father became a different person. He was kissing me, hugging me, saying he loved me. He suddenly had utter confidence in us and expressed interest in all of our ideas.

It was so satisfying to see the old man truly, honestly enjoying himself and enjoying our company.”

Kuipers has built a strong career in journalism, with two prior nonfiction books: “Operation Bite Back,” a 2009 recounting of the story of eco-radical Rod Coronado and the use of domestic terrorism charges against US environmental activists, and 2007’s “Burning Rainbow Farm,” about the 2001 FBI shooting of two libertarian pot activists on a farm in Michigan. He was also an editor at Spin and Raygun magazines, with cover stories on David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, the Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson and many others, and has written for Playboy and Rolling Stone as well.

Looking at his own life as a father to one son and two stepsons, he hopes “The Deer Camp” shows the importance of “giving kids a chance to develop their own relationship to the earth.” He recently took his 19-year-old son to the deer camp and watched him break his attachment to electronic screens and develop a passion for working with the earth as well — a key sign that he has managed to guide his own family in a healthier fashion than his father had.

“One of the reasons I wrote this book is that this basic family dynamic has to change,” says Kuipers.

“Nobody should tolerate this kind of treatment. And young men and women should not be raised believing their lover or partner exists just to soak up all their madness. My father made himself very lonely for a dozen years or so after my mom divorced him, but then he became a much better person, someone who was wonderful to be around. If that stubborn guy could change, probably anybody can.” n Dean Kuipers discusses and signs “The Deer Camp” at 7 p.m. Friday at Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena.

‘ASBURY PARK: RIOT, REDEMPTION, ROCK N ROLL’ FEATURES BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, STEVEN VAN ZANDT, SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY AND OTHERS ON THE GRITTY CITY’S INFLUENTIAL MUSIC

ruce Springsteen almost single-handedly emblazoned Asbury Park on America’s musical map. But while Asbury Park may translate as “Springsteen country” in the minds of pop fans, the Boss was drawing from his hometown’s musical heritage and history when forging his sound, as he readily explains in the documentary “Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock N Roll.”

“We took a little bit from here, a little bit from there, a little bit from soul, a little bit from pop, a little bit from the sound on the west side of the tracks,” Springsteen says. “And we kinda combined it all into the sound that this town, this little part of the Jersey Shore became known for.”

Much of that combining occurred at the Upstage, the after-hours club where blues, folk, funk, gospel, jazz, R&B, rock and soul artists from across the racially segmented town experimented with different styles; their democratic spirit animates the film. As Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt and Southside Johnny Lyon explain onscreen, the Upstage is where they started to find themselves as musicians, just as Asbury Park was on the verge of losing itself.

Relying on 76 interviews, previously unpublished photos and vintage video footage, the documentary presents the Atlantic-hugging enclave as a

musical and sociopolitical microcosm of America. Founded in 1871 by a religious cannon brush manufacturer and segregationist, Asbury Park became a seaside playground and was legally segregated into the early 1950s; African American, Italian and Jewish residents were unwelcome in white neighborhoods east of the tracks.

But nightclubs clustered along the predominantly African-American westside’s vibrant Springwood Avenue attracted people from everywhere, becoming a midcentury jazz mecca for musicians seeking gigs en route to New York, including blues and jazz greats like Louis Armstrong, Kenny Burrell, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Lightnin’ Hopkins, B.B. King, and Jimmy Smith.

A variety of live music could be heard in clubs, hotels, bars, ballrooms and restaurants within the town’s one-square-mile limits.

By 1968, it was home to 73 venues hosting bar bands, crooners, and headliners like Ray Charles, the Doors and the Rolling Stones.

Larger-than-life beautician Tom Potter opened the Upstage on Cookman Avenue, adorning its black walls with psychedelic Day-Glo paint, installing a wall of speakers behind the stage, and insisting on creative originality. “A Liverpool of America,” per bassist Gerry Carboy, a “sanctuary for the freaks,” per Van Zandt, the after-hours club was dedicated to

music and young people; musicians, including teenagers, could jam until five in the morning in front of a packed house. It’s where Springsteen would wrap sets with lengthy jams on Ten Years After’s “I’m Going Home,” and where he checked out Garry Tallent, Ernest “Boom” Carter, Clarence Clemons, Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez and David Sancious before inviting them to join his new E Street Band. He eventually composed songs for his first album, “Greetings From Asbury Park,” in the back of a beauty salon next door.

Sancious recalls other club owners demanding a Top 40 “jukebox situation” for tourist patrons, but the charismatic Springsteen insisted on performing his original material. That alone made him inspirational in the Jersey Shore bar band scene for decades.

“We lead with our musicianship,” Sancious says. “That’s where the power was, in the expression itself.”

In a phone interview, director Tom Jones, a Malibu resident who grew up just north of Asbury Park, recounts traveling back East to climb “the endless flight of stairs” to the Upstage’s longshuttered space above a Thom McAn’s shoe store.

“It was [still] 1970. The stage was there, the Day-Glo paint was still on the walls, ‘Steel Mill rules’ was still gauged into the wall — that was the name of Bruce’s band –CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

‘FIXERS OF BROKEN THINGS’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 back then. Literally, four decades hadn’t happened. So we dug in to do a story about that,” Jones explains.

“But the more I learned, the more I got interested in the riot and the history of the town, which was split by the railroad tracks, with the haves on one side, the have-nots on the other. It’s kind of a metaphor for what’s going on now; music is a connector — it brings together [what’s] being torn asunder.”

When Jones initially pitched a reel of the film to Springsteen’s management, they declined to be involved, so he shelved it. He didn’t retrieve it until the Asbury Park Music and Film Festival asked to see clips, a decade later; that reawakened his interest in Asbury Park’s 1970 riot. He reshaped the film as “a broader story” around that cataclysmic event, a weeklong explosion of long-simmering racial tensions that permanently destroyed 75 percent of the businesses on Springwood Avenue.

But it was still a film about Asbury Park lacking input from its favorite son — until Jones recut the film for the 2017 festival (for which he’s now a board member), and Springsteen saw it. He promptly asked to participate, so Jones “threw out the whole film and started again.”

Performance footage from a sold-out 2017 concert at the Paramount Theater shows 11-year-old students from the progressive Lakehouse Music Academy holding their own onstage alongside a house band of joyfully reunited Upstage veterans backing Van Zandt, Lyon, and Springsteen; those scenes are more meaningful framed by the town’s painful local history. While its beleaguered westside still needs rehabilitation, artists and civic boosters are striving to rebuild Asbury Park using live music as a binding agent of community. It’s hopeful validation of music’s value, and Springsteen’s onscreen observation that “local bands remain important, because it’s a huge part of the thing that threads people together. … Everybody’s broken, so we are the fixers of broken things.” n “Asbury Park: Riot Redemption Rock N Roll” screens Wednesday, May 22, at Laemmle Playhouse 7 (673 E.

Since then, the pair has been joined by Zakk Cormier (guitar, Acadian foot percussion), who backed the duo in its earlier show and is now an official member.

The group brings together Old and New World influences, blending them into a cohesive sound. The Halifax, Nova Scotia-based trio mixes Cape Breton, Acadian and Scottish traditions, and takes them beyond their normal musical boundaries. They offer a sometimes playful, often poignant and always passionate live performance, producing a driving Celtic sound.

The threesome has been nominated for several roots-music awards over the last couple of years. Their latest album is “South Haven.”

MAESTRA RACHAEL WORBY AND MUSE/IQUE CAPTURE THE MAGIC OF SONGS AND SPACE WITH ‘SWINGING/STARS’ AT CALTECH

PHOTO: Ben Gibbs

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI For the past eight years, Rachael Worby has been producing some of the most innovative symphonic music programs in the nation as the founding member and artistic director of MUSE/IQUE. The acclaimed conductor of the Pasadenabased “counter-conventional orchestra” blends traditional classical compositions and performers with innovative elements of jazz and dance to create shows that draw fans from across generational lines.

Worby will be leading her artistic ensemble through the latest in their “Uncorked” series of shows in which they perform in unusual public settings.

On June 16 at Caltech’s Millikan Pond is “Swinging/Stars,” and its twin themes of music and space should provide plenty of magic leading into yet another summer series of shows at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino.

“Music and space are the twin realms of human imagination, and, incredibly, they both serve as the repository and the wellspring of our dreams,” says Worby. “They are both spectacular representations of mathematics and physics, and yet they both have spiritual meaning that defies any scientific explanation.

“From the beginning of humanity, as we have sought to understand the universe, we have intertwined the explora20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.16.19

tion of songs and space,” she adds. “For all these reasons, and because Pasadena is a leading community in both arenas, we thought it would be thrilling to explore with our audiences the intersection of art and the stars. ‘Swinging Stars’ concludes the 2018-2019 Uncorked series, and we kick off the summer series on July 6, where we will explore the interplay of movement, images and music.”

The “Swinging/Stars” show will feature space-themed classics including Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” and even children’s favorites like “When You Wish Upon a Star.” They’ll be performing them with an eclectic array of guest artists including pianist extraordinaire Alan Steinberger, inspired bassist Michael Valerio, percussion prince Ted Atkatz and guitar virtuoso Lawrence Juber as well as the ARORA Acapella Group.

Worby expressed particular excitement over the participation of Juber, as he will be spotlighted performing a medley of Beatles songs about the sun.

But providing a more substantial element to the evening is Dr. Michael Watkins, the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and formerly mission manager for the Curiosity Mars Rover mission.

“He will be sharing with our audience the unbelievable wonders of space

exploration and reminding us that the worldwide headquarters for pioneering the great beyond just happens to be right here in our own backyard,” notes Worby.

Looking ahead, MUSE/IQUE’s summer season will be themed around the idea of “music in motion,” with a show called “Moving/Pictures” that celebrates America’s greatest film scores and composers on July 6, “Train/Glory” showcasing trains as mechanical muses on Aug. 3, and “Band/Together” deconstructing the modern day process of scoring film music on Aug. 24. All three shows will be at the Huntington, providing a spectacular scenic backdrop for the shows and a great place to picnic in the hours leading up to performances.

The summer’s special guests include Joshua Henry, the Tony-nominated star of “Carousel,” singing in the “Moving/ Pictures” show; Liv Redpath, one of the most promising young soprano leggero singers on the opera and concert circuit today, in “Train/Glory”; and the piano duet of Anderson and Roe and four dancers from American Ballet Theatre in “Band/Together.” n MUSE/IQUE will perform “Swinging/Stars” on June 16 at 7 p.m. at the Millikan Pond at Caltech, 1200 E.

LAEMMLE’S PLAYHOUSE 7 673 E Colorado Bl, (626) 844-6500.

N

ine years ago in 2010, Molly and John Chester were living in a cramped apartment in Santa Monica. Molly was a private chef who specialized in filming how to make healthy recipes for a food blog, while John was a cameraman who specialized in environmental documentary shoots.

They were forced into making a complete lifestyle change when they adopted a rescue dog named Todd from an animal shelter and the canine wouldn’t stop barking loudly whenever they left him alone at home. With Molly having dreamed her entire life of owning a farm, they put the word out among their friends and family in search of investors who could help them buy a 200-acre plot of land and transform it into an eco-friendly, bio-diverse farm that would stand in stark contrast to the impersonal and industrialized “factory farms” that dominate today’s agricultural industry.

The couple has improbably succeeded in turning a big chunk of dried out wasteland into a veritable Garden of Eden whose beauty is stunning to behold.

Even more improbably, they managed to painstakingly film that transformation, along with the dramatic struggles they faced and overcame along the way, and have turned it into the new documentary “The Biggest Little Farm.”

“Biggest” opens starkly with the grave threat of Ventura County wildfires looming over the horizon of the farm as John and Molly pack their most prized possessions and ensure their hundreds of animals are safely evacuated as well. From that cliffhanger opening, in which we’re left to wonder if their farm survives or burned down for naught, the film takes us to their former lives in Santa Monica and the dramatic decision to start anew amid the great outdoors.

They manage to secure major yet unspecified funding and embark on the adventure of a lifetime, relying on a natural-farming expert named Allan to show them the way to bringing the dead soil to life.

He impresses on them the importance of trusting nature to solve all the problems if they rely on other forms of nature to do the work.

Their goal is to turn their Apricot Lane Farm into a “fruit basket,” growing over 70 forms of fruits and vegetables for sale in addition to allowing chickens and other animals to thrive in a free-range setting that in turn spurs rapid-fire sales of their eggs in local markets. Yet for every victory they make while learning how to raise pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, horses, Guinea hens and more, they also have to contend with wild coyotes attacking their chicken pens and the vagaries of dealing with the wild side of nature, where bugs and birds render thousands of fruits at a time worthless through their pecking.

They are helped along the way not only by Allan and a pair of experienced Latino men who have worked on the farm for decades before the Chesters, but by an idealistic crew of twentysomethings who come from around the globe to have a meaningful job that can make them one with nature. As they manage to make their land thrive in utterly gorgeous fashion over the course of eight years, John Chester and his crew find astonishingly beautiful and detailed examples of how the natural ecosystem is constantly adapting and replenishing itself amid floods, droughts and massive windstorms, always returning to a balanced success.

It’s nothing short of miraculous that Chester and his incredible crew managed to film all of these highly detailed changes while facing the challenges of actually running the farm and learning to make it thrive from nothing. This is a film that spotlights not only the rewards of hard work but also the all too forgotten meaning of respecting the wonders of creation both on the ground, beneath the soil and in the gorgeous night skies above.

Best of all, “Farm” teaches audiences all of these things while completely avoiding any heavy-handed, politicized speeches that could divide or even turn off potential viewers. It’s a deeply humane and simple story first, one that doesn’t explicitly mention God either, yet is so beautiful it’s impossible to not thank the divine for supplying its inspiration. n

NOTICE OF DIVIDED PUBLICATION Made pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3381 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) Sections 3381 through 3385, the Notice of Power to Sell Tax-Defaulted Property Subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell in and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, has been divided and distributed to various newspapers of general circulation published in the County. A portion of the list appears in each of such newspapers.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Made pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361

Notice is hereby given that the following parcels listed will become Subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell on Monday, July 1, 2019, at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, by operation of law. The real property taxes and assessments on the parcels listed will have been defaulted five or more years, except for:

1. Nonresidential commercial parcels, as defined in R&TC Section 3691, which will have been defaulted for three or more years;

2. Parcels on which a nuisance abatement lien have been recorded, which will have been defaulted for three or

more years;

3. Parcels that can serve the public benefit and a request has been made by the County of Los Angeles, a city within the County of Los Angeles, or nonprofit organization to purchase the parcels through Chapter 8 Agreement Sales pursuant to R&TC Section 3692.4, which will have been defaulted for three or more years.

The Tax Collector will record a Notice of Power to Sell unless the property taxes are paid in full or the property owner initiates an installment plan of redemption, as provided by law, prior to 5:00 p.m.

Pacific Time, on Friday, June 28, 2019, when the right to initiate an installment plan terminates. Thereafter, the only option to prevent the sale of the property at public auction is to pay the taxes in full.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming Subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell, but it terminates at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, on the last business day before the scheduled auction of the property by the Tax Collector.

The Treasurer and Tax Collector’s Office will furnish, upon request, information concerning making a payment in full or initiating an installment plan of redemption. For more information, please visit our website at ttc.lacounty.gov.

The amount to redeem the property, in United States dollars and cents, is set forth in the listing opposite each parcel number. This amount includes all defaulted taxes, penalties, and fees that have accrued from the date of tax-default to the date of Friday, June 28, 2019.

I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct. Dated this 26 day of March, 2019.
