HEALTHY STUDENTS/BETTER LEARNERS On May 8, United Teachers of Pasadena recognized PUSD’s school nurses by celebrating National School Nurse Day as a way to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting.

The theme this year was “School Nurses: Making the Grade on School Health.”

Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to recognize school nurses. National School Nurse Day was established to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting.

Today’s children face more chronic illnesses (e.g. asthma, diabetes, food allergies, mental health, etc.) than ever before, and school nurses take their role as a licensed, professional school nurse very seriously. School nurses in PUSD take on a variety of roles every day. For many children, they are the only health professional they may have access to, except in emergencies.

This becomes even more important as the prevalence of chronic social, emotional and other health problems keep increasing.

Did you know that there are only 10 school nurses across the district? That means other school professionals and school administrators, with no medical training, must sometimes step in and provide some level of care.

Healthier students are better learners. Evidence-based research in fields ranging from neuroscience and child development to epidemiology and public health support this argument.

Our elected officials must invest in programs and services that seek to improve the health and well-being outcomes of all children. As the superintendent and the school board make funding decisions for next school year, I hope their budget reflects the

right priorities — ensuring our children have a successful, productive and healthy future. ~ ALVIN NASH PRESIDENT UNITED TEACHERS OF PASADENA

HAUNTING MEMORIES Forty nine years ago on May 4, 1970 four students were gunned down on the commons of Kent State University. I was a student on campus that day, a young sophomore who wanted nothing more than to get my degree. But suddenly I found myself caught in the maelstrom which became known as the Kent State Massacre.

Those four students — Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Lee Scheuer and William Knox Schroeder — were not murdered at the hands of an angry, hate- filled, disgruntled student or a veteran suffering from PTSD, but at the hands of Ohio National Guardsmen, some who weren’t much older than the students who were gunned down.

To this day I thank God that my life was spared. An unseen

hand had guided me to my music class in the speech and hearing building. But make no mistake: I was forever emotionally scarred by the tragedy.

In the months that followed I was plagued by anxiety, guilt, nightmares and agoraphobia. A budding civil rights activist at the time, I wanted to speak out but was silenced by my parents who feared retaliation from bigots in my hometown who looked upon the murdered students as instigators and hippies who deserved what they got.

Looking back at the chaos that ensued, I wonder if Kent State was a bad omen, a portent of future shootings that occur so routinely today in churches, synagogues, schools and workplaces. Was some door to Hades unlocked by that senseless shooting?

Today I still carry wounds from that massacre on the commons of Kent State. Every time I hear of another mass shooting, memories are triggered and I find myself thrust back in time — a young student whose innocence was forever lost.

Young people today who have witnessed a mass shooting — students at Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkvale, University of North Carolina, and now STEM School Highlands Ranch — will have to figure out how to navigate through their trauma and heal their psychological wounds. How do they cope with the reckoning that they live in a dangerous world and their parents, families, teachers and the police cannot protect them? Some will get counseling. They will go to memorial services. They will send cards and flowers to the injured. But they will live with their scars forever.

I’ve spent a lifetime trying to come to terms with the tragedy at Kent State. Every time an innocent life is gunned down in the streets of America, I am reminded that our country is at war with itself.

Our children are sacrificial lambs in our preoccupation with guns. Each one of us has to figure out how to heal from our wounds. Prayer and trust in a higher power helps, but ultimately our healing will depend on what we do to bring about a world of peace. ~ HAZEL CLAYTON HARRISON 05.23.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 5

POLITICAL INSECURITY

GOP LAWMAKERS ARE WORKING HARD TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY

T

he Social Security Act guarantees a monthly monetary benefit to eligible retirees and breadwinners, deceased spouses, people with disabilities, and others. Today, the Social Security program provides monthly benefits to more than 50 million people.

Briefly, the nation’s single-payer health insurance program is Medicare, for people 65 and older; the Social Security and Medicare programs are administered by the federal government. Medicare allows enrollment in private companies. According to a 2018 Reuter’s News Service survey, 70 percent of Americans approve of MedicareFor-All. The complexities of both programs are many, and cannot be covered in this article alone. But understand this: any cuts affecting earned benefits undermine and endanger the general welfare of the nation because they would lead to a more impoverished and sicker population by putting millions of Americans at greater risk.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and some partisan backers want deeper cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid after implementing a $1.5 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and approving a $675 billion budget for the Department of Defense. The losses incurred by these expenditures have created a record high federal deficit, which has reportedly increased by 77 percent since 2015 under McConnell’s watch. Social Security did not create this problem; McConnell and his cohorts did.

Congressman Tim Ryan, a Democrat from Ohio, reminds us, “When Republicans in Congress said their tax cuts to wealthy multinational corporations would pay for themselves, they lied,” he wrote on Twitter. “Now, they’re going to try to come for hardworking people to foot the bill by slashing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We can’t let them.”

Almost 90 percent of families with low incomes depend on Social Security benefits, while families with high incomes receive about 10 percent of their money from the fund, according to investmentnews.com.

It is estimated that 30 million Americans have no health insurance at all, but even those who do are at the mercy of insurance company approval.

The number one cause of bankruptcy in America is medical costs. More people would die with proposed Medicare and Medicaid cuts. The average disabled worker receives a mere monthly payout of $1,197, hardly enough to rent a one-bedroom apartment in California, yet Republican US Sen. Marco Rubio touts, “The driver of our debt is the structure of Social Security and Medicare for future beneficiaries,” according to The New York Times. Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, states the GOP position is underlying problem. Here are a few examples of what they propose: • Cutting Social Security’s Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) • Raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 • Increasing the Social Security retirement age Democrats support Social Security ACT 2100, recently introduced in the House

by Ways and Means Subcommittee member Representative John B. Larson, the bill’s principal author and a Democrat from Connecticut. It would be the first major expansion since 1972. Here are some examples of what the bill contains: • Across-the-board increases equal to about 2 percent of the average Social Security benefit • No tax on earnings from $132,900 to $400,000 • “Fixes” Social Security for 75 years, but keeps the system permanently solvent • Increases payroll taxes on workers • Cuts federal income tax for about 12 million middle-income people but raises other taxes Richtman states, “Social Security has a $2.89 trillion surplus and is able to pay full benefits through 2034. One reason behind the funding gap projected to begin in 2034 is that millionaires are exempt from paying their fair share into Social Security.”

Eliminating the Payroll Tax Cap would require millionaires to contribute the same percentage of their income as everyone else and would go a long way to shore up Social Security’s long-term finances.

When you vote, remember to protect your earned benefits and the Social Security system. You will be voting in your own best interest now and for future generations.

SEEKING SOLUTIONS COUNCIL AWARDS SAN FRAN FIRM A HALF-MILLION DOLLARS TO DESIGN SUICIDE BARRIER ON COLORADO STREET BRIDGE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

T

he Pasadena City Council unanimously agreed on Monday to enter into a contract for “suicide mitigation enhancements” on the Colorado Street Bridge.

According to a staff report, the San Francisco-based architectural firm Donald McDonald will design a vertical barrier on the iconic bridge for under $550,000.

“Donald MacDonaId, founding principal architect of the firm has worked on several well-known bridges that implemented mitigation efforts such as the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge in Charleston, (South Carolina), and Ironworkers Memorial Bridge in Vancouver, (British Columbia),” according to the staff report.

Members of the firm came before the council’s Public Safety Committee in April. At that meeting, PSC members instructed staff to streamline the project’s design and scope of work. Local officials have been searching for ways to prevent jumpers while preserving the historic bridge’s treasured aesthetics.

The project presented to the council on Monday, May 20, costs $200,000 less than the original projection and cuts 10 months off the projected timeline for building a suicide deterrent system.

Time to Act More than 150 people have jumped from the 106-year-old bridge since the Great Depression, according to city officials, with more than 30 of those deaths reported since 2006. Most of those jumps occurred from the alcoves along the bridge’s walkways, where access over the existing metal railings is easier.

In April, a passerby found the body of a man beneath the bridge. His shoes were located on top of the structure. So far, he is the only known jumper this year.

Three people jumped from the bridge in 2018, and eight people fell to their deaths in 2017.

Later that year, temporary suicide-prevention fencing was placed in the bridge’s alcoves. In September 2018, the situation

Pasadena Police Chief John Perez told the Pasadena Weekly he hopes to quickly release bodyworn camera footage of an officer-involved shooting last Friday that left one man dead.

The incident began shortly after 6:30 p.m. after police responded to calls of a man with a gun on Glen Avenue near Howard Street. When police arrived, Daniel Warren, 36, yelled at the officers and pointed a rifle at them.

Police opened fire and Warren retreated behind a house where he was later found dead from a gunshot wound. Law enforcement officials were at first unsure if Warren was killed by police gunfire or committed suicide.

On Monday, coroner officials determined Warren was fatally shot by police.

Investigators recovered a rifle with a large capacity drum style magazine and a handgun nearby. According to sheriff’s deputies, Warren fired at least one round before retreating.

“The body-worn camera footage will go out to the public at some point,” said Perez.

“But there is a process to that. I hope to get it out soon, and at some point we will release the names of the officers that were at the scene.”

Warren was arrested on March 23 after holding officers at bay for more than two hours in the city’s Playhouse District when he refused to come out of his car.In that incident, police were called to Oak Knoll Avenue at East Colorado Boulevard at 10:09 a.m. after a caller reported a man littered and urinated on the property, according to Pasadena Now. After officers arrived they found Warren and a woman sitting in a car inside the parking structure at an apartment complex.

Things intensified after police discovered there was a warrant for Warren’s arrest for an assault charge. An armored vehicle was called to the scene, and Warren was taken into custody without incident.

He was scheduled to appear in court this Thursday, May 23, on assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery causing serious bodily injury, according to court records.

Warren was arrested again by Pasadena police on May 9 on suspicion of committing battery on a peace officer. He was scheduled to be arraigned in that case on June 3.

“I am very supportive of the officers and the difficult decision they had to make,” said Perez.

“I am in support of them and I hope the community is supportive of us going forward.”

SEEKING SOLUTIONS

took on added urgency after police spent 13 hours successfully talking a jumper down during Labor Day weekend.

After that encounter, City Manager Steve Mermell exercised his authority to make an emergency purchase and spent $295,932 on fencing to span both sides of the 1,400-foot-long bridge.

“We can’t wait for another year while we grind our way through the approval process and funding process. We need to do something,” Mermell said at the time. “It’s an emergency and we need to intervene right now.”

TRAINERS FORCED TO PUT DOWN TWO MORE HORSES AT SANTA ANITA, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 25 Despite implementation of several new safety measures, two more horses suffered injuries at Santa Anita Park racetrack and were euthanized, one on Friday, the other on Monday.

On Sunday Spectacular Music suffered an injury to his pelvis during his debut event at the track and was euthanized the following day.

On Friday, Commander Coli was euthanized shortly after he suffered a shoulder injury during training, according to the Los Angeles Times. The horse’s trainer was asked to vacate the stalls after the incident. No official reason was given for the request by track officials.

Since Dec. 26, 25 horses have been euthanized following injuries suffered at the track. The track closed after the 21st horse died in March and put new safety protocols in place, including banning race day medication, increasing transparency of veterinary records, further regulating approval for workouts, and increasing reviews of the track’s surface.

“Santa Anita’s new rules have slowed the bloodbath, and now the track is banning trainers whose actions lead to horses’ deaths — including the trainer for Commander Coil, who died on Friday,” said PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. “But two dead horses in three days proves that more must be done to end the training and veterinary practices that lead to broken bones.”

The track had gone through almost 7,000 timed workouts and race starts without a problem before the latest incidents, according to the Times.

Some experts believe the injuries have been caused by an extra hard track created by track officials in response to this year’s above average rainfall.

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

The area experienced light rain both Saturday and Sunday, but it was not immediately known what impact that had on the track.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney opened an investigation into 22 of the deaths last month. n

THE FINAL WORD

SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO HEAR CASE ON WHAT ARE NOW NORTON SIMON’S “ADAM” AND “EVE” PAINTINGS

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Norton Simon Museum will retain two multimilliondollar paintings lost to Nazis during World War II now Marei Von Saher that the US Supreme Court has declined to consider a lower court ruling allowing the Pasadena museum to keep the classic art.

Jewish art collector Jacques Goudstikker was forced to sell his 1,200piece collection — including “Adam” and “Eve” by Lucas Cranach the Elder in 1530 — to the Germans at heavily reduced prices in 1940 before fleeing to the Netherlands after the Nazis invaded.

“We are pleased that the US Supreme Court denied plaintiff’s petition for review and finally put an end to this lawsuit,” said museum officials in a statement. “The unanimous decision of the Ninth Circuit is now final, confirming that the Norton Simon Art Foundation has proper title to these paintings. We look forward to continuing to display them to the public, as we have for nearly 50 years.’’

Goudstikker’s heir Marei Von Saher has waged a long court battle to get the paintings back. In 2006, the Dutch courts awarded her restitution of 202 paintings, but not those two.

The Norton Simon Foundation has argued that the title to the works passed out of Goudstikker’s family when the Dutch government restituted them in 1966 to George Stroganoff-Sherbatoff, an exiled Russian aristocrat who had laid claim to them. Stroganoff-Sherbatoff in turn sold the paintings to the American collector Norton Simon in 1971. The paintings have been appraised at around $24 million.

In 2007, federal proceedings in the US began, but the plaintiffs were hampered by a major stumbling block: Family members did not act in time to get the artwork back.

The Ninth Circuit ruled against Von Saher in August. In the court’s opinion, Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote that in order for Von Saher to recover the set of works the court would have to invalidate an official act of the Dutch government which set a 1951 deadline for claimants to file for restoration of rights to works recovered after World War II. Ruling on the Dutch post-war restitution system “would require making sensitive political judgments that would undermine international comity,” wrote the judge. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.23.19

Dark History In 1921, the then-eight-year-old bridge was prominently featured in the Charlie Chaplin film “The Kid.” In the movie, Chaplin’s famous Tramp character successfully saves a young woman before she could jump to her death from the bridge.

Soon after the film screened, people jumping off the bridge became something of a common occurrence. During the Great Depression, which began in October 1929 after the stock market crash devastated the nation’s economy and left millions out of work, 79 people jumped from the bridge.

The Depression formally ended in 1939, and it was during that period people began calling the 100-foot-tall structure “Suicide Bridge,” a grim moniker scorned by city officials throughout the decades.

Temporary fencing was first installed after 12 people jumped to their death in 2015 and 2016.

One of those occurred in late October 2015, when police spent seven hours attempting to talk 40-year-old actor Sam Sarpong out of jumping.

Sarpong had gained fame as a model and appeared in the TV shows “My So-Called Life,” “Veronica Mars,” “Everybody Hates Chris” and “24.” Prior to his death, he completed filming in an episode of “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson.” But in spite of all the talking, he still jumped.

Making an Impact The increase in jumpers, coupled with concerns for public safety after the city approved a Habitat for Humanity housing project underneath a portion of the bridge’s south side, forced officials to erect 10-foot tall, one-inch thick mesh fencing blocking access to 20 alcoves on both sides of the historic bridge. People had used the alcoves to climb off the bridge and onto the ledge.

Local residents have called on the City Council to reconsider placing a restroom and a playground in the Desiderio Neighborhood Park, located next to a nine-unit Habitat for Humanity housing development of the same name that opened two years ago a short distance from the base of the

bridge. Owners of the newly built homes fear that a jumper could possibly hit and injure someone living below.

The housing project and park occupies the former Desiderio Army Reserve Center, declared surplus property by the Army and recommended for closure in 2005. After public hearings, city officials decided to convert portions of the property into affordable housing and a neighborhood park.

“I think the fencing has definitely deterred people,” said Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian. “We have had a few situations since the fencing went up where first responders had to talk people down from the bridge. It’s made an impact, and the permanent barrier continues to do so.”

After several public meetings, the Colorado Street Bridge Task Force concluded that vertical barriers and fencing at the ends are the only deterrent measures that physically prevent suicide attempts from occurring. The task force is made up of preservationists, engineers and first responders.

Vertical barriers are also considered cost efficient because of the one-time construction fee, and require little ongoing costs.

According to the recommendation, barriers will also lessen the strain on first responders.

Saving Lives According to Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman, vice president of research at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, barriers are successful deterrents.

“There are quite a few studies that show building barriers can save considerable numbers of lives, and people don’t just go to another location,” Harkavy-Friedman said in an interview with the USC School of Social Work.

According to Harkavy-Friedman, suicide rates decline by 30 to 50 percent when the availability of highly lethal and commonly used suicide methods are restricted. And those people whose efforts are hampered by a bridge barrier usually do not just drive to another bridge.

“If you limit access, then the crisis will pass,” Harkavy-Friedman said.

Most people who are considering suicide are just trying to end the pain they feel in that moment.

Restricting access to lethal means give a person a temporary reprieve that allows them to move out of the crisis and allows them a chance to seek help as their decision-making ability recovers.

Meanwhile, research has not shown a correlation between merely posting suicideprevention signs, as had been done previously, and lower suicide rates. n

THE LIFE OF REILLY

AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, JOHN C. REILLY FINDS THEATER GOLD AT THE PASADENA PLAYHOUSE FOR A MONTH-LONG RUN OF ‘GATHER’

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI ver since his breakthrough role as the soft-spoken and sensitive Officer Jim Kurring 20 years ago in the 1999 classic film “Magnolia,” John C. Reilly has managed to earn a soft spot in moviegoers’ hearts with dozens of roles as lovable losers and everymen. He’s managed to do this with surprising range as well, scoring an Oscar nomination for his turn as the cuckolded Amos Hart in the musical “Chicago” and playing the fool with Will Ferrell in a trio of outrageous comedies including the sublimely stupid “Step Brothers.”

E

The longtime Altadena resident, however, has always loved performing live theater most, largely because of the immediacy and intimate connection it allows between performers and their audiences. He will be spotlighting that passion for a month onstage at the Pasadena Playhouse’s Carrie Hamilton Theatre from Friday May 24 through June 22 with “Gather: Surprising Stories and Other Mischief,” alongside a team of other veteran actors who come together to act out a colorful array of stories for all ages.

05.23.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

THE LIFE OF REILLY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

“It’s a theater form called story theater, originally created by Paul Sills, who started [legendary Chicago comedy theater] Second City,” explains Reilly. “The actors tell the story as narrators at the same time they portray the characters.

So I and other actors will be doing narration, jump into dialogue and then back to narration, as a group of people take the stories on.

“It’s really fun, because you create objects out of nothing, a lot like improv,” Reilly continues. “It’s gone on to spawn so many types of theater, the sort of theater that uses imagination more than technical effects. It’s a human-based theater art.”

The show’s selections include Grimm’s Fairy Tales, classic old folk tales and other family-friendly scenes — all of which are organized and edited by Reilly with his longtime artistic collaborator Patrick Murphy, who was his first acting teacher in college. The pair had been discussing teaming up for a story theater project nearly ever since, and Reilly believes that it will prove to be a powerful experience for audiences.

“The Playhouse was generous to give us this, because in this time of bad news what else can we as human beings do but come together regardless of beliefs, and tell stories to each other?” asks Reilly. “And we’ll sing some songs because the stories are interspersed with us singing old songs you might remember.

You’ll have some soul nourishment, some humor and some old-fashioned theater magic.

“It’s a really intimate space, with 99 seats, and we weave this kind of dream and tell nine or 10 different stories,” he adds. “It’s really a show for young people and old, age group 8 to 800. It’s family friendly because some stories are darker than others, so we’re thinking of adding matinees to tone down the scary bits even more for really little kids.”

Reilly credits Playhouse Artistic Director Danny Feldman with thinking outside the box on “Gather,” building upon innovative programming that has restored smash-hit status to the sometimes-struggling theater since taking over from his longtime predecessor Sheldon Epps in 2017. Along with producing the month-long run of shows, Reilly is discussing bringing an acting studies program back to the theater, which used to count future greats such as Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman among its students.

“The Playhouse is the State Theatre of California, a community theater that brought people together in Pasadena,” says Reilly. “That’s why we called the show ‘Gather,’ because it’s a community-based thing and we share some theater magic. The opening night is my birthday so I can’t think of a better way to celebrate getting older.”

A devout family man, Reilly has been married to his wife, independent film producer Alison Dickey, since 1992 and has two children with her. He grew up in a larger family in Chicago, the fifth of six children born to the owner of an industrial linen supply company business, who was also named John.

He first took the stage at 8 years old, displaying a natural talent that enabled him to train at the Goodman School of Drama before becoming a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre, one of America’s most acclaimed dramatic institutions.

His time at the Steppenwolf included a Tony-nominated run on Broadway when the troupe visited the Great White Way with the classic Sam Shepard play “True West.”

Yet asking him for a favorite genre of acting he’s performed in, and Reilly is sincerely challenged to decide.

“People come up to me every day who don’t say the comedies are their favorites, but say ‘Chicago’ the musical or {the Martin Scorsese historical drama] ‘Gangs of New York,’” he says. “A lot of actors get pigeonholed by audiences wanting them to do the same thing over and over again, but I’m lucky people expected the unexpected from me: funny, sad, scary, sci-fi and everything in between.

“The simple answer is I’m just lucky I guess,” he concludes. “People let me do different things, so I change it up project to project to feed my soul. This project is another example of that. A lot of people have seen my works over the years.

People come see me in films and can come and be in the same room as me and share magical moments together. It’s maybe not the greatest career move but it’s important to me to join me and feel better for a couple hours.” n “Gather: Surprising Stories and Other Mischief” opens at 8 p.m. Friday in the Carrie Hamilton Theatre of the Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S.

As Good as I It Looks CILANTRO LIME 2.0 OFFERS A SO CAL TAKE ON MEXICAN CLASSICS

BY EVELYN GARCIA / PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO

f you have followed my columns you might have picked up on my dislike of restaurants that place a higher value on the photo-worthiness of a dish than its actual flavor. Plating has always been a key component in the world of culinary arts, but the rise of foodie bloggers has turned artful plating into monstrous though colorful concoctions that draw views online but do nothing for the palate.

When I walked into Cilantro Lime 2.0 in Glendale and noticed an entire wall papered in a collage of Instagram photos, my knee-jerk reaction was to run away in fear of experiencing a dining fiasco. Since I had brought along my sister and her two small, hungry children, I shook off my negative disposition and gave it a shot, and I’m glad I did.

What makes Cilantro Lime 2.0 unique is the fact that their menu runs the gamut of every style of Mexican food Southern

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.

Californians have come to expect, and it doesn’t just cater to the Instagram crowd. Traditional plates like enchiladas ($11.99) and chili relleno ($11.99) have a home under “mom’s favorite dishes,” all of which come with rice, beans and chips.

On the other side of the spectrum, they have the “bloggers menu,” which I acknowledge is not as over-the-top as it could be. Under that header are options like “flaming hot Cheetos quesadilla” ($8.99), which is exactly what it sounds like: cheese and hot Cheetos inside a tortilla that is cooked with a halo of crispy cheese edges. You can add a protein for an additional $2. Also cheese-heavy and on the blogger menu are the “let’s go grub” tacos ($4 each), with your choice of meat, pico de gallo and a crispy cheese shell in place of a tortilla.

Cilantro Lime 2.0 has all the Cali-Mexican classics, like asada fries ($12), with melted cheddar cheese, carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream, their secret sauce, guacamole, cilantro, and salsa.

It is a behemoth. All the people in my group just barely managed to take down the whole thing.

What makes Cilantro Lime 2.0’s asada fries special is that they melt the cheddar onto the fries first, which allows the cheese to distribute evenly. But the fun-fry options do not end there. Elote lovers rejoice Cilantro Lime 2.0 is home to the esquite fries ($11.50) with the same cheese/fry base as the asada fries, then topped with elote, mayonnaise, cotija, and of course crumbles of hot Cheetos.

Traditionalists need not worry; an esquites cup is available for $4.

Glendale's Cilantro Lime 2.0 opened in April and is the second incarnation of a restaurant that has gained a cult following at its smaller location in a food court in downtown Los Angeles that opened in 2015. While the DTLA location was just a small walk-up space in a food court alongside other vendors, the Glendale location is a standalone with a full dining room — hence the “2.0” in the name.

The service at this location is fantastic. The crew is helpful, courteous and they know what to suggest so you cannot go wrong.

Cilantro Lime 2.0 owner and Glendale resident

Leo Matias said there are plans to bring more options to the new location over the next few months. He hopes to put more seafood dishes like ceviche on the menu and is currently working on an alcohol license, because what else would you want to pair with asada fries than a beer? In my chat with Matias, he revealed the existence of a secret Instagram menu, with items like the cheese shell burrito ($10.25); all the burrito fixings in a blanket of crispy cheese.

In my haste at the counter, I was pointing at pictures on the menu and adding them to my order when one of those choices reminded me of a cross between a sloppy Joe and a torta. It was the pambazo ($10.50), a wet sandwich typically stuffed with chorizo and potatoes, then coated in a red chili enchilada sauce. The telera bread is softer than that of the bolillo bread traditionally used on tortas, but the sandwich is just soft, not soggy. Unbeknownst to me, the Cilantro Lime 2.0 pambazo is served with soyrizo in place of chorizo and is topped with lettuce, sour cream, queso fresco and cilantro. I tricked myself into enjoying a vegetarian option.

Most of the heavy lifting in that feat was done by the chili sauce and textures. Nevertheless, if I had no idea meat wasn’t included, than I would have to count that as a win for the Cilantro Lime 2.0 chefs.

We also tried the taquitos and flautas. Both were crispy and delicious with beef or chicken and drizzled with sour cream and a flavorful avocado sauce. The quesadilla was packed with meat and gooey cheese, and had those crispy edges that everyone loves but there’s never enough of. The salsas range from a mild red, medium green and “cry baby” hot. Honestly, their cry baby salsa did have me sweating and tearing up a bit.

While I was there, several take-out and pickup orders headed out the door so the word is out.

Cilantro Lime 2.0 is every bit of fun and flavor that Instagram makes it seem. The dishes are carefully crafted and taste as good as they look.

From the favorites to the artistic takes on the traditional, Cilantro Lime is serving it up with great customer service too.

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER

ALL SHE NEEDS IS LOVE DYSTHYMIA IS LESS EXTREME AND LESS INTENSE THAN A MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER, ALTHOUGH ITS SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR

Dear Patti, We’re three teenage boys writing about our Grandma Connie. Technically she’s our step grandmother. She’s lived with us ever since our stepdad Rob married our mom five years ago.

Grandma Connie can be hard to deal with. Sometimes she’s a pushy pain in the ass and we can’t stand her. She can be strict and nagging and gets angry about the tiniest things. Even our mom agrees. But we know Grandma Connie loves us. She doesn’t have any other grandchildren. She comes to all our games, helps us with homework, works hard all day, and tries to help us.

Lately Grandma Connie has been in a very dark mood. She’s miserable a lot of the time right now and always seems to be tired. Our mom took her to the doctor recently and they said that she is physically healthy but has something called dysthymia. It’s a kind of depression. The doctor gave her anti-depressant medication and said she should go to psychotherapy.

All three of us feel bad now that we’ve given her such a hard time. She always helps us but we don’t do much for her. How can we help her with her depression?

Whatever we can do, we want to try. She’d do the same for any of us.

— Gabe, Eddie and Arlo Dear Gabe, Eddie and Arlo, How heartwarming to witness all three of you brothers and your wholehearted commitment to your Grandma Connie. That is extremely important as supportive loved ones are an essential key to recovery from depression.

The disorder your grandmother is dealing with is a chronic form of depression.

Dysthymia is less extreme and less intense than a major depressive disorder. Its symptoms, however, are similar. Dysthymia is less debilitating but can last for long periods and, like major depression, can cause individuals to have a downcast mood and loss of energy. Although these are symptoms of a disorder, at times it may be difficult for loved ones not to take these moods personally.

Your grandma may also lose interest in things she used to find pleasurable, have difficulty concentrating, be indecisive or negative, and have a poor opinion of herself right now. Her appetite and weight may have increased or decreased, and she may sleep too much or have trouble sleeping.

People suffering from depression often have an inner voice that is harsh and demands that they be perfectionists. To counteract these negative thoughts, they need empathy, acceptance, respect, and love from their loved ones. Help her to replace this punitive voice with a loving one by not being overly critical and gently reminding her to be warm and kind to herself, as she deserves it.

Listen to her, if you can in a non-judgmental way. If she shares her thoughts and feelings, give your full attention. When she’s in pain and despair, you don’t have to do or say anything special; just be there for her. Offer to help with housecleaning like vacuuming or doing the dishes. Having a dirty or messy home may make her feel more worthless and discouraged. With a clean living space, she’ll have less to worry about.

Encourage her to delegate tasks to the three of you.

The whole family can help support her in maintaining good eating and sleeping habits as these are important components in managing mood stability. Fatigue and hopelessness make it easy to procrastinate, but putting things off will eventually cause anxiety and guilt, which increases depression. Maybe your parents as well as you young men can gently encourage her to follow through on important actions.

Psychodynamic, insight-oriented, or interpersonal psychotherapy can enable her to sort out the feelings that are behind her symptoms and to explore those feelings, no matter how painful. Therapy is also helpful in the treatment of depression as it examines and corrects many of the self-critical thought patterns and views that people with mood disorders typically experience. It’s important that your grandma be encouraged to communicate freely with her therapist. She might also want to join a support group and learn stress reduction techniques.

Since this is a difficult time for you boys, you might consider professional counseling for yourselves. Often through the challenging experience of protecting and nourishing a family member, an even deeper love can develop. 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.

W

ho gets to tell the stories that comprise our shared history?

Who determines what defines a cultural moment? Come to that, who decides what is or is not “ladylike”?

Those questions and more animate Kit Steinkellner’s play “Ladies,” which receives its world premiere at Boston Court Pasadena Friday after being workshopped at the theater’s New Play Festival last year. Per Steinkellner, the title can be interpreted literally, playfully, or primly — and all interpretations are correct.

The play tracks a year in the life of the Blue Stockings Society, a feminist group — arguably the first — created by four women in 1750s London, including wealthy British social reformer and writer Elizabeth Montagu, portrayed onstage by Meghan Andrews.

“Ladies” also resurrects essayist and poet Elizabeth Carter (played

by Carie Kawa); self-educated novelist Fanny Burney (Jully Lee), who counted Jane Austen and Dr. Samuel Johnson among her fans; and Swiss-born neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffman (Tracey A. Leigh), who was one of only two female founding members of London’s Royal Academy of Arts. In pubs at that time, men — and only men — discussed events of the day; the Society relocated and expanded those conversations to include women.

Steinkellner, who also created the acclaimed “Sorry for Your Loss” web series on Facebook Watch, says she first learned of

the Blue Stockings Society 10 years ago while visiting London’s National Portrait Gallery. Inspired by the group’s story as well as its members’ novels, paintings and jewelry, she was unsure how to translate her excitement without sounding “preachy and pedantic.”

The theme was clear: female empowerment, a consistent topic of interest throughout her work. Numerous revisions over several years yielded the stylized piece starting previews Friday, which includes nudity and onstage sex, as well as the playwright — unnamed, and performed by the four actresses. It’s Steinkellner’s witty way of inserting her modern-day voice to reconstruct history without muting the Society’s members.

Her words tumble out in a rush of sparkplug energy as she articulates her efforts to make history “dynamic” and alive in the present.

She says she’s wrestling with “the weight of what it has always been to be a woman in the Western world, and the stress and pressure and disappointment and unfairness of all that. And also the fact that things have gotten better, but things still feel so deeply unfair.

There’s this element of privilege that’s intersectional; being a white, able-bodied, straight woman today, you have a certain amount of privilege that your corollary 300 years ago doesn’t have, but the system still feels broken. … There is a gulf between now and then — a gulf and a strand of hair. We’re so far away from that time, and we’re CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

A WOMAN IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 so very, very close.”

The difference between 18th-century and 21st-century feminists begins with semantics: in the 1750s, “feminism” wasn’t yet a buzzword.

“The word wasn’t even invented until 100 years after, approximately,” Andrews notes.

“So to be a feminist in the mid-18th century wasn’t even really a thing. However, the French Revolution was about to happen, the American Revolution was bubbling, and England had already experienced the Glorious Revolution [of 1688], so revolution was in the vernacular.

And Elizabeth Montagu was the first one to include women in the conversation … encouraging women to take ownership of their work: to put their name on their novels, not to use a male pseudonym on their books, for example, or not to paint only landscapes and selfportraits. They weren’t allowed to paint from life, which is essentially a nude portrait, and the nude portrait was like a calling card for artists; the better your nudes, the better an artist you were. Women were kept away from things that would establish them as capable artists. …

“This is an opportunity to be inspired by what may have possibly been the first feminists.

What do we think happened? What actually happened? What did history record, and most importantly, how does that impact us here and now?”

Director Jessica Kubzansky’s decision to have only women staff the production underscores the theme of female empowerment. Steinkellner says that choice was driven by the goal of seeing “women’s work onstage” and having “women telling a story about women.”

Andrews concurs that it does the play “a great service.”

“That’s not to say that I don’t love working with men — I do,” she says. “But it’s created an environment that is so safe.”

Steinkellner’s currently “in the room” with staff writers for “Sorry for Your Loss”; shooting for its second season begins days after “Ladies” opens. She jokingly calls herself “a real amphibian” because she enjoys hopping between theatre and TV. “I mean, look,” she says, a phrase that punctuates her conversation often. “Unless you’re, like, Lin-Manuel Miranda with ‘Hamilton,’ it’s hard to get as many eyeballs on your play as you will with a TV show, especially a premium streaming show. I don’t believe I’m sacrificing quality at all by making a TV show. I feel so artistically fulfilled. There’s a magic in that. I love working with a bunch of writers and us all having ownership over the show. …

“But I also love being in rehearsal [for ‘Ladies’], the intimacy and immediacy of that. I wouldn’t trade one kind of magic for the other. My playwriting makes my TV writing better, and I think my TV writing makes my playwriting better. You know those exercise classes where they have legs days and arms days? I feel like that with TV writing and playwriting.” n “Ladies” premieres at Boston Court Pasadena, 70 N. Mentor Ave., Pasadena, at 8 p.m. Friday, May 24, and runs through Sunday, June 30; $20-$39.

MAVIS STAPLES, We Get By (Anti): HHHH½

Among Staples’ most potent, cohesive albums, these 11 songs were composed and produced by Ben Harper, an insightfully inspired musical partner.

Backed with formidable finesse by longtime guitarist/ bandleader Rick Holmstrom, drummer Stephen Hodges and bassist Jeff Turmes, the hard-touring gospel/soul icon is in tremendous form, addressing darkness she’s rallied against for six decades in the unusually intimate “Heavy on My Mind”; that and the mortality-acknowledging “Hard to Leave” add grounded dimension to surrounding calls for justice she robustly voices like “Brothers and Sisters,” “Stronger” and “Change.” In today’s American chaos, this is the determined, spirit-boosting music and message — and voice — we need. mavisstaples.com

“T

here’s only a few things that a man like me needs,” the Talbott Brothers sing in sly, inviting harmony on their song “Hey Honey.”

“Jesus, whiskey, and you right next to me.”

One other thing they need: music. Lots of it, preferably homemade. “Hey Honey” is from the Talbott Brothers’ warmly received third album, “Gray,” which has kept them on the road since its release in 2017.

Their backstory resembles that of many an Americana and folk band: Growing up, small town Nebraska natives Nick and Tyler Talbott taught themselves to play along with Johnny Cash and the Beatles on a dreadnought guitar that belonged to their father, who had played in an Eagles cover band.

The personable duo found their groove with the clean-shaven Tyler’s muscular baritone taking the vocal lead while playing rhythm guitar alongside bearded older brother Nick’s more com-

plex fretwork. Eventually they took their acoustic act public at church and coffeehouses, which opened doors to bars and nightclubs; a few years ago, they followed their muse to Portland, Oregon, where they currently reside. Fast forward to the present, and they’ve added mandolin and harmonica to their gig bags, while their tour itinerary also includes wineries, February’s Key West-bound Rock Boat cruise, and Wine & Song in South Pasadena this Wednesday.

More or less on schedule with their biannual release schedule — “Gray” was preceded by 2015’s “Places” and 2013’s “The Road” — the Talbotts recently returned to the studio to work on their next album. Wednesday’s sets will hopefully include one or two new songs like the yearning “Without a Doubt,” sung in the voice of a man conflicted by yearning and regret, along with dynamic standouts from “Gray” such as the blues-tinged “Dead Man Pass” and “Traveler,” an open-hearted

view of troubadour life: “Out here on the road/ So many men with talent, but only few have the soul/ … Maybe I’m no better than the man who pays a dollar for a fix/ And maybe I’m no different than the ones who are running all of this.”

Their storytelling is grounded and scaled to life, and the flowing warmth of their music connects on a visceral level. It’s reductive to compare them to anyone else because the Talbott Brothers have put in enough hours and miles to forge their own musical identity. But if you like, say, the Lumineers, the Steel Wheels, and/or Ray LaMontagne, or if you just savor acoustic intimacy, you could do far worse than heading to South Pasadena Wednesday night. n Wine & Song hosts the Talbott Brothers at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 29, at Arroyo Seco Golf Course, 1055 Lohman Lane, South Pasadena; $20/$14.

Shimmering with harmonies and buoyant hooks, the Westside quartet evokes the 1960s-’70s heyday of Laurel Canyon pop and the Mamas & the Papas, while remaining true to its own time. Anchored by frontman/songwriter Phil Stancil and guitarist sister Laura (whose winning vocal on the countryhazed “Off the Rails” calls for more of same), the Yells deliver psychedelic-dipped pop treats like “Oh My My” and the dreamy “Half Speak” that remind just how refreshing sturdy melodies can be.

SINKANE, Dépaysé (City Slang): HHH

“I’m singing for the day we realize that we all relate,” Sudanese-American frontman Ahmed Gallab exults over synths, horns and harmonies on the title track, named after a French term for disorientation, like you’re in another world. Sudan’s diversity and recent uprisings inspired the rubbery “Ya Sudan”; “Everybody” and “The Searching” unite inclusive convictions with urgent rhythms. Lyrically, it’s more earnest than poetic. Musically, it melds funk, R&B, Afro-pop and dancehall, though less magnetically than 2014’s “Mean Love” or 2017’s “Life Livin’ It,” but slinky grooves are not its raison d’etre. sinkane.com

JIMMIE VAUGHAN, Baby, Please Come Home (Last Music Co.): HHHH

The veteran Texas blues guitarist tosses off tasty note clusters, shuffles and greasy grooves like a master storyteller rubbing words together to audience-charming effect, backed by a horn section that intensifies the flavor of discerning material from the songbags of Richard Berry (“Be My Lovey Dovey” is a savory delight), Fats Domino, Lefty Frizzell, and T-Bone Walker, among others. Vaughan’s in brandy-smooth vocal form, and his playing’s a masterclass on “less is more” from the top of Lloyd Price’s romping title track to the gut-satisfying close of Jimmy Reed’s “Baby, What’s Wrong.” Carry on, sir. jimmievaughan.com

Free Speech and Comedy

LONGTIME MAD MAGAZINE SENIOR EDITOR JOE RAIOLA BRINGS ‘THE JOY OF CENSORSHIP’ TO THE SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI For 33 years Joe Raiola took satirical aim at every imaginable sacred cow as the Senior Editor of MAD magazine.

While he likes to note that he “specialized in making funny noises in the hallway,” he also saw the magazine as an important bastion of free speech ever since it was criticized as dangerously subversive during the 1950s-era McCarthy hearings in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Now retired, Raiola remains active by touring his solo comedy show “The Joy of Censorship” nationwide, including a one-night-only performance next Thursday, May 30, at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. Speaking from his home in New York City, he promises a show that will mix powerful points with hilarious stories and visual samples of some of the most controversial cartoons in the history of “MAD.” “It’s an evening of comedy, a comic performance with elements of standup, storytelling, and theater, and some of it in the guise of a lecture on free speech and comedy,” Raiola explains. “It’s a cool theme to me and I bring a little bit of “MAD” to it and illustrate some pieces that were censored or banned for one reason or another, actually shown on screen.”

Raiola came up with the idea for “Joy” when he was asked by a librarian to present a talk on “MAD” to an audi-

ence of children, since the magazine was the most stolen magazine in the New York Public Library. Raiola was also an actively professional standup comic at the time, so his 40-minute presentation went over so well that he decided to create a show for adult audiences that could dig deeper.

“Libraries are interested in censorship, and I wasn’t aware at the time that ‘MAD’ was almost shut down in the 1950s under McCarthy and it was swept up in all that,” says Raiola, who was invited to bring the show to Sierra Madre by Playhouse staff member Todd McGraw, who helps him with an annual tribute to John Lennon that raises money for the cancer charity Gilda’s Club in New York City. “I put together a show about censorship, comedy and ‘MAD,’ and I never stopped doing it.

“It turned out to be a subject more important to me than I realized,” he continues. “‘MAD’ was the only EC comic that survived, and it revolutionized satire in this country. It’s cool it was born out of fear, repression and censorship, because you can tell the free speech of any society by how healthy its standing against censorship is. We now have a president questioning the legality of ‘Saturday Night Live,’ so it’s time to keep the spotlight on these issues.”

While Raiola has presented ‘Joy’ at countless professional conferences,

public libraries, colleges and regional theaters in 44 states, he has never brought it to Southern California before. He notes some surprising things about the places he has performed at.

“I like doing red states like Mississippi, Utah, Arkansas and Kentucky, where I’m not as likely to have an audience that agrees with some of the things I’m saying,” says Raiola. “I have to piss off liberals too and I have. I’ve run into some places where it didn’t go over so well.

West Virginia said ‘That kind of comedy doesn’t go over here,’ but no one’s killed me yet.

“I don’t use all the foul words myself, but if I’m quoting Samantha Bee on Ivanka Trump, I say the whole word, not ‘the c-word.’ I can use the words in context in a way that most comedians can’t. That makes it interesting. Dick Gregory, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Richard Pryor are my four Mount Rushmore of standups. What do they have in common? No one could tell them what to say and they never apologized. They were fearless, and exposed racism, misogyny, using these words in service to making a real point. “ n Joe Raiola performs “The Joy of Censorship” at 8 p.m. next Thurs., May 30, at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W.

T

here have been plenty of entertaining teen-party films over the years, from John Hughes’ debut classic “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science” through the “American Pie” trilogy and Judd Apatow’s “Superbad.” The new film “Booksmart” tries to put a fresh spin on the genre by making its two lead high school seniors female, but the antics they engage in are alternately timeworn clichés or push-the-envelope raunch, resulting in a movie that will make most viewers worry rather than laugh about the next generation.

The movie follows Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever), lifelong best friends who have spent their entire four years of high school avoiding any semblance of partying or a social life besides each other. On the day before graduation, Molly overhears some classmates saying they wish they could have gotten to know her or have sex with her, and realizes that these classmates have made it into Ivy League schools too, despite the fact they have fully indulged in partying throughout high school.

Furious that she has forced herself to miss out on everything her peers find fun in life, Molly challenges Amy to go to the biggest graduation party of the entire school that night. As they frantically wind up at two wrong addresses — an empty yacht where the richest geek in class tries and fails to throw a bash, and a hilariously bizarre murder mystery party thrown by the theater club — the girls get ever more desperate to get to the real party they have no address for but are watching unfold epically in realtime streaming.

When they finally get to the right place, events escalate in some pretty wild and inventive ways. But the movie also takes its portrayal of teen partying and the sadly PC mindsets of brainwashed millennials to new extremes that might leave viewers wondering how low movies can go.

In the film’s most shocking scene, Amy — who came out as a lesbian two years before but has

Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Fieldstein in Booksmart

never acted on that inclination — winds up having a sexual encounter on the floor of the house party’s bathroom with a girl she just learned is also lesbian.

The scene is portrayed for full sensuality, with slow passionate kisses and sensual music, until Amy is told that she’s doing the position wrong and in her mortification over the mistake, projectile vomits on the other girl. Rest assured, this movie’s determination to make a teen lesbian relationship happen results in the girls exchanging numbers the next day.

It’s true that the films I first mentioned from past eras have glorified teen sex, alcohol and marijuana usage as well. But in the Hughes films, there were lessons to be learned, and ultimately true love and a sense of ethics or morality won out.

The same goes for “Superbad,” in which two teen male nerds try to lose their virginity with girls amid a wild night of partying yet find themselves waking up without female companionship and wind up starting real relationships with girls they truly find interesting.

“Booksmart” had a good idea in flipping the genders on “Superbad” by making its two main protagonists teenage girls and showing their often-discounted points of view. But it largely focuses on shredding the envelope of acceptable behavior.

Most maddening of all is the fact that since “Booksmart” is directed and written by women, it is being sold to impressionable young minds as a strongly feminist movie. Yet when the lead girls’ transformation in the movie is to simply indulge in every base instinct they can find, it’s obvious that the real message here is that empowerment is defined by anything-goes amorality.

The actors throughout “Booksmart” deliver energetic performances that occasionally draw laughs and show promise for future stardom. But aside from the acting and very sporadic flashes of true wit, it’s one movie that viewers would be smart to avoid. n

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 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 or 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.
