FAIR PLAY?

UNCLE JOE

I am one of those people who in the last election voted for Jill Stein. It was that or not to vote at all. No, I don’t feel guilty for Trump either. But it’s the present election I want to discuss.

I won’t tell anyone who to vote for, but here is some information on “Uncle Joe” Biden: I saw two videos of him recently. In Sounds from the one he called young people lazy and lacking in the work ethic, because they can’t get off their couches they are having economic problems. I actually heard him say this.

In the second, made about 14 years ago, he sounds a lot like Trump himself. This was a talk in Arizona he made in which he said he would love to build a fence on our border, that the Mexican government is so corrupt that we can’t treat it like a real democracy, and Mexicans are rushing across the border bringing drugs.

Joe Biden was vice president when the 2014 coup occurred in the Ukraine aided by the US government. He sent aid to the opposition.

When they came to power here is what came with them, the Azov brigade. Heard of them? They are neo-Nazis in every sense of the word and whenever the US sent military aid to the Ukraine, they received a lot of it.

This is the Joe Biden who is the probable Democratic candidate for 2020.

~ ROCHELLE GLICKMAN VIA EMAIL

In the midst of the Trump administration’s battle over what constitutes fair and unfair trade, while tariffs are being batted about by both nations, a speculation has arisen that China may seek to damage (some would even say destroy) the value of US currency by selling off the huge cache of US Treasury bonds it holds.

Large scale selloffs of bonds generally devalue the fiat currency they represent. This poses obvious dangers for China itself as much of the wealth both the Chinese government holds and much of the private wealth held by their citizens in US Treasury bonds. Harming the value of US currency may be satisfying emotionally from the little man perspective of the “One Hundred Years of Humiliation,” but doing so at the long- and short-term expense of one’s own government and citizens is not the act of a responsible world power, but of a petulant child with an unresolved inferiority complex.

There is, however, yet another danger for China that perhaps it has not yet considered.

In 1911 the dynastic government of China fell to a more Western styled Republic led by Sun Yatsen. In 1913, in an effort to begin a program to bring China into the modern world, China floated

a railroad bond internationally.

Soon, China was floating hundreds of bonds for electricity, sewers, water and paved road improvements. When Sun Yatsen died, who would lead China became a unresolved issue and warlords began fighting for control, each claiming to be the government of China and each issuing infrastructure bonds.

Eventually, Chiang Kai-shek consolidated power and became the leader of the generally recognized government of China, as the Japanese Empire invaded and attempted to claim it was the real government of China.

Simultaneously, Mao Zedong and the communists fought against Chiang and the Japanese. During this entire time, Chiang, as leader of the nationalist government, sold war and infrastructure bonds and Chinese municipal governments continued to sell infrastructure bonds. It has been an agreed to principle in international law that successor governments pay the debts of the prior government, even in the case of revolution, but China flatly states, “No, that was THEM. We are not paying.”

At the present time, these debts held by American banks and many citizens are worth $1.5 trillion with continuing compounding interest. This does not include the additional trillions owed to the British, Germans, French, Dutch, Italians, Canadians, Australians, and so on. By abrogating its debt for 73 years, China has gotten a free ride at the expense of the rest of the industrialized world, and has, in effect, re-loaned us our own money. As China attempts to use US Treasury bonds against us in a trade war, what happens if someone in the Treasury says, “Hey, wait a minute, they owe us $1.5 trillion they are not paying. Let’s cancel their serial numbers for the $1.5 trillion they bought and call it partial payment.”

Then what happens when everyone else who owes China money, but who China has never repaid, does the same?

China crumbles.

Turnabout is fair play. ~ STEVE LAMB ALTADENA

BY CATHERINE BAUKNIGHT

ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY

efore discovering the rewards of capitalism, becoming what Christian Science Monitor Editor John Yemma in 2011 described as the “wonder of the age,” communist China was ruled by its leaders with an iron fi st.

Today, aside from recent trade departments with the United States, China has changed dramatically, operating under a long-evolving economic system that promotes free trade but at the same time retains total control over all political power.

Thirty years ago, while this transformation from a system which forbids private ownership to one that encourages individual profit-making was in its nascent stages, poverty and political oppression in China remained pervasive.

Chinese students and citizens, many of whom had tasted some freedom and only wanted more, found themselves targets of ruthless government forces that cracked down hard on their demonstrations for democracy in Tiananmen Square on June 3 and 4, 1989.

On assignment for Sipa Press, a New York City-based photo agency, I arrived in Tiananmen Square less than an hour before soldiers started retaliating against peaceful pro-democracy demonstrators who defied their orders to disband and disperse.

As the deadly drama unfolded, I photographed some of the brutal results of the bloody collision between the forces of freedom and oppression, one of four Western photojournalists documenting the event, according to American Photographer magazine.

For many Americans, the indelible image of the lone protester holding up a flower and stopping a tank in its tracks is the only thing they really know about this massacre. But, as I saw with my own eyes, armed soldiers were an even greater threat to people scrambling to fi nd a safe place to wait out the government’s assault on democracy.

As I recall of those events, literal herds of people at a time would move from one corner of the square to the other as tensions mounted and a voice amplified by a megaphone warned that soldiers had been ordered to shoot to kill.

The students stood fi rm, however, remaining where they were and determined to bring democratic rule to their country. They showed courage and pride, even after being shot, with many dying from their wounds. Even as some were dying, they motioned for me to keep shooting what was happening to them and others all around us.

“For the free world,” many would say to me in hopes that people in other countries would see what was happening and support them. I remained in the square photographing until bullets started ricocheting off the cement under my feet. The images were later distributed throughout the United States by Sipa Press.

In the end, it was difficult to determine exactly how many people had been killed. Estimates vary from several hundreds to up to 2,600, with additional thousands of people wounded.

The anguished faces and terror-fi lled eyes of the young students who were prepared to die for their political beliefs haunt me to this day. To speak out on their behalf, I feel, is not only an honor but a duty to ensure that people never forget what happened on those two days in Tiananmen Square. ■

BILL THAT WOULD MAKE DE-ESCALATION NECESSARY IN POLICE INCIDENTS PASSES ASSEMBLY

PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS BERNIE SANDERS, KAMALA HARRIS, JULIAN CASTRO, JAY INSLEE AND KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND BRING THEIR CAMPAIGNS TO THE CROWN CITY

S

en. Bernie Sanders of Vermont — leading a parade of Democratic presidential hopefuls to Pasadena for a Friday afternoon conference on immigration — came to town with his usual inexhaustible supply of fire and fury in captivating backers with promises of Medicare for all, free college tuition and a host of other progressive, people-driven policy ideas.

The only thing Sanders seemed to lack was an audience, or one the size that’s he’s grown accustomed to drawing since entering the presidential election arena in 2016.

“Bernie is very inspirational, but the size of the crowd was somewhat disappointing,” said Sharon Kyle, who along with her husband Dick Price publishes the online magazine LA Progressive.

Roughly 2,000 people showed up for Sanders’ morning rally at the Pasadena Convention Center, half of what organizers had hoped for.

But, “Aside from that,” Kyle said, “it was a great rally. All of his rallies are great. There is very little on which I don’t agree with him.”

SOUTH PASADENA

Getting Traction Whether it’s due to being one of 23 candidates — including five other US Senators and former Vice President Joe Biden — or because people either agree or not with what he’s saying, Sanders has seen marked reductions in the size of the crowds that venture out to hear him speak.

On Saturday, the same day that the state Democratic Party Convention was being held in San Francisco, Sanders, a self-described Democratic Socialist, drew just more than 2,500 people at Guadalupe River Park in nearby San Jose, thousands less than expected. The previous week, fewer than 200 people attended a Sanders rally at a community college in New Hampshire. On May 25, he drew just 2,500 people in his home state of Vermont, where the campaign expected twice that number. Before Biden jumped into the race, Sanders was drawing large crowds in his early campaign stops.

“Bernie seems to be a candidate all of a sudden trying to figure

A bill aimed at holding police officers accountable when they use deadly force cleared the Assembly last week.

The Assembly voted 67-0 to pass AB 392, the California Act to Save Lives.

According to the bill’s author Assemblywoman Shirley Webber (D-San Diego), officers will be able to use lethal force only when it is “necessary” and if there are no other options.

Police officers would be forced to rely on de-escalation techniques, such as verbal persuasion and crisis intervention methods instead of lethal force.

The bill still allows officers to immediately use deadly force in cases in which they face imminent danger.

The bill also states that imminent harm is not merely a fear of future harm, no matter how great the fear and no matter how great the likelihood of the harm, but instead a situation, from appearances, that must be instantly confronted and addressed.

“Changing the use of force standard in California will change the way officers are trained to pursue other, non-deadly, resources or techniques when engaging with the public. In cities like Seattle and San Francisco, with stricter use of force policies, police kill fewer people without any negative impact on law enforcement or community safety,” the ACLU of Southern California said in a statement issued after the bill passed.

Delaware and Tennessee also require police to use all other alternatives before their gun.

A Washington state law requires police to deescalate if at all possible.

If passed, California would become the only state to combine a “necessary standard” with the requirement that courts consider an officer’s conduct leading up to a use of deadly force when determining the legality of the officer’s actions.

The bill gained public support after the death of Stephon Clark in Sacramento helped deadly force situations into the limelight.

The 22-year old African-American man was shot and killed by Sacramento police Officers Terrance Mercadal and Jared Robinet on March 18, 2018 in his grandmother’s backyard while he was on the phone. The encounter was filmed by police video cameras.

A Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department helicopter was involved in observing an individual on the ground and in directing ground officers to the point at which the shooting took place. Helicopter video footage was released three days after the shooting. The officers stated that they shot Clark, firing 20 rounds, believing that he had pointed a gun at them.

COUNCIL PROCLAIMS JUNE 7-9 NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS WEEKEND

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

As national statistics suggest, Americans in every state have been adversely affected by gun violence, either through the death or injury of a friend or relative, or by being directly involved in some type of shooting incident, either as an assailant, a victim or a witness.

For those reasons the public is being asked to participate in Wear Orange Day today, June 6, and on National Gun Violence Awareness Weekend, Friday through Sunday.

Now in its fifth year, Wear Orange Day was created to honor the many lives that have been cut short by gun violence and to support efforts to reduce gun-related crimes.

On May 20, the Pasadena City Council proclaimed June 7-9 as National Gun Violence Awareness Weekend in Pasadena.

The proclamation states “Gun violence touches every segment of our society and impacts people of all ages; it increases the probability of death in incidents of domestic violence; raises the likelihood of fatalities by those who intend to injure others, and among those who attempt suicide; it places children and young people at increased risk of physical harm and injury; and disproportionately affects communities of color.”

The last fatal mas shooting in the US occurred on May 31 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, resulting in 13 people killed and six wounded.

The last fatal mass shooting in California, also on May 31, occurred in West Covina, ending with one dead and three people injured.

According to gunviolencearchive.org, 108 people were killed and 255 injured in gun violence-related incidents around the country from June 1 to June 4.

In 2019, the website found there have been 22,627 gun violence incidents, resulting in 5,968 deaths, 11,441 injuries, 249 children ages 0 to 11 killed, and 1,128 children ages 12 to 17 killed. n

out how to get traction again,” “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd said Sunday of the Vermont rally.

A Decisive Role Later last Friday in Pasadena, Sanders, Sen. Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, a former cabinet member with the Obama administration, and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee participated in the first presidential forum focused on immigration at the Pasadena Hilton, a few blocks from the city Convention Center.

While not widely known, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, also a candidate for president, spoke at a private event on Thursday, May 30, at the Women’s City Club of Pasadena Biden, who did not attend the state Democratic Party Convention in San Francisco the following Saturday, and fellow candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, are also finalizing plans to stump in Pasadena.

Part of the reason candidates are making sure to traverse California on their respective campaign trails is because the state has moved its primary election date up from June to March 3, 2020, also known as

COUNCIL VOTES TO AMEND TENANT PROTECTION ORDINANCE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

The Pasadena City Council on Monday unanimously approved the first reading of an amended Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO) which now will protect tenants displaced by a change in a building’s ownership.

Victor Gordo According to the amendment, the property owners will be required to provide relocation funds and moving expenses to income-qualified tenants in good standing if the tenancies are terminated within 18 months of the date the property is transferred.

According to a city staff report, “The changes expanding and enhancing the ordinance are intended to provide more assistance to displaced tenants and to keep pace with the rapidly rising rental housing market as directed by the City Council.”

Rents in Pasadena are among the highest in the state. A onebedroom apartment in Pasadena costs about $2,100 a month, and landlords in California can increase the rent as much as they want.

According to Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP), a poll conducted by David Binder Research revealed that 69 percent of local voters support rent control and 82 percent support a law that would block evictions without a valid reason.

The poll also found high support for rent control in all seven council districts.

Several of the council members own rental property in Pasadena, including Council members Victor Gordo, John Kennedy and Margaret McAustin. Gordo recused himself on Monday. Kennedy and McAustin made statements that the ordinance would not impact them and agreed to participate in the vote.

Councilman Steve Madison attempted to make the ordinance retroactive to Jan. 1 in order to offer protections to local residents that received eviction notices.

However, City Attorney Michelle Bagneris said that could not be done because the ordinance is penal, which means landlords could face criminal charges and have a right to know going forward that they are subject to laws. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.06.19

Super Tuesday. The earlier date — after only Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — will ensure that California voters and the state’s nearly 500 delegates play a decisive role in determining the eventual nominee, who will be chosen at the Democratic National Convention in July 2020 in Milwaukee.

Out of all the candidates, Sanders comes in second place in most polls behind only Biden, though the difference is by double digits.

Focus on Immigration US Rep. Judy Chu, whose district includes most of Pasadena, delivered introductory remarks at the immigration forum at the Pasadena Hilton. The event, titled the Unity + Freedom Forum, was hosted by FIRM Action, Community Change Action and CHIRLA Action Fund.

All four candidates who participated — Harris, Sanders, Castro and Inslee — pledged to enact comprehensive immigration reform and revoke President Trump’s Muslim travel ban during their first 100 days in office, in addition to other progressive immigration policies.

Harris, who formerly served as California attorney general, said the fight for immigration reform will not be easy, but that it’s “a fight worth having, and I promise you we will win this fight.”

Castro, who formerly served as President Obama’s Housing and Urban Development Secretary, described specific policy proposals that he would enact if elected president. His twin brother Joaquin, a congressional representative from Texas, was also in attendance.

Castro called for a “21st century Marshall Plan” for Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

“We need a president who’s not going to look down on these countries but work as a peer in a mutually beneficial way to ensure that people can find safety and opportunity in their home country, instead of having to come here to the United States,” he said. “At the same time, the truth is we need a lot of the folks who are coming to the United States right now, because they add vitality to our country. It would be economic

Kamala Harris

suicide not to have them, because we have a declining birth rate and an aging population. We need a young, vibrant workforce. We need immigrants.”

Inslee, who is running as a climate change candidate, said he would increase foreign aid to Central American countries, end family separations at the border, and give asylum seekers hearings in a reasonable time period and increase the number of refugees — including those displaced by climate change — accepted into the United States to 110,000 per year.

After Pasadena, Sanders, Harris, Castro, Inslee, Gillibrand and nine other candidates traveled to San Francisco for the California Democratic Party Convention, which was the largest gathering of 2020 presidential contenders thus far until the first official Democratic debate will be hosted by MSNBC on June 26-27 in Miami.

Stay the Course In his speech in Pasadena, Sanders said the underlying principles of our government will not be greed, kleptocracy, hatred, lies, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia or religious bigotry. “We have news for Donald Trump: we are going to end those ugly practices when we are in the White House. The principles of our government will be economic justice, racial justice, social justice and environmental justice.”

Like nine other candidates since the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in US elections and obstruction of justice

Julian Castro

on the part of Trump, Sanders also changed his position on impeachment following Mueller’s press conference explaining his thinking in the Russia investigation. Sanders now believes impeachment inquiries must begin.

“As you all know,” Reuters News Service quotes Sanders saying at the party convention, “there is a debate among presidential candidates who have spoken to you here in this room and those who have chosen for whatever reason not to be in this room about the best way forward. We cannot go back to the old ways. We have to go forward with a new and progressive agenda.”

Said Kyle, “There are a lot of people in the race, but [Sanders] has enough money to stay the course and he will probably be in there until the end.” But, she said, “I think Warren and Biden will give Sanders a run for his money.” n

A

dam Carolla has built a media empire throughout his unusual 20-plus-year career in radio, TV and podcasting.

As the co-host with Pasadena-based Dr. Drew Pinsky on the longtime syndicated radio smash “Loveline,” he established himself as a no-nonsense comedic counterpoint to the advice Pinsky dished out about drugs and relationships.

From there, he teamed up with a young Jimmy Kimmel as co-host of Comedy Central’s “The Man Show,” where the two outrageously take aim at all things involving men in pop culture and society. They also created another hit, “Crank Yankers,” for the network before Kimmel made the leap to hosting his own latenight talk show on ABC. Carolla went a different direction by entering the world of podcasting, launching a studio complex in Glendale to house Carolla Digital, from which he produces an array of podcasts each week that draw millions of listeners on the Podcast One platform. He recounted his rise to fame and fortune with his trademark sardonic wit in the bestselling memoir “Not Taco Bell Material,” and now he’s released his fi rst standup special using the same name.

PW: Tell us about the special. How’d you decide to finally do one now?

CAROLLA: It’s an hour-plus standup special, a mix of straight standup with autobiographical tale. Beginning, middle and end with some visuals so it’s a combo of a one-man show and stand up. The book was a good template as a “This is your life” kind of thing. But at some point, when people ask, “Why’d you call it this or that?” well, you have to call it something.

You shot it in Portland at the Aladdin Theatre. Since Portland is known to be overrun with young liberal activists, wasn’t that a weird choice for you since you rail against the so-called “snowfl ake” generation?

There are guys with kilts and knives if you get a little out of the city. My biggest cities are Seattle and Portland, even though I don’t come across as a Seattle/Portland guy. We’re in this weird no man’s land these days of me expressing my opinion and some people saying, “Think about what that sounds like coming from you.” I say, “Why should I have to?” Do what I say to do and have a better life.

There were some suggestions of things I should remove from the special and I said no. I don’t think enough of myself to edit myself. That’s not courageous, it’s just low self-esteem. I’m making jokes, so how can I offend anybody? If it’s funny, it’s in. If there’s no laugh, it’s out. I don’t care about the topic.

I don’t want to sound like Oprah, saying, “You’ve gotta become your best you.”

Look at Howard Stern — everyone clutched their pearls when he started, then he got big and everyone expects him to be outspoken without complaining anymore.

Snoop Dogg can now smoke pot in a police station. If you hang out long enough, you can be you, no matter what.

Jimmy Kimmel recently said he thinks “The Man Show” would be bigger than ever if done today. Do you believe that, considering we’re in the #MeToo era with men expected to watch what they say everywhere?

The pendulum swings. Look at hair bands in the 1980s, which I never enjoyed.

A bunch of dudes who looked like chicks with spandex and eyeliner, like Cinderella and Motley Crue. You had all that huge for a few years and what’s the very next musical genre that’s ushered in? Grunge. We went from nothing but makeup, Aquanet and teased hair to Kurt Cobain with a wrinkled shirt everywhere. Those guys probably wouldn’t go onstage without wrinkling their shirts on purpose. Did the Cinderella guys care? Did the Soundgarden guys not care? The answer is one’s a reaction to the other. The more safe spaces we create, the more octagons will spring up. When you have enough of this, this other stuff will spring up. I feel like the more you try to push people into this world of use the right pronoun [regarding gender identity issues], the more you’ll create crazy fringe comics.

You’re known as a libertarian, and not a fan of big government and so-called “handouts.” What inspires that viewpoint?

Whatever situation you fi nd in life will become the standard mark for you. We’re all wired to get used to wherever we are fast. When you climb into a Jacuzzi, you put your foot in and say “This is hot!” But five minutes later, you’re drinking a piña colada in it. We’re built to acclimate. If any of us went to prison, it’s horrific sounding, but at some point you would acclimate.

So my kids are acclimated to a different place than we ever were. My kids are even living in a $7 million house, but for them that’s treading water and surviving.

I lived way poorer growing up and well into adulthood, and that was my base. But once you have a base, you want more. If you say free health care, housing, et cetera is my base, then you want a free foot massage. And we can’t afford it at some point.

You don’t wake up thankful for your base. Every single morning, I jump in a freezing cold swimming pool and say I’m awake. I’m way off my base. I’m under a freezing body of water, and I try to fi nd ways to kick my butt a little bit. I perform at the Ice House Thursdays for free, and another club on Sundays. I’m trying to shake up my baseline a little bit. In a world of perfect heating and air, you have to shake your baseline a little bit. ■ “Not Taco Bell Material” is available at chassy.com and on streaming services.

Gateway to A Success AFTER 25 YEARS, ABEL RAMIREZ OF EL PORTAL SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE / PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO

bel Ramirez’s name has become ubiquitous in Pasadena. The 77-year-old restaurateur has become enmeshed in the city’s rich culinary landscape with three restaurants on Arcade Row in the heart of the Playhouse District, and has become a community leader, taking on roles with the Senior Center, the Pasadena Playhouse and the Tournament of Roses Association.

This year marks El Portal’s 25th anniversary, a milestone for any business owner in Pasadena, but especially remarkable for Ramirez, a Mexican-American immigrant who embodies the American Dream.

As a business owner, Ramirez’s son, Armando Ramirez, said his father is a product of a different era of business. His was driven by personal interactions, as opposed to online relationships, which Armando admits causes them to occasionally butt heads.

Nevertheless, Armando concedes that his father’s guidance and

face-to-face persona has led El Portal to the last quarter-century of success. Where other eateries may share their customer's food pictures on social media, Ramirez takes the “Cheers” approach and anoints barstools with plaques bearing the names of the most prominent patrons.

Armando said at the core of El Portal’s success is his father and his undying commitment to giving guests the best possible dining experience. It is that emphasis that Armando believes is his father’s best asset.

“I say to everybody, ‘He’s our best PR.’ Everyone knows Abel from not just the restaurant, but from all the things he is involved in.” Armando said.

A picture of Abel is on the menu at El Portal, and if you call on a weekday afternoon, there is a good chance that he will answer the phone.

If you go to Arcade Row you will likely see the septuagenarian clad in a business suit and shuffling between his three restaurants. He trusts that his restaurants are running properly, but he feels guilty being away from the action and enjoys celebrating milestones and everyday achievements with his customers.

Abel keeps a stash of mini piñatas to celebrate with young visitors, some of whom recall receiving them years ago. It’s that personal connection that has cemented Abel’s reputation in Pasadena.

“One of the biggest things he has taught us is to really get to know our customers and give them the best experience,” Armando said. "He has long emphasized the importance of making customers happy and ensuring they feel that they’ve had a good meal at a decent value."

“I am not convinced that the new technology is the way to run a restaurant; I like being there, you see my face, I see you. That is what counts for me,” said Abel.

Abel said he and his son have reached an agreement to merge their management styles — Abel acts as the face of the business while his son takes on the new media marketing.

Abel adds that owning a restaurant has never been easy, but this moment in time is the most difficult time he has experienced.

“If anyone would ask me today to open a restaurant, my immediate answer would be to say 'No, thank you,'” Abel said.

He attributes the level of difficulty to the sheer volume of competition in the area and the increasing cost of doing business in California.

Despite the high-costs and razor-thin margins, Abel said he is most proud of having a way to support his more than 60 employees, half he estimates to be full-time workers.

As a founding member of the Playhouse District Association, Abel Martinez took a stake in Colorado Boulevard and watched it evolve over the past quarter-century from his storefront. He said when he opened El Portal the area he is currently in was not the commerce destination it is today.

“Since then, this area of Pasadena is great.

People come to us, we have the Pasadena Playhouse, we have the theaters, we have culture and commerce. It is a great area.” Abel said.

Abel admits there were a lot of lessons to learn over the years — the one he jokes about now is the downside of hiring his family members as he did when he first opened.

“We started with a lot of family. I learned that is the worst thing you could do because then you are not the boss and you have 18 bosses around you,” Abel said.

The menu has evolved since 1995. He said he has had to add more diversity to some of the menus to accommodate the increase in vegetarians and more health-conscious guests.

The El Portal family of restaurants is inescapable on Arcade Row. Between El Portal, Yahaira’s and Vanessa’s, every type of dining is offered, the latter two named after his granddaughters.

Each eatery takes on a different style, from pastries and coffee at Vanessa’s to brunch at Yahaira’s or a full dinner at El Portal.

Catering has given Abel an avenue to grow even closer to his customers. He regularly caters graduation parties and weddings of the children of regulars, many of whom he watched grow into adulthood.

Abel said he has no interest in stepping away from Arcade Row anytime soon, though he acknowledges someday his son will step into running the entire operation.

“We have so many guests who are extended family. We don’t see them as customers. We know their lives," Abel said. "I am very lucky."

DOUBLE DADDY DUTY

Pasadena offers two great ways to celebrate Father’s Day June 16 No kid really likes what’s known as a “Disney dad,” the kind of father who is distant most of the time but shows up occasionally to spoil his children with extravagant adventures like trips to Disneyland. With Father’s Day coming up June 16, there are three much more affordable ways to hang out with your kids while giving them genuine quality time to boot.

First off, one of Pasadena’s biggest annual events — the Pasadena Chalk Festival — takes place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, June 16, along with the Pasadena Car Show. Thousands of artists will take to the sidewalks of the Paseo Colorado and surrounding blocks to create an eye-popping array of artworks that draw tens of thousands of admirers, while the streets are filled with classic cars to boot. Admission to both is free.

Meanwhile, The Rose nightclub will put a special Father’s Day twist on its weekly Soulful Sunday Brunch, where a delicious brunch buffet is accompanied by live soulful music to shift the celebration into high gear.

The band B.I.G. (Brothers Igniting a Groove) provides the entertainment, performing R&B, smooth jazz and old school funk, with a repertoire of over 100 songs and counting.

Admission is $29 for adults and $12 for children under 13 if you want the brunch and show, and just $15 general admission for those seeking to just enjoy the music. Call (888) 645-5006 or viit wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com.

HEALTHY HONOR

New ChapCare clinic named in tribute to LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger ChapCare clinics has announced the opening of its new state-of-theart Kathryn Barger Health Center, located at 1595 N. Lake Ave. The health center was made possible in part by generous funding provided

by Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, 5th District.

Additional funding was provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

The new 4,500 square foot Kathryn Barger Health Center has 13 medical exam rooms (an increase of eight), and four behavioral health counseling rooms (including one group room). The new facility is located just a few blocks away from ChapCare’s Lake Health Center, and will absorb the patients from the current facility. At full capacity, ChapCare expects to be able to serve 3,800 unduplicated patients at this new health center, an increase of over 1,500 from its current Lake Health Center site.

The Kathryn Barger Health Center is a comprehensive health care facility. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon.-Fri. ChapCare provides low- or no-cost health services (Medi-Cal and Medicare) and accepts many Covered California and private insurance plans. Call (626) 398-6300.

REJECTION HURTS

REPLACE THAT CRITICAL INNER VOICE WITH ONE THAT HAS MORE SUPPORTIVE AND POSITIVE OPINIONS Dear Patti, I’m sitting in our family car, writing you because I don’t want my parents to know how upset I am. I’m a senior in high school and have always known that I would need financial aid for college. I’ve been training and counting on an athletic scholarship for golf for the last four years. Today I received the last rejection letter. Out of the 11 schools I applied to, I have not received any scholarships. There are two colleges I have been accepted to but I will have to take out huge student loans.

At first I was shocked. I had always been told that I was a shoo-in. Now I’m so mad at myself for being so arrogant, so sure of myself. I should have done my due diligence and made sure that I had a better backup plan. Looking back, there were two other girls on my team that were drafted and recruited by the colleges of their choice. Not me! So why was I so stupid to think I was such a great athlete!

I love both of my parents dearly, but if I’m honest they lack the discipline it takes to get somewhere in life. My dad always talks about how he wanted to be a veterinarian but instead he’s a car mechanic. My mom cleans houses, and while she seems content it hurts me to see her work so hard for such long hours. She says she’s happy to have her marriage and children, but I can’t help wonder if she would’ve been happier if she’d been more successful.

I’ve been seeing the counselor at school since the first rejection letters started coming in. Even though I’ve been crying every day, my counselor doesn’t think I’m depressed. She says I’m responding to disappointing news with deep sadness, which she believes is normal. I hope she’s right because I feel so upset that it’s hard to think about anything else right now. I’ll probably go to one of the colleges that did accept me but I’m not excited about it. I’m not looking forward to having to work throughout my whole time in college and still end up with a huge financial burden in student loans. It just hurts so much that I don’t feel special or talented anymore. I just feel average.

— Ashley Dear Ashley, I agree with your counselor that it’s very normal to be sad in a situation where you experience a major life loss and rejection, as you just have. However, it’s definitely not emotionally healthy to turn on yourself with such an extreme negative voice. If I had a daughter that had just lost a life dream and in the middle of her pain you called her arrogant, stupid, not special or talented, and just average, I would calmly but firmly ask you to leave the premises. Then I would nurture my daughter and quietly wait until she could begin to re-build her dream again.

It’s easy for most people to be proud of themselves when they are doing well and meeting their life goals. It’s hardest to be your own true friend when things are tough, but that’s when it’s most important to do so. Your adult life is just beginning and there will probably be many disappointments. Those will be the times when you will need a nurturing, loyal internal voice, a voice that can see your own worth when you are having difficulty doing so.

While you may not be clinically depressed now, there are studies showing that people with a depressive disorder are more apt to have self-critical thought patterns, a harsh inner critic. If you start beating yourself up with accusations and self-flagellations, you’re more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety. Shaming, judging, and isolating yourself will only make things worse.

Rejection hurts. Be as kind and gentle to yourself as you can. Challenge that critical voice by replacing it with more supportive and positive opinions about yourself. Work on building yourself up more, focusing on you rather than comparing yourself with others. Allow your heart to dream and don’t ever discard your desires for the life you really want. Your life is a work in progress. Nothing big gets accomplished overnight; change of any kind is challenging. But persist in taking small steps and appreciate each accomplishment you make. Don’t ever lose your unique and valuable self. If you continue to feel sad and blue, I recommend further professional counseling. 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.

THE CROWN CITY THROWS TWO GIANT ARTS PARTIES THIS WEEKEND

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

T

here’s nothing like great early-summer weather to inspire people to seek fun in the sun, and this weekend offers three big events in the Crown City to kick the season off right.

Following two colorful, successful editions that brought several thousand art-lovers to the district in 2017 and 2018, “BoldPas: A Day of Art & Play in Old Pasadena” returns from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 8. The event, presented by the Old Pasadena Management District and staged in Old Pasadena’s historic 19thcentury alleys, is free to the public and offers a one-day-only op-

portunity to encounter artistic, ephemeral interventions in unique urban spaces.

BoldPas features installations that are stylistically bold — showcasing bright colors, surprising scale, and unique materials — and all invite direct interaction with event-goers. Seventeen installations will be on view, created by selected artists from the greater Los Angeles area who will be on hand throughout the day to present their work to visitors.

Among the innovative installations are a 50-foot canvas susCONTINUED ON PAGE 18

ROOTSY SONGS OF ADDICTION AND ATTRACTION FROM NASHVILLE ARTIST RENEE WAHL AND BAND AT LOVE SONG BAR

PHOTO: Deone Jahnke

S

inger-songwriter Renee Wahl laughs often — especially when admitting she likes to “geek out” on the science behind how music affects us psychologically. A physics major who served in the Air Force and taught physics to audio engineers, she quotes Einstein (“imagination is more important than knowledge”) while connecting science and songwriting.

“People tend to think of science as this hard, concrete, boring thing, but it’s really not. It’s not that knowledge isn’t important, but even in science there’s a creative aspect, as there is in songwriting.

If you’re just looking at songwriting or science from the perspective of formula, you’re not creating anything new.”

Wahl’s touring behind her smartly composed new album, “Cut to the Bone,” recorded with Lucinda Williams guitarist Stuart Mathis at his home studio and a deft band that fleshes out the music’s rootsy tension and release. Songs like “Six Days Til Sunday,” the sultry “Temptation” and “Cold Day in Memphis” depict characters grappling with

desires that can get the better of them, as Wahl moans like a tougher Kelly Willis over steel-buffed waves of guitar, organ and strings.

Wahl, who lives with “horses, a donkey, and a bunch of dogs” on 37 acres outside of Nashville, pointedly avoids staking out political positions. Yet her song “To the Bone” is political, at least insofar as it concerns “people that try to make you think they’re going to fix all your problems, and really they’re only in it for themselves.”

“Well, you come around here, black Cadillac and all The right time, the right place, and the answer to their call They drop to their knees begging, ‘Rescue me’ But I’m not falling for you, dear, even though it would be so easy” “People choose who they want to follow based on what they’re being told they’re gonna get from them, and across the board, people have their own agendas. Whether it’s a politician, a lover, or a religious leader, they tend to gravitate to those positions of power because they may already be a little corrupt, or they become corrupt because of

those positions of power. It’s not all black and white.”

Her song “Meds,” which humorously shuffles through a “virtual rainbow” of antidepressant medications, has elicited positive responses from audiences — even though, Wahl acknowledges with a laugh, she gets the impression that “some people aren’t sure if they should respond to it … It’s a funny song about a very serious subject.”

“I tend to write a little on the dark side, and this is probably the darkest collection I’ve had,” she says of the album. “It has this theme of really looking deep at yourself and others, and what’s going on in our life and the world, looking at both the positive and negative and not necessarily painting things in a pretty picture. There’s no sugarcoating.” n Renee Wahl performs at the Love Song Bar at the Regent, 450 S. Main St., downtown LA, at 9 p.m. Thursday, June 6; Tawny Ellis and Lasers Lasers Birmingham perform earlier. Free admission. Info: (213) 284-5728.

IKE’S CREEK DISPLAYS AWARD-WINNING STYLE AT COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE

IN 2017, THE AMERICANA ROOTS BAND IKE’S CREEK, PLAYING SUNDAY AT COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE, WAS FOUNDED BY SINGER-SONGWRITER AND MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST KOREY SIMEONE. Simeone had traveled from his home state of Idaho to Austin, Texas in 1997 and toured internationally with various bluegrass acts before eventually settling in Los Angeles.

There he hooked up with guitarist and mandolin player Thomas Moose and Cori Cable Kidder on vocals, and in a fairly short time Ike’s Creek had taken the Americana scene by storm, combining top-shelf songwriting, bluesy vocals and virtuoso instrumental skills.

Their rocket-like rise was highlighted in 2018 by capturing No. 1 honors in the band category at the prestigious Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest.

Ike’s Creek has a voluminous repertoire of original songs. Their debut album is “Up, Rising.”

Visit ikescreek.com. — John Sollenberger Music starts at 7 p.m. Sunday at Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena.

Tickets are $20. Call (626) 798-6236 or visit coffeegallery.com.

SANTANA, Africa Speaks (Concord): HHHH

By rights, Latin Grammy-winning Spanish diva Buika’s name should join Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana’s above the title. The Rick Rubin-produced album is Santana’s most inspired, interesting album in years. But while his playing’s robust, and kudos to percussionist Karl Perazzo and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana, as singer and lyricist it is Buika — and, on “Blue Skies,” British R&B singer Laura Mvula — who illuminates the music with fierce soul. Highlights: hypnotic thumper “Los Invisibles” (based on Rachid Taha and Steve Hillage’s “Barra Barra”), “Oye Este Mi Canto,” “Yo Me Lo Merezco.” santana.com, buikaofficial.com

STEVIE REDSTONE, Shot in the Dark (selfreleased): HHH

At its strongest, the LA songwriter’s 10-track offering tips a melodic hat to old-school soul and AM pop radio while honoring generations of separation from the heyday of the Everly Brothers, the Beach Boys, and Motown. The percussion riff opening “Shots Fired” recalls the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil,” but the song tacks in a slicker, more earnest direction over electric guitar, horns and a raft of background vocals. Highlights: the title track, romantic “Looking Glass,” droughtinspired “Rivers in the Sky.” RIYL Diane Birch, A.J. Croce. stevieredstone.com

Silky, smoothly braided vocals are the musical signature of singer-songwriters Emily Colombier, Jessica Rotter and Sarah Margaret Huff, and may strike listeners as a sunnier counterpart to sibling trio Joseph. The pop country sheen of “Completely” recalls the Wreckers, while the stormy relationship angst of “Middle of the Night” (“I can’t stand you but I can’t stand to be alone”) is calmed by the graceful harmonies of “Master Weaver,” “Right on Time” and CSN’s “Helplessly Hoping.” At Chinatown Summer Nights in Downtown LA Saturday, June 8, and Highland Park Bowl in Highland Park Wednesday, June 12. wearejems.com

Mostly midtempo pop daubed with rock and country, the album quietly takes stock; the dreamy “Ghost of a Girl” and title track evoke earlier Mandell recordings: “If I could rewind/ Go back in time/ …Let me go back.” At Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth in LA Sunday, June 9. elenimandell.com

Make Some ‘Noises’ A NOISE WITHIN PRESENTS FINAL WEEKEND OF CLASSIC FARCE ‘NOISES OFF’

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI A truly funny comedy never gets old, and A Noise Within (ANW) — a Pasadena gem that is the Los Angeles area’s most renowned repertory theater — is living by that principle with its current season-ending run of the beloved farce “Noises Off.” The show was such a hit in the previous season that ANW brought it back by popular demand, and the madcap story of the disastrous backstage shenanigans at a theater closes its current run this weekend.

Playwright Michael Frayn’s joyfully out-of-control British farce features an under-rehearsed and overworked cast and crew with a penchant for drama more personal than professional, preparing for the world premiere of a new play aptly titled “Nothing On.” As the production progresses, the bumbling cast brings the house down — literally.

The idea for the 1982 play came in 1970, when Frayn was watching from the wings a performance of “The Two of Us,” another farce that he had written for actress Lynn Redgrave. Each act of “Noises Off” contains a performance of the first act of a play within the play,

a sex farce called “Nothing On.” Act One takes place at the technical rehearsal at midnight, with the cast hopelessly unready on midnight the night before the first performance.

Act Two takes place during a matinee performance a month into the run, with the focus more on the backstage shenanigans among the deteriorating cast, while Act Three shows one of the final performances, in which everyone is at each other’s throats and the set is completely falling apart.

Throughout, doors slam, characters engage in incredible physical comedy and the show maintains a wildly unpredictable edge. There are also spoof advertisements and acknowledgements of mystical props that do not actually appear, adding an extra layer of laughs to the mix. .

The play, which is the theater’s most requested production, is codirected by ANW’s producing artistic directors Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and Geoff Elliott, who founded the theater in 1993. A lighter change of pace from their usual fare of dramatic classics that are often reinvented in unique sty-

listic settings, “Noises” has proven to be a smash hit several times throughout the ensemble’s history. “’Noises Off’ is truly one of our signature productions, with audience members returning to see it two or more times,” says Elliott.

Rodriguez-Elliott adds, “Everything about the deft physical and verbal iinterplay between actors is ideal for A Noise Within’s focus on ensemble work.”

ANW’s previous stagings of Frayn’s outlandish production have won rave reviews from critics, whose praise included “a superb cast hit the banana peel running and never let up” (Los Angeles Times); “laser sharp comic timing” (Broadway World); “A Noise Within tackles the comedy with aplomb” (TheaterMania); and “Michael Frayn’s delightfully complicated British farce could hardly have a better rendition than this” (Backstage). n “Noises Off” runs tonight through Sunday at A Noise Within, 3352 Foothill Blvd., Pasadena.

MINDY KALING STEPS UP TO BIG SCREEN STARDOM BY WRITING AND CO-STARRING WITH EMMA THOMPSON IN THE NEW DRAMEDY ‘LATE NIGHT’

ROCKETMAN

Stars: Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell Length: 121 minutes Directed by: Dexter Fletcher Rating: R This outstanding biopic of Elton John takes a different approach to telling a music legend's life story than last year's "Bohemian Rhapsody," using elaborate fantasy song and dance numbers that make this feel like a spectacular Broadway show, while also telling a more emotional tale of the rough road to self-acceptance.

Grade: A

MA

Stars: Octavia Spencer, Diana Silvers, Juliette Lewis Length: 99 minutes Directed by: Tate Taylor Rating: R The latest comedic horror film from the usually reliable Blumhouse (“Get Out,” “Split”) stars Oscarwinner Octavia Spencer as a mysterious small-town woman who invites teens to party in her house on the edge of town, but turns out to have malevolent intentions. The first half is pretty fun, but the last half hour’s logic collapses and the film becomes an ugly mess.

Grade: D

JOHN WICK 3: PARABELLUM

E

ver since the battle royale for ratings that occurred between David Letterman and Jay Leno in the 1990s through 2015, late-night comedy talk shows have established a gossipfueled niche in the minds of American TV viewers.

The new movie “Late Night”— starring Emma Thompson in a terrific, multilayered performance as a female talk show host in danger of losing her job to ageism and creative laziness, and Mindy Kaling of “The Office” fame as a young woman writer who inspires her to revive her creative spirit— offers a funny, insightful and surprisingly touching look at that world.

The movie follows a young Indian-American woman named Molly (Kaling), who works as a quality control inspector at a chemical plant in Pennsylvania but dreams of working in the comedy business. When longtime late-night host Katherine Newbury (Thompson) learns that her ratings are collapsing since she’s out of touch with the current zeitgeist and she has only one year left to be on her major TV network, she puts out word to hire a “diverse” writer.

Molly lands an interview through an incredibly clever tactic and wins the job because she’s the only female who applied. The rest of the writing staff are white men, who resent her presence immediately for having no comedy background and being an obvious case of de facto affirmative action.

At first, Molly fires back wisecracks in reply to their resentment, and is filled with politically correct self-pity, wishing the world would open before her just for being a “woman of color.” But eventually, she realizes that just as Katherine fought her way to success nearly 30 years ago, she too has to prove herself, work hard and truly be funny on the job.

She also saves Katherine at a press event that is going disastrously, by presenting herself as a bold move by Katherine. As she and her boss become friends, Katherine learns to take comedic chances again and find her spark while Molly learns that nothing comes free in life.

But crisis hits when a disgruntled rival reveals that Katherine 24 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.06.19

Mindy Kaling in Late Night

engaged in a one-night fling with her male head writer three years before. The news humiliates her and devastates her Parkinson’sstricken husband (John Lithgow), forcing her to make the biggest decisions of her life and career.

“Late Night” is an extremely well-written and engaging dramedy that is rated R for relatively mild foul language, but otherwise maintains a sweet innocence. The film’s smart script (by Kaling herself) offers some surprising takes on the lack of diversity in late-night talk show writers’ rooms, which are often dominated strictly by white men.

What’s refreshing about Kaling’s take on the issue is that she finds a way to show the men as more than just jerky stereotypes while also painting Molly as a person who needs to step up her creativity and show them a better way with her actions rather than just her words.

Kaling is also a fun comic foil for Thompson’s Katherine, bringing her youthful charm and naivete against the veteran host’s world-weariness and inner sadness. One of the film’s strongest suits lies in the way it weaves together the famous optics of other real-life stars — Katherine wears suits and a hairdo like Ellen DeGeneres, and her show’s title logo is copied from that of Stephen Colbert’s CBS show — to make viewers feel that Katherine very well could be a formidable real-life figure.

The movie has extremely funny moments with the writingstaff banter and the comedy stunts that Molly convinces the newly invigorated Katherine to perform for her show. But mostly this is a touching story of finding your place in the world on the one hand for Molly, and finding your drive and passion for life after losing it for Katherine.

In a summer filled with special effects-driven action spectacles and endless sequels and reboots, “Late Night” provides a fresh take on lovable characters and helps add a dose of humanity to the season. n

“LATE NIGHT”: A

Stars: Keanu Reeves Length: 131 minutes Directed by: Chad Stahelski Rating: R The third time’s the charm, as Reeves returns as the world’s greatest hitman, dashing across New York while fighting off seemingly hundreds of assassins eager to take him down for a $14 million bounty. You really don’t even have to know the prior two films in the series to understand this – the movie has nearly wall to wall, brutal but nonetheless funny action.

Grade: A

BOOKSMART

Stars: Beanie Feldstein, Kaitlyn Dever Length: 102 minutes Directed by: Olivia Wilde Rating: R This gender-flipped ripoff of 2007’s smash hit “Superbad” follows two brainiac girls trying to experience four years of partying in their final night before graduation. The actors are appealing talents mired in a cesspool of terrible behavior that is not only clichéd by now but tries to shred the envelope of good taste. Opening weekend bombed, so it’s clear that thankfully kids these days don’t relate to this. Grade: D

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM

Stars: John Chester, Molly Chester Length: 91 minutes Directed by: John Chester Rating: PG This documentary focusing on a real-life couple who gave up cramped living in Santa Monica to restore seemingly dead land in Ventura County, and the eight-year process that resulted in a modern-day Garden of Eden, is absolutely riveting and stunning to behold. Highly recommended for the whole family.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. ìNOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed 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.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2018-01050-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
