RIGHT OF WAY This is terrific. Bicyclists have the right of way. Move over Rover, I’m coming through. Bike lanes are great. They give bicyclists a special lane to ride their bikes in.

They can feel safe and have no fear of getting hit by cars. They all ride at safe speeds and observe all the rules of the road.

Or do they?

I have trouble with bicyclists who won’t stop at stop signs, much less red lights. They just take a look and see if the road is clear of cars approaching them.

Cars, trucks and motorcyclists all stop at red lights and stop signs.

Why not bicyclists?

Oh, they’re different.

It seems they should all be wearing helmets. I have accident and liability insurance. I have a driver’s license, I have registered my vehicle. Do bicycles have insurance? Do they have a bicyclist driver’s license? Have they registered their vehicle? Are their brake lights and headlights working? If not, why not? They’re on the road.

It seems DMV should start doing their job. Oh, they haven’t got the time. Oh, they only deal with motorized vehicles. Then the local cities should be making sure these riders are qualified to ride the road.

Think of all the revenue they could raise. Think of all the citations the local police department could issue. This could mean double the revenue. It’s well worth the thought.

Bicyclists should defi nitely be careful on the road. You may be right, but you don’t want to be dead right.

JUST SAY IT, MAN

A HUMAN UNIVERSAL

To the editors of Pasadena Weekly, what in the world is this review (Film, May 23)? You can publish this rant about how comedies made by men are better?

Let’s try a review that uses fi lm theory that doesn’t rely on name dropping other comedies. I can’t stress enough that this comes off like a personal opinion and it’s a shame that Pasadena Weekly supports the homophobic and sexist. He thinks he’s sly by using phrases like “rest assured,” but just say it, man. Just say what you want to about the lesbian scenes in the fi lm and let the paper publish it because clearly they will publish anything.

His negative use of the phrases “millennial” and “PC culture” show a problem with how out of touch this review is. If you didn’t like the film, totally fi ne. To act like females being “raunchy” is a problem is unacceptable. Seems like you don’t like women in the driver’s seat as directors and writers either. Wow. I’m hoping this doesn’t weigh into major aggregates because it’s undoubtedly personally biased with no critique of the fi lmmaking.

The guest feature on the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests was timely and needed. Catherine Bauknight should be commended for her bravery in continuing to frame and snap photographs as soldiers opened fi re on the students. It’s unfortunate, however, that she writes about repression in China only using the past tense, of events that happened “before discovering the rewards of capitalism.”

Instead, the situation today is still repressive and, like in so many countries, trending for the worse. At the same time, private wealth has been on a consistent rise. That implies human freedom is not as much a question of property ownership, but basic ownership of one’s own life and labor.

The constant demand for that base line continues into the present with hundreds of strikes over the past year in the United States and more than a thousand strikes in China. The work stoppages span manufacturing, education, health, and transportation and overflow the bulwarks of official union bureaucracy. They are not removed in spirit from the women’s marches and smaller groups of women who demonstrate in China, risking arrest, or from racial minorities in either country struggling for visibility and dignity.

The ever resurgent call for democracy and self-determination within the society, the workplace, and the family is a human universal, not discovered from outside. That universal is the bane of existence for any elite group that consolidates power and wealth unto themselves, whether their slogans extol collectivism or privatism. Reflecting back on the Tiananmen student strike should also propel us into the future. ~ BUDDY BELL MONROVIA

A PLEA FOR HELP ACTIVISTS CALL ON CALTRANS TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF ITS TENANTS AND PROPERTIES

Dear Caltrans Director Laurie Berman: On behalf of the NO 710 Action Committee, we are writing to ask for your immediate help. We write as representatives of the tenants of Caltrans-owned houses and the neighbors, who live in or near the corridor of the now-canceled State Route 710 Freeway — in Pasadena, South Pasadena and El Sereno (Los Angeles).

A Little Background As we believe you know, Caltrans purchased the majority of the 710 properties in Pasadena, South Pasadena and El Sereno during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

Most of the properties purchased were single-family residences in thriving and healthy neighborhoods. Houses purchased ranged from small bungalows and Victorian cottages to mansion-sized homes. There are several apartment complexes, and a number of properties are now used by nonprofit charitable organizations. Scattered about are a few vacant lots.

Large numbers of the houses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places or have been determined eligible for the National Register and/or the California Register. Today, most of these Caltrans-owned houses are adjacent to established and highly desirable neighborhoods in Pasadena, South Pasadena and El Sereno.

Even Caltrans does not know exactly how many houses and properties its owns. We generally refer to 500 Caltrans properties and believe that there are at least 460 houses along the corridor of the now-canceled 710 Freeway extension.

Caltrans has indicated that all of these houses and properties will be sold, but progress on this plan is almost non-existent.

The Current Situation In recent years, Caltrans has reduced its care and maintenance of all of these properties. Gradually, more and more houses became vacant and subject to vandalism and fell into serious disrepair. In Pasadena alone, we know that 25 percent of the Caltrans-owned houses are vacant. There are a number of longterm residents and their families who have lived in their houses for decades.

Many have taken on the responsibilities and expenses of upkeep and repairs themselves. These Caltrans renters hope to be able to purchase their houses — either in the affordable price range (if they qualify) or at market rate. These tenants look upon these houses as their “homes” and feel and are part of the nearby neighborhoods.

‘BAILING WATER’

CASH-FLUSH LAWMAKERS CONTEMPLATE MORE WAYS TO BUY OUR WAY OUT OF HOMELESSNESS

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

W

hile Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature debated how best to disburse $1 billion in funds to aid people living on the streets of California, an audit revealed staggering increases in the number of destitute people experiencing homelessness.

This new allocation comes on the heels of Measure H, which passed in 2017 and increases the Los Angeles County sales tax by a quarter of a cent for 10 years. In that time, the measure is expected to raise $3.5 billion.

In 2016, voters in the city of Los Angeles passed Proposition HHH, a $1.2 billion bond measure in order to build $10,000 units of affordable housing.

Meanwhile, officials in Pasadena said the city’s own decreasing homeless count is not an anomaly.

According to the local count, there are 542 people experiencing homelessness in Pasadena, down from 677 in 2018.

The 2019 homeless census is the second lowest in Pasadena since the count began in 1992. The lowest numbers were recorded

in 2016, when 530 homeless people were counted.

That’s a far cry from Los Angeles where the survey revealed a soaring homeless population over last year of more than 36,000 people, and more than 59,000 people living on the streets around Los Angeles County, according to the LA Times.

“The fact that the recent homeless count indicated that Pasadena’s number of homeless actually went down, while increasing in other cities, is testament to the efforts of the city and local nonprofits,” said City Manager Steve Mermell.

“Sadly, however, it gives me little comfort, as the problem is so pronounced, particularly in Los Angeles County. There is no easy solution, as homelessness is the downstream result of many other issues. Collectively, we must be willing to implement real solutions that get people off the street rather than move them around from place to place.”

But according to the aide of one Los Angeles City Council member, many cities are not part of the collective effort and instead are using police in suburban areas to remove the

US Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) unsuccessfully proposed an appropriations amendment that would prohibit the US Army Corps of Engineers from spending federal dollars to use a controversial herbicide in and around the Los Angeles River.

“Many of my constituents who live near the Los Angeles River are rightly concerned by the Army Corps of Engineer’s use of glyphosate to remove vegetation,” said Schiff of the popular herbicide Roundup’s active chemical component, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has determined is a probable cause of cancer.

“I believe the Army Corps should find alternative ways of managing vegetation in the river that do not raise health concerns, and I remain committed to finding legislative avenues to compel them to do so,” Schiff said in a statement issued June 14.

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

Schiff’s proposal would have amended legislation currently being considered in the House of Representatives to provide funding for the Army Corps for fiscal year 2020. The amendment was not included by the House Rules Committee among the list of amendments that would receive a full vote in the House.

Schiff wrote to Army Corps Chief of Staff Col. Kirk E. Gibbs in October 2017 and January 2018, urging him to find alternatives to using glyphosate.

After the corps indicated it would not stop using glyphosate in response to community concerns, Schiff also proposed two more proposals to prohibit the use of glyphosate in the LA River.

In March 2015, WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The US EPA, however, says it is not a carcinogen.

Roundup was produced by the Monsanto Co., which was acquired by Germany-based Bayer AG in 2018. Since then, despite the EPA’s findings, plaintiffs in three separate lawsuits have been awarded nearly $2.5 billion in damages.

There are currently more than 10,000 other lawsuits facing Bayer AG. According to the Department of Agriculture, in 2014 about 240 million pounds of glyphosate had been sprayed in the US.

ONE WIN, ONE LOSS

TWO LOCAL CASES END IN STARKLY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Two local lawsuits came to an end this past week.

First, a City Hall employee was awarded nearly $900,000 after he faced retaliation by city officials.

Farshid Roumi And second, a Los Angeles jury ruled against a former Caltech scientist who claimed he was fired in 2016 for exposing misappropriation of funds from the Department of Energy.

Farshid Roumi, 39, an expert in battery research, agreed to transfer federal funding for battery research to the school from Parthian Energy LLC, a company he co-founded in 2012.

Two researchers were bought in by the college to help Roumi, but things took a bad turn after he learned of the researchers allegedly doing work unrelated to the project while being paid from the federal dollars he agreed to transfer to the school.

After objecting, Roumi’s project was shut down and he was fired.

“They loved him,” plaintiff’s attorney Mark Quigley said of Roumi’s Caltech supervisors, when addressing the jury during opening statements, according to City News Service.

In the first case, a jury late last week awarded former Department of Water and Power employee Richard Thompson $824,000 after city officials retaliated against him for writing a favorable performance evaluation recommending the promotion of a female employee who was suing the city for gender discrimination.

Thompson also claimed the day before he was to testify on behalf of Aurora Isabel, he was summoned to meet with his supervisor and two city attorneys, who instructed him to say that he did not write Isabel’s performance evaluation recommending her for promotion, and that she did.

After Thompson testified on behalf of Isabel, which resulted in her receiving $250,000, the city demoted him from his job as a utility services planning supervisor, and took away his office and city vehicle. Thompson was forced to take a stress-related leave of absence and later resigned.

“The city of Pasadena has a duty to follow the law and protect its employees from retaliation and harassment, not engage in it,” said attorney Patrick McNicholas. “Richard Thompson was an employee of the city for 25 years, and because he didn’t agree to lie under oath to protect the city in a separate lawsuit, he was humiliated, harassed and ostracized to the point where he was forced to resign.” n

MONEY MAN

PORTANTINO RECEIVES NEARLY $50 MILLION FOR PCC AND ARROYO SECO PROJECTS

BY CAROLINE KIMBEL

State Sen. Anthony J. Portantino (D-Pasadena) announced last week that his requests for the 2019Anthony J. Portantino 2020 state budget have been approved.

Portantino asked for $3.5 million to help restore the Arroyo Seco Watershed Restoration Project from Proposition 68, and $40.7 million from Proposition 51 funds for Pasadena City College’s (PCC) Armen Sarafian Building.

In 2016, voters passed Proposition 51, which mandates the state to issue $9 billion in bonds to renovate and improve K-12 public schools and community colleges across California.

Portantino previously served on the PCC Measure P Bond Oversight Committee, which oversaw $150 million used to repair and upgrade buildings at the college.

“It was a pleasure to work with educators, city leaders and local activists to prioritize projects that will positively impact our community,” said Portantino in a prepared statement. “The Arroyo Seco is facing significant challenges due to the dam removal project and I was pleased that both South Pasadena and Pasadena want to help enhance this important regional watershed. Also, PCC continues to be the heart and soul of our community. Being in a position to lobby the chancellor, the Department of Finance and the Governor’s office on the importance of the Sarafian Building was very important. I am glad that these requests were successful,” said Portantino.

Portantino will also use $3.5 million in Parks, Environment and Water Bond funds to help restore the Arroyo Seco.

The Lower Arroyo Stream Restoration project was chosen by the Council of Arroyo Seco Agencies as the top project for funding in April.

“It is a benefit to have a senator who is familiar with and who appreciates the importance of the Arroyo Seco. Our organization is grateful once again that Portantino has stepped up on our behalf. I am looking forward to seeing how these resources are going to be allocated and am very optimistic that South Pasadena and Pasadena will cooperate with the activist community on the best utilization plan,” added Tim Brick, managing director, Arroyo Seco Foundation. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.20.19

homeless from their streets and direct them to Los Angeles.

In one instance, a homeless encampment lines the north side of Venice Boulevard under the San Diego (405) Freeway in West Los Angeles.

But on the south side of the street, which is in suburban Culver City, there are no tents or homeless people. Similar situations exist in Manhattan Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes.

In Eagle Rock, an unincorporated part of Los Angeles, tents line the south side of an underpass of the Glendale (2) Freeway on Wilson Avenue, but ends just before Glendale’s city border.

“Some police officers are taking the homeless out of their cities and moving them to the LA city side,” Branimir Kvartuc, a spokesperson for LA City Councilman Joe Buscaino, told FOX News last week.

Last year, Buscaino called for an investigation after a video showed police dropping a man off on the streets in San Pedro. According to Buscaino, the man showed signs of mental illness.

Sheriff’s deputies claimed the man asked for a ride to Pasadena where he said he lives. The deputies told him they couldn’t drive him there but would take him to a bus stop. There is no direct route from San Pedro to Pasadena.

“This call is not a case of dumping,” said Nicole Nishida, a public information officer with the Sheriff’s Department. Nishida called the incident “an act of compassionate service.”

Critics like Kvartuc point to the disparity in Los Angeles’ population compared to its homeless number. The city’s 4 million people make up about 38 percent of the county’s total population, but the 36,000 homeless people living in the city account for 61 percent of the county’s homeless population. And those numbers are soaring, due in part to rising housing costs. Los Angeles is not the only county that has experienced large increases in its homeless population. Riverside County saw a 22 percent increase, San Bernardino County saw 23 percent increase and Orange County saw a whopping 48 percent increase from its last count in 2017.

“We’re bailing water from the proverbial boat with a hole in it and the boat is sinking,” said Ryan Bell, spokesperson for the Pasadena Tenants Justice Coalition. “The cure is legislation that will keep tenants in their homes. Wages have not kept pace with rent increases and, astonishingly, 721,000 LA County households are severely rent burdened, defined as spending more than 50 percent of their income on rent. Unless and until cities across LA County take action to protect renters and stabilize the precariously housed, more and more families will find themselves sleeping in cars and garages, on floors and sidewalks.”

But so far the efforts to fight the problem include legislation to build more housing under legislation like SB 50 — which would prohibit cities across the state from banning mid-rise apartments within a half-mile of public transit and allowing for four

Steve Mermell

or more homes on parcels of land in single-family neighborhoods.

But it would take years to build enough housing to put a dent in the current homeless population.

Last week, Newsom said that the state will spend nearly $1 billion to help combat the problem.

But no one knows how that money will be divided up, or if any accountability standards would be included to determine how the money is spent.

Pasadena could get anywhere between $500,000 and $1.4 million based on the formula chosen to dole out the money. Under Newsom’s plan, the 13 biggest cities in Los Angeles County, continuums of care and all counties would get money.

But under a plan by the state legislature, money would only go to the state’s 13 biggest cities and continuums of care. Under that scenario Pasadena would receive about $1.4 million.

The PTJC is currently collecting signatures to place a rent control ordinance on the ballot.

Pasadena, along with Long Beach and Glendale, is one of three cities designated a continuum of care in California. A continuum of care includes a planning body that coordinates housing, services and funding for homeless families and individuals.

“Since 1995 we have had a very strong commitment in the fight against homelessness,” said Bill Huang. “CoC’s receive federal dollars and creates and implements its own strong plan and has established its own resources and programs.

That’s why our numbers went down. We have been consistently focused on the issue.” n

REBORN IN

MUSIC A GUITAR MADE FROM A DROUGHT-DESTROYED DAWN REDWOOD IS THE FOCUS OF A CONCERT WITH GUITARIST LAURENCE JUBER AT THE ARBORETUM

BY BLISS BOWEN

W

hen drought felled a dawn redwood on the grounds of the LA County Arboretum in Arcadia two years ago, it seemed a portentous loss of one of the garden’s oldest trees. Thanks to luthier Dennis Hays, its life cycle is being extended through art. This Sunday at the Arboretum, Hays will talk about building a guitar from the tree’s wood and Laurence Juber will give a pop/jazz concert playing that instrument. And scientist Peter Del Tredici will discuss the tree’s history, which is richer than is widely understood.

The dawn redwood’s story reaches back to the fraught period just before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. According to Del Tredici, a Marin County native and senior research scientist emeritus at Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum in Cambridge, in 1941 a Japanese botanist discovered and named a “metasequoia” — a “living fossil” in rock. In 1943, a “weird conifer” was discovered in China, and a Harvard-educated Chinese botanist, after stumbling across a paper by the Japanese botanist, reached out to an American school chum who was now director at the Arnold Arboretum. World War II was raging across the globe, but leave it to botanists to value Mother Nature and peace over politics.

“He said, ‘We’d love to study this tree more but we don’t have any resources to collect it’ because it was in central China in a remote area,” Del Tredici recounts.

The Arnold Arboretum director sent $250 — “a small fortune in those days” — to collect more living specimens and seed, in exchange for which the Arnold received two pounds of dawn redwood seed. In 1948, as the Communist Revolution closed up China, the director distributed those seeds, collected the year before, “free of charge to 600 botanical gardens and interested individuals” around the world.

“Most of the original introduction of all the [dawn redwood] trees growing throughout North America as well as Europe essentially came from this one massive collection,” Del Tredici observes.

“Standing behind every tree is the ghost of the person who went to great lengths to bring it into cultivation. So the metasequoia has an amazing array of ghosts. If not for the fact that this guy had been a graduate student at Harvard and knew his good friend was now the director, and he could write to him and ask for money, none of this would have happened. Because China did not open again until the 1970s with Nixon; no Americans really went there until 1980. Had it not been serendipitously collected, and the seeds sent to the US in 1948, the tree never would have made it out of China.”

Flash forward to 2017 and serendipity continued playing a hand after the dawn redwood at the LA County Arboretum succumbed to drought. Hays, a woodworker inspired by post-war designer Sam Maloof, volunteers at the Maloof Foundation in Rancho Cucamonga. Because of that, the Arboretum invited him to create

artwork with a chunk of the redwood for its “Forces of Nature II” exhibit in late 2017.

For much of his career Hays made furniture, but more recently, “totally out of the blue,” he began building guitars. “It was just a fluke,” he says, “that my fi rst guitars were made out of rescued redwoods.” He retrieved some eucalyptus and “four large beams of the dawn redwood” — “air dried by nature” — and … let it sit.

“I really didn’t know what I was going to do with it,” Hays admits. “Quite frankly, I’d been making guitars for several years — I’ve probably made 40 in total — but I’d started back on my studio furniture making. A couple weeks before the show, I said, ‘I’ve gotta do something significant with the dawn redwood. I’m not a sculptor, I’m not an artist in that sense, so I’ll make a guitar’ — just a total ‘what the heck.’ And it turned out incredibly well. I’ve made a total now of five dawn redwood-topped guitars.”

Cedar, mahogany, maple, spruce, swamp ash and even koa are the usual woods of choice for guitar makers. Hays opts for walnut for his guitar bodies and necks, Spanish cedar for the interior bracing, and redwood for tonewood on the top: “It really does make the majority of the sound.”

Hays says he studied classical guitar forms for “dimensions, proportions, sizes” before creating his original design. He learned to play and now jams regularly with some friends. The redwood sounds beautiful, he says, but his main goal is to open minds.

“My main theme in all this rescue wood at the Arboretum is to try to highlight using unconventional stuff and getting out of the stereotypic mode that a lot of woodworkers have that you have to make a guitar with spruce top. No, you don’t,” he declares, adding that all his dawn redwood guitars are made “for the benefit of the Arboretum.”

As a scientist, Del Tredici has long studied the relationship between woody plants and their environment, and increasingly he’s focused on the effects of the climate crisis. In that context, the dawn redwood offers potentially more lessons as Southern California girds itself for a hotter, dryer future.

“Everybody makes these assumptions that the native species are the best adapted, and it’s true, they are very well adapted — to the conditions that used to exist,” he notes. “But what is going to adapt to the conditions that are going to happen in the future is an open question. So this whole idea of native and nonnative is a very thorny issue … In California, where the weather is changing, predictions are that in a lot of the savannah area, there’ll be more shrubs and grasslands than trees; there won’t be enough moisture to support tree growth over the long haul. You can see it in the San Gabriel Mountains. As you go to higher elevations, a lot of those trees have died already. It’s a huge problem. They just can’t tolerate the modern conditions.

“Botanic gardens provide a window [and] give you some inkling of the plants that will perform under changing conditions. That’s why it’s really important that we don’t just grow native plants, but keep collecting plants, and experimenting, looking for what’s going to make a good street tree in the future.”■ “Ancient Tree Reborn in Music” with Laurence Juber, Peter Del Tredici and Dennis Hays at the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden, 301 N. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia, 3-5 p.m. Sunday, June 23; tickets are $12 for Arboretum members/$15 for nonmembers.

O

ne of Pasadena’s few remaining soul food spots, Big Mama’s Rib Shack, will be closing their doors on July 20 following a change of ownership of the building they reside in.

First opened in 2002, Big Mama’s has established itself as a destination for soul food and live music with their Saturday night “Down and Dirty Blues.” The expansive Southern soul food menu is anchored by their signature Tennessee-style takes on fried chicken, ribs and catfish. They have Po’ boy sandwiches, hot links, sweet potato pies, and any Southern BBQ side one could imagine.

Soul food is one component in the long list of factors that will leave a hole in the city’s culinary landscape. The other draw is Big Mama’s own founder Dargin McWhorter; the gravel voiced 83-year-old Chattanooga native has become his own attraction. He came to California from Tennessee to get away from the segregated South with $12 in his pocket and not knowing a soul. With that small amount of cash and a drive to take care of his mother and siblings, he became a professional boxer, opened a recording studio and even co-produced a gold record.

He played quarterback on his college football team, owned a car dealership and ran three restaurants all based on his mother’s recipes. Even in his 80s Dargin still has a John Wayne stature and looks like he could still throw one of the uppercuts that earned him a Golden Gloves championship more than a half-century ago. Dargin has stories, and guests are happy to take Dargin’s trip

through history. As he sits and talks to one guest you can watch as a queue of guest’s eyes wait for Dargin to come to their table and regale them with his stories of his past lives.

When Dargin explains how he segued his Forrest Gump-like myriad careers and passions into the restaurant industry he offers an insight into Southern life, “Down South everyone makes their own sauce. They take pride in it,” Dargin says.

Always enterprising, Dargin saw that Southern California was nearly devoid of the soul-food classics and realized that he could bring to the area what he learned from his mother — the titular “Big Mama” — at her Chattanooga restaurant.

As Dargin entertains guests, his daughter — Dargetta Carlisle — runs the day to day operations of the store. Sitting with the father-daughter pair is like watching a comedy duo of yesteryear. While Dargin shares his stories that his daughter has likely heard countless times, she chimes in with one-liners that break up her father’s train of thought with a deep laughter.

Dargetta was born and raised in Pasadena, a byproduct of Pasadena’s public schools. She said she cannot imagine herself living in any other city or, more importantly, reopening Big Mama’s in any other city. She holds out hope that they will be able to find another spot within city limits so that they can continue bringing her grandmother’s recipes to people who enjoy them. Even if they find a kitchen without a storefront where they can continue to cater and serve through delivery services, they want to continue.

There are layers of authenticity to Big Mama’s.

The woman’s face that acts as the official mascot of Big Mama’s is not a stock image they bought the rights to. It is actually Dargin’s mother. It is a true McWhorter family affair between Dargin and Dargetta in the front of the house and Dargin’s wife Anita running the kitchen. They bake their pies and cornbread, and their fried chicken is done from scratch with their secret recipe batter.

So, before Big Mama’s shutters and the opportunity to visit one of the most authentic Southern experiences is gone, here are some recommendations to make your visit count. The famous fried chicken dinner ($12.75) is three pieces of chicken and two sides. The chicken is served the perfect shade of golden brown — while it has more than enough flavor to stand alone, it would not be true to the Southern roots if you did not pour some hot sauce on it. As for sides, the macaroni and cheese is served old school and simple, and hearty. There is no crunch or baked bread crumb top, just creamy, melted cheese, which is exactly what you want when nearly everything else has Cajun and Southern spices and batter. Big Mama’s has countless sides that aren’t found everywhere, so if you are like me, it may be hard to narrow it down. With how incredibly low priced the sides are, ordering more than the two that come with most entrees won't be too big of a hit on your wallet. You cannot go wrong with the hush puppies (five for $3.50), candied yams ($3.75), collard greens ($3.75), black eyed peas ($2.75), or the fried okra ($3.75).

Big Mama’s has traditionally Southern dishes, with recipes that came from someone born and raised in the deep South, so one should try some of the most traditional dishes they serve to really get the full experience. The oxtails ($21.95) carry a higher price tag than some of the other items, but with how seasoned and tender they are after slow cooking, the dish is worth every penny. If you are craving some New Orleans style fried seafood, the Creole combo ($25.95) is where it is at, it comes with two fried shrimp, two fried oysters, two pieces of fried catfish and fish with hush puppies, plus your choice of two sides. It honestly does not get more Southern than that. Pair it with one of the Louisiana-brewed Abita beers that they serve and you’ll essentially walk out with a subtle Cajun drawl and a yearning for the bayou life. And trust me, once you’ve had it you’ll keep your eyes open for when Big Mama’s hangs up another shingle in town.

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER

ETHICALLY BOUND

A THERAPIST MUST TREAT BDSM PATIENTS WITH RESPECT Dear Patti, My husband and I both agree that we have a good relationship, but recently we felt like we were drifting apart and started going to couples therapy. We specifically wanted to work on our intimacy and better communication with each other. I thought the sessions were going pretty good until the third time. I admitted that I had long buried sexual fantasies about being dominated and tied up. I felt very vulnerable admitting I was interested in domination and bondage, but I wanted to know how my husband felt about it. I was secretly hoping he might be into experimenting with some of my kinky desires, but I didn’t want to turn him off.

Instead of being supportive, it felt like the therapist insinuated that I was perverted for even having these ideas. She pushed for me to see her individually so we could look at my childhood history in order to figure out where this “urge to act out” stems from. I told her I didn’t like that she assumed I needed fixing, especially since I’m high functioning and not suffering from depression or anxiety.

Now, I no longer trust her to work with us as a couple and certainly not in individual therapy, which I wasn’t even seeking. I thought a therapist would create a safe place for me to open up with my husband, not make me feel defensive and judged. My husband was disappointed that we have to start all over again with a new therapist, but he actually seemed excited that I wanted to open up more to him.

I wish I could find a therapist that has similar kinky interests and might understand.

— Renee Dear Renee, Psychotherapy is a vulnerable, intimate journey traveled together by a patient (or two) and a therapist. In order to be effective and healing, there must be trust and support present. I understand that you had a negative experience, but I’m actually quite impressed with how you handled it. You spoke up immediately when you felt judged.

When it became clear that the issue wasn’t going to be resolved, you left but you didn’t give up, and you’re still looking for another couples therapist.

A significant number of adult Americans engage in consensual sexual behaviors that involve bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism (collectively abbreviated BDSM). It is important that a professional therapist who treats couples that are interested or involved in BDSM understand the difference between abuse, violence, and BDSM, differentiating between pathological and nonpathological behavior. A therapist needs to be able to recognize the difference between clinically significant psychological distress and socially induced stress related to the BDSM interests. As you know yourself, it was stressful to open up to your husband and you felt the need to hide feelings long ago when they initially surfaced.

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for people interested in BDSM to experience stress related to being honest, internalized shame, relationship conflicts with existing partners, and as you experienced, opening up in therapy. Therefore, having an accepting therapist that can model a positive, supportive attitude is extremely beneficial and has intense therapeutic power.

Therapists are often encouraged by their peers to explore their own countertransference in order to be aware of how the therapy they provide is influenced by their own emotions, values, and biases. This is especially true when working with minority populations, such as patients involved with BDSM. Without an understanding of one’s own emotions, a therapist’s feelings of anger, worry, or fear can manifest into a deeply felt conviction that the patient’s behaviors are self-destructive, even without concrete diagnostic evidence that the patient is being harmed. When that’s the case, there is a good possibility that countertransference is occurring.

I understand your desire to be with a therapist with similar interests, but it has been shown that having an interest in BDSM alone is not enough to qualify someone to work with BDSM patients. Professional clinicians should have coursework, supervision, and specialty training related to BDSM patients before ever attempting to specialize in these issues therapeutically.

Patients who believe they are negatively judged by their therapists based upon their BDSM interests are less likely to share information openly, which limits the therapeutic bond and weakens the success of therapeutic interventions. Therefore, it is important that BDSM patients receive competent treatment including respect and positive regard.

I hope this information helps you in finding the right therapist. ■ 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.

HOME SALES

RECENT HOME CLOSINGS IN THE PASADENA WEEKLY FOOTPRINT source: CalREsource

A PLEA FOR HELP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 06

The Challenges Most of these houses are in poor or deplorable condition — due to the lack of maintenance on the part of Caltrans. As mentioned above, many have been vacant for years. Most properties need new plumbing and new gas and electrical systems. Most, if not all, of the structures will need to be seismically upgraded. Foundations will need attention and may need to be rebuilt. Many will need new roofs and all will need to be treated for termites and other pests. Most properties will need to be painted and to have some minimal landscaping work.

Tenants or anyone planning to purchase a Caltrans house will need fi nancing, which will be very difficult, if not impossible, to fi nd with these houses not meeting code and in such poor condition. Buyers in the affordable ranges will have their own set of challenges.

Caltrans is Failing to Protect Current Tenants Caltrans continues to raise rents and is forcing tenants out — sometimes by refusing to accept rent payments — and then leaving the property vacant and subject to vandalism, etc. The tragic part is that many of these tenants can no longer fi nd affordable housing in the area, are forced to leave the area, or live in their cars and/or become homeless. After everything that the current tenants have suffered through the years, they do not deserve this treatment. Instead, Caltrans should immediately freeze the rents. It is widely believed that Caltrans is trying to ”empty” the 710 Corridor so that it might sell all the properties at market rate. These practices are cruel and unfair and must end immediately.

Our State’s Critical Housing Shortage These days, California newspapers report every day on the worst housing shortage — market-rate, workforce, moderate and low income — in the history of our State. A recent article reports on a Riverside County family that is moving to Idaho to achieve its share of the American Dream of home ownership. The husband was quoted: “It is not affordable to own a house anymore!” The article concludes that the family is: “among thousands who are being priced out of the market due to the limited number of homes for sale and the relentlessly rising home prices.”

With over 450 houses already planned for sale, which are suited to various levels of housing needs, Caltrans should help address this critical housing shortage by prioritizing the sales process of its real estate in the former 710 Corridor.

In Conclusion We strongly urge that Caltrans arrange to meet with the mayors and their housing officials in the three communities — Pasadena, South Pasadena and Los Angeles — and to work in cooperation with them to develop a plan for the sale of the Caltrans properties.

Here are a few ideas: - The cities and Caltrans could identify and retain contractors to bring the houses up to code - Caltrans should provide funds for the cities to oversee the work on the properties - The cities could recommend several local real estate companies to assist with the timely sale of the properties - CalHFA should be approached for help with the affordable sales - Local experienced nonprofit housing organizations could assist with the affordable sales - Caltrans must comply with the Roberti Bill, created to protect the tenants and their neighborhoods - Caltrans should consider selling properties to the nonprofits along the corridor at the price that Caltrans originally paid for the property - Vacant land should be zoned for affordable housing — when possible These are difficult times for the Caltrans tenants, the adjacent neighborhoods and the cities. We look to you for your strong leadership to help us. We all need to see the 500 properties sold in a fair and timely way — and as soon as possible.

Thank you for this opportunity to bring these important issues to your attention. ■ Claire W. Bogaard and Janice Soohoo are members of the No 710 Action Committee.

MEMBERS OF GLENDALE-BASED 7HORSE ESCAPE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY MACHINE AND RECLAIM THEIR CAREERS

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

P

hil Leavitt has been in the music industry for three decades, first banging the drums for the band dada for over 25 years and since 2011 as the lead singer and drummer for its offshoot sister band 7Horse. He’s seen the heights of stardom as dada scored the worldwide hit “Dizz Knee Land” with its debut album and attendant world tours, and revealed a tenacious ability to survive the turbulent music industry as the band continued to maintain a successful cult following all the way until 2017.

Now, however, Leavitt and his 7Horse bandmate Joie Calio (who also played in dada and shares vocal duties and plays lead guitar) have decided to turn their careers upside down and beat the record

business machine at their own game. They have already achieved some impressive successes, with their 2012 song “Meth Lab Zoso Sticker” having been chosen as the de facto theme song of “The Wolf of Wall Street” by director Martin Scorsese himself in addition to having their songs used in 55 other TV shows and films.

With their current album “Superfecta” and a string of standalone singles they are releasing throughout this summer, they have doubled down on the DIY approach and expanded the album’s release with the surprisingly ever-growing fan demand. They will also kick off the start of a planned tour next Thursday, June 27, at the Viper Room on Sunset Boulevard, in a show that also employs their new

approach of taking full control.

“In the past, we played clubs and had a booking agent call the promoter, the promoter made a deal with a lowball guarantee that covers our expenses and then they promote the show,” explains Leavitt. “They have an email list of everyone who comes through the ticketing site, and then they hit ticket buyers with a $15 price for the promoter, and another $15 in fees that we as a band don’t even see.

“Then they hit their email list to push the show, which could be everyone who bought a ticket for bands from Pantera to Mariah Carey, so they’re casting a wide net, which often doesn’t work,” adds Leavitt. “The fans are paying inflated ticket prices and it’s tough to get word out about the gigs. So we’ve changed the whole approach. We rented the Viper Room out and we’re running the tickets through our web site with no fees added. It’s $25 and we hope our audiences will support that, and we’re looking to change the paradigm of how these work. We basically said no, we’re not doing that.”

The key to all the changes is social media, which has placed power in the hands of bands and other performers worldwide to take charge of their own destiny, rather than relying on major corporate and media gatekeepers to give them attention. Despite the fact that they’ve received regular airplay on more than 50 radio stations nationwide, 7Horse isn’t counting on radio to advance their careers anymore. They are banking nearly everything on the Viper Room show, believing that “If we can prove it in Los Angeles, we’ll do it elsewhere for everybody else who wants to see us.”

“Do you still want to see live rock and roll?” asks Leavitt. “We need an answer on that.

We have everything riding on this one, so it’s a big one for us.”

Despite the fact that 7Horse has two of the three members of dada in it, Leavitt notes that their sonic stylings are different. He regards dada as “a very cerebral band, with music that hits you from the neck up, while 7Horse was created to hit you from the waist down, the belt down.”

As such, 7Horse is intended as a rock band with a heavy blues edge, while mixing 1960s British Invasion influences with some modern rock touches. They’ve broadened their sound on “Superfecta” by adding Brian Whelan as a multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist.

“It was a necessity to change our sound from dada,” says Leavitt. “We were trying to make a dada record in 2010 and were in the middle of it and were scheduled in studio and the guitar player told us he wasn’t available and had another project that would take up all his time. Out of that frustration, we already had the time set aside and our engineer at the time said why don’t you guys just come in?

“Joie and had been talking about it, we’d been listening to a lot of blues, early rock and roll, and figured it’ll give us something to do,” he adds. “And out of that session came the ‘Zoso’ song. Sometimes the best songs come from creativity borne out of frustration. You gotta get it out rather than keep it pent up.”

Since then, 7Horse has toured both on its own and occasionally along with playing sets of dada songs in a 25th anniversary tour in 2017 when former member Mike Gurley was able to join them for a run of shows. There’s been “a lot of van rides over thousands of miles,” with

Leavitt’s wife along for the ride as their tour manager and merchandise salesperson, but Leavitt is happy to have Glendale as his home base.

“I like living here, on this side of LA, where it’s a little more open and less congested,” says Leavitt. “I’m near the 2 Freeway, which is the access to everything. I’m close to Dodger Stadium and love that. Joie’s in Seattle, but he lives in my house when he’s down here. We get together as much as we can.” ■ 7Horse will play with Killer Country opening at 8 p.m. June 27 at the Viper Room, 8852 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Visit 7horsemusic.com.

Gray Area

SIERRA MADRE RESIDENT LISA VERLO’S COMEDIC ‘MUSICAL MEMOIR’ ‘HOLLYWOODN’T’ SOLO SHOW AT HOLLYWOOD FRINGE INCLUDES SONGS WRITTEN WITH HUBBY FRANK SIMES, CANDID TALK ABOUT SEX, HOLLYWOOD AND THE SPACE BETWEEN COERCION AND CONSENT

L

isa Verlo wanted to write a musical about sex — a family musical, that is, with sex education elements. The longtime Sierra Madre resident writes musicals with her husband, Frank Simes (aka musical director for the Who), and at the time she was also separately writing about skeletons in the closets of certain Norwegian ancestors. Somehow those distinct thought trains merged and picked up speed on a new set of tracks.

What arose from that was “Sex Rated G,” a onewoman show with music she performed at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which mixed Verlo’s personal history with “statistics, and commentary on body shaming.” Two years later, as the #MeToo tidal wave roared across the globe, she began retooling “Sex” with details from her own past as an actress, a change encouraged by director Jessica Lynn Johnson.

Verlo is performing her “musical memoir,” retitled “Hollywoodn’t,” this Saturday and Wednesday as part of the Hollywood Fringe festival.

She laughs now at how much her healthy, curious teenage self “just wanted to look at naked pictures in the library.” While working on her show, she explains, “I ended up writing sexual memoirs. I had a very strange introduction to sex. From 16 to 21, I was with the same guy, my first boyfriend. We decided to wait until I was 18 to go on the pill, and then we moved out to LA together [from Michigan]. It ended up he was into S&M, but young and innocent.”

18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.20.19

Landing in LA with said boyfriend and dreams of being an actress, Verlo studied at the Lee Strasburg Institute, and wrote letters to her “top 10 directors,” including Warren Beatty, who answered and, after lengthy conversation, invited her to a meeting at his house. Beatty comes across as relatively generous, in Verlo’s telling, but other characters she subsequently encountered were far less so.

“I would be asked to compromise my values, basically, for a part,” she recalls. “I never did any porn but I did an AFI film where they asked me to take my top off because I was to play a 15-year-old girl and I was 24.”

She agreed, thinking it was an art film. But when the grad student director drove her to the first screening, she says, “he totally molested me. I fought him off enough to have it not go further, but he was the director of the first movie I was in. I was really bummed because I thought he had a girlfriend and I thought it was safe.”

Researching what happened to that director before performing an earlier incarnation of “Hollywoodn’t” at last year’s Fringe, Verlo learned he was a college professor — and had been arrested: “He had molested women in two or three colleges but nobody reported him. He was finally brought up on [charges of] actually having a sexual performance by a child. He did time, but only on weekends, and he’s out already.”

That discovery galvanized her. Statistics were out of the script; the creepy director, his mind games, and some creatively deployed Barbie and Ken dolls were

in. Refocused on her sexual awakening and personal experiences, the new “Hollywoodn’t” confronts the “gray area” of coercion and consent. Verlo wants to take it on the college circuit.

Onstage, she calls out Hollywood associates who professionally enable sexual predators. One is a woman, an acting teacher who advised the ingénue to sleep with Beatty: “You’ve probably done it for less, and he’s known for using a lot of women in his movies that he sleeps with.”

“She was kind of jaded — like, this is what goes on. But I wasn’t, because I had only been with one boyfriend,” Verlo insists, laughing. “I had not done it for less!”

That exchange inspired one of the hour-long show’s songs, the tongue-incheek “You’ve Done It for Less,” whose slinky beat evokes tacky lounges and cheap drinks:

“So he wants a little kiss, big deal Then he wants you to undress, get real …

Run out and buy some lingerie To hang on that fine line between work and play And bask in the glory of being pursued It’s all in the moves and the attitude” “I could have made a misery out of it,” Verlo acknowledges, but a little laughter helps process weighty themes. And she still enjoys her teenage self’s sexual curiosity and love of flirtation. Bottom line: we need “a new language, a new vocabulary — not just a verbal vocabulary, but a physical vocabulary” about consent.

“I feel like this is very cathartic, finally being able to come clean — not just as a person with my experiences, but even with myself. I started uncovering all the ways I had framed all these things that happened, just to feel OK about it. That’s also why my show [asks], what have we been conditioned to accept as inevitable? We were all just so conditioned. Child molestation is all about grooming. But we are groomed as a culture, by our media, to accept certain behavior and certain standards. …

“What’s really amazing about doing this show: We uncover more and more all the time. You go deeper and deeper. Because when you really go for the truth of what’s underneath the motivations, that’s where you get the gold. That’s where you start resonating with others.” n Lisa Verlo performs “Hollywoodn’t” for ages 17+ at the Lounge Theatre, 6201 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood, at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 22, and Wednesday, June 26; $22.

Magic With a Message ILLUSIONIST IVAN AMODEI BRINGS LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC TO THE ALEX THEATRE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI You have to be one hell of a magician to confound the legendary magic duo of Penn & Teller on their CW network TV show “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” but Ivan Amodei is one of the few to have accomplished just that. In the past couple of years, he has parlayed that achievement into a fast-rising career that brings him to the stage of the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale on Saturday night.

Titled “Secrets & Illusions,” the show features Amodei leading audiences on an epic journey to discover the secrets of life.

Set on the dark and deserted streets of Paris, audiences will enter the legendary Louvre Museum, where an enchanting musical muse escorts them through galleries, while Ivan uncovers life’s greatest mysteries deep inside the priceless works of art, one dazzling illusion at a time.

The 90-minute spectacular focuses on providing “magic with a message,” and displays Amodei’s signature style of thought-provoking vignettes, audience participation, and storytelling.

“The show isn’t just magic tricks, it actually has parts that address important life things like facing fears, making choices and finding love all in a funny way with illusions that support the mes20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.20.19

sage,” says Amodei. “I say ‘we’re gonna face your fear today,’ and a spectator comes on stage and we play Russian Roulette with a 12 inch hunting knife hidden in a paper bag straight up and you have to decide which one to slam your hand into.

“There’ll be a large butcher knife with a 12-inch blade, hidden under a paper bag drilled into a stand so the blade is straight up,” Amodei continues. “I cover the entire stand and knife with a paper bag and put the identical ones that are empty there too, then mix them up on the table so we don’t know which is which. And I tell her the game is slam hand on the bag and then come to which one will have the knife. Most people run out and I have to get a second participant. That just adds to the suspense, and the whole point is to face your fears.”

The 45-year-old Amodei was born in Sicily and moved to the US at the age of two, becoming fascinated by magic when he saw a family friend performing tricks when he was 5. He first started performing small-group magic as a waiter to earn better tips while saving for college, then moved on to parlor-size audiences before going fully professional with large-scale crowds.

Rather than waiting for gigs to come

to him or languishing at a day job and performing at parties for side money, Amodei created a full-fledged show after college and took the risk of selling tickets to theaters he rented.

“The show’s illusions are demonstrations of messages in life, not a magic show where I put a girl in a box and saw her in half,” says Amodei.

“This is a show about thinking about the messages and facing your fears.

The participation allows the show to go in a different direction. It’s a show that actually will help inspire you to move on to the next level of your life.

“A lot of people are stuck and don’t know what they want to do,” he concludes. “This is about how you can achieve more and demonstrate and prove what I’m saying is right. All of the show’s illusions have premises in them, including finding love, purpose in life, why are you on this planet, your destiny.

What if you said yes to that job, no to that job, move to this state? Things that actually prove certain things about life.

It’s a really different show.” n Ivan Amodei performs “Secrets & Illusions” at 7:30 p.m. Sat. at the Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale. Tickets are $35 to $85. Call (818) 243-2539 or visit alextheatre.org.

Jimmie Fails, left, and Jonathan Majors in “The Last Black Man in San Francisco“

I

t’s no secret that San Francisco is beset with all manner of troubles these days, from rampant homelessness to terribly unsanitary conditions in much of its prime locations. Yet its huge hills and beautiful historic architecture still hold a magical allure for millions, and a young actor-writer named Jimmie Fails makes a dramatic stand for its preservation in the stunning new drama “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.”

Fails has come out of seemingly nowhere with the film, in which he plays a somewhat fictional version of himself and co-wrote the story with his best friend and director, Joe Talbot. The story follows Fails and his best friend, Monty (Jonathan Majors), as Jimmie tries desperate and inventive measures to reclaim his childhood home after 12 years when its owners are forced to leave the premises.

Jimmie has had the deck stacked against him his entire life, with a mother who abandoned him years ago and a father who is a former junkie and subsists by making and selling pirated DVDs in a dingy hotel room. Monty is stuck working in a fish shop while dreaming of becoming a playwright, and spends much of his time outside of work listening to the conversations and arguments of the people he sees on the streets around him.

When Jimmie realizes that the older white couple who took over the house when his family fell apart are being evicted due to a familial property dispute, he and Monty break in and start squatting there. He has always been told his grandfather built the fantastical house, and even manages to reclaim his grandfather’s assortment of odd furniture and other possessions to fill its massive empty space.

On the one hand, this brings Jimmie great happiness. On the other, it also creates a

slow-building tension as they struggle to remain unnoticed and wonder when the other shoe is going to drop.

“Last” doesn’t rely much on conventional narrative, but rather is a mesmerizing visual poem and mood piece that grabs viewers from the start and never lets go. Co-writer and director Joe Talbot, the real Fails’ reallife best friend, kicks things off with an aweinspiring opening sequence in which Jimmie and Monty hop on the same skateboard and soar through the streets of San Francisco on their way to work.

As they zip through the streets and soar up and down its incredible hills, numerous images of the people they pass are freezeframed or slow-motioned as they stare at the two young friends flying by. This visual trick and many others are employed by Talbot throughout the film, creating a unique look from start to finish that recalls and even surpasses the dazzling cinematography of Spike Lee’s visionary early work.

With Emile Mosseri’s stirring musical score that combines orchestral power with a jazzy undertone, “Last” becomes a feast for the senses. Fails is making his literal feature film debut here as both writer and actor, and the result caused a sensation at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

In fact, The Hollywood Reporter critic Todd McCarthy regarded it as “by far the best narrative film I saw at Sundance…Every scene is fresh and unpredictable, visual poetry and realism are exquisitely woven together.” Such high praise is richly deserved, and if you’re looking for an intelligent and compelling film amid the bombast of summer blockbusters, this is likely your best bet of the season. n

STEVE MERMELL City Manager Dated: June 4, 2019 (Authorized by City Attorney) Publish: June 13 & 20, 2019 Pasadena Weekly City of Pasadena Notice of Public Hearing City Council 2019 Public Health Goals Report on Water Quality PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose of the hearing is for Pasadena City Council to consider staff’s recommen-

dation to accept and approve the 2019 Public Health Goals (ìPHGî) Report.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will hold a public hearing to receive testimony, oral and written, and make a determination on Pasadena Water and Power’s 2019 PHG Report. The hearing is scheduled for: Date: August 26, 2019 Time: 7:00 p.m.

Place: Pasadena City Hall Council Chambers, Room S249 100 North Garfield Avenue ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: California Health and Safety Code Section 116470 (b) requires water utilities that serve more than 10,000 service connections to prepare a PHG Report every three years in addition to the annual Consumer Confidence Report. The PHG Report must contain information on the ìdetectionî of any contaminants at concentrations greater than the PHG or the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (ìMCLGî) set for the contaminant. The purpose of the legislation, which establishes this requirement, is to provide consumers with information on levels of contaminants that are even below the enforceable mandatory Maximum Contaminant Level (ìMCLî) so they are aware of whatever risks that might be posed by the presence of such constituents. ?PHG The Public Health Goal is a non-enforceable goal. It is a ìrisk assessmentî value that estimates the lowest concentration of a substance which would not pose a significant public health risk. It is determined solely on health effects. The PHG is set by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. ?MCLG The Maximum Contaminant Level Goal is a non-enforceable standard. It is a ìrisk assessmentî value that estimates the lowest concentration of a substance which would not pose a significant public health risk. It is determined solely on health effects. The MCLG is set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. ?MCL The Maximum Contaminant Level is a legally enforceable standard.

It is a ìrisk managementî value which is as close to the PHG or MCLG as technologically and economically feasible. For example, if the PHG is set at a concentration that is too small to measure, the MCL cannot be set at the PHG. If the Best Available Technology (ìBATî) for the removal of a contaminant can only reduce the concentration to a certain amount, the MCL cannot be set below that value.

All Community Water Systems (ìCWSî) must comply with the MCL. PUBLIC INFORMATION: Any interested party or their representative may appear at the meeting and comment on the project. Written comments may also be mailed to the City Clerk’s office (100 N. Garfield Avenue, Room S228, Pasadena CA 91101) for transmittal to the City Council. If you wish to challenge this matter in court you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or written correspondence delivered to the hearing body, at or prior to the public hearing.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-650064RY. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any

incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.

This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.
