Re: “Cause for Concern: Council members and developer want testing for toxins possibly left by weapons research at proposed housing site,” May 9 I was over at Kaiser Medical offices on Foothill last week and parked my car on the top deck of the garage. This would be a wonderful spot to have video cameras set up (along with air monitors) to view the Space Bank property and capture chemical movement in the air, as well as the flow of any dust generated by the project, and to observe that proper methods are being used as proclaimed in the RAW (removal action workplan) for the project.

This location would test movement of dust flow for a portion of the property — north, east and south. At the same time, a camera and air monitors at the west end of the building could capture air flow to the west, south and north, getting a complete measure of the RAW process and making sure the process is safe for the public.

I think another public meeting should be planned to hear answers to questions asked by the public and share any other information that might be of concern. Research has provided spotty records from the state Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) investigation.

OBVIOUS SOLUTION Co2 levels, worldwide, have reached a disastrous level everywhere.

Without a fast solution, we may be going the way of Venus, no exaggeration intended.

There is an obvious solution, folks: trees. Trees thrive on Co2. In return, they produce oxygen. So, the obvious solution is for everyone in the nation, who can do so, to get out and plant trees anywhere and

everywhere.

During World War II, millions of citizens around the nation, both children and adults, went out and collected scrap metal and old tires. Millions of tons of scrap metal were collected. Millions of old tires were collected. The government was fully behind this effort and had signs in every school and every meeting place encouraging people to collect and turn in scrap metal and old tires.

What we need right now is the same type of effort used in World War II, with the government helping out in the following ways: 1) Provide bags of seeds (for trees that absorb the most Co2, while producing the most oxygen) to all citizens who can or will be able to plant same. 2) Provide clear instructions on what to do and how to do it. 3) Distribute free seeds in all schools and community centers nationwide.

Can we do the foregoing?

Only if everyone starts bringing it to the attention of the president, as well as their state and federal representatives.

Write letters, make phone calls, send out e-mails. Don’t just sit there folks. For God’s sake, DO SOMETHING!

Otherwise Earth really will begin to resemble Venus! ~ JOHN JAY VIA EMAIL

MIND YOUR DOG’S BUSINESS Why is it that dog owners always take their dogs to other people’s lawns to “do their business?” This seems to be the premise of walking a dog: While you’re at it, why not go on a stranger’s lawn?

I suggest dog owners let their dog go on their own grass, then take the relieved animal for a stroll. ~ AL WISEMAN VIA EMAIL

FROM FACEBOOK: Re: “Wrong Answer: Punishing cities that plan in good faith is not the solution to our housing crisis,” by Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek, June 13 This just highlights a major part of the problem. Four times the amount of permits for “above moderate” income housing and zero meaningful data on moderate to affordable housing. Anyone know what Pasadena deems a “moderate” income? “Since January 2014, Pasadena has approved over 2,700 new residential units, and an additional 2,600 new residential units are currently under review. These projects have resulted in the issuance of permits for nearly four times Pasadena’s regional allocation for above-moderate income units, and we continue to make meaningful progress toward meeting our allocations for lower income households.”

Kris Perera Unfortunately, developers, builders and most human beings are in it to make maximum profit.

Donna Reid Bignell But why does every single new apartment building seem to be “luxury” housing? Or condos?

If even half the new housing were affordable there would be some proof that Pasadena is working on the housing crisis.

•GUEST OPINION•

BY ROBERT M. NELSON AND MARGUERITE RENNER

THE LEADERSHIP CRISIS

NOW IS THE TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO CONSIDER A SANDERS-WARREN TICKET The Democratic presidential debates of 2019 are under way. The early debates span two nights because of the large number of candidates. By December there will have been six debates. We can expect that the field will narrow as voters becomes better acquainted with the candidates.

The debates are sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) which is the legal authority for all Democratic Party organizations throughout the country.

The DNC is officially neutral in these debates but, as in the past, the preferences of the party insiders are being “loudly whispered” by local elected officials, many of whom depend on the Democratic establishment for campaign support.

Recently, many presidential candidates previewed their campaigns at the California Democratic Party state convention in San Francisco. Fourteen of the candidates spoke to 3,000 Democratic activist delegates from around the state. The candidates made earnest presentations to the delegates describing the problems facing society and proposing programmatic solutions to those problems.

It’s About Wealth Polarization, Stupid!

It’s hardly a secret that wealth has become concentrated in the hands of fewer people since the start of the Clinton administration 30 years ago. Clinton’s North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) exported hundreds of thousands of middleclass jobs to overseas sweatshops. At home, displaced workers were reduced to working part-time jobs in the “gig economy” without health care or retirement benefits.

Banks sold financial aid packages to students and lobbied for tuition increases at public colleges and universities. New college graduates found the loan repayments were scandalously high. This set the stage for the Democratic campaigns of 2016 and today.

In response to the crisis, a precious few of the Democratic candidates offer dramatic solutions.

In 2016 the sole critic of NAFTA, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, proposed a $15 an hour minimum wage, Medicare for all, and a return to a highly graduated progressive income tax. He also proposed enlightened social concepts such as abolition of the death penalty and criminal justice reform. Sanders did not get the Democratic nomination but he attracted a loyal following.

Sanders is back again in the 2020 campaign but this time he has a competitive colleague in the presidential quest — Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Warren’s core economic proposal is a wealth tax. This dramatic concept would support society with a tax on accumulated wealth — not just income. Accumulated wealth over generations creates the ruling class of a capitalist system. In the past, the estate tax served as a minor damper on this effect. However, it has been cut significantly starting in the 1990s and the cuts continue to today.

We now live in a highly stratified society.

The Circular Firing Squad Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, while Warren is a very progressive capitalist. Combined, they represent the left progressive end of the 2020 Democratic party debate. They are constantly pressured by the news media to distinguish themselves from each other. Both Warren and Sanders refuse to do this.

The political left has a remarkable pattern of turning on itself rather than looking outward. This is often called the “circular firing squad with guns pointed inward.”

Instead, Sanders and Warren concentrate their focus on the problems of capitalist society and offer programs to address them.

The Old Establishment Late last year, many local elected Democrats began whispering loudly that they had a preferred Democratic ticket for 2020 — Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. However, this contrived marriage has experienced a rocky start. For example, Biden, was a longtime supporter of the Hyde amendment which prohibited the poor from access to women’s health care services. He changed his position a few days after the California Democratic Party convention in an apparent nod to his possible running mate.

Harris did address the delegates but she was overshadowed by Warren, who spoke in the same session. In keeping with the Warren-Sanders non-aggression pact, Sanders chose not to speak the same day.

Biden, the favorite of party insiders, ducked the California convention, missing the opportunity to expose himself to the 3,000 Democratic Party activists. Voters will have ample opportunity to schmooze with Biden later — at lavish fundraisers in homes located west of La Cienega Boulevard and north of the I-10 freeway.

As we absorb the debate, perhaps we should think about a Sanders-Warren ticket and its program for America. They advocate ideas whose time has come. ■ The authors are members of the California Democratic Party Central Committee and founding members of the Democratic Socialists of America.

CASUALTIES OF THE WAR ON DRUGS DEMAND A SHARE OF CITY’S CANNABIS BOUNTY

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

A

s more states legalize marijuana and private companies begin applying for licenses to sell their wares in upscale places like Pasadena, minority leaders are demanding that communities of color share in the wealth of the billion-dollar industry — a once illegal drug turned lucrative product that for years has led to the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans and Latinos.

Earlier this month, Pasadena officials announced the selection of six businesses leading the city into the now legitimate world of selling weed. They are: Integral Associates Dena, Tony Fong, the Atrium Group, Harvest Pasadena, Sweetflower Pasadena and MME Pasadena Retail. The six were top scorers among the applicants in Pasadena and can now begin the process of obtaining permits to sell marijuana in Pasadena.

However, all six owners proposed Old Pasadena locations for their businesses, leading to calls for social equity by activists, who insist that minority communities unfairly impacted by the war on drugs should be able to share in the wealth now that marijuana is legal.

“I appreciate that some members of our community would like to see social equity/community benefits play a larger role in the selection process or perhaps serve as the sole determinate and I have met with several people who hold this view, and I respect their opinions,” City Manager Steve Mermell told the Pasadena Weekly. “Nevertheless, I believe we have struck the right balance for our city through a fair and transparent process.”

Based on public input, the city modified its requirements and

On the heels of an announcement by President Donald Trump that 2,000 undocumented immigrants would be rounded up in 10 cities, one of them Los Angeles, All Saints Church in Pasadena has promised sanctuary to those who fear deportation.

“All Saints Church condemns these raids and the actions of President Trump which authorized them,” said Rector Mike Kinman. “Any individuals or families who are targeted by ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] for deportation will be provided sanctuary in our sacred space.”

Pre-dawn raids and arrests were scheduled to take place this week, according to CNN, but on Sunday Trump tweeted that he was putting them off for two weeks while he worked with Democrats on immigration issues.

“At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the illegal immigration removal process (deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the asylum and loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, deportations start,” the president said.

While All Saints does perform as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, Pasadena is not a sanctuary city, a term which has no legal definition.

In 2017, the City Council unanimously passed an official resolution declaring that “The city of Pasadena will not enforce federal immigration laws and the city manager will ensure that all city policies are consistent with this declaration.”

According to CNN, ICE was also scheduled to make arrests in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Miami, New Orleans, New York, and San Francisco.

After the news broke, some cities immediately fired back, saying they wouldn’t cooperate with the raids and warned residents to make sure they had functional locks on their doors. Residents are not required to open their doors to officials from ICE unless they have a warrant signed by a judge.

“This action by our government is the worst of fear-mongering and white supremacy,” Kinman wrote. “Beloved, productive and irreplaceable images of God, including many from our own Pasadena and All Saints community, once again have to fear that they will have their families torn apart, perhaps forever, which causes devastating harm to them and the communities of which they are a part. It is an unconscionable use of fear to continue to divide our nation for political purposes.”

included categories on “social equity and community benefits in the application and asked specifically how cannabis owners would ensure that persons most harmed by cannabis criminalization and poverty through a share in the ownership, management, employment or other benefits resulting in high quality, well-paying jobs and/or other benefits,” Mermell said.

According to the applications of the six businesses chosen, only the Atrium Group has a clear social equity plan.

Atrium plans to hold seminars to teach local residents convicted of marijuana crimes how to expunge their records. Further, the group has also partnered with Ideal Youth, and will provide job training for local youth.

“Cannabis criminalization and its enforcement has had a long-term impact on low-income and minority community members in the city of Pasadena and throughout our nation,” said Ismael Trone, head of the nonprofit organization that will work with the Atrium Group. “For the city of Pasadena to incorporate social equity into its application process is a giant step toward repairing the harm caused by the war on drugs and disparate enforcement of cannabis prohibition.”

Integral Associates, the applicant that scored the highest in the city’s process, will form a group led by former City Councilman and current Chamber of Commerce CEO Paul Little. Little told the Pasadena Weekly social equity would be a major part of the group’s focus.

“The idea is to help them negotiate the community and help them with social equity,” Little said. “We will be figuring out how they are going to support the community and how they are going to implement hiring and have as much of an impact on the local community as possible.”

In its application, the company also said it would hire a law firm to ensure that communities hit hardest by the war on drugs would benefit from the company’s presence in Pasadena.

According to a 2009 story by Jake Armstrong appearing in the Pasadena Weekly, between 2004 and 2008 African Americans accounted for more than half of all marijuana arrests in Pasadena — three times the number of whites and almost twice the number of Latinos — though blacks made up only 14 percent of the city’s population.

Black residents were arrested on felony marijuana charges in Pasadena at far higher percentages than any other ethnic group, having been charged with more than half of all felony marijuana arrests since 2004, though nearly 90 percent of the marijuana-related offenses during that period were misdemeanors.

According to recent studies, California arrest rates for marijuana-related crimes have declined dramatically since legalization, but the stark racial disparity remains in place as black people were still

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge postponed a trial over a lawsuit filed against the Los Angeles County Flood Control District’s so-called “Big Dig” project in the reservoir Tim Brick of Devil’s Gate Dam, located in Hahamongna Watershed Park, ruling the county did not provide enough time for people to comment on the project’s environmental impact report.

The Flood Control District is currently in the early stages of removing 1.7 million cubic yards of sediment and debris that has accumulated in the dam’s reservoir — a project that could last four years and require daily hauling of up to 475 truckloads of dirt.

Tim Brick, managing director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, which along with the Pasadena Audubon sued the district, said the foundation agreed to the postponement because it was not its intention to stop the sediment removal project.

“Our goal has been to minimize the negative aspects of the project, such as noise, dust, traffic and air pollution, and to ensure that the resulting Hahamongna management program is ongoing and protects the unique environmental values of the area,” said Brick, who is also a member of the Metropolitan Water District board of directors.

“We want the county to treat the Arroyo Seco like a river and to implement nature-based solutions that will serve our region well as we face climate change and the challenges of nature,” Brick said in a prepared statement.

If the two sides cannot develop an agreement, Judge James Chalfant will hear oral arguments on July 30 regarding the tentative ruling. If he finalizes the tentative decision, he will order the Flood Control District to revise and recirculate the project’s EIR and set aside or vacate the project’s approvals. All project activity would then cease pending revision of the project’s environmental document.

The Arroyo Seco Foundation and the Pasadena Audubon Society are expected to work with county flood control officials to develop a comprehensive settlement agreement.

“The Pasadena Audubon Society is gratified that the court recognizes that the county has failed to work transparently with the public, despite their frequent claims to the contrary,” said Laura Solomon, president of the Pasadena Audubon Society.

“We hope that the county will do its job to protect the land, the birds, and the people by shrinking the size of the permanent footprint of the project, using the cleanest trucks possible to move the sediment, and truly restoring the Hahamongna basin, especially the nesting habitat they have destroyed,” Solomon said. n

BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR AMERICAFEST RETURNS TO THE ROSE BOWL JULY 4TH

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Pasadena will once again celebrate Independence Day at the Rose Bowl with AmericaFest, the West Coast’s largest fireworks show.

The 93rd annual Americafest event, which will include Darryl Dunn live music, veterans’ tributes, motocross stunts and a massive fireworks display, starts at 7 p.m. in the stadium, 1001 Rose Bowl Drive.

The show is among the oldest fireworks shows in LA County, and the Rose Bowl was recently recognized by Los Angeles Magazine as one of the best places in LA to watch fireworks.

“It’s exciting because this year’s Rose Bowl AmericaFest celebration will feature the largest fireworks display in the western United States,” said Darryl Dunn, Rose Bowl general manager. “This year will be the Southland’s biggest and most exciting musical pyrotechnic show as we celebrate our nation’s birthday.”

The event will honor the Disney remake of “The Lion King,” which hits theaters on July 19. Several Southland choirs will be on hand to sing songs from the film.

The new film blends live-action, state-of-the-art virtual-reality techniques and computer generated imagery to bring the iconic characters to life in a whole different way. Walt Disney Records’ highly acclaimed a cappella group DCappella joins the celebration. The award-winning USC a capella group Socal VoCals will also perform.

The show will also pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest moments in American history with a preview from “Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show,” an experience that takes visitors from countdown to launch of the giant Saturn V rocket to the moon.

In addition, TNT Freestyle Motocross returns to take to the air, performing gasp-inducing motorcycle stunts.

The stadium parking lot opens at noon, and the Family Fun Zone in Area H opens at 2 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m.

Performances begin at 7 p.m. and the fireworks kick off at 9 p.m. Admission is $15 to $30, children under 5 are free. No charge for active military and three family members.

three times as likely as whites to be arrested in 2016.

“As white people exploit the changing tide on marijuana, the racism that drove its prohibition is ignored,” Vincent M. Southerland, executive director of NYU Law’s Center on Race, Inequality and the Law, and Johanna B. Steinberg of the Bronx Defenders, recently wrote for The New York Times.

“So are the consequences for black communities, where the war on drugs is most heavily waged.”

In March, African-American lawmakers in New York announced they would block a push to legalize recreational marijuana in New York unless people of color were guaranteed a share of the industry. They want to be assured that some of that money will go toward job training programs, and that minority entrepreneurs will receive licenses to cultivate or sell marijuana.

According to Assemblywoman Crystal PeoplesStokes, the first African-American woman to serve as Assembly majority leader in New York, all 10 states that have established laws legalizing cannabis, including California, made the same mistake.

“I haven’t seen anyone do it correctly,” she told The New York Times.

“They thought we were going to trust that at the end of the day, these communities would be invested in. But that’s not something I want to trust,” she continued. “If it’s not required in the statute [in New York], then it won’t happen.”

Trone called on the city to do more.

“Social equity goals should be to promote equitable ownership and employment opportunities in the cannabis industry to decrease disparities in life outcomes for marginalized communities. Ideal Youth research into the career opportunities in the cannabis industry has led the organization to embrace the cannabis industry as a legitimate career path and inform local parents and society as a whole to also embrace the cannabis industry as a career path,” Trone said.

Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco and Long Beach have established social equity cannabis programs.

Last year, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation — the California Cannabis Equity Act of 2018 — intended to help municipalities increase participation in the programs. Lawmakers have allocated $10 million toward the effort.

“There are so many opportunities in the cannabis industry for young, motivated, bright minds,” Trone said. “It’s a great opportunity for young adults to get into a growing dynamic field and learn so much about so many different industries. Cannabis is a stimulating learning environment because it touches on so many different industries such as legal, political, financial, retail, agricultural, marketing, science, etc. These opportunities provide young people a peek into how these disciplines interact and make cannabis ideal for career growth.” n

( GIDDYUP GIDDYUP,, CROWN CITY SLICKERS ) PASADENA MUSEUM OF HISTORY CELEBRATES CITY’S BIRTHDAY WITH AN AFTERNOON OF WILD WEST FUN

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

P

asadena is a colorful city that has unlimited opportunities to celebrate its unique qualities, and each June the Pasadena Museum of History (PMH) hosts a party that creates a year’s worth of memories for one and all. This Sunday, the museum will outdo itself with an afternoon fi lled with Western and cowboy-themed fun as it hosts the city’s official 133rd birthday party, tied to its current exhibit, “Giddyup! Children Take the Reins.”

The jam-packed afternoon of entertainment and activities includes a colossal cake designed by Baja Ranch Supermarket Pasadena to feed the anticipated 1,500 guests, as well as performances by five-time international trick roping record holder Christy Lewis and the chance to rope a wooden steer. But the fun doesn’t stop there, as attendees can clap their hands and stomp their feet to classic Western and cowboy songs, or climb aboard and explore an authentic reproduction of a Wells Fargo Concord Stagecoach , one of America’s most legendary vehicles.

The Crown City Chorus will entertain the crowds with barbershop renditions of favorite Western tunes, while Art 2 Go’s Miss Helen, “The Fastest Crafter in the West!” will help attendees create their own custom cowboy hats. Add in the chance to do gold panning, have water splashing fun with “Pump and Splash” and meet Mayor Terry Tornek and his trusty deputies, and your family will be galloping back home as happy campers.

“This theme was picked in conjunction with our exhibit, which is called ‘Giddyup! Children Take the Reins,’ an amazing collection of carousel, rock-

ing and hobby horses all designed for children,” says Brad Macneil, the PHM director of education and public programming, who’s overseeing the day’s grand festivities. “A local collector named Lourinda Gray has them and loaned them to us for the exhibit. Since there are all these horses we went with a Western theme of ‘Yahoo!

Happy Birthday Pasadena!’

“We’ll be turning the grounds into a Western world with world champion trick ropers, gold panning, line dance lessons, the Wells Fargo stagecoach, the Crown City Chorus singing cowboy and western songs,” adds Macneil. “There’s a lot going on.”

Macneil notes that Gray, who lives in Pasadena, also helped another PMH exhibit years ago by supplying carousel animals. He notes that “carousels are disappearing because of insurance and various other issues,” yet Gray has spent decades collecting and restoring them herself.

She maintains a warehouse in the Duarte area where she keeps them all and works on them.

Running through Sept. 15, the “Giddyup!” exhibit contains more than 35 smaller-scaled carousel horses and exotic creatures that visitors of all ages will be able to see and touch. An enchanting photo booth features a carousel polar bear designed by J.R. Anderson circa 1920 that children and adults can climb on for a keepsake photo, and plenty of other creatures that kids can climb on as

they rock, bounce and roll.

The goal is to bring back awareness of a time when carousels enabled children to imitate their favorite movie cowboys. Gray’s Running Horse studio in Irwindale houses memorabilia and carousel figures of all sizes from her collection, particularly from the Golden Age of carousels from 1861 to 1920, within its 7,000 square feet, and she carefully restores figures for other collectors and operational carousels as well.

“This is the official birthday party for the city and we’ve been doing this many years,” notes Macneil. “The fi rst big one we did was the 125th anniversary of the city and this is the 133rd. It’s very family oriented and a way to celebrate the history of the city.

“The city was incorporated in June 1886 and that’s why we always have it in June,” he continues. “We have a lot of community partners that come in and help us. We have a cake sponsored by Baja Ranch Supermarket. We expect 1,500 to 2,000 people, so it’s a big cake. We’re fortunate to get the Wells Fargo stagecoach here too, and many community groups like the Jaycees having tables sharing information. Most will have interactive activities for people to visit, so no one will be left looking for ways to have fun.” ■ “Yahoo! Happy Birthday Pasadena” runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Pasadena Museum of History, 470 W. Walnut St., Pasadena. Admission is free. Call (626) 577-1660 or visit pasadenahistory.org.

AS STRONG AS THEY ARE MAJESTIC, CLYDESDALES HAVE PLAYED A PROUD ROLE IN PASADENA HISTORY

BY SHEILA MENDES COLEMAN

I

t’s an awesome love-at-first-sight moment; that first glimpse of those powerful hooves, the beefy flanks that support them prancing in rhythm with each other. Their gallop is steady and sure, and every movement seems to exude purpose and regality.

They are the mighty Clydesdale horses, and they have achieved rock star status in the equine world and beyond. That’s not simply because they are beautiful and magnificent to behold, or because they’ve appeared in more than 60 Rose Parades since 1954, but because their strength and history of service to man is legendary.

Lampits Mare The Clydesdale horse began its storied history in Lanarkshire, Scotland in an area through which the Clyde River flows, known then as Clydesdale. Flemish stallions imported to the region were bred with local mares, resulting in a genetically superior horse. The farmers of Lanarkshire recognized at the time the horse’s might and versatility in helping them work the land and utilized the horses in agriculture, for hauling coal, and other heavy-hauling duties. In 1806, a filly later referred to as “Lampits Mare,” so named for the owner’s farm, was born and began a lineage of pedigreed Clydesdales that traced back to a group of black stallions originally imported from England. It is Lampits Mare that is listed in the ancestry of virtually every Clydesdale alive today. Once a successful breeding program was established in the late 19th century and early 20th century, the horses were soon exported to America, Northern England, New Zealand and Australia and became such a force in the latter country it was often referred to as “the breed that built Australia,” according to the Clydesdale Horse Society.

Considered invaluable to pre-industrial farmers, Clydesdales were known for their sturdy build, patience, docile temperament and ability to perform arduous hauling tasks on the farm. These traits have continued in its lineage, making them as strong as they are beautiful. The hardy draft horses are even-tempered and easily trainable, often being called “gentle giants.”

In addition to their easily recognizable gait and handsome profile, the Clydesdale is also well-known for the substantial “feather” it sports — the long hairs of the lower leg that cover the hooves and, according to the Anheuser Busch website, are “capable of pulling a 1-ton load at 5 MPH.” In 1905, in an effort to escape the chilly climes of their St. Louis and New York homes, Adolphus Busch purchased a stately home in Pasadena near Arroyo Seco Canyon. The home, known as “Ivy Wall,” was designed by architect Frederick Roehrig and located on South Orange Grove Avenue. The Busch family’s

dream to develop the arroyo behind their property into scenic walking gardens and trails for the public soon came to fruition, and by 1909 it had become an immensely popular tourist attraction to the area and included “Triangle Trolley Trips” from the gardens to Santa Monica and oil fields in Los Angeles. After Adolphus’ death in 1913, his widow Lilly, daughter of partner Eberhard Anheuser, continued the tradition of public access to the gardens until her death in 1928, when they were closed for some time.

In August 1933, August A. Busch Jr. and Adolphus Busch III gifted their father, German immigrant August Anheuser Busch Sr. with a six-horse Clydesdale hitch carrying the first case of post-Prohibition beer to celebrate the end of America’s dry period. Legend has it the elder Busch was so moved by the gesture he was brought to tears, hence the term “crying in your beer.”

Busch Sr. recognized the enormous marketing and public relations potential of these gorgeous beasts of burden, and it was then that he devised a plan to send them across the country as goodwill ambassadors for the Budweiser brand, and to mark the end of the country’s ban on alcohol from 1920 to 1933.

In the 1950s the spotted Dalmatian became the official mascot for the Clydesdale. Over a half-century later, these charming canine companions continue their partnership with the Clydesdales and you can find a Dalmatian seated next to the driver on each hitch. Currently, three teams of Clydesdales travel the United States. These teams, also known as “hitches” are the Western Hitch, based in Colorado, the Eastern Hitch, located in New Hampshire, with the remaining hitch stationed at the brand’s birthplace in St. Louis, Missouri. Ten horses travel on each team, with eight harnessed for performances and two used as alternates.

Transporting each hitch requires three 50-foot semi-trucks, two for the horses, and the last one for the emblematic red, white and gold beer wagon, a modified Studebaker originally manufactured in the 1900s.

The Budweiser Clydesdales participated in the Rose Parade, pulling the City of St. Louis float, from 1954 until 2011, and reappeared again in 2014, this time pulling the emblematic Budweiser beer wagon. They now pull the Wells Fargo Stagecoach. Today, the mighty Clydesdale continues to delight, and much of Pasadena’s history along Orange Grove is owed to the Busch family and their legacy of public works. Indeed, a significant portion of what we now consider Old Pasadena is built on the remnants of the horse farms and acreage that surrounded their beloved “Ivy Wall.”

Jeannette Collier, committee services manager for the Tournament of Roses, says of them succinctly, “They are a crowd favorite. Their presence is majestic.” ■ 06.27.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 13

( BIRDS OF A DIFFERENT FEATHER ) THERE ONCE WAS A TIME WHEN TOURISTS COULD ACTUALLY RIDE OSTRICHES IN SOUTH PASADENA

BY JANA J. MONJI

L

ong before the ostentation of Arcadia’s noisy peacocks gained infamy and the pandemonium of parrots squawked their way through Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley, there was a bird of another feather that had tourists flocking to South Pasadena: ostriches. The ungainly, flightless birds were once like the goose that laid golden eggs, but it was feathers that made them valuable.

The enterprising Edwin Cawston opened the farm in 1886 near Norwalk, by importing 50 ostriches from South Africa. The birds made their way by boat to Texas and then came to the Los Angeles area by train. Only 18 survived. Yet, eventually the farm’s feathered friends numbered over 100 and the farm moved to South Pasadena in 1895. The whole enterprise might seem like madness today, but during the late 19th century wings, breasts and whole birds (small ones) were popular flourishes to hats. Ostrich feather plumes were in such high demand that ostrich farms were lucrative businesses in South Africa.

According to KCET, a single bird could produce $250 in feathers in one year. English naturalist Charles Sketchley opened Southern California’s first farm in 1883 in Los Angeles but closed in 1889.

Cawston, on the other hand, was so successful that he used his South Pasadena location, which was conveniently located along the Pacific Electric interurban railway, for tourism. At the Pasadena farm, tourists could pay to ride in carriages drawn by an ostrich or the braver ones could actually ride one bareback. The gift shop sold feather boas and other ostrich feather souvenirs. Cawston had another location in Perris for breeding.

The market for ostrich plumes plummeted in the 1910s, but the tourist trade kept Cawston’s going until 1934. This type of amusement farm was doomed anyway because in 1954 Disneyland opened in Anaheim. Orange County — once the ostrich capital of the nation during the ostrich feather heyday, according to the OC Weekly — was the site of an ostrich farm revival, according to a 1994 LA Times article about an ostrich farmer who thought they were the protein of the future, but that farm has vanished.

14 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.27.19

One used to be able to get an ostrich burger at Jake’s of Pasadena in Old Pas, but Jake’s closed in 2015. Fuddruckers also used to offer an ostrich burger, but the Pasadena location closed, too, although you might be able to get ostrich at some Fuddruckers (Fuddruckers Exotic Burgers) but that depends upon the location. If you gander a taste of the feathered fl ightless fowl that formerly made its home in South Pasadena, you can try Harmony Farms (harmonyfarmsca.com) in La Crescenta (2824 Foothill Blvd., 818/248-3068). The closest farm with herds of these birds is OstrichlandUSA (ostrichlandusa.com), near Solvang. No ostrich rides (bareback or otherwise) are available, but you can get some ostrich jerky, emu eggs and feather dusters, You can still visit the location of the South Pasadena farm, but while the outside has mostly been preserved, the animals inside have changed to humans. The site of the historic Cawston Ostrich Farm (1010 Sycamore Ave.) was redeveloped in 2006 into 53 live/work loft condos, fittingly named Ostrich Farm Lofts. The ostriches may be gone, but one can still celebrate Pasadena and its unique history by dressing up in one’s fi nery and flapping one’s wings while dancing like no one’s looking.

Happy Birthday, Pasadena. ■

( RIDING HIGH ) HORSES LEND A SENSE OF STYLE AND ADVENTURE TO THE ANNUAL ROSE PARADE

BY KEVIN UHRICH

O

n New Year’s Day 1994, instead of riding in a car or a carriage, William “Capt. Kirk” Shatner, an avid equestrian, boldly went where few Rose Parade grand marshals had ever gone before.

Shatner rode one of his own horses down Colorado Boulevard, a chestnut-colored gelding once named “I Prefer Roses,” bred on a ranch the star owned in Kentucky. Along the way, the then 62-year-old actor doffed his cowboy-style hat and waved to the throngs of spectators and fans lining both sides of the 5.5-milelong parade route.

Shatner must have felt right at home on horseback leading the annual parade, which every year since its inception has featured either horses pulling floats or renowned equestrian riders. In the modern era, some of those teams have included, among other participants, the New Buffalo Soldiers, the US Marine Corps, and the Wells Fargo Stagecoach and Budweiser beer wagon, the latter two pulled by magnificent Clydesdales.

In fact, a few days prior to each year’s parade, Wells Fargo Bank presents Equestfest at the LA Equestrian Center on Riverside Drive in Burbank, near Griffith Park, illustrating just how important horses remain to “America’s New Year’s Day Celebration,” as the Tournament of Roses has come to call the floral spectacular.

Soon after 1890, the year the parade started, Tournament officials initiated the Never on Sunday rule, thinking not so much about observing some blue law, or ordinance that prohibits such things as the sale of alcohol and working, but the danger posed by horses being spooked as folks left services from the many churches that line protions of the boulevard.

In 1901, motorized floats were introduced and would become an integral part of each parade since then. But in those days, the noisy, smoky contraptions were placed in the rear of the parade,

again in order to keep them from scaring the horses.

By 1920, horses were still a big part of the pageant, only by this time floats operating on gasoline- or electricity-powered motors had taken over the duties of propelling the flower-bedecked floats along the parade route, according to the Tournament. And over the years, the parade’s equestrian entries have become more professional and more stylized.

Some of the units that have participated in Equestfest, according to the Tournament, include the Clydesdales of the First Cavalry Division from Fort Hood, Texas, USC mascot Traveler, the Sons and Daughters of the Reel West, and the California State Fire Fighters Association.

Former Rose Parade announcer Bob Eubanks, a rodeo cowboy at one point in his long show business career, and Shawn Parr have served as announcers of Equestfest over the years. Montie Montana, a Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame member and a rodeo trick rider and trick roper, was a perennial entry in the annual parade. The actor and stuntman rode in 60 parades until his death in May 1998.

The lineup for 2020 is not yet complete, but over the past decade riding teams have ranged in size from 23 in 2010 to as few as 16 in 2014, according to the Tournament. Equestrian teams marching in last year’s parade numbered 18 and, in alphabetical order, included: • 1st Cavalry Division, Horse Cavalry Detachment (Fort Hood, Texas) CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

“It will defi nitely be an adventure,” Shatner told United Press International (UPI).

Prior to the 1994 parade, he had changed the original name of the horse he was riding on to “I Prefer Montana,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

“I’m truly honored. My family and friends will share in the excitement.

I’ll be seeing the (Rose Bowl football) game from the 50-yard line. It’s almost too good to be true,” said the actor.

The truth was, this was not Shatner’s fi rst rodeo, er, Rose Parade. In 1969, he rode in the parade on a non-“Star Trek” float, according to the Times and YouTube, and in 2004 he appeared in a documentary about the parade with former parade announcer Stephanie Edwards.

In the authoritative voice that he used as Capt. Kirk on TV in the 1960s, and in six “Star Trek” fi lms from 1979 to 1991, Shatner told UPI in October 1993, “The fantastic adventure will be shared by the 1 million people who come out to watch the parade as well as the half a billion who will see it on TV.” But, he said, “Most of all, the fantastic adventure will be mine.” ■

( RACING TOWARD TOMORROW ) IN SPITE OF ITS RECENT TROUBLES, HISTORY-DRENCHED SANTA ANITA PARK CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS A CULTURAL HUB

BY CELENE VARGAS

P

erhaps no other cultural institution in Southern California better exemplifies our fascination with and love of horses than Santa Anita Park. Yes, it’s having many problems now, with 30 horses since December being injured while running on the track and later euthanized. But since opening in 1934, Santa Anita has been a national hub of competitive horse racing action.

While the original racetrack was opened in 1907 by Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin in what is now known as Arcadia Park, the Santa Anita we know today dates back to late 1934 when San Francisco dentist Charles H. Strub and movie mogul Hal Roach re-opened the track in its current location, just a few blocks away from the old one, after the legalization of pari-mutuel gambling the prior year.

Santa Anita’s rich history was foretold when its 1930s inception found success despite the Great Depression. Just months after opening, the fi rst Santa Anita Handicap had a purse of $100,000, a previously unheard of amount that equals about $1.8 million today. Referred to as the “Hundred-Grander,” the Santa Anita Handicap quickly became one of the top races in the nation.

Santa Anita Park soon became a part of Hollywood movie history when the 1937 classic “A Day at the Races” featured the Marx Bros. wreaking havoc at the park. Santa

Anita went on to be used in a variety of other fi lms, such as “Public Enemies,” the movie starring Johnny Depp as Depression-era American gangster John Dillinger, and, of course the movie “Seabiscuit,” starring Tobey Maguire.

By 1940, legendary racehorse Seabiscuit had made a name for itself and cemented itself as part of Santa Anita’s history. It won that year’s handicap after two previous attempts and a 1939 injury that many thought would be the end of the horse’s career. In 1941, a life-size statue of the horse was installed in the park and still stands there today.

Of course, all history has a dark side and the racetrack is no exception. As also noted in a recent PW story about the park, in 1942 Santa Anita was used to process up to 22,000 Japanese-Americans and housed them in converted horse stalls and in barracks before sending them to internment camps.

Fast-forwarding to 1969, the park saw another historical moment made even more pivotal considering the cultural climate when Tuesdee Testa became the fi rst female jockey to win at a major American racetrack after winning at Santa Anita on March 1.

The park continued to flex its prestige when it not only hosted the equestrian events for the 1984 Olympic Summer Games but also the Breeders’ Cup World Championships in 1986. The latter is an international event that features CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

06.27.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 17

RACING TOWARD TOMORROW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

the world’s greatest horses, jockeys and trainers with a winning prize of $1 million.

It wouldn’t be the last time the park would host this event.

The introduction of the Tokyo City Cup at Santa Anita in 2005, a celebration of its sister track in Japan, expanded the park’s reach. In turn, every summer Ohi Racecourse holds “Santa Anita Week” and features the ”Santa Anita Trophy,” a one mile G3 race.

Even though the park is still a major spot for horse-racing, times have changed and so have the avenues of entertainment.

No longer do families pack a lunch to watch a race in droves.

While Santa Anita Park struggles to resolve and overcome its horses’ injuries and fatalities, with both members of the public and political figures calling for the suspension of races, at the very least until a thorough investigation is done, the racetrack will remain as a major part of the community’s identity through its history alone.

What remains to be seen, aside from how the park will implement or respond to potential new safety measures, is how the park will evolve to help shape the future of the community. Some recent events have included hosting pop-up food stalls, which garnered new community interest. Maybe this can be a new way people can continue to picnic at the races. ■ 18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.27.19

Another I Vegan Adventure

GREEN EARTH VEGAN CUISINE BOASTS A MENU ALL CAN ENJOY

BY EVELYN GARCIA PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO

n recent weeks I have been attempting to change my diet for health reasons, to eat more gluten-free, dairy-free food (cue the eye rolls), although I’m not very strict and this job allows me what I would consider “cheat days,” making it all the more enjoyable. Ironically, I wound up on another vegan adventure this week, which was not entirely intentional.

After some time revisiting the website of Green Earth Vegan Cuisine in Old Pasadena, and again salivating over photos they’ve posted, I decided it was finally time to try it.

When I walked in the first thing I noticed on the back wall in the center of the room were a couple of rows containing books on vegan dieting.

Cookbooks, clinical studies and firsthand accounts of people who converted to a vegan diet, all on display. Although I wasn’t sure if diners were free to grab one, I began to understand Green Earth Vegan Cuisine is not like the hipster, “cool” overpriced vegan spots that strive for Instagram likes and popularity. In fact, Green Earth doesn’t seem to have a large presence on social media at all, but it is still one of the better-known restaurants in the area, and has a huge following of all kinds of dieters.

There were only two other parties in the restaurant, so my friend and I were seated right away. Their menu is so extensive, with a large array of choices, that I genuinely had a hard time deciding on appetizers. My

friend, on the other hand, is one of the most carnivorous people I know, so he was just along for the experience and had me lead the way. We went with the quinoa sushi ($9.50), rolls made with quinoa, carrots, cucumber, avocado and portabella mushroom wrapped in sushi nori. Both are glutenfree and soy-free, and were delicious. I love sushi, and while it is obviously not like the real thing it’s an amazing alternative for anyone missing it or who just wants to try a delicious quinoa roll.

Our favorite starters were the golden crispy rolls ($6), which were the equivalent to a veggie egg roll, minus the egg. They’re served with lettuce, cucumber, mint and Vietnamese vinaigrette.

Throughout the entirety of the meal our waiter was extremely helpful in answering questions we had, and as a lifelong vegetarian then later vegan himself, was very knowledgeable. When he brought over the crispy rolls he asked if we knew how to eat them Vietnamese style, and then showed us the proper way: Take a roll and roll it in a piece of lettuce along with a slice of cucumber and mint leaf, then dip it all into the vinaigrette. If I was served this blindfolded, I would have never guessed it was egg-less or filled with vegetables only, thanks to the overabundance of flavor packed into such a small roll.

To drink, I ordered lemonade made from freshly squeezed lemons ($4.50). Our waiter asked if it was too sour, but it was perfect, and my friend ordered a Thai iced tea with soy milk ($4). I had difficulty deciding on our main entree as well, because they have about every type of pastas (lasagna included), rice plates, noodles, ramen, pho, won tons, hot and cold salads, burgers and sandwiches, all with soy protein or tofu options. The possibilities were endless, yet somehow all I was craving were noodles. I asked about the pad Thai ($10) and he said that although it’s not listed on the menu, they are actually spicy, and I was sold. A few bites in I could definitely taste the kick, but a few more and I found myself alternating between water and my lemonade to find some relief for my tongue, which was on fire.

Still, I loved it. It is made with stir fry rice noodles

(which are gluten-free), tofu, mushrooms, carrots, bean sprouts and broccoli, garlic, all flavored with tamarind and topped with toasted peanuts.

It was hard to imagine that my friend’s gourmet burrito ($11) would be as good as my plate of spicy goodness, but it was. The burrito was made with textured vegetable protein seasoned to taste like beef, brown rice, lettuce, guacamole and pico de gallo, wrapped beautifully in a whole wheat tortilla served with a choice of fries or side salad. I had a few bites and couldn’t believe it. Surprise is a common reaction each time I venture into the world of vegan eats, and he was right there with me. Put simply, it tasted like it could be served at Taco Bell as “real” beef, only with much, much higher quality and far better ingredients, of course. I could go back just for the crispy rolls and the burrito and be one happy camper.

One thing is clear: Green Earth Vegan Cuisine does not skimp on the flavor. Every dish on their menu is made with a list of ingredients that harmoniously blend together in a way I know both tastes great and feels great.

Green Earth has a hefty list of desserts they make in house, but we wanted a few minutes to walk off our dinner, so we made our way across the street to Paradis Ice Cream. It’s a small shop with several locations across Southern California, but another I had yet to enjoy prior to that day. Upon entering, a staircase leads to an open seating area upstairs and immediately to the left is the glass casing filled with unique flavors. After taste testing a few, including the Oreo, which is typically my favorite, I decided to keep with the theme and got the cookie crumble vegan flavor in the single scoop ($4), which was delicious, and my friend got two scoops ($5.50) of the banana sundae and peanut butter bar.

Between an amazing dinner and tasty dessert that we enjoyed as we walked up and down Colorado Blvd., I was reminded yet again of how lucky we are to live in a city with some of the most well-known, sought after and hidden treasures in which to dine and share a special evening with loved ones.

GENTLE PARENTAL CUES SHOULD HELP SLOW DOWN ONE TODDLER AND DISINHIBIT ANOTHER

Dear Patti, My wife and I have adorable twin daughters, Poppy and Belle, who recently turned 2. They’re at an age where they’re now becoming more mobile, in control of their own bodies and able to make more choices for themselves. Poppy is a totally free and fearless spirit and toddles off as fast and as far as she can without even a backward glance at us; if not constantly watched, the situation can quickly become dangerous. Poppy loves to explore without regard for any boundaries. Accordingly, my wife and I have to chase her all the time or she’ll run clear across a large park or department store.

Belle, on the other hand, hides behind my wife’s skirt and won’t leave her for a second. She’s comfortable walking around as long as one or the other of us is walking right next to her. She will only explore if she can be reassured that her mom or I will stay close by.

So here we have one daughter who is extremely timid and another who is a complete risk-taker. We’re not sure if their respective behaviors are due to different innate personality traits, our own approaches to parenting, or if the girls are becoming polarized due to their relationship with each other. We see other children our daughters’ age and most of their behaviors appear to be somewhere in the middle between our two. We would like to teach Poppy boundaries and assist Belle in becoming more secure. My wife and I both value your opinion and want to know what you think.

— Liam Dear Liam, At approximately 18 months old, toddlers begin to gain a heightened awareness that they’re separate individuals and want to start exploring their environment.

This can be an exciting time for parents as they watch their children’s curiosity develop. If a parent repeatedly shows fear whenever an adventuresome streak emerges, however, the toddler might get the message that the world isn’t safe and can then become timid and afraid. Therefore, Poppy may need repeated and gentle boundary-setting that is without punishment or which induces no fear. It should be kept in mind that if a child turns for reassurance during these explorations and discovers the parent has left the room or isn’t paying attention, she or he may suddenly feel abandoned and start to exhibit “clingy” behaviors. Belle might have somehow learned insecurity about being on her own and, thus, needs gentle encouragement without giving her the message that her shyness is somehow bad or wrong.

While you and your wife should continue to take the girls out for excursions together, it might also be a good idea to take them out separately in order to support their individual needs.

You don’t want Belle to believe the world is a scary place, and although your concerns about her becoming more sociable and secure are valid, the problem may be nothing more than the fact that she’s still very young and experiencing different surroundings is something new to her. If you start pushing her too hard and insist that she go and play, it may escalate her tentativeness. Allow her to get comfortable and watch for Belle’s lead. Does she want to pet the kitty one foot away or go and play with another toddler nearby? Be quick to respond with encouragement. The words and body language you and your wife use should be free of tension or threat and convey to Belle that it’s her own choice to stay close or go play. If she’s still inhibited, arrange situations where there are toys or interesting situations available for her to explore a little farther away in a safe area. Always encourage very gently, never press, and give her all the time she needs. Let her take the lead and be quick to follow.

As for Poppy, her adventuresome personality is wonderful but she may need your singular concentration to teach her to listen to your guidelines in order for her to be safe. She may be spunky, but nonetheless she’s still barely much more than a baby. Do your best to get her under control in a calm and kindly manner. 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 offices in Pasadena, Santa Monica and Canoga Park.

‘DANGEROUS AND INSANE’ City to vigorously enforce fireworks ban during holiday

City officials are reminding local residents that they plan to hold people responsible for possessing, selling and discharging fireworks, including land owners who allow fireworks to be set off on their property.

The city maintains a zero-tolerance enforcement policy for fireworks, and Pasadena police officers and firefighters are teaming up for special fireworks enforcement patrols before, during and after the Fourth of July holiday. Violators are subject to arrest, having their vehicles impounded, a $50,000 fine and serving up to one year in jail.

National Fire Protection Association statistics reveal that 90 percent of all fireworks-related injuries are caused by so-called “safe and sane” fireworks, which are also illegal in Pasadena.

“Safe and sane fireworks is a marketing term,” said city Public Information Office Lisa Derderian. “They’re dangerous and insane and can cause injuries. Don’t risk jail time, expensive fines, having your car impounded or other serious penalties by taking risks. Leave the fireworks to the professionals.”

Pasadena police and fire personnel will staff checkpoints around the Rose Bowl to search for and seize any fireworks. Parking enforcement officers will ensure that vehicles illegally parked in Pasadena’s hillside areas on July 4 are impounded.

GIDDY GOODBYE South Pas Library Director Steve Fjeldsted retires with ‘End of the Beginning’ comedy night

The South Pasadena Public Library and the Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library will present the “End of the Beginning” standup comedy show in the Community Room on Thursday, June 27, at 7 p.m. The “clean yet clever,” family-friendly event will transform the stately historic venue into a comedy club filled with laughter. Doors for the allages event will open at 6:30 p.m.

The show will conclude longtime Library Director Steve Fjeldsted’s last day on the job. A native of La Crescenta, Fjeldsted has been in charge of the library for the past 13 years. During his tenure, he turned its community room into a regular hotbed of artistic activity including music concerts, film screenings with artist Q&A sessions and dramatic performances.

“South Pasadena is a highly educated, arts and cultural oriented community with so much talent around here and such an audience to pull from,” says Fjeldsted.

“We’re surrounded by these bigger cities and to get attention from people can cost a lot of money and effort, but a quick way to keep the library on people’s minds and attract people there is to do events and I like leaving on that with smiles and laughter.”

The Library Community Room is located at 1115 El Centro St. Refreshments will be served and no tickets or reservations are necessary. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and seats are limited. n

BETWEEN DARK AND LIGHT ROBERTO AGUIRRE-SACASA, THE MAN WHO CREATED ‘THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA’ AND RETOOLED ARCHIE COMICS, BRINGS ‘GOOD BOYS’ TO PASADENA PLAYHOUSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

A

s the creator of the hit CW network series “Riverdale” and the Netflix series “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” Roberto AguirreSacasa has reinvented the world of the long-running Archie comics to create dazzlingly original shows that have ascended to be two of the top five most popular programs on the planet right now. As a result, he recently scored an $80 million production deal to create even more series.

Yet prior to his current TV career and status overseeing Archie Comics’ TV and movie projects, Aguirre-Sacasa was an acclaimed playwright as well. In 2003, he wrote a play called “Good Boys and True,” about Brandon Hardy, a golden boy senior at St. Joseph’s Prep who is accused of being in a kinky sex tape. The accusation could shatter everything he’s worked for and his family reputation, and Brandon swears he’s not the boy in it — and the play follows him and his mother as they pull out all the stops to clear his name, which leads to the unearthing of shocking secrets that affect the entire school and their town.

Aguirre-Sacasa decided to use his newfound TV success to revive the passion project play, and is mounting it as “Good Boys” at the Pasadena Playhouse from Wednesday through July 21.

Speaking recently with the Pasadena Weekly, he shared the surpris28 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.27.19

ing inspiration for the play, how it’s more relevant than ever now in the #Metoo era and addressed the responsibility that comes with creating shows for impressionable young minds.

Pasadena Weekly: What was the genesis of the play and how did you decide to revive it now?

Aguirre-Sacasa: I wrote the first draft 15 years ago. It’s a play that’s set in a prep school, with its golden boy star athlete with great grades who’s president of his class and finds himself accused of a scandal. A videotape has been found of someone who looks like him having sex with a girl who goes to a public school, and the play’s sort of a mystery: Did this boy do it or not? Is he the guy on the tape? And the further mystery — if it was him, why was it him? It’s sort of about the boy and his mother having a huge reckoning about responsibility, morality and what constitutes acceptable and not acceptable behavior. It’s a prep school play like “Dead Poet’s Society” or “School Ties,” and a thriller about a mother trying to defend her son. I wrote it 15 years ago, and it has had productions, but it’s very rare for everything to come together and work perfectly. I started talking to [Playhouse artistic director] Danny Feldman after the Kavanaugh hearings, and said I want to do a little more

work on it, but he loved it and that led it to the Pasadena Playhouse.

Did this play come to you out of some sort of personal experience?

I went to an all-boys prep school just outside of DC where I grew up, but I never experienced anything like what is in the play. What started me writing about this was the Duke lacrosse scandal, where the team had a party where things got extremely questionable and accusations were flying. I want to say it was just about that, but these kinds of scandals are happening with alarming frequency. I wanted to write about my high school experience and sort of combined the two. On one hand it’s very personal about my time there, and on the other it’s about the phenomenon of young men behaving poorly in the rarefied atmosphere of prep school, which has always been a hothouse of testosterone, privilege and insecurity. So it’s both personal and in response to something that happens all too often. The Duke players, as far as I know, were totally exonerated, but the culture that enables it was put on trial, and that’s in the play too.

How were the current rewrites impacted by #METoo? The play is a period piece, set in 1989. Even the language we talk about — me too, toxic masculinity, check your privilege — these phrases didn’t exist back then. They were things you didn’t talk about or question and it’s unchecked. In that way it’s a period piece, very much an old boys’ locker room mentality, and not many people are challenging it. The main character, the mother, is challenging it but she’s very much a lone wolf on this. It’s not the revolution it is now. In the play she’s on her own, navigating these uncharted waters. She’s never been inside the gymnasium, locker room, coach’s office. In the play her husband always handled this, and he’s now out of town on a trip so she’s forced to get involved. Part of the challenge is asking is it possible to indict an entire system when it should be done on a case by case basis? The mother tries to blame the culture, saying, ‘My son wouldn’t have done this if not for the culture.’ The coach says, ‘Don’t kid yourself, there are a lot of kids in this culture who haven’t done anything remotely like what your son has been accused of doing.’ I agree there’s nothing more pressing and demanding to do than to look at the cases individually and judge as individuals.

“Riverdale” sparked some controversy by having occasionally racy sexual scenes between its teenage characters, and “Sabrina” was accused by some for depicting a teenage witch deciding whether to follow her family’s bloodline into working with Satan.

Yet “Riverdale” is extremely anti-drug and has basically good kids fighting evil, while

“Sabrina,” in its final episode thus far, shows her unequivocally acting against Satan and picking good over evil as well. What do you have to say to your critics?

It’s funny, I was raised Catholic, and I love scary movies like “The Omen,” “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Exorcist.” In many ways, “Sabrina” is much more wholesome and innocent than “Riverdale.” The kids feel like real teenagers, and I think the show needed that innocence and optimism to balance out the darker elements. If the teens were older and more sexually active like they are on “Riverdale,” you wouldn’t get the delicious contradiction of Sabrina, a young woman of 16 facing down the Dark Lord. It’s also about her family and always defending the underdog and her friends, so it’s hard to ignore that. You can find reason to be offended by anything, but when you really look at Sabrina it’s so clear that this isn’t reality, that she and her family love each other, and they fight for good even if they were raised to say ‘Hail Satan.’ If you’re looking for a cause to be offended, you will find it. But that’s not what the show is about. It’s really about a kid finding their place in the world.

To me the difference is the kids are in committed relationships in “Riverdale,” and hooking up is not a constant focus of the show. And you fight drugs with Archie. On “Euphoria,” there’s constant drugs, teen date rape, and a trans kid gets raped by a man.

Its creator laughs, saying they’re making the most messed up show imaginable to freak out parents. Where do you draw the line or feel responsibility?

I saw “Euphoria” when it premiered and I really, really enjoyed it and I thought going in it might be really nihilistic and I don’t want to see teenagers suffering. But I really enjoyed it, thought it well done and was captivated by it and the kids on the show. But “Riverdale” is so different from it. We’re so far from reality. It’s so heightened, we often get criticized because our kids are never in school — they’re running clubs, owning restaurants and solving murders.

It’s escapism. I think every artist draws the line with what they want to explore, depict and show. We’ve kind of gone there, we had one episode where Cheryl Blossom was slipped a mickey and was going to be date raped but the Pussycats showed up and beat the tar out of them. You have to decide what you want to put out there and what you want to say, but I’ve always been more interested in escapism and genre, crime and pulp. n “Good Boys” runs from Wed.-July 21 at the Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena.

’m exhausted.” “I can’t stay focused.” “It feels like a sledgehammer’s pounding me in the ground every day.”

I’ve heard and seen such comments in so many places, I’ve lost track of their frequency — every day, it feels like. No doubt you have heard and seen them too.

New variations on those themes circulate with each fresh round of norm-rocking headlines, and the cumulative effect of constant chaos will not be ignored. This is not normal; this is not in the same area code as normalcy. This is not on the grid. This is not even sane.

As a child in my grandparents’ home, I’d listen to my granddad play piano and sing in his hearty, ringing bass tones, and that would dispel whatever was disquieting my little girl mind.

As I grew older, I found solace in singing and jamming with friends.

share songs and stories that reestablish our communal horizon line and understanding. Fearsome warlords throughout the centuries have recognized this, engaging troubadours, dancers, poets and playwrights to bond their community and keep their torments at bay.

So a ticket to respite is promised by a night of old friends sharing songs and stories. This Saturday, that is precisely what Katy Moffatt, Mike Fleming, and Tom Corbett will be doing at Coffee Gallery Backstage. Granted, hearing Corbett cheerfully promise, “I’m gonna take you fishing, honey/ You’re gonna love it” over a chunky bluegrass mandolin riff is lightyears from medieval troubadours fawning over royals with ballads of courtly love, but times change, right? Hear, hear, and hallelujah for silly stuff too.

All three artists are familiar to local audiences, having performed numerous acoustic concerts in Pasadena-area venues over the years. Moffatt achieved renown in folk and

country circles beginning in the 1970s, garnering acclaim for her full-throated, emotional vocal style and tasteful albums such as 1993’s Tom Russell-produced “The Greatest Show on Earth” (aka “The Evangeline Hotel”) and 1999’s Dave Alvin-produced “Loose Diamond.” Fleming is perhaps best known as one-third of entertaining bluegrass-cowboygypsy jazz trio New West, winning awards for his songwriting and high regard for his onstage warmth and smooth harmonies.

Corbett’s a remarkable musician and generous spirit onstage and off, as comfortable accompanying guitar and mandolin students at the Topanga Banjo Fiddle Festival as he is fronting his own shows or backing the likes of John McEuen.

‘DAMES AT SEA’ BRINGS NOSTALGIC SUMMER FUN TO SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI The Sierra Madre Playhouse is beloved for producing enjoyable plays gilded in the charm of a small-town vibe. But it originated as a movie theater for the bucolic burg of roughly 11,000 citizens — a town so small that it still has only one stoplight — and this summer its programmers are weaving together both aspects of its rich cultural history by presenting the old-school musical “Dames at Sea” as well as a series of classic movies that inspired the style of “Dames” on Wednesday nights.

“Dames” follows the story of Ruby, an actress who hits the stage as a chorus girl but might wind up a star, in a musical comedy that is also a hilarious homage to the glamorous and hopeful musicals of the 1930s. According to director Joshua Finkel, the combination is bringing a full slate of summer fun to the theater’s small but hallowed stage as it runs through July 21.

“It’s going really, really well,” says Finkel, who is making his Playhouse debut with the production “What drew us to the show is it’s small and works for the kind of space we have. Part of 32 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.27.19

the creator’s message in the forward of the libretto says ‘think of this as Busby Berkeley but on a postage stamp.’ Part of the satire is to create the same effect of having thousands of people onstage with just six.

“It’s a tipping of the hat to movie musicals of the 1930s, and extremely American,” he continues. “Christian Lebano, the Playhouse’s artistic director, wants American theater by American playwrights and that’s his mission. It’s uniquely American, and what’s really cool is that they’re screening a movie series Wednesday nights of the movies ‘Dames’ is based on: ‘42nd Street,’ ‘Gold Diggers of 1933’ and ‘Footlight Parade,’ plus ‘Yankee Doodle Dandy.’”

“Yankee Doodle Dandy” will screen at 8 p.m. July 3, while “Footlight Parade” follows at 8 p.m. July 10. “42nd Street” closes out the series at 8 p.m.

July 17, with tickets to all three screenings available for $10 per movie.

Finkel notes that all those films had the same basic cast or filmmakers, with stars like Ruby Keeler, Guy Blondell and

James Cagney playing archetypes in archetypal plots. “Dames” is a takeoff of that style, as it “takes the stakes to crazy ridiculous situations the entire show, over one crazy long day of opening a Broadway show at the Hippodrome in the 1930s.”

“The Works Progress Administration is moving in to demolish the theater because the producer couldn’t pay the bills after 12 flops in a row, so at the end of act one, the theater is demolished while they’re singing ‘Good Times are Here to Stay,’” laughs Finkel, who met Lebano when they were students in the theater program of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “The second act is on a ship after they’ve moved the show there, which is ridiculous that they could move the locations and write a whole new score for it in just one day.

This is truly screwball level comedy.” n “Dames at Sea” runs through July 21 at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Tickets are $25 to $45.

Missing Music

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

LATE NIGHT

Stars: Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling Length: 102 minutes Directed by: Nisha Ganatra Rating: R This sharp yet relatable comedy follows what happens when a late-night host about to be put out to pasture (Thompson) hires a young superfan who appears to be just an unqualified diversity hire (Kaling) but winds up helping the host get her creative and fighting spirit back.

Wise and witty, it has characters to root for and a refreshing can-do spirit that's inspirational.

Grade: A

DANNY BOYLE’S COMIC MUSICAL FANTASY ‘YESTERDAY’ IMAGINES A WORLD WITHOUT THE BEATLES

THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO

Stars: Jimmie Fails,. Jonathan Majors Length: 121 minutes Directed by: Joe Talbot Rating: R A stunning acting debut by Fails, who also cowrote with director Talbot based on his own life story, this movie is a visually poetic ode to the title city as Fails breaks into and squats in the remarkable house he grew up in while the city changes around him unrecognizably. On every level, this is a unique artistic statement that recalls the earliest attention-getting works of Spike Lee at his best. Grade: A

ROCKETMAN

Y

ou probably can’t go to any civilized place on the planet without hearing the music of The Beatles on a daily basis. Their music has dominated the pop culture landscape for well over 50 years, with 27 No. 1 singles in the US alone, and well over 100 million albums sold.

But in “Yesterday” — the latest film from Danny Boyle, perhaps the most eclectic director working today (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “127 Hours,” “Trainspotting”)— a struggling young musician named Jack (Himesh Patel ) is ready to give up on his ambitions after a disastrous appearance at a music festival. His longtime friend and manager Ellie (Lily James) is heartbroken by his decision, and tries to convince him that a miracle might be just around the corner.

It turns out that she’s remarkably prescient, for while Jack rides his bike home that night, a worldwide power outage occurs for 12 seconds and he’s hit by a bus in the darkness. When he awakens in a hospital with his two front teeth missing, he also finds that no one around him knows who The Beatles are or recognizes any of their songs.

Searching the Internet, he finds that there are literally no references to The Beatles, and his record collection is devoid of their albums as well. The Rolling Stones exist, but the Beatles-derivative band Oasis has also been wiped off the planet’s collective consciousness.

Jack sees a golden opportunity in all of this, and proceeds to play from memory and record as many of the Fab Four’s tunes as he can, claiming the songs as his own.

He immediately finds himself on a rocket ride to fame, as presentday superstar Ed Sheeran (playing himself with comic aplomb) sees him on a local TV show and hires him as his opening act on tour. But when Jack starts getting more fan mania than Ed himself and Ed’s comically ruthless manager (Kate McKinnon) pushes to make him the biggest artist of all time, things start to get complicated on both his professional front and his relationship with Ellie.

“Yesterday” is a terrifically good time at the movies, with Boyle deftly handling the fantasy, comedy and romantic elements with total grace. Patel’s performance as Jack should be an instant star-maker for the actor, who has previously only worked in British television but has a magnetic ability to earn empathy for a character that might have just 36 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.27.19

Himesh Patel in “Yesterday“

seemed like a selfish con artist in the hands of most actors.

As Ellie, James is clearly channeling a young Keira Knightley with irresistible winsomeness, but the world needs more of that kind of delightful charm, especially when Knightley has matured into more complex roles. Sheeran brings surprising comical zing to his part, as he is increasingly baffled by Jack’s inexplicable ability to craft timeless classics like “The Long and Winding Road” in a bar bet on who can compose the best song within ten minutes. McKinnon brings a zesty sense of comic ruthlessness and greed to the table, delivering some of the funniest moments.

The screenplay by Richard Curtis— the mastermind of rom-com classics “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill” and “Love Actually”— stands up to that prior wonderful trio, grounding everything in relatable characters and, of course, ample opportunities to hear the greatest pop songs ever through the fresh voice and adaptations of Jack.

Curtis layers in some intriguing moral quandaries as well, as Jack lives in constant fear of someone catching on to his ruse, or the world suddenly remembering The Beatles again. Nearly everyone has faced a moment in life where they could get away with a scam or a shortcut that is highly questionable, and the way that Jack faces his is both moving and entertaining.

The film also provides some thoughtful insights into the creative process of great songwriting, as Jack and his producers put their own fresh tweaks on the tunes, turning “Help” into a revved-up rocker that sounds like a Ramones tune, for instance. And when Jack realizes he’s going to face questions about what inspired each song, he heads to key places like Liverpool to try and get his own understanding of places like Penny Lane and Eleanor Rigby’s grave.

But the most fascinating part of this unexpected charmer is being forced to consider what would happen if the whole world was deprived of The Beatles’ joyous music. “Yesterday” makes you appreciate the magical soundtrack their music has played in all our lives since the early 1960s, and will hopefully continue to color our lives for generations to come. n

“YESTERDAY”: A

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 selfacceptance. 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 Oscar-winner 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

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.

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 916939-0772 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-14-650064-RY. 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.

eficiary’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.
