RETRACTION

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

T

he Pasadena Weekly published a story dated May 14, 2020, with the headline “Local Tenants Blow the Whistle on Landlord Who Turned Off Water While Making Repairs on Empty Units,” which imputed, on Optimus’ part, malice toward or gross indifference to the tenants of the property. The imputation that the water shutoffs were intended to harass tenants is false.

Optimus acquired this building in early April. The large majority of the plumbing in the building remains from when it was built 50 years ago.

Almost immediately, Optimus was informed both by its general contractor and at least one independent expert that the plumbing and drainage systems constituted an imminent threat to the health and safety of the building, and the tenants (who, it should be noted, were largely sheltering at home, thus increasing the necessity that they be protected).

In just over a month of ownership, Optimus received no fewer than 13 complaints for plumbing-related issues; has had to deal with two major leaks; and has inherited a drainage system which is wholly inadequate for the entire building.

The water was shut off six times, one of which was an emergency shutoff caused by a pipe bursting. Of the remaining five shutoffs, two (those that occurred on May 7 and May 8) were in direct response to leaks in the water supply and drainage system. These repairs were directly as a result of specific tenant complaints. The final three were necessary and urgent repairs to the drainage system. These repairs, which occurred on April 24, April 30 and May 1, were to install sewer cut-outs, because the existing drainage system did not have them. The cut-outs are required to allow the landlord to gain access to the pipes in the event of a blockage. Without these cut-outs, the likely result would have been sewage backups into the sinks and toilets of the tenants, caused by blockages that could only be reached by drilling through sheer concrete, and possibly displacing tenants, who, in all likelihood, would not have had any place to go.

The renovations of the vacant units had no relation to the water shutoffs. Rather the shutoffs were necessary for imminently dangerous conditions of the entire property, and were performed by Optimus consistent with its principles of sound and prudent management, including minimization of disturbance of its tenants. In this case, however, there was simply no other alternative but to shut off the water to effect urgently needed repairs. n 07.09.20 | PASADENA WEEKLY 3

•LETTERS• POLICE REFORM: MORE THAN MERELY CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT

As an attorney in Pasadena for 40 years and as a mayor and council member for 12 years, I have seen both the good and the bad with the Pasadena Police Department. During my tenure as an elected public official, I fought hard to ensure public safety was our city’s top priority. And as an attorney, I have defended victims of Pasadena Police misconduct and have not been shy about criticizing our department’s shortcomings. I am a strong supporter of civilian oversight.

As the City Council struggles to address civilian oversight of our police department, missing from the current conversation is how to make Pasadena Police Department the model it once was for other agencies to follow.

Under the current leadership of John Perez and the command staff that he has assembled for our community has an opportunity to restore PPD’s former greatness. Chief Perez has demonstrated the insight, instinct and moral compass required to do so.

As our community moves forward, here’s what needs to be done…

There was a time when our salary for police officers and police sergeants was in the upper 25% of comparable cities. We now barely break 50%. If we want the best and the brightest, then we need to be prepared to pay for it.

California law sets the minimum standards for a peace officer at only being a high school graduate and passing a psychological evaluation that requires a minimum of two written assessments. We need to raise this bar.

Studies have shown that there are fewer citizen complaints about college-educated officers because they are less likely to use force. College-educated officers are also less likely to be terminated for misconduct. Officers who graduate from college are 40% less likely to use force and 30% less likely to fire their weapons in the line of duty. Pasadena needs to require that all police applicants meet the minimum requirement of graduating from college.

We also need to require a pre-employment personality test that measures conscientiousness, emotional stability, agreeableness and integrity.

Once selected to work for our department, new officers are sent to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Academy, Orange County Sheriff’s Department Academy or Rio Hondo College for training, depending on available slots. After graduation, new officers begin a probationary period with PPD. Training then continues internally and under the leadership of Chief Perez has included immersive training in the use of force and de-escalation.

But there are severe budgetary limitations that need to be addressed.

The comparison of how much required training is mandated for police and fire departments is a contrasting difference: firefighters devote 20% of their workday to daily training while police officers receive a lowly 20% within a single quarterly or sometimes as little as twice a year. Pasadena Firefighters spend four to six hours in training per 24-hour shift.

Just as we want our officers to be properly compensated for the difficult work that they are called upon to perform so too do we want them to be the most highly trained—for their safety as well as our own.

Establishing a daily training schedule for PPD will be difficult, as calls for service (CFS) per day are well over 300. Maintaining a balance with training and daily work commitments needs to be addressed by the city council.

These budgetary constraints also have an impact on PPD firearms training at the indoor shooting facility at the Eaton Canyon Range named after the late Rangemaster Jack Preston. Every October our of-

PW ARTS ficers shoot for qualification and those that distinguish themselves with a score of 280 out of a possible 300 points receive a small “Blue Max” badge to wear on their uniform.

But knowing when to shoot a firearm is equally if not more important than knowing how. This is precisely why the current digital scenario screen with laser simulated weapons needs to be upgraded to include implicit bias training and communications scenario training.

As you read this somewhere a young man or woman is hearing the call to serve our nation and our community. Some will answer that call by looking to our military and others will consider law enforcement.

And when they answer that call let us make sure that they consider the Pasadena Police Department.

Police departments and cities across our nation face the difficult task of reforming a broken system. Under the leadership of Chief Perez, the Pasadena Police Department has an opportunity to rise to the challenge and become the model it once was.

I believe that Pasadena’s City Council will rise to that challenge as well.

~William M. Paparian Attorney at Law Pasadena

INVEST IN ARTS EDUCATION

During this uncertain and destabilizing time, I have watched with growing alarm as school districts across LA County propose drastic cuts to arts education programs.

While there is no doubt that the economic devastation caused by COVID-19 is forcing leaders to make difficult decisions, I take this opportunity to remind our school board members that California education code legally requires every student to have access to arts education.

Additionally, multiple studies show that arts education increases student engagement, their sense of connection, average daily attendance rates, and thus graduation rates. This cannot be overlooked as distance learning fuels an “engagement crisis” and drop-out rates spike across the state. Evidence shows that students with arts ed are: • Five times less likely to drop out of school, • Four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, and • Three times more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree.

This is an issue of basic equity. We know low-income students and students of color face the greatest barriers to the high-quality arts instruction they deserve. And, because the creative sector generates 1 in 10 jobs in the SoCal region, cutting funding for these essential programs will negatively impact an entire generation of students preparing to enter California’s workforce.

If we fail to recognize the importance of arts education, we fail our children. We must invest in the arts programs that will ensure students have the tools they need to thrive. Do not cut arts education funding when our children need it most. ~Karla Hughes Pasadena

EVERYONE NEEDS TO WEAR MASKS

I have just returned from a 2-mile walk in Pasadena and am totally disheartened

by the number of people ignoring the governor’s desperate plea for everyone to wear a mask.

Most Pasadenans I know are goodhearted people, but these individuals don’t care about the health care workers, their families, their friends or themselves.

I think they will feel differently when they are lying on a bed in a hallway because all the hospital rooms are full.

~Sally Currie Pasadena

FOLLOWING THE MONEY

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign promised to “Make America Great Again” but failed to help Americans. He also declared that the American worker would be his top priority. Yet, nearly three-quarters of Americans report their finances have not improved since President Trump has been in the White House. In fact, just 17% report their personal financial situations are better now. Another 45% think their situations have stayed about the same, while 29% are worse off now.

As a result of his leadership, American wages, overall, have remained flat. Instead of providing assistance to the American worker, Trump sided with business and refused to increase the inflation salary line to $47,500 from $35,300, thus millions of workers were deprived of increases.

Don’t you get it, this president isn’t interested in hardworking Americans, absolutely not! He went with the rich and the corporations, why? These are the ones who support his greedy efforts and his need to increase inequality to benefit the rich. It’s really simple, Trump and Republicans follow the money?

ENDING RACISM

Regarding Ellen Snortland, you were making some good points until your last sentence.…then you wrote something which tainted your entire piece and makes one wonder about your ethics and honesty.

Never forget that predominantly “Christian” white supremacists are haters of all people.

Haters are not true Christians. They may claim to be, but they are not. Christians get their guide for living from the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible. And a true Christian is not a hater of people. Jesus taught us to love all people and follow his example. Read the Gospel of Luke. Your comment is similar to what we used to read about Hitler being a Christian.

If you did this on purpose or for political reasons you should be ashamed for being dishonest. If this was a poor choice of words or fuzzy thought process, you and your editor should be ashamed. Most of us know that racism is morally wrong, but we live in a world where evil exists, and evil people are happy if they persuade good people to follow them. Also, your use of the fist symbol with red flames and bloody looking fingertips looks angry and hateful and would probably not have gotten the approval of Dr. Martin Luther King.

A LETTER TO A FUTURE GENERATION Dr. Chuck Hunt, the family ministry pastor at Pasadena’s Lake Avenue Church, wrote this piece, An Open Letter to America and America’s Children From 2050, for his daughter and her friends—and even more importantly their children.

Dear Child, You ask me why I always throw a party of June 20. So, I thought I would write it for you. I hope this letter finds you well. I mean really well. Well in a way that I never thought possible and I hope to enjoy with you for a few years longer. Let me start 30 years ago from a day that feels like yesterday, June 19, 2020. The world decided to stay alive.

I’m sure that you heard about COVID-19 and the year of the global pandemic of 2020-21. We had never experienced anything like that before in our world. It was an anxious time. We lost a lot of friends and family. We lost a bit of our innocence and our security.

I’m sure you also heard about the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020-2027. They started around the same time but the movement toward equality took a lot longer. Not surprisingly they found a vaccine for the virus before we healed the country.

We made some significant changes in our country. We started to have some real honest conversations about the beginnings of this country. We started to look at the history, not just what was written in the required history books at public school, but the history of oppressed people written in between the lines, and behind the black ink of redaction, and in the memories of elders. We replaced our statues with heroes and the conquerors with champions. When we did that, we started to see each other differently. We started to care about each other’s stories and turn toward each other instead of against each other.

I hope you have heard their names by now, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. The nation was already hurting and then it started grieving and hurting. I hope you have seen the documentaries. One of them even won an Oscar. Those were painful days for many people. Their lives were the spark that ignited a movement that had been building for years. As a matter of fact, it had been so cyclical it was expected.

Ignition in 1968 after the assassination of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

Ignition in 1973 over the murder of 10-year-old Clifford Glover.

Ignition in 1989 after the murder of Yusef Hawkins.

Ignition in 1992 after the Rodney King trials.

Ignition after Hurricane Katrina, and Michael Brown and so many others.

George Floyd’s murder ignited a seven-year movement that held the nation’s attention unlike any before. Yes, it took seven years. Seven years of conferences, discussions, religious meetings, and civic engagement for us to realize we needed to be antiracist. I know that seems long, but it was right and it was necessary to get it right. It’s the reason that you learn about it in school.

We worked and achieved police reform.

We worked and achieved school funding reform.

We worked and achieved prison reform.

We worked and achieved reform and policing of banks.

We worked and achieved immigration reforms.

We worked on equality and pushed against the systems that guaranteed inequality.

That isn’t to say everyone was with us, they weren’t. Some still aren’t, but those voices are less and less.

Some of my friends decided it was too much and I lost them. Some of the people in the church decided that we shouldn’t be in politics and we lost them. Some of our family weren’t OK with all the posts on social media. I’m glad that era of social media is gone. But somehow in the midst of those losses were relationships that I considered superficial, became super influential. I was placed in conversations that I never thought were possible. People who didn’t like having conversations that were hard, leaned in and became rock solid.

I remember thinking that Christians are supposed to love God and love others. Period. Full stop.

We needed to be involved in showing our country what it meant to repent, grieve, seek justice and love mercy. We needed to live like Jesus and then it just started happening. People just started living out their faith and stopped waiting for God to “revive” them. People started to listen like Jesus listened and love like Jesus loved. They really believed that God loved the world and not just their world. I am grateful for that community. We lived out our faith alongside each other. That wasn’t the only reason things changed but, in my circles, it was everything.

That summer of 2020 was one of the most significant in our history. We woke up that spring and summer and never went to sleep, so that you could live well. The following years were just as important and hard, but we kept going.

There were moments that the movement almost stopped, but we kept going.

There were days we wanted to quit, but we kept having conversations.

There were plenty of opportunities to just go back to “normal,” but we wanted a new normal. One with organic justice not synthetic peace, one with love and not ambivalence, one with equal opportunity no just veiled access, one with care for the poor not commodifying the poor.

I know, there are still problems today. But that spring and summer we came face to face with one of the greatest evils that our country perpetuated on any person. We had used the freedom that God gave us and weaponized to take that freedom from another of God’s children.

In the summer of 2020, we said to the world and to each other…no more.

We all said, “no more.”

We continued to say, “No more,” until the world heard us.

I hope you never experience what we did in 2020. I’m glad you don’t have to today.

Remember that Jesus loves you Remember that I love you.

God bless you n The Rev. Dr. Chuck Hunt, June 2050 (God-willing)

WHEN MOTHER NATURE SPEAKS, LISTEN TO HER! DON’T TRY TO TALK YOURSELF OUT OF WHAT YOU’RE FEELING

I

t’s midnight. My husband and I are walking home from a performance of my off-Broadway show, “Now That She’s Gone,” in New York City. I am half a block in front of Ken because he’s slower than I am due to bad knees. I walk quickly, covering one block for each of his half blocks, back and forth, back and forth, then back to him, to help stay warm and also fit.

On one of my numerous jaunts where I am ahead of Ken, hairs rise on the back of my neck. I sense that someone is following me with their eyes. I listen to Mother Nature, who warns me of possible danger, and turn around. Sure enough, a guy is there: white, in his late teens. He looks away, pretending that he isn’t stalking me. I walk; he walks. I stop; he stops. He couldn’t be more obvious if he had a Post-It note stuck on his forehead saying, “predator.” Finally, I step into a storefront’s alcove and wait for him to catch up. As he comes within four feet, I turn to face him, put my hands up, and firmly say, “Do not f@!k with me.”

He says, “understood” and runs away.

My many years of training with IMPACT Personal Safety gave me the brass ovaries to nonviolently stop the stalker.

Reader, I stay aware when I’m around most males, regardless of skin tone.

Saying this feels bad to me when the man or teen happens to be Black or of color. He doesn’t know that I’m cautious around most unknown males; how could he know that?

I long to explain to him that I’m eyeballing him not because of his race or ethnicity but because he’s male. I am especially cautious if he happens to be a male between the ages of 15 and 25. Am I ageist? Am I sexist? Considering the overwhelming statistics compiled over dozens of years by very reliable sources, I’d say I am a realist.

To be completely honest, I am most wary about white male U.S. teens between 15 and 25. If I were to create some kind of Creep-o-Meter, they’d hit the top. I don’t think it’s nature that makes some white U.S. teen boys scary.

It’s nurtured by disaffected white men who have been twisted by the likes of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, who have been pumping hate and entitlement into their ears for decades now. These men are pissed… and armed. And now that I reflect on it, I can’t recall my Creep-o-Meter spiking around U.S. males of color. Hmm. Maybe, but not in my memory bank right now.

I often get asked, “Do you walk around being afraid of men or hating them?”

I reply, “No, absolutely not. I love the men I love and trust the men who deserve my trust. When I feel the hackles go up on the back of my neck, I listen.

Truthfully, those feelings have never arisen around females. Not that they couldn’t; they just haven’t.”

My mission in life is education, safety, and thriving for women. I proudly serve on the advisory board of Empowerment Self-Defense Global, and I’m also a board member for IMPACT Personal Safety of Los Angeles, a 501(c) (3) whose mission I share. I seek to teach women and girls globally on how to set healthy verbal, emotional and physical boundaries. My books and film are about that. I wake up every morning with a safe world as my vision.

About a year ago, I saw a yummy dose of schadenfreude go down in my wonderfully diverse Altadena neighborhood. During my daily neighborhood walks, I noticed a sketchy-looking white man parked on the same street. Over a week’s time, he would move his car to different parking spaces. There he was, every day, with his MAGA bumper sticker. Ugh. The hairs on my arms went up when I would walk by. I took a picture of him and his license plate.

I hailed one of my Black neighbors who I didn’t know personally but knew from my walks.

My voice lowered, I stage-whispered, “Sir!? Sir?!” I didn’t want to startle him nor give myself away to Mr. Sketchy Guy. I finally got his attention and walked toward him in his driveway, where he was sweeping.

“Sir, there’s a suspicious white man who’s been sitting in his car for a week now. Keep your eyes on him. I get a bad feeling.”

He looked, and we smiled. He gave me a thumbs up.

I said, “Take care.”

“Yes, I most certainly will. You too,” he said. Mr. Sketchy White man was gone the next day.

Listen to the hairs on the back of your neck, Mother Nature loves all of her children and wants them all safe. n Ellen Snortland has written Consider This… for the Pasadena Weekly for decades.

CONTINUING ITS MISSION THE PASADENA PLAYHOUSE IS APPROVED FOR CARES ACT AWARD

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

P

asadena Playhouse has been approved for a $50,000 award as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. “It’s really a big deal,” said Danny Feldman, Pasadena Playhouse’s producing artistic director.

“It’s a big honor. It’s such a challenging time for all of the organizations, let alone arts organizations and businesses that rely on people buying tickets. This is a challenge moment for us.

We’re the only Pasadena organization to receive the grant and we’re really humbled by it.”

Feldman said he’s not sure why the playhouse was singled out, other than it does admirable work.

“I think our work speaks for itself in the community,” he said. “Our goal—and we have a lot of goals at the moment—are to continue to engage our community even if we are not allowed to gather in our building.”

Pasadena Playhouse is one of 855 organizations located in every state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico selected for this grant. The National Endowment for the Arts received more than 3,100 eligible applications requesting $157 million for the $45 million available in direct assistance.

Pasadena Playhouse, along with the other awardees, represents the diverse nature of arts organizations around the country. Overall funding was divided nearly evenly between small, medium and large arts organizations.

This grant will be used to support Pasadena Playhouse’s digital programming personnel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re trying to navigate the treacherous waters of this period, by having some flexibility and being in a position to be there when our community needs us,” he said.

National Endowment for the Arts said arts and culture are key components of the U.S. economy that contribute $877.8 billion, or 4.5%, 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.09.20

to the nation’s gross domestic product in 2017 and employ over 5 million wage‐and‐salary workers who collectively earned $405 billion.

This funding will help support those jobs and those nonprofit organizations during this time of great need so that arts and culture will persevere as a significant contributor to the American economy.

Feldman said efforts are underway to employ staff, artists and others in the arts field.

“We will be unveiling some very exciting new digital programs that were created in response to COVID that are not as simple as Zoom play readings,” he said. “I’m talking new pieces of art that will be presented in a digital way. We were planning this even before COVID. I’m very excited to share more with everyone soon. That is what this grant is going toward. It’s a much larger effort.”

The project is an expansion of what the Pasadena Playhouse has done in the past, Feldman said. He’s just looking at it with a different lens.

“We’re trying to figure out how do we maintain the Pasadena Playhouse’s mission, which is to enrich the lives of our community,” Feldman said. “We’re figuring out how do we do that within the four walls of our historic, beautiful building. We’re thinking of other ways we can engage, particularly in a moment when, I believe, the community needs the arts more than ever to process and understand the world around them.”

Feldman said the grant continues the Pasadena Playhouse’s fundraising initiative. Like many other organizations that are struggling through this period, the Pasadena Playhouse launched an emergency fundraising program.

“We knew we needed to ensure that we would be there on the other side of this,” Feldman said.

“We need to continue our work and to serve the community.” n

‘REST IN POWER’

INJURY RESERVE RAPPER STEPA J. GROGGS DIES AT 32

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

J

ordan Alexander Groggs, also known as Stepa J. Groggs of the Arizona hip-hop trio Injury Reserve, died June 29 at the age of 32.

The group—which also featured rapper Ritchie With a T and producer Parker Corey—revealed the news on social media the following day. The cause of death has not yet been given.

“REST IN POWER Jordan Alexander Groggs a loving father, life partner and friend. (6/1/1988-6/29/2020),” a tweet reads.

The post was followed by a link to a GoFundMe to support his family. The former Altadena resident is survived by his partner, Anna Ford, and four children Joey, Jayden, Toph and Ari. Together they lived in Chandler, Arizona.

“I had no idea he had impacted so many people’s lives through his music,” Ford said in a message to Pasadena Weekly.

“Groggs’s heart has touched everyone he has come across. He will live on through his family, supporters, and the communities he was a part of,” a statement on the GoFundMe reads.

Ritchie with a T (Nathaniel Ritchie) took to Instagram to share, “REST IN POWER my brother I love you so much.”

Injury Reserve’s management did not respond to a request for additional comment by press time.

As a member of Injury Reserve, Groggs released numerous projects since the group formed in 2013. Among them are the mixtapes “Live from the Dentist Office” and “Floss” and the EP “Drive It Like It’s Stolen.”

The group released its self-titled debut album on Loma Vista last year, followed by a series of nonalbum cuts: “HPNGC,” “Hoodwinked,” “Waste Management” and “Rock n Roll.” Groggs most recently was featured on indie duo Jockstrap’s single “Robert” in June.

Fans and fellow musicians alike took to social media to share their condolences and remember Groggs, with some fans sharing images of the times they met him.

“We met Jordan when we played with Injury Reserve at Willamette in 2017,” a tweet from indie pop trio Kero Kero Bonito reads. “He was a memorably friendly and genuine person and with IR he made some of the best, most progressive hip hop in recent memory.”

Metalcore band Code Orange, with whom the group collaborated on the song “HPNGC,” tweeted, “Rest in Peace. all the love we have to you guys right now.”

Jockstrap also voiced thoughts via Twitter: “RIP Groggs. what a pleasure to have met you and toured with you. such a kind, gentle, funny and talented soul. We are honoured to have your verse on our record. Sending all our love and condolences to your children, family and friends.”

“RIP, this is too sad,” reads another tweet, from DJ/producer A-Trak. “Sending love.”

Experimental hip-hop trio clipping. called the news “Devastating.”

SEARCHING FOR SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS TO MEET WEEKLY AT COURTHOUSE, HOPING TO STAY IN THE U.S.

A NEW NORMAL AT SCHOOL

PASADENA UNIFIED PLANS FOR EDUCATION DURING A PANDEMIC

BY MATT RODRIGUEZ

A

s coronavirus cases rise in the region, Pasadena Unified School District continues planning for what the new school year will look like during a pandemic.

“I hope that we can come to some way to open,” said Vice President Scott Phelps about the fall.

“I hope that the conditions aren’t too severe [and] the requirements aren’t too high to open…

I think a lot of families are missing out, a lot of families don’t have parents that can help [their children]. Then there’s the social [and] emotional problem of not having that connection with your teacher which is a big part of a young children’s lives.”

PUSD decided in late June to implement a hybrid system of schooling utilizing both inperson and distance learning for when schools reopen on August 17. The current plan calls for students in primary and secondary schools to have an alternating schedule, which would fill many schools at about 50% capacity. The preparations and alterations to the schedule would help facilitate the social-distancing protocols.

Examples shown at the PUSD Board of Education meeting on June 25 reveal each group meeting in person twice a week and distance learning three days a week. On Mondays, both groups would engage in distance learning, allowing schools to meet with staff and prepare for the upcoming week.

In addition to the social distance protocol, students, faculty and staff will be required to wear face coverings. PUSD has also stated it is procuring personal protective equipment including cleaning supplies to mitigate the risk of community transmission within the schools’ campuses.

Prior to entering campus students, faculty and staff will be screened for any symptoms of COVID-19, which include a temperature check. PUSD also states that the custodial staff was trained according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and all facilities will undergo “high-frequency cleaning and sanitizing.”

According to the plan shown at the meeting, in-person instruction would start at 7:50 a.m. for elementary and middle schools while high schools would begin at 8:30 a.m. All three levels of education will be dismissed from school at around noon and then start distance learning until 2:30 p.m.

When presented to the board, some members such as Phelps asked for four days of in-person learning to help students develop a rapport with teachers and fellow peers.

“We’ve got a number of comments from families where there are two working parents. It’s one reason why we wanted four days [of in-person instruction],” said Phelps. “The second reason is that with lots of families there just isn’t any ability to help their children [with school].”

After hearing the recommendations from the board, Director of Curriculum Helen Chan Hill and her staff decided to extend in-person instruction to a full school day rather than a half day.

“We still want to make sure that there is space for students to have physical distancing,” said Hill. “We are going to stay with the cohort model, but we’re going to elongate each of the in-person days so that rather than leaving at what would have been a scheduled lunchtime, we will be able to do a full school day.”

According to a survey conducted by PUSD, a majority of parents approved of all forms of education—distance, in-person or hybrid. However, after receiving requests from parents, PUSD plans to implement a 100% virtual, online schooling option.

“It will be vastly different than what was in the spring,” said Hill. “Live synchronous instruction would happen daily [and] the frequency would increase. Additionally, we are looking at specific content that is native to online instruction.”

Food services will continue at all levels, with a dedicated breakfast time for elementary school students. The board hopes to provide all levels with breakfast Tuesday to Friday and lunch Monday to Friday.

In addition, PUSD hopes to reopen its preschool and child care facilities. While following the same social distancing, clean and sanitizing protocols recommended by the CDC, children will be grouped in cohorts of 10 per staff member.

According to PUSD, full and part day care will be offered at elementary schools and five additional child centers, with PUSD working to expand the program to more child centers.

Phelps hopes to open schools despite the articles that say it may be an improbable if not an impossible idea.

“It’s going to take everybody pitching in,” said Phelps. “I think it’s going to take an extra amount of commitment to get parents past that fear. It’s going to take a really good plan and opening [for] success. The only way you get past fear is if you try something and you succeed…

Everybody has to kind of go beyond their contractually defined roles.” n

fter the Supreme Court ruled in favor of DREAMers and upheld Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), immigrants under Temporary Protection Status (TPS) hope their right to stay in the United States will remain as well.

“The reason we feel optimistic is because the U.S. Supreme Court decided in favor of DACA and the arguments that the lawyers were using are exactly the same arguments that we’re using in the defense case,” said National Day Laborer Organizing Network Co-Executive Director Pablo Alvarado Alvarado and several others, many of whom are TPS holders, gathered outside the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, to rally for the extension of the TPS program. They plan to meet outside the courthouse every week until the verdict is announced.

The court is hearing a case, Ramos v. Nielsen, filed by TPS holders and their U.S. citizen children from Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti and El Salvador. The case argues, among other things, that the termination of TPS by the U.S. government violated the Administrative Procedure Act and believed it was an act of racism that violates the constitution.

“There are three arguments essentially,” Alvarado said. “No. 1 is that the president—when he decided to terminate TPS for over 300,000 families—violated the constitution and the Administrative Procedures Act. No. 2, the president was motivated by racism when he decided to terminate TPS… He referred to the countries where [TPS] people come from as sh— hole countries.

Alvarado also stated the executive order to terminate TPS places families in possible situations where children and their parents will be separated.

“They have to choose between their parents and their country,” said Alvarado.

Created by Congress through the Immigration Act of 1990, TPS offers temporary immigration status to nationals of certain countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster or extraordinary and temporary conditions. Recipients are given a temporary work permit and a temporary stay of deportation.

There are 10 countries with TPS designations and, according to the Pew Research Center, there are over 317,000 TPS holders in the United States. The three countries with the most TPS recipients are El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti.

According to a study by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, TPS holders from just El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti have contributed $4.5 billion to the GDP of the United States.

During this pandemic, according to Nicole Prchal Svajenka from the progressive think tank, Center for American Progress, about 131,000 are essential workers with almost 28,000 in California.

Alvarado is optimistic the courts will rule in favor of the TPS holders and he plans to join the protestors every Monday to countdown the days until their status is upheld.

“Every Monday we’re going to be here,” Alvarado said. “It’s a countdown to either justice or injustice. We are optimistic and we believe that it is a countdown to justice.” n

mericans will not be going to Europe anytime soon.

Unfortunately, neither will Leo Bulgarini.

For 14 years, he and his wife, Elizabeth Foldi, have run the gelateria and restaurant Bulgarini. Those who are unfamiliar have missed out on some of the finest— and priciest—gelato this side of Venice (Italy).

Leo routinely travels to Europe each summer to source fresh and authentic ingredients for his gelato, most notably his pistachios from Sicily. Each summer he also hosts a travel group of 15 fanatics, along with Elizabeth and his 12-year-old son, Lorenzo.

“We meet in Rome and get a mini-bus” and a culinary tour of Tuscany ensues.

A native of Rome, Leo studied agriculture in Tuscany to learn wine and olive oil making and he knows the region well. He also cultivates Zinfandel grapes at a vineyard outside Santa Barbara for his wine.

His dinner menu features such Tuscan classics as Ribollita Toscana (white bean soup with greens) and Pappardelle al Cinghiale (wide egg pasta with marinated wild boar).

Dinner? Yes, the gelato maestro began serving dinner about two years ago. The menu is limited to four pasta dishes, the soup and an entrée of braised short rib. The entrées range from $20 to $26. Fresh focaccia with a variety of toppings will be added to the menu soon.

The pasta and bread—like the gelato—is made fresh from scratch in Bulgarini’s kitchen. Though his indoor dining room seats 30, dinner is presented al fresco in the outdoor courtyard with an array of distanced tables that also seats up to 30. The impetus to move to a dinner service came from their popular summer movie nights that the family hosted in the courtyard for the past 10 years.

Elizabeth serves as general manager of the operation and tells a now familiar tale.

“Our business dropped to 25% of our usual (revenue),” Leo says. “Without the PPP loan, I would not have survived. I really believe we would have folded.”

Rehiring and finding new employees have been a challenge as unemployment benefits mitigate immediate interest in returning to the workforce. This, on top of attempting to track the latest directives and guidelines issuing from the governor and the county, amounts to a daily series of challenges and uncertainties that the Bulgarinis manage like other independent restaurateurs and local gelato makers.

Why gelato? Ice cream, sorbet and sherbet all have their charms. However, gelato has a dense, clean silken texture and an intensity of flavor that surpasses the best aspects of the other three frozen concoctions. Because gelato uses less milk, there is less dairy fat than ice cream, so it leaves a cleaner finish on the tongue. Also, less air is infused into gelato, which results in a concentration of flavors. Stored at a higher average temperature than ice cream, gelato won’t numb your taste buds. In short, gelato maximizes tastiness.

Make no mistake, Leo’s gelato is a masterwork of mindful artisanal intention. His attention to detail, craft and the sourcing and cultivation of the highest-quality ingredients is inarguably reflected in each scoop (one scoop is $5; two scoops $7; three scoops $8.50).

More than a few scoops will cost you. Half kilos are $28; $40 for pistachio. A full kilo is $55 and serves eight. Yes, it’s possible to spend more on gelato here than on your three-course 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.09.20

dinner but, hey, it’s Bulgarini!

Here’s yet another unique culinary aspect of our town: there has been another gelatomaker quietly lurking in Old Town since 2006. Hello Gelato, a collaboration between another husband-and-wife team—Stephen and Jackie Lee—offers housemade gelato with fresh ingredients in a wide variety of flavors.

The small shop closed at the advent of the lockdown and just re-opened three weeks ago. Jackie notes the lack of tourism resulted in much less foot traffic on their strip of Colorado Boulevard. With neighboring restaurants doing take-out and stuttering attempts at the return to dine-in, there are also far fewer post-prandial gelato tasters. Their watermelon gelato was the first batch of the season, though Stephen was unhappy with the texture, alluding to the moisture content, which sent it in the direction of granita.

He added a scoop of passionfruit as an off-set bonus. Both were delicious. Prices here: one scoop $4.50; two scoops $5.75; three scoops $7; pint $9.50. However, the gelato tour is not over. There’s another notable purveyor just around the corner on Raymond Avenue.

A relative newcomer to the neighborhood, Swedish Scoops has occupied a small storefront just north of Colorado for the last two and half years.

As managing partner Andreas Younan explains, like Hello Gelato, Swedish Scoops closed on lockdown and only reopened last week. He also echoes the Lee’s dismay over the current pace of business.

Swedish Scoops is featuring a narrower selection of flavors. The gelato here is also made in-house in a glass-fronted “gelato lab” in back. Ingredient sourcing is meticulous here as well, with hazelnuts from Sicily and pistachios from specific California farms.

Incidentally, Andreas also pulls an excellent espresso made with select Cuban beans. Notably, Swedish Scoops and its small shop is the only U.S. outpost of the largest gelateria in Europe and the second largest in the world: Glassmagasinet in Visby, Sweden. The Swedish mothership regularly features 340 flavors and during its summer season hosts between 5,000 and 8,000 gelato enthusiasts daily. Andreas scrolls through his phone for a video of a line of visitors at the Swedish store snaking into the horizon.

Scoops here: $4.95; two for $6.95; three for $7.95; four scoops for $8.95; pints are $12.

The stracciatella (Italian egg custard) and gianduia (chocolate hazelnut) flavors are deservedly popular options here.

Sharing my tasting notes comparing Bulgarini’s pistachio with Hello Gelato’s, or Hello Gelato’s tiramisu with Swedish Scoops’ version, or Swedish Scoop’s chocolate hazelnut with Bulgarini’s would spoil the fun.

Take a local gelato safari and find out for yourself. Complete your tour at Bulgarini’s and grab a plate of authentic Tuscan pasta while you’re at it.

Need a prescriptive and psychically transportive palate-cleanser for everything we’ve been experiencing in the last weeks? Dial up “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” on Netflix and curl up with a big bowl of gelato. You will not be going to Europe anytime soon. ­

SINGER ARIELLE SILVER IS ALL ABOUT SECOND CHANCES

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

Photo courtesy Arielle Silver

A

rielle Silver had a successful music career when she just up and quit 10 years ago.

After years of regional tours, and then a six-month national tour with her trio in support of her third album, she put away her guitar, moved to Los Angeles, and landed a behind-the-scenes job in the music business.

After hours, she studied and taught yoga philosophy, won awards for her literary writing, got divorced, got married and performed at SoCal world music festivals as a background singer and instrumentalist.

But her own music came calling.

“The reason I quit and came back both came from a really deep place inside me,” Silver says. “When I stopped playing. I couldn’t do it anymore. I had done it my whole life. It was the life force for me. It was just something I needed to do and loved to do until I didn’t.”

One day she woke up from a “crazy dream” and it inspired her to do something she never considered.

“It compelled me to go in the backyard and clear a space,” she says. “I didn’t know I was going to build a shed in which to write songs. I just suddenly felt I needed to clean the backyard and get back to something elemental, I guess.”

As soon as she built the shed — six weeks later — she started writing songs again.

“I was feeling my gut instinct,” she says. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.”

Despite 10 years off, when Silver launched a spring 2019 crowd-funding campaign, she raised over $26,000 to record the just-released indie folk Americana album, “A Thousand Tiny Torches.” The title comes from a lyric on the album.

The songs are about fireflies, wildfires and shining a light into the darkness.

Produced by Shane Alexander, the project was recorded by Michael Gehring at Secret World Studios in the legendary Sound City complex in Los Angeles. It’s being mixed by Grammy winner Brian Yaskulka (Lisa Loeb) and mastered by Grammy winner Hans DeKline (U2). The album features drummer Denny Weston Jr. (KT Tunstall), keyboardist Carl Byron (Rita Coolidge), bassist Darby Orr (Naked to the World), steel guitarist Jesse Siebenberg (Lady Gaga, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real), and mandolinist Mike Mullins (David Grisman).

The first single was “What Really Matters,” which hit streaming services on February 28. The song was inspired by the November 2018 shootings at the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks, and the Woolsey and Hill fires. The events made her think about what really matters most. “‘What Really Matters’ emerged from my process of challenging myself to write a song a week,” Silver adds.

“All of California looked like it was on fire. A lot of people lost their homes. Thousands were evacuated. The sky was dark and ashy. That week, I wrote two songs. One was ‘What Really Matters.’ We have our personal tragedies in our lives and then there are these cultural tragedies or local tragedies that are public. It’s terrible.”

The first song on the album, “You Were Light,” is luminous and uplifting in its forgiveness after a rocky relationship and accompanied by the reassuring strums of the guitar.

Another album track, “Someone Else’s Dream,” describes the rigorous internal battle between who you are and who you want to be.

Silver’s songs have been licensed internationally for film/TV. She has performed at venues around the country, including Club Passim, 12th and Porter, and Eddie’s Attic, with many of her favorite songwriters, including America, Elizabeth & the Catapult, Kris Delmhorst, St. Vincent, Jay Nash, Rebecca Loebe and Chris Pierce.

Also an essayist and poet, Silver’s literary work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best New Poets, and has appeared in Matador Review, Moment, Lilith Magazine, Under The Gum Tree, Brevity and Jet Fuel Review.

Silver says she can’t wait until the COVID-19 crisis is over so she can hit the road again. At 5:30 p.m. Fridays, she hosts live streaming shows “It’s been a hard year,” she said. “It’s a hard time and it’s a strange time to have something to celebrate.

I think, first of all, all of us need a light in the dark.

“We can’t just reside in the despair of global, economic and health crises. All of that said, we need music, art, connection and good food—all of the things that help us feel human together.” n Arielle Silver Ariellesilvermusic.com

Arielle Silver is enjoying living in California because of the multitude of great songwriters.

‘Los Dos’

DREAD, HOPE, FRIENDSHIP AND PSYCHEDELIC ROCK AND COUNTRY INFORM NOCONA’S THIRD ALBUM

T

iming the release of new music just right is a tricky art beyond creating an album, even without public health emergencies. Nocona had its third album in the can, with artwork ready to go, too, when the pandemic shutdown hit in March.

“Everyone was in other projects for the moment and when the world shut down we were like, ‘WTF are we gonna do?’” recalled bassist/co-producer Adrienne Isom, who founded the band with guitarist/songwriter husband Chris Isom. It had already been five years since the Venice-based couple released their last album, “Long Gone Song.”

“Three months into the quarantine, I just woke up, I wasn’t sure what to do, everybody was in the same panic mode, and I announced on Facebook, ‘I think it’s time to release a new Nocona record,’” she said, laughing. “That was the first time my husband and the whole band had heard of it. I was like, ‘This has to happen, now.’”

Thus the release of “Los Dos” this Friday. The album is Nocona’s most cohesive and sonically varied, and benefits from expanded input from bandmates: Glendale-based pedal steel player Dan Wistrom, invaluable fiddler Xander Hitzig, keyboardist Carl Byron, harmonica player Elan

12 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.09.20

Glasser (“He’s our Mickey Raphael”), and drummer Justin Smith, an Altadena resident and Old Californio alum who’s been with Nocona from the start. The Isoms finish each other’s sentences, laughing frequently, while recounting a “magical summer” recording with co-producer Jay Braun.

“Jay and I grew up listening to punk rock and hardcore bands in New York, and we wanted to make a record that captured a live, raw spirit—like, ‘This band played these songs in a room together,’” Chris explained. “We’re staying pretty true to what we already do, which is influenced by a lot of psychedelic, Americana and roots music and punk too, but we always want to do something that jars listeners’ ears a bit or bends the genre.”

Their psychedelic, garage rock and punk influences proudly fuel rollicking tracks such as “Chester,” “Too Much to Lose” and “Unseen Hand,” while California country’s heritage warms the harmonies and waves of pedal steel, acoustic guitar and soulful organ swelling behind narratives such as “Ace in the Hole” and the witty “Post Apocalyptic Blues.” With its thrumming undertow of fingerpicked guitar, violin and steel, “Tabernacle Woes” is the biggest sonic surprise—vaguely reminiscent of “Brimstone” (from 2013’s “Nocona”) but with an eerie Celtic twist.

Chris acknowledged the album was deeply informed by an “existential, ambient level” of dread concerning our political environment. A line in “Old Bones”—“Good old Ktulu’s got quite some plans for you”—seemingly references H.P. Lovecraft’s story “The Call of Cthulhu,” but he says he heeded a lesson from early heroes.

“I try not to tie things that are political or social to specific people or events. That’s one of the things about all the punk bands we loved in the ’80s; the band will get back together and they’re still singing about Reagan, Nicaragua, the Sandinistas and Iran-Contra. I talk about things like that but obliquely and symbolically, so hopefully they point to larger arcs of social commentary.”

Venezuelan llanera player Mafer Bandola, Brazilian drummer Lara Klaus, Colombian tambor alegre player Daniela Serna and American guitarist Sara Lucas champion female empowerment and social justice with solid support from longtime New York bassist Pat Swoboda and Bebel Gilberto/Caetano Veloso producer Kassin. They’re most musically engaging when joining voices (“Maria”), channeling anger into rhythmic urgency (“Mar Rojo”) and upending sexist condescension— the latter accomplished by the samba- and reggaeton-infused “Misterio,” which shames body shamers and insists, “The pleasure is mine.” ladamaproject.org

A.A. WILLIAMS, Forever Blue (Bella Union): HHH

Pain and loss weigh heavily on the London singer-songwriter’s debut solo album, from Williams’ dusky alto and the cello and piano of storm-gathering opener “All I Asked For (Was to End It All)” through “Glimmer” (“I wait undone/ I wasn’t meant to be the one hollow and hurt and meant for none”) and the slow-building “Wait.”

Informed by classical music and rock, it’s a moody piece of work reaching for catharsis, particularly during “Fearless” (featuring Cult of Luna’s Johannes Persson’s unsettling roar) and the confessional “Love and Pain.” It’s not for the light of heart, but beauty lurks in Williams’ shadows. aawilliamsmusic.com

MACEO PARKER, Soul Food: Cooking With Maceo (The Funk Garage): HHH½ The widely sampled funk saxophonist jams with New Orleans luminaries such as Dumpstaphunk co-founders Ivan Neville and Tony Hall on classics by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Dr. John and the Meters. Fans of Parker’s James Brown days or his ’70s tenure with ParliamentFunkadelic may crave fiery spice more than the smoldering good taste he favors here, but they’re likely to appreciate his affectionate, Ray Charles-style treatment of Prince’s “Other Side of the Pillow” as well as the greasy funk of his own “M A C E O” and Allen Toussaint’s “Yes We Can Can.” maceo.com

MOLLY MAHER, Follow (self-released): HHHH

The Minneapolis artist immediately signals her taste for coloring outside the lines, opening with a jarana-tinged instrumental showcasing her Band of Disbelievers, “Jango,” before segueing into nine more melodic, midtempo songs textured with pop hooks, Americana instrumentation and poetic imagery. Maher and fellow guitarist/co-producer Erik Koskinen craft sonically intriguing arrangements that occasionally recall “Kiko”-era Los Lobos during this subtle, rhythmically varied set, particularly with the atmospheric “Open Road,” “On the 18” and “StormCloud;” during the latter, Koskinen’s acoustic, electric and slide guitars and Maher’s nylon-string lines smolder and strike like heat lightning around Krissy Bergmark’s tabla grooves.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the Probate personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: October 29, 2020, Time: 8:30 AM, Dept.: 11, Location: 111 N. Hill Street Los Angeles, CA 90012.
