FACEBOOK REINVENTION IT’S TIME FOR A CONTENT OVERHAUL

M

ark Zuckerberg’s Facebook… can you hear me growling? Even though it just had a major graphic overhaul, the content remains as-is. Am I the only one who remembers its genesis as “Facemash,” an internet-based meat market for rating the “hotness” of women at Harvard? When I ponder if I’m capable of being a sellout, using Facebook is a stone-cold reminder that I can toss a principle or two aside for the sake of expediency. I’ll state this clearly: I both love and hate Facebook.

Where else can I still be friends with—and keep track of—my fourth-grade teacher and my besties in fifth grade? Or my adorable grandnieces? Or promote my particular brand of advocacy? “I wish I knew how to quit you,” the famous line from “Brokeback Mountain,” applies to me.

Besides assessing Mark Zuckerberg as fundamentally unprincipled and amoral, (those who have worked closely with him agree), I have other complaints about his brand of social media. My ambivalence extends to some of the loudest and most annoying characters who populate Facebook. Perhaps they can create their own versions of the platform to more closely reflect their seemingly single-note approaches to other people. Here are some ideas for them: • Asinine Unsolicited Advice Book: Wow! Yes, I did think of Googling it! And yes, I have read the first chapter of the Book of the Obvious. And yes, I did consider [fill-in-the-blank], along with a big who asked you? emoji. Oh, Facebook doesn’t have that emoji? Not that they asked, but they should!

• Explain Everything Book: I sometimes wonder if I have “I’m stupid; please explain everything to me slowly” tattooed on my forehead. While men tend to be the primary perpetrators of this cringeinducing phenomenon known as “man-splaining,” there are female “splainers,” too. I especially love the people who explain why a joke is not funny… forgetting the “not funny to me” clause, as if there’s anything funny to everyone.

There is also a particular subgroup here called “Lecture Book.” I had one person very patiently lecture me that wearing a mask would compromise my health because—you know—breathing all that carbon dioxide has been proven to cause health problems. So that explains all those fainting, retching, and incapacitated surgeons who wear masks for eight to 12 hours at a time! Go explain to your heart’s content… to someone else.

• Creep book: My mission is to teach women and girls how to protect themselves verbally, emotionally, and/or physically. Not

•LETTERS•

surprisingly, I have gotten a few propositions from Facebook “fellas” who would like to hire me to kick them in the gonads while wearing stilettos. They haven’t crept around for a few years now. And now that the economy is tanking, I am more open to that than I was a few years back. Kidding!! Kind of… I wonder how much they would pay?

(See “selling out” above.)

• Scold book: There are a few people on Facebook I would really like to ask, “Do you have any other setting than ‘scold’?” as I ironically scold them for being scolds. Unhappily, “scold masks” were reserved for women throughout history. They were used for “gossips” and women who were too smart for their own good. I have never seen a historical record for men being convicted of being a scold, although maybe there were some. There are a few men I can think of who are certainly contemporary scolds. I think scolds would have a great time on this new platform, scolding one another!

• Righteous Libertarian & Right-Winger Book: I’ve been so tempted to block or unfriend a few of these types, and yet I’m eerily fascinated by their views, which are antithetical to common sense.

Did they sleep through civics class, which is why they don’t understand the separation of church and state? Were they raised in a Pro-Soviet household, which is why the palpable threat of Russian interference in our elections rolls off their backs?

I guess I can understand some of those views, but I am baffled by someone being ultra-concerned about the poisonous fallout from so-called “chemtrails” in the sky, yet are blasé about actual human “chemtrails” from a virus that people spread if they are not wearing masks. Lunacy. And truly believing that Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci and the World Health Organization are in cahoots to implant tiny little trackers when they distribute the COVID vaccine? Bonkers.

There’s mounting evidence that people consumed by conspiracy theories and/or religious zealotry are manifesting severe mental psychosis, so I try to have compassion for them rather than ridicule.

Will I be quitting Facebook? Probably not, but every time I think of Zuckerberg and his “Hot or Not” roots, it makes my blood boil. I think that was a pretty good indicator of what kind of moral core he’s had from the get-go. If you can objectify women in this era, to that degree, then I’m guessing he “thing-ifies” all of us, regardless of gender or hotness. n Ellen has been writing “Consider This” for a long time!

POLICE REFORM

While the country is suffering and people are dying, our people are experiencing miles and miles of lines in obtaining a meal, getting a test or a payment, our president is shouting about monuments.

What sort of fantasy is he living? The issues today are life and death with the virus and racial inequality, Black Lives Matter. Black lives really matter to us and police reforms is paramount. Blacks suffer death 2.5 times more at the hands of the police than whites.

I have experienced what police can do to made a better difference in a community. We need reform that brings us back to community policing. To attain this healthy goal, we need to concentrate upon a positive approach like prevention.

The first order of business is to attract the college educated. Then, stress psychology, cultural sensitivity, community skills and de-escalation in their extended training. Take away activities better suited to other skilled areas like homelessness, home disruptions and mental illness. Finally hold people accountable!

We need the police. They just need the correct leadership, and community goals where they can flourish. Let’s get away from arming them to the teeth for a military battle and let better trained organizations handle those areas.

CALLING THE U.S. HOME

IMMIGRANTS FIGHT TO STAY WHERE THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED ROOTS STORY BY MATT RODRIGUEZ | PHOTOS BY LUIS CHAVEZ

N

ational Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Alliance organizer Claudia Lainez left her home country of El Salvador searching for opportunities and a better life for not only herself but for her future daughter.

Lainez now finds herself fighting to stay in the United States as a major case holds her legal residency in limbo.

Joined by many other TPS holders outside the U.S. Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit Court in Pasadena, Lainez rallies for the extension of the TPS program.

In 1990, Congress established the TPS program to offer temporary immigration status to nationals of certain countries.

Applicants must be escaping an ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster or other extraordinary and temporary conditions. Since its creation, over 300,000 people have immigrated to the United States under TPS, establishing roots where their children could have a chance at a better future.

The recipients are subjected to routine background checks and must reapply for the program every 18 months which costs about $500 each time. They are then granted a temporary work permit and a stay from deportation. They also pay taxes just like many U.S. citizens.

However, in the past few years their legal status has been placed in limbo

as the U.S. government decides to end the program. The termination of the program endangers many families as parents may be forced to return to their home countries and leave their children behind. Like Lainez, a vast majority of TPS holders come from El Salvador some of whom gathered outside the courthouse with her.

A new home At age 17, she embarked on the nearly 3,000-mile journey, leaving behind her mother and father. While she was not alone, accompanied by her 11-year-old cousin, she was traveling to an unknown country she would soon call home.

“I came from El Salvador. It was 1994 — right after the Civil War,” said Lainez now 43. “The country was devastated right after the war and I was looking for a better future here...It’s a long journey.

It was very dangerous [but] I was young, and I didn’t know any better. I thought it was like an adventure.”

In 2001, Lainez received her TPS status and began to work to provide for her family. After nearly 30 years in the U.S., she considers this once unknown country her home.

“It’s been 26 years — [that’s] more than half of my life in this country,” she said. “For me, home is here, and my

BY MATTHEW RODRIGUEZ

U

family is here. I have a daughter who’s 20 years old and she’s in college. So for me, thinking about going back to El Salvador — it’s not even an option.”

Lainez lives in constant fear of the what if’s in her life; the fear of the denial of a renewed TPS; the fear of what her daughter will have to do; the fear of never seeing her child again.

While Lainez is glad she made it to the U.S., she does not wish for her daughter to go through the same experience she did.

“I don’t want my daughter to experience any one experience that I had all my life,” Lainez said as a tear ran down her face soaking up in her mask.

“This is why I keep fighting. When she was younger, I always lived in fear. The fear that I was going to lose my status and had to go back.”

“I grew up without my parents and I don’t want any other kid to go through that. This is why I keep fighting and keep doing this. None of these kids deserve to go through what we all been through,” Lainez said as she looked at the other TPS holders that surrounded her.

A family’s struggle to stay together Claudia Caceres’ journey to America is very similar to Lainez’s. She was only 19 years old when she and her family decided it was best for her to leave El Salvador in search for a better future in the U.S. “I came for a better opportunity,” she said. “I knew that in my country there was lots of gang violence. All the women there were raped. So my parents decided that it’s better for me to come to the United States because there’s a better future here than over there.”

She left her family and her country in 1994, traveling only with her aunt. Now 45 years old working as a cook at a fast-food restaurant and with 4 children, Caceres has been living in the United States for

26 years. Her oldest daughter Jasmin, grapples with the idea of losing her parents if the TPS program is not renewed.

“She was around my age,” said the 20-year-old Jasmin. “That’s a big decision to leave your family and go somewhere that’s unknown to her. I feel like it was hard for her to leave everything behind.

I’m grateful that she came to this country and gave me and my siblings an opportunity to have a better future.”

Like many other families with TPS, Jasmin and her parents had the painful discussion of what to do if Claudia and her husband are deported.

“It’s sad because you always want your parents with you. Just thinking about it makes me tear up,” Jasmin said as her mother rubbed her back. “Just to think that my mom can go to a different country and [me] not being able to help her. She won’t be able to tell my siblings that she loves them [and] hug them.”

While the idea of losing a parent is difficult at any age, Jasmin reflects on the idea of being young when that happens, just like her little brother, Jason.

“I just imagine what if it was just my brother,” Jasmin said about 10-year-old Jason. “He’d have to make a decision to stay here with no one or go to a country he doesn’t know. It makes me really sad.”

Claudia and her family hopes that the courts will rule in favor of them.

“It was a hard decision at 19 to leave my family and come to a country I didn’t know,” Claudia said. “It was difficult to separate from my family [in El Salvador].

I don’t want that for [my children, but] it’s happening right now.”

As Claudia stands next to Jasmin and a few feet in front of her other children sitting down on a wall outside the court, poses a simple question: “Would you want your family to be separated?” n

.S. Reps. Judy Chu and Jan Schakowsky held a virtual press conference expressing their opposition to the controversial antiterrorism bill signed by Philippines’ President Rodrigo Duterte.

“We stand together in calling for the Philippine government to repeal the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 that risks further undermining human rights in the Philippines,” Schakowsky said. “We fear it will be used against anyone who protests against the government, whether be it in the abuse in the government or delay in distribution of COVID-19 aid, or any other grievance.”

Chu, the chairwoman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, backed her fellow congresswoman echoing similar sentiments.

“Simply put, President Duterte’s new powers under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 are a threat to democracy and human rights in the Philippine,” Chu added.

“It’s about silencing dissent. The true targets for this law are advocates for human rights, the environment, workers and indigenous communities.”

The Philippines has had a long and contentious battle with Islamic militancy originating in the southern islands of the Philippines. The law aims to combat the insurgency by broadening powers of arrest and detention. According to the new law, terrorism suspects can be detained without a warrant, for a longer period of time before being charged and no longer requires a judge to assess if a prisoner has been tortured, physically or mentally.

Many human rights organizations believed that increased power given to Duterte and his forces may lead to arrests of Duterte’s foes.

“We see the targeted killings of labor rights and human rights activists. We see the silencing of the Rappler, a media outlet, which was instrumental in exposing this government,” Chu said.

“We see the ongoing attacks against any who dare who speak against Duterte’s violence and the trampling of rights. We are telling them that these egregious attacks on human rights cannot stand.”

The new law bares striking resemblance to Duterte’s war on drugs. Beginning early in Duterte’s regime, the Filipino President allowed extrajudicial killings of drug dealers and suspected drug users throughout the nation. This campaign has led to thousands of deaths of Filipinos. In a recent report by Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, described the killings as “systematic” and saw a general “unwillingness” to prosecute the perpetrators of the killings.

According to the Filipino news website Rappler, there are nine petitions filed against the law with the Philippines’ Supreme Court pending appeal. n

The previous record was 139 new cases in a single week back in mid-May. While deaths have decreased, cases have surged, especially in the under-40 and Latino population.

• According to Pasadena Star-News, Pasadena city officials denied Golden Cross Health Care leniency after numerous requests. The nursing home facility located off North Fair Oaks Avenue was evacuated in June after city officials discovered the location failed to provide the most basic level of care for some residents. Golden Cross became the first nursing home to have its license suspended by Los Angeles County during the coronavirus pandemic.

• Following in the footsteps of Los Angeles and San Diego, the two largest school districts in the state, Pasadena Unified School District unanimously decided to begin the school year online. While there is hope and plans to implement an in-person or hybrid model, the district determined it was not the time to reopen schools and endanger their children.

EMERGING VICTORIOUS ENVIRONMENTALISTS WIN THE DEVIL’S GATE DAM SETTLEMENT

BY KAMALA KIRK

T

he Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted July 7 to approve a settlement between LA County, the Arroyo Seco Foundation (ASF) and Pasadena Audubon Society (PAS) in a long-standing dispute over the sediment removal project at Devil’s Gate Dam in Pasadena’s Hahamongna Watershed Park. The settlement will reduce the negative impacts of the project and enable a more environmentally conscious approach that will protect endangered bird species that have been sighted within the area.

“We were never opposed to a sediment management program,” said Tim Brick, managing director of ASF. “The right approach was to have a slow, ongoing program of sediment management. We’ve been negotiating for the past year in order to get to a place that is mutually agreeable. Thanks to the wisdom of our attorney Mitchell Tsai, today’s result represents a major improvement in the county and provides greater flood protection with fewer negative impacts on the neighborhoods. We’re very pleased with the settlement because it has accomplished a lot that is very significant.”

PAS president Laura Solomon added, “We kept trying to explain to the county that we wanted to partner with them, not fight them. But they just ignored us, so we had to sue them. By working closely with natural resources and cycles of nature rather than treating the area like a big debris basin, we all feel this is a much better project than it was in 2014.”

Built in 1920, the Devil’s Gate Dam and Reservoir are in the Arroyo Seco Watershed, a 47-mile area that includes the cities of Pasadena, South Pasadena, La Cañada, unincorporated community of Altadena, as well as the Los Angeles communities of Hermon, Highland Park, Lincoln Heights, Montecito Heights, and Mount Washington.

Throughout the years, sediment has accumulated in the dam. The Station Fire in 2009, along with subsequent floods that occurred the same year and the following year, added more than a million additional cubic yards of sediment to the 2.7 million cubic yards that had previously built up over the years. Local residents opposed a controversial project known as the “Big Dig,” which was released by the Flood Control District and approved by county supervisors in 2014.

The project would have removed 2.4 million cubic yards of sand and sediment from the reservoir behind the dam over a three to five-year period. The county claimed the program would use low-emission trucks, but they intended to use 425 diesel trucks—the same ones that emit deadly black carbon. Since December 2014, two successful lawsuits have been filed by ASF and PAS to reduce the negative impacts caused by the Flood Control District’s $100 million mining and trucking program in the basin behind the dam.

“While the first lawsuit was settled in our favor in 2017, we weren’t content with all of the conditions, so we filed a second lawsuit with a tentative favorable ruling in June of last year,” Brick said. “At the time when county officials saw the tentative ruling, they decided it was better to settle with us than continue through another trial.”

The settlement will lead to shrinking the permanent footprint of the project by 20 acres, as well as restoration and establishment of additional riparian habitat in the Hahamongna Basin at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. The county and its habitat restoration contractor will also be required to purchase native plants and seeds from ASF as part of the settlement. Air quality emissions caused by the project will be reduced through the use of electric and compressed natural gas trucks to remove sediment.

“Other benefits have come out of this process that go beyond the excavation program,” Brick said. “We reduced a lot of the negative impacts of the project, in addition to providing for a more environmentally sensitive approach to the future.

The settlement agreement will also result in an improvement in recreational values at the site. The county is going to partner with PAS to create a place where birders can enjoy watching rare species in their habitats that you normally don’t see in other parts of Southern California. The county will also urge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to complete an Arroyo Seco Watershed Ecosystem Restoration Study and request the U.S. Forest Service to complete a seismic and structural study of Brown Mountain Dam in the Arroyo Seco Canyon by April 2021. We’re pleased that this kind of cooperation and leadership are coming together.”

he city of Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission held a special meeting on July 9 to review and approve awards for the fiscal year 2020-2021 Annual Grants Program, including cultural trust funds to supplement the program’s operating budget, and to discuss recommended award funding structure.

Due to COVID-19, the meeting was via Zoom.

The Annual Grants Program supports Pasadena’s creative life by expanding public access to arts in the community; supporting the work of the individual artist; bringing the creative process into the classroom; and funding annual festivals, parades, and cultural programming throughout the city.

Commission members unanimously voted to approve the amount of $189,403 in total awards for fiscal year 2020-2021 Annual Grants Program to include the $188,000 annual operating budget and supplemental funds: $134,000 from the Cultural Trust Fund, $54,000 from the General Fund, and $1,403 from the Cultural Trust Fund to supplement the awards.

“This year is unusual in that we did receive for the first time in many years, an increase of $50,000 to the operating budget,” said Rochelle Branch, cultural affairs division manager.

“Last year only one individual artist applied, whereas this year eight applied.

That’s a great win.”

The $50,000 represents a 36% increase over the Grants Program operating budgets of previous years. Every year, the program’s operating budget is supplemented from the Cultural Trust Fund to round out award amounts.

In addition to approving the total awards amount for 2020-2021, the Arts & Culture Commission also approved the proposed award funding structure for the fiscal year 2020-2021 Annual Grants Program, which will consist of descending award amounts based on applicant scores within the different percentiles. The overall funding structure acknowledges the differences in scores between applications, and provides proportional funding for scores in six levels based on requested funding amounts and scores.

The proposed award structure will consist of the following: $18,000 to fund all applicants scoring in the 95 to 100th percentile at 90% of the requested amount; $42,500 to fund all applicants scoring in the 90 to 94th percentile at 85% of the requested amount; $69,000 to fund all applicants scoring in the 85 to 89th percentile at 75% of the requested amount; $31,500 to fund all applicants scoring in the 80 to 84th percentile at 70% of the requested amount; and $28,403 to fund all applicants scoring in the 70 to 79th percentile at 45% of the requested amount (50% for one individual artist).

In 2019-2020, the Annual Grants Program funded 30 projects, and 30 projects are recommended for funding in 2020-2021 as well. Thirty-four applications were submitted by the May 18 deadline in 2020, and out of those applications reviewed, 30 received total scores of 70 or above.

Among the list of applicants approved for funding in 2020-2021 were A Noise Within’s April 2020 production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” including student matinee performances; Armory Center for the Arts’ 12-week visual arts and math integrated curriculum for second grades in six Pasadena Unified School District elementary schools; Light Bringer’s 2021 Pasadena Chalk Festival with chalk murals by more than 200 artists to take place June 20-21 at Paseo Colorado; MUSE/IQUE’s DREAM/HOME, the first concert of the organization’s Around Town series in either October 2020 or Spring 2021; Pasadena Playhouse’s online platform, Playhouse Live, a project that addresses the need to continue theater programming during and after public gathering restrictions are in place, and many others.

SPREADING ‘ESSENTIAL’ HAPPINESS ASSISTANCE LEAGUE DELIVERS CARE PACKAGES TO LOCALS

BY URSULA HYMAN

T

he Assistance League of Pasadena joined seven women-owned businesses to distribute “fun” care packages to local essential workers.

“Happiness is essential too,” says Caitlin Minges, Altadena resident and owner of Fun Club. Minges makes whimsical gifts and reached out to six other female-fronted businesses—Finding Home Farms, Gumball Poodle, Jaeci, JackRabbit Creations, Lucky Feather and Twisted Wares—to contribute new items for the gift bags.

Items have included everything from key chains to tote bags, socks, banners and coasters, among other items. The women included thank-you notes for “working through this crazy time.”

The items are meant to make recipients smile, laugh and feel loved. The donors ask if something does not work specifically for the recipient that he/ she spread the cheer to another.

Members of the nearly 80-year-old Pasadena Assistance League have delivered the cheerful gift bags to local grocery stores and pharmacies, as well as nurses and aids who work with the league’s Assault Survivor Kit and Bear Hugs Programs.

Minges and her peers are continuing to make more gift bags to give back to those who, although seldom celebrated, have made it possible for lives to continue.

FLOWERS WILTED TOURNAMENT OF ROSES REIMAGINES 2021 NEW YEAR’S DAY CELEBRATION

BY KAMALA KIRK

S

ince its inception in 1891, the Rose Parade has been a longstanding New Year’s Day tradition that millions of people around the world attend in-person or watch live on television.

But as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association has canceled the 2021 Rose Parade.

“The health and well-being of our parade participants and guests, as well as that of our volunteer members, professional staff and partners, is our number one priority,” said Bob Miller, 2021 president of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.

“Obviously, this is not what any of us wanted, and we held off on announcing until we were absolutely sure that safety restrictions would prevent us from continuing with planning for the 132nd Rose Parade.”

This is the fourth time in history that the annual parade will not take place. Previously, the parade did not occur in 1942, 1943 and 1945 because of World War II. This year, the Tournament of Roses commissioned a feasibility and safety report for hosting the parade that was conducted by health experts from the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine.

Even with intensive efforts such as 6-foot distancing and face masks to ensure compliance with public health measures, the report indicated that it was likely that Rose Parade activities would create a high-risk environment.

Travel to and from the event, particularly for those visiting from other states and countries by plane, would also present an infection risk to travelers, and could further lead to increased spread of the virus. In addition, preparation for the parade usually begins in February and requires thousands of volunteers to begin construction on the floats in the months leading up to the big day—an activity that would not be in compliance with current safety recommendations.

Despite the cancellation of the parade, the planning for the Rose Bowl Game— which the Tournament of Roses Association also hosts on January 1—is still ongoing.

8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.23.20

“We continue to work with the College Football Playoff and our collegiate partners to explore what this year’s college football season will look like amidst COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines,” said David Eads, executive director/CEO of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.

“While the safety and well-being of the student athletes, university personnel and fans is our top priority, we remain hopeful that the Granddaddy of Them All will take place on New Year’s Day.” The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association is working with broadcast partners and sponsors and is in the process of making plans for reimagined New Year’s celebration. The theme for the 2021 Rose Parade is “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” and celebrates the ability of education to open doors, minds and change lives. While the festivities won’t include the parade’s traditional 5-mile march along Colorado Boulevard, new and safe ways for hosting a celebration that everyone can be a part of are currently being explored. Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.

“I know that I speak on behalf of our 935 volunteer members and the hundreds of thousands in our community for which the Rose Parade is an annual tradition, when I say we will miss the joy of coming together and the making of memories,” Miller said.

“But know that we will not miss this opportunity to celebrate a New Year and healthy new beginnings on January 1.”

Added Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek, “We all know what the Rose Parade means to us here in Pasadena, as well as to New Year celebrations around the world. To know that we won’t get to experience this great tradition on January 1, 2021, is extremely disappointing. However, we also know that we must act responsibly to protect our community in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to working with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses on their reimagined New Year celebration, as well as the return of the Rose Parade on January 1, 2022.”

THE NEW NORMAL

LA CAMARONA THIS NAYARIT NEWCOMER IS STRUGGLING TO STAY AFLOAT STORY BY FRIER MCCOLLISTER | PHOTOS BY LUIS CHAVEZ

L

a Camarona opened on February 17, pitching itself as a “Nayarit-style” seafood buffet.

Its potential as an intriguingly novel addition to the local dining scene seemed obvious. In those more innocent times, there were new restaurants still opening and one’s favorites were certainly not routinely closing.

A roving reporting diner kept lists of the latest openings, and La Camarona was near the top of the hit list when the lockdown was mandated less than a month after La Camarona formally opened. With the restaurant’s concept premised on buffet-style service, it seemed La Camarona was surely doomed. In fact, it was in researching recent restaurant closures in Pasadena that it became clear La Camarona is still alive and kicking.

Recently posted reviews on Yelp also suggested a COVID-safe buffet set-up was introduced. The reviews were uniformly positive in their enthusiasm and piqued interest in further investigation. In the meantime, the county again repealed dine-in service for all restaurants, leaving outdoor tables the only option for on-site eating.

As co-owner and chef Juan Carlos Ley explained over lunch—served al fresco at one of two tables set under blue awnings in the parking lot—“Two weeks ago the

health department came here and said we can’t serve a buffet.” Then dine-in service was canceled again. Every independent restaurateur in the county had to roll with sudden change and blank uncertainty, but Ley and La Camarona have been particularly challenged and uniquely vulnerable.

The next pivot here was a radically reduced menu that still reflected Ley’s Nayarit background and culinary inspirations.

Ley is a native of Tecuala, Nayarit, a small coastal province in Mexico, sharing Pacific coastline with Sinaloa to the north and Jalisco to the south. Seafood figures prominently in its traditional cuisine, particularly ceviches, cocteles, and aguachiles.

Ley is pursuing his passion. “I love to cook. When I was 6 years old, I started to cook.” His professional experience began on the streets of his hometown slinging burgers and tacos to save for his college education and a degree in marketing.

The original prix-fixe buffet menu at La Camarona was offered at $16.95 for lunch and $24.95 for dinner. The buffet featured hot entrees, a fresh seafood and salad bar as well as grilled chicken, steak and chorizo to order.

The seafood bar menu included shrimp and octopus cocteles, shrimp aguachile, as well as fish and octopus ceviches. Hot entrees included deviled shrimp, shrimp with pasta, chicken mole and interestingly feijoada. The presence of the rich Brazilian black bean stew provided a further clue to La Camarona’s provenance.

The restaurant inhabits a cozy, hidden corner in the small strip mall at Glenarm and Marengo. Prior to La Camarona’s opening in February, Ley and his partner John Yoo were operating the space as Café Chimichurri with a menu of Yoo-inspired Brazilian specialties.

The partners have another Brazilian venue— Rio Picanha—in West Covina, which Yoo has been operating by himself, while Ley mans the kitchen at La Camarona.

The new more basic menu at La Camarona includes: street-style tacos ($1.95); fish and shrimp tacos ($3.95); chicken, carne asada or shrimp burritos ($8.95, $9.95, and $11.95); shrimp and octopus cocteles ($15.95); shrimp aguachile offered with a choice of green sauce spiked with relatively mild serranos or red sauce infused with more fiery arbol chiles ($15.95); there is a grilled chicken plate with rice and beans as well as a steak and chorizo plate ($12.95 and $16.95).

What’s for lunch? After consulting with Ley, the shrimp aguachile with the hotter red sauce, a fish taco, and a Negro Modelo comprised the order of the day. Yes, beer and wine are available, including a short list of exotic housemade Micheladas, another Nayarit specialty. A dish typifying coastal Nayarit cuisine, aguachile is most often composed of fresh raw shrimp that is tossed with cucumber and red onion in a chilled broth of lime juice and water steeped in chilies, hence the name “aguachile.” La Camarona’s version featured roughly chopped shrimp, finely diced

cucumbers, and thin slices of red onion. The arbol pepper and lime juice infusion induced tears. Bracingly refreshing, if you can’t enjoy it at the beach—and you can’t—this shady corner of a parking lot on Glenarm is the perfect picnic spot. The fish taco arrived on a 6-inch tortilla, which barely contained the generous hunks of expertly battered and fried tilapia. Here, the traditional cabbage shred topping has been diced and scattered with cilantro. Ribbons of crema, plain and spiced zag across the top of the pile of golden fish.

The presentation is tantalizing but poses a mild challenge in manipulating the enticing composition mouthward. No complaints! On a hot, otherwise dull Wednesday afternoon in July, this simple repast will revivify you from your lockdown lethargy.

Recently, the city barricaded curbside lanes on specific stretches of Colorado Boulevard and Green Street to enable restaurants on the otherwise busy strips to accommodate safely distanced, outdoor dining service.

It’s a welcome gesture from the city, but if restaurants on Colorado or Green in Old Town are still in business at this point, they are likely already established with a patron base and operating reserves. The addition of sanctioned street-side outdoor table service is a needed bonus but for smaller operators with all but hidden venues in more obscure corners of town, the struggle continues. Ley and La Camarona remain poised at the precipice of the uncertain future. When asked if his current operation is sustainable, Ley answers with a tone of vaguely bemused resignation, “I invest all my money here. It’s the only thing I have.”

La Camarona provides the perfect summer antidote to the combination of sweltering heat and anxious tedium that we all endure now.

Authentic Nayarit-style refreshment awaits. ­

ARTIST LITA ALBUQUERQUE’S ‘RED EARTH’ BRINGS CALMNESS

BY KAMALA KIRK

Installation view of “Red Earth” by Lita Albuquerque.

A

fter being closed for more than three months due to COVID-19, The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens in San Marino has reopened most of its garden areas to the public.

Guests visiting the Japanese Garden are greeted by a new site-specific artwork “Red Earth” by artist Lia Albuquerque, an internationally renowned installation and environmental artist, painter and sculptor.

“I was commissioned to create a work for The Huntington’s Centennial Celebration, and I was excited to work in the gardens, and to work in response to nature,” Albuquerque said.

“Robert Hori, cultural creator of the gardens, took me all around the grounds and offered a wide range of sites. When we walked by the western gate of the Japanese Garden and I saw the intimacy of the bamboo grove there, I knew immediately what I wanted to do. It felt like it was the heart of the garden, that I could do something more personal there and speak to that specific site.”

The installation centers around an approximately 3-ton boulder capped with bright red pigment surrounded by bamboo stalks affixed with copper bands that glint under leaf-filtered sunlight. Vibrant red disks have been placed along paths leading toward “Red Earth” to draw visitors to the display.

“I work with color as presence and as a springboard to sensations,” Albuquerque said.

“I drew my inspiration from the green circle of bamboo trees, which seemed like a nature theater on which to place a presence. That gentle theatricality also inspired me, like it was meant to have a work there that would be part of the site itself. The piece is really about the grove, and the light hitting the bamboo which I emphasized by creating copper rings to encircle the bamboo stalks at different heights almost as if it were a musical score, as well as ‘Red Earth’, which is the boulder around which everything swirls. Most of the time, the earth speaks to us if we would just take a moment to listen and to hear. This ‘Red Earth’ surprised even me, after finishing the installation and experiencing it, it’s as if the boulder itself had a presence that was expressing itself to me, asking me to pay attention, asking me to synchronize my heartbeat to hers. Once I did that, I could almost see her breathe. It’s a wonderful moment to be connected like that to the earth itself in the intimacy of the bamboo grove.”

To create “Red Earth,” Albuquerque and her studio team went on a search for the perfect boulder that had to have a certain presence and a certain shape like the crest of a mountain. She knew she wanted Bouquet Canyon rock and found the quarry three hours north of Pasadena, but once there it was not an easy search. At the quarry, the boulders that were already quarried were on the ground and it was hard to see what their shape would be once standing vertically. The boulder could also not exceed 3,000 pounds as it had to be craned over the bamboo without damaging trees.

“I wanted it to have a mass, a presence, which meant a lot of tonnage,” Albuquerque said.

“When we finally found the correct boulder after multiple trips to the quarry, the one that we liked most was 7,800 pounds and had to be cut down and trimmed without losing its natural shape. We installed it on a rainy March 10. The opening was to be on the spring equinox, March 21, the first day of spring. Then during the pandemic, we were able to create the red circles that led the public to “Red Earth” and a few days before July 1, we were able to complete the installation of the red pigment and the copper rings on the bamboo trees. It is one of the few art works that can be physically experienced during this pandemic. That is exciting to me.”

For Albuquerque, the color red has always been about the fiery energy that is at the core of the earth. Back in 1981, she created a project called “The Horizon Is the

Lita Albuquerque

Place that Maintains the Memory” for the Hirshhorn Museum and Gardens, which was about the memory of the earth being seen and maintained by the horizon of the moon. For that exhibit, she poured red powder pigment on the stone, as if the stone were emerging or rising from the core of the earth, bringing with it all its energy. The stone at the Hirshhorn was from a quarry in California and was called Bouquet Canyon rock, which is the same rock that Albuquerque used for “Red Earth.”

“Conceptually it is different, but aesthetically has the same quality, only placed in a different context and at a different time,” Albuquerque said.

“In this case, there is the dichotomy between the presence of a 3,000-pound boulder which is obviously permanent, and the ephemerality of the powder pigment that can be blown way. The gesture of dusting the boulder with pigment is also so ephemeral. The combination of strength and fragility is what I was going for, that we need to pay attention to both.

We certainly understand how changeable things are during this time of the virus. There remain the eternal relationships and fundamental aspects of our existence. Perhaps that quiet theatrical space in the garden, perhaps the mass and presence of the piece, will remind us of that greater sense of being.” n

LIANNE LA HAVAS, Lianne La Havas (Nonesuch): HHHH

Every Other Memory COUNTRY SINGER RYAN HURD RELEASES NOSTALGIC EP

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

C

ountry singers Ryan Hurd and his wife, Maren Morris, are putting their family first during the COVID-19 quarantine.

They welcomed their first child, son Hayes Andrew Hurd, in March and are spending their pandemic-driven break watching him mature.

“We’re enjoying being home,” said Hurd, who lives in Nashville. “We’re proud to be with our son and that part has been a huge positive. We wish we were on the road with our teams, so we could see our fans and play shows. That’s who we are and that’s a huge part of our identity. It’s been cool to see Hayes every day and not miss anything, though.”

The break hasn’t been all about family, though.

Hurd released his latest collection, “EOM,” on June 26. The EP includes an acoustic recording of his latest single “Every Other Memory;” a live version of “Wish For the World” recorded at Nashville’s Cannery Ballroom; his cover of Taylor Swift’s “False God,” as well as new versions of his best-known songwriting hits including “Heartless” and “Sunrise Sunburn Sunset.”

For “False God,” Hurd said it’s fun to dive into other artists’ songwriting.

“When her album came out, I wrote on my story how much I loved that song,” he said. “She reposted my story, so I covered it. I love that song and that album (‘Lover’). She’s somebody I have so much respect for as a songwriter.”

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hurd was playing it live. He said it paid off.

“When you play live music and you have fans in the room, you have Taylor Swift fans in the room,” Hurd said. “She’s the biggest artist in the world. I think it’s cool, too, to hear a man sing a song that was originally written by and performed by a woman. It brings a different perspective.

“I didn’t have to change any pronouns to make it work for me, either. It’s a testament to her writing and the gender norms we express.”

The new single from “EOM” is the title track, “Every Other Memory,” which he cowrote with Cole Taylor and Nathan Spicer. The song is a nostalgic romp through a man’s former relationship with lyrics like: “That last call, first kiss 12 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.23.20

never left my mind/That old school Springsteen gets me every time/And when I see that leather jacket/Think about how you had it.”

Speaking of lyrics, Hurd has had co-pen credits on some of country music’s biggest hits, including “Lonely Tonight” (Blake Shelton), “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” (Luke Bryan), “You Look Good” and “What If I Never Get Over You” (Lady Antebellum), and “Heartless” (Diplo ft.

Morgan Wallen).

“As far as lyrics go, we work so hard on them,” he said. “It’s nice to have people listen to them. I thought the one thing we do so well in country music is nostalgia and painting visual pictures with song.

“It touches on so many different nerves for the listener. I really love the way it turned out.

We knew immediately ‘Every Other Memory’ was going to be special. Everybody’s eyes went up when the band figured it out.”

Music has been Hurd’s calling since his formative years in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

“I think this is the only job I ever wanted since I was 11,” said Hurd, who earned a sociology degree from Belmont University in Nashville.

“I did school, but I thought I would give this a go. I’ve always loved writing songs. Once I found out this is the job I can do, I made sure I really cherished being a songwriter in Nashville.”

And he has done so since then. COVID forced the cancellation of the back part of his headlining tour and he’s “bummed” it didn’t work out.

Hurd said it feels “strange” to be home in July, but to be home with Hayes and Morris is priceless.

“We’ve enjoyed being in Nashville in the summertime,” he said. “There are good parts to this pandemic. We miss the teams and we miss our fans and all the people on the buses, and our friends we see in every city—the people we count on seeing on tour. We’ll see them next year.” n

Ryan Hurd ryanhurd.com facebook.com/RyanHurdOfficial twitter.com/ryanhurd rh.lnk.to/EOM-EP

A relationship is being traced here. However, it isn’t necessary to follow the emotional trajectory of the South Londoner’s exceptional third album to sink into the lush instrumental beds pulsing beneath the summery hooks of “Can’t Fight,” the drumless “Green Papaya,” lighthearted “Read My Mind” and her sultry take on Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes,” with relaxed grooves replacing frenetic hi-hat riffs. By the time La Havas closes with the slow-building “Sour Flower,” inspired by a favorite expression of her Jamaican grandmother’s, her sweet yet tough vocals are dancing jubilantly in her upper register. liannelahavas.com

JESS CORNELIUS, Distance (Loantaka): HHH½

The native New Zealander turned Angeleno signals her unpredictability with sultry rocker “Kitchen Floor,” teasing a new lover, “I forgot to tell you/ I’m from a different country/ And there’s so much I don’t want from you.” The Western-tinged “Here Goes Nothing” spins similarly contradictory warnings over a swoony pop chorus. The album’s second half digs deeper with more psychedelic, raw confessions (“Born Again,” “Palm Trees”), but the standout is hooky single “Body Memory,” grieving the loss of a baby over numbing electronic beats: “I wish it could be simple like it is for you/ But my body has a memory and it won’t forget.” jesscornelius. bandcamp.com

ONENESS OF JUJU, African Rhythms 1970-1982 (Strut): HHH

Cratediggers should rejoice at this newly remastered version of the deliciously funky 2001 compilation. Oneness of JuJu founder and saxophonist Plunky Branch infused the ensemble’s polyrhythmic Afro-Cuban foundation with free jazz and spoken word and, later, elements of disco, hip-hop and R&B with valuable contributions from key musicians’ musicians of JuJu’s heyday (not to mention poets such as Roach Om). Newcomers may just want to dance to the blast-from-the-past rhythms, but this is an unusually astute, 24-track guide through a fertile, still influential intersection of African and American genres.

Highlights: “Space Jungle Funk,” “Be About the Future,” time-spanning “Chants/Don’t Give Up.” onenessofjuju.bandcamp.com/album/africanrhythms-1970-1982

LEE GALLAGHER AND THE HALLELUJAH, L.A. Yesterday (self-released): HHH

Cosmic country-rock with one foot in Gram Parsons-era Joshua Tree and the other in San Francisco circa 1974. Rootsy multi-instrumentalist Jason Soda makes himself essential, magnifying Gallagher’s emotive, reedy vocals with mandolin, slide and electric guitar, and standout tracks such as soulful rocker “Goodnight Sweet Maria,” “Gone Today” and the harmony-buffed “Highway 10” showcase Kirby Hammel’s stirring keyboard work. They don’t reinvent the wheel on this sunny roadtrip, but they make the ride inviting. leegallaghermusic.com

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.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882352SH.
