THINKING OF ROCHELLE Thirty-five years is a milestone to be proud of. Congratulations!

I loved my time at the Pasadena Weekly from the crazy deadlines for special issues to the mystery of who was stealing leftovers from the break room fridge. (Cough, Jim Laris, cough.) But the friendships were the best part of being on staff.

I remained close to Rochelle Ordaz, a former classified ad rep, until her death in 2017. She took tremendous joy in her job and was devoted to her family. Her name was missing from the In Memoriam page and I wanted to make sure that her husband, children and grandchildren know that her friends miss her and think of her often.

WHAT’S THE ANSWER? Kamala Harris was in prosecutor mode during the second Democratic presidential debate, and said it’s not “climate change,” but “climate crisis,” which threatens our very existence as a species.

Joe Biden promises 500,000 charging stations for our new, allelectric automobile fleet.

Bernie Sanders wants to “up the ante” on the Paris climate accord

and make the rest of the world go along with a drastic transformation of the energy system. Millions need to rise up in a revolution against the fossil-fuel industry, the insurance industry, corporate greed in general, he said, and “we only have 12 years.”

Gov. Hickenlooper said Colorado is leading the way on tough methane regulations.

Some follow-up questions that didn’t get asked: 1. Would they outlaw gasolinepowered cars and diesel-powered trucks? How about trucks carrying diesel generators to rescue electric cars stranded between charging stations? How about emergency vehicles or farm equipment or excavation equipment with internal combustion engines?

2. What would supply backup generating capacity when solar and wind facilities are not generating any power (say to supply those charging stations and keep the lights on in the operating room)?

3. How do we prosecute China for building hundreds of coal-fired generating stations?

4. Where do we get jet fuel for our public officials if our own industry is destroyed? From Iran?

5. Who will pay the hundreds of billions of dollars to Third World dictators in reparations for our driving cars and using coal-generated electricity?

6. Does AOC think her mentor Bernie Sanders has the “social intelligence of a sea sponge” to believe her 12-year deadline for Doomsday?

7. What did Gov. Hickenlooper do about methane-emitting cows and termites in Colorado?

Should we still be allowed to eat meat?

For other major issues related to atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate (wildfires, health effects, ocean acidification, sealevel rise, Arctic ice, hurricanes, and more), see Climate Change IQ test. How well does your favorite candidate do?

~ JANE M. ORIENT, MD TUCSON, ARIZONA

TO KAMALA HARRIS: I was so excited watching you during the debate. In addition to agreeing with your stance on many subjects, I greatly admired your ability to intelligently and powerfully state your views. I have thought for quite some time that you would be the best candidate to eviscerate the man currently occupying the White House and lead this country forward.

However, last night I learned that you are participating in a fundraiser with Miguel Bustos, the lobbying executive who defended Wells Fargo during the fake accounts scandal.

I am crushed. I just don’t know how you could do this.

Unfortunately, what this tells me is that if you are elected nothing will really change. Wall Street, and its connections to our health care and Big Pharma, will still run and ruin American lives on a daily basis. We will still have to fear that catastrophic loss is just around the corner.

You are better than this. And, if you don’t think you are, you shouldn’t be running for the office of the president of the United States in the first place.

This breaks my heart. ~ KERRI LUMBERT GENTRY VIA EMAIL

WORD GAMES

CONSUMERS SUFFER WHEN THE GOVERNMENT STOPS BUSINESSES FROM COMMUNICATING TRUTHFULLY ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS The state of Arkansas thinks people are confused about whether a veggie burger comes from a cow. In fact, it thinks people are so confused that it passed a law making it illegal for companies to use words like “meat,” “roast,” and “sausage” to describe products that are not made from animals. Under the law, it doesn’t matter if those words are modified by “vegan,” “veggie,” or “plant-based.”

Rather than focusing on genuine consumer concerns — such as rising health care and education costs — Arkansas politicians have decided to take on an imaginary crisis: confusing a veggie burger for a hamburger, or almond milk for cow’s milk.

Why? To “protect the agricultural producers in the state,” one of the law’s proponents admitted.

Not only is Arkansas’ latest law absurd and unnecessary, it’s also unconstitutional. It violates the First Amendment by censoring truthful speech in order to protect the economic interests of the meat industry. Together with the Good Food Institute, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and the ACLU of Arkansas, we filed a lawsuit today on behalf of Tofurky challenging the law.

From oat milk to meatless burgers, consumers are increasingly interested in alternatives to food products derived from live animals. Right now, most of those alternatives are made from plants. But companies are also investing in technologies that cultivate meat from animal cells, effectively allowing them to make beef without the cow. The meat and dairy industries are worried about these new competitors, identifying them as one of the “major challenges” the animal meat industry faces.

But instead of competing in the free market, industry groups have enlisted friendly state legislatures and regulators to give them an upper hand. Over the past year, states throughout the country, including Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana and South Dakota, passed a new wave of meat censorship laws that prohibit companies from using terms like “veggie bacon,” “cauliflower rice,” or “almond milk.”

The laws’ proponents insist that they’re just trying to prevent consumers from being misled. One former FDA commissioner memorably declared that almond milk is a contradiction in terms because “almonds don’t lactate.” But consumers know that, of course, and it’s absurd to suggest otherwise. As Republican Sen. Mike Lee explained, “No one buys almond milk under the false illusions that it came from a cow. They buy almond milk because it didn’t come from a cow.”

Businesses often rely on figurative language to help communicate information about the flavor, texture, or appearance of their products. Consumers know that “peanut butter” is not made from cows, but the product’s name efficiently informs them that it spreads like butter. “Veggie bacon” is appealing to consumers who enjoy the distinctive taste, smell and crunch of conventional bacon, but who prefer plant-based foods for any number of personal reasons. If companies are forced to describe their products as “savory plant-based protein,” consumers are likely to be much more confused about exactly what it is they’re putting on their plates. And that’s the real purpose of these label censorship laws: creating confusion to protect favored economic interests.

But the First Amendment does not allow the government to censor speech in order to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. After all, consumers rely on the free exchange of truthful information to make their own choices. As the Supreme Court put it in a landmark decision recognizing constitutional protection for commercial speech, “[s]o long as we preserve a predominantly free enterprise economy, the allocation of our resources in large measure will be made through numerous private economic decisions. It is a matter of public interest that those decisions, in the aggregate, be intelligent and well informed. To this end, the free flow of commercial information is indispensable.”

In other words, when the government plays word games to prevent businesses from communicating truthfully about their products, consumers are ultimately the ones who suffer.

Arkansas’ law, and similar laws in other states, must be struck down. ■ Brian Haus is a staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project.

WEB EXCLUSIVE ‘A CALL TO ACTION’

BIDEN SAYS PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FAILURE TO CONDEMN THE RACISTS AT CHARLOTTESVILLE PROMPTED HIM TO RUN At a fundraiser at the home of Pasadena City Councilman John Kennedy, former vice president and Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden said he knew he had to get into the presidential race after the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville two years ago.

“I could not stay on the sidelines anymore,” Biden told about 70 supporters gathered at Kennedy’s home on July 19, according to media pool reporting on the event. “It was a call to action.”

Attendees included former US Labor Secretary and current LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis; Conway Collins, the president and CEO of GRACE, an antipoverty nonprofit in Pasadena; and Rocky Collis, an attorney whose clients have included the US Women’s Soccer Players Association. Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen also attended.

“This election is about determining what kind of America we want going forward,” Kennedy told the Pasadena Weekly. “Democrats are seeking to renew and build an America where the rule of law is the foundational element of our democracy; where we make avenues available for the least in society to succeed; where poor people, black white, brown, red, yellow come together to fight oppression.”

Pasadena has become a main stop for Democratic presidential candidates. So far, Sens. Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand have visited the city, along with Washington Gov. Jay Islee and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro.

Trump has recently faced massive criticism for telling four congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from.

Three of the four freshman congresswomen are from the United States, except for Ihlan Omar who was born in Somalia. Days after the attack, Trump supporters chanted “Send her back,” at a campaign rally in North Carolina.

The president later condemned the chant, and claimed he tried to stop it, but video showed he stood for nearly 15 seconds as the crowd chanted.

One week before the first presidential debate, Biden came under fire after he declared he had worked with racist lawmakers.

Biden recalled how Mississippi Sen. James Eastland called him “son” but not “boy.” Yet they worked together on legislation.

In the debate, Harris scored political points after chiding Biden for opposing busing in the 1970s.

RUBBING OUT ROUNDUP COUNTY SUPERVISORS FORMALLY BAN THE USE OF GLYPHOSATE-BASED PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ROUNDUP

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN AND REMALI DE SILVA

T

he Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has permanently banned county departments from using a controversial weed killer linked to cancer in several lawsuits.

“With environmental and health concerns as top priority, the Board of Supervisors has put a permanent ban on glyphosate-based products,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said in a statement issued Monday. “We are awaiting a report back from our county departments at the end of the year that will determine alternatives and any circumstances where alternatives are not viable.”

Roundup, an easily obtainable herbicide sold in hardware stores and once used by most municipalities, contains glyphosate,

a chemical that is either banned or restricted in communities in 13 states, including California.

On Monday, Maria A, Katas, Caltech director of housing, said the school will stop using “pesticides” and is committed to any needed clean-up efforts after complaints surfaced that the school used a generic version of Roundup at a school housing site. The Pasadena Star-News on Sunday reported the pesticide was sprayed at Caltech.

That news came two months after the Board of Supervisors directed the Department of Public Works, in conjunction with County Counsel, the Departments of Public Health, Parks and Recreation, Beaches and Harbors, and the Agricultural Commission to convene a panel of experts that could hire a consultant to explore options for

vegetation management, especially in areas where the use of traditional alternatives to glyphosate-based products is problematic due to challenges with access, safety and habitat restoration.

The board, which voted for the ban on May 21, will also continue to solicit recommendations from the public on possible alternatives to the use of glyphosatebased products for vegetation management.

The departments will report back to the supervisors with recommendations and any feasible alternatives for the control of vegetation within 180 days.

In March, the Board of Supervisors first approved a motion by Barger to temporarily stop county departments from using the herbicide that contains a chemical believed to cause cancer while a study was conducted and viable alternatives were explored.

The board’s action then came on the heels of a story appearing in the Pasadena Weekly in March revealing Roundup was being sprayed by county workers at a heliport near Councilman Gene Masuda’s district in northeast Pasadena.

County officials began meeting to evaluate the use of herbicides and pesticides after the newspaper spoke with several officials.

“I think the ban is a good idea,” Masuda told the Pasadena Weekly on Monday. “It’s the right thing to do, of course. It is poison. Roundup is dangerous stuff to have in our soil and in the water.”

Barger, a cancer survivor, said “I am hypersensitive to this issue” at the board’s meeting on Tuesday. “There are people who have had immune systems compromised, who are more susceptible.”

Barger met with local resident Darian Donner, whose complaint about the herbicide’s use near her home led to the moratorium, to discuss the county’s use of the popular weed killer.

Roundup, which has been in use since the 1970s, was developed by Monsanto, which was bought in 2018 by Bayer AG, headquartered in Germany, for $62.5 billion. The company has been successfully sued three times by non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who blame their conditions on Roundup.

On July 18 a judge issued a tentative ruling reducing a $2 billion jury award to a couple after finding glyphosate most likely caused their cancer.

According to Bloomberg News, the ruling could “reduce the award by 90 percent or more, putting it in the range of $150 million to $250 million.”

Judge Winifred Smith of the Alameda County Circuit Court denied Bayer’s appeal to overrule the original $2 billion verdict, but said she was “inclined” to reduce the damages.

While attorneys for Bayer called the jury’s verdict “unhinged” back in May, the response to Thursday’s tentative ruling was well received. “The court’s tentative order proposes changes in the damage awards which would be a step in the right direction, but Bayer will wait for a final order on the post-trial motions before commenting in further detail,” company officials said in a statement issued after the ruling.

Earlier this month, another Northern California judge reduced an $80 million award against Bayer to $25 million. All three lawsuits originated in the Bay Area.

Since juries began awarding massive payouts, a slew of commercials have popped up on TV hawking the product, while law firms have also taken to the airwaves searching for possible victims. There are currently more than 11,000 pending cases against Bayer still waiting to be adjudicated. It was not immediately known if any of those cases stem from claims made in LA County.

The classification of glyphosate as a possible carcinogen has been criticized by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which does not consider the chemical a cancer-causing agent. The state EPA, however, does consider it a carcinogen.

In April, a state appellate court found that the state can require labeling of products containing glyphosate herbicide as toxic under Proposition 65, also known as the state Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

Glyphosate was found in 21 oat-based snack products and cereals. Popular among children, all but four of these products were found with glyphosate levels considered unsafe for children, according to CBS News.

In February 2018 a federal judge temporarily ruled against the state’s attempts to require cancer warnings to be placed on food products that contain traces of glyphosate.

General Mills, the maker of the oat snacks in question, claims that food safety is the “top priority” for the company. Pesticides, they claim, are used in “the majority of foods we all eat” and that “experts at the FDA and EPA determine the safe levels for food products,” which their growers follow.

Bayer claims that the glyphosate levels “are far below the strict limits established by the EPA to protect human health.” According to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment, Bayer has a history of “spreading misinformation about pesticide residues.”

The regulations regarding pesticide usage are well-established and the glyphosate level, Bayer has argued, is well below the recommended safety level.

Bayer claims that “glyphosate-based herbicides will continue to play a key role in helping agriculture meet pressing environmental and food security challenges as the global population grows by an expected two billion people through 2050.”

Locally, Pasadena city officials stopped using Roundup in 2018, according to City Manager Steve Mermell.

All told, there are local and state government glyphosate restrictions or bans in place in 13 states.

Other California cities to take action on use of the herbicide include: Los Angeles, Burbank, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Thousand Oaks, Irvine and Richmond. n

ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO FOR PLANETARY SOCIETY’S LIGHTSAIL 2 PROJECT

BY CAROLINE KIMBEL

Using solar wind to travel through space has been a dream for centuries, first imagined by Johannes Kepler in the 1600s.

On Tuesday, solar sailing took another step toward becoming a proven technology when the Pasadena-based Planetary Society’s LightSail 2 mission team successfully deployed the spacecraft’s solar sail.

As of noon Tuesday, “All indications are that LightSail 2’s solar sail has deployed successfully,” according to a live Internet feed of the mission. “Flight controllers sent the deployment command at approximately 11:45 PDT … Telemetry showed the motor count increasing as expected, and the motor appeared to halt at the correct time. LightSail 2’s cameras also appeared to capture imagery as planned.”

The Planetary Society launched LightSail 1, a test “nanosatellite,” in 2015. The test was unable to progress forward because of issues with the engineering. Since then, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students have aided scientists in testing crucial ground station operations in preparation for Tuesday’s mission to have the silver sail soak up power from the sun while in orbit around Earth.

Like LightSail 1, LightSail 2 is a citizen-funded project that plans to test the idea of harnessing the sun’s photons in order to mobilize a spacecraft. Live coverage of the sail deployment at the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo ground station began Tuesday.

Solar sailing transcends the limitations of space travel by utilizing the sun as an inexhaustible source of energy.

LightSail 2 is focused on becoming the first solar sail launched with the purpose of orbiting Earth. Its cube-shaped satellite, or cubesat, is about the size of a loaf of bread and carries a boxing-ring-sized solar sail made of Mylar, which is designed to collect the sun’s photons.

The video from mission control at Cal Poly has been live-streamed at planetary. org/live. n

WHERE’S THE MONEY?

ATTORNEY CLAIMS WOOTEN’S CHECKS FOR LEGAL DEFENSE HAVE BEEN BOUNCING

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

High-profile attorney Christopher Darden claims that he can no longer defend a man accused of bilking the city of Pasadena out of millions of dollars because checks written by his wife are not clearing.

Darden represented Danny Ray Wooten during his criminal trial after Wooten was accused of embezzling $6.4 million from city coffers over 11 years. Wooten was sentenced to 14 years in prison in November. Tyrone Collins, a local electrical contractor who was sentenced to 11 years, was ordered to pay $900,000, according to a statement issued by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Darden, a former deputy district attorney, was one of the key figures in the O.J. Simpson murder trial in 1994 and 1995.

“I received checks that were returned insufficient funds,” Darden wrote to the court.

“Mrs. Wooten has ignored prior correspondence from counsel, but has appeared in this court and attempted to represent herself. There is a large outstanding balance with my office.”

The City Council discussed a civil lawsuit against Wooten and his wife, LaVenta, during Monday’s closed-session meeting. The two sides are scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 7 for a status conference.

Last November, a jury found Wooten guilty of 53 counts that included embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds. Collins was convicted of all 20 counts against him for those types of crimes.

The city was only able to connect Wooten and Collins to $4.6 million of the missing $6.4 million taken in the embezzlement.

Wooten worked in the Public Works Department, which was in charge of placing underground all of the city’s utilities. Between 2004 and 2014, Wooten created false invoices in the Public Works Department, which was in charge of placing underground wiring for all of the city’s utilities.

Invoices were filed for work done by Collins Electric and money was given to Collins.

In many cases the invoices claimed work was performed at addresses that do not exist.

Wooten was able to authorize the payments from an underground utilities fund account. By doing this over time, prosecutors said Wooten embezzled $6.4 million through that account.

City employees signed off on the invoices and returned them to Wooten instead of turning them in themselves.

After getting the appropriate signatures, Wooten would then add extra numbers to the invoices.

According to prosecutors, Wooten who is a minister, created fake bank accounts for two churches, but he was the only person listed on those accounts, according to LA County Deputy District Attorney Bjorn Dodd, who prosecuted the case.

Dodd said Wooten gave some of the stolen funds to Collins.

In the end, city insurers restored $5.4 million, $1 million less than an audit revealed was missing. n 07.25.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

#knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom A personal quest to learn where eggs bought in local stores originated takes interesting turns STORY AND PHOTOS

BY BLISS BOWEN

S

hoppers maneuver around me as I inspect cartons of eggs in the refrigerated section of a local grocer. Blue Sky. Chino Valley Ranchers. Eggland’s. Full Circle Organic. Happy Egg. Heritage Breed. Kroger. Nichols. Organic Valley. Pete and Gerry’s. Simple Truth Organic. 365. Vital Farms. Cage free … free range … hormone-free … soy-free … omega-3 … all natural … dark yolk … farm fresh … organic … pasture raised … certified humane … ethical eggs … distributed from — what, Cincinnati?

Texas? Missouri?

Where are these eggs from?

That scene plays out repeatedly, with differing brands, prices and varieties, at Ralph’s, Stater Brothers, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, other area grocers and neighborhood markets. Queries at certain stores are inadequately addressed. For the record, I’m an avid cook but no egg connoisseur. What’s driving these expeditions is curiosity; I simply want to know where and how my food was raised. Obtaining that information should not be complicated. Like many consumers I’m striving to make responsible choices mindful of sustainability and humane treatment of chickens, and which support local farmers. Buying locally sourced food is common sense.

Defining “local” is tricky. We’ll come to that.

The Cornucopia Institute, a nonprofit organic industry watchdog and information resource for consumers and small farmers, helpfully publishes a Scorecard that rates brands of eggs according to the extent of outdoor access chickens are given, average flock size, and indoor space given each bird, among other criteria. But unless you obtain them from a neighbor or nearby farm, ascertaining where eggs were actually raised can be challenging. That is not inconsequential if you are concerned about carbon footprints, or salmonella outbreaks and groundwater contamination at commercial farms, or the gases and waste generated at CAFOs, the concentrated animal feeding operations (aka factory farms) where most US poultry is unsustainably confined. (According to the Environmental Protection Agency, CAFOs can hold fewer than 9,000 to more than 82,000 laying hens, depending on the operation’s size and the type of manure handling system utilized.)

Egg expiration dates are generally printed on carton ends. Alongside that date there should also be printed a “P,” indicating the plant number of the facility where the eggs, which arrive from different farms, were packaged. According to the US Department of Agriculture, eggs can be sold for up to 30 days after packaging. Once purchased, “you can store fresh shell eggs in their cartons in the refrigerator for four to five weeks” beyond their packaging date. But color, flavor and texture don’t always remain consistent for the duration.

Randomly selecting a carton of eggs at a store, I check the “sell by” date and plant

number where the eggs were packaged. It takes a while to track down the location, thanks to some dead website links, but the Plantbook Query Page for the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service’s Livestock and Poultry Program yields information: the eggs were packaged in Kalona, Iowa. I venture to five local stores to research where more randomly chosen egg cartons from several brands were packaged; four out of 10 were packaged in California (in Colton, Denair, Turlock and Wasco). The others bear plant numbers from packaging centers in Tonopah, Arizona; Berryville, Arkansas; Kalona and Harris, Iowa; Chase, Kansas; and Elizabeth, New Jersey.

There are 2,435 miles separating Elizabeth from Los Angeles, and 1,812 miles between LA and Kalona. Calculating the fuel used to transport them in a refrigerated truck from muggy New Jersey or muggy, buggy Iowa to temperate Pasadena, and how that shapes their carbon footprint and cost — and freshness — is for another story on another day. It’s presently enough to note that, according to the American Egg Board, US egg production totaled 8.56 billion during February, and California is the nation’s sixthlargest egg-producing state (after Michigan, ahead of Minnesota). So why ship eggs here from the East Coast, the South, and the Midwest? What long-term benefit can Golden State consumers derive that outweighs environmental costs and frequent nutritional compromises caused by antibiotic-boosted feed? Sure, all egg handlers must register with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. But. My paternal grandfather was an accountant whose clientele in southeastern Pennsylvania included some small farmers. A few traded goods for services when times were tough, and as a child I was delighted when he’d bear an armload of fragrant berries, peppers, regally purple eggplant, and fresh eggs to the dining table. That helped root my belief in the value of fresh food, and knowing where it was grown.

Sustainable Goals Amelia McDonald, a self-described “recovering lawyer,” runs McDonald’s Urban Farm, a two-acre operation hugging a hillside at the top of Altadena. It’s an active participant in what local author Elisa Callow described in “The Urban Forager” as Altadena’s “emerging small-farms community.”

Passing through the farm’s green gates, a cheery barnyard chorus gradually swells as McDonald leads the way past fenced gardens of greens, onions, nasturtiums, squash, and test plantings. She jokes about how she and her daughter mulch weeds with goat poop, while pointing out pens and coops her husband built. “We use no chemicals, no pesticides,” she says. “We do everything we can to be as sustainable as possible. We don’t have a compost pile because the chickens eat everything.” She says the farm is home to “50 to 99 poultry at any given time” (99 is their limit) and 14 playful dwarf Nigerian goats

Now, when “everything’s blooming,” their chickens dine on “greens, grass, bugs” daily; in winter, they eat mostly grain. “We get about 50 or 60 eggs a day. I choose chickens for egg productivity as well as how they look,” she says, opening a pen door. “Some of these are special breeders. … We give our chickens names, the ones that are not getting eaten.”

McDonald says they are permitted for selling poultry meat, but they were unable to purchase Red Ranger chickens or turkeys this year because of the quarantine.

(A February outbreak of Virulent Newcastle Disease,

which is fatal for birds but has no or very little effect on humans, prompted state officials to declare a poultry quarantine in LA, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. More than a million birds have been euthanized, most of them from commercial operations.)

McDonald introduces me to her “big layers,” including a flock of handsome Speckled Sussex chickens (“Prince Harry” and “Meghan Markle 1 through 10”), a Cinnamon Queen named Freddie Mercury, a Silkie called Liza Minnelli, and a kooky-looking Frizzle chicken. A Black Copper Marans rooster crows suddenly, as if on cue. I notice wrinkled patches of white skin angled below one hen’s eyes; they’re earlobes, and suggest what color her eggs will be.

Down a hay-strewn path, in the next pen, McDonald calmly retrieves eggs from a basket: beige, brown, cream, blue- and olive-tinged. Their rustic palette of colors is reminiscent of an Andrew Wyeth painting. A black-eared white rabbit nibbles near the feeder; in the opposite corner, two red-combed brown hens take dust baths.

“We have never had mites, although it’s OK if someone did; it happens with backyard chickens. But they take a dust bath and it keeps them healthy,” she explains. “This is the problem with conventional egg farms. They’re in cages, they have no access to dirt, and of course they’re going to get mites; of course they’re going to get sick; then you have to give them antibiotics, and then the food that’s coming out of them is not OK.” Therein lies a hidden cost of “cheap” food we consume without due consideration of its provenance.

She plunges her scooped hands into a metal pail of organic, whole-grain, non-GMO chicken food from nearby Fable Farm & Feed as birds look on intently. “We could eat this — this is peas, lentils, seeds, wheat,” she says. “This is the most important thing to me.

“These guys go through 150 pounds of feed a week. It is the end of June, and I am just about to break even on eggs to feed. Not including straw, not including new nesting boxes, not including time, water, labor, feeders.”

What Is Local?

To help support the farm, McDonald teaches classes (including a cooking class Aug. 17, and a goat class in the fall; info will be available at mcdonaldsurbanfarm.org). “That’s a way we connect with our community and say, ‘You don’t have to be on two acres; you can have six chickens in your backyard. You can do this.’” She will also participate (as will Callow) in “Women in Food,” an event moderated by Armory Center for the Arts Executive Director Leslie Ito at Pasadena Central Library on Sept. 26.

McDonald says she’s a “mostly self-taught” farmer, although her “recovering hippie” parents grew produce while she was growing up in Eagle Rock in the ’70s. She and her husband bought this property in 2012 and started the farm in 2015. For two-and-a-half years, until January, she hauled eggs, fruits and vegetables one mile to the Altadena Farmers Market in a golf cart (“a zero fossil fuel trip”).

Now she makes Wednesday and Saturday deliveries to private clients in her car; at Mother Moo Creamery in Sierra Madre, cartons are stamped with the Julian date on which the eggs were laid. (Per the USDA, Julian dates are codes “starting with January 1 as 001 and ending with December 31 as 365.”) Saturday customers receive eggs “laid since Wednesday,” she says; Wednesday customers take delivery of eggs “laid since Saturday.” She often hashtags posts to the farm’s Instagram account “#doyouknowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom” and “#knowyourfarmer.”

For a while last year I bought eggs at a Pasadena farmers market — two dozen, sandwiched between rubberbanded eggshell flats, open at the sides. The first time, I asked if they were from a local farm. “Yes.” Where? “Ontario.” Thirty-five miles away. I ask McDonald to define “local.”

“You have to look at everything you’re bringing into your food system as a whole and balance it out. Maybe you can’t get super local meat, but you can get eggs within your town, or five miles away. Let’s say you live somewhere where you can’t get the eggs so you’ve gotta go 10 miles; maybe that’s OK if you’re butchering your own chickens. Local is five feet for me, for the majority of our food, but that can’t be for everyone.”

She mentions the 100-mile diet. The idea was popu-

larized by “The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating,” Canadian authors’ Alisa Smith & J.B. MacKinnon’s 2007 chronicle of eating only foods produced within 100 miles of their apartment.

“The 100-mile diet is a sustainable goal for people in the United States, given our broken system,” McDonald says.

“Some people consider that local, even hyperlocal.”

Closeness and Community In Pasadena, the industrious Dervaes family’s Urban Homestead is an enterprising community hub. They sell produce, honey and eggs raised in the 1/10-acre-sized garden surrounding the early 20th-century Craftsman-style house they’ve occupied since 1985. They host classes (beekeeping, bread baking, preserve making) and occasional acoustic concerts and tours. Proceeds support the Homestead.

Foothill communities are home to many backyard farmers. In Sierra Madre, I pass two teenage girls selling fresh lemonade from a corner stand on my way to visit a woman who’s been raising hens in her backyard for decades. As a stay-at-home mom who was organic enough to make her own baby food, she originally wanted chicken fertilizer for her organic garden and “to be close to the earth.” Now, instead of 17 to 20 hens she keeps only two Barred Rocks, one Buff Orpington, and a rescued Rhode Island Red. They live in a tidy fenced enclosure alongside the garden, tucked nightly into their coop before dark to safeguard against bobcats, coyotes and raccoons. They provide fresh eggs — and company.

“I’m a caregiver. I need to take care of something. They’re my girls. … They’re daily work and you can’t ignore them.

The grandkids love them.

“I probably have $2 eggs,” she says, laughing. “I buy and feed them only organic food, because it’s going to me and my kids and grandkids. There’s no waste, ever. Instead of composting, I give everything to the chickens except potato peels; they can’t have anything from the nightshade family unless it’s cooked.”

She sends me off with four eggs collected the day before from her “girls.” I watch as she bundles them from her kitchen counter into a half-carton adorned with a handcolored chicken print, then drops in plump, red and orange grape tomatoes from her garden. Back home, I pop one in my mouth and it bursts with juice, sweet and tasting like summer; in that moment, I time travel back to childhood in South Jersey when I would “help” my grandmother select beefsteak tomatoes at her favorite farm stands.

The eggs are pale tan, almost the color of desert sand. Gently, I roll one around in my hand, and retrieve a jumbo-sized Trader Joe’s egg from my fridge for informal comparison. The TJ’s egg is nutty brown, about 20 percent larger, and smooth. Store-bought eggs are washed to remove any surface film; fresh farm eggs are not sticky, but their shells are more tactile. I can’t readily discern anything on the tan egg by eyeballing it, but as I run it carefully under cold water I feel its skin-like covering dissolve between my fingers.

I crack two of those tan eggs into an oiled iron skillet on my stovetop. The whites pool thick and close — they aren’t at all runny — and the brilliant orange yolks plop firm and round in the center, with a Jello-like bounce. I sprinkle them with ground pepper, think of a neighbor’s aptly nicknamed fried egg poppies, and flip the eggs with a smile.

They taste delicious.

W

e are officially in full summer swing and gallivanting around Pasadena is the thing to do. While trying new restaurants is literally my job, there are few things that I love more than visiting places that are tried and true favorites, whether or not I’ve already been there. Perhaps I trust reviews and recognition of restaurants in the city too much, but if our readers have nothing but good things to say, I can almost guarantee that I’ll love it. It seems as though Kabuki Japanese Restaurant is one of those longtime favorites that never disappoints, so I knew it was time for another visit. After a day of walking around Old Pasadena, a friend and I worked up an appetite and swung by the restaurant’s Colorado Boulevard location at around 2:30 — just in time to catch some of their amazing lunch specials.

It wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday afternoon, so we were seated at a booth right away. I scoured through the menu and was so hungry; it was almost too much of a challenge to narrow down what it was I wanted to try. We overheard a waiter explain the lunch specials to the couple next to us with such enthusiasm that I knew that would be my best

MORE THAN A MEAL couple next to us with such enthusiasm that I knew that would be my best bet, not to mention the price-per-portion ratio was amazing.

It was easy to go with the Ninja Deluxe ($12.95), which comes with chicken teriyaki, shrimp and vegetable tempura, and three pieces of a California Roll with miso soup, a side salad and rice. My friend and I shared the entirety of the meal. Miso and the side salad came out first, and both were delicious. The miso broth was one of the more flavorful soups I’ve had, and I got through the entire bowl of salad.

Next came the remainder of the aptly named Ninja Deluxe. The tempura was delicious (although you can’t really go wrong with tempura), and the chicken serving was a good-sized portion alongside the rest of the meal. I don’t do sushi often, so this was the perfect combination for someone like me.

My friend ordered the sushi moriawase, which was the ideal combination to get a roundup of the assorted sashimi that Kabuki serves. It came with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, albacore and a California roll of six pieces, as well as a choice between miso soup or salad. He went with the salad. He wasn’t keen on the California Roll so he requested to substitute to a Philadelphia Roll for an extra dollar, and our waitress agreed.

The entire meal came to only $14.95 without substitution and is a must-try during lunch hour.

In addition to our combination plates, I ordered the California Tempura Roll ($8.95), which is a

fried California roll served with eel sauce. It was clear that we both liked anything of the fried, tempura variety, and this fit the bill perfectly.

Between the two combination plates that we shared with one another, and the additional specialty roll, we could not ask for more in terms of variety, amazing pricing, as well as an overall great experience. The fish and shrimp looked and tasted amazingly clean, the chicken was flavorful and tender, and all of our sides were outstanding on their own — not just fillers as is the case at many of the restaurants that I’ve frequented.

We did request a drink menu but our waitress didn’t make her way back to take our orders.

Luckily, we found ourselves too full to add more anyway. It would be best to save that for their great menu for happy hour, which is between 3 and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Small sides ring in at $4.95, $5.95, and $6.95 and include fried gyoza dumplings, sesame chicken, and calamari rings, just to name a few of the offerings. They have a short list of some of their best classic rolls for $3.50 and $4.50, and specialty rolls for $7.50 and $8.50. Happy hour drinks include two different cocktail options: the Tokyo Mojito ($8.50) or the Sake Sangria, my personal favorite for $7.50, and sake, wine, and beer.

Stop by during the day or during the late evening hours and enjoy a good meal and drink.

It’s no wonder Kabuki is such a favorite of Pasadena Weekly readers.

JOYOUS JEWELRY Pasadena Bead & Design show held at Hilton Pasadena Friday through Sunday

Since 1992, Bead & Design shows have promoted a wide diversity of exhibitors, with 2,500 artisans and tradespeople having traveled from 50 countries to come together and exhibit their work. This weekend, the latest Pasadena Bead & Design show will be held at the Hilton Pasadena, located at 168 S. Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, bringing together hundreds of exhibitors with a broad array of intriguing talks for jewelry aficionados.

Running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, the event features such workshops as “Jingle, Jangle, Bangles!” in which instructor Despina “Espie” Buoncristiani discusses her lifelong love of taking apart old necklaces and creating new pieces from them. Some hand tool experience is helpful but not required, with the workshop taking place from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at a cost of $140.

Another prime talk is “Let’s Face It! Copper Electoformed Pendant,” in which instructor Terry Henry will teach all skill levels how to create their own piece of wearable art by using the process of copper electroforming to turn porcelain cabochons into pendants. The cost is $135 plus a $75 to $95 materials fee.

The cost for the show is $8 online or $10 at the door. Visit BeadandDesign.com.

CLEARING THE AIR LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva hosts Altadena town hall Aug. 1

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva will host a town hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Dr., Altadena. The free and public event will provide an opportunity for people to have their voices heard.

Villanueva defeated ex-Sheriff Jim McDonnell in November, and becoming the first candidate to oust an incumbent sheriff in more than a century. During his campaign, Villanueva vowed to kick federal Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents out of LA County jails.

Villanueva retired from the department in February 2018 after more than 30 years on the job. He last worked as a watch commander at the sheriff’s Pico Rivera station, overseeing station deputies. He has never held a command position inside the department.

McDonnell, the former chief of Long Beach police and a 29-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, was elected in a landslide in 2014, pledging reform in the wake of a jail abuse and corruption scandal that led to the conviction of dozens of deputies and some of the top brass, including former Sheriff Lee Baca and former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka.

EMOTIONAL SERVICE

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF CONTACT WITH ANIMALS Dear Patti, My dad is 76 and hasn’t been doing well ever since we lost my mom four years ago.

He’s been depressed and isolating himself from friends and family. My sisters and I have been very worried and decided to get dad a dog. We found a wonderful rescue dog that my father named Champ. Ever since, little Champ has been the only thing that has lifted my father’s spirits. Unfortunately, Dad now gets anxious if he has to go anywhere without Champ.

Dad’s neighbor told him that he could a get a certificate online to make Champ a therapy dog, and then he would be able to take Champ everywhere. My older sister believes that the online certificate is a scam and that in order to be legitimate Champ would have to become a service dog. My father insists that’s not true.

I’m confused about what’s legal or not. Champ has been very good for my dad, and I don’t see anything wrong with taking him places if it helps dad feel better.

— Diana Dear Diana, Many studies have shown the positive effects of contact with animals, such as improved energy levels, alleviation of anxiety, and a generalized positive effect on a person’s emotional wellbeing. Both Florence Nightingale and Sigmund Freud wrote about the emotional benefits that they observed pets had on their patients. Freud observed that the presence of his dog Jofi’ encouraged his patients struggling to open up emotionally. In my own practice, I often take my rescue dog Daisy with me and have clearly seen how her presence helps put patients at ease.

While you’ve seen the positive effects that Champ has on your father’s mental state, it’s important to understand the difference between service animals and emotional support animals.

A service dog is individually trained to perform tasks for someone with a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. In order to qualify for a service animal, a person must be disabled in a way that substantially limits them in at least one major life function, such as caring for oneself, walking, seeing, or hearing. More minor impairments do not qualify. Service animals are trained to work with their handler’s disability and must know how to perform tasks on command. Common types of service animals include guide dogs for visual impairments, hearing or signal dogs for hearing impairments, and psychiatric service dogs that are trained to detect and alleviate psychiatric episodes. Providing companionship or protection are not considered appropriate service animal duties.

In your dad’s case, it doesn’t sound like he would meet the disability requirements for a service dog. Instead, it might be a good idea for him to get evaluated for an emotional support animal.

An emotional support animal (ESA) provides therapeutic benefits, such as comfort and emotional support, to a person suffering from a medically diagnosed mental, emotional, or other qualifying disability. Support animals provide companionship and relieve stress, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or phobias. However, they do not receive specialized training to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities. While service animals must be ready to perform specific tasks on cue, an ESA’s job is solely to provide emotional comfort.

To qualify for an ESA, a person must be diagnosed with a qualifying disability by a licensed mental health professional. There are 40 disabilities that can qualify, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and schizophrenia. The mental health professional must provide their patient with an ESA letter, stating that an ESA will directly benefit their patient in regard to one or more symptoms of his/her disability. The patient should carry the letter at all times when out in public with their ESA. It is not possible to receive a valid ESA letter without speaking to a licensed mental health professional, preferably in person. There are many scam websites that will claim to evaluate a person’s need for an ESA online and provide an ESA letter or certification, but these are fraudulent. Any website that claims that to determine a person’s need for an ESA, without the person speaking to a licensed mental health professional, is unlawful.

Although no training is legally required for ESAs, it would be preferable for Champ to receive basic obedience and conditioning training. Champ would be expected to be under your father’s control at all times and perform his therapeutic duties in a non-disruptive manner. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not have public access rights to private businesses or restaurants. However, many businesses choose to allow ESAs, although they may ask to see an ESA letter as a condition of permitting entrance. n Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena. Contact her at (626) 584-8582 or email pcarmalt@aol.com. Visit her website, patticarmalt-vener.com.

VALLI GUY

JOHN LLOYD YOUNG TURNS HIS TONY-WINNING STARRING ROLE AS FRANKIE VALLI IN ‘JERSEY BOYS’ INTO A CLASSIC POP EXTRAVAGANZA SUNDAY AT THE ROSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

N

o actor in the history of Broadway has managed to make as big an impact with one role as John Lloyd Young did with his star turn as 1960s singing superstar Frankie Valli in the instant smash musical a “Jersey Boys.” In 2006, at just 31 years old, he became the only actor to date to have received Lead Actor in a Musical Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World awards for a Broadway debut.

He went on to reach double platinum status with the play’s cast album, as it attained the rare feat of selling over two million copies, and then went on to another milestone when director Clint Eastwood picked him to play Valli in the 2014 movie version of the play. Yet Young has been eager to introduce himself to his “Jersey” fans and other music lovers, and will do so locally with a Sunday night concert at The Rose in Pasadena.

“Right now, not promoting an album so much as singing from an album of retro hits I made and also ‘Jersey Boys,’ a ‘get to know me’ tour outside

of playing Frankie Valli, which is how most know me,” says Young. “We do a string of dates everywhere, just did San Francisco, and have several East Coast dates next month. I do a good amount of Frankie Valli songs, but also other classics from that era, like ‘Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me’ by Mel Carter, ‘Lady Willpower,’ ‘Unchained Melody.’ It’s a night of ‘Jersey Boys’ songs, early rock, R&B and doo wop.”

Young landed the coveted role of Valli after establishing himself in off-Broadway theater in New York City for several years. The play had originated at the La Jolla Playhouse before heading to Broadway and he had lost out to another actor on that early version, but he “seized the role and was ready for it” when the producers recast it for the Great White Way a year later.

He immediately headed to Vegas to see Valli in action after landing the role, but didn’t choose to meet the legendary singer. Instead, he “took notes on a napkin” while observing his performance and then set about getting to know Bob Gaudio, who was a fellow member of the Four Seasons and thus one of the real-life “Jersey Boys,” in addition to being the vocal group’s songwriter.

“I really needed to fly to Vegas because YouTube had just debuted so I had no video footage to study his face and physicality,” recalls Young. “I studied Frankie’s recordings because I had to get close vocally, but I had a lunch with Bob since I felt someone’s best friend would get you closer to the truth than the person themselves.

“The biggest takeaway was he was deeply influential in doing the show on Broadway, London and the movie with Eastwood,” Young continues. “Basically he told me that before I even set into a script or rehearsal room, that Frankie Valli is a little man with a big heart and I think that comes through now in the singing. Now I’m not singing as Frankie but I’m singing as myself, I’m a little man, I do have a big heart, and I put a lot of that into my singing.”

Young played on Broadway for the first two years of its 11-year run, and also played six weeks on London’s storied West End before re-

turning to the Broadway production for a few months in 2013. He knew that Valli was “one of those once in a lifetime roles, like F. Murray Abraham had in ‘Amadeus,’ Dustin Hoffman in ‘Tootsie,’ or Ben Kingsley in ‘Gandhi,’” and loved “the really cool and huge opportunity to play a beloved singer in a movie that could last generations like ‘La Bamba’ or ‘The Doors.’”

“It was very different winning the role for Clint, because I had made such an impression in the original,” says Young. “It was years later when Clint was attached to the movie so I was grateful to be remembered and at least audition for the movie. But what did it was I was back on the show when he was putting it together and he went to see me on Broadway at my absolute best, and as a result I didn’t even have to audition for him. My performance onstage was my audition.”

There have been other amazing experiences along the way, as he performed with his original Broadway cast mates at appearances before Congress and at the White House as well. In fact, he made such a strong impression on President Barack Obama, who had the cast perform at a state dinner for the Japanese prime minister since it was the PM’s favorite movie, that he was appointed to the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

Young resigned from the commission in August 2017 in protest against what he deemed President Donald Trump’s “hateful rhetoric.” He recently moved to Pasadena, making this hometown show easy on his schedule.

“I’m a New Yorker born and bred, so for me to be able to go to Old Pasadena and have any cuisine the world has to offer at so many of those restaurants, IPic movie theater, and the South Pasadena farmer’s market is a real joy,” says Young. “I joined Michael Feinstein for the season finale at the Arboretum last year, an easy car ride from my house. I’m a Buddhist, I speak Mandarin and there’s a lot of Mandarin in San Marino, so I feel really at home.” n John Lloyd Young performs at 9 p.m. Sunday at The Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $28 to $58. Call (888) 645-5006 or visit wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com.

ANGIE MCMAHON, Salt (Dualtone): HHHH

The Australian singer-songwriter is self-assured enough not to crowd her smoky alto with anything but her electric guitar and spare drum fills for opening track “Play the Game.” That sets expectations for brooding atmosphere, which are then upended when drums turn stormy during the wary “Soon,” but surprise is built into this 11-track set. McMahon has a knack for composing strong, melodic pop songs that capture the duality of desire and defeatism with concise honesty, conveyed in shimmering tones. Highlights: the ingratiating “Slow Mover,” “Pasta” (“How am I simultaneously on top of someone’s pedestal/ And also underneath someone else’s shoe/ Oh, isn’t it a shame about the view”).

UK OCTET IBIBIO SOUND MACHINE BRINGS ITS THRILLING ELECTRO-FUNK-DISCOWEST AFRICAN HIGHLIFE FUSION TO MOROCCAN LOUNGE TUESDAY

I

bibio Sound Machine frontwoman Eno Williams sings more in English than on previous recordings during “Doko Mien,” the album the UK octet released here in March, but that did not signal a shift away from the Nigerian folk tales or West African highlife rhythms from which the first-generation Londoner has drawn inspiration since ISM’s self-titled 2014 debut. It’s just another element in the collective’s expanding sonic palette, which they’re bringing to Moroccan Lounge in Downtown LA Tuesday night.

“Nyak Mien” feels like a party-time shout across cultures, with ululating, reverb-processed calls that promptly give way to horn blasts, synths, and Ghanian guitarist Alfred Bannerman’s cheery highlife guitar lines.

Prince would doubtless have approved of dance floor magnets like “Wanna Come Down,” “Basquiat” and disco-fied title track “Tell Me (Doko Mien).” ISM’s

hip-twitching combination of squiggly synths, elastic grooves, marching drumbeats, electronic bleeps, Afrobeat horns and Bannerman’s funky leads instantly brings the Purple One to mind, while Williams’ smoky warmth is occasionally reminiscent of Caron Wheeler during Soul II Soul’s late-’80s heyday, especially during “Kuka” or when Williams invokes the hypnotic title phrase of “I Know That You’re Thinking About Me” or turns inward for “Quiet” (from ISM’s captivating 2017 album “Uyai”). The swaying, bilingual “Guess We Found a Way” at album’s end comes across like a declaration of universal soul: “Guess we found a way to speak to you/ Guess we found a way to say what’s true/ To say what’s real.”

ISM’s one of the more exciting bands to storm the global stage over the past decade, threading together intercontinental rhythms and stories of citizens of the world. Williams is the undeni-

able musical centerpoint of their polyrhythmic fusion. Onstage, she’s a commanding presence, fronting the colorfully garbed ensemble like the most joyful of no-nonsense divas, dancing and smiling wide while singing with enough fervent emotion that words sometimes feel superfluous. That said, unless you speak Ibibio it won’t be obvious that the indignant “Give Me a Reason” (from “Uyai”) protests Boko Haram’s notorious kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls. There’s no mistaking her demands or message during the Donna-Summerwould-be-proud anthem “She Work Very Hard” or the terrifically funky “I Need You to Be Sweet Like Sugar (Nnge Nte Suka).”

Don’t be surprised if Angelenos sing along on Tuesday. n Ibibio Sound Machine at Moroccan Lounge, 901 E. First St., downtown LA, at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 30; $20. All-ages show. Info: (213) 395-0610. ibibiosoundmachine.com, themoroccan.com

ZAC HARMON, Mississippi BarBQ (Catfood): HH½ Teaming with Stevie Ray Vaughan producer Jim Gaines, the Mississippi native delivers meaty guitar riffs, sensuous grooves, and feel-good paeans to simple joys like companionship and, yes, barbecue.

Sonically it resembles 2012’s “Music is Medicine.”

Despite Harmon’s fretwork and smooth croon, LA blues fans who’ve followed him since 2003’s “Live at Babe & Ricky’s Inn” will likely prefer the forthright funkiness of “Make a Dollar Out of Fifteen Cents” to slick “Desperate Love.” At Central Avenue Jazz Festival in LA Sunday, July 28. zacharmon.com

Alex Owen describes his songs as “weird country music,” which conjures images of beer-fueled shuffles and honky-tonking romance, but there’s more at work. Melodies and performances are ear-catching, and with characters searching for answers, balance, and connection, this unpretentious set turns out to be a timely response to an unsettling, uncertain world. Highlights: “Wild Animals” (“When did acting dumb stop being so much fun?”), “Lead Me On” with SieSie Benhoff, “Emmylou,” and the eerie, steel- and reverb-washed title track (“You are no Hemingway/ There’s no John Wayne, no matter what they say”). laserslasersbirmingham.com

Sweet Like Sugar, Hot Like Fire

Backed by the Self-Made Men from 2017’s “Prick of the Litter” plus saxophonist Dana Robbins, the Texas roadhouse king sounds like he’s having more fun than he’s known in years, energized by jazz and swing elements spicing his trademark blues-soulrock mix. Grittily expressive, he dips into standardstyle balladry (“Any Other Way”) and darker twists (“Temporarily Insane”), while his sly humor zings through “If I Hock My Guitar” and “No Chicken on the Bone,” the latter a sprightly showcase for pianist Kevin McKendree and violinist Stuart Duncan. delbert.com

Farsighted Theater A NOISE WITHIN PRESENTS INVISION FESTIVAL, STAGED READINGS OF FUTURE PRODUCTIONS, FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

PHOTO: Shawn Harris

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI As one of the best repertory theaters in the nation, A Noise Within has devoted more than 25 years to presenting elaborate and inventive productions of classic plays ranging from the best of Shakespeare to “Man of La Mancha” and the farce “Noises Off.” This weekend, they will be spotlighting several of the plays they are considering for the future by hosting staged readings of several shows in the InVision festival from Friday through Sunday.

ANW is teaming up with some of the top ethnic theaters in the Los Angeles area to ensure a spirit of diversity and inclusion, following the initial festival in 2016. The packed schedule will begin with a happy hour at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the ANW lobby, followed by two staged readings at 8 p.m.: Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ “Appropriate” by ANW and Anton Chekhov’s “The Sinner from Toledo” performed by the Latino Theatre Company.

Saturday will feature “Eduardo Machado’s “Broken Eggs” at 2 p.m. and a second reading of “Appropriate” at 5 p.m., with a special dinner under the front lawn tent running from 5 p.m. and lasting long enough for “Appropriate” attendees to enjoy the meal. The evening will end with the first readings of Amiri Baraka’s “Dutchman” and Douglas Turner Ward’s “Day of Absence” performed by Lower Depth

Theatre Ensemble in the Lawrence Hall rehearsal room and Philip Dawkins’ “Le Switch” by ANW at mainstage at 8 p.m.

Sunday will see ANW produce a reading of Lauren Gunderson’s “The Book of Will” at 2 p.m., while Lower Depth Theatre Ensemble will perform second readings of “Dutchman” and “Day of Absence” at 5 p.m. before a final dinner under the front lawn tent from 5:30 p.m. The fest closes out with the East West Players of Frances YaChu Cowhig’s “Snow in Midsummer” at 7:30 p.m.

“The main thing is that a festival like this creates a conversation,” says festival co-organizer and ANW resident artist Deborah Strang. “The last theme was ‘American Dream,’ so all the shows were American plays and the discussions were about the playwrights, the plays and how they related to one another.

“This year’s is a vision of the world where we all live together in all communities — whatever race, gender or age,” she adds. “All of them deal with that sort of conversation. Everybody is welcome to come, and the discussions after the shows will have people of different backgrounds sitting down and speaking with one another. Our patrons from the first fest asked when are you going to do this again? So we know the anticipation for this is great.”

Another key figure in the fest is Kinan

Valdez, a 25-year ensemble member of El Teatro Campesino who will be directing the LTC’s production of “The Sinner from Toledo.” The play asks the question: If you were forced to choose between the love of your life and absolution for your sins, what would you do? Would you save your soul or the soul of the one you love the most?

“It’s essentially an adaptation by Oliver Mayer of the Chekhov short story, and it’s a little-known short story that he thought would be excellent source material and it has relevance in this day and age,” says Valdez. “It takes place in the time of the Spanish Inqusition, which lasted quite a few centuries.

“It was a time when Spain had completely managed to finish new conquests and reclaimed national territories, then forcibly removing Muslims and Jewish populations and making them convert,” continues Valdez. “In this day and age, there’s this spread of reactionary impulses. It’s a piece that reflects that, and that’s the power of theater.” ■ The InVision Festival takes place from 6:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday night at A Noise Within, 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena.

Admission to each reading is free, with the dinners costing $25 per person. VIP passes guaranteeing seating at all eight shows and the two dinners are $150. Call (626) 356-3100 or visit anoisewithin.org.

Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood “

here’s a strange allure hidden beneath the surface of some of Quentin Tarantino’s most popular films: his willingness to audaciously rewrite history and play games with time in order to achieve a happy ending despite the bleakest of circumstances.

In “Django Unchained,” Jamie Foxx’s title character got to unleash hell upon his slave owners and exact brutal retribution in a way that few if any real-life slaves were able to achieve. And in “Inglourious Basterds,” a ragtag team of soldiers were able to wipe out Hitler and his highest circle of Nazis in a blaze of fiery glory.

In his latest film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” the writer-director plays fast and loose with one of the most gruesome mass killings in modern times on the eve of its 50th anniversary: the murder of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four of her friends on Aug. 8, 1969 by members of Charles Manson’s psychopathic cult.

“Hollywood” centers its focus primarily upon two fictitious side characters — a fading 1950s-era TV Western star named Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his best friend and stuntman, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) — who are slowly slipping down the drain of the film and TV industry a decade after their prime. Rick at first is in denial about his fall from being the heroic star of a series called “Bounty Law” in the late ’50s to being a guest bad guy on sporadic TV series at the time of the movie in 1969.

As Rick veers between a falsely strong front and frequent crying jags, both compounded by too much liquor, Cliff is carefree and laughing his way through life. But when Rick gets told by a producer (Al Pacino) that his only shot at regaining stardom lies in heading to Italy to make Westerns and James Bond knockoffs, both men face a fearful look at reality.

Meanwhile, real-life actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) is on the rise, and lives next door to Rick with her acclaimed director husband Roman Polanski. Rick believes that if he can just get a chance to interact with the power couple, they would give him the opportunity to be a star again.

The third main storyline follows a mysterious group of young women whom Cliff keeps running into while driving around Hollywood. When he agrees on the third sighting to give one particular woman a ride to where she lives under the rule of Charles Manson at a place called Spahn Ranch, he realizes something very strange and very wrong is looming among that group in the hills.

Tarantino ultimately weaves these three highly disparate strands together in a very bizarre, action-packed

alternate reality in its final half hour. The sequence is funny and exciting, but it left a funny taste in my mouth when considering that the film is in a way making light of a horrific situation.

If you don’t mind a movie bending reality on a tragic circumstance to create a happy ending, you’ll be fine with its approach. If you think that tragedies are sacrosanct, you won’t.

That said, “Hollywood” continues Tarantino’s tradition of drawing iconic performances out of his leads, with DiCaprio and Pitt clearly having a blast playing these two good ol’ boys while still showing layers of emotional depth at unexpected moments. DiCaprio in particular is fun to watch as he reveals his impressive comedic abilities in a tightrope performance that recalls his excellent work in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and the pairing of perhaps the two top movie stars of our times is an ingenious delight.

Robbie as Tate has less to do, as she’s mostly seen as a sweet party girl who happens to be landing some key roles and spends a big chunk of her screen time watching herself in a movie at the Bruin Theatre in Westwood, soaking up the laughter of the audience around her. The Manson cult members are mostly ciphers, with Manson barely appearing onscreen at all.

The fact that the Tate and Manson cult stories are relatively sparse in the movie poses some structural problems that make them of less interest than they should be.

Tarantino also weakens the film by indulging his overlong plot to a punishing 165 minutes (that’s two hours and 45 minutes, folks!), with at least four major scenes seeming to be 10 or 15 minutes long when they should have been three to five minutes, tops.

Yet, in considering the film overnight before writing this review, I wound up with a greater appreciation for its unique vibe and strange sense of optimism. There is an incredible amount of attention to detail throughout, with Tarantino’s most enjoyable soundtrack since “Pulp Fiction,” a terrific soundscape utilizing classic radio ads from the period and amazing set design that truly transforms Hollywood back to 1969.

It’s also a kinder, gentler film than one would expect from this master of fast-bursting graphic violence (well, until the finale, which is gruesomely funny nonetheless) and one that those seeking fun characters, an unpredictable plot and the ability to sit for nearly three hours in a theatre should enjoy. n

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
