In response to Andre Coleman’s opinion “Everywhere You Look” (Aug. 8), he correctly identified the El Paso shooter’s right-wing political convictions but failed to mention that the Dayton shooter selfidentified as extremely left wing and anti-police. In his “manifesto” he declared his support for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The mentally deranged come in all stripes. As far as more gun control laws, let’s look at a city with the toughest gun control laws in the nation. In that city, there have been over 1,712 shootings to date, of which 312 people died from the shootings. Yes, it is the city we don’t talk about, Chicago.

Rifles kill. How about knives?

According to data from the FBI crime report, 4.3 times as many people were killed by knives or other cutting instruments as were killed by rifles.

NOW IS THE TIME It’s time for Congress to begin a formal impeachment inquiry. I can arrive at no other conclusion after Mueller’s testimony to Congress. Mueller did his job; now it’s on Congress to do theirs.

Trump may lie, but the evidence does not, and Mueller found plenty of it. His report clearly outlined at least 10 occasions in which Trump obstructed justice. Obstruction of justice is a serious crime. If you or I did what Trump did, we’d be in jail. But Trump remains free only because he’s president. As Mueller said in his testimony, a longstanding Department of Justice policy prevented him from indicting a sitting president. There is no

law regarding this issue and it is not in the Constitution.

Mueller also found over 100 secret communications between Trump’s team and Russia or individuals tied to Russia. His campaign chairman even gave polling data to a former Russian intelligence officer on a regular basis. Trump can yell “no collusion” all he wants, but these actions are unacceptable from any American, much less from the Commander in Chief who is tasked with protecting our national security.

It’s time for our representative Adam Schiff and the rest of Congress to finally open a formal impeachment inquiry to hold Trump accountable and send a message to Trump and future presidents that welcoming the help of a foreign government — and obstructing justice to cover it up — will not be tolerated. ~ DEBRA A. COHN, PH.D LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE

WIRELESS WORRIES Regarding wireless technology, there is more than meets the eye that’s been reported in the media.

The problem is the absence of commentary on adverse health risks.

There are thousands of peer-

reviewed studies with established science of the health hazards caused by non-ionizing EMF (electro-magnetic field) exposures.

Radiation is the single-most important health issue of our time.

During a Feb.7 US Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing on the future of 5G and its impact, US Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, raised the fact that there has been no scientific research and data on 5G’s potential health risks.

In April, Sprint was forced to shut down the cell phone tower at Ripon California elementary school after some parents said it may be linked to several recent cases of childhood cancer from harmful radiation. Sprint said that their towers are safe because they meet the FCC standards. The problem is that these supposedly safe levels of exposure are based on decades old studies (1996) and are applied to advanced technology. Plus, the exposure time is only six to 30 minutes versus the equivalent of living next to a tower.

In addition, their studies are based on thermal heat only and disregard the biological DNA damage caused by non-ionizing microwave radiation. Because of these two factors their “safe guidelines” are scientifically unsound and meaningless.

The hardest part of the stop the 5G campaign is convincing people something can be done, or they acquiescence to the rollout whether they like it or not. The more information people have, the public’s opinion will shift dramatically overnight. It will be the bane of the mainstream media to hold them accountable for not reporting.

We need to put ample pressure on corporations of government about what is the real risk regarding health. This conversation should have been held years ago and needs to happen. ~ JULIE MORA VIA EMAIL

•HUTCH REPORT•

BY EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON

A NEW NORMAL WHY BLACK LIVES STILL DON’T MATTER

Two things recently happened within days of each other that again tossed a hideous glare on the cheapness of black lives.

First was a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), which found that young black males are still at mortal risk of being gunned down by police. It’s as if the mass protests over the slayings of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Ezell Ford and Eric Garner never happened. Or that Black Lives Matter never existed. The peril posed to young black males of being shot to death by police has gone unabated.

The other thing that happened was the trial of a grocery store clerk in Memphis who was tried and convicted on Aug. 16 of second-degree murder in the death of Dorian Harris, an alleged shoplifter. The killing of this unarmed teenager was horrific enough. But what was even more eye-catching was that Harris need not have died after being shot. Receiving no medical attention, he bled to death. His body was found two days later in the backyard of a home in the same block as the store.

But there’s more. The study published by the prestigious academy garnered almost no media attention. The trial and conviction of the store clerk came more than a year after the Harris killing, and there was little public attention paid to the case.

There are two reasons for this. As painful as it is to say it, one is police slayings of young blacks has become something of a new norm. It happens so often that it no longer evokes any sustained outcries. The killings appear to have had a numbing effect on many blacks, much of the media and the public in general. There seems to be no end to them and there’s frustration that nothing can be done about them. In the rare cases in which cops are tried for the slaying of an unarmed black they are routinely acquitted. It almost seems like a pointless exercise, worse, a charade. This further deepens cynicism and deadens hope that justice will ever be served when blacks are slain with only the fl imsiest justification.

The Memphis clerk was not a cop. He was arrested and convicted. But even here there was a special leniency since jurors rejected the prosecution contention that the murder was premediated. This would have drawn a much stiffer sentence.

The legal and social footprint on these slayings has by now been wellestablished. It goes like this: First comes the shooting. Then there is the character assassination of the victim. Police officials hold press conferences, leak documents and orchestrate a media campaign to depict the victims as criminals, or deadbeat dads, or deviants. Then it’s an acquittal or a light sentence for the shooter. The inference is that this was a bad guy who got what he deserved. Harris was depicted as a thief who stole, of all things, a $2 can of beer.

They get away with this by anchoring their depictions on the ancient but serviceable litany of stereotypes and negative images of young black males — terrifying caricatures that people still harbor.

There have been countless studies, surveys and candid admissions from many that people still cringe with terror in the presence of black males. In fact, many of the old stereotypes about poverty, crime and blacks remain just as frozen in time. Much of the public still perceives those most likely to commit crimes as poor, jobless and black. Race and poverty and crime are fi rmly stitched together in the public’s mind. Once the stereotype is planted, it’s virtually impossible to root out.

In 2003 and 2008, Penn State University researchers found that many whites are likely to associate pictures of blacks with violent crime. This was no surprise given the relentless media depictions of young blacks as dysfunctional, dopepeddling gang bangers and drive-by shooters. The Penn State study found that even when blacks didn’t commit a specific crime whites still misidentified the perpetrator as an African American. Immediately after the election of former President Obama in 2008, researchers still found public attitudes on crime and race unchanged. Many whites still overwhelmingly fi ngered blacks as the most likely to commit crimes, even when they didn’t commit them.

The “normalizing” of this violence against blacks means a slaying is one day in and one day out in the news. Then it’s back to business as usual. That was the case with the academic study and the Harris killing. It seems the short-lived Black Lives Matter movement did little to make black lives matter, or change the indifference toward those lives.■ Earl Ofari Hutchinson, an author and political analyst, is the author of “Why Black Lives Do Matter” (Middle Passage Press).

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW? LAEMMLE THEATER CHAIN COULD BE UP FOR SALE

The historic Laemmle theater chain could be placed on the market, according to several reports.

The venerable chain started in 1938 and currently operates 43 screens at nine movie houses in Pasadena, Glendale, North Hollywood, Encino, Santa Monica, Claremont, West LA and Beverly Hills, which has two.

“We are considering our options, but that’s all I can comment on at this time,” said owner Greg Laemmle, grandson of founder Max Laemmle.

Last year, independent films like those screening at Laemmle theaters grossed about $120 million, This year, they are far behind, grossing just $45 million with just four months left the in the year.

“We are looking to finish work on our Newhall location as soon as possible, and are in discussions about Reseda, but that’s all I can say,” Laemmle said. “We are status quo through all of this.”

Laemmle would not comment on potential buyers or the ongoing negotiations.

Last week, the swanky iPic movie chain, which also has a theater in Pasadena’s One Colorado entertainment center, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Officials with that company said they planned to keep the theaters open while they try and sell their theaters in nine states.

The Laemmle chain was started by brothers Max and Kurt Laemmle, who were among the many relatives whom Universal Studios founder Carl Laemmle helped emigrate from Germany to the US during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Carl Laemmle, regarded as a pioneer in the film industry, immigrated to the US in 1884 and worked in Chicago for 20 years before buying nickelodeons, eventually expanding into a film distribution service, the Laemmle Film Service.

He founded Universal Studios in 1912. Nearly 20 years later, his son, Carl Laemmle Jr., produced such classic horror films as Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931). Both men were forced out of the company in 1936 during the Great Depression.

Laemmle theaters have been in Pasadena for nearly seven decades. In 1964, the Laemmle chain opened the Esquire Theater on Colorado Boulevard near San Gabriel Boulevard. They also owned another single-screen theater just west of there, The Colorado, near the corner of Colorado and Vinedo Avenue.

The two theaters closed in 2000, but before that, in February 1999, Laemmle Playhouse 7 opened on Colorado Boulevard, right next to Vroman’s Bookstore.

POLICE EXPERT SAYS PASADENA OFFICERS VIOLATED POLICY AND PROCEDURE IN THE BLOODY ARREST OF ALTADENA’S CHRISTOPHER BALLEW

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN, REMALI DE SILVA AND KEVIN UHRICH

A

former Irvine deputy police chief said he believes one of two Pasadena police officers involved in a local traffic stop that led to the violent arrest of an Altadena motorist was lying when he said he did not know why his partner decided to pursue an African-American driver who later suffered a broken leg and head and other injuries in the incident.

That was but one of numerous violations of police policies and procedures in the bloody takedown and arrest of then-21-year-old Christopher Ballew of Altadena by Pasadena police Officers Zachary Lujan and Lerry Esparza. The incident occurred in the parking lot of a gas station on the corner of Woodbury Road and Fair Oaks Avenue just before 8 p.m. on Nov. 9, 2017.

The encounter turned violent after Ballew refused to let the officers handcuff him. Video footage of the incident recorded by a passerby standing at a bus stop on Fair Oaks showed Ballew being hit in the head with fists and across his legs and ankles with an extended metal police baton. The footage was posted weeks later on Facebook, prompting outraged residents to demand the firing of the two officers involved.

Instead, then-Police Chief Phillip Sanchez assigned them to desk duty, where they remain today.

Neither officer returned calls for comment on this story.

Pasadena officials were set to discuss a report prepared on the incident Wednesday during a meeting of the City Council’s Public Safety Committee.

As part of a civil rights lawsuit filed against the city, the department and the two officers involved, Jeffrey Noble, a retired 28-year veteran of the Irvine Police Department who currently works as a consultant and expert witness on issues related to police policies, procedures and use of force, was retained by Ballew’s attorney, John Burton of Pasadena.

Ballew is suing for excessive force, false arrest, falsification of reports, delay or denial of medical care, and excessive bail in relation to the incident.

Although he was not available to be interviewed, Noble said in a declaration that the traffic stop was made on “a racially motivated pretext that went sideways.”

Not Everyone is a Gangster According to court papers, Esparza said he claimed that he believed

Ballew was a gang member because he was driving in a known gang area where there had recently been a shooting, and Ballew was wearing a blue sweater. Esparza claims the Altadena Bloc Crips gang wears blue.

The claim about the Altadena Bloc Crips disputes Esparza’s claim that he did not know he had traveled outside of his Pasadena jurisdiction.

Unincorporated Altadena is patrolled by LA County sheriff’s deputies.

The two Pasadena officers, both recent lateral hires from other police agencies, were several blocks north of Woodbury Road — the dividing line between Altadena and Pasadena — when they saw Ballew’s vehicle, a late-model Mercedes Benz with tinted windows and missing a front license plate. Many of Noble’s opinions were based upon the officers’ body worn camera video, which was released by City Manager Steve Mermell — a defendant in the lawsuit — after the incident drew national attention.

Noble also reviewed the video recorded by the bystander, who has never been identified, and the depositions of Esparza and Lujan.

According to data compiled by Burton, 43 Hispanic and 31 AfricanAmerican motorists were told to get out of their cars during traffic stops in 2016, 2017 and the first half of 2018, while information about them was recorded by officers on field interview cards. Two white motorists were removed from their vehicles and subjected to field interviews during that time period. Fifteen of the people told to get out of their cars and sit on a curb while their vehicles were searched were arrested.

Esparza claimed in court documents that he has never contacted a white Altadena Crip and that white gang members are rare in Pasadena.

According to city officials, the discrepancy in numbers does not confirm racial profiling but instead reflects the demographics of local gangs which they say are primarily Latino and African American.

Failure to Communicate According to a court declaration, Noble said the two officers never discussed why they were pulling Ballew over.

“Even though [Officer Lerry Esparza] saw Mr. Ballew’s vehicle did not have a front [license] plate and had its windows tinted in violation of the Vehicle Code, Officer Esparza claimed he did not know why Officer [Zachary] Lujan made a U-turn and began to follow Mr. Ballew,” Noble wrote.

The officers were part of the department’s Special Enforcement Unit

SUPERVISOR ORDERS TESTING OF EXHAUST FROM TRUCKS USED TO HAUL SEDIMENT IN DEVIL’S GATE ‘BIG DIG’ PROJECT

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Kathryn Barger

In an effort to ensure air quality during work on the Devil’s Gate Dam Reservoir Restoration Project, LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger directed the Department of Public Works to test tailpipe emissions from the dozens of trucks hauling sediment out of the Hahamongna Watershed Park, where the dam is located.

“In launching Phase II of our air quality strategy, I ordered this additional high level of truck emissions monitoring as an extra level of prevention to ensure trucks hauling sediment from the construction site are in full compliance with the project’s stringent standards,” Barger said in a statement issued Aug. 16. “Vital emissions data will be collected and necessary corrective actions will be taken. I want to ensure that community concerns are fully addressed and that every possible safeguard is in place to protect public safety and the environment.”

Currently, the county Flood Control District is using hundreds of truck trips a day to excavate more than 1.7 million cubic yards of sediment from the Devil’s Gate Dam reservoir, a job that is expected to take four years to complete.

Known as the Big Dig, the project has come under fire by residents of Pasadena and nearby La Cañada Flintridge. It has also been assailed by the Arroyo Seco Foundation (ASF) and the Pasadena Audubon Society (PAS), both of which filed a lawsuit to stop it.

A large amount of sediment has not been removed from Devil’s Gate since 1994, when workers hauled out 160,000 cubic yards of soil and debris. An additional 1 million cubic yards of soil and debris were dumped into the basin by the Station fire in 2009, which burned more than 160,000 acres in Altadena, Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge and Acton.

Devil’s Gate is the oldest dam constructed by the LA County Flood Control District, providing flood protection for the cities of Pasadena, South Pasadena and Los Angeles.

In June, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant postponed a trial over a lawsuit filed by the Arroyo Seco Foundation and the Pasadena Audubon Society.

Chalfant ruled the county did not provide enough time for people to comment on the project’s environmental impact report. Oct. 15 has been set for a settlement hearing. n

INCLUSIONARY INCREASES DEVELOPERS WILL HAVE TO SET ASIDE 20 PERCENT OF UNITS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

The Pasadena City Council on Monday unanimously voted to raise the inclusionary housing requirement for developers to set aside affordable units on all new projects.

The old requirement was a 15 percent set aside. The new Bill Huang requirement is to allocate 20 percent of the total number of proposed housing units for moderate- to low-income residents.

The amendments are the first changes to the city’s inclusionary housing ordinance since it was adopted in 2001.

The original ordinance applied to developments of 10 units or more and called for developers to set aside 15 percent of the proposed units as affordable for very low- and moderate-income people. Developers not wanting to set aside units can still pay an in-lieu fee which goes into the city’s own housing fund. Builders can also donate land worth the value of the fee.

In 2017, Housing Director Bill Huang told the Pasadena Weekly that the city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance has led to the construction of about 500 housing units for low- and moderate-income renters since 2001.

The changes are designed to increase the number of affordable units in the city.

The new changes recommended by the Planning Department would eliminate trade-downs that allow developers to build fewer affordable units by equating one very low-income unit to 1.5 low-income units, or two moderate-income units.

In-lieu fees that allow developers to avoid meeting the minimums on low-income and moderate-housing will also be raised. The new fees will be established at a later date. Currently it cost developers $50,000 to opt out of building low-income units.

Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP!) called for the fee to be raised to 25 percent. On Tuesday, Ed Washatka said that although the council did not go that high, he is happy with the vote.

“I applaud the council for what they did,” Washatka said. “This is a huge win for the city and people who want affordable housing. Even though the ordinance was 15 percent, most of the time developers were giving us 10 or 11 percent and we weren’t getting the full 15 percent.”

Rents in Pasadena are among the highest in the state with many two-bedroom apartments renting above $3,000 making it almost impossible for minimum-wage workers and middle class residents to live in Pasadena, even as wages increase.

“We are in a housing crisis, this is real,” Director of Planning and Community Development David Reyes said. “We are deficient in building low-income apartments.” n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.22.19

— which works to suppress gang activity — on the night of the incident. Ballew has no gang affiliation and was not charged with a crime.

Noble wrote the officers’ claims that they did not discuss the decision to turn around and follow Ballew could mean they are trying to hide facts from investigators.

“The supposed failure to communicate between officers is inconsistent with generally accepted police practices, and is suggestive of officers who are concealing information from their questioner,” Noble wrote.

Last week, city spokeswoman Lisa Derderian told the Pasadena Weekly that Noble’s conclusions are designed to favor the plaintiff’s litigation, not to objectively review the overall work of the department.

The city has hired its own police expert, Robert Fonzi, who claims the force used that night was justified. The former San Bernardino undersheriff concluded that the two officers acted in self-defense during the incident. Punches and baton strikes, Fonzi wrote, were consistent with standard police practices and were reasonable, given “the totality of the circumstances.”

Noble, according to his resume, has been retained as both a defense and a plaintiff’s expert in over 150 cases in the states of Washington, Missouri, California, Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, New York, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Georgia, Arkansas, Minnesota, Virginia, Florida, New Mexico, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Idaho, Connecticut, Colorado, Arizona and New Jersey. He’s also testified as an expert in the states of California, Washington, Tennessee, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Ohio.

In the course of his evaluation in Pasadena, Noble reviewed police reports; complaint documents; body camera documents; a use of force report; depositions by police Cmdr. Cheryl Moody, City Manager Mermell, police Sgt. Det. Tim Bundy, Officers Esparza and Lujan; civilian video; body cam video from Esparza and Lujan; body cam footage of Bundy interviewing Ballew; the Pasadena Police Department Policy Manual; and declarations from Bundy, Lujan, Sgt. Roger Roldan, and former Chief Sanchez.

In the final analysis, he found that: * The detention of Mr. Ballew was contrary to generally accepted police practices. * A reasonable police officer would not have believed that Mr. Ballew was a gang member or that he was associated with any criminal gang. * Police officers are trained that uses of force must be objectively reasonable and must be proportional. * The use of force by Officer Esparza by grabbing Mr. Ballew’s arm was excessive, objectively unreasonable and inconsistent with generally accepted police practices. * Officer Esparza’s and Officer Lujan’s use of force

after Mr. Ballew’s initial detention was excessive, objectively unreasonable and inconsistent with generally accepted police practices. * The arrest of Mr. Ballew for assault with a deadly weapon upon a peace officer was inconsistent with generally accepted police practices. * Any reasonable neutral supervisor would have seen the same issues that I have discussed throughout this report and would have never approved the arrest of Mr. Ballew. * The Pasadena Police Department failed to investigate serious allegations of misconduct.

In the summary of his opinions on the incident, Noble also found: * The officers were working “gang enforcement” outside their assigned jurisdiction, not traffic enforcement. The detention of Mr. Ballew appears to have been improperly motivated based on race rather than minor Vehicle Code infractions, and the measures taken exceeded the scope of any detention required for such a stop, and thus were contrary to generally accepted police practices. * A reasonable police officer would not have believed that Mr. Ballew was a gang member before he parked his vehicle, after he parked his vehicle, or after his arrest. * Officer Esparza’s decision to physically control Mr. Ballew for the purpose of a pat down search was inconsistent with generally accepted police practices. There were no articulable facts suggesting that Mr. Ballew was armed and dangerous. * The Pasadena Police Department’s ongoing refusal to investigate, and therefore to discipline, Officers Lujan and Esparza is inconsistent with generally accepted police practices.

On the Border During the brutal confrontation, the former John Muir basketball standout grabbed the police baton as Esparza was striking him, but he never gained control of the weapon. Lujan drew his handgun but holstered it. The baton fell to the ground after Esparza struck Ballew.

“Officer Esparza acknowledges that Mr. Ballew made no attempt to strike him or Officer Lujan with the baton, and officer Lujan also testified that he never saw Mr. Ballew attempt to strike anyone with the baton,” Noble wrote.

But even after the baton was on the ground, the officers continued to strike Ballew with punches to the head and strikes to legs with the baton, which Esparza immediately picked up before trying to arrest him.

Ballew suffered a broken leg and multiple cranial contusions after the officers slammed his head into the pavement.

“All force used in this incident was excessive, objectively unreasonable and inconsistent with generally police practices,” Noble wrote. n

AS PASADENA CELEBRATES THE CENTENNIAL OF THE 19TH AMENDMENT, ACTIVISTS SAY THE RIGHT TO VOTE WAS BUT ONE OF MANY BIG VICTORIES NEEDED FOR FULL GENDER EQUALITY STORY AND PHOTOS BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN

T

uesday, Aug. 26, Women’s Equality Day, marks the 99th anniversary of ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote.

In commemoration, two floats in the 2020 Rose Parade will celebrate the 100th anniversary and the history of the women’s suffrage movement: one produced by the city of South Pasadena, the other by a diverse group of Pasadena women and the National Women’s History Alliance, under the auspices of a nonprofit called Pasadena Celebrates 2020.

The theme of Pasadena Celebrates 2020’s float is “Years of Hope, Years of Courage,” with the tagline, “Upon Their Shoulders, We Won the Vote. Upon Our Shoulders, We Protect the Vote. We Celebrate and Build for the Future.” The theme of South Pasadena’s float is “Victory at Last.”

The theme of the 2020 Rose Parade is “The Power of Hope.” This year’s Tournament of Roses president, Laura Farber, is the third woman — and first Latina — to preside over the parade in its 131-year history.

Between 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, California Pizza Kitchen restaurants in Pasadena, Santa Anita, Glendale, Burbank and Studio City will donate 20 percent of their proceeds toward building the Pasadena Celebrates 2020 float.

“There are still people who have trouble with the vote,” observed Martha Wheelock, who serves on Pasadena Celebrates 2020’s executive committee. “It’s keeping it both historical and how we feel we’re guardians of it. It’s not history; it’s still going on.”

‘UNBOSSED AND UNBOUGHT’ The 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment will be August 2020, but Ellen Snortland — long-time Pasadena Weekly columnist, self-defense advocate, sexual assault survivor, author, playwright and filmmaker — wants to educate people ahead of time. That’s why, in addition to helping the Pasadena Celebrates 2020 float committee, she has curated an exhibit on the women’s suffrage movement in the north lobby of the Pasadena Central Library.

“1920 is the year we actually won the vote,” said Snortland. “People say, ‘Oh, they were given the vote.’ No, we weren’t given shit — yeah, we were given a lot of shit. It’s a big deal that women won the vote without having to kill anybody. Gandhi got his ideas of nonviolent social change from watching the women in the UK and the United States, and hardly anybody knows that. He saw them picketing and chaining themselves to the White House fence.

They were just not putting up with the hypocrisy. President [Woodrow] Wilson was fighting a war to promote democracy in Europe and half of his population couldn’t vote.”

Her exhibit runs through Aug. 31 and features her personal collection, decades in the making, of dresses, books, photos, pamphlets, political cartoons, campaign buttons and other artifacts highlighting the major players and moments of the movement in the United States, as well as the UK suffragettes. Wheelock also donated some of her memorabilia with a focus on California. The exhibit will return to the library in December and March.

The exhibit pays tribute to several women and men who played key roles in the fight for women’s suffrage. For instance, one shelf displays a pair of ruby slippers, a nod to L. Frank Baum, who wrote the original “Wizard of Oz” series.

“I have been studying this long enough that I get connections that a lot of people aren’t aware of,” said Snortland. “For instance, this woman, Matilda Joslyn Gage, was one of

the most radical of the radicals, and that’s why you’ve never heard of her. She said it’s the patriarchal religions that have the feet on our necks, and that was just not going to fly in her time. However, she influenced her son-in-law, L. Frank Baum, to be not only someone who was interested in having a female protagonist, Dorothy, but to be a suffragist himself who promoted women’s rights and equal rights big time. Perhaps, if it hadn’t been for Matilda Joslyn Gage, we would not have had Dorothy.”

The exhibit also pays homage to famous first political campaigns, including Victoria Woodhull, Shirley Chisholm and Hillary Clinton.

“Woodhull was completely notorious and a brilliant woman,” said Snortland. “She ran on a ticket with Frederick Douglass,” an escaped slave who became a social reformer, abolitionist, orator, statesman and writer who penned numerous autobiographies. “Of course, they didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning that, but she ran and she was important. And we have Shirley Chisholm, who was a serious contender,” Snortland said of Chisolm, the first black woman elected to Congress, who served New York from 1969 to 1983. Her signature campaign slogan was “Unbossed and unbought.” Last year, the Washington Post wrote that her “feminist mantra is still relevant 50 years later.”

ABSENCE OF WOMEN Snortland’s exhibit features the women who are considered the mothers of the US suffrage movement, such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, as well as lesser known but equally important figures, including women of color such as Sojourner Truth.

“The African-American women were thrown under the bus by not only white women but

by Frederick Douglass, who was caught between a rock and a hard place,” said Snortland.

“He had to make a devil’s decision, which was, ‘Do I get behind the vote for black men, or do I wait for universal suffrage?’ And he decided he needed to get behind black men, but that threw all these African-American women under the wagon, so to speak. And the white women did that, too, because the best way to control people is to have them fight each other and then the dominant class doesn’t have to deal with it.”

An important part of the exhibit features Native American women, who promulgated and practiced democracy and provided early lessons in gender equality.

“Ben Franklin and the early suffragists got their ideas about gender equality from the Haudenosaunee, commonly known as the Iroquois Confederation,” said Snortland. “They are the longest standing practicing democracy on the planet. Ben Franklin invited two leaders from the Haudenosaunee to visit Philadelphia during the Constitutional Convention.

They walked in and said, ‘Where are the women? You can’t create a society without women.’

They thought they were nuts.”

The exhibit also features Pasadena resident, suffragist and author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. She wrote the semi-autobiographical short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis, as well as the novel “Herland,” considered to be the first CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

science fiction book, about a society composed entirely of women who reproduce through parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). She also wrote a book way ahead of its time called “Women and Economics: A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution,” which inspired women to start their own businesses.

The exhibit also focuses on the substantial anti-suffrage movement, which Snortland categorized as the foremothers of the ultraconservative Eagle Forum, which was founded by anti-feminist firebrand Phyllis Schlafly in 1972.

“They were determined to keep traditional womanhood and rigid gender roles in place,” said Snortland. “They basically believed the extent of a woman’s life should be to get married and have kids. They were promulgating the idea that if women voted, their ovaries would dry up, and a lot of the women who already had eight children said, ‘Great idea! Sounds good to me.’

PIECEMEAL STRUGGLES Snortland’s exhibit is one of many exhibits, conferences, parades and other events across the country telling different aspects of the movement’s story, including three major exhibits at the Library of Congress, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Archive Museum in the

nation’s capital, all curated by women.

The exhibits, including Snortland’s, bring forward lesser known elements of the story, such as the fact that the 1913 Women’s Suffrage Parade was the first peaceful march on Washington. And that the temperance movement was led by women such as Carrie Nation who went into saloons and used a hatchet to break bottles and chop up bars in acts she called her “hatchetations.”

It also shows how ratification of the 19th Amendment came down to one vote in the Tennessee Legislature, the last state to seal the deal. Assembly member Harry T. Burn, who wore a red rose to represent his opposition to women’s suffrage, cast the deciding vote in favor of the 19th Amendment when, at the last minute of roll call, someone brought him an envelope.

He opened it, read it, put it in his pocket and changed to a yellow rose, signifying his newfound support of women’s suffrage.

“It was a letter from his mother saying, ‘Please, let your mother vote,’” said Snortland. “By one vote, we were ratified. Unbelievable. But that’s the existential question, isn’t it: how do you win the vote if you can’t vote for yourself?”

Snortland is quick to add that the ratification of the 19th Amendment was not the final “triumphant culmination” of the movement, “but one landmark in a struggle for equal rights for all citizens that isn’t over yet,” as Dr. Robyn Muncy, a historian at the University of Maryland and one of the curators of the National Archives exhibit, told The New York Times.

“It’s important to remember how piecemeal a struggle it was,” Muncy said. “Seeing change as coming in one fell swoop undermines us as citizens and gives us a false idea about the way change happens.”■

hile I don’t frequent Eagle Rock enough, any time I’ve dined there for Pasadena Weekly, or just for my own enjoyment, I’ve discovered hidden gems that thrive because of the eclectic and charming presence of the community they inhabit.

Around 3 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon, a friend and I decided on a late lunch and made our way to the little LA neighborhood tucked into the sprawling city’s scenic northeast corner. It isn’t difficult to narrow down a place to visit since many are unique to the community or boast great reviews online. This week, Taco Spot caught our attention.

Located on Colorado Boulevard, the little Mexican restaurant is located in a prime area with plenty of visitors (at least on the day that we were there), and it’s in good company; two of my previous reviews are located in the same block.

Near the cash register, where customers order, the restaurant itself appears to be small, but it opens up with much more room

EL PORTAL 695 E. Green St., Pasadena (626)795-8553 Elportalrestaurant.com $$ Pasadena Weekly readers have been rewarding El Portal with the title of Best Mexican Food in the city for years. This charming little hacienda with brick walls, festive colors, fine art and a California elegant courtyard brings the authentic cuisine of Mexico and the Yucatan region to your table.

in the main dining area. The interior is painted bright orange and the walls are lined with portraits of Mexican families or paintings exhibiting Mexican culture. I loved that the table numbers are loteria cards, a traditional game of chance from my childhood that uses images on a deck of cards and is a staple as big as Monopoly in Hispanic culture. Taco Spot is modern and nostalgic all at once.

We grabbed a couple of menus and pondered what to order while the helpful and pleasant cashier answered our questions. What’s great about Taco Spot is that while it has a large variety on the menu and caters to diets of all kinds, it’s not overwhelmingly frilly with way too extreme dishes, which often occurs in Americanized Mexican cuisine.

We decided to order the shrimp burrito ($8.95) which turned out to be slightly different than what we were expecting. My dining companion and I failed to look at what was inside the burrito.

There was rice, cheese, and fresh guacamole, while we had expected a lighter combination to compliment the seafood. Still, it was pretty good. I ordered a potato taco ($2.95) which is listed with a heart next to it to signify that it is vegetarian friendly. It’s served with tomatoes, lettuce, cream, guacamole and cheese. Other vegetarian friendly and intriguing tacos to try are the veggie (sautéed spinach, kale, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, corn, bell peppers, cheese and guacamole), as well as the tofu taco, which I’d never seen at a Mexican restaurant. The tofu taco can only be ordered as a plate ($7.95) and comes with marinated tofu topped with cheese, cilantro, onion and guacamole.

For my entree I tried the chicken torta ($8.25),

labeled a “favorite” on the menu, it comes with lettuce, tomato, guacamole, cheese on a toasted roll and is served with a side of chips. Although I wish the bread was just slightly thicker to withstand all of the components of the sandwich, I loved it. Oddly enough, the chips and pico de gallo were probably my favorite part of my meal.

Their salsa bar is a match made in heaven for those who are indecisive or love layering sauce on their meals, and the chips are fried to a perfect golden color and crunchy crispiness.

To share in addition to our entrees, we ordered the mole fries ($6.25), which are also vegetarian friendly. This was another item on their menu I had never seen before, yet not too over the top. I don’t like mole in general, but it’s a classic Mexican dish that many people enjoy.

Taco Spot also serves traditional Mexican staple dishes such as enchiladas ($10.25) and fajitas ($10.25), as well as breakfast favorites, like chilaquiles ($8.75) smothered in red sauce and served with scrambled eggs and beans.

They also feature huevos rancheros ($8.95), served with beans and a side of potatoes. In addition, they also have all around favorites, like a breakfast burrito ($8.25), made of scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon and beans, and served with guacamole, sour cream, and breakfast potatoes.

Of course, they have a kids menu, and best of all, every single one of their plates are under $12, which sounds unbelievable given the portion sizes.

While many Mexican restaurants don’t cater specifically to vegans or vegetarians, or even to families of all ages, this one does, and in the most humble way possible.

Perhaps that’s why Taco Spot really is the spot for casual Mexican dining in Eagle Rock.

NEVER TOO LATE EVEN COUPLES USUALLY AT ODDS CAN FIND HAPPINESS WITH A LITTLE HELP

By Carl Kozlowski

Dear Patti, It’s a tradition in our family for all of us to go away together on Labor Day weekend, including our children and grandchildren. Five years ago we stayed at a beach hotel that was so relaxing that I wanted to go there again this year. For weeks I’ve been talking to my husband, Mike, about how excited I am to return there.

I thought it was all settled, but I just found out that Mike changed the plans. Now we’re all going to the mountains because Mike wants to take our twin grandsons off road motorcycle riding. Without talking to me, he has already arranged everything, including putting a deposit on a cabin and renting the bikes. It’s too late to change the plans even if I insisted, which I wouldn’t do because now our grandsons are all excited about riding dirt bikes with their grandpa.

I’m really disappointed and furious because this kind of behavior is so typical of my husband. He’s controlling and selfish and makes sure he always gets his way. I wish he thought more about my happiness, but he rarely does. Mike would probably tell you that he was doing me a favor by making all the plans. He believes that he compromises with me all the time and that I’m impossible to please no matter how hard he tries. We’ve been married for 17 years, and although we’ll never divorce, we fight and bicker all the time.

My daughter says she doesn’t understand why we’ve stayed together so long.

She loves both of us but doesn’t believe we’re a good match. I love my children and grandchildren, but I often wonder what my life would have been like if I had never married Mike. My son thinks we should seek counseling, but I’m worried it’s too late for that. I’m not trying to be negative, but I’m at my wits’ end. I can’t help but feel that we are way beyond the help of a therapist.

— Adrienne Dear Adrienne, A lot of couples will admit that they sometimes have relationship problems. It’s beneficial to reach out for help in the early stage of any marital issues. However, there are many distressed couples who only seek out therapy as a last resort, after the relationship has become a series of constant battles against each other. While it is more difficult and complicated, therapy can still be effective at this stage and with hard emotional work it can transform the relationship.

The quality of our intimate relationships has a significant impact on our well-being.

Good relationships confer important mental and physical benefits, while bad relationships have harmful effects on health. I strongly recommend that you and Mike attend professional therapy with a trained couples counselor. Therapy should provide a safe space to begin to recognize the fear, hurt and pain that underlies your defensive emotional reactions so you can begin to shift your ways of being with one another.

It is typical for highly distressed couples to have a pervasive sense of hopelessness, despair or resignation, emotional and sexual intimacy problems, and mistrust of each other.

Partners may not take responsibility for their role in the marital distress, and there may be habitual efforts by each partner to prove that the other is impossible to contend with.

Other common destructive behaviors include criticism (e.g., attacking, blaming); contempt (e.g., name calling, sneering); defensiveness; (e.g.,denying responsibility; “yes-butting;”) stonewalling (e.g., ignoring and withdrawal); and ruminating about negative aspects of the relationship. All of these areas should be addressed in therapy as they come up.

A couple should expect the therapist to encourage a positive therapeutic alliance, in which you both feel that he or she has understood your most important issues, can tolerate your most disturbing feelings, accepts you in the distressed condition in which you arrive, and can instill the hope that change is possible.

Your therapist will also educate you on both negative and positive communication styles. Examples of negative or “dirty fighting” include over-generalizing, cross-complaining, blaming, not listening, pulling rank, labeling, giving advice, getting even, leaving, or rejecting compromise. Your counselor should point out these behaviors as they come up and help direct you to more positive ways to communicate. Examples of positive communication include sticking to one issue, giving specific examples, thoughtful responding, showing a good faith effort to carry out compromise, and non-defensive listening, which is the ability to listen your partner in a positive or neutral way instead of responding with reactivity or defensiveness. 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.

GOOD COMPANY Tournament of Roses honors first Latina president

The Tournament of Roses honored its first Latina president with a community open house and reception Saturday at Tournament House.

Laura Farber is the not only the first Latina; she’s also the third woman to don the red jacket and lead the tournament.

Libby Evans Wright broke the gender barrier when she led the organization in 2005-06. In 2011-12, Sally Bixby held the honor.

Farber will hold the honor as the nation celebrates the centennial anniversary of women gaining the right to vote.

Born in Buenos Aires, Farber’s native tongue is Spanish. In 1987, she graduated from UCLA where earned her bachelor’s degree political science, cum laude. In 1990 she earned her juris doctorate, also cum laude, from Georgetown University In January, Farber announced the theme for 2020 is “The Power of Hope.”

“Hope is more than simply the possibility of fulfillment. Hope is dignity and respect, joy and happiness, aspiration and achievement. Hope never, ever quits,” Farber said in a prepared statement.

“Through hope, we can aspire to be our best and in turn inspire those around us to reach higher,” she said.

Farber has been a volunteer member of the Tournament of Roses Association since 1993. In 2012 she was elected to the executive committee. Since then, Farber has served on and chaired various committees including decorating places, formation area, judging and membership development.

Farber is a partner at the Pasadena based law firm Hahn & Hahn. She will be the fifth employee of the firm to lead the Tournament of Roses.

Louis Vincenti (1948), Stanley Hahn (1963), William Johnstone (1997) and R. Scott Jenkins (2014) also led the tournament, according to the Hahn & Hahn website.

Farber is the third minority to hold the honor. Gerald Freeny became the first African American to lead the tournament when he led the organization in 2018-19. In 2014–15, Richard L. Chinen became the first Asian American to lead the tournament.

WHISTLING WONDERS World-class whistlers blow into Pasadena for the Masters of Musical Whistling Competition Aug. 23 & 24

More than 60 whistlers from 10 countries are set to compete in the Masters of Musical Whistling International Competition and Festival Aug. 23-24 at the Pasadena Convention Center. The biennial competition — the only event of its kind in the United States — attracts accomplished professional whistlers and undiscovered talent from all over the world.

Audiences can get “blown away” by five competitive divisions during the two-day festival. Divisions include Live Band, Pre-Recorded Classical and Popular compositions, Self-Accompaniment, and Allied Arts — whistling combined with another performing art, such as dancing and puppetry.

Festival goers can join in on the fun with a Whistlers Master Class, Whistling Meet & Greet Luncheon, and The International Concert of the Masters — starring mindblowing world champions.

There are more types of whistling than audiences may expect, many of which will be featured: puckering, palatal, throat, hand, and finger whistling. Carole Anne Kaufman, a two-time world champion musical whistler known as the Whistling Diva, founded the festival in 2015 with the purpose of establishing a meeting place for the global whistling community and promoting musical whistling as fine art.

For event tickets and more information, call (626) 509-9091 or visit mastersofwhistling.com or whistlers.eventbrite.com. n

SUMMER VIBE

Michael Cavanaugh

M

ichael Cavanaugh’s earliest memories of growing up in the suburbs of Cleveland are of banging a snare drum so loudly and so often that his parents made it disappear, even though they had given it to him as a gift. But his distrust and frustration with his parents for taking away his greatest joy was abated at the age of 7, when his mom bought a piano and he started hitting the keys on that instead.

A precocious pianist who could pick up the best music of the 1970s easily by ear, Cavanaugh spent years afterwards mastering the songs of the two best piano men in the pop music business: Billy Joel and Elton John. Yet even he didn’t realize as a child that this passion would pay off with a thriving career in which he received both a Grammy nomination and a prestigious Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Musical in the smash Broadway hit “Movin’

Out” (for singing and playing the greatest hits of Billy Joel).

He parlayed that experience into touring the world to perform Joel’s songs with symphonies, and since then has added the best tunes of Elton John to his symphonic repertoire. He’ll be joining the Pasadena POPS this Saturday night at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Arcadia, as they perform “The Music of Elton John Featuring Michael Cavanaugh.”

“I’ve been doing this show for nine years, starting in 2010, after starting the symphony shows of Billy in 2008,” says Cavanaugh.

“I would say each has its own challenges, because Billy and Elton are different types of piano players.

“Elton might have influenced me more as a piano player. I think the difficulty level is about the same. This is music I grew up listening to everyday. It’s in my blood and it comes out flow-

FROM ‘PIANO MAN’ TO ‘ROCKET MAN’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 ing naturally. It’s like I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Years from now, looking back they’re both going to be seen as legends, but honestly they’re apples and oranges.”

The concert will feature numerous hits from the beloved “Rocket Man,” including “Crocodile Rock,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Bennie and the Jets” and “Candle in the Wind,” backed by both the orchestra and Cavanaugh’s own rock band.

The chance to play for thousands at each stop is a long way from when the 47-year-old was pounding out their hits in a dueling-pianos bar in Vegas in the early 2000s.

“I was in a dueling piano bar in Vegas and I got to know Billy’s tour manager,” Cavanaugh recalls. “Billy came to town a couple days before a concert there and with 15 minutes notice I was told he was coming to hear me. I didn’t know there was a Broadway musical going on. All I knew was I was meeting a musical hero.

“By the end of my set, Billy was on the other piano, so we jammed together that first night and hit it off,” Cavanaugh continues. “Later, I heard about the musical and Billy wanted me for it, but I still had to audition for Twyla Tharp.”

Tharp was the legendary choreographer who conceived of telling an epic story of life and love using only the songs of Joel and the dramatic moves she trained highly skilled dancers to perform. Cavanaugh had to fly to New York and meet all the producers as well as Tharp herself to land the job.

“When you come in with the Piano Man’s thumbs up, it’s a really good start,” says Cavanaugh, referring to Joel. “But Billy wasn’t extremely involved at that point in the planning, so if [Tharp] had turned on 16 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.22.19

me he would have probably let it go and moved on to someone else.”

The massive success of the play, in which he performed more than 1,200 shows in three years, enabled Cavanaugh to become friends with Joel, visiting his home and attending one of his weddings.

He only met Elton John once, while he was hanging out backstage at one of Joel’s and John’s many joint concerts, but understands Joel well enough to offer a theory about why Joel has notoriously refused to release new pop albums since “River of Dreams” in 1993.

“I don’t think he’s lazy,” he says, in response to a reporter’s opinion. “I think Billy still writes, he just doesn’t want to put it out there anymore. Maybe he feels he’s said everything he’s had to say. Do I want him to write more music? Of course I do, but he’s not fading out because he’s still selling out stadiums.”

Regardless of which musical master he’s performing the songs of, Cavanaugh is happy to be here in Pasadena. He previously performed with the POPS three years ago with an evening of Joel’s tunes and has fond memories of the Arboretum setting.

“Pasadena is awesome, and I’m looking forward once again to seeing the ‘Fantasy Island’ house at the Arboretum, because it takes me back to my childhood,” says Cavanaugh. “They’re a great group, and in the LA area I can tell the symphony fans get the pop thing, which is great” n Michael Cavanaugh performs with the Pasadena POPS at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the LA County Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, 301 N. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia. Tickets are $10 to $150. Visit pasadenasymphony-pops.org.

JAZZMEIA HORN, Love Liberation (Concord): HHH

Rather than retrace socially conscious themes from her Grammy-nominated 2017 debut, “A Social Call,” the award-winning jazz stylist salutes female empowerment and resilience with playful original compositions like “Still Tryin’,” “Out the Window” and “Searchin’,” the latter two scatted with limber bravura that calls to mind Ella Fitzgerald in her prime. Other highlights: a lush reinvention of fellow Dallas native Erykah Badu’s “Green Eyes”; a lightly swinging “No More” (by Horn’s late mentor Jon Hendricks); and a graceful duet with drummer Jamison Ross on George Duke and Rachelle Farrell’s “Reflections of My Heart” — the album’s most melodically compelling track — that draws out Horn’s more vulnerable, sultry tones. theartistryofjazzhorn.com

HIP-TWITCHING, SPIRIT-LIFTING GLOBAL RHYTHMS FROM ETHIO CALI AT ONE COLORADO SATURDAY

enre-bending ensembles like Ethio Cali are high on the list of elements that make LA’s musical community creatively thrilling. Coming to One Colorado this Saturday, the eclectic nonet stands on Ethiopian jazz father Mulatu Astatke’s soulful platform and weaves in Afrobeat, Latin jazz, Indian raga, funk, soul, African folk and tropical Caribbean rhythms. The music reflects the dream and cultural reality of Los Angeles as much as any global inspirations.

To the extent that any one player fronts Ethio Cali, that would be trumpeter, arranger and composer Todd Simon, a native Angeleno and savvy multitasker who founded the ensemble and often introduces pieces onstage with a brief declaration of their core message.

Simon, who’s also performed here with his DJ-and-trumpetmixing side project HodgePodge, calls Ethio Cali a band of “all star musicians.” It’s a fair description.

All members perform in other

bands too; between them, a short list of their collective credits would include Lady Antebellum, Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monáe, Quetzal, Rhye, and Sinkane. (The extended Ethio Cali “family” also includes Kamasi Washington, pianist Mark de Clive Lowe, and members of Buyepongo and Chicano Batman.)

So many competing schedules make for crazy scheduling logistics, but that breadth of musical diversity also yields interesting rhythmic twists onstage. An intense solo by tenor saxophonist Randal Fisher might be answered, call-and-response style, by Simon, over throbbing cross-rhythms from conguero Kahlil Cummings and drummer Te’amir Sweeney, until Simon gives the signal for keyboardist Kibrom Birhane and violinist Tylana Renga to take graceful, melodic solos of their own. On occasions when Cummings and Sweeney are joined by another percussionist, the polyrhythmic cross-currents can be magnetic

— a boon to dancers and cerebral listeners alike.

Their 2014 “Live at the Blue Whale” was released on cassette — a nod to Mulatu Astatke and Ethiopian jazz’s 1960s-’70s heyday in its physical form as well as its spirit-lifting, celebratory content. (On a side note, Mulatu Astatke is scheduled to give a concert Dec. 19 at the Regent Theatre in Downtown LA. Ethio Cali are booked to play earlier that night at the Love Song Bar next door.) Their recorded output has mostly just captured their dynamic live shows (see note above regarding crazy scheduling logistics), which may disappoint studio aficionados but also underscores the point that this is one of the most consistently intriguing bands to experience live in greater LA. n Ethio Cali perform at the One Colorado courtyard, 41 Hugus Alley, Pasadena, 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24; free admission.

Info: (626) 564-1066. ethiocali.com, onecolorado.com

The soul-rocking Pittsburgh octet’s messages of hope and conviction get a terrific boost from Motown-style arrangements and grooves, and frontman Clinton Clegg’s gritty preacherman vocal passion. Tales of real-life stress and loss (“Do Right,” the guitar-seared “Can’t Forget You” and title track) pulse with “we’re all in this together” resilience, and deepen this compelling set’s appeal.

RIYL Lee Fields, Anderson East. Highlights: “Show Me to the Light” (“There’s got to be more than this”), “Nobody’s Listening,” “Wait” (“I ain’t no angel, I ain’t no saint/ I’m the one that will wait”). thecommonheart.com

ROB LAUFER, The Floating World (selfreleased): HHH

Taking a break from his music director gig for the Wild Honey Orchestra’s starry benefit concerts, the thoughtful tunesmith delivers a smartly crafted, nicely produced collection of pop-rockers and ballads. Hooks are strong and melodies hummable from opener “Avalanche” through young love tale “Hippie Love,” with its hints of parental concern (and a theme repeated during the thumping “Bolt of Blue,” with its slaps at “hippie hypocrite minds”).

Highlights: “Highway Machine,” “The Holding Sea,” the bittersweet title track. roblaufermusic.com

JESSE MALIN, Sunset Kids (Wicked Cool/ the Orchard/Velvet Elk): HHH½

Ghosts of relatives, Tom Petty and other beloved musicians hover lovingly around the New York rocker’s melodically gratifying new album. Lucinda Williams produced and also co-wrote two songs (including the reflective “Room 13”), and standout tracks like the guitar-churning “Shining Down” (“Keep on shining down on my life”), the yearning “Promises” and piano-teasing rocker “Meet Me at the End of the World Again” (gaining extra lift-off from Joseph Arthur’s harmonies) are animated by a bright, driving tension between gratitude and regret. jessemalin.com

Comedy Outlaw RYAN JOSEPH BRINGS A TWISTED EDGE TO THE ICE HOUSE FRIDAY

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI Three years ago, Ryan Joseph found himself with his back to the wall amid some of the most harrowing life experiences anyone can possibly endure. He was abusing drugs and alcohol himself, but one morning found his sister — who was also his best friend, and used with him — dead from an overdose.

In short order, his mom and a beloved cousin also passed away. He then came to the stark realization that he needed to quit using if he wanted to stay alive. He eventually managed to turn his life around and establish a career as a multimedia designer. But perhaps more surprisingly, he turned to performing standup comedy and has managed to become one of the fastestrising and distinctive voices on the Los Angeles comedy scene since moving here from Seattle six months ago.

His comedy is pitch-black and razor-sharp — so much so that he has driven outraged audience members out of the room at both the Ice House in Pasadena and another bar show in LA. A fan of Louis CK, Chris Rock and Bill Hicks, Joseph is getting noticed at the Comedy Store and the Ice House for his incredibly twisted material that’s especially reminiscent of bad-boy comic Anthony Jeselnik.

Joseph will be bringing his outlaw 18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.22.19

comedic sensibilities to Pasadena Friday night in the “Dat Phan and Friends” show on the second stage of the Ice House. He’s also currently making waves in the Ventura Comedy Festival.

“I like to do really dark, sick humor but deliver it in a really stupid manner,” says Joseph, taking time to discuss his dangerous and distinctive voice as he prepped for a second-round appearance in the VCF this past Tuesday.

“I project this stupid character that can talk about these things, and it’s easy to laugh at him because he’s obviously very ignorant of things; if I don’t nail that persona, that joke doesn’t go over well,” he says.

“At the Comedy Store,” he recalls, “I was followed by a guy joking about being raped by his uncle and he asked why doesn’t [the joke] work? Maybe because you come off like your real self. But I was honored he asked that of me.”

Joseph had prior experience in drama and acting, but had always enjoyed “getting a rise out of people,” so he took the bait when a friend challenged him to go up and do better than the comics he was snickering about at a Seattle open mic. He writes constantly, and has already had the dark-comics’ honor of having an audience member yell at him or walk out (or both) at the

Comedy Store and the Ice House. But his most controversial performance took place recently at a bar.

“I drove a woman out of the room, it was an amazing feeling,” says Joseph, who will also be making his New York City standup debut at the legendary club Caroline’s on Monday night. “I felt like finally, I’m a comic now. It was a bar with 10 people in it. I was getting laughs, but I knew it was a bad idea there, with no stage, standing by the bar with a microphone. I had said, ‘I’m here playing pool with my girlfriend so I can beat her in public.’ Other people said it was great, including my actual girlfriend, Jenny, but she was having a meltdown outside and her friends were trying to keep her from me. ”My girlfriend just looks at me weird, and said ‘I thought I was gonna have to kick her ass,’” he adds. “She said you might have triggered something. Some people might not get these jokes. If you bring these things up that we all have inside of us, it’s pretty cathartic, I think. I don’t want to do shock comedy. I do twists.” n Ryan Joseph performs in “Dat Phan and Friends” at 7:30 Friday at the Ice House, 24 N. Mentor Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $14. Visit brownpapertickets.com/event/3189243

rittany O’Neill was one of millions of millennials who was flailing through life amid an uncertain job market, divorced parents and a lack of purpose for their lives. At 28, she was drinking way too much way too often, allowing herself to be used by random guys, and working a job that didn’t offer enough money to build a future.

Remarkably, she turned it all around by first finding the will power to run around the block in her rundown New York City neighborhood. How she took those terrifying tentative first steps and wound up running in the New York City Marathon forms the heart of the terrific new movie and Sundance Film Fest sensation “Brittany Runs a Marathon.”

Played by rising comedy actress Jillian Bell, who lost 40 pounds herself in taking on the transformative role, the movie opens with Brittany at a stunning low point.

She works a low-paying, low-responsibility job at a live theater. Her snobby roommate drags her to nightclubs every night, yet constantly derides her as being a fat, lonely loser. She’s promiscuous, with no self-esteem and drinks way too much.

When Brittany gets a medical checkup due to feeling bloated and miserable, he tells her she has fatty deposits on her liver and is at risk of an early death if she doesn’t stop drinking and lose weight. She is scared straight by this diagnosis and wants to change, but she doesn’t even know how to begin until she meets a young gay married man in a runners’ club.

His friendliness inspires her to reach out for help which he readily gives. Brittany is also befriended by a concerned neighbor named Shannon (Jennifer Dundas), who overcame heroin addiction in her 20s and wants to inspire her.

At first, Brittany’s efforts seem comically futile, as she can barely make it around a city block while running. But as she’s joined by her two friends, she 20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.22.19

starts running further and stops drinking and sleeping around. They eventually set a goal of running the New York City Marathon together.

Another big change happens when she lands a housesitting job at night yet discovers a male slacker is doing the day shift and has actually moved into the house. At first they clash, but then they become good friends and eventually lovers as Brittany learns to trust him and open up about her life.

Meanwhile, her old roommate sees her and is shocked by her improvements. Brittany just keeps moving forward, but when she experiences a serious injury just weeks before the marathon, her plans are thrown for a loop and she has to decide if she can maintain the strength to continue improving herself or if she will backslide into self-destruction.

Based on a true story, in which the real-life Brittany lost more than 50 pounds, “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is incredibly inspiring and a “Rocky” for our times.

Its writer-director Paul Downs Colazzo wisely ties together the many issues that poor self-worth affects.

Its star Jillian Bell underwent a remarkable transformation of her own throughout the movie, losing over 40 pounds as she depicted Brittany’s efforts. It’s a rare feat during a movie shoot, especially for actresses, and adds power to her performance.

Colazzo and Bell team up to make the movie equally funny and uplifting, while also making its sadder moments deeply affecting. The supporting cast are also vibrant additions to the movie.

The movie shows that millenials raised in broken homes and without much moral guidance can become tragic messes in adulthood. Yet it also shows that anyone can strive to overcome their circumstances and be better. n

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale post-

ponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-49664.
