NEVER FORGET I fi nd it both outrageous and sad that there is a lot of debate going on in DC (District of Crime) about compensating slave descendants while forgetting about the Indian “Holocaust” descendants.

Between 1700 and 1900, over 15 million Native Americans were slaughtered with white men’s bullets, diseases and starvation policies. Where is the concern for their descendants?

Everyone remembers the extermination of the Jews during World War II. No one remembers the extermination of the 15 million Indians! White men’s bullets killed thousands of Indians.

White men’s diseases killed millions. Deliberate starvation policies killed millions more. White men killed millions of buffalo, the primary food for millions of Indians. Buffalo, by the year 1900, were nearly extinct because of the slaughter of the buffalo.

How about the fact that 800 million acres of land were stolen from the Indians between 1700 and 1900? Where is the concern for this outrage? How about the fact that more than 300 treaties were unilaterally violated by white men, including the “Great White Father.”

Again, why the concern for descendants of slaves, while there is no concern for the extermination of millions of Indians, violation of their rights, theft of their land, destruction of their way of life, and compensation for their descendants? ~ JOHN JAY VIA EMAIL

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK GILROY, EL PASO AND DAYTON ARE DEADLY REMINDERS THAT WE ALL HAVE TO BE MORE VIGILANT WHEN IT COMES TO GUN VIOLENCE Sadly, due to the number and frequency of mass shootings, I — like everyone else — must now look for exit signs, size people up, and devise plans to get my family to safety every time I go shopping or attend a public event.

That was never more evident than it was 10 days ago when I took my daughter to see “The Lion King.” Shortly after the movie started, a man wearing a MAGA hat entered the theater alone and made his way to the top row of seats. He was out of place. Probably in his 40s, and wearing a jacket in the summer heat, he kept his hands in his pockets while sitting alone in a movie for young people.

After a 30-second stare down, I began moving my 10-year-old daughter toward the exit, in spite of her protests.

Just as I was about to leave, his wife and two kids came into the theater, carrying popcorn, snacks and sodas.

“Thank God,” I thought to myself.

A few hours later that same day, July 28, three people died after being shot by 19-year-old Santino William Legon, who was fatally shot by police. Legon also wounded 13 others at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California.

Shortly before the shooting, Legon recommended on social media that people read the 19th-century book “Might Is Right,” a white supremacist tome that promotes racial violence.

Then, on Aug. 3 — the very day 31 people were shot to death and 42 others were wounded in two separate attacks in El Paso, Texas, and later Dayton, Ohio — I was once again forced to take note of the fastest way out, this time searching for an exit from the Target store in Glendale that I was shopping in with my family that Saturday morning. I got a news alert on my cell phone about the situation in El Paso as it was unfolding, so I found myself once again forced to look with suspicion at others, only now not just one person but many people I passed in the mall.

In El Paso, Texas Patrick Crusius, 21, has been charged with shooting and killing 22 people, many of them shopping for school supplies at a Walmart. Two of the victims, Jordan and Andre Anchondo, died protecting their 2-year-old son.

According to news reports, Crusius allegedly posted online a manifesto filled with white supremacist language, discouraging race mixing and calling for immigrants to “go back to their countries.” Some of the same words and phrases he used have also been used by President Trump.

Hours later, police say Connor Betts fatally wounded nine people, including his sister, before being shot to death by police following an attack launched in the city’s downtown section, an area fi lled with trendy bars, clubs and restaurants, according to CNN. An additional 27 people were wounded.

The crowd-sourced Mass Shooting Tracker Project defi nes a mass shooting as an event where four people are shot — but not necessarily killed — in one incident. Using this formula, 387 people died and 1,661 people were injured in 323 mass shootings in 2018.

Just this year alone, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker Project, there have been 297 mass shootings, including those committed last weekend, totaling 346 deaths and scores more injured.

Things have always been a little scary when it comes to mass shootings, but never like this.

My parents never worried about a mass shooter when we went to dinner, a movie, shopping or anywhere else when I was a boy growing up in Altadena. We also shouldn’t have to worry, but we must.

The fact is it’s far too easy for people with issues to get weapons, some of them capable of killing dozens of people within seconds.

Yes the GOP is correct when they say mental illness could be a contributing factor, as are probably ultra-violent video games a bad influence. But the Democrats are also correct when they point to the hateful rhetoric of a US president attempting to appease the extreme wing of a party made up of white racists.

What was also apparent after each of these events and others was the willingness of politicians to use tragedies like these to score political points.

The question is, are any of these politicians really thinking about the concerns of everyday Americans who just want to live their lives without being fearful of gun violence?

The political volleying and thoughts and prayers after shootings does nothing to calm my fears that a horrific event could devastate my family and end the lives of my wife, my 22-year old son or my 10-year old daughter at any moment.

You know that when you become suspicious of every person with whom you come into contact the fear is real.

It’s time for America to get serious about gun violence, before it’s no longer safe to venture outside. ■ 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.08.19

PASADENA CHIEF SAYS RESIDENTS MUST BE VIGILANT AND PREPARED TO PREVENT MASS SHOOTINGS

ONE-WAY TICKET

TRUMP THREATENS TO RELEASE TERRORISTS IN EUROPE

WEB EXCLUSIVE ‘IT IS TIME’

REP. CHU AMONG MAJORITY OF HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO SUPPORT TRUMP IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY US Rep. Judy Chu (D-Pasadena) said she supports an impeachment inquiry of the president.

“I believe it is time for Congress to open an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump,” Chu said in a statement issued on July 31. “The proceedings must be deliberate and transparent.

We have a sacred duty as members of Congress to ensure that nobody is above the law. To do nothing given what we know is unacceptable.”

However, Chu’s congressional colleague, Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank, is not sure if that is the right thing to do.

“I think where we are is probably most accurately described as preliminary to a judicial proceeding (to a) … potential impeachment. But we should see the evidence. And we are just starting to. And, yes, it’s taken too long, but that has largely been by the design of the president,” Schiff was quoted saying by MSNBC. Of the 16 Los Angeles County Democrat Congress members asked about an impeachment inquiry, Schiff was among four who said “not yet,” according to the Pasadena Star-News.

Chu said she was moved toward impeachment after Special Counsel Robert Mueller III appeared before Congress and reiterated his contention that President Trump had not been cleared of obstruction of justice charges.

Since that time, a majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives have said they support an impeachment inquiry, according to NBC News.

According to Pasadena Now, on Monday, a protester disrupted a panel at All Saints Church and approached Schiff while screaming, “What are you afraid of? When will you hold the president accountable?”

The protester was quickly hustled out of the church by security.

Schiff later said we were reaching a “tipping point.”

However, the chances of removing President Trump remain slim due to a Republican majority in the US Senate.

“He reiterated clear evidence that President Trump obstructed justice and that if Trump were not the president, he would be on trial,” Chu said of Mueller’s testimony.

The day after Mueller testified, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report confirming Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

In an interview appearing July 18, Chu told the Pasadena Weekly she believed the president committed impeachable offenses.

“I want to make sure the American public is with us on this,” Chu said. “If we start the process, then all of America will be focused on it. What America needs to know is the ultimate goal cannot be accomplished with Republicans in charge.”

WORLD CUP-WINNING US WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM KICKS OFF VICTORY TOUR WITH A 3-0 WIN OVER IRELAND AT THE ROSE BOWL STORY AND PHOTOS BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN

F

resh off their second World Cup win in a row (and fourth total), the US women’s national soccer team defeated Ireland 3-0 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Saturday. The game was the US team’s first since the World Cup Final against the Netherlands on July 7 in Lyon, France, in which the United States beat the Netherlands 2-0.

Several times during the game, the crowd of 37,040 people broke into chants of “Equal pay! Equal pay!” in support of the US women’s team’s lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, the body that governs the sport in the United States.

The match against Ireland kicked off a five-game victory tour for the US team and was the third game in the Rose Bowl since the US team won the groundbreaking 1999 Women’s World Cup. The remaining four games in the victory tour will see the US team face off against Portugal on Aug. 29 and Sept. 3 and against South Korea on Oct. 3 and 6.

‘Full circle’ In the 1999 World Cup Final at the Rose Bowl, the US women’s

team tied with China, leading to nail-biting penalty kicks in front of a crowd of 90,185 people, the largest ever for a women’s sporting event. US player Brandi Chastain scored the final goal to put the US team over the top at 5-4, inspiring legions of young girls and boys playing soccer across the country. It was a watershed moment for women’s sports.

Playing in the same stadium as the 1999 team 20 years later “is extraordinary, a full circle moment,” midfielder Megan Rapinoe, 34, from Redding, told the Pasadena Weekly before the US team’s Friday practice at the Rose Bowl.

“We’re all in that age that we were inspired by that win,” she added. “To be able to come back here and celebrate a huge win that we had and connect the dots all the way through the program is very special.”

After scoring the winning penalty kick in 1999, Chastain slid onto her knees in triumph and ripped off her jersey, revealing her sports bra. It was a moment seen — and dissected — around the world, and the ensuing controversy highlighted the double standard facing female athletes.

On July 10, the 20th anniversary of that 1999 World Cup Final, the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation installed a bronze statue of Chastain’s iconic moment, depicting her on her knees clutching her derobed jersey with a look of pure exultation on her face. The statue is located in front of the stadium’s main entrance, Gate A, near where countless youth soccer games take place, ensuring that the moment will continue to inspire new generations of soccer players. Chastain herself attended the statue’s unveiling ceremony. “[This statue] is not just for one person, it’s for every little soccer player out there,” Chastain said. “I hope every player who puts on cleats has a moment like that.”

‘Just What This Country Needs Right Now’ On Friday, one day before their game against Ireland, the US women’s team held a practice session on the Rose Bowl’s Spieker Field and spoke about the legacy of the trailblazing 1999 team.

Jill Ellis, the US team’s head coach, said Chastain’s iconic moment was the inspiration to play soccer for some of the current team’s players.

Ellis announced on July 30 that she is retiring after five years and 103 wins. She is the first coach to win two Women’s World Cup titles.

“That moment [in 1999] was the catalyst of a movement in terms of suddenly taking this game to a level where it reaches a bigger audience and attracts more investment,” said Ellis, 52. “It pushed us forward and upward. The Rose Bowl is a great place to kick [our victory tour] off.”

Forward Alex Morgan, 30, who grew up in Diamond Bar and played soccer at UC Berkeley, said her team was continuing the legacy started by the 1999 team.

“The ’99ers had such a domino and lasting effect on both myself but also the future of women’s soccer in the United States and globally,” she said. “This team, the ’19ers, is doing the same and continuing to uphold that legacy. but it definitely started with the ’99ers right here [at the Rose Bowl].”

Morgan and Rapinoe did not play Saturday because of injuries.

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti attended Friday’s practice and gave the championship team some words of encouragement.

“You’re just what this country needs right now,” he told them.

The US women’s team didn’t just win the World Cup; they set several records along the way, including scoring the most goals in tournament history with 26 and the most goals in a single Women’s World Cup match and the largest margin of victory when they beat Thailand 13-0. The US team has also won 12 consecutive World Cup matches, the longest winning streak in the tournament’s history.

On the same day as the unveiling of the

PW ARTS

BRIEFS

Chastain statue, July 10, this year’s World Cupwinning US women’s team received a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan to celebrate the team’s fourth World Cup win.

Rapinoe, Morgan, Lavelle and midfielder Julie Ertz, 27, were all nominated for the 2019 Best FIFA Women’s Player award, along with eight other players from different countries. The winner will be announced at the Best FIFA Football Awards show on September 23 in Milan, Italy.

‘Doing What’s Right’ Despite these accomplishments, the US women’s national soccer team continues to make less money than the US men’s national soccer team, which has not performed nearly as well as the women’s team. The men’s team didn’t even qualify for the 2018 World Cup, for instance, and they lost to Mexico in the Copa America tournament’s final game on the same day the women’s team won their World Cup Final, July 7.

Several players on the US women’s team have sued US Soccer over allegations that the men’s team receives more in bonuses and game day pay.

“We’re fighting here on the soccer level, but [the equal pay fight has] an even bigger scope, in the boardroom, in hospitals, in the teachers’ [lounge], it’s everywhere,” said Ellis. “At some point, it comes down to doing what’s right.”

On July 29, US Soccer President Carlos Cordeiro released an open letter claiming the organization actually pays the women’s team more than the men even though the men’s team brings in more revenue than the women’s team. “[Cordeiro’s letter] missed the whole point,” Rapinoe said. “It’s more about the potential earnings of each team, that’s what’s really unequal.”

Rapinoe is also relishing her role as antagonist to President Trump, who backtracked on his invitation for the championship women’s team to visit the White House after they won the World Cup. “People are frustrated and fed up with all of the negativity and the cruelty coming from the [Trump] administration, not only just vulgar language but racist and sexist behavior,” Rapinoe said at the Rose Bowl.

US Hat Trick Looking ahead, the US women’s team is preparing for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. And FIFA announced on July 31 that the number of participating countries in the 2023 Women’s World Cup will expand from 24 to 32, reflecting the growing popularity but also competitiveness of women’s soccer.

The United States, which is hosting the men’s World Cup along with Mexico and Canada in 2026 and the Olympics in LA in 2028, is hoping to host the Women’s World Cup in 2027. n

PASADENA CHIEF SAYS RESIDENTS MUST BE VIGILANT AND PREPARED TO PREVENT MASS SHOOTINGS

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

John Perez Pasadena Police Chief John Perez told the Pasadena Weekly on Monday that the department was not on alert after the mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, but said officers are focused on ensuring that the community is operationally prepared for such a disaster.

On Saturday, two separate shooting incidents left 31 people dead in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.

Twenty-two people were killed in the El Paso shooting. Police said they found an anti-immigrant manifesto espousing white nationalist and racist views, which they believe was written by the suspect, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, according to CNN. Nine people died and 27 others were injured in Dayton hours later. The shooter, 24-year-old Connor Betts, was killed by police just 30 seconds after shots were fired.

“It’s not just the police,” Perez said. “Pasadena has to be about having a community that is aware also. You have to be aware of exit and entrance points. We have to know our surroundings better.”

Perez said it’s not just about the response time of police, but also about taking preventive measures before shootings occur.

“Our community has to have the confidence to step up and say I saw something on social media. We have to say something if we see something,” Perez said.

In a recent local case, police arrested a man who threatened a city employee. After conducting an investigation, police discovered the man illegally possessed several firearms.

In May, police responded to calls of a man with a gun dressed in body armor on Glen Avenue, near Howard Street. When police arrived, Daniel Warren, 36, yelled at the officers and pointed a rifle at them.

Police opened fire and Warren retreated behind a house where he was later found dead from a gunshot fired by police. Investigators recovered a rifle with a large capacity drum style magazine and a handgun nearby.

In 2014, John Izael Smith, 44, fatally shot three people and wounded two others from his home on Summit Avenue. Police arrested Smith after a 911 caller convinced him to surrender.

“Social organization in any neighborhood where people are connected to one another prevents crime and helps us go after criminals,” said Perez. “National Night Out is huge for us. It gets people out of their homes and meeting each other and police. Our hearts go out to Dayton and El Paso. They need the positive support. This hits all of us emotionally hard.” n

THE DEVIL’S

WORK

AN INTERVIEW WITH JOURNALIST IVOR DAVIS, WHO COVERED THE MANSON FAMILY MURDERS

BY DAVID COMDEN

O

ver a 60-year career, Ivor Davis has seen and written about things most people only dream about: Touring with The Beatles throughout North America in 1964, interviewing hundreds of celebrities on three continents, and covering news stories for a variety of publications worldwide. But one story has left a chilling and indelible mark on him — his coverage of the notorious Manson Family murders. That story, which begins the day after the first of two nights of terror on August 9 and 10, 1969, will never be forgotten.

The crimes, which happened 50 years ago, were among the most brutal in American history. And the trials of Charles Manson and his acolytes was a public spectacle the likes of which had never been seen before. And the whole world was watching.

Davis, who lives in Ventura, covered the story for Britain’s Daily Express and wrote the first book ever about these crimes, Five To Die, which was released in 1970, predating the trials and Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi’s bestseller Helter Skelter by four years.

Now, five decades later, Davis has just finished a new book: Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder.

The VCReporter, a sister publication of the Pasadena Weekly, recently sat down with Davis to discuss the crimes, the courtroom drama and his recollections from a half-century ago.

Q: I’d like you to give us a quick setup of what occurred on those two nights in August 1969.

A: Very simply, Charles Manson sent out Tex Watson and the girls to Cielo Drive.

I don’t think Manson knew or if he knew, she wasn’t the target — that Sharon Tate lived there. He decided that he wanted to orchestrate some crimes to cover up and look like the kind of crimes that his friend Bobby Beausoleil was in jail for and was facing possibly the death penalty.

And he thought if he created other killings with a similar modus operandi, then the cops would say, hey guess what poor Bobby Beausoleil, who was in jail for murder couldn’t have done it because there were two more nights of murders that were absolutely copycat…they’re similar murders, so Bobby you can go home now.

Take us through the first night, Aug. 8, 1969 The first night Linda Kasabian, a young girl who’d been in the Manson family for

10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.08.19

one month – was told by Manson to drive Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Tex Watson to the home up Benedict Canyon. Watson knew where the Cielo Drive home was, knew the address, he’d been there and had stayed overnight as a guest there, not a guest of former owner Terry Melcher but of Melcher’s recording friends.

Tex went to the house and the girls came with him. They cut the telephone lines.

They climbed over the fence. I mean, one thing that struck me was that they were all barefooted. I mean, they didn’t wear shoes and they walked into the house and Wojciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger, his girlfriend the coffee heiress said, ‘hi, who are you? to Tex Watson and Watson said that immortal line, I’m the devil here to do the devil’s work.

And for a moment they didn’t believe they were going to be killed but then they were murdered brutally. They were stabbed dozens of times. Everybody in the house — Sharon Tate, eight months pregnant, expecting a baby in two weeks – she was with Jay Sebring her hairdresser and ex-boyfriend and they went around, Atkins, Krenwinkel and Watkins, just stabbed them all viciously, chased them onto the lawn, they had no mercy for them.

Minutes before that, a young man named Steven Parent happened to be visiting somebody in the adjacent guest house. He was about to leave when Tex Watson saw him, went to the car, and blasted him with four bullets. Poor guy didn’t know what hit him; wrong place, wrong time.

And then when they finished and they did their dirty work and everybody had been stabbed multiple times, they jumped in the car, took off their dirty clothing, drove to the nearest canyon and threw their clothing over the railing. They also stopped at a neighbor’s house and used the hose to wash down, then went back to the ranch. Charlie asked how did it go, and Tex said ‘we left messages’ – they painted in the blood of the victims. They painted Helter Skelter and all those kinds of messages that Manson said to leave to show that you’ve been there. And they did.

They were on drugs — Linda Kasabian, who drove, never went into the house but she saw and heard what happened — she stayed most of the time with the car and that’s why when everybody was arrested, Linda Kasabian was able to get immunity because she didn’t take part in any of the actual killings.

So on the first night five people died. Tell us about the second night.

Second night: Manson decided that they’d done a rather botched job — they’d

made a mess of it, and he said I’m gonna take you out and show you how you’re supposed to do it. And, amazingly enough, they drove around because Manson wasn’t sure where they were going to go. They drove to Pasadena, they looked into a minister’s house and they saw a child so they drove away. They ended up on Waverly Drive in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles because Manson had been to parties two doors away many times…

Harold True — a UCLA student who befriended Manson, had parties there.

Manson went into the house, he told Rosemary and Leno LaBianca, I won’t hurt you.

He then tied them up, went outside and told Watson, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Steve Grogen who had not gone on the first murder, to go into the house and finish them off. And they did. And there were stabbings, brutally — they carved messages into Leno’s stomach — I mean it was horrible. And they also painted Helter Skelter on the wall but they spelled it with a ‘hea’ — incorrectly, so they’re obviously guilty of bad spelling.

There’s already been a lot written about this: books, stories and movies.

Why did you choose to write another book about this subject?

Well, I was very familiar with the case from day one. And I am a bit of an expert on it because I’ve lived it. I know and have interviewed many of the principals but not long ago I was in Seattle and a couple of young men came in to do some decorating in my daughter’s house and we were talking about crime and somehow the conversation came up — and I asked them about Manson and they hadn’t a clue who he was. One of them said he’s the guy that poisoned everybody, I said no, that’s Jim Jones. The other one said oh no, he’s a heroic guy kind of like Che Guevara. He said he was out to clean the air — his mission in life was to have a clean environment, clean water.

They knew nothing about the murders and if there are 28, 30 year olds out there who don’t know the havoc that Manson did, well, I said, I’m going to write another book.

Tell us how you became involved in covering this crime the day after the first night of terror.

I became involved when I saw that five people had been murdered in Beverly Hills and I went over to the house in the canyon and found press madness outside the gate.

By pure coincidence, a soccer playing friend of mine lived two doors away so I went to the house and he told me who had lived nearby. And from that day onwards I followed the crime. The police didn’t solve the crime for four months.

How was the crime solved?

Pure unadulterated luck. One of the killers, Susan Atkins, was in prison — in jail at the Sybil Brand Institute in downtown Los Angeles. She was in jail not for the murders of Sharon Tate, but for the murder of Gary Hinman. Hinman was a musician who lived in Topanga Canyon and he was murdered on July 27, 1969. Murdered, tortured … brutally done — slogans painted on his wall. She was implicated in that murder with a guy called Robert Beausoleil. They were sent there by Charles Manson. In jail Susan Atkins started bragging, she started boasting to her cellmates, telling them about killing Sharon Tate. The cellmates never believed her but the story was so credible that after two weeks of bragging, they went to the prison authorities and said hey, our cellmate says she’s guilty of the Sharon Tate murders.

The cops wouldn’t listen to her until weeks later, they went out, interviewed Susan

Atkins and she spilled her guts, and the cops heard it all. About two weeks later, they announced they’d cracked the case.

Tell us about some of the physical evidence that the local media found.

This was embarrassing for the police because Al Wiman, a young reporter for ABC Television in LA thought if I was a killer, where would I dump my murder clothing, where’s the nearest place? So he got into his car, went to Cielo Drive, drove about half a mile away and as soon as he could pull over in the canyon he pulled over. He looked down and lo and behold, there was a bunch of bloody clothing down in the canyon. Of course, he knew what he’d seen, he called the cops, and the embarrassed police showed up and said hey, this is the murder clothing.

How did Vincent Bugliosi become the lead prosecutor?

In legend today, Vincent Bugliosi is the man that got Manson — and he did. But Vince was originally the second chair attorney — he was a young, ambitious guy, a hard-driving guy who had success in many of his cases and by pure chance he happened to wander past the district attorney’s office. He popped his head in, said hi and said that he had just won a big case, a gang prosecution in the Valley, and the district attorney said, oh Aaron — Aaron Stovitz, the original chief prosecutor on the Manson case — you need a guy to help you … how about Vince? And Aaron said sure Vince you’re on the case. And that’s how he got on.

I mean, Vincent claims he was picked out of 500 attorneys. Not really. Again, right place at the right time, except he survived and poor old Steven Parent didn’t.

Now, it was said before the verdict that this was an unwinnable case. Why is that?

Well, it was unwinnable because Manson was not a participant in the actual murders. He was not at the Cielo Drive Sharon Tate house on the night of the killings. He went to the LaBianca house on the second night of the killings but he left — he didn’t participate in the actual murders. And, the cops were absolutely amazed, they didn’t have a case. Bugliosi was wandering and fishing around for a motive.

In the state of California, if you can prove a person was involved in the conspiracy of a murderous act, even if they didn’t wield a knife or pull the trigger, they can be found guilty of murder … and that’s what Bugliosi did with his incredible thesis on why Manson did it, which was Beatles lyrics made me do it.

Tell us about all of Manson’s music and connections in the business.

He was a musician. He learned to play in jail because Charles Manson was a child of the prison system, most of his life as a young man — as a child he was in jail, he was behind bars. He learned to play the guitar. He loved the Beatles music and he was so — some said he was a brilliant musician, some said he was an average musician.

So he desperately wanted to become famous and somebody said that he wanted to be more famous than the Beatles. So that was the background to Manson’s music ambitions.

And while he was living at the Spahn Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, he was able to entice a guy named Terry Melcher, the son of Doris Day, to come and hear him perform. Now, I should say he’d met Melcher through another famous musician, Dennis Wilson, the drummer of the Beach Boys, who was a real druggie, a crazy man and a good musician who met Manson and invited Manson to stay at his mansion on Sunset CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Hidden Blessings SISTA MARY’S OF GLENDALE OFFERS SOUL FOOD WITH A TWIST

A

s the end draws near, gone is the excitement of summer, with retailers starting to promote heavier clothing, harvest décor lining store shelves, and, sadly, no more vacation days in which to while away the hours.

Also with the end of summer comes the predictability of traditional fall dining, so when a group of friends and I went gallivanting around Glendale last weekend we knew we wanted to brunch like we hadn’t brunched before.

Following a few online searches and group discussions, one of my friends suggested Sista Mary’s Soul Food in Glendale. Although I’d never heard of it and didn’t initially plan on writing a review about it, I never say no to fried chicken, which Sista Mary’s, by the looks of their Yelp page, had in abundance.

Sista Mary’s is located on Colorado Street in Glendale, literally a one-minute drive, or seven-minute walk from the Americana on Brand. We arrived around 1 p.m. on Sunday and, despite brunch and lunch rushes at plenty of restaurants in the city, there were only two other people dining inside in addition to our group of four. Once inside, we found that the restaurant housed a small stage at the front of the room with speakers and a TV. We asked our waitress if the restaurant used to be an event space, and she said they frequently have events

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.

and cater special occasions. It all made sense.

She brought us menus right away and took our drink orders, then shortly afterward brought over complimentary cornbread and butter for the table.

To start, we ordered the Sista Mary’s Crab Cakes ($11) which are two crab cakes served on top of a corn purée topped with mango relish and avocado cream sauce. We thought that between the bread and a couple of bites each that it would be enough, but really we should have ordered a second.

It was easy to decide on the main entree as soon as I saw chicken and waffles ($15) with the option to order unique takes on the old favorite, like chocolate chip, Fruity Pebbles, and red velvet in lieu of the traditional buttermilk. The fun flavors are offered in both their waffle and pancake dishes. I went with the Fruity Pebbles and substituted from drumsticks to chicken breast for an extra $2. As soon as I took my fi rst bite of the waffles it was like traveling back in time to my childhood, when I’d eat cereal and watch cartoons on Saturday mornings. I’ll admit I was worried they would be too sweet, but the Fruity Pebbles are mixed into the batter, and only lightly sprinkled on top, so the flavor is defi nitely there but it’s not overwhelming. The chicken was perfectly fried, crisp on the outside, easy to slice and chewy underneath.

One of my friends in the group decided to go with the brunch menu that is only available on Saturdays and Sundays and ordered Gabby’s French Toast Cobbler ($15). This dish is served as six triangle shaped slices topped with butter, whipped cream, and peach cobbler, with a side choice of bacon, chicken, or pork sausage. While he went heavy on the syrup, it was great, and the

added sausage on the side made for a perfectly balanced meal.

The other two friends in the group wound up sharing a shrimp po’boy ($17). The po’boys are served on a French roll with Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and Sista Mary’s secret sauce, which ties everything together. If you’ve had cornbread and an appetizer, or perhaps are just not that hungry, the po’boys are defi nitely a shareable entrée, and both look and taste amazing.

Perhaps my biggest regret afterward was not trying their mac and cheese. It’s hard to go wrong with this dish, and everything else on their menu was incredible, so I can only imagine how good it must be. I suppose I will just have to revisit to fi nd out. Other items on their menu well worth trying on the brunch menu are Linda’s Breakfast Burger ($15), made with bacon and a sunny side up egg, and the pancake or waffle combo with the chocolate chip flavor, fried catfi sh ($17), and Mary’s fi sh or shrimp and grits ($15) cooked in clam juice and green onions, topped with choice of fish or shrimp. Sides of candied yams and collard greens are the perfect addition to any of their classic dishes. For dessert, Natty’s banana pudding ($10) is a must try, and G2’s Fried Oreos ($7) are just as nostalgic as the Fruity Pebbles for those who have them at the LA County Fair each year.

It’s dining excursions like this one at Sista Mary’s that remind me how much I enjoy what I do, and why it’s great for everyone to step out of the familiar every now and then and try something new. Whether it’s for a special event or casual brunch or dinner, Sista Mary’s is the perfect place to visit with friends or family for an authentic soul food experience.

A DUCKLING’S TALE

CHILDHOOD PAIN AND TRAUMA STILL HAUNT A TALENTED ATHLETE Dear Patti, As a young girl I was very plain, maybe even ugly. I was pale skinned with uncontrollable frizzy hair, and by the time I was 12 I was overweight and had breasts and feet as big as my mother’s. In junior high I was taller and bigger than all the boys and when I wasn’t ridiculed or groped, I was ignored.

I never knew my father but have two older brothers who at that time had already graduated high school. Although they were affectionate toward me, they didn’t pay much attention to how I was treated by my peers. Both my brothers loved basketball and soccer and I learned everything about their favorite sports because I desperately wanted their attention and admiration.

The summer before ninth grade, I met a coach who was very impressed with my knowledge about sports. He suspected that if I got in shape there might also be hidden talent as a player as well. Once my brothers realized my abilities they also took more of an interest in me. By the time I was a senior in high school, I was an all-star in both basketball and soccer. I played basketball in college as well. I believe my success on the court was in part because I let out my pent up anger.

Now, I’m 25 with a promising career. I’m athletic with a nice body and an energetic and confi dent demeanor. I’ve had several casual boyfriends and guys almost always seem to find me attractive and try to flirt with me. Even though I’m friendly to them, I keep a distance and have never let a man get truly close to me. I think of how terribly I was treated by boys when I was an awkward, heavy young girl, and I feel mad. I don’t trust men. I can’t help but wonder how they’d treat me if I were still out of shape and unattractive. Even my brothers didn’t really care about me until I had a talent in sports. Deep down, I want a close romantic relationship but I’m not sure I’ll ever get it.

— Emily Dear Emily, Fairy tales survive for so many years due to their relevance. “The Ugly Duckling”

by Hans Christian Andersen is about a duckling that was teased, taunted, and chased because he looked different. After hiding for a long time, he saw his reflection in the water and realized he was no longer a clumsy, oversized bird but instead had become a magnificent swan. You’ve become that swan, Emily. Yet, understandably, because of your anger, you are still the ugly duckling in hiding without the intimacy you’ve wanted since you were a child. How tragic that you’re fi nally getting the admiration and attention of the opposite sex and can’t enjoy it.

You’ve transformed into your magnificent self and yet your unfi nished feelings from the past are making it so you are unable to appreciate or enjoy the present. You are still confi ned by the trauma and pain from childhood. If you continue to project onto men the cruelty of those who preceded them, you may always end up alone and bitter. A man might meet you and feel only warmth and goodwill, yet you automatically defend yourself against potential negativity.

I highly recommend getting professional psychotherapy. You need to face the pain and rage that has created this wall that makes you unable to trust and be open and intimate with others, especially men. This may also include any anger you may feel at being abandoned by your father. As you work through these excruciating emotions, they’ll intrude on you less and less.

Here’s a homework assignment. I want you to keep two diaries, one labeled “Past” and one labeled “Present.” In the book labeled Past, explore the agonizing memories you’ve been unable to leave behind. Explore the loneliness and outrage at how you were mistreated. In the book labeled Present, you’re not allowed to project feelings from your past. Only explore feelings directly related to present experiences. For example, how did you feel when that handsome man smiled at you today?

In time you can heal these memories and get on with the new, meaningful life you deserve. ■ 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.

THE DEVIL’S WORK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

Blvd. with the whole Manson clan … Manson and his girls moved into Dennis Wilson’s house.

So, Charlie Manson was making connections in the music biz. Dennis Wilson, who introduced him to some of the Beach Boys, who introduced him to Terry Melcher — and that was Manson’s ambition, to be a recording star.

In your book, you have a portion with quotes from Neil Young.

Well, Neil Young was one of the guys that Manson met at Dennis Wilson’s house on Sunset Blvd. in Pacific Palisades. And every time they went to Dennis Wilson’s house, the free entertainment was Charles Manson, and I think the judgment of his music was somewhat influenced by imbibing certain chemicals. So I think Mr. Young was enamored because he was probably zoned or whatever out of his mind and he actually said he thought Manson was kind of like a new Bob Dylan.

How do you think Charles Manson was able to convince all these people that became his Family to do the things they did?

Charles Manson was a survivor of the prison system and he was a shrewd, canny psychopath who was a narcissist and all the things that go into a manipulation of people. And he ended up having these young, most of them runaway girls who had family problems, and he was able to talk them into doing what he wanted them to do. I mean, very cleverly, a brainwasher. And of course what helped is he handed out drugs like candy and the combination of that and his mesmerizing skills — he was good at it, he was very clever. I mean, he studied all sorts of books when he was in jail — just a ton of stuff. And, he was a master manipulator. And most of the girls wanted to hear what he had to say and they swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

Are there other facts of the case that are not well known that we might find interesting?

Well, I touched upon one of the items. In my opinion, Vincent Bugliosi prosecuted successfully and convinced a jury that Charles Manson was guilty of these murders and the reason he did the murders was to trigger a black and white revolution that he believed the Beatles predicted in their White Album, songs like Helter Skelter and Piggies and Revolution. He thought they were sending him messages and he got this to be believed by his followers.

But the true reason why Manson sent his people out to kill was to get his buddy Bobby Beausoleil off the hook for the murder of Gary Hinman. I honestly believe that, but the point is Vincent Bugliosi wasn’t going to run with that because that was a tough one to prove, so he went with the theory of the Beatles made me do it — lyrics, revolution, and he was backed up because many of the witnesses who were members of the Manson family said Charlie did tell us there was a revolution with blood going to flow in the streets of America. They believed it and so did the jury.

Fifty years later, what do you think society has learned or how it’s changed after this episode?

Well I think today people are much more cautious. I mean it seems a silly thing to say cautious. Back in the ’60s, security was a word nobody knew. I mean, the only security I can remember is the Bel Air Patrol. Roman Polanski (Sharon Tate’s husband who was in Europe at the time of the slayings — people could walk into people’s houses, they didn’t have sophisticated security. You actually gave people rides in your car — hitchhiking was fairly popular. I don’t think it happens much today.

And it was a whole different free spirit, peace and love California surf time … and today, unfortunately and maybe we live more carefully but — we live with our doors locked most of the time and burglar alarms and we can be in Timbuktu and we can see what’s happening in our neighborhood from our cellphone. Times have changed.

Is it possible that these events led to the end of the era of love? The ’60s?

Oh, it was … It was the end of the era of love and peace in 1969, the ’60s which was an open society. I mean, you were young but you remember and it was a complete — I mean it — not only that but when the murders took place the whole city was terrified because they said people living in safe neighborhoods are no longer safe? It had become a myth. You know, it was an illusion that was shattered, destroyed by Manson and the gang. ■

COSMIC DO-OVER

LIFE-THREATENING ACCIDENT INSPIRED FILM DIRECTOR TOM SHADYAC TO MAKE SOME DRAMATIC CHANGES

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

I

n 2006, Tom Shadyac seemed to have the world at his fingertips. He had directed nearly every one of Jim Carrey’s comedy blockbusters, including the “Ace Ventura” films, “Liar Liar” and “Bruce Almighty,” as well as Eddie Murphy’s remake of “The Nutty Professor.”

His resulting $50 million fortune included a 17,000 square-foot mansion with two other side houses on a seven-acre property in Pasadena, and yet he still felt miserable inside. Then, he received what he believes was a cosmic awakening after experiencing a nearfatal accident on his bicycle and subsequent post-concussion trauma for three years.

Shadyac’s recovery resulted in him deciding to change everything, as he gave up his lavish lifestyle to reconnect with the

Catholic faith of his youth. He also walked away from Hollywood for over a decade, but is mounting an unexpected comeback this weekend with the inspiring and dramatic true-life biopic “Brian Banks” — a movie that also shines a much-needed spotlight on the need for judicial reform.

“I got sick about 13 years ago, had a bad concussion and it tossed me out of the game a couple years with post-concussion syndrome,” recalls Shadyac. “I haven’t been able to get anything going for a long, long time. I had a lot of changes in my life that led to a film like this. I live in Memphis now and live and work in an underserved community that’s changed my life. I went to work and teach in Memphis and I ended up being taught.

The Sierra Madre Shakespeare Festival offers free, professional performances of the classic, “Much Ado About Nothing,” starting at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Sierra Madre’s Memorial Park, 222 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Guests may bring blankets, lawn chairs and picnics. Performances continue on Aug. 17 and 18. Visit sierrashakes.com.

MOVIE CLUB CONTINUES ITS MONTHLONG RESIDENCY AT HOUSE OF MACHINES WITH WARGIRL AND FRIENDS

uitarist Vince Cuneo and drummer Jessamyn Violet were already connected and played together in various lineups in Venice’s eclectic music community. So when Foo Fighters keyboardist Rami Jaffee asked them to put together a set for a splashy pre-Cal Jam party at his Fonogenic Studios in Van Nuys last October, it seemed like a cool idea — high fun factor, low hassle. Who wouldn’t want to rock out with Dave Grohl barbecuing on the patio?

As things turned out, Cuneo and Violet found themselves backing up Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. And they received enough compliments that their creative wheels spun into overdrive.

“It was pretty wild,” Cuneo recently recalled. “Things took off from there. We had never considered being in a band together, and then this opportunity came up and both our schedules freed up from our old bands. We got a good reception so we just started writing and have been writing like crazy ever since. That’s how we were able to put two EPs out

in just a few months.”

Calling themselves Movie Club, the stylish instrumental duo issued their first EP, “Kraken,” in February. That was followed by June’s “Hammerhead,” on which Lettuce bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes brings some funk to boost their surfgarage-rock tunes. Influenced by “the sounds of Venice Beach” and surf guitar king Dick Dale, they shot a free-spirited video for psychedelic opening track “Navy Seal” — a tribute to Dale — with videographer Seannie Bryan and live painter Jules Muck (plus one seriously deadpan hound).

Initial concerns about how they would fare playing only instrumentals were brushed aside as they took a cue from one of their favorite bands, Houston trio Khruangbin.

“We had been following them for a while and kind of the same thing happened: they didn’t have a singer and they were playing small clubs, and now they’re kind of a big religion in instrumental bands. They were a huge influence on us,” Cuneo said. “Both of us can sing but we speak with

our instruments more.”

This month he and Violet are letting people “tune into the music” during a residency at House of Machines in downtown LA’s Arts District. Every Thursday the spacious venue, which also houses a motorcycle collection, will host Movie Club and friends; this Thursday, Aug. 8, they’ll be joined by Wargirl, Bone Acre, and Latumba.

Future guests include the Haunts and Family of Light (Aug. 15); the Gnars, the Oil Barons, and Red Soul X (Aug. 22); and Los Shadows and Los Fauna (Aug. 29).

“Our music has definitely taken more shape into the rock scene,” Cuneo said, by way of explaining their amalgam of garage rock, hip-hop, surf rock, and ’90s alt-rock. “It makes for a unique sound, so when people see us it’s awesome to hear what their take is. It also frees us up, because we can make any kind of record we want from here.” n Movie Club at House of Machines, 2028 E. Seventh St., DTLA, tonight and every Thursday in August; free admission.

TRAX

BY BLISS

MARC COHN & BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA, Work to Do (BMG): HHH½

Cohn’s cited Paul Simon’s 1973 recordings with the Dixie Hummingbirds as an early influence, but this John Leventhal-produced collaboration with the venerable Blind Boys of Alabama is more stylistically compatible, thanks to Cohn’s soul- and gospel-grained style. Three studio tracks, including the uplifting title tune and a handclapping take on the Golden Gate Quartet’s “Walking in Jerusalem,” complement seven concert performances recorded for PBS’ “The Kate,” most reprised in harmonyfocused arrangements from Cohn’s catalogue.

“Walking in Memphis” and the Blind Boys’ “House of the Rising Sun”-based version of “Amazing Grace” provide extended vocal showcases; more quietly powerful are “Ghost Train” and “One Safe Place.” Marccohnmusic.com, blindboys.com

AVERY R. YOUNG, tubman. (FPE): HHHH

Chicago poet, composer and teacher Young envisions this arresting set as a soundtrack to his recently published poetry collection “neckbone: visual verses,” but they function independently just fine. From the Staple Singers-influenced “Sit Down Job” through the title track’s call-and-response chills, the album’s rooted in history, 1970s funk, and gospel. “Maasai” is bracketed by 38-second choral interludes, while cello and piano introduce the haunting “Lead in de Wattah: A Revisited Negro Spiritual fo (r) Flint,” which builds from the traditional “Wade in the Water” melody to a crescendo of voices singing their pain and outrage.

York Sings Dylan

SINGER AND GUITARIST JOHN YORK SINGS THE MUSIC OF BOB DYLAN SUNDAY AT COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE. JOHN YORK, A FORMER MEMBER OF THE BYRDS WHO WILL BE PERFORMING BOB DYLAN SONGS AT THE COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE SUNDAY, HAS HAD AN ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER, ONE THAT HAS PLACED HIM IN THE MUSICAL COMPANY OF MANY LEGENDARY GREATS, BESIDES THOSE HE MET DURING HIS STINT WITH THAT FLOWER-POWER BAND. Some of those musicians include Nicky Hopkins, Clarence White, Doug Sahm of the Sir Douglas Quintet, The Mamas and Papas, Johnny Rivers, Lightnin’ Hopkins and former members of The Band. He has also toured with groundbreaking protest-rock singer Barry McGuire (“Eve of Destruction”) in their “Trippin’ the Sixties” tours.

Performing the music of Dylan is particularly fitting, since some of The Byrds’ hits were covers of Dylan songs.

Visit johnyorkmusic.com. — John Sollenberger

Venice-based wife-and-husband duo of KP Hawthorn (Kirsten Proffit) and Johnny Hawthorn stir country and rock inclinations into a sunny mix bright with chiming guitars, pop hooks and Southern California imagery. Proffit’s “The 405” is a sweet love song with which LA cross-town commuters can relate (“It’s not gonna be a highspeed chase/ No sneakin’ into that diamond lane/ Time is gonna tell me what it’s all about”), while acoustic charmer “Lucky Charmer” and a cover of John Moreland’s “Nobody Gives a Damn About Songs Anymore” nicely showcase the couple’s harmonies and upbeat attitude. thehawtthorns.com

JESSE DAYTON, Mixtape Vol. 1 (Blue Elan): HHH

Always an independent thinker, the erstwhile Rob Zombie collaborator goes his own way rendering songs by AC/DC, Jackson Browne, the Clash, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and ZZ Top, among others, tracing tangled connections between folk, rock and country en route. Backed by pretty acoustic guitars, Dayton’s grounded Texas baritone’s miles from Gordon Lightfoot’s flannel warmth, but his insightful reading of “If You Could Read My Mind” erases genre borders; it’s all delivered from an honest place. At Love Song Bar in Downtown LA Tuesday, Aug. 13. Jessedayton.com

Music starts at 7 p.m. Sunday at Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena. Tickets are $20. Call (626) 798-6236 or visit coffeegallery.com.

Step Right Up!

CIRCUS VARGAS CELEBRATES ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A NEW STATE OF THE ART BIG TOP

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

Old-fashioned circus fans are invited to step right up to a brand-new state of the art Big Top tent Tuesday through Sunday, Aug. 18 when the esteemed Circus Vargas brings its legendary family-friendly shows to Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.

The new, innovative venue boasts over 11, 000 square feet in area with top of the line amphitheater-style seating and more than 1,000 spectator seats.

Designed and built in Italy by world-renowned chapiteau manufacturer Canobbio Textile Engineering, the entire Circus Vargas project took well over two years to create and arrives in time for the circus’ 50th anniversary. Construction on the massive structure had to be configured precisely to Vargas’ needs and specifications. With months of planning, preparation and engineering the intricate puzzle, of poles, stakes, rope cables and fabric, was tailored precisely and deliberately with safety as well as esthetics in mind.

“We wanted it to be beautiful as well as functional,” says Katya 24 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.08.19

Quiroga, who co-owns and produces Circus Vargas with her husband, Nelson. “Our first priority, of course, is that the structure be safe during our visit in the community, but we also wanted it to be visually appealing and still be able to be assembled, disassembled and moved easily and efficiently. This is where the emphasis on modernization and technology comes to play. Imagine building a house tearing it down, moving it and then rebuilding it continuously, 11 months out of the year. It’s really tremendous when you think about it!”

Circus Vargas offers audiences two unforgettable hours of nonstop action and adventure, offering old-time circus fun, including death-defying acrobats, daredevils, aerialists and jugglers, as well as contortionists, clowns and motorcycle stunt drivers — while keeping the show animal-free. Attendees are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes early for an interactive pre-show celebration, where kids can create their own magic under the big top by learning circus skills including juggling and balancing. Audiences are also invited to meet and mingle with the entire cast

after each performance.

“There is no doubt that this was the culmination of a tremendous amount of time and hard work”, states Nelson Quiroga. “You can’t click a few buttons online and order it to be delivered. This was a labor of love.”

“Yes, this was a very challenging and bittersweet process,” agrees Katya. “It’s sad to have to say goodbye to our previous big top, but it had taken a beating over the last decade. Years of traveling, mantling and dismantling had taken its toll. We have made amazing memories and had presented incredible productions in that old friend of ours, but we are so excited and know that there are new adventures and new memories to come! We have a new show, and now a beautiful new venue!” n Circus Vargas will perform Tuesday through next Sunday, Aug. 18 at Santa Anita Park, 285 Huntington Drive, Arcadia. Tickets are $19.75 to $46. Call (877) 468-3861 (GOTFUN-1) or visit showclix.com/events/18207.

Triple Treat

THREE NEW MOVIES OFFER A REFRESHINGLY HUMAN ALTERNATIVE TO A SUMMER OF BOMBAST

mid a summer of bombastic blockbusters and reboot retreads, it’s hard to find truly human and original stories in movie theaters. But this weekend brings a trio of solid films that will move and inspire anyone who sees them.

The first and widest release is “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” based on the acclaimed best-selling novel by Garth Stein.

The film follows a race car driver named Denny (Milo Ventimiglia, of NBC’s hit “This Is Us”) and the impact a golden retriever named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner as the narrator) has on his life over the course of a dozen years.

It might be easy to dismiss this as a kiddie flick at first glance, following other similar films with talking dogs, like “A Dog’s Purpose,” but “Racing” covers surprisingly heavy emotional terrain.

Denny’s wife battles brain cancer, he has to fight for custody of their young daughter against her parents, and Enzo himself faces some potentially tragic moments.

Through it all, Costner’s voice gives the film incredible gravitas and makes it a moving experience that is innocent enough for kids and families to see together, yet played at an intelligence level that is more for adults.

Director Simon Curtis, who has previously directed arty British dramas (“Woman in Gold,” “My Week With Marilyn”), gives the movie a sense of sadness throughout, shot through with an underlying optimism that pays off at key moments. The movie offers life lessons imparted by Enzo, using racing principles he learns from observing Denny, a technique unique enough to stick in your brain.

Ventimiglia is mining the same territory as his multiEmmy-nominated role on NBC’s family drama “This Is Us,” and fans of that program won’t be disappointed as they’ll find plenty of tears here as well. “Art” is a real gem in the dog days of summer.

While “Art” delivers the goods in the context of a straightforward tearjerker, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” is one of the most gonzo original movies to come along in a while. The film marks the welcome and overdue comeback of former star

Milo Ventimiglia in The Art of Racing in the Rain

Zack Gottsagen and Shia LaBeouf in The Peanut Butter Falcon 28 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.08.19

Shia LaBeouf after years of alcohol-driven meltdowns, and he makes the most of it.

The film actually is the story of a twentysomething man with Down syndrome named Zak (Zack Gottsagen), who has been forced to live in a senior citizen assisted living center for over two years after his immediate family died.

He wants out, yearning not only for freedom but hoping to study pro wrestling at his favorite TV wrestler Saltwater Redneck’s (Thomas Haden Church) wrestling school.

After making an audacious and hilarious escape in the middle of the night in his underwear, Zak hides out on a small fishing boat. The next morning, a rogue fisherman named Tyler (LaBeouf) sets fire to his enemies’ fishing equipment and flees their wrath down the river, unaware that Zak’s aboard.

Soon, a social worker from the assisted living center named Eleanor (Dakota Johnson in a lovely performance) is sent to retrieve Zak or lose her job. When she catches up to the improbable duo, she realizes that the freedom Zak is enjoying is what’s best for him. When the boat gets destroyed by Tyler’s enemies, the threesome decides to float the rest of the way to the wrestling school on a Huck Finn-style raft.

What happens upon their arrival is touching, funny and wholly unexpected, as writer-directors Tyler Nilson and Mike Schwartz take the movie into territory that’s both rousing and surreal. While “Falcon” occasionally feels a

bit too ramshackle along its lead characters’ journey, it still arrives at a destination that’s more than satisfying.

Lastly, the true-life drama “Brian Banks”offers the return of superstar comedy director Tom Shadyac after 13 years, in a film that’s vastly different than his long slate of Jim Carrey comedies and Eddie Murphy’s “The Nutty Professor.” It follows the story of its title figure, a high school football star in Long Beach who was on track to play at USC and eventually in the NFL until he was falsely accused of rape by a female classmate.

The movie shows the sad and incredible damage caused

by Banks (Aldis Hodge) being misled into a no-contest plea deal by his public defender. But the tenacious athlete never gave up on his dream of clearing his name and making the NFL a decade late, and the movie shows how he improbably pulled that off with the help of attorney Justin Brooks (Greg Kinnear) and the California Innocence Project.

Hodge and Kinnear are both terrific in the lead roles, as the sharp screenplay by Doug Atchison ties together relatable emotional drama with a series of surprising twists en route to their goal. Real-life “Rocky” type stories are always a welcome cinematic experience and this one is not only engaging but important. n

Zoning Code Amendments to Update Inclusionary Housing Requirements and Establish an Affordable Housing Concession Menu; Amending the Schedule of Taxes, Fees, and Charges to Increase Inclusionary Housing InLieu Fee Rates SUBJECT: In order to encourage the development of more affordable housing and incentivize projects that are more in line with the character of existing neighborhoods, the Planning and Community Development Department is proposing Zoning Code Amendments to make various changes to the City’s inclusionary housing requirements, including changes to the percentage of inclusionary units required and eliminating trade downs of affordable inclusionary units. Additionally, the Department is proposing a Zoning Code Amendment to the City’s density bonus provisions establishing a menu of affordable housing concessions that would qualify for streamlined review for density bonus projects that meet certain criteria. Finally, amendments are proposed to the Schedule of Taxes, Fees, and Charges to increase the inclusionary housing in-lieu fee rates.

The City Council will conduct a public hearing and consider all of the proposed amendments.

PROJECT LOCATION: All properties on which multi-family residential or mixed-use projects are an allowed use throughout the City of Pasadena.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council will consider whether adoption of the proposed Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15305 (Class 5 Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) and whether there are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt class, resulting in no unusual circumstances. Section 15305 allows minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density.

Planning Commission Recommendation: On May 8, June 26, and July 24, 2019, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Code Amendments and recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments as modified.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will hold a public hearing to receive testimony, oral and written, on the proposed amendments to update inclusionary housing requirements for multi-family residential projects, establish an affordable housing concession menu for density bonus projects, and increase the inclusionary in-lieu fee rates. The hearing is scheduled for: Date: Monday, August 19, 2019 Time: 7:00 p.m.

Place: City Hall Council Chamber, Room S249 100 North Garfield Avenue PUBLIC INFORMATION: Any interested party or their representative may appear at the meeting and comment on the project. If you wish to challenge this matter in court you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or written correspondence delivered to the hearing body, at or prior to the public hearing.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee

auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
