Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg doesn’t downplay or play up the fact that he’s openly gay. There’s no need to. He’s already shown that he can mount a coherent, sustained and compelling presidential campaign and candidacy, one so compelling that he’s now the frontrunner in the Iowa Democratic primary.

But Mayor Pete had to get the pesky issue of being an openly gay presidential candidate off the table. He did that by announcing it and then surging to near the top of the Democratic presidential heap. Along the way, he has grabbed tens of millions in Democratic donor cash. Most polls show an epiphany of sorts on the part of most Americans on whether they can see themselves voting for an openly gay candidate for president. The majority say they’re “not uncomfortable” with that.

This doesn’t mean that this is now a total non-issue. Politics and polls have shown that what people tell pollsters about a presidential candidate’s race, gender or sexual preference is one thing, and what they do in the privacy of the voting booth is another.

The question is will voters disregard an openly gay candidate when they step behind the voting booth curtain?

There’s little doubt that any new social enlightenment on gays stops dead in its tracks with conservative evangelicals. There’s also much evidence that while older voters have shed their worst fears of an openly gay presidential candidate, there are still plenty who have not. The brutal political reality is that they vote in far greater proportions than the group that’s the most enlightened and accepting of one’s sexual preference — millennials.

Mayor Pete is not naïve and realizes that being gay has some potential downside in crucial presidential vote states. But it’s likely no longer the deal breaker for him that it would have been in times past.

What he’s done is carve out a position as a younger and more

forceful alternative to Joe Biden with centrists, and a counter candidate to the leftist positions of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders on the bigticket issues, most importantly health care. Warren and Sanders have gone to the wall on Medicare, but polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans are terrified at the thought that they’ll be taxed more to pay for it and lose their private health insurance choice in the process.

Trump and the GOP will have a field day with this during the general election campaign, scaring moderate

and centrist voters.

Buttigieg has made sure people know that he, like Biden, is the pragmatist on this issue by simply advocating a public option be included in the Affordable Care Act. Buttigieg has bought some more insurance against any voter ambush on his sexual preference by tackling the issue of police violence against blacks.

He’s proposed a plan to bring racial justice to policing.

This plopped him on the radar of many black voters who know little to nothing about him. He’ll have to peel off a percentage of their vote to be a top ranking candidate in the South and other states where the black vote is crucial to any Democratic presidential candidate’s fortune.

Buttigieg will have to hope that his out front stance on police abuse will counter the lingering anti-gay bias among some segments of black religious evangelicals. Past polls have shown that they have been among the loudest in professing anti-gay attitudes.

How much that has changed will be tested by Mayor Pete as the Democratic presidential nominee.

For now, Buttigieg is not viewed publicly as a gay candidate for president, but as a Democratic presidential candidate, and that’s a giant step forward.

•CONSIDER THIS•

BY ELLEN SNORTLAND

GRATITUDE, GRACE AND GRIEF PRACTICES FOR THANKSGIVING IN THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS Gratitude. Grace. Grief. These feelings are my spiritual “stuffing” as I celebrate Thanksgiving.

I’m filled with gratitude when I think of my ancestors and what they went through to get here, to the United States of America. My paternal grandfather, Torres Sigurd Snortland, came through Ellis Island when he was 10 and ended up in North Dakota. Why didn’t he keep going westward? Torres, did you really have to settle in the state with the same polar weather conditions found in Norway, our Mother country?

Short answer: yes. Immigrants almost always settle where relatives and their linguistic community have already broken ground. In the prairies, I mean broken ground literally and also figuratively, which I’ll get to later. (A great read about Northern Plains settlement is “On the Origin of Tepees: The Evolution of Ideas and Ourselves” by Jonnie Hughes.)

Climate regrets aside, soon after settling in America, Grandpa Thom — Torres is Norwegian for “Thomas” — married Aline Vig when she was 16. Aline was born in a sod and log house on a homestead. Much older Thom and Aline started their arranged marriage around what is now called Devil’s Lake, North Dakota. One of our relatives had a trading post at Devil’s Lake, with the local Native Americans bringing in beaded and quilled handcrafts to simply survive.

This is where the grief and broken ground part comes in, as my family lived on the ground of broken hearts. The bison herds were virtually destroyed by 1885, herds that had once numbered in the millions on the upper plains. The bison sustained the lives of various nations of Lakota around Devil’s Lake, specifically Sisseton-Wahpeton, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, and Spirit Lake Nation.

The bison massacre was a deliberate genocidal move on the part of the government to rid the burgeoning white populations of “savages.”

I so wish I’d paid more attention when Grandma Aline was alive. You know those “savages” the white folks were so eager to annihilate? Listen to just how intensely savage a friend of my Grandma Aline’s was. I wish I’d asked Aline her name; I will posthumously name her “Kindness” for this piece.

Grandma noticed that every time Kindness visited, something tiny would go missing; a burned match; a small sliver of soap; a button; a pin. Why, why, why was Kindness stealing these insignificant items that Aline would have happily given her? It was stunning to Aline, and she couldn’t figure it out. The items had no value whatsoever.

Aline finally worked up the courage and asked Kindness why she had taken these things.

“It is our custom that whenever someone comes to visit, we send them home with a gift,” Kindness said. “I’m afraid for your spirit if you do not give me a gift when I visit, so I take these things so you will stay well.”

Grandma Aline never forgot Kindness’s help and from then on was very careful to give every visitor a gift, indigenous or not.

Every Thanksgiving, I give thanks to my Native American ancestors who literally died because we stole their lives and the precious herds of bison in wanton greed and land grabs. My Norwegian forebears didn’t consider homesteading outright theft, of course, because it was sanctioned via the Homestead Act for goodness sake! I think if they’d thought it through in the context of today, they would have returned to Norway… or at least I like to think they would have.

I owe my very life and well-being to the First Nations People. There’s no way I can adequately repay them other than to promise I will always include Native Americans in my art and grieve their losses that were my gains until the day I die. The pilgrims and “Indians” myth? A cover-up story to assuage guilt over a continent-wide tragedy. I keep Native Americans in my heart because so many showed undeserved kindness to us.

One last thought: this Thanksgiving, at the very least research whose land you’re on as you sit around the table with your loved ones. For example, if you’re reading this in the San Gabriel Valley, thank the Tongva. Happy Thanksgiving. ■ Ellen has written Consider This… for a very long time!

T

he Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education has voted to wait until next year to place an $850 million bond measure on the ballot.

Board members agreed to place the bond measure on the Nov. 3 ballot, when high voter turnout is expected.

In order to qualify for that election, which will also allow voters to choose school board candidates running for office or re-election, the measure must be prepared by August.

“It’s bad timing for this ask,” said School Board member Michelle Richardson Bailey. “While I agree that more funding is needed for the upkeep of our facilities, I believe March 3 is too soon to put a measure on the ballot so soon after Measure J.” Measure J was a companion initiative to Measure I, a threequarter-cent sales tax increase which was passed by voters in the last election.

Measure J allows the city to use proceeds of the tax hike, up to $7 million, to help fund local schools. So far, the money is being used to replenish the district’s state-mandated reserve fund.

Money from a bond measure could only be used for construction and upgrades of district facilities. The money cannot be used to pay salaries.

PASADENA V. JOMSKY & LOGAN CITY CLERK AND COUNTY REGISTRAR OF VOTERS SERVE AS FIGUREHEAD DEFENDANTS IN COUNCIL CANNABIS LAWSUIT

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

I

f you thought Pasadena’s cannabis situation couldn’t get any crazier, you were wrong.

In an unusual development, most of the City Council and Mayor Terry Tornek have fi led a lawsuit against City Clerk Mark Jomsky and Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters Dennis Logan to get a cannabis initiative removed from the March 3 ballot which would allow previously deemed nuisance operators to do business as usual with impunity.

According to City Attorney Michele Beal Bagneris, neither Jomsky nor Logan are the true targets of the lawsuit.

“The city clerk and the county registrar of voters are not accused of any wrongdoing and are named in the lawsuit only as a technical procedural matter,” Bagneris said, adding, “any ruling from the court ordering the initiative to be removed from the ballot would have to be directed towards them. The proponents of the initiative, who are being sued as the real parties of interest, are the parties who will have to defend the validity of the initiative.”

As city clerk, Jomsky is responsible for forwarding ballot information to the country registrar, who oversees the county’s election process.

According to the lawsuit, the real parties of interest are George Bernales, Susan Gomez and Alan Jay, the trio listed as the proponents of the ballot measure, which is called the “Initiative to Allow Operation of Cannabis Businesses That Previously Operated Illegally, In Violation of the Pasadena Municipal Code.”

The initiative allows any cannabis operator that operated in 2018 without being criminally convicted to operate without obtaining a permit from the city.

However, according to the lawsuit, initiatives can only be legislative by nature and the city’s permit process is an administrative process, making the initiative unconstitutional.

“By effectively compelling the issuance of an operating permit to the non-complying cannabis dispensaries and granting them exemptions from the conditional use restrictions set forth in the city’s zoning laws regarding the permissible locations for such businesses, the initiative purports to mandate administrative or adjudicative actions that would normally be performed by city staff and its Planning Commission, and it is thus beyond the electorate’s legislative power of initiative,” the lawsuit states.

Last year, the City Council banned socalled nuisance dispensaries from applying for business licenses under the city’s cannabis 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 11.28.19

law. Voters passed Measure CC, the city’s highly regulated process which allows only one dispensary to operate in each council district, and mandates that dispensaries must adhere to strict distance limits from schools, libraries and churches.

However, the city’s own process has become murky. Several dispensaries that were denied conditional use permits have fi led lawsuits against the city. City Manager Steve Mermell has proposed the city’s ordinance be amended to allow three dispensaries in each district, but the changes do not allow for more than six dispensaries in the city.

But if the citizens’ initiative passes at the ballot box, an additional 18 cannabis retailers would be allowed to legally operate in Pasadena, and at locations other than those approved by the voters when Measure CC was passed.

According to the lawsuit, 18 businesses would benefit if the law passes.

Rose Buds, Benjamin’s 30, 419 Collective, Pasadena Medical, NuRemedy, Church of Walnut, Good Life, M.V. Health Solutions, Golden State, Flavortown, Green Love, Bloom Pasadena, Revo, Green Star Dispensary, Urban Farms, Pasadena Cannabis, Undefeated 25 and House of CBD have been previously cited by the city for operating illegal cannabis dispensaries.

Fourteen have been shut down, while four continue to operate illegally. Operators at three of those businesses have been charged criminally, but have not been convicted.

If the initiative passes, they could not be shut down even if they become a public nuisance, according to the initiative.

“Non-offending commercial cannabis businesses may continue engaging in commercial cannabis activity within the city of Pasadena without a commercial cannabis permit from the city of Pasadena until Dec. 31, 2024,” according to the initiative. “Non-offending commercial cannabis businesses operating without a permit pursuant to this subdivision shall not be deemed, ordered discontinued, modified, or removed as a public nuisance pursuant to the Pasadena Municipal Code based solely on their engagement in commercial cannabis activities permitted by this Chapter.

Owners of non-offending commercial cannabis businesses operating without a permit pursuant to this subdivision may apply for a commercial cannabis permit from the city of Pasadena at any time. After Dec. 31, 2024, all commercial cannabis businesses may operate only after such businesses apply for and receive a commercial cannabis permit pursuant to this Chapter.” ■

“This is really troubling,” said Board of Education President Lawrence Torres, “but we are just not ready yet.”

“As of now, 91 percent of PUSD schools were built 50 years ago or more,” said Chief Facilities Officer Nelson Cayabyab. “We still have the same electrical system. We still have the same asbestos ceilings. You can’t teach 21st-century learning if asbestos tile is falling on top of your head. We have to turn the culture around so the facilities stay ahead of all of the great programs you need to bring onboard.”

Local residents derided the board for failing to reach out to parents and local residents on the bond measure.

“It’s gargantuan,” Ross Selvidge, a former Pasadena City College Trustee, said of the proposed bond and the taxes it would impose on district residents living in Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre. “You have already spent $650 million of Measure Y and Measure TT. Voters are not guaranteed what projects would be built and when they’ll be built.”

According to Selvidge, the $850 million bond would be the biggest property tax increase in the history of Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre, amounting to a 5 to 6 percent property tax increase across the board for every parcel in the school district.

“The quickly thrown together projects in the staff report reflects no community input and attempts no prioritization of the most necessary projects,” said Laura Olhasso, government affairs director for the Pasadena-Foothills Association of Realtors.

If the bond measure were to pass, it would bring in about $212 million every three years for the district until 2029, according to a presentation by Cayabyab. Local Pasadena property owners would pay for the bond until 2052.

Local taxpayers are still paying for the $350 million Measure TT, which won’t be off the books until 2037. The debt on the $240 million Measure Y, which passed in 1997, has been paid.

Some of the money from those projects went to infrastructure projects at schools that were recently shuttered by the district due to low enrollment, which concerns some local residents about the district’s plans.

“The PUSD has two bond issues already for school repair,” said Altadena resident Steve Lamb. “We were told each of them would be all the money needed for 30 years. They are closing schools they have rehabbed for tens of millions of dollars.

They can’t be relied upon to thoughtfully plan out building maintenance and use.”

A 2010 parcel tax effort that would have applied a $120 yearly tax to 59,000 parcels in the school district failed. Money from a parcel tax can go into the district’s general fund, but it takes a super majority of voters — 65 percent — to pass a parcel tax. It only takes 55 percent to pass a bond measure.

According to a recent survey conducted by Los Angeles-based FM3 Research for PUSD, 70 percent of those polled said they believe there is a need for additional funding of public schools, with nearly half of those people calling the need “great.”

Between July 30 and Aug. 5, 1,008 “likely voters” were surveyed online, and by landline phones and cell phones.

“I believe district leadership gets it that on issues like this community inclusion is necessary and community advocacy should be an integral part of the district’s culture,” said Richardson Bailey.

A property tax increase could drive more struggling families with school-age children out of the district causing a greater loss in funds, which are based on student daily attendance.

The district has been forced to close schools, cut programs and lay off teaches due to declining enrollment as parents move east, where housing is more affordable.

The PUSD has lost 1,170 students over the past five years.

The district makes about $10,000 per student in average daily attendance funds from the state.

“Everything the district has done for 20 years is counterproductive to maintaining or increasing enrollment.

Raising the cost of housing only makes the area more difficult for young families,” Lamb said. “Then leasing those rehabilitated facilities to charter schools instead of reducing class size and increasing quality only accelerates the district’s death cycle.” ■

No Thank You HISTORY PROFESSOR EXPLAINS WHY THE MYTH OF THE FIRST THANKSGIVING IS A PROP FOR WHITE NATIONALISM

M

BY DAVID J. SILVERMAN

ost Americans assume that the Thanksgiving holiday has always been associated with the Pilgrims, Indians and their famous feast. Yet that connection is barely 150 years old and is the result of white Protestant New Englanders asserting their cultural authority over an increasingly diverse country.

Since then, the Thanksgiving myth has served to reinforce white Christian dominance in the United States. It is well past time to dispense with the myth and its white nationalist connotations.

Throughout the Colonial era, Thanksgiving had no association whatsoever with Pilgrims and Indians. It was a regional holiday, observed only in the New England states or in the Midwestern areas to which New Englanders had migrated. No one thought of the event as originating from a poorly documented 1621

feast shared by the English Colonists of Plymouth and neighboring Wampanoag Indians. Ironically, Thanksgiving celebrations had emerged out of the English Puritan practice of holding fast days of prayer to mark some special mercy or judgment from God, after which the community would break bread. Over the generations, these days of Thanksgiving began to take place annually instead of episodically and the fasting became less strictly observed.

The modern character of the holiday only began to emerge during the mid to late 1800s. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared that the last Thursday of November should be held as a national day of Thanksgiving to foster unity amid the horrors of the Civil War. Afterward, it became a tradition, with some modifications to the date, and spread to the South too. Around the same time, Americans began to trace the holiday back to Pilgrims and Indians. The start of CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

NO THANK YOU

this trend appears to have been the Rev. Alexander Young’s 1841 publication of the “Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers,” which contained the only primary source account of the great meal, consisting of a mere four lines. To it, Young added a footnote stating that “This was the fi rst Thanksgiving, the harvest festival of New England.” Over the next 50 years, various New England authors, artists and lecturers disseminated Young’s idea until Americans took it for granted. Surely, few footnotes in history have been so influential.

For the rest of the nation to go along with New England’s idea that a dinner between Pilgrims and Indians was the template for a national holiday, the United States fi rst had to fi nish its subjugation of the tribes of the Great Plains and far West. Only then could its people stop vilifying Indians as bloodthirsty savages and give them an unthreatening role in a national founding myth. The Pilgrim saga also had utility in the nation’s culture wars. It was no coincidence that authorities began trumpeting the Pilgrims as national founders amid widespread anxiety that the country was being overrun by Catholic and then Jewish immigrants unappreciative of America’s Protestant, democratic origins and values.

Depicting the Pilgrims as the epitome of Colonial America also served to minimize the country’s longstanding history of racial oppression at a time when Jim Crow was working to return blacks in the South to as close to a state of slavery as possible and racial segregation was becoming the norm nearly everywhere else. Focusing on the Pilgrims’ noble religious and democratic principles in treatments of Colonial history, instead of on the shameful Indian wars and systems of slavery more typical of the Colonies, enabled whites to think of the so-called black and Indian problems as Southern and Western exceptions to an otherwise inspiring national heritage.

Americans tend to view the Thanksgiving myth as harmless, but it is loaded with fraught ideological meaning. In it, the Indians of Cape Cod and the adjacent coast (rarely identified as Wampanoags) overcome their initial trepidation and prove to be “friendly” (requiring no explanation), led by the translators Samoset and Squanto (with no mention of how they learned English) and the chief, Massasoit. They feed the starving English and teach them how to plant corn and where to fish, whereupon the colony begins to thrive. The two parties then seal their friendship with the feast of the First Thanksgiving. The peace that follows permits Colonial New England and, by extension, modern America, to become seats of freedom, democracy, Christianity and plenty. As for what happens to the Indians next, this myth has nothing to say. The Indians’ legacy is to present America as a gift to others or, in other words, to concede to colonialism. Like Pocahontas and Sacajawea (the other most famous Indians of Early American history) they help the colonizers then move offstage. Literally.

Since the early 20th-century, American elementary schools have widely held annual Thanksgiving pageants in which students dress up as Pilgrims and Indians and re-enact this drama. I myself remember participating in such a pageant which closed with the song, “My Country Tis of Thee.” The fi rst verse of it goes: My country tis of thee/ Sweet land of liberty/ Of thee I sing./ Land where my fathers died!/ Land of the Pilgrim’s pride!/ From every mountain side,/ Let freedom ring!”

Having a diverse group of schoolchildren sing about the Pilgrims as “my fathers” was designed to teach them about who we, as Americans, are, or at least who we’re supposed to be. Even students from ethnic backgrounds would be instilled with the principles of representative government, liberty and Christianity, while learning to identify with English Colonists from 400 years ago as fellow whites. Leaving Indians out of the category of “my fathers” also carried important lessons. It was yet another reminder about which race ran the country and whose values mattered.

Lest we dismiss the impact of these messages, consider the experience of a young Wampanoag woman who told this author that when she was in grade school, the lone Indian in her class, her teacher cast her as Chief Massasoit in one of these pageants and had her sing with her classmates “This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land.” At the time, she was just embarrassed. As an adult, she sees the cruel irony in it. Other Wampanoags commonly tell of their parents objecting to these pageants and associated history lessons that the New England Indians were all gone, only to have school officials respond with puzzlement at their claims to be Indian. The only authentic Indians were supposed to be primitive relics, not modern, so what were they doing in school, speaking English, wearing contemporary clothing, and returning home to adults who had jobs and drove cars?

Even today, the Thanksgiving myth is one of the few cameos Native people make in many schools’ curriculum. Most history lessons still pay little to no

heed to the civilizations Native Americans had created over thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans or how indigenous people have suffered under and resisted colonization. Even less common is any treatment of how they have managed to survive, adapt, and become part of modern society while maintaining their Indian identities and defending their indigenous rights. Units on American government almost never address the sovereignty of Indian tribes as a basic feature of American federalism, or ratified Indian treaties as “the supreme law of the land” under the Constitution. Native people certainly bear the brunt of this neglect, ignorance and racial hostility, but the rest of the country suffers in its own ways too.

The current American struggle with white nationalism is not just a moment in time. It is the product of centuries of political, social, cultural and economic developments that have convinced a critical mass of white Christians that the country has always belonged to them and always should. The myth of Thanksgiving is one of the many buttresses of that ideology. That myth is not about who we were but how past generations wanted us to be. It is not true. The truth exposes the Thanksgiving myth as a myth rather than history. So let us declare it dead except as a subject for the study of 19th- and 20th-century American cultural history. What we replace it with will tell future Americans about how we envision ourselves and the path of our society. ■ David J.

The Cost of Food

SUPERMARKET PRICE TAGS DON’T REVEAL THE TRUE COST OF GROWING AND PRODUCING FOOD, LOCAL FARMERS AND FOOD ARTISANS SAY

BY BLISS BOWEN

A

recently published annual survey conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation determined that the average cost in 2019 of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for 10 was $48.91, a one-cent increase over 2018.

Unsurprisingly, that inspired a small wave of news briefs reassuring readers that holiday dinners are still affordable, which is welcome news for consumers preparing to shop for more holiday meals in December.

But the AFBF survey spurs questions regarding cost vs. value, and sourcing. (Where are they shopping? Was that turkey pasture- or barn-raised?) Feeding 10 people for $48.91 translates into spending less than $5 per person for a dinner with a 16-pound turkey, 14 ounces of cubed stuffi ng, three pounds of sweet potatoes, 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, one pound of green peas, a one-pound carrot-and-celery tray, a dozen rolls with butter, 30 ounces of pumpkin pie mix, two premade pie shells, a half pint of whipped cream, and miscellaneous ingredients including coffee and milk. The price tag rose to $62.32 with a four-pound ham, five pounds of russet potatoes and one pound of green beans added to the menu.

Anaïs Dervaes of Urban Homestead questions whether those numbers could be considered “the true cost of food,” and assumes that food was subsidized because “there are a lot of subsidies going into Big Agriculture.”

Farm to Table The Dervaes family has independently owned and operated Urban Homestead on one-tenth of an acre in Pasadena since

14 PASADENA WEEKLY | 11.28.19

1985; the busy urban farm sells produce, eggs, preserves and honey to local businesses and residents through its Front Porch Farmstand. But most people don’t really understand how food gets from farm to table or how much it costs in water, labor and (even organic) fertilizer, Dervaes says; mass production and imports plus 24/7 grocery stores “devaluate the true cost of food.”

Per the US Agriculture Department’s Economic Research Service, only eight cents of each dollar spent by consumers on food goes to the farmers who raised it. That is disturbing, and important to keep in mind when considering the AFBF survey’s implication that most Americans buy food at chain stores supplied by corporate agricultural operations, rather than from local farmers who could supply fresher food at a higher upfront cost.

The price of retail turkey is the lowest it’s been since 2010; the average cost for a 16-pound turkey was $20.80, 4 percent less than last year.

mushroom gravy, and cranberry orange sauce) could be ordered for $69.99.

“If we actually put the true cost of food in terms of fossil fuel and labor, it would be way more,” Dervaes contends. “But you can go to a fast food place and get a meal for a couple cents, and then people will turn their noses up at potatoes or whole apples at a price because that’s ‘too expensive.’ There’s manipulation of the consumer’s mind of what is actually cheap.

“I have an afterschool farm-to-table program with the kids, and we bought mac & cheese from a box, and then we made mac & cheese from scratch. When we broke down the numbers [they cost] within a couple cents [of each other], but the box’s marketing and convenience trick our minds into thinking it’s cheaper.”

'Finding That Balance' Mac & cheese is even more popular as a holiday side dish for Americans than gravy, corn, and apple pie, according to the AFBF. A pound-size bag of macaroni (or rigatoni or fusilli) at Trader Joe’s costs 99 cents, maybe twice that for a betterknown brand at Von’s or Stater Brothers.

“What I really wish people understood is how many things in the quality and flavor and farming need to be sacrificed to get that 99 cent bag of pasta, because that also has to be part of a budget for a conglomerate that pays crazy slotting fees for their shelf space,” says Leah Ferrazzani, owner of Semolina Pasta on Lincoln Avenue in Pasadena.

“So little of that product that you’re eating has anything to do with the quality of the grain that goes into it, or the way that it’s produced; it’s about cheap calories and nothing else.”

Visiting spaces where food is made — whether at a farm or in a shop — helps develop trust between food provider and consumer, and small businesses such as Ferrazzani’s offer a closer view of the real cost of food. Ferrazzani makes roughtextured pasta in small batches from organic semolina flour using bronze dies, which she then dries slowly for 20 hours (in contrast to the five-hour process employed by many commercial companies that denatures pasta’s proteins).

Superior nutritional quality and flavor are among the reasons she charges $7.99 per one-pound bag for her pasta. Another is that as a small business owner in a state with a higher minimum wage, her overhead includes higher labor and workers comp costs. (“I pay at the same rate as a company that has a machine you could fall into.”)

Dervaes suggests that greater demand for locally grown produce in restaurants and stores could drive down prices. “We just have to be conscious of what we consume,” she says, pointing out that while her family’s farm can’t compete with Costco or Sprouts it’s within farmers’ market prices. “When I grew up, it was hard to get organic food; now, Costco and even Target carries it. If we can make it more of a mainstream market, then the prices go down. It’s about fi nding that balance.

It’s hard for small farmers to do that; so much produce comes from far away.”

Defining Success According to an AFBF poll conducted earlier this month, three out of four adults are interested in learning more about how their food is produced; one in three Millennial and Gen X adults are “very interested.” That is heartening for farmers and food artisans struggling to factor their supportive value to the community into their overall business equation. As it stands now, Ferrazzani notes, “the world of food is so disconnected from food.”

“My growth plan isn’t just me getting bigger so I can make more money,” Ferrazzani says. “It’s me getting bigger so I can make a bigger impact on the environment by purchasing grain from farmers who are practicing rotational farming, which then sequesters carbon out of the atmosphere, makes healthier soil, requires fewer inputs overall, and makes the air less toxic. … I like that a mom who has a kid with a really bad peanut allergy can come in and see for herself that the only thing I put on my machines is pasta and there’s no chance for cross-contamination in that regard, because it’s just flour and water. That’s farther than just making something that tastes good, but I think that trust and security in our food system is something that we’re all longing for.”

BUILDING A COALITION Local League of Women Voters hosts forum on Schools and Communities First 2020 ballot measure

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER

Helen Hutchison

The state League of Women Voters — along with dozens of other organizations, and local and state officials — believes schools and safety services have suffered long enough.

After more than four decades since Proposition 13 passed, league officials believe it’s time for large corporations to pay their fair share— an estimated $12 billion a year — by amending the popular anti-property tax initiative of 1978.

A campaign to qualify a ballot measure for the November 2020 election to close loopholes that big businesses and wealthy investors enjoy on commercial property will be the topic of a free public forum at 9:45 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, hosted by the League of Women Voters Pasadena Area.

The forum will be held at the Women’s City Club of Pasadena, 160 N. Oakland Ave. Helen Hutchison, immediate past president of the state League, will give the background and details of the Schools and Communities First ballot measure, which proponents say will level the playing field for small businesses that already pay their fair share and provide tax incentives to spur new investment in small businesses while protecting residential interests.

The initiative is sponsored by the group School & Communities First, a coalition of dozens of organizations and elected representatives from around California, among them the Pasadena Unified School District.

A session on advocacy and signature-gathering will follow the presentation.

An optional breakfast for $25 served at 9 a.m. is available by reservation.

The deadline is Dec. 3. For reservations and information, call (626) 798-0965,write office@lwv-pa.org or visit lwv-pa.org.

GIFTS FROM THE HEART Stoney Point hosts 2nd annual Ron Snyder Holiday Toy Drive The 2nd Annual Ron Snyder Holiday Toy Drive for the Union Station Homeless Family Center will be held Saturday, Dec. 14, at Stoney Point Restaurant in Pasadena.

Bring to the event a new, unwrapped toy for kids up to age 17, wrapping paper, gift cards, tags and your favorite holiday song.

Snyder, who died of pancreatic cancer, was an award-winning pianist, teacher, accompanist and musical director. He was in constant demand to play for and musically direct cabaret and theater productions in Los Angeles and cities across the country.

A member of the music department faculty at Santa Monica College, Snyder was a beloved pianist at Stoney Point. Singers would come from near and far to have him play for them on Saturday nights.

“He loved toys and hosting this event for the homeless children and families,” reads a statement issued on the event. “And we will keep his tradition alive.”

Snyder musically directed female impersonator Jim Bailey at the London Palladium and in Las Vegas, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and around the South Pacific.

He also played for Ed Begley Jr.’s production of “Cesar and Ruben” at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. He was given a Dramalogue Award and an L.A. Weekly Award for best musical director for “The Ballad of Little Mike” and “Pinafore!” both performed at Celebration Theatre in Hollywood.

Hosted by singer Jackie Gibson and pianist Greg Glienna, the Stoney Point festivities begin at around 8 p.m.

To make reservations, which are strongly recommended, call (626) 449-9715.

Stoney Point Restaurant is located at 1460 W. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena. For more information, visit stoneypointrestaurant.com. ■

Dear Patti, I’m thrilled to say that I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl two months ago. Violet is my first child and my doctor suggested I enroll in an educational class for new mothers. Before having Violet my husband and I focused all our energies on our careers. I’ve been to the class on motherhood four times so far and it’s already clear that all of the moms attending know more about mothering than I do.

The class is based on “attachment theory.” The other mothers seem to understand and I’m embarrassed to ask questions that everyone will think are dumb. I’m mostly joking but not completely. There are discussions about babies and children getting emotionally damaged because their mothers aren’t nurturing enough. Before having Violet I never knew how deep a mother’s love could be but sometimes I still struggle with being affectionate. If you could explain the bare bones of attachment theory it might help me participate in the class and sort out my own concerns about becoming the best mother I can be.

— Sara Dear Sara, The fact that you are going to the class to become a better mother, that you are writing me to better understand and face your struggles with being affectionate, and that you are sincerely seeking to find the healthiest way to raise your baby girl means to me that you are taking your position as Violet’s mother seriously and thoughtfully, which will definitely benefit Violet in the long run.

If more questions come up in class and you still don’t feel comfortable speaking up in front of the other mothers, write your questions down and ask your instructor after class.

It’s fine that you are reticent in front of others at first; this is all new to you. Just make sure that you don’t let that interfere with your ultimate goal: how to be the best mother you can be for Violet. If your concerns continue I recommend professional counseling to explore where these continued fears are coming from. Possibly your own childhood?

In the 1930s, John Bowlby, an English psychiatrist, worked with emotionally disturbed children and wanted to better understand how the emotional temperaments of young children developed. By 1958 he developed attachment theory, a structure for understanding the interpersonal relationships between children and their parents (or primary caretakers).

Prior to Bowlby’s work, the prevailing belief was that an infant’s responses and development were related to biologically determined drives rather than to real-life events with their parents. Bowlby believed healthy attachments toward self and others shaped relationships in the future depending on the interaction between the child and the parents. He theorized that a child’s affection needs were primary and fulfilling the needs of hunger and physical comfort were not sufficient to foster a child’s healthy attachment toward others. Attachment theory has since become one of the predominant approaches for understanding early childhood social development.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that children who form a secure attachment with their parents early in life have better outcomes in all aspects of functioning throughout their various development stages. These children have deep beliefs instilled inside them that the world is safe; that their caregivers are dependable and trustworthy; and that they are wanted, competent, and lovable. Children who are abandoned, ignored, or otherwise traumatized end up with compromised attachments and may believe the opposite — that the world is unsafe; their parents are not dependable and trustworthy; and that they are unwanted, incompetent, and unlovable.

According to this theory, the early social interactions Violet has with you and your husband will majorly influence the formation of her ability to be positive and secure about her future relationships, her emotional affect, and her behaviors and expectations. This personality system will continue to develop as she grows and matures. According to Bowlby, if you stay sensitive, responsive, and nurturing and willingly and competently provide her with consistent and loving care, she will attach positively to you, herself, and the world. Her social skills and beliefs about others will greatly benefit.

No mother or father is perfect. If Violet is nurtured most of the time, she will be more resilient when negative experiences do occur, for your positive care will instill in her the ability to self-soothe. At first this theory might make you concerned by the responsibility that it puts on you as parents, but attachment theory shows that your love toward Violet can have a strong, positive, and lasting effect. ■ 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.

ALL THINGS CHRISTMAS THE AUDIENCE JOINS IN THE FUN OF ‘EVERY CHRISTMAS STORY EVER TOLD (AND THEN SOME!)’ AT SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE

BY BLISS BOWEN

PHOTO: John Dlugolecki

C

harles Dickens’ 1843 novella “A Christmas Carol” is so internationally familiar that his miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is enshrined somewhere between Santa Claus and Dr. Seuss’ Christmas-stealing Grinch in the pantheon of holiday characters we see every December. It’s hard to escape film and theatrical recreations of the Victorian tale.

But that’s just what three actors in the Sierra Madre Playhouse’s upcoming production of “Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)” strive to do. Written by Michael Carleton, Jim FitzGerald and John K. Alvarez, the family-friendly play presents three actors — Garrett Botts, Philip Rossi and Dale Sandlin — revolting against staging Dickens’ holiday perennial by attempting to perform every Christmas carol ever sung and every Christmas story ever told, with help from a colorful trove of props and costumes and pianist/musical director Sean Paxton, who is onstage with the actors during the 95-minute show.

“They do little sequences about how different countries celebrate Christmas, and some of the cartoons that came out — they do a little about almost everything that has to do with Christmas,” explains director Gary Lamb.

Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon’s 1897 letter to the New York Sun and the editor’s legendary response (“Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus”) finds its place in the action, as do the Peanuts, Dr. Seuss, Macy’s Day Parade floats, fruitcake, Swedish lutefisk, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” and many other Christmas standards. Lamb says they’ve been tweaking the 15-year-old play to incorporate contemporary references, and otherwise updating the script to create “a better, well-rounded evening.”

“I’ve taken stuff from the first act, put it into the second act, and added more of an improv feel to the beginning of the show with the cast chatting with the audience, and starting the second act with an improv game using the audience,” Lamb notes with a chuckle.

“It’s a very interactive piece in a lot of ways.”

A lot rides on the actors, who are onstage the entire time. The constant back-and-forth dialogue and scene-shifting require high energy and sharp timing.

“In a normal play you’ll have scenes that will have an ebb and flow, and … one person’s thought will become another person’s response. But this is a lot of very short sketches around disparate holiday stories, both legends and semi–modern stories, which sort of pick up and drop off, page to page. That can be really difficult to string together,” observes

Michigan-raised actor Rossi, who adds that the show feels like the “holiday version” of the Reduced Shakespeare Company’s ““The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged.”

“In certain ways, in drama you can skate by on energy, but with comedy, especially a pseudo-farce like this, you have to run at it 100 percent or it just doesn’t work.”

Lamb was surprised to discover during rehearsals that not all the cast members were familiar with classics like “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” or the 1946 Frank Capra film that immortalized George Bailey, “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

“They sort of had an idea of what ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ was about, but they had no memory of the characters. Different households stopped sitting down and watching television, so they weren’t brought in to go, ‘Oh, the Charlie Brown Christmas special is on, we have to watch that!’”

Part of the fun of doing “Every Christmas Story Ever Told,” he says, is acquainting people with classics such as “Rudolph” and other 1960s-era Rankin/Bass stop-motion animated productions.

“Everybody has their own go-tos for Christmas,” Rossi says, referring to the individual traditions we all develop around films and books we grew up watching and reading. “The people who wrote this definitely tried to scour all the most famous ones. Not to mention there are a lot of Christmas-around-the-world facts. But I think I had seen ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ maybe once or twice before; I had to watch that and some old cartoons from the 1960s that weren’t part of my childhood Christmas but are featured in this play. It’s been educational.

“It’s a very fun play. It’s not a play you’re going to sit back and watch happen; it’s not Eugene O’Neill. You’re part of the play in some ways. So if you’re coming to the theater to take a nap, this is not the right one.” ■ “Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)” previews at Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre, at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, holds its official opening at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, and runs through Dec. 29; preview tickets are $20, remaining show tickets are $45/adult, $40/senior and $25/youth 21 and under.

Resistance & Resilience

NOLA RESISTANCE PERFORMS WEDNESDAY AT THE BLUE GUITAR

W

ednesday Wine & Song nights at the Blue Guitar on Arroyo Seco Gold Course are usually devoted to singer-songwriters with stories to share, so next Wednesday’s evening with the NOLA Resistance is “very special” indeed. But it makes some kind of sense when considering the New Orleans ensemble’s self-titled album, released last month.

The bulk of the 11 tracks comprising “NOLA Resistance” are covers of classic social protest songs delivered with dueling sax and guitar solos, polyrhythmic percussion, and guest performances by the likes of Meters lead guitarist Leo Nocentilli and blues guitarist Kenny Neal. A faithful reading of Marvin Gaye’s “You’re the Man” is followed by a sparkling delivery of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi,” which unexpectedly gives way to a second-line beat and a choral sing-along, and then a funky take on the Beatles’ “Come Together.” The soulful grit of Stephen Stills’ “For What It’s Worth” as well as Sly & the Family Stone’s “Family Affair” is blunted by slick arrangements, but the band’s range is displayed during renditions of Bob Marley’s “War” and Gil ScottHeron’s iconic “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” updated as “The Resistance Will Not Be Televised” against a jazzy backdrop of flutes and drums.

“You will not be able to lose yourself in blunt smoke and downed apple pie shots while bingeing on scandal, because the resistance will not be televised. …

There will be no pictures of cops shooting down unarmed brothers in the instant replay. …

There will be no slow motion or still photos of Clarence Thomas dozing off in court while our civil liberties are being stripped away.”

Commentary on Facebook, Trump and “Empire” replaces the original’s spoken references to Xerox, Nixon and “The Beverly Hillbillies” before the song closes with an extended rap. Lesser-known tracks honor family and neighborhood resilience while lamenting gun violence, divided communities and disintegrating cultural traditions in robust settings evoking New Orleans’ stylistically diverse heritage. Coming from veteran musicians who’ve played together in various configurations in the 14 years since Hurricane Katrina, the music suggests theirs is a story of resilience as well as resistance. ■ Wine & Song presents A Very Special Evening with NOLA Resistance at the Blue Guitar, Arroyo Seco Golf Course, 1055 Lohman Lane, South Pasadena, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4; $25.

Jazz-blues composer Mose Allison receives lovingly eclectic tribute from daughter Amy Allison, Jackson Browne, Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal, a sublime Bonnie Raitt and Loudon Wainwright on a compilation discerningly produced by Sheldon Gomberg and Don Heffington. Fiona Apple (a snappy “Your Molecular Structure”) and Iggy Pop (the do-asI-say-not-as-I-do title track) seem to particularly relish Allison’s wit, as rich as his melodies.

Brothers Dave and Phil Alvin replace his crisp keyboard figures with stinging guitar leads (“Wild Man on the Loose”), while Anything Mose! with vocalist Richard Julian distill the weary soul of “The Way of the World” into late-night piano balladry. moseallison.com, fatpossum.com

LAKOU MIZIK, HaitiaNola (Cumbancha): ★★★★

A joyful celebration of the musical and historical ties binding Haiti and New Orleans, with soulful Haitian collective Lakou Mizik joined by a who’s who of Crescent City players, including Preservation Jazz Hall Band, Leyla McCalla, Cyril Neville, Trombone Shorty, and Tank & the Bangas frontwoman Tarriona Ball. Rasin percussion and horns accent dynamic arrangements, and Nadine Remy’s angelic vocal’s centerstage (backed by Belony Beniste’s accordion and Jon Cleary’s Professor Longhair-evoking piano) for “La Fanmi.”

Call-and-response vocals are similarly showcased during “Loumandja” and “Iko Kreyòl,” an infectious redo of “Iko Iko” featuring Arcade Fire’s Haitian-born Régine Chassagne and husband Win Butler. lakoumizik.com

LILY KERSHAW, Arcadia (Little Red/Nettwerk): ★★★

The LA songwriter’s melancholy, bell-like vocal tones are offset by rippling organ arpeggios, digital percussion, synth and harpsichord, grounding melodic folk prettiness in textural friction. That’s needed in a cycle of moody songs about love’s promise and uncertainty. Acoustic guitar warms tracks like the Mamas & the Papas-style “Here’s to Us” and the shivery “The Sea” (“Wild, awake, and uneasy/ Pulling me down to release me”), but Kershaw’s sultry delivery of standouts like “Always & Forever” (“In the darkness I feel holy”) supply its own heat. lilykershaw.com

CHARLIE PARR, Charlie Parr (Red House): ★★★

The Minnesota country blues guitarist introduces new tunes alongside fresh takes on old audience favorites, in what he’s presenting as another stage of musical evolution, with only the slaphappy “Jubilee” representing the gospel of early recordings. “On Stealing a Sailboat” is strongly reminiscent of Chris Smither’s style and humor, while bluegrass fingerpicking brightens the originally mournful “Annie Melton,” reprised from 2002’s “Criminals and Sinners,” and harmonica intensifies the jaunty riff of “Asa Jones’ Blues.”

HOL IDAY GUIDE

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY KICKS OFF NOV. 30

BY JANA J. MONJI AND KEVIN UHRICH

A

s we all know by now, the day after Thanksgiving marks the official opening of the holiday shopping season.

But in your chain-store shopping plans for Black Friday, don’t forget to visit your friendly local stores and restaurants in and around Pasadena on Nov. 30, Small Business Saturday.

“Pasadena’s uniqueness and attraction for visitors are dependent on our excellent local restaurants and small retailers.” wrote Paul Little, president and CEO of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. Not only that, “Local small businesses are owned and operated by our neighbors, they employ local people and they are very generous in supporting nonprofits that enhance the quality of life for Pasadenans.”

Shopping small and dining local, however, are important for other reasons as well.

“The marketplace in Pasadena is very competitive,” Little noted. “For a variety of reasons, some of our national retailers, such as Forever 21, are closing or have closed recently and we have seen a spike in the number of local restaurants closing in recent months. It is as important as ever to spend money with local eateries, shop in local stores and support our small businesses and the local economy,” Small Business Saturday was initiated by American Express 10 years ago. Old Pasadena (oldpasadena.org) is officially participating, with merchants offering special promotions, discounts and treats. You can find a list of Only in Old Pasadena at oldpasadena.org.

Begin your shopping in Old Pas by picking up free Shop Small Saturday tote bags and other freebies at three Welcome Stations: • Homage Pasadena — 100 N. Fair Oaks Ave.; (626) 440-7244; homagepasadena.com • We Olive & Wine Bar — 32 E. Colorado Blvd.; 32 E. Colorado Blvd., (626) 787-1000; weolive.com • Whimsy Pasadena — 40 Mills Place; (213) 334-6345; whimsypsadena.com

Old Pasadena You can have breakfast near Tiffany & Co.’s (68 W. Colorado Blvd.; 68 W. Colorado Blvd.; 626/793-7424; tiffany.com) before it opens. But afterward, if you really want to spoil your best gal or guy, check out their new T collection with bracelets and rings that run small enough for an 8-year-old.

Sur la Table (161 W. Colorado Blvd.; 161 W Colorado Blvd.; 626/744-9987; surlatable. com) is another favorite and the first stop for you before a family dinner. While you’re there, check out their knives, knife sharpeners, quirky cookie cutters and other kitschy kitchen items.

And by all means don’t forget Gold Bug (34 Union St.; 626/744-9963; goldbugpasadena.com) for your insect and creepy crawly fans, as well steampunk and Goth friends.

On Dec. 7, check out the Groovy Holiday Kick-Off at One Colorado (41 Hugus Alley, Pasadena; 626/564-1066; onecolorado.com) from 7 to 9 p.m. with Nutty playing their “martini mix” of jazz and swing. Santa will be there and Sage Vegan Bistro will be mixing drinks for adults and kids. Parking here is free on Black Friday.

Other One Colorado events include Holiday Ornament Making from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 8, the Bob Baker Marionette Holiday Show from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. Dec. 10, the Open House and Artisan Market on Dec. 14, and the Pasadena Symphony & POPS Random Acts of Music on Dec. 22. Visit OldPasadena.org/visit/events for more info.

Also in Old Pas, a tour of Castle Green (99 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena; 626/793-

0359; events@castlegreen.com) is set for Dec. 8. Call or write for more information.

When you are ready to relax after a hard day of shopping visit Edwin Mills by Equator for a bracing cocktail and a delicious meal. You’ll be glad you did. Edwin Mills by Equator is located at 22 Mills Place, Pasadena. Call (626) 564-8656 or visit edwinmills.com for more information.

South Lake Avenue Try on some bling at Pasadena’s oldest jewelry store, Arnold’s Fine Jewelry, at the Collonade on South Lake Avenue (350 S. Lake, Suite 110; 626/795-8647; arnoldsjewelry.com).

There is also Jewels on Lake (415 S. Lake Ave., Suite 101, 626/356-4242; jewelsonlake. com ), featuring dazzling settings by owner Sam Babikian.

While not a boutique, Williams Sonoma (142 S. Lake Ave.; 626/795-5045; williamssonoma.com) gives you that personal service, and for Star Wars fans it has exclusives like a $100 R2D2 popcorn popper and other Star Wars-related stuff.

At Burlington Arcade, Kimono no Kobeya (380 S. Lake Ave., No. 109; 626/796-8881; kimononokobeya.com) features the largest selection of authentic Japanese kimonos this side of the Pacific.

Next door, Contessa Foods (380 S. Lake Ave. No. 111; 626/793-7761; conbtessfoods. com) is a small boutique with non-GMO Italian specialties like olive oils, grain pastas and sauces that you can sample for lunch.

And while you’re on South Lake, be sure to visit The Bee Cottage (496 S. Lake Ave.: 626/396-9007; beecottagepasadena.com), Float Pasadena (380 S. Lake Ave.; 626/8443488; floatpasadena.com) and Republik Coffee Lounge (854 E. Green St.; 626/529-3714; republikcoffee.com).

East Pasadena Holiday shoppers might also consider showing some love to the city’s Lamanda Commercial Area. Many people may not know this, but PooBah Record Shop (2636 E. Colorado Blvd.; 626/ 449-3359; poobah.com) was used as a double in a scene involving the South Central record shop Dolphin’s of Hollywood, portrayed in the Eddie Murphy movie, “My Name Is Dolemite.”

And speaking of music, Guitar Center (2660 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, 626/5350108; guitarcenter.com) has more than guitars and ukuleles. According to the sales clerk, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers dropped by to buy his daughter a guitar and gifted a lucky guitarist with a pricey guitar.

Plus, there’s the personal service available at bigger-ticket merchants like Pasadena Yamaha (2650 E. Colorado Blvd., (626) 577-3000; pasadenayamaha.com) and Kel McIntee and his family. They’ve been in the business for 20 years.

If you’re truly toy train crazy, then stop by The Original Whistle Stop shop (2490 E. Colorado Blvd., 626/796-7791; thewhistlestop.com). This is a hobby shot with modeling materials, railroad literature and, of course, model trains.

“Brick-and-mortar retailers offer a shopping experience that cannot be found online.

More and more, it seems, customers are finding that the personal touch, the individualized service, the added benefits of working with a person and the overall retail experience are valuable,” Little stated.

HOLIDAY TREE LIGHTINGS MAKE SPIRITS SOAR

BY ERIC KUVICH

M

ake your holiday that much more magical by attending one or all of a number of tree lighting ceremonies planned in Pasadena and neighboring cities over the next few weeks.

On Tuesday, Nov. 26, officials in nearby Monrovia got onto the Yuletide spirit by lighting the city’s holiday tree during a special ceremony at Library Park, 321 S. Myrtle Ave. While that event was free, the Dec. 1 tree-lighting event from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Winter Festival at the Langham Huntington Pasadena, 1401 S. Oak Knoll Ave., will cost a few dollars. Featuring hot cocoa, face painting, holiday treats and a festive tree lighting to kick off the season, the event without food or beverages costs $20 per person, and $45 per person with the treats.

Tickets are available online only and must be secured in advance of the event. A portion of proceeds will benefit Elizabeth House and Pasadena Heritage. For tickets, visit eventbrite.com/e/winter-festival-at-the-langham-tickets-68210239663.

From 7 to 10 p.m. on Dec. 5, the Pasadena Playhouse District will be holding its annual tree lighting ceremony at the Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena. They will also be serving hot chocolate and coffee — only for free. The Playhouse event will also feature live music and a performance by the Bob Baker Marionette Theater.

Also on Dec. 5, the South Pasadena Farmers’ Market will be hosting its annual holiday tree Lighting ceremony from 4 to 7 p.m. at the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, 1121 Mission St., South Pasadena.

On Dec. 7, St. Philip the Apostle Church at 151 S. Hill St., Pasadena, will be hosting its Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony at 6 p.m.

On Dec. 14, Altadena presents its 99th Annual Christmas Tree Lane Lighting Ceremony. The Christmas Tree Lane Association will also sponsor a Winter Arts and Crafts Festival beginning at 3 p.m. and ending at 9 p.m., after the lighting ceremony, which begins at 6 p.m. along Santa Rosa Avenue, between Altadena Drive and Woodbury Road. The festival is in the parking lot of the Altadena Library 600 E. Mariposa St., Altadena.

Placed on the National Register of Historical Places and designated a California State Landmark, Christmas Tree Lane rose to fame because it combined modern outdoor electric light with the mobility of automobiles. More than 135 deodar cedar trees are lit up along the street.

Not to be left out of the holiday fun, Glendale will be hosting its Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at 6 p.m. Dec. 6 at City Hall Perkins Plaza, 613 E. Broadway.

TIPS FOR AN ECOLOGICALLY HELPFUL HOLIDAY SEASON

O

n average, there has been an astonishing 60 percent decline in the size of populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians in just over 40 years, according to the most recent World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Living Planet Report, and the top threat to species is human activity.

Adjusting holiday traditions to be friendlier toward the planet — as well as the people and animals who rely on a healthy environment to survive — can be a meaningful way to spread goodwill during the season. Here are three ideas for doing so:

Waste Not Wasted food represents about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and is a main contributor to deforestation and the depletion of global water sources. Shopping for foods grown and raised sustainably can reduce the footprint of your holiday menu.

You can green your holidays further by reducing your plastic consumption. It’s projected that by 2050, the total amount of plastic waste in the oceans will weigh more than all fi sh, and 99 percent of seabirds will have ingested plastics. Shop with reusable tote bags and opt for gift wrap and décor made only from sustainable materials.

Gifts That Give Back When you make a donation this holiday season, consider giving gifts that help protect nature, such as those found on WWF’s online gift center. For animal lovers, WWF’s wildlife-themed gifts are a good choice. Symbolic species adoptions are educational and fun. There are more than 100 species available, ranging from favorites like sloths, elephants, tigers, pandas and polar bears, to new offerings, like the ladybug, gentoo penguin and hawksbill turtle bale. All symbolic adoption donations made through the gift catalog come with an adoption certificate, as well as a color photo and description card of the adopted species. Adoptions of $55 or more come with a soft animal plush of the adopter’s choosing.

Other gift selections include unique socks, featuring fl amingoes, tigers, wolves, hedgehogs and more, t-shirts and sweatshirts, elephant slippers, animal puppets and panda bobbleheads. For more information, call 1-800-CALL-WWF or visit worldwildlife.gifts.

Fundraise Throwing a holiday bash? Deck the halls with purpose by combining your entertaining efforts with a fundraiser dedicated to protecting the environment. For example, with WWF’s Panda Nation campaign, you can turn any special occasion into an opportunity to protect threatened species and wild places around the world, while raising awareness about important issues.

By making small changes to your favorite holiday traditions, a joyful and rewarding holiday season can go hand-in-hand with helping wildlife and nature thrive.

ABSTAIN: None Date Published: November 28, 2019 Mark Jomsky, CMC City Clerk NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice of Public Hearing to extend Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 7354 of the City of Pasadena Temporarily Prohibiting Demolition and “Major Projects” Affecting Eligible, Undesignated Historic Resources ORDINANCE DESCRIPTION: At the November 25, 2019 City Council meeting, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 7354 which imposed a moratorium temporarily prohibiting demolition and “major projects” affecting eligible, undesignated historic resources. The adopted interim urgency ordinance is effective for 45 days and is set to expire on January 12, 2020.

The proposed ordinance is to extend the interim urgency ordinance for an additional 10 months and 15 days. If adopted, the new expiration date would likely be November 3, 2020.

PUBLIC MEETINGS/HEARINGS: The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed extension of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 7354 on December 9, 2019.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed extension of the urgency ordinance would impose greater limitations on development in the City and protect eligible, undesignated historic resources in Pasadena, thereby serving to avoid potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. The Council will be asked to consider whether the proposed extension of the urgency ordinance does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and is therefore exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Title 14, Sections 15061(b)(3) (the General Rule). In addition, Council will be asked to consider whether the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15262 of the State CEQA Guidelines as feasibility or planning study for possible future actions which the City has not approved, adopted, or funded, and does not involve adoption of a plan that will have a legally binding effect on later activities.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will hold a public hearing to receive testimony, oral and written, on the above proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance and environmental determination.

The hearing is scheduled for: Date: December 9, 2019 Time: 7:00 p.m.

Place: Pasadena City Hall Council Chambers, Room S249

Hallie be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: December 13, 2019, Time: 8:30 AM, Dept.: A. ROOM: 217, Location: 111 N. Hill Street Lo s Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1900285569 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
