“What did you think of the Plus Size Barbie in the ‘Barbie’ movie?” I ask my friend Jenn Melyan, who doesn’t like the term “plus size.”

She says, “It’s a euphemism that keeps fat-shaming in place.”

Jenn has been expertly dissecting our culture’s obsession with thinness in her podcast “A Fat Perspective,” accessible at afatperspective.com. Regarding my question, she thought for a moment, then said, “It was good, considering Mattel never made a fat Barbie.”

“I also noticed there was no Crone Barbie,” I said.

Barbie is not only an icon for thinness; she’s an embodiment of perpetual youth: a youth supremacist, if you will.

Representation can be tricky. While I give kudos to Greta Gerwig and her team for including Fat Barbie, it’s a tease because fat girls can’t purchase a Fat Barbie. Jenn said, “Barbie manages to make fat people visible and invisible at the same time.”

The same concept applies to an Old Barbie, one that looks like her actual age of 64, as Barbie’s official birthday is March 9, 1959. She’ll finally qualify for Medicare during next year’s Women’s History Month!

How are kids supposed to understand and accept aging if we won’t allow them to see it in their dolls? I can envision playing with Old Barbie: having a professor, grandparent or older neighbor visiting their younger Barbie friends. I seriously doubt Mattel will create one, and fat chance they’ll make a Fat Barbie. Yes, in 2016, Mattel released a more “inclusive” body type with “Curvy Barbie” (that’s the actual name), even though in today’s world, she’s a size 10-12! We can dream, though.

As a child, I had a Tiny Tears doll with a hole in its mouth so I could bottle feed it, and it would — voilá! — urinate, a potent warning for future mommies. At 5, I distinctly remember an adult giving me a toy iron and ironing board. I was so insulted! “You want me to what? Go back and forth on this mini-ironing board, pretending to iron?” I threw the iron at the wall and haven’t ironed since.

When a teen Barbie doll came into my life in the early ’60s, I was more than eager to play using scenarios that didn’t include fabric care or changing wet diapers.

Back to the Barbie movie, which I adored as both entertainment and art. I hate it when people say, “The movie should have … fill-inthe-blank.” For example, the movie couldn’t veer into LGBTQ+ territory because Barbie’s world in both Barbieland and real-life trucks in binary. Nuance is not available in an either/or world, which is how Mattel created it, and Gerwig does her best to subvert it. The skill and intelligence of co-writers Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach to make such a complicated, fun and existential movie is awe-inspiring.

Also inspiring is Gerwig breaking the billion-dollar box office mark, which adds more fuel to the destruction of the tired canard: women directors are box office poison.

For the screening, I wore a pink tank top I accessorized with my late mother’s gorgeous strands of pink costume jewelry. Many others in the audience had also dressed up. I laughed, and yes, I cried, too.

I’m nothing if not an emotional bellwether; I’m a perfect focus group person, as I’ve been known to cry at a well-executed anti-flatulence ad.

I was also touched that Gerwig had two — count ’em — two women over 65 in her film. Rhea Perlman playing Ruth Handler, the creator of Barbie and co-founder of Mattel, was poignant. And the older, nameless woman at the bus stop — played by 91-year-old Oscar-winning costume designer Ann Roth — was also a tender touch. Barbie says to her, “You’re beautiful.” The old woman replies, “I know.” After all, Barbie starts her existential journey by grappling with her mortality. She sidesteps aging except for that sweet nod toward the aging woman.

As a society, we make aging shameful for women. Even ardent feminists I know still lie about their age! I’m turning 70 on Aug. 27 and am surprised I’ve lived this long. People also routinely lie about their weight. Age and weight, I would argue, are the driving forces behind most elective surgeries in the U.S. I have friends who seem addicted to facelifts; similarly, I have a high percentage of friends who have done drastic surgeries for fat “eradication.”

A caveat: Not everyone accepts the words “fat” and/or “old.” It’s a nomenclature minefield out there. If you call someone “fat” rather than “ample” or plus-size, prepare to have a limb blown off. It’s the same with age: Referring to someone as an old woman is often an insult. This is complicated!

We could make significant inroads toward inclusion if we were honest about our ages and sizes. We need to reclaim the authentic spaces of our lives and accept each other for who we are, just as we are. You know the chestnut: “Nothing in life is certain except for fat, death and taxes.” I just slipped “fat” in to see if you were paying attention.

Innovating in the Arts

Manuel

Prieto joins Boston Court Pasadena

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

After an extensive national search, the board of directors of Boston Court Pasadena have named Manuel Prieto as the organization’s new executive director.

As the nonprofit arts center celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, Prieto said he feels humbled, inspired and excited to both honor Boston Court’s history and find ways to innovate in the future.

“I’ve been a longtime admirer and supporter of Boston Court, so it’s amazing that I get to be part of the Boston Court family,” he said. “I really gravitate towards the fact that this performing arts center produces new work. Even before it

was in vogue to produce local Angeleno artists of color’s work, they were making that commitment.

“Most recently, before the pandemic, they have begun to do National Theatre Live. And as an art lover that can’t easily get to London to see these amazing, wonderful shows, the service that they were doing by livestreaming those productions in a beautiful space with excellent picture quality and sound really drew me to the organization.”

Prieto grew up in the Imperial Valley and was introduced to the theater in elementary school through a matinee performance of “The Wizard of Oz” at Balboa Park’s Starlight Bowl.

“I was mesmerized,” he said. “I was

and healthy vision to live your life to the fullest!

transported into a new world, and I was very curious as to how all these storytelling elements were presented to tell a beautiful story that was magical, that was out of this world.”

In Pasadena, Boston Court’s 75-seat Marjorie Branson Performance Space and 99-seat Main Stage have served as homes for the nonprofit’s theater productions, eclectic music series, the annual New Play Reading Festival and Art Upfront, a rotating visual art program. The organization has produced 63 fully staged theatrical productions, more than 350 concerts, 18 new play reading festivals, dozens of visual art exhibits and more than 40 National Theatre Live screenings.

Prieto enters the Boston Court leadership team with a bounty of experience. He holds a master’s degree in nonprofit management from Antioch University and bachelor’s degree in theater design from the University of Southern California and has served as director of education at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts and executive director of Los Angeles Music and Art School (LAMusArt) from 2015 to 2022.

Though he launched the Young Professionals Board, which is comprised of millennials interested in philanthropy, led the development of two five-year strategic plans and more than doubled the budget to $1.5 million annually during his time with LAMusArt, Prieto said that one of his proudest achievements with the East LA institution was to provide valuable arts education to underserved youth and witness their academic journeys.

“When I was at LAMusArt, I met this wonderful family, the Ortega family, and there were three sisters that were all engaged in different disciplines,” he re-

called. “In my work there, I was privileged enough to see them grow up and see them all achieve success. Now, all three have been to college. Two of them have graduated, one from Berkeley and one from USC, and the third one is in the process of transferring to a four-year university.

“You see these wonderful human beings thrive in the arts and then choose career paths that give back to the community as either educators or as psychologists, so there’s an element of pride in that the soft skills that they gained during arts education translate into success as young professionals.”

As executive director of Boston Court, Prieto will co-lead the organization alongside Jessica Kubzansky, one of the original founding artistic directors since the nonprofit’s inception in 2003, who said that she “could not be more thrilled to work with Manny, whose advocacy and creative strategic thinking I so admire. … I am delighted by the opportunity to dream the organization forward together.”

Prieto described Pasadena as a “vibrant community” with a thriving playhouse village and said that his vision for the future is to help Boston Court continue to integrate itself deeper into the city’s cultural landscape. He noted that the first step is to meet with stakeholders and assess the community’s needs.

“I do want to honor the community that we’ve fostered within and beyond our performing arts center walls, and I truly want to continue and deepen Boston Court’s commitment to new and innovative work, essentially incorporating the arts into the DNA of our surrounded communities in Pasadena through longstanding and new engagement opportunities,” Prieto said. “During the pandemic, Boston Court start-

ed doing these round tables with community stakeholders, and there are beautiful opportunities and transcripts of what the community needs and wants.”

One of Prieto’s plans is to start incorporating more arts exposure and learning into Boston Court’s programming with the aim of bringing education to people of all ages. He said that he and Kubzansky are currently making plans to hold educational matinee opportunities because they believe that “exposure is the number one way of getting students and families hooked.”

Prieto also said he wants to build on the “illuminations” that Boston Court holds after their shows, which are conversations regarding the themes and elements of the productions. In the upcoming world premiere of Kubzansky’s “Measure STILL for Measure,” Boston Court’s first immersive play that utilizes the entire building and runs from Sept. 7 through Oct. 15, the organization will hold six free illumination conversations for the audience.

“We are also now doing an expanded engagement around new play develop-

mental workshops where we actually invite the public in,” Prieto said. “Usually new play developments are a very closeddoor, by-invitation-only process, but now we want to hear from the community and give the community a sneak peek into what play development is like.”

As the curtain closes on the first two decades of Boston Court’s history, Prieto said that he is optimistically looking toward the next 20 years as a time of inclusivity and community engagement within the performing arts center’s walls.

“This is a gathering place,” he said. “It’s a place to think critically. It’s a place for innovation. It’s a place of employment and a driver of economic prosperity for the businesses surrounding us on Colorado Avenue.

“The performing arts are a driver of commerce and (Boston Court) is another attractive jewel in the community of Pasadena that not only the community of Pasadena, but the surrounding communities of Los Angeles County can truly take advantage of and be a part of.”

Manuel Prieto is the new Boston Court Pasadena executive director.

Aaron Weiss is passionate about sharing his love of cars.

“I’ve always liked cars, their design and the history that goes with them,” Weiss said. “I’ve just always been interested in cars since I was little.”

Thirteen years ago, he co-founded the San Marino Motor Classic, which returns to Lacy Park on Sunday, Aug. 27.

The San Marino Motor Classic is a prestigious Concours d’Elegance, including a Concorso Ferrari, where many of the world’s finest classic cars are on display and are judged.

Spectators can vote for their favorite to win an award, too.

The 2023 Motor Classic weekend will

include the Symphony of Cars Gala, a tour of an exotic car collection, and the Automotive Fine Arts Society exhibit on Saturday, Aug. 26.

The gala is a charitable event that supports the Cancer Support Community of San Gabriel Valley.

“It is a fabulous evening that includes an open bar, gourmet dinner with B Cellars Wine, live music and a presentation of classic cars,” said Weiss, adding that tickets are $300 in advance only.

The 2023 Motor Classic is presented by RUSNAK Auto Group, the Symphony of Cars Gala is hosted by David Lee & Hing Wa Lee Jewelers, and the Automotive Fine Arts Society exhibit is hosted by Bonhams and Berkshire Hathaway Team Janice Lee.

Food trucks, vendors and the Automotive Fine Arts Society exhibit will enhance the event.

The San Marino Motor Classic is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has awarded over $2.5 million to local charities including the Pasadena Humane, San Marino Rotary Charities, Give-Mentor-Love Foundation, Rose Bowl Aquatics Center and Cancer Support Community of San Gabriel Valley.

The successor of the Los Angeles Concours d’Elegance, the San Marino Motor Classic was established in 2011 by Weiss, Ben Reiling and Paul Colony.

In its inaugural year, the exhibition, held in Lacy Park, an exclusive 30-acre park in San Marino, was a hybrid of a Classic Car Club of America Grand Classic and a contemporary Concours d’Elegance. More than 220 Brass- and Depression-era and post-war luxury and sports cars were showcased attracting more than 3,000 spectators. The 2011

event raised more than $120,000 for its benefi ciaries.

A real estate investor, Weiss collects predominantly pre-World War II American and European classics. He said cars piqued his interest as a child living next door to a movie actress.

“She bought a Rolls Royce,” he said. “I had never seen one before. I asked my mom and she said, ‘Oh, that’s the finest car in the world.’ It just stayed with me.

“My dad brought me showroom catalogs to look at when I was young. One of my cousins said I could give them the year, make and model of any car on the road when I was little.”

Weiss said the passion goes beyond cars.

“It’s the people you meet in the hobby,” he said. “We see friends of ours from all over the country. I think that makes it really special. Cars are the glue that brings us together. Everybody has a lot to say to each other.”

Visions of Japan

Exploring the inspirations behind the Gamble House

By Leah Schwartz Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

The American architects Charles and Henry Greene — notably known for designing the Gamble House, an iconic American Craftsmen home overlooking Pasadena’s Arroyo Seco — never stepped foot in Japan. Yet, their interpretations of Japanese architecture and design have gone down in the annals of American architectural history.

On Saturday, Aug. 26, at the Neighborhood Church adjacent to the Gamble House, writer and scholar Bruce Smith will speak to the sources of the brothers’ inspiration and how they transmuted Japanese elements to create a style that was all their own. A reception and book signing with Smith will follow the lecture, as well as a one-of-a-kind Japanese folk art sale. Items for sale will be avail-

able for preview before the lecture.

The brothers, known collectively as Greene and Greene, were not largely “self-promoters,” explained Smith, who has been researching the pair for over 30 years. Yet, their designs, characterized by a Japanese aesthetic, have permeated Pasadena and Southern California, forever altering the landscape of American architecture.

The Gamble House, constructed in 1908 as a home for David B. Gamble, son of the Procter & Gamble founder James Gamble, is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the American Arts and Crafts movement. Today the home is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public for tours and events.

Smith describes the string of Greene and Greene houses along the Arroyo, including the Gamble House, some of the “most elegant artistic visions of Japan ever expressed in American architecture and design. But yet, it didn’t come from Japan. It came through them, through what they saw as Japanese.”

This digested influence is seen through-

Charles and Henry Greene never visited Japan, yet they brought one of the most influential visions of Japan to America. Greene & Greene scholar Bruce Smith will speak to the sources of the two brothers’ inspiration, and how, through their architecture and design, they created a poetic, elegiac vision of Japan that came, in the end, more from themselves than it did from Japan.

Japanese folk art objects that will be for sale during the reception and book signing following the presentation. 100% of the proceeds from the art sale, made possible through a generous anonymous donation, will benefit the Gamble House.

out the Gamble House. The rafter tails extending beyond the house’s eaves evoke Japanese sensibilities, yet they were an invention of the Greenes and are rarely found elsewhere. Similarly, the home’s Japanese metal lanterns, which differ from traditional designs, are adorned with art glass.

“This vision that the Greenes had of Japan expressed through their architecture was more about the Greenes’ vision and interpretation of what things were Japanese rather than anything about Japan,” Smith said.

Yet, at its core, the Gamble House is a “Western” home, explained Jennifer Trotoux, director of collections and interpretation at the Gamble House. Where the house diverges from the Japanese aesthetic is how it defines spaces. The Greenes’ style is “enclosed,” explained Trotoux, whereas Japanese architecture is open and spacious with pavilion-style designs.

Although the Greenes never traveled to Japan, they found inspiration closer to home, frequenting the Japanese Garden at The Huntington with its historic Japanese House and ceremonial teahouse. The brothers drew inspiration from Japanese import stores and books. Although, the style did not fully blossom in their work until

The Gamble House, built in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter and Gamble Company, is the most complete and original example of the work of architects Charles and Henry Greene.

Charles visited the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and its Japanese exhibits, which influenced their designs from there on out.

The lecture will conclude with a book signing, which will include two of Smith’s works, “Six California Kitchens: A Collection of Recipes, Stories, and Cooking Lessons from a Pioneer of California Cuisine,” which he co-wrote with Sally Schmitt, an early pioneer of farm-to-table

cuisine who opened the famed restaurant The French Laundry in Napa in 1978, and “The Beautiful Necessity” about the Arts and Crafts movement.

The signing will coincide with a Japa-

nese folk art sale featuring small art objects, ceramics, toys, textiles and Kokeshi dolls donated by a private collector. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Gamble House.

‘We’ve Made Lemonade Out of Lemons’

Altadena Farmers Market: A contentious journey

By Frier McCollister Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Altadena’s small but mighty and beloved community farmers market at Loma Alta Park held its final in-person Wednesday market on June 28.

The market’s managers, Rafa Gass and Leigh McGilvray, and most of the market’s community vendors quickly and successfully pivoted to an online ordering and Wednesday afternoon distribution platform.

The weekly distribution for the new online operation is staged at Pizza of Venice and hosted by owners Sean St. John and Jamie Woolner. They launched their deservedly popular artisanal pizzeria as a pop-up experiment at the original market’s inception in 2011.

The new and unusual market model deployed neatly, based on the online format developed and launched during the pandemic lockdown, by the market’s well-re-

spected previous owner and manager Stacey Whitney, who moved to Chicago late last year.

In the meantime, the Altadena Neighborhood Farmers Market opened on July 28 at Loma Alta Park, under the management of the large nonprofit, Raw Inspiration. It owns and operates over 20 markets across LA County.

The new market is larger, with a number of new vendors, as well as a few original shops from the old market, including Kat’s Macarons, bread baker Out of Thin Air, Apricoty and notably Brisa Lopez and her ever-popular local taco pop-up fixture, Tacos Casa.

The two markets have been running in tandem now for over a month. What happened exactly and why? The answer is not entirely clear.

The term “hostile takeover” tends to be applied to corporate acquisitions, not to local farmers markets. Yet one local stake-

holder, who declined to be identified, used the term to describe the manner in which the LA County Department of Parks and Recreation (LACDPR) handled the original market’s management transition. That’s when Stacey Whitney said she would formally transfer ownership and management of the market by the end of June.

By phone from Chicago, Whitney offered her recollection of the events and her perspectives. Noting a combination of family, health and financial considerations for her move and the decision to transfer ownership of the market, she explained.

“Before I left, I had a Zoom call with the community, talking about the market. At that time, I was communicating the fact that I was exhausted. There were some

weeks when I paid myself nothing. It was inconsistent and unsustainable. The energy and time I was putting into the market was not economically feasible for me.”

Whitney arranged for Gass and McGilvary to supervise the on-site management of the market, while she maintained it remotely and organized the transition of ownership.

In April, Whitney began vetting three local candidates to take over the original market with vendors and community patrons included in the process.

“I did my due diligence at the time. I had to communicate that I was leaving,” she said. “At the time, I sent out a message, including the (LA County) Department of Parks and Recreation, and of course our ven-

dors and our community partners, explaining what my situation was.

“Some of the vendors were interested in assuming the market. There were a couple of farmers market organizations that were interested in assuming the market. So we started this vetting process.”

Market manager and current owner Gass concurred, “(Whitney) found the people who would be willing to continue with the same market philosophy that we always had: respecting the vendors, not charging super-high fees, trying to keep the community engaged and all that. She was also doing something great. She let the community pick who they wanted to run the market. That was such a great idea. She took each person’s proposal, and she took it to the community and the community was voting on which proposal was best.

“About a month later, when she was almost done with the survey, the county stepped in and said ‘No.’”

In May, Norma Garcia, the county’s director of parks and recreation, ordered Whitney to stand down from the process, without explanation.

“In the middle of that (community) conversation, I got a message from this woman from the Department of Parks and Recreation (Garcia) to basically cease and desist from the vetting process. This was the first that we had received any correspondence from the department,” Whitney recalled. “I had never spoken to Norma prior to her telling us to stop.”

Allegedly, phone calls and email inquiries from the community went unanswered by Garcia’s office for several weeks until it was announced in a press release issued on June 28 that a new market — Altadena Neighborhood Farmers Market — operated by the nonprofit Raw Inspiration would open from 4 to 8 p.m. Fridays beginning July 28.

Gass recounted the events, “Then they (LACDPR) went totally silent for another month, month and a half — it felt like forever — they weren’t responding to anybody. When they finally came through, it was close to our last two weeks at the park.”

Whitney noted, “The vendors — some of whom have been at the market for 10 years — were not given an opportunity to vet this new operator at all. They were given no input or participation in the selection process. We were all dismissed from that process. Many of us saw it as a disenfranchisement.”

Back at Loma Alta Park, Gass and McGilvray had less than a month to inform the local market customers and organize the vendors, as they scrambled to implement the online market platform.

Concerns were also raised that the county’s press release was not fully transparent regarding the management and date change, lending the impression that the old market was simply moving to Friday evening.

“It’s really bugging me,” Glass said. “They’re making it appear as though they’re us.”

On behalf of the county, Norma Garcia, in a brief phone conversation stated, “We were informed by the Altadena Farmers Market that they would no longer operate a farmers market on county property at Loma Alta Park. So, we had an opportunity, knowing that this was a very important community-servicing market, very beloved by the community. We wanted to make sure that the services provided by a farmers market would continue at Loma Alta Park.

“So, we engaged Raw Inspiration, who bring fresh perspective, innovative ideas,

a commitment to fostering community engagement and who have a lot of experience running farmers markets not only throughout the county but specifically in communities adjacent to Altadena, and they have a great track record of success. We wanted to make sure that we continued to provide a farmers market in the community of Altadena.”

Raw Inspiration also owns and manages the Monrovia Street Fair and Market on Friday evenings and the La Canada Flintridge Farmers Market on Saturdays as well.

When asked about the community’s sense of disenfranchisement in the process of selecting the new market operator, Garcia responded, “I understand this may be the perception, but this was a decision that was carefully thought through. As a matter of fact, right before making the community announcement, Raw Inspiration met with community leaders to share the ideas about the day, the type of vendors, the programming, and it was highly well received by community leaders, which is why the LACDPR moved forward with Raw Inspiration.”

When asked which “community lead-

ers” she was referencing, Garcia replied, “Community leaders like the Altadena Town Council, like the Altadena Chamber of Commerce, and members of the local community. A lot of the ideas, a lot of the needs, a lot of the wants of the community are incorporated in Raw Inspiration’s model for the farmers market and we’re very excited to kick off the farmers market and have the Altadena community come enjoy an evening in the park.”

Indeed, now a month in, Friday’s new Altadena Neighborhood Farmers Market has perhaps twice the number of vendors as the original market and has been largely well attended. There are a few more farms represented and, by some accounts, the overall quality and variety of the produce may have improved.

The original vendors have mixed reviews, but remain positive.

Vendor Kat Woodhouse of Kat’s Macarons did note that the fee schedule for vendors has changed from a sliding scale of a 10% to 15% charge on gross sales with the original market to a flat fee, graduated depending on the product sold with Raw Inspiration. For prepared food vendors like her, the fee in excess of $50, represented more than 25% of her sales on one slow Friday. On the other hand, Mikey Yang from bread bakery Out of Thin Air said, “It feels like it’s going to work out great.”

On the opening Friday, Melissa Farwell of Raw Inspiration noted that she had offered employment to Gass and McGilvray, while adding, “There are multiple sides to every story. Everyone sees things from their own perspective.”

Her regular on-site manager Chloe Nikolai added later, “We definitely want the community to have what they want or need. We are here to bring fresh and local. I want everybody in the community to know about this market, especially with the date change. It’s going to be a beautiful thing.”

Brisa Lopez of the locally ubiquitous and well-loved Tacos Casa is less enthusiastic. Having worked at other markets under the aegis of Raw Inspiration, she is unimpressed.

“When we heard it was them (Raw Inspiration), we knew it was over,” she said. “Raw Inspiration owns 20 to 25 markets. I used to do seven of them in the past. You can interview every single vendor that has been working with them and they will tell you the same. They don’t care about the vendors. It’s very impersonal. They charge you in advance. There are many, many hidden things here and there. I worked with them for five years. Please

That said, Lopez also made the point that Raw Inspiration didn’t pursue the county for the market’s ownership and operation in Altadena. The county offered the opportunity to the large nonprofit directly.

Tacos Casa is maintaining a presence at the new market for now, largely so that Lopez’s regular customers are aware of the situation and of her impending departure from the market by the end of the year. “I’m there to let my customers know that I’m not coming back,” she asserted.

In fact, Lopez was the lead vendor bidding to assume the ownership of the original market from Whitney and also took over ownership and management of the popular Mariposa Junction street fair that Whitney had also launched last year. (Staged on the first Saturday of every month, the street fair was ousted by the landlord in August and Lopez was forced

to change her location to the parking lot of the nearby Grocery Outlet.)

At the first online distribution day at Pizza of Venice, on July 5, regular customers of the old market began to arrive to pickup their preordered boxes. A mild flurry of commentary ensued in the parking lot.

Maxwell May of Altadena commented, “We love the old farmers’ market. We were bummed that it wasn’t going to be there (at Loma Alta Park).”

Another market patron, Linda Lafourcade of Altadena said, “I’m so glad Pizza of Venice is doing this, so we don’t lose this resource.”

Ariane Vielmetter of Altadena remarked on her impression of the situation, “Normally, I’m a farmers market regular. I feel it was unfortunate. I knew Stacey (Whitney) had moved to Chicago and they had struggled with the county. They (the local market managers and vendors) weren’t allowed to participate in the (transition)

process. I wanted to support these vendors.”

Altadena-based market vendor Alan Peck, who with his wife and partner, Jamelle, operates Straight Dough and Peck’s Preserves, concurred, “There was never a forum where they took our input.”

Alan Peck is an Altadena town councilmember.

Longtime market volunteer and Altadena resident Anna Schlobohm de Cruder put it more bluntly, “It was handled gracelessly.”

Whitney gets the final word, “The whole situation could have been handled in a more cooperative way. I want to make it super clear. We definitely want success in the new market. We hope it will continue to support the community. (But) please continue to support the (original) market through the online store.”

By all accounts the new model for the old market has been a success for Gass and Mc-

Gilvray. On the first Wednesday at POV, Gass speculated that the week’s sales were up 300% from the final in-person market.

“Our customers have a strong bond with each vendor. It’s going to get better and better.” She also had nothing but praise for Pizza of Venice. “They (Woolner and St. John) came in without us even asking.”

In fact, Woolner had wandered into a meeting of the market vendors, following the announcement that the in-person market would shutter and offered the use of the pizzeria’s spare storefront for the online distribution.

“I just happened into it. I didn’t know it was going on.”

Woolner is circumspect and discreet in airing his opinions on the county’s conduct and the new operator. He summed it up aptly, with a fresh produce metaphor, “We’ve made lemonade out of lemons.”

‘The Bluest Eye’

A Noise Within brings Toni Morrison classic to life

By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

ANoise Within isn’t afraid to share uncomfortable topics — especially when they are explored with depth and beauty in classic works such as Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye.”

The Pasadena theater company is opening its 2023-24 “Balancing Act” season with the dramatic adaptation of the 1970 novel.

The book has been banned by 32 school districts across the country during the past two school years alone and has several times appeared on the American Library Association’s annual list of top 10 most-challenged books because of its frank depiction of racism, domestic violence and alcohol abuse.

The story also makes many people uncomfortable because it shows the harm that the white gaze can cause young, Black children.

In this adaptation by Lydia R. Diamond, approved by Morrison herself before her death in 2019, three young Black girls in 1940s Ohio try to make sense of a world that is filled with damaging beauty standards, sexual abuse and hatred.

pages and she did a stellar job.”

Chapman explained that Diamond managed to choose the moments in the story that connect to the ones she had to omit in the play. At times she takes excerpts verbatim from the novel to put them in the mouths of Claudia, Frieda and Percola.

“There are echoes of the novel all throughout the play,” Chapman said. “She just put it in a form where it can be told from a theatrical standpoint as opposed to a novel format. She did a beautiful job of moving from one place to another and you’re not missing a beat. She’s quite elegant telling of Percola’s unfortunate rape by her father. She shares how those things should be dealt with in the play. It’s really lyrically put together.”

The actual rape is not shown onstage. It is told in a potent manner, Chapman said, but not physicalized in a way that would detract from the storytelling.

Cancer Support Community

Two sisters, Claudia and Frieda, tell their story and the story of a foster child, Pecola Breedlove, a young girl with dark black skin who wishes for blue eyes so that she will be loved.

“We all have imaginations,” Chapman said. “Toni’s words are so beautifully flowery and detailed that all you have to do is allow your imagination to go with her. You’re right there and you smell the lilacs and the strawberries.”

Directed by Andi Chapman, the production will run from Saturday, Sept. 2, to Sunday, Sept. 24, with previews starting Sunday, Aug. 27. A director, actor and professor, Chapman teaches theater at Azusa Pacific University and is the associate artistic director at The Ebony Repertory Theatre.

A longtime fan of Morrison, Chapman said she reread the book immediately after being asked to direct it and has since listened to the audiobook narrated by Morrison 16 to 17 times.

She explained that it is beautiful to hear Morrison’s inflection and how she first intended to tell the story and she expects she will keep listening to it until the play is up and running so that she can tune in to the nuances of the story.

“It’s such a huge responsibility to tell that story,” Chapman said.

“Lydia Diamond did a brilliant adaptation for the play, and I understand Toni signed off on it. It’s so hard to encapsulate it in 81

The three children are played by adults. Akilah A. Walker is Pecola, Kacie Rogers is Claudia, and Mildred Marie Langford is Frieda. Others in the cast include Julanne Chidi Hill as Mrs. Breedlove, Kamal Bolden as Cholly Breedlove, Crystal Jackson and Alex Morris as Claudia and Frieda’s parents, and Alex Metz as classmate Maureen.

The play is told through the eyes of Claudia and Frieda, who are now adults and looking back at their childhood.

Chapman said the story resonates because we haven’t come too far from what Morrison wrote about more than 50 years ago. Percola is a little girl who hates herself because she doesn’t look the way the world tells her she should look. She sees Shirley Temple on television and reads the Dick and Jane books where little girls have blond hair and blue eyes. She comes to think that if she had blue eyes, the world would see her and love her.

“The whole of the book is about loving oneself and not being affected by a gaze of something else,” Chapman said. “This is a racially charged book. These people come from the

Jim Crow, reconstruction and sharecropping era and start to migrate. They believe that in the north they’ll find ‘the warmth of other suns,’ but they still find the same kind of racial disparities. This child has ingested it all.”

While some can live in a strong and confident way, Percola is broken by the expectations of her community. Meanwhile others, like Percola’s father, take a more violent path.

“It’s an illumination of atonement, of how we could do things differently if we can extinguish the thing that causes us to not be who we are and love ourselves,” Chapman said. “That to me is the greatest story line. The little girls talk about seeds being planted in the earth that they were hoping would grow. Then they deduced that the ground was not receiving of those seeds. Which means that at that time in America, and still here now, today, they’re not receiving the wholeness of who we are as humans in the world.”

Morrison said she wrote the story as a reflection on her own childhood when one of her elementary school friends told her she wished for blue eyes.

“I looked around to picture her with them and was violently repelled by what I imagined she would look like if she had her wish,” Morrison wrote in her author’s note. “Implicit in her desire was racial self-loathing. Twenty years later, I was still wondering about how one learns that. Who told her? Who made her feel that it was better to be a freak than what she was? Who had looked at her and found her so wanting, so small a weight on the beauty scale? The novel pecks away at the gaze that condemned her.”

Chapman said she hopes everyone sees themselves in Pecola. While this story is very specifically about the white gaze and the harm it does, body dysphoria is something increasingly common among children and young people, whether because of social media or other pressures.

“It’s such a beautiful, thoughtful story about can we all just be humans in the world?” Chapman said.

She added with some states trying to erase history, telling stories like this becomes more important than ever. She said that facts will continue to be facts, whether people tell them or not, but that some want to sweep difficult ones under the rug rather than dealing with them head on.

One of the themes Chapman and her artistic crew work with is the move from Africa

to America. She’s bringing in beautiful ancestral chairs that are set in a storytelling formation. Light and sound tell the story of migration. She said she asked her lighting designer, Andrew Schmedake, to paint a bare-bones set with his lights.

“It’s just a marvelous, beautiful vista,” Chapman said, explaining that the set picture will be revealed in a surprising way for the audience. “I’m dealing with a great migration with light and beautiful sound and very few props. It’s just text, music and actors. It’s like a symphony quilting of the story.”

Her creative team includes composer and musical director Maritri Garrett, choreographer Indira Tyler, scenic designer Fred Kinney, sound designer Jeff Gardner, costume designer Wendell C. Carmichael, wig and makeup designer Sheila Dorn, and properties designer Stephen Taylor. Miranda Johnson-Haddad serves as dramaturg.

Throughout the run there will be several special events. The Aug. 31 preview will be sensory friendly. A discreetly placed lantern will provide warning of upcoming abrupt or intense moments of lighting, sound or onstage action. From 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 3, there will be an Insiders Discussion Group tackling the subject of banned books.

On Thursday, Sept. 7, the performance will be a “Black Out Night,” which is an opportunity for people self-identifying as Black to experience the performance together and attend a post-show reception.

Post-performance conversations will take place every Friday except the preview.

Chapman said this performance is a chance to see what lives in the minds of artists like Toni Morrison. “The Bluest Eye,” she said is an American story that lends itself to the whole of humanity. In an age where young girls are killing themselves or wanting to die because of bullying on social media, this story sounds a warning.

“It’s an American story about a young woman who didn’t have the opportunity, because she’s so little, to love herself,” Chapman said. “She didn’t understand that because she was fed so many different aesthetics and things that were expected of her. She got the wrong message. We have to protect our children. We have to protect ourselves. If there’s a narrative that is the opposite of what God intended, which is that humans live as one whatever color they’re in, then we have to extinguish that message.”

called Giadonna to create artistic, high-fashion apparel for their merch line.

Over the last year and a half, the band has been working on material for a new album. All three members have been contributing song ideas.

“We all collaborate together,” Stahl said.

“Of course, there is one person who has that little seed, but we try very hard to workshop it together. Things inevitably change throughout the writing process. We want it to feel like a band, not like a solo project of any one person.”

Matthews said the album has come together organically.

“You never know that you are writing a record. You are just writing songs and seeing what happens. … We very quickly realized we had enough material that we felt was strong and that could work together in some grouping,” Matthews said.

“I think that we knew a follow-up LP would happen. We’ve started to get to the point now where we are discussing how we go about recording the next thing. In the next six months, we are going to start the recording process, maybe even sooner.”

They have been recording at Stahl’s

new studio Coyote Run Studio. It is in a 1,000-square-foot barn with cavernous 30-foot ceilings, located on a 5-acre ranch in Joshua Tree.

Stahl said the space is informing the band’s sound for the new album.

“This new batch of recording feels very architectural in the way of creating almost a gothic cathedral. Everything revolves around our drum sound right now. … Lyrically and thematically, these songs are very atmospheric. At times, they are abstract. We are trying very hard to reflect that in the sonic landscape,” Stahl said.

This is the group’s second album.

Last October, they released their first album “Loom,” which they worked on with producer Jason Rhodes.

Stahl said that Rhodes really helped to bring a fuller “orchestral” sound, with multiple guitar sounds, along with additional parts, melodies and hooks.

Matthews also plays the guitar differently, with more open tunings, which create a more psychedelic sound.

They recorded their first album at Kingsize Soundlabs. The process started in June 2020, and they continued to record through the height of the pandemic.

Matthews said, initially, they started working together to make music.

“At least for me, the intent was I wanted a recording project. I didn’t want a band. The pandemic was the perfect scenario where that could come true. Then it was like, we like this material. Maybe we want a band, too,” Matthews said.

Most of the songs were written by Matthews from 2017 to 2019, but he said the themes of anxiety and uncertainty explored in the album were relevant to the time period.

“I just happened to be going through things in life prior to the pandemic that emotionally resonated in the pandemic as well, to a much greater degree,” Matthews said.

Although Matthews came up with the initial blueprint for the songs, the team worked collaboratively in developing the music.

Stahl said the introspective lyrics are a stark contrast to the album’s overall sound.

“Something I have reflected on a lot is the joy and vigor in a lot of the instrumental tracks. … There’s this energy,” Stahl said.

“It’s like we had to get something out. There were no gigs. There were no outlets for the physicality of playing instruments. I think that comes through on the record and on the sounds and instrumental production of it.”

They began to perform live in 2022. The release of their single “Good Luck Baby” and later their album helped them to get traction, and they have been doing multiple gigs a month since then.

“It feels good to put something out and have LA and different parts of California be so open to what we are doing,” Stahl said.

“When there were no opportunities to perform live, we did the next best thing and made a record. We are fortunate to still be getting to play that record all around town.”

True Satisfaction

Clarke celebrates Keith Richards with new project

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

When guitarist Gilby Clarke hit 60 last year, he vowed to inject more fun into his career.

That’s when he founded Gilby Clarke and the Keef Richards.

“We all have our jobs,” he said. “I wanted to have a project that was fun — something with my friends, do some shows and really have a good time.”

Clarke is bringing the band — which also includes bassist/vocalist Sean McNabb, keyboardist/vocalist Mike Mangan and drummer Jason Sutter — to Yaamava Resort and Casino at San Manuel at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25.

“This project is like a mockery of Keith Richards,” Clarke said with a laugh. “We are a full band of Keith Richards. To me, Keith embodies rock ’n’ roll. That’s what this project is. It’s fun.

take it beyond the state’s borders.

“We’re playing predominately covers — the Stones, the Beatles, Joe Cocker, ZZ Top, Guns n’ Roses, some of my stuff. For me, it’s more about having fun and enjoying what we do and play what I love to play.”

The Keef Richards kicked off its gigs with a residency at the Bourbon Room on Hollywood Boulevard. Clarke called himself the “road captain, guitarist and lead vocalist,” who earned his stripes with Guns N’ Roses, Heart, MC5 and Nancy Sinatra.

Clarke called his bandmates an all-star band. McNabb’s credits include stints with Dokken and Quiet Riot, as well as appearances on “Sons of Anarchy.” Meanwhile, Mangan, who plays Hammond organ, has played with The Cult and Glenn Hughes.

Sutter formerly split his time between Cher and Joe Perry, after wrapping up with the now-late Chris Cornell.

So far, Gilby Clarke and the Keef Richards have only gigged in California, but when the timing is right, he’s hoping to

“At this point in our lives and career, we’ve earned a way to have fun,” he said. “We all have our jobs. It is a little tricky. It’s why we can’t do too many shows. Everybody has their bands they’re playing with. During the summer we’re all touring. When the summer winds down, in August/September, that’s when we start gigging.”

The Yaamava show is with Beyond Frontiers, a Journey tribute act featuring Joey Belladonna of Anthrax.

“This is Joey’s new project,” he said. “He has his ‘fun’ band also. It’s fun to see musicians outside of their respective bands.

“Even the guys in my band didn’t know that Beyond Frontiers was Joey’s band.”

Clarke has had a rich career, but he tends not to look back. Instead, he looks forward to the future. Soon, he will begin work on a follow-up to 2021’s “The Gospel Truth.” That collection came 20 years after his last solo work, 1994’s “Pawnshop Guitars.”

“The way to keep things fresh is to look forward,” he said.

“Sometimes when we have a long ride in the van or airplane, the boys start to tell their stories. It’s fun to not compare but share stories together. I just feel there’s a lot of music left to be done.”

In his band, Gilby Clarke serves as the “road captain, guitarist and lead vocalist.”

DINING

Wake and Late

Breakfast burrito baron believes in Pasadena

By Frier McCollister Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

By 9:15 a.m. July 24, a line of expectant foodies had formed on Colorado Boulevard, snaking from the entrance of the former Cordon Bleu test kitchen on the corner of Oakland Avenue. Large stand umbrellas had been erected halfway down the block to provide some modest shade for the growing crowd.

What was the morning draw? Complimentary breakfast burritos and beverages to announce the arrival and opening of Wake and Late, owner Ben Richter’s ambitious foray into expanding on the success of his bustling DTLA outlet on Second Street, which first opened in 2016.

As the line of breakfast burrito enthusi-

asts began to stretch eastward down the block, cheery servers emerged with carts dispensing fresh cinnamon rolls and beverages to the crowd as well. The line moved along fairly swiftly. On arriving at the tightly hemmed order counter, who was dispensing the neatly boxed fresh burritos? None but Richter himself, living the dream.

The launch in Pasadena represents the first step in Richter’s calculated campaign to take over the breakfast world. Soon, the space will have seating for 60 diners and the vast space will become as evident as Richter’s expansive ambition for the operation.

The currently modest takeout lobby masks a huge 14,000-square-foot industrial kitchen, now also outfitted to rollout Wake and Late’s next product: fresh bagels.

“We’ve been working on a bagel program. It’s going to be a ‘rip and dip’ bagel program. Launching in about two months when we launch the interior (for seating),” Richter explained.

Rip and dip? “So, you know how you used to eat bagels when they would come out hot from the oven and you would just tear it apart and dunk it into cream cheese? We are going to offer that experience at every moment of the day,” Richter noted enthusiastically.

Richter’s expansion plans for Wake and Late had been hinted and otherwise announced as early as 2021, with plans for outlets in Hollywood and Santa Monica. The Pasadena location will now provide the central hub for the expansion.

“Ninety percent of our production will come out of here,” Richter said.

“By the end of the year, we will be active in five units. We’re building every day in Hollywood (opening) in two or three months. We’re opening in West Hollywood in two months. We have a location in Santa Monica that we’re building but it’s five or six months away. Once we’re in production mode, this place will really be humming. To go to a commissary mode, you have to change all of your systems. It was a great project and so much fun. It’s all working now. It’s flowing.”

When the dining area is open the kitchen operation will be fully visible to customers.

“For us, we want to be showing people

Pasadena’s Wake and Late, owned by Ben Richter, has become known for its breakfast burritos

what we’re doing and what we’re about and what we’re trying to do here. So, when we walked in here and saw the infrastructure that was here, it was really a no-brainer. We knew it would be a lift, but now every inch of this space is operable,” Richter explained.

“I always wanted our commissary — once we got there — I wanted the people to be able to see that and feel that as a customer. There are very few experiences in the country where you can see a factory and a restaurant. It’s such an energy.”

The menu at Wake and Late is quite simple. Limited to a selection of five artisanal breakfast burritos, priced between $13 (for vegetarian) to $17.50 (for steak). As proven at Wake and Late’s original Downtown location, the popular interest in these burritos and their subsequent success for Richter is undeniable. Why bagels now?

“We were about to expand to these locations as exclusively breakfast burrito operations. As we looked to expand our footprint, the question we asked was, ‘Who are we speaking to and what question do we want to be answering?’ It’s always about breakfast to me as a category, not breakfast burritos exclusively. Not every

person who eats breakfast eats breakfast burritos. Look, it’s not my go-to, really it’s not,” Richter admitted.

“We asked ourselves, after the breakfast burrito, what would be the equivalent volume-type product that we can sell. Naturally, it’s really a bagel. Bagels are high-volume sellers. They’re not a fad. They’re highly sought-out. OK, we’re going to go make bagels. It’s going to be our next hero product and our last hero product.”

With his references to product scalability, categories and sales volume, one may not be surprised to learn that Richter is not rolling up the burritos himself. “I’m not a chef by any means.

“I got into food in college,” he explained. Attending Duke University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Richter caught the entrepreneurship bug and with two partners started a breakfast preorder room service delivery operation for the campus in 2012.

“I was up at 4:30 in the morning every day my junior and senior years. It was nuts. That was a great experience. It worked. We were killing it,” he recalled. After graduating from Duke with a degree in statistics, the Los Angeles native took a

corporate position at Amazon in Seattle, at the behest of his parents.

Richter soon became restless and reconvened with his partners to launch the model they developed at Duke, as a proto-ghost kitchen delivery operation, serving the USC campus from the downtown location. When it was slow to takeoff, struggling to produce consistent quality, his partners left. Richter dug in and narrowed his focus.

“We flipped it with no money left in our bank account and I said, ‘We’re going to create the first and best breakfast burrito operation that there is,’” Richter recalled.

“I needed some industry experts to help me out.” He partnered with “Top Chef” competitor, chef Jackson Kalb. “He’s awesome. We retooled the line, and we were off and running. Through word of mouth, not one dollar spent on marketing, it just grew every week and continues to grow every single week, from that moment on. It’s been the most fun roller coaster. At the end of the day, I just ended up falling in love with every part of this business.”

At Wake and Late currently, Richter employs a staff of 40. That number is expected to grow to 125 by the end of the year. Maintaining a culture of care and excellence is at

the heart of Richter’s business model.

“We want to be the best at what we’re doing. That’s our ethos. If you can operate at your best while you’re at this company and you can go take that into your life, that mindset, that ability, this can translate so far into your life, with your relationships, with everything. How can we make the best environment for our teams to be successful and to feel like they’re a part of the family?” Richter mused.

After personally slinging out a few hundred free breakfast burritos to genuine acclaim on the Monday opening of Wake and Late, Richter seems quite well poised to conquer the greater breakfast world. His impressive location in Pasadena is now the beating heart of a soon-to-be burgeoning empire.

Richter summed up his ambition philosophically. “We really love breakfast. Breakfast is a spiritual experience. It’s so ritualistic for people. For us to be that part of someone’s day, we really try to make it a good time. And we love this town!”

Feeding with Love

Chef Tiana Gee hosting her first pop-up brunch

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Chef/creative Tiana Gee will celebrate her Filipina and Black heritage with her Sunday, Aug. 27, pop-up, SoulPhil, at Redbird in DTLA.

For $120 per person, guests can enjoy Not Granny’s Shrimp and Grits (sawsawan glazed prawns, summer succotash, creamy corn grips and okra chips); banana pudding French toast (coconut pudding-stuffed brioche bites, Nilla Wafers, banana caramel, whipped cream and bananas); chicken and waffles (buttermilk fried chicken, spicy maple gastrique, ube waffle and peaches); and adobo short rib hash (adobo marinated Westholme Wagyu short ribs, roasted summer vegetables and farm fresh egg).

“My pop-up is my outlet to speak about what my food means to me and

showcase that,” said Gee, whose mother is Filipino and dad is Black.

“My friends always said, ‘You’re so much more Filipino or so much more Black when, in fact, I’m both of those things. This is my way of showcasing who I am in the form of food.”

A Glendale native, Gee began her journey as a chef at the age of 17 but has been cooking “my whole existence pretty much.”

“To be honest, I feel like it was just natural for me,” she said. “I would tell my mom at 5 that I was going to be a chef. I spent a lot of time with both grandmothers cooking and being in the kitchen, exploring my own love for food. It’s my first language.”

Known as “Tee,” she has worked in the LA food scene and then took her skills to New York to be the sous chef at her mentor, Marcus Samuelson’s Harlem eatery, Red Rooster.

“I’ve learned pretty much from all of my mentors,” she said. “I’ve taken all the techniques and fundamentals of being a chef and learning how to learn and respect food. I represent everything I’ve learned in my pop-up.”

She’s the star of the YouTube channel “Cookin’ with Tee,” where she shares recipes and techniques for home cooks, and was featured on “Chopped Next Gen” and “It’s CompliPlated.” The Redbird event is her first brunch, but she has hosted dinners in New York, LA and Virginia.

“I love cooking,” she said. “I don’t know what I would be doing if this wasn’t a thing.”

Janeane Bernstein discusses Better Humans: What the Mental Health Pandemic Teaches Us about Humanity

AUG. 24

When a global pandemic exacerbated a preexisting mental health crisis, the United States was left with a mental health pandemic. This opened a Pandora’s box revealing what was long denied — we must prioritize mental health in all aspects of society, eliminate disparities and stigma, and become better humans. Depression, anxiety, violence, substance abuse and mental health illnesses soared. Children lost parents, millions lost jobs, and thousands of teachers and health and wellness professionals abandoned their fields. It’s time to silence our distractions; listen; and create transformative, sustainable strategies that prioritize the health and well-being of humanity.

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 representa tive appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issu-

ance of letters to a general personal representa tive, 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 knowledgea ble 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.

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. 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 (949)860-9155 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www. chtrustdeed.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 23-100149. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (949) 3058901, or visit this internet website, www.chtrus tdeed.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-100149 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days af-

ter the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Please take notice that if the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Further, if the foreclosure sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid and shall have no further recourse or remedy against the Mortgagor, Mortgagee, or Trustee herein. If you have previously been discharged in bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this notice is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are notified that a negative credit reporting may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation.

For Trustee’s sale dates, bids and postponement information, please call (949) 860-9155 or visit www.chtrus tdeed.com.

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’s sale postponeme nts be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 or visit this internet website www.nation wideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-10713. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected

in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE
