Here’s a starting point for Women’s History Month

By Ellen Snortland Pasadena Weekly Columnist

What should I read if I want to learn about women’s history?” my student asked. I’ve been promoting Women’s History Month in my March writing classes. “How far back do you want to go? I could start you off with the Greek or Nordic pantheon of badass women. They’re mythological but also historical.” “I’d prefer women who actually lived,” she said.

I said, “I would start with an influencer of great depth and breadth, Mary Wollstonecraft. Often referred to as the “grandmother” of Frankenstein, Wollstonecraft’s daughter, Mary Shelley, is considered the first science fiction author. Ironically, Mary Shelley’s birth killed her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft — not the childbirth itself, but eight days later from “bed fever” due to unsanitary practices by male physicians.

In 1792, Wollstonecraft was a British firebrand, philosopher, traveler and writer. She shook up the English-speaking world with her book, “A Vindication of the Rights of Women,” the first known societywide conversation about the essence of feminine versus masculine as a social construct instead of biological. For the most part, it’s been the initiative of women to challenge so-called gender norms, norms that are impossible to live up to and equally impossible to ignore.

Two-hundred-thirty years later, we now have a plentiful public discourse beyond simply women’s studies geeks. … Hallelujah! A classic indicator of this progress is the pushback that inevitably arises. Case in point: Florida non-Gov. DeSantis, a wannabe full of totalitarian aspirations if ever there was one. He now wants to ban women’s history in the classroom.

I never thought I’d see our current conversations around “toxic masculinity,” partially due to the recent decade’s cascade effects of #metoo, #timesup, the Kavanaugh confirmation, etc. Some men react to all this by whining like little boys: Their delicate egos are offended as their “god-like” societal status is finally being broadly challenged. Hey, man up! The men we love, who value relationships, family and the more elegant aspects of life, have instead used these discussions for reflection.

On the other end of the spectrum is hyper-femininity, which I assert, in its most extreme expression, is also toxic. In my book “Beauty Bites Beast,” I describe the extremes of masculinity and femininity as “pathological.” According to the Collins Dictionary, pathological refers to people who behave in extreme and unacceptable ways and have powerful feelings they cannot control.

DeSantis has signed several pieces of pathological legislation at the state level; Tennessee dictator Bill Lee followed suit by signing a law squelching drag performers. Florida is a petri dish of anti-progressive germs. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the “Don’t Say Gay” state’s repressive policies would spread elsewhere to counter the growing societal awareness of gender fluidity. The question of personhood —who are the arbiters of whether one is “enough” — is central to such legislation.

For me, I have behaviors that are simply human and yet are considered masculine, like my right to set and maintain boundaries. The influential men in my life have all been artists of one type or another and didn’t belong to the “Men’s Club,” preferring to relate to others as humans. They had enough self-esteem to allow me to shine like a goddess.

Speaking of goddesses, once again, I will be a “Goddess Guide” for a women’s wellness retreat. Say the word “goddess,” and many of us experience negative reactions, especially if we fall outside the narrow window of what conventional wisdom says a goddess is or isn’t. Not white? Not blonde? Not cisgender? Not “feminine” enough? Not commercially or conventionally beautiful? Not young or too young? That leaves out a lot of us! Not surprisingly, even the women whom others would call a “goddess” rarely relate to themselves that way, focusing on their deficiencies instead of their divinity.

Thanks to my hubby’s research, he discovered Elli, the perfect goddess

role model. Elli is the Norse goddess of age and wisdom, two qualities American women feel obligated to hide! Elli rose to prominence in the Norse myths by — drum roll, please — wrestling Thor to the ground. Yes, Thor was dominated by an older and stronger woman! Let that sink in, then allow yourself to ponder why Elli has been historically invisible for so long.

Elli is my exemplar: As a Norwegian American, my childhood nickname was Ellie! At my current age, I’m supposed to go to pasture by most traditional standards of female power. I have genuinely grappled with gender norms for decades now, and I’m clear that I don’t want to damage or maim men; I do want to wrestle archaic notions of so-called male superiority and unhealthy “maleness” to the ground until they yell “Aunt!” instead of “Uncle!”

Climbing Capitol Hill

Mayor Bass backs Feuer for Congress

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

Following Congressmember Adam Schiff’s decision to run for the U.S. Senate, former Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer has been endorsed by Mayor Karen Bass to fill the 30th Congressional District seat. Bass called Feuer a “longtime colleague and friend” and insisted that, as a member of Congress, he would “deliver for Los Angeles.”

“It was wonderful to get Mayor Bass’ support the day I announced my candidacy for this office … because it displays her confidence in our ability to work together to make the kind of change that we need here in our region,” Feuer said. “This is the most urgent time in our nation for strong leadership that we’ve ever had. … With Congressman Schiff, we’ve had a congressmember who has been a real leader nationally, and the question is for his successor, ‘Who has the guts and the horsepower to step in and make a big mark right away?’ … I intend to do so as a member of Congress.”

Feuer, a native of the 30th district, has served as a member of LA City Council from 1995 to 2001, as majority policy leader and chairman of the judiciary committee in the California State Assembly from 2006 to 2012, and as LA city attorney from 2013 to 2022. He was also the executive director of nonprofit law firm Bet Tzedek Legal Services.

As a member of Congress, Feuer would look to address issues that are on both national and local scales, such as homelessness.

“I’m the only candidate in this race who is focused on assuring that we have a very close partnership with the federal government on homelessness and creating affordable housing,” Feuer said. “Our region needs a champion on both resources to address homelessness, to create affordable housing, and to change key rules that will make it easier for us to address issues like the mental health emergency that we have on our streets right now.”

Feuer restated President Joe Biden’s goal to reduce homelessness across the nation by 25% by 2025 and said that the 30th district should serve as the laboratory for employing successful strategies that cut through “bureaucratic red tape” to address housing insecurity and affordability.

“We can’t afford to lose people, especially young people who are looking at their fu-

tures that could be very bright but are wondering whether those futures are compatible with the cost of living in this region,” Feuer said. “There is this great feeling of uncertainty. We know it. The pandemic has exposed it and deepened it. People are … wondering about their personal family security. They’re grappling with an economy where wages are not keeping up with inflation. The cost of living is a huge issue.

“I’m going to be a very crucial partner with the leaders of our region when it comes to bringing resources to Los Angeles from the Federal Housing and Urban Development Department, which provides, for example, funding for Section 8 vouchers. … There are federal rules that restrict our capacity to build mental health facilities that we need. I’m going to be leading an effort to change those rules.”

Feuer’s track record on local and national issues also includes writing California’s same-day voter registration law to combat voter suppression efforts; enforcing the FACT Act that ensures crisis pregnancy centers inform patients of all reproductive options and services available to them, including abortion; co-chairing the Prosecutors Against Gun Violence coalition to help combat shootings; and bringing the leading lawsuit against SoCalGas for the Aliso Canyon gas leak, which he described as “one of the nation’s largest ever greenhouse gas emergencies.”

“For me, public service is about making the biggest impact possible,” Feuer said. “With so many urgent issues that demand not just a vote, but leadership in Congress, I’m prepared to step in on day one and take on the most important issues we confront and do it in a way that’s reflected my whole career making big change happen. I still believe that one person focused on that can be a catalyst for major change. I’ve done it again and again, and I want to do it on Capitol Hill.”

When asked about the ethos he brings into a political leadership position, Feuer pointed to his record of crossing over party lines in order to enact change. He said that, though public speaking skills help in conveying points of view, the ability to listen to others and negotiate is vital.

“It’s important to listen carefully to what your constituents want, to what your colleague is really saying to you as you try to fashion a way to connect the most important desires of your constituents to making real change happen,” Feuer explained. “That requires listening. … It requires having a deep, detailed knowledge of the key issues. It requires the ability to inspire people, not only in one’s district, inspiring constituents, but also inspiring colleagues. It requires the ability to have a sense of what matters most … to have your eye on the ball at what the top priorities are and stick to those priorities.”

Feuer also stressed the importance of in-

tegrity in forging trust among colleagues, as relationships built on trust can withstand disagreements and put legislation through.

“You have to be able to rise above,” he said. “I’ve learned that it’s very important to not just assume that people who may disagree with you on some issues will disagree (with you) on others. When I was a state legislator, for example, I found it possible that even though I had an extremely progressive voting record in Sacramento, I also was able to get, not all the time, but sometimes, people from across the aisle, Republicans, to join me.”

Feuer recalled wanting to put through a bill that would have nursing homes post their quality-of-care ratings (Assembly Bill 399). To encourage the bill’s progress, Feuer stepped across party lines.

“I know how important it is for people in distress, who are very vulnerable, to make a clear decision about a place that’ll have good conditions for their loved ones,” Feuer said about the bill. “I reached out to a Republican member of the assembly, and I said, ‘Look, let’s work together on this to display that we can, at one of the most hyperpartisan moments in California.’ This is when Gov. Schwarzenegger was governor; it was the midst of the Great Recession. We did it together, and that bill passed.”

In the race for Congressmember Adam Schiff’s seat, Feuer said that one of the distinguishing features of his candidacy is his “horsepower” and urgency to combat crises so that resident of the 30th district can see progress from day one.

“Whether it’s their ability to make ends meet or our ability to grapple with the climate crisis, whether it’s helping to assure that we are successfully grappling with our homelessness emergency in ways we can see and touch and feel on our streets or assuring that no child goes to school wondering if that’s the day there’s going to be a school shooting, I think that the residents of our district are really eager to assure that our democracy continues intact,” Feuer said. “I hope that the residents of this district will see an America that emerges stronger from the emergencies that we’ve endured recently. I want every family to feel a sense of optimism and hope that’s based on real achievement every day, when folks can go home at night and feel the political process isn’t broken.

“I’m very hopeful that we can emerge from the crises that we confront today and have residents of our district feel that every day things are getting better.”

Meeting the Demand

City council approves new pickleball courts

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

The popularity of the recreational racquet sport pickleball has exploded in recent years, becoming a nationwide craze since the start of the pandemic. The blend of tennis, badminton and table tennis was reportedly the fastest-growing sport in the United States from 2019 to 2021, with more than 4.8 million players by the end of 2022.

As the sport has grown in popularity, local infrastructure has not always been ready to meet the demand. Locations like McDonald and Allendale Park, home of the Pasadena Pickleball Group, have seen large crowds, particularly on weekend mornings, with wait times up to half an hour for a game.

In recognition of the city’s pickleball boom, Pasadena City Council recently approved a contract to build two temporary pickleball courts on Jefferson Elementary School’s campus, which is being leased to the city for library, police and fire department programs through November 2027. The courts are scheduled to be open from 8 a.m. to dusk on weekdays and from 9

a.m. to dusk on weekends.

“When (the city) rented the space from the school district, they tried to keep it the way it was, which means nobody’s there are night, hence we can’t have any lights on those courts,” Pasadena resident Bruce Bailey said during the city council meeting.

He recommended that the city conduct a survey of the homes surrounding the courts to see if local residents would object to leaving the courts open after dark.

“There are already lights on the roof of the building, all you have to do is turn them on,” Bailey said. “And right now, if you limit play until dusk, that averages 6 o’clock, you’re losing four hours of playtime a day and that’s when everybody that works gets to play. Every night, Allendale is full because it’s the only lit court in the city. We’d like to get this one lit a well if we can.”

Bailey also raised recommended alterations to the site’s construction plan, such as increasing the space between the court and the fence to improve players’ safety.

“As far as the contract, it’s not built yet, so … we’ll work with the contractor (Golden Sun Enterprise) to see if it’s pos-

sible to make those adjustments,” replied Tony Olmos, director of public works. The project for the Jefferson School Pickleball Courts is set to cost no more

than $169,944, which will include the base contract amount of $147,777 and a contingency cost of $22,167 to account for any changes to the site.

Pasadena’s new pickleball courts will be built at the former Jefferson Elementary School campus currently leased to the city.

‘If You Rest, You Rust’

At 85, Bob Eubanks doesn’t plan on retiring

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Bob Eubanks has been involved with rodeos, producing concerts, hosting game shows and motivational speaking. He really enjoys his “Backstage with the Beatles” presentations.

He will be joined by the Beatles tribute band Ticket to Ride at the Ambassador Auditorium at 8 p.m. Monday, March 20, as part of the Distinguished Speaker Series.

Eubanks has been a familiar face on TV since the ’60s. He’s best known as host of the daytime and nighttime versions of “The Newlywed Game” on ABC and coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade for 36 years.

Before that, he was a rock ’n’ roll DJ in Los Angeles and a music promoter. He’s the only living person to have produced and financed a Beatles concert all three years they toured America. He produced their 1964 and 1965 Hollywood Bowl gigs, and the 1966 Dodger Stadium concert.

Eubanks will share how he persuaded the Beatles to come to LA and his experiences with the band, their manager, Brian Ep-

stein, and fans who accompanied the act.

“I tell seldom heard or never heard before stories about the Beatles,” he said.

“I have a Beatles band on tap, Ticket to Ride. It’s a really fun show. The wonderful folks at the Distinguished Speaker Series heard about it and called me. I said I would love to do it. They’re such a wonderful little organization in Southern California.”

Eubanks said he’s had a “wonderful” career and is happy to share highlights with fans and the public.

“I was a DJ for a long time and then I opened a series of young adult nightclubs,” he said.

“I got into the concert business, and I did every act, concertwise, like the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. In 1972, I got out of rock ’n’ roll and went into country music. I signed Merle Haggard, and we were together for 10 years.”

He also managed Dolly Parton for two years, as well as Barbara Mandrell and one of the Everly Brothers.

Eubanks has hosted 11 game shows and led the “Newlywed Game” one and off for five decades.

For 38 years Eubanks hosted the Emmy Award-winning Tournament of Roses Parade for Tribune Broadcasting and the Hallmark Channel. His parade ratings were consistently twice those of the other channels combined, he said.

Eubanks, who attended Pasadena High School growing up in La Crescenta, has a secret to his success.

“My theory is take what you know how to do and apply it to other areas,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been able to do. I took my radio career and was able to get into the concert business.”

Besides “Backstage with the Beatles,” he hosts the touring show “Hollywood’s Greatest Game Shows.”

“There are 42 contestants and nine different games,” he said. “At the end, someone has the chance to win $1 million. I’m also getting ready to do a podcast. I’m having a good time being 85 years old. I don’t have any plans to quit.

“A friend of mine said, ‘If you rest, you rust.’ What I do is about as far away from work as you can possible be and still earn a living. It’s just so much fun.”

The Distinguished Speaker Series of Pasadena: Bob Eubanks

WHEN: 8 p.m. Monday, March 20

WHERE: Ambassador Auditorium, 131 S. St. John Avenue, Pasadena COST: Tickets start at $170 for the rest of the series, which includes Ken Burns. Single-speaker tickets are not available.

Bob Eubanks returns to Pasadena for the Distinguished Speaker Series at Ambassador Auditorium.

DINING

Great Maple

CEO Amanda Ho brings home the all-day menu

By Frier McCollister Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Pasadena means something to Great Maple’s co-owner and CEO Amanda Ho.

She graduated from the Cordon Bleu culinary institute here in 2009 and lived in Pasadena for a decade.

The third outpost of her San Diego-based mini-chain successfully planted itself at the Paseo on Colorado Boulevard in 2017, occupying a smartly rehabbed retail space with great visibility and curb appeal. The venue quickly became one of the more popular dining tent poles at the bustling local mall.

“I never dreamed when I graduated from culinary school that I would get to own (a restaurant) at this historic location,” Ho said.

“We are right on the corner of the Garfield promenade and Colorado, which is situated right between city hall and the convention center. The Garfield promenade is considered an historic thoroughfare. Back in 2017, when we opened, we had worked with the city, gone to many board meetings, and worked with the landlord at the time to really think about how to reimagine these spaces as a cornerstone, if you will.”

The thriving venue also quietly receded and seemed to all but disappear as the Paseo and its surroundings transformed into a veritable ghost town during the pandemic lockdown and the very slow return to “normalcy.” The series of turns with the changing pandemic protocols was particularly challenging at Great Maple.

“Unfortunately, we shuttered twice,” Ho said.

“We were in the process of reopening; I believe it was July the fourth. We had employees literally sitting on our patio being onboarded for our reopening, when the COVID rules changed again and we realized that in light of those changes, we would not have a viable business model. We shuttered again.

“That’s why we quietly and tenuously came back out of the ashes, and now standing strong with our new all-day menu and new things on the horizon, we’re ready to say loud and proud, ‘We’re here. We’re not going anywhere.’ It feels good to feel good now, to feel confident.”

Great Maple is introducing a new all-day menu concept to Pasadena as Ho and her team prepare to launch their next opening at Disneyland, later this year.

“In the summer of this year we will be opening a new location in Anaheim, inside the Pixar Place Hotel,” Ho said.

“We have the honor of not only operating a Great Maple, but also we will be the imagination behind the food and beverage offerings at the hotel in total, so there’s three other outlets. We will be the culinary minds behind all three. So, we’re very excited about this.”

Besides the flagship location in San Diego, Newport Beach is home to their first Orange County operation at Fashion Island.

Ho won’t allow Great Maple to be dismissed as just another mall-based chain.

“The minute you get from one location to even just two locations, people want to say, ‘This is a chain,’” Ho said.

“This is not a chain. This is a restaurant group run by partners, people. With just three locations now and even though we are about to do this whole big thing (at Disneyland), it just doesn’t change the fact that we are a very Southern California, local group. I don’t want to lose that touch point and that perspective, because it feels disingenuous to who we are and how hard individuals in our group work. This is not a nameless, faceless company. That’s really important to me.”

There seems to be a fresh optimism at Great Maple. As Colorado Boulevard rouses back to life, this cornerstone dining venue at the Paseo is now very much a part of it.

“We just continue to be excited about the future of Pasadena,” Ho said.

“We have launched a new version of the menu. That’s what a lot of this reintroduction to the community was about. Historically, we have just been very quiet about telling our story. So, we feel now is the right time to come out and be more open and share the nuances behind it all.”

The all-day menu includes their breakfast and dinner offerings available at any time,

along with new items, including beverages. “We have switched to an all-day menu model, which we’re really excited about,” Ho said.

“So, you can have breakfast all day and you can have dinner all day. You’re welcome to come in and order our soda pop ribs for breakfast and add a side of eggs, which I highly recommend. Or you’re welcome to come in and have pancakes for dinner, which was always a favorite of mine when I was younger. It helps us execute at a really high level with consistency all day long, because you’re not starting and stopping any one item. It also makes our guests happy because we never have to say no. It’s all there, all the time.”

In addition to the soda pop baby back ribs, served with hot honey slaw and a black pepper cheddar biscuit ($24), other new menu items include a 14-ounce bone-in ribeye steak with bleu cheese vinaigrette and French fries ($36) and the lemon shrimp pasta with garlic lemon butter, white wine and fresh Parmesan ($26). All of the usual house favorites are still there and now available all day: portobello mushroom fries ($16), turkey Bolognese ($23), and fried chicken and doughnuts ($22).

On the beverage menu, Ho has introduced zero-proof mocktails — otherwise referred to as “free spirits” here — including the Catalina Spritz, a nod to the Aperol cocktail, and a fruity take on a gin and tonic, the Pretty in Pink ($10). “The beverage is as much about the culinary journey as the food, but it doesn’t mean it has to be alcoholic,” Ho said.

“We consider ourselves a modern American eatery. What does that mean? We serve

American classics but also things that have become American classics in a more modern time, and we try to put our own nuance into them.”

A sense of pride, gratitude and a new interest in connecting with the local community informs Ho’s perspective and the current spirit at Great Maple.

“I went to culinary school down the street,” she said emotionally.

“I lived in an apartment on Arroyo, out of college with my best friend. My 20s were spent in Pasadena. Being able to open this restaurant in 2017 was a surreal dream come true.

“What I never expected was the team and the people we found in this community who stayed so loyal to us. I’m not just talking about the customers. I’m talking about the servers, the bartenders, the dishwashers, the cooks, the bussers, the runners that showed up despite adversity day in and day out. They worked so hard for this to be successful. You can’t pay people to care. We have a team that cares deeply. I want them to be successful. I want this community to support them. I’m honored to have this team and so grateful.

“Given the trajectory of the businesses around us over the last few months and years, it was important for us to say, ‘Hey, we’re still here. We’re still alive.’ We are not only surviving but thriving and charging forward. So come get to know us.”

Amanda Ho is CEO and co-owner of Great Maple.

Great Maple opened at the Paseo on Colorado Boulevard in 2017.

ARTS & CULTURE

Breaking Barriers

Sheldon Epps tells his story in ‘My Own Directions’

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Sheldon Epps has directed major productions on and off Broadway, in London and theaters across America.

He admitted it’s been a rollercoaster ride, as it came with its highs and lows. Epps has frequently been called “one of the few,” “the first” or “the only.”

Pasadena Playhouse’s artistic director for two decades, Epps traces his career in his book “My Own Directions: A Black Man’s Journey in American Theatre.”

“I’m very thrilled and it’s doing very well, selling briskly,” said Epps, who serves as senior artistic adviser at history Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C.

“Honestly, this is my first book and my first venture into the publishing world. I didn’t know what to expect. It’s been nice that there’s been real solid interest in the book. From what Amazon tells me, it’s up there on

the charts.”

When Epps left Pasadena Playhouse in 2017, friends suggested he write a book. He asked, “Why?”

“They said I’ve had a very unique journey in the American theater, being one of the only Black artistic directors in the country during that time,” he recalled.

“And then I started to think about it. ‘OK, that would make sense.’ I do think I have a story to tell.”

Epps sat down and started writing during the pandemic, when theaters — and every form of art — closed down.

“Around the same time, the BLM movement hit and out of that grew some strong and vehement conversations about race and the American theater,” he said.

“It seemed timely. People would say, ‘This is the first time we’re hearing about this.’ No, it wasn’t. I talked to them directly 15 to 20 years ago. This problem has been with us, but it was pushed under the earth. Now we’re re-

ally unearthing it and talking about it much more strongly.”

“My Own Directions” shares how he came into leadership at Pasadena Playhouse. It relates how the theater was radically changed and reignited by his leadership, including his insistence on making diversity a priority onstage and off.

Based in Pasadena, Epps said he does enjoy the village aspect of theater — working with composers, musicians, actors, artists and designers.

“I love working with a group of people to make a world come to life onstage,” he said. “The fact that it is alive, it is ever-changing, and each performance is different — a circle of energy created between the actors and audiences that goes back to the audience — that makes it unique and special. An audience can and does change a performance from night to night. I love to watch it. I wouldn’t have spent 20 years doing that otherwise.”

Epps said he feels lucky. He grew up in Compton and saw his first professional production at age 8 at Pasadena Playhouse.

“I remember the first time I directed there, years later, walking through the courtyard, I had this sense of déjà vu. Finally, the memories came back to me. I asked the volunteer usher, ‘Am I imaging this or did Ethel Waters do a play here many, many years ago?’ It was a lifelong bond to the theater.”

That bond has been productive. He conceived and directed the Duke Ellington musical “Play On!,” which received three Tony Award nominations and was produced at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, where it received four Jefferson Awards including Best Musical. The Pasadena Playhouse production was filmed by PBS for broadcast as part of the “Great Performances” series.

He also conceived and directed “Blues in the Night.” The Broadway production was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical of the Year, and the London production, which he also directed, was nominated for two Laurence Olivier Awards and ran for over a year on the West End before being broadcast in Europe by Thames Television. His 2018 production of the show in Los Angeles

set box office records at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Arts.

Epps is credited with the rejuvenation and rebirth of Pasadena Playhouse. His directing credits include “Fences” starring Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett, among other productions. He continues his association with the theater as artistic director emeritus.

Epps was a co-founder of the off-Broadway theater The Production Company, where he staged the world premiere of “Scenes and Revelations,” which he also directed on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre.

Epps has directed plays and musicals for many of the country’s major theaters, including the Guthrie, the Old Globe Theatre, Manhattan Theatre Club, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Playwrights Horizons, Crossroads Theatre, Cleveland Play House, Arizona Theatre Company, People’s Light Theatre, Laguna Playhouse and the Encores Series in New York.

For television, he directed episodes of “The Upshaws,” “Family Reunion,” “Frasier,” “Friends,” “The George Lopez Show,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Hannah Montana,” “Instant Mom,” “Evening Shade” and “Sister, Sister,” as well as several pilots. For five seasons he was also producer/director for the hit series “Girlfriends.” In recognition of his work in television, he was invited to be the Pankey chair/filmmaker in residence at Chapman University.

Through all this, he said he felt he was being judged because it was rare for a Black man to be in his position.

“I feel like they were waiting for me to fail,” he said. “They don’t think you should have been there in the first place. So, not only did I have to do the job, I had to prove I could do it. Having done that, I’m happy to say that’s no longer the case. There are lots of men and women of color running theaters.”

Honoring Hahamongna

Arroyo Seco Foundation celebrates 30th year anniversary

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

Fed by the Angeles National Forest, Hahamongna Watershed Park lies at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and extends to Devil’s Gate Dam, forming a 1,300-acre wildlife corridor home to a bounty of biodiversity.

Tim Brick, managing director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, described it as “the most important environmental treasure in this area because of the way that nature comes together there. … The Arroyo’s always been a very special place. And in many ways, Hahamongna is the most special place because of the transition zone that it represents between the mountain watershed and the urban plane.”

To celebrate the park’s 30th anniversary, the Arroyo Seco Foundation and the California Art Club are hosting “the Great Hahamongna Paint-Out and Walkabout” from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 18. The event will encourage exploration and artistic expression through a range of family friendly activities at art tables and learning stations dotted throughout the park.

“When Pasadena established Hahamongna Watershed Park 30 years ago, it was really a sign of increasing stewardship for the natural environment and also honoring our Indigenous ancestors (the Tongva) as well, so that’s part of the inspiration,” Brick said. “Recently, we’ve had such dry conditions for most of the last 10 years. It’s really kind of wonderful to see all of the rain this year. … We want to say to everybody, ‘Hey, nature’s coming back to Hahamongna, and it’s really something that we should be celebrating and protecting.’”

The free event, based out of the park’s eastern parking lot on North Explorer Road, will allow participants to embark on guided walking tours of the park’s trails, where they’ll find environmental learning stations staffed by local environmental and recreational groups like the Pasadena Audubon Society, Outward Bound Adventures, Arlington Gardens, Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy, and Friends of the Los Angeles River.

The three points of interest on the walkabout are the park’s canyon, where participants will learn about balancing water extraction with environmental sustainability;

Devil’s Gate Dam, where participants will learn about the LA County Sediment Management Program and the importance of stabilizing the groundwater basin; and the native plant nursey built by the U.S. Forest Service, which the Arroyo Seco Foundation hopes to transform into an environmental education center.

“It’s really going to be a fun event, and it’s going to be a journey of exploration for people (to) enhance people’s appreciation and their ability to … be better stewards of the land,” Brick described. “(Hahamongna Watershed Park) is kind of our Walden Pond, if you will, the place where people from our area can go and really sit down and reflect … and let nature put its waves of relaxation and philosophical questioning over us. It’s a real special place for many people in this area, and it’s been protected as long as people lived in this area.”

Throughout the event, there will be more than 30 artists from the California Art Club creating new works inspired by their surroundings in the park. Participants are encouraged to join the artists in painting at the park’s public art stations.

“The California Art Club is such a wonderful institution, and they have most of the best of the California impressionist painters, the ‘plein air’ outdoor painters, who have created such beautiful work in the last hundred years about nature in California … and the Arroyo Seco was really one of the most prized places to paint for these painters,” Brick said. “We have artists today that are doing similar work and are really taking the grandeur of nature and churning it into artistic creations that everyone can enjoy.

“For people to come and see that work, it

really puts a magnifying glass on nature when you see the art that is based on that nature. It really does inspire a certain sense of awe and respect. … I think it’ll inspire a certain kind of reverence and respect for the Hahamongna area, for the Arroyo Seco and for the wonderful blessings that we’ve been given.”

The paintings made by the California Art Club artists during “the Great Hahamongna Paint-Out and Walkabout” will be used for an exhibition called “The Diverse Environment of the Arroyo Seco” that will be on view at the Pasadena Museum of History from Wednesday, Oct. 4, to Sunday, Jan. 28.

Brick expressed hope that both the event and the exhibition will emphasize the importance of protecting Hahamongna Watershed Park, whose name means “Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley” in the language of the Tongva people, as well as its habitats and native species, including endangered birds like the Least Bell’s Vireo and anadromous fish like the steelhead trout.

“It’s going to be a wonderful experience for people that come, and it’s going to be different than other events like this in that it’s going to really combine art and nature and what people can do in order to deal with the environmental challenges of the future, like climate change and the variability of weather that we’re going to see in the future from climate change and the challenge that we have for securing municipal water supplies,” Brick said. “We’re very much for nature-based solutions for the future and really think that’s the way to go. And I think people are going to pick up a sense of that from the event on Saturday, March 18.”

World-Renowned Talents

Restoration Concert features Thies, Peacock

By Pasadena Weekly Staff

Pianist Robert Thies and violinist

Kerenza Peacock will perform music by Brahms, Schumann, Mozart and Debussy during the Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library’s Restoration Concert at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 19.

The concert will be held in the library community room at 1115 El Centro Street in South Pasadena. Tickets will be available at the door for $25. Mask wearing is optional but strongly recommended.

Thies captured worldwide attention in 1995 when he won the gold medal at the second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia.

With this victory, Thies became the only American pianist to win first prize in a Russian piano competition since Van Cliburn’s famed triumph in Moscow in 1958.

Praised for his “thoughtful and intensely moving interpretations” Thies enjoys a diverse career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist and chamber musician.

He has performed 40 concerti around the world with orchestras like the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Liepāja Symphony (Latvia), Mexico City Philharmonic, the National Symphony of Mexico, Auckland Philharmonia (New Zealand), Louisville Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony, Virginia Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, Pasadena Symphony, Des Moines Symphony, and the Naples Philharmonic.

His concerts have been broadcast throughout the United States, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Bolivia, Hungary, Mexico and New Zealand.

Peacock is equally at home playing classical works by Vivaldi and Mozart as she is performing new works by young composers like Oliver Davis or letting her hair down playing fiddle with Anglo-American Bluegrass band The Coal Porters.

She has recorded as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra and received five-star reviews for her Vivaldi “Four Seasons,” but her view is broadened by the fact that she has recorded with the world’s most famous pop stars.

“Flight,” Peacock’s disc as concerto soloist with the London Symphony Or-

chestra, reached the top of the classical charts in the United Kingdom and United States in 2015.

Her recording of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” was selected as album of the week on Classic FM, and featured on BBC Radio 3.

“Dance,” her latest collaboration with Davis was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and joined its previous CDs at the top of the charts.

The Restoration Concerts Committee, a committee of the nonprofit, The Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library, strives to bring world-class music at an affordable price to the concertgoers in South Pasadena and surrounding communities.

The net proceeds from the concerts provide for restorations, enhancements and other benefits to the South Pasadena Library and Community Room.

There will be two more concerts this season. On Friday, April 21, violinist Roger Wilkie and Friends will be featured. Then on Sunday, May 28, the quartet in residence, The New Hollywood String Quartet, will return.

FEMBA Program ideal for working professionals

By Alison Stanton LA Downtown News Contributing Writer

For decades, busy executives and professionals who wanted to earn a Master of Business Administration would either have to find a way to juggle work and school or put their academic dreams on hold due to scheduling conflicts.

Thanks to the Fully Employed MBA (FEMBA) Program at Cal State LA Downtown, people who wish to pursue an MBA while continuing to work full time can do just that.

The FEMBA Program, which debuted at Cal State LA Downtown LA (DTLA) Campus in the spring of 2017, is an accelerated degree program where students can earn their MBA in only 16 months through a rigorous curriculum that includes in-person class meetings on Saturdays and remote assignments.

As Faculty Director Dr. Mine Üçok Hughes notes, the goal of the program is to provide an accelerated pathway to obtaining an MBA for midcareer business working professionals with three to five years of work experience who want to advance their careers while also keeping their jobs.

“In doing so, this allows them to build upon their experience; enhance their management, leadership and communication skills; all while remaining competitive in a global economy,” Hughes said. Since its launch, the FEMBA Program has definitely become a popular choice among full-time working professionals, Hughes added.

“The nine-week intensive Saturday in-person classes enable the students to balance their work during the week with their studies on the weekends. It helps the students strike a good balance,” Hughes said.

Cal State LA’s FEMBA Program is open to stu-

dents who have earned their undergraduate degree in a variety of fields, including business, economics, marketing, engineering, math/statistics or science.

The 41 students in the recent FEMBA cohort completed the program in November 2022 and the 36 students in the new cohort are scheduled to complete the program by fall of 2023. Over 90% of students who enroll in the FEMBA Program go on to graduate.

This accelerated MBA program is offered by Cal State LA’s College of Professional and Global Education (PaGE), in collaboration with the College of Business and Economics, an AACSB-accredited institution, Hughes noted.

Classes are taught by accomplished, award-winning faculty who teach at Cal State LA’s main university campus. The FEMBA Program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) as well.

The per-unit cost of the FEMBA Program is $975, Hughes said, and the total program cost of the program is $35,100 — a very affordable price when compared to other local MBA programs. The FEMBA tuition includes all program course materials, lunches and parking.

“Financial aid opportunities are available to students, but we also have students with employers who are willing to pay for their tuition as part of their professional growth,” she noted.

The application window opens each year on Oct. 1 and ends on May 31. Each accepted applicant belongs to a cohort, Hughes said.

Applying for the FEMBA Program requires an online application to Cal State. Apply at calstate.edu/apply, followed by the submission of a resume and official transcripts to the university.

“After submitting the required documents as noted on our program website, applicants who meet the requirements are invited to an interview for the program to determine the applicant’s qualifications within the program,” Hughes said, adding that the interview also provides the applicant with an opportunity to ask questions about the program.

Upon the Office of Admissions and Recruitment’s final review, qualified applicants are then notified that they have been formally accepted into the FEMBA Program.

Through her role as faculty coordinator, Hughes said her main function is to serve as the liaison between the College of Professional and Global Education (PaGE) and the College of Business and Economics.

“In addition to enhancing program quality and student experience, I facilitate each term’s course schedule and faculty appointments,” she said.

Hughes said she enjoyed seeing first-hand how working professionals who may have thought an MBA was out of their grasp can now earn a graduate degree that will help them to advance in their fields.

“Among the many reasons why people want to

pursue an MBA are knowledge acquisition and skills development, new job opportunities and promotion, and career development,” she said.

“One of the biggest advantages of an MBA is its appeal to students from various backgrounds as diverse as anthropology and criminal justice.”

In addition, she noted, an MBA allows working executives and professionals to build upon their experience; enhance their management, leadership, analytic and communication skills; and make an impact on their careers in an increasingly global economy.

While Hughes is definitely passionate about her work, and Cal State LA’s dedication to engagement, service and the public good, initially she was not sure she wanted to pursue a career in education.

“I come from a long line of university professors, and I am a fourth-generation college graduate, so I guess you can say it’s in my DNA,” she said.

“Despite resisting it at first, by happenstance, I found myself teaching at a university as well. Twenty-four years later, it is the part of my job that I found most rewarding.”

Hughes said she is proud to be part of a college whose mission is to transform lives and foster thriving communities across greater Los Angeles.

“FEMBA’s unique curriculum that provides a well-rounded, comprehensive professional education prepares the students to become future business leaders,” Hughes said.

Cal State LA’s DTLA Campus is located at 801 S. Grand Avenue, Suite 600, Los Angeles. For more information about the Fully Employed MBA (FEMBA) Program, call 1-888-541-3852 or visit https:// bit.ly/FEMBADTLA.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

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.

DONGYI (USA) TRADING GROUP, INC., a California corporation;

WENYING SUN, an individual; and DOES 150, inclusive,

Defendants

COMPLAINT FOR

(1) BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY

(2) SHAREHOLDER’S

DERIVATIVE ACTION FOR DAMAGES DUE TO BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY

(3) ACCOUNTING –REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT OF RE-

CEIVER

Plaintiff DONGYI (USA) TRADING GROUP, INC. (hereinafter referred to as “Plaintiff”), in the above-enti tled matter hereby allege the following: THE PARTIES

1. Plaintiff DONGYI (USA) TRADING GROUP, INC. (hereinafter referred to as “Plaintiff” or “Dongyi”) is a California corporation headquartered and doing the business of investment in Los Angeles County. Plaintiff is the 51% shareholder of Defendant SUNSHINE EDUCATION ACADEMY since November 2018.

2. Plaintiff is further informed and believes and hereon alleges that Defendant SUNSHINE EDUCATION ACADEMY (hereinafter referred to as or “Sunshine”) is a California corporation headquartered and doing the child education business Los Angeles County.

3. Plaintiff is informed and believes and hereon alleges that Defendant WENYING SUN (hereinafter referred to as “Sun”) is a resident of Los Angeles County, California. Plaintiff is further informed and believes and hereon alleges that Defendant Sun is a 49% shareholder of Defendant Sunshine since November 2018 and she has been the CEO and the General Manager of of Sunshine.

4. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the true names and capacities, whether individual, corporate, associate or otherwise, of Defendants Does 1 through 50, inclusive, are unknown to Plaintiff, and therefore sues said Defendants by such fictitious names. Plaintiff will seek leave to amend this Complaint to allege the true names, identities, and capacities of said Defendants when they have been ascertained.

Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that said Defendants are responsible in some manner for the events alleged in this Complaint.

5. At all times mentioned herein, Defendants, and each of them, were the agents, servants, and employees of each of the other Defendants, and at all times mentioned herein, were acting within the scope of said agency and employment, with the consent and ratification of the other Defendants

herein. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereon alleges that each of the fictitious Defendants is responsible for, and has contributed to, the matters hereinafter related giving rise to the damage suffered by Plaintiff, and Plaintiff therefore alleges each and every cause of action hereinafter set forth against each such Defendant and asks that their identity, capacity and particulars of the activities of each such Defendant may be incorporated herein by appropriate amendment hereto.

6. ALTER EGO: Plaintiff is informed and believes and therefore alleges that Defendant Sunshine, and at all times herein mentioned, was alter ego of Defendant Sun. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereon alleges that there exists, and at all times mentioned herein, a unity of interest and ownership between Defendant Sunshine and Defendant Sun, such that any individuality and separateness between the individual Defendant Sun and the business entity Defendant Sunshine have ceased. Defendant Sun have, at all times, exercised control and dominion over Defendant Sunshine with a disregard for the separate legal status of the entity in an attempt to defraud

Plaintiff. Adherence to the separate existence of Defendant Sunshine as separate entities distinct and separate from Defendant Sun would permit an abuse of the corporate privilege and would sanction fraud and promote injustice.

JURISDICTION AND VANUE

7. This Court is the proper court and this action is properly filed in Los Angeles County because Defendants’ obligations and lability arise therein and Defendants are residents in the County of Los Angeles.

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

8. Defendant Sunshine was established in September 2016 in the city of El Monte. Sunshine has been operating a successful child education business in the local community. Sunshine was fully owned by Defendant Sun until November 2018.

9. Plaintiff was established in 2017 and it later determined to invest an education business in Southern California. In November, 2018,

Plaintiff and Defendant Sunshine entered into an Investment Agreement, in which Plaintiff agreed to invest $200,000 in Defendant Sunshine for 51% its shares. Plaintiff duly paid the said investment amount and became the 51% shareholder of Sunshine afterwards.

10. Because Plaintiff’s owner is currently living in China, after Plaintiff invested Sunshine, Sunshine is, and has been during all relevant period of time, operated, managed and controlled by Defendant Sun only. Defendant Sun had been the director, officer, manager of Sunshine for all time.

11. In early 2022, Plaintiff requested Defendants, and each of them, to provide certain financial documents of Sunshine because Plaintiff was preparing a non-immigration petition for its owner to enter the United States. However, Defendant Sun had steadfastly refused to produce them. Plaintiff later confronted Defendant Sun for the reason of stonewalling and much to his surprise, Sun admitted that in early 2020, she already closed the schools of Sunshine. She also admitted that she relocated the office of Sunshine and had discharged all the teachers of the school. Sunshine currently has no students at all.

12. Defendants, and each of them, has never informed Plaintiff the they had determined to close the business and to discharge all employees, nor did they obtain any consent from Plaintiff

before they determined to do so. In the meantime, however, Defendant Sun has been continuously posting news and articles in social medias reflecting that the school is still operating.

13. Plaintiff also discovered that Defendant Sun owns or manages other entities which does the similar business directly in competition with Sunshine during the time she was the director, officer and manager of Sunshine.

14. Plaintiff then demanded Defendants, and each of them, to produce all financial records of Sunshine and demanded Defendant Sun to disclose all the

information about the competing business she owns or manages for the past three years. Until the time this complaint is filed, all Plaintiff’s such demands have been ignored by Defendants, and each of them.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION (Breach of Fiduciary Duty) (Against Defendant Sun)

15. Plaintiff incorporates by this reference all allegations of paragraphs 1 – 14, inclusive, above, as though fully set forth.

16. Defendant Sunshine was established in September 2016 in the city of El Monte. Sunshine has been operating a successful child education business in the local community. Sunshine was fully owned by Defendant Sun until November 2018.

17. Plaintiff was established in 2017 and it later determined to invest an education business in Southern California.

In November, 2018, Plaintiff and Defendant Sunshine entered into an Investment Agreement, in which Plaintiff agreed to invest $200,000 in Defendant Sunshine for 51% its shares. Plaintiff duly paid the said investment amount and became the 51% shareholder of Sunshine afterwards.

18. Because Plaintiff’s owner is currently living in China, after Plaintiff invested Sunshine, Sunshine is, and has been during all relevant period of time, operated, managed and controlled by

Defendant Sun only. Defendant Sun had been the director, officer, manager of Sunshine for all time.

19. As a director, officer, and manager of Sunshine, Defendant Sun therefore owns a fiduciary duty to Defendant Sunshine and its majority shareholder, Plaintiff Dongyi.

20. In early 2022, Plaintiff requested Defendants, and each of them, to provide certain financial documents of Sunshine because Plaintiff was preparing a non-immigration petition for its owner to enter the United States. However, Defendant Sun had steadfastly refused to indicated produce them. Plaintiff later confronted Defendant Sun for the reason of stonewalling and

much to his surprise Sun admitted that in early 2020, she already closed the schools of Sunshine. She also admitted that she relocated the office of Sunshine and had discharged all the teachers of the school. Sunshine currently has no students at all.

21. Plaintiff also discovered that Defendant Sun owns or manages other entities which does the business directly competing with Sunshine during the time she was the director, officer and manager of Sunshine.

22. Defendant Sun, knowingly acted against Plaintiff’s interests.23. Defendants, and each of them, has never informed Plaintiff the they had determined to close the business and to discharge all employees, nor did they obtain any consent from Plaintiff before they determined to do so. In the meantime, Defendant Sun, has been continuously posting news and articles in social medias reflecting that the school is still operating.

24. As a result of Defendant Sun’s referenced conduct, Plaintiff was harmed.

25. Defendant Sun, deliberately concealed the facts that she had closed the business of Sunshine and posted fake articles in social media to prevent Plaintiff from knowing such facts. Therefore, Defendants, and each of the, acted willfully, oppressively, maliciously, with conscious disregard of the right of Plaintiff and with the intent to annoy, harass, or injury Plaintiff such that Plaintiff is entitled to a recovery of punitive damages.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION

(Shareholder’s Derivative Action)

(Against all Defendants)

26. Plaintiff incorporates by this reference all allegations of paragraphs 1 – 24, inclusive, above, as though fully set forth.

27. Plaintiff did not make any effort to secure action from Sun to prosecute this action for Sun’s breach of fiduciary duty because any such efforts would have been futile in that Sun is the CEO and manager of Sunshine, and Sun is the person who has and is breaching the fiducia-

ry duty to the detriment of Plaintiff, Sunshine and Sunshine’s creditors.

28. If Plaintiff is successful in this action, a substantial benefit will result to Sunshine, on whose behalf this cause of action is prosecuted, and Plaintiff is entitled to its attorney’s fees and costs incurred herein against Sunshine and Sun in an amount according to proof.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION

(Accounting) (Against all Defendants)

29. Plaintiff incorporates by this reference all allegations of paragraphs 1 – 28, inclusive, above, as though fully set forth.

30. Plaintiff has demanded an accounting of the profits and expenses earned and incurred by Sunshine and Defendants refused, and continued to fail and refuse to provide a full accounting of such profits and expenses to Plaintiff, without conditions or reservation.

31. Unless a receiver is appointed by the court to take possession of, care for, manage and operate the Sunshine’s business, assets and property, such property and assets are in danger of being lost, removed, or materially destroyed, in that Defendant Sun is in control of Sunshine’s

business and was and is applying Sunshine’s assets for her own personal use, in excess of her interest in and without proper approval of Sunshine.
