Immigrants from Mexico and Central America work hard in fields growing and harvesting our food while exposed to poisonous chemicals sprayed from containers marked “DANGER.” Americans will not do this backbreaking labor, so corporate farmers break the law and hire unlawful immigrants. While there has been a crackdown with arrests, imprisonment and deportation of Spanish-speaking, brown-skinned immigrants, only 11 cases in the entire US were brought last year by the Justice Department against owners/employers.

Workers and residents of communities where the fields, slaughterhouses and other industries which employ immigrants are located are either afraid or too busy earning a living to complain.

Many climate change leaders are too preoccupied giving Power Point presentations about “tipping points” and “fossil fuels” to connect the dots between refugees fleeing starvation due to crop failures caused by drought, hurricanes, floods and humanity’s climate crisis. We need more intersectional activism.

The link between certain cancers and toxic chemicals in our food and water supply is clear. At the same time we push politicians to adopt laws banning carcinogenic products like RoundUp, we must also prioritize providing farmers with alternatives. UC Davis has conducted innovative research in this area. Organic farming is beneficial to the soil, to the air and to the people who grow our food and those who consume the food.

The wealthy who can afford to buy organic produce from Whole Foods may think they are immune from environmental racism.

However, everyone has to breathe air and drink water. Filthy Flint water and toxic Houston air from Dow Chemical plants and Shell Oil operations are in the news today, but tomorrow it can be here.

IMMIGRANTS AND THE CONSTITUTION This may come as a shock to many of you who are not as familiar with the Constitution as you should be, but immigrants (legal or illegal) have no constitutional rights.

There is not one word about rights for noncitizens anywhere in the main body of seven articles, nor is there mention in the 27 amendments. If anyone can fi nd a single statement regarding immigrant rights, please let me know.

I have read the Constitution many times while in college and afterward, and I have 10 copies of this sacred document scattered around our house.

Lest anyone out there leap to the conclusion that I am against immigrants or a racist, let me put such idiotic thoughts to rest. I am a white, AngloSaxon Catholic (WASC). My wife is Mexican. All of my close friends are either Latino or black. I have only two white friends.

Anyway, the news pundits and ignorant TV reporters (CNN, FOX News, etc.) keep baying all day and all night about constitutional rights for illegal immigrants.

When doing this all day and

all night they are exhibiting their lack of education generally and ignorance of the Constitution specifically. ~ JOHN JAY VIA EMAIL

SECURE OUR ELECTIONS Thanks to the Mueller report and the Senate Intelligence Committee, we have irrefutable evidence that Russia hacked into our election systems in 2016. They’re going to keep attacking our democracy unless we do something about it. Yet Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seems perfectly fi ne with leaving the door wide open for Russia and other hostile foreign powers to interfere in our democracy.

Protecting our elections shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It’s an issue that should concern every American. The House has passed a bill that would help states replace electronic voting machines with those that use verifiable paper ballots. Having a paper trail is a key way to prevent hackers from affecting the outcome of an election.

I’m asking my senators to stand up to Moscow Mitch and pass $600 million in election security funding. The Senate must pass an appropriations bill before Oct.1, and our senators have a real chance of convincing leadership to include election security funding in that bill.

We need to make sure that hostile foreign actors can’t alter a single American vote.

We need to secure our elections now — and we can do that when the Senate passes election security funding. ~ LENNA WEIDMAN PASADENA

PAST IS PRESENT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS COULD LEARN FROM A STUDENT ELECTION IN 1976

With an overcrowded field of Democratic candidates hoping to unseat President Trump, I’m reminded of a high school experience in which I was elected mayor of my hometown, Lebanon, a history-drenched, semi-rural onetime steel manufacturing city in southeast Pennsylvania.

In spring 1976 — the nation’s bicentennial — I was a junior at the lone Catholic high school. For some years prior, the local YMCA had sponsored a youth government program in which students could elect their own mayor and other city officials. Since the program was also in place at the local public high school, the two schools held their respective schoolwide elections every other year, with juniors and seniors at each school being allowed to run against each other for the various positions.

I wasn’t politically inclined back then, but I did play football, a sport that had its own peculiar social minefields to navigate. After learning three popular guys in the senior class had jumped in the race — two of them athletes, neither of them footballers, but all friends since grade school — I decided to give it a shot.

Politicians need issues to run on, right? What would my platform be? I was a pretty happy kid, but some things made me unhappy, and one was sophomore hazing. This was one of those decades-old traditions in which the sophomores were at the mercy of their senior “masters,” and things sometimes got out of hand.

Some of the more timid sophomores were attacked by sadistic seniors in the locker room after practice, having their heads “flushed” in a toilet. Some had heating jelly smeared in their jocks before practice and were made to play until it became unbearable.

Shining a senior’s spikes was one thing.

But this behavior would be considered criminal even by legal standards of those times.

Not really knowing what to do, and thinking I was going to lose, I turned to underclassmen on the football team, guys I trained with in the off-season, and let it be known that this slavery stuff was out, and I didn’t say “stuff.”

To be honest, I was never forced to endure hazing, mainly because as a sophomore I started at nose guard on defense. Oh, I had a “master,” the senior I sometimes replaced due to the many injuries he had suffered. He and I also became friends — him ultimately becoming my mentor.

In the mayor’s race, I wooed sophomores, who had fresh memories of being subjected to humiliation the previous season, and freshmen, who could envision their own hellish fate. In the end, it was a landslide victory.

As for the football team, key senior and junior players were sidelined with crippling injuries by the end of the fi rst game of my senior year. This meant the underclassmen were given more time on the field and now were able to learn how to play at an accelerated rate through experience on game night.

Sure, we only won four games my senior year. By the second game we were down to three seniors. But in the coming two years, when “sophomore slavery” didn’t die as a result of some proclamation but simply faded away, the team, “The Beavers,” won the league championship in the fi rst year, and went 9-2 the second season, coming in behind a team from Lancaster County that went 11-0.

Speaking from this experience, and others over nearly four decades as a political reporter, it seems to me the fragmented Democrats need to get their collective act together, pick a candidate and develop a message, one that means something to everyone, including conservatives. They must then get fully behind both now.

If the Dems do not somehow coalesce (which the seniors in my race did not do, thus losing to a junior for the fi rst time in the program’s history), and fail to come up with a vision beyond merely beating Trump, the president will surely be re-elected, contrary to what MSNBC, CNN and The New York Times seem to be frantically trying to convince us will not happen. ■ 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 09.12.19

OUT OF THE SHADOWS PASADENA POLICE TURN A CORNER ON TRANSPARENCY SEVEN YEARS AFTER DEADLY MCDADE SHOOTING

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

P

asadena police recently made public nine video clips recorded on body cameras worn by police officers and four 911 calls involving the fatal officer-involved shooting of Daniel Warren last May in Northwest Pasadena.

In the videos, released on Sept. 3, Warren, 36, is dressed in a tactical vest and can be heard screaming at police as he ignores eight commands to drop his automatic weapon before he pointed the gun at police. The officers responded by fatally wounding Warren behind a residence on Glen Avenue.

The video marks the third time this year that Pasadena Police Chief John Perez has released images of an officer-involved shooting (OIS) incident. That’s a far cry from seven years ago when then-City Manager Michael Beck refused to release the results an independent investigation or police cruiser images of the fatal police shooting of unarmed 19-year-old Kendrec McDade, despite cries from activists and the media that more information be made public.

A redacted copy of a report on the McDade OIS investigation was eventually ordered released by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Chalfant after the city changed its tune in court and announced that it supported the public’s calls to see results of the McDade shooting probe, leaving only the Pasadena Police Officers Association to oppose its release.

“The issue is leadership,” said Councilman John Kennedy, who chairs the council’s Public Safety Committee. “Chief John Perez is the police executive needed for a time such as this. He is as transparent as he can be with the assistance of City Attorney Michele Bagneris and City Manager Steve Mermell,” Kennedy said. “John Perez is holding his department to a higher standard. That is good for the community and good for the women and men we call upon to do the right thing in every instance.”

THE GOAL Since being hired earlier this year, Perez, who has spent his entire law enforcement career with the Pasadena department, has formed a citizen police advisory commission and enacted policy that mandates

the department to release critical body-worn camera images within 45 days.

Perez’s policy went into effect while the state Legislature was still trying to decide policy mandating the release of police body cam images, a policy which is now a law that went into effect on July 1.

“We were out in front of the law by a year,” Perez, who served as interim chief from December 2018 to when he was sworn in as permanent chief the following February, told the Pasadena Weekly.

“Our goal is to get it out to the community … I want our communities to support us when we go through these incidents and hold us accountable,” Perez said.

In 2016, under former Chief Phillip Sanchez, the department’s 275 officers began wearing body cameras, which officers are prohibited from tampering with.

Officers can delay the release of the images if an investigation is ongoing. However, that did not stop Perez from releasing the Warren clips, even though the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are still investigating the shooting.

“We didn’t see any type of nexus not to release the information,” said Pasadena police Cmdr. Jason Clawson, who serves as an adjunct to the chief. “Even if the video does not put the officer in a good light we have to release it. It’s greater transparency for the department.”

Besides the Warren OIS, the department also released images in July of a shooting in May in which police fired at a van on Woodbury Road near the Mountain View Cemetery after the unidentified teen driver drove toward the officers.

In January, clips of a shooting incident involving alleged gang member Brandon Green and police on Green Street and Raymond Avenue, near Castle Green, were released less than a month after it occurred. No one was hurt in either of those incidents.

‘THE MAJOR CONCERN’ The videos of those incidents have led some to question what

In a push for a change in policy regarding global warming, thousands of people around the country — including Pasadena area residents and students — are expected to participate in more than 2,500 events nationwide in the first Global Climate Strike on Sept. 20.

Locally, students at the Sequoya School in Pasadena will hold a protest that Friday, and thousands are expected to rally in Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles.

The strike comes just before an emergency UN crisis summit in New York. According to the summit website, UN Secretary-General António Guterres is calling on all leaders to come to New York on Monday, Sept. 23 with “concrete, realistic plans to enhance their nationally determined contributions by 2020, in line with reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent over the next decade, and to net zero emissions by 2050.”

According to National Geographic, scientists claim there is indisputable evidence that the planet has been getting warmer.

Most believe that human activity, in particular the burning of fossil fuels and the resulting buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has led to the changes.

Over the past decade, scientists have documented record-high temperatures along with melting glaciers, rising temperatures in the ocean and increased water levels.

“These protests won’t solve the climate crisis alone,” the site states. “What this moment can do is demonstrate that people are no longer willing to continue with business as usual. The urgency of the climate crisis requires a new approach and a just response centered on human rights, equity, and justice.”

In October, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a chilling report that could serve as a wakeup call for US leaders.

In that report, some 90 climate scientists from 40 countries said that if humans don’t take immediate, collective action to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2040, the consequences will be irreversible and alter the natural systems of the planet.

With increased heat-trapping carbon in the atmosphere will come more natural disasters, including droughts, famine, wildfires, floods and hurricanes.

In order to prevent that catastrophic future, global carbon emissions will have to be reduced by 40 percent by 2030.

Last year, dozens of wildfires burned out of control across the state, including the largest fire in the California history, the Mendocino fire which charred 459,123 acres.

SUICIDE SOLUTION?

material the department chooses to release.

“The release of body cam videos of critical incidents, as the law now requires, is a welcome move toward greater transparency of policing,” said Kris Ockershauser, a member of the Coalition for Independent Civilian Oversight of the Pasadena Police (CICOPP).

But, she asked, “Is the department releasing all of the critical incidents on body cams or does it pick and choose which ones to release? We don’t know. Could there be a catalogue of all incidents and which videos have been released available to the public?”

Ockershauser said she is now concerned that the cameras could be used to deny rights instead of protect them.

“The major concern in civil liberties and civil rights organizations now is attaching facial recognition technology to body cams,” she said. “The cameras arose as a device to keep the police honest. They now are often seen as a good defense tool for police behavior, and facial recognition with racially suspect algorithms would turn them into tools to survey the public and keep the videos on file forever.”

Ockershauser said the city still needs an independent police auditor with subpoena power.

“Unfortunately, the city has not been supportive” of that idea, she said.

But even before the department adopted the new policy, the city was already beginning to release bodyworn camera clips of controversial incidents, with mixed results.

In December, City Manager Mermell announced that he was publicly releasing cruiser dashboard camera and body-worn camera clips of a violent police stop involving 21-year-old Christopher Ballew of Altadena. The images revealed Ballew was repeatedly punched, struck with a metal baton and at one point had his face slammed into the asphalt of the gas station parking lot where the struggle occurred.

On Mermell’s order, the city released six videos, including clips from the dashboard camera of two of the officers involved, as well as that from other officers who responded to the scene.

Officers Zachary Lujan and Lerry Esparza, who were involved in the incident, are currently on desk duty pending the results of an internal affairs investigation, which remains ongoing. Ballew is presently suing the city, the department and the two officers in federal court.

MIXED RESULTS Shortly after that incident, word began leaking out about another Ballew-like situation involving a motorist. In January, city officials moved to quell those rumors and conducted a media briefing at Pasadena police headquarters to play a 911 recording and show police clips of the 2017 police stop and arrest of Kelvin Jankins of Altadena. Jankins filed a lawsuit claiming police falsely arrested him after an unreasonable

BRIEFS

search and seizure. The claim further stated officers and city jailers “threatened, assaulted, battered” and subjected Jankins to excessive force, which left him physically and mentally injured after he was taken into custody following a traffic stop on Navarro Avenue, near Howard Street.

Police appeared to follow procedure in the video, which did not show Jankins being assaulted by officers.

In July 2018, the city released a clip of the 2016 police stop of two women who claimed they were fondled, molested and forced to show their breasts to Pasadena police officers. The clips did not substantiate the women’s claims.

MORE TO DO Calls for the transparency and citizen accountability in the Pasadena Police Department date back to the 1993 death of Michael Bryant, who, according to a coroner’s report, died of “cocaine intoxication and asphyxiation from restraint procedures.”

Bryant, a popular local barber, was first followed by San Marino police on his way to the 110 Freeway. By the time he got there, Pasadena police were also on his tail. Eventually LAPD got involved. Bryant, who was overweight and out of shape, pulled off the road, climbed a hill, hopped a fence and jumped in a pool, which police from the three agencies surrounded. Exhausted from the chase, he was ultimately Tasered, pulled from the pool, hogtied and placed face down in the back of a police car, where he died. His family members sued the city, accepting a $1.5 million settlement.

Calls for transparency grew in intensity in 2004 after two officer-involved fatal incidents involving 30-year-old Lamont Robinson, who was suspected of having cocaine in his mouth and was choked into unconsciousness and later died, and Maurice Clark, also 30, who was shot to death by police returning his fire, which came from a gun that fell out of his pants as he was fleeing officers. Clark was killed two weeks after Robinson lost consciousness, leading to his death.

In the McDade shooting, the city in 2014 settled separate lawsuits filed against the city by the teen’s parents for just more than $1 million, $850,000 of which went to his mother But shortly after McDade was killed in March 2012, technology and social media would catch up to demands for more openness. Police body cams became widely available over the past five years, and clips of police brutality began appearing on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, leading to the dismissal and criminal conviction of several police officers around the country.

“It’s the job of the whole City Council to hold the City Manager responsible and in turn he ensures that the Police Chief is leading with integrity and excellence. I am pleased with the progress,” said Kennedy. But, he said, “There is more to do.” n

CITY OFFICIALS SET TO HOLD PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS ON VERTICAL SUICIDE PREVENTION BARRIER ON COLORADO STREET BRIDGE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Steve Mermell

According to the City Manager’s newsletter, local residents will soon be presented with the scope and schedule for construction of a vertical barrier intended to prevent suicides from the Colorado Street Bridge.

The meeting is from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 26 at Pasadena City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. According to a staff report released in May, the San Francisco-based architectural firm Donald McDonald would design a vertical barrier on the iconic bridge for under $550,000.

Local residents will be able to comment on the plans and provide ideas at the meeting.

City officials have pushed for suicide mitigation measures since last year’s Labor Day weekend, when police spent 13 hours successfully talking down a woman threatening to jump from the bridge, which has become so well known for people jumping fom it that it’s become known over the past several decades as Suicide Bridge.

After last September’s encounter, City Manager Steve Mermell exercised his authority to make an emergency purchase and spent $295,932 on fencing to span both sides of the 1,400-feet long and 100-feet high bridge.

More than 150 people have jumped from the 106-year-old span since the Great Depression, according to city officials, with more than 30 of those deaths reported since 2006. Most of those jumps occurred from the alcoves along the bridge’s walkways, where access to the edge over the existing metal railings is easier.

In April, a passerby found the body of a man beneath the bridge. His shoes were located on top of the structure. So far, he is the only known jumper this year. Three people jumped from the bridge in 2018, and eight people fell to their deaths in 2017.

Temporary suicide-prevention fencing was placed in the bridge’s alcoves after a total of 12 people jumped leapt to their deaths in 2015 and 2016.

The increase in jumpers, coupled with concerns for public safety after the city approved a Habitat for Humanity housing project underneath a portion of the bridge’s south side, forced officials to erect 10-feet tall, one-inch thick mesh fencing, blocking access to 20 alcoves on both sides of the historic structure. People had used the alcoves to climb off the bridge and onto the ledge. The now-completed housing project and park occupies the former Desiderio Army Reserve Center, declared surplus property by the Army and recommended for closure in 2005. After public hearings, city officials decided to convert portions of the property into affordable housing and a neighborhood park, much of which lies directly underneath a portion of the bridge. n

AN AFFORDABLE PLAN

SCHIFF INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO INCREASE AFFORDABLE HOUSING

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

US Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) on Monday announced the introduction of the Affordable Housing Incentive Act (AHIA), a bill designed to address the state’s affordable housing crisis.

Adam Schiff AHIA would provide tax incentives for property owners who sell to public housing agencies, like Pasadena, thereby increasing the stock of affordable housing options.

“In a nation as prosperous as America, families and individuals should not struggle to put a roof over their heads, but so many do,” Schiff said. “Public housing agencies are a critical tool in addressing our nationwide housing crisis, but the supply of affordable options simply does not meet demand, especially in regions like Southern California. My bill will help address this shortage of affordable housing options by creating incentives that tilt the scale in favor of public housing agencies.”

However, the bill probably would not pass the Senate, which is controlled by the GOP. Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee investigating President Trump, has been a thorn in the side of the president throughout much of his tenure.

Locally, Pasadena Housing Director Bill Huang said he could not comment on the pending legislation because it has not been formally considered voted on by the city’s legislative committee.

Although Pasadena officials could not comment at this time, elected officials in nearby Glendale, which Schiff also represents, praised the bill. Tenant unions in Pasadena and Glendale have unsuccessfully pushed measures to place rent control on the ballot.

“The City of Glendale and Glendale Housing Authority are extremely grateful to Congressman Adam Schiff for authoring the Affordable Housing Incentives Act of 2019,” said Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian in a prepared statement. “This proposed legislation, if approved, will provide a new tool to help develop affordable housing for lower income households, not only in Glendale but across the nation.”

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti echoed Najarian’s statement.

“Congressman Schiff’s legislation will give housing authorities an innovative tool to expand affordable housing and help prevent displacement,” Garcetti said in a statement issued Monday. n

The Other Side BACK IN VOGUE, SPIRITUALISM GOES MAINSTREAM IN PASADENA AND MONROVIA

S

BY MARY REINHOLZ

ome of them see apparitions. Others hear voices from the grave.

They’re proponents of Spiritualism, a loosely organized religion and one time mass movement. Believers assert that consciousness continues after death and reveals itself though mediums and such phenomena as levitation, trances, shamanic healing and automatic writing.

Spiritualism flourished during the Victorian era in America, especially during and after the bloody Civil War. There were reports of séances at the White House attended by President Abraham Lincoln’s grief-stricken wife Mary Todd Lincoln who consulted with mediums after her 11-year-old son Willie died of typhoid fever in 1862.

Advocates for the abolition of slavery and women’s rights were also drawn to Spiritualism.

These included suffragist Victoria Woodhull, a medium, stockbroker, newspaper publisher, former prostitute and fortune teller who became the first woman to run for president in 1872 against Ulysses S. Grant. Her story has been recounted in several well-received books, among them, the 447-page “Other Powers” by social historian Barbara Goldsmith.

Spiritualism can be traced to March 1848 when the controversial Fox sisters — Kate, then 11, and Maggie, 14 — heard loud knocks or “raps” on the walls of their parents’ cottage in Hydesville, New York. Neighbors gathered and soon the knocks were attributed to disembodied messages from a dead peddler who allegedly had been murdered five years earlier and buried in the Fox home. The sisters gave demonstrations and eventually took their show on the road In 1888, Maggie Fox confessed that she and her sibling had perpetrated a hoax by cracking the joints of their toes. She later recanted. Spiritualists claim she was ill and under pressure at the time. They note that bones were found at the Fox abode, suggesting the raps they invoked should not be discredited. Even so, Spiritualism eventually fell into disrepute over other allegations of fakery and fraud (notably leveled by the magician Harry Houdini in the 1920s).

These days, Spiritualism in varied mutations is back in vogue, attracting self-taught practitioners who advertise online. One in Pasadena is a former celebrity impersonator named Richard Lael Lillard who previously entertained in Hollywood dressed up as the late British vocalist Freddy Mercury. He now calls himself a medium and Gentleman Psychic. Lillard, 39, gives Tarot readings for $95 an hour, decked out in three piece vintage suits on the lower floor of a beautiful Victorian house he rents on Martello Avenue.

“I have Native American ancestors on both sides of my family and that gives me insights others don’t have,” said the Ohio-born artist when I called him from New York. “I was clairvoyant since childhood. I read books and stay knowledgeable.”

Lillard is part of what appears to be a bustling niche industry where the paranormal is normal. “It’s become mainstream,” said Dina Amado, a buyer and co-owner of Alexandria II, a metaphysical shop at 170 S. Lake Ave. in Pasadena that offers New Age titles, crystals, oils, tarot cards and jewelry. “People are becoming more aware of other realms and they want to feel some validation.”

She noted that “trained psychics” come into the store “every day” and give spirit readings — $35 for 15 minutes; $100 for an hour. Two of them, she said, were trained at the Arthur Findlay College for the Advancement of Spiritualism in Essex, England. “We’re very particular who we hire. ... Some of them see into the spirit world for people who have a deceased loved one.”

Her store stocks books by famed psychic mediums like James Van Praagh and John Edward. She worries about charlatans who prey on vulnerable people.

Unremarkably, Amado hadn’t heard of the Spiritualist Church of Revelation in nearby Monrovia, where mediums in a small and seemingly secretive congregation provide messages from the other side for less than what her mediums charge.

The church, a nonprofit now housed in a one-story building on West Colorado Boulevard was founded in 1915 and claims to be the oldest Spiritualist congregation in Los Angeles County chartered by the National Spiritualist Association of Churches (NSAC). Sunday services begin

at 11 messages,” 11 a.m. a.m m. and and d consist con onsist of a “healing portion, an inspirational talk, and finally spirit s according to a statement on the church’s Facebook page.

On Sept. 29 and 30, the church will host a Spirit Fair with four mediums who charge $20 for a 15-minute reading. A “healer” will be there as well. “Food is availible (sic) for a small donation,” states the Facebook notice. “The mediums donate their time for lunch. Come enjoy a day with spirit.”

The congregation’s format for Sunday services is typical for Spiritualist churches belonging to the aforementioned NSAC, which was founded in 1893 during a Spiritualists convention in Chicago and reportedly imposes strict requirements on members to keep fortune-hunting quacks at bay. (There are about 90 NSAC affiliated churches, 10 in California). NSAC headquarters are in Lily Dale, a self-governing Spiritualist community in Western New York once visited

by Susan B. Anthony. NSAC leadership requires member mediums and ministers to undergo study by mail-order classes from the Morris Pratt Institute in Milwaukee before they can receive accreditation.

The Monrovia congregation has about 44 members, said a woman named Karen who identified herself as president of its board of directors and said I was welcome to attend services. She later reported that the board voted against providing interviews. The church’s Facebook page still lists medium Raymond F. Pina as church pastor, even though he died in December 2018 at age 71. No successor appears to have been named. A NSAC spokesperson said Pina was accredited as a medium but not as a minister.

The Rev. Pamela Bollinger, an ordained NSAC-accredited minister and pastor of the Summertown Spiritualist Church of the Comforter in Santa Barbara, recalled Pina as a “delightful man” who had been at the (Monrovia) Church a long time. “Hopefully they find somebody else and get some momentum going.”

Her own congregation, which is nearly 130 years old, began in what had once been a Spiritualist tent community in the nearby beach town of Summerland, a Spiritualist name for the afterlife (the Spiritualist symbol is a sunflower). It has about 50 members. ”Spiritualism is not just a religion,” she said. “It’s a philosophy, a way of life, in which you take personal responsibility for your actions and practice the golden rule,” she said. “We have nine principles and believe that infinite intelligence expresses itself in nature.”

Bollinger noted that the church’s mediums don’t use any props. “We don’t do Tarot cards or Ouija boards,” she said.

Over the years, she has seen eerie manifestations emanating from mediums in communication with the spirit world, “I’ve seen objects move,” she said. “I’ve seen a demonstration of table tipping.”

Prominent religious historian J. Gordon Melton, PhD, founding director of the Institute for the Study of American Religion at Baylor University and an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church, has researched and written extensively on alternative religions. He estimated there are only about “several thousand” Spiritualists nationwide, noting there had been a “massive effort” to challenge the religion’s legitimacy. He said membership declined in the 1970s and ’80s.

While he questions the veracity of mediumship, Melton said he had personally witnessed table turning. It happened at UC Santa Barbara years ago when a graduate student began a demonstration. “There were four of us sitting around with our hands on top of the table and the table began to lift,” he recalled. “There was a lot of comment. It was enough to intrigue you.

You’re sitting there and wondering how he was doing it.”

He added: “We have telepathy. We have the ability to exchange information telepathically; there is some kind of somatic power that people can channel. I can’t discount it.” ■ 09.12.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

Measuring the Vibe REPUBLIK COFFEE LOUNGE AND PILLOW TALK FIND HOMES IN PASADENA

his summer saw the opening of two unique, contemporary cafes — Republik Coffee Lounge and Pillow Talk.

Separated by a few city blocks, their openings were timed perfectly to provide a haven of Wi Fi and caffeine for all of us who traded our beautiful Southern California summer days for blue tinted laptop screens and overpriced textbooks. I visited Pillow Talk and Republik to over analyze every detail (the food, the drinks, the tech friendliness and the vibe) and to determine which of the new coffee shops would be my new haunt to sip coffee and fight off writer's block. Spoiler alert: both places provide more charisma than any Starbucks.

Because this is a food column and not a Buzzfeed listicle for college students, I will start with the cuisines. Pillow Talk carries the simpler menu with four sandwiches between $8 and $11 and

a small range of pastries. The Tomagoyaki ($8) has white bread, omelet eggs, dashi and mustard.

The delicate sandwich came in halves boxed up nicer than I have ever boxed a gift. One bite in and I understood why it was boxed: it was one step above cotton candy, with its only faux texture provided by the mustard. The three other sandwiches keep the “pillow” namesake alive with the hardest ingredient among them the cucumber in the spam, egg and cucumber sandwich ($11). Fortunately, denture-friendly sandwiches are not the only thing available. They have pastry concoctions, like the mango mango ($8), which has a chiffon cake base, coconut mousse and mango jelly filling topped in chunks of mango, and the Oreo lover ($7), which has layers of chocolate cake and cream filling.

There seems to be a rotation of varieties, so order a few and go halfsies with a friend.

As far as coffee shops go, Republik Coffee Lounge is in a league of its own. Along with a full selection of coffees and espressos they have full breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch menus. The brunch menu is complete with everything from the smoked salmon sandwich ($13) to quiche Lorraine ($11.50) and eggs Benedict ($11). The lunch menu sports a variety, with things like the cauliflower flatbread ($12.50) and quinoa Greek salad ($11.95).

I was fortunate enough to stop in on a Sunday before the 3 p.m. brunch cutoff so I had to get the salmon sandwich with goat crème cheese, cherry tomatoes, onions, capers and arugula. Served open-faced, it was a great take on lox and cream cheese. My dining companion had the French toast ($12), brioche toast with mixed berries served with a gratuitous portion of whipped vanilla bean cream. Both of our plates warrant a second order.

I cannot tell how many Sunday mornings I have wasted hopping from restaurant to cafe to find the right balance of cafe atmosphere in which I can take out my laptop and write but still enjoy eggs that were not tossed in a microwave next to an espresso machine. Republik has found the perfect balance. As an added bonus, they have a refrigerated section full of ready to eat sandwiches,

salads and desserts if you do not have enough time to sit down and take in the atmosphere.

The coffee is where Republik and Pillow Talk tie. In terms of price, both average around $6 for an espresso concoction. Pillow Talk’s signature drink is the iced tiramisu ($5.75). This drink has a layer of milk foam on the very top that they coat in a cocoa powder and creates milk foam bubbles. If you are a coffee elitist that snubs their noses at the smallest amount of sweetness in coffee, relax. The baristas will provide you with a host of sweetness options to suit your palate. I went with the halfsweet choice. Pour overs are also available — iced or hot — for just under $6. Republik also has pour overs and all the espresso drinks one would expect. Their signature seems to be charcoal infused options — the black vanilla latte ($6.50) and the black pearl Freddo ($7). Both share the same recipe — a mix of vanilla bean cream and espresso in a mixture that highlights what makes coffee and dairy such a perfect pairing.

In the Venn diagram of cafe factors, perhaps equally as big as food and coffee, are the vibe and atmosphere. Pillow Talk is a straightforward, efficient take on a working cafe. Most of their square tables are large enough for two laptops if not three. Nearly every table has two wall outlets and USB ports above the table for charging, removing the need to reach down to baseboards to plug in.

Pillow Talk is somewhat smaller than Republik but their tables seem to be larger, so if you need to spread out, Pillow Talk is the place. Republik’s round tables may not have the ideal surface area and they do not have as many outlets spread throughout the place, but they do make up for those in pure class. The entire place is elegant.

Decked out like a Paris Cafe in a romantic film, it is distractingly pretty inside and the jazz standards playing throughout just heighten the vibe. So if you have time to be distracted or need a distraction, Republik is the place. If you need efficiency and a cool, modern atmosphere and a power supply for all of your devices — Pillow Talk it is.

CRUZ’N FOR ROSES South Pas Hot Rod and Classic Car Show set for Sunday

Volunteers are needed to help put on the 15th annual South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Cruz’n For Roses Hot Rod and Classic Car Show along Mission Street Sunday, Sept. 15.

The show, which is expected to attract hundreds of car owners, will be staged from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mission Street, between Fair Oaks and Meridian avenues.

The show will be held in conjunction with a scaled down South Pasadena police and fire department open houses on Mission Street, said Bill Glazier, a member of the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Committee.

“Car owners love us because of the tree-lined street and our small town character,” said Janet Benjamin, a SPTOR Committee member and organizer for the car show. Proceeds from entry fees ($30 before the event, $40 on the day of event or $70 for the VIP section) will support funding the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses’ Rose Parade float, which officials say will cost around $100,000.

Volunteers are needed any time between 5:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to help put on the show.

For more information about entering cars and volunteering, contact Benjamin at (626) 799-7813. For more information about the police and fire department open house, call Officer Richard Lee at (626) 403-7297.

NAME THE ROVER Kids urged to get involved in Moon to Mars missions

Students (K-12) in US public, private and home schools can enter NASA’s Name the Rover essay contest. One lucky student will be flown to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida to see the spacecraft launch in July. If you’re already out of school, you can still be involved as a volunteer judge.

“This naming contest is a wonderful opportunity for our nation’s youth to get involved with NASA’s Moon to Mars missions,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

Students have until Nov. 1 to submit their name with an essay of 150 words explaining their proposed name (https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/ name-the-rover/). The entries will be divided into K-4, 5-8 and 9-12. Fifty-two semifinalists will be selected per group, representing each state and territory. Three finalists will be selected from each group to advance. The public will then be able to vote online on the nine finalists in January. NASA will announce the winner on Feb. 18. US residents over 18 can help review submissions by visiting futureengineers. org/registration/judge/nametherover.

WHEN LESS IS MORE The Huntington makes a small but significant change in its title

Officials recently announced that the institution formerly known as the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens changed its name to the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.

The change was made to more accurately describe the institution’s mission and programs, said Huntington President Karen R. Lawrence.

“Our art collections are more than a group of catalogued objects; they are carefully curated, interpreted, and exhibited for scholarship, education, and the broader public,” Lawrence said in a prepared statement released last Thursday, the day of the Huntington’s Centennial Celebration launch event.

“An added benefit to this change is that we become more discoverable, particularly in online searches,” Lawrence noted.

The Huntington, located at 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Monday. Closed Tuesdays. Call (626) 405-2100 or visit huntington.org. n

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE

GARY PUCKETT AND THE UNION GAP BRING THEIR EMOTIONAL ROCK BALLADRY TO THE ROSE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

D

uring rock and roll’s glory days in the mid-Sixties, hundreds of singles would be sent to radio stations around the country each month by young artists, with up to 500 songs vying for the attention of deejays who could propel the creators of those tunes to stardom. As a young singer trying to get noticed in that fierce competition, Gary Puckett came up with a gimmick that helped him and his band The Union Gap produce multiple hits.

Realizing that most singles were distributed with picture-less sleeves, Puckett decided to play off his avid love of Civil War history and convinced his bandmates to dress up in Union Army uniforms for a photo that would adorn their own single for “Woman Woman.”

All it took was for one disc spinner to notice, and when that happened Puckett had his first hit in a 53-year performing career that brings him to The Rose in Pasadena for a show on Saturday night.

“Everyone on the street was wearing tie dyes and fringes, leathers and suedes, because everyone was doing that grungy thing,” says Puckett. “We were a brand new group, so we needed a picture on that first record in order to have someone think that record was cool, and wonder what that sounds like. I always loved history of the Civil War period, so I decided that we would wear the outfit of the Union Army in order that we could be arresting to the eye.

“We could be the same and yet different, have ranks from a general to a private, with different kinds of hats, things like that,” he adds. “The band thought it was stupid, but I said this is what we’re going to do to make them stop and play that record. The record company put our picture on the sleeve, it went out to all the stations, and a guy in Ohio who was a Civil War buff took notice and gave us a chance. The Columbia office in Cleveland called LA and said you have a hit record in Columbus. They put us in a club here and made it a hit.”

Of course, Puckett’s impressive tenor vocals were the key to success from there, as his rich tones made the band stand out in an era of Motown soul and British Invasion rockers. Puckett’s ability to imbue his singing with expressive emotions led to a string of Top 10 hits, including “Young Girl,” “Lady Willpower,” “and “This 14 PASADENA WEEKLY | 09.12.19

Girl Is a Woman Now,” yet there were serious conflicts roiling behind their successful image.

“The band themselves didn’t like ‘Woman Woman’ much, because they wanted to rock and roll like Moby Grape, and be known for jamming,” says Puckett, 76. “They would rather have done something much more rock and roll. But Jerry Fuller, our producer, really believed it was a hit song, so he said make the record and we’re off. I loved the song once we were recording it and the band came to like it more when they saw it was a hit.

“But we had a bigger dispute over a song called ‘Heaven Down Below’ that I didn’t think it would do well, and Fuller disagreed,” adds Puckett. “The record company was on the producer’s side, I was young and I thought I’m going to exercise my right to move on. It was the wrong move for me to make in retrospect. Had I stayed we might have made many more hits, but you can’t really know that either.”

Even as the radio hits faded, however, Puckett still had his voice and an emotional approach that resonated with fans to help create an unusually loyal bond between artist and audience. Puckett notes that he never attempted to emulate any other singers, instead performing with the confidence instilled in him by his parents, both professional singers who performed with many big bands during his upbringing in Yakima, Washington.

“First of all, the records we made were quality — they were well-done, performed, produced and marketed with that whole idea of wearing Civil War outfits,” explains Puckett. “Some say we sold more records than the Beatles in 1968, when we sold between 15 and 20 million records. Our fans are widespread. I think those songs and records stand the test of time and I still have the largest audience of my generation, that’s now retiring, retired or ready for retiring and still love the music of their youth. I’m part of the fabric of the music of our generation. And millennials are finding it on YouTube now and loving it too.” n Gary Puckett and the Union Gap perform at 9 p.m. Saturday at The Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $38 to $68.

Old is New Again NICK WATERHOUSE, JEN AWAD, THEE SINSEERS AND MORE PUT CONTEMPORARY EDGE ON CLASSIC GROOVES AND MOVES AT OPEN ARTS & MUSIC FESTIVAL IN GLENDALE SATURDAY

T

here’s a distinct retro vibe to the music slated to fill the air at Saturday’s family-friendly Open Arts & Music Festival in downtown Glendale, which is not to say it’s old-fashioned; Nick Waterhouse, Jen Awad, and Thee Sinseers, among others, may adopt the style of ’50s, ’60s and ’70s soul and R&B, but the attitudes they voice are unmistakably contemporary.

Long Beach-raised Waterhouse’s self-titled fourth album, released in March, surrounds the veteran crate digger with crisp, sensually layered arrangements Little Willie John might have savored in his prime. Depictions of daunted modern manhood like “I Feel an Urge Coming On” and “Song for Winners” (“Your strange innocence has ended/ What a state to dance/ Well, I look at you/ And wanna conjure a victim of circumstance”) share elements of classic ’60s-style soul with Thee Sinseers’ summer singles “I Don’t Mind” and “It Was Only a Dream.” But where frontman Joey Quiñones’ silken croon wholeheartedly embraces romance, Waterhouse’s phrasing cuts sentiment like a lover bitten too often to still believe in niceties. Sister Mantos’s recently issued “Songs in the Key of Destroy Capitalism,” meanwhile, works social themes that may elude preschoolers but the music’s polyrhythmic joie de vivre is likely to get

heads and hips of all ages in motion during songs like “La Gente Contra Los Bancos” and “Bajo El Sol.” With her flamboyant style and humor, irreverent diva and fashion designer Jen Awad is likely to deliver some of the festival’s most entertaining moments. Horns punctuate her romantic advice to listeners — “Break a Man,” “Love is Dead,” “Night” — which she belts like a gutsy, miniskirted love child of Wilson Pickett and Bette Midler. There’s sweetness behind the bawdy veneer, though, even when she’s batting her fake eyelashes over “Bad People” (“…need loving too”) and vamping around like a vintage Hollywood starlet and poking fun at herself for being “Hungover.” Her penchant for encouraging audiences to make the world a little better by being kind should find receptive ears Saturday. n Open Arts & Music Festival presents Nick Waterhouse, Kilo Kish, Jen Awad, Sister Mantos, Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca, Thee Sinseers, and Earth Arrow on the Main Stage, and Mt. Pool and Musical Theatre Guild on the Glendale Stage, on the block in front of the Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, 3-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14; free admission for all ages.

The Power of Silence AUDIENCES LEARN THE WORLD IS NOT AN ACCIDENT IN ‘NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG’

“N

either Wolf Nor Dog” is a sensitive feature film that made its premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2016, and as it comes to Pasadena — the home of its star Christopher Sweeney — it is still on its first-run theatrical release, the longest such release in at least a decade.

Scottish director Steven Lewis Simpson adapted Kent Nerburn’s 1995 award-winning novel about a Minnesota-based white author, also named Kent Nerburn, who during a period of mourning for his father gets a phone call from the granddaughter (Roseanne Supenault) of an elderly Native American man. Her grandfather, Dan (the late Chief David Bald Eagle), doesn't talk on the phone and lives 400 miles away.

Nerburn’s “To Walk the Red Road,” a book filled with memories from Native Americans in Minnesota, caught Dan’s attention, and his granddaughter warns, “It’s important; he’s old.”

The 95-year-old Lakota elder lives in a small clapboard shack with an outhouse on a field of yellowed grass. Once Nerburn arrives, Dan cautiously questions him. Dan’s had lots of experience with white people, saying, “White people who work on the res … never liked them much. Mostly full of bullshit. Wear Indian jewelry, low ponytails. Talk about the Great Spirit.” Nerburn, luckily, is “turquoise-free” and devoid of a ponytail. Yet Dan is not convinced and wonders if Nerburn, “maybe discovered a Cherokee grandmother climbing up your family tree.” Dan makes clear that he’s met plenty of “social workers, missionary-types and old hippies.”

When Nerburn passes muster, Dan presents him with a box of papers with phrases and disparate thoughts about things like history: “When white people won it was a victory; when we won it was a massacre. When they fought for freedom it was a revolution; when we fought for freedom it was an uprising.” There are also cultural notes about how white people “can’t stand the silence,” but for the Native Americans “silence is stronger than words.”

Dan tells Nerburn, “I got lots more. I want you to fix them; make a book.” Holing up in a shabby hotel, Nerburn begins by organizing the scribblings into categories, but he hasn’t quite caught the spirit of the people of the Dakotas or understood Dan’s sadness over his dead son.

Dan’s friend Grover (Richard Ray Whitman) and Dan’s granddaughter remain critical of Nerburn’s initial essays. “You’ve got to learn to listen before you can see,” Grover tells Dan. Nerburn’s reluctant journey takes an unplanned turn, as does the movie.

“Neither Wolf Nor Dog” mixes fact with fiction. Nerburn published a book called “To Walk the Red Road: Memories of the Red Lake Ojibwe People” in 1989, which we see and is mentioned during the film. Yet the movie’s ending features an unscripted moment when Dave Bald Eagle speaks from his heart about the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. The massacre began when soldiers ordered the deaf Black Coyote to surrender his firearm and the bewildered Black Coyote resisted.

Dave Bald Eagle was born in 1919, but one of his grandfathers, White Bull (1849-1947), led the assault against George Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. He was raised speaking Lakota (a Sioux language) and his role as Dan was his last (His first was as an extra for the 1990 “Dances with Wolves”). He died at age 97 the month prior to “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” making its June premiere in Scotland.

While you might want to dismiss this as another white savior movie, the film directly addresses this through both Nerburn and the character Dan, who says, “The world is not an accident; we don’t always get to choose our parts.” Dan then tells Nerburn, “The creator has given you a task; you don’t get to turn back just because you want to.”

The real Nerburn continued his focus on Native Americans and this film both surrounds Sweeney with Native American actors and doesn’t ignore the problems of poverty and alcoholism.

Simpson lets this movie unfold slowly with unexplained silences punctuated by sparse dialogue.

The emotional course of two men mourning — one for his father and one for his son — become the sign posts that bring these men together and tenuously link them before they reach a deeper understanding. If you are patient, this film will gently ask you to re-think the history you learned and the cultural bias that surrounds us. For filmmakers, Simpson’s determined course is another aspect that makes this film an important lesson in indie success.

The title comes from something that Sitting Bull supposedly said, that “Indians who live like white men are neither wolf nor dog.” The actual dog in this film, a waddling corgi, has an important role inasmuch as it is far removed from its wolfish ancestors. n “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” opens Sept. 13 at the Pasadena Laemmle Playhouse 7, 673 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-17-765816-JP. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

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 recorderís 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2016-00384-CA. 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.
