MISSING TOM

My family and I have been longtime readers of the Pasadena Weekly and love how you all cover the local news, arts, sports, politics, environment, and music scenes. (My wife and I have been reading since we were students at Occidental in the 1980s!)

We love your reporting, but one of the things that makes the Weekly mandatory reading every week is the comic, “This Modern World.” We love it!

But what happened to it?

It provides some of the best political commentary we’ve ever seen. I think it was even shortlisted for a Pulitzer not too long ago.

Please tell the powers-that-be (i.e., Steve Stickbine, etc.) to bring back “This Modern World!”

Thanks much.

LOGICAL DEMAND

When I was a young architectural apprentice I befriended the great architect Harwell Hamilton Harris, who became my mentor. I asked Mr. Harris at one point what was the most important lesson he learned from his teacher, Richard Neutra. Mr. Harris immediately said in a voice that sounded like every Old Testament prophet rolled together, “One thing demands another, every change calls for another.”

After 40 years in design I can say no truer words were ever spoken.

Presently, the California Legislature is setting about to change California law and make shelter a right. The thought fills my oppressed beleaguered designers heart with joy. This change logically demands several others among them: 1. No longer can the Zoning Code declare any parcel to be off limits to residential building.

2. No longer can the Zoning Code erect so many regulations and demands that it makes parcels economically unviable to build upon.

3. No longer can the Building Code erect so many demands and costs that middle-class and poor people cannot build their own homes or that developers can not profitably build for them,

as is now the case.

If housing is a right, it must be a right that cannot be destroyed and deprived by the administrative state. Changes to the Building and Zoning codes in California since 1978 have added 30 to 40 percent to the cost of a dwelling unit.

This has always been morally unacceptable and has in no small part led to the crisis of affordability.

Making the change in California statutory law to define shelter as human right, as it has always been under Natural Law, should finally demand the end of the unaccountable, unreasonable totalitarian administrative state control of housing. Now, finally, there is a change whose logical unforeseen consequences are long overdue. ~ STEVEN S. LAMB PRESIDENT SOCIETY OF ORGANIC ARCHITECTS ALTADENA

HOLD ON, STEVE

Private property is a right.

Access to it comes through a viable market.

Free up the market from government tyranny and we’ll get back to the “real” right.

Please don’t “jump the shark” on this.

We’re getting there … the craziness, though difficult, is interim, IMHO. Below (is) a related (and excellent) piece in the Pasadena Star-News, exposing how “change begets change” – in so many uncalculated ways: https://www.pasade-

CORRUPT BY NATURE

To state lawmakers: I hope that you will do all in your power to secure an exemption for independent California music professionals under AB5.

This law is unfair and unreasonable, especially to the rank and file of the music industry.

I believe it is a corrupt law by nature, and its only purpose is to squeeze money out of an already desperate contingency of the arts community.

The bottom line is I am using my equipment, my schedule, and my resources to complete a job. Under those conditions, by definition, I cannot be considered an employee!

Please support the people who have sacrificed to uphold the arts and the culture of this country.

END OF THE LINE NEARLY A DECADE OF SCANDAL COMES TO AN END WITH THE IMPRISONMENT OF FORMER SHERIFF LEE BACA

After a lengthy appeals process that ended with the US Supreme Court refusing to hear his case, former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca — a once well-liked, reform-minded lawman who oversaw the department during one of its most scandalous periods — is headed to prison .

It’s been a long road and a drawn out legal process, but like many of his former deputies, including his undersheriff, Baca will finally be forced to serve time in prison, in his case for obstruction of justice, conspiracy and lying during a deputy abuse of power scandal that rocked the county Sheriff’s Department for much of the previous decade.

That federal probe — sparked by an ACLU report on inmate abuse, a series of stories on the same by the LA Times, a letter from Pasadena leaders calling for a federal investigation, and a blistering report on the department by the Citizens’ Commission on Jail Violence, a group consisting of four retired federal judges, a police chief, a popular minister and a community member that found deputies were indiscriminately abusing inmates throughout the county jail system — eventually resulted in nine deputies and Baca’s former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka being sentenced to prison.

In the case of Tanaka, who was a former mayor and sitting councilman in Gardena at the time, he ran for Baca’s seat in 2014, soon after the longtime San Marino resident resigned under fire and the federal civil rights investigation was still under way. But he was not exonerated by the Citizens’ Commission. Far from it.

“The troubling role of Undersheriff Tanaka cannot be ignored,” the seven-member panel concluded in its September 2012 report. “Not only did he fail to identify and correct problems in the jails, he exacerbated them. … Over the course of several years, the Undersheriff encouraged deputies to push the legal boundaries of law enforcement activities and created an environment that discouraged accountability for misconduct,” the commission’s report states.

Tanaka was ultimately convicted in June 2016 on conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges in relation to the federal probe and sentenced to five years in prison. He started serving his term at a minimum security facility in Colorado in January 2017.

The Citizens’ Commission, consisting of retired US District Judges Lourdes G.Baird, Robert Bonner, Dickran Tevrizian and Carlos Moreno, also did not spare Baca, who they accused of a failure to lead the department. “[T]he problem of excessive and unnecessary force in the Los Angeles County jails was the result of many factors, beginning most fundamentally with a failure of leadership in the Department,” the panel concluded. “Simply stated, the Sheriff did not pay enough attention to the jails until external events forced him to do so. Further, his senior leaders failed to monitor conditions in the jails and elevate use of force issues so that they received the necessary attention by the Sheriff, and the Undersheriff engaged in conduct that undermined supervision of aggressive deputies and promoted an environment of lax and untimely discipline of deputy misconduct.”

It’s interesting to look back now and see how Baca once wanted to put a homeless encampment outside Men’s Central Jail, near Chinatown, to house homeless inmates being released. He also promised to do something about the high number of mentally ill inmates doing time and getting beaten up by his deputies, calling county jails “the world’s largest mental institution.” Baca was a Republican who sometimes spoke like a Democrat, but little if anything positive ever happened on those two critical fronts during his 16 years in charge.

Now 77 and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, Baca was told by US District Judge Percy Anderson on Wednesday, January 15, that this was the end of the line, and that he would have to turn himself in no later than Feb. 5.

He will likely be made as comfortable as possible, and that’s important, in a morbidly ironic sort of way. But what’s really important is that people remember the real reason why Baca is going to prison. It’s not just for deceiving civil rights investigators, but ultimately for failing to do the job he was elected to do, which included protecting the lives and rights of inmates, staff and others in his care. n 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.23.20

FEET ON THE STREET REV. SUSAN RUSSELL JOINS PASADENA CONTINGENT AT SATURDAY’S WOMEN’S MARCH IN LA

BY MATT RODRIGUEZ

Photo of Lori Kizzia and the Rev. Susan Russell by Shilah Montiel

N

early 100 years ago people took to the streets to advocate for the ratification of the 19th amendment and women’s right to vote. On Saturday, protesters continued the fight against inequality during the Women’s March of 2020.

Thousands of people gathered at Pershing Square before marching to Los Angeles City Hall to hear speakers such as Congresswomen Maxine Waters, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and First Partner of California Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

Although there were fewer attendees than in years past, the protesters crowded most of Grand Park outside of LA City Hall.

“I think it matters that we take to the streets when we have to, that we show the power of the people,” said the Rev. Susan Russell of All Saints Church in Pasadena. “Those of us who choose to march represent hundreds of thousands of other people who can’t.”

Chris Runco, 67, a parishioner of All Saints Church, marched to LA City Hall for the second year in a row to support the many women in his life.

“It’s important for everybody,” Runco said. “I think in a lot of ways women are going to lead the way to us being more civil, sane and kind with each other.

Runco, who also marched in the 1960s in opposition to the war in Vietnam, hopes to achieve something similar: to foster a better world for his children and grandchildren.

“I’m really worried about what the world’s going to be like for my kids and my grandkids,” he said. “I know the most important thing I can do is everything I can so they have a better shot; that they can still have the kind of liberty and opportunities that we had.”

Jenny Tisi, a school teacher from Pasadena, also embodies the same message as Runco as she aims to set an example for the thousands of children she has taught throughout the years. Growing up Tisi believed that her voice did not matter, but now she recognizes she was very wrong. She hopes her students recognize the immense impact they could make on a democracy.

“I would encourage them to continue to stay passionate and fight for what they believe in,” said Tisi.

Emily Guereca, president of Women’s March Foundation in Los Angeles, hopes

the march has the same effect it has had for the past four years — getting women to vote.

“We hope women mobilize in 2020 to vote,” said Guereca. “Women have the power to choose the next president of the United States and it only happens when we mobilize… We saw what we could do in the midterms [and] we could do the same thing for the 2020 elections.”

The progress since the first Women’s March is visible. Guereca refers to the 2018 midterm election where a record-breaking 103 women were elected to Congress. It is also a time during which three women are currently vying to be the Democratic candidate for president. She hopes that this inspires young women to pursue public office and other positions of leadership.

“I think when young girls see other women in leadership then they aspire to be that,” she said. “I want a young girl to see herself as the president… I think when they see themselves in leadership they rise to the occasion.”

Guereca hopes the Women’s March helps institute a culture change. In the middle of a sea of signs was a poster board with gold trim representing one of the main tenets of the Women’s March: “The rise of women does not mean the fall of men.”

“The way to undermine us is to divide us,” said Rev. Russell. “The women’s march, at its best, is about people across all spectrums.”

Ben Nussman from Temple City wanted to participate in his first Women’s March after missing last year’s. He believes that its important for men to support equality for women and other oppressed populations.

“I just want to show young men that it’s OK to want to help people that are being oppressed and repressed by the male patriarchy,” Nussman said.

Even though it has been 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the Women’s March still shows that there is still more work in order to grant liberty and justice for all.

“For me, the Women’s March is the solidarity of people [with] differences led by women,” said Russell. “We’re willing to put our feet on the street in order to stand for liberty and justice for all as we work toward making it not just a pledge we make, but a reality we live.” n 01.23.20 | PASADENA WEEKLY 7

VOTERS GET A FEW MORE CHANCES TO DECIDE ON PASADENA’S NEXT MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

BY KEVIN UHRICH

I

n case anyone missed the candidate debates being held around Pasadena in recent weeks, fear not. Four more are on the immediate horizon, one of them taking place tonight.

And just in case anyone thought it was easy running for office in Pasadena, forget about it. It may be rewarding, even fun at times, but easy it is not. Nor is it cheap.

One person who doesn’t have to worry about such things is District 1 Councilman Tyron Hampton. Although he’s running unopposed, Hampton has reported accepting $5,000 from the Pasadena Police Officers Association’s (PPOA) Sacramento-based political action committee, or PAC, in December, according to state financial disclosure forms filed with the city by the candidates and posted on the city’s website.

Those who are actually campaigning include two candidates for Mayor and 11 for City Council seats in Districts 2, 4 and 6.

In District 2, where incumbent Margaret McAustin has opted to not seek a fourth term, candidate Kevin Litwin reported taking in $5,700 in contributions, with an ending cash balance of $1,560, and candidate Boghos “Bo” Patatian reported the $2,000 that he gave to his own campaign. It appears political newcomer Tricia Keane fared better, topping out at $13,500, mostly in late contributions, many from attorneys. But Planning Commission member Felicia Williams has by far been the biggest fundraiser in that race up to now, reporting $21,000 in individual contributions, from February 2019 to June 2019, then loaning her campaign $10,000, and taking in $2,000 from ACT on Jan. 14 and and $5,000 from the Pasadena Firefighter Association PAC on Dec. 9. Retired city planning official Marsha Rood, Altadena activist Monica Hubbard, Pasadena activists Nina Chomsky and Dianne Philibosian, political consultant Lena Kennedy, and former Pasadena Water and Power Department head Phyllis Currie were among 90 supporters who made contributions of between $100 and $750 to Williams’ campaign.

In District 4, a seat held by Councilman Gene Masuda, the two-term incumbent far outpaced his opponents in the area of contributions. Masuda’s been campaigning for re-election since 2016, updating his committee name each year, and again in January to match this year, which he did on Jan. 11, 2019. Another thing Masuda has done each year is report a personal $50,000 loan made to his own campaign, and he did it again this year. According to state records, from January to June, Masuda reported a straight $5,000 in the form of a contribution from himself, and $50,000 as a personal loan. In addition, Masuda received a $10,000 contribution from the Pasadena Pasadena Police Officers Association political action committee, or PAC, and $6,000 from the Pasadena Firefighters Association PAC. Candidate Kevin Wheeler reported receiving $2,000 from CREPAC, the California Real Estate PAC, on Dec. 30. And Candidate Charlotte Bland took in $4,500 on the same day, Jan. 13, with $2,000 coming from the local political group ACT, and and the International Union of Operating Engineers contributing $2,500.

Joe Baghdalian, who formed a campaign committee and started raising money in 2017, picked up $10,000 in contributions by the end of August, but spent more than $8,200. Baghdalian later received three more shots in the arm with a $3,000 donation from Diablo Racing of Irwindale and two personal contributions from himself totaling $8,500. He also received two $5,000 contributions from Anahid and Hourig Baghdalian.

In District 6, candidate Ryan Bell did not report receiving any campaign funds as of Dec. 4.

8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.23.20

From January to June 2019, attorney Tamerlin Godley reported receiving $11,363 in contributions, not including the $10,000 she gave to her own campaign.

Incumbent District 6 Councilman Steve Madison, who has been in office for 20 years and formally opened his re-election campaign in October, had previously reported loaning himself $47,000, with his campaign holding a $2,676 cash balance at the end of 2018. Starting again on Jan. 1, 2019, the campaign had a $2,586 cash balance. It wasn’t until the second week of December that Madison started collecting contributions in earnest, which by Jan. 17 totaled $18,800, $10,000 from the PPOA PAC, $2,000 from ACT, and the rest contributed by friends and fellow lawyers.

The race for mayor appears to be shaping up as a contest between incumbent Terry Tornek and District 5 City Councilman Victor Gordo, with former Councilwoman and mayoral candidate Jacque Robinson apparently filing the required paperwork to stay in the race, but raising no funds. Candidate Jason Hardin also reported no contributions. Newcomer Major Williams, however, raised $12,200 from 22 contributors, most of them from people in another city or out of state. With another $1,771 in miscellaneous cash contributions, and expenditures totaling $8,547, Williams reported an ending cash balance of nearly $5,544.

In the race between Tornek and Gordo, Tornek took in $84,000 from January 2019 to December, leaving an ending cash balance of $50,290, according to the disclosure form. Donors to Tornek’s campaign gave another $33,500 to the campaign between Dec. 15 and Jan. 15, the documents show. Tornek also loaned money to his own campaign, $8,000. His supporters included Nat Nehdar, vice chair of the city Human Relations Commission, who gave $100, Pasadena School Board member Scott Phelps, who gave $500, Old Pasadena property owner Carolyn Naber, who contributed $1,500, and the Portantino for Senate campaign, which contributed $795, according to the documents.

Gordo also raised large sums. Taking in $39,250 in contributions between midDecember and mid-January. Some of his supporters include former Mayor Bill Bogaard, Tornek’s predecessor, the Pasadena Firefighters Association PAC, former political consultant Bill Wardlaw, confidatne and friend of former LA Mayor Dick Riordan and husband of Ninth Circuit Appellate Court Judge Kim Wardlaw, and Andrea Van de Kamp, wife of the late former state Attorney General John Van de Kamp, who gave $2,500.

Tonight, Jan. 23, Maranatha School in West Pasadena will be the site of the feature appearances by four candidates running for mayor the three candidates running for the District 6 seat on the City Council.

Then, next week, Jan. 30, candidates for four council districts holding elections (District 1 Councilman Hampton is running unopposed) and the four candidates for mayor will appear at a debate sponsored by the group POP (People Organizing for Progress) and co-hosted by the NAACP, NDLA, and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA). That event will be held at Madison Elementary School, 515 Ashtabula St., Pasadena.

On Feb. 4, all the mayor and council candidates are expected to take part in what is likely a first-ever debate sponsored by groups focused primarily on the environment, specifically climate change. That debate will be held at the Jackie Robinson Recreation Center, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena.

And on Feb. 16, the four mayoral candidates are invited to a forum which will be followed with a meet and greet with people at Friendship Baptist Church, 80 W. Dayton St., in Old Pasadena.

Remember, Election Day is March 3. Please make a note of it. n

Acapulco Bullets and ‘American Dirt ’

JEANINE CUMMINS DISCUSSES HER TIMELY, ADRENALINE-PUMPED NOVEL AT VROMAN’S TUESDAY NIGHT

BY BLISS BOWEN

T

he opening sentences of Jeanine Cummins’ “American Dirt” plunge a reader into the action before politically tinged preconceptions can don armor. Standing at the toilet in his abuela’s bathroom, 8-year-old Luca doesn’t immediately recognize the “mild noise” whizzing past him as a bullet. As screams and gunfire erupt outside the open window, his mother Lydia shields him behind a tiled shower wall while assassins murder all 16 relatives at his cousin’s quinceañera, including his father Sebastián. Lydia and Luca cling to the only family they have left: each other.

CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

01.23.20 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

ACAPULCO BULLETS AND ‘AMERICAN DIRT’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

It’s a throat-grabbing scene worthy of a spy thriller. But “American Dirt” is not a genre novel, though the adrenaline-pumped page-turner does employ certain dramatic conventions. That scene emphatically answers existential questions that will arise by thrusting readers into Lydia and Luca’s traumatized shoes.

Lydia, an independent bookstore owner, has built a stable, loving life with the honorable Sebastián and mapobsessed Luca in their Acapulco home; she has also enjoyed an emotionally intense friendship with a gentlemanly shop customer, Javier. Too late she learns he heads the new cartel that has terrorized Acapulco and ordered the execution of her journalist husband and family. Tracked by Javier’s ubiquitous spies, including officials at the murder scene, Lydia is transformed into a kind of warrior Ma Joad, swallowing rage to protect Luca — and two dangerously beautiful Honduran sisters they befriend — by jumping on freight trains and hiking across the desert to el norte.

“When the idea first occurred to her as she squatted in the shade of the Oficina Central del Registro Civil, it occurred as camouflage: they could disguise themselves as migrants. But now that she’s sitting in this quiet library with her son and their stuffed backpacks, like a thunderclap, Lydia understands that it’s not a disguise at all. She and Luca are actual migrants. That is what they are. And that simple fact, among all the other severe new realities of her life, knocks the breath clean out of her lungs. All her life she’s pitied those poor people. … This is how it happens. … No one can stay in a brutal, bloodstained place.”

Lydia seeks help from Carlos, Sebastian’s college roommate, who operates a Pentecostal missionary program with his Indiana-born wife, but his wife is unwilling to endanger American students in her charge. Cummins compresses religious hypocrisy, cultural dissonance and proprietary grief into one tense exchange: “Are they just drive-by Samaritans?” Carlos asks. “They just want to make pancakes and take selfies with skinny brown children?”

Mother and son are buoyed elsewhere by lifesaving kindness from strangers — priests, a doctor, an asthmatic orphan, a bank teller whose nephew was beheaded — and whisper the names of slaughtered relatives like prayerful incantations. Lydia worries about the employees she abandoned and shadowboxes with grief that leaves her feeling “tatty as a scrap of lace, defined not so much by what she’s made of, but more by the shapes of what’s missing.” Luca, meanwhile, relives nightmarish memories to assuage his guilt for delighting in moments of wonder — festive church lights, riding through the country strapped to a train roof — when his slain father cannot.

Grim scenes of migrants falling off moving trains or being brutalized by federal agents gain import from factual details, and Cummins rachets up suspense with skill and psychologically astute language. But the book’s most penetrating during reflective moments when Lydia second-guesses her choices and ponders daily rituals and comforts such as morning coffee, moisturizer, and air conditioning that helped insulate her from the troubles of “those poor people.” Now they feel like impossible luxuries and though she has more material resources than most, it’s meager protection.

“Lydia is constantly reminded that her education has no purchase here, that she has no access to the kind of information that has real currency on this journey. Among migrants, everyone knows more than she does. How do you find a coyote, make sure he’s reputable, pay for your crossing, all without getting ripped off?”

10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.23.20

In the afterword as well as a recent interview with The New York Times, Cummins states she’s uncertain whether she is “the right person to tell this story.” The Maryland native gained insight from experiences with her husband, who was an undocumented immigrant when they married, and stories from her grandmother, a Puerto Rican immigrant; still, Cummins is not from Mexico. How would she respond if she lived somewhere that collapsed around her? Worried that her privilege would blind her to “certain truths,” she interviewed migrants, families, activists, lawyers and others in Mexico and the US over four years while writing the book. That research gives “American Dirt” humane, ripped-from-the-headlines verisimilitude. Additionally, she writes, her 2004 bestseller “A Rip in Heaven: A Memoir of Murder and Its Aftermath,” about the rape and murder of two cousins, made her “more interested in stories about victims than perpetrators”; her depictions of characters are nuanced with great empathy for their sometimes Solomonic choices.

Expectations for “American Dirt,” Cummins’ fourth book, have been high since 2018, when nine publishing houses engaged in a rare bidding war ultimately won by Flatiron Books, and its gritty evocations of migrants — “singular individuals … not one faceless brown mass,” Cummins writes — have provoked some debate about who has the right to tell migrants’ stories. That is an important discussion. Equally worthy is their humanity, and hopefully the book’s fictional scenarios will deepen consideration of the real-life, complex issues driving people to the border. n Jeanine Cummins discusses and signs “American Dirt” at Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28; free admission, but those wanting Cummins to sign their book must purchase a copy in-store. Info: (626) 449-5320.

While this meant those of us in line to order would have to wait longer to be seated, it did not hinder the excitement of trying their much sought-after bowls of soup. Usually offered at Japanese or sushi restaurants, udon is a type of thick-cut wheat noodle, served in a mildly flavored broth with beef or chicken and vegetables. Unlike ramen and pho, which have largely taken over the dining scene, udon has not had its own rise to fame.

Marugame Udon and Tempura is looking to change that.

Located next to McDonald’s in the Glendale Galleria food court, it’s only the third location in the Los Angeles area but among more than a 1,000 restaurants worldwide, mostly outside of the United States. Their quick service approach

seems to be working; with customers lining up in droves at the Galleria.

Marugame Udon and Tempura serves its food cafeteria style, where patrons line up, pick up a tray and begin the ordering journey. When I finally visited, a staff member stood at the front of the line and called customers up when there was enough room to seat more. Despite the wait and its small dining area, the line moved more quickly than I expected.

There were also enough signs around explaining the proper steps to make one’s way through the line, and friendly staff to further guide in the right direction.

Zelo Pizzeria has expanded the dining room to better serve you, so come in and give Zelo Pizzeria a try.

While it sounds straightforward, I was both surprised at how much I fell in love with the concept and menu options and shocked that it hadn’t made its way to us sooner.

Just beyond the glass is the open kitchen, showcasing udon noodles in the making, chicken and meat being cut and cooked, and the staff in constant communication, relaying orders or how many people are in each party and ensuring them there was enough seating available before taking more orders.

I immediately knew I wanted to try one of their curry udon dishes, so I went with chicken. After choosing my meal, I approached the station for toppings, which consisted of tempura flakes and green onions. At this point, you can also request extras like chicken, beef or a soft-boiled egg for an upcharge. Once they handed over my bowl of goodness, I moved onto the tempura station, arguably both the best and worst part. Best, because it’s tempura, and worst because it was difficult to make a hasty decision in the midst of a long line. I managed and went with chicken, sweet potato and asparagus. On several occasions when ordering veggie tempura at sushi restaurants, it’s no surprise to receive a vast majority of onion and broccoli, so it was nice to wield the power to choose my own vegetables.

Once I paid and had my tray ready to go, a staff member guided me to my seat and pointed toward the table behind me where they offered soy sauce, tempura sauce and a couple of hot sauces.

Tempura was fried to perfection and I regretted not piling more onto my plate. Yet, the chicken curry udon is now one of the favorite meals I’ve had as of late. The shredded chicken and tempura

flakes mixed seamlessly into the thick, flavorpacked broth. This time, unlike many of my dining excursions, there was not enough left over to take home.

While my curry udon was amazing, their menu item listed as the best seller is the nikutama udon, ordered by a group ahead of me and behind me in line, and a clear favorite on Yelp. It is served in a sweet beef broth and topped with a soft-boiled egg. Other must-try bowls are the spicy chicken udon, which is on the menu for a limited time, and their black tonkatsu udon.

They also offer a wide array of tasty sides like musubi rice balls consisting of spam, crab meat and inari (fried bean curd stuffed with vinegar flavored rice).Other tempura options include shrimp, fish, pumpkin, and zucchini. Further down the side section are croquettes.

Marugame Udon’s concept is interesting, but what makes it most fascinating is how the staff works together to ensure they don’t miss a beat.

On top of that is how attentive they are to their customers — likely because they have to work in such a small space with high demand, but everyone seemed genuinely happy to help. When I finished my meal and a staff member noticed the slightest hesitation to check where I could leave my tray, he ran over and said, “Oh, I will take that from you.” Not 30 seconds before I walked away, someone else walked up behind him to wipe down the table where I was seated to be ready for the next customer. They’re fast, efficient and friendly, and it’s easy to see why they have been able to expand and succeed so rapidly.

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER

MOVING PAST THE PAST FEELINGS LEFT UNRESOLVED CAN TRANSFER TO HOW ONE ADJUSTS TO PRESENT-DAY CIRCUMSTANCES Dear Patti, I recently got married and have been spending more time with my husband’s family. Even though I realize my mother-in-law is a nice woman, every time I am around her I get uncomfortable. I alternate between feeling either intimidated and shy or withdrawn and resentful. I keep thinking thoughts about how she’s uppity, a know-it-all, too bossy or controlling. However, when I am away from the situation and think about it, I recognize that she has done nothing wrong. The truth is, she has not been domineering or interfering at all. In fact, she goes out of her way to stay out of affairs with my husband, her son. She’s also been supportive of and interested in my ideas, the opposite of how I was treated as a kid.

When I was young and lived with my parents, I was very happy until my grandmother came to live with us. She was extremely demanding and dominating.

She would act like she reigned over our whole family. My parents didn’t protect me against her. I felt like a second-class citizen in my own home and had to fight to have any rights at all.

I’m pretty sure that I am reacting to my mother-in-law as if she’s my grandmother and I don’t want to do that. I’m not a helpless child anymore and it’s time to move on from old history and drama and leave it behind. I want to bond with my new family and have the ability to create new positive relationships with my new family members. Why can’t I just move past the past?

— Abby Dear Abby, This is a very exciting time for you, a whole new chapter in your life. As is often the case when people move forward, however, it’s not without a mix of backward glances and the awkward weight of emotional baggage. These old unfinished or unprocessed feelings can influence how one adjusts to the latest change in present circumstances.

You want to heal from the pain of past traumas so they won’t interfere with your life today. That is an excellent choice. You have already taken the first critical step by recognizing that your mother-in-law is treating you fine, but you realize that you were emotionally reacting as if her behavior were a cruel carbon copy of what you previously experienced with your grandmother. This is called transference.

The more you acknowledge and experience your repressed feelings toward your grandmother, the less power those historic feelings will be able to exert on what you are doing and feeling in the present with your mother-in-law.

To accomplish this objective and reduce the tendency to transfer your feelings onto others, I would strongly recommend professional counseling. Find a therapist whom you trust and feel connected to. Keep in mind, however, that there is a good possibility you will eventually transfer feelings onto your therapist as well. That is often part of the therapeutic process which your therapist will guide you through. The goal is for the two of you to create a safe, private space in which you carefully examine and heal these painful memories.

Until then, try this exercise. Write down all of the traits — both good and bad — that characterized your grandmother. Then, on a separate piece of paper, write down all of the traits that your mother-in-law exhibits. After reviewing both lists, write down the behaviors from your grandmother’s list that you are currently transferring onto your mother-in-law. Look clearly at the difference.

The next step is to choose a negative trait from your grandmother’s list and remember a specific time where she exhibited that trait and you felt mistreated as a result.

See the experience in your mind’s eye and allow yourself to feel all your anger and hurt. Do that with each negative trait and you will begin to understand where all of this is rooted.

Share this experience with your new therapist. You may find that therapeutic work will help your current relationships with your mother and father, and even your grandmother if you are still in contact with her. Regardless of those relationships, you will definitely experience improvement in your current contacts with others, including your mother-in-law.

Don’t let the past interfere with your new relationships and other relationships to come. n Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena.

RIGHT TIME, RITE SPOT Pasadena celebrates 96th anniversary of the accidental invention of the cheeseburger

As legend has it, in 1924 teenager Lionel Sternberger was working at his dad’s roadside stand, The Rite Spot, on what was known then as Colorado Street, and accidentally burned one side of a customer’s hamburger patty. In an effort to cover up the mistake, the teen placed a piece of cheese on the burned side, thus creating what was first known as the The Aristocratic Burger, then simply a hamburger with cheese, and finally the cheeseburger. Word soon spread and customers flocked to The Rite Spot to enjoy the tasty treat, making Sternberger’s achievement the first verified instance of someone serving a hamburger with cheese to a customer.

In celebration of Sternberger’s accidental invention, 40 Pasadena restaurants, lounges and burger joints will be offering their own signature cheeseburgers, some special creations and great deals during Pasadena Cheeseburger Week, from Jan. 26 to Jan. 31.

Sternberger would later perfect his Aristocratic Burger, much to the delight of customers at The Rite Spot, and his culinary achievement has been documented by “Hamburger America,” the Los Angeles Times and Time magazine in its obituary of Sternberger.

To celebrate Sternberger’s invention, Pasadena restaurant patrons can experience the Zacatecas Burger from El Portal and Yahaira’s, the K-POP from Dog Haus and Dog Haus Biergarten, the Impossible Burger at Umami, or the traditional, and nationally recognized, cheeseburger at Pie ‘n Burger.

New participants for 2020 include Roy’s, Alexander’s Steakhouse, Smitty’s Grill and Granville.

Pie ‘n Burger, Dog Haus and Dog Haus Biergarten and Roy’s are among those offering special prices and/or offerings created for Cheeseburger Week.

Participating restaurants include: 1919 Cafe at the Huntington, Alexander’s Steakhouse, Cameron’s Seafood, Clearman’s Galley, Dog Haus (Hill Avenuet location) and Dog Haus Biergarten, El Portal Restaurant, Granville, Green Street Restaurant, Kathleen’s Restaurant, Kings Row Gastropub, Lucky Baldwin’s Pub, Lucky Baldwin’s Trappiste Pub and Cafe, Mi Piace (lunch only), Pie ‘n Burger, Plate 38, Roy’s, Ruth’s Chris Steak House (Happy Hour menu), Slater’s 50/50,Smitty’s Grill, The Stand, The Terrace at the Langham, True Food Kitchen, Umami Burger, White Horse Lounge and Yahaira’s Cafe.

Cheeseburger Week is a Pasadena Restaurant Week and California Restaurant Month event presented by the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Wells Fargo.

KEEPER OF THE FLAME

KRES MERSKY’S ONE-WOMAN PLAY ‘THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A. EINSTEIN’ IS PERFORMED ONE NIGHT ONLY AT CALTECH

BY JANA J. MONJI

F

or a brief time, Albert Einstein was a winter bird, flying to the comfortable climes of Pasadena for three winters, 1931, 1932 and 1933. He stayed the second and third time at Caltech’s Athenaeum at what is now known as the Einstein Suite.

In a one-night-only performance, Einstein will be back at Caltech as an unseen presence in Kres Mersky’s one-woman play, “The Life and Times of A. Einstein,” at 8 p.m. Saturday at Beckman Auditorium.

Although Einstein was a visiting professor at Caltech, he ultimately decided to accept a position at Princeton University in New Jersey. But he had fond memories of Pasadena: “Here in Pasadena it is like Paradise,” he once wrote. “Always sunshine and clear air, gardens with palms and pepper trees and friendly people who smile at one and ask for autographs.”

In Mersky’s play, the audience is a throng of reporters waiting to interview him in 1934 — after his time in California, and when he was already settled in at Princeton.

The occasion is Einstein’s birthday, and his secretary Ellen Schoenhammer (Mersky) is attempting to entertain and answer questions as the reporters await his arrival.

She will reveal aspects of Einstein’s household when the new housekeeper, Anna, has made a mistake, and she’ll tell reporters what not to ask, what to expect and even attempt to explain in layman terms Einstein’s theory of relativity. You’ll meet her again, 17 years later — after the World War II has ended, and as she announces Einstein’s death in 1955.

Between those three time jumps, Einstein and his generation had seen many changes. Born in 1879 into an Ashkenazi Jewish family, Einstein was a citizen of the German Empire from 1879 to 1896. After renouncing his German citizenship, Einstein became a Swiss citizen in 1901. By 1934, he was already renowned for having been awarded a Nobel Prize in 1921. Yet, 1934 was a turbulent time for Europe, and

an increasingly dangerous place for Jews.

In Germany, Adolf Hitler became chancellor in 1933, then Führer the following year. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland. Einstein became a US citizen in 1940, five years before the end of World War II. Ellen Schoenhammer is completely fictionalized creation by Mersky but based on Helen Dukas (1896-1982), Einstein’s secretary from 1928. Dukas was with Einstein and his second-wife Elsa when they were in Pasadena. She remained with him after Elsa’s death in 1936. Dukas went on to protect Einstein’s legacy, including co-writing books on him; Einstein was effectively Dukas’ life work until her own death.

After researching Dukas for five years, Mersky wrote a play about what being a genius’ secretary might have been like. Her Ellen, like Dukas, is a German Jewish woman and devoted to her employer. In one of its previous iterations, the play received a good review from the LA Weekly during its one-month run at Theatre West in 2010.

Under the direction of her husband, Paul Gertson, Mersky has taken this show to a variety of venues, most recently for a one-night performance in Modesto, but surely there are few venues better suited than Beckman Auditorium for such a show.

There will undoubtedly be audience members who better understand Einstein’s theories and his impact on science, as well as modern culture. But the play will also surely leave future scientists with the notion that secretaries matter and good secretaries can burnish one’s reputation and preserve one’s legacy, and even become a reflection of themselves. n ”The Life and Times of A. Einstein” begins at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Beckman Auditorium, 1200 E California Blvd, Pasadena. Tickets are $10 to $40. For tickets an more information, call the Caltech Ticket Office at (626) 395-4652 or visit events.caltech.edu/series/pa/einstein.

A Family Tradition

THE HADEN TRIPLETS CELEBRATE ‘THE FAMILY SONGBOOK’ AT ZEBULON FRIDAY NIGHT

D

igging through sheet music in the old family piano bench can yield many pleasurable surprises — especially when your family’s played a supporting role in country, folk and jazz music history.

The Haden Triplets’ ingratiating new album, “The Family Songbook,” arose from just such a discovery after their uncle found his namesake father’s songbook, “Favorites of the Haden Family.” The triplets, of course, are Petra, Rachel and Tanya, daughters of late jazz bassist Charlie Haden and each respected as eclectic artists in their own right. Their grandfather, Carl E. Haden, palled around in his day with country royals like the Carter Family and Porter Wagoner, and headed up a Haden Family radio show in Missouri (where Charlie improbably began his music career as a yodeling “cowboy” toddler).

The Haden Triplets pay respect to that family heritage and its place within broader American history, opening “The Family Songbook” with the Appalachian traditional “Wayfaring Stranger,” in a mysterious arrangement haunted by Greg Leisz’s watery pedal steel, before presenting their grandfather’s “Who Will You Love.” It’s one of four songs on the album that he composed as a young man during the Depression, and with its sweet melody and romantic plea it strongly resembles early Carter Family efforts. Haden’s “Ozark Moon,” “Memories of Will Rogers” and “Gray Mother Dreaming” (the latter written with Ernie Harvey) also fit that hopeful folk template. The simple, sturdily constructed tunes afford the sisters ample room to braid their silken three-part harmonies, supported

18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.23.20

by an agile crew that includes guitarists Doyle Bramhall II and Bill Frisell; late Canned Heat bassist Larry Taylor; drummer Jay Bellerose; and percussionist Joachim Cooder.

The Haden songbook also includes “Every Time I Try,” composed by the triplets’ brother Josh Haden for director Wim Wenders’ 1997 thriller “The End of Violence.” In contrast with Josh’s band Spain’s earnest folk-pop recording for the film, the sisters’ rendition sounds like a dream overheard through a window; it’s less a plea than a confession, with strings supplanted by Leisz’s pedal steel. Other surprises include a cover of Jeff Bhasker and Kanye West’s “Say You Will” — instead of droid-like blips and Autotuned vocals, the song is given a flavor of the Old West — and a faithful reprise of Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch’s bewitching lullaby “Pretty Baby” from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” that is a natural fit for the Hadens’ close, soothing harmonies.

Those statement-making choices are followed by a trio of standards: “Wildwood Flower,” F.J. Berry and J.H. Carr’s “What Would You Give” (first published in a shape-note songbook in 1912 and recorded in 1936 by brothers Bill and Charlie Monroe), and Albert Brumley’s gospel hymn “I’ll Fly Away.” They’re a fitting close to a contemporary “Family Songbook” solidly connected to its Appalachian roots. n The Haden Triplets celebrate the release of “The Family Songbook” with special guest Spain at Zebulon Cafe, 2478 Fletcher Drive, Silver Lake, 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24; $15. Tickets available at eventbrite.com/e/the-hadentriplets-record-release-show-tickets-80191891105. Info: (323) 663-6875. HadenTriplets.com, Zebulon.la

BY BLISS

ES AMAZONES D’AFRIQUE, Amazones Power (Real World)HHH½

The multigenerational, pan-African collective confronts misogyny, forced marriage, FGM and other violence against women throughout their second stylistically varied set. Co-founder Mamani Keïta returns from 2017’s “Republique Amazone,” as does fellow Malian diva Rokia Koné (occasionally recalling the late Khaira Arby).

Women asserting their right to be heard in diverse, dynamic ways is compelling, though the album’s less musically compelling than its predecessor.

Highlights: Keïta’s “Love,” Koné’s “Queens,” Guinean artist Niaruiu’s hallucinogenic “Heavy” (with Boy Fall and Jon Grace from Parisian combo Nyoko Bokbae saluting female elders), throaty Algerian singer Nacera Ouali Mesbah’s determined “Rebels” (“We want to live free”). realworldrecords.com

JIM AND SUSIE MALCOLM, The Berries (Beltane): HHH

A discerning collection of folk balladry composed by the likes of Ewan MacColl, Jean Redpath, and 18th-century poets Robert Burns and Robert Tannahill. Acoustic fans will likely savor Malcolm’s pristine guitar playing and the Scottish troubadour’s soothing vocal warmth, though the sweetening effect created by wife Susie’s clear harmonies glosses working-class characters and struggles such as Hamish Henderson’s “John Maclean’s March,” about the imprisoned WWI socialist’s homecoming. Other highlights: Belle Stewart’s harmonica-embellished “The Berry Fields o’ Blair,” the travellers’ anthem “The Twa Gadgies.”

At Caltech’s Beckman Institute Auditorium Friday, Jan. 24. JimMalcolm.com

DEVON GILFILLIAN, Black Hole Rainbow (Capitol): HHH

Slick production makes this an ear-friendly showcase, though it also muffles some of the edgy charisma that distinguishes the southeast Pennsylvania native’s live performances and self-titled 2016 EP. Gilfillian’s emotive baritone reflects an affinity for Al Green and Otis Redding; guitar riffs and stylized harmonies also evoke ’70s soul (“Stay a Little Longer”), but strong hooks aren’t always framed by equally memorable songs.

Highlights: the rocking “Unchained,” “Lonely” (“Out of ashes comes the start of something new”), “Full Disclosure.” Devongilfillian.com

TERRY ALLEN & THE PANHANDLE MYSTERY BAND, Just Like Moby Dick (Paradise of Bachelors): HHH½

Despite the leviathan title, the venerated Texas artist’s steel-polished melodies conjure tequila nights, desert vistas and psychedelic illuminations.

It’s a mordant, sharply etched, thought-provoking ramble through love, war, natural disasters, dead friends, vampires, pirates, and Houdini’s search for ghosts he didn’t believe, with convivial contributions from wife/collaborator Jo Harvey Allen, guitarist/co-producer Charlie Sexton, Dobroist Lloyd Maines, and sultry vocalist Shannon McNally. Highlights: “Death of the Last Stripper” (co-written with Allen and Dave Alvin), gracious waltz “All That’s Left is Fare-Thee-Well” (co-written with Sexton and Joe Ely), and “Sailin’ on Through” (“The highway’s a snake/ Hard as a habit/ Gone bad is to break”). At Zebulon in Silverlake Feb. 15-16.terryallen.bandcamp. com, terryallenartmusic.com

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not 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.
