Mars may be a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Indeed, I couldn’t live there because it lacks all the elements needed for complex life. The moon is equally unpromising.

On the other hand, our Earth, formerly so generous with the means for our existence, is in big trouble.

We’ve inflicted grave injury on these resources — land, air, water. Carbon misplacement is warming the Earth and acidifying the oceans, threatening both marine and terrestrial life.

And it is clear from the science that conditions already exist for it to become much worse.

So when I hear all the exuberant plans to return to the moon and then go on to Mars, I can’t help but wonder, are these people crazy?

It is Earth that so urgently requires our attention, that needs a concerted, well-funded and comprehensive project to save our own planet’s viability. And we need it now.

Something like that plan has already passed one house of our legislature and gone nowhere. It was a good start.

Mars can wait. ~ MARGARET MORRIS VIA EMAIL

DO THE RIGHT THING To Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek and members of the City Council: I am begging you, please, please, please DO NOT allow the powers that be to be swayed in favor of making a lot of money over doing what is right and what is so necessary for the people that reside in the city of Pasadena.

I understand very well the temptation to simply make a lot of money

by turning the Julia Morgan YWCA property into more overpriced condos, but I ask you to please take a moment to ponder this question: What is really more important and in the best interest of the current residents of Pasadena? To provide housing for those who are already homeless and for those residents who become displaced on a daily basis because of pure greed, or to provide more overpriced condos to the same group of wealthy people over and over again?

You might try to assuage your inclination toward the “money” by telling yourselves, and others, that what you would be doing is providing needed housing. I believe we all know in the back of our minds that nothing could be farther from the truth, as these would not be “housing” per se — but will be second, third, fourth or yet another real estate investment for the same people to either make more money from charging astronomical rents or to gift to their college-aged children.

While I can understand wanting your children to be comfortably housed, we have entire families living in homeless shelters and cars.

I beg of you to please do the right thing here and vote in favor of either homeless housing or at least

completely affordable housing for those who already live in Pasadena and have nowhere else to turn. Not just a few units.

I have been a resident in this area for 30 years and frankly I am tired of losing my good neighbors to the pure greed that has taken over. Many of us long-time residents live in dire fear of “when it’s our turn …”

As it is, you have already ruined what was once a very special place in Pasadena — Ambassador College.

It is time for those who have been elected to represent the residents of Pasadena to actually start thinking about those residents, rather than the “possible residents” we can attract by building more of the same.

If you really hold the current residents of Pasadena in such disregard, perhaps you should be serving on a town council that aligns better with your agendas. ~ PATRICIA CUNLIFFE ALTADENA

DNC IS OTL (OUT TO LUNCH) I’m writing this letter because I’ve read articles in the past in support of reducing carbon emissions. It is a major concern of mine that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has not decided to hold any debates centered on climate change. I am writing this as a concerned member of the community. We must get the DNC to bring this subject to the spotlight.

It is imperative that our Democratic candidates discuss the climate crisis and share what actions they plan to take to prevent this problem from getting worse.

For example, how do they plan on making renewable energy affordable and accessible for everyone? I live in California where forest fires are more likely to happen because of the dry, harsh conditions of our environment.

We must take action now before it’s too late and the damage becomes irreversible. We have to urge the DNC to discuss openly, on a major platform, how they plan to combat this very serious issue.

I am a millennial and a member of Greenpeace. Of course, I am dedicated to retaining our very livelihood on this beautiful home we call Earth. I just can’t do it alone! ~ JESSIE ANDREWS PASADENA 08.29.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 5

BY DOUG FORBES

A PARENT’S NIGHTMARE OUR DAUGHTER DROWNED AT SUMMERKIDS CAMP, AND SO DID WE

Few parents are suddenly forced to make cremation arrangements for 6-year-olds. But my wife and I recently found ourselves in the dusky light of a mortuary conference room discussing ashes and urns.

We used to adore Fridays. That was before Roxie Mirabelle Forbes — our only child — drowned in the Altadena Summerkids camp pool on Friday, June 28. It was the last day of our lives as we knew them. It was also the first day that a colossal body of misery moved into our home without any intention of leaving.

Our new script reads something like this: Wake up to pin-drop silence. Wait for the rapid pitter-patter of a little girl’s footsteps toward our bedroom door. Realize that the imminent euphoria will soon be consumed by the chaotic drumbeat of despair.

Then comes the shaking to the bone. Then the wailing. Then the deep breaths to mitigate panic. Then the silence. And then the cruel, constant reprise of agony.

Before we’re able to open Roxie’s bedroom door each day, for a millisecond we wonder if there is any possibility she might still be on the other side. Maybe she’s carefully clicking Legos into place. Crafting odd, Cubist-like drawings that made our hearts sing. Staging plays with a cast of plastic characters on whose behalf she whispers a range of delicious voices.

But Roxie is never there. After all, this is real life, and real death. Her trucks and stuffed animals and books and pencils and shoes and hats and sunglasses no longer have their favorite companion. A once infinitely animated space is now without a trace of oxygen.

That’s because Roxie gave all the air she had left to the unforgiving waters of a summer camp pool.

No more burgeoning friendships at San Rafael Spanish immersion school. No more Go Fish battles with “Gramma.” No more sublime visits with any family, any friends. No more milk moustaches. No more bike rides to feed ducks. No more birthdays, holidays, Mondays or Fridays. No more quiet conversations about how the world works. No more firsts.

No more “Momma.” No more “Daddy.” No more hourly “I love yous.” No more parenting.

Roxie landed on us like a mini-meteor in 2012 — seven weeks early and sub-three pounds. My wife and I like to think it’s because, after three miscarriages, she was hellbent on finally getting the party started.

That party, however, was rudely and repeatedly interrupted by eight battles with pneumonia within four years. Diagnosis: rare immunodeficiency disorder. In fact, her gene mutation was the only one of its kind on the planet. Oh, and she had a couple holes in her heart too. But they eventually closed on their own. Roxie said it’s because she had superpowers.

Despite all that and a slight motor skills delay, Roxie did what other kids did. She ran, jumped, danced, sang, traveled, played in pools, learned to read and drove us nuts with her willfulness. Normal stuff. Growing up stuff. And she was funny as all get-out … like pee-inyour-pants funny.

Best of all, she loved to love. In fact, she lived to love.

Interactions were far more important than stuff. Hugs were her favorite currency. And man, was she the best hugger. Over and again, everyone who knew her — for minutes or years — reminded us that she was a little girl who did, in fact, leave the world a better place than she found it.

We always sang and read to Roxie before bedtime. But on June 28, we did so by the side of a lifeless vessel. Her heart pumped at the command of tubes and drugs. Her once bewitching blue eyes were half-open yet vacant. Her skin cold, colorless. Lovely little limbs were bloated beyond recognition. Her body smelled of metal. Gorgeous blonde locks hung stiff, straw-like.

Parents send kids to camps like Summerkids to live big, not die small. Roxie needed to be with children. She needed to explore within a safe and nurturing environment.

However, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s report, Roxie died of nothing more than a “near drowning,” which means she died at the pool, her heart was restarted 20 to 40 minutes later, but her brain and body could never recover.

A homicide detective investigating the drowning said a lifeguard (actually a counselor) who was in charge of Roxie’s area was “distracted” and “a counselor leading a different group outside of the pool area noticed Roxie floating face down in the pool.”

So, we know the truth. And now we know the consequences.

Camps like Summerkids — regardless of their reputation or duration — lack critical oversight. In fact, California is one of only 13 states that allows day camps to operate without a license, which equates to extremely limited oversight. Summerkids is also not accredited by the American Camp Association, an organization that affords vital operational guidance.

How can we regulate day care providers but not regulate far more rigorous day camps that care for thousands of children? This is unconscionable.

My wife sobs uncontrollably. I now tremble without pause. Three lives ended because a camp did not honor a basic promise — to keep our baby safe. What couldn’t possibly happen to us did happen to us.

Our foundation will end this senseless, ceaseless battery of preventable near-drowning incidents and drowning deaths, the leading cause of injury-related death in US children ages 1 to 4 and the third leading cause of unintentional injury for those ages 5 to 19. We will also support pediatric health initiatives through Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Contact me at dougliveshere@gmail.com.

For now, hug your kids. Tell them you love them. ■ 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.29.19

GROWING PAINS

INITIATIVE WOULD ALLOW FORMER ‘NUISANCE’ CANNABIS OPERATORS TO REOPEN

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

C

ouncilman Victor Gordo on Monday pleaded with Mayor Terry Tornek to place on the council’s agenda a discussion on a possible ballot initiative that, if approved, could flood the city with marijuana dispensaries.

“The city is in danger of having a thoughtful initiative that was voted into law by the people completely reversed,” Gordo said during the council’s Monday meeting.

“The biggest danger is we will have these shops open anywhere and everywhere in the city with harm to our neighborhoods and to our business districts,” Gordo said.

The People’s Initiative to Preserve the Existing Operation of NonOffending Commercial Cannabis Businesses would allow marijuana dispensaries previously deemed illegal to operate with impunity in Pasadena.

Proponents of the measure, one of them Bradley Hertz, a lawyer who initiated a failed recall effort against Gordo earlier this year, submitted 12,900 signatures to City Clerk Mark Jomsky’s office on July 31. The signatures have been turned over to the Los Angeles County Registrar’s Office for verification. The county has until Sept.

12 to verify the signatures.

“It’s definitely going to be agendized,” Mayor Terry Tornek told Gordo.

To qualify for the March election, backers of the ballot measure need 8,542 valid signatures from Pasadena voters.

If the signatures are certified, the City Council can adopt the measure as an ordinance, which seems highly unlikely, submit the ordinance without alteration to the voters, or order a report on the impacts of the initiative for the council within 30 days of the date of certification of the signatures. Following the report, the council

can then submit the initiative for a vote, or come up with its own initiative to nullify the other measure.

Last year, the City Council banned so-called nuisance dispensaries from applying for business licenses under the city’s cannabis law, which allows up to six dispensaries to operate in Pasadena.

According to the city’s highly regulated process, only one dispensary is allowed to operate in each council district, and dispensaries must adhere to strict distance limits from schools, libraries and churches. But all of that would be out the window if voters pass the initiative.

“Non-offending commercial cannabis businesses may continue engaging in commercial cannabis activity within the city of Pasadena without a commercial cannabis permit from the city of Pasadena until December 31, 2024,” according to the initiative. “Non-offending commercial cannabis businesses operating without a permit pursuant to this subdivision shall not be deemed, ordered discontinued, modified, or removed as a public nuisance pursuant to the Pasadena Municipal Code based solely on their engagement in commercial cannabis activities permitted by this Chapter. Owners of non-offending commercial cannabis businesses operating without a permit pursuant to this subdivision may apply for a commercial cannabis permit from the city of Pasadena at any time. After December 31, 2024, all commercial cannabis businesses may operate only after such businesses apply for and receive a commercial cannabis permit pursuant to this Chapter.”

The initiative also removes distance locations from schools, churches and residential zones for cannabis businesses that began

DMV HANDBOOK EXPLAINING CIVIL RIGHTS DURING TRAFFIC STOPS DUE OUT IN SPRING

New language in the state Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) handbook informing drivers of their rights during and after a traffic stop will appear in the book next spring.

The handbook currently includes sections on rail transit safety, abandonment or dumping of animals on a highway and the importance of respecting the right-of-way of others, particularly pedestrians, bicycle riders, and motorcycle riders.

AB 2918 — authored by Democratic Assemblyman Chris Holden, a former Pasadena City Council member — requires the department to also include within the handbook information regarding a person’s civil rights during a traffic stop, including the right to file a complaint against a peace officer, as developed by the civil rights section of the Department of Justice in consultation with the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of the California Highway Patrol, the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, and civil rights organizations.

“Knowing your rights is a right in itself.

That is why I authored Assembly Bill 2918,” Holden told the Pasadena Weekly. “The Driver’s Handbook includes suggestions on how to conduct oneself during a traffic stop, but stops short of stating the rights of the driver. Safety is paramount and being informed of your rights can help alleviate stress and avoid escalations caused by being on edge. I’m looking forward to seeing the new language in the 2020 DMV handbook.”

The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Immigration Law Center and the National Center for Youth Law helped craft the language in the bill, which was signed into law in April.

The new information addresses the extent of a peace officer’s authority during a traffic stop and the legal rights of drivers and passengers, including, but not limited to the right to file complaints against a peace officer.

“Studies show that people of color in California are most affected by traffic stops. Safety is paramount and staying informed of the driver’s rights can help alleviate stress and avoid escalations caused by being on edge,” said Holden in June 2018 when the bill was introduced.

The state has never collected data from police departments identifying racial demographics involving people involved in traffic stops.

In 2015, Gov. Jerry Brown signed the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA), which requires law enforcement agencies to collect basic information during police stops in response to growing concerns about racial profiling and police misconduct. Pasadena will start collecting that data in 2023.

HARD LESSONS

PUSD OFFICIALS FORCED TO DISCUSS MORE SCHOOL CLOSURES

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

In an Aug. 21 letter, Pasadena Unified School District Superintendent Brian McDonald announced the school district will once again be forced to discuss closing schools.

“To deepen student access to PUSD’s excellent programs at every site, the PUSD Board of Education convened the limited-term Master Planning & Boundaries Subcommittee in November 2018 to review programs and school capacity and develop recommendations on the number and location of school sites our district should keep open in the next five to 10 years,” McDonald wrote.

McDonald is currently on paid leave dealing with an undisclosed ailment. He blamed rising housing costs and lower birth rates on the district’s plunging enrollment, which shrank by 374 students this year, and by 1,259 students over the past five years.

Local housing costs have skyrocketed in that time. In some buildings, a onebedroom apartment rents for well over $2,000. The rising costs have forced many parents to pull their children out of the district and move east to the Inland Empire, where housing is cheaper.

“Our board is facing tough decisions that will impact students and families across our district,” McDonald wrote. “We must do more so that every student has access to educational opportunities in order to achieve.”

According to the letter, PUSD has an average of 630 students per campus in schools in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre. Neighboring school districts average 900 to 1,000 students per campus. Statewide, enrollment averages 519 for elementary, 766 for middle schools, and 1,331 for high schools.

Last year, the school board voted to close Cleveland Elementary School.

Cleveland experienced a 46 percent drop in enrollment since 2016 and only had 99 students when the board voted to close it. Franklin and Wilson middle schools were also considered for closure last year. Only 183 students attend Franklin, which has experienced a 25 percent enrollment drop over the past two years. Wilson’s population has decreased 15 percent over the same time period and currently has 485 students.

Those two schools could be a focal point when district staff presents its recommendations for school closures and consolidations to school board members on Sept. 19.

“While we have addressed right-sizing our district with school consolidations several times over the last decade, the board is taking a long-term view to ensure that every child in PUSD has access to stable and excellent educational opportunities in the years to come,” McDonald wrote. “The difficult decisions of today will lay a strong and stable foundation for the long-term future of our schools and community.” n

MORE FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

A DECADE AFTER STATION FIRE, LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS ARE FORCED TO QUICKLY CONTAIN BRUSHFIRE IN GLENDALE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Firefighters continued working to maintain control of a blaze in Glendale that burned more than 30 acres on Sunday and forced the closure of a portion of the 134 Freeway, which connects Pasadena to the San Fernando Valley.

“We arrived around 8 a.m. this morning, and since we’ve been here, this is not a wind-driven fire, it’s been topography driven,” said Los Angeles Fire Battalion Chief Jim Holland. “The wind has been actually in our favor.”

The steep terrain has been a big challenge to firefighters, according to Holland.

As of Monday night, the fire was 70 percent contained despite a flare-up Monday near Eagle Rock. No homes were burned and no serious injuries have been reported.

Firefighters, including a battalion from Pasadena, began battling the blaze shortly after it broke out Sunday afternoon near the 134 and 2 freeways. Stranded motorists sat for hours on the freeway after it was closed down, with some taking matters into their own hands and turning around on the freeway and even driving in reverse to get to off ramps.

The fire burned perilously close to structures in Glen Oaks Canyon in Glendale, prompting the evacuation of 100 homes. The mandatory evacuation orders were lifted by 10 p.m. Sunday night.

All told, 265 firefighters were called in to combat the fire.

Local residents in nearby neighborhoods watched as helicopter tankers performed emergency water airdrops. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Coincidentally, the fire started almost 10 years to the day the Station fire started.

That blaze destroyed 62 structures and scorched 140,000 acres. The fire raged out of control in part due to laws that barred firefighters from using tankers to drop water on fires at night. Former LA County Supervisor Mike Antonovich and US Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) successfully lobbied to have that law changed. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.29.19

operating in Pasadena prior to 2018.

“Nothing will apply to them,” Gordo said. “I don’t understand why this matter has not been agendized for a legal analysis, so the City Council can take a position, then submit it for a vote of the people.”

The city spent years combatting dispensaries operating without licenses and at one point threatened to shut off utilities at the shops.

Last December, Shawn Szameit and three others at Golden State Collective, an unlicensed dispensary that operated on Mentor Avenue in Gordo’s council district, were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana for sale, cannabis sales without a permit and being a public nuisance. Szameit’s lawyer was Bradley Hertz, who later led the recall against Gordo and is now part of the latest marijuana-related initiative.

The threat posed to the established order by the initiative only makes the city’s future in the budding cannabis trade even murkier. Several dispensaries that were not selected to move forward in the city’s process have threatened lawsuits. Making matters worse, only three of the six companies that were chosen may receive conditional use permits (CUPs) due to the physical limitations placed by the city’s cannabis law.

In a memo to City Manager Steve Mermell last month, Planning Director David Reyes revealed that the city may only be able to accommodate three cannabis dispensaries due to the city’s ordinance, which imposes strict limits on where cannabis businesses can operate.

According to a draft map prepared by the city, there are not enough parcels to grant all six companies CUPs based upon the requirements of the ordinance.

“The Draft Map identified fewer than six potentially compliant locations,” wrote Reyes. “Since the use of every parcel of land in the city is not maintained in the city’s GIS (geographic information system) Database, it is possible that more compliant locations exist, but this is not probable.”

In June, city officials announced that Integral Associates Dena, Tony Fong, the Atrium Group, Harvest of Pasadena, SweetFlower Pasadena and MME Pasadena Retail scored the highest in the city’s process, which required a $14,000 fee from each applicant.

Six companies won the right to file CUP applications, but only Harvest of Pasadena, Tony Fong and Integral Associates Dena submitted applications that comply with the city’s ordinance.

Officials with Atrium Group and Sweetwater Pasadena submitted CUP applications for locations in Gordo’s District 3 on Union Street and East Colorado Boulevard, but were denied because they would violate the one dispensary per council district rule.

In August, Sweetwater lost an appeal before the Planning Commission to place a dispensary on Colorado Boulevard at Lake Avenue. Due to the limited number of locations, it is unclear if the

Golden State Collective. Raided and shuttered in 2018.

company will ever open a dispensary in Pasadena.

Owners of one company that was not chosen to advance in the selection process accused Reyes of fraud.

On June 26, Damian Martin unsuccessfully attempted to appeal the city’s decision after WOW Health and Wellness was not chosen among the top six applicants. Less than a month later, Martin accused Reyes of covertly changing the rules of the process in what he called “a secret, illegal, and total underhanded fashion.”

“There is not a single published rule on the Marijuana Regulations page (on the city’s website) that says ‘the results of the screening process were not appealable,’” Martin wrote to city officials.

A total of 122 companies applied for the right to sell cannabis in Pasadena after the city opened its process, according to a report by Reyes. Multiplied by $14,000, that comes to $1.7 million.

In the coming weeks the city plans to release information being sought under provisions of the state Public Records Act, or PRA. However, “short delays in posting correspondence and other records has created opportunity for applicants to claim fraud and undue influence when there is none,” wrote Reyes in his memo to Mermell.

The city has retained additional staffing resources to help with the massive amount of material compiled in connection with the process and the ordinance, Reyes said. However, despite the effort, there still have been short delays in getting things posted, he said.

In March, the Pasadena Weekly attempted to get the city to release the list of companies that paid the $14,000 application fee, but the paper’s PRA was denied.

“The public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public served by disclosure of the record,” wrote city Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian. n

amma’s Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta has moved from its Rosemead Boulevard address in Pasadena into a larger, more modern location in South Pasadena, one four times bigger and featuring an expanded menu and a gamified drink wall that makes choosing a beer way more fun than it should be.

The new spot features industrial decor with plenty of room at tables and benches for groups, tons of food and room to move around and refill your drinks without feeling cramped. The New York-style pizza that was the centerpiece of the old menu has not gone anywhere. Joined by some fun new appetizers and starters, the pizza is still the major feature of this fast-casual family favorite.

The self-serve beer wall is a haven for adventurous drinkers and indecisive tasters alike. Over 20 beer, wine and cocktail choices line the rear wall of Mamma’s. The beer wall is powered by keycards that can be loaded to purchase any of the available drinks for a set price per ounce.

MODERNIZED MAMMA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 on the wall (disregard at your own embarrassment when you walk back to the table with two inches of foam). Different styles of beer glasses are on the side, so you get to choose whether to fill eight ounces of a pilsner glass or grab a flight paddle and fill up as many tasters as your heart desires. There are about 20 different beers, a few wine choices and two cocktails — a mai tai and a margarita. The wall contains a good mix of popular domestics as well as more eclectic craft beers from local breweries.

Understandably, the wine and cocktails cost a little more per ounce than say Coors Light and 805. I loaded up a card with $25 which was just enough for all four adults in my party to explore their tastes at the beer wall.

Mamma’s offers the comfort of a classic, familyfriendly, after-a-game pizza joint but punched up with that quintessential flare needed to compete in the Pasadena area. All the classic pizza parlor notes are there: from the large slices of New York-style pizza, the parmesan and pepper shakers, and red sauce pastas, while at the same time boasting a much cooler space than the pizza parlors you used to beg your parents to go to after Little League.

The real kicker though is how reasonably priced the larger family combos are. I had a group of six: four adults and two little ones. The family special ($34.99) came with a large, two topping pizza, 12 garlic knots, a house salad and a choice of two pastas, including baked ziti, spaghetti, manicotti, or penne arrabiata. For less than $40 we had more than enough food for all of us to eat and head home with some leftovers. The salad was pleasantly better than an afterthought, which is sometimes the best that can be said for a side salad. Tossed spring greens, tomatoes and olives are served with your choice of dressings and enough to share.

Garlic knots by the dozen is just the way you want them. Warm, coated in buttery garlic goodness and served fresh from the oven with sauce for dipping, these knots did not disappoint. We did not save any for later. The pasta choices were served in baking 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.29.19

dishes, hot and smothered in gooey, bubbling cheese and they offered enough to eat and take some home. The pastas were perfectly cooked al dente, generously stuffed with cheese and bathed in rich, flavorful sauces.

The large pizza is worthy of the title; sometimes a large pizza seems like a joke. This is legitimately 16 inches and eight to 10 slices. New York style, with a thin, crispy crust, the pizza was fresh tasting and served hot from the namesake brick oven. There are plenty of veggie and meat choices for topping your pizza, as well as a handful of gourmet choices for another dollar and some change.

There are a variety of pasta entrees, like the popular fettuccine alfredo, and meat and eggplant options as well. The sauces are slow simmered and have a complexity of flavor not generally found at a casual pizza place.

Mamma’s plays up the traditional pizza place of yesteryear, keeping with the wide slices and familyfriendly aspect but injects some 2019 fun in there with macaroni and cheese, buffalo and barbecued chicken pizzas, and a variety of tasty starters. Signature pizzas are offered by the slice along with rice balls, subs, wings and calzone-type pizza rolls. The vibe is family-friendly or weekend hangout and the choices are fresh, casual, and fun.

I visited Mamma’s in their first week at the new location. The chaos of a soft opening and working out the kinks of a whole new floor layout and increased demand can be hard on businesses at every level. So the level of accountability and professionalism shown by the Mamma’s staff was admirable. The dining room was bustling and customers were popping in and out with orders to go. Service was friendly and fast and all requests were met with a smile and expedient accommodation. Signs on tables explain the restaurant is in its soft opening and encourage customers to email management with any feedback.

I visit a lot of restaurants in their infancy and the commitment and willingness to tackle issues head on truly puts Mamma’s in a category of its own.

TOO SHY TO TRY

AVOIDANT PERSONALITY DISORDER IS CHARACTERIZED

BY SOCIAL INHIBITION, SHYNESS AND FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY Dear Patti, When I was 6 my parents adopted my sister, Ashley, at the age of 2. I can still remember the first time I saw her adorable face — I fell in love instantly. Unfortunately, Ashley has always been painfully shy. Except for me and our two cousins, Ashley has never had close friends, even now that she’s 27.

I wish that others could see what I see when I look at Ashley. She’s intelligent, beautiful and has a huge heart. For some reason though, Ashley has been content to continue to live with our parents and spend most of her time alone. She gets nervous around people that aren’t family and repeatedly says that the reason that she avoids people is because she’s afraid that they won’t like her. She automatically assumes people will find her boring and unattractive (which couldn’t be further from the truth). I don’t know why she lacks self-confidence and has such low self-esteem. It’s been difficult for my whole family to watch her painful lifelong struggle. I’ve always hoped she’d outgrow these fears, but so far she hasn’t.

Recently, Ashley had a love affair with her ex-boss who broke up with her. She was so distraught that for the first time ever she agreed to go to therapy and was diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder. Ashley likes her therapist and has said he understands her pain and loneliness. But the therapist is concerned that after Ashley gets over the breakup she will quit therapy. He said that unlike depression or anxiety, her personality disorder is much more difficult to treat. Could you explain why?

Ashley isn’t unstable or having trouble functioning; she just has trouble liking herself and being around others. I don’t want her to give up and keep hiding away. I’ve always hoped she’d outgrow these fears, but so far she hasn’t.

— Karly Dear Karly, Anxiety and depression can be extremely difficult to treat but are often intermittent or temporary disorders in which the symptoms clearly feel uncomfortable and patients usually want help. Personality disorders in general are more difficult to treat because people with personality disorders have often experienced their symptoms since puberty or even earlier.

Therapy may move slowly since they have convinced themselves that their feelings and behaviors are normal. Ashley may avoid seeking further help because she’s unaware that her own thoughts and actions are causing the very problem that impairs her life and general happiness.

Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), sometimes referred to as anxious personality disorder, is characterized by an invasive, persistent pattern of social inhibition, shyness, distrust of others, and feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. Individuals with AvPD are extremely sensitive to being negatively evaluated by others because they’re afraid they’ll be rejected, disliked, ridiculed, or criticized. These same avoidant tendencies can make it difficult to build the necessary alliance with a therapist necessary for successful treatment.

People with AvPD tend to avoid social interaction because they consider themselves to be socially inept or personally unappealing. It’s typical, as in your sister’s case, to have low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, and an inability to relate to others unless they’re certain they’re liked. So is a habitual reluctance to engage in new activities because they may prove embarrassing. While Ashley may desire close relationships, the idea of rejection and humiliation may be so painful she might choose to be lonely rather than risk trying to connect with others.

It’s very positive that Ashley has found a therapist that she is beginning to trust. People with AvPD often start avoiding treatment sessions if they distrust the therapist or fear rejection. Once trust is established, her therapist will start challenging her negative beliefs about herself and the high price she’s been paying to maintain these destructive patterns. Ashley needs to want to change and to reject the belief that she’s helpless to alter her symptoms.

Her therapist will help her learn to identify the sources of her stress, take responsibility for her actions, and start working toward freeing herself from her self-imposed loneliness.

Ashley’s treatment may employ various techniques, such as social skills training, cognitivebehavioral therapies to restructure her thinking processes, and group therapy sessions in an empathetic environment to gradually increase social contacts and help her overcome her anxieties.

Encourage Ashley to stay in therapy. As she regains control of her life it will be beautiful for you to watch as growth occurs, her self-esteem improves, and Ashley’s true self emerges.

Healing is possible. 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.

NUMERIC CELEBRATION Glendale Arts seeking 94 donors to give $94

by September 4 to fund the preservation of downtown Glendale’s beloved Alex Theatre

The Alex Theatre has long been a shining example of the best that Glendale has to offer. Presenting a diverse array of entertainment from vaudeville shows to movie screenings, as well as concerts, comedy shows and other cultural events, the venerable showplace is celebrating its 94th birthday on Sept. 4.

Glendale Arts, the venue’s nonprofit management company, is launching an Alex94 campaign calling on at least 94 people to donate $94 by 9/4 (Sept. 4).

Donations can be made online at AlexTheatre.org/support. Contributions from the Alex94 campaign keep the Alex Theatre front and center with a year-round schedule of worldclass arts and entertainment.

Although a $94 donation is encouraged, Glendale Arts is grateful for support at all levels, including monthly recurring donations. Following the 94 theme, the first 94 donors will be entered to win tickets for two to attend diverse programming from Alex Theatre Resident Companies throughout the 2019-2020 season (tickets are valued at $750).

Alex Theatre resident companies include Los Angeles Ballet, Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Musical Theatre Guild, Alex Film Society, and Glendale Youth Orchestra. Donations can be made at Alextheatre.org. The 1,400-seat venue attracted 85,000 people to Glendale in 2018 alone.

CULTIVATING CURIOSITY The Huntington reveals its design for 2020 Rose Parade float

Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens revealed today the float design and theme for its entry in the 2020 Rose Parade. The theme “Cultivating Curiosity” captures the spirit of The Huntington’s Centennial Celebration and highlights the institution’s rare research materials, inspiring art collections, and unparalleled botanical gardens that have made it a beloved destination that welcomes 750,000 visitors each year.

Award-winning float builder Phoenix Decorating Company conceived the design and will produce the float that will mark the first time the Huntington has been represented in Pasadena’s world-famous Rose Parade in 50 years. The float depicts the following iconic elements in The Huntington’s collections: Pavilion of the Three Friends, Rose Garden Tempietto, the Japanese Moon Bridge, the paintings “Breakfast in Bed” by Mary Cassatt, “Long Leg” by Edward Hopper, a commemoration of its 1999 corpse flower and the elaborately decorated Ellesmere manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales.”

Designed by Phoenix Decorating Company, the float celebrates the Huntington’s 100th anniversary and is part of a yearlong Centennial Celebration from September 2019 through September 2020. Individuals interested in volunteering to help decorate the Huntington’s 2020 Rose Parade float can find information at huntington.org/volunteer.

SAVING STUDENTS Back to school suicide prevention effort in effect for the 2019/2020 School Year

Sen. Anthony J Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) has announced that the student suicide prevention effort created by Senate Bill 972 is in effect for the 2019/2020 school year.

Beginning this week, students and parents will find a new addition to their student identification cards as the new school year commences. SB972 requires public, charter, and private schools that serve pupils from 7th–12th grade and institutes of higher education to print the National Suicide Prevention Hotline telephone number on student identification cards.

Portantino has long been a strong advocate for suicide prevention and mental health policy. Adolescent suicide and self-inflicted injury are serious social and public health concerns. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to 24. The addition of the suicide hotline on student identification cards is widely regarded as a sensible inclusion that is expected to save lives. n

Although autumn has become well known for ArtNight, an evening of free visits to the city’s top art museums, this year set for Oct. 11, autumn for many actually kicks off Aug. 31 with the Pasadena Daydream Festival in Brookside Park, at the Rose Bowl featuring the Cure, the Pixies, Deftones, Mogwai, Throwing Muses and a host of others.

While places like the Rose Bowl, the Alex Theater, and Lodge Room Highland Park have been the sites of some memorable shows, Music Editor Bliss Bowen fi nds that other artists this fall are plying their skills at other somewhat offbeat locations, such as All Saints Church, Boston Court, Caltech, and Occidental College’s Herrick Chapel.

At The Rose nightclub, one of the region’s top live venues, guests will be treated to performances by such greats as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Martha Davis & the Motels, jazz-fusion guitarist Al Di Meola, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Judy Collins and LA’s own Ozomatli on Nov. 17.

In the world of theater, Arts Editor Carl Kozlowski learns there is something for everyone this season on stages located in Pasadena, Glendale and Sierra Madre.

The fun begins at the Pasadena Playhouse with the classic hit musical “Little Shop of Horrors” from Sept 17 through Oct. 20. Boston Court Theatre will present the world premiere of “How the Light Gets In” by E.M. Lewis, beginning Sept. 29, the Sierra Madre Playhouse offers its production of “The Joy Luck Club,” and A Noise Within will be staging works by Pulitzer Prize-winning authors August Wilson, with his “Gem of the Ocean,” and Sam Shepard and his hit “Buried Child,” the story of a man who no one recognizes when he shows up his family’s farm with a girlfriend in tow.

The Alex Theatre can always be counted on to bring a wide variety of interesting and entertaining productions to its stage, and this fall is no exception. First, the Musical Theatre Guild is presenting a staged concert version of the classic musical “Barnum” on Sept. 22, then “An Evening with Bob Iger,” part of the long-running Live Talks LA series, set for Oct. 1.

From early October to the middle of December the Anteaus Theatre Company, also in Glendale, will be staging “The Abuelas” by Stephanie Alison Walker through Nov. 25, with “Eight Nights” by Jennifer Maisel running from Oct. 31 through Dec. 16.

In the world of books and novels, Vroman’s Bookstore and the Pasadena Central Library offer readings and signings by some of the country’s top writers.

At Vroman’s on Aug. 29, Carla Sameth reads and signs her memoir in essays “One

Day on The Goldline,” On Sunday, Sept. 1, the bookstore takes over the Theatre at Ace Hotel in downtown LA for “An Afternoon with Louise Penny,” the bestselling author of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels.

On Tuesday, Sept. 3, Pasadena author Naomi Hirahara appears at Vroman’s with her latest novel, “Iced in Paradise: A Leilani Santiago Hawai’i Mystery.” And the following night at Vroman’s, delight to 10-year-old author Emerson Forester her profound book “People of Pasadena.”

Scientist and artificial intelligence expert Gary Marcus, CEO and founder of the machine learning startup Geometric Intelligence, discusses his fi ndings in the new book “Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust” in an appearance at Vroman’s on Sept. 19.

Other top Vroman’s events in October and November include former Pasadena Weekly contributor Chip Jacobs with his latest book “Arroyo,” New York Times bestselling social critic Meghan Daum will discuss and sign her latest, “The Problem with Everything: My Journey Through the New Culture Wars,” and Ann Patchett will bring her latest novel “The Dutch House” to a special Vroman’s event at all-purpose All Saints Church in November.

Carla Sameth, who was also a Pasadena Weekly contributor, returns to Vroman’s with the essay collection “One Day on the Gold Line” on Sept. 19, and novelist and former PW writer Ann Louise Bannon teaches from “How to Write a Novel” on Oct. 3.

In the world of dance, PW’s Jana J. Monji learns about swans of a different gender with the award-winning “Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake” at the Ahmanson Theatre on Dec. 3. The Russian Ballet Theatre’s more traditional version of the Tchaikovsky classic is set for Sept. 25 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale.

Cal State LA’s Luckman Fine Arts Complex hosts Ballet Hispánico for one night only (Sept. 29), when the company will be showcasing their all-Latina choreographers program, and Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre presents “Pacific Ballet Dance Goes Broadway” on Oct. 13, also at the Alex Theatre.

But the big local dance event of the year is the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when the Social Daunce Irregulars present the costumed Grand Victorian Ball at the Pasadena Masonic Hall.

And lastly, with myriad styles, methods and visions to study and admire, the Pasadena area’s many art galleries, and museums — the Norton Simon Museum, Kid Space Children’s Museum, Pasadena Museum of History, USC Pacific Asia Museum, Southern California Children’s Museum, Pasadena Heritage, The Gamble House, the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, The Bunny Museum, and the South Pasadena Historical Library —offer visitors an opportunity to step into another time and place with the price of admission. ■ 08.29.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 17

Something for Everyone SIX AREA STAGES OFFER A BOUNTY OF THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES THIS FALL

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

T

he Pasadena area is blessed with a bounty of great theaters to choose from for theatergoers seeking great live entertainment. This fall is no exception to that fact, as the six theatres in the area — Pasadena’s own Pasadena Playhouse, Boston Court, and A Noise Within; Glendale’s Alex Theatre and Antaeus Theatre Company; and the Sierra Madre Playhouse — all serve up a slate of shows that should fi nd something for fans of any genre to enjoy.

First up, Pasadena Playhouse is readying an explosive new production of the classic hit musical “Little Shop of Horrors” from Sept 17 through Oct. 20, with a truly hot cast. George Salazar of the hit Broadway musical “Be More Chill” will play Seymour, while Mj Rodriguez of the Emmy-nominated FX drama series “Pose” will play his love interest Audrey. Amber Riley of the late great Fox TV series “Glee” will play the voice of the voraciously hungry plant Audrey II. The Playhouse will also present the new drama “The Great Leap” from Nov. 6 through Dec. 1, which follows the tensions that arise between coaches and a troublesome young player when an American basketball team travels to Beijing for an exhibition game. Especially intriguing is the fact that Tony Awardwinning actor (and longtime cast member of “Law and Order: SVU”) B.D. Wong is directing the production.

Meanwhile, Boston Court Theatre will present the world premiere of “How the Light Gets In” by E.M. Lewis from Sept. 29 to Oct. 27. The play follows four lonely people — a travel writer who never travels, a Japanese architect who can’t figure out how to build a simple tea house, a gifted tattoo artist who resists the power of his talents, and a homeless girl who lives under a weeping willow in the Japanese Garden — who fi nd each other when one falls apart. Boston Court also features a 13-performance live music series from Sept. 19 through Oct. 26.

in A Noise Within, and the acclaimed, long-running powerhouse will be presenting two Pulitzer Prize-winning authors this fall. From Sept. 22 through Nov. 16, “Gem of the Ocean” by August Wilson will tell a soaring, mystical tale of a man desperate for redemption in 1904 Pittsburgh.

Following that, from writer-actor Sam Shepard’s “Buried Child” will follow the disintegration of the American Dream with shocking hilarity from Oct. 13 through Nov. 23. It follows the dark secrets that unravel when 22-year-old Vince unexpectedly shows up at his family farm with his girlfriend Shelley and no one recognizes him.

The Sierra Madre Playhouse continues its long-standing tradition of great plays in a cozy atmosphere with its current production of “The Joy Luck Club,” running through Oct. 5. The drama tells the story of four Chinese-American mothers and their four American-born daughters, and explores the complexities of family ties and history as the eight women reach across a seemingly unbridgeable divide.

Starting Oct. 17, the SMP will feature a younger generation of actresses taking the stage as it joins forces with the California School of the Arts-San Gabriel Valley for a production of “Little Women,” running through Nov. 3.

Finally, they close out the year with another in a string of inventive Christmas plays, as “Every Christmas Story Ever Told” offers an outrageous holiday romp for the whole family from Nov. 30 through Dec. 29.

Glendale’s Alex Theatre is hosting some intriguing events of their own, with the Musical Theatre Guild presenting a staged concert version of the classic musical “Barnum” on Sept. 22. Then, on a decidedly different course, it hosts “An Evening with Bob Iger” as part of the long-running Live Talks LA series on Oct. 1, with the Walt Disney Company CEO discussing his legendary career with mega-producer Brian Grazer, from his rise from the lowest rungs of ABC to become one of the most powerful executives in entertainment.

The Alex will also play host to two big but unusual concerts as well, with New Age superstar Yanni performing an “intimate evening at his piano” on Oct. 3 and children’s music legend Raffi doing an afternoon show on Oct. 27.

Also in Glendale, the Anteaus Theatre Company has two big revivals slated to hit its stage. “The Abuelas” by Stephanie Alison Walker runs from Oct. 3 through Nov. 25, while “Eight Nights” by Jennifer Maisel runs from Oct. 31 through Dec. 16. ■

VROMAN’S AND PASADENA CENTRAL LIBRARY OFFER MANY DELICIOUS LITERARY EVENTS

S

ummer is a great time for lighthearted “beach reading” of thrillers and romance novels.

But just as each fall sees a shift at the nation’s movie theaters from silly blockbusters to more intellectual fare aimed at winning Oscars, so too does autumn bring more seriously literary heft to the nation’s bookstores.

With one of the best bookstores in the country, Vroman’s, as a jewel in the Crown City, as well as one of the most beautiful libraries in the nation, Pasadena is blessed with a plethora of options for bibliophiles. Here’s a sample of some of the most intriguing events in Pasadena this fall.

The season kicks off in impressive fashion this Sunday, Sept. 1, as the bookstore takes over the 2,200-seat Theatre at Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles for “An Afternoon with Louise Penny.” The author of the Number One New York Times bestselling series off Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels is back with the series’ latest, “A Better Man,” and will kick off the giant event at 3 p.m. Sunday at the theater, located at 929 S. Broadway, Los Angeles. $45 plus taxes buys one admission and a copy of the novel, while $55 buys two of each.

Those wishing to stay in town only have to wait until Tuesday for another big event, as popular local author Naomi Hirahara bringing her latest novel, “Iced in Paradise: A Leilani Santiago Hawai’i Mystery,” to the store for a 7 p.m. discussion and signing. One of the top Japanese-American writers in existence today, Hirahara has long been a source of pride for Pasadena lit fans.

At 6 p.m. Wednesday, a young author — 10-year-old Emerson Forester — will bring her simple yet profound book, “People of Pasadena,” to Vroman’s. Through it, Forester set out to shine a light on locals who help bridge divides in a bitterly divided nation, serving up a powerful reminder that we have more similarities than differences and is a celebration of all things Pasadena.

An eclectic group including LA punk legend John Doe of the band X, filmmaker Allison Anders, Los Lobos member Louie Perez and writer Tom DeSavia will come together for a discussion moderated by LA-based writer and deejay Chris Morris at 7 p.m. next Thursday, Sept. 5. They’ll be exploring the history of LA’s punk scene through a discussion of the book “More Fun in the New World: The Unmaking and Legacy of L.A. Punk.”

On Sept. 7, world-famous activist Sister Helen Prejean will be the focus of a special offsite Vroman’s event at All Saints Church. She will discuss and sign her new memoir, “River

of Fire: My Spiritual Journey,” in conversation with the church’s rector, the Rev. Michael Kinman.

One of the most pressing questions of our age is how society should handle the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a way that helps make life easier without kicking humans out of jobs and other aspects essential to existence. Scientist Gary Marcus has been exploring these quandaries as the CEO and founder of the machine learning startup Geometric Intelligence, and he’ll be discussing his findings in the new book “Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust” in an appearance at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 at Vroman’s.

Other top Vroman’s events in October and November include former Pasadena Weekly contributor Chip Jacobs with his latest book “Arroyo” at 7 p.m. Oct. 18. New York Times best-selling social critic Meghan Daum will discuss and sign her latest, “The Problem with Everything: My Journey Through the New Culture Wars” at 7 p.m. Oct. 30. Finally, the hugely popular novelist Ann Patchett will bring her latest novel “The Dutch House” to a special Vroman’s event at All Saints Church in Pasadena at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5.

Not to be outdone, the Pasadena Central Library is bringing top crime novelist Michael Connelly to the Donald R. Wright Auditorium at 5 p.m. Oct. 25 to discuss and sign his latest novel “The Night Fire.”

Even more impressively, the library has created a series of eight author talks that will run throughout the fall, including former “Oprah’s Book Club” author Janet Fitch. Fitch will be bringing her latest, “Chimes of a Lost Cathedral,” to the auditorium at 3 p.m. Sept. 14.

Also in the series are Pasadena Weekly contributor Carla Rachel Sameth with her essay collection “One Day on the Gold Line” at 7 p.m. Sept. 19, and novelist and former PW writer Ann Louise Bannon teaching “How to Write a Novel” at 7 p.m. Oct. 3.

Readers’ spiritual sides will be nurtured by two other authors in the series, as Yolanda Nava discusses “Journey Through the Dark: How Sudden Blindness Awakened a New Spiritual Vision” at 7 p.m. Oct. 17. Mary Lea Carroll brings her memoir “Saint Everywhere: Travels in Search of the Lady Saints” at 7 p.m. Nov. 7. ■ Vroman’s Bookstore 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena.

Steppin’ Out FEET FLY THIS FALL IN AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTIONS

BY JANA J. MONJI

T

he highlight of the fall season in dance is the return of some swan swains in New Adventures’ “Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake.” If hunky modern spins are not your cup of tea, fear not. Autumn will also be filled with a heavy helping of tradition. You’ll be able to see a more familiar female-dominated version of “Swan Lake,” as well as the holiday season’s “The Nutcracker.” wAnother standby that is steeped in tradition is Pasadena’s own Victorian Dance Grand Ball in which all men in attendance are rock stars and all participants are part of the drama.

If you’re unfamiliar with Bourne, he won Tony Awards for Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography for his version of “Swan Lake.” The original London production also won an Olivier for Best New Dance Production (He has a total of eight Oliviers).

Bourne’s fabulously masculine and testosterone-pumped vision is about a Prince who desires freedom and love but duty calls and his distant mom hovers over him but can’t express her love. Love is represented by the swans that are danced by barefoot barechested men. This version of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece flies into the Ahmanson Theatre on Dec. 3 and there it will roost and arouse until Jan. 5.

If modern and masculine isn’t your cup of Tchaikovsky, don’t worry. The Russian Ballet Theatre’s “Swan Lake” flies by on Sept. 25 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. “Swan Lake” is about a princess, Odette, who with her friends has been turned into a swan by the sorcerer, Rothbart. She and her maids can only return to their human forms at night near the enchanted lake created by her mother’s tears. The only thing that can free Odette is true love, but her prince, Siegfried, will be tempted by Rothbart and his daughter, Odile, whom Rothbart has transformed to look like Odette (Odile and Odette are traditionally played by the same dancer.) Will true love triumph?

Also in September is a chance to wine and dine while supporting local talent: The Lineage 20th Anniversary Benefit for Lineage Performing Arts Center with special performances by company members (Sept. 21) at the home of hosts Wendy Kohlhase and Drake Pruitt. Reserve your tickets now.

If you like dance with a Latin flair, Cal State LA’s Luckman Fine Arts Complex hosts Ballet Hispánico for one night only (Sept. 29), when the company will be showcasing their all-Latina choreographers program: Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s “Sombrerísimo,” Michelle Manzanales’ “Con Brazos Abiertos,” and Tania Pérez-Salas’ 3. ”Catorce Dieciséis.”

If Broadway musicals are your mania, the Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre presents “Pacific Ballet Dance Goes Broadway” on Oct. 13 at the Alex Theatre. Great tunes to great movies should have you humming happy tunes for the evening.

For a production on Los Angeles’ own big stage, the Mariinsky Ballet will perform

George Balanchine’s “Jewels” with a live orchestra at the Music Center’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, October 24-27.

If you really love dance, you won’t want to just watch, you’ll want to dance like no one’s watching, and Pasadena always has plenty of opportunities for that. Of course, every Saturday night you can swing to the sound of live bands at Grace Hall with the Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association. Every Thursday (except Thanksgiving), you can dance to DJs when the Lindygroove takes over the Grand Ballroom of historic Pasadena Masonic Hall.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving is the date when the Social Daunce Irregulars present the Grand Victorian Ball at the Pasadena Masonic Hall. Live music, light refreshments and a chance to remember your manners and decide which of the Victorian fashions, from 1837 to 1901, you’ll be costumed in. Expect to see everything from Gibson Girls, to Southern belles and beaus from the lost plantation days to people with a passion for steampunk.

For holiday traditionalists, the Los Angeles Ballet presents “The Nutcracker” on Dec. 7-8 at the Alex Theatre. Closer to home is the Moscow Ballet’s “Great Russian Nutcracker” on Dec. 4 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. On Tuesday, Dec. 24 (3-6 p.m), the annual LA County Holiday Celebration brings a free live production that features instrumental music, choral music and dance performances. The show is broadcast live in Southern California on PBS SoCal (KOCE), live streamed on pbssocal.org.

It’s It’’s n It not ott jjust ust a good good d thing, thi hing, but butt a greatt thing at Pasadena-area museums this fall. Find your way back in time at the many exhibits designed to capture the feel and flavor of a bygone era. Feast your eyes on extravagant, chic or traditional fashions from a time when there were no ‘like’ buttons, viral pics or videos, and the comment section was a century or two away. What society looked like during those times bears little resemblance to its current incarnation, and when viewed through the lens of a visitor at one of the many world-class museums in the area, the effect is illuminating.

Norton Simon Museum 411 W. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena (626) 449-6840 • nortonsimon.org The prestigious Norton Simon Museum presents By Day & by Night: Paris in the Belle Époque. Come relive the magic of this historic Parisian era with the Norton Simon’s stunning collection of drawings, prints, photographs and paintings.

Belle Époque literally means ‘beautiful era’ in French, and it’s a fitting moniker.

Exhibit runs Oct. 4 - March 20 Also not to be missed at the Norton Simon is Beyond the World We Know: Abstraction in Photography. It’s an in-depth look at the role abstraction plays in photography and how we view our world, as well as how we view art.

PIXIES GUITARIST JOEY SANTIAGO PREPARES TO PERFORM THREE DECADES OF ALT-ROCK HITS SATURDAY AT PASADENA DAYDREAM FESTIVAL

GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC

ost people seem to be thrown together with their college roommates by happenstance. But for Joey Santiago, the seemingly random factors that paired him with a fellow University of Massachusetts-Amherst student named Charles Thompson not only impacted the course of both their lives, but had a profound effect on the state of alternative music over the past 30-plus years.

The two were the founding members of the Pixies, a band that combined surf rock and punk rock for a series of groundbreaking and influential albums from 1986 to 1993, when they imploded in a series of nasty arguments. But they came back stronger than ever in 2004, not only releasing a string of new albums, but touring the world constantly — including a show this Saturday at the Pasadena Daydream festival,

where they stand second only to The Cure in a powerhouse lineup of alternative music.

The daylong festival also features Deftones, Mogwai, Throwing Muses and six other alt-rock artists performing on two large stages outside the Rose Bowl starting at 2 p.m. Saturday. The fest was created

by The Cure’s lead singer Robert Smith, who has long organized an annual, daylong music event of his favorite bands in England.

“Charles wanted to start a band and that was on my list to do too,” recalls Santiago. “I found my favorite songs were very interesting. I tried to play interesting stuff on the guitar. I was still a diamond in the rough, I still am.

The Pasadena Senior Center’s free summer concert series features music of the big band era by the Great American Swing Band at 6 p.m. Monday. Call (626) 795-4331 or visit pasadenaseniorcenter.org.

“It just worked out, because he was doing bluesbased music and just to me it just wasn’t serving him,” he continues. “My guitar that I had, I just played around with it and I came up with a way of playing that I called ‘bent’ and ‘angular’ and had nothing to do with the blues.”

A native of Manila, the 54-year-old Santiago moved to the US with his family when he was 7. He first played a Hammond organ starting when he was eight, but didn’t focus on it because he had to share the instrument with his five brothers.

He found his calling at 9, when he took hold of a classical guitar hanging on his oldest brother’s wall for decoration and learned to play The Velvet Underground’s “Rock and Roll.” But Thompson changed everything, as the future frontman — adopting the moniker Black Francis for his musical career — wrote to Santiago amid six months of studying in Puerto Rico and told him they had to start a band and chase their dreams immediately.

Known for ever-surprising loud-quiet shifts and unusual song structures, the Pixies also drew attention for offbeat lyrics that included themes of extraterrestrials and biblical violence. They were highly acclaimed by critics and drew enough of a cult following to be one of the opening acts on U2’s gargantuan Zoo TV tour in 1992. But the pressures of fame and the drug use of bassist Kim Deal the following year combined to break the band up for more than a decade.

The Pixies might have remained just a legendary memory, but they noticed their fan base grow with each 32 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.29.19

passing year as superstar bands including Weezer and the Smashing Pumpkins named them as key influences.

The original foursome — including Deal and drummer David Lovering — put aside their differences and lasted nine years, until Paz Lanchantin replaced Deal in 2013. The reunion has proved fruitful, with several new albums, including the impending release “Beneath the Eyrie.”

“We don’t have a particular direction whatsoever with the music, because the songs are presented by Charles and from then on it takes a life of its own,” explains Santiago. “We don’t fight it and go along with the flow of what has to happen to that piece in bringing it into the fold. It always manages to sound like the Pixies whether it’s country, straight up pop or psychobilly, and we’re pretty confident it’s going to come out strong.

“The demand keeps happening, offers keep coming in,” he continues. “We thought it was going to dry up at some point and right now it’s not at all. To boot, it’s fun, but we will hang it up if the joy goes out of it. We’ve learned to separate our two lives, occasionally maybe one of these times it’s admirable to make a lifestyle choice. I don’t want to give it up right now, I’d rather work on both sides—the onstage and off— in a healthy way.” n The Pixies perform at 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Saturday at the Pasadena Daydream festival, which begins at 2 p.m. at Brookside Park, 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena. Tickets are $149 to $299, with prepaid parking available for $40 per vehicle. Visit pasadenadaydream.com.

JOHN DOE AND TOM DESAVIA DISCUSS THEIR NEW BOOK ‘MORE FUN IN THE REAL WORLD: THE UNMAKING AND LEGACY OF LA PUNK’ WITH FRIENDS AT VROMAN’S NEXT THURSDAY

A

s its title suggests, “More Fun in the New World: The Unmaking and Legacy of LA Punk” chronicles the messy denouement and meaning of LA’s consequential punk scene circa 1982-‘87. As they did with its precursor, 2016’s “Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk,” X frontman John Doe and Tom DeSavia wrote the book with numerous friends from that time who contribute chapters of their own. It may not be one of Studs Terkel’s oral histories, but a similarly nuanced, gritty portrait — no, make that a noir film — emerges from hearing all those personal, sometimes tragic stories side by side.

Those friends include filmmaker Allison Anders, Los Lobos guitarist/songwriter Louie Pérez, and veteran music journalist Chris Morris. They will join Doe

and DeSavia in discussing “More Fun in the New World” and the era it documents at Vroman’s Bookstore next Thursday, Sept. 5.

Doe, Dave Alvin, and Go-Go’s guitarist/songwriter Charlotte Caffey deliver some of the most soulful recollections, as they recall their musical and individual maturation while struggling to claim their integrity (and, in Caffey’s case, hard-won “deliverance” from heroin addiction into sobriety). Jack Grisham’s debauched wisdom almost reads like poetry, thanks to his Chandler-esque prose style.

Reading their evocative chapters, thoughts spring to mind like “more, please” and “What kind of novel would they write?”

Writer, dancer and Screamin’ Sirens vocalist Pleasant Gehman cheerily recalls sharing boyfriends with Belinda Carlisle,

and a “decade-long reign of pure rock ‘n’ roll insanity” living at notorious Hollywood crash pad Disgraceland. In one surreal moment after bleaching her hair “vintage starlet platinum,” she unexpectedly encounters stammering landlord and former Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay, who asks, “Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like Miss Jayne Mansfield?” (A scene Gehman resurrects with trademark aplomb: “And exactly what the fuck is the etiquette when your landlord, to whom you owe hundreds of dollars for several months of back-rent, announces that you’re his dead movie star ex-wife’s doppelganger?”)

More thoughtfully, Gehman also chronicles how and why many creative members of that punk community gradually migrated to roots music, establish–CONTINUED ON PAGE 34

ing a musical trajectory that has since distinguished LA from other punk circles. She credits women with leading the migration: “Our slice of punk heaven had been shattered by violence from the same testosteronefueled assholes who’d crash gigs for the sole purpose of starting fights.

The diaspora began with the women — we weren’t safe at shows any longer — and eventually spread to the guys, who were fed up with the relentless aggression and dumbing down of what had once been a thriving creative community.”

Peter Case, Long Ryders frontman Sid Griffin, Maria McKee, “X: The Unheard Music” documentarian W.T. Morgan, Keith Morris, Chip Kinman, Mike Ness, Henry Rollins, Jane Wiedlin and original Bangles bassist/Blood on the Saddle vocalist Annette Zilinskas all add vital viewpoints. The connections they trace between bands, events and songs reinforce the scene’s architecture and value, as does a late chapter by Doe heralding the often unacknowledged impact of bands it produced (Greed on Red, the Gun Club, Lone Justice, Rank & File) on more contemporary acts (the Avett Brothers, Neko Case, Wilco). Meanwhile, stories offered by artists from other mediums track surprising ways in which punk’s influence emanated outward into film, theatre, literature, art, fashion, social norms and even politics. The music was neither bland nor background, but a call to emancipation from artistic, social and political conformity, and other art forms responded in kind.

Anders opens her chapter, “Everything Became Possible,” with a simple declaration: “If there had never been the DIY reaction in music in the seventies known, for better or worse, as punk rock, there would never have been the American independent film movement in the eighties.” Actor/director Tim Robbins draws direct connections between the “liberation” of punk rock and the founding of his convention-defying theatrical troupe, the Actors’ Gang. Pro skateboarder Tony Hawk explains how both skating and punk enabled him to determine his own identity and find his community: “Skaters found inspiration and redemption in the ugly urban landscape just as punk musicians had. One group danced on it, the other sang about it, but both used the blight to make undying art.”\ Street artist Shepard Fairey, who later achieved international renown via his Obama “HOPE” poster, credits punk’s “democratic, unintimidating, visual language” with opening his eyes to the “do-ityourself empowerment potential of art.” The pervasive flyer culture of punk later informed Fairey’s signature style, and bands and songs like Agent Orange, Black Flag, and especially Suicidal Tendencies’ “Subliminal” (“Mind control, the easiest way/ Sponsored by the CIA/ It’s a weapon you cannot see/ It’s propaganda subliminally”) had a lasting influence on his burgeoning artistic perspective. In lauding lessons in “work ethic, fearlessness, self-promotion, media creation, scene building, graphic art, outspokenness” he absorbed from LA’s ’80s punk scene, Fairey sets forth punk’s ethos as received by a transformed fan whose own work has informed others: “True punk is the freedom to fulfill your own vision without worrying about stylistic orthodoxy or commercial appeal. LA punk looked and sounded a lot of different ways, but they were all about freedom.” n John Doe, Tom DeSavia, Allison Anders, Louie Pérez and moderator Chris Morris discuss “More Fun in the New World” at Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5; free admission, but anyone wishing to get a book signed must purchase at least one copy from the store.

LUIS J. RODRIGUEZ’S CLASSIC MEMOIR ‘ALWAYS RUNNING’ MAKES ITS THEATRICAL PREMIERE AT CASA 0101 TONIGHT

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI When Luis J. Rodriguez published “Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.” in 1993, his powerful memoir of his life as a young man in danger on the streets of Los Angeles created a worldwide sensation. It was compared to the work of internationally renowned author Louis-Ferdinand Celine, as well as George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London” for its depiction of desperate and impoverished individuals in metropolises.

Now Rodriguez has taken his tale a step further, by co-writing a stage adaptation of “Always Running” for a theatrical run at the CASA 0101 theater in Boyle Heights that debuts tonight on a six-week run that continues through Oct. 20. He co-wrote the play with Hector Rodriguez (no relation), who also serves as the play’s director, and explains the 18th-month process of bringing a classic story to the stage has been a fun challenge.

“The book covers his entire young life from the age of 5 or 6 to 20 or 21, so it took me about a year to come up with the first draft before Luis came aboard and helped with editing,” says Rodriguez.

“A mutual friend of ours had adapted two of Luis’ short stories from 36 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.29.19

his book and turned it into a screenplay called ‘Miss East LA.’ But both Casa 0101’s artistic director Josefina Lopez and Luis himself said first turn it into a play.”

Hector Rodriguez has been a frequent director and collaborator with CASA 0101, working closely with Lopez on world premieres of her plays “The Cleaning Lady,” “A Cat Named Mercy” and “Detained in the Desert.” He also directed the Los Angeles Times Critics Choice play “I Don’t Have to Show You No Stinking Badges” by Luis Valdez.

The collaboration has paid off well already, as Luis J. Rodriguez notes that he’s pleased with the way they have brought his memoir to life.

“My book was about the transformative power of the arts as well as how the Chicano Movement provided me meaning and knowledge to join with the social justice struggles of the day,” says Luis J. Rodriguez. “It dramatizes how a caring, persistent and guiding mentor eventually gave me the consciousness and tools to own my life instead of turning it over constantly to drugs, crime and violence.

When my oldest son Ramiro was born, I finally had the epiphany to

let go of the madness.”

Hector Rodriguez believes that the book, and now the play, is packed with issues that are still relevant to the Latinx community.

In particular, gang violence, gentrification and the need to heal the community of the wounds brought by those troubles make “Always Running” still a vibrant tale for our times.

“The book is about all that and the play is about how he reached out to other communities to heal, which still needs to happen today,” says Hector Rodriguez.

“There are a couple of missions with CASA 0101: to bring theater to the community, and to nurture artists,” he says. “We have some people who’ve never acted before in the play. Luis lived in Boyle Heights as a kid and he knew we could reach the community directly here.” n “Always Running” opens tonight and runs through Oct. 20 at CASA 0101 Theater, 2102 East First St., Boyle Heights. Tickets are $20 to $25 per person. Call (323) 263-7684 or visit casa0101.org.

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON

Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Dakota Johnson, Zack Gottsagen Length: 131 minutes Directed by: Tyler Nilson, Mike Schwartz Rating: PG13 One of the most charming and original films of the year, “Falcon” is a modern-day “Huck Finn” tale in which a man with Down Syndrome escapes from his assistedliving center to try and meet his boyhood pro wrestling hero. He teams up with a rogue fisherman and a woman trying to bring him back to the center for adventures and heartwarming growth as they sail a raft down a river to the wrestler. Pure magic. Grade: A

Samara Weaving in Ready or Not

Comic Carnage

THE DARKLY FUNNY HORROR THRILLER ‘READY OR NOT’ SERVES UP EXTREMELY BLOODY DARK HUMOR

he end of summer usually means studios are dumping their most boring movies of the year into a four-day weekend in hopes of squeezing a couple more millions of dollars out of unsuspecting filmgoers with an extra day off. But in the last couple of years, since the terrific surprise hit “Don’t Breathe” in 2016, they’ve also been the time to release unexpectedly strong horror comedies.

The new movie “Ready Or Not” is one of them, following a young woman named Grace (Samara Weaving), who is about to marry into the extremely wealthy Le Domas family. The clan has made a vast fortune creating an empire based on various amusements, including card and board games.

Grace is marrying Alex (Mark O’Brien), whom family members discuss elliptically as having “abandoned” them, and they thank her for bringing him back in the fold.

Yet, even as Grace is admiring the impressive trappings of their huge estate, she feels that there’s something awry in how the new in-laws are treating her before vows are exchanged. Alex even tells her she’s free to give up on him and go, as he is afraid to directly tell her she’s in danger, yet is clearly hiding something from her.

Once the ceremony has taken place, and Alex and Grace are playfully about to consummate their marriage, she comically freaks out when she sees his elderly aunt watching them from a hidden room. Alex makes things worse by revealing that the family requires her to play a game with them at midnight, a prospect she finds more annoying than sinister.

But when Grace enters a huge hidden room filled with all manner of old-fashioned weapons, including swords and giant old shotguns, she hears more about the family’s odd history and is asked to pick a card out of a box. The card indicates that the family is going to play “Ready or Not” with her — a game which they explain as a “hide and seek” with creepy overnight play times.

In reality, they have to capture Grace — or any newcomer to the family — by dawn or risk their own destruction. The goal is to maim her and then subject her to an occult ritual, but things get out of hand quickly, and soon Grace and the entire family

— plus the estate’s staff of maids and butlers — are out to kill each other.

“Ready Or Not” walks a fine line between extreme bloodshed and dark humor that few movies manage to pull off, and it succeeds most of the time on that level. But about 20 minutes before its conclusion, the movie becomes redundant, with viewers likely to wonder how many times the same person can get away from dangerous situations.

The movie has several impressive things going for it, including a terrific orchestral score by Brian Tyler, which transcends the genre until the last few minutes also seem to suck the energy and verve from it. The look of the film is stunning as well, with the home a masterpiece of set decoration and art direction that is endlessly inventive, making the house almost a character in itself, with humans weaving in and out of endless rooms and tunnels.

The fact that the cast is largely unknowns, aside from a wickedly funny turn by veteran actress Andie MacDowell, also plays to its advantage. This makes the unpredictable writing shine further, as viewers won’t have preconceptions on how each “star” will behave in the various life and death scenarios.

Samara Weaving is particularly strong in the linchpin performance of the film, with MacDowell and Adam Brody as the possibly nice guy in the family who seems like he might be willing to help save her.

Unfortunately, the movie is so graphic in its bloodiness and lets the mean-spirited wisecracks of the evil family and their casual disposal of the victims in their games take such strong precedence that “Ready or Not” ultimately has an ugly undertone that detracts from its enjoyment — especially as it plods near the end.

For horror fans and aficionados of cleverly written dark comedies, “Ready or Not” is “ready” to deliver some real charms. But for anyone else, especially the squeamish, the answer is “not,” and this movie should be avoided. n

Stars: Alex Kendrick, Shari Rigby, Aryn Wright-Thompson Length: 119 minutes Directed by: Alex Kendrick Rating: PG The latest film from Kendrick – a Georgia pastor who has built an unlikely career as the co-writer/director/star of a string of faith-based surprise hits – follows a small-town basketball coach forced to serve as cross-country coach to a girl with asthma and the improbable and inspiring friendship that follows. A bit slow and preachy in places, but most will find this uplifting in the strong third act..

Grade: B

OFFICIAL SECRETS

Stars: Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Ralph Fiennes Length: 112 minutes Directed by: Gavin Hood Rating: R The true story of a British intelligence analyst who blows the whistle on the Bush and Blair administrations’ attempt to blackmail other nations into voting for the Iraq War should have been exciting and inspiring, but instead it’s claustrophobic and deadly dull. Grade: D

GOOD BOYS

Stars: Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams, Brady Moon Length: 89 minutes Directed by: Gene Stupnitsky Rating: R Following the raunchy comic misadventures of three cluleless junior-high buddies as they have to beat the clock on replacing a broken drone, this movie has tons of energy and fresh performances from its young leads, but you might feel the need to take a shower after laughing in spite of yourself. This really pushes the envelope of kids in comedy. Grade: B

READY OR NOT

Stars: Samara Weaving, Andie McDowell, Adam Brody Length: 95 minutes Directed by: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett Rating: R This stylish horror-comedy-thriller follows a scrappy young woman marrying into an eccentric rich family that makes her endure a deadly game of hide and seek on her wedding night. Most of the film is energetic and darkly funny, but the final third grows redundant and somewhat wearying. Grade: B

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL

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

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 16-0039-11. 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.
