A GENTLE PRESENCE<br />

Like so many others, we were<br />

deeply saddened to hear of Gina<br />

Zamparelli’s untimely passing (“A<br />

Great Force,” June 14).<br />

The home we live in would be gone<br />

if not for her efforts. We will miss her<br />

gentle presence.<br />

Here is the story in her words from<br />

Oct. 31, 2005:<br />

“Dear Mr. Malouf,<br />

Just wanted to send a word of<br />

thanks for purchasing Weatherwolde Castle.I could not be<br />

more pleased to know Weatherwolde now has a wonderful<br />

new owner. Thank you!!<br />

I was the person who created the media blitz the day before<br />

the bulldozer was going to hit Weatherwolde.<br />

Thought you might like to know a bit of history behind<br />

saving Weatherwolde. I received email at midnight, the night<br />

before the bulldozer was going to hit the castle. Tujunga<br />

Historical Society contacted CV Heritage and CV Heritage<br />

contacted me. I’m the president of Friends of the Raymond<br />

Theatre, a nonprofit working to save Pasadena’s historic<br />

Raymond Theatre. I live in La Cañada.<br />

I called both CV Heritage and Tujunga Historical Society<br />

immediately and asked what was going on. Being a concert<br />

promoter by trade, I happened to have all media contacts on<br />

email and numbers to fax radio and television on hand. By 1<br />

a.m. in the morning I had a press release ready. By 3 a.m. I had<br />

emailed and faxed every media outlet possible.<br />

I also called the police and asked they send out cars and<br />

helicopters.<br />

I could not sleep the rest of the night, hoping my media blitz<br />

was enough to scare off the bulldozer. I asked CV Heritage to<br />

call and let me know the outcome.<br />

The calls started coming<br />

early, saying ‘Gina, what did<br />

you do!’ I was told the media<br />

were out in force and so were<br />

the police and I had scared<br />

off the bulldozer. Whew!<br />

CV Heritage asked me<br />

to come see what was<br />

happening, so at 6 p.m.<br />

that evening I went to<br />

the Weatherwolde to find<br />

neighbors and media still<br />

outside the castle.<br />

I have also helped CV<br />

Heritage guide this project,<br />

in case we had to take legal<br />

steps to save Weatherwolde.<br />

I’ve been working 17 years<br />

to save the Raymond<br />

Theatre, so there isn’t much<br />

I haven’t done in the way of<br />

preservation, and now try to<br />

lend a hand to other projects<br />

in need.<br />

Just wanted you to know<br />

the history. I thought it was<br />

so wonderful to see three<br />

preservation organizations,<br />

get in touch in the middle of<br />

the night, to save the castle<br />

by the morning.<br />

We are all overjoyed to<br />

know Weatherwolde now is<br />

in good hands. That was our<br />

hope.<br />

If I can send out a press<br />

release or help you get items<br />

from the castle back, let me<br />

know. I have an email list of<br />

people who were at the site<br />

the day of the rally and media<br />

contacts.<br />

May Weatherwolde bring<br />

you years of joy!<br />

Sincerely, Gina Zamparelli”<br />

IT CAN BE STOPPED<br />

Re Hutchinson Report on<br />

traffic stop reporting procedures<br />

not likely to end racial<br />

profiling<br />

Mr. Hutchinson reports<br />

the notorious NYPD racially<br />

based stops targeting African-<br />

American and Latino<br />

New Yorkers (over 600,000<br />

in 2013) were ended by a<br />

federal judge that year. The<br />

good news is that by 2015<br />

stops and frisks by NYPD had<br />

dropped to 16,000 with no<br />

increase in crime. The police<br />

did scream, but they also<br />

stopped their notorious stop<br />

and frisk racial profiling.<br />

California is starting this<br />

year to require law enforcement<br />

officers to record much<br />

more detail about any stop,<br />

pedestrian or motorist, and<br />

to turn the statistics into<br />

the state Attorney General’s<br />

Office, under the Racial<br />

and Identity Profiling Act<br />

(RIPA). LAPD started this<br />

year. Pasadena PD, due to<br />

our small size, was slated to<br />

start collecting these records<br />

in 2022 until the Coalition for<br />

Increased Civilian Oversight<br />

of Pasadena Police (CICOPP)<br />

and Pasadenans Organizing<br />

for Progress (POP), following<br />

the Chris Ballew beating,<br />

demanded that PPD start<br />

this record keeping next<br />

year.<br />

I think the evidence from<br />

NYPD shows this insidious<br />

pattern of racial profiling by<br />

police, including PPD, can be<br />

stopped. CICOPP/POP will<br />

be monitoring the results<br />

and letting the citizenry<br />

know. With people watching<br />

and the new RIPA law in<br />

California, I think we may<br />

well be seeing the demise of<br />

racial profiling in traffic and<br />

pedestrian stops.<br />

•GUEST OPINION•<br />

BY SCOTT PHELPS<br />

‘BETTER TOGETHER’<br />

PUSD SHOULD EMBRACE A DISTRICTWIDE MAGNET SCHOOL<br />

APPROACH TO HELP INCREASE SOCIOECONOMIC INTEGRATION<br />

At the same time as PUSD’s recent fiscal stabilization plan was adopted by<br />

the board and the reductions included therein were being implemented<br />

via layoffs of various staff, the school consolidation committee’s report<br />

was presented. The superintendent has expressed the desire to pause and<br />

explore ways to increase revenue and also to attract students to increase the<br />

socioeconomic integration of our schools, which the Board of Education has<br />

made a focus area of the district. Students in socioeconomically diverse schools<br />

— regardless of a student’s own economic status — have stronger academic<br />

outcomes, score higher on standardized tests, and are more likely to enroll in<br />

college.<br />

Pasadena Unified has retained a team of nationally recognized school<br />

integration experts — Richard Kahlenberg, Michael Alves and John Brittain — to<br />

help our current federal magnet grant increase the socioeconomic integration<br />

in our schools. According to the 2016 Kahlenberg report “Better Together”<br />

commissioned by the Pasadena Educational Foundation, we know it is possible<br />

for PUSD to attract more middle-class students with the right mix of vibrant<br />

programs and instruction. This expert team recommends keeping schools<br />

open to develop a combination of controlled school choice and the creation of<br />

attractive magnet schools at sites that don’t currently attract enough enrollment.<br />

Logically, to attract and diversify enrollment at any school, you need open school<br />

campuses and available seats for them. The experts recommend that PUSD fully<br />

embrace a districtwide magnet school approach to raise educational outcomes<br />

and graduation rates for the families now in PUSD, and to attract middle-class<br />

families who may be reluctant to send their students to Pasadena public schools.<br />

This is a long-term plan, not an overnight solution. It takes time to train<br />

teachers, build partnerships and create specialized curriculum and programs that<br />

parents and students desire.<br />

Schools mentioned in the committee’s report are home to vibrant academic<br />

programs that are already attracting mixed-income families. For example, Blair<br />

is a school with over 80 percent of students actively choosing it during open<br />

enrollment. The school’s International Baccalaureate program offers students<br />

a rigorous, research-based, interdisciplinary curriculum focusing on critical<br />

thinking and developing internationally and community minded individuals.<br />

While all IB students are eligible to take Advanced Placement (AP) tests (and<br />

for the last two years Blair has had the highest AP pass rate in PUSD), only IB<br />

students may take IB tests, a key college admissions discriminator. It is one of<br />

only 38 schools nationwide authorized to offer all three secondary IB programs:<br />

Middle Years Programme (Grades 6-10), Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12)<br />

and the Career Related Programme which works in conjunction with the Health<br />

Careers Academy (HCA). The school also has a PUSD middle school Spanish<br />

Dual Language Immersion Program, PUSD’s International Academy — whose<br />

team of supportive teachers help newcomer English learners grow their skill. The<br />

academy also includes PUSD’s only JROTC program, a thriving music program<br />

that has been awarded more than $85,000 in grant money over the past six years,<br />

the only Students Run LA program in the San Gabriel Valley, whose members train<br />

to complete the LA marathon, and a revitalized basketball team that has reached<br />

the CIF playoffs for the past few years. Blair’s unique programs attract dozens of<br />

our district students, and PUSD’s commitment to Blair is shown by a $24 million<br />

modernization of the main high school building that will reopen next year, and the<br />

recent installation of a new all-weather running track.<br />

Wilson Middle School has unique advanced studies, project-based learning,<br />

award-winning performing arts, and is a pathway to Pasadena High School’s<br />

App Academy. Its uniqueness has made it the second-largest 6-8 grade program<br />

in PUSD, after Marshall, and the largest traditional/stand alone middle school.<br />

Jefferson Elementary has opened a Spanish Dual Language Immersion program<br />

that has generated renewed interest and enrollment. Next year, Cleveland<br />

Elementary will share its campus with Odyssey Charter School in compliance<br />

with Proposition 39’s requirement of reasonably equivalent facilities. PUSD staff<br />

and charter staff are currently discussing ways that the charter can help provide<br />

more opportunities and services for PUSD students and increase the revenue paid<br />

to PUSD by the charter. Odyssey is committed to the principles of the Diverse<br />

by Design charter network, and this board member is hopeful that the charter<br />

parents will experience the value of the greater diversity offered by PUSD and will<br />

agree to help with the overall goal of socioeconomically integrated public schools<br />

in the PUSD area. ■<br />

WAGE WARS<br />

LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS, CITY OFFICIALS DIFFER ON IMPACTS OF MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE<br />

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN<br />

City officials and business owners remain divided on Pasadena’s<br />

minimum wage, which rose to $13.25 on July 1 for businesses<br />

with 26 or more workers. Under the city’s wage law, small businesses<br />

with 25 or less employees are now required to pay workers at<br />

least $12 an hour.<br />

Local restaurant owners say they fear that competitors in nearby<br />

cities that are on the state’s minimum wage schedule, which reached<br />

$11 at the beginning of the year, will have an unfair advantage in<br />

keeping prices low by not being forced to pay their employees more<br />

money.<br />

“Every small business in Pasadena is operating at an unfair<br />

disadvantage because the City Council voted to fast track the<br />

pathway to $15 per hour two years ahead of the timeline set by Gov.<br />

Brown and the majority of the cities in California,” said restaurateur<br />

Robin Salzer.<br />

In the year prior to passage of the Pasadena minimum wage<br />

law in February 2016, several high-profile restaurants had closed<br />

their doors, among them Dona Rosa, Villa Sorriso, Fu Shing, Jakes,<br />

Margarita Jones, La Fiesta Grande and Major Dave’s Chicken.<br />

Salzer said he wants to see the local ordinance come back to the<br />

City Council sometime this year for a review of its impacts on local<br />

employment. That meeting, which is scheduled to happen next year,<br />

could decide whether to suspend the proposed increase for 2019.<br />

The local minimum wage is due to rise to $14.25 by next year and<br />

to $15 by 2020 — three years ahead of the state and other cities and<br />

counties, including the city and county Los Angeles.<br />

On Jan. 1, the state minimum wage rose to $11 and will<br />

incrementally rise to $15 an hour in 2023.<br />

In February, the Pasadena City Council is expected to review<br />

the impacts of the minimum wage increases on reducing poverty,<br />

unemployment, job creation, and the overall business climate.<br />

At that meeting, the council is expected to decide on approving<br />

or suspending the next increase.<br />

Beginning July 1, 2022 the local hourly wage will be adjusted<br />

annually by an amount equal to the expected increase in the Los<br />

Angeles-Riverside-Orange County consumer price index for urban<br />

wage earners and clerical workers.<br />

“Uniformly, the council believes each worker in our community<br />

deserves a livable wage,” said Councilman John Kennedy. “That<br />

belief is good for building and advancing a world-class city.<br />

However, we must review the analytics to ensure that we are moving<br />

to $15 an hour in a manner that keeps our business community<br />

SILENT SUMMER?<br />

POPULAR LEVITT CONCERT<br />

SERIES HAS NO SHOWS<br />

SCHEDULED — SO FAR<br />

Organizers of a free local summer concert<br />

series are in the middle of a reorganization<br />

that has led them to all but cancel this year’s<br />

performances.<br />

So far no acts have been announced<br />

for the Pasadena Pavilion Summer Concert<br />

Series, formerly known as the Levitt Pavilion,<br />

due to issues with funding.<br />

However, according to City Manager Steve<br />

Mermell, the group hopes to put on some<br />

shows this year.<br />

“Our understanding is the group, which<br />

has reorganized as the Pasadena Pavilion for<br />

Performing Arts, is hoping to stage at least<br />

four concerts this summer,” Mermell told the<br />

Pasadena Weekly. “There was a recent parting<br />

with the LA Levitt group and the Pasadena<br />

group is working to reconstitute itself.”<br />

Will Bauer, who serves as the executive<br />

director of the Pasadena Pavilion of the<br />

Performing Arts, could not be reached for<br />

comment regarding this story.<br />

So far no shows have been listed on the<br />

group’s website. Last year’s events included<br />

Barbara Morrison, Billy Mitchell and Dean<br />

Torrence of the 1960s surf group Jan and<br />

Dean.<br />

“The music series is a beautiful yearly<br />

event for the city of Pasadena, and contributes<br />

much to the quality of life for the<br />

community,” said former Executive Director<br />

Renee Bodie by email. “It is a true neighborhood<br />

event and needs to continue. During<br />

my tenure, we worked hard to attain funding<br />

for the series, and much of that support has<br />

dwindled for various reasons. The current<br />

board and interim [executive director] are<br />

doing all they can to find a way to continue. It<br />

comes down to a matter of support.”<br />

In 2005, the Levitt Foundation — founded<br />

in 1963 by Mortimer and Mimi Levitt to support<br />

the arts, culture and education — donated<br />

$250,000 to the city to restore the band<br />

shell in Memorial Park on Walnut Street and<br />

Raymond Avenue. The group also committed<br />

to a half-million dollars over five years in<br />

matching funds for a free concert series at<br />

the refurbished band shell, renamed Levitt<br />

Pavilion.<br />

The series was so successful that the<br />

formula was used in several other areas,<br />

including MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.<br />

Shows there are scheduled to continue this<br />

summer.<br />

Locally, the organization continued to<br />

struggle with funding, said Bodie, adding it<br />

costs about $650,000 to put on 50 shows<br />

every summer.<br />

BRIEFS<br />

‘FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER’<br />

THOUSANDS MARCH AGAINST TRUMP’S<br />

ZERO-TOLERANCE IMMIGRATION POLICY<br />

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN<br />

Republicans successfully blocked an amendment by Rep.<br />

Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) that would have prevented the<br />

installation of tent cities to house migrant children on<br />

military bases.<br />

The plan to detain the children is part of President<br />

Donald Trump’s zero-immigration policy which, according<br />

to Schiff, led to thousands of children being separated from Adam Schiff<br />

their parents who were seeking asylum in the US.<br />

Thousands of people took to the streets Saturday, June 30, to oppose Trump’s<br />

policy in what were called “Families Belong Together” marches.<br />

Locally, about 1,500 people marched 2.5 miles from Pasadena City College to<br />

the Pasadena Public Library, according to local reports.<br />

“None of the funds made available by this act may be used to assist with,<br />

coordinate, or approve the construction of facilities for the purpose of detaining an<br />

unaccompanied alien child on lands owned by the Department of Defense,” Schiff<br />

wrote in his amendment.<br />

Trump took to Twitter to reiterate what he views as his strengths on immigration.<br />

“When people come into our Country illegally, we must IMMEDIATELY escort<br />

them back out without going through years of legal maneuvering,” Trump said.<br />

“Our laws are the dumbest anywhere in the world. Republicans want Strong Borders<br />

and no Crime. Dems want Open Borders and are weak on Crime!”<br />

In his executive order, the president pledged to keep families together, but so<br />

far no information has been released revealing how parents would be reunited with<br />

their detained children.<br />

“The border is just as tough. But we do want to keep families together,” Trump<br />

said. “We are keeping the family together.”<br />

“Thousands of children are still being detained in facilities far away from their<br />

parents. Despite statements to the contrary by the president, it is unclear when they<br />

will be reunited and if the administration has truly ended its cruel policy of family<br />

separation,” said Schiff. “Congress should prohibit the use of funds to hold more<br />

children in detention camps, and I am deeply disappointed that the House Majority<br />

has prevented a vote on a more humane policy towards children and families.”<br />

Immigration has been a hot button topic since the last election when Trump was<br />

widely criticized for promising to deport millions of illegal immigrants.<br />

Despite that criticism, more people were deported during Barack Obama’s<br />

presidency. During Obama’s two terms in office, more than 3 million people were<br />

deported.<br />

But immigration experts say that’s only because of changes made to immigration<br />

laws under President George W. Bush.<br />

Prior to the change, most people caught illegally crossing the southern border<br />

were taken back to Mexico and called a “voluntary return.” Critics also deemed the<br />

term “catch and release.”<br />

Voluntary releases were not counted in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s<br />

deportation statistics until Bush’s presidency, according to the Los<br />

Angeles Times, which led to a rise in recorded deportations under the previous<br />

two presidents. n<br />

‘GRAND ENTERPRISE’<br />

CALTECH AWARDED CONTRACT<br />

EXTENSION TO CONTINUE MANAGING JPL<br />

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN<br />

Caltech has been awarded a $15 billion contract extension<br />

to continue operating Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).<br />

The contract, which begins on Oct. 1, now extends for<br />

up to five years based on performance metrics. Caltech<br />

manages JPL on behalf of NASA.<br />

“What we accomplish over the next decade, people<br />

will remember for centuries,” said Caltech President Thomas F. Rosenbaum in<br />

a prepared statement. “It is a great honor to partner with NASA on this grand<br />

enterprise.”<br />

Thomas F. Rosenbaum<br />

The laboratory’s primary function is the construction and operation of planetary<br />

robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is<br />

also responsible for operating NASA’s Deep Space Network.<br />

Among JPL’s major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission<br />

(which includes the Curiosity rover), the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, the<br />

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and<br />

asteroid Vesta, and the Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter. JPL also monitors meteors<br />

that could collide with Earth.<br />

JPL’s Space Flight Operations Facility and Twenty-Five-Foot Space Simulator are<br />

designated National Historic Landmarks.<br />

Caltech has been a committed partner of NASA in the management of the lab<br />

since it was founded in 1936. Researchers, engineers and technicians at Caltech and<br />

JPL, both located in Pasadena, have helped to keep the US at the forefront of space<br />

exploration and planetary science. JPL and Caltech have collaborated on a variety of<br />

missions and disciplines to advance understanding of Earth and the universe. n<br />

growing and healthy to make job growth possible.”<br />

During his election campaign in 2015, Mayor<br />

Terry Tornek said he supported the idea of increasing<br />

the minimum wage but wanted to wait to examine<br />

ordinances passed by the Los Angeles City Council<br />

and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The<br />

Pasadena council unanimously approved the citywide<br />

minimum wage in 2016.<br />

Increasing the minimum wage was opposed by<br />

members of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce,<br />

who favored smaller pay hikes. Under that proposal,<br />

minimum wage would have increased to $12.50 by<br />

2020, and then stop there.<br />

“We have seen some impacts around the edges,”<br />

said Chamber of Commerce President Paul Little.<br />

“There are fewer employees in businesses that hire<br />

minimum-wage employees. We have seen restaurants<br />

close, but it’s hard to say if it’s just because of the<br />

ordinance. Several factors could play a part in it —<br />

rent increases, cost of materials and labor costs are<br />

all factors.<br />

“Restaurants are being replaced by chains. At the<br />

same time, we are seeing places cope. Some places<br />

are opening later and closing earlier. You’re going to<br />

see more of that, I would expect,” Little said.<br />

The council received about a dozen letters from<br />

restaurant owners and officials at local nonprofits<br />

opposing the increase.<br />

Several public hearings were held to give all sides a<br />

chance to comment on the issue. However, restaurant<br />

owners still claim they were not allowed a chance to<br />

express their views.<br />

During a tense meeting in 2016, several local<br />

restaurant owners took their complaints directly<br />

to Tornek. During the sometimes tense gathering,<br />

restaurant owners attempted to call Tornek on<br />

the carpet for an alleged promise he made after<br />

the council began discussing raising the minimum<br />

wage.<br />

“We were promised our voices would be heard,”<br />

said Michael Hawkins, a partner at Green Street<br />

Restaurant. “But it went straight to Ed Tech,” he<br />

said of the council’s Economics, Development and<br />

Technology Committee.<br />

Tornek responded that the owners were heard,<br />

but they didn’t get the result they wanted. Business<br />

leaders left the meeting even more disgruntled.<br />

In April 2015, Seattle became the first city to<br />

establish a path to a $15 minimum wage after nearly<br />

ordinance was passed, some restaurants increased<br />

prices and instituted no-tip policies. Unemployment<br />

decreased from 6.3 percent to 5.2 percent.<br />

Several restaurants shut down, but those<br />

business owners said that the ordinance did not play<br />

a part in their considerations, instead associating<br />

location with their decisions. As of September,<br />

the city of Seattle was issuing about 25 restaurant<br />

permits a month.<br />

Shortly after that, other cities throughout the<br />

country began raising the minimum wage.<br />

Jon Pollard, Pasadena’s code compliance manager<br />

who has visited hundreds of local businesses<br />

since the council voted to increase wages, said very<br />

few business owners have complained to him about<br />

paying more.<br />

“A few people said it would cause difficulties, but<br />

by and large there have been few complaints,” Pollard<br />

told the Pasadena Weekly.<br />

City Councilman Tyron Hampton said he has<br />

become concerned about the negative impact higher<br />

wages might have on local businesses.<br />

“I have seen places with higher prices and some<br />

businesses that are open fewer hours,” Hampton said.<br />

“The business owners are trying to figure out how<br />

to pay higher salaries without laying people off. We<br />

definitely needed the wage increase, but since we<br />

passed it, I think we need to assess it. It’s smart to do<br />

that.”<br />

Hampton said he has seen more self-service<br />

kiosks in local businesses and admits he was<br />

surprised by a visit to a McDonald’s in Riverside<br />

that had no cashier.<br />

“There was no one at the cash register,” Hampton<br />

said. “You insert cash or card in a machine and you<br />

order on a screen.”<br />

Despite the increase in the wage, it could still be<br />

almost impossible for single minimum wage earners<br />

to live in Pasadena.<br />

The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment<br />

in Pasadena has risen more than 51.7 percent in the<br />

past six years, with rents on some one-bedroom<br />

apartments totaling as much as $2,200 a month.<br />

“I personally support an increase in the<br />

minimum wage, but I do have a strong disagreement<br />

in what I consider a flawed process and<br />

implementation of the Pasadena Minimum Wage<br />

Ordinance,” Salzer said. n<br />

HIGH ALERT<br />

PASADENA’S BRUCE RIGNEY RECOUNTS WORKING IN A NUCLEAR MISSILE BUNKER IN ‘TWO YEARS ON THE WATCH’<br />

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI<br />

Two days after graduating from college in 1966, Rhode Island native Bruce<br />

Rigney received his military draft notice and faced a dilemma confronted by<br />

millions of other young American men at the time. He could either accept his<br />

fate and ship off to the battle zone of a war he didn’t support in Vietnam, or find an<br />

alternative way to honor the law without getting into a life-and-death situation.<br />

He called a friend whose father was a retired four-star Air Force general to see<br />

if he could get help being assigned to a safe position. Rigney wound up accepting an<br />

Air Force intelligence assignment to the NATO Sector Operations Center for nuclear<br />

missiles in Germany, where he spent two years on a team that was perpetually waiting<br />

for the unfathomable moment when the call would come to launch them at the<br />

Soviet Union.<br />

Fifty years later, the longtime Pasadena resident has blended his memories of<br />

that experience with newly declassified documents about his time in the bunker to<br />

create the book “Two Years on the Watch: What I Learned in the Secret Cold War<br />

Bunker.” Filled with fascinating stories and facts that were unknown for decades to<br />

anyone without a top-secret clearance, he shares his experiences in averting hostilities<br />

between Soviet and American forces that had stood on the precipice of global<br />

warfare.<br />

The book also explores his troubled thoughts and feelings as part of a two-man<br />

team that could have started World War III. Rigney shared the stories behind the<br />

stories in an email interview with the Pasadena Weekly.<br />

PASADENA WEEKLY: What were some of the best parts of living overseas for a<br />

couple of years?<br />

BRUCE RIGNEY: When I was on the Intelligence Watch Officer post, the four Watch<br />

Officers worked on a shared 24/7 per week schedule, but we were in the mountains<br />

far away from any cities and points of interest in Germany or the rest of Europe.<br />

When I had connected up with Chris, a US Army Nurse who would become my wife<br />

after a year together, we devised a system of working double shifts, working 16 hours<br />

a day for two days or more, and accumulating periods of four days off.<br />

We were able to travel to Amsterdam, Munich, Frankfurt, London, went camping<br />

in Luxembourg, and took our honeymoon in Florence, all with four-day trips using<br />

the remarkably cost-saving “Europe on Five Dollars a Day” as our guide. That’s right:<br />

Five dollars for a clean, comfortable room and three meals.<br />

Were there some tense moments while you were on watch?<br />

Yes, the tensions of the Cold War were being very clearly acted out on a daily<br />

basis in the military face-off between the US and the Soviets in the Air Defense Zone<br />

between West and East Germany.<br />

The Watch Officer post demanded continuous attention to any deviations from<br />

normal activity in the air traffic being monitored by the US radar systems. The<br />

continuous display of air traffic on the 40-foot high screen in the bunker, along with<br />

constant updates from military communications intercepts, kept us in a high state of<br />

alert on a daily basis and we had many alarming incidents that required immediate<br />

response. This was not a laid-back activity. It would have been a serious mistake to<br />

assume that all was well on any given watch shift.<br />

During my two years on the watch, I encountered numerous apparent incidents<br />

<strong>07.05.18</strong> | PASADENA WEEKLY 9


Bruce Rigney<br />

HIGH ALERT<br />

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9<br />

or close calls in our zone of responsibility.<br />

These were usually threats to civilian<br />

aircraft travelling in the restricted air<br />

corridors to Berlin, Soviet aircraft crossing<br />

the border into West Germany and Soviet<br />

aircraft tracking US reconnaissance flights<br />

along the border.<br />

The most stunning and intense event in<br />

my two years on the watch occurred in the<br />

Spring of 1968 when I began to receive data<br />

from sources beyond our radar range that<br />

indicated that about 40 aircraft from Russia<br />

and Poland were heading toward us at<br />

a steady speed of about four hundred miles<br />

per hour, most likely strategic bombers that<br />

could be carrying nuclear weapons. The<br />

bombers were soon joined by supersonic<br />

fighter aircraft that would provide escort<br />

for them.<br />

This was either the first wave of an<br />

actual attack against the NATO forces in<br />

Western Europe or a massive training exercise<br />

to test our resources. It certainly exceeded<br />

anything described in my training. I<br />

determined from all the data available that<br />

it was just an attempt to gather response<br />

data, and assured the Operations Center<br />

Controller that we should avoid engaging<br />

the Soviet fleet with our fighter jets and<br />

surface to air missiles. Many of the Soviet aircraft crossed into West German territory,<br />

but they all made U-turns back to the east.<br />

What are some of the biggest changes in geopolitics since your days in the service?<br />

The biggest change has been that the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in a renaming<br />

of one of the opponents in the conflict. It always was the US versus Russia. We knew<br />

that at that time and we should not be deceived by a name change. After all, the President<br />

Putin of Russia had been a KGB agent for the Soviet Union for nearly two decades! The<br />

satellite countries of the former Soviet Union did serve to bring the Russian forces in<br />

closer proximity to the US forces in Europe, but they were never a factor in strengthening<br />

the Soviet’s military forces in the European theater.<br />

What are some of the largest nuclear threats facing our world today?<br />

Today, there are nine countries that possess a total of 15,000 nuclear weapons. The<br />

US and Russia, while each have proclaimed they are no longer engaged in a Cold War,<br />

maintain a combined total of about 1,800 nuclear weapons on high-alert status, ready to<br />

be launched within minutes of warning — primarily aimed at each other.<br />

Their combined stockpiles of nuclear weapons comprise more than 90 percent of the<br />

total of such weapons on Earth. With 1,800 nuclear weapons on high alert, we have not<br />

actually seen the end of the Cold War.<br />

There are still 180 B61 nuclear weapons poised to be launched in Europe under the<br />

US Life Extension Program of 2012 that provides a total destructive force nearly 4,000<br />

times greater than the Hiroshima blast of<br />

1945, a far greater force than all the nuclear<br />

weapons deployed in West Germany during<br />

my period of service. The explanation<br />

for continuing to maintain the US nuclear<br />

presence in Europe was that these weapons<br />

are ‘critical for transatlantic security,’ a<br />

euphemism for the continuation of the Cold<br />

War that supposedly ‘ended’ in 1991.<br />

We’re still fighting proxy wars in the<br />

Middle East and we’re still in an arms race,<br />

with the US and Russia racing to modernize<br />

their nuclear weapons arsenals. And the<br />

beat goes on, with Russian incursions into<br />

the Crimea and the Ukraine and the US crying<br />

“foul” and submitting formal protests.<br />

How do you feel about President Trump’s<br />

somewhat cavalier attitude toward our<br />

nuclear arsenal (letting someone at Mara-Lago<br />

hold the “football,” tweets toward<br />

North Korea, etc.)?<br />

Where the football is kept is of no importance.<br />

I would be surprised if they still use<br />

that same system, since there are so many<br />

more effective security technologies available.<br />

And there should be a very tight lock<br />

on the release system for those weapons.<br />

Trump’s tweets have had the effect of<br />

opening a communication line with a hostile would-be adversary. This will probably result<br />

in better relations with North Korea. If it also results in the complete termination of<br />

North Korea’s nuclear program, Trump might be in line for the Nobel Peace Prize!<br />

Is there a feasible path to nuclear deproliferation in our time?<br />

Efforts on behalf of a nuclear weapons ban treaty by all the countries of Earth are<br />

finally starting to make some headway. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear<br />

Weapons (ICAN) has been successfully promoting implementation of the United Nations<br />

nuclear weapon ban treaty adopted in 2017. Last year, in recognition of these efforts,<br />

ICAN was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Further support of ICAN will enable them to<br />

bring pressure on the major powers to recognize their responsibility toward safeguarding<br />

the populations of Earth.<br />

The US has long provided a strong message to the world that all people are created<br />

equal and that they are entitled to the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit<br />

of happiness. The US now needs to step forward and take full responsibility for having<br />

developed nuclear weapons and assume a leadership position in the removal and<br />

elimination of the most powerful weapons ever developed. That will require a strong and<br />

compassionate American leadership that is dedicated to the concept of safeguarding life<br />

on Earth and ensuring life, liberty and happiness for all mankind. ■<br />

THE PIZZA PLANT PUTS DOWN ROOTS IN PASADENA<br />

BY SIMONE DUPUY | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO<br />

The Pizza Plant may be the one pizza joint in which not a single<br />

patron will be found dabbing at the surface of their slice with<br />

a napkin. Completely vegan and organic, this brainchild of cofounders<br />

Marvin Acuna and Ravi Choudhry was born of the idea of<br />

clean and healthy living just last December, coming to fruition mere<br />

weeks ago as part of The Commissary in Pasadena. I am sure many<br />

of you share my concerns at the haphazard tossing around of the<br />

term “pizza” with all this gluten-free, plant-based mumbo jumbo.<br />

I mean, pizza is pretty perfect as is. Crust, sauce, cheese. It’s a science<br />

with a proven formula. Admittedly, the grub served up at The<br />

Pizza Plant might make a Sicilian grandpa faint, but just because<br />

this “pizza” breaks the mold a bit doesn’t mean it isn’t worth eating.<br />

In fact, it very much is.<br />

Once I redefined The Pizza Plant’s pies in my mind as “openfaced<br />

focaccia sandwiches,” I enjoyed myself a great deal more.<br />

Gone were my expectations of greasy triangles with foot-long<br />

cheese pulls, and full was I of mouthful after mouthful of guiltfree,<br />

vaguely pizza-like indulgence. With this mindset, vegans and<br />

carnivores alike can appreciate the flavorful fare. Creamy pesto,<br />

unique vegan cheeses and well-prepared, high-quality ingredients<br />

constituted some highlights across our three pizza selections.<br />

First up, a classic: Not Your Grandma’s, essentially a margherita<br />

pizza with a sweet balsamic drizzle. Refreshingly, Chef Rachel<br />

Carr at The Pizza Plant is not lazily vegan. By this, I mean that<br />

components of a dish that are already traditionally vegan still get<br />

the attention they deserve. The San Marzano Marinara blanketing<br />

the crust was expertly balanced and fragrant with oregano. As for<br />

the cashew mozzarella, the house recipe including nutritional yeast<br />

offered a welcome savory punch. Unfortunately, we decided to try<br />

out the gluten-free crust (an added $2.50 charge for our personal<br />

pie) on this pizza. Like so many of its gluten free brethren, the rice/<br />

tapioca/quinoa-constituted base fell victim to goopiness. Perhaps<br />

the crust was undercooked or perhaps it was just too dense, as<br />

many GF items are, but it formed paste in every available mouth<br />

crevice, ruining what could have been a respectable plant-based<br />

pizza. The dough’s flavor was good, but not worth the regrettable<br />

texture. With luck, the young business will work out this kink to<br />

serve the celiac-afflicted community with pride.<br />

Still, crust in general does seem a hurdle left for Pizza Planters<br />

to clear. Our other two pizzas came on a moderately tasty but<br />

overly doughy rye. I’m open to thick, chewy crust, but this focaccia<br />

facsimile lacked any textural intrigue or particular airiness.<br />

Luckily, the toppings saved the day. Well distributed<br />

veggies seasoned with accomplished nuance give the<br />

Green Goddess her grace. Where the crust lacked in<br />

crispness, asparagus came to the rescue. Herbaceous<br />

pumpkin seed pesto and perfectly ripe avocado<br />

filled the mouth with luxurious creaminess and<br />

depth, a rarely perfected evocation in vegan dining.<br />

Generous touches of roasted broccoli, lemony cashew<br />

mozzarella and sprouts made for a balanced and<br />

filling dish. However, the crowning glory of this pizza<br />

was the plant-based ricotta. The vegan cheese was,<br />

indeed, ricotta-like in texture, but beyond that it was<br />

superior in its cheesy endeavors. There was a salty,<br />

creamy funkiness that all humans deserve in fine,<br />

complex cheeses, vegan or otherwise. I was excited to<br />

know that Choudhry and Acuna’s plans for the future<br />

include marketing some of these original recipes<br />

commercially as Plant Craft Foods, LLC. I’ll have<br />

that cashew ricotta in my fridge as soon as it hits the<br />

shelves, please and thank you.<br />

Our final pizza, christened Yes, We Will Take You<br />

To Funghi Town, was similarly delicious with its<br />

plentiful pesto and mozzarella, the main gamechanger<br />

being a medley of roasted mushrooms. Perhaps<br />

even more so than imitation meats, mushrooms are<br />

a great way to allude to savory, umami meatiness,<br />

and the toppings on this mouthful of a pizza were no<br />

exception. Speaking of, it’s a good thing orders at The<br />

Commissary are kiosk-operated so there’s no need to<br />

say “Yes, We Will Take You To Funghi Town” aloud to<br />

a live human cashier. It does make the space a little<br />

lonely, but that’s all right. The Pizza Plant storefronts<br />

plan on being exclusively carry-out and delivery,<br />

a business style that obviously lends itself well to<br />

pizza. Fortunately, the pies at Pizza Plant travel fairly<br />

well and do stand the test of overnight refrigeration.<br />

Let that be known to all my fellow cold-pizza-in-themorning<br />

advocates.<br />

As if three pizzas weren’t enough to satiate the<br />

few of us, we also ordered some Buffalo Cauliflower<br />

Wings (gluten free here). Normally, I’d pick this vegan<br />

alternative over wings any day: lots of vitamins, less<br />

fat, no bones to pick around, no weird sinewy bits.<br />

Just a reason to douse your vegetables in vinegar and<br />

chili and call it healthy. Buffalo-style cauliflower is,<br />

in my experience, a crowd-pleaser and a personal<br />

indulgence. However, I have always made them coated<br />

in flour-based batter and baked to crispy brownness,<br />

which is no bueno for someone gluten free. While<br />

the “wings” at The Pizza Plant are safe for those<br />

with dietary restrictions, they were also just … fine.<br />

There was a yummy and unexpected pickle-y aspect<br />

to the morsels, perhaps from the apple cider vinegar<br />

in the sauce, that made them unique, though not<br />

altogether mouthwatering. The real letdown, though,<br />

was the side of house-made ranch. It is possible the<br />

salt and sugar in the kitchen were switched or maybe<br />

someone bought sweetened almond milk on accident,<br />

but the flavor was akin to spoiled tzatziki or dillflavored<br />

whipped cream. We happily munched on the<br />

cauliflower without it and returned to our superior<br />

pizzas.<br />

Along with serving consciously sourced and<br />

nutritious food, The Pizza Plant plans on serving<br />

the community. For each pizza sold, another is given<br />

to the Union Station Homeless Services. The large<br />

carryout boxes are designed by a local street artist.<br />

There’s even a rewards program for patrons: every<br />

twelfth pizza is free with your stamp card. A venture<br />

that stemmed from the pursuit of good health has<br />

evolved into a great community support system.<br />

Choudhry says there are big plans to expand to 1,000<br />

locations in the next three years, to be the Domino’s<br />

of plant-based pizza. Personally, I don’t think that’s<br />

giving The Pizza Plant enough credit. Domino’s is<br />

food for very sad and/or very drunk college students.<br />

While a sad and drunk college student would no doubt<br />

enjoy a slice of The Half Baked (boasting just about<br />

every topping plus CBD oil), my physique and my<br />

friends would thank me much more if I showed up<br />

to the function with a stack of Pizza Plant pies over<br />

Domino’s. With a little time and attention, The Pizza<br />

Plant will surely iron out their few and forgivable<br />

imperfections and do great things. Maybe they should<br />

aspire to be the Amazon of vegan pizza: be kings of<br />

delivery and bring Whole Foods to mind.<br />

POWER BREAKFAST<br />

Navy League and USS Pasadena Foundation feed America’s finest<br />

On June 21, the Pasadena Chapter of the Navy League<br />

of the United States and the USS Pasadena Foundation<br />

arranged for a catered send-off breakfast for the<br />

Headquarters Company of the 2nd Battalion, 23rd Regiment<br />

of the 4th Marine Division (“Pasadena’s Own”) at the<br />

Blecksmith US Marine Corps Reserve Center located in east<br />

Pasadena.<br />

The Battalion is a Marine Corps reserve unit with<br />

approximately 1,000 reservists and active-duty members<br />

training at six different reserve centers in California,<br />

Nevada and Utah. In late June the battalion was called up<br />

to active duty for a nine-month deployment. The battalion is currently engaged in a month<br />

and a half of integrated training with other Marine Corps air and ground units at the Marine<br />

Corps Air Ground Combat Center near Twenty Nine Palms. Following that training, most<br />

of the battalion will then deploy further and join other Marine units in Okinawa, Japan for<br />

the remainder of its active duty. The battalion has a very distinguished history of service in<br />

combat in the Pacific during World War II for which it received the Presidential Unit Citation.<br />

It was also previously deployed to Iraq.<br />

Over 120 Marines began the first day of their recall at the reserve center, with a breakfast<br />

of choice consisting of chicken, bacon or vegetarian burritos along with salsa, fruit, pastries,<br />

coffee and orange juice.<br />

Capt. Bill Creedon, USN (Ret.) of La Cañada Flintridge,<br />

president of the USS Pasadena Foundation, thanked them<br />

for the dedication and considerable sacrifices that they<br />

and their families from all around the greater Pasadena<br />

area make in order for the rest of us to enjoy the freedoms<br />

that many often take for granted. Creedon and the other<br />

members of the Navy League and the foundation assisting<br />

with the breakfast wished the Marines a productive<br />

deployment and a safe return home to their family and<br />

friends in nine months.<br />

The Pasadena Chapter of the Navy League and the USS<br />

Pasadena Foundation are organizations with members from<br />

throughout the greater Pasadena area. Their mission is to<br />

provide support to both active and reserve members of the<br />

naval services (Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard) and to educate the public regarding<br />

the role that sea power plays in maintaining America’s national security.<br />

•ADVICE•<br />

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER<br />

FRESH STARTS<br />

DON’T LET PAST TRAUMAS INTERFERE WITH YOUR LIFE TODAY<br />

Dear Patti,<br />

My father went to prison when I was 7 (I’m now 15) and I’ve been in group homes<br />

ever since. My mother died when I was 2. My fourth and latest foster mother is<br />

named Sheri. I’ve been with her for only two months and can already tell she’s the<br />

best foster mother I’ve had. She’s nice and friendly and tells me I’m really smart<br />

and can grow up to be whatever I want. I know I’m bright, but she’s the first foster<br />

mom to acknowledge it.<br />

In spite of her kindness, I feel uncomfortable when I’m around her. I go back and<br />

forth between feeling intimidated, shy, withdrawn and resentful/argumentative.<br />

Sometimes I purposely disagree with her for no reason or refuse to be helpful. Other<br />

kids will make fun of her and I’ll laugh out loud on purpose to put her down. I keep<br />

thinking thoughts about how she’s a know-it-all, a bitch and too bossy and controlling,<br />

but I know she’s done nothing wrong and hasn’t been domineering or interfering<br />

at all. In fact, she’s been supportive and interested in my ideas and who I am.<br />

In one of the previous homes where I lived, my foster mom was very controlling<br />

and mean. I felt like a second-class person around her and had to fight for any<br />

rights at all. I’m pretty sure I’m reacting to Sheri as if she’s the old one. I don’t want<br />

to but I can’t seem to help it. Sometimes Sheri even looks and smells like the other<br />

one. I don’t think it’s really true. I want to move on from old history and drama. I<br />

want the ability to have new relationships. I’ve been in counseling twice before and<br />

can go when I want. One time it was pretty good and the other time it sucked but<br />

I’m willing to try again.<br />

— Parisella<br />

Dear Parisella,<br />

I agree with both you and your foster mom; you are intelligent. You’re also self-reflective<br />

and it’s clear you want to mature and grow. I understand. You want to heal from the<br />

pain and insecurity of past traumas so they won’t interfere with your life today. That’s<br />

wonderful and an excellent choice, but oftentimes when people move forward it’s not<br />

without the awkward weight of emotional baggage.<br />

You’ve already taken the critical step of realizing Sheri is treating you just fine, but<br />

you’re emotionally reacting as if she were a cruel carbon copy of her predecessor. This<br />

is called transference. The more you acknowledge and experience your repressed feelings<br />

toward your foster mom, the less power those historic feelings will exert on your<br />

present feelings toward Sheri.<br />

In order to reduce the tendency to transfer your feelings onto others, I recommend<br />

you attend professional counseling. Find a therapist you trust and feel connected to.<br />

Keep in mind, however, there’s a good possibility you’ll eventually transfer feelings onto<br />

your therapist as well. That’s often part of the therapeutic process which your therapist<br />

will guide you through. The goal is for the two of you to create a safe, private space in<br />

which you carefully examine old memories and feel painful and negative emotions. In<br />

counseling, you’ll undoubtedly explore your fear of becoming close and intimate with<br />

Sheri, leaving you vulnerable to being hurt and abandoned.<br />

While you’re waiting to get into counseling, try this exercise. Write down all of the<br />

traits— both good and bad—that characterize your previous foster mother. On a separate<br />

piece of paper, write down all of the good and bad traits which Sheri exhibits. After<br />

reviewing both lists, write down the behaviors from your prior foster’s mom’s list that<br />

you’re currently transferring onto Sheri. Look clearly at the difference.<br />

Next, choose a negative trait from your prior foster mom’s list and remember a<br />

specific time when she exhibited that trait and caused you to feel mistreated. See the<br />

experience in your mind’s eye and journal it. Feel your anger and hurt. At your own<br />

pace, do this exercise with each negative trait and you’ll begin to understand where all<br />

of this is rooted. Share this experience with your new therapist.<br />

Don’t let the past interfere with your new relationships and others to come. ■<br />

The Flint water crisis remains one of the worst blights on the<br />

nation’s environmental record; residents of the depressed<br />

Michigan city are still being advised to use bottled or filtered<br />

water, despite the state’s declaration in April that Flint’s<br />

TOXIC TRAGEDY<br />

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19<br />

weak-spined mayor and raises a baby bottle at her first<br />

press conference, you can feel the explosive impact<br />

when she warns a throng of reporters and politicians<br />

of the dangers of “what you don’t see.” Her indignation<br />

is fueled by the awareness that “moms, activists,<br />

pastors, and even our kids” had been speaking out for<br />

a year about the city’s water, to no avail.<br />

“Why wasn’t anyone in government listening to<br />

them?” she wonders. “Was it because they were poor<br />

and predominantly black? Or was it because there<br />

was no reason for government to listen to the people<br />

because Flint was no longer a democracy?”<br />

Hanna-Attisha’s work earned widespread accolades;<br />

Time Magazine named her one of the Most<br />

Influential People in the World in 2016, alongside<br />

civil engineer Marc Edwards, a corrosion expert and<br />

crucial ally whose earlier battles with the EPA, the<br />

CDC and municipal government during the 2004 Washington,<br />

DC water crisis deepen the book’s thematic<br />

subtext. (Not to mention concern about national water<br />

standards.)<br />

Key to Flint’s water crisis was Michigan Gov. Rick<br />

Snyder’s decision to essentially strip Flint’s municipal<br />

government of its powers by appointing an emergency<br />

manager whose mission was austerity at all costs.<br />

Differences in water treatment and transmission<br />

systems were not sufficiently considered when Flint’s<br />

water source was switched from Lake Huron and the<br />

Detroit River to the Flint River. Citizens had no power<br />

to remove the appointed emergency managers whose<br />

decisions caused lead to leach into their water supply,<br />

and who were accountable only to the governor.<br />

Hanna-Attisha blames Flint’s crisis on “the ideology of<br />

extreme austerity and ‘all government is bad government.’”<br />

“In my mind,” she writes, “it wasn’t a coincidence<br />

that DC and Flint are both places, in different ways,<br />

that lack adequate political representation — places<br />

where democracy is far from complete. … In Flint,<br />

with an unelected emergency manager in charge …<br />

layers of accountability and responsibility had been<br />

stripped away.”<br />

An Iraqi immigrant born inEngland to scientists<br />

who fled Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship, Hanna-<br />

Attisha grew up riding bikes, acing tests and learning<br />

environmental activism in suburban Detroit, where<br />

her father supported the family for decades with<br />

his GM job. Weaving her family’s “saga of loss and<br />

Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha<br />

dislocation” into her role in publicizing the Flint crisis<br />

illuminates her ethical commitment to her patients<br />

and community, and her outrage at how the system is<br />

betraying them.<br />

“As it had for so many immigrants over the<br />

centuries, the promise of America worked for my<br />

family. We’d left a country that was broken, unsafe,<br />

unpredictable, and oppressing its own people for a<br />

country that allowed us to thrive. My parents didn’t<br />

have much when they arrived in the United States,<br />

but they were able to use their educations to find<br />

good-paying jobs, buy a house in a safe neighborhood,<br />

and educate [my brother] Mark and me at<br />

Michigan’s excellent public schools and universities.<br />

The American Dream — buoyed, backed, and<br />

underwritten by the choices of the American people,<br />

expressed through their democratically elected government<br />

— worked for us in so many ways that it no<br />

longer works for my kids in Flint — and maybe was<br />

never meant to.”<br />

Peppered with parts-per-billion statistics, her<br />

language is nonetheless conversational, and occasionally<br />

amusing. Her shock at discovering that Edwards<br />

is a conservative Republican is a bit comical, though<br />

it also triggers worthy self-examination. Despite their<br />

different political philosophies, they were united in<br />

their belief that “if you weren’t on the right side of a<br />

public health crisis, you were a bystander to a crime.”<br />

“What mattered wasn’t politics or political philosophy<br />

— it as Flint’s kids. That was ground I was<br />

willing to stand on with anybody. And it was a good<br />

piece of ground to occupy … I was a true believer<br />

when it came to government. I had faith in its ability<br />

to protect rights, promote equality, and mitigate<br />

historic injustice. So much of my life and advocacy<br />

rested on that.”<br />

Despite the faith-shaking machinations of various<br />

public figures, the book ultimately affirms those values.<br />

At a time when citizens nationwide feel betrayed<br />

by elected representatives, we need more examples of<br />

civic heroism like this. n<br />

Two tracks into Ben Bostick’s<br />

“Hellfire,” it’s obvious that<br />

this is altogether rowdier<br />

than last year’s self-titled album.<br />

His gruff baritone’s toughened,<br />

electric guitar has replaced<br />

strummy acoustic, and a full band<br />

pounds out shorter, snappier<br />

working-class tales like the sardonic<br />

“It Ain’t Cheap Being Poor,”<br />

“The Other Side of Wrong” (“A<br />

man of my disposition should steer<br />

clear of alcohol / If I didn’t make<br />

bad decisions I wouldn’t make no<br />

decisions at all”) and “No Show<br />

Blues” (“I had a job in the Valley<br />

but I doubt I do anymore/ I took a<br />

day off and then I took four more”).<br />

The songs were composed during<br />

a yearlong residency at Downtown<br />

LA’s rustic Escondite bar, when<br />

Bostick was trying to connect with<br />

cynical audiences.<br />

“The whole goal was to make<br />

music the crowd would get into.<br />

Sort of dark, fast songs seemed<br />

to be what turned them on,” he<br />

recalls with a laugh. “I just went<br />

with it.”<br />

troubadour with a discerning eye<br />

for detail, Bostick says he wanted<br />

“Hellfire,” recorded in three days,<br />

to sound “almost like a punk<br />

record.” He created a Spotify<br />

playlist of artists who inspired<br />

the music’s spirit: Bo Diddley,<br />

the Hives, Jerry Lee Lewis, the<br />

Pogues, the Rolling Stones,<br />

Dwight Yoakam.<br />

“We just recorded it real fast<br />

and raw and live in the studio,”<br />

he says. “I wanted it to have that<br />

energy that you get with performances<br />

at a live venue, with<br />

all the flaws and no overdubs,<br />

nothing prettied up. My goal was<br />

to make it with the raw power<br />

of country music [but like] Iggy<br />

Pop.”<br />

Closing track “The Outsider,”<br />

with Luke Miller’s wicked organ<br />

and slamming drums from Perry<br />

Morris that Max Weinberg might<br />

appreciate, suggests future<br />

releases may “open up the sound<br />

palette” even more.<br />

“I definitely don’t want to be<br />

somebody who does the same<br />

thing over and over again. I like on<br />

every record to do different stuff.<br />

When I make my next record,” Bostick<br />

warns, laughing, “don’t expect<br />

anything.”<br />

By that time his daily life will<br />

TRAX BY BLISS<br />

PETAL, Magic Gone (Run for Cover): HHHH<br />

Pennsylvania indie-rocker Kiley Lotz, better known<br />

as Petal, tunefully documents a raw, thorny period<br />

of breakup, breakdown and acceptance with<br />

grungy guitar, piano, occasional drum thrashing,<br />

and unwavering clarity. “I wish I could unsee your<br />

kindness, every upward turn of your mouth, but I<br />

cannot/ So I’ll bury it in sound, in grace, erasing<br />

myself,” she vows over simply strummed guitar<br />

during the harrowing, octave-spanning “Carve.” As<br />

rock confessionals go, hers are brutal, yet beautifully<br />

delivered. At the Bootleg Bar in LA July 6. petalpa.<br />

GINKGOA, One Time (self-produced): HH½<br />

Frontwoman Nicolle Rochelle coos like a saucy<br />

Andrews Sister during “Don’t Give a Damn,” then<br />

kittenishly fingers a page from Madonna’s “Material<br />

Girl” playbook for “Got to Gimme” (“You got to buy<br />

me all the stuff that my heart needs/ …Shut up and<br />

kiss me”) and the partly rapped “Boy Bounce” (“Grow<br />

yourself a pair/ Didja ever really care”). Producer<br />

Antoine Chatenet cherry-picks beats, instruments and<br />

samples to forge a kind of streetwise electro gypsyswing<br />

hybrid. It’s a lighthearted EP — not exactly<br />

memorable, but pleasantly distracting in the moment.<br />

DAWES, Passwords (HUB): HHHH<br />

Compositional craftsmanship and a sense of rooted<br />

community contribute to the gradually revealed<br />

pleasures of the LA folk-rockers’ sixth album.<br />

Frontman Taylor Goldsmith rues political polarization<br />

(“Living in the Future”), nurses romantic bruises<br />

(“Stay Down”) and questions priorities (the hooky<br />

“Feed the Fire”) before calling out his self-deceit with<br />

“My Greatest Invention” (“You can turn a second<br />

inside out and end up with an eternity/ But to polish<br />

up a diamond you have to clear some debris”) and<br />

committing to love and his Pasadena home on the<br />

achingly melodic “I Can’t Love.” It’s the kind of album<br />

you can take for long drives and stay friends with<br />

afterward. dawestheband.com<br />

BLUES ACE J.C. SPIRES RELEASES CD AT THE ALEX THEATRE<br />

For a midweek blues blast visit Glendale’s Alex Theatre Wednesday, when J.C. Spires, joined by an all-star band of session players,<br />

presents a free CD release show celebrating his release of “Farewell to a Rose.”<br />

The Glendale-based guitarist has traveled a long blues highway to reach this point. He started out in his native stomping<br />

grounds of Detroit, playing with none other than the great John Lee Hooker. Following that, he moved west, landing in Glendale and<br />

performing for years at the former Jax Bar & Grill.<br />

Following the venue’s closure, his band dissolved. A period of disappointing let downs followed, with completed projects that<br />

ended up not seeing the light of day in a real-life blues metaphor.<br />

However, with the release of the meticulously crafted new CD, recorded with a host of top-drawer players from acts like ELO,<br />

Ambrosia, Barry Manilow and others, Spires is back in the saddle.<br />

Visit jcspires.com. — John Sollenberger<br />

Music starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale. No cover. A full, no-host bar is included. Call (818) 243-2539 or<br />

ANTAEUS THEATRE COMPANY FOLLOWS ONE TOWN’S ROMANTIC TRAVAILS IN<br />

‘THREE DAYS IN THE COUNTRY’<br />

The Antaeus Theatre Company has built<br />

a strong reputation on the Los Angeles<br />

theater scene for creating innovative<br />

twists on classic plays. That approach is<br />

amply evident in their latest production,<br />

“Three Days in the Country,”<br />

which marks the West Coast debut of<br />

playwright Patrick Marber’s adaptation<br />

of Ivan Turgenev’s classic comedy “A<br />

Month in the Country,” running now<br />

through Aug. 26.<br />

Full of wit, folly and heart, the tale<br />

of unrequited passion unfolds over the<br />

course of three days in the sunny Russian<br />

countryside as men and women,<br />

both young and old, learn the tender and<br />

ridiculous lessons of love. Marber cut<br />

the length of Turgenev’s play down from<br />

a punishing four hours to a 135-minute<br />

version, while director Andrew Paul<br />

oversaw the hiring and rehearsals for 26<br />

actors filling 13 roles. That move built<br />

off an Antaeus tradition of doublecasting<br />

their plays to give more great<br />

local talent the chance to be seen in<br />

addition to helping alleviate the stress of<br />

its busiest actors as they build the stage<br />

production into their frequent shoots for<br />

film and TV projects.<br />

“It’s not as much about what’s different<br />

from the Turgenev play, but that<br />

it has a fresh sensibility about it,” says<br />

Nike Doukas, who shares the lead role<br />

24 PASADENA WEEKLY | <strong>07.05.18</strong><br />

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI<br />

of Natalya, the bored wife of a rich landowner,<br />

with Anna Khaja. “Turgenev was<br />

a playwright influenced by [playright<br />

Anton] Chekhov and has a Chekhovian<br />

feel to it: the people are wanting<br />

relationships but not getting what they<br />

want. I think it’s great when playwrights<br />

do adaptations of plays, it’s more of a<br />

take on a play than a literal translation<br />

and shows their point of view.”<br />

The fact that “Three Days” is doublecast<br />

also doubles the excitement over<br />

at Antaeus, where two opening nights<br />

will be performed this Thursday and<br />

Friday to give all the actors a chance to<br />

shine. The rest of the ensemble includes<br />

Antonio Jaramillo and Daniel Blinkoff as<br />

Arkady the landowner, who is yearned<br />

after by family friend Rakitin (Corey<br />

Brill and Leo Marks).<br />

When Belyaev (Will Bradley<br />

and Peter Mendoza) arrives to tutor<br />

Natalya’s young son, Kolya (Elijah<br />

Justice and Marcello Silva), Natalya falls<br />

in love with him — but so do both her<br />

ward, Vera (Chelsea Kurtz and Jeanne<br />

Syquia), and the servant, Katya (Ellis<br />

Greer and Lila Dupree). Meanwhile,<br />

Matvey (Jay Lee and John Bobek)<br />

loves Katya, Bolshintsov (Alberto<br />

Isaac and Gregory Itzin) pines after<br />

Vera, and the local doctor, Shpigelsky<br />

(Harry Groener and Armin Shimerman),<br />

hopes to marry Lizaveta (Dawn<br />

Didawick and Lily Knight). Also in the<br />

ensemble are Lorna Raver and Reba<br />

Waters Thomas as Arkady’s mother,<br />

Anna, and Marcelo Tubert and Patrick<br />

Wenk-Wolff as Schaaf, a German tutor.<br />

“What’s most interesting about the<br />

play is it’s written by Marber, who wrote<br />

‘Closer’ about love in the 20th century,<br />

and this is about love in the 19th<br />

century,” says director Andrew Paul.<br />

“I directed the American debut of the<br />

play in 2016 and this is the West Coast<br />

premiere. The original play is legendary<br />

for inspiring Chekhov to write for the<br />

theater, after just writing stories. I was<br />

always puzzled by that because I found<br />

it tedious and never really enjoyed it.<br />

“I met with Marber and after the<br />

success of ‘Closer’ the play and the<br />

movie, he said his family members were<br />

living in London and were nervous about<br />

raising kids in that environment due to<br />

terrorism,” Paul continues. “He became<br />

a gentleman farmer for seven years on<br />

a working farm and tapped into that<br />

experience in writing this.” n<br />

The Antaeus Theatre Company presents “Three<br />

Days in the Country” starting at 8 p.m. tonight<br />

and running through Aug. 26 at 110 E. Broadway,<br />

Glendale. Tickets are $15 for previews and $30 to<br />

$34. Call (818) 506-1983 or visit antaeus.org.<br />

CAPSULE REVIEWS<br />

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI<br />

JURASSIC WORLD:<br />

FALLEN KINGDOM<br />

Stars: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard<br />

Length: 126 minutes<br />

Directed by: J.A. Bayona<br />

Rating: PG-13<br />

This edition of the second "Jurassic" trilogy<br />

still serves up plenty of relentless scares,<br />

but a total of five movies in, the idea of<br />

genetically engineered dinosaurs endangering<br />

humans is growing as old as the real-life<br />

beasts. Director Bayona has a lot of fun with<br />

the beasts rampaging through an essentially<br />

haunted house, but its stars don't have as<br />

much to do. Grade: B<br />

TAG<br />

Stars: Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Hannibal<br />

Buress, Jon Hamm<br />

Length: 100 minutes<br />

Directed by: Jeff Tomsic<br />

Rating: R<br />

Obnoxious, unfunny and utterly tone-deaf,<br />

this action-comedy rooted in the true-life<br />

misadventures of several middle-aged men<br />

who have been playing the same elaborate,<br />

stunt-driven game of tag since childhood<br />

should have been hilarious. A sad waste of<br />

some great comic talent, undercut further by<br />

terribly expository writing . Grade:F<br />

Big Laughs, Little Sting<br />

LACK OF VILLAINS MAKES ‘ANT-MAN AND THE WASP’ FEEL LIKE PUNCHES WERE PULLED<br />

One of the many refreshing qualities that have helped the Marvel<br />

superhero movies dominate the global box office over the<br />

past decade has been their strong sense of humor. Rather<br />

than merely being brooding and morose like the DC films such as<br />

“Man of Steel” and “Batman vs. Superman,” the Marvel Cinematic<br />

Universe (MCU) from “Iron Man” onward have infused their adventures<br />

with laughs from both witty lines and plot-driven moments.<br />

In 2015’s first “Ant-Man” movie, the comedy took precedence over<br />

superhero theatrics in focusing on the story of a cat burglar named<br />

Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) who had to find his inner hero and help his<br />

mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), pull off a heist that could<br />

save the world. Aside from hilarious dialogue, the film zipped along<br />

with highly original action set pieces centered upon Hank’s ability to<br />

make Scott gain more strength as he grew ever tinier.<br />

It was a combo that made that first film my personal favorite<br />

among the entire MCU, as I preferred the comedy and humanity of<br />

it and the fact it wove in the heist genre— including a colorful and<br />

diverse supporting cast of Scott’s fellow thieves — to great effect.<br />

All of these elements came together to create a film that thanks to<br />

Rudd’s affable performance was the most relatable of all the Marvel<br />

heroes.<br />

Now the sequel, “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” is coming out this<br />

weekend, and returning director Peyton Reed and his team of<br />

writers has amped up the comedy even more. They have also added<br />

Laurence Fishburne and Michelle Pfeiffer to the mix, with Fishburne<br />

playing a former colleague turned scientific rival of Pym’s and<br />

Pfeiffer playing Pym’s wife Janet and mother to their daughter, Hope<br />

(Evangeline Lilly).<br />

At the end of the first “Ant-Man,” it was revealed that Hank had<br />

managed to develop similar shrinking and strength powers for Hope<br />

and crafted a super-suit for her as The Wasp. In the new film, she’s<br />

been upgraded to a full-on co-star and sidekick of Scott.<br />

The mission is more personal this time, as Hank and Hope believe<br />

that Janet didn’t die amid an experimental trip into a quantum<br />

molecular state but rather merely became trapped in that parallel<br />

state of existence. Hank and Hope want to risk everything to find<br />

Janet and bring her back to the real world, with Scott jumping in on<br />

it despite the fact that he’s trapped by house arrest for violating his<br />

probation when he engaged in the superhero battle royale in “Captain<br />

America: Civil War.”<br />

Scott wants to help as a means of rebuilding his frayed friendship<br />

with Hank and rekindle his romance with Hope, but there are<br />

several bumps to contend with. An FBI agent (Randall Park) is<br />

relentlessly trying to prove that Hank is violating his house arrest, a<br />

mysterious figure called Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) keeps showing<br />

up at the worst moments to fight them over access to the quantum<br />

realm, and a sleazy arms dealer (Walton Goggins) is determined<br />

to have Hank’s bridge to the quantum realm at all costs.<br />

Having to contend with all these challenges ensures that the<br />

film is relentlessly paced and never boring. Yet the fact that the<br />

arms dealer is a buffoon and Ghost turns out to have a surprisingly<br />

sympathetic reason to capture the bridge means that there’s not<br />

enough tension from villainy to really sustain viewer interest at a<br />

pitch-perfect level.<br />

Instead, “Ant-Man and the Wasp” proves to be a fun romp, but<br />

not one that’s completely compelling to blockbuster fans at the level<br />

of the “Avengers” movies. Rudd does a great job again and it’s fun<br />

to see Douglas getting a high-profile role in the twilight years of his<br />

career, but Pfeiffer barely gets any screen time in this go-round and<br />

her absence is glaring considering that her addition is being hyped.<br />

The biggest breakthrough in the film is Lilly, who proves to be<br />

slyly sexy in addition to engaging in plenty of inventive ass-kicking<br />

heroics. But the biggest star of all is the effects team, which might<br />

seem to be an obvious kudo to give in a superhero film, but when<br />

one considers that this movie includes giant Pez dispensers as<br />

weapons and Ant-Man turning into a 60-foot-tall menace to the arms<br />

dealer’s getaway boat, it is high praise indeed. n<br />

“ANT-MAN AND THE WASP”: B<br />

HEARTS BEAT LOUD<br />

Stars: Nick Offerman, Kiersey Clemons, Ted<br />

Danson, Toni Colette<br />

Length: 97 minutes<br />

Directed by: Brett Haley<br />

Rating: R<br />

A sweet story of a widower and his teenage<br />

daughter who create a hit song together just<br />

as she's about to go to a far-off college and<br />

have to decide whether to ride it out as a<br />

band or go their separate ways, this film is<br />

warm, human and touching - three qualities<br />

that are absent from most summer films. The<br />

song rocks and Haley films its creation in a<br />

breathtaking sequence. Grade:B<br />

WON'T YOU BE MY<br />

NEIGHBOR?<br />

Stars: Fred Rogers, Joanne Rogers,<br />

Betty Aberlin<br />

Length: 94 minutes<br />

Directed by: Morgan Neville<br />

Rating: PG-13<br />

This documentary on the life of TV legend<br />

Fred Rogers has a quiet power that<br />

sneaks up on viewers, as it reminds us<br />

that his seemingly simple "Mr. Rogers'<br />

Neighborhood" tackled heavy duty issues<br />

like war, divorce and racism. The fact that<br />

lifelong Republican minister Rogers helped<br />

push social progress is a touching reminder<br />

that we all need to work together to make the<br />

world a better place. Grade:A<br />

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING<br />

Notice of Public Hearing to Consider<br />

Single-Family Residential Design<br />

Guidelines and Review Process<br />

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In response<br />

to community concerns regarding the<br />

potential for “mansionization” in Pasadena,<br />

and at the direction of the City<br />

Council, the Planning & Community<br />

Development Department has undertaken<br />

a three-phase effort to revise<br />

development standards applicable to<br />

single-family dwellings. As the fi nal<br />

phase of this effort, and in order to<br />

ensure greater consistency and compatibility<br />

among single-family dwellings,<br />

the proposed project would create<br />

Single Family Residential Design<br />

Guidelines applicable to construction<br />

of a new single family dwelling, new<br />

second stories and second story additions,<br />

and signifi cant exterior alterations.<br />

Such projects would be subject<br />

to a new discretionary review process<br />

and involve public noticing.<br />

PROJECT LOCATION: All single-family<br />

residential properties that are not located<br />

within the Neighborhood Overlay<br />

District (Lower Hastings Ranch) or<br />

Hillside Overlay areas.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:<br />

The Planning Commission will consider<br />

whether adoption of the proposed<br />

Zoning Code Amendment is exempt<br />

from the California Environmental<br />

Quality Act under Section 15061(b)<br />

(3), under the general rule that CEQA<br />

applies only to projects which have<br />

the potential for causing a signifi cant<br />

effect on the environment. Where it<br />

can be seen with certainty that there<br />

is no possibility that the activity in<br />

question may have a signifi cant effect<br />

on the environment, the activity is not<br />

subject to CEQA.<br />

APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning<br />

Commission will conduct a public<br />

hearing and consider the proposed<br />

amendments on July 25, 2018. The<br />

Planning Commission will forward its<br />

recommendation to the City Council.<br />

The City Council will make a fi nal decision<br />

on the proposed amendments at a<br />

separately-noticed public hearing.<br />

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the<br />

Planning Commission will hold a public<br />

hearing to receive input from the<br />

public and provide comments on the<br />

proposed Single-Family Residential<br />

Design Guidelines and review process,<br />

pertaining to single-family residential<br />

properties.<br />

Date: Wednesday, July 25, 2018<br />

Time: 6:30 p.m.<br />

Place: City Hall<br />

Council Chamber,<br />

party or their representative may<br />
