HORRIFIC EXAMPLE<br />
President Trump just used<br />
the Bible as an excuse to<br />
divide parents from infants<br />
and abduct and torture<br />
children at detention sites.<br />
Our president has now<br />
reached the lowest bar,<br />
repeating a similar program<br />
that Nazis once employed<br />
under Hitler. Trump is not<br />
only a horrific example for the<br />
Christian faith; he is a horrific<br />
example and disgrace for our<br />
country.<br />

VIA EMAIL<br />
TARIFFS TOO LOW<br />
Donald Trump has been placing various tariffs on<br />
products produced overseas. There are arguments between<br />
economists as to whether these tariffs are helpful to the<br />
American economy. So far it seems the tariffs have been<br />
useful to the Trump administration in opening discussions<br />
with other nations in renegotiating trade agreements.<br />
What is not being thought about is the cost to the<br />
environment of the global economy. When viewed for this<br />
standpoint, the Trump administration’s tariffs are far too<br />
low and far too temporary.<br />
It is true that US manufacturers have moved production<br />
from the United States to China, Vietnam, India,<br />
Indonesia and the like to avoid those burdensome and<br />
costly regulations. We are shipping steel, aluminum,<br />
glass and plastic production to places that impose lower<br />
environmental standards than those in place in America in<br />
1955. This, naturally, leads<br />
to local environmental<br />
degradation where the<br />
factories are located. But<br />
this unregulated production<br />
also pollutes the entire<br />
world’s air and oceans. This<br />
shift in production from<br />
places with clean air, soil<br />
and water regulations to<br />
places with no regulation<br />
has an obvious worldwide<br />
systemic negative impact.<br />
The United States,<br />
Europe and the British<br />
Commonwealth should<br />
develop tariffs based on<br />
the differential of the cost<br />
between complying and not<br />
complying with clean air,<br />
soil and water standards,<br />
plus a penalty for the<br />
pollution, plus a further<br />
penalty for shipping the<br />
products halfway around<br />
the world. Yes, the shipping<br />
has an impact on worldwide<br />
clean oceans and clean air.<br />
These tariffs would improve<br />
worldwide water, air and soil<br />
quality by encouraging either<br />
production in nations with<br />
high ecological standards<br />
for production or for nations<br />
without those standards<br />
to implement them to keep<br />
production there.<br />
The United States can,<br />
and as the world’s largest<br />
consumer should, implement<br />
tariffs that protect the<br />
environment of the whole<br />
Earth.<br />

UNITE FOR CHANGE<br />
“Christian” conservative<br />
politicians have no empathy<br />
or emotion. They do not<br />
know love. They are<br />
psychopaths hidden behind<br />
a “mask of sanity” that<br />
presents them as Christians,<br />
but they are not Christians.<br />
They are “Caricatures of<br />
Christians.” Their actions<br />
are not Christ-like. They take<br />
everything from their fellow<br />
man. They are fascists who<br />
create misery, pain, civil<br />
oppression, economic failure<br />
and endless war. They don’t<br />
care about us; they have no<br />
guilt, conscience or remorse.<br />
Our thinking is atomized.<br />
Whatever we concern<br />
ourselves with grows.<br />
Emphasize democracy, not<br />
fascism. All we do is discuss<br />
possibilities of what was<br />
bad, what is bad, and what<br />
may be bad. We see, hear<br />
and know what is right<br />
but we are too cowardly<br />
to take on the injustice we<br />
see festering everywhere.<br />
We have all the information<br />
we need to unite and break<br />
free. We deny what we know<br />
because our awareness<br />
demands that we unite<br />
in every different fight.<br />
Think only how to unite.<br />
Unite your intelligence and<br />
intuition into one thinking<br />
unit for change. Think only<br />
on how to change America<br />
for the better.<br />

‘MORAL DECAY’<br />
FEDERALLY FUNDED ADOPTION AGENCIES SHOULD NOT BE<br />
PERMITTED TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LGBT FAMILIES<br />
Legalizing discrimination against LGBT people, by individuals and<br />
organizations employed or funded by the government, is a reflection of moral<br />
decay within our society.<br />
An amendment approved on July 11 by the Republican majority in the House<br />
Appropriations Committee to the 2019 funding bill for the Departments of<br />
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education does just this. The approved<br />
amendment allows federally funded child welfare placing agencies to discriminate<br />
against children in their care and qualified prospective parents based on sexual<br />
orientation, gender identity and religion.<br />
Allowing people and organizations receiving taxpayer funds to discriminate<br />
against a segment of the population they view as immoral, based upon an<br />
immutable characteristic having nothing to do with character and integrity,<br />
couldn’t be more reprehensible. While people may differ in opinion as to what is<br />
sinful and immoral, such things are always based upon actions and behaviors —<br />
not unalterable traits.<br />
This seemingly endless mistreatment of LGBT people is based upon a sincerely<br />
held religious belief that their sexual orientation and gender identities are<br />
preferences or choices, which is contrary to uniform findings from professional<br />
mental health, medical and scientific organizations. What is unethical and<br />
immoral is denying people justice, fairness and rights because of who they are,<br />
irrespective of what they do. As Pope Francis purportedly said, earlier this year,<br />
to an abuse survivor in a private meeting, “God made you this way and loves you<br />
this way, and the pope loves you this way.”<br />
An article published by Science Daily in June titled “Psychological Adjustment,<br />
No difference in outcomes for children of same-sex versus different-sex parents,”<br />
states: “most studies have found no difference in child psychological adjustment<br />
or in the quality of parenting and family relationships for gay or lesbian parents,<br />
compared to heterosexual parents.”<br />
As a mediator and a conflict resolution consultant, I am having an incredibly<br />
difficult time understanding why it’s acceptable for the government to use<br />
taxpayer money to fund organizations that discriminate against children under<br />
their care and qualified prospective parents when LGBT people pay an equal<br />
share of taxes. This type of absurdity is destined to occur when people refuse to<br />
separate the person from the behavior.<br />
Who’s engaging in unethical and immoral behavior by punishing individuals for<br />
entering into committed relationships with other consenting adults, rather than<br />
living their entire lives alone and celibate?<br />
As a mediator, when dealing with conflicts involving differing values and moral<br />
differences, it’s essential to develop mutual understanding and respect between<br />
all the parties. But how do you develop mutual understanding and respect when<br />
one side views a person’s sexual orientation as a “sin” and therefore insists on<br />
trying to change it? How do you develop such things when one side falsely links<br />
pedophilia to a person’s sexual orientation, when all the credible research reflects<br />
that gays are no more likely to molest children or be sexually attracted to them<br />
than are straight people? The only research reflecting otherwise falsely assumes<br />
that a person who molests a child of their same sex is gay.<br />
International mediators Tracy Allen and Eric Galton state, “The way we change<br />
our minds on moral issues is by interacting with others, especially because we<br />
are not good at seeking evidence that contradicts our beliefs.” That’s how you gain<br />
emotional self-awareness.<br />
As an example, consider a statement made by the Rev. Rob Schenck, a once<br />
militant and very self-righteous evangelical minister who recently stated in an<br />
interview with NPR’s Terry Gross, “I can certainly speak for myself in those times<br />
and say that I was not the most self-aware. I really didn’t understand myself.”<br />
Time will tell whether Congress will pass a version of the 2019 funding bill<br />
for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education which<br />
includes the amendment legalizing discrimination against LGBT people by<br />
recipients of taxpayer money. If it does, it would be a reflection of moral decay<br />
within our society and goes against the very principles which led to the creation of<br />
our great nation. ■<br />

THE<br />
‘SUNSHINE’<br />
STATE<br />
BILLS COULD HAVE MAJOR IMPACTS ON USE-OF-FORCE<br />
INCIDENTS AND POLICE TRANSPARENCY<br />
BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN<br />
The state Senate Appropriations Committee, chaired by state<br />
Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-Glendale), opened hearings on<br />
Monday regarding Assembly Bill 931, a controversial piece<br />
of legislation which could redefine when police officers can use<br />
deadly force.<br />
The measure has met with resistance from law enforcement<br />
groups.<br />
“We find ourselves dumbfounded that legislation of this<br />
magnitude was introduced without consulting law enforcement<br />
stakeholders,” the Sacramento Bee reported California Police<br />
Chiefs Association President David Swing saying in early April,<br />
shortly after the bill was introduced.<br />
Swing, according to the Bee, said communities woiuld be put at<br />
risk by causing police to second-guess their actions.<br />
Swing said police, who learned of the legislation through media<br />
reports, would be open to collaborating with supporters of the bill.<br />
However, the newspaper reported Swing said it was “premature<br />
to discuss what changes to the lethal force standard police chiefs<br />
might be willing to consider talking to supporters of the bill.”<br />
Meanwhile, other recently introduced legislation, Senate<br />
Bill 1421, could force police departments to release the records<br />
of officers, including complaints regarding their actions<br />
and investigations into their behavior. The bill would force<br />
departments to release records of officer-involved shootings;<br />
incidents involving electronic devices like Tasers; strikes to the<br />
head and neck by impact weapons; fatal use-of-force incidents<br />
and encounters which resulted to serious bodily harm; and sexual<br />
assault incidents, including those in which force or threats were<br />
used in attempts to initiate sexual contact.<br />
Departments would also be forced to release to the public<br />
any records indicating officers were caught lying in relation to<br />
reporting and investigating crimes.<br />
That bill has already passed in the senate’s Public Safety<br />
Committee.<br />
“Building trust between police and communities has to start<br />
with transparency,” said bill author state Sen. Nancy Skinner<br />
(D-Berkeley). “SB1421 ensures that when officers use serious or<br />
deadly force, engage in sexual assault or are dishonest in carrying<br />
out their duties, the public is informed.”<br />
California’s existing confidentiality rules about police conduct<br />
and misconduct, which SB1421 would modify, are among some<br />
of the most stringent in the country, according to Skinner. Under<br />
existing law, the public and hiring agencies do not have access to<br />
substantiated reports of officer misconduct.<br />
HARD TIMES<br />
SENIOR HOMELESS<br />
POPULATION KEEPS GROWING<br />
According to a memo<br />
by Pasadena Housing<br />
Director William<br />
Huang, the city’s<br />
homeless senior citizen<br />
population is increasing<br />
at an alarming rate.<br />
Pasadena saw a<br />
65 percent increase—<br />
from 153 to 253 — in<br />
homeless seniors William Huang<br />
(people 50 and older)<br />
over the past two years. The San Gabriel<br />
Valley saw a staggering 116 percent increase<br />
— from 188 to 406 — over the past<br />
year, Huang said.<br />
The increases are largely due to economic<br />
woes as costs continue to rise at<br />
rates that make basic housing unaffordable<br />
for the middle class and poor people.<br />
“It’s an indication that seniors are having<br />
a hard time. The typical Social Security<br />
payment is $1,300 a month,” said Huang.<br />
“In this area, that is not even one month’s<br />
rent. Pasadena is a high-cost area, so we<br />
see the impact more than in other places.<br />
Our residents get hit more by housing<br />
costs, which have increased much faster<br />
than income.”<br />
The average rent for an apartment in<br />
Pasadena is about $2,200 a month. Landlords<br />
can raise the rent at any time, and in<br />
some cases residents are faced with $500<br />
a month increases. A local effort to force a<br />
rent control ordinance onto the November<br />
ballot failed in May. A statewide initiative<br />
will appear on the ballot that would repeal a<br />
law blocking rent control in local communities.<br />
(Please see a related story on page 8.).<br />
Overall, Pasadena saw an 18 percent<br />
increase in homeless people, from 575 in<br />
2017 to 677 this year.<br />
The homeless population in Los Angeles<br />
County dropped by 4 percent — from<br />
55,048 to 52,765 — during the same time<br />
period, according to the Los Angeles Homeless<br />
Services Authority (LAHSA).<br />
The city’s public transportation system,<br />
specifically the Gold Line, may also be a<br />
factor in the rising numbers, as it allows<br />
more people to come into Pasadena.<br />
According to a June 28 column by<br />
Anthony Manousos which appeared in the<br />
Pasadena Weekly, religious leaders and<br />
church members have signed more than<br />
400 letters in support of homeless housing<br />
for seniors.<br />

ANOTHER LOCK OUT<br />
GLENDALE TENANTS UNION LATEST<br />
TO FAIL IN COLLECTING ENOUGH<br />
SIGNATURES TO GET RENT CONTROL<br />
ON NOVEMBER BALLOT<br />
BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN<br />
Another local rent control effort has come up short<br />
on the required number of signatures to qualify for<br />
the November ballot.<br />
Mike Van Gorder<br />
On Monday, the Glendale City Clerk deemed<br />
4,000 signatures collected by the Glendale Tenants Union (GTU) “insufficient.”<br />
The GTU, which needed 10,529 valid signatures to qualify for the<br />
general election, is the latest to fall short in attempts to force a rent control<br />
initiative onto a local ballot.<br />
“That Glendale, Long Beach, Inglewood and Pasadena were all ‘insufficient’<br />
in their signature collection efforts is far more of an indictment of<br />
the voter-led initiative process itself,” GTU member Mike Van Gorder said<br />
in a prepared statement.<br />
In May, officials with the Pasadena Tenants Union (PTU) also came up<br />
short in its efforts to get a rent control initiative on the November ballot. In<br />
May, the group had collected 8,679 signatures, with 12,300 valid signatures<br />
required, according to City Clerk Mark Jomsky.<br />
One month later, the Secretary of State’s Office reported that backers<br />
of Proposition 10, an initiative that would repeal the Costa Hawkins<br />
Act of 1995 prohibiting cities from enacting their own rent-control laws,<br />
had collected far more signatures than needed to qualify for the Nov. 6<br />
ballot. Organizers collected nearly 600,000 signatures, with 365,880 valid<br />
signatures required.<br />
“We calculated that we’d need $60,000 worth of time and money to<br />
collect enough signatures just to ask the voters a question,” Van Gorder<br />
said. The GTU will now attempt to force the Glendale City Council to adopt<br />
their measure — calling for a 4 percent a year cap on rents and a creation<br />
of a board to oversee compliance — and are planning a rally at the next<br />
upcoming City Council meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 14, to demand their support.<br />
“If the City Council fails us again, we will launch another petition starting<br />
with the army we’ve built over the past year. There’s a lot you can do<br />
with thousands of motivated voters that are vocally tired of a city government<br />
that doesn’t protect them,” said Van Gorder.<br />
About two-thirds of households in Glendale are renters, and, according<br />
to the city’s own data, 59 percent of renters pay more than 30 percent of<br />
their income on rent.<br />
“We’re trying to protect the most vulnerable members of the community<br />
who have neither time nor money and needing five figures’ worth of<br />
money to participate in civics is absurd,” Van Gorder said. n<br />
SPEAKING FREELY<br />
ACLU HOSTS FORUM ON FIRST<br />
AMENDMENT RIGHTS<br />
BY VICTOR GARCIA<br />
What right did virtually blacklisted NFL quarterback<br />
Colin Kaepernick and other pro football players<br />
have last season to take a knee during the playing<br />
of the National Anthem?<br />
Another important question is will First<br />
Amendment rights survive the war on the media<br />
being launched by the Trump administration,<br />
John Terhranian<br />
with reporters being called “liars,” “worst people” and “enemies of the<br />
people”?<br />
At the same time, Kaepernick and his colleagues are demeaned,<br />
slandered, called “traitors” and blackballed for expressing solidarity with<br />
young black men killed by police.<br />
How can democracy function without a vibrant press trusted by the<br />
public? And how can society function if citizens are prohibited from<br />
exercising their constitutional rights to free speech?<br />
These and other questions will be answered beginning at 7 p.m.<br />
Tuesday, Aug. 14, at Glendale City Church during a forum hosted by the<br />
ACLU SoCal Pasadena-Foothills Chapter.<br />
Among those scheduled to speak at the event are the Rev. K.W.<br />
Tulloss, national regional director of the National Action Alliance, which<br />
has protested the blackballing of Kaepernick; constitutional lawyer and<br />
political activist Stephen Rohde, winner of a long series of appellate<br />
victories in the areas of civil liberties and First Amendment law; John<br />
Terhranian, a constitutional law professor at Southwest Law School;<br />
Sharon Kyle, publisher of LA Progressive an ACLU national board<br />
member; and Jim Nasella, a lawyer with the ACLU SoCal Pasadena-<br />
Foothill chapter.<br />
Glendale City Church is located at 610 E. California Blvd., Glendale. n<br />
THE ‘SUNSHINE’ STATE<br />
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7<br />
Skinner said the restrictions<br />
erode public trust and can allow<br />
officers with repeated incidents<br />
of serious misconduct to bounce<br />
from agency to agency undetected.<br />
“California is an outlier when it<br />
comes to providing public access<br />
to law enforcement records,” said<br />
Skinner in a prepared statement.<br />
“SB1421 is a sunshine ordinance<br />
that will help build trust and<br />
accountability.”<br />
According to the bill, during<br />
an active investigation of an<br />
incident involving one or more<br />
officers, disclosure by police<br />
may be delayed for up to 60 days<br />
from the date the use of force<br />
occurred or until the district<br />
attorney determines whether to<br />
file criminal charges related to the<br />
use of force, whichever occurs sooner.<br />
If an agency delays disclosure pursuant to<br />
this clause, the agency would have to provide a<br />
reason for the delay and an estimated date for the<br />
disclosure of that information.<br />
“The public has a right to know all about serious<br />
police misconduct, as well as about officer-involved<br />
shootings and other serious uses of force,” the bill<br />
reads. “Concealing crucial public safety matters<br />
such as officer violations of civilians’ rights,<br />
or inquiries into deadly use-of-force incidents<br />
undercuts the public’s faith in the legitimacy of law<br />
enforcement, makes it harder for tens of thousands<br />
of hardworking peace officers to do their jobs, and<br />
endangers public safety.”<br />
The California Supreme Court has previously<br />
ruled that some information from confidential police<br />
personnel records can only be released by a judge<br />
with the filing of a Pitchess Motion — named for<br />
former Los Angeles County Sheriff Peter J. Pitchess.<br />
SB1421 is co-authored by assembly members<br />
Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-South Los Angeles), Kevin<br />
McCarty (D-Sacramento), Mark Stone (D-Santa<br />
Clara) and Shirley Weber (D-San Diego).<br />
Weber and McCarty co-authored AB931, the<br />
“Police Accountability and Community Protection<br />
Act,” which could have a major impact on use of<br />
force incidents.<br />
The bill would permit officers to use deadly force<br />
only to prevent imminent bodily harm or death,<br />
and when there are no reasonable alternatives to<br />
de-escalate the situation through verbal warnings,<br />
persuasion, or other non-lethal efforts.<br />
According to text in the bill, if the bill passes<br />
officers would be forced “to attempt to control an<br />
incident by using time, distance, communications,<br />
and available resources in an effort to deescalate a<br />
situation whenever it is safe and reasonable to do<br />
so.”<br />
Under the bill, prosecutors would also be able<br />
to look at an officer’s actions leading up to a deadly<br />

publisher of the website and a<br />
member of the ACLU national<br />
board, participated in a forum<br />
Monday called “Legislating for Our<br />

“Part of what we’re doing<br />
here is creating an avenue for<br />

AB931 was introduced by Assembly members<br />
Weber and McCarty, with Assemblyman Chris<br />
Holden, D-Pasadena, who is also the chairman of the<br />
Legislative Black Caucus, as a principal co-author.<br />
“We should no longer be the target practice<br />
or victims of a shoot first, ask questions later<br />
police force,” Holden said soon after the bill was<br />
introduced.<br />
Law enforcement agencies have criticized the bill,<br />
claiming it would place officers’ lives in danger.<br />
According to Shaun Riddle, deputy director of the<br />
California Peace Officers Association, hundreds of<br />
supporters, including family and friends of people<br />
killed by police, showed up at the senate’s Public<br />
Safety Committee where AB931 was passed by a<br />
vote of 5-2 earlier this year.<br />
“The profession was accused of being racist<br />
and looking for an opportunity to shoot and kill<br />
whenever possible,” said Riddle on the CPOA’s<br />
website. “Due to the overwhelming support by pro-<br />
AB931 activists and legislators in the room, those<br />
comments were not allowed to be challenged.”<br />
Under the recommended changes, at least one<br />
high-profile Pasadena case could have resulted in<br />
charges against a Pasadena police officer. In 2012,<br />
Officer Jeffrey Newlen violated policy by leaving<br />
a police cruiser to pursue unarmed teen Kendrec<br />
McDade without communicating with his partner<br />
Matthew Griffin. The pair believed McDade was<br />
armed due to a call by a man who believed his<br />
briefcase was stolen from his car.<br />
After McDade reportedly turned and ran toward<br />
the car, Griffin opened fire, followed by Newlen<br />
who believed that it was McDade shooting. An<br />
independent probe later ruled the officers violated<br />
policy several times during the shooting.<br />
The city settled the case for just more than $1<br />
million.<br />
Under the bill, prosecutors could have claimed<br />
gross negligence in the incident due to Newlen’s<br />
2<br />
civilians were wounded<br />
on Tuesday in a bomb<br />
attack in Baghdad.<br />
According to CNN,<br />
the civilians were<br />
taken to a nearby<br />

THE DREAM OF ARLENE AND ROBERT OLTMAN<br />
FADES WITH THE PENDING CLOSURE OF THE<br />
PASADENA MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA ART<br />
BY PATRICIA CUNLIFFE<br />
PHOTO: Patricia Cunliffe<br />
A<br />
cting on a shared vision, Robert and Arlene Oltman decided to build the<br />
Pasadena Museum of California Art on Union Street in Mid-town Pasadena, a<br />
short walk from City Hall, itself a tribute to state artists and architects of the<br />
1920s. It was an astounding undertaking for those with much museum experience,<br />
exponentially more so for someone without that kind of background. The Oltman’s<br />
mission was to fill a void by providing an entity focused exclusively on California art,<br />
and PMCA officially opened its doors in 2002.<br />
The couple was able to attract as their founding director 32-year-old Wesley<br />
Jessup, who in four years had gone from working in visitor services to manager of<br />
budgeting and planning at the Guggenheim Museum while attending City University<br />
in Manhattan. During his tenure, Jessup reportedly brought the nonprofit’s operating<br />
budget from a quarter-million dollars a year to $1.2 million annually with a 12-member<br />
board. Jessup remained with PMCA until 2007.<br />
On June 13, current PMCA Board Chair Jim Crawford, a partner in the Westwood<br />
architectural firm Richard Meier & Partners, recommended that the museum close<br />
permanently at the end of the current exhibit: Feminist Judy Chicago, Brody Albert<br />
and Grafton Tyler Brown, the first known African-American artist working in California.<br />
The board voted 12-1 in favor of closing the museum on Oct. 7.<br />
Susana Smith Bautista, PhD, former director of the Mexican Cultural Institute and<br />
most recently USC’s Pacific Asia Museum, became executive director of PMCA in May<br />
2017. “The museum has had a lot of challenges,” states a disappointed Smith Bautista,<br />
“but after years of deficits, the museum finished the last two years in the black.”<br />
“Like many, l was shocked and saddened by the board’s decision to close PMCA,”<br />
says Carrie Adrian, collector of Latino art and founding member of the Ambassador’s<br />
Circle. This is PMCA’s major donor group, which is actively involved in the annual<br />
fundraising benefit.<br />
Melissa Aldama, art coordinator for the Altadena Public Library, is a volunteer at<br />
PMCA, “I immediately fell in love the first time I visited the museum so I reached out<br />
to them to volunteer, and just began in January. I was really looking forward to more<br />
opportunities to support the work they were doing. They offered something really<br />
special to the community.”<br />
“PMCA has hosted some superb surveys of California art, distinguishing itself<br />
particularly with its one-person retrospectives,” states Peter Frank, art critic, curator<br />
and associate editor of Fabrik Magazine. Frank was one of four curators for PMCA’s<br />
inaugural exhibition “On-Ramps: Transitional Moments in California Art.”<br />
“It also has been the site of some of the most important historical surveys of local<br />
art,” says Frank. “In doing so, the museum filled a niche in Southern California exhibition<br />
programming.”<br />
WHAT HAPPENED?<br />
“I believe our board members became tired and a little bit disenchanted,” says Robert<br />
Oltman, “It has been festering for a period of time. They were just tired of being<br />
asked all the time for money, and rightfully so. Many of them have been giving a very<br />
heavy amount.”<br />
The PMCA has never had an endowment, having to rely simply on nonprofit fundraising<br />
efforts and admissions to meet their goals. They had been able, for a period, to<br />

Susana Smith Bautista<br />
rent out the rooftop patio as a popular event venue; but that revenue stream stopped<br />
when the city of Pasadena decided to enforce zoning restrictions on the property. The<br />
Oltman’s hold no ill will, claiming that they are grateful that the city let it go on for as<br />
long as it did.<br />
Upon taking the position as director, Smith Bautista did her due diligence and actively<br />
sought out perceptions of the museum, particularly with funders, learning that<br />
the major concerns were PMCA’s history of deficits and the fact that the Oltman’s, who<br />
sold their home to be able to build the museum, lived on the property.<br />
“As far as I know, our living here in relationship to the 501(c)3 was not a problem.<br />
There was a perception that our living here made this our candy store and we should<br />
be responsible for taking care of it,” said Robert Oltman. “Therefore, foundations,<br />
grant organizations and so forth were very hesitant, and that was often the reason<br />
they gave.”<br />
“The city of Pasadena was one of the first ones to bring that up,” Arlene Oltman<br />
adds. “One of the articles said that PMCA paid us rent. But what they didn’t say was<br />
that in turn we made a gift-in-kind, for the exact same amount, that went right back to<br />
the museum.”<br />
“There is no reason why people can’t give money directly to the museum with a<br />
board of directors,” states Jan Masaoka, CEO of the California Association of Nonprofits,<br />
“However, any situation that raises eyebrows, whether legal or not, generates<br />
reluctance with donors regarding funding. There are viable ways to restructure the<br />
relationship so that it relaxes those eyebrows.”<br />
“It has been our plan to gift the building to PMCA, but that has to wait, I’m afraid,<br />
because we are not able to pay off the building just yet,” explains a visibly crushed<br />
Arlene Oltman. “We don’t want to give it to them with a payment. We’d like to give it to<br />
them free and clear.”<br />

COMMUNITY IMPACT<br />
“Susana Smith Bautista has brought to the table a sense of professionalism and<br />
broadened our fundraising efforts by adding a full-time development director to the<br />
staff,” Robert Oltman expresses, “And she showed us how to open with a splash.”<br />
“I place a high priority on the visitor experience, and how visitors engage with the<br />
museum and the art.” Smith Bautista explains, “We started working to increase our<br />
programming partners, to offer bold programming, to seek funding for education, and<br />
with the current show we decided to offer a cell phone audio tour, family guide and<br />
incubator space inside the exhibition, all for the first time.”<br />
Shortly after becoming executive director, Smith Bautista expressed a strong<br />
desire to engage with Los Angeles area artists and talked about plans to utilize the<br />
third floor as ongoing local artist exhibition space. It was also very important to her to<br />
cultivate partnerships with other entities. Not having perhaps as strong a support staff<br />
as she could have had left very little time to spend on future exhibits.<br />
“The loss of PMCA cannot be looked at as anything other than a tragedy,” says Alan<br />
Zorthian, executor of the Zorthian estate. “We were looking forward to producing a<br />
show on the life’s work of my father, Jirayr Zorthian, that incorporated not only his prolific<br />
production as a fine artist but also the architecture, art and sculpture he produced<br />
and incorporated on the Zorthian Ranch. We were delighted that Jirayr’s work was<br />
going to be given the recognition that it deserved.”<br />
“It breaks my heart. It was a great venue for the city of Pasadena,” states Suzanne<br />
Zada of Gallery Z in Beverly Hills, previously one of the original PMCA board members<br />
and executor of the Edward Biberman estate. Zada, recently featured in the Los<br />
Angeles Business Journal, was intending a Biberman retrospective at PMCA, curated<br />
by Ilene Susan Fort from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Smith<br />
Bautista was open to the idea but could not move forward without her exhibitions<br />
person being on board.<br />
“I am sad to see PMCA closing, but I think their shortcoming was that they did not<br />
cater to local tastes. I went there several times and I was always somewhat disappointed,”<br />
admits Pasadena artist Rudy Cole who recently had a very successful show<br />
at a local gallery. “I wish they could work something out to keep the place. Pasadena is<br />
considered an art city but we do not have enough places to show local talent.”<br />
That is a a sentiment shared by former Pasadena Society of Artists Exhibitions<br />
Chair Atanas Karpeles.<br />
“As a local artist, I went to see many exhibitions at PMCA. I enjoyed the different<br />
topics and really appreciated the earlier California artists,” says Karpeles. “But, for<br />
some reason, I didn’t see any local artists exhibited who live and work in Pasadena<br />
and Altadena.”<br />
It’s true that the Grafton Tyler Brown exhibit is the museum’s first time exhibiting<br />
a historical black artist in a city with a large African-American demographic; having<br />
previously exhibited only two contemporary African-American artists, Betye Saar and<br />
Corey Newkirk.<br />
DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY<br />
Both the Oltmans and current PMCA Board President Crawford said that they steer<br />
clear of the running of the museum, leaving it to the experts. Since Jessup’s departure,<br />
despite good intentions, the only real experts that have had any involvement with<br />
PMCA would be Jay Belloli, who acted as interim director for 11 months, until they<br />
were able to find Smith Bautista, the current executive director.<br />
The reason why the museum has been without professionals until recently is<br />
because salaries usually only attract the very inexperienced. Unfortunately, instead<br />
of recognizing that eventually this would have repercussions, the board is known to<br />
boast about “PMCA being a training ground for their staff to move on to bigger and<br />
better things.”<br />
The current board has no plans to resurrect the museum, although they do plan to<br />
keep the 501(c)3 status open. It is unfortunate that Bautista’s momentum was cut short<br />
by the decision of the board.<br />
“We realize that nothing is so wrong that money would not be able to fix,” said Oltman,<br />
who recently conducted his own survey of area museums in regard to cost per<br />
visitor per square footage of exhibition space, with PMCA coming in at the top, “The<br />
very first thing we would do is set up an endowment.”<br />
This is a perfect opportunity for a philanthropist, cultural entity, foundation or corporation<br />
to step in and give the community of Pasadena, and beyond, the museum that<br />
it deserves. California is a state filled with artists. It is extremely important to have a<br />
museum dedicated to California art.<br />
“If circumstances change and the museum could continue, it would not need only a<br />
new infusion of funding, but a new legal structure that would allow for a more independent<br />
and professional museum. Then I would happily stay and work hard to grow the<br />
museum,” says Smith Bautista.<br />
“I’d like to leave this world knowing that PMCA is stable,” Arlene Oltman says. “We<br />
still believe in the gift that we provided here. We believe we owe it to the community.”<br />
According to Frank, “PMCA always maintained a more-than-respectable place in local<br />
museology, and surprised and gratified us again and again. Galleries and even museums<br />
come and go —especially in Pasadena. But this one I’m going to miss dearly.”<br />
“Without question it’s with great regret that the museum is closing and we can only<br />
wish our employees, board members and all who supported the museum over the<br />
years our deepest thanks for their support,” concludes Robert Oltman. ■<br />

DELICIOSO IS THE WORD OF THE DAY EVERY DAY AT ALHAMBRA’S SPANGLISH KITCHEN<br />
BY EVELYN GARCIA | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO<br />
When Alberto Prado, founder and owner of Spanglish<br />
Kitchen, boasted that the items on his menu are better<br />
than my mom’s home cooking, I was skeptical. Not<br />
because the menu was unappealing, but because my mother's<br />
cooking—like many Hispanic mothers — is her pride and joy,<br />
most likely ranking right up there with her two daughters.<br />
Spanglish Kitchen opened in Alhambra in April 2016, boasting<br />
traditional Mexican dishes with modern, slightly Americanized<br />
twists. While this might make authentic Mexican food<br />
connoisseurs worry, fret not. True to its name, culinary offerings<br />
taste like you’re at home in your mother’s kitchen (sorry Mom),<br />
only while looking trendy and upscale.<br />
There’s a reason Prado’s motto is “Fresh ingredients for today’s<br />
service, restaurant quality out of a window.” Nestled on the corner<br />
of Alhambra Road and Atlantic Boulevard, Spanglish Kitchen<br />
stands out as patrons walk up to a window to order, dining on a<br />
small patio. Tables and chairs are lined up alongside the small<br />
kitchen with umbrellas overhead and small wooden fences so as<br />
not to be completely exposed to cars speeding by. The kitchen is<br />
reminiscent of a hip food truck without the wheels.<br />
Almost everything on the menu is under $10, making it the<br />
perfect place for families and those who want to try a bit of<br />
everything. Spanglish Kitchen offers classic meat options of<br />
asada, pastor, carnitas, chicken, even chorizo, as well as shrimp<br />
and fish. The meat options can be ordered in most varieties, from<br />
burritos and tortas to quesadillas and sopes. And for those who<br />
don’t eat meat, rejoice! Spanglish Kitchen has the best vegetarian<br />
options I have ever had the pleasure of trying.<br />
To start, I had the crunchy potato taco ($2.25) which was<br />
easily my favorite item of the night. It features sour cream,<br />

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE<br />
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13<br />
lettuce, cheese and chipotle, all nestled over creamy,<br />
flavorful mashed potatoes. I didn’t know I needed<br />
a mashed potato taco in my life until the moment<br />
all those flavors blissfully melted together in my<br />
mouth. Where most Mexican restaurants offer<br />
“veggie” options that consist of beans and cheese,<br />
Spanglish Kitchen has created a veggie mix to<br />
satisfy vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The mix<br />
has sauteed zucchini, tomato, onion and corn for<br />
$2.25 when ordered in a taco. Keep in mind that if<br />
you make it on a Tuesday, they offer “Street Taco<br />
Tuesday,” offering tacos for — you guessed it — a<br />
whopping $1.<br />
Second best to the potato taco was the shrimp<br />
taco ($3), offered with a choice of hard shell or soft<br />
tortilla. Sauteed with onions and tomato, the shrimp<br />
is topped with lettuce and a slice of avocado, which<br />
was a nice touch.<br />
The asada burrito ($9) contains beans, rice,<br />
onion, cilantro, and is served with a small side of<br />
chips and pico de gallo. While not the most special<br />
item on the menu, the meat had good flavor and<br />
did the job for your standard burrito. To share, try<br />
the nacho fries with chicken ($6.50), of which the<br />
highlight is the chicken itself. The nachos come with<br />
any choice of meat or veggie mix and beans, sour<br />
cream, jack cheese, queso fresco, and pico de gallo.<br />
A scoop of guacamole would take them over the top,<br />
but they’re delicious nonetheless. Spanglish Kitchen<br />
offers red, green and habanero salsa in addition to<br />
the pico de gallo, which is great for those like me<br />
who aren’t sure how much spice they can handle.<br />
Order one of the aguas frescas made in house<br />
for $3 to enjoy with your meal and you’ll thank me<br />
later. The watermelon flavor tastes as if biting into<br />
a chilled slice of watermelon, and on a hot day in<br />
Southern California is there anything better? Other<br />
flavors include pineapple, melon and all-time crowd<br />
favorite, horchata. I’d be remiss not to recommend<br />
the sopes with chicken ($4.25), which had everything<br />
working in its favor. The thick, fried tortilla was not<br />
too tough and had pinto beans, cabbage, sour cream<br />
and queso fresco. Enough ingredients for amazing<br />
taste, but not too overloaded to prevent picking it up<br />
to bite into it, which is key.<br />
If you’re in the mood for breakfast, they serve a<br />
few options all day, including chilaquiles ($7-$9),<br />
chorizo and eggs ($8), and huevos rancheros ($8).<br />
Breakfast burritos are served until noon, and pozole<br />
($12) is served on weekends.<br />
To cap off our dining experience we noticed they<br />
serve homemade flan. I couldn’t resist. Growing up<br />
with aunts who make the best flan for every family<br />
party, I was surprised that Spanglish Kitchen won<br />
me over instantly with their creamy take on a classic<br />
dessert. It took me back to my childhood, to say the<br />
least.<br />
When we arrived around 8 p.m. there were only a<br />
few other groups dining so the food was ready rather<br />
quickly. Working the register was Prado himself,<br />
who grew up in the restaurant business and knew he<br />
wanted to bring real Mexican food with good quality<br />
to the area. In the two years it’s been open, Spanglish<br />
Kitchen has done just that and more. Offering a<br />
wide variety of choices and unique flavors in classic<br />
dishes, there is something for everyone to enjoy.<br />
Once you spot it, it’s hard to miss and the outdoor<br />
seating is perfect for summer nights. Even if you’re<br />
not really hungry, just driving past Spanglish Kitchen<br />
will spark a casual craving in anyone.<br />

Tournament of Roses announces applications now available for 2019 Royal Court<br />
Applications for the 2019 Tournament of Roses Royal Court are now available<br />

experience many benefits, including opportunities for handson<br />
volunteerism, connecting with and giving back to the local<br />
community, developing public speaking skills, and growing<br />
self-confidence.<br />
The 2019 Royal Court will attend nearly 100 community and<br />
media functions, serving as ambassadors of the Tournament of<br />
Roses, the Pasadena community, and the greater Los Angeles<br />
area. The grand finale for the Royal Court will be riding on the Royal Court<br />
float in the 130th Rose Parade and attending the 105th Rose Bowl Game, both<br />
on Jan. 1.<br />
All are encouraged to apply and participate in one of the initial interview<br />
sessions at Tournament House on Sept. 8 or Sept. 10. Participants are selected<br />
based upon a combination of qualities, including public speaking ability, youth<br />
leadership, academic achievement, and community and school involvement.<br />
All individuals who participate in the initial interview sessions will receive<br />
a ticket for two people to attend the Royal Ball, a semi-formal dance hosted by<br />
the Tournament of Roses at the Pasadena Convention Center on September 14.<br />
The Royal Court application, eligibility requirements, and additional<br />
information can be found at tournamentofroses.com.<br />
LIFELONG LEARNING<br />
Pasadena Senior Center offers several ways to learn in August<br />
The Pasadena Senior Center continues to offer a broad array of<br />
classes and discussion groups throughout the month of August.<br />
Admission is free and anyone over age 50 is welcome to attend<br />
the events at the center, located at 85 E. Holly St.<br />
Learn the differences between brand-name drugs and their<br />
generic equivalents, whether it is worth paying the difference<br />
between the two and how our bodies react to each at 10 a.m.<br />
today during the “Prescription Drugs: Generics vs. Brand<br />
Names” talk.<br />
Dr. Dr. Ted Marriott, David Liu and Harvey Slater will offer a talk on<br />
“Wellness Care for Seniors Using Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Nutrition”<br />
at 10 a.m. Aug. 16. They will teach about the popular Activator Methods<br />
Technique that uses a Medicare-approved instrument to apply gentle, low-force<br />
chiropractic adjustments to the body, as well as about acupuncture and holistic<br />
nutrition.<br />
SUMMER SCHOOL<br />
Local fi lmmaker hosts free screening of dream-project documentary on desegregation at<br />
John Muir High<br />
Local filmmaker Pablo Miralles will discuss and screen portions of his<br />
dream project, the documentary “Can We All Get Along? The<br />
Segregation of John Muir High School,” at 6 p.m. Wednesday<br />
at the Donald R. Wright Auditorium of the Pasadena Central<br />
Library, located at 285 E. Walnut Street. Admission is free.<br />
The film explores the history of desegregation at Muir,<br />
highlighting the stories of parents, teachers, administrators<br />
and students from the 1950s all the way to the mid-1980s, when<br />
the full effects of Proposition 13, which limited property taxes,<br />
decimated local schools. During that time period, Muir’s student body became<br />
less integrated as wealthier white families fled the district.<br />
Miralles said he used the famous Rodney King quote from the 1992 LA Riots<br />
because King was also a John Muir High School student, who grew up in the<br />
same West Altadena neighborhood as Miralles. John Muir High moved to the<br />
forefront of racial discussions in 1963, when La Cañada Flintridge opened its<br />
own high school after African-American families began moving into Northwest<br />
Pasadena.<br />
White families pulled 800 children from the district and placed them in La<br />
Cañada High School, spurring decades of further complications.<br />

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER<br />
THE<br />
‘PERFECT’<br />
MATE<br />
USING AN EX AS<br />
THE STANDARD FOR<br />
A NEW PARTNER<br />
COULD LEAD TO<br />
PROBLEMS<br />
Dear Patti,<br />
I feel so much tension. I don’t think I can go to one more wedding this summer. It’s<br />
hard enough watching yet another happy couple promising to stay together forever<br />
but it seems like I’m the only person in attendance who is single. I know it’s not really<br />
true, but I feel like people are staring at me and wondering what’s wrong that I’m there<br />
by myself.<br />
My boyfriend (Danny) and I broke up two years ago and he has already married<br />
(even though he said he would never get married.). I’ve tried to take the advice of<br />
friends and put myself out there in the dating pool, but every guy I meet just doesn’t<br />
measure up in looks, personality, intelligence or financially like my ex. I thought after<br />
two years I’d be over him, but I’m not. How much longer do I have to wait before I feel<br />
that kind of spark again with the opposite sex?<br />
— Cathie<br />
Dear Cathie,<br />
There’s no specific timeline for moving on when it comes to the issue of grieving. Grieving<br />
takes different forms depending on the intensity of the relationship. It’s important that<br />
you allow the passage of enough time to reclaim your own self as an individual before you<br />
rush into a commitment with someone else just to keep from being alone or lonely.<br />
What sensations come forth when you think about your ex? If there’s a heaviness in your<br />
chest, unspent tears, stomach cramps, muscle tension, a lump in your throat, etc., it’s likely<br />
that your healing process is not yet complete. Being able to talk to someone about these<br />
emotions is a good start, especially if that person holds a position of neutrality. Professional<br />
counseling, for instance, will allow you to explore your true feelings in a safe environment,<br />
examine whether there are lingering patterns from past relationships (including childhood),<br />
and how to love and nurture yourself when you experience self-doubts about your desirability.<br />
Let’s look at a few other considerations.<br />
Do you have difficulty letting men slip under your defenses and get close to you? When<br />
someone has anxieties about intimacy, s/he will often keep potential mates at bay. If that<br />
person does manage to get close (i.e., a friendship that transitions into romance), it then<br />
becomes a devastating loss if it doesn’t work out. This can sometimes lead to building even<br />
higher, thicker walls around one’s heart and soul so as not to get hurt again. And while it’s<br />
easy to romanticize the past relationship and even idolize a lover who is no longer in the<br />
picture, it makes it that much harder for anyone new to compete for your affection.<br />
Are you now looking at every potential relationship with a critical mindset, perhaps even<br />
harboring a sense of anger against the male population in general? If so, you’d be likely to<br />
even find fault with your ex if he returned to your life. On the one hand, you don’t want to always<br />
be the single girl at everyone else’s beautiful wedding, yet on the other an unconscious<br />
hostility toward the opposite sex might be preventing you from forming new attachments. If<br />
you think this may be true, I recommend psychotherapy where you can process these buried<br />
resentments and explore your ambivalence.<br />
Since mate selection is one of life’s most important decisions, think about what qualities<br />
Danny had that you feel are essential. Exposure to a wide variety of men may lead you<br />
to the realization that limiting yourself to a “type” (i.e., a Danny clone) is keeping you from<br />
discovering wonderful attributes and insights that others have to offer.<br />
Lastly, it concerns me that you’re equating your psychological well-being with “waiting”<br />
to feel whole again. If you’re telling yourself that nothing will be right or meaningful until<br />
you find the right man, it’s diminishing the freedom of choice you have at this very moment<br />
to make a difference in your own life. Allow a rebirth of energy and optimism to pursue the<br />
things you’ve always wanted to do and that bring you joy — with or without a partner to<br />
share them. n<br />

FROM LEMONS<br />

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI<br />
Greg Sestero might be one of the best real-life examples of<br />
someone who put the adage “if life gives you lemons, make<br />
lemonade” into practice. The longtime South Pasadena<br />
resident was a struggling actor in 2002 when he was cast by his eccentric<br />
fellow acting course classmate Tommy Wiseau to co-star<br />
in an independent film called “The Room.”<br />
What seemed like a decent career break turned into one of the<br />
strangest experiences of his life, resulting in a movie that is widely<br />
regarded as one of the worst movies of all time. Yet rather than<br />

slipping through the cracks, “The Room” became a worldwide cult<br />
sensation, leading Sestero into an even more unexpected career<br />
direction when he was signed to write the memoir “The Disaster<br />
Artist” about the making of the film.<br />
Co-authored with veteran journalist Tom Bissell, that 2013<br />
tome became a critically acclaimed national bestseller, inspiring a<br />
film of its own. The resulting movie earned its director/star James<br />
Franco a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor-Comedy or Musical<br />
and nominations for his direction as well as for Best Picture,<br />

Greg Sestero<br />
FROM LEMONS TO LEMONADE<br />
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21<br />
and an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted<br />
Screenplay.<br />
The resulting awards-season party<br />
circuit proved to be the most unexpected<br />
and memorable time of his life. Sestero will<br />
discuss his wild ride at 7 p.m. Friday when<br />
he sits down for a Q&A with this writer<br />
following a screening of “The Disaster Artist”<br />
at the South Pasadena Public Library’s<br />
Community Room, 1115 El Centro St., South<br />
Pasadena.<br />
“It was interesting for me because I<br />
didn’t expect anything from ‘The Room’ to<br />
happen and didn’t expect anyone to see it,”<br />
says Sestero. “When people started seeing<br />
it, I was curious to see if people saw the<br />
same things in Tony that I saw when I first<br />
met him. I didn’t put passion or money<br />
into the movie, I was just there observing<br />
everything.<br />
I never took it personally because it<br />
wasn’t my movie, but I knew the story<br />
behind the making was one of the most<br />
insane stories I’d ever heard, Hollywood or<br />
not,” he continues. “And I thought that story<br />
could make its own great movie, if told<br />
and approached properly. That became my<br />
goal — instead of trying to use ‘The Room’<br />
to make it as an actor, I realized ‘You’re<br />
gonna have to take steps outside of that,<br />
explain who you are and what this was all<br />
about.’ Ultimately, what a great turnaround:<br />
making a great movie about the experience<br />
of making what’s called one of the worst<br />
movies ever made.”<br />
The seemingly simple yet laughably convoluted<br />
story of a man who discovers that<br />
the love of his life is cheating on him with<br />
his best friend and the tragic consequences<br />
that ensue, “The Room” was intended to be<br />
a passionately serious showcase for the acting,<br />
writing and directing skills of Wiseau.<br />
A mysterious figure who has never publicly<br />
stated what country he’s from, Wiseau has<br />
an almost impenetrable accent that helped<br />
fuel derision from audience members<br />
straining to understand anything he said.<br />
Wiseau also became notorious for claiming<br />
to spend $6 million on the making of<br />
the threadbare-looking movie. Yet he had<br />
the last laugh when he embraced rather<br />
than hid from the explosive laughter the<br />
film received at early screenings, and in the<br />
great tradition of showman P.T. Barnum, he<br />
turned the “The Room” into an audienceinteractive,<br />
midnight-movie sensation that<br />
continues to be a hit in more than 25 cities<br />
worldwide.<br />
“My initial reaction to ‘The Room’ script<br />
was amazement, and I’ve done readings at<br />
public events and every line gets a laugh,”<br />
says Sestero, who wrote the script for<br />
a movie called “Best F(r)iends” that he<br />
starred in with Wiseau and was released<br />
in June. “All you have to do is read it aloud<br />
with people and it delivers huge laughs in<br />
special ways. How Tommy views the world<br />
and human interaction lends itself to a lot<br />
of comedy.”<br />
Coming through the other side of all<br />
the insanity of “The Room” to mingle with<br />
Hollywood superstars such as Tom Hanks,<br />
Oprah Winfrey and Sharon Stone at Oscarseason<br />
parties for “The Disaster Artist”<br />
proved to be another form of vindication.<br />
“It’s not something I ever expected, but<br />
it was incredibly rewarding to finally create<br />
something that made it there,” says Sestero.<br />
“It shows you can never stop creating. One<br />
day you can make something considered<br />
terrible, the next day it’s great. Never get<br />
too high, too low, just hope to keep making<br />
things. I think in some ways people admired<br />
his making his own film and keeping it alive<br />
15 years.<br />
“‘The Room’ is still here and at some<br />
point you have to call it a success,” he<br />
concludes. “My family was shocked. I think<br />
they were as dumbfounded as anyone that<br />
this worked on some level.” n<br />

a screening of the film at 7 p.m. Friday at the South<br />

BADASS. That might as well<br />
be enshrined in quotes<br />
between “Buddy” and “Guy,”<br />
a la Bobby “Blue” Bland’s defining<br />
nickname. The Chicago legend’s<br />
revered by guitarists as much for<br />
his enduring tenacity as for his<br />
virile, searing tone. He never projected<br />
the earthy majesty of Muddy<br />
Waters or the hypnotic mojo of<br />
John Lee Hooker, and his onstage<br />
flash contrasted sharply with the<br />
tasteful restraint of B.B. King (an<br />
early influence). But rock icons<br />
Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Keith<br />
Richards and Stevie Ray Vaughan<br />
all bowed at the altar of Guy’s<br />
swagger and fearless style.<br />
No doubt flattered but also<br />
business-savvy, Guy encouraged<br />
those connections with the rock<br />
world — and its larger audiences.<br />
In his early years, after migrating<br />
from his native Louisiana<br />
to Chicago in 1957, Guy ran with<br />
the supportive likes of Willie<br />
Dixon, Freddie King, Otis Rush<br />
and Magic Sam. Despite recording<br />
for the venerable Chess<br />
Records, solo success proved<br />
elusive, so he played sessions for<br />
Koko Taylor and Howlin’ Wolf,<br />
and provided the fierce guitar<br />
spark to Junior Wells’ charismatic<br />
vocal and harmonica presence<br />
on 1965’s landmark “Hoodoo Man<br />
Blues.” Clapton, Jimi Hendrix<br />
and Jimmy Page publicly sang the<br />
praises of Guy’s albums for Chess<br />
and Vanguard — Clapton even<br />
co-produced 1972’s “Buddy Guy<br />
& Junior Wells Play the Blues,”<br />
and guested, along with Beck<br />
and Mark Knopfler, on 1991’s<br />
statement-making “Damn Right,<br />
I’ve Got the Blues” (a title Guy<br />
repurposed for his 1999 autobiography).<br />
Not until then did Guy<br />
finally experience the career<br />
breakthrough that had long been<br />
predicted for him.<br />
His studio recordings have<br />
received more mainstream attention<br />
since then, while a steady<br />
stream of compilations (especially<br />
the 2006 box set “Can’t Quit the<br />
Blues”) have introduced newcomers<br />
to his back catalogue. Most<br />
importantly, Guy, who marked<br />
his 82nd birthday on July 30, has<br />
retained his musical potency. His<br />
recently released “The Blues is<br />
Alive and Well” is a 15-track celebration<br />
with a starry guest list:<br />
Beck, Richards, James Bay, and a<br />
harmonica-blowing Mick Jagger<br />
all show up to pay their respects.<br />
In those collective hands, the<br />
album’s title speaks truth.<br />
“The last man standing on a<br />
empty stage/ If life was the book<br />
I’d be the last page,” Guy moans<br />
over defiant guitar lines during<br />
“End of the Line.” “Even though I<br />
got one foot in the grave/ I won’t<br />
be quiet and I won’t behave,<br />
no.” Swampy stomper “Whiskey<br />
for Sale” and “Cognac,” a greasy<br />
exchange of solos with Beck and<br />
Richards, both demonstrate that<br />
age has not extinguished Guy’s<br />
taste for mischief — nor his<br />
ability to outshine his acolytes<br />
with still muscular fretwork and<br />
vocals. Unlike many such releases<br />
by elder musical statesmen, Guy<br />
doesn’t need celebrity supporters<br />
to prop him up. He’s still showing<br />
them how it’s done. n<br />

DELGADO BROTHERS RELEASE NEW CD<br />
AT THE LANGHAM<br />
For some great Latin blues, check out the Langham Huntington, Pasadena<br />
Saturday night as the Delgado Brothers perform at a release party for their new<br />
CD, “Two Trains.”<br />
The band — three brothers and a friend — have been an LA fixture for more<br />
than 30 years now. The band delivers a sound that’s driven by a fiercely independent<br />
attitude, call-to-action lyrics and unified by a strong sense of family and a good dose<br />
of East LA soul.<br />
The group has succeeded by using their music to speak to the “every man”<br />
sensibilities of life, including love, loss and triumph, cutting across racial and socioeconomic<br />
lines. It’s based on life experience that’s relatable to nearly everyone. Each<br />
member brings to the musical table a unique style of musicianship that has helped<br />
make the band a worldwide phenomenon.<br />
Check them out at delgadobrothers.com. — John Sollenberger<br />

PAUL CAUTHEN, Have Mercy<br />
(Lightning Rod): HHH<br />
The burly-voiced Texan opens with “Everybody<br />
Walkin’ This Land,” a hear-me-now decree of<br />
rumbling righteousness that evokes American<br />
Recordings-era Johnny Cash (“All you racists,<br />
fascists, nihilists and bigots/ I’m calling you out<br />
my friend/ I’ve felt your hurt, drink your fear/ Your<br />
actions will not stand”). If 2016’s buzz-generating<br />
“My Gospel” set him up as a modern-day country<br />
outlaw, these seven tracks solidify his disinclination<br />
toward stepping into anyone’s shoes but his own<br />
even while walking in the shadows of Waylon (the<br />
title track) and the Highwaymen (“Tumbleweed”).<br />

TONY MOLINA, Kill the Lights<br />
(Slumberland): HHHH<br />
The initial thought that springs to mind while<br />
listening to these 10 tasty morsels is how deftly the<br />
onetime hardcore punker absorbed and synthesized<br />
classic pop influences like the Byrds and Simon<br />
& Garfunkel. Then, casual curiosity: Did he study<br />
18th-century mini-portraiture? Molina works with<br />
melody rather than paints, but there’s similar<br />
delicacy in how he employs harmony as shadow<br />
and frame within self-imposed time constraints<br />
(only two tracks stretch past two minutes —<br />
barely). Seguing from Beatles-esque innocence<br />
to baroque resignation in 1:15 (“Now That She’s<br />
Gone”); voicing romantic angst’s timelessness<br />
over chiming guitars in 1:11 (“Nothing I Can Say”)<br />
— what views might he construct on broader<br />
canvases? tonymolina650.bandcamp.com<br />
YVETTE LANDRY & THE JUKES,<br />
Louisiana Lovin’ (Soko): HHHH<br />
An understated, lovingly arranged cocktail of<br />
midcentury-style R&B and country stirred with<br />
Cajun zest from southwestern Louisiana. Eric<br />
Adcock’s piano notes sparkle, Derek Huston’s lusty<br />
saxophone recalls dance-floor intimacy, and the<br />
vocal chemistry and tonal warmth shared by Landry<br />
and duet partner Roddie Romero illuminates the<br />
enduring craft of country and swamp-pop classics<br />
like Floyd Cramer’s “My Last Date With You,” Ivory<br />
Joe Hunter’s “I Almost Lost My Mind” and R.C.<br />
Guidry’s “Homesick Blues.” Worth seeking out.<br />

‘Lost’ and Found<br />
WRITER LESLIE SCHWARTZ RECOUNTS HER HARROWING<br />
DUI INCARCERATION IN ‘THE LOST CHAPTERS’<br />
Leslie Schwartz was a successful writer<br />
and novelist who had managed to maintain<br />
sobriety from alcohol for over a<br />
decade before falling back into 414 days<br />
of self-described “blackout drinking.” It<br />
was only after she was arrested for DUI<br />
and battery of an officer in 2014 that she<br />
managed to get sober again, only to find<br />
herself immersed in the harrowing experience<br />
of spending 37 days incarcerated<br />
in the brutal confines of the Los Angeles<br />
County Century Women’s Regional<br />
Center in Lynwood.<br />
While inside the jail, Schwartz witnessed<br />
all manner of abusive behavior<br />
by guards and learned the stories of<br />
many impoverished women of color<br />
who were trapped in Lyndwood for<br />
longer sentences despite sometimes<br />
having committed lesser offenses.<br />
Through it all, Schwartz maintained her<br />
sanity and spirits by reading an assortment<br />
of books that gave her a renewed<br />
appreciation for the power of writing.<br />
She is appearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday<br />
at Vroman’s Bookstore to discuss (with<br />
Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Ministries)<br />
and sign her memoir, “The Lost<br />
Chapters: Finding Recovery & Renewal<br />
One Book at a Time.”<br />
“I don’t give jail, the LAPD, or other<br />
law enforcement any credit for stopping<br />
my relapse,” says Schwartz. “I<br />
BY CARL KOZLOWSKI<br />
give credit to my family support system<br />
and the spiritual connection I was able<br />
to make with stopping. The jail made<br />
my life worse, but the experience I had<br />
inside was of a spiritual nature for me.<br />
It had to do with the books I read and<br />
other inmates that I met, vis a vis the<br />
books I read. It was a literary enlightenment,<br />
and the rest of change came by<br />
getting to know other inmates.”<br />
Schwartz offers plenty of detailed<br />
criticism about how the female inmates<br />
are treated at Lynwood, noting that she<br />
saw guards having sex with inmates in<br />
exchange for giving the prisoners illicit<br />
drugs. The three-day intake process<br />
is “harrowing,” and she notes that the<br />
entire experience is nothing like the way<br />
women’s prisons are portrayed in the<br />
Netflix series “Orange Is the New Black.”<br />
“That show causes huge misconceptions<br />
of jail, because jail is hell,<br />
you don’t get to dance, and the girls<br />
aren’t off having sex everywhere,”<br />
says Schwartz. “There’s no freedom of<br />
movement, you’re always under guard<br />
and watch. There’s nothing for abuse<br />
of drugs or alcoholism, no 12-step<br />
meetings, even though 90 percent of<br />
everybody in that place was on drugs<br />
and alcohol but nobody talks about it.<br />
There was a life skills class I was in. I<br />
don’t know what it was about, but we<br />
talked about our vaginas a lot.”<br />
Schwartz notes that black and<br />
brown women are disproportionately<br />
incarcerated, with people of color more<br />
likely to have jail sentences by a margin<br />
of 2 to 1, and for lesser crimes. She<br />
believes that many inmates are addicts<br />
or mentally ill, and could be productive<br />
members of society if helped with their<br />
issues.<br />
“I recently connected with a<br />
woman in Denver who runs a group<br />
called Books Beyond Bars and we’re<br />
talking about me bringing books and<br />
book groups to inmates in Lynwood,”<br />
says Schwartz, who taught writing for<br />
several years at Homeboy Industries.<br />
“The other thing is that my book is an<br />
homage to literature. I just lament the<br />
fact that we don’t read anymore in our<br />
culture. I really did come from a loving<br />
place, and it’s not a diatribe against<br />
the system. It’s a love story toward<br />
literature. Hopefully it’ll inspire people<br />
to pick up a book as well as care more<br />
about prisoners.” n<br />
Leslie Schwartz will discuss and sign her<br />
memoir, “The Lost Chapters: Finding Recovery<br />
& Renewal One Book at a Time” at 7 p.m.<br />

Stranger than Fiction<br />
SPIKE LEE PRESENTS HIS BEST FILM OF THE 2000S WITH THE AUDACIOUS NEW<br />
TRUE-LIFE TALE "BLACKKKLANSMAN"<br />
There are few filmmakers in America more associated with<br />
tackling racial issues than Spike Lee, the African-American<br />
writer-director who exploded onto the national consciousness<br />
nearly 30 years ago with 1989's incendiary classic “Do the<br />
Right Thing.” That tale of a riot breaking out in Brooklyn on the<br />
hottest day of the year presented a truly daring cinematic vision<br />
that grew over the next couple of decades to include the biopic<br />
“Malcolm X,” interracial romance in “Jungle Fever,” the Million<br />
Man March in “Get on the Bus” and the rampant violence in innercity<br />
Chicago with “Chi-Raq.”<br />
Yet aside from the blockbuster heist thriller “Inside Man” in 2006,<br />
Lee had nearly lost his relevance with bomb after bomb throughout<br />
the 2000s. But he's come roaring back in a big way with his latest film,<br />
“BlacKkKlansman,” which won the top prize at this year's Cannes<br />
Film Festival and arrives this weekend with a great deal of buzz for its<br />
audacious trailers mixing outrageous comedy, cop-thriller elements<br />
and powerful emotional moments. It is easily his best film of this<br />
century.<br />
The film follows the incredible true-life story of Ron Stallworth<br />
(John David Washington), an African American who became the<br />
first African-American police officer in Colorado Springs, Colorado.<br />
Stallworth got the job because of the city's effort to finally welcome a<br />
black officer, but the ambitious rookie quickly grew tired of his initial<br />
assignment working the overnight shift in the criminal records room.<br />
The police chief orders him to infiltrate a speech by former Black<br />
Panther Hoagy Carmichael at the Black Student Union of a local college<br />
and report on the response and plans of the young black activists<br />
in attendance. But after meeting an attractive leader named Patrice<br />
(Laura Harrier), he realizes that his gift for undercover work should<br />
be put to better use by bringing down the dangerous local chapter of<br />
the Ku Klux Klan.<br />
Teaming up with a Jewish cop named Flip Zimmerman (Adam<br />
Driver), Stallworth activates a crazy plan in which he will infiltrate<br />
the local KKK. The idea is for Ron to handle all the conversations possible<br />
by phone, while sending in Flip to pretend to be him whenever<br />
an in-person meeting is required.<br />
While that situation is already rife with danger, things come<br />
to a boil as the national Klan leader David Duke (Topher Grace)<br />
comes to town at the same time the Black Student Union is hosting<br />
a legendary black activist. Ron and Flip have to figure out how to<br />
uncover a dangerous bombing plot at the same time they're trying to<br />
keep their cover and maintain their own private sanity and sense of<br />
identity.<br />
“BlacKkKlansman” is 135 minutes long, yet stuffed to the limit<br />
with audacious plot points, stunning dialogue and vivid performances.<br />
Washington — the son of Denzel — knocks his first lead role out of<br />
the park, combining swaggering attitude with hilarious comic chops<br />
and occasionally searing emotion to create an indelibly memorable<br />
character out of Stallworth. Just like the film itself, he has to be considered<br />
an instant frontrunner for an Oscar nomination.<br />
He's matched note for note by Driver as Zimmerman, a man who<br />
finds himself in greater danger than Stallworth even though this is<br />
Stallworth's crusade. Driver walks an electrifying tightrope with<br />
his performance, as he alternates contempt for the ignorant bigots<br />
around him with a need to spew even more venom than they do to<br />
maintain his cover and very survival.<br />
Somehow, Lee and his team of three other screenwriters manage<br />
to make the most outrageously offensive slurs imaginable work<br />
in both dramatic and darkly comedic fashion while connecting the<br />
ugliness of 1970s American attitudes to the tragic events in Charlottesville,<br />
Virginia just a year ago.<br />
Layered over it all is Terence Blanchard's lush score, providing<br />
both propulsion and beauty to the proceedings onscreen and bringing<br />
it all to greater life. While working with an unusually potent screenplay,<br />
Lee also reins in his frequently self-indulgent visual techniques<br />
to keep the film focused and moving forward like a freight train<br />
through its often surreal events.<br />
A film that engages the mind and enrages the spirit while often<br />
provoking gales of laughter, “BlacKkKlansman” is can't-miss viewing<br />
for adults looking for both fun and substance in the dog days of summer.<br />
n<br />
“BLACKKKLANSMAN”: A<br />
EIGHTH GRADE<br />
Stars: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton<br />
Length: 93 minutes<br />
Directed by: Bo Burnham<br />
Rating: R<br />
This intensely intimate dramedy sees life from<br />
the eyes and mind of an awkward girl enduring<br />
the travails of her last week in eighth grade. Elsie<br />
Fisher pulls off a performance for the ages and<br />
deserves an Oscar nomination as a girl fending<br />
off creepy boys, learning to be more loving to<br />
her single dad, and standing up for herself.<br />
Writer-director Bo Burnham has accomplished a<br />
masterpiece in his debut effort. Grade: A<br />
BLINDSPOTTING<br />
Stars: Daveed Diggs, Rafael Casal<br />
Length: 95 minutes<br />
Directed by: Carlos Lopez Estrada<br />
Rating: R<br />
A fresh take on what black and white<br />
friendships among the young and economically<br />
disenfranchised in the hardscrabble streets<br />
of Oakland, this film took nine years to make<br />
and was worth the wait. Diggs and Casal also<br />
co-wrote the tale of a young African-American<br />
man trying to get through his last three days of<br />
parole while dealing with his hotheaded best<br />
friend, who's white but acts like a stereotypical<br />
black gangster. Add in the tension of dealing with<br />
seeing a cop shoot a fellow black man unfairly,<br />
and this often funny slice of life boils over into an<br />
incredible and unpredictable ending. Grade: A<br />
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE:<br />
FALLOUT<br />
Stars: Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Michelle<br />
Monaghan<br />
Length: 147 minutes<br />
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie<br />
Rating: PG-13<br />
Tom Cruise raises the bar on action movies by<br />
miles, in a film that's packed with non-stop<br />
action and in which he HALO skydives, flies a<br />
helicopter on a chase through mountain passes,<br />
speeds a motorcycle through the streets of Paris<br />
and much more while trying to keep plutonium<br />
out of the hands of a ruthless band of terrorists.<br />
Defying a world in which every action movie<br />
is rooted in CGI, this film's old-school dazzling<br />
showmanship must be seen on as big a screen<br />
as possible. Grade: A<br />
EQUALIZER 2<br />
Stars: Denzel Washington, Ashton Sanders,<br />
Melissa Leo<br />
Length: 121 minutes<br />
Directed by: Antoine Fuqua<br />
Rating: R<br />
Denzel Washington's first sequel ever finds him<br />
returning in the role of former CIA operative<br />
Robert McCall, who promised his late wife he'd<br />
quit the agency, yet can't stop using his unique<br />
intelligence-gathering and fighting skills to help<br />
others. Both "Equalizer" films are unusually<br />
thoughtful for action movies, as Washtington<br />
seeks out troubled souls to help including a<br />
young African--American man at a crossroads.<br />
The film has great action but is marred by weak<br />
villains and plot holes. Entertaining, but it could<br />
have been better. Grade:B<br />

you should understand that there<br />
are risks involved in bidding at a<br />
trustee auction. You will be bidding<br />
on a lien, not on the property itself.<br />
Placing the highest bid at a trustee<br />
auction does not automatically entitle<br />
you to free and clear ownership<br />
of the property. You should also be<br />
aware that the lien being auctioned<br />
off may be a junior lien. If you are<br />
the highest bidder at the auction,<br />
you are or may be responsible for<br />
paying off all liens senior to the lien<br />
being auctioned off, before you can<br />
receive clear title to the property.<br />
You are encouraged to investigate<br />
the existence, priority, and size of<br />
outstanding liens that may exist<br />
on this property by contacting the<br />
county recorder’s offi ce or a title<br />
insurance company, either of which<br />
may charge you a fee for this information.<br />
If you consult either of these<br />
resources, you should be aware that<br />
the same lender may hold more than<br />
one mortgage or deed of trust on the<br />

this notice of sale may be postponed<br />
one or more times by the mortgagee,<br />
benefi ciary, trustee, or a court,<br />

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are<br />
considering bidding on this property<br />
lien, you should understand that<br />
there are risks involved in bidding at<br />
a trustee auction. You will be bidding<br />
on a lien, not on the property itself.<br />
Placing the highest bid at a trustee<br />
auction does not automatically entitle<br />
you to free and clear ownership<br />
of the property. You should also be<br />
aware that the lien being auctioned<br />
off may be a junior lien. If you are<br />
the highest bidder at the auction,<br />
you are or may be responsible for<br />
paying off all liens senior to the lien<br />
being auctioned off, before you can<br />
receive clear title to the property.<br />
You are encouraged to investigate<br />
the existence, priority, and size of<br />
outstanding liens that may exist<br />
on this property by contacting the<br />
county recorder’s offi ce or a title<br />
insurance company, either of which<br />
may charge you a fee for this information.<br />
If you consult either of these<br />
resources, you should be aware that<br />
the same lender may hold more than<br />
one mortgage or deed of trust on the<br />
property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY<br />
