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 />

BY MARK BAER<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 />

Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-South Los Angeles), Kevin<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 />

advocacy to support Portantino<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 />

hospital for treatment<br />

and a probe was<br />

opened into the attack.<br />

7<br />

people were injured in a failed<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 />

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 />

ROYAL OPPORTUNITY<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 />

on the Tournament of Roses website. Royal Court members<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 />

•ADVICE•<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 />

Greg Sestero discusses “The Disaster Artist” after<br />

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

Pasadena Public Library Community Room, 1115 El<br />

Centro St., South Pasadena. Admission is free. Call<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 />

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 />

The burly-voiced Texan opens with “Everybody<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 />

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 />
