California has a huge

Recently, news broke that
California police killed 172
civilians in 2017 alone.
Right now, we have a rare

California’s Senate that would
help stop unjust police killings
and protect officers in a big
way. But it won’t pass without
a huge showing of public

standard for when police are allowed to use lethal force

that sounds, our legislators need to see that killing people

Confused? Does President Trump believe our intelligence

or not?
It’s kind of like Melania’s jacket when she was sent to
immigrant centers to do “damage control” after the cruel
separation of children from their asylum-seeking parents: in

DIET CHANGE NEEDED
With scorching heat and
raging wildfires in the West
and torrential downpours
and massive flooding in
the East, global warming is
not just about a gentle sea
rise anymore. These tragic
consequences of dumping
greenhouse gases into our
atmosphere call for drastic
remedies.
For starters, we should
rejoin the Paris Climate
Accords and actually become
a world leader in reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
One of the most effective
ways is by changing our diet.
Yes, that. Last fall Oxford
University’s prestigious Food
Climate Research Network
concluded that solving the
global warming catastrophe
requires a massive shift
to a plant-based diet. A
2010 United Nations report
blamed animal agriculture
for 19 percent of greenhouse
gas emissions, 70 percent
of freshwater use, and 38
percent of land use.
Carbon dioxide is emitted
by burning forests to create
animal pastures and by
transporting animals.
The more damaging
methane and nitrous oxide
are released from digestive
tracts of cattle and from
animal waste cesspools,
respectively.
In an environmentally
sustainable world, we must
replace meat and dairy
products in our diet by
vegetables, fruits and grains,
just as we replace fossil fuels
by wind, solar and other
pollution-free energy sources.
Let’s start with our next
supermarket visit.
~ PATRICK LAWSON
PASADENA
TIME HAS COME
It is sometimes said that
the wealthy of the Earth,
whose own carelessness
has brought about global
warming, must necessarily
be afflicted themselves by its
effects before they consent
to reduce it.
To many of us in Southern
California, that time has
come. When every month is
hotter than its namesake of
last year; when our gardens,
farms and orchards wilt, and
we cannot spare the water
to revive them; when crops
run short in the market;
when we can scarcely take
a dog for a walk for fear of
overheating it (and ourselves);
when we cannot go hiking,
take a bicycle or even “beat
the heat” at the beach or the
swimming pool for fear of
sunstroke while in route,
the time has indeed come
to draw down pollution
from the atmosphere, install
solar panels on every roof
and replace all internalcombustion
engines with
electric motors.

SOCIAL
RECONSTRUCTION
TAKING THE LONG VIEW ON FIVE DECADES AS AN ACTIVIST
For my 16th birthday I feasted upon Robin Morgan’s groundbreaking book
and feminist clarion call, “Sisterhood is Powerful.” As I hit the last page,
my life’s journey was laid out before me: I would be a champion of social
justice and liberation from society’s rigid gender roles.
Since then, I have lost sleep, friends, opportunities and almost my house in
pursuing what to me is the most common sense social justice movement ever
dreamed of: that each person is valued for who they are. Valued as people and
members of their communities, not for their skin shade or whatever plumbing
they’ve got between their legs. Simple right? Notice the lumps on my head? That’s
from banging it on the walls.
I was on the same page as the late, great Florynce Kennedy, an African-
American wit, civil rights lawyer and public intellectual. She said, “There are
very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. All other jobs should be
open to everybody.”
As a teen and then young woman, my preparation for the inevitable and
massive misogynist backlash was laughable. I had no one to comfort me when
I would enthusiastically share with people my new epiphany, “Women and girls
are not naturally inferior — it’s all a social construct!” and in return, receive
verbal punches in the stomach from both women and men.
Women are just as socialized as men to believe women are inferior; ergo,
when you present an alternative, people who you’d think would be on your “side”
aren’t. And to no one’s surprise (or it at least shouldn’t be), women vary in their
views just as much as men do. Shocking, I know!
As I turn 65 this coming weekend, I can say that I would not have lived my life
any differently despite the sacrifices. I know it’s not polite to speak openly about
sacrifice; many women are simply expected to sacrifice. Oh man, my life would
have been so much easier materially if I’d kept my mouth shut about sexism and
racism, including turning down a few wealthy men’s marriage proposals. (Not so
heroic; it helped me to walk away since they were such dicks.) And it would have
been a life that would have made me suffer from a bad conscience. I can’t unsee
what I’ve seen. Nor can I pretend I didn’t read “Sisterhood is Powerful.” And as
great fortune would have it, two Justice Hurricanes — Gloria Steinem and Flo
Kennedy — blew through Billings, Montana during my freshman year in college
there, and I was a goner! I swore to become someone who Gloria Steinem would
be proud to know.
What I have now, as do many of my social justice siblings, is a long view of my
own life as an activist, and the benefit of scholarship in both gender studies as
well as the politics and sociology of progressive movements.
There have been very few progressive leaps forward that haven’t met with
violent hostility from people who reject change, even at the cost of their own
well-being. Here’s an astounding example: Dr. Joseph Lister, who advocated
that surgeons should wash their hands and instruments as the most effective,
cheapest and simplest way to reduce injury and death by surgery, was
considered a crank by other surgeons. Likewise, my advocacy to teach women
and girls emotional, verbal and physical boundary setting IS the most effective,
cheapest and simplest way to reduce injury and death by violent attackers.
Simple, right? Sorry, no. I have had pushback from lots of people who I expected
to support me. I’m also a crank, which is why I’m frequently cranky!
Amping the Crank Factor, I now have farshtunkena (it’s Yiddish; look it up!)
20-, 30-, 40-somethings who can’t wait to man-and-woman-splain basic feminist
principles to me. I’m inclined to both celebrate and spank them. Leaving out the
European disease part, it’s a tad like the Vikings telling the existing indigenous
inhabitants “We discovered North America!”
No, you silly Vikings, you didn’t discover squat. If you have brains, you’ll stand
on our shoulders and take the exploration even further. ■

COUNCIL CONSIDERS APPROVING DAKAR-PLATEAU IN AFRICA AS PASADENA’S SIXTH SISTER CITY
BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN
Pasadena may form its first sister city relationship with an African
city Monday when the City Council considers adopting
Dakar-Plateau, Senegal, with a population of nearly 37,000,
covering an area of 1.93 square miles, and serving as the political,
financial and commercial center of the country’s capital of greater
Dakar.
While discussions to form a Sister Cities relationship with
an African city have been ongoing for at least 20 years, efforts
ramped up in 2015 when the Sister Cities Committee created a
15-member ad hoc committee on Africa and appointed Boualem
Bousseloub as its chair. Bousseloub is a Pasadena resident who
was born in Algiers and has lived in Paris, Albi, Bruges and
Sacramento.
Pasadena has established five other Sister Cities partnerships,
including with Ludwigshafen, Germany, in 1948; Mishima –
Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, in 1957; Järvenpää, Finland, in 1983;
Vanadzor, Armenia, in 1991; and Xicheng District – Beijing, China,
in 1999.

The idea of partnering cities grew out of the Twin Town
concept in Europe in 1946 following World War II. Ludwigshafen
was selected in 1948 by the Pasadena branch of the American
Friends Service Committee. America’s involvement came in
1956 following President Dwight Eisenhower’s White House
conference on citizen diplomacy, out of which grew Sister Cities
International (SCI). Pasadena formally established its Sister
Cities chapter in 1960.
Traveling to Dakar-Plateau
From March 21 to April 1, Bousseloub led a delegation
composed of four members of the ad hoc committee on
Africa, Pasadena Councilman and Vice Mayor John Kennedy
and Honorary Consul of Senegal in Los Angeles Mame
Toucouleur Mbaye, on a fact-finding mission to Dakar-Plateau.
There they met with community leaders, including the mayor
of Dakar-Plateau and member of the country’s Socialist Party,

PCC PAYS PUSD TO HOST
SATELLITE CAMPUS AT
JOHN MUIR
In a move aimed at bringing
educational services
to underserved residents
and making money for the
cash-strapped Pasadena
Unified School District,
Pasadena City College
officials plan to open a
satellite campus this fall at
John Muir High School in
Northwest Pasadena. Berlinda Brown
PCC Northwest will be
the college’s fourth campus and third satellite
location in Pasadena. It is PCC’s only satellite to
share a campus with students in ninth through
12th grade.
Along with the main campus on Colorado
Boulevard, there are also stand-alone PCC satellite
campuses on Foothill and Rosemead boulevards.
The college will operate full time out of John
Muir’s more than 53,000-square-foot D Building
and offer accredited courses, academic support
and career guidance. A separate agreement between
PCC and PUSD allows college students to
be present in the building and surrounding areas
on Muir’s campus while high school is in session.
In return, PUSD will receive $150,000 a year
for 10 years, with an option for a five-year extension.
PUSD is presently close to financial insolvency,
which has prompted threats of takeover
by the Los Angeles County Office of Education
(LACOE) if immediate steps aren’t taken toward
financial stability.
With state financing predicated on student
average daily attendance, ADA, and the district
steadily losing students, PUSD faces a $3 million
budget shortfall this year and a $12 million deficit
next year. Among money-making options being
looked at by the Board of Education is selling or
trading the district’s Education Center site on
South Hudson Avenue.
The move comes following a survey conducted
for PCC that found most residents agreed
that self-enrichment and training courses could
lead to better jobs.
“I’m so pleased that our college will be offering
quality programs and services to our local
neighborhoods — really, right in our backyard,”
said PCC Trustee Berlinda Brown, whose district
includes Northwest Pasadena. “The value of a college
education is really immeasurable, and it can
impact families and communities for generations
after a student has finished his or her studies.
To make this available to residents of Northwest
Pasadena is truly a dream come true.”

FUGITIVE TASK FORCE SHOOTS
SUSPECT IN PASADENA
BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
A Glendale police officer working as a member of a
multiagency US Marshals fugitive task force wounded
a suspect wanted for armed robbery near Old Pasadena
Tuesday.
Viren Moret
Viren Moret, 31, of Altadena was shot shortly after
5 p.m. on Holly Street near DeLacey Avenue. He was
transported to Huntington Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to
Glendale police Sgt. Dan Suttles.
Moret was booked on suspicion of committing an armed robbery and assaulting
a police officer in connection with Tuesday’s shooting and arrest, Suttles
said.
Details of the robbery were not immediately available. The name of the officer
who shot Moret was not released.
Following a short pursuit on DeLacey Avenue, the suspect’s car was boxed in
by two law enforcement vehicles in front of the parking structure on Holly Street.
Moret was shot after he exited the vehicle, Suttles said.
Despite the gunshot wound, the suspect attempted to escape by running into
the nearby parking structure, said Suttles.
Once on the third floor, Moret convinced a motorist to give him a ride, but that
driver quickly realized something was amiss and exited the vehicle when he saw
police cars in the garage.
Suttles said Moret was unarmed at the time of the shooting.
“He was shot in the upper thigh and he is in stable condition,” said Suttles.
Employees of nearby Parsons Engineering who were leaving work at the time
of the incident rushed back into the building after the shooting.
Pasadena police detectives were dispatched to the scene but were not
involved in the incident or with the task force.
“Our officers were not involved in the shooting,” said Pasadena police
Spokesperson Lt. Jason Clawson. “We were on scene only to facilitate and assist
in the matter.” n

MERMELL PUTS THREE EMPLOYEES
ON LEAVE AND OPENS PROBE INTO
ALLEGED MISUSE OF UNION FUNDS
FOR CONVENTION IN LAS VEGAS
BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
Three of five city employees accused of improperly
spending nearly $65,000 in union funds over a twoyear
period — nearly half of that amount supposedly
Steve Mermell
spent on attending a convention in Las Vegas in 2016 — have been placed on
administrative leave, City Manager Steve Mermell said Tuesday.
Sherene Young of the Finance Department, and Andre Hunter and Anthony
Hackett, both of the Public Works Department, were sent home while the city
completes its investigation into a trip allegedly to attend a convention hosted by
the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
More than $30,000 in union funds was allegedly spent on the trip, supposedly
for flights, hotel rooms and conference expenses. Union officials have said they
cannot find evidence that any of the five employees attended the convention. Two
other employees who said they attended the event, Marchell Parker and Lorenzo
Spencer, also of the Public Works Department, no longer work for the city, said
Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian without elaborating.
As for the remaining $34,700, all five employees allegedly received wire
transfers from union funds, according to the Pasadena Star-News.
This is the second time in less than four years employees in the Public Works
Department have been investigated for improper use of funds.
In late 2014, former employee Danny Wooten was arrested for allegedly
embezzling $6.4 million from the city over 11 years. Wooten is charged with
44 felony counts of embezzlement, conflict of interest and tax crimes. His
alleged accomplice Tyrone Collins is charged with 10 counts of embezzlement in
connection with the theft.
Wooten, a minister, allegedly altered more than 200 invoices to steal money
from the city.
“The AFSCME International Union, in cooperation with AFSCME District
Council 36, is taking very seriously the misconduct charges,” said AFSCME
spokesperson Erica Zeitlin, who worked as a reporter for this newspaper in the
early 2000s. “AFSCME is a democratic, member-driven organization that has
structures specifically designed to assure fiscal responsibility in every one of
its affiliates. The union is aggressively pursuing a comprehensive investigation
and is committed to assuring full accountability to AFSCME Local 858’s
membership.”
Law enforcement is not investigating at this point, said Pasadena police Lt.
Jason Clawson. n

sisterhood with that city.
The delegation visited schools, youth centers,
museums, the chamber of commerce, the Port of
Dakar, the island of Gorée (the infamous gateway
of slavery to the Western Hemisphere), the National
Assembly, the US Embassy and other locations.
“Mayor Ndoye was with us from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
every day of our delegation, as was a cameraman
from a private TV station,” said Bousseloub.
“Everywhere we went we were received with great
interest and warmth by officials as well as the
citizens of Dakar-Plateau.”
Senegal is one of the most stable democracies
in Africa. According to the BBC, for example, it is
the “only country on mainland West Africa never
to have had a military coup.” Although it is 96
percent Muslim, the country is also tolerant of other
religions. Easter and Christmas are government
holidays, for instance, and Muslim residents often
have Christmas trees in their homes. Officials at the
US Embassy also informed the Pasadena delegation
that while Senegal is a conservative society, it is
making positive progress on LGBTQ rights and
there have been no recent active persecutions
against LGBTQ people.
Senegal is not without its political turmoil,
however. Dakar-Plateau is one of 19 district
communes of greater Dakar, with each district
commune having its own city government. In
March, as the Pasadena delegation was touring
Dakar-Plateau, the mayor of Dakar, Khalifa Sall,
was sentenced to five years in jail for embezzling
$3.4 million and falsifying documents. Sall and
Dakar’s city government would not be involved in
a Sister Cities relationship between Dakar-Plateau
and Pasadena.
Identifying a Sister City
Before settling on Dakar-Plateau, the ad hoc
committee explored other possibilities on the
continent. They preferred a region that had an
English-speaking population, no war or epidemics
and a democratic political system that respected
human and civil rights. They considered all 54
countries before narrowing the list down to three:
South Africa, Ghana and Ethiopia.
They first approached Cape Town, South Africa,
but after several months of waiting, Mayor Patricia
De Lille informed the committee that Cape Town
was only interested in investors, not a formal Sister
Cities relationship. The cities of Durban and Port
Elizabeth expressed interest, but did not follow up.
In June 2017, Senegal’s Honorary Consul in LA
Mame Mbaye unexpectedly called Bousseloub and
they discussed the possibility of a Sister Cities
relationship with a city in Senegal. On June 18, 2017,
Bousseloub gave an invitation letter to Mbaye, who
delivered it to Ndoye in Dakar-Plateau. On July 13,
2017, Ndoye wrote back accepting the offer.

we express our full support for this project,” Ndoye
wrote.
The Importance of Exchange
Bousseloub and Jim Barry, a member of the ad
hoc committee who lived in Senegal for five years,
are optimistic that the Pasadena City Council will
approve their proposal. They pointed out that the
Sister Cities Committee overwhelmingly approved it.
Bousseloub also pointed out that Dakar-Plateau
has a wealth of museums, a UNESCO World
Heritage site, strong infrastructure such as its new
airport and port, popular cultural festivals, financial
institutions and youth programs. The presidential
palace, the country’s major banks and all of its top
companies are located in Dakar-Plateau.
If the City Council approves the proposal on
Monday, the two cities would exchange official
delegations led by Ndoye and Pasadena Mayor Terry
Tornek and conduct signing ceremonies in each city.
Bousseloub then envisions extensive exchange
opportunities between the two cities, including
police officers, doctors, students, faculty and
administrators of schools and universities,
scientists, artists, musicians, business executives
and athletes. Ultimately, he would like to see the
creation of an annual Pan-African Market and
Arts Festival at the Rose Bowl, and invite all of the
African consulates in LA to participate.
“People on the West Coast of the United States
have so little contact with Africa compared to
people on the East Coast of the United States,”
Barry said, addressing why Pasadena needs a Sister
Cities relationship with an African city.
Bousseloub agreed, pointing out that the
African-American community is a sizable portion of
Pasadena’s population.
“This is a time when African Americans are
searching for their roots,” he said. “We look at
Pasadena as a mosaic. We want to add a beautiful
new tile to make it a comprehensive and beautiful
mosaic. We have Sister Cities relationships with
three Asian cities and two European cities. Well,
there are no Central or South American cities, and
there are no African cities. I think there is something
there that needs to be done in the future.”
Pasadena just finished hosting two college
students from Ludwigshafen, Germany, who
interned at a Pasadena law firm and the Huntington
Library. One of the students, Sophia Hoffman, who
stayed with different host families in Pasadena and
Altadena for five weeks, told the Pasadena Weekly
about how meaningful this experience was for her.
“I’ve had a wonderful time here,” she said. “I am
glad and thankful for having the chance to be here. The
people of the exchange program are very welcoming
and cordial. I will always remember my time in
California and I am sure that I will come back.” n

MARC AMBINDER TELLS OF HOW CLOSE MILITARY ‘WAR GAMES’ EDGED TO NUCLEAR WAR IN 1983 — AND THE

question was a five-day NATO military exercise, codenamed Able Archer 83, in the year
when Reagan’s “evil empire” speech magnified escalating distrust and paranoia between
the US and the Soviet Union. We edged so close to accidental nuclear conflict, and the
surrounding intelligence failure was deemed so complete, that the CIA now cites it when
teaching analysts how “not to fall into the brain trap of assuming that their reality is a
mirror image of their adversaries’.”
Was it despite or because of our military might that we almost immolated millions of
people? During an interview Ambinder says his “intellectual goal” for “The Brink,” his
third book, was to solve the mystery: “How is it possible that the two superpowers might
have accidentally blundered their way into a nuclear conflict in 1983 without realizing it
or wanting it? How does that even work, given all we’ve been through now about mutually
assured destruction and nuclear deterrence?”
An adjunct journalism professor at USC, Ambinder has covered national security
and politics for the Atlantic, Defense One, GQ, National Journal, USA Today and The
Week. He interviewed more than 100 people for “The Brink,” including “eight direct participants
in Able Archer 83.” What emerges is a complicated portrait of systems within
systems, and political and military brinksmanship painstakingly established within the
context of contemporaneous events. The depth of research is almost overwhelming (it
helps to bring patience with acronyms), and a few moments stretch credulity, such as a
contention tion
that Reagan “snuck down” to the White House Situation Room.
But in showing, for instance, how East Germany’s feared Stasi selectively withheld
information from Russia’s KGB, the amply footnoted t book illustrates t not only the vital
importance of human intelligence sources, but also how politicization of intelligence
undermines national security. Presidential leadership issues, thrown into stark relief
when the vulnerabilities of communication systems governing nuclear deployment are
exposed by another secret war game, are further underscored by the epilogue. President
Trump, Ambinder writes, could give a retaliatory launch order and see it fully carried
out within 15 to 20 minutes — and “there is no rule that requires the president to talk to
anyone before authenticating his identity with the military and ordering a launch.”
In conversation Ambinder rings an urgent alarm while sounding cautiously hopeful:
“There are really significant symbolic and practical steps that we can take in the near
term that would reduce the threat the entire world faces.” But the parallels between
present circumstances and those surrounding Able Archer 83 “are not just striking,” he
says. “They’re frankly horrifying.”
PW: It’s sobering to read “The Brink” when its references to “diplomacy on the shelf” and
a president’s “apocalyptic rhetoric” strongly parallel our present political situation, and our
president and certain advisers seemingly endorse the notion of containable or survivable
nuclear conflict.
AMBINDER: The metaphor we always hear is the president has his finger on the nuclear
trigger, but the president is actually the safety catch. The system is designed to lead
toward this huge brinksmanship; it’s designed to turn every misunderstanding or every
false intelligence clue into the worst-case scenario. So it really does take a president

where, if not a nuclear conflict, we could have been in a low-grade conventional war
with the Soviet Union that would have cost the lives of tens of thousands of people. It
was really that tense.
Quieter revelations concern the pivotal role of spies like Jeffrey Carney, Oleg Gordievsky,
Rainer Rupp and John Walker. Has that information only recently been declassified?
A lot of that information is new, and a lot of it is newly synthesized [from] fragments
of recordings and declassified documents [and] secondary literature. … On both sides,
spies at critical moments told the truth to their spymasters, essentially. Gordievsky
repeatedly warned the British that American aggression was triggering the Soviets in
a way that could lead to nuclear war … it changed policy. You can make a strong case
that, putting aside ideology and the nobility of spy craft, people like Rupp and Gordievsky
are heroes of the story because they told the truth when it was inconvenient for
them to do so, and they did so in ways that allowed policy makers, once they received
the information, to ratchet down tension. ... Being able to put all that together and show
the linkage between the way information would percolate up the chain and how it might
be interpreted or misinterpreted was the hardest but also the coolest part of writing the
book. You got to see in real time how individuals reacted to intelligence.
ON ‘THE BRINK’
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 09
and an intelligence system that’s very attentive to what the other side is doing to prevent
potentially catastrophic misunderstanding.
That is resoundingly clear
I didn’t buy into the caricature that Reagan wasn’t intelligent but I did buy the
caricature, perhaps, that he wasn’t curious or that he didn’t think that he had a lot to
learn — and I found the opposite was the case. His curiosity was in his insistence on
learning more about the Soviet Union [and] why they might fear a first nuclear strike by
the United States; cabinet meetings, letters, and conversations with people, trying to put
himself in the shoes of Soviet leaders and people throughout this period, encouraged his
impulse toward diplomacy. He doesn’t get enough credit for this intellectual curiosity.
In some ways it’s critical to the situation in general resolving as it did. A couple months
later when he started reading the intelligence that the Soviets had reacted really unusually
to this exercise, it was Reagan who pressed his team for actions that would reduce
tension and significantly increase diplomatic contact. So Reagan’s instincts and humility
— not a quality always associated with him — in realizing he didn’t fully understand
the Soviet Union were essential characteristics of his political leadership.
In different phrasing, you describe humility as probably the most powerful counterbalance
against war.
It was. That’s a good way of putting it. There are different schools of writing history
and many schools emphasize structural factors at the expense of strong personalities.
But in this case you see direct evidence that personality and character really made a
difference. That doesn’t mean it always does, but were Reagan not endowed with that
curiosity, and if he had a different set of characteristics or inclinations — and frankly, if
he had a different set of beliefs about nuclear war — we could have escalated to a point
Did any of the experts or Able Archer participants you interviewed single out particular
warning signs to watch for or parallels with current relations between the US and other
nuclear powers?
Virtually everyone I talked to on all sides — a lot of them Republicans who served
in the Reagan administration, conservative to the core — are horrified and afraid. Not
just because of the decision-making aspect of it, but because they also know the nuclear
command that controls the system itself is very fragile, and is liable to be gamed and is
susceptible to dysfunction, still, even as technologies have changed. A lot of “there but
for the grace of God go I” comments percolate out. It’s scary. It really was the proverbial
orange-haired elephant in the room. … Voters, when they are talking to politicians running
for Congress or the presidential level, need to ask very specific questions: ‘If China
attacked Taiwan, and the US was obligated by treaty to respond, and the US’ primary
means of responding would be attack with a nuclear weapon — what would you do?’
You write that, with the exception of Eisenhower and Carter, “presidents were generally
ignorant about the actual mechanics of waging a nuclear war.” Did the Bushes, Clinton, and
Obama participate in coordinated nuclear exercises like Ivy League 82?
They went through the exercise, but their interest wasn’t in learning about the
mechanics. I can say this about Obama: One of Obama’s biggest legacies is the START
treaty with Russia, an incredibly important treaty that obviously allows the US to understand
and verify what Russians are doing with their nuclear weapons and provides
a framework for all kinds of diplomacy. But Obama, in order to get that treaty, had to
give something up. To get votes from Republicans, he worked with Sen. John Kyle, who’s
sort of a nuclear hawk in the Senate, and agreed to start funding what would amount to
a $300 billion, 20-year nuclear modernization project. That means that all of the nuclear
weapons and nuclear infrastructure we have is getting orders of magnitude better — the
totality of our weapons, the precision, our targeting, our ability to use them for more
things increases by orders of magnitude. In exchange, we keep a few less of them at the
ready. It’s a hard bargain to strike. If your nuclear weapons are five times more deadly,
and you have 30 fewer of them at the ready, are you really gaining that much? I know it’s
something that weighs on Obama’s mind, and it’s something he’s going to write about
in his book, and it’s something that concerns him now. I say this not to criticize Obama;
I can’t imagine, if there’s ever a nuclear conflict, wanting a president with a different
temperament than Obama — he has the perfect temperament. But even as committed
to nuclear disarmament as Obama was, he just didn’t have the bandwidth to take the
doctrine and these issues to the level where they need to be in order to really make the
world safe. It’s not that he didn’t participate in the drills; he did. It’s just that there a million
things going on.

SOME PARTING GIFTS IN A FINAL FAREWELL
BY SIMONE DUPUY | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO
Here we are at the finish line. It has been a pleasure writing
for the good readers of Pasadena Weekly for the last eight
months. I did my best to take you all out and test-drive
new experiences just by unfolding the paper. I had my opinions;
perhaps you all disagreed, and that’s fine. That’s great, in fact. It
doesn’t matter if I think Buffalo Wild Wings is the armpit of humanity
in every conceivable way. If you like it, you like it. Nothing I
say should change that.
But if you did, on occasion, find my recommendations palatable,
here I am now to construct an ideal dining day for you. Consider
it my parting gift, although it’s also a bit of a self-serving record of
nostalgia. Though I am sure my new San Francisco home will have
plenty of hidden tasty spots, greasy spoons and dive bars, I will
reread this article with a tear in my eye whenever I’m homesick.
Without further ado, here goes my ideal day of consumption in the
greater Pasadena area:
Breakfast at Jeremy’s in Montrose. When I first visited this
place, it had a B health rating. This in no way prevented many,
many, many family breakfasts there in the years to come. The
eventual upgrade to an A was just the cherry on top of an already
charming, homey, welcoming diner.
At Jeremy’s, the food is always exactly the same — maybe
just a bit better than you remember it. The pancakes are truly
like yellow cake cooked in a pan. No amount of syrup seems
able to overwhelm their pure, delicious power. The corned beef
hash scooped up on rye toast with oozing egg yolk washes over
the hungover and post-churchgoing crowd alike with waves of
comfort. The coffee flows incessantly. Every inch of wall space
is covered in grandparent-esque signage, the tabletops similarly
unrelentingly adorned with business cards and knick-knacks.
The waitresses call you honey as they deliver the crispiest bacon
imaginable at lightning speed. It all feels right.
If you’re able to work back up an appetite by the time lunch hits,
head up the street to Sianto’s Lebanese Bakery in La Crescenta.

PARADE OF FAVORITES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
Though it was once named Shanto’s and priced at
about half the current listings, I am still (and will
forever be) a loyal stamp-card holder. The cheese and
baby spinach mana’ish speckled with tangy sumac is
the best way to eat ridiculous amounts of leafy greens
while having the gosh darned flavor experience of a
lifetime. A za’atar and lebni wrap with veggies both
fresh and pickled probably account for over half the
ticks on my loyalty card. Treat yourself to midday
dessert in the form of a Nutella and banana wrap with
honey and walnuts. Melty, crunchy, sweetness makes
an excellent closer to an herbaceous, salty, fulfilling
meal.
To hold you over between lunch and happy hour,
take the 210 into Alhambra for tea at 7 Leaves.
Balanced oolong milk teas and mild taro drinks
pair well with boba, custard, jellies, etc. But alas,
the pièce de résistance in my book is the mung bean
milk tea made with pandan. I always get mine lightly
sweetened, and any add-ons depend on my mood.
A shocking green akin to matcha, the drink gets an
earthy flavor from the mung bean, a nuttiness from
the pandan. Truly, this is a marriage created by
the boba gods. Nuanced, not overbearingly sweet,
refreshing … When I imagine my ideal self, I am
wealthy, styled, fit, happy and holding a large mung
bean tea from 7 Leaves.
The remainder of the day could take a number
of turns. If it’s Tuesday, off to Craft Beer Cellar in
Eagle Rock for trivia and brews. The spot is often
crowded, but it’s with friendly folks and for good
reason. A solid bottle shop and tap list will satisfy
most any beer belly, snooty or simple.
Not trivia Tuesday but you’re still feelin’ bevs ’n’
games? Block Party on York Boulevard in Highland
Park has beer, wine, cocktails and shuffleboard for
your social pleasure. If you’re lucky, the Tacos La
Tehuanita truck will be right outside ready to serve
you a devilishly crunchy, rich, savory, saucy burnt
cheese and asada taco. The vegan ceviche is also an
excellent selection for those plant-based and dairyfree
folk. Everything, of course, goes beautifully with
one of Block Party’s decked-out micheladas. Run
across the street to the Hi-Hat and catch up on the
up-and-coming music scene if you feel so inclined.
Get a Sufjan-themed dessert at Donut Friend if local
punk isn’t your jam. There’s always something cool
happening in Highland Park.
Still in the area but want something more low
key? Just over on Figueroa Street lay a nestled-away
pizza spot and a wine bar. Triple Beam sells slices
by weight, so hold up your hands to the width of
pie that fits your tummy/wallet and enjoy. The pizza
is pretty darn close to the real Roman deal so it’s
hard to go wrong, but the nettle pizza is a personal
favorite (though the menu is constantly adjusting
and rotating). Just a few steps away stands Highland
Park Wine’s impressive selection curated by the
same man who orders wine for the Norton Simon
Museum. I do love and appreciate top-shelf wine, but
I still recommend going to the reliable and prominent
under-$20 bottle display. The workers will cork the
bottle for you and your friends to enjoy out on the
patio with pizza like a true Italian.
If none of these float your boat, Edwin Mills by
Equator in Old Pasadena has incredible happy hour
deals and/or live music most nights of the week.
After your fill, sneak around the corner to Doghaus
for übercrispy tots, dressed-up sausages or bomb
burgers.
If it isn’t quite 11 p.m. yet, go back to 7 Leaves for a
second helping of mung bean tea.
All done? Me neither. I didn’t squeeze in a Yaki
Burger or the complementary rolls at Star Cafe or a
cortado at Constellation.
Every visit home will be a marathon of eating, but
I hope it can be more of a relay among readers now
that I’ve disclosed my favorite spots. Carry on, be
good, keep me updated on the best bites and deals.
Thank you and farewell.

Celebrity interviewer Lawrence Grobel undergoes Q&A tonight at South
Pasadena Library
The South Pasadena Public Library will host an evening with
journalist and author Lawrence Grobel — aka the “Mozart of
Interviewers” — at 7 p.m. tonight, Aug. 23, in the library’s historic
Community Room, located at 1115 El Centro St. Admission is free
and refreshments will be served.
Grobel has penned 28 books on many of the world’s most
famous celebrities, and writes for national magazines and
newspapers, including The New York Times, Newsday, Rolling
Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, and Writer’s Digest. Playboy called him “the
interviewer’s interviewer” after his interview with Marlon Brando for its 25th anniversary
issue, while Grobel subsequently made national news resulting from his interviews with
controversial Governor Jesse Ventura and fiery basketball coach Bobby Knight.
Grobel’s numerous bestselling and award-winning books include “Conversations with
Capote,” “The Hustons,” “Conversations with Brando,” “Talking with Michener,” “Above the
Line: Conversations About the Movies,” “The Art of the Interview,” “Al Pacino: In Conversation
with Lawrence Grobel,” “Barbra Streisand,” and “Meryl Streep.” Video clips of Grobel’s
interviews with such icons as Robin Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Miles Davis, and John Huston
will be screened during the library event.
A Q&A with Grobel will be conducted by Dean Ghaffari, an actor, playwright, and teacher
who lives in South Pasadena. Ghaffari has performed his living history portrayal of Sal Mineo,
“Rebel With a Cause,” to a standing ovation at the library. Audience members will also be able
to pose questions.
Autographed copies of Lawrence Grobel’s books will be available for purchase. Call (626)
403-7350.

ON ‘THE BRINK’
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
Even more disturbing in some ways is cyberwarfare, not least because our infrastructure
and systems have been compromised by foreign hackers, and because that mistaken
“ballistic missile warning” in Hawaii this year should been a wakeup call but has already
been forgotten.
Right. I can’t imagine how terrifying that would have been, in the shoes of someone
who was told they have an hour to live. You trust your government. I get pretty sensitive
about some of this stuff, but I was sobbing that day. This should not happen, especially
now that we’ve had nuclear weapons for more than 55 years. It just shows to me the inattention
that we pay to how information is transmitted and how vulnerable our information
systems are.
Is our digital communications network more secure than it was in ’83?
No. Parts of it are a lot more secure. But the technology that could be used to break into
it and hack it has also improved over time. ... I will say the one large improvement since
this period has been the safety of the weapons themselves inside the US and probably
the Soviet Union. If you were to give me a mated nuclear warhead right now, even with 10
tons of explosives around it, I could not make it go off. These weapons now are extremely
hard to accidentally detonate, which is a good thing. Now, what is not a good thing is that
Pakistan has 125 of these weapons, and Pakistan does not have that technology. Pakistan
likes to leave their weapons around so the United States will not figure out where they’re
hiding them, so they move them around on pickup trucks, and the US doesn’t really know
exactly what mechanisms are on those weapons. The bombs aren’t necessarily mated to
the warheads, but we don’t really know how fragile the bombs are and how they go off.
The US has some intelligence to suggest that Pakistan fairly deliberately keeps the bombs
close to the warheads and doesn’t have the environmental sensors built in that the US has.
There’s a lot that we don’t know. So I would be worried about a bomb accidentally going
off in Pakistan. Let’s say it goes off near the border of India; suddenly Indian troops are
victims of a Pakistani nuclear bomb and there’s an accidental nuclear conflict in Pakistan
and India.
And their situation’s already tense because of Kashmir.
Right. I think the most significant positive change has been the persistence of nuclear
arms treaties between the US and the Soviet Union, which really do allow both sides to
keep tabs on what other side is doing and to see if the other side is breaking the treaty
and developing technology. … One thing that Reagan realized is that the president of the
United States is the one who has power to make significant decisions about what happens
with our nuclear arms not just in terms of doctrine, but in terms of technology, decision
making, and the number and quality of weapons. It’s a presidential leadership question,
and something we need to hold politicians accountable for. What’s happening right now
makes that even more urgent.
In the unlikely event that Donald Trump ever reads this book, what lesson do you want him to
take away from it, first and foremost?
[Pause] For him in particular, if he ever feels compelled to open that briefcase, the
nuclear football, to consult and talk to as many people as possible, and not just his own
counsel. I don’t think he’d actually listen to that advice. But based on him, where his cognitive
deficits are in this area, if I could force him to do something, it would be to consult
widely if he ever thought he was on the verge of making that decision. … I don’t want any
president’s brain alone to make that decision. ■

WHAT LIES BENEATH
IS CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE RESPONSIBLE FOR
LACK OF TRUST AND INTIMACY AS AN ADULT?
Dear Patti,
When I was 9 I was forced to do sexual acts by my stepbrother who was six years
older than me (I no longer ever say his name). At age 12, I was actually coerced into
sexual intercourse and this continued until I was 14 and moved away from him and
my parents. I made my Aunt Ginny promise not to tell my parents about the molestation
and she agreed on the condition I move in with her. Thank God! Moving in
with her and being under her loving, positive influence was the best thing that ever
happened to me!
With the help of my aunt, I worked out my issues with my mom and my stepdad. I
didn’t tell them anything but, on their own, they realized my stepbrother had serious
problems. Although they still give him limited help, they keep him away from the rest
of the family. Ever since I left home, I continued to grow and never felt I was bad or
broken. When he was out of my life, I was fine. I never felt the need to talk to a professional
about what happened. The problem was buried with my stepbrother and that
was the end of it.
I’ve been happily married to Michael for three years and we have a good sexual
relationship. He knows what happened and is very understanding and supportive.
I’ve become close with Tory, a woman from work, and she insists that what happened
is still affecting me. At first I didn’t believe it, but I’m beginning to realize that
while I’m open sexually, I’m partially closed to intimacy. The only people I let in
completely are my aunt and now, Tory. I rarely let my husband, or any man for that
matter, see me vulnerable and emotionally open.
— Katy
Dear Katy
Childhood sexual abuse infringes on one’s basic rights as an individual. You
should’ve been able to have sexual experiences at the appropriate developmental time
and within your own control and choice. It sounds like you still fear another person taking
away your control if you become unguarded and susceptible. I don’t believe you have
to delve into your traumatic past unless the repression of those memories and feelings
are somehow impacting and interfering with the quality of your life today.
Sexual abuse has been correlated with difficulties with affection, intimacy and openness,
as well as higher levels of repression and denial. The results can have much wider
ramifications than only sexual disorders. Unfortunately, sexual molestation is often a
traumatic experience which can have many consequences throughout your life.
Insofar as your relationship with Michael, do you believe your relationship would be
different if you had never been molested? How so? Do you believe that what happened
to you has had an impact on your behavior today? If so, in what way? What would it
be like for you to share closeness with Michael and other males in a similar way that
you do with your aunt and Tory? Are you living in a rigid, limited way due to childhood
trauma?
I recommend professional counseling where you’ll be able to explore specifics
of how what happened to you in the past has been emotionally pushed down. Were
there times you felt helpless and out of control with your stepbrother and now—in the
present—you want to avoid similar feelings? What happened to you was horrific, but
it’s also terrible those experiences might still have power over you, your relationship
with Michael and your feelings about yourself. It sounds like Michael wants as open a
relationship with you as possible. Think about the possibility of intimacy with no walls
between the two of you or any walls between you and your own feelings.
Understandably, you’re resistant to the idea of professional counseling and exposure
to painful memories. If you decide to undergo treatment designed for sexual healing and
build a therapeutic alliance wherein you and your therapist help you connect current
emotional problems with past sexual abuse, it will assist you in gaining a more positive
sexual self-concept, develop skills to positively experience intimacy and eventually heal
the effects of your painful childhood. You deserve to be free of past trauma. n

If you’re looking for a fanciful tale about unicorns, you might be
disappointed. Marjani Forté-Saunders’ “Memoirs of a…Unicorn”
isn’t about a one-horned creature so much as “the power of culture
and the ingenuity of black men,” as seen through the eyes of
a Pasadena-native who went on to become a 2014 Princess Grace
Choreography Fellow.
Born and raised in Northwest Pasadena, Forté-Saunders and
her husband composer, Everett Saunders, a native of Philadelphia,
are currently co-directors of the Alkebulan Cultural Center,
located in a converted Pasadena firehouse on North Raymond
Avenue. Pasadena is where Forté-Saunders got her start with the
Ebony Jivettes.

“It’s the first place I started dancing,” Forté-Saunders noted
during a recent phone interview. The Jivettes were meeting in
Loma Alta Park in Altadena when Forté-Saunders was only 3. She
continued to dance, coming under the tutelage of Nailah Randall-
Bellinger. “She specifically wanted to dance within my cultural
heritage,” she recalled of her mentor, but Randall-Bellinger also
backed that up with a ballet foundation.
After graduating — partially attending both Marshall Fundamental
and the LA County High School for the Arts, she ultimately
earned a bachelor of arts degree in marketing and dance from
Loyola Marymount University. She traveled as a performer with
Urban Bush Women Dance Co. for five years, and co-founded

were built by Forté-Saunders’ father, Rick Forté,
a skilled carpenter and contractor. Her father’s involvement
adds another layer to the narrative which
Forté-Saunders said is spurred by stories from her
Arkansas-born father’s life, but also incorporates the
experiences of her husband and her son. The piece
is about the “unicorns” in her life, who occupy the
roles of father, husband, brother and son. For Forté-
Saunders, unicorns are magical creatures filled with
mercurial passion, enduring purity and unpredictable
wildness that can only be approached by kindred
spirits.
According to Forté-Saunders’ previous accounts
about this piece, her father, who is one of her central
unicorns, didn’t have the opportunity to pursue his
formal education, leaving at an early age, but he
continued to read and introduced her to another
local: Octavia Butler. During our interview, Forté-
Saunders mentioned that more recently, he can be
found tinkering with computers, something he’s done
since computers could fill a room. That’s not surprising,
considering her husband is a Logic Pro certified
instructor and an Apple-certified trainer who has a
New York-based company, Flux Inn, which provides
audio, video and software training, web design, photography
and branding services.
Although Forté-Saunders acknowledges the “dehumanizing
space in popular culture” in the identity
of black males because it is difficult to say “that my
father or my son was a black man without acknowledging
the trauma they face of police violence and
legislation,” her piece is a “fantastical narrative” that
aims to “get the audiences to think less about the
construct of race” and more about the “ingenuity”
of such men in their “ability to survive and ability to
thrive.”
Think of just how much the African diaspora has
changed the world, how “nearly every cultural art
coming out of North America” has been touched by
African culture and how it has spread and “transformed
the globe,” she explained. “You hear it in the
music of Japan or the hip hop in Australia or referenced
in the blues in Scotland.” You can “see all these
seeds of culture, sown up and blossomed.” And, she
is careful to note, “Not all Africans are descendants
of the slave trade.”
There are many stories that are “not necessarily
being told” because “people of color aren’t given the
opportunities to tell them. I’m using my art to dust
those stories off,” she said. “I am interested in sharing
the part about celebrating the magic and majesty,
the mystic and fantastical ideas of what we can be.”
Her work is a celebration of family, with her husband
not only designing the sound composition but also
even defining her look because he’s a master barber
who shaped her hair style.
The production was well-received enough during
its New York run to earn a 2018 Bessie Award nomination
for Outstanding Production and Outstanding
Visual Design. Bessie Awards go to creative work by
independent dance artists in NYC. n
“Memoirs of a…Unicorn” is at 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday,
August 24-25, at the Ford Theatres, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East,
Hollywood. Tickets are $25. Visit FordTheatres.org or call (323)

‘For a Better Life’
HOPEFUL POP FROM ROONEY AT THE REGENT NEXT THURSDAY
When your whole family
has not only made
Hollywood home, but
also added luster to its myth, it’s
perhaps inevitable that you will
at least try to do the same. To
pop fans, Robert Schwartzman
is known as the shaggy-haired
frontman of Rooney. Film lovers
may know him as the son of
actress Talia Shire, nephew of
Francis Ford Coppola, cousin of
Nicolas Cage and Sofia Coppola,
and brother to the more famous
Jason, who drummed for Phantom
Planet until Hollywood’s calls
became too frequent.
In some respects the footloose
Schwartzman’s career seems like a
search for a sustainable sweet spot
between music and film. His acting
resume’s grounded in inconsequential
appearances in films like “The
Virgin Suicides” and “The Princess
Diaries,” but from high school
through much of the early ’00s his
primary focus was Rooney and, increasingly,
scoring short films and
TV. Then he stepped behind the
camera to direct Jason in 2016’s
piano bar-centered “Dreamland”;
he returned to studio sets to direct
“The Unicorn,” due out next year,
a comedy in which Rooney’s new
single will be heard.
Said single, “Do You Believe,”
released last week, doesn’t have
quite as magnetic a hook as “My
Heart Beats 4 U” (from 2016’s
“Washed Away”). But it sounds
downright lush in comparison to
the more angular, metallic synth
sounds of Rooney’s 2017 EP “El
Cortez,” and it certainly has more
substance than 2010’s tissueweight
“When Did Your Heart Go
Missing?” In a summer of roiling
discontent, the song, which will
likely be a high point of Rooney’s
set at the Regent next Thursday,
is thematically on point. Live,
Schartzman’s proved his mettle
as musician and composer,
holding his own in solo acoustic
settings with no loops or accompaniment
as protective buffer;
but the full-band treatment
underscores the tune’s summery
appeal as well as the lyric’s sense
of purpose.
This way and that way
What’s the difference if we’re
all gonna pay
Uptown, black or brown
Live your religion but we all
hurt the same
Spin its drops of gold
For a better life
The truth is bought and told
For a better life
If ever there was a time crying
out for a “Get Together” type
anthem, this is it. There isn’t a
millisecond of Jesse Colin Young’s
hippie earnestness to be heard
within the sleek constructs of “Do
You Believe,” but its slightly cynical
yet hopeful message still hits
home. n
Rooney performs at the Regent Theater,
448 S. Main St., Downtown LA at 8 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 30; $20 advance/$25 day of
show. Info: (323) 284-5727. Rooneymusic.

A String Thing
NEW WORLD STRING PROJECT WEAVES
TRADITIONAL STYLES AT CALTECH
The Pasadena Folk Music Society presents the New World String Project in a
Saturday night show at Caltech. The group’s music boasts Celtic, Nordic and
American folk roots in a weave of traditional sound.
New World String Project utilizes traditional instruments to get the musical
message across. Lisa Lynne is an accomplished Celtic harp player and multi-instrumentalist
who has released music on the Windham Hill and New Earth labels. She
performs frequently with fellow Project member and veteran multi-instrumentalist
Aryeh Frankfurter, who is an expert with harps and nyckelharpa, a Swedish instrument
with a bow and keys. The pair is joined by Stuart Mason, vocalist, guitarist, banjo and
mandola player, along with fiddler John Weed, who performs with Mason in Celtic
band Molly’s Revenge.
Weed and Mason have also worked together on various American roots music
projects.

TRAX BY BLISS
BIRD STREETS, Bird Streets (Omnivore):
HHHH
A refreshing collaboration between John Brodeur and
Jason Falkner, who also produced. Brodeur’s smart
lyrics imbue their sunny pop melodies with graceful
substance (“Is there any way to take the high road/
When down is where it leads”) against a backdrop
of snappy rhythms, chiming guitars and soaring
harmonies. Highlights: “Carry Me,” “Betting On the
Sun” (“I remember when/ We were tighter than
Steely Dan/ Now the fix is in/ And you’re breaking
up with your friends/ …You’re so confident when
the consequences are low”), the acoustic-textured
“Pretty Bones.” At Hotel Café in Hollywood Saturday,
Aug. 25, and Federal Bar in North Hollywood Sunday

KEVIN GORDON, Tilt and Shine (Crowville):
HHHH
Gordon burnishes his sterling rep with more
swampy rock ‘n’ roll and emotionally intelligent,
philosophically rich storytelling. Remembered
characters exist vividly with the present throughout
the album, like the ghosts envisioned on its cover art,
as he digs into the loamy soil feeding his Louisiana
roots and longtime guitarist/producer Joe McMahan’s
evocative slide and tremolo work thickens the
portentous atmosphere of standouts like “One Road
Out (Angola Rodeo Blues)” and “DeValls Bluff.”
“Every river’s a daughter of a dirty rain/ But see how
it shines/ Water’s moving like the blood pushing
through my veins,” Gordon sings on the masterfully
composed “Saint on a Chain.” Listen to this music;
it’s wise poetry pulsing with life. Kevingordon.net

Rodriguez
Sweet
Success
ONCE-FORGOTTEN SINGER RODRIGUEZ
RIDES HIS ‘SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN’
SECOND CHANCE INTO CAL STATE LA
BY CARL KOZLOWSKI
Sixto Rodriguez has lived one of the most
remarkably odd lives in the history of rock
and roll. As a Latino who has lived in Detroit
his entire life, he initially emerged onto the
world’s musical stage at precisely the wrong
time: amid the height of the Motown era, when
African-American artists were all the rage and
the music industry didn’t care much about
embracing Hispanic artists.
Yet the two albums he initially released
under the moniker of Rodriguez — 1970’s
“Cold Fact” and 1971’s “Coming From Reality”
— bombed horribly, even as they inspired a
major critic to consider him greater than Bob
Dylan. A defeated Rodriguez slunk off into a
backbreaking career working in demolition,
but learned years later that he had become a
legendary superstar in Australia and South Africa,
where his politically charged yet beautiful
orchestral pop had become anthems for the
anti-apartheid resistance.
He had missed out on his incredible
successes because rumors had spread that
he had committed suicide onstage on two
different occasions — once by setting himself
on fire onstage, another saying that he shot
himself in the head during a show. Rodriguez
thankfully has been making major money
touring South Africa since 1998, but America
and the rest of the world learned he was still
alive thanks to the Oscar-winning 2012 documentary
“Searching for Sugarman.”
The 75-year-old has been touring the
planet ever since, and this Saturday he makes
a stop at Cal State LA’s Luckman Performing
Arts Center for a show that should not be
missed.
In a phone interview from the Detroit home
he’s lived in for 40 years (but has nicely upgraded
with success), the politically charged
progressive shared his thoughts on his story
and the current political scene. In fact, he
turns every answer into a political rant.
“I’m a very political animal, and ran for city
council in Detroit and thought about running
for mayor since ‘Sugarman,’” says Rodriguez.
“In my platform, I say all power to the people,
instead of power to the people. My platform
is called O.R., or Oppression Will Result
in Revolution. It happened in South Africa
with apartheid, in France with storming the
Bastille, and in Mexico where they threw out
the French.
“We have a war going on now, and in my
family, I have five soldiers while my best friend
has six soldiers in hers,” he continues. “When
the draft dodger in chief says the truth doesn’t
matter, what does that say to other heads of
state, and to the press who have to follow it?
I think that the penalty for treason is hanging.
Or am I just hopeful? And overall, are things
better, worse or about the same? Now we’re in
the 21st century, but does it feel any different
than the 20th century? Aren’t we worrying
about oil prices again? “
Even when asked about the expanse of
his career and the effect of his comeback, the
self-effacing Rodriguez poured his intense
verbal energy into rants about President
Trump, the media, the still-ongoing court
battles with record companies, the nation’s
addiction epidemic and the endless wave of
mass shootings in America. All of these can
be heard on the linked podcast, yet he remains
an unceasing optimist and forever appreciative
of the fact that he finally got his shot.
“The situation has changed,” Rodriguez
notes. “Socrates was asked if he was a
citizen of Greece and he said he’s a citizen of
the world. In my case, I’m a student of the
world. I’ll come to any town and share my
experiences with others and broaden their
experiences.
“The internet has changed the game, and
we’re a global situation now,” he concludes. “
If you have one good idea, song, or story, it’s
global. I’m ready to speak. Before, I wanted to
be heard. Now I must be heard. “ n
Rodriguez performs at 8 p.m. Saturday at Cal
State LA’s Luckman Fine Arts Complex, 5151 State
University Drive, Los Angeles. Tickets are $60 to $80.

John Cho in Searching
CAPSULE REVIEWS
BY CARL KOZLOWSKI
Parental Nightmare
THE INNOVATIVE THRILLER ‘SEARCHING’ IS GROUNDBREAKING BOTH
IN ITS VISUALS AND CASTING
Do you think you know your teenage kids? How many friends
of theirs can you name? What would you do if you found out
your child went missing and you couldn’t think of a single
name or number for their social circle, then learned that every one
of their social media pages was turned to private?
That very real dilemma forms the intriguing and disturbing
starting point for the terrific and innovative new thriller “Searching,”
which is the first major studio film to be told entirely through the use
of visuals seen on technology screens like Skype, Facetime, home
video cameras, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The film follows a
widowed Asian-American father named David Kim (John Cho), whose
16-year-old daughter Margot (Michelle La) seems like the perfect kid
and student until she drops off the face of the Earth after claiming to
be at an all-night study group.
The two have always been close, but they have spent the past few
years dancing around the sad fact that Margot’s mom Pamela died of
cancer. Unbeknownst to David, Margot has retreated into a YouTubestyle
live-streaming site in which she pours her heart out to a few
seemingly random online friends each night, while slipping away from
her real-life friends.
When she doesn’t come home from the alleged study group and
continues to be missing for a day, David has to figure out her entire
personal life from scratch. Calling in the cops, he is assigned nonnonsense
missing-persons ace Detective Vick (Debra Messing in a
total 180 from her classic comedic turn on “Will & Grace”) and is led
down a dizzying array of online rabbit holes in a desperate search to
figure out if she’s run away, been assaulted, or gotten into nefarious
criminal activity.
The resulting search is a complete and total nail-biter, with one
shocking possibility after another seeming to be the certain end and
then being disproven. This is the rare thriller, akin to the 2014 masterpiece
“Gone Girl,” that will keep you completely astonished all the
way to the end.
“Searching” is remarkable not only for its groundbreaking visual
style and its sterling script by Aneesh Chaganty and Sev Ohanian, but
also for being the first major studio thriller to ever star an Asian-
American actor as the lead character. Cho has long been a successful,
steady presence, having starred as Harold in the cult classic comedy
trilogy of “Harold and Kumar” films as well as portraying Sulu in the
latest trilogy of “Star Trek” films.
But stepping front and center in this film, he has to keep viewers
focused in the unique visual settings while also displaying a powerful
and nuanced array of emotions. The film’s zippy and touching opening
sequence relays the family’s history through Pamela’s death in a way
that recalls the wonderful opening sequence in the Pixar animated
classic “Up,” but Cho has to keep the magic going almost entirely on
his own the rest of the way.
Messing is almost unrecognizable as Detective Vick, eschewing
the humorous pizazz of her beloved Grace character for a steely and
intense performance that provides a rare showcase for her dramatic
skills.
And bringing it all together is co-writer Aneesh Chaganty, who
noted at a pre-premiere screening talk that he and a team of several
friends spent five years conceiving the elaborately intricate approach
and then had to shoot it independently on a low budget because no
one had tried it before.
The result became a Sundance Film Festival sensation, leading to
a dream deal with the Screen Gems division of Sony Pictures. Following
fast on the heels of the massive success of “Crazy Rich Asians,”
this is proof positive that a long-overdue Asian invasion is finally hitting
American movie theatres, and will hopefully never stop. n
GRADE: A
CRAZY RICH ASIANS
Stars: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle
Yeoh
Length: 120 minutes
Directed by: Jon M. Chu
Rating: PG13
The romantic comedy that's kicking open the
doors of Hollywood for Asian-American talent,
"Asians" is possibly the best romantic comedy
of the century so far. The story of an American
woman who was raised poor falling for the
scion of a mega-rich Singapore dynasty and
the socioeconomic clashes that ensue is both
hilarious and touching and lavish to behold.
Grade: A
BLACKKKLANSMAN
Stars: John David Washington, Adam Driver
Length: 135 minutes
Directed by: Spike Lee
Rating: R
Spike Lee's huge comeback marks what might
be his best and most commercial film ever: an
audaciously funny and exciting true-life story
about an African-American cop in Colorado
Springs who teams with a Jewish policeman to
infiltrate and destroy a dangerous Ku Klux Klan
chapter. One of the year's best. Grade: A
THE MEG
Stars: Jason Statham, Bingbing Li, Rainn Wilson
Length: 113 minutes
Directed by: Jon Turteltaub
Rating: PG13
This utterly ridiculous yet undeniably funny
and exciting thriller follows a team of scientists
who try to track down and destroy a 90-footlong
prehistoric shark before it can massacre
thousands of beachgoers. This is a fun senduphomage
to "Jaws" and is one of the funnest
surprises of summer. Grade: A
EIGHTH GRADE
Stars: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton
Length: 93 minutes
Directed by: Bo Burnham
Rating: R
This intensely intimate dramedy sees life from
the eyes and mind of an awkward girl enduring
the travails of her last week in eighth grade. Elsie
Fisher pulls off a performance for the ages and
deserves an Oscar nomination as a girl fending
off creepy boys, learning to be more loving to
her single dad, and standing up for herself.
Writer-director Bo Burnham has accomplished a
masterpiece in his debut effort. Grade: A
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE:
FALLOUT
Stars: Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Michelle
Monaghan
Length: 147 minutes
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Rating: PG-13
Tom Cruise raises the bar on action movies by
miles, in a film that's packed with non-stop
action and in which he HALO skydives, flies a
helicopter on a chase through mountain passes,
speeds a motorcycle through the streets of Paris
and much more while trying to keep plutonium
out of the hands of a ruthless band of terrorists.
Defying a world in which every action movie
is rooted in CGI, this film's old-school dazzling
showmanship must be seen on as big a screen
as possible. Grade: A

ORDINANCE NO. 7331
AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF PASADENA
APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF PASADENA AND ARTCENTER
COLLEGE OF DESIGN RELATED
TO THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE
SOUTH CAMPUS (870, 888, 950,
AND 988 S. RAYMOND AVENUE
AND 1111 S. ARROYO PARKWAY)
AND HILLSIDE CAMPUS (1700
LIDA STREET)
WHEREAS, California Government
Code Section 65864 provides, in
pertinent
part:
“The Legislature finds and declares
that:
(a) The lack of certainty in the
approval of development projects
can result in a waste of resources,
escalate the cost of housing and
other development to the consumer,
and discourage investment in and
commitment to comprehensive
planning, which would make
maximum efficient utilization of
resources at the least economic cost
to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for
a development project that upon
approval of a future project, the
applicant may proceed with a future
project in accordance with existing
policies, rules and regulations,
and subject to conditions of
approval, will strengthen the public
planning process, encourage private
participation in comprehensive
planning, and reduce the economic
costs of development”; and
WHEREAS, California Government
Code Section 65865 provides, in
pertinent
part:
“(a) Any city...may enter into a
development agreement with any
person having a legal or equitable
interest in real property for the
development of the property as
provided in this article...”; and
WHEREAS, California Government
Code Section 65865.2 provides, in
pertinent part:
“A development agreement
shall specify the duration of the
agreement, the permitted uses of the
property, the density or intensity of
use, the maximum height and size of
proposed buildings, and provisions
for reservation or dedication of land
for public purposes. The development
agreement may include conditions,
terms, restrictions, and requirements
for subsequent discretionary actions,
provided that such conditions,
terms, restrictions, and requirements
for discretionary actions shall not
prevent development of the land
for the uses and to the density or
intensity of development set forth
in the agreement...”; and WHEREAS,
consistent with state law, the City of
Pasadena provides a process for the
adoption of development agreements
pursuant to the Pasadena Municipal
Code, Title 17, Chapter 17.66, which
sets forth specific findings that
must be made before a development
agreement may be approved; and
WHEREAS, ArtCenter College of
Design (“Developer”) proposes
to enter into a development
agreement with the City of Pasadena
(“Development Agreement”), which is
attached to this Ordinance as Exhibit
“A,” in connection with development
of a 15-year Master Plan at its
South Campus (870, 888, 950, and
988 S. Raymond Avenue and 1111
S. Arroyo Parkway) and Hillside
Campus (1700 Lida Street), in the
City of Pasadena, and described
in the legal descriptions attached
to the Development Agreement as
Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by
reference (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, the Project, including
this Ordinance and the Development
Agreement, has been reviewed
pursuant to the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act
(Public
Resources Code Sections 21000,
et seq. (“CEQA”), the State CEQA
Guidelines (California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Sections
15000, et seq.), and the City’s Local
CEQA Guidelines. The City prepared
an initial study and, based on the
information contained in the initial
study, concluded that the Project
had the potential to cause significant
impacts on the environment, and
prepared an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR). On May 9, 2018,
the City’s Planning Commission
considered the Project and Final EIR
for the Project and recommended
certification of the Final EIR
and approval of the Project and
Development Agreement. The
documents and other materials that
constitute the record are located in
the City’s Planning and Community
Development Department and are
in the custody of David Sinclair,
175 N. Garfield Avenue, Pasadena,
California 91101; and
WHEREAS, on May 9, 2018, the
City’s Planning Commission
conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the Project,
including the Development
Agreement. Notice of the time, place
and purpose of the public hearing
was duly provided in accordance
with California Government Code
Sections 65867, 65090, and 65091,
and the City’s ordinances. The
Planning Commission considered
the Project and Final EIR, and
recommended certification of the
Final EIR and approval of the Project
and development agreement; and
WHEREAS, on July 16, 2018, the
City Council conducted a duly
noticed public hearing to consider
the Development Agreement and
the Project. Notice of the time, place
and purpose of the public hearing
were duly provided in accordance
with California Government Code
Sections 65867, 65090 and 65091,
and the City’s ordinances. The City
Council considered the Final EIR
in conjunction with consideration
of this Ordinance, and adopted a
resolution certifying the Final EIR,
and approved the Project. The City
Council finds and determines that
there are no changes to the Project
or its circumstances, or other new
information that require further
environmental analysis pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality
Act and hereby finds the Final ElR as
certified sufficient for taking action
on the Development Agreement.
Further, the mitigation measures
set forth in the Final EIR are made
applicable to the Project through
conditions of approval; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites
prior to the adoption of this
Ordinance have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, the People of the
City of Pasadena ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. This ordinance, due to
its length and the corresponding cost
of publication, will be published by
title and summary as permitted by
Section 508 of the Pasadena City
Charter. The approved summary of
this ordinance is as follows:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Zoning Code Amendment to Allow
Conversions of Hotels and
Motels to Affordable Housing
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In response
to the increasing need for a variety of
affordable housing types the Planning
and Community Development Department
has prepared a Zoning Code
Amendment to allow the conversion of
existing hotels and motels to affordable
housing, including permanent
supportive housing.
PROJECT LOCATION: Properties that
are currently developed with hotels
and motels throughout the City of
Pasadena.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINA-
TION: The Planning Commission
will consider whether adoption of the
proposed Zoning Code Amendment
is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act under Section
15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities)
and there are no features that distinguish
this project from others in the
exempt class; therefore, there are
no unusual circumstances. Section
15301 allows the conversion of existing
structures to a use that is similar in
operation and intensity.
APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning
Commission will conduct a public
hearing and consider the proposed
Zoning Code Amendment on September
12, 2018. The Planning Commission
will forward its recommendation
to the City Council. The City Council
will make a fi nal decision on the proposed
Zoning Code Amendment at a
separately-noticed public hearing.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the
Planning Commission will hold a
public hearing to receive input from
the public and provide comments on
the proposed Zoning Code Amendment
to allow conversions of hotels
and motels to affordable housing,
including permanent supportive
housing.
Date: Wednesday, September 12,
2018
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Place: City Hall Council Chamber,
Room S249100

party or their representative may
appear at the meeting and comment

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests

THE PETITION requests authority
to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow
the personal representative to

court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested
persons unless they have waived
notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration
authority will be granted unless
an interested person fi les an objection
to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the
authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be
held on Sept. 10, 2018 at 8:30 AM in
Dept. No. 67 located at 111 N. Hill St.,
Los Angeles, CA 90012.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or
fi le written objections with the court
before the hearing. Your appearance
may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you
must fi le your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representative
appointed by the court within
the later of either (1) four months from
the date of fi rst issuance of letters to
a general personal representative, as
defi ned in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from
the date of mailing or personal delivery
to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as
a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in
California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the fi le kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may fi le with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the fi ling of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Request
for Special Notice form is available

008-001 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should
understand that there are risks involved
in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on
the property itself. Placing the highest
bid at a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should
also be aware that the lien being auctioned
off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property.
You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on
this property by contacting the county
recorder’s offi ce or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you
consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, benefi ciary, trustee, or
a court, pursuant to Section 2924g
of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as
a courtesy to those not present at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed, and, if
applicable, the rescheduled time and
date for the sale of this property, you
may call 916-939-0772 for information
regarding the trustee’s sale or

www.qualityloan.com, using the fi le
number assigned to this foreclosure
by the Trustee: CA-17-761889-RY.
Information about postponements
that are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be refl ected
in the telephone information or on the
Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to
attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability
for any incorrectness of the property
address or other common designation,
if any, shown herein. If no street
address or other common designation
is shown, directions to the location
of the property may be obtained by
sending a written request to the benefi
ciary within 10 days of the date of
fi rst publication of this Notice of Sale.
If the sale is set aside for any reason,
including if the Trustee is unable to
convey title, the Purchaser at the sale
shall be entitled only to a return of the
monies paid to the Trustee. This shall
be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive
remedy. The purchaser shall have no
further recourse against the Trustor,
the Trustee, the Benefi ciary, the Benefi
ciary’s Agent, or the Benefi ciary’s
Attorney. If you have previously been
discharged through bankruptcy, you
may have been released of personal
