I am writing to both thank you 

for bringing attention to the arts in

running the museum after Wesley 

Jessup’s departure. 

During this period, the PMCA 

held well-attended exhibitions of 

significant California artists and 

designers. These included Wayne

MOURNING CIVILITY 

As a longtime Democrat I was saddened to hear of the death of John 

McCain, a military hero, congressman and senator. He believed in this 

country and was willing to cross the party line to get things done, dealing 

with the Democrats to benefit all. 

All of the living presidents sent glowing tributes to the McCain family 

and the nation, except the classless current occupant of the White 

House. McCain asked Bush and Obama to speak at his funeral, and not 

the classless one.

HERE WE GO AGAIN 

Dictator woos the 

disenfranchised, obliterates 

the press, imposes punitive 

measures and grabs absolute 

military control. Remember 

Hitler, et al? Are our 

memories so short? Have 

we learned nothing from the 

patterns of world history? 

The Roman Empire paid, 

Britain paid, as did France, 

Germany, etc. Time for America 

to pay up on its karma. 

Trump, you may bully 

America but it won’t work with 

the rest of the world. If you 

want the US to end up as an 

isolated landmass of gun-toting 

rednecks and bimbos, you might 

just get your wish, and with no 

allies, only enemies, why would 

any normal person want to be

Here we are, stuck in the 

’50s while the world moves 

on. Bernie Sanders could have 

turned this into a free country 

and brought us into line with 

Europe, Canada, New Zealand, 

Australia, etc. 

Pity that Hillary didn’t 

know when to leave the stage. 

The biggest mistake of all? No 

country can afford to have a 

disenfranchised sector. Why 

wasn’t that fixed? 

Meanwhile, the intelligentsia

RE: LETTERS, AUG. 23 

(In response to the “letter” 

submitted by “Patrick Lawson” 

of Pasadena), 

With a torrential outpouring 

of scorching hatred and raging 

lunacy all across the country, 

carnophobes are not just 

annoying anymore. They’re 

downright destructive. These 

unhinged beings should be right 

in there for remedies available 

via our greatest system of 

medicine the world has ever 

known. 

For starters, they should 

be schooled in the proper 

properties of meat. Buzzfeed

since this cabal is SO fond 

of throwing percentages out 

there, that’s almost 100 percent 

more fact-based talking points 

than businessinsider.com/8- 

ridiculous-myths-about-eatingmeat-2014-2 

Plagiary is emitted by this 

cadre every time the media 

runs their unknown authored 

propaganda. Perhaps the more 

disturbing and damaging 

aspects of this charade is the 

apparent complicity of the USA 

Today Network and other news 

syndicates publishing this tripe. 

I cannot believe the press has 

not discovered that after nearly 

two decades that they are being 

used. So the media involved 

MUST be active participants. 

In an all-around sustainable 

society, we must not be 

quibbling over our neighbor’s 

diets (cannibals excepted). 

A big, beefy, bacon-wrapped 

burger barbecued to perfection 

should only be criticized by 

Muslims, and they can skip the 

bacon. In the meantime, we still 

don’t know who writes these 

PETA pieces, or how many of 

the “letter writers” even exist. 

Let’s go hit the Drive-Thrus… 

When I did a Google search

•GUEST OPINION• 

BY ROBERT M. NELSON 

ENTER THE GENERALS 

REFLECTIONS ON AMERICA’S POST-9/11 DOMESTIC SPYING PROGRAM 

Tuesday marks the 17th anniversary of 9/11. Fifteen citizens of our Middle 

Eastern ally, Saudi Arabia, organized the hijacking of four airliners leaving 

Boston’s Logan Airport. Two planes hit New York’s World Trade Center, one 

struck the Pentagon, the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania while passengers 

attempted to re-take command. All told, 2,996 people died. 

The financial and military mastermind of 9/11 was Osama bin Laden, son of an 

influential Saudi family living in Afghanistan. 

Our intelligence agencies missed the 9/11 clues. George W. Bush’s Republican 

administration inaugurated a vast domestic surveillance program, intruding into the 

personal lives of Americans. Democrats largely embraced the spying while paying lip 

service to civil liberties. Attorney General Eric Holder continued the eavesdropping 

during President Obama’s administration. 

Republicans Ron Paul and his son Rand stood alone within their party defending 

civil liberties. Democrats opposing the government eavesdropping, like Oregon 

Sen. Ron Wyden, were thwarted by Dianne Feinstein who in following years served 

as chair or as ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Feinstein 

advocates the modern British argument for surveillance: “If you have nothing to hide 

then you have nothing to fear”. 

Congress winked its eye and looked away as elected civilians relinquished civil 

liberties to unelected generals who oversaw the secret domestic spying. 

Foremost among these generals were Keith Alexander, who became National 

Security Agency (NSA) chief and James Clapper, who had climbed the ranks of the 

secret military spying community to become director of national intelligence. 

Generals are not elected. They are military professionals who are duty bound to 

carry out constitutionally legal orders issued by elected officials. They are obligated to 

tell the truth in public when asked by the people’s representatives. This distinguishes 

democracy from military dictatorship. 

In a 2012 congressional hearing, Alexander was asked about allegations 

from former NSA officials that the NSA engages in collection of voice and digital 

information of US citizens. He replied “...the NSA does not collect that data.” He was 

lying. 

At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing the same year, Wyden asked Clapper a 

similar question, “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds 

of millions of Americans?” Clapper replied, “No” and, after a pause he added “Not 

wittingly” 

In 2013, Edward Snowden, an electronic security contractor employed by US 

intelligence agencies, was disturbed by the lies being told to the public; he disclosed 

the NSA’s spying programs. The lie was exposed! Attorney Glenn Greenwald and 

filmmaker Laura Poitras explained the lurid details in print and on film. 

The whole world was watching. Nevertheless, despite their lies told to Congress, 

both generals continued their secret military activity with bi-partisan support 

throughout the Obama administration. 

Now, after five years, Clapper attempts to explain himself in his new book, “Facts 

and Fears.” The title suggests that a reader might learn some new information that 

might place military snooping programs in a new perspective. We might expect to 

learn new insights in the history, methodology and governance of vast volumes of 

intelligence collected by governments worldwide. Instead, Clapper offers a personal 

narrative of his rise through the military ranks as a go along-get along kind of guy. 

Clapper’s defense is greater offense. His principal targets are the heroes of the 

story, Snowden, who realized he was compelled to expose the assault on freedom, and 

Greenwald, who told Snowden’s story to the world. Clapper then attacks Wyden for 

asking the domestic spying question in the first place. Finally, he claims he was not 

under oath when he answered Wyden’s question. 

In 2016 the Democratic presidential candidate, despite a $1.4 billion war chest, 

lost the Electoral College vote to Donald Trump while winning the popular vote. 

Democratic strategists failed to allocate resources to states whose electoral votes 

were critical to Democratic victory. Invoking secret evidence, the Democratic 

establishment claims that the election was thrown to Trump by foreign governments. 

When pressed for concrete evidence the Democrats cite Clapper’s statements, made 

without substantive evidence. 

Perhaps the last word on Clapper’s career is best given by Wyden, one of the few 

voices of cleanliness throughout this repugnant affair. He said, “During Director 

Clapper’s tenure, senior intelligence officials engaged in a deception spree regarding 

mass surveillance. Top officials, officials who reported to Director Clapper, repeatedly 

misled the American people and even lied to them.” n 

The author is a member of the California Democratic Party Central Committee. He and JPL colleagues challenged 

background snooping of federal employees in court. The JPL employees lost their case at the US Supreme Court.

ATTORNEY ACCUSES ALTADENA LIBRARY BOARD OF VIOLATING STATE OPEN MEETING LAW VIA EMAIL 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

Emails and other documents obtained by the Pasadena Weekly 

indicate the Altadena Library Board of Trustees may have 

violated the state’s open meeting law more than 80 times since 

May 30, 2017. 

In a possible example of this, personal emails of trustees 

indicate the board failed to post online agendas and minutes for a 

meeting that was scheduled to take place at Loma Alta Park on Aug. 

17, 2017, and another meeting at the park’s recreation center the 

following month. 

In court documents, attorney Dale Gronemeier alleges the board 

violated the Ralph M. Brown Act 83 times, mostly in chain emails. 

Gronemeier is representing embattled Library Director Mindy 

Kittay, who went on sick leave from January to May, at which time 

she was placed on paid administrative leave. 

Since her departure, the library district has been run on an 

interim basis by Ryan Roy. Roy, the PW has learned, is leaving the 

post on Sept. 21. 

“I am writing to inform you that I will be resigning from my 

position with the Altadena Library District as the Acting District 

Director (and the Public Services Director),” wrote Roy in a letter 

obtained by the Pasadena Weekly. “My last day of work will be 

September 21.” 

“The library now has no staff who could competently run the 

library with Ryan Roy leaving,” Gronemeier said via email. “The 

board continues to fiddle while the library burns.” 

The board was scheduled to meet in a special meeting 

Wednesday, Sept, 5, at the Altadena Library to discuss the 

appointment of a new acting director. 

The alleged open meeting law violations were revealed after 

a Public Records Act (PRA) request resulted in the release of 

thousands of messages to and from several board members from 

May 30, 2017 to Feb. 26. So far, one former board member, John 

McDonald, has not turned over his personal emails, according to 

Gronemeier, who has filed a lawsuit to obtain those documents. 

McDonald left the five-member board earlier this year. 

Along with facing civil legal action, board members could find 

EMERGENCY 

SITUATION 

LATEST SUICIDE ATTEMPT 

PROMPTS CITY MANAGER 

TO EXPAND FENCING ON 

COLORADO STREET BRIDGE 

Hours after police spent 13 hours successfully 

convincing a woman not to jump off the 

Colorado Street Bridge, City Manager Steve 

Mermell declared an emergency and authorized 

the city to spend $295,932 to expand the 

fencing along both sides of the 1,400-foot long 

landmark structure. 

Mermell invoked a section of the Pasadena 

Municipal Code which allows for an immediate 

purchase of material or services without 

competitive bidding at the lowest obtainable 

price. A report is required if the amount exceeds 

$75,000. Mermell said a report would be sent to 

the City Council. 

“We have had four deaths from the Colorado 

Street Bridge this year,” Mermell said. “Across 

the country suicides are increasing, and we’ve 

seen an increase here locally. While we are 

moving with a request for proposals to design 

new barriers, we cannot leave the status quo in 

place until that process is completed and new, 

permanent railing installed. 

“Therefore, in the interests of public safety, 

on an emergency basis as set forth in Pasadena 

Municipal Code section 4.08.150, the city will 

extend the alcove fencing the entire length of the 

bridge and close off the ends as best as possible 

to prevent people from walking out from the end 

of the bridge.” 

Although police were successful in 

convincing the woman not to jump, the fencing 

hampered their efforts to pull her from the 

bridge. The woman managed to stay behind 

the fencing to avoid police. The marathon 

negotiations began Sunday night and ended just 

before noon Monday. 

In July, two bodies were discovered 

underneath the bridge. Another body was found 

on Aug. 28. 

Nine people died after jumping from the 

bridge in 2017. In the midst of the increase 

in jumpers, city officials installed 10-foot-tall 

fencing at the alcoves of the bridge to prevent 

suicides, but failed to close off the ends of bridge. 

Days after the fencing was installed a man walked 

through an opening and leapt to his death. 

Concerns have risen since the City Council 

approved a project that has allowed Habitat for 

Humanity to build nine homes and a playground 

just beneath the 105-year-old bridge. 

According to a national study published last 

year that compared the effectiveness of various 

structural suicide prevention methods on 

bridges, including netting and barriers, barriers 

led to an 82 percent reduction rate in suicides.

BRIEFS 

‘DIAMOND’ IN THE 

ROUGH 

OLD PASADENA MANAGEMENT 

DISTRICT HIRES HOMELESS 

OUTREACH SPECIALIST 


Old Pasadena has hired an outreach specialist to help 

fill the needs of the city’s homeless population.. 

William Huang 

Diamond (specialists do not reveal their last names) serves as a liaison 

with the city’s social service networks, like Union Station, and in turn works to 

connect people in need with services that helps them move into housing. 

“She will be contacting and interfacing with the homeless community and 

working to get them into programs that provide services,” said Old Pasadena 

Management District CEO Steve Mulheim. 

Overall, Pasadena saw an 18-percent increase in its homeless population, 

jumping from 575 in 2017 to 677 this year. 

Some local business owners have complained about more aggressive 

homeless people panhandling in Old Pasadena. 

In 2016, the Pasadena City Council passed an ordinance aimed at reducing, 

aggressive panhandling by making it “unlawful for any person to impede, hinder 

or obstruct another person’s progress for the purpose of soliciting, asking 

or begging for money or to approach a person in a threatening, coercive or 

menacing manner for the purpose of soliciting, asking or begging for money.” 

According to a memo by Pasadena Housing Director William Huang, the 

city’s homeless senior citizen population is increasing at an alarming rate. 

That population of people 50 and older has increased by 65 percent — from 

153 to 253 over the past two years. The San Gabriel Valley saw a 116 percent 

increase — from 188 to 406 — over the past year, according to Huang. 

Huang said the increases are largely due to economic woes as costs 

continue to rise at rates that make basic housing unaffordable for middle class 

and poor people. 

Diamond is employed by Block by Block, the same company that employs 

the city’s yellow-shirted ambassadors that patrol Old Pasadena by foot, bicycle 

and Segway. 

A recent graduate of UC Riverside, Diamond will not wear the familiar yellow 

garb, but instead operate in street clothes. n 

RIGHT ON TARGET 

COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF PASADENA ROVING 

ARCHERS 


The Second District Court of Appeals has ruled that an agreement between 

the city and the Pasadena Roving Archers (PRA) is valid, shooting down an 

appeal filed by a neighborhood group opposed to having an archery range in 

the Lower Arroyo. 

PRA and the Stewards of Public Land (SPL), which includes former 

Pasadena Center Operating Co. Board member Tom Seifert, former PCC 

Board of Trustees candidate Dianne Philibosian, author Ann Scheid, and 

activist Claire Bogaard, wife of former Mayor Bill Bogaard, have been 

battling over the PRA’s use of the Lower Arroyo for several years. 

In 2015, the City Council 

approved an ordinance which gives 

the city manager control over the 

facility and requires archers to 

complete a city-approved safety and 

training program. 

The SPL filed the lawsuit in 2015, 

claiming that an agreement with PRA and the city should be voided because 

the City Council violated parts of the California Environmental Quality Act 

(CEQA) by not performing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). 

“Given the history of the development of the Pasadena area described in 

the [Lower Arroyo Master Plan,] in the Lower Arroyo Master Plan, and in the 

city’s application for listing of the Lower Arroyo in the Register of Historic 

Places, it is evident that the archery range predated many of the adjacent 

residences,” the judges wrote in their opinion issued on Thursday, Aug. 30. 

Residents living around the range have made multiple claims about 

arrows landing in their backyards. The Pasadena Police Department has 

said several times that they have no reports of such incidents or complaints. 

Some neighbors have claimed that 78 arrows have been found on 

residences close to the range in recent years, but police merely failed to 

document and file appropriate reports in a number of instances. 

In 2014, Scheid and Seifert signed a petition that incorrectly claimed 

that the city was considering turning over 18 acres of land to the PRA for its 

exclusive use. The petition was posted at on the group’s website and signed 

by conservationist Tim Brick and Philibosian. 

The West Pasadena Residents’ Association and the San Rafael 

Neighborhood Association have both announced their support for the 

Pasadena Roving Archers, which currently use the range. n

themselves testifying before 

the Los Angeles County Civil 

Grand Jury. At the urging of 

a local activist, Sussy Nemer, 

senior field deputy to Supervisor 

Kathryn Barger, said Barger 

would recommend the matter 

to the civil grand jury. “At your 

request, Supervisor Barger 

will suggest to the Grand 

Jury that they look into the 

Altadena Library District,” 

Nemer wrote to Altadena 

resident and local activist Rene 

Amy. “Additionally, we will be 

referring these allegations to 

the District Attorney’s Public 

Integrity Division. They have the ability to investigate 

Brown Act and other possible violations as well as 

other issues related to elected individuals or bodies,” 

Nemer wrote. 

The civil grand jury has investigative powers 

over the operations, accounts and records of local 

government agencies, including school districts, 

Altadena is an unincorporated community governed 

by the county. 

The alleged Brown Act violations are listed 

in a pleading compiled by Gronemeier, who is 

representing Kittay. The pleading demands that the 

library board cease and desist violating the law. 

According to Gronemeier, the board violated the 

Brown Act by conducting illegal meetings via email 

and failing to vote in public. The board, Gronemeier 

alleges, also attempted to restrict the public’s right to 

speak during board meetings. 

Accoring to Gronemeier, the first violation 

occurred in May 2017 involving Kittay’s annual 

performance review when Board member Ira 

Bershatsky solicited feedback from other board 

members in a chain email. 

The Brown Act prohibits a board majority from 

having any meetings or discussions outside of 

agendized board meetings where the public can 

comment. 

On June 27, 2017 Bershatsky sent an email with the 

subject “Your thoughts on this agenda item for next 

month” to the entire board. 

In another case, board members appeared to be 

setting Kittay up to take the blame if issues arose on 

an agenda for a special meeting. 

“I suggest Mindy prepare the entire agenda and 

the notice for the special meeting. This way we 

are protected if the agenda or notice is missing an 

operative word,” Trustee Armando Zambrano to his 

fellow board members. 

Gronemeier said the two sides fell out after Kittay 

began warning board members about violating 

the Brown Act. After Kittay reminded members to 

operate within the law, Bershatsky wrote, “I suggest 

that you remember that you work for us. We do not 

work for you.” 

Kittay went out on medical leave on Jan. 23 and

Mindy Kittay 

still has not returned to her job. 

“I just want to return to work 

and continue to do what I am 

passionate about,’ said Kittay in 

a statement released in April by 

Gronemeier and his law partner 

Elbie Hickambottom Jr.. The 

attorneys have advised Kittay to 

not speak with the press. 

“I love this community and I 

feel that I do have much more to 

contribute,” Kittay said through 

them. 

Kittay came to the library in 

2014 and initially ruffled feathers 

of some staff members who 

claimed she was too demanding 

in her desire to see changes made. 

Eventually, she won over some staff members, but 

then found herself opposed by board members after 

she began calling them out for allegedly breaking the 

law by violating the Brown Act. 

“The former male majority was incensed at her 

standing up for the open government principles 

embodied in the Brown Act,” Gronemeier wrote. 

“What happened as a result is that the former male 

majority’s governance went underground because 

the dirty work of retaliating against Director Kittay 

and governing in violation of the Brown Act’s 

transparency principles could not operate.” 

In an Oct. 26 email, board members discussed via 

email the possibility of limiting public comments to 

Altadena residents. 

The board also may have held two secret meetings 

at the Loma Alta Park recreation center on Aug. 10 

and Sept. 20, 2017. 

According to the pleading, the first meeting was 

attended by McDonald, Bershatsky, Zambrano and 

Adilila Zelada-Garcia. Trustee Gwendolyn McMullins 

did not participate in the meeting but did participate 

in the email deliberations that set up the meeting. 

Although notice of the meeting was posted at a local 

library, so far there is no record of the meeting on the 

library district’s website. 

“McDonald wanted the meeting to ascertain 

board sentiment for ‘a motion to not renew her 

[Director Kittay’s] contract.’ The Board deliberated 

at the closed meeting on false assertions made by 

John McDonald that there were irregularities in 

the compensation paid employees, including the 

compensation of Director Kittay,” Gronemeier wrote. 

A second meeting was scheduled for Sept. 20 

to discuss Kittay’s contract and personnel action. 

No minutes have ever been posted on the library’s 

website. 

“While admitting the board has systematically 

operated unlawfully may be a bitter pill to swallow, 

the library board needs to move toward truth and 

reconciliation, acknowledge its past wrong-doing, and 

bring Director Kittay back to resume its leadership,” 

Gronemeier said. “If it doesn’t, the library’s downward 

spiral will accelerate.” n

GLOBAL WARMING 

MAVERICK 

WILL JOHN MCCAIN BE THE LAST REPUBLICAN LEADER IN THE 

SENATE TO ADDRESS THE REALITY OF CLIMATE CHANGE? 

BY TIM PROFETA 

“He was just doing his job.” 

When I asked a longtime staffer to Sen. John McCain why the senator battled to address 

climate change in the early 2000s, that was his answer. 

A simple answer, but one essential to understanding how McCain led those early efforts 

to combat the challenge when no one else would step forward. 

Although others had brought climate change as an issue to the Senate, McCain, a 

Republican, and Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman were the first to bring climate 

legislation that aimed to reduce emissions. That attempt was their bipartisan 2003 Climate 

Stewardship Act. As Lieberman’s counsel for the environment, I helped write this 

legislation. 

Science Informed Policy 

In 2000, McCain was the chair of the Senate Committee for Commerce, Science and 

Transportation, which had jurisdiction over the US Global Climate Research Program. 

That program, established in 1990, aimed to assist “the Nation and the world to understand, 

assess, predict and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global 

change.” 

McCain wanted to oversee the program’s activities and began a series of hearings on 

it. He sought out and gained insights from institutions he trusted in the hearings — including 

the U.S. Navy, McCain’s former professional home and a hub of defining research 

at the time — to learn more about climate science. 

Armed with knowledge of the science, McCain proceeded to “do his job” to take on 

the challenge posed by climate change. 

The hearings he called sparked conversations that led him to develop and co-sponsor, 

with Lieberman, the first legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 

industries across the economy. 

The legislation attempted to institute a market-based program to reduce emissions 

from electricity, manufacturing and transportation sectors of the economy. Those 

sectors represented 85 percent of US emissions that at that time contributed to climate 

change. 

This legislative step was particularly difficult for McCain as a Republican. Climate 

change legislation was, and remains, a tough political challenge as it requires regulating 

the sources of energy that underlie so much of our economy. 

In 2000, the only recorded vote in the US Senate on climate change was a 1997 resolu- 



GLOBAL WARMING MAVERICK 


tion that passed unanimously. It was an effort to stop the US from agreeing to what 

lawmakers believed to be unfavorable terms in the Kyoto Protocol. 

Many key Republican constituencies were at the 

time particularly resistant to any form of greenhouse 

gas regulation 

As the senators began to pull together their proposal, 

building support for the bill required concessions 

to the political needs of certain senators. But 

for McCain, who had a history of bipartisan problemsolving, 

the only prodding he needed was the scientific 

evidence and his responsibility to respond to it. 

Advocating for Their Bill 

Sens. McCain and Lieberman decided that the best 

way to change the politics of the issue was to force 

senators to become educated and accountable for 

their positions. 

To do this, they drew on a political strategy that 

had worked before for them with their bipartisan 

campaign finance bill. They directed their staff to 

develop legislation in consultation with all political 

players and bring it to a vote as soon as possible. The 

support of a range of interests meant that politicians 

could more easily support the bill, and the quick vote 

was designed to force the senators to take a position. 

The opportunity for a vote arose in mid-2003 as 

the Senate turned to comprehensive energy legislation. 

And in that effort, McCain’s tactical skill and 

resolve were on display. 

The 2003 Senate debate about energy policy was 

the first major legislation that Majority Leader Bill 

Frist, a Tennessee Republican, managed. It represented 

an important effort to secure the new leader’s 

authority over his colleagues. 

But it did not go well. The bill floundered on the 

floor. In order to get it passed, Frist engaged in legislative maneuvering that included 

asking for a rare thing, the Senate’s unanimous vote, or “consent,” to replace the energy 

legisation with the previous year’s bill that had passed the Senate. It was a legislative 

“Hail Mary.” 

There are few moments of true political leverage in the Senate like a “must pass” 

request for unanimous consent. The only way for Frist to achieve it was for all 100 senators 

to sign off. That meant each senator had the power to stop the bill. 

McCain recognized this moment of political leverage and seized it to advance the 

2003 climate change legislation. He and Lieberman would say no to Frist’s request for 

unanimous consent, unless Frist would allow a vote on their bill. 

After I informed the Senate leadership that McCain and Lieberman might have an 

objection, I sprinted to the staff phones and called McCain’s office — a Republican was 

better for holding a bill being managed by a Republican. 

Within minutes, McCain was on the floor of the Senate, 

demanding that his climate bill be scheduled for a vote before 

John McCain anything could move forward. His request was granted, and 

Sen. Frist promised an up-or-down vote on the bill before the 

end of the year. 

By resisting the political pressure from his own majority 

leader, Sen. McCain demonstrated his political spine. And in 

doing so, he showed his tactical skill, negotiating a commitment 

for a recorded vote on the final passage of the climate bill. 

One hundred senators would have to publicly state their 

position on climate change. 

Recharging the Climate Debate 

Three months later, McCain and Lieberman brought their 

legislation to the floor and secured 43 votes in favor, plus the 

pledge of support from absent Sen. John Edwards. 

It was a loss, but still important as the first step in the 

McCain-Lieberman strategy to get lawmakers to declare where 

they stood on climate change. 

Forty-four senators were now on the record favoring the bill, 

and the remaining 56 could be held politically accountable. And 

it was a far cry from the 95-0 vote count against the Kyoto climate 

change treaty from 1997 that stood previously as a litmus 

test on the issue. 

Despite its failure to pass, the McCain-Lieberman bill 

breathed life into legislative efforts to respond to climate 

change. 

The momentum for climate legislation built through the 

decade, with the development of the 2005 and 2007 Climate 

Stewardship Innovation Acts, neither of which passed. The 

2008 presidential race was significant in that both candidates, 

Sens. McCain and Obama, supported serious climate change 

measures. 

With President Obama’s election, it looked like 2009 marked the moment the nation 

would finally address climate change concretely. But a combination of political polarization, 

leadership failures and economic recession conspired to frustrate the climate 

legislation of 2009-2010. 

Since the 2010 midterm elections, climate legislation has not re-emerged. 

As a result, we now have arrived at a point not unlike 2001, with political paralysis on 

Capitol Hill on the issue of climate change. Right now, there is no clear legislative leader 

who, like McCain, will step up and tackle such a politically risky problem. Perhaps we’ll 

get the chance to see another bipartisan leader emerge.

Meeting a Need 

ALHAMBRA’S NEXT REPUBLIC ARTISAN KITCHEN IS ONTO SOMETHING GOOD 

BY EVELYN GARCIA | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

Every now and then it’s fun to imagine trying a hip, popular 

restaurant in downtown Los Angeles; that is before I’m 

quickly reminded of the traffic and lack of decent parking 

anywhere in the city. Not to mention there is usually a long wait 

for a table in those kinds of places, so by the time your meal finally 

arrives, you’re already an hour and a half into the excursion. 

Fortunately for me, I recently had that sought-after, trendy 

dining experience, only without the hiccups, at Next Republic 

Artisan Kitchen, much closer to home in Alhambra. With its dark 

interior, palm leaf wallpaper, wooden tables, sleek black chairs 

and modern light fixtures, the new Asian fusion restaurant gives 

foodies Instagram-worthy content as a bonus to amazing food. 

Next Republic’s own Instagram page features stunning photos of 

their dishes that can make anyone want to pay a visit. Although 

they had a soft opening in December, their official grand opening 

was on Aug. 18. 

Since its soft opening, Next Republic has changed its menu 

items quite a bit after hiring a chef consultant who modified their 

offerings. New items are easy to spot on the menu as they are 

labeled “new,” and items that have been removed like the ramen 

burger are only remembered through past Yelp reviews. 

Now, is there anything better than cheese? Before you mull 

that question over much longer, the correct answer is no. There 

is nothing better. So when my partner and I saw Korean Chilli 

Cheese Chicken Bites ($12) on the appetizer menu, it was an easy 

and quick decision to order. This shareable appetizer is essentially 

hot wings on a bed of thick, melted cheese. I have to admit, I’m 

not a huge hot wing lover, and the hot sauce tasted like something 

generic you could find at a grocery store, but the cheese and 

chicken bite combination gave this dish an exceptional flavor.

MEETING A NEED 


It’s important to note that Next Republic has one 

of the most extensive “shareable” menus I’ve seen, 

with more than 20 options, most under $10. Showing 

off its “fusion” cuisine, they offer gyoza ($7), tuna 

rolls ($6.50), popcorn chicken ($6.25), onion rings 

($4.50), poke nachos ($8), cream cheese wontons 

($5.75), pizza tater tots ($7), tacos ($7), and potato 

wedges ($5) to name a few. Our second appetizer was 

the pork belly buns ($7.50) — all less impressive than 

the chicken bites, though still tasty. 

As my main course, I ordered the chicken pan 

fried noodles ($11.50) and relished every bite. They 

had a crisp texture and greasy goodness that would 

make them the perfect meal following a hangover. 

The thin noodles also have a decent chicken to veggie 

ratio, and can be ordered with beef or veggies only as 

a vegetarian option. Although noodles in any form are 

one of my favorite things to eat, these were so filling 

and heavy that I had to take most of the plate home to 

enjoy later. 

Every one of the burgers on the menu is labeled 

new, so my partner had the waiter suggest which is 

the best, to which he quickly answered the truffle 

burger ($14) is one of the most popular choices. It 

was a pleasant surprise that the burger was made 

medium rare by default, as all their burgers are 

cooked, unless ordered otherwise. The burger was 

flavorful with tasty beef held together with an egg, 

truffle sauce and cheddar cheese between two thick 

toasted buns. Overall, most of the entrees are rather 

heavy, so let this serve as a warning before you order 

one too many items like we did. Other notable entrees 

include the Japanese Miso Yakiniku burger ($12) and 

pasta that can be ordered in penne or spaghetti with 

a choice of kimchi pork ($13.50), bacon ($12.50), as 

well as shrimp or chicken pesto ($13.50/ $12.50). Next 

Republic also has teppan on the menu, with choices 

of meat, sauces, and sides ranging from $16.50 for 

chicken to $22 for the marinated beef short ribs. 

We made it in time for their happy hour which 

goes from 3 to 6 p.m., then from 9 p.m. to close and 

boasts a few of their shareable dishes as well as 

decent beverage options. Our waiter was friendly 

and eager to answer questions to help us decide 

on drinks. I ordered the lychee white sangria ($7) 

which had a lychee and slice of orange garnish, 

and tasted sweet and refreshing. While they do 

offer a hefty list of beers, a more unique variety to 

solidify their wide-ranging menu would make it all 

the better. For those who are not into wine or beer, 

they have a few interesting cocktails, including 

“My Cup of Tea,” ($9) made with honey, oolong 

tea, and sapporo, and “Beauty and the East,” ($9) 

which contains lychee, sabe gold rum, butterfly 

pea, and mint. 

Although they only have two dessert options 

— Creme brulee ($6.25) and Nutella cheesecake 

($6), there is plenty to try in downtown Alhambra 

if you’re not ready to call it a night. While it seems 

Next Republic Artisan Kitchen is still trying to figure 

out what works best, it’s clear that they’re close and 

already on to something amazing with great service, 

an expansive menu, and decor as stylish and pleasing 

to the eye as their food.

REASON VS. REALITY 

Thomas Paine Society hosts Town Hall meeting Sunday 

Join members of the Thomas Paine Society for a 

special Town Hall meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 

9, on “Reason Versus Reality in Today’s World,” featuring 

Thomas Paine, played by Ian Ruskin, Dr. Linda Handelman, 

a professor of philosophy, and a surprise special guest at 

Castle Green, 99 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena. 

In a world of instant information, filled with contradictory 

claims about every topic — politics, health, the 

Ian Ruskin as Thomas Paine 

environment — it has become difficult to know what to 

believe. In this Town Hall ways that ordinary citizens, can 

acquire knowledge about the world around us that can be applied with confidence in 

our personal and public lives will be explored. 

Are there “self-evident” truths, immutable and eternal, like those described in the 

Declaration of Independence? Are there “Laws of Nature” — also described in that 

document — that can be followed? Is it possible to have a public dialogue about the 

important political issues we face today based on truth and reason or are we now in 

the “Age of Unreason?” 

Handelman, a recently retired professor of philosophy, founded the Philosopher- 

Citizen Institute at Pasadena City College, bringing students and the public together 

to create environments where people can think clearly and carefully about complex 

social issues. 

Ruskin, a producer, writer and actor who has worked extensively in theater, 

television and film in England and Los Angeles, is author of the play “To Begin the 

World Over Again: The Life of Thomas Paine.” The film version, which was directed by 

legendary filmmaker Haskell Wexler, has aired for two years on PBS. 

A $5 donation is requested at the door. 

For more information, call the society at (626) 796-4529 or visit

HARSH TONES 

TURN YOUR INNER VOICE FROM PUNITIVE TO LOVING IN THE FIGHT 

AGAINST DEPRESSION 

Dear Patti, 

As an only child, I had a difficult time growing up and often felt lonely. Although I knew my parents 

dearly loved me, my father had serious health problems, which often prevented my mother from being able 

to spend much time with me. We lost my dad seven years ago, which was unbelievably painful. I’m now 26, 

have a great boyfriend, wonderful friends and family and am at a time in my life when I should be happy, 

exploring life and having fun. 

I know that’s what my father would want and yet, no matter how hard I try, I keep falling into a sad 

mood and becoming miserable and fatigued. My recent medical exam says I’m physically healthy, but I 

was diagnosed with depression; specifically, dysthymia. My doctor prescribed psychotherapy and an antidepressant 

medication. So far I’ve had two counseling sessions, which have already helped a little. 

What exactly is dysthymia? What causes it and how is it typically treated? I feel helpless when I feel 

like this and keep asking myself, “Why can’t I pull out of it?” I get so disgusted with myself for continually 

reacting this way. 

— Sophia 

Dear Sophia, 

The disorder you’re dealing with is a chronic form of depression and its main sign is a low, dark, or sad 

mood most days for at least two years. Dysthymia is less extreme and less intense than major depressive 

disorder; its symptoms, however, are similar. While major depression often occurs in episodes, dysthymia is 

less debilitating but — like major depression — can result in impaired functioning in work, social and personal 

areas, and interfere with the ability to enjoy life and find interest in things you used to find pleasurable. You 

may have difficulty concentrating, be indecisive, feel hopeless, negative and have low self-esteem, as well as 

overall feelings of inadequacy. Your appetite and weight may increase or decrease and there are often sleep 

disturbances. Although its exact cause is unknown, dysthymia appears to a combination of genetic, biochemical, 

environmental and psychological factors. 

Since you’re suffering from depression, you may also have an inner voice that’s harsh and demands that you 

be perfect. If this is true, try to replace your punitive voice with a loving one by gently reminding yourself to be 

warm, kind and understanding concerning what you’re experiencing. To counteract these negative thoughts, 

you’ll need empathy, acceptance, respect and love from yourself, as well as loved ones. 

Learn to be nonjudgmental about how you’re feeling. Take care of yourself just as you would a cherished 

loved one. Give full attention to the thoughts and feelings that keep coming up to consciousness. When in pain 

and despair, you don’t have to do anything special; just allow yourself to experience your feelings and avoid 

having a dismissive attitude toward yourself. Depression is just what it sounds like — feelings “depressed in.” 

Imagine you have a mountain of accumulated feelings on your shoulders; every time you face a feeling that has 

been weighing you down, the load lightens a little. 

For many patients, a combination of medication and a solid relationship with a mental health professional 

is the most effective course of treatment. Psychodynamic, insight-oriented or interpersonal psychotherapy can 

help identify the feelings behind your symptoms. No matter how painful those feelings may be, exploring them 

will help resolve emotional conflicts, personal disputes, and issues of loss and separation, especially those 

derived from childhood experience. Supportive based therapy provides advice, reassurance, sympathy, and 

education about the disorder. 

It’s important to communicate freely with your therapist. Try not to edit your thoughts and feelings in 

therapy, even if you express something that five seconds later you realize you don’t mean. Explore anything 

that naturally comes up even if released immediately or integrated later with more rational thoughts. Joining a 

support group may be beneficial, too, in learning stress reduction techniques. 

This is clearly a difficult time for you but through the challenging experience of facing and experiencing 

your feelings, more depth, empathy and deeper love for yourself and others can develop. n

HIS WILDEST DREAMS 

MOODY BLUES LEADER JUSTIN HAYWARD LOOKS BACK AT HIS 50-YEAR CAREER 

SATURDAY AT THE ROSE 


As the lead singer and songwriter for the Moody Blues, Justin 

Hayward has spent the past 50 years confounding expectations. 

First, Hayward shot the band to fame with the incredibly 

haunting yet beautiful hit “Nights in White Satin,” singing of romantic 

regret between youthful affairs at the age of 21. 

The epic orchestral sound of that single, as well as its 1967 album 

“Days of Future Passed,” made it a favorite of NASA astronauts, 

who listened to it on numerous space missions aboard the space 

shuttle Atlantis. Yet even that sound was not what it seemed to be. 

It was created not by a multitude of musicians, but an early form of 

synthesizer known as a Mellotron, which layered tracks of sounds 

into a lush end result. 

P.25 

Justin Hayward 

After dominating the charts through the mid-1970s, the Moody 

Blues were dealt a setback (along with most quality rock music) by 

the disco era. After a decade off the charts, and now in their 40s, 

they succeeded at making a massive comeback in 1986 by crafting 

an inventive video for their song “Your Wildest Dreams” that became 

a huge MTV hit. 

Hayward has maintained a thriving career ever since, blending 

eight solo albums with a total of 13 Moody Blues albums while traversing 

the globe at age 71. Bringing his impressive, Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame legacy to the stage of The Rose nightclub in Pasadena 

Saturday night, Hayward recently took time to look back on his 

career from England.

HIS WILDEST DREAMS 


“I get more interest in ‘Dreams of Future 

Passed’ than ever now,” says Hayward. “It’s 

surprising the amount of young songwriters that 

speak to me about that album. I think it’s maybe 

because it didn’t have any kind of commercial 

pretension or wasn’t made to try to sell anything. 

We were just very lucky. 

”That whole period for me was just such a 

creative time for music — everything from The 

Beatles and The Beach Boys trying to outdo each 

other, through to The Kinks,” he continues. “I 

think we all considered ourselves lucky to happen 

to be in London when that was really all going 

on. Then we were lucky enough to be brought 

to America by Bill Graham in ’68, introducing us 

to a whole new audience. The Beatles were the 

leaders, opening the door for the rest of us.” 

One other surprising fact Hayward revealed 

was that “Days of Future Passed” was not originally 

intended to be a run-of-the-mill album release. 

Rather, it was created to be a demo album 

for the Decca record label’s special products 

division to show how impressive stereo would 

sound with rock and roll, in the hopes of selling 

more stereos for their consumer division. 

“It was the great days when record companies 

gave you lousy royalties but had lots of studio 

time and big studios,” recalls Hayward. “They 

said, ‘Just get on with it, do what you want to do, 

there’s the studio and engineer.’ That’s how it 

worked for us.” 

Hayward has spent most of the past 20 years 

living and working in Italy, with a studio in 

Genoa. He prefers the arrangement over working 

in England, explaining that studio time in 

London and other British hotbeds has become 

too expensive, noting that numerous veteran 

musicians have also moved to his region near the 

Mediterranean Sea. 

He tours with a small band, backed mainly by 

guitarist Mike Dawes and vocalist Julie Ragins, 

as he tries to spotlight the magical essence of his 

songs. 

“We’re just a small crew and it’s mostly 

acoustic, with just a little bit of electric, but 

no drums,” says Hayward. “I like to hear every 

nuance. I’m doing these songs as they were 

written, like the original demos I made, and 

hopefully some of the stories behind them are 

interesting. The Moodies’ shows are big productions, 

with two drummers, lots of amplifiers, 

very loud. There are lots of those songs that just 

don’t work in that context. But I get to do things 

in my solo show complemented by that way of 

doing it.” 

In the end, Hayward is a content man, having 

managed to maintain a 47-year marriage despite 

traveling the world and finally being validated 

by the Rock Hall of Fame in 2016, more than two 

decades after the band first became eligible. 

“Being a part of the Rock and Roll Hall of 

Fame makes the world seem like a different 

place, but it’s great to be part of and I’m very 

pleased,” says Hayward. “It’s kind of a temple to 

all the stuff I’ve ever loved. 

“I’m going to sing while I can,” Hayward 

continues. “I don’t know what the future holds. 

I haven’t really got any plans except to make 

new music, and that’s what I’m going to do next 

year. I’m working on the road now, I’ll keep my 

little crew together, and that suits me just fine.” n 

Justin Hayward performs at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Rose, 

245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $28 to $48. Call

ONCE UNPREDICTABLE BLUES-SOUL SHOWMAN ARTHUR ADAMS 

PLAYS THE MIXX SATURDAY 

PHOTO: Emmanuel De Zorzi 

is more,” as they say, 

and guitarist Arthur 

“Less 

Adams learned the 

power of that maxim early from 

listening to one of its foremost 

practitioners: B.B. King. Like 

King and countless other blues 

and soul elder statesmen, Adams 

has been circling back to a more 

minimal style in his playing, 

after decades of establishing 

a reputation as a wild, 

unpredictable player onstage. 

A 1940 Christmas baby, 

Adams grew up in western 

Tennessee singing in the 

church choir — an influence 

still discernible in the cadence 

and fervor of his vocal delivery 

— and for a short time toured 

regionally in a gospel combo with 

his cousins. He started playing in 

blues bands, but after college and 

a series of touring misadventures 

decided to go where the work 

was: LA. That work ethic has 

determined much of the shape 

of his career, and contributed 

mightily to his stylistic range. 

Landing here in the mid- 

’60s, Adams became a busy 

guitarist for hire on sessions for 

films, television, and a broad 

range of artists (the Jackson 5, 

Quincy Jones, Hugh Masekela 

and Nancy Wilson, to name a 

few). He recorded and produced 

numerous singles but not until 

the next decade did he make 

any albums. The earthy, Bill 

Withers-style grooves of 1972’s 

“It’s Private Tonight” reflected 

the times (and perhaps the 

influence of co-producers Bonnie 

Raitt and Tommy LiPuma), while 

1975’s “Home Brew” and 1977’s 

“Midnight Serenade” signaled the 

funk and soul directions Adams 

was taking. Several of those 

tracks, along with his number 

one UK disco hit, 1981’s “You Got 

the Floor,” comprise the bonusdisc 

half of his 2017 release 

“Look What the Blues Has Done 

for Me.” 

Those older recordings 

provide an interesting contrast 

to the newer material in the 

album’s first half, performed by 

Adams with fellow blues and 

gospel veterans such as James 

Montgomery and Leo Bud Welch. 

Surveying almost five decades of 

work as a sideman and writing 

songs recorded by the likes of 

King and Nina Simone, “Look 

What the Blues Has Done for Me” 

finds Adams striving to make a 

statement. 

In the late 1990s and early 

’00s, Adams was a regular 

live-wire presence at King’s 

eponymously named nightclub 

in Universal City and other 

area venues like the Langham 

in Pasadena and the longgone 

Cozy’s in Sherman Oaks. 

Appearances like Saturday’s 

show at the Mixx occur less 

often these days. Onstage, 

Adams constructs guitar solos 

from long, lean melodic phrases, 

accented with his signature note 

flurries, and still ventures into 

the audience while playing. As 

a singer he remains physically 

as well as musically expressive, 

sometimes becoming so invested 

in the line he’s wailing that 

he almost knocks over the 

microphone and his arms fly up 

in the air as if to extend it with 

more breadth and feeling. If he 

doesn’t evince King’s elegance, 

he does give “less is more” his 

own kind of twist. n

Ferocious Blues 

CHRIS DUARTE GROUP ROCKS ARCADIA BLUES CLUB 

Whether you call their sound “punk blues,” “rocking blues” or “ferocious blues,” 

the Chris Duarte Group will be tearing up Arcadia Blues Club Saturday night. 

Ferocious blues seems fitting, as axe ace Duarte’s fingers have been known to 

bleed during his hard-driving performances. A true road warrior, Duarte plays some 

150 gigs a year, including major clubs and festivals throughout the US Canada and 

Europe. 

Duarte’s music channels the spirits and sounds of past masters of the craft, while 

affixing his own signature to the sound. The Austin native stepped in to fill the shoes 

of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan after Vaughan’s passing and quickly gained a national 

reputation.

TRAX BY BLISS 

BRANDON COLEMAN, Resistance 

(Brainfeeder): HHH 

Love and aspiration are the primary forces at play 

throughout this sleek R&B-framed set from the 

Kamasi Washington keyboardist, from the jaunty 

disco of “Live for Today” and “All Around the 

World” through the shuddering funk of “Sexy” and 

cosmic jazz of “Reach for the Stars” and “Giant 

Feelings” (featuring Washington and singer Patrice 

Quinn). It’s a diverse showcase for Coleman’s 

deep musicality. But his vocals, though padded by 

layered harmonies and electronic fills and effects, 

are so heavily processed that he often sounds like 

he’s crooning from inside a distant machine. At the 

Lodge Room in Highland Park Thursday, Sept. 13. 

Brainfeedersite.com 

MIKE FARRIS, Silver & Stone (Compass): 

HHH½ 

Farris won a Best Roots Gospel Album Grammy 

Award for his previous album, 2014’s “Shine 

for All the People.” Here, he keeps one foot and 

his robustly soulful baritone in gospel while 

celebrating secular joys — primarily family and a 

23-year marriage that’s weathered addiction and 

professional upheavals. “Every road has been 

followed, every mistake’s been made,” he reckons 

with knowing insight on the country-rocking, Elvisreferencing 

anthem “Breathless.” Elsewhere, he 

imbues Bill Withers’ “Hope She’ll Be Happier” with 

searing self-reproach; nods to Marvin Gaye with 

“Can I Get a Witness?”; and pays exultant tribute to 

his musical inspirations with “When Mavis Sings.” 

He learned their lessons well. mikefarrismusic.com

Canadian Snarky Puppy leader Michael League, 

Guadeloupe-raised vocalist/lyricist Malika Tirolien, 

and Netherlands-based Metropole Orkest conductor 

Jules Buckley. Frame drums abound, alongside 

bendir, slide guitar, oud and stacked harmonies, and 

Buckley’s striking arrangements and the rhythmic 

urgency of tracks like “All the Way Home,” “Fanm,” 

and “Bòd Lanmè Pa Lwen” make for uniquely 

satisfying music. RIYL Robert Plant and Juldeh

Recording in LA with producer Tony Berg and A

the Philly soul-folk troubadour reaches for uplift 

throughout his seventh album. Although it was 

reportedly inspired by crushing loss, stirring tracks 

like “No More Darkness, No More Light,” the sweet 

“Little Light,” “Whiskey On Ice,” and especially 

“Hang On, Hang On” (“You’ve already come so far 

alone”) deliver a welcome sense of cathartic release 

that transcends the specifics of personal pain.

DRUMMER JACOB ARMEN LEADS A MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA 

SATURDAY AT THE ALEX THEATRE 

The term “musical prodigy” is applied 

fairly often, but drummer Jacob Armen 

has spent his entire life taking that concept 

to a whole other level. His Juilliardtrained 

musician father first noticed that 

Jacob had an incredible knack for rhythm 

when he was just 18 months old, and 

then just four months later the talented 

tyke was sitting on a stool and playing 

drums live with his father’s band at area 

restaurants and clubs. 

He caught the attention of Johnny 

Carson and made his debut on the 

“Tonight Show” when he was just 7 years 

old. But even that wasn’t his biggest accomplishment, 

as he won an international 

drumming competition at 10 and wound 

up getting flown to Minneapolis to meet 

Prince, who signed him to a recording 

contract at that young age. 

Now 36, Armen has overcome a 

severe car accident that nearly ended 

his career two years ago to emerge 

triumphantly with his latest album “When 

Drums Conduct.” The longtime Glendale 

resident will be marking its release with 

the musical extravaganza “Jacob Armen 

Live: A Celebration of Rhythm” at 7:30 

p.m. Saturday at the city’s Alex Theatre. 

“Drumming is pretty much the only 

thing I’ve ever done, because my dad 

taught me how to tap to the beat of 

Rhythmic 

Celebration 


songs when I was 18 months old and 

then saw I could keep beats going on 

my own all the way through four measures,” 

recalls Armen. “Four months 

later, I was sitting in with his band, 

keeping up with all the percussion. 

When I was 6, my father called a Cal 

State Northridge music professor he 

knew, who had me come into play and 

surprised us with TV cameras. Johnny 

Carson saw me on the news and the 

next thing I knew I was sitting in with 

Doc Severinsen’s band for a night.” 

After receiving international press 

coverage and captivating millions with 

his “Tonight Show” appearance, Armen 

continued to make appearances on other 

top shows, including ABC’s “Good Morning 

America” and NBC’s “Today”. When 

he met Prince before signing his deal with 

the legend’s Paisley Park Records, the 

singer called him “the most frightening 

drummer I’ve ever heard.” 

Along the way, Armen collaborated 

with singer/bassist Jason Scheff of 

the band Chicago, Sheila E and former 

Chicago drummer Danny Seraphine. His 

contract with Prince enabled him to play 

on countless recordings produced by 

the label, as well as his own 1995 album 

“Drum Fever” when he was 13. 

Armen has never looked back, with 

over 30 million views of his performance 

videos on the Internet and with his 

colorful experiences and connections 

enabling him to pull off the impressive 

feat of having 80 musical guests play on 

his new album. The CD encompasses 

rock, jazz, world and classical music and 

features multiple Grammy Award winning 

artists and collaborations with some of 

the industry’s finest, such as System of 

a Down’s Daron Malakian, Poncho Sanchez, 

Victor Wooten, Djivan Gasparyan, 

Patrick Moraz, the Lark Choir and the 

USC Trojan Marching Band. 

Many of those performers will be 

joining Saturday’s show as surprise 

guests bringing the album to life with a 

vibrant array of styles as well. 

“It’s going to be a hell of a show, 

with every kind of music you can imagine 

spotlighted because I love to play 

it all,” says Armen. “The doctors told 

me after my crash that I would never 

play again, but I worked hard to recover 

and God gave me this chance to keep 

going.” n 

“Jacob Armen Live: A Celebration of Rhythm” 

is performed at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Alex 

Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale. Tickets are 

$25 to $150 VIP experience. Call (818) 243-2539

Rose Byrne and Ethan Hawke 

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


‘Naked’ Emotions 

ETHAN HAWKE AND ROSE BYRNE BRING NICK HORNBY'S ACCLAIMED NOVEL 

‘JULIET, NAKED’ TO RICHLY ENTERTAINING LIFE 

Novelist Nick Hornby is a man who knows the impact that 

great pop music can have on a person’s life, as well as the 

state of arrested adolescence that holds many men (myself 

included) back from dealing head on with life’s responsibilities. 

Having made a splash in the movie world with the acclaimed film 

adaptations of his “High Fidelity” in 2000 and “About a Boy” in 2002, 

he has gone on to have a few other movies made out of his books to 

less popular response. 

He’s back now with the romantic dramedy “Juliet, Naked,” which 

takes a slow, thoughtful yet often amusing look at two men who are 

each running from relationships and the woman who inadvertently 

is caught in between them. The film stars Ethan Hawke as an early 

‘90s rock star named Tucker Crowe who disappeared 25 years ago, 

and Chris O’Dowd (the cop from “Bridesmaids”) as Duncan, his 

most obsessed fan, who has been leading a group of 200 men trying 

to decipher his lyrics for clues to his whereabouts. 

Duncan has been in a live-in relationship with Annie (Rose 

Byrne) for 15 years, boasting about how they have a perfectly happy 

life without kids, while not realizing that she's the furthest thing 

from happy. When a mysterious CD labeled “Juliet, Naked” arrives 

from Tucker's record label one day, Annie pops it in despite despising 

Tucker's music and is stunned to find that it's a collection of 

acoustic demos from his most beloved CD “Juliet.” 

She gives it a listen and despises it even more than Tucker's fullyformed 

CDs, but Duncan thinks it's sheer genius. When.Annie anonymously 

posts a nasty comment about how “Juliet, Naked” seems like 

a pathetic cash grab, she's even more stunned to find that Tucker 

Crowe writes her back personally admitting that he hates it too. 

Thus an online flirtation begins between Annie and Tucker, 

while Duncan has a one-time fling with a female colleague. When 

Tucker reveals that he's coming to visit one of his many random and 

scattered children who lives in England, things get complicated for 

everyone. 

There are plenty of emotional twists and turns to come in the 

film, which looks at middle-age regrets and broken dreams in a 

way that's eminently relatable and ultimately hopeful. It also has 

profound things to say about parenthood and family, as well as the 

difference between having a kid and being a genuinely caring parent, 

and the difference in how the world's perception of a celebrity 

can vastly differ from the reality for good and for bad. 

While the superb script is rooted in Hornby's terrific prose, 

Oscar-winning screenwriter Jim Taylor (“Sideways”) and his wife, 

Oscar-nominated writer Tamara Jenkins (“The Savages”) bring their 

skillful ability to find empathy beneath their comedic touches to the 

forefront. By the time everyone finds their answers, audiences will 

be surprised to find how much genuine love they will have for these 

characters. 

Hawke at his Ethan Hawke-iest here, playing the same sensitive, 

goateed middle-aged guy seeking to prove he still has some edge 

that he's portrayed in countless other indie films. But he still pulls it 

off with greater than usual depth here, showing why he's managed 

to be one of the few young actors who has made the transition from 

teen star (in “Dead Poets Society”) to respected multiple Oscar 

nominee. 

O'Dowd brings fun comic bluster as the pathetic and selfish 

Duncan, but it's Byrne who's the true revelation amid the trio. As a 

woman who has stifled her innermost dreams and desires for well 

over a decade and suddenly has big choices to make about how 

badly she's willing to shake things up, she has the beautifully sweet 

and heartbreaking charm of Keira Knightley at her best. 

“Juliet, Naked” is too slow in its first half to merit a full-on rave, 

but for those who enjoy sweet stories about relatable people, its second 

half makes the ride worthwhile. With multiplexes transitioning 

between fluffy blockbusters and heavy Oscar fare, this is a perfect 

film to enjoy this weekend. n 

GRADE: B 

OPERATION FINALE 

Stars: Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley 

Length: 122 minutes 

Directed by: Chris Weitz 

Rating: PG13 

The story of a group of Israelis who plotted to 

kidnap Nazi mastermind Adolf Eichmann from 

Argentina in 1960 and bring him to trial for war 

crimes should be an exciting thriller, and the first 

half is fun. But the second half, where they are 

forced to hide out with Eichmann for ten days, is 

an interminable snooze. Grade: C 

SEARCHING 

Stars: John Cho, Debra Messing 


Directed by: Aneesh Chaganty 

Rating: PG13 

The Asian-American wave of multiplex success 

continues with this film starring Jon Cho as 

a father desperately searching for his teen 

daughter, who's been living a secret life online. 

The film is told completely through technology 

such as Twitter, Facebook, webcams and 

the like, making the riveting story even more 

compelling. Grade: A 

CRAZY RICH ASIANS 

Stars: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle 

Yeoh 


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 


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 


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

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests 

that Charles Mounday be appointed 

as personal representative to 

adminiter the estate of the decedent. 

THE PETITION requests authority 

to administer the estate under 

the Independent Administration of 

Estates Act. (This authority will allow 

the personal representative to 

take many actions without obtaining 

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. 17, 2018 at 8:30 AM in 

Dept. No. 99 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 from the court clerk.

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 1-844-477-7869 or visit

postponements that are very short in

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,
