UNDERHANDED TACTICS 

Of all the wall nonsense Trump has come up with, “human wall” 

might be the most absurd. 

A “human wall,” in different words, is “border patrol.” The bottom 

line is Trump doesn’t know what he wants but wants it now, and is 

demanding that others jump through hoops to come up with some 

thread that he and his henchmen can spin as a success. To that end, 

Trump is willing to use extortion or other underhanded tactics. To put 

things in perspective; withholding 

disaster aid for wildfires, no big 

deal; but refugees seeking asylum, 

well that’s a national emergency. 

Outrageous. 

And it’s not just Trump who is 

the culprit. Republicans are complicit. 

They have even spouted the 

talking point — paraphrasing — 

that $5 billion for the wall isn’t too 

much to ask for, it’s only one-tenth 

of 1 percent of the federal budget. 

In essence, they are saying it’s 

OK to waste taxpayer money on 

a political stunt because it’s just 

chump change. And they claim to 

be the party of fiscal responsibility? 

Vote their asses out!

FOUR BORDERS 

Ladies and gentlemen, it is 

amazing how media pundits and 

millions of ordinary folks out 

there believe we have only two 

borders. 

Anyone who believes we have 

only two borders (Canada and 

Mexico) is either not using their 

brains to think with or they are 

lacking a proper education. We 

have four borders, folks, not two! 

There is the Pacific Ocean border 

and the Atlantic Ocean border. 

For what purpose do I make 

this point, you might ask? 

The purpose is this: President 

Trumpet wants to build ONE wall 

(actually a fence and not, repeat, 

NOT a wall). Protecting one 

border is truly stupid folks, to the 

Nth degree! How are you going to 

protect the Atlantic Ocean border 

and the Pacific Ocean border? Is 

our entertainer-in-chief going to 

build a fence in either of the two 

oceans, along our enormous coast 

lines? I think not. Not now, not 

ever. 

So, how are these two gigantic 

ocean borders going to be protected, 

to keep illegals out? Your 

guess, ladies and gentlemen, is 

better than mine.

A NEW WAY 

I believe that over the next 

three to five years, hundreds of 

thousands of Californians will 

flee the state. The never-ending 

tax and overall cost of living increases 

have squeezed the middle 

class — and the wealthy who 

pay around 50 percent of their 

income in taxes — to the breaking 

point. The political decision to 

allow open borders, regardless of 

whether they are criminals or not, 

with housing, health care, education, 

and food paid for by taxpayers, 

is too much for many people 

(not to mention the thousands of 

“nonviolent” criminals released 

from prison). 

I have lived in Northern California 

since 1986. I remember the 

days of great roads, schools, state 

tax rebates, and government that 

worked for the people. Those 

days are long gone. I have started 

a Facebook Group called Leaving 

California. Membership in the 

closed group is growing by 100 

percent a month. So many people 

are moving to “sane” states 

where they can safely raise their 

families, in great school districts, 

with a manageable costs of living. 

I’d be happy to discuss further 

with you. Feel free to reach out. 

Thanks!

•HUTCHINSON REPORT• 

BY EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON 

NOT SO FAST 

TRUMP WILL SERVE OUT THIS TERM, AND MAYBE ANOTHER 

From the moment President Trump set foot in the White House the mantra 

of much of the media, many Democrats, and Trump loathers of all stripes 

was that he likely would not finish his term. He will, take your pick: be 

impeached and resign under pressure; get so fed up with the attacks, infighting 

and backbiting that he’ll quit; or he’ll bail out due to health problems. This is the 

third year of his administration and every one of these predictions has proven 

wrong. 

Trump will serve out his term, and maybe a second one. Here’s why. 

The Mueller Report. There will be nothing in the report that directly 

implicates Trump in colluding with Russian operatives to sabotage the 2016 

presidential election. There will be nothing in the report that will directly link 

him to obstruction of justice or any other illegal activity connected with the 

election. The report will detail much circumstantial evidence of tampering 

and collusion and various types of wrongdoing. But the finger pointing will be 

at Trump associates for their roles in criminal activities. The report that the 

public and House Democrats see will likely be redacted. 

Impeachment. This was a pipe dream from day one. The bar is simply 

too high. Even if the plausible case can be made that Trump committed an 

offense that meets the fuzzy constitutional standard of “high crimes and 

misdemeanors,” House Democratic leaders, mainly Nancy Pelosi, have dropped 

long and loud hints that an impeachment move is not going to happen. That’s in 

part because it’s just too politically risky and could backfire on the Democrats. 

And, in any event, the GOP-controlled Senate would instantly kill it. 

Trump’s Popularity. Much has been made that Trump’s popularity scores 

consistently hover under 50 percent and that his bread and butter base of white, 

male, rural, blue collar, less-educated voters are way too narrow for him to 

win again. However, it’s not his base’s alleged small numbers, but where those 

numbers are located, and they are in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, and 

Pennsylvania. Those five states either have GOP governors or Republicancontrolled 

legislatures or strong legislative blocs. 

Democratic Contenders. They all would handily win California, New York 

and the handful of other Democratic states. This again could pose the same 

conundrum that it did for Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. They won the popular 

vote, but still lost the White House. The Electoral College insures that. The 

only Democratic presidential contender who can either compete with Trump 

for his crucial demographic or at best neutralize him with them will likely be a 

centrist, moderate Democrat from a heartland state. 

The problem, though, is that as surveys have shown it isn’t just Trump’s 

economic message of bringing jobs back that got them on his bandwagon. It 

was his pandering to racial and immigrant fears that touched a nerve with 

many of them. It’s this same nerve that makes them defiantly shrug off every 

mention of Trump’s blatant personal and political malfeasance, as if to say “so 

what.” Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will be hard-pressed to 

crack that sentiment even with voters who may like what they have to say. 

The Economy. Trump will continue to claim that he put America back to 

work. It’s a lie, but the reality is that when there’s perceived economic good 

times the man in the White House benefits politically. History shows that it’s 

still pretty much the economy that drives voter perceptions of whether a sitting 

president should remain in the White House. 

Trump will have a united, nasty and manipulative GOP behind him, a king’s 

campaign war chest and the continued slavish infatuation of the mass media 

with any and every silly, insipid, inflammatory tweet and crack by him. He’ll 

also again have millions of dollars in free air time that would overwhelm 

anything the Democrats could counter with. 

This is not to say that Trump is a shoo-in for another term. Much can happen in 

the months in the run-up to November 2020. But it is to say that, at least for now, 

Trump doesn’t appear to be going anywhere this term, and maybe another. ■

CHEMICAL ROUNDUP 

COUNTY SPRAYS CONTROVERSIAL WEED KILLER LINKED TO CANCER IN NORTHEAST PASADENA 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

In an effort to kill vegetation growing near a heliport in Northeast 

Pasadena, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works 

(DPW) has sprayed a controversial herbicide that is considered a 

carcinogen by state environmental standards. 

According to a local resident, the DPW is spraying Roundup, an 

easily obtainable herbicide containing glyphosate, a chemical that 

is either banned or restricted in communities in 13 states, including 

California, in an area near Eaton Canyon. 

“We live near the debris basin just adjacent to the Eaton Canyon 

Golf Course, and one day I noticed it was turning blue,” said local 

resident Darian Donner. Donner lives near a hiking trail used by local 

residents, golfers and dog owners. 

“I stopped this truck and I asked them what they were spraying, 

and they said Roundup,” Donner said. 

Tony Bell, communications director for LA County Supervisor 

Kathryn Barger, said officials with the county Public Health 

Department and the Department of Public Works met Tuesday with 

the county Agricultural Commissioner to evaluate the county’s use of 

herbicides and pesticides. 

“Our office will closely monitor the study and make 

recommendations based on their findings,” Bell said in an email to the 

Pasadena Weekly. 

Roundup is the world’s most popular weed killer. In March 2015, 

the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research 

on Cancer (IARC) said the key ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, is 

“probably carcinogenic to humans.” 

The classification of glyphosate as a possible carcinogen has 

come under attack since then by the US Environmental Protection 

Agency, which does not consider the chemical a carcinogen, chemical 

manufacturing giant Monsanto, makers of Roundup, and others in the 

agriculture industry. 

In a case related to the impact that Roundup use has on food 

products, in February 2018 a federal judge temporarily ruled against 

the state’s attempts to require cancer warnings be placed on food 

‘INCREDIBLY 

DEVASTATING’ 

LOCAL MAN FATALLY STABBED 

IN CONFRONTATION AT 

HOMELESS HOUSING FACILITY 

The victim of a fatal 

stabbing that forced a 

police lockdown of a 

wide area of Pasadena 

may have been killed 

after he told the suspect 

that he couldn’t help 

the wife with her drug 

problem. 

Telly Johnson 

Telly Johnson, 42, 

was arrested on Friday 

night in Los Angeles and booked on suspicion 

of murdering Byron Young Nettles, 48. 

Johnson pleaded not guilty at his arraignment 

on Tuesday in Pasadena. He is being 

held on $2 million bail. 

According to police, Johnson fatally 

stabbed Nettles shortly after 9 a.m. Friday, 

March 1, in the 100 block of South Euclid 

Avenue. Nettles was rushed to Huntington 

Hospital where he underwent emergency 

surgery. He later died from his wounds. 

Nettles managed the Euclid Villa Transition 

Housing facility, a 14-unit apartment complex 

that offers housing and programs for families 

transitioning out of homelessness. 

Nettles’ wife T’Shawn Demethris told 

KCAL TV, Channel 9 that her husband of 22 

years was a very kind man who helped all he 

could, but when he told the suspect he did not 

have the power to help the man’s wife with her 

drug addiction the man flew into a rage and 

attacked him. 

“He didn’t make it,” she said. “He didn’t 

make it. They tried. They were the best. He 

was a good person and a great father. He was 

just so helpful to everybody.” 

Low-income families are allowed to stay 

two years at the facility and are required to 

pay 30 percent of their income for rent. Case 

management and supportive services are 

provided on site. The facility is owned and 

operated by Union Station Homeless Services 

and Pacific Housing Alliance. 

One witness told KCAL that she saw the 

killer stab Nettles in the face and chest with a 

switchblade knife after a fistfight. 

“The perpetrator definitely was not a 

resident at the location,” said Union Station 

Spokesperson Dana Bean. “We are all 

incredibly devastated by the tragic death of 

Byron Nettles. We believe his attacker was 

someone he knew personally and that this 

was a private, family conflict. There were no 

residents or staff of Union Station involved 

in the incident.”

BRIEFS 

NEW CROWN 

ROSE QUEEN NAMED 

WOMAN OF THE YEAR 


State Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Canada) has named 

Rose Queen Louise Deser Siskel the 25th Senate District’s 

2019 Woman of the Year. 

Louise Deser Siskel 

“I am grateful to Sen. Anthony Portantino for nominating 

me for the California Legislative Women’s Caucus Woman of the Year Award,” 

Siskel said. “I feel lucky to be honored among a group of truly dedicated women who 

make the world a more kind and welcoming place. This year, as the 101st Rose Queen, 

I had the opportunity to promote scientific research, education, and inclusion. This 

recognition encourages me, and I hope will encourage others, to advocate for these 

values.” 

Siskel came out as bisexual in a column in the Los Angeles Times on New Year’s 

Eve. 

“[I]n this new, very public position, I feel it’s important to present myself authentically, 

especially to those who look to the Royal Court as a representation of our community,” 

wrote Siskel. “While I am almost certainly not the first member of the LGBTQ 

community on the court, I hope that by saying so publicly, I might encourage others to 

be proud of who they are.” 

In February, Siskel appeared at the Pasadena City Council and spoke in favor of the 

city remaining on track to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020. 

Later that month, members of the controversial anti-gay, anti-Semitic Westboro 

Baptist Church protested against Siskel at Sequoyah High School in West Pasadena. 

“I am very honored and excited that Louise has to come to Sacramento to represent 

our district. She has distinguished herself as an amazing leader, not just displaying 

poise while the entire world watched her in the Rose Parade but through her trailblazing 

leadership. She embraced the responsibility of being selected Rose Queen with a 

bold civic agenda, impressed everyone who has encountered her during this past year 

and exemplified intelligence, confidence and maturity,” Portantino said in a prepared 

statement. 

Each year, members of the Legislature recognize the exceptional women in their 

district with a celebration commemorating their accomplishments and positive impact 

on our communities, said Yvonne Vasquez, a spokesperson for Portantino. 

“This year, Sen. Portantino is honored that Ms. Siskel has agreed to proudly represent 

the 25th Senate District.” Vasquez said. n 

‘RIGHT PLACES, 

RIGHT TIMES’ 

PARSONS MOVING HEADQUARTERS 

TO VIRGINIA 


Officials with the Parsons Corp. announced last week that 

the company will move its headquarters from Pasadena to 

Virginia in order to be closer to clients in the Washington, 

DC area. 

Chuck Harrington 

According to a company spokesperson, Parsons corporate headquarters will be 

relocated “effective immediately” to a facility in Centreville, Virginia, about an hour’s 

drive from downtown Washington. 

“Parsons’ position as a world leader in defense, intelligence and critical 

infrastructure is the result of more than seven decades of strategic planning and 

investment,” said Chuck Harrington, Parsons chairman and CEO in a prepared 

statement. “Our strategic actions over the past 10 years, including acquisitions, have 

led to the Washington metropolitan area having Parsons’ largest concentration of 

employees worldwide. The move of our corporate headquarters to the Washington area 

will support this concentration of employees in the region.” 

Being in Northern Virginia, Harrington said, gives us more opportunities to be in the 

right places, at the right times, with the right people driving the future of our markets.” 

According to the Los Angeles Times, the company already has 2,400 employees 

in Washington. Parsons employees 500 people in Pasadena and 2,000 in California. 

Those employees will not be asked to relocate . 

Parsons, which makes about $3.6 billion a year, provides cyber/converged security, 

technology-based intellectual property, and other innovative services to federal, 

regional, and local government agencies, as well as to private industrial customers. 

The firm has more than 16,000 employees across 24 countries and spanning four 

continents. 

Parsons was founded by Ralph M. Parsons. Beginning in 1944, Parsons provided 

process engineering, facility design, construction services and operated various jet 

propulsion facilities — nuclear, chemical, and heavy fuels. It also delivered electronics, 

instrumentation, and ground checkout systems design and engineering for aircraft, 

missiles and rockets. 

Parsons sold its 22.7-acre property on Walnut Street to Morgan Stanley Real Estate 

Investing and Lincoln Property Co. for $320 million in 2011, but was still housed in the 

12-story building. The employees in Pasadena will continue working in that building. 

Plans for the remaining property by Lincoln Property and AMLI Residential call for 

multiple mid-rise structures across 6.4 acres, featuring 400 residential units and 

210,000 square feet of office space above 17,500 square feet of retail and underground 

parking, according to urbanize.la. n

products that contain traces of glyphosate. 

However, US District Judge William Shubb’s 

injunction left glyphosate on the list required by the 

1986 Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act 

as a “chemical known to the state of California to cause 

cancer.” 

In April, a state appellate court found that the state 

can require labeling of products containing glyphosate 

herbicide as toxic under the state drinking water 

law, also known as Proposition 65. Proposition 65, 

according to efficientgov.com, a San Francisco-based 

information collection service that tracks fiscal and 

operational challenges facing cities and towns, requires 

notification and labeling of all chemicals known to 

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, 

and prohibits their discharge into drinking water. 

In August, six months after the federal court 

ruling, a state civil court jury found that Roundup was 

responsible for a school groundskeeper’s terminal 

cancer. Dewayne Johnson was spraying the chemical 

20 to 30 times a year while working at a school district 

near San Francisco. According to CNN, more than 800 

other people are suing Monsanto, claiming Roundup 

gave them cancer. 

In an email to Noreen Sullivan, field representative 

for Councilman Gene Masuda, who represents eastern 

Pasadena, Hu Yi, Los Angeles County Public Works 

senior civil engineer, said the spraying is only being 

done a few times a year to stop vegetation from growing 

near a heliport in the Sierra Madre Debris Basin. 

“The basin is a unique facility because the crest of 

the hillside serves as a heliport with the capacity to 

hold two helicopters at a time,” said Yi. 

The use of Roundup by the city of Pasadena was 

stopped in areas where people recreate and congregate 

in 2017, and discontinued altogether last year, said City 

Manager Steve Mermell. 

All told, there are local and state government 

glyphosate restrictions or bans in place in 13 states. 

Other California cities to take action on use of the 

herbicide include: 

Los Angeles, where in 2017 the city Recreation and 

Parks Department stopped spraying the weed killer 

within 100 feet of children’s play areas, recreation 

centers and dog parks; Burbank, which discontinued 

the use of Roundup in city parks for one year, and the 

Burbank Unified School District, which stopped 

using the herbicide due to cancer concerns; Carlsbad, 

which adopted a policy that makes organic pesticides 

the preferred method for killing weeds; neighboring 

beach city Encinitas, which banned the use of 

Roundup and other glyphosate-based weed killers 

in city parks; Irvine, which has stopped spraying 

Roundup and other glyphosate-based herbicides; and 

Thousand Oaks, which has a ban on glyphosate use on 

public golf courses. Petaluma officials are considering 

a ban on glyphosate for use in public parks, according 

to efficientgov.com, and Richmond has banned the 

use of glyphosate for all weed abatement activities 

conducted by the city. 

Despite all the calls to ban the product, Roundup 

can be purchased at most local hardware stores. 

“It is one of the only heliports of its size in the area 

and it is frequently used as a filling station for waterdropping 

helicopters used in aerial firefighting,” Yi 

explained of the need to clear the heliport area of 

vegetation. 

“This area must remain clear of vegetation 

and obstructions at all times per Fire Department 

guidelines,” he continued. “Use of herbicides for 

vegetation management is a cost-effective means to 

improve visibility along the public rights-of-way, reduce 

fire hazards, facilitate infrastructure inspections, 

prevent rodent infestations and to keep them 

functioning as designed.” 

Although in a phone conversation Yi acknowledged 

Roundup was being used in the area, and that such 

spraying was conducted up to three times a year, 

the email does not mention the herbicide by name. 

However, it does state that spraying of the herbicide is 

canceled when the wind exceeds five mph or if there is 

a forecast of rain within the next 24 hours. According to 

Donner, spraying was done on Feb. 27, when rain was in 

the immediate forecast. 

The site where the weed killer is used is also 

supposed to be monitored to ensure members of the 

public are not in the location of spray prior to, during, 

and immediately after the application, according to the 

email. 

“When I asked them what they were spraying, I was 

right in front of them at the gate and no one told me I 

couldn’t be there,” said Donner. 

“We only use herbicides that are approved by both 

Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the 

California Environmental Protection Agency,” Yi said 

in the email. “The herbicides used do not pose a threat 

to humans, animals, or insects when used according 

to the product label. Applications of herbicides are 

not sprayed directly into water and where there is a 

possibility it could come into contact with water, then 

we use an herbicide approved for aquatic use.” 

Last year, US Rep. Adam Schiff called for a ban of 

Roundup after it was discovered the weed killer was 

being sprayed along and in the LA River. According to a 

story in the Los Angeles Daily News, Schiff asked Col. 

Kirk E. Gibbs, district commander of the Los Angeles 

District US Army Corps of Engineers, to “end its use 

of products containing glyphosate as part of the (Los 

Angeles River) vegetation management plan in favor of 

safe alternatives.” 

Pasadena city officials have also fought to stop the 

use of dangerous chemicals in local communities. In 

1990, Pasadena city officials filed a legal brief in support 

of the lawsuit by Los Angeles, Glendale and Burbank 

seeking to stop state helicopters from bombarding 

homes with the pesticide malathion to eradicate the 

Mediterranean fruit fly. 

For former Pasadena Mayor Bill Paparian, who 

helped lead the city’s fight against the spraying of 

malathion to eradicate crop-destroying fruit flies in 

early 1990, expressed concern over the county spraying 

Roundup in Pasadena. 

“Portugal and Italy, as well as Vancouver, Canada 

have banned the use of the chemical in public parks and 

gardens. My family and I have lived in the immediate 

neighborhood where LA County has been spraying 

Roundup. Obviously I am deeply concerned over the 

potential health risks,” Paparian said. n 

10,000 

people have left villages 

in Syria since February 

20, including 

members of 

ISIS who have 

surrendered 

to local forces, 

according to USA

FORMER WRITERS GUILD PREZ VICTORIA 

RISKIN DISCUSSES NEW BIOGRAPHY OF 

PARENTS ‘FAY WRAY AND ROBERT RISKIN: 

A HOLLYWOOD MEMOIR’ AT VROMAN’S 

BY BLISS BOWEN 

Early in Victoria ia Riskin’s biography of her parents, “Fay 

Wray and Robert Riskin:AHollywoodMemoir”she 

Memoir,” she 

recalls building a snowman at age 3 with her brother 

Bobby and their father, screenwriter Robert Riskin. For 

years, she writes, she imagined her mother “was in the 

kitchen having the cook prepare the hot chocolate to 

warm us when we came in, or rearranging the living 

room rugs and furniture for an evening of square dancing 

that was all the rage in the late 1940s, or readying a 

dinner party for the friends who regularly came to our 

house: Jack Benny, Rosalind Russell, Ronald Colman, 

Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Irving Berlin, Harpo Marx, 

Darryl Zanuck, Edward G. Robinson.” But Wray was 

behind a Leica camera, in that rare snow, recording the 

family happiness she had finally, gratefully found. 

Pop culture enshrines Wray as the blonde love 

object of “King Kong” in the iconic 1933 film. But the 

Utah innocent who arrived in Los Angeles at 14 emerges 

from her daughter’s pages as a kind, good-natured 

trooper. The script for 1933’s “The Bowery” called for 

costar George Raft to slap Wray — a move he reluctantly 

repeated through 20 takes until, with Wray’s “eyes watering, 

her face bright red and her ears ringing,” director Raoul 

Walsh was satisfied. “King Kong” director Merian C. Cooper 

ordered her to “scream for your life” into a microphone for 

“eight uninterrupted hours” until he caught the desired pitch. 

Wray couldn’t speak for weeks afterward. That year, she became 

“Founding Member #1475 of the Screen Actors Guild.” 

The witty, progressive-minded Riskin, whose parents had 

fled anti-Semitic repression in what is now Belarus for New 

York in 1891, was active in Depression-era organizing efforts 

for what ultimately became the Screen Writers Guild. He was 

at the beginning of his collaboration with Italian-born 

director Frank Capra, which yielded such legendary 

films as “Meet John Doe” and the Oscar-winning “It 

Happened One Night.” In conversation Victoria 

describes parties where the two men rolled 

around like clowns, and the “incredible 

elegance and fun” as well as “rich political 

conversation and artistic conversation” 

that prevailed in her parents’ intellectual 

social circle.

“This group 

of people 

were great raconteurs,” 

says Victoria, who from 

2001 to 2004 served as 

president of the Writers 

Guild of America, West, 

the union her father 

helped create. “They 

were bright, they were 

imaginative, energetic, 

optimistic. Even in the 

Depression they loved 

the country. Cooper was 

a Republican all his life, 

because he understood 

how bad Stalin was, and 

he’d been a prisoner in 

Russia, and my father 

was a liberal and loved 

FDR and was very 

worried about Hitler. 

The country was very 

divided. But people were 

not as divided as they became after World War II when the blacklist descended 

upon Hollywood, or as they are seemingly right now. It was interesting to me 

that Riskin and Capra worked well together even though Capra was a conservative, 

and the theme of the little guy and the common man and the belief in the 

basic goodness of others and helping others was all Riskin; it was not Capra at 

all. But Capra was a wonderful director and he knew a good story and could 

bring it to life on film.” 

Falling in love shortly after Pearl Harbor, Wray and Riskin’s touching, 

romantic letters express recognition of their good fortune. Wray’s first husband, 

philandering screenwriter John Monk Saunders, had spent her money, 

kidnapped their daughter Susan, and sold their house; the warm, stable Riskin, 

who’d previously dated Carole Lombard and Loretta Young, was elated to have 

finally found someone with whom he could be emotionally intimate. In one 

amusing passage, he races from Los Angeles to Barstow to Pasadena to meet 

Wray’s train, flowers and heart in hand. They married in August 1942, after Wray 

proposed, and Riskin adopted Susan. 

“I don’t think I say this in the book: When she married him, she said, ‘I am 

not sure how long I’m going to have him and I want to be with him every moment 

I can and to make his life as easy and happy as I can,’” Victoria recalls. 

“That was the sense she had.” 

The book’s most intriguing sections detail the diplomatic Riskin’s stewardship 

of the Office of War Information’s overseas bureau — work even Victoria 

didn’t fully grasp until the team behind Peter Miller’s excellent 2014 documentary 

“Projections of America” asked her to dig into her father’s files. She says 

Riskin’s OWI work has been “lost to history” because too many books about 

Hollywood’s war effort have relied on a “limited set of documents” and recycled 

stories — and that’s “astounding,” because his OWI films were “so much more 

impactful, larger in scope and more sensitive than anything else.” 

Some of those films (e.g., “The Cummington Story”) survive on YouTube. 

Victoria, a former Human Rights Watch international board member, calls them 

“propaganda of the gentlest kind,” designed to educate overseas audiences 

about American life and democratic ideals. Acknowledging that “propaganda” 

is “a very loaded term,” she defends the convictions of her father, who suffered 

a partially paralyzing stroke in 1950 and died at 58 in 1955. (Wray died at 96 

in 2004.) He believed that foreign audiences would love America if they loved 

American films. 

“Telling stories that elevate the human spirit to reflect simple things of life in 

an appreciative way … really set the stage about how you feel about yourself as 

a culture and a community. Those are films designed to influence — is that bad? 

Or is that OK? I think it’s a worthy conversation, especially in an era of ‘fake 

news’ and spinning information.” ■

Have It Your Way 

PIZZA BOY OFFERS VEGAN AS WELL AS MEAT AND CHEESE PIES AND SANDWICHES 

BY EVELYN GARCIA | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

While every day seems to bring new dining fads that take over 

our newsfeeds and office conversations, there is one that is 

here to stay: the vegan diet. 

I personally venture out and eat vegan or vegetarian 

options quite often and am always excited to see how they 

hold up compared to the “real” thing I’m accustomed to eating. 

For this reason, I visited Pizza Boy in Glendale recently. While 

they have a large menu with plenty of meaty and cheesy nonvegan 

options, they also have one of the most extensive lists 

of vegan pizzas I’ve ever seen, not to mention plenty of positive 

buzz online. 

The restaurant doesn’t look like your typical red and 

white checkered pizza joint. Located off of Colorado Street, 

it is modern with dark wooden tables and booths, and has 

a large bar upon entering where guests can sit and drink. 

While I knew prior to arriving they have a couple of different 

pizza crust options, I didn’t realize the extent. One of the 

walls inside the restaurant features all of them: the popular 

cauliflower crust, flax seed, zucchini, sweet potato, brown 

rice, almond, beet and broccoli, each boasting about its health 

benefits, such as “slow down aging.” Who knew you could eat 

pizza crust made of zucchini and fight wrinkles at the same 

time? 

The highlight of the night was one of the dishes we ordered 

to start, and it seems to be one of the most popular items on 

their menu overall. We ordered the Ajarski Khachapuri ($8.75), 

which is a Georgian dish made of leavened bread filled with 

cheese and eggs. My dining partner ordered the small size 

with one egg, but it is also served in large (2 eggs) or extralarge 

(3 eggs). The khachapuri is served with a side of butter,

store with the best quality food and BEST 

service in town. Thank you PASADENA!!!!! 

and we were told to dip it in, mix, then tear off 

the bread and dip that into the egg to eat as you 

go. While not my cup of tea during dinner time, it 

was fantastic — perfectly gooey, cheesy, and the 

right amount of filling. They even offer an Ajarski 

made with a Portobello mushroom instead of 

bread ($5.50) for those who prefer a low-carb or 

gluten-free option. 

In addition to the Ajarski, to start we ordered 

the vegan hot wings ($10.85) thinking they were 

going to be cauliflower wings, which was perhaps 

our first mistake. It is made of soy and was rather 

lifeless (no pun intended). There was no crunch, 

no texture, and didn’t make me feel like I could 

give up hot wings then and there if that is what 

awaited me. Cauliflower wings, on the other 

hand, have the perfect consistency and bite to 

them that feel like a hot wing without needing to 

mock the chicken flavor. 

Then came the vegan pizza. I decided to go 

with the Vegan Meat Lover ($16.50), because if 

I’m going in on the meat alternatives, I might as 

well go all out. Pizza Boy’s meat lover comes with 

vegan ham, vegan sausage, vegan pepperoni, 

vegan chicken, and vegan cheese, all served on 

the cauliflower crust I opted for. The various 

meat alternatives (the peperoni in particular) 

made it all resemble the plastic, toy pizzas that 

kids cherish in play food sets. Perhaps it could 

just use more flavorful, textured “meats,” a 

thicker faux cheese for the price, or perhaps I had 

this particular experience because I’m not vegan 

and only eat like one every so often. I can’t say, 

but what followed — two non-vegan pizzas — 

completely turned the night around. 

We ordered a medium “create my own pizza” 

with half of a Mexican pizza and half Armenian 

pizza. The Mexican came with mozzarella, 

pepperoni, chorizo, meatballs, Italian sausage 

and jalapeños. It was delicious and was my 

friend’s second favorite dish of the night. 

Greasy, soft and everything you think of when 

you envision pizza. My favorite was easily the 

Armenian portion, made with fresh tomatoes, 

fresh basil and an extremely generous amount of 

Armenian feta cheese piled over the top. It tasted 

beyond fresh, and while I know the overwhelming 

amount of cheese was not as health conscious as 

several other items on their menu, I didn’t mind 

one bit. It’s the perfect summer time, or any time 

pizza to indulge in. 

The great thing about Pizza Boy is that they 

have it all. Whether that’s pizza or pasta, or even 

an array of sandwiches ranging from grilled 

chicken breast, Philly cheesesteak and Italian 

salami (all $10) to burgers, calzones and steak, 

the list goes on and on. There’s a hefty menu for 

tried and true vegans, for the health nuts, keto 

dieters, low-carb, all-carbs, and those who just 

want pizza, wings and beer. Yes, they also serve 

beer: Corona, Sapporo, Stella Artois, Heineken, 

and Samuel Adams. While I went in with high 

expectations for the vegan pizza in particular, I 

left with an appreciation for everything that Pizza 

Boy offers its customers. And better than that, 

you’re not judged on whatever you choose.

exhibits, play-based programs, and interactive events, the children’s 

museum has embarked upon a campaign to raise $40,000 in 40 days. 

Now through March 30, all donations made to the museum will help 

Kidspace provide daily access to play-based learning experiences and life-changing moments, 

giving children the opportunities to try new things, discover the world around them, and build 

self-confidence. It will also make the museum accessible to all children, including the estimated 

24 percent of annual guests who have been able to visit Kidspace through free or significantly 

reduced-cost programs.

VIBRANT VISUALS 

Alex Theatre unveils top-of-the-line digital cinema projection system 

The historic Alex Theatre has installed a top-of-the-line digital cinema 

projection system allowing films shot in digital format to be screened at 

the 1,400-seat venue utilizing in-house equipment. 

The project was funded courtesy of a $75,000 grant from the 

Ahmanson Foundation and a $45,000 grant from The Ralph M. Parsons 

Foundation. 

While the addition of the new system was crucial to the stewardship 

of the future, retaining the existing 35mm film projectors was vital to the 

preservation of the venue’s past, making the Alex one of the few venues in LA County to have inhouse 

digital and 35mm film projectors. 

The project in its entirety included renovating the theater’s projection booth in order to 

accommodate all three projectors in order to continue to screen films in their truest form. The new 

system complements the theater’s Dolby digital surround sound system. 

Glendale Arts is offering an introductory rate of $1,000 for use of the top-of-the-line projector. 

The rate is inclusive of an operator for the equipment. For full venue booking costs and availability, 

visit AlexTheatre.org or email Director of Marketing & Events Maria Sahakian at msahakian@

MIND MELD 

The Retreat at Pacifica Graduate Institute announces major conference 

The Santa Barbara-based Retreat at Pacifica Graduate Institute is 

pleased to announce “Art and Psyche: Conference IV, The Illuminated 

Imagination,” featuring the work of C.G. Jung. The main conference 

is scheduled on April 4 -7, and will be located at UC Santa Barbara’s 

University Center (UCEN) and at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum. 

Pacifica Graduate Institute looks forward to engaging with leaders 

and communities at the intersections of psychotherapy, depth psychology, 

and the creative potential of the psyche. The Art and Psyche Conference 

will engage the imaginative processes of psychotherapists and members of the art community 

to expand attendees’ understanding of depth psychology through painting, music, poetry, and 

literature as well as psychological theories and clinical practices. 

The work of C.G. Jung, particularly through his vividly illustrated “The Red Book,” will offer 

a historical backdrop that continues to inspire artists and psychotherapists individually and 

collectively. 

The conference itself will function as an emergent community through the interaction of the 

participants in large group plenaries, performances, small group breakouts, and workshops. 

Based on experiences at the three previous conferences, these interactions have a synergistic and 

enlivening effect on all who attend. 

Information and registration may be found at the following site: retreat.pacifica.edu/theilluminated-imagination.

REBEL WITHOUT A REASON 

DON’T LET EMOTIONAL ‘TRANSFERENCE’ MESS UP A GOOD RELATIONSHIP 

Dear Patti, 

I married my husband a year ago. I knew I was marrying a wonderful man 

but I didn’t realize that his whole family is wonderful. They own a very successful 

business in Pasadena and everybody in the family has welcomed me to become part 

of their company. I love the work, I love working in the community, and I love the 

family and how supportive they’ve been. 

The problem is that every time I’m around the oldest sister, Nancy, I get uncomfortable. 

Nancy runs the business and she’s basically my boss at work. I go back and 

forth between either feeling intimidated and shy around her or secretly critical and 

resentful. I keep thinking furious thoughts about how she’s a demanding know-it-all 

and too bossy and controlling. 

When I’m away from her though, I can see that Nancy’s not actually doing 

anything wrong. She keeps things running but hasn’t been domineering at all. In 

fact, if I’m honest, she pays attention to me and encourages my new ideas. Nancy 

is respectful to all the family members and especially kind to my elderly motherin-law. 

She’s part of why I love working in the family business. But I still get these 

irrational surges of anger toward her. 

My father died when I was very young, and my mother left me to be raised by my 

grandmother who was very controlling. For my whole childhood I felt like I had to 

fight constantly to have any rights at all. I recently realized that I’m reacting to my 

sister-in-law the same way I reacted to my grandmother and I don’t want to do that. 

It’s time to move on from my old childhood drama and leave it behind. I want to connect 

with my husband’s family in harmony both at work and home. 

— Beth 

Dear Beth, 

This is a very exciting time in both your personal and work life and one that will 

introduce no shortage of new familial relationships and challenges. As is often the case 

when people move forward, however, it’s not without the awkward weight of emotional 

baggage — elements that can influence how well you adjust to the latest change in your 

circumstances and the opportunities it presents for growth. 

You want to heal from the pain and the insecurity of past traumas so they won’t 

interfere with your life today. That’s an excellent goal. You have already taken the first 

critical step by recognizing that your sister-in-law is treating you well but that you are 

emotionally reacting as if her behavior were a cruel carbon copy of what you previously 

experienced with your grandmother. This is called transference. The more you 

acknowledge and experience your repressed feelings toward your childhood matriarch, 

the less power those historic feelings will be able to exert on what you are doing today. 

To accomplish this objective and reduce the tendency to transfer your feelings onto 

others, I would strongly recommend professional counseling. Find a therapist whom 

you trust and feel connected to. Keep in mind, however, that there is a good possibility 

you will eventually transfer feelings onto your therapist as well. That is often part of 

the therapeutic process, which your therapist will guide you through. The goal is for the 

two of you to create a safe, private space in which you carefully examine and heal these 

painful memories. 

Until then, try this exercise. Write down all of the traits, both good and bad, that 

characterized your grandmother. Then, on a separate piece of paper, write down all the 

traits that Nancy exhibits. After reviewing both lists, write down the behaviors from 

your grandmother’s list that you are currently transferring onto your sister-in-law. Look 

clearly at the difference. 

The next step is to choose a negative trait from your grandmother’s list and remember 

a specific time when she exhibited that trait and you felt mistreated as a result. See 

the experience in your mind’s eye and feel your anger and hurt. Do that with each negative 

trait and you will begin to understand where all of this is rooted. 

Share this experience with your new therapist. You may find that therapeutic work 

will help your relationships, and maybe even help your relationship with your grandmother 

if you are still in contact with her. You will definitely experience improvement 

in your current contacts. Don’t let the past interfere with your new career, your new 

family, and other relationships to come. n

BRAD COLERICK LEADS MUSICAL 

RAIL TO THE FRET EXCURSION ON 

METROLINK FROM UNION STATION TO 

THE FRET HOUSE SATURDAY 

P.19 


Family is a powerful force in the lives of most everyone, providing 

either love and support or an oppressive source of negativity 

and discouragement. That tenuous dynamic formed the heart of 

legendary playwright Tennessee Williams’ classic play “The Glass 

Menagerie” when it debuted to great acclaim in 1944, and has kept it 

relevant all the way to the present. 

A powerful new production of “Menagerie” is currently running 

at A Noise Within theater through April 26, starring Deborah Strang 

as Amanda Wingfield in a role she previously played with ANW in 

1997 at its original Glendale location. Amanda is the eccentric and 

addled matriarch of a family that’s been fading from earlier glories 

ever since her husband abandoned her, son Tom and daughter Laura

Rafael Goldstein in The Glass Menagerie 

16 years before, and their lives are shaken when a “gentleman caller” 

named Jim O’Connor from Laura’s past shows up one night to woo 

her as a favor to Tom. 

According to actor Kasey Mahaffy, who plays the enigmatic Jim, 

“Menagerie” has had a stirring effect on audiences young and old 

already in this run — largely due to the passion Williams brought to 

his writing, as the play was a key means of his ability to deal with 

his own difficult upbringing. He feels that the play’s messages on 

family and on how individuals deal with their dreams draws such 

strongly universal reactions that the play could be presented in a 

straightforward fashion close to its original 1937 design, rather than 

radically reinvented in the vein of some other ANW productions.

SHATTERED ‘GLASS’ 


“For me, I love turning scripts on their 

heads, but I don’t think it would have been of 

service to make this set today or in medieval 

times,” says Mahaffy. “The language and 

other aspects are very much of 1937. We do 

lots of student matinees of our shows for 

high school students, and never, ever have 

we had the response we have with this show. 

“The students are wild, so into it, 

because Williams is dealing with universal 

themes that everyone can understand,” 

adds Mahaffy. “The reason this show has 

been successful for 80 years is that it has 

intrinsic scenes that affect everyone — the 

elderly associate with the memories of it 

all, and of the time when you had to live 

with your mother and family. Kids love it so 

much because the themes are so universal, 

like having dreams in high school, problems 

with parents, dreams bigger than you are, 

or a relationship with a sibling that isn’t 

always what you want it to be. Audiences 

from young to elderly are leaning forward 

into this thing.” 

Mahaffy is one of four ANW Resident 

Artists in the cast, with Rafael Goldstein 

taking on the central role of Tom Wingfield, 

who draws upon his memories to serve as 

the play’s narrator. Erika Soto rounds out 

the leads as Laura, who has allowed herself 

to fail in life due to poor self-esteem and a 

permanent limp caused by childhood polio. 

The production is directed by ANW cofounder 

Geoff Elliott, who portrayed Tom 

in the ensemble’s 1997 production and is 

excited to take the reins of the overall show 

this time around. He’s also glad that Strang 

has returned to reprise the role of Amanda, 

giving her a chance to deliver a deeper and 

more age-appropriate turn in the role this 

time around. 

“’The Glass Menagerie’s’ poetic nature, 

Erika Soto and Deborah Strang in The Glass Menagerie 

its humor, and its heartbreak make it one of 

my favorite plays, and certainly my favorite 

Tennessee Williams play,” says Elliott. “The 

autobiographical nature of the story and its 

alignment to Williams’ own life are fascinating 

to me. I have for several years been passionate 

about rediscovering the play more 

from a director’s perspective than from the 

viewpoint of an actor in the cast as I played 

Tom Wingfield in our previous production. 

“Just as importantly, I want to share Deborah’s 

Amanda with audiences,” he continues. 

“She was wonderful 20 years ago, but 

probably too young. She is now the perfect 

age and her sensibilities as an artist and the 

life experience she has gained will combine 

to give our audiences a very special performance 

in this key role. Also, the other three 

actors in the production are three of my 

favorite performers in the world, so thus far 

it has been a joyful experience.” 

Even though the times have drastically 

changed since the late 1930s setting of “The 

Glass Menagerie,” Elliott still believes there 

is a lot to take away about human relationships 

from the classic work. 

“I believe audiences will experience 

a deep sense of empathy for the courage, 

humor and resolve that the Wingfields 

demonstrate in their attempt to support 

one another,” notes Elliott. “Their foibles 

and missteps are also so very human that I 

believe every member of the audience will 

see themselves in aspects of these complicated 

and conflicted people. It is a play that 

will stay with you long after you have exited 

the theater.” n 

“The Glass Menagerie” runs through April 26 at 

A Noise Within, 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena. 

Tickets are $25 to $77. Call (626) 356-3100 or visit

BRAD COLERICK LEADS MUSICAL RAIL TO THE FRET EXCURSION ON METROLINK 

FROM UNION STATION TO THE FRET HOUSE SATURDAY 

Brad Colerick has a lot of 

ideas. Many of them get 

expressed as songs. In 2009 

he also created Wine & Song, 

the weekly songwriter showcase 

that’s become a durable anchor 

for the area’s acoustic music 

community (hosted, since 2015, 

at Arroyo Seco Golf Course’s Blue 

Guitar Room). He’s also organized 

quite a few house concerts, 

festival stages and one-off events, 

in addition to running his music 

production and supervision 

company. 

So Saturday’s Rail to the Fret 

event isn’t a surprise, especially 

if you’ve heard his latest album, 

“Nine Ten Thirty,” and listened to 

“Superhero of the MTA.” It was 

only a matter of time before he 

organized a rail ride to one of his 

gigs. 

The plan is for everyone to 

meet at Union Station, ride the 

train to Covina, shop and nosh, 

and then adjourn to the concert 

at the Fret House. Leeann Skoda 

will open, and Colerick will close 

with multi-instrumentalist Tim 

Fleming (on pedal steel) and 

bassist Guillermo Guzman, then 

lead them back to the train ride 

home. Colerick says it’s a scaleddown 

version of an idea he tried 

to launch years ago. 

“It was called the Song Train, 

and I was going to rent a refurbished 

Pullman car that would 

tag onto Amtrak — you can do 

that for a per-mile fee,” he recalls. 

He envisioned a two-week 

trip beginning in San Francisco, 

winding across the West to 

Chicago, down to Memphis and 

New Orleans and back to LA. 

He planned to have a ProTools 

setup onboard so they’d have a 

finished recording by journey’s 

end. Late documentary filmmaker 

George Hickenlooper 

supported his idea. 

“George’s office was adjacent 

to mine and we rode the Gold 

Line on opening day together; 

he was interested in being part 

of it so I was pitching it with his 

involvement. I’m just a big public 

transit proponent.” 

Despite railroad and beer 

company interest, Song Train 

went nowhere. But he was 

encouraged by last year’s experience 

renting a bus and organizing 

a caravan from his South Pasadena 

studio to a show at McCabe’s 

in Santa Monica, with Chauncey 

Bowers entertaining riders with 

“weird scientific facts.” (Anyone 

who’s been to Bowers’ gigs or followed 

his Facebook feed knows 

how he can mine hilarity from 

science. Politics too. And cats.) 

This Saturday, Colerick plans 

to meet whoever buys advance 

tickets on the train platform with 

their roundtrip passes, and then 

hold court in the rear car. He 

might play his guitar; it depends 

how things flow in the moment. 

No word yet on whether Bowers 

will join the party. 

“It’s the commuter train — the 

double-decker, the Metrolink 

trains make fewer stops and go 

faster,” he explains. “I just love 

trains.” n 

“Rail to the Fret” with Brad Colerick & 

the Wreckers and guest Leeann Skoda 

at the Fret House, 309 N. Citrus Ave.,

TRAX BY BLISS 

PATTY GRIFFIN, Patty Griffin (PGM/Thirty 

Tigers): HHHH 

Not since 2002’s “1000 Kisses” has Griffin recorded 

an album that sounds as organic and alive as this, 

her tenth, recorded mostly in her Austin home. 

The mysterious “Coins,” rendered with beautiful 

Spanish guitar and Robert Plant’s harmony, 

perceives present turmoil through her younger 

self’s eyes, while the funky blues of “Hourglass” 

complements rougher contours her voice has 

assumed since recovery from breast cancer. 

Amidst cello, drones, guitar, marimba, piano, and 

trombone, “Luminous Places,” triumphant murder 

ballad “Bluebeard” and dreamy “What I Remember” 

remind how poetic and stunning Griffin’s writing 

can be as she ponders age, justice, and women’s 

struggles. Music to savor and share. pattygriffin. 

com 

DIDO,Still on My Mind (BMG): HHH 

The British singer’s electronic pop has always gone 

down easy, thanks to her glass-smooth vocals and 

hooky yet chill melodies (like 1999’s “Thank You”). 

What’s new on her first album since 2013’s “Girl 

Who Got Away” is deeper domestic contentment. 

She and brother (and ex-Faithless bandmate) 

Rollo Armstrong skillfully layer synths, guitars, 

harmonies, analog loops and dramatic beats; 

standouts “Hurricanes” and the title track evoke 

her club beginnings while assessing distances 

since traveled. Some tunes seem Starbucks-ready, 

but the anthemic “Chances” and “Have to Stay,” 

about loving her son, genuinely pluck heartstrings. 

didomusic.com 

COCHEMEA, All My Relations (Daptone): 

HHHH 

Cochemea Gastelum, best known as saxophonist 

with the late Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, 

traces the interconnectedness of cultures and 

nature throughout this appealing, percussive 

instrumental set. The melodic “Seyewailo” and 

“Sonora” showcase his sultry horn tone and jazz 

composition, but the album’s best represented 

by the spacey, pan flute-infused “Los Muertos” 

and especially engagingly polyrhythmic tracks like 

the funky “Mitote,” the prayerful, chant-opening 

“Asatoma” and cheery “Al-Mu’tasim,” which blend 

spiritual chants and magnetic rhythms of his Yaqui 

and Mescalero Apache heritage. daptonerecords. 

com/artists/cochemea 

JULIA JACKLIN, Crushing (Polyvinyl): 

HHH½ 

The Aussie pop artist’s second full-length album 

opens with portentous bass and a luggage-throwing 

reckoning (“Body”) with a lover whose juvenile 

antics invite police and her departure. “I don’t want 

to be touched all the time/ I raised my body up 

to be mine,” she then sings during “Head Alone”; 

throughout this self-aware set she plumbs dual 

cravings for solitude and physical connection, and 

pushes back social expectations while grieving. 

She soberly nails impulses to relent to convenience 

during rocker “Pressure to Party,” and affectingly 

sings ballads like “Don’t Know How to Keep Loving 

You” and “When the Family Flies In.” juliajacklin.

POPULAR FOLK ARTISTS STEVE GILLETTE AND CINDY MANGSEN TAKE THE STAGE AT CALTECH SATURDAY. 

Fans can expect a concert of their original tunes, as well as songs by their fellow folk artists and some familiar standards. 

Gillette scored early career success, penning the song “Darcy Farrow,” which was a hit for Ian and Sylvia, John Denver 

and Nanci Griffith. The singer-songwriter and guitarist went on to create songs for such artists as Kenny Rogers, Waylon 

Jennings, Tammy Wynett and Linda Ronstadt, among many others. 

Mangsen sings, plays guitar and concertina. She gained a reputation early on with her haunting interpretations of 

songs from Francis Child’s collection of Scottish and English ballads. She is also known for her beautiful voice and for 

writing and performing numerous songs, including “Songlines” and an offbeat tune about a cat, “Rudy’s Great Adventure.”

Art Night at Pacific Asia Museum 

ARTNIGHT PASADENA RETURNS WITH 20 WAYS TO LOVE FREE EXPRESSION 

Pasadena is a thriving arts town with 

numerous galleries, music and arts 

schools, live professional theaters and 

orchestras, and America’s longestrunning 

comedy club offering a world 

of wonder nearly every day of the year. 

But twice a year, the city tops 

itself by gathering 20 arts institutions 

together to show off the best they have 

to offer during ArtNight Pasadena. 

The spring 2019 edition will draw 

thousands of arts lovers of all ages to 

the streets of the Crown City from 6 to 

10 p.m. Friday, and the lineup is just 

as exciting as ever. As attendees grab 

their complimentary maps and board a 

constant stream of shuttles to make it 

across town, they’ll have to plan wisely 

to make the most of this incredible 

opportunity. 

The top attractions Friday include 

the Armory Center for the Arts’ exhibit 

“Sara Kathryn Arledge: Serene for the 

Moment Vivid,” which features works 

on paper plus short films by an underrecognized, 

Pasadena-based artist who 

found the eerie in the mundane and the 

disorienting in the beautiful. The band 

El Rio provides great live background 

music throughout the evening. 

Leave it to ArtCenter College 

City of Art 


of Design to provide a particularly 

impressive show — two of them, in 

fact. Its Williamson Gallery on its main 

campus (1700 Lida St.) will present 

“Garb,” a collision of image, fashion, 

body sculpture and costumes that is 

a multidisciplinary exhibition of contemporary 

art and design. Meanwhile, 

its South Campus (950 S. Raymond 

Ave.) enables visitors to explore rare 

classic and contemporary automobiles 

that have contributed to the evolution 

of aerodynamic design in “Details of 

Design: Beauty, Aerodynamics and 

Functionalism,” and an exhibition 

about the beauty and complexities of 

Multi-Script Typefaces in “Mike/Sierra/ 

Tango.” 

Pasadena’s beautiful and historic 

City Hall (100 N. Garfield Ave.) will be a 

vibrant hub for the evening, hosting live 

New Orleans style music, Mardi Gras 

mask-making, dancers from Lineage 

Performing Arts Center and booths 

hosted by the Metro transit system, 

and tasty snacks in addition to shuttles 

that will take attendees to the bevy of 

venues. Another of Pasadena’s most 

beautiful and historic landmarks, The 

Gamble House (4 Westmoreland Place) 

will offer rare night tours, enabling 

visitors to enjoy its 1908 electrical light 

fixtures and the mysterious electronic 

music of the Theremin, invented in 

1928. 

The newly revamped and expanded 

Jackie Robinson Community Center 

(1020 N. Fair Oaks Ave.) will throw its 

doors open for the masses to enjoy 

the timeless art of photographer Alfred 

Haymond, browse through the unique 

Jackie Robinson exhibits and revel in 

the music of the JazzZone ensemble. 

Other great music can be found when 

the inventive MUSE/IQUE orchestra 

presents “Under the Sea,” a night of 

live music, dancing, crafts, bubbles and 

more that kicks off its summer concert 

season called “Moving/Pictures.” 

Finally, one other stop worth 

spotlighting is the Pasadena Central 

Library (285 E. Walnut St.), which will 

kick off its 2019 One City, One Story 

program with a “Wild Wild West” night 

of events. Building off the fact that this 

year’s book is the Western-themed “In 

the Distance” by Hernan Diaz, the shindig 

will feature music, dance, shows 

and art. n

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


•FILM• 


Almost ‘Marvel’-ous 

‘CAPTAIN MARVEL’ PROVIDES SOMETIMES TOO MUCH FUN AS THE FIRST FEMALE-LED MCU FILM 

Nearly 20 movies into the superhero movie madness that is collectively 

known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Marvel 

Studios and its parent company Disney feel the need to keep 

topping themselves in terms of action, spectacle and noise. On Monday 

night, this insanity crossed over into the real skies across Los Angeles 

when six actual Thunderbird fighter jets raced across the city as part of 

the world-premiere hoopla for its latest offering, “Captain Marvel.” 

This show of extreme military force over a movie might seem a bit 

much, but it’s nothing compared to the dizzying mayhem unleashed 

onscreen at the height of this film’s frequent action sequences. The big 

difference this time is that this marks the first Marvel movie to feature 

a standalone female hero, finally catching up to DC Comics’ “Wonder 

Woman” a couple years back. 

It’s not quite likely to induce “Wonder” or make you “Marvel,” but it’s 

a fun escapade enough of the time to please fans of bombastic popcorn 

flicks and it sets up lots of key elements for the April 26 release of The 

Biggest Superhero Movie of All Time, “Avengers: Endgame.” That and 

the fact that she’s expected to be the great savior of the many Avengers 

who were wished out of existence at the end of their prior adventure, 

“Avengers: Infinity War” make this essential viewing for those planning 

to see “Endgame.” But for the average person, these are starting to get 

interchangeable and slightly annoying. 

“Marvel” opens in a trippy, almost psychedelic fashion, as a woman 

named Vers finds herself trapped in a nightmare in which she’s trapped 

in a landscape decimated by battle and soon veers into and out of a 

reality that reveals she’s part of the Kree civilization on another planet. 

She spends her days training in hand to hand combat and assorted 

Jedi-style tactics under the supervision of Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), with 

her biggest obstacle being the fact that she can’t control her temper — 

yet wants to master the ability to shoot ultra-powerful photon rays at 

will. 

When a mission to retrieve a Kree spy from enemy Skrull territory 

goes awry, a frantic (and frankly confusing) battle ensues that leads to 

her hopping in a pod-style spaceship and jetting off to a planet called 

C-53, aka Earth. Crash landing through the roof of a Blockbuster Video 

store in 1995, she finds she’s quickly forced into battle with a Skrull that 

has also crashed and has the ability to morph into anyone it touches. 

This leads to both a funny and rousing high-speed battle on a 

subway train between Vers (who soon takes on the Earth alias of 

fighter pilot Carol Danvers) and the Skrull in the form of an old woman. 

Seeing an old lady both throw down and get slammed around the inside 

of a subway car is certainly one of the most inventive and entertaining 

things I’ve seen in quite a while, and the mayhem also draws the 

hot pursuit of government agents Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and 

Coulson (Clark Gregg, who also stars as Coulson in the ABC/Marvel 

offshoot series “Agents of SHIELD”). 

As the agents force her to admit what’s going on, Fury is surprised 

to learn that both Vers (who winds up getting called Captain Marvel) 

and the Skrulls are in pursuit of an invention made by an Air Force 

scientist named Dr. Wendy Lawson (Annette Bening) that can enable 

movement at light speed. As they engage in their quest, they find that 

almost no one is what they seem on a surface level, and Vers learns 

that not only can she be powerful as a woman hero, but that sometimes 

keeping control of and channeling her emotions can be the greatest 

power of all. 

“Marvel” stands the strong risk of feeling like a “been there, done 

that” proposition considering how many MCU movies there have been. 

But in hiring the quirky independent-filmmaker team of Anna Boden 

and Ryan Fleck — who have previously built their careers around 

indie, character-driven dramedies — as its writing-directing team, 

Marvel has found a way to look at this from some fresh angles. 

The 1995 setting enables all sorts of nostalgic pop culture gags 

throughout, and for action scenes to be set to the strong pool of femaledriven 

rock that was available at that time. Larson, an Oscar-winner for 

the harrowing indie drama “Room,” also brings both emotional depth 

and a great deal of fun sass to her turn as the heroine. 

It also provides the fun of seeing Jackson as his younger self, thanks 

to the ace effects team digitizing Jackson’s actual image from that 

year into life atop his current body – resulting in him looking 25 years 

younger and starting the film without the eye patch that has become 

Fury’s trademark. 

In fact, the most fun part of the film lies in its moments that answer 

questions including how Fury lost an eye in the first place — trust me, 

you won’t harbor anywhere close to a decent guess. Plenty of other 

Easter eggs abound throughout, but the only wish I have is that this 

and future MCU movies remember to keep the human side as strong as 

the super heroics and not devolve into murky mayhem when the action 

hits. n 

“CAPTAIN MARVEL”: B 

GLASS 

Stars: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James 

McAvoy 

Length: 129 minutes 

Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan 

Rating: PG13 

A hybrid sequel to both “Unbreakable” and 

“Split,” “Glass” fulfills fanboy fantasies. All 

three leads are terrific as mortal enemies 

Willis and Jackson have to contend with the 

unstoppable monster criminal The Horde, 

played by James McAvoy, in a battle of 

wits and later brawn while kept under the 

mysterious watch of a shady psychiatrist. 

Grade: A 

THE FAVOURITE 

Stars: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel 

Weisz 


Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos 

Rating: R 

This twisted, wildly original historical comedy 

makes England’s Queen Anne secretly gay, 

while following the battle of wits and bodies 

between her prime assistant and a ruthless 

maid who will stop at no trick to come out on 

top. The film looks gorgeous, is shockingly 

funny, and the three Oscar-nominated 

actresses are clearly having a blast. So will 

you. Grade: A 

ROMA 

Stars: Yalitza Aparicio, Marina de Tavira, Diego 

Cortez 


Directed by: Alfonso Cuaron 

Rating: R 

Nominated for ten Oscars and beloved by most 

critics, this slice of life look at a year in the life 

of a poor maid working for a wealthy family 

while facing the prospect of single motherhood 

is gorgeously shot. But aside from that, it’s 

slow as molasses and will bore most normal 

folks to tears. Grade: D 

THE UPSIDE 

Stars: Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, Nicole 

Kidman 


Directed by: Neil Burger 

Rating: PG13 

This incredibly inspiring dramedy kicks the 

new movie year off right, as Kevin Hart plays 

a struggling man whose life changes when 

he becomes the caretaker for a paralyzed 

millionaire with a death wish - and winds up 

restoring his will to live. Terrific performances, 

and filled with laughs and (no pun intended) 

heart. Grade: A 

VICE 

Stars: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve 

Carell 


Directed by: Robert Zemeckis 

Rating: R 

Bale is utterly amazing in this off-the-wall 

biopic of Dick Cheney, who manipulated his 

way into having more power than any Vice 

President in history. Writer-director McKay 

brought the 2008 financial meltdown to vibrant 

Oscar-winning life in "The Big Short" and 

makes this nearly as engaging. Grade: B

NOTICE OF PUBLIC NOTICE 

Zoning Code Amendment 

Relating to Regulation 

of Sexually Oriented 

Businesses 

SUBJECT: On March 4, 2019, City 

Council adopted an amendment to 

Title 5, Chapter 5.45 of the Pasadena 

Municipal Code (PMC) to 

update business license and regulations 

relating to sexually oriented 

businesses. Prior to this, the sexually 

oriented business provisions 

in the PMC had not been updated 

since 2006. Changes in the law 

that apply to such businesses, and 

in the sexually oriented business 

industry itself, require an update 

and modernization of the PMC 

sections that govern these uses. 

Amendments are being proposed 

to the sexually oriented business 

provisions in Title 17 (Zoning 

Code) to bring the Zoning Code 

into consistency with the recently 

adopted Title 5 amendments. 

PROJECT LOCATION: All properties 

within the City of Pasadena. 

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMI- 

NATION: The City Council will 

consider whether adoption of the 

proposed Zoning Code Amendment 

is exempt from the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 

under Section 15061(b)(3), the 

“general ruleî that CEQA applies 

only to projects which have the 

potential for causing a signifi cant 

effect on the environment, and 

that where it can be seen with 

certainty that there is no possibility 

that the activity in question 

may have a signifi cant effect on 

the environment, the activity is 

not subject to CEQA. Since the 

proposed activity would not expand 

the locations in which these 

land uses may locate beyond what 

is currently allowed, there is no 

possibility that the amendments 

will have a signifi cant effect on the 

environment. 

Planning Commission Recommendation: 

On February 27, 

2019, the Planning Commission 

reviewed the proposed Zoning 

Code Amendment and recommended 

that the City Council fi nd 

that the Zoning Code Text Amendment 

is exempt from the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 

pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines 

Section 15061(b)(3) and adopt the 

proposed amendment. 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that 

the City Council will hold a public 

hearing to receive testimony, 

oral and written, on the proposed 

amendments to adult business 

provisions in Title 17 (Zoning 

Code). 

The hearing is scheduled for: 

Date: Monday, March 25, 2019 

Time: 6:30 p.m. 

Place: City Hall 

Council Chamber, Room 

S249 100 North Garfi eld Avenue

may appear at the meeting

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID- 

DERS: 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit

using the fi le number 

assigned to this case 18-52937. 

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
