MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 

PASADENA REMAINS FAITHFUL TO THE MARINE CORPS 

It’s the best kept secret in Pasadena. A reserve battalion of 

Marine Corps infantry is based in Pasadena on city–owned land 

adjacent to Victory Park. In their civilian life many of them are 

first responders including police officers, deputy sheriffs and 

firefighters. Last year they were called to active duty and during 

their deployment conducted bilateral and unilateral training 

exercises that spanned across four countries in the Indo-Pacific 

Area including Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. 

The 2d Battalion 23d Marine Regiment was activated in 

July 1942 and participated in the World War II campaigns of 

Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. Of the Marines who 

seized Iwo Jima it was said that “Uncommon valor was a 

common virtue.” 

Since World War II our Pasadena citizen-marines have been 

mobilized many times: Operation Desert Shield and Desert 

Storm; twice during Operation Enduring Freedom; and twice 

during Operation Iraqi Freedom during which they participated 

in the capture of Baghdad. Recently they were recognized as the 

best battalion in the entire Fourth Marine Division. 

Many of them live and work in the local area. They provide 

their services for color guards, military funeral honors, and 

participate in the Toys for Tots program over the holidays. In 

case of a natural disaster or emergency the 2d Battalion 23d 

Marine Regiment can augment Pasadena’s resources for both 

planning and response. Six years ago our citizen-marines 

became the adopted sons and daughters of Pasadena when the 

City Council, joining a movement that has paired cities with US 

military units since the 1960s, formally adopted the 2d Battalion 

23d Marine Regiment. 

In his inaugural address, President Kennedy said: “Ask not 

what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your 

country.” In placing service over self our citizen-marines have 

answered that question and in so doing are an example for all 

of us and a reminder of our obligations as Americans to our 

country. The measure of our worth is not fame or fortune but 

rather what we give back to our nation and our community. 

Prepared and professional, they stand ready to answer our 

nation’s call both at home and abroad. 

On May 3, they returned home from their deployment to 

Pasadena. A welcome home ceremony was held in front of City 

Hall. But instead of coming home to Pasadena they could have 

been coming home to March Air Force Base in Riverside. That 

almost happened 25 years ago. 

The Defense Department was closing down bases all over 

the country and consolidating and merging military units and 

operations. In Pasadena, the Marine Corps Reserve had based 

for many years the Fourth Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, 

a stinger missile battery. The building that housed the battalion 

was old and dilapidated. Their commanding officer came to City 

Hall, with orders for the relocation of the battalion to March 

Air Force Base in hand, to see if the city of Pasadena could do 

anything to keep his troops in Pasadena. We agreed to accept 

the mission. 

The first thing we did was to order a feasibility study. We 

determined that it would cost almost $7 million to build a 

new facility. We also made sure that the design would be of 

the highest quality and in a style in keeping with Pasadena 

traditions. We made the first 

of what would prove to be 

many trips to Washington, 

DC to lobby for the funding. 

We went to Marine Corps 

Headquarters and were 

told that the $7 million 

represented their entire 

annual construction budget. 

They told us that they had 

never had a city come to them 

to lobby to keep a reserve unit 

in their city. We convinced 

them to add it to their budget. 

Congress was convinced to 

add the project to the military 

appropriations bill and it was 

approved. And then President 

Clinton in the first exercise 

of the presidential line item 

veto removed it. We went 

back to Congress and got the 

two-thirds majority needed to 

override the presidential veto. 

Pasadena accomplished 

the mission. That’s why our 

citizen-marines are returning 

to this city. Just as they have 

remained always faithful 

to America, Pasadena has 

remained always faithful to 

them.

WORKING WONDERS 

VOLUNTEERS WITH SCHOOL ON WHEELS BRING THE JOY OF 

EDUCATION TO KIDS LIVING IN SHELTERS ON SKID ROW 

At the age of 9, Emily is a powerhouse of enthusiasm, and a bright button of 

inquisitiveness, knowledge and brainpower that puts her years ahead of her 

third-grade peers — even those in the best private schools in the region. 

Emily is so smart that she should probably be bumped up a couple of grades, just to 

keep her from getting bored. 

True, she attends an afterschool program, and about once each week gets a session 

with a tutor who’s focused primarily on her. 

Just another private school kid, right? Or a kid with all the right privileges and 

connections, right? 

Wrong. 

Emily, brilliant Emily, lives in a homeless shelter on LA’s Skid Row and attends one 

of LA’s worst-performing public schools. 

But Emily does go to an afterschool program, and does get tutoring — right around 

the corner from the shelter where she lives. She’s in a program for dozens of kids who 

walk some of the meanest streets in the world to get to where they spend the night. 

Hundreds of kids call Skid Row shelters “home,” making their education 

problematic, to say the least. 

Rising to that challenge, School On Wheels operates its Skid Row Learning Center 

(SRLC) inside a storefront at the epicenter of LA’s human misery. It’s a bright, cheery, 

and (most importantly) safe space, where kids get a filling snack, then an hour for 

homework and tutoring, followed by structured free time spent working puzzles, 

playing video games and reading. Despite the dysfunction in their lives, students often 

demonstrate unexpected self-control. When an older, larger student takes over a game, 

a young boy simply lets him, walks away to find something else to do, and explains, 

“He’s just that way.” 

Every weekday afternoon and each Saturday morning the SRLC is open for the kids 

— then the rollup steel doors that keep it protected are rolled back down and securely 

locked. 

Outside, reality is a continuous-looping post-apocalyptic zombie movie, with 

drugged-out and mentally-ill people staggering through the streets. What happens on 

those streets cannot be unseen, and these kids see it every day, sometimes spending 

years in shelters. It has an impact. 

Emily is the stunning exception at the SRLC. It requires continued effort to keep 

her engaged because she’s so perspicacious. Most kids fall further and further behind 

in their studies, as life on Skid Row takes its toll on their study time and their ability to 

simply get a good night’s sleep. 

A student at SRLC two grades ahead of Emily struggles to finish an assignment that 

Emily completed in a few minutes. 

Another student, noticeably small for her age, is distracted by even quiet sounds in 

the room. She knows how to do her math, but loses focus and begins to yawn — likely 

because she couldn’t sleep through the night. She’s nearly three weeks late turning in 

the assignment. 

That’s typical of student performance on Skid Row. 

And things get worse, not better, when the holidays roll around. 

Spring break for Skid Row kids means less time in the structured environment of 

school and SRLC and more time being passed around to other family members as their 

parents work — or try to find work. Ask a shelter kid what they did for spring break and 

the typical answer isn’t very exciting: “I just missed school and my friends.” 

Most kids look forward to spring break. For Skid Row kids, it’s often just another 

upheaval to endure. 

But days off from school aren’t always bad. Recently, a large group of kids from the 

SRLC took a bus ride to Pasadena on a school holiday and spent several hours enjoying 

pizza and skating at Pasadena’s Ice Skating Center. Made possible by a grant from the 

Looker Foundation, the trip was a chance for the kids to see the softer side of city life 

and experience something few of them ever had. 

Most days at the SRLC, there are a few volunteer tutors in addition to the staff 

members who keep things on track. In an ideal world, there’d be one tutor for each child 

every day, but that’s not the case. There just aren’t enough folks who take that time out 

of their day to help the most-at-risk kids in our region. 

You can make a significant difference in the lives of these children. Donating 

money to School On Wheels is a good start. Far better is donating your time to the kids 

themselves — even just an hour or two each week will work wonders. ■ 

Longtime education and social activist Rene Amy lives in Altadena. Emily isn’t the student’s real 

name, but she is quite real. SchoolOnWheels.org welcomes your fi nancial support and volunteer 

hours.

The developer of a controversial housing project scheduled to 

be built on property that was once a former naval torpedo 

testing facility said he would request the site be tested for 

chemicals used in explosives. 

Trammell Crow Co. (TCC) wants to build 500 residential units 

at 3200 E. Foothill Blvd., in East Pasadena, currently the site of 

Space Bank, a public storage business. The project would include 

69 affordable rental units, proposed subterranean parking and 

above-ground parking structures, landscaping and nearly 10,000 

square feet of retail and restaurant space. 

Caltech used the site for research into jet propulsion in 

the 1930s and maintained it during World War II. The Navy

WRONG WAY 

POLICE FIRE AT TEENS IN 

ONCOMING VEHICLE AT THE 

END OF CHASE 

Authorities plan to release video of a 

shooting in which police opened fire on 

a pair of male teenagers, one of whom 

allegedly drove the car the two were in at 

investigating officers, said Police Chief 

John Perez. 

“We stand by our officers as this incident 

is being investigated from the criminal, 

administrative and civil standpoint,” 

said Perez. “My officers were courageous 

in their efforts to protect the public and 

control a hazardous scene.” 

Just after 10 p.m. May 2, police were 

following the two 17-year-olds around the 

1300 block of North Raymond Avenue, 

near the entrance of Mountain View Mortuary, 

Cemetery and Crematory, located 

near the corner of Raymond Avenue and 

Woodbury Road. The car crashed into a 

curb near the cemetery gate, stopped and 

was turned off, according to a statement 

issued by Lt. Jason Clawson. 

By then, up to seven officers were at 

the scene, their vehicles blocking the car 

being driven by the teens, said Lt. Jesse 

Carrillo. 

But just as police started to approach, 

the unidentified driver started the car, 

now missing its rear passenger side tire, 

turned the vehicle around and drove at the 

officers, Carrillo said. One of the officers 

fired two rounds, bringing the car to a 

stop and the chase to an end, said Carrillo. 

No one was hurt in the incident and 

two boys from Pasadena and Monrovia 

were arrested on suspicion of assault with 

a deadly weapon. The owner of the car 

was not immediately known. 

The department is not releasing the 

names of the suspects due to their ages. 

The driver was booked into Juvenile Hall 

and the passenger was released to a family 

member. The teenager from Pasadena 

was driving the vehicle, Clawson said. 

The video will include footage from 

the police officers’ body worn cameras 

and dashboard footage recorded by police 

cruisers.

BRIEFS 

COUNCIL MOVES 

HAMPTON BECOMES VICE MAYOR; 

MASUDA ANNOUNCES BID FOR THIRD 

TERM 


District 4 Pasadena City Councilman Gene Masuda 

will be seeking a third term on the Pasadena City Tyrone Hampton 

Council. 

In other City Hall news, District 1 Councilman Tyron Hampton was 

named vice mayor, replacing Councilman John Kennedy in that position. He 

will serve as vice mayor until December 2020. 

The vice mayor is a rotating position. Unlike the mayor, which is a citywide 

elected position, the vice mayor is selected by the council. Hampton 

was unanimously chosen by Mayor Terry Tornek and his fellow council 

members in December. Before coming to the council in 2015, Hampton 

served two years as a member of the Pasadena Board of Education. 

Masuda, a strong supporter of public education, served as board 

member of the Pasadena Educational Foundation, which raises millions of 

dollars for the Pasadena Unified School District. 

Masuda first unsuccessfully ran for the City Council in 2007 against 

incumbent Steve Haderlein. In 2011, he pulled off an upset victory over Jill 

Fosselman — who was endorsed by every member of the City Council — 

after Haderlein stepped down. 

Masuda ran unopposed in 2015. Since coming to the council, Masuda 

has successfully advocated for pension reforms and halting mansionization. 

In a statement announcing his intentions to run again, Masuda pointed 

to his record of “working to fight overdevelopment and traffic in order to 

maintain the character and beauty of residential neighborhoods.” 

Masuda and his wife Joanne moved to Pasadena in 1985 with his two 

sons. His parents, Sam and Alice, were among thousands of Japanese 

Americans interned and held in separate “relocation centers” shortly after 

the bombing of Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II. 

The family reunited in Boyle Heights, where Masuda grew up. 

Masuda’s district is based in East Pasadena and includes upper and 

lower Hastings Ranch, Daisy-Willa, Eaton Blanche, Eaton Wash, Eaton 

Canyon Wash, parts of Orange Grove, Fox Ridge/Canyon Close, Loma Vista, 

Sierra Madre Villa and Victory Rose. n

PASADENA POLICE CITE HUNDREDS 

OF PEOPLE IN APRIL FOR 

DISTRACTED DRIVING 


Pasadena police officers wrote 639 tickets to people 

who chose to do other things while driving their Lt. Mark Goodman 

cars in April, Distracted Driver Month. 

“These operations hit especially close to home for the officers who 

responded to a fatal collision that took place in 2016 that was directly linked 

to distracted driving,” said Lt. Mark Goodman. 

In that incident, a 19-year old man collided with another car while 

speeding and watching a music video on his cell phone. A 41-year-old 

mother and her 18-year-old daughter were killed in the crash. 

According to Goodman, 363 of the citations were for texting while 

driving, an additional 89 people were cited for failing to use a hands free 

device while talking on a phone. According to Goodman, 187 people were 

cited for unnamed violations. 

Drivers are prohibited from having a phone in their hand, and can only 

use their phone in a hands-free manner. The phones must be mounted on 

the dashboard, windshield or center console, and can only be touched once 

with the swipe or tap of a finger to activate or deactivate a function. 

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), 66 people were 

killed and more than 6,500 injured in 2017 from distracted driving-related 

crashes. 

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution in 

2010 to recognize April as Distracted Driver Awareness Month. 

Shelley Forney began advocating against distracted drivers after her 

daughter Erica was killed on Nov. 25, 2008 by a driver looking down at a 

cell phone while driving. Erica was struck in the head while riding her bike 

from school. She was less than a half-block from her home. 

“Our officers write citations almost daily to people who are texting and 

driving or failing to use a hands-free device,” Goodman said. “While we 

may focus resources specifically on distracted driving during the month 

of April, rest assured that our ongoing focus on traffic safety, including 

distracted driving, happens throughout the year. Our goal is to make 

Pasadena a safer place to drive, walk and bike every day.”

has determined that RDX is a possible human 

carcinogen based on the presence of liver tumors 

in mice that were exposed to RDX for one to two 

years. People who inhaled large amounts of dust 

containing RDX suffered seizures. 

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) can cause birth defects, 

spleen enlargement and abnormal liver function, 

according to the EPA. 

“You’re 100 percent correct. We will be testing 

for the chemicals as requested,” said Cox after 

Councilman Victor Gordo, along with Councilman 

John Kennedy, prodded him for a guarantee at the 

April 29 meeting of the City Council. 

Gordo and Councilman Gene Masuda, whose 

district includes the property in question, have been 

the staunchest critics of the project on the City 

Council and have repeatedly called on Mayor Terry 

Tornek to bring the project back to the council for 

further consideration. 

Gordo, Masuda and Councilman Tyron Hampton 

unsuccessfully opposed the project last July. 

Gordo took the DTSC to task at the council’s 

April 29 meeting, citing a February state 

Senate report that pointed out the department’s 

shortcomings in “fiscal mismanagement, 

inconsistent record keeping, insufficient 

administrative processes and lack of transparency.” 

After a meeting in March with more than 100 

community members, Gordo and Masuda sent 

a letter to the DTSC demanding the review date 

of the RAW be extended by 90 days. Instead, the 

DTSC agreed to a 21-day extension, pushing the 

deadline to April 30, prompting Tornek to send a 

similar letter, which was also denied. However, the 

city received a break after the DTSC mistakenly 

began listing the review deadline as May 14, and 

later agreed to honor that date due to the error, 

according to City Manager Steve Mermell. 

Tornek said a great deal of misinformation has 

been spread about the project. 

“I think there’s a misunderstanding,” Tornek 

said. “I think what people have been told is that 

if the work begins that the housing is going to go 

ahead without the site being cleaned up. That’s not 

correct. The site must be cleaned up and certified 

before the housing can proceed. And so that I think 

is the misinformation, the feeling that if they start 

to move dirt on the site that means that people are 

going to be moved onto a toxic site. And that’s not 

correct. They have to move the dirt to remove the 

toxic materials, but they won’t be allowed to build 

the housing until the state has certified that the site 

has been remediated.” 

If the cleanup is not completed properly, the city 

could take legal steps to force the removal of the 

toxins. 

According to Cox, TCC is only requesting the 

testing to alleviate concerns of nearby neighbors.

“The DTSC Removal Action Work plan does not 

currently include testing for RDX and TNT because 

the site was used for the research and development, 

and not the manufacturing of delivery systems for 

torpedoes,” said Cox. “There is no evidence that 

these substances, which are used in warheads, 

were used on the site.” 

Cox said the group will ask for a clean-up plan if 

the chemicals are discovered at the site. 

“It’s essential that the future Pasadena residents 

who will reside in this project are living in a safe 

environment, and their health is protected from any 

impacts of materials onsite or in the groundwater,” 

said Councilwoman Margaret McAustin. “The 

DTSC has jurisdiction over the cleanup, but I 

think the city’s engagement of a consultant with 

expertise in this area to provide us with additional 

assurances as to the adequacy of the DTSC work 

and fulfillment of the Removal Action Work Plan 

imposed on the developer will give us an extra level 

of certainty as to the actions planned and properly 

undertaken to remediate the site.” 

Councilman Andy Wilson said he still supports 

the project but called for all health concerns to be 

dealt with. 

“Health and safety issues must be fully 

addressed,” Wilson said. “I understand that some 

community members feel the plan in this area is 

insufficient.” 

Representatives from Trammell say that the 

weapons were not manufactured at the site. Critics 

disagree with that claim and say other weapons 

could have been manufactured at the site under 

classified designations, leaving behind dangerous 

carcinogens and toxins that could create health 

risks if the state agency does not plan a full cleanup. 

Recent environmental tests indicate the 

presence of hazardous materials in the soil and soil 

vapor, and potentially in groundwater beneath the 

property. 

Local residents claimed victory after TCC 

agreed to the tests and credited the city for hiring 

the consulting company Alta Environmental to 

monitor the cleanup. 

“Even though it was well known that RDX, a 

neurotoxin, was used in rockets and torpedoes 

manufactured on the 3200 E. Foothill Blvd site, 

the Department of Toxic Substances Control 

failed to require the developer to include it among 

the Contaminants of Concern (COC) destined 

for removal,” wrote Gary Smith in an update on a 

online petition calling for full testing and cleanup 

of the site. 

“This victory took place largely because the 

city of Pasadena hired an outside consultant, Alta 

Environmental, to evaluate whether the RAW was 

adequate to protect the safety of children,” Smith 

wrote. n

SPOTLIGHT ON 

ARTISTS AND SCIENTISTS PRESENT MACH 

33: THE CALTECH-PASADENA PLAYHOUSE 

FESTIVAL OF NEW SCIENCE-DRIVEN PLAYS 

BY BLISS BOWEN 

SCIENCE 

Who gets to be a scientist? What does our attitude toward science 

say about us as a society? What do we do if we possess scientific 

knowledge but society won’t listen? 

Those are some themes addressed in the three plays receiving staged readings 

this weekend during Mach 33: the Caltech-Pasadena Playhouse Festival of 

New Science-Driven Plays, part of the Playhouse’s ongoing community outreach 

efforts. Intended to “energize the conversations about scientific, mathematical, 

and technological questions,” the readings will be followed by panel 

discussions with scientists from Caltech and JPL. 

Interestingly, all three plays are period pieces. James Armstrong’s “Bones of 

the Sea,” helmed by London-born director/actor Satya Bhabha, concerns 19thcentury 

British paleontologist Mary Anning and her landmark discoveries despite 

establishment bias against her because she was not formally schooled, 

wealthy, an Anglican, or a man. Susan Bernfield’s “Sizzle, Sizzle, Fly,” 

directed by Rhonda Kohl (who choreographed and assistant directed 

the Playhouse’s recent production of “Native Gardens”), time travels to 

the 1960s, when miniskirted “computress” Frances “Poppy” Northcutt 

became the first woman to join NASA’s Mission Control team. 

Award-winning playwright Kristin Idaszak’s “The Surest Poison,” 

directed by LA-based Randee Trabitz, applies hardboiled noir 

style to a Prohibition-era mystery that imagines real-life toxicologist 

Alexander Gettler and flapper reporter Lois “Lipstick” 

Long teaming to solve a murder. 

Taking its title from Ralph Waldo Emerson (“the surest poison 

is time”), “The Surest Poison” gathers dramatic momentum from Gettler’s mandate 

to “teach juries how to understand science.” The intersection of science 

and law was not well traveled in the pre-“Law & Order” 1920s, and civilians and 

law officers alike needed to be educated about scientific breakthroughs — 

and processes required for scientific findings to be reliable. (That remains 

true, as recent discoveries concerning blood spatter patterns have upended 

courtroom proceedings.) 

Like Armstrong and Bernfield, Idaszak, the daughter of chemical engineers, 

revised her script following input from Caltech’s Dr. Jay Labinger, 

who offered fruitful observations about how to stay faithful to scientific 

processes while making experiments onstage “legible” to audiences. 

“Because of the narratives that have entered our collective 

understanding around ‘CSI’ and how sophisticated our 

technology and science is, it doesn’t always tie up as neatly 

or translate as perfectly as we see on these [TV] shows. In 

some ways there is a continuing refining of how science and 

jurisprudence go together. 

“I am an expert in neither of these things; my training is 

firmly as a playwright,” notes Idaszak, who is also artistic director of Chicago’s 



Poppy Northcutt 

SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE 


Cloudgate Theatre. “But what I was struck by in researching Gettler was how 

extremely rigorous he was. … He did immense work across many, many, many 

toxins and poisons and substances. I focused on two of his major accomplishments: 

his developing testing for cyanide, [and] his work essentially processing 

and dealing with the effects of Prohibition.” 

Bernfield, who describes herself as a “very rhythmic” writer, says she was 

drawn to the plosives and interesting sounds in math’s vocabulary while researching 

“Sizzle, Sizzle, Fly.” She laughs while recalling how validated she felt 

when her Caltech adviser said she got the numbers and their terminology right. 

Then she asked him about thinking. 

“Dramatizing thinking onstage is a bit of a conundrum, but I find thinking 

really fascinating as an activity,” she explains. “He described two different ways 

of thinking: one is figuring out how to solve a problem, which is ‘looking at blue 

sky’ thinking; and the other is actually solving the problem using what you figured 

out.” 

It’s pertinent because, while the blonde, twenty-something Poppy Northcutt’s 

bold fashion sense grabbed eyeballs and press attention, it was her mathematical 

brilliance that earned her a position alongside career NASA engineers; she subsequently 

helped design the trajectory for Apollo 8 and also helped land Apollo 

13. Making that intellectual process engaging without a filmmaker’s cinematic 

tools, and without fetishizing Northcutt’s femininity, goes to the play’s core. 

“The amazing thing I learned about NASA, the reason it worked, was its 

organizational structure,” Bernfield explains. “These teams were incredibly collaborative, 

and then they were pitted against each other to see who was gonna 

come up with stuff first. They had so little time, so if you could do it, you were on 

the team. … There was a lot of pressure on her, but it wasn’t what we expect. She 

could do the work and they needed her.” 

Recent films like “Hidden Figures” have celebrated the many women involved 

in early computer research and coding. Later, that cultural condition shifted, 

and fewer women became engineers. Bernfield, who is also artistic director of a 

woman-focused theater company (New Georges), wants people to ask why. 

“Structures didn’t really exist at NASA to get in the way of people advancing 

in this field; they just needed people who could get the work done,” Bernfield observes. 

“In the meantime we’ve actually put together more structures that have 

kept people out. That’s a really interesting lesson.” 

Armstrong, Bernfield and Idaszak all touch on science’s value, and questions 

of privilege. Idaszak hopes audiences will discuss the appropriate role for artists, 

journalists, policy makers and scientists in advocating for “robust institutional 

change,” and the varied means by which “vulnerable groups” can be harmed and 

also helped by science. 

“Who is allowed to be considered a scientist?” Armstrong asks rhetorically. 

“So frequently our image of the scientist is a balding old white guy in a lab coat. 

Nothing against balding old white guys in lab coats — they’re some of my favorite 

people — but that’s not the only type of person who gets to be a scientist. Mary 

Anning didn’t fit into images of who a scientist was [in the 1800s], and still doesn’t 

fit into images of what a scientist is today. Yet she was so influential. … Who are 

you if you are both the woman who has provided half of the fossils in the British 

Museum and you’re also the woman who is a small business owner, has this fossil 

shop down the street, and just hangs out with other working-class folks?” 

Anning died in 1847, after discovering fossils along England’s Jurassic coast 

that helped change prevailing beliefs about prehistoric life. At the time people 

were slowly coming to grips with anthropological and scientific discoveries, and 

Christian churches were a powerful presence in civic life. Today, on the other 

side of the Industrial Revolution and deep in the throes of the Information Age, 

religion and science are stereotyped as opposing forces. “Bones of the Sea” is 

logically set in the 19th century — as are several other Armstrong plays, because, 

he says, “so much of what we are as a society today and who we are today 

was set up then. 

“The way in which we talk about things like science and faith frequently 

grows out of things that happened in the 19th century. So if you really want to 

understand where we are now, you often have to see where we’ve come from.” ■

GRANVILLE OFFERS A ROMANTIC TOUCH 

WHILE HIRONORI BRINGS A NEW APPROACH 

TO RAMEN 

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE / PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

April saw the opening of two must-try new restaurants — 

Granville and HiroNori Craft Ramen. Both sit between 

Colorado and Del Mar boulevards on South Lake Avenue 

and could make for one great day if you spread your visits out 

because at both places you are going to find a multitude of 

options. 

Granville is one of those uber-hip spots where the wait staff 

wears gingham dress shirts and the entire place is decorated 

straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog. You have seen places 

like Granville before — in any movie or TV show in which two 

beautiful actresses banter over dinner in a dark, amber lit bar 

with half-empty martini glasses. That is what Granville feels 

like. The bar area where I ate was all dark wood tables, leather 

seats and lit by a natural glow. If I were a single man, Granville

HANDLED WITH CARE 


would definitely be where I brought Tinder matches 

— and then when they asked me how I found such 

a cool place I would just casually mention that I 

covered it during my travels as a food writer. 

Hats off to Granville, they have made themselves 

available for almost any type of dining experience. 

They offer lunch and dinner all week long, and on 

weekends they have brunch options available until 

mid-afternoon. The menu options bounce from 

vegan and gluten-free to comfort food, pasta and 

seafood. Their menu is expansive, covering enough 

options to make Cheesecake Factory blush. 

Comfortable in different worlds seems to be 

the theme of Pasadena’s Granville location. The 

massive three-story restaurant has divided the 

spaces into separate dining experiences. The 

downstairs bar has bar-top and large picnic style 

tables. There is a downstairs dining room with 

a tree in the center which, if my cursory interior 

design knowledge is accurate, is the more casual, 

family dining or fast-lunch space. Then there is 

the rooftop bar, three stories up overlooking the 

city and the nearby foothills. There’s lounge-style 

seating, greenery and bistro lights hanging above. I 

struggle to find another way to say it, but every bit 

of this place is just … cool. 

The Dessert Sampler ($14) from Granville takes 

the cake as the most romantic menu item I have 

ever had. It comes with three of their desserts; 

the berry patch shortcake, a brulee'd banana 

brownie, and devil’s advocate flourless chocolate 

cake. Beautifully plated, and served in reasonably 

sized portions so that you do not get over-stuffed 

but large enough to share and actually experience 

them. I most enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake, 

surprising as I do not usually seek out gluten-free 

options, so I did not know what to expect when 

removing the flour from the recipe. What came was 

an unstructured, warm chocolate cake — more 

akin to a bittersweet hot fudge cake topped with 

a dollop of cream. For best results mix the cream 

with the cake as the two distinctive flavors need 

to intermix on your palate rather than be tasted 

separately. The sampler is worth being ordered in 

any area, but for more suave points — I would get 

order it at the rooftop bar with their signature Gran 

Fashioned ($12) made with Elijah Craig bourbon, 

three different types of bitters, molasses and cherry 

port. 

Whereas Granville is a sprawling do-everything 

dining experience, HiroNori does fewer things — 

all of them well. 

The core of HiroNori is the ramen. They have 

three different varieties: tonkotsu ($11.30), shoyu 

($10.50) and vegan ($12.50). Tonkotsu broth is 

traditionally made from pork and has a creamy, 

almost milky consistency. At HiroNori their 

tonkotsu is boiled for 24 hours. Traditionally, shoyu 

broth is made from a simmering of soy sauce, bones 

and vegetables and has more of a salty taste. Their 

vegan broth is a sesame miso base and has enough 

non-vegetarians recommending it that I know it 

must be pretty impressive. 

The tonkotsu comes with pork chatsu, green 

onion, spinach seaweed, bean sprouts, half of 

a boiled egg and wood ear mushrooms. It can 

be ordered with traditional thin noodles or the 

HiroNori thick noodles at no extra charge. 

The pork chatsu had enough crispness on 

the outside and was tender enough to break 

apart with chopsticks and eat comfortably. The 

richness of the boiled egg paired well with the 

broth and the noodles absorbed all of the flavors 

the broth had been simmering in for the last day. 

It was most filling and satisfying bowl of soup I 

have ever had. 

They take their service seriously. I was 

accompanied by a college friend who moonlights 

as a ramen blogger, and the service staff took his 

million questions in absolute stride and, dare I say, 

enthusiasm while talking about the intricacies of 

the ramen and even the regions the chefs are from. 

I was prepared to leave a generous tip to apologize 

for my partner's incessant questions but uniquely 

HoriNori bypasses tipping altogether, replacing it 

with a 15 percent service charge that is divided up 

between the wait and kitchen staff. 

So next time you head down Lake Avenue, you 

can watch sunset over the Foothills, or eat a bowl 

of ramen that was clearly made with care. Get 

there early though, because both spots are already 

developing some dedicated followings.

Stowell Learning Center opens in Pasadena 

More than 15 million students and families suffer 

with learning challenges. 

“Sadly, it is a common belief that if you have 

dyslexia or a learning disability you’re just stuck 

with it and have to learn to live with it or find ways 

around it. That is simply not true and not fair,” said 

Jill Stowell, best-selling author of “At Wit’s End — A 

Parent’s Guide to Ending the Struggle, Tears and 

Turmoil of Learning Disabilities,” and founder of Stowell Learning Centers. 

On Monday, May 13, Stowell Learning Center opens in Pasadena, 

providing hope and real solutions for children and adults with learning and 

attention challenges. 

Stowell Learning Center opened in 1984 to help children and adults with 

dyslexia and other attention and learning challenges become successful, 

confident, independent learners. Their experience with thousands of 

students has shown that most learning and attention challenges can be 

dramatically improved or completely corrected permanently. 

Stowell Learning Center is at 572 E. Green St, Suite 200, Pasadena.

Dear Patti, 

My husband unexpectedly passed away 10 years ago. He was only 52 and I 

was 45. We owned a very successful company in the athletics support business — 

not only was my husband an athlete, but he was also a genius in business. When 

my husband died, I was devastated. However, I took over the business and over 

the last decade it’s doubled in profitability and size. I’ve had many suitors whom 

I’ve enjoyed immensely, but mostly I’ve focused on the firm, creating a legacy in 

honor of my husband. 

In the last 15 months I’ve secretly been seeing someone who is completely 

inappropriate. Kelvin is a nerdy genius scientist who I met at a fundraiser. 

I remember on that evening he explained that his name stands for the unit of 

measurement for temperature. He’s 32 years old; I’m 55. Kelvin is skinny, pale, 

a little weird, and overly intellectual — the antithesis of the athletes working 

for our corporation. Oddly enough, in spite of the ridiculous age difference, the 

chemistry between us was instantaneous. We became lovers fairly quickly. I was 

thinking that this fling would soon burn out but it’s becoming deeper and more 

profound. Kelvin is the first man since my husband that has completely captured 

my heart. 

I’ve never felt so beautiful or alive in a relationship. The sex is incredible. He 

always makes me laugh. He treats me like I’m classy, beautiful, brilliant and unbelievably 

special — feelings that are totally new to me. In my world, youth and 

overt sexuality always win, but with Kelvin it feels like I never have to compete. 

I’m not in denial. I know this relationship probably won’t work for the long 

term and that I’m headed for complete heartbreak. We are very different and 

while we are wonderful together, we would have a hard time living in each 

other’s worlds. I know I should I break it off now, so I don’t fall more in love and 

become even more attached than I already am. But I hate the idea of going back 

to my old life deadened and empty without him. 

— Kaylee 

Dear Kaylee, 

There’s always a risk of heartbreak when you lose someone you deeply love. And, 

yes, there’s a greater possibility of that happening when there’s not only a large 

age discrepancy, but also different financial and education levels, social statuses, 

dreams and ambitions, and dissimilar developmental life stages. The hardship 

of sustaining such a fragile relationship is very high. It’s not my place to tell you 

whether you should or shouldn’t take a risk. Only you can decide whether you’ll look 

back in 10 years with regret for being so romantically impulsive or disappointed that 

you didn’t see it through to its end, whenever that may be. 

Sometimes in life, a mentor can arrive in a form you least expect, and it seems 

like this is the case here. Despite this man’s unusual demeanor and lack of athletic 

prowess like you’re used to, he’s coaching you to open yourself up to new experiences, 

open your heart, and connect to undiscovered aspects of yourself. He’s supporting 

you to value your beauty, sexuality, and intelligence. No matter what happens, 

Kelvin has given you invaluable lessons; respect him for that. 

While he’s very good at inspiring these lovely parts of your personality, realize 

that a lot of what you feel when you’re with him are actually parts of your personality 

that can come out whenever you want. It may hurt deeply if and when this relationship 

ends, but it will hurt less if you take a fuller and more complete self with 

you. Likewise, you’re teaching him valuable lessons he’ll always remember. After 

the experience of being accepted and loved by someone he views as classy and brilliant, 

he might possibly be changed for the better. 

Among the many reasons there’s a strong chemistry is the possibility that — even 

if he doesn’t merit a lifetime commitment — the exchange between you two enhances 

you both in some fashion. For as long as you stay in the relationship, be respectful 

of Kelvin, his feelings, and what he has helped awaken in you. If and when the 

honeymoon aspect starts to wear off, don’t respond to him as a broken person needing 

to be fixed. Nor should you allow him to do the same to you. Appreciate that 

you’ve given each other the gift of feeling what it’s like to be cherished and loved, for 

however long it endures. n

SON 

LEGENDARY JOHNNY MATHIS, APPEARING 

AT THE PASADENA CIVIC AUDITORIUM, 

FONDLY RECALLS THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY ON 

HIS STELLAR CAREER 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

Growing up as the fourth of seven children, it took a lot to get noticed in Johnny 

Mathis’ household — but everyone took notice whenever he sang in church. 

His voice was stunning from his earliest years in small-town Texas and San 

Francisco, so much so that his father went to incredible lengths to fuel his interest in 

music. 

Clem Mathis had worked briefly as a musician back in Texas playing the piano 

and singing on stage, and taught his son many songs and routines, starting with “My 

Blue Heaven” when Johnny was 8. Johnny was the most eager music student in the 

family, and sang in the church choir, school functions, community events, for visitors 

in their home, as well as amateur shows in the San Francisco area. 

That boyhood devotion has paid off handsomely for Mathis, who has sold 350 million 

records worldwide, earned five Grammy nominations and been inducted into the 

Grammy Hall of Fame during a career that has lasted for more than 60 years since 

his breakthrough in 1955. He will be performing a rare concert at the Pasadena Civic 

Auditorium next Thursday, May 16, in a night that will include dozens of the most 

romantic songs of the pop music era.

brothers and sisters to join him, but I was the 

only one who showed any interest,” recalls 

Mathis, whose brother Ralph later became a 

popular singer in the Los Angeles area, with 

a longtime residency at the popular former 

nightclub Jax Bar & Grill in Glendale. “He 

[his father] showed up at this apartment we 

lived in with a bunch of sticks one night, 

dragged it all into the little living room and 

spent hours and hours at night doing something 

and we woke up the next morning and 

he had constructed a piano. 

“From that time on, I was hooked on singing 

and listening to my dad who was my best 

pal, the beginning of a wonderful life not 

only musically but a connection with my father 

who is always fresh in my mind,” Mathis 

adds. “He was a wonderful, wonderful man 

who with my mom raised seven children in 

a tiny house. We never wanted for anything, 

especially music.” 

When Johnny was 13, Clem helped his 

son land one of the best vocal teachers in the 

Bay Area, Connie Cox, leading to six years 

of learning vocal scales and exercises, voice 

production, classical and operatic skills. At 

the same time, Mathis was also renowned for 

his remarkable athletic abilities at George 

Washington High School, where he was a 

star athlete on the track and field team as a 

high jumper and hurdler and played on the 

basketball team. 

Enrolling at San Francisco State College 

(now University) in 1954, Mathis intended to be 

an English and physical education teacher and 

set a school record on the high jump. Coaches 

with the Olympics came calling, and he 

seemed ready to pursue that opportunity fully 

when he suddenly was signed by a manager for 

his singing and she convinced Columbia Records 

to offer him a contract at the age of 19. 

“I think if you ask most kids what they 

do, they have time to do everything because 

you have energy when you’re young,” Mathis 

says, when asked how he managed to excel 

at both sports and music while engaged in 

college. “I was also president of my student 

body. That was what I did, buoyed by the 

enthusiasm voice teachers and coaches 

showed on my behalf. They were excited for 

me to participate and that was the foundation 

for my learning, especially music. I was 

a very, very lucky person.” 

Mathis, 83, had already fallen in love 

with the standards sung by jazzy stars like 

Lena Horne and Nat King Cole during his 

forays into San Francisco’s nightclubs with 

his father as a teen. Thus, it wasn’t difficult 

to slip into the role of romantic crooner at a 

time when the musical tastes of his teenage 

peers were quickly shifting to the revved-up 

energy of rock and roll. 

He was summoned to New York City in 

1956 to record his first album at the incredibly 

young age of 19, with his family banking 

that if the recording industry didn’t work out 

he could always resume his college studies. 

That first album was a collection of jazzoriented 

renditions of popular stand ards 

titled “Johnny Mathis: A New Sound In Popular 

Song.” The album enjoyed only moderate 

success because jazz vocal albums were not 

good sellers, but Mathis got a second shot 

that same year when he was paired with 

mega-producer Mitch Miller. 

Miller favored using Mathis’ voice to sing 

soft, romantic ballads, and that instinct paid 

off when the singer recorded smash hits 

“Wonderful, Wonderful” and “It’s Not For 

Me to Say.” His first No.1, “Chances Are,” followed 

shortly afterward. 

“Most of the decisions I made about 

what I would sing were because of the 

timbre and quality of my voice,” explains 

Mathis. “I had the capabilities of singing 

very high and low, loud and soft, because 

of my voice lessons. We needed songs that 

would challenge me and the pop songs 

weren’t, so my voice teacher got me involved 

in classical music. 

“We concentrated on singing songs that 

taxed my vocal qualities, as opposed to what 

was on the radio,” he adds. “It wasn’t that I 

didn’t want to sing pop music, but we wanted 

to enhance my vocal qualities with opera. 

From the time I was 13 years old in voice 

lessons we spent a lot of time singing opera. 

I ended up singing the pop songs of the day, 

but I did get the essence of vocal quality and 

using your voice to its fullest extent by my 

singing classical music.” 

Mathis really took off when he appeared 

on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in June 1957, 

resulting in millions of copies sold for both 

his albums and singles. The demand for “the 

velvet voice,” as he came to be known, was 

so great that he often had four albums at 

a time on the Billboard charts, and within 

two years Columbia Records released his 

first greatest-hits album. The album set a 

Guinness World Record by appearing for 

490 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Top 

Albums chart. 

“When you’re young like that, you expect 

to go to the moon and if you get halfway 

you’re happy,” he laughs. “Yes, I had a lot 

of success. When I made my recordings, I 

was by myself in New York working with 

my producers, but I didn’t have any success 

for about a year. My parents sent me money 

occasionally, but they didn’t have much. 

“If I hadn’t had the success with singing 

records, I would have gone back home to San 

Francisco and started over again, but I was 

very, very fortunate,” he adds. “From the first 

hit, it just went on and on and on. It has been 

a blessing for me.” n 

Johnny Mathis will perform at 8 p.m next Thursday, 

May 16 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 300 E. 

Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $59 to $99. Visit

Ani DiFranco’s new memoir 

“No Walls and the Recurring 

Dream” is essentially 

an unconventional journey of 

discovery — of beliefs, of freedom, 

of her contradictory self, 

and above all of music and its 

ineffable power. From her early 

childhood, when she instinctively 

willed herself into self-reliance 

in a family imploding inside a 

two-story brick carriage house 

with virtually no interior walls 

(“the donut house”), through 

2001, when 9/11 and then-husband 

Andrew “Goat” Gilchrist’s motorcycle 

crash sparked life-changing 

revelations, “No Walls” traces 

DiFranco’s gradual development 

as a DIY “punk folksinger,” guitarist, 

songwriter, and thinker. 

The book’s slow beginning 

serves a purpose: seminal childhood 

episodes seeded her art and 

politics and contrast revealingly 

with her career’s relentless 

momentum later in the book. 

DiFranco’s poetry and lyrics mirror 

her maturation. 

“Poetry found an instant and 

resounding yes in my body,” she 

writes of artists who visited her 

elementary magnet school. “I was 

immediately captivated by the 

idea of making language communicate 

beyond its borders.” 

Adults took notice as she began 

writing poetry herself, and her 

infatuation with dance gave 

way to words and music, which 

connected her more deeply to 

the world: “Music was an entry 

point, like a passport or a key 

that allows you through an 

invisible portal into the beating 

heart of the world.” 

At 9, DiFranco met thirtysomething 

Buffalo musician Michael 

Meldrum, who schooled her 

in “folksinger history in the selfadapted, 

half-madeup way that all 

history is taught,” and with whom 

she was soon performing folk 

and Beatles covers at bars and 

busking in New York. By 14, she 

was writing her own songs. At 

15, she had a control freak “First 

Boyfriend” in his 30s, and was 

living as an emancipated minor 

even before legal papers were 

filed. She spent her 16th birthday 

sleeping in a bus station. At 18, 

DiFranco strode past anti-choice 

protestors to get an abortion; 

she also shaved her head (“an 

instinctual move on my part to 

exit the world of male come-ons 

and exact credibility and respect 

as a card carrying member of the 

American Radical Left”). The 

next year, 1990, she released her 

self-titled debut album and created 

her record label, Righteous 

Babe Records, with longtime 

boyfriend/manager Scot Fisher. 

“I have always felt like a 

suspension bridge in the long 

road of American folk music. … 

The culture was moving from 

‘folksinger’ to ‘singersongwriter’ 

and abandoning ties to the radical 

politics of its forebears. But 

to me the radical politics were 

the coolest part, so I was swimming 

upstream. Elvis Costello’s 

recording of Nick Lowe’s ‘What’s 

So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love and 

Understanding?’ was like my 

anthem. I became determined 

to fly the flag of Woody Guthrie 

in an era when it couldn’t have 

been less cool.” 

It’s surprising to recall how 

revolutionary DiFranco seemed 

when early albums like 1995’s 

“Not a Pretty Girl” and 1998’s 

“Little Plastic Castle” began 

attracting national attention, 

at a time when “chick singers

DALE FIELDER QUARTET DAZZLES AT THE MIXX 

THE DALE FIELDER QUARTET TAKES THE STAGE AT THE MIXX IN PASADENA 

SATURDAY NIGHT. 

Fielder plays alto, tenor and baritone sax and is well known on the jazz scene for 

his original compositions, along with a repertoire of rare, obscure jazz classics. 

The Pennsylvania native has released 13 CDs on various labels since his first one, 

“Free Flow” in 1993. 

Fielder learned to play in public schools and studied arranging and composition 

with noted Pittsburgh saxophonist Phillip Celli. He later studied jazz at the University 

of Pittsburgh. 

Fielder eventually settled in LA and studied with sax legend Charles McPherson, 

after which he became a bandleader, establishing the Dale Fielder Quartet in 1988.

•NITELIFE• 

were one thing, a 

feminist singing 

was a whole other 

matter.” DiFranco 

wasn’t the only 

musician blazing 

a DIY path, but 

she was the rare 

success who 

demonstrated the 

viability — and 

constraints — of a 

music career conducted 

independent 

of corporate 

label support. It 

was simple survival: 

She didn’t 

make money from 

club gigs unless 

she had albums to 

sell; she couldn’t 

sustain a fan base 

without a mailing 

list (“my preinternet, 

direct 

outreach to each 

and every person 

in the world who 

gave a shit about 

my art”); and she couldn’t continue to record and perform music without 

those fans. Streaming and 360 deals had not yet become industry 

realities. 

More importantly, her independence as an artist and label owner 

reflected her political convictions — a vital distinction. Entrepreneurship 

was ironically opposite to her goal: “having a career in music 

without having to associate with businesspeople at all. I came to 

represent the future of the music industry, but I meant only to avoid it. 

… Demand before supply. That’s the reality of my supposed entrepreneurial 

genius.” 

Her frank but loving recollections of “teachers” like Prince, sometime 

collaborator Maceo Parker, and folk forebears Pete Seeger and 

especially Utah Phillips, with whom she produced and released two 

albums, make for some of the most compelling passages. Even more 

poignant are her recollections of how Feminism 101 and poet Sekou 

Sundiata awakened her mind and spirit at the New School in Manhattan, 

where she “really learned the art of political engagement.” 

The meatiest sections by far lay out DiFranco’s thoughts concerning 

her anti-corporate stance, voting, civil rights, human diversity, 

patriarchy, racism, reproductive freedom and women’s rights. She 

writes with candor of a supposed friend who gives her a place to 

crash in England then insists she “use [her] body to pay him rent”: 

“It is hard to know sometimes what constitutes ‘rape.’ Rape is 

a black dot in the center of a dark smudge in the center of a very 

big grey cloud that dissipates and pales at the edges. I have found 

myself in various gradations of powerlessness around that dark 

center and never quite known what the name is for where I am. I 

imagine most women have looked down at some point in their life 

and not been able to see their own hands in the fog.” 

Her sociopolitical consciousness develops in tandem with an 

increasingly chaotic personal life as she explores polyamory and 

becomes a champion of the indie artist and LGBTQ communities. 

Her idealism and work ethic are admirable, but there are times when 

it would be valuable to hear from partners, friends and bandmates 

burned by her exploratory zeal. 

“The thing that you don’t realize (until you do) is that your 

self-respect is the foundation that allows you to weather all manner 

of adversity and struggle. When you lose your self-respect, everything 

else becomes impassible. My duplicities made me hate myself 

which made me crumbly and desperate at my core. There was just 

no one to blame but myself.” 

That DiFranco’s stubbornness and reflexive independence seem 

to have been encoded in her DNA from birth fits her persona. That she 

also comes off at key points as heedless, blinkered by her own drive, 

and dangerously, selfishly reckless might surprise some fans; but to her 

credit she mostly owns the pain she caused others. It is a mark of moral 

courage, and of someone who remains an artist and student of life. n

Heartfelt History 

ALAN BRENNERT DISCUSSES AND SIGNS HIS HIT BOOK ‘MOLOKA’I’ AS PART OF 

ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER DAY SATURDAY AT PASADENA CENTRAL LIBRARY 

Alan Brennert, an Emmy-winning 

TV writer who crafted episodes of a 

diverse array of series including “L.A. 

Law,” the 1980s version of “The Twilight 

Zone” and “Star Trek: Enterprise,” 

fell in love with Hawaii while visiting 

with his wife in 1980. The island paradise 

became a yearly vacation favorite 

for the couple ever since, and wound up 

providing the inspiration for his novel 

“Moloka’i,” which has sold a massive 

600,000 copies since its release in 

2003. 

Now Brennert has released a 

sequel, called “Daughter of Moloka’i,” 

and he’ll be bringing it to the Pasadena 

Central Library’s Donald R. Wright Auditorium 

for a discussion and signing at 

3 p.m. Saturday . 

The author’s appearance is part of 

a slate of events from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

marking Asian Pacific Islander Day, 

including an 11 a.m. discussion called 

“Moving Histories: Japanese Americans 

After the Wartime Incarceration” 

with author Naomi Hirahara and 

documentarian Sharon Yamato, and a 

1:30 p.m. performance by a troupe of 

Hawaiian dancers. 

“I never had a bestseller before, but 

had written a few fantasy novels in addition 

to my TV work,” recalls Brennert. 

18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.09.19 


“My wife and I took a trip to Moloka’i 

and found it a unique island with much 

natural beauty, not much development. 

Not one stoplight on the whole island 

and that’s how the locals prefer it. I 

decided to write about the bonds of 

community because Moloka’i seemed 

like the kind of place someone could 

come to lose themselves. 

“The more I researched Moloka’I, 

the more I read about Kalaupapa, a leprosy 

settlement that was on the island 

in 1856 and still exists,” he continues. 

“I learned that every time one of the 

diseased patients would have a baby, 

it would be taken away from them for 

fear it would be hit with leprosy. That’s 

the novel’s idea: being sent to a remote 

place far from your family, defy the 

odds, grow up, get married have a child 

and have it taken away from you.” 

“Molokai” is a historical novel 

that follows the story of a young 

woman named Ruth who arrives at the 

Kapi’olani Home for Girls in Honolulu, 

to her adoption by a Japanese couple 

who raise her on a strawberry and 

grape farm in California, her marriage 

and unjust internment at Manzanar 

Relocation Camp during World War 

II ― and then, after the war, to the lifealtering 

day when she receives a letter 

from a woman who says she is Ruth’s 

birth mother, Rachel. 

“Daughter of Moloka’I” expands 

upon Ruth and Rachel’s 22-year relationship, 

only hinted at in “Moloka’i.” 

It’s a richly emotional tale of two women 

— different in some ways, similar in 

others — who never expected to meet, 

much less come to love, one another, 

and provides a look at the beauty and 

history of both Hawaiian and Japanese 

cultures. 

“A book club member at an event 

I did for the first book asked if I ever 

thought of telling Ruth’s story,” says 

Brennert. “I said no, and that I had just 

written ‘Moloka’I’ and was anxious to 

move other ways. A year ago, I talked to 

my literary agent about another novel 

idea I had. Out of the blue, she said tell 

Ruth’s story and I said OK and there 

was a book there. It was written to be 

read as a standalone novel. You can 

read either one first. They’re complimentary 

and form one overarching 

story.” n 

Alan Brennert discusses and signs his novels 

from 3-4 p.m. Sat. at the Donald R. Wright Auditorium 

inside the Pasadena Central Library, 

285 E. Walnut St., Pasadena. Admission is

‘Long Shot’ is a Winner 

SETH ROGEN AND CHARLIZE THERON MAKE ROM-COM MAGIC 

IN A FILM WITH A SURPRISING AMOUNT TO SAY 

Finding true love is hard enough for regular 

folks like us. But imagine how difficult it would 

be to build a quality relationship if the whole 

world watched your every move? 

That’s the sad dilemma facing Charlotte Field 

(Charlize Theron). She’s the US Secretary of State. 

The president (Bob Odenkirk) assured her that she 

will receive his endorsement to succeed him in the 

highest office in the land, meaning the world’s cameras 

are fixed on her constantly. With constant travel 

to boot, Charlotte has been unable to find a lasting 

relationship and she’s likely to face the presidency’s 

stresses alone. 

But one night she runs into a familiar face at a 

major fundraising gala, that of Fred Flarsky (Seth 

Rogen). Fred had a crush on Charlotte back when 

she was his babysitter, and their friendship ended 

in a way that was highly embarrassing for him. 

But now, years later, he makes an impression on 

her when he has a dramatic confrontation at the 

party with a Rupert Murdoch-style media baron he 

believes is destroying journalism and, by extension, 

America. 

Charlotte hires Fred to be her new speechwriter 

when her team tells her that her one weak spot in 

polls is her sense of humor. As they travel the globe 

on a 20-country tour to line up support behind Charlotte’s 

ambitious environmental agenda, the unlikely 

pair get to know one another in a way that she hasn’t 

been able to in years, and she falls for him. 

But with the world judging her every move, what 

will they think of her taking up with a nerdy, neurotic 

Jewish guy with a propensity for profane rants 

in print and in real life? 

Can they find a way to make it all work out? 

It might seem that this would be a fairly classic 

dilemma in the guise of a fresh setting. If that 

was the case, it would already be a bonus in these 

ever-predictable movie times. But “Long Shot” has 

one surprise after another in its sharp script, which 

include a dangerous terrorist attack and a wild night 

where Fred introduces Charlotte to the drug Ecstasy 

only to find her high as a kite when a major crisis 

erupts. 

Better yet, “Long Shot” deals with real ethical 

dilemmas that are intriguing and relatable, as it asks 

of both Fred’s journalist and Charlotte’s world leader 

what they’re willing to compromise. Each character 

has to pick the red lines they won’t cross as both find 

themselves questioning the standards society offers. 

Both Rogen and Theron give fantastic performances 

in the film. Theron is funnier than she’s ever 

been before and shows a real feminine warmth and 

allure that she is often lacking in her frequent killer 

roles in movies like “Mad Max: Glory Road” and 

“Atomic Blonde.” Rogen, meanwhile, steps up to the 

challenge of being a romantic leading man while 

keeping his scruffy charm intact. 

One big scene-stealer is O’Shea Jackson, Jr. , the 

son of Ice Cube, who made his film acting debut 

playing his famous rapper father in “Straight Outta 

Compton.” He's also displayed an impressive comic 

grace in indie films like “Ingrid Goes West.” As 

Fred’s best friend, he’s a source of joyfully comic 

encouragement in his friend’s improbable romantic 

travails, but in a particularly impressive scene he 

makes a strong stand for being a Christian and black 

Republican even as Fred mocks him for it. 

The point made in that scene is that Americans 

need to stop making assumptions about each other 

and really dialogue with each other if we want to 

maintain a stable nation and strong relationships. As 

such, this seemingly simple film actually has a lot to 

say about life and the world we live in today, and is a 

sure bet for a great date night and to wind up on my 

10 favorites list at the end of the year. n

Notice of Public Hearing to Amend 

Single-Family Residential Standards 

(Mansionization) 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed 

project consists of Zoning Code amendments 

responding to community concerns 

related to single-family residential 

development perceived to be out of scale

existing development standards related to 

single-family dwellings within the RS-1, RS-

Limitations and Class 8 ß15308 - Actions 

by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of 

the Environment. Class 5 consists of minor 

alterations in land use limitations in areas 

with an average slope of less than 20%, 

which do not result in any changes in land 

use or density. Class 8 consists of action 

taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized 

by state and local ordinance, to assure the 

maintenance, restoration, enhancement, 

or protection of the environment where the 

regulatory process involves procedures for 

protection of the environment. 

APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning Commission 

will conduct a public hearing and 

consider the proposed CEQA exemption 

and code amendments on May 22, 2019. 

The Planning Commission will forward 

its recommendation to the City Council.

on the CEQA exemption and proposed 

amendments at a separately-noticed public 

hearing. 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning 

Commission will hold a public hearing 

to receive input from the public and provide 

comments on proposed revisions to Section

to the RS-1, RS-2, RS-4, and RS-6 

single-family residential zones.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER 

ESTATE OF JUNE MARGARET CROSS 

Case No. 19STPB00283 

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent 

creditors, and persons who may 

otherwise be interested in the will or estate, 

or both, of JUNE MARGARET CROSS 

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed 

by Steven Jon Cross and Frazer Andrew 

Cross in the Superior Court of California, 

County of LOS ANGELES. 

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests 

that Steven Jon Cross and Frazer Andrew 

Cross be appointed as personal representative 

to administer the estate of the 

decedent. 

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will 

and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. 

The will and any codicils are available for 

examination in the file kept by the court. 

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 

files 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 

June 6, 2019 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5 

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 file 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 file 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 first issuance of 

letters to a general personal representative, 

as defined 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 file kept by the 

court. If you are a person interested in the 

estate, you may file with the court a Request 

for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing 

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.

days of the date of first publication of this 

Notice of Sale. 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 office 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, beneficiary, 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 (877) 

440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site 

www.mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file 

number assigned to this case 181102323. 

Information about postponements that are 

very short in duration or that occur close 

in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately 

be reflected in the telephone 

information or on the Internet Web site. The 

best way to verify postponement information 

is to attend the scheduled sale. Date:
