PROTECT NET NEUTRALITY 

I am writing to you because I want 

to protect our open Internet. Two 

years ago, the FCC under Ajit Pai 

repealed the net neutrality protections 

that make the Internet an open 

and free platform to connect and 

exchange ideas. If we can’t restore 

these protections, the Internet as we 

know it could change forever. 

The House of Representatives 

has passed the Save the Internet Act, 

which will restore the open Internet 

protections that were repealed by the 

FCC in 2017. 

Now, Senate Republicans and 

Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema are 

blocking the bill in the Senate, despite the overwhelming and crosspartisan 

support that net neutrality has with the American public. 

I hope our senators vote in favor of this bill. Otherwise, we’ll be 

forced to hold them accountable at the ballot box in 2020.

PLEASE WRITE OR CALL 

After three years of nearly nonstop advocacy efforts, the hopes 

of California’s developmentally disabled and their families now rests 

with the governor and key leaders of the Legislature. I’m writing 

from AbilityFirst, based here in Pasadena servicing children and 

adults with disabilities in the region. 

Community advocates who have been fighting for an 8 percent 

increase in rates for disability services have reason for hope, but 

also for concern. Advocates were heartened when the state Senate 

voted to provide funding for an 8 percent increase in their version of 

the budget. But when the State Assembly voted, they paired back the 

funding to allow for increases of just 5.5 percent. The Assembly version 

of the budget also failed to 

address hardships organizations 

like AbilityFirst and in the Los 

Angeles area are facing due to 

higher minimum wage costs. 

Because of the differences 

in the two budgets, the funding 

for these services now moves 

to the Conference Committee. 

Gov. Newsom, President Pro 

Tem of the Senate Toni Atkins, 

Speaker of the Assembly 

Anthony Rendon and Budget 

Chairs Sen. Holly Mitchell and 

Assembly member Phil Ting will 

lead these negotiations to finalize 

California’s budget for the 

coming year. They will complete 

their work before June 15. 

People with developmental 

disabilities who depend upon 

support services and their advocates 

have been fighting for the 

8 percent included in the Senate 

budget to slow the loss of experienced 

direct care staff who 

are leaving for better paying 

positions in fast food and retail 

industries. There are roughly 

350,000 people who have been 

formally identified as eligible 

for services through California’s 

Lanterman Act. Each has 

an extended family of five or 

more who are directly involved 

with their loved ones. We estimate 

the California workforce 

to be close to 100,000 devoted 

to serving these individuals and 

their families. Roughly 30 percent 

of all of these people live 

within the greater Los Angeles- 

Orange County area. 

I’m writing to ask members 

of the Pasadena community 

to please contact the following 

legislators during the next 

couple weeks and demand the 

8 percent increase in rates for 

services provided to people with 

disabilities. The programs at the 

AbilityFirst Lawrence L. Frank 

Center in Pasadena depend on 

this crucial funding. AbilityFirst 

is a 93-year-old organization that 

sees the talents and possibilities 

in every individual and helps 

them to achieve their goals. But 

without the 8 percent increase, 

low pay for our staff will lead to 

unfulfilled positions that result 

in program closures.

•GUEST OPINION• 

BY CELINE ALVAREZ 

HOPE ON THE 

FRONTLINES 

THE GOAL OF THOSE FIGHTING 

HOMELESSNESS IS GETTING PEOPLE 

INTO PLACES OF THEIR OWN 

In the early 1990s, when I moved to Los Angeles from a small town in West 

Texas, the city was struggling to confront the magnitude of the AIDS epidemic. 

I took a job in a treatment clinic downtown because I longed to help the most 

vulnerable among us — and to do my part in providing them with the resources 

and care they needed. 

Today, Los Angeles is in the midst of a different crisis: homelessness. Each 

night, tens of thousands of people are sleeping on sidewalks; thousands more are 

living in cars or shelters. There’s nothing new about this crisis. Since the early 

years of Skid Row, LA’s streets have been the city’s de-facto shelters. 

The gravity of this crisis can feel overwhelming and dispiriting at times, 

because homelessness is not just experienced in one place, but everywhere. The 

truth is that we haven’t seen the magnitude of people experiencing homelessness 

as we are today. 

Nonetheless, I approach our homelessness crisis with a renewed sense of 

promise — and believe we have good reason to be hopeful about the future. 

With the passing of Measures H and HHH, we are beginning to move in the right 

direction, creating the systems and implementing the programs that reshape 

how we help people experiencing homelessness. For the first time, LA County 

has increased its investment in direct services, growing the number of outreach 

workers and case managers who are equipped with an effective, streamlined 

system to connect people with services and housing assistance. 

On top of this progress, public perception is changing. More and more 

Angelenos are recognizing the urgency. With the support of United Way of Greater 

Los Angeles’ Everyone In campaign, people across the county are learning how to 

advocate for supportive and affordable housing in their neighborhoods. 

“Homes end homelessness,” as the Everyone In campaign asserts, is not just a 

slogan. For folks on the frontlines, it’s a truth we hold closely and fight for every day. 

I have experienced this shift in public opinion firsthand. A few weeks ago, I 

spoke with a congregation in Woodland Hills. And like many I have interacted 

with in recent months, most were longing to find opportunities to do more than 

pack hygiene kits and donate clothes. While they hoped to hear about how we are 

helping people experiencing homelessness, they yearned to learn how long-term 

housing solutions actually work. 

I showed them a 30-minute clip from “The Advocates,” a documentary that 

reveals the stories of frontline outreach and caseworkers who are fighting 

on behalf of those experiencing homelessness, working tirelessly to get them 

supportive housing and critical services. 

As the clip concluded, the room fell silent. I was humbled, but I was not 

surprised. Indeed, every person I’ve shown this film to has had a similar reaction 

— a real aha moment. 

And that’s because “The Advocates” begins to answer one of the most pressing 

questions that has been weighing on our collective conscience for so long: What 

does it take to get a person experiencing homelessness back into the safety and 

stability of a home? 

The truth is that it takes a lot: an empathic relationship that often takes months to 

build, jumping through dozens of hoops (“hoops of fire,” we call them), and set-backs. 

But then, you have that moment of yes — when you find someone a place to 

call home, supportive housing. With that home comes an enriching community 

with wraparound services such as life skills and job skills training and health care 

services that can really change a life. 

With each yes I witness at Housing Works, I remember why I do this work. And I 

remember why everyone in Los Angeles must join us in this fight. ■

GROUPS FORM PASADENA TENANT JUSTICE COALITION 

TO GET RENT CONTROL ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

According to a recent poll, nearly 70 percent of local residents 

support rent control and more than 80 percent support a law 

that would block landlords from evicting residents without a 

valid reason. 

Meanwhile, separate groups that have advocated over the past 

few years for fair rents in Pasadena have joined forces to form 

the Pasadena Tenant Justice Coalition (PTJC). 

The group used its inaugural meeting to announce its 

formation and plans to put a rent control measure for Pasadena 

on the November ballot. 

The PTJC — comprised of the Pasadena Tenants Union,

Affordable Housing Advocates, the Democratic Socialists of 

America Los Angeles (DSA-LA) and the ACLU SoCal — plans to 

start collecting signatures in the fall. 

“The Pasadena Tenant Justice Coalition (PTJC) is forming 

to address the lack of tenant protections in Pasadena resulting 

in escalating and unconscionable rents, as well as the city’s 

allowance of the practice of evicting tenants who are in full 

observance of their lease obligations without cause, resulting 

in extreme housing instability for many tenants,” said Nicole 

Hodgson, PTJC member. “Low-and-moderate income tenants of 

color have been especially hard hit by the city’s failure to control

BERNIE SANDERS SET TO HOLD 

RALLY FRIDAY AT PASADENA 

CONVENTION CENTER 

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders 

will hold a campaign rally at noon Friday, May 

31, at the Pasadena Convention Center., 300 E. 

Green St. 

The event is part of a West Coast swing that 

includes stops in Nevada, San Jose and San 

Francisco. 

After the event at the Convention Center, 

Sanders will speak at a forum on immigration 

along with candidates Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee 

and Julian Castro that will be held by the Coalition 

for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles 

(CHIRLA) and FIRM Action at 3:30 p.m. at the 

Pasadena Hilton, 168 S. Los Robles Ave. That 

event is closed to the public. 

Sanders was the only presidential candidate 

to visit Pasadena during the 2016 presidential 

election. He trails former vice president and 

Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden by double 

digits, according to a number of polls. 

“I am really excited,” said Sanders state 

delegate Melissa Michelson. “This is Pasadena’s 

opportunity to hear from the man himself in a full 

speech. The media usually just gives snippets of 

his speeches.” 

Michelson also served as a national delegate 

for the 27th congressional district in 2016. 

The 77-year-old Sanders’ 2016 run transformed 

politics and gave progressives a stronger 

voice pushing for Medicare for all, a fair living 

wage and breaking up Wall Street banks. 

His policies captured the imagination of 

young people across the nation, but he was unable 

to defeat Hillary Clinton for the Democratic 

nomination, despite polls that claimed Sanders 

would defeat Donald Trump in the General Election. 

So far, 23 candidates have thrown their hats 

into the race for the Democratic nomination. 

Pasadena has become a hotbed for Democratic 

politics over the past 20 years, as Al Gore 

came to town during the 2000 election, Hillary 

Clinton held a rally across the street from the 

Pasadena Weekly during the 2008 elections, and 

then-candidate Barack Obama, who once lived 

in Pasadena, held a campaign event at Castle 

Green. 

“Bernie is serious about the grassroots,” 

Michelson said. “He has been to downtown Los 

Angeles and he is going to the communities. He 

can fill big stadiums and still rally local communities.” 

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. The event starts at 

noon Friday, May 31 at the Convention Center. 

The event is free and open to the public. Tickets 

are not required, but an RSVP is encouraged. 

Entrance will be provided on a first come, first 

served basis. Parking is limited.

BRIEFS 

JAYLENE MOSELEY: 

1949-2019 

CANCER CLAIMS THE LIFE OF 

BELOVED COMMUNITY ACTIVIST 

AND BUSINESSWOMAN 


Flintridge Center CEO, local commercial developer and 

longtime social activist Jaylene Moseley died Saturday, one day before her 70th 

birthday, following a battle with cancer. 

Winner of multiple awards for her work in the community, Moseley also 

founded the J. L. Moseley Co., which developed and managed commercial real 

estate in Northwest Pasadena and Altadena. 

“Jaylene ’s biggest legacy is the impact her work and her efforts had on 

community-driven change and policies,” said former Pasadena City Councilwoman 

Jacque Robinson-Baisley, a longtime friend. “She made it clear that it 

was never about her as an individual but us, as a community, especially those 

who needed that first, second or third chance to be successful.” 

Before moving to Pasadena, Mosely grew up in Big Timber, Montana, 

population 1,000, and attended Montana State University, where she majored in 

music from 1967 to 1970. “I didn’t leave Montana until I was 20, when I decided 

to see all 50 states,” Moseley is quoted as saying in the book “Hometown Pasadena: 

The Insider’s Guide.” 

“I worked when I needed money; I made it to 45 states in five years and then 

I ended up staying in California because I liked its diversity and progressive and 

creative people,” Moseley said. “I was just lucky in picking Pasadena.” 

News of Moseley’s diagnosis was revealed last week in an email to her supporters. 

“All of us have been touched in some way by Jaylene’s all-consuming dedication 

to making our community a place that is free from the cycles of violence 

and poverty, and it has been our honor and privilege to work beside her, and 

under her gentle leadership, in trying to make that dream a reality,” according to 

a statement issued by the center. 

Moseley was involved in Pasadena and Altadena community affairs for more 

than 25 years. As president of the nonprofit Flintridge Center, she helped the 

community as it struggled with gang violence and the reintegration of prison 

parolees into society. Moseley served as the managing director of the center 

from 1986 through 2007. 

In 2002, Moseley formed a coalition of students and residents to establish 

afterschool activities at John Muir High School. The effort let to the creation of 

Mustangs on the Move, consisting of 20 educational and enrichment programs. 

Moseley was also a key part of then-Councilwoman Robinson-Baisley’s 

Vision 20/20 initiative, which prepared more than 200 high-risk and gangaffiliated 

individuals for construction trades. 

Moseley’s numerous laurels for community leadership and sustainable 

development practices include a 2019 County of Los Angeles award for more 

than 30 years of dedicated service. In 2017, she was named the 41st Assembly 

District Woman of the Year, presented by Assemblyman Chris Holden, 29th 

Congressional District Woman of the Year Award from US Reo. Adam Schiff 

in 2008, and in 2003 the Ruby McKnight Williams Award, presented by the 

Pasadena NAACP. 

Moseley is survived by her husband Alex Moseley, a local artist and craftsman. 

Memorial services were pending at press time. 

“She was a friend and mentor to not just me but countless others. My heartfelt 

condolences go out to Alex, the Flintridge Center family and every youth, 

young adult and person who deserved and earned the gifts of her heart through 

her work in the community. She is surely missed by all of us who love her.” n 

HAMPTON TO RUN AGAIN 

DISTRICT 1 COUNCILMAN ANNOUNCES 

INTENTION TO RUN FOR SECOND TERM 


Pasadena District 1 City Councilman Tyron Hampton 

announced this week that he is running for re-election. 

Hampton has filed a candidate intention statement 

with City Clerk Mark Jomsky. 

Hampton was born and raised in Pasadena and 

graduated from John Muir High School where he met his wife Tara Gomez- 

Hampton. They have one daughter. 

During his time on the council, Hampton, a small business owner, focused 

on quality-of-life issues in his district. He opposed the NFL playing in the Rose 

Bowl, and continues to maintain contact with his constituents by holding 

frequent community meetings and walking his district. 

Hampton currently sits on the council’s Public Safety Committee and the 

Economic Development and Technology (EDTECH) Committee. 

He also sat on an ad hoc committee formed by Mayor Terry Tornek to shore 

up plans to implement sales tax funds earmarked for the Pasadena Unified 

School District (PUSD). n

rents and its allowance of arbitrary evictions.” 

The campaign, states a press release issued last 

Monday afternoon, “will focus on tenant power 

of making sure rents cannot increase more than 

inflation, and landlords can’t evict tenants without 

cause.” 

According to Pasadenans Organizing for 

Progress (POP), a poll conducted by David Binder 

Research revealed that 69 percent of local voters 

support rent control and 82 percent support a law 

that would block evictions without a valid reason. 

“The survey results are not surprising,” said Ed 

Washatka, chair of POP’s housing committee. “The 

voters are telling the mayor and City Council that they 

want them to pass laws that protect renters against 

skyrocketing rent increases and unjust evictions.” 

According to the poll, all racial groups support 

rent control locally, with the lowest support coming 

from white residents, who still overwhelmingly 

support both measures at 65 percent. Seventy-four 

percent of Asian Americans polled also supported 

rent control and a fair eviction law. In the poll, 76 

percent of African Americans supported the measures 

and 78 percent of Latinos also said they supported 

rent control and a law protecting tenants from unjust 

evictions. 

The poll also found widespread support for rent 

control in all seven council districts. 

Eighty-one percent of the respondents in 

Pasadena’s District 5 favored rent control, followed 

by 76 percent in Districts 1 and 3. Sixty-eight 

percent of the respondents in District 4 support rent 

control. In District 2, 66 percent of the respondents 

said they supported rent control. In District 7, 

61 percent of the respondents they support rent 

control, as well as 58 percent in District 6. 

According to POP, 700 local voters took part in 

the poll. 

“The political establishment is out of touch with 

the reality of ever rising costs and unjust evictions 

for immigrant and working class families and 

families of color,” said Pablo Alvarado, POP board 

member and executive director of the National 

Day Laborer Organizing Network. “I hope that 

our political leaders engage in a constructive and 

honest dialogue to bring justice to the housing 

market in our city.” 

While state and local officials point to a housing 

shortage as the cause of increased housing costs, 

they disagree on the solution. 

Suburbs across the state, including Pasadena, 

helped stall a bill that would have forced 

communities to allow mixed-use projects in single 

family home neighborhoods. 

Senate Bill 50, which would have prohibited 

cities across the state from banning mid-rise 

apartments within a half-mile of public transit 

stations and allowed for four or more homes on 

parcels of land in single family neighborhoods, 

failed to advance out of the state Senate’s 

Appropriations Committee on May 17.

As of Monday, 4107 days after the war in Afghanistan ended … 

2,245 

American military 

service members 

(0 more 

than last 

week) were 

reported killed 

in Afghanistan 

since the war 

began in 2001, 

according to The 

Associated Press. 

1,500 

troops will be sent to 

Iran, according to 

The Associated 

Press. According 

to President 

Trump, the troops 

will have a “mostly 

protective” role as 

part of a buildup that 

began in response to what the 

US has said was a threat from Iran. 

Critics claimed the bill would lead to a takeover 

of local land use ordinances and result in increased 

density. 

The bill could return in January. Supporters 

claimed it would have added much needed housing 

and decreased costs. 

According to a study out of UC Berkeley’s Urban 

Displacement Project, Old Pasadena and most of 

central Pasadena south of the 210 Freeway would 

not have been impacted by the bill due to the 

amount of existing apartment buildings in the area. 

However, heading east past Lake Avenue, 

many of the communities could have been vastly 

impacted by the bill, including Allen Avenue near 

Marshall Fundamental School, and neighborhoods 

along the South Fair Oaks Avenue corridor below 

Del Mar Boulevard all the way to the South 

Pasadena border. 

“We need to recognize there is a housing crisis 

in California,” said Pasadena City Manager Steve 

Mermell. “Without significant increase in residential 

units home affordability will continue to diminish 

and rents will continue to rise faster than incomes. 

SB 50 was likely well intended but it was too blunt 

of a solution. It would have crammed just too much 

density on Pasadena, which has been a good actor 

in terms of allowing growth and development. 

I’m hopeful the recent actions in Sacramento will 

allow time for the development of better legislation 

that will effectively address the problem while 

maintaining local land use control.” 

Pasadena has taken some steps to protect 

local tenants. In 2018, the Pasadena City Council 

enacted an ordinance called the Pasadena Tenants 

Protection Ordinance, which entitles some tenants 

to compensation if landlords sell the building 

resulting in tenant eviction. 

Two separate attempts have been made over 

the past two years by first the Glendale Tenants 

Union (GTU) and later the Pasadena Tenants Union 

(PTU) to initiate rent control in those cities, two 

of the most expensive communities in the country 

in which to rent. However, both efforts failed to 

qualify petitions for their respective elections. 

In May 2018, the PTU had only collected 8,679 

signatures. At least 12,300 valid signatures were 

required, according to City Clerk Mark Jomsky. 

A similar effort in Glendale failed in October 

2017 after Glendale City Clerk Ardy Kassakhian 

deemed the petition “deficient and invalid.” 

According to Kassakhian, the text of that 

measure did not contain the ballot title and 

summary by the city attorney. The text of the 

measure also was not included anywhere in the 

petition, a violation of the California Election Code, 

Kassakhian said. Further, the petition did not 

include a declaration by the author. 

A one-bedroom apartment in Pasadena costs 

about $2,100 a month and landlords in California 

can increase the rent as much as they want. Some 

local residents claim their rent has increased by

HOUSING FIRST 

HOMELESSNESS DECLINES IN PASADENA THANKS TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING SHORT- AND LONG-TERM HOUSING 

STORY BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN | PHOTOS BY MERCEDES BLACKEHART 

The number of homeless individuals in Pasadena decreased by 20 percent this 

year compared to 2018, according to the 2019 Homeless Count Report released 

on May 20 by the city of Pasadena’s Housing Department, the Pasadena 

Partnership to End Homelessness and Urban Initiatives. 

The annual count is a one-night snapshot of those living in unsheltered locations 

and temporary shelters. This year’s count was conducted on the evening of Jan. 22 

into the early morning of Jan. 23, 2019, and tallied 542 people experiencing homelessness 

in Pasadena, compared to 677 in 2018. That makes 2019 the second lowest 

year since the count began in 1992, after only 2016, when 530 people were counted. 

Homelessness in Pasadena has generally been on a decline since 2011, when 

1,216 people were counted (except for an uptick the last two years). In 2011, the city 

and homeless services providers implemented a new approach: housing first, as 

opposed to clearing up personal issues and then being placed into a home. And city 

officials and homeless advocates say that approach is highly successful. 

“Permanent supportive housing is the only thing that ends homelessness,” said 

William Huang, the city’s housing director, during a panel on homelessness at the 

West Pasadena Residents’ Association’s annual meeting on May 8. 

Officer Donovan Jones of the Pasadena Police Department’s Homeless Outreach 

Psychiatric Evaluation (HOPE) team and Shawn Morrissey, Union Station Homeless 

Service’s director of advocacy and community engagement, also served on the 

panel. 

The Solution 

“It took us over 40 years to figure out that the solution for homelessness is an 



HOUSING FIRST 


actual home, but we finally did and that’s where our effort is now: to get people into 

housing,” said Morrissey. “During the early periods of homeless services, all we had 

to offer people were shelters. We didn’t have housing solutions, just temporary solutions. 

We became dependent on the massive shelter system we built in LA.” 

Morrissey, originally from Montreal, had been homeless himself for a long time 

starting in his late 30s when he “washed up in Pasadena” in 2002, as he put it. He 

was an opiate addict from age 12 to 40, but after he received support and housing 

from Union Station, he was able to turn his life around. 

“I showed up with two black eyes, my head was split open, I had no underwear 

and I was wearing one contact and it wasn’t even mine,” said Morrissey. “You’d see 

me on the street, I’d be wild-eyed, wild-haired. My success is a result of these types 

of services and community that wrapped around me. As soon as people get into 

housing, they’re no longer homeless.” 

He said that it’s very challenging to provide services for people while they’re living 

on the street, but getting a roof over their head and four walls around them has 

a stabilizing effect and allows them to attend to many of the issues that led to their 

homelessness to begin with. 

“Not only is permanent supportive housing humane and the right thing to do, it 

has a huge cost savings and helps both the individual and the community,” Morrissey 

said. “It’s actually $15,000 to $20,000 cheaper 

to help someone get into permanent supportive 

housing than it is to walk by them on the street.” 

The city’s strategies to address homelessness 

include funding and working with partners that 

provide basic homeless services, rapid rehousing, 

permanent supportive housing and targeted homeless 

prevention. 

Rapid rehousing is short-term assistance for 

people who are not chronically homeless — those 

with a disabling condition who have been homeless 

for more than a year — but recently became 

homeless for economic reasons. 

“We’re seeing people becoming homeless for the 

first time in their lives,” said Huang. “A lot of them 

are being priced out of their homes through raised 

rents, or low-income retired people.” 

Permanent supportive housing is typically an 

apartment unit for those considered chronically 

homeless. Huang said there is a misperception among the public that the development 

of more permanent supportive housing in their neighborhood will cause crime 

rates to go up and property values to go down. 

“The safety level is actually enhanced because the person who is housed and 

is now stable is far less likely to commit crimes,” he said. “Barbara King, a local 

realtor, looked at property values around the three permanent supportive housing 

developments we have in Pasadena and found that nobody’s property values went 

down because the supportive housing developments were well designed and well 

maintained.” 

However, just because officials now know housing is the solution doesn’t mean 

they have enough housing available. 

“There’s a real bottleneck to building more housing,” said Huang. “There’s also a 

disincentive for landlords even with rental vouchers, because it’s simpler and they 

get more money when they rent units out at market rate. We need to get more units, 

either by building them or through willing landlords. It’s a big ask, we realize that, 

so we do have financial incentives for them if they’re willing to do it.” 

Huang said the good news is that the city will be receiving new homeless funding 

soon from the county and the state. They plan to use that money to get more rapid 

and supportive housing, hire more housing navigators and case managers, expand 

prevention efforts, enhance landlord incentives, distribute more motel vouchers and 

provide more job development. 

Pay It Forward 

In 2011, homeless advocates in Pasadena launched the inaugural “Housing First” 

initiative called Project House Pasadena, aimed at housing the 20 most vulnerable 

“I’m really a stronger person today 

because of all the encouragement I 

had. It’s important what I’m doing, 

my voice is important and I know in 

my heart that I’ve found my passion. 

Now I want to pay it forward and help 

those who are still on the street.” 

Dorothy Edwards 

and severely chronically homeless individuals — those at risk of dying within a year 

if they stayed on the streets. One of those 20 people was Dorothy Edwards. 

Edwards was born in Monrovia and grew up in Hacienda Heights. After moving 

from program to program trying to get off drugs, she became homeless in Pasadena, 

partly to escape a domestic violence situation. She lived with her dog Gunner on 

the embankment of the Foothill (210) Freeway behind Target in east Pasadena and 

on a sofa in the donations area of Goodwill on Altadena Drive and Foothill Boulevard, 

among other places. 

Morrissey and others made several attempts to contact Edwards to give her a 

housing voucher but she hid from them. Seven years ago, Morrissey caught up with 

her, made a connection, built trust and convinced her to give supportive housing a 

try. After using cocaine, meth and heroin intravenously for 24 years, she has now 

been sober for several years and helps others in the position she used to be in. She 

said housing and employment were the turning point for her. 

Edwards went through an advocacy training program at the Corporation 

for Supportive Housing (CSH), a community development financial institution 

that empowers those with lived experiences to speak about homelessness 

to policymakers. She now sits on CSH’s national board of directors and 

works at Housing Works as an enrichment services coordinator in a 54-unit 

supportive services and special needs building 

in Eagle Rock. 

“When you’re homeless for a long time you 

feel like you’re less than and not enough, but Bill 

Huang and Shawn Morrissey always made me feel 

welcome,” said Edwards. “I’m really a stronger 

person today because of all the encouragement 

I had. It’s important what I’m doing, my voice is 

important and I know in my heart that I’ve found 

my passion. Now I want to pay it forward and help 

those who are still on the street.” 

Morrissey said they’ve housed hundreds of 

people in the past few years with a 97 percent 

retention rate. 

Work to Do 

While the 2019 Homeless Count Report found 

that progress has been made among key subpopulations 

such as youth, veterans and families with 

children, it also found that more people are experiencing chronic homelessness, 

accounting for 50 percent of the total homeless population. 

Additionally, 58 percent of those counted were Pasadena residents before 

they became homeless and only 5 percent first became homeless outside of LA 

County or out of state, “largely refuting the misconception that people experiencing 

homelessness travel from other areas and across the nation,” reads the 

report. 

The homeless population is also aging. The data reveal that three in 10 people 

experiencing homelessness in Pasadena are aged 55 years or older. There were 23 

families with children experiencing homelessness in Pasadena, but there were no 

unsheltered families with children on the night of the count, compared to eight 

families in 2018. 

Huang identified several things anyone can do to help homeless individuals: 

refer them to services through websites like LA-HOP.org; get educated by reading 

the Homeless Count Report; donate to the nine orange parking meters around the 

city that are part of the Real Change Movement designed by ArtCenter College of 

Design; engage landlords to consider renting units to homeless individuals; and 

volunteer with organizations that serve the homeless such as Union Station, Friends 

in Deed, Foothill Unity Center and many others. 

“We’re never going to end this problem, but Pasadena is uniquely positioned to 

ostensibly end this problem as it exists today with the political will, the infrastructure, 

and the robust services that we have,” said Morrissey. “What’s really going to 

turn the tide is getting the appropriate information out to the community in order 

to tear down some of these myths and stigmas and help people see there really is a 

solution here: developing or making housing available for people.” n

AUTHENTIC CUISINE WITH A FEW TASTY TWISTS 

BY EVELYN GARCIA / PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

While I often bring along a friend or family member 

to my regular dining excursions for the Pasadena 

Weekly, there is something blissful, even luxurious 

about dining alone. Enjoying a meal without engaging in 

conversation, paying more attention than usual to all the 

behind-the-scenes action and how the staff interacts with one 

another and diners, and having some down time alone after 

a long work week is a joy for me. Just throw some pasta and 

gelato into that scenario and call it a spa day for one. 

Recently I visited the well-known and much-loved 

Domenico’s Italian Restaurant and had one of the best 

experiences I’ve had at the PW thus far, and that is not just 

because pasta is my favorite food, as I may have previously 

mentioned once or twice.

in Pasadena, and has been in the same location 

since 1960, which was evident on my solo night 

out. Although it was pretty full when I arrived, 

everything about Domenico’s felt homey and 

comfortable. There were no cheesy props or 

decor that screams “Italian,” like bright red 

checkered tablecloths or stereotypical Italian 

chef figurines, mainly because everything about 

Domenico’s screams authentic. I was seated at 

a small table in the corner and enjoyed having 

a view of everyone else. Families and couples 

dined together, and it was clear that the waiters 

were either familiar with their patrons, or they 

were just friendly and welcoming. My waiter 

joked with the large party in front of me for some 

time before taking their orders. 

To start, I had the fried ravioli ($8.95), which 

came out within 10 minutes of ordering and was 

nothing short of amazing. Fried ravioli stuffed with 

cheese and served with marinara to dip into — 

could it get any better? I knew immediately I would 

take home half of the generous portion. The servers 

were happy to answer my questions, so when it 

came down to deciding what sauce for my gnocchi 

a la carte ($10.49), it was suggested that I try the 

creamy marinara for $1 extra. Creamy marinara is 

simply regular marinara sauce mixed with alfredo 

to give a creamier consistency, and just so happens 

to work best with the gnocchi, as my waiter 

suggested. No surprise there. My initial choice 

of pesto would have been good, but not nearly as 

perfect. Even a la carte my meal was served with a 

side of garlic bread. 

I should preface my remarks by saying that 

gnocchi is on my short list of favorite pastas, so 

perhaps I’m biased to say that their gnocchi is 

one of the best I’ve ever had. While it tastes good 

because of the nature of the pasta, this gnocchi 

was special. Each bite was plump, pillowy, chewy, 

and made me want to take a nap on the heaping 

plate of it in front of me. As I was eating, a server 

came to the pair next to me and said, “We ready for 

boxes?” knowing full well that they, like me, would 

not be able to finish the entirety of their meal. 

Sometime later I wasn’t even halfway through and 

my server came to me and with a smile asked if I 

wanted a box. While I could have continued eating, 

I reluctantly agreed and he whisked away the plate. 

Many of their entrees are served with a choice of 

soup or salad and garlic bread, so it felt like staff 

had an acquired radar that could detect when 

diners were close to their limit, and they rushed to 

save the day — or in the case of some diners and 

me, helped us avoid that feeling of a food coma 

coming on. 

In my case, they couldn’t quell my desire to at 

least try their gelato. I went with the cookies and 

cream ($4.95), made with cookie bits and coated in 

hard shell chocolate, then served in a portion size 

for one person, or to share if you’ve already fallen 

into a semi-comatose state. Although it isn’t made 

in-house, the gelato is tasty. My waiter shared with 

me his favorite is the brownie cake, but that will 

have to wait for next time. 

Since I’d never been to Domenico’s, it dawned 

on me later that perhaps going in a group would 

have been ideal in order to try their pizza — for 

which they are best known. Their menu boasts 

both traditional pizza toppings and options to 

make it unique, like salami, chorizo, broccoli, and 

artichoke hearts, all dependent on the number of 

toppings preferred. Gluten-free crust is available, 

with the rest of the menu featuring cold and hot 

sandwiches, such as eggplant, sausage, even 

a pizza sandwich ($9.40-$10.40). Beyond the 

amazing and diverse Italian fare offered, the most 

appealing aspect of Domenico’s is its no-fuss 

experience and cozy feel. Despite the place being 

busy the night I was there, it feels like a restaurant 

you’d only know about as a local resident. While 

the restaurant has earned great reviews online, 

most of those people seem to agree with that 

sentiment. Whether with a group or alone, like me, 

Domenico’s is sure to win you over.

•ADVICE• 

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER 

THE NEW YOU 

SELF-CARE BY A ‘MAN OF A CERTAIN 

AGE’ CAN BE A HEALTHY EXPRESSION 

AND ATTRACTIVE TO WOMEN 

Dear Patti, 

My wife died 15 years ago and for the first time since I have a desire to settle 

down again. I recently turned 60, however, and lately I seem to have become 

invisible to women. In the past, I’ve had plenty of romantic success. Although 

I’ve never been what people call classically handsome, I’ve always been known 

for my conversation and personality. I am trying not to be superficial, but I am 

starting to worry that what looks I had are now fading and I am looking my 

age more than I used to. Also, while I have acquired some wealth, these days it 

does not seem to be enough. 

I recently tried online dating, but the few women that responded to my 

requests seemed uneducated or too elderly. I don’t mind women in my age 

bracket or even 10 years younger than me, but these women were not the 

potential companions I was looking for. I’m physically and emotionally 

healthy, a normal weight, intelligent and hopefully interesting, and I want 

those qualities in a partner. This new trend of being unnoticed by women 

makes me a little concerned. I find myself dieting, going to the gym daily, even 

buying a new wardrobe. I want to enhance my mating power without losing 

the real me or trying too hard. I don’t want to come across as shallow or fake 

just to catch the attention of a good woman. 

— Rob 

Dear Rob, 

It’s not shallow to want to be noticed by women and possibly find a life partner. 

Encouraging your self-esteem and seeking a positive self-outlook isn’t superficial 

at all. I agree that you should not lose the real you by reinventing yourself just to 

find a wife. But it’s fine to present yourself well and look put together. Self-care 

can be a healthy expression and, if done in moderation, can be very attractive to 

a woman. Do whatever makes you feel happy, gives you confidence and supports 

your efforts to be the man you want to be. Do this for yourself, though, not just to 

please someone else. 

It’s not uncommon in the arena of online dating for “women of a certain age” 

to ignore the profiles and photographs of “men of a certain age.” Make an effort to 

bring new faces into your life by participating in ongoing social gatherings, like 

classes or clubs, and welcome social introductions made by others. It’s also essential 

to keep an open mind. You don’t have to marry a woman to enjoy her company 

over coffee. She may be younger or older, less educated or have less money, and 

still end up being a meaningful friend. 

In my psychotherapy practice, I’ve had a number of women share what triggers 

them positively and negatively when dating men. The following characteristics 

have more to do with inner character and heart than appearance or chronological 

age. 

Women often talk about wanting a man who knows the difference between 

being loving and being needy. Loving someone is feeling secure and being aware 

of the other person’s needs and happiness as well as your own. Being insecurely 

attached or needy is obsessively thinking about how your own needs aren’t being 

fulfilled. When love feels good, worry and fear are minimized. Insecure attachments 

are constantly anxious and there’s a tendency to oblige the other person 

because of fears of abandonment. 

Women like men who can stand up for themselves and their beliefs but who 

don’t cause a lot of drama, put excessive pressure on them, complain too much, or 

have too many problems. Women appreciate men who have their own lives (and 

whose lives are in relative order); know how to enjoy life; have their own interests, 

activities, and circle of friends; and are independent and emotionally mature. 

Women want men who have their own purpose beyond being in a relationship. 

They also appreciate men who are responsive and able to really listen to them and 

respond to the moment between them, rather than being distracted or zoning out. 

There are a lot of great women out there looking for a stable relationship. But 

with or without a woman, you need to keep your sense of purpose, maintain 

close-knit bonds with others, live fully and vitally, and find a source of inspiration 

that is bigger than you. n

14TH ANNUAL LUMMIS DAYS FESTIVAL SPOTLIGHTS 

THE AMAZING ARTISTS OF NORTHEAST LA 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

Northeast Los Angeles is home to one of the most vibrant and 

diverse arts scenes in the city, with a stunningly eclectic array 

of music, dance, poetry, film, theatre, art and puppeteers 

honing their crafts all year round. For the past 14 years, the threeday 

Lummis Days Festival has brought them all together for a free, 

fun-filled family-friendly celebration of artistic expression, with 

this year’s edition taking place Friday through Sunday at numerous 

locations. 

“We’re really pleased to have some genre-busting artists performing 

with psychedelic folk music, cumbia-billy and Africanjazz 

fusion,” says Eliot Sekuler, the founder of the festival. “It helps 

mix things up and redefines the boundaries. It’s a great weekend 

of community-centered art and entertainment.” 

Lummis Day takes its name from Charles Fletcher Lummis, 

who joined the LA Times as the newspaper’s first city editor in

1884. A prolific writer and photographer, Lummis was also one of 

the city’s first librarians, founded the Southwest Museum — the 

first museum in Los Angeles — and helped introduce the concept 

of multiculturalism to Southern California. 

To that end, he preserved the old Spanish missions of Southern 

California, published a literary magazine called Land Of Sunshine/ 

Out West, and was an adviser to President Theodore Roosevelt. 

He hand-built El Alisal, aka Lummis Home, one of Northeast LA’s 

most cherished cultural monuments, where he hosted a seminal 

art salon. Lummis was an ardent advocate for the rights of Native 

Americans, and was knighted by the King of Spain for his efforts 

to promote Spanish speaking peoples and cultures. 

The community-organized event will build on the festival’s 

multicultural tradition with a pointedly eclectic mix of musical 

performances. In addition to crowd-pleasing Afro-Cuban (Ricardo

Lemvo) and women’s mariachi (Mariachi Lindas 

Mexicanas), the festival will present some interesting 

hybrids: cumbia-billy (Moonlight Trio), folk-a-delic 

(The Evangenitals), Mexican-South American- 

African-Jazz fusion (El Haru Kuroi) and cowboy-pop 

(Anderson Town). Over 20 musical acts will perform 

on Lummis Days’ stages at Sycamore Grove Park 

(Sunday) and Avenue 50 at York Boulevard (Saturday). 

The 2019 festival will also feature an array of 

diverse dance performances, puppet shows, activities 

for kids, the Arroyo Arts Collective’s “Butterflies and 

Bees: Beyond Borders” puppet parade and, at Occidental 

College, a world festival premiere of the film 

“Con Safos: Reflections of Life in the Barrio.” The 

documentary chronicles the turbulent period from 

1968 to 1972, in which the Lincoln Heights-based, 

eponymous literary magazine provided a platform 

for writers, poets, artists, cartoonists and photographers 

who captured the experiences of the barrio 

and the rumblings of the nascent Chicano movement. 

The magazine resurfaced for four more issues in the 

1990s before an FBI raid shut them down for good. 

At Sycamore Grove Park, actors from the Independent 

Shakespeare Co. will perform scenes from 

best-loved plays in their signature audience-engaging 

style. The annual poetry reading at Lummis Home 

will feature acclaimed poet Sesshu Foster and will be 

followed by a free poetry workshop. 

The following are the Festival’s locations, dates 

and activities: 

From 7 to 9:30 p.m. Friday at Thorne Hall, Occidental 

College (1600 Campus Road): The world 

festival premiere screening of “Con Safos: Reflections 

of Life in the Barrio,” will be followed by a 

discussion with the filmmakers and founders of the 

El Haru Kuroi 

groundbreaking Chicano magazine referenced in the 

film’s title. 

From 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday on Avenue 50 at York 

Boulevard, Highland Park: Music on “The Boulevard 

Stage,” featuring four top Northeast LA indie bands 

and entertainment by cirque-style performers. 

From 10:30 a.m. to noon Sunday at the Lummis 

Home in Montecito Heights: Poetry curated by Suzanne 

Lummis and featuring poets Sesshu Foster and 

Judith Terzi. From 12:30 to 2 p.m. a poetry workshop 

led by William Archila will follow the reading. 

From noon to 7 p.m. Sunday at Sycamore Grove 

Park, 4702 N. Figueroa St.: Music, dance, theater, 

puppets, many family activities, community tables 

and food trucks. 

In addition to the events organized by Lummis 

Days, the Autry Museum of the American West is 

presenting the California Art Club Paint/Sculpt-Out 

at the nearby Southwest Museum. California Art Club 

artists carry on the Arroyo Seco’s Plein Air tradition 

with an outdoor paint/sculpt-out to create works 

inspired by the Southwest Museum site’s views, 

history, and architecture. The event takes place 

Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 

p.m. Two other exhibits — “Four Centuries of Pueblo 

Pottery” and “Making a Big Noise: The Explorations 

of Charles Lummis” - will also be on view. Admission 

is free. The Southwest Museum is open both 

days until 4 p.m. A shuttle bus provided by the office 

Los Angeles City Councilman Gill Cedillo will ferry 

guests between festival locations and parking sites 

on Sunday, June 2. n

in the Canyon,” the 

big-hearted documentary 

“Echo 

from ex-Capitol Records 

CEO Andrew Slater and Jakob 

Dylan covering Laurel Canyon’s 

legendary music community circa 

1964-1967, opens with musicians 

bantering about Rickenbacker 

guitars, whose jangly sound revolutionized 

1960s pop. The artists in 

question are Jakob Dylan and Tom 

Petty (in his last film interview), 

and their camaraderie sets the tone 

for Dylan’s subsequent interviews 

with Jackson Browne, Eric Clapton, 

David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, 

Graham Nash, Michelle Phillips, 

John Sebastian, Ringo Starr, Stephen 

Stills, and Brian Wilson, who 

are visibly more relaxed conversing 

with a fellow artist than fielding 

questions from some DocumentaryLand 

talking head. 

Dylan and Petty’s exchange 

also underscores Slater’s essential 

point that the film is “more about 

the echo than the canyon” — an 

echo still reverberating throughout 

musician and songwriter communities 

of Laurel, Beachwood and 

Topanga Canyons, Eagle Rock and 

Highland Park. 

“The film celebrates Laurel 

Canyon in the beginning, before 

the onset of psychedelia and the 

singer-songwriter era that’s most 

18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 05.30.19 

associated with it, Joni Mitchell 

and the search for the individual,” 

says Slater, who considers that 

early period the “the age of innocence” 

of California rock. “But it’s 

really about the echo of those ideas 

and that creativity that gave birth 

to the music.” 

During an interview he cites the 

culture-shifting circle of influence 

recounted in the film: Byrds frontman 

Roger McGuinn saw George 

Harrison playing a Rickenbacker 

12-string, then got one himself and 

electrified folk music. Harrison 

heard the Byrds’ recording of Pete 

Seeger’s “The Bells of Rhymney” 

and wrote “If I Needed Someone” 

for the Beatles’ “Rubber Soul” 

album; Brian Wilson heard “Rubber 

Soul” and composed the Beach 

Boys’ “Pet Sounds”; and the Beatles 

heard “Pet Sounds” and created 

“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club 

Band.” 

“That exchange of ideas, right 

there, sets in motion the foundation 

for pop music, rock music, 

for the next 50 years,” Slater says. 

“Then there’s the moment where 

Stephen Stills tells you he wrote 

this song ‘Questions’ because he 

heard a song of Judy Collins’ called 

‘Since You Asked,’ and then Eric 

Clapton tells you that he heard 

‘Questions’ and he wrote his first 

single from his first record called 

‘Let It Rain.’ While we all know 

that conversation that people have 

with themselves in their head when 

they’re trying to create something, 

the great thing about the film is 

that it lays it out, and the people 

who were actually creating this 

music are telling you that, and in a 

very personal way.” 

“We were putting good poetry 

on the radio, pop radio,” David 

Crosby observes onscreen. Crosby 

contributes several choice bon 

mots (including the recordstraightening 

admission that he 

was kicked out of the Byrds for 

“being an asshole,” not his notorious 

drug abuse). He, Nash and 

Stills figure in some of the most 

engaging scenes, recalling Laurel 

Canyon’s neighborly vibe. Mamas 

and the Papas siren Michelle 

Phillips, the lone representative of 

Laurel Canyon’s women, tells some 

of the zestiest stories. 

“What made Laurel Canyon 

cool is it wasn’t based around a 

club,” notes guitarist Fernando 

Perdomo, who as a kid was so “obsessed” 

with Buffalo Springfield 

and CSN&Y that he recorded himself 

playing a “mock concert” of 

Neil Young songs. He accompanies 

Dylan in the film and appreciates 

how the story is told from the musi-

cians’ perspective. “Laurel Canyon was a social network. All these people 

would just gather at each other’s houses and say, ‘Hey, what are you up to? 

Listen to this song I just wrote.’” 

“Echo in the Canyon” strives to show that music’s legacy in action, with 

concert performances by Dylan and guests Fiona Apple (a powerful “In 

My Room”), Beck, Cat Power, Regina Spektor, and a sunny Jade Castrinos. 

They aren’t all obvious Laurel Canyon offspring, but their affection for the 

material is evident, and the house band (Perdomo, harmony singer Justine 

Bennett, guitarists Erik Paparozzi and Geoff Pearlman, bassist Dan 

Rothchild, keyboardist Jordan Summers, and drummer Matt Tecu) fully 

commits to ’60s playing styles. 

Slater, a respected producer for Dylan’s band the Wallflowers and 

Apple, among others, initially planned to make a record. Then he saw 

Jacques Demy’s 1969 film “Model Shop,” set in LA, and was unexpectedly 

inspired to revisit places he loved and music that drew him here. 

“Inside those songs were stories about whatever was going on, so I 

wanted to find that, and find out what life was like,” he recalls. His project 

swiftly evolved into a film centered around the trade of creative ideas 

between Laurel Canyon’s artists. 

Their community has been as essential to Laurel Canyon’s myth 

as their widely beloved music. Songwriters jamming in each other’s 

kitchens, writing of their love triangles … it’s reminiscent of painters 

in 19th-century Paris. Do such productive enclaves demand geographic 

proximity? 

“Virtual community exists, because that’s how people are communicating 

and interacting,” Slater says. “But I still say that to play music, more 

often than not it’s about communicating through an instrument with other 

people in the room. And that exchange of notes, ideas, verse, is the thing 

that becomes the soundtrack to our lives. That’s happening everywhere 

[although] the bridge to that stuff becoming a national or a mainstream 

culture movement may be broken.” 

“Music happens at a particular moment in time, and changes everything 

going forward,” Jackson Browne says in the film. Producer Lou 

Adler entertainingly compares the Laurel Canyon scene to 1940s movie 

stars, who they tried to emulate. Petty, to whom the film is dedicated, 

opines that dreamers are allowed in LA “because people believe it might 

be possible to do something that’s not ordinary.” 

The most telling moment, one that crystallizes the film’s intent and the 

threads of community binding musicians across generations, occurs in a 

studio. As Phillips listens to playback of Dylan’s recording of a Mamas and 

the Papas song, he quietly watches her emotional response. It is a sweet 

scene, warm and sincere, and their mutual gratitude expresses all that 

needs to be said. n

FROM THE BEGINNING, THE BAND VENICE, PERFORMING SATURDAY AT THE ROSE IN PASADENA, HAS ROCKED 

HOUSES RANGING FROM INTIMATE THEATER SHOWS TO HUGE FESTIVALS ALL AROUND THE US AND EUROPE. 

The band’s sound, influenced by the culturally diverse communities of the beach town that gives it its name, is one that 

is at the same time familiar and fresh, with influences from classic rock and folk. 

Venice, according to Wikipedia, was started in Venice in 1977 by cousins Michael Lennon and Kipp Lennon. Michael’s 

brother Mark joined the band in 1978, followed by Kipp’s brother Pat in 1980. Kipp and Pat are two of 11 siblings, and are 

younger brothers of the Lennon Sisters. Michael and Mark are two of 13 siblings. 

Notable for tight harmonies, personal lyrics and infusing its live shows with a high-energy communal feel, Venice 

draws boisterous ovations and calls for encores wherever the band performs. 

Their latest album is “Jacaranda.Street.” 

Visit venicetheband.com. — John Sollenberger 

Doors open at 6 p.m. and Venice plays at 9 p.m. Saturday at The Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $24 to $44. Call

•FILM• 


Few rock stars have had as big an impact on the world stage as 

Elton John, who has had more than 50 Top 40 hits and sold 300 

million records since breaking out nearly 50 years ago. He’s also 

had a life story that few can match, with epic battles with sex, drugs and 

alcohol along the way to worldwide fame and fortune before finally finding 

true love and sobriety in the early 1990s. 

The new film “Rocketman” depicts a surprisingly unflinching 

portrayal of these struggles, with Taron Egerton of “The Kingsmen” spy 

comedies delivering a stunning performance as the musical legend. Following 

on the heels of the massive success of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and 

its depiction of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury’s similarly troubled 

life, it hopefully will help build a trend of more musical biopics. 

The movie opens with the stunning visual of a bloated, middle-aged 

Elton John (Taron Egerton) wearing an elaborate red devil costume 

with horns on his head and feathered wings. Writer Pete Bell and director 

Dexter Fletcher (who took over the troubled production of “Rhapsody”) 

aren’t setting up a celebration of devilish excess, however. 

Rather, Elton is entering an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, and 

his devil costume is a symbol of how corrupted he feels inside, openly 

admitting that he’s a sex addict, drug addict, alcoholic and bulimic. Moments 

later, he sees a vision of himself as a five-year-old boy (with his 

birth name of Reginald Dwight), and as he starts singing one of his 

classic pop songs, Elton busts out of the meeting with his fellow addicts 

and group leader running behind, dancing through the streets of his 

childhood. 

This dazzling opening has the silly charm and rock and roll energy 

of the classic musical “Grease,” and it establishes quickly that this will 

be no ordinary biopic. Hall and Fletcher have conceived a musical 

fantasy style for the movie, which bounces back and forth between the 

anguished confessions Elton makes in his group meeting and various 

periods of his childhood and adult rise to fame. 

The core emotional impact of the movie lies in Elton’s quest for 

love, as heartbreakingly shown as his 10-year-old self sings his lateperiod 

ballad “I Want Love” after his emotionally distant father tells him 

not to tap his fingers on the family dinner table. In a brilliant move, each 

family member including his father, his condescending and careless 

mother, and his saintly grandmother sings a verse, revealing the inner 

pain that made them turn out the way they are. 

Salvation comes in the form of music, as young Reginald is seen 

Shine a Light 

‘ROCKETMAN’ OFFERS AN EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL AND HUGELY 

ENTERTAINING LOOK AT THE LIFE OF ELTON JOHN 

playing classical masterpieces by ear from age 5, with his grandma 

encouraging his artistry all the way to receiving a scholarship from the 

Royal Academy of Music. As he learns to properly compose, he is told by 

a record executive that he should put lyrics to his beautiful tunes — but 

he can’t think of anything to say. 

The exec hands him an envelope full of songwriter Bernie Taupin’s 

lyrics and tells him try to write music for them. Thus, a 50-year magical 

partnership is born, with the heterosexual Bernie (Jamie Bell) providing 

the platonic love and acceptance that Reginald (who renames himself 

Elton John after a bandmate named Elton and John Lennon) never had 

before. 

That friendship gives him newfound confidence, and soon they are 

on a rapid rise to worldwide fame and fortune. But Elton finds that material 

wealth doesn’t bring happiness, as he can’t seem to find a strong 

relationship while his fellow homosexual manager (Richard Madden) 

lures him into an affair that’s manipulative and shallow. 

Continually rejected by his parents no matter how successful he 

becomes, Elton falls into a horrible cocaine and alcohol addiction. 

Through another of the movie’s innovative musical fantasies, Elton is 

seen symbolically engaged in a life of drug-fueled orgies that only end 

when he winds up overdosing and in need of rehab. From there, he has 

to find the way to true forgiveness, happiness and love. 

As Elton, Egerton (“Eggsy” in “The Kingsman” movies) does a 

phenomenal job, setting himself up for an Oscar to match the one given 

to actor Rami Malek for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Rhapsody.” 

His performance is an emotional rollercoaster of extreme highs and 

lows, but is always underpinned by a heartbreaking wish for true acceptance 

and love. 

Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin is also outstanding, and the movie’s 

depiction of their friendship is an excellent example of brotherly love 

that stands true through myriad crises. With 20 of Elton John’s greatest 

hits used in endlessly inventive musical numbers, the film is incredibly 

entertaining as well as a deeply emotional experience. 

While much hype has been made of the fact that “Rocketman” sought 

an R rating and depicts Elton in gay sex scenes, the movie is actually 

pretty discreet and brief with these portrayals. Like “Rhapsody,” this is a 

film that teens and adults can easily enjoy together. n 

“ROCKETMAN”: A 

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


MA 

Stars: Octavia Spencer, Diana Silvers, 

Juliette Lewis 

Length: 99 minutes 

Directed by: Tate Taylor 

Rating: R 

The latest comedic horror film from the usually 

reliable Blumhouse (“Get Out,” “Split”) stars Oscarwinner 

Octavia Spencer as a mysterious small-town 

woman who invites teens to party in her house on 

the edge of town, but turns out to have malevolent 

intentions. The first half is pretty fun, but the last 

half hour’s logic collapses and the film becomes an 

ugly mess. 

Grade: D 

JOHN WICK 3: 

PARABELLUM 

Stars: Keanu Reeves 


Directed by: Chad Stahelski 

Rating: R 

The third time’s the charm, as Reeves returns as the 

world’s greatest hitman, dashing across New York 

while fighting off seemingly hundreds of assassins 

eager to take him down for a $14 million bounty. You 

really don’t even have to know the prior two films in 

the series to understand this – the movie has nearly 

wall to wall, brutal but nonetheless funny action. 

Grade: A 

BOOKSMART 

Stars: Beanie Feldstein, Kaitlyn Dever 


Directed by: Olivia Wilde 

Rating: R 

This gender-flipped ripoff of 2007’s smash hit 

“Superbad” follows two brainiac girls trying to 

experience four years of partying in their final night 

before graduation. The actors are appealing talents 

mired in a cesspool of terrible behavior that is not 

only clichéd by now but tries to shred the envelope 

of good taste. Opening weekend bombed, so it’s 

clear that thankfully kids these days don’t relate to 

this. Grade: D 

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM 

Stars: John Chester, Molly Chester 


Directed by: John Chester 

Rating: PG 

This documentary focusing on a real-life couple who 

gave up cramped living in Santa Monica to restore 

seemingly dead land in Ventura County, and the 

eight-year process that resulted in a modern-day 

Garden of Eden, is absolutely riveting and stunning 

to behold. Highly recommended for the whole family. 

Grade: A 

LONGSHOT 

Stars: Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen, 

O’Shea Jackson 


Directed by: Jonathan Levine 

Rating: R 

This romantic comedy has a lot more on its mind 

than the usual genre film, as Theron plays the US 

Secretary of State who hires Rogen – a journalist 

who’s been in love with her since junior high – as 

her speechwriter. As they travel the world facing 

both funny and serious crises, a smart romance 

that also deals with issues of personal ethics and 

compromise in a profound way unfolds. This is my 

favorite movie of the year so far.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent 

creditors, and persons who may otherwise 

be interested in the will or estate, or both, 

of JOHN ARREDONDO 

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed 

by Cheryl S. Goglia in the Superior Court of 

California, County of LOS ANGELES. 

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that 

Cheryl S. Goglia 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. 4 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.

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 PROP- 

ERTY 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 916-939-

sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// 

www.qualityloan.com, using the file number 

assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: 

CA-18-841828-RY. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any 

liability for any incorrectness of the property 

address or other common designation, if 

any, shown herein. If no street address or 

other common designation is shown, directions 

to the location of the property may be 

obtained by sending a written request to the 

beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first 

publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale 

is set aside for any reason, including if the 

Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser 

at the sale shall be entitled only to a 

return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This 

shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive 

remedy. The purchaser shall have no further 

recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the 

Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the 

Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously 

been discharged through bankruptcy, 

you may have been released of personal 

liability for this loan in which case this letter

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 











or deed of trust on this 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
