A ‘RAW’ IDEA 

Re: “Cause for Concern: Council 

members and developer want testing 

for toxins possibly left by weapons 

research at proposed housing site,” 

May 9 

I was over at Kaiser Medical offices on 

Foothill last week and parked my car on 

the top deck of the garage. This would be 

a wonderful spot to have video cameras 

set up (along with air monitors) to view 

the Space Bank property and capture 

chemical movement in the air, as well as the flow of any dust generated 

by the project, and to observe that proper methods are being used 

as proclaimed in the RAW (removal action workplan) for the project. 

This location would test movement of dust flow for a portion of 

the property — north, east and south. At the same time, a camera and 

air monitors at the west end of the building could capture air flow to 

the west, south and north, getting a complete measure of the RAW 

process and making sure the process is safe for the public. 

I think another public meeting should be planned to hear answers 

to questions asked by the public and share any other information that 

might be of concern. Research has provided spotty records from the 

state Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) investigation.

OBVIOUS SOLUTION 

Co2 levels, worldwide, have reached a disastrous level everywhere. 

Without a fast solution, we may be going the way of Venus, no exaggeration 

intended. 

There is an obvious solution, folks: trees. Trees thrive on Co2. In 

return, they produce oxygen. So, the obvious solution is for everyone 

in the nation, who can do so, to get out and plant trees anywhere and 

everywhere. 

During World War II, millions 

of citizens around the nation, 

both children and adults, 

went out and collected scrap 

metal and old tires. Millions 

of tons of scrap metal were 

collected. Millions of old tires 

were collected. The government 

was fully behind this 

effort and had signs in every 

school and every meeting place 

encouraging people to collect 

and turn in scrap metal and old 

tires. 

What we need right now is 

the same type of effort used in 

World War II, with the government 

helping out in the following 

ways: 1) Provide bags of 

seeds (for trees that absorb the 

most Co2, while producing the 

most oxygen) to all citizens 

who can or will be able to plant 

same. 2) Provide clear instructions 

on what to do and how to 

do it. 3) Distribute free seeds 

in all schools and community 

centers nationwide. 

Can we do the foregoing? 

Only if everyone starts bringing 

it to the attention of the 

president, as well as their state 

and federal representatives. 

Write letters, make phone calls, 

send out e-mails. Don’t just sit 

there folks. For God’s sake, DO 

SOMETHING! 

Otherwise Earth really will 

begin to resemble Venus!

•GUEST OPINION• 

BY ROBERT M. NELSON AND MARGUERITE RENNER 

THE LEADERSHIP CRISIS 

NOW IS THE TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO CONSIDER A SANDERS-WARREN TICKET 

The Democratic presidential debates of 2019 are under way. The early debates span 

two nights because of the large number of candidates. By December there will have 

been six debates. We can expect that the field will narrow as voters becomes better 

acquainted with the candidates. 

The debates are sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) which 

is the legal authority for all Democratic Party organizations throughout the country. 

The DNC is officially neutral in these debates but, as in the past, the preferences of the 

party insiders are being “loudly whispered” by local elected officials, many of whom 

depend on the Democratic establishment for campaign support. 

Recently, many presidential candidates previewed their campaigns at the California 

Democratic Party state convention in San Francisco. Fourteen of the candidates spoke 

to 3,000 Democratic activist delegates from around the state. The candidates made 

earnest presentations to the delegates describing the problems facing society and 

proposing programmatic solutions to those problems. 

It’s About Wealth Polarization, Stupid! 

It’s hardly a secret that wealth has become concentrated in the hands of fewer 

people since the start of the Clinton administration 30 years ago. Clinton’s North 

American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) exported hundreds of thousands of middleclass 

jobs to overseas sweatshops. At home, displaced workers were reduced to 

working part-time jobs in the “gig economy” without health care or retirement benefits. 

Banks sold financial aid packages to students and lobbied for tuition increases at 

public colleges and universities. New college graduates found the loan repayments 

were scandalously high. This set the stage for the Democratic campaigns of 2016 and 

today. 

In response to the crisis, a precious few of the Democratic candidates offer 

dramatic solutions. 

In 2016 the sole critic of NAFTA, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, proposed a $15 an 

hour minimum wage, Medicare for all, and a return to a highly graduated progressive 

income tax. He also proposed enlightened social concepts such as abolition of 

the death penalty and criminal justice reform. Sanders did not get the Democratic 

nomination but he attracted a loyal following. 

Sanders is back again in the 2020 campaign but this time he has a competitive 

colleague in the presidential quest — Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. 

Warren’s core economic proposal is a wealth tax. This dramatic concept would 

support society with a tax on accumulated wealth — not just income. Accumulated 

wealth over generations creates the ruling class of a capitalist system. In the past, 

the estate tax served as a minor damper on this effect. However, it has been cut 

significantly starting in the 1990s and the cuts continue to today. 

We now live in a highly stratified society. 

The Circular Firing Squad 

Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, while Warren is a very progressive 

capitalist. Combined, they represent the left progressive end of the 2020 Democratic 

party debate. They are constantly pressured by the news media to distinguish 

themselves from each other. Both Warren and Sanders refuse to do this. 

The political left has a remarkable pattern of turning on itself rather than looking 

outward. This is often called the “circular firing squad with guns pointed inward.” 

Instead, Sanders and Warren concentrate their focus on the problems of capitalist 

society and offer programs to address them. 

The Old Establishment 

Late last year, many local elected Democrats began whispering loudly that they 

had a preferred Democratic ticket for 2020 — Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. However, 

this contrived marriage has experienced a rocky start. For example, Biden, was a 

longtime supporter of the Hyde amendment which prohibited the poor from access to 

women’s health care services. He changed his position a few days after the California 

Democratic Party convention in an apparent nod to his possible running mate. 

Harris did address the delegates but she was overshadowed by Warren, who spoke 

in the same session. In keeping with the Warren-Sanders non-aggression pact, Sanders 

chose not to speak the same day. 

Biden, the favorite of party insiders, ducked the California convention, missing the 

opportunity to expose himself to the 3,000 Democratic Party activists. Voters will have 

ample opportunity to schmooze with Biden later — at lavish fundraisers in homes 

located west of La Cienega Boulevard and north of the I-10 freeway. 

As we absorb the debate, perhaps we should think about a Sanders-Warren ticket 

and its program for America. They advocate ideas whose time has come. ■

CASUALTIES OF THE WAR ON DRUGS DEMAND A SHARE OF CITY’S CANNABIS BOUNTY 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

As more states legalize marijuana and private companies begin 

applying for licenses to sell their wares in upscale places like 

Pasadena, minority leaders are demanding that communities 

of color share in the wealth of the billion-dollar industry — a once 

illegal drug turned lucrative product that for years has led to the 

disproportionate incarceration of African Americans and Latinos. 

Earlier this month, Pasadena officials announced the selection 

of six businesses leading the city into the now legitimate world of 

selling weed. They are: Integral Associates Dena, Tony Fong, the 

Atrium Group, Harvest Pasadena, Sweetflower Pasadena and MME 

Pasadena Retail. The six were top scorers among the applicants in 

Pasadena and can now begin the process of obtaining permits to 

sell marijuana in Pasadena. 

WEEKLY WEATHER 

THU 

71° 

However, all six owners proposed Old Pasadena locations for 

their businesses, leading to calls for social equity by activists, 

who insist that minority communities unfairly impacted by the 

war on drugs should be able to share in the wealth now that 

marijuana is legal. 

“I appreciate that some members of our community would like 

to see social equity/community benefits play a larger role in the 

selection process or perhaps serve as the sole determinate and 

I have met with several people who hold this view, and I respect 

their opinions,” City Manager Steve Mermell told the Pasadena 

Weekly. “Nevertheless, I believe we have struck the right balance 

for our city through a fair and transparent process.” 

Based on public input, the city modified its requirements and

‘FEAR MONGERING 

AND WHITE 

SUPREMACY’ 

ALL SAINTS OFFERS 

SANCTUARY AS TRUMP 

THREATENS ICE RAIDS 

On the heels of an announcement by President 

Donald Trump that 2,000 undocumented immigrants 

would be rounded up in 10 cities, one of 

them Los Angeles, All Saints Church in Pasadena 

has promised sanctuary to those who fear 

deportation. 

“All Saints Church condemns these raids and 

the actions of President Trump which authorized 

them,” said Rector Mike Kinman. “Any individuals 

or families who are targeted by ICE [Immigration 

and Customs Enforcement] for deportation will be 

provided sanctuary in our sacred space.” 

Pre-dawn raids and arrests were scheduled 

to take place this week, according to CNN, but on 

Sunday Trump tweeted that he was putting them 

off for two weeks while he worked with Democrats 

on immigration issues. 

“At the request of Democrats, I have delayed 

the illegal immigration removal process (deportation) 

for two weeks to see if the Democrats and 

Republicans can get together and work out a 

solution to the asylum and loophole problems at 

the Southern Border. If not, deportations start,” 

the president said. 

While All Saints does perform as a sanctuary 

for undocumented immigrants, Pasadena is 

not a sanctuary city, a term which has no legal 

definition. 

In 2017, the City Council unanimously passed 

an official resolution declaring that “The city of 

Pasadena will not enforce federal immigration 

laws and the city manager will ensure that all city 

policies are consistent with this declaration.” 

According to CNN, ICE was also scheduled 

to make arrests in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, 

Denver, Houston, Miami, New Orleans, New York, 

and San Francisco. 

After the news broke, some cities immediately 

fired back, saying they wouldn’t cooperate with the 

raids and warned residents to make sure they had 

functional locks on their doors. Residents are not 

required to open their doors to officials from ICE 

unless they have a warrant signed by a judge. 

“This action by our government is the worst 

of fear-mongering and white supremacy,” Kinman 

wrote. “Beloved, productive and irreplaceable 

images of God, including many from our own 

Pasadena and All Saints community, once again 

have to fear that they will have their families torn 

apart, perhaps forever, which causes devastating 

harm to them and the communities of which 

they are a part. It is an unconscionable use of 

fear to continue to divide our nation for political 

purposes.”

JUDGE RULES AGAINST COUNTY 

IN ‘BIG DIG’ LAWSUIT 


A Los Angeles Superior Court judge postponed a trial over 

a lawsuit filed against the Los Angeles County Flood Control 

District’s so-called “Big Dig” project in the reservoir Tim Brick 

of Devil’s Gate Dam, located in Hahamongna Watershed 

Park, ruling the county did not provide enough time for people to comment on the 

project’s environmental impact report. 

The Flood Control District is currently in the early stages of removing 1.7 million 

cubic yards of sediment and debris that has accumulated in the dam’s reservoir — a 

project that could last four years and require daily hauling of up to 475 truckloads of 

dirt. 

Tim Brick, managing director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, which along with 

the Pasadena Audubon sued the district, said the foundation agreed to the postponement 

because it was not its intention to stop the sediment removal project. 

“Our goal has been to minimize the negative aspects of the project, such as 

noise, dust, traffic and air pollution, and to ensure that the resulting Hahamongna 

management program is ongoing and protects the unique environmental values of 

the area,” said Brick, who is also a member of the Metropolitan Water District board 

of directors. 

“We want the county to treat the Arroyo Seco like a river and to implement 

nature-based solutions that will serve our region well as we face climate change and 

the challenges of nature,” Brick said in a prepared statement. 

If the two sides cannot develop an agreement, Judge James Chalfant will hear 

oral arguments on July 30 regarding the tentative ruling. If he finalizes the tentative 

decision, he will order the Flood Control District to revise and recirculate the project’s 

EIR and set aside or vacate the project’s approvals. All project activity would 

then cease pending revision of the project’s environmental document. 

The Arroyo Seco Foundation and the Pasadena Audubon Society are expected 

to work with county flood control officials to develop a comprehensive settlement 

agreement. 

“The Pasadena Audubon Society is gratified that the court recognizes that the 

county has failed to work transparently with the public, despite their frequent claims 

to the contrary,” said Laura Solomon, president of the Pasadena Audubon Society. 

“We hope that the county will do its job to protect the land, the birds, and the 

people by shrinking the size of the permanent footprint of the project, using the 

cleanest trucks possible to move the sediment, and truly restoring the Hahamongna 

basin, especially the nesting habitat they have destroyed,” Solomon said. n

AMERICAFEST RETURNS TO 

THE ROSE BOWL JULY 4TH 


Pasadena will once again celebrate Independence Day 

at the Rose Bowl with AmericaFest, the West Coast’s 

largest fireworks show. 

The 93rd annual Americafest event, which will include 

live music, veterans’ tributes, motocross stunts and a 

Darryl Dunn 

massive fireworks display, starts at 7 p.m. in the stadium, 1001 Rose Bowl Drive. 

The show is among the oldest fireworks shows in LA County, and the Rose 

Bowl was recently recognized by Los Angeles Magazine as one of the best places in 

LA to watch fireworks. 

“It’s exciting because this year’s Rose Bowl AmericaFest celebration will feature 

the largest fireworks display in the western United States,” said Darryl Dunn, Rose 

Bowl general manager. “This year will be the Southland’s biggest and most exciting 

musical pyrotechnic show as we celebrate our nation’s birthday.” 

The event will honor the Disney remake of “The Lion King,” which hits 

theaters on July 19. Several Southland choirs will be on hand to sing songs 

from the film. 

The new film blends live-action, state-of-the-art virtual-reality techniques 

and computer generated imagery to bring the iconic characters to life in a whole 

different way. Walt Disney Records’ highly acclaimed a cappella group DCappella 

joins the celebration. The award-winning USC a capella group Socal VoCals will 

also perform. 

The show will also pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest 

moments in American history with a preview from “Apollo 11: The Immersive Live 

Show,” an experience that takes visitors from countdown to launch of the giant 

Saturn V rocket to the moon. 

In addition, TNT Freestyle Motocross returns to take to the air, performing 

gasp-inducing motorcycle stunts. 

The stadium parking lot opens at noon, and the Family Fun Zone in Area H 

opens at 2 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. 

Performances begin at 7 p.m. and the fireworks kick off at 9 p.m. Admission is 

$15 to $30, children under 5 are free. No charge for active military and three family 

members.

included categories on “social equity and community 

benefits in the application and asked specifically how 

cannabis owners would ensure that persons most 

harmed by cannabis criminalization and poverty 

through a share in the ownership, management, 

employment or other benefits resulting in high 

quality, well-paying jobs and/or other benefits,” 

Mermell said. 

According to the applications of the six 

businesses chosen, only the Atrium Group has a 

clear social equity plan. 

Atrium plans to hold seminars to teach local 

residents convicted of marijuana crimes how to 

expunge their records. Further, the group has also 

partnered with Ideal Youth, and will provide job 

training for local youth. 

“Cannabis criminalization and its enforcement 

has had a long-term impact on low-income and 

minority community members in the city of 

Pasadena and throughout our nation,” said Ismael 

Trone, head of the nonprofit organization that 

will work with the Atrium Group. “For the city 

of Pasadena to incorporate social equity into its 

application process is a giant step toward repairing 

the harm caused by the war on drugs and disparate 

enforcement of cannabis prohibition.” 

Integral Associates, the applicant that scored the 

highest in the city’s process, will form a group led 

by former City Councilman and current Chamber of 

Commerce CEO Paul Little. Little told the Pasadena 

Weekly social equity would be a major part of the 

group’s focus. 

“The idea is to help them negotiate the 

community and help them with social equity,” Little 

said. “We will be figuring out how they are going to 

support the community and how they are going to 

implement hiring and have as much of an impact on 

the local community as possible.” 

In its application, the company also said it would 

hire a law firm to ensure that communities hit 

hardest by the war on drugs would benefit from the 

company’s presence in Pasadena. 

According to a 2009 story by Jake Armstrong 

appearing in the Pasadena Weekly, between 2004 and 

2008 African Americans accounted for more than 

half of all marijuana arrests in Pasadena — three 

times the number of whites and almost twice the 

number of Latinos — though blacks made up only 14 

percent of the city’s population. 

Black residents were arrested on felony 

marijuana charges in Pasadena at far higher 

percentages than any other ethnic group, having 

been charged with more than half of all felony 

marijuana arrests since 2004, though nearly 90 

percent of the marijuana-related offenses during that 

period were misdemeanors. 

According to recent studies, California arrest 

rates for marijuana-related crimes have declined 

dramatically since legalization, but the stark racial 

disparity remains in place as black people were still

three times as likely as whites to be arrested in 2016. 

“As white people exploit the changing tide on 

marijuana, the racism that drove its prohibition 

is ignored,” Vincent M. Southerland, executive 

director of NYU Law’s Center on Race, Inequality 

and the Law, and Johanna B. Steinberg of the Bronx 

Defenders, recently wrote for The New York Times. 

“So are the consequences for black communities, 

where the war on drugs is most heavily waged.” 

In March, African-American lawmakers in New 

York announced they would block a push to legalize 

recreational marijuana in New York unless people of 

color were guaranteed a share of the industry. They 

want to be assured that some of that money will go 

toward job training programs, and that minority 

entrepreneurs will receive licenses to cultivate or 

sell marijuana. 

According to Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples- 

Stokes, the first African-American woman to serve 

as Assembly majority leader in New York, all 10 

states that have established laws legalizing cannabis, 

including California, made the same mistake. 

“I haven’t seen anyone do it correctly,” she told 

The New York Times. 

“They thought we were going to trust that at the 

end of the day, these communities would be invested 

in. But that’s not something I want to trust,” she 

continued. “If it’s not required in the statute [in New 

York], then it won’t happen.” 

Trone called on the city to do more. 

“Social equity goals should be to promote 

equitable ownership and employment opportunities 

in the cannabis industry to decrease disparities in 

life outcomes for marginalized communities. Ideal 

Youth research into the career opportunities in 

the cannabis industry has led the organization to 

embrace the cannabis industry as a legitimate career 

path and inform local parents and society as a whole 

to also embrace the cannabis industry as a career 

path,” Trone said. 

Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San 

Francisco and Long Beach have established social 

equity cannabis programs. 

Last year, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed 

legislation — the California Cannabis Equity Act 

of 2018 — intended to help municipalities increase 

participation in the programs. Lawmakers have 

allocated $10 million toward the effort. 

“There are so many opportunities in the 

cannabis industry for young, motivated, bright 

minds,” Trone said. “It’s a great opportunity 

for young adults to get into a growing dynamic 

field and learn so much about so many different 

industries. Cannabis is a stimulating learning 

environment because it touches on so many 

different industries such as legal, political, 

financial, retail, agricultural, marketing, science, 

etc. These opportunities provide young people a 

peek into how these disciplines interact and make 

cannabis ideal for career growth.” n

PASADENA MUSEUM OF HISTORY CELEBRATES CITY’S BIRTHDAY 

WITH AN AFTERNOON OF WILD WEST FUN 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

Pasadena is a colorful city that has unlimited opportunities to celebrate 

its unique qualities, and each June the Pasadena Museum of History 

(PMH) hosts a party that creates a year’s worth of memories for one and 

all. This Sunday, the museum will outdo itself with an afternoon filled with 

Western and cowboy-themed fun as it hosts the city’s official 133rd 

birthday party, tied to its current exhibit, “Giddyup! Children 

Take the Reins.” 

The jam-packed afternoon of entertainment and activities 

includes a colossal cake designed by Baja Ranch Supermarket 

Pasadena to feed the anticipated 1,500 guests, as well as performances 

by five-time international trick roping record holder 

Christy Lewis and the chance to rope a wooden steer. But the 

fun doesn’t stop there, as attendees can clap their hands and 

stomp their feet to classic Western and cowboy songs, or climb 

aboard and explore an authentic reproduction of a Wells 

Fargo Concord Stagecoach , one of America’s most legendary 

vehicles. 

The Crown City Chorus will entertain the crowds with barbershop 

renditions of favorite Western tunes, while Art 2 Go’s Miss Helen, “The 

Fastest Crafter in the West!” will help attendees create their own custom 

cowboy hats. Add in the chance to do gold panning, have water splashing 

fun with “Pump and Splash” and meet Mayor Terry Tornek and his trusty 

deputies, and your family will be galloping back home as happy campers. 

“This theme was picked in conjunction with our exhibit, which is called 

‘Giddyup! Children Take the Reins,’ an amazing collection of carousel, rock- 


ing and hobby horses all designed for children,” says Brad Macneil, 

the PHM director of education and public programming, 

who’s overseeing the day’s grand festivities. “A 

local collector named Lourinda Gray has 

them and loaned them to us for 

the exhibit. Since there are 

all these horses we went with 

a Western theme of ‘Yahoo! 

Happy Birthday Pasadena!’ 

“We’ll be turning the grounds 

into a Western world with world 

champion trick ropers, gold panning, 

line dance lessons, the Wells 

Fargo stagecoach, the Crown City 

Chorus singing cowboy and western 

songs,” adds Macneil. “There’s a lot 

going on.” 

Macneil notes that Gray, who lives 

in Pasadena, also helped another PMH 

exhibit years ago by supplying carousel 

animals. He notes that “carousels are 

disappearing because of insurance and 

various other issues,” yet Gray has spent decades 

collecting and restoring them herself. 

She maintains a warehouse in the Duarte area where she keeps them all and 

works on them. 

Running through Sept. 15, the “Giddyup!” exhibit contains more than 35 

smaller-scaled carousel horses and exotic creatures that visitors of all ages will 

be able to see and touch. An enchanting photo booth features a carousel polar 

bear designed by J.R. Anderson circa 1920 that children and adults can climb 

on for a keepsake photo, and plenty of other creatures that kids can climb on as 

they rock, bounce and roll. 

The goal is to bring back 

awareness of a time when 

carousels enabled children 

to imitate their favorite 

movie cowboys. Gray’s 

Running Horse studio 

in Irwindale houses 

memorabilia and carousel 

figures of all sizes 

from her collection, 

particularly from the 

Golden Age of carousels 

from 1861 to 1920, within 

its 7,000 square feet, and she carefully 

restores figures for other collectors and operational 

carousels as well. 

“This is the official birthday party for the city and we’ve been 

doing this many years,” notes Macneil. “The first big one we did was the 

125th anniversary of the city and this is the 133rd. It’s very family oriented and a 

way to celebrate the history of the city. 

“The city was incorporated in June 1886 and that’s why we always have it 

in June,” he continues. “We have a lot of community partners that come in and 

help us. We have a cake sponsored by Baja Ranch Supermarket. We expect 1,500 

to 2,000 people, so it’s a big cake. We’re fortunate to get the Wells Fargo stagecoach 

here too, and many community groups like the Jaycees having tables 

sharing information. Most will have interactive activities for people to visit, so 

no one will be left looking for ways to have fun.” ■ 

“Yahoo! Happy Birthday Pasadena” runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Pasadena Museum of History, 

470 W. Walnut St., Pasadena. Admission is free. Call (626) 577-1660 or visit pasadenahistory.org. 



( BEAUTY & BRAWN ) 

AS STRONG AS THEY ARE MAJESTIC, CLYDESDALES HAVE PLAYED A PROUD ROLE IN PASADENA HISTORY 

BY SHEILA MENDES COLEMAN 

It’s an awesome love-at-first-sight moment; that first glimpse of those powerful 

hooves, the beefy flanks that support them prancing in rhythm with each 

other. Their gallop is steady and sure, and every movement seems to exude 

purpose and regality. 

They are the mighty Clydesdale horses, and they have achieved rock star 

status in the equine world and beyond. That’s not simply because they are beautiful 

and magnificent to behold, or because they’ve appeared in more than 60 Rose 

Parades since 1954, but because their strength and history of service to man is 

legendary. 

Lampits Mare 

The Clydesdale horse began its storied history in Lanarkshire, Scotland in 

an area through which the Clyde River flows, known then as Clydesdale. Flemish 

stallions imported to the region were bred with local mares, resulting in a 

genetically superior horse. The farmers of Lanarkshire recognized at the time 

the horse’s might and versatility in helping them work the land and utilized the 

horses in agriculture, for hauling coal, and other heavy-hauling duties. In 1806, a 

filly later referred to as “Lampits Mare,” so named for the owner’s farm, was born 

and began a lineage of pedigreed Clydesdales that traced back to a group of black 

stallions originally imported from England. It is Lampits Mare that is listed in 

the ancestry of virtually every Clydesdale alive today. Once a successful breeding 

program was established in the late 19th century and early 20th century, the 

horses were soon exported to America, Northern England, New Zealand and 

Australia and became such a force in the latter country it was often referred to as 

“the breed that built Australia,” according to the Clydesdale Horse Society. 

Considered invaluable to pre-industrial farmers, Clydesdales were known for 

their sturdy build, patience, docile temperament and ability to perform arduous 

hauling tasks on the farm. These traits have continued in its lineage, making 

them as strong as they are beautiful. The hardy draft horses are even-tempered 

and easily trainable, often being called “gentle giants.” 

In addition to their easily recognizable gait and handsome profile, the Clydesdale 

is also well-known for the substantial “feather” it sports — the long hairs 

of the lower leg that cover the hooves and, according to the Anheuser Busch 

website, are “capable of pulling a 1-ton load at 5 MPH.” 

In 1905, in an effort to escape the chilly climes of their St. Louis and New 

York homes, Adolphus Busch purchased a stately home in Pasadena near Arroyo 

Seco Canyon. The home, known as “Ivy Wall,” was designed by architect Frederick 

Roehrig and located on South Orange Grove Avenue. The Busch family’s 

dream to develop the arroyo behind their property into scenic walking gardens 

and trails for the public soon came to fruition, and by 1909 it had become an 

immensely popular tourist attraction to the area and included “Triangle Trolley 

Trips” from the gardens to Santa Monica and oil fields in Los Angeles. After 

Adolphus’ death in 1913, his widow Lilly, daughter of partner Eberhard Anheuser, 

continued the tradition of public access to the gardens until her death in 1928, 

when they were closed for some time. 

In August 1933, August A. Busch Jr. and Adolphus Busch III gifted their father, 

German immigrant August Anheuser Busch Sr. with a six-horse Clydesdale hitch 

carrying the first case of post-Prohibition beer to celebrate the end of America’s 

dry period. Legend has it the elder Busch was so moved by the gesture he was 

brought to tears, hence the term “crying in your beer.” 

Busch Sr. recognized the enormous marketing and public relations potential 

of these gorgeous beasts of burden, and it was then that he devised a plan to send 

them across the country as goodwill ambassadors for the Budweiser brand, and 

to mark the end of the country’s ban on alcohol from 1920 to 1933. 

In the 1950s the spotted Dalmatian became the official mascot for the Clydesdale. 

Over a half-century later, these charming canine companions continue their 

partnership with the Clydesdales and you can find a Dalmatian seated next to 

the driver on each hitch. Currently, three teams of Clydesdales travel the United 

States. These teams, also known as “hitches” are the Western Hitch, based in 

Colorado, the Eastern Hitch, located in New Hampshire, with the remaining 

hitch stationed at the brand’s birthplace in St. Louis, Missouri. Ten horses travel 

on each team, with eight harnessed for performances and two used as alternates. 

Transporting each hitch requires three 50-foot semi-trucks, two for the horses, 

and the last one for the emblematic red, white and gold beer wagon, a modified 

Studebaker originally manufactured in the 1900s. 

The Budweiser Clydesdales participated in the Rose Parade, pulling the City 

of St. Louis float, from 1954 until 2011, and reappeared again in 2014, this time 

pulling the emblematic Budweiser beer wagon. They now pull the Wells Fargo 

Stagecoach. Today, the mighty Clydesdale continues to delight, and much of 

Pasadena’s history along Orange Grove is owed to the Busch family and their 

legacy of public works. Indeed, a significant portion of what we now consider Old 

Pasadena is built on the remnants of the horse farms and acreage that surrounded 

their beloved “Ivy Wall.” 

Jeannette Collier, committee services manager for the Tournament of Roses, 

says of them succinctly, “They are a crowd favorite. Their presence is majestic.” ■ 


( BIRDS OF A 

DIFFERENT FEATHER ) 

THERE ONCE WAS A TIME WHEN TOURISTS COULD ACTUALLY RIDE OSTRICHES IN SOUTH PASADENA 

BY JANA J. MONJI 

Long before the ostentation of Arcadia’s noisy peacocks gained 

infamy and the pandemonium of parrots squawked their way 

through Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley, there was a bird 

of another feather that had tourists flocking to South Pasadena: 

ostriches. The ungainly, flightless birds were once like the goose 

that laid golden eggs, but it was feathers that made them valuable. 

The enterprising Edwin Cawston opened the farm in 1886 near 

Norwalk, by importing 50 ostriches from South Africa. The birds 

made their way by boat to Texas and then came to the Los Angeles 

area by train. Only 18 survived. Yet, eventually the farm’s feathered 

friends numbered over 100 and the farm moved to South Pasadena 

in 1895. The whole enterprise might seem like madness today, but 

during the late 19th century wings, breasts and whole birds (small 

ones) were popular flourishes to hats. Ostrich feather plumes were 

in such high demand that ostrich farms were lucrative businesses 

in South Africa. 

According to KCET, a single bird could produce $250 in feathers 

in one year. English naturalist Charles Sketchley opened Southern 

California’s first farm in 1883 in Los Angeles but closed in 1889. 

Cawston, on the other hand, was so successful that he used his 

South Pasadena location, which was conveniently located along the 

Pacific Electric interurban railway, for tourism. At the Pasadena 

farm, tourists could pay to ride in carriages drawn by an ostrich 

or the braver ones could actually ride one bareback. The gift shop 

sold feather boas and other ostrich feather souvenirs. Cawston had 

another location in Perris for breeding. 

The market for ostrich plumes plummeted in the 1910s, but 

the tourist trade kept Cawston’s going until 1934. This type of 

amusement farm was doomed anyway because in 1954 Disneyland 

opened in Anaheim. Orange County — once the ostrich capital of 

the nation during the ostrich feather heyday, according to the OC 

Weekly — was the site of an ostrich farm revival, according to a 

1994 LA Times article about an ostrich farmer who thought they 

were the protein of the future, but that farm has vanished. 

One used to be able to get an ostrich burger at Jake’s 

of Pasadena in Old Pas, but Jake’s closed in 2015. Fuddruckers 

also used to offer an ostrich burger, but the 

Pasadena location closed, too, although you might 

be able to get ostrich at some Fuddruckers (Fuddruckers 

Exotic Burgers) but that depends upon 

the location. If you gander a taste of the feathered 

flightless fowl that formerly made its home in 

South Pasadena, you can try Harmony Farms 

(harmonyfarmsca.com) in La Crescenta (2824 

Foothill Blvd., 818/248-3068). The closest farm 

with herds of these birds is OstrichlandUSA 

(ostrichlandusa.com), near Solvang. No ostrich 

rides (bareback or otherwise) are available, but 

you can get some ostrich jerky, emu 

eggs and feather dusters, 

You can still visit the 

location of the South 

Pasadena farm, but while 

the outside has mostly 

been preserved, the animals 

inside have changed 

to humans. The site of the 

historic Cawston Ostrich 

Farm (1010 Sycamore Ave.) 

was redeveloped in 2006 into 53 

live/work loft condos, fittingly 

named Ostrich Farm Lofts. The 

ostriches may be gone, but one 

can still celebrate Pasadena and 

its unique history by dressing up in 

one’s finery and flapping one’s wings 

while dancing like no one’s looking. 

Happy Birthday, Pasadena. ■

HORSES LEND A SENSE OF STYLE AND ADVENTURE TO THE ANNUAL ROSE PARADE 

BY KEVIN UHRICH 

On New Year’s Day 1994, instead of riding in a car or a 

carriage, William “Capt. Kirk” Shatner, an avid equestrian, 

boldly went where few Rose Parade grand marshals had 

ever gone before. 

Shatner rode one of his own horses down Colorado Boulevard, 

a chestnut-colored gelding once named “I Prefer Roses,” bred 

on a ranch the star owned in Kentucky. Along the way, the then 

62-year-old actor doffed his cowboy-style hat and waved to the 

throngs of spectators and fans lining both sides of the 5.5-milelong 

parade route. 

Shatner must have felt right at home on horseback leading the 

annual parade, which every year since its inception has featured 

either horses pulling floats or renowned equestrian riders. In the 

modern era, some of those teams have included, among other 

participants, the New Buffalo Soldiers, the US Marine Corps, and 

the Wells Fargo Stagecoach and Budweiser beer wagon, the latter 

two pulled by magnificent Clydesdales. 

In fact, a few days prior to each year’s parade, Wells Fargo 

Bank presents Equestfest at the LA Equestrian Center on Riverside 

Drive in Burbank, near Griffith Park, illustrating just how 

important horses remain to “America’s New Year’s Day Celebration,” 

as the Tournament of Roses has come to call the floral 

spectacular. 

Soon after 1890, the year the parade started, Tournament officials 

initiated the Never on Sunday rule, thinking not so much 

about observing some blue law, or ordinance that prohibits such 

things as the sale of alcohol and working, but the danger posed 

by horses being spooked as folks left services from the many 

churches that line protions of the boulevard. 

In 1901, motorized floats were introduced and would become 

an integral part of each parade since then. But in those days, the 

noisy, smoky contraptions were placed in the rear of the parade, 

again in order to keep them from scaring 

the horses. 

By 1920, horses were still a big part of 

the pageant, only by this time floats operating 

on gasoline- or electricity-powered motors 

had taken over the duties of propelling 

the flower-bedecked floats along the parade 

route, according to the Tournament. And over 

the years, the parade’s equestrian entries have 

become more professional and more stylized. 

Some of the units that have participated 

in Equestfest, according to the Tournament, 

include the Clydesdales of the First Cavalry Division 

from Fort Hood, Texas, USC mascot Traveler, 

the Sons and Daughters of the Reel West, and 

the California State Fire Fighters Association. 

Former Rose Parade announcer Bob Eubanks, a rodeo 

cowboy at one point in his long show business career, and 

Shawn Parr have served as announcers of Equestfest over 

the years. Montie Montana, a Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame 

member and a rodeo trick rider and trick roper, was a perennial 

entry in the annual parade. The actor and stuntman 

rode in 60 parades until his death in May 1998. 

The lineup for 2020 is not yet complete, but over 

the past decade riding teams have ranged in size 

from 23 in 2010 to as few as 16 in 2014, according 

to the Tournament. Equestrian teams marching in 

last year’s parade numbered 18 and, in alphabetical order, 

included: 

• 1st Cavalry Division, Horse Cavalry Detachment 

(Fort Hood, Texas) 



RIDING HIGH 


• Blue Shadows Mounted Drill Team (Castaic) 

• Budweiser Clydesdales (St. Louis, Missouri) 

• Calgary Stampede Showriders (Strathmore, Alberta, 

Canada) 

• California Highway Patrol (Sacramento) 

• Gold Rush Fire Brigade (Pilot Hill) 

• Hawaii Pa’u Riders (Waimanalo, Hawaii) 

• Los Hermanos Banuelos Charro Team (Altadena) 

• Mini Therapy Horses (Calabasas) 

• Parsons Mounted Cavalry (College Station, Texas) 

• Scripps Miramar Ranch (San Diego) 

• Spirit of the West Riders (Leona Valley) 

• The New Buffalo Soldiers (Shadow Hills) 

• The Norco Cowgirls Rodeo Drill Team & Little Miss Norco 

Cogirls Jr. Drill Team (Norco) 

• The Valley Hunt Club (Pasadena) 

• United States Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard (Barstow) 

• US Forest Service Pack Mules Celebrate Smokey Bear’s 75th 

(Vallejo) 

• Wells Fargo Stagecoaches (San Francisco) 

The theme of the 1994 parade, A Fantastic Adventure, seemed a fitting 

match for Shatner, and he made the most of it. 

“It will definitely be an adventure,” Shatner told United Press International 

(UPI). 

Prior to the 1994 parade, he had changed the original name of the horse 

he was riding on to “I Prefer Montana,” according to the Los Angeles 

Times. 

“I’m truly honored. My family and friends will share in the excitement. 

I’ll be seeing the (Rose Bowl football) game from the 50-yard line. It’s 

almost too good to be true,” said the actor. 

The truth was, this was not Shatner’s first rodeo, er, Rose Parade. In 

1969, he rode in the parade on a non-“Star Trek” float, according to the 

Times and YouTube, and in 2004 he appeared in a documentary about the 

parade with former parade announcer Stephanie Edwards. 

In the authoritative voice that he used as Capt. Kirk on TV in the 1960s, 

and in six “Star Trek” films from 1979 to 1991, Shatner told UPI in October 

1993, “The fantastic adventure will be shared by the 1 million people who 

come out to watch the parade as well as the half a billion who will see it 

on TV.” But, he said, “Most of all, the fantastic adventure will be mine.” ■ 


( RACING TOWARD 

TOMORROW ) 

IN SPITE OF ITS RECENT TROUBLES, HISTORY-DRENCHED SANTA ANITA PARK 

CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS A CULTURAL HUB 

BY CELENE VARGAS 

Perhaps no other cultural institution in Southern California better 

exemplifies our fascination with and love of horses than Santa Anita 

Park. Yes, it’s having many problems now, with 30 horses since 

December being injured while running on the track and later 

euthanized. But since opening in 1934, Santa Anita has 

been a national hub of competitive horse racing 

action. 

While the original racetrack was 

opened in 1907 by Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin 

in what is now known as Arcadia Park, the 

Santa Anita we know today dates back to late 

1934 when San Francisco dentist Charles H. 

Strub and movie mogul Hal Roach re-opened 

the track in its current location, just a few 

blocks away from the old one, after the legalization 

of pari-mutuel gambling the prior year. 

Santa Anita’s rich history was foretold when 

its 1930s inception found success despite the Great 

Depression. Just months after opening, the first 

Santa Anita Handicap had a purse of $100,000, a previously 

unheard of amount that equals about $1.8 million 

today. Referred to as the “Hundred-Grander,” the Santa 

Anita Handicap quickly became one of the top races in 

the nation. 

Santa Anita Park soon became a part of Hollywood 

movie history when the 1937 classic “A Day at the Races” 

featured the Marx Bros. wreaking havoc at the park. Santa 

Anita went on to be used in a variety of 

other films, such as “Public Enemies,” the 

movie starring Johnny Depp as Depression-era 

American gangster John 

Dillinger, and, of course the movie 

“Seabiscuit,” starring Tobey Maguire. 

By 1940, legendary racehorse 

Seabiscuit had made a name for itself 

and cemented itself as part of 

Santa Anita’s history. It won that 

year’s handicap after two previous 

attempts and a 1939 injury 

that many thought would be the end of the 

horse’s career. In 1941, a life-size statue of the horse 

was installed in the park and still stands there today. 

Of course, all history has a dark side and the racetrack is no exception. 

As also noted in a recent PW story about the park, in 1942 Santa Anita 

was used to process up to 22,000 Japanese-Americans and housed them in converted 

horse stalls and in barracks before sending them to internment camps. 

Fast-forwarding to 1969, the park saw another historical moment made even 

more pivotal considering the cultural climate when Tuesdee Testa became the 

first female jockey to win at a major American racetrack after winning at Santa 

Anita on March 1. 

The park continued to flex its prestige when it not only hosted the equestrian 

events for the 1984 Olympic Summer Games but also the Breeders’ Cup 

World Championships in 1986. The latter is an international event that features 



RACING TOWARD 

TOMORROW 


the world’s greatest horses, 

jockeys and trainers with a 

winning prize of $1 million. 

It wouldn’t be the last time 

the park would host this 

event. 

The introduction of 

the Tokyo City Cup at 

Santa Anita in 2005, 

a celebration of its 

sister track in Japan, 

expanded the park’s 

reach. In turn, 

every summer Ohi Racecourse 

holds “Santa Anita Week” 

and features the ”Santa Anita Trophy,” a 

one mile G3 race. 

Even though the park is still a major spot for horse-racing, 

times have changed and so have the avenues of entertainment. 

No longer do families pack a lunch to watch a race in droves. 

While Santa Anita Park struggles to resolve and overcome its horses’ injuries 

and fatalities, with both members of the public and political figures calling 

for the suspension of races, at the very least until a thorough investigation 

is done, the racetrack will remain as a major part of the community’s 

identity through its history alone. 

What remains to be seen, aside from how the park will implement or 

respond to potential new safety measures, is how the park will evolve 

to help shape the future of the community. Some recent events have included 

hosting pop-up food stalls, which garnered new community interest. Maybe 

this can be a new way people can continue to picnic at the races. ■

GREEN EARTH VEGAN CUISINE 

BOASTS A MENU ALL CAN ENJOY 

BY EVELYN GARCIA 

PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

In recent weeks I have been attempting to change my diet for health 

reasons, to eat more gluten-free, dairy-free food (cue the eye rolls), 

although I’m not very strict and this job allows me what I would consider 

“cheat days,” making it all the more enjoyable. Ironically, I wound up on 

another vegan adventure this week, which was not entirely intentional. 

After some time revisiting the website of Green Earth Vegan Cuisine in Old 

Pasadena, and again salivating over photos they’ve posted, I decided it was 

finally time to try it. 

When I walked in the first thing I noticed on the back wall in the center 

of the room were a couple of rows containing books on vegan dieting. 

Cookbooks, clinical studies and firsthand accounts of people who converted 

to a vegan diet, all on display. Although I wasn’t sure if diners were free to 

grab one, I began to understand Green Earth Vegan Cuisine is not like the 

hipster, “cool” overpriced vegan spots that strive for Instagram likes and 

popularity. In fact, Green Earth doesn’t seem to have a large presence on 

social media at all, but it is still one of the better-known restaurants in the 

area, and has a huge following of all kinds of dieters. 

There were only two other parties in the restaurant, so my friend and 

I were seated right away. Their menu is so extensive, with a large array 

of choices, that I genuinely had a hard time deciding on appetizers. My

It’s the cornmeal crust that makes this pizzeria stand 

out from the rest. This locally owned establishment’s 

signature dish is the fresh, corn, balsamic-marinated, 

oven-roasted red onion pie. Zelo Pizzeria has expanded 

the dining room to better serve you, so come 

in and give Zelo Pizzeria a try. 

friend, on the other hand, is one of the most 

carnivorous people I know, so he was just along 

for the experience and had me lead the way. We 

went with the quinoa sushi ($9.50), rolls made with 

quinoa, carrots, cucumber, avocado and portabella 

mushroom wrapped in sushi nori. Both are glutenfree 

and soy-free, and were delicious. I love sushi, 

and while it is obviously not like the real thing it’s an 

amazing alternative for anyone missing it or who just 

wants to try a delicious quinoa roll. 

Our favorite starters were the golden crispy 

rolls ($6), which were the equivalent to a veggie 

egg roll, minus the egg. They’re served with lettuce, 

cucumber, mint and Vietnamese vinaigrette. 

Throughout the entirety of the meal our waiter was 

extremely helpful in answering questions we had, 

and as a lifelong vegetarian then later vegan himself, 

was very knowledgeable. When he brought over the 

crispy rolls he asked if we knew how to eat them 

Vietnamese style, and then showed us the proper 

way: Take a roll and roll it in a piece of lettuce along 

with a slice of cucumber and mint leaf, then dip it all 

into the vinaigrette. If I was served this blindfolded, 

I would have never guessed it was egg-less or filled 

with vegetables only, thanks to the overabundance 

of flavor packed into such a small roll. 

To drink, I ordered lemonade made from freshly 

squeezed lemons ($4.50). Our waiter asked if it was 

too sour, but it was perfect, and my friend ordered 

a Thai iced tea with soy milk ($4). I had difficulty 

deciding on our main entree as well, because they 

have about every type of pastas (lasagna included), 

rice plates, noodles, ramen, pho, won tons, hot 

and cold salads, burgers and sandwiches, all 

with soy protein or tofu options. The possibilities 

were endless, yet somehow all I was craving were 

noodles. I asked about the pad Thai ($10) and he said 

that although it’s not listed on the menu, they are 

actually spicy, and I was sold. A few bites in I could 

definitely taste the kick, but a few more and I found 

myself alternating between water and my lemonade 

to find some relief for my tongue, which was on fire. 

Still, I loved it. It is made with stir fry rice noodles 

(which are gluten-free), tofu, mushrooms, carrots, 

bean sprouts and broccoli, garlic, all flavored with 

tamarind and topped with toasted peanuts. 

It was hard to imagine that my friend’s gourmet 

burrito ($11) would be as good as my plate of spicy 

goodness, but it was. The burrito was made with 

textured vegetable protein seasoned to taste like 

beef, brown rice, lettuce, guacamole and pico de 

gallo, wrapped beautifully in a whole wheat tortilla 

served with a choice of fries or side salad. I had a few 

bites and couldn’t believe it. Surprise is a common 

reaction each time I venture into the world of vegan 

eats, and he was right there with me. Put simply, it 

tasted like it could be served at Taco Bell as “real” 

beef, only with much, much higher quality and far 

better ingredients, of course. I could go back just 

for the crispy rolls and the burrito and be one happy 

camper. 

One thing is clear: Green Earth Vegan Cuisine 

does not skimp on the flavor. Every dish on their 

menu is made with a list of ingredients that 

harmoniously blend together in a way I know both 

tastes great and feels great. 

Green Earth has a hefty list of desserts they make 

in house, but we wanted a few minutes to walk off 

our dinner, so we made our way across the street 

to Paradis Ice Cream. It’s a small shop with several 

locations across Southern California, but another I 

had yet to enjoy prior to that day. Upon entering, a 

staircase leads to an open seating area upstairs and 

immediately to the left is the glass casing filled with 

unique flavors. After taste testing a few, including 

the Oreo, which is typically my favorite, I decided 

to keep with the theme and got the cookie crumble 

vegan flavor in the single scoop ($4), which was 

delicious, and my friend got two scoops ($5.50) of 

the banana sundae and peanut butter bar. 

Between an amazing dinner and tasty dessert 

that we enjoyed as we walked up and down Colorado 

Blvd., I was reminded yet again of how lucky we are 

to live in a city with some of the most well-known, 

sought after and hidden treasures in which to dine 

and share a special evening with loved ones. 




•ADVICE• 

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER 

TWIN 

OPPOSITES 

GENTLE PARENTAL CUES SHOULD 

HELP SLOW DOWN ONE TODDLER 

AND DISINHIBIT ANOTHER 

Dear Patti, 

My wife and I have adorable twin daughters, Poppy and Belle, who 

recently turned 2. They’re at an age where they’re now becoming more 

mobile, in control of their own bodies and able to make more choices for 

themselves. Poppy is a totally free and fearless spirit and toddles off as fast 

and as far as she can without even a backward glance at us; if not constantly 

watched, the situation can quickly become dangerous. Poppy loves to explore 

without regard for any boundaries. Accordingly, my wife and I have to chase 

her all the time or she’ll run clear across a large park or department store. 

Belle, on the other hand, hides behind my wife’s skirt and won’t leave her 

for a second. She’s comfortable walking around as long as one or the other of 

us is walking right next to her. She will only explore if she can be reassured 

that her mom or I will stay close by. 

So here we have one daughter who is extremely timid and another who is 

a complete risk-taker. We’re not sure if their respective behaviors are due to 

different innate personality traits, our own approaches to parenting, or if 

the girls are becoming polarized due to their relationship with each other. We 

see other children our daughters’ age and most of their behaviors appear to 

be somewhere in the middle between our two. We would like to teach Poppy 

boundaries and assist Belle in becoming more secure. My wife and I both 

value your opinion and want to know what you think. 

— Liam 

Dear Liam, 

At approximately 18 months old, toddlers begin to gain a heightened awareness 

that they’re separate individuals and want to start exploring their environment. 

This can be an exciting time for parents as they watch their children’s curiosity 

develop. If a parent repeatedly shows fear whenever an adventuresome streak 

emerges, however, the toddler might get the message that the world isn’t safe 

and can then become timid and afraid. Therefore, Poppy may need repeated and 

gentle boundary-setting that is without punishment or which induces no fear. It 

should be kept in mind that if a child turns for reassurance during these explorations 

and discovers the parent has left the room or isn’t paying attention, she or he 

may suddenly feel abandoned and start to exhibit “clingy” behaviors. Belle might 

have somehow learned insecurity about being on her own and, thus, needs gentle 

encouragement without giving her the message that her shyness is somehow bad 

or wrong. 

While you and your wife should continue to take the girls out for excursions together, 

it might also be a good idea to take them out separately in order to support 

their individual needs. 

You don’t want Belle to believe the world is a scary place, and although your 

concerns about her becoming more sociable and secure are valid, the problem 

may be nothing more than the fact that she’s still very young and experiencing 

different surroundings is something new to her. If you start pushing her too hard 

and insist that she go and play, it may escalate her tentativeness. Allow her to get 

comfortable and watch for Belle’s lead. Does she want to pet the kitty one foot 

away or go and play with another toddler nearby? Be quick to respond with encouragement. 

The words and body language you and your wife use should be free 

of tension or threat and convey to Belle that it’s her own choice to stay close or go 

play. If she’s still inhibited, arrange situations where there are toys or interesting 

situations available for her to explore a little farther away in a safe area. Always 

encourage very gently, never press, and give her all the time she needs. Let her 

take the lead and be quick to follow. 

As for Poppy, her adventuresome personality is wonderful but she may need 

your singular concentration to teach her to listen to your guidelines in order for 

her to be safe. She may be spunky, but nonetheless she’s still barely much more 

than a baby. Do your best to get her under control in a calm and kindly manner. n

‘DANGEROUS AND INSANE’ 

City to vigorously enforce fireworks ban during holiday 

City officials are reminding local residents that they 

plan to hold people responsible for possessing, selling 

and discharging fireworks, including land owners who 

allow fireworks to be set off on their property. 

The city maintains a zero-tolerance enforcement 

policy for fireworks, and Pasadena police officers 

and firefighters are teaming up for special fireworks 

enforcement patrols before, during and after the Fourth 

of July holiday. Violators are subject to arrest, having 

their vehicles impounded, a $50,000 fine and serving up to one year in jail. 

National Fire Protection Association statistics reveal that 90 percent of all 

fireworks-related injuries are caused by so-called “safe and sane” fireworks, which are 

also illegal in Pasadena. 

“Safe and sane fireworks is a marketing term,” said city Public Information Office 

Lisa Derderian. “They’re dangerous and insane and can cause injuries. Don’t risk jail 

time, expensive fines, having your car impounded or other serious penalties by taking 

risks. Leave the fireworks to the professionals.” 

Pasadena police and fire personnel will staff checkpoints around the Rose Bowl 

to search for and seize any fireworks. Parking enforcement officers will ensure that 

vehicles illegally parked in Pasadena’s hillside areas on July 4 are impounded. 

PINK POLICE 

LA County Police Chiefs’ Association kicks off Pink 

Patch Project for breast cancer awareness 

The Los Angeles County Police Chiefs’ Association 

(LACPCA) and public safety agencies across the nation 

have kicked off their 2019 Pink Patch Project. Pasadena 

Police Chief John Perez emceed the opening press 

conference Tuesday. 

The Pink Patch Project is aims to increase public 

awareness about breast cancer and to raise funds for 

the fight against the disease. It is a collaborative effort 

between the LACPCA and over 390 public safety agencies throughout the United States, 

with the program centering on vibrant pink versions of the agency’s uniform patches. 

Employees from the participating agencies will be wearing the pink patches on their 

uniforms during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. As part of this program, 

participating agencies are selling their commemorative pink patches to the community, 

along with T-shirts, challenge coins and other commemorative items.

South Pas Library Director Steve Fjeldsted retires 

with ‘End of the Beginning’ comedy night 

The South Pasadena Public Library and the 

Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library will 

present the “End of the Beginning” standup comedy 

show in the Community Room on Thursday, June 

27, at 7 p.m. The “clean yet clever,” family-friendly 

event will transform the stately historic venue into 

a comedy club filled with laughter. Doors for the allages 

event will open at 6:30 p.m. 

The show will conclude longtime Library 

Director Steve Fjeldsted’s last day on the job. A native of La Crescenta, Fjeldsted has 

been in charge of the library for the past 13 years. During his tenure, he turned its 

community room into a regular hotbed of artistic activity including music concerts, film 

screenings with artist Q&A sessions and dramatic performances. 

“South Pasadena is a highly educated, arts and cultural oriented community 

with so much talent around here and such an audience to pull from,” says Fjeldsted. 

“We’re surrounded by these bigger cities and to get attention from people can cost 

a lot of money and effort, but a quick way to keep the library on people’s minds 

and attract people there is to do events and I like leaving on that with smiles and 

laughter.” 

The Library Community Room is located at 1115 El Centro St. Refreshments will be 

served and no tickets or reservations are necessary. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and seats 

are limited. n

BETWEEN DARK AND LIGHT 

ROBERTO AGUIRRE-SACASA, THE MAN WHO CREATED ‘THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF 

SABRINA’ AND RETOOLED ARCHIE COMICS, BRINGS ‘GOOD BOYS’ TO PASADENA PLAYHOUSE 


As the creator of the hit CW network series “Riverdale” and the Netflix 

series “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” Roberto Aguirre- 

Sacasa has reinvented the world of the long-running Archie comics 

to create dazzlingly original shows that have ascended to be two of the 

top five most popular programs on the planet right now. As a result, 

he recently scored an $80 million production deal to create even more 

series. 

Yet prior to his current TV career and status overseeing Archie 

Comics’ TV and movie projects, Aguirre-Sacasa was an acclaimed playwright 

as well. In 2003, he wrote a play called “Good Boys and True,” 

about Brandon Hardy, a golden boy senior at St. Joseph’s Prep who is 

accused of being in a kinky sex tape. The accusation could shatter everything 

he’s worked for and his family reputation, and Brandon swears 

he’s not the boy in it — and the play follows him and his mother as they 

pull out all the stops to clear his name, which leads to the unearthing of 

shocking secrets that affect the entire school and their town. 

Aguirre-Sacasa decided to use his newfound TV success to revive 

the passion project play, and is mounting it as “Good Boys” at the Pasadena 

Playhouse from Wednesday through July 21. 

Speaking recently with the Pasadena Weekly, he shared the surprising 

inspiration for the play, how it’s more relevant than ever now in the 

#Metoo era and addressed the responsibility that comes with creating 

shows for impressionable young minds. 

Pasadena Weekly: What was the genesis of the play and how did 

you decide to revive it now? 

Aguirre-Sacasa: I wrote the first draft 15 years ago. It’s a play that’s 

set in a prep school, with its golden boy star athlete with great grades 

who’s president of his class and finds himself accused of a scandal. A 

videotape has been found of someone who looks like him having sex 

with a girl who goes to a public school, and the play’s sort of a mystery: 

Did this boy do it or not? Is he the guy on the tape? And the further mystery 

— if it was him, why was it him? It’s sort of about the boy and his 

mother having a huge reckoning about responsibility, morality and what 

constitutes acceptable and not acceptable behavior. It’s a prep school 

play like “Dead Poet’s Society” or “School Ties,” and a thriller about a 

mother trying to defend her son. I wrote it 15 years ago, and it has had 

productions, but it’s very rare for everything to come together and work 

perfectly. I started talking to [Playhouse artistic director] Danny Feldman 

after the Kavanaugh hearings, and said I want to do a little more

Ben Ahlers and Betsy Brandt in Good Boys 

work on it, but he loved it and that led it to the 

Pasadena Playhouse. 

Did this play come to you out of some sort 

of personal experience? 

I went to an all-boys prep school just outside 

of DC where I grew up, but I never experienced 

anything like what is in the play. What 

started me writing about this was the Duke 

lacrosse scandal, where the team had a party 

where things got extremely questionable and 

accusations were flying. I want to say it was 

just about that, but these kinds of scandals are 

happening with alarming frequency. I wanted 

to write about my high school experience and 

sort of combined the two. On one hand it’s 

very personal about my time there, and on the 

other it’s about the phenomenon of young men 

behaving poorly in the rarefied atmosphere of 

prep school, which has always been a hothouse 

of testosterone, privilege and insecurity. So it’s 

both personal and in response to something 

that happens all too often. The Duke players, 

as far as I know, were totally exonerated, but 

the culture that enables it was put on trial, and 

that’s in the play too. 

How were the current rewrites impacted 

by #METoo? 

The play is a period piece, set in 1989. Even 

the language we talk about — me too, toxic 

masculinity, check your privilege — these 

phrases didn’t exist back then. They were 

things you didn’t talk about or question and 

it’s unchecked. In that way it’s a period piece, 

very much an old boys’ locker room mentality, 

and not many people are challenging it. The 

main character, the mother, is challenging it 

but she’s very much a lone wolf on this. It’s not 

the revolution it is now. In the play she’s on her 

own, navigating these uncharted waters. She’s 

never been inside the gymnasium, locker room, 

coach’s office. In the play her husband always 

handled this, and he’s now out of town on a trip 

so she’s forced to get involved. Part of the challenge 

is asking is it possible to indict an entire 

system when it should be done on a case by 

case basis? The mother tries to blame the culture, 

saying, ‘My son wouldn’t have done this if 

not for the culture.’ The coach says, ‘Don’t kid 

yourself, there are a lot of kids in this culture 

who haven’t done anything remotely like what 

your son has been accused of doing.’ I agree 

there’s nothing more pressing and demanding 

to do than to look at the cases individually and 

judge as individuals. 

“Riverdale” sparked some controversy 

by having occasionally racy sexual scenes 

between its teenage characters, and “Sabrina” 

was accused by some for depicting a 

teenage witch deciding whether to follow her 

family’s bloodline into working with Satan. 

Yet “Riverdale” is extremely anti-drug and 

has basically good kids fighting evil, while 

“Sabrina,” in its final episode thus far, shows 

her unequivocally acting against Satan and 

picking good over evil as well. What do you 

have to say to your critics? 

It’s funny, I was raised Catholic, and I love 

scary movies like “The Omen,” “Rosemary’s 

Baby” and “The Exorcist.” In many ways, “Sabrina” 

is much more wholesome and innocent 

than “Riverdale.” The kids feel like real teenagers, 

and I think the show needed that innocence 

and optimism to balance out the darker 

elements. If the teens were older and more 

sexually active like they are on “Riverdale,” 

you wouldn’t get the delicious contradiction of 

Sabrina, a young woman of 16 facing down the 

Dark Lord. It’s also about her family and always 

defending the underdog and her friends, so it’s 

hard to ignore that. You can find reason to be 

offended by anything, but when you really look 

at Sabrina it’s so clear that this isn’t reality, that 

she and her family love each other, and they 

fight for good even if they were raised to say 

‘Hail Satan.’ If you’re looking for a cause to be 

offended, you will find it. But that’s not what 

the show is about. It’s really about a kid finding 

their place in the world. 

To me the difference is the kids are in 

committed relationships in “Riverdale,” and 

hooking up is not a constant focus of the 

show. And you fight drugs with Archie. On 

“Euphoria,” there’s constant drugs, teen date 

rape, and a trans kid gets raped by a man. 

Its creator laughs, saying they’re making the 

most messed up show imaginable to freak out 

parents. Where do you draw the line or feel 

responsibility? 

I saw “Euphoria” when it premiered and I 

really, really enjoyed it and I thought going in 

it might be really nihilistic and I don’t want to 

see teenagers suffering. But I really enjoyed it, 

thought it well done and was captivated by it 

and the kids on the show. But “Riverdale” is so 

different from it. We’re so far from reality. It’s 

so heightened, we often get criticized because 

our kids are never in school — they’re running 

clubs, owning restaurants and solving murders. 

It’s escapism. I think every artist draws the 

line with what they want to explore, depict and 

show. We’ve kind of gone there, we had one 

episode where Cheryl Blossom was slipped 

a mickey and was going to be date raped but 

the Pussycats showed up and beat the tar out 

of them. You have to decide what you want to 

put out there and what you want to say, but I’ve 

always been more interested in escapism and 

genre, crime and pulp. n

exhausted.” “I can’t stay 

focused.” “It feels like a 

“I’m 

sledgehammer’s pounding 

me in the ground every day.” 

I’ve heard and seen such comments 

in so many places, I’ve lost 

track of their frequency — every 

day, it feels like. No doubt you 

have heard and seen them too. 

New variations on those themes 

circulate with each fresh round 

of norm-rocking headlines, and 

the cumulative effect of constant 

chaos will not be ignored. This is 

not normal; this is not in the same 

area code as normalcy. This is not 

on the grid. This is not even sane. 

As a child in my grandparents’ 

home, I’d listen to my granddad 

play piano and sing in his 

hearty, ringing bass tones, and 

that would dispel whatever was 

disquieting my little girl mind. 

As I grew older, I found solace in 

singing and jamming with friends. 

Music remains a steadying compass 

point in life, as it does for 

many of us. In times of trouble, 

there’s cathartic healing to be 

found in gathering with the clan 

to raise voices together, or just 

share songs and stories that reestablish 

our communal horizon 

line and understanding. Fearsome 

warlords throughout the 

centuries have recognized this, 

engaging troubadours, dancers, 

poets and playwrights to bond 

their community and keep their 

torments at bay. 

So a ticket to respite is 

promised by a night of old friends 

sharing songs and stories. This 

Saturday, that is precisely what 

Katy Moffatt, Mike Fleming, and 

Tom Corbett will be doing at Coffee 

Gallery Backstage. Granted, 

hearing Corbett cheerfully promise, 

“I’m gonna take you fishing, 

honey/ You’re gonna love it” over 

a chunky bluegrass mandolin riff 

is lightyears from medieval troubadours 

fawning over royals with 

ballads of courtly love, but times 

change, right? Hear, hear, and hallelujah 

for silly stuff too. 

All three artists are familiar 

to local audiences, having 

performed numerous acoustic 

concerts in Pasadena-area 

venues over the years. Moffatt 

achieved renown in folk and 

country circles beginning in the 

1970s, garnering acclaim for her 

full-throated, emotional vocal 

style and tasteful albums such 

as 1993’s Tom Russell-produced 

“The Greatest Show on Earth” 

(aka “The Evangeline Hotel”) 

and 1999’s Dave Alvin-produced 

“Loose Diamond.” Fleming is perhaps 

best known as one-third of 

entertaining bluegrass-cowboygypsy 

jazz trio New West, winning 

awards for his songwriting 

and high regard for his onstage 

warmth and smooth harmonies. 

Corbett’s a remarkable musician 

and generous spirit onstage and 

off, as comfortable accompanying 

guitar and mandolin students 

at the Topanga Banjo Fiddle 

Festival as he is fronting his own 

shows or backing the likes of 

John McEuen. 

Circle it on your calendar. I’ll 

see ya there. n

Picking up the guitar at the age of 6, Sardinas studied the sounds of Motown, R&B, 

gospel and rootsy blues while absorbing licks from Delta blues masters including 

Robert Johnson and Skip James. He also took influences from the Chicago end of the 

blues spectrum, including Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Rush and Albert King. 

Sardinas has also incorporated rock sounds of the 1950 and ’60s, creating his own 

sound. 

He tours nationally and around the world, and has released several albums.

Music starts at 8 p.m. Saturday at Big Mama’s Rib Shack, 1453 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena. 

Tickets are $12 to $50. Visit pasadenablues.com.

TRAX BY BLISS 

RANKY TANKY, Stand By Me (indie release): 

HHH½ 

The Charleston, South Carolina-based quintet 

tease their forthcoming full-length “Good Time,” 

out July 12, with this five-track EP. Known for 

reinterpreting folk, gospel and jazz traditionals with 

Gullah rhythms and language (“Sea Island Creole”), 

here Ranky Tanky (translation: “get funky with it”) 

also draw inspiration from West African ancestors 

enslaved along Carolina coastal plains and islands 

for originals like the spiritual “Stand By Me,” “Let 

Me Be,” and “Freedom,” a stirring showcase for 

the band and their uplifting message: “They take 

our land/ They take our rights/ But they’ll never 

know our power/ We’ll keep up the fight/ We want 

Freedom.” rankytanky.com 

THE SMALL GLORIES, Assiniboine & the 

Red (Red House): HHH½ 

Robust songwriting and joyful vocal chemistry 

between multi-instrumentalist JD Edwards and 

Wailin’ Jennys co-founder Cara Luft animate 

the Canadian duo’s sophomore album. Edwards 

shadows Luft’s vibrato-textured alto in deft 

harmony, as accordion, banjo, upright bass, Dobro, 

fiddle and guitars impart Appalachian texture to 

tracks like “Long Long Moon,” “Johnson Slide” 

and “Alberta.” The less poetic “Sing” doubles as 

mission statement: “I could sing for the praise/ 

Spitting out nothing/ Wasting time up on the stage/ 

Good folks are bleeding freedom/ Denied their truth/ 

One thing I can do is sing for you.” RIYL Civil Wars, 

the Steel Wheels. thesmallglories.com

R&B keyboardist/producer Mike Milosh slows down 

the BPMs for eight songs about loving his woman 

and his baby grand piano, on which he composed 

spare music that’s all about connection, rather than 

challenge. The vibe is contemplative and seriously 

chill, with Milosh’s romantic sighs and yearning, 

minor-key melodies going down as easily as a 

glass of pinot noir at sunset. Highlights include 

“Patience,” its harmonic elegance heightened by a 

guest turn from Icelandic pianist/composer Ólafur 

Arnalds; the hypnotic “Needed”; and the sweet, 

slow-building “Save Me.” Opening for Leon Bridges 

at Hollywood Bowl July 5. rhyemusic.com 

CHIP & TONY KINMAN, Sounds Like Music 

(Omnivore): HHHH 

We lost a good man and musician when Tony 

Kinman died last year. The lanky bassist’s deep

wisecracking tenor yang, a dynamic that brightens 

this gratifying compilation of 22 previously 

unreleased tracks (including four with Alejandro 

Escovedo) by cowpunk trailblazers Rank and File, 

SoCal punkers the Dils, the underrated Cowboy 

Nation, and category-defying Blackbird. Surprises 

include an ethereal “Old Paint,” a snarling alternate 

take on “Rank and File,” and a sweetly sung, 

requiem-like version of Tom Waits’ “Jersey Girl.”

PAST ACTION HEROES ROCK T. BOYLES 

CATCH A GROUP THAT IS SERIOUSLY FUNNY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY A SERIOUS MUSICAL ACT WHEN PAST ACTION 

HEROES TAKES THE STAGE AT T. BOYLE’S TAVERN FRIDAY NIGHT. 

To the uninitiated, the band dresses in costumes reminiscent of TV action series heroes of the 1980s and ’90s, such as 

“MacGyver,” Michael Knight of “Night Rider,” “Magnum P.I” and various other icons. 

The show consists of hit music from the decades of Reagan and Clinton, and they totally rock in the process. Past 

Action Heroes’ musical renditions are spot-on, and the band’s musicianship is arena-worthy. This is serious music, performed 

with a wink and a smile, offering a humorous take on the era. 

They’ve performed shows at clubs all around the area, as well as Santa Anita Park, and they’re a popular call for events 

like weddings and parties. Their past client endorsements glow with praise. 

Check them out at pastactionheroes.com. — John Sollenberger 

Music starts at 10 p.m. Friday at T.Boyle’s Tavern, 37 N. Catalina Ave., in Rhodes Alley between Catalina and Mentor avenues.

‘DAMES AT SEA’ BRINGS NOSTALGIC SUMMER FUN TO SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE 

The Sierra Madre Playhouse is beloved 

for producing enjoyable plays gilded 

in the charm of a small-town vibe. But 

it originated as a movie theater for the 

bucolic burg of roughly 11,000 citizens 

— a town so small that it still has only 

one stoplight — and this summer its 

programmers are weaving together 

both aspects of its rich cultural history 

by presenting the old-school musical 

“Dames at Sea” as well as a series of 

classic movies that inspired the style of 

“Dames” on Wednesday nights. 

“Dames” follows the story of Ruby, 

an actress who hits the stage as a chorus 

girl but might wind up a star, in a 

musical comedy that is also a hilarious 

homage to the glamorous and hopeful 

musicals of the 1930s. According to 

director Joshua Finkel, the combination 

is bringing a full slate of summer fun to 

the theater’s small but hallowed stage 

as it runs through July 21. 

“It’s going really, really well,” says 

Finkel, who is making his Playhouse 

debut with the production “What drew 

us to the show is it’s small and works 

for the kind of space we have. Part of 


the creator’s message in the forward of 

the libretto says ‘think of this as Busby 

Berkeley but on a postage stamp.’ Part 

of the satire is to create the same effect 

of having thousands of people onstage 

with just six. 

“It’s a tipping of the hat to movie 

musicals of the 1930s, and extremely 

American,” he continues. “Christian 

Lebano, the Playhouse’s artistic 

director, wants American theater by 

American playwrights and that’s his 

mission. It’s uniquely American, and 

what’s really cool is that they’re screening 

a movie series Wednesday nights 

of the movies ‘Dames’ is based on: 

‘42nd Street,’ ‘Gold Diggers of 1933’ 

and ‘Footlight Parade,’ plus ‘Yankee 

Doodle Dandy.’” 

“Yankee Doodle Dandy” will screen 

at 8 p.m. July 3, while “Footlight Parade” 

follows at 8 p.m. July 10. “42nd 

Street” closes out the series at 8 p.m. 

July 17, with tickets to all three screenings 

available for $10 per movie. 

Finkel notes that all those films had 

the same basic cast or filmmakers, with 

stars like Ruby Keeler, Guy Blondell and 

James Cagney playing archetypes in 

archetypal plots. “Dames” is a takeoff 

of that style, as it “takes the stakes to 

crazy ridiculous situations the entire 

show, over one crazy long day of 

opening a Broadway show at the Hippodrome 

in the 1930s.” 

“The Works Progress Administration 

is moving in to demolish the theater 

because the producer couldn’t pay 

the bills after 12 flops in a row, so at 

the end of act one, the theater is demolished 

while they’re singing ‘Good Times 

are Here to Stay,’” laughs Finkel, who 

met Lebano when they were students 

in the theater program of the University 

of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “The second 

act is on a ship after they’ve moved the 

show there, which is ridiculous that 

they could move the locations and write 

a whole new score for it in just one day. 

This is truly screwball level comedy.” n 

“Dames at Sea” runs through July 21 at the 

Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W. Sierra Madre 

Blvd., Sierra Madre. Tickets are $25 to $45.

•FILM• 


You probably can’t go to any civilized place on the planet without 

hearing the music of The Beatles on a daily basis. Their music 

has dominated the pop culture landscape for well over 50 years, 

with 27 No. 1 singles in the US alone, and well over 100 million albums 

sold. 

But in “Yesterday” — the latest film from Danny Boyle, perhaps 

the most eclectic director working today (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “127 

Hours,” “Trainspotting”)— a struggling young musician named Jack 

(Himesh Patel ) is ready to give up on his ambitions after a disastrous 

appearance at a music festival. His longtime friend and manager Ellie 

(Lily James) is heartbroken by his decision, and tries to convince him 

that a miracle might be just around the corner. 

It turns out that she’s remarkably prescient, for while Jack rides his 

bike home that night, a worldwide power outage occurs for 12 seconds 

and he’s hit by a bus in the darkness. When he awakens in a hospital 

with his two front teeth missing, he also finds that no one around him 

knows who The Beatles are or recognizes any of their songs. 

Searching the Internet, he finds that there are literally no references 

to The Beatles, and his record collection is devoid of their albums 

as well. The Rolling Stones exist, but the Beatles-derivative band 

Oasis has also been wiped off the planet’s collective consciousness. 

Jack sees a golden opportunity in all of this, and proceeds to play from 

memory and record as many of the Fab Four’s tunes as he can, claiming 

the songs as his own. 

He immediately finds himself on a rocket ride to fame, as presentday 

superstar Ed Sheeran (playing himself with comic aplomb) sees 

him on a local TV show and hires him as his opening act on tour. But 

when Jack starts getting more fan mania than Ed himself and Ed’s 

comically ruthless manager (Kate McKinnon) pushes to make him the 

biggest artist of all time, things start to get complicated on both his 

professional front and his relationship with Ellie. 

“Yesterday” is a terrifically good time at the movies, with Boyle 

deftly handling the fantasy, comedy and romantic elements with total 

grace. Patel’s performance as Jack should be an instant star-maker for 

the actor, who has previously only worked in British television but has 

a magnetic ability to earn empathy for a character that might have just 

Missing Music 

DANNY BOYLE’S COMIC MUSICAL FANTASY ‘YESTERDAY’ 

IMAGINES A WORLD WITHOUT THE BEATLES 

seemed like a selfish con artist in the hands of most actors. 

As Ellie, James is clearly channeling a young Keira Knightley with 

irresistible winsomeness, but the world needs more of that kind of 

delightful charm, especially when Knightley has matured into more 

complex roles. Sheeran brings surprising comical zing to his part, as 

he is increasingly baffled by Jack’s inexplicable ability to craft timeless 

classics like “The Long and Winding Road” in a bar bet on who can 

compose the best song within ten minutes. McKinnon brings a zesty 

sense of comic ruthlessness and greed to the table, delivering some of 

the funniest moments. 

The screenplay by Richard Curtis— the mastermind of rom-com 

classics “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill” and “Love Actually”— 

stands up to that prior wonderful trio, grounding everything in 

relatable characters and, of course, ample opportunities to hear the 

greatest pop songs ever through the fresh voice and adaptations of Jack. 

Curtis layers in some intriguing moral quandaries as well, as Jack 

lives in constant fear of someone catching on to his ruse, or the world 

suddenly remembering The Beatles again. Nearly everyone has faced 

a moment in life where they could get away with a scam or a shortcut 

that is highly questionable, and the way that Jack faces his is both 

moving and entertaining. 

The film also provides some thoughtful insights into the creative 

process of great songwriting, as Jack and his producers put their own 

fresh tweaks on the tunes, turning “Help” into a revved-up rocker that 

sounds like a Ramones tune, for instance. And when Jack realizes he’s 

going to face questions about what inspired each song, he heads to key 

places like Liverpool to try and get his own understanding of places 

like Penny Lane and Eleanor Rigby’s grave. 

But the most fascinating part of this unexpected charmer is being 

forced to consider what would happen if the whole world was deprived 

of The Beatles’ joyous music. “Yesterday” makes you appreciate the 

magical soundtrack their music has played in all our lives since the 

early 1960s, and will hopefully continue to color our lives for generations 

to come. n

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


LATE NIGHT 

Stars: Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling 

Length: 102 minutes 

Directed by: Nisha Ganatra 

Rating: R 

This sharp yet relatable comedy follows what 

happens when a late-night host about to be 

put out to pasture (Thompson) hires a young 

superfan who appears to be just an unqualified 

diversity hire (Kaling) but winds up helping the 

host get her creative and fighting spirit back. 

Wise and witty, it has characters to root for and 

a refreshing can-do spirit that's inspirational. 

Grade: A 

THE LAST BLACK MAN IN 

SAN FRANCISCO 

Stars: Jimmie Fails,. Jonathan Majors 


Directed by: Joe Talbot 

Rating: R 

A stunning acting debut by Fails, who also cowrote 

with director Talbot based on his own life 

story, this movie is a visually poetic ode to the 

title city as Fails breaks into and squats in the 

remarkable house he grew up in while the city 

changes around him unrecognizably. On every 

level, this is a unique artistic statement that 

recalls the earliest attention-getting works of 

Spike Lee at his best. Grade: A 

ROCKETMAN 

Stars: Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell 


Directed by: Dexter Fletcher 

Rating: R 

This outstanding biopic of Elton John takes 

a different approach to telling a music 

legend's life story than last year's "Bohemian 

Rhapsody," using elaborate fantasy song 

and dance numbers that make this feel like a 

spectacular Broadway show, while also telling 

a more emotional tale of the rough road to selfacceptance. 

Grade: A 

MA 

Stars: Octavia Spencer, Diana Silvers, 

Juliette Lewis 


Directed by: Tate Taylor 

Rating: R 

The latest comedic horror film from the usually 

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

Oscar-winner 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.

will allow the personal representative

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 July 17, 2019 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 

67 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles,

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
