POLITICIANS & WAR 

With every passing year, 

politicians grow more confident 

in their ability to thrust 

Americans into another war, 

to make decisions that benefit 

themselves and not their constituents, 

and to increase their 

profits as the average American 

can hardly scrape by. 

Few politicians take a stand 

against this, to what has become 

the norm, and when they 

do, the mainstream media will 

either smear them or not cover 

them at all. It takes a soldierpresident 

to reverse this 

course. Fortunately, we have 

such a candidate right now.

Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard recently kicked off her

“These powerful politicians dishonor the sacrifices made by

During her time in Congress, Gabbard has taken the now rare 

position of calling out and opposing the United States’ interventionist 

military policies. Gabbard further expressed that “every 

American pays the price for these wars that cost us trillions of 

dollars since 9/11.”

Committee to endorse Bernie 

Sanders, as the establishment 

Democrats and the mainstream 

media made an orchestrated 

attempt to push their candidate 

of choice, Hillary Clinton. It 

would seem history repeats 

itself. CNN has already effectively 

endorsed Kamala Harris, 

providing her with favorable 

coverage and a primetime town 

hall event. 

Over the years I’ve learned 

it’s best to first follow the 

money. Harris’ largest donor 

is Warner Media Group, the 

parent company of CNN. Tulsi 

Gabbard is a unique 2020 presidential 

candidate who is not 

taking corporate PAC money to 

fund her campaign. That means 

all of her funding must come 

from the people. 

I was 11 years old when 

John F. Kennedy delivered his 

inaugural address. His speech 

had a profound impact on my 

life when several years later 

I would volunteer to join the 

Marine Corps. Gabbard turned 

to those inspiring words when 

she said this: “I ask you to join 

me, in this spirit of putting 

service before self, to stand up 

against the forces of greed and 

corruption. Kennedy once said, 

‘Ask not what your country can 

do for you, but what you can do 

for your country.’ We must heed 

his call to action today, at this 

critical time in our history. We 

must stand up and fight for the 

soul of our country.” 

It is clear that we, as a nation, 

have forgotten the core 

principles of what America was 

meant to be. Gabbard’s words 

and deeds as a soldier and 

elected representative offer a 

glimmer of hope that she might 

be the right leader to help us all 

rediscover what it means to be 

an American. 

“When we raise our right 

hand and volunteer to serve, we 

set aside our own interests to 

serve our country, to fight for 

all Americans. It is this principle 

of service above self, that 

is at the heart of every soldier. 

At the heart of every service 

member.” She continued, “I will 

bring this soldier’s principles 

to the White House, restoring 

the values of dignity, honor 

and respect to the presidency 

and above all else, love for our 

people and love for our country.”

•GUEST OPINION• 

BY EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON 

WEAPONS OF CHOICE 

WOULD IMPEACHMENT HELP RE-ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP? 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seems to be of two 

minds. 

Pelosi has repeatedly said no to the idea 

of impeaching President Trump. She gravely 

warns that Trump is goading the opposition into 

impeaching him because he sees this as his ticket 

back to the White House in 2020. Impeachment, 

he believes, will fire up his base by allowing him 

to go into full-blown victim mode. 

But Pelosi then pivots and says that Trump 

must be held accountable. That seems to imply 

that impeachment is still on her agenda. 

The question that Pelosi correctly zeroes 

in on as other Democrats hound her to get the 

Nancy Pelosi 

impeachment show on the road is this: Will a 

House impeachment gambit help or hurt Trump 

more than it helps or hurts the Democrats? 

Polls show that, much like the House of Representatives itself, there are a lot 

of people who believe impeachment is a bad idea for Democrats. Polls also show 

that independents, who will be a big factor in the presidential election, also don’t 

really like the idea, even though a lot of them don’t like Trump. 

Trump can take his cues from what happened with President Bill Clinton. 

Clinton was impeached by the then-GOP-controlled House, but the then- 

Democrat-controlled Senate didn’t convict, and Clinton’s popularity numbers 

soared. If Clinton could have run for a third term in 2000 he almost certainly 

would have been re-elected. 

The issue must be framed this way for two practical reasons. One, 

impeachment will be almost exclusively a Democratic show in the House, since 

almost no House Republicans would ever back the effort. The other reason is 

that the GOP-controlled Senate would never vote to convict. So, if it’s a strictly 

partisan effort, it comes off as nothing more than a political stunt, or at best an 

empty gesture done purely to satisfy progressive Democrats. 

But what about the Democrats who hail from districts populated by anything 

but progressives? More than a handful of new House Democrats come from those 

districts, which are full of Republicans, independents, and centrist Democrats 

who want nothing to do with an impeachment move by their representatives. 

Such a battle would cause undue strain and give the GOP an opening to take 

back some of the seats they lost in 2018. 

However, here’s the reason why Pelosi is walking a tightrope on impeachment. 

A compelling case can be made that going after Trump with impeachment will 

energize Democrats. But would it actually do that? This is not a small concern, 

given that the Democratic presidential candidate field is way overloaded, with 

all of them struggling to find a unifying message that will stir enough Democrats 

to storm the polls in 2020. Is impeachment, with Democrats showing they aren’t 

afraid to fight for a principle despite the risks, that message? 

Pro-impeachment Democrats got a big boost when Special Counsel Robert 

Mueller implied that Trump had committed crimes, and that if not for the legal 

constraints of going after a sitting president he could have been indicted. Mueller 

punted but in the process practically invited Congress to go after Trump through 

the only means at its disposal, and that’s impeachment. At least, that’s the way 

a lot of Democrats are reading Mueller’s report, Pelosi among them. This is 

what’s behind her saying that he must be held accountable. But does being held 

accountable mean impeachment? 

The best bet for Democrats is booting Trump out of the White House at the 

polls. It won’t be easy. He will have a united GOP behind him, a king’s ransom 

in campaign cash, the fawning attention of mainstream media, his Twitter bully 

pulpit, and the appearance of a bustling economy to crow about. The worst thing 

to do now is to give him yet another weapon. Clearly Trump sees impeachment 

as that weapon. Many Democrats don’t. But if they’re wrong, it will help re-elect 

him. ■

JUSTICE IN NUMBERS 

HIGH COURT BARS CITIZENSHIP QUESTION FROM APPEARING ON US CENSUS FORMS 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

The US Supreme Court ruled last week that the Trump administration 

cannot include a question about citizenship on the 

2020 US Census form — for now. 

The controversy surrounds the administration’s plans to 

include the question, “Is this person a citizen of the United 

States?” 

Critics claim including the question could keep Latinos and 

other minorities from filling out the census, resulting in urban 

communities losing millions of dollars in federal funds and 

congressional seats. 

In a 5-4 ruling made along partisan lines, the deeply divided 

court ruled that while the government has the right to ask a 

citizenship question, it needs to justify its inclusion in the census. 

Siding with the court’s four liberal justices, Chief Justice John 

Roberts said that there was sufficient reason for concern about 

why the US Commerce Department wanted to add the question. 

“The sole stated reason seems to have been contrived,” 

Roberts wrote for the majority. “We are presented, in other words, 

with an explanation for agency action that is incongruent with 

what the record reveals about the agency’s priorities and decision 

making process.” 

The Trump administration has claimed that the question was 

added to collect more detailed citizenship data to better enforce 

part of the Voting Rights Act. 

After the June 27 ruling, President Trump called for a delay to 

the census until his lawyers could get more information about the 

question for future court proceedings. 

“Can anyone really believe that as a great country, we are not 

MAN OF HIS TIMES 

US DISTRICT JUDGE MANUEL 

REAL, WHO ORDERED BUSING 

IN PASADENA SCHOOLS IN 

1970, DIES AT AGE 95 

The day before US Sen. 

Kamala Harris slammed 

former Vice President 

Joe Biden in the Democratic 

presidential debate 

for his past positions 

against busing, US Central 

District Senior Judge 

Manuel L. Real, the man Manuel Real 

who forced the Pasadena 

Unified School District to implement busing, 

died at age 95. 

A cause of death was not immediately 

known. No memorial plans have been announced. 

Real’s controversial ruling was decided by 

the US Supreme Court and eventually came to 

define actions taken by school districts all over 

California in efforts to address a racial exclusion 

crisis occurring in public schools. 

“I am sad beyond words at the death of our 

beloved friend, colleague, mentor and leader,” 

said US Central Court Chief Judge Virginia A. 

Phillips in a prepared statement. 

“Judge Real has been the heart and soul of 

our district since it was formed in 1966 and his 

passing leaves an unfillable void for us, his family, 

the legal world and the larger community,” 

Phillips wrote. “His legacy of public service is an 

inspiration beyond compare.” 

On Jan. 20, 1970, Real ruled that the 

Pasadena Unified School District could not 

discriminate based on race and ordered that, 

“Commencing in September of 1970, there shall 

be no school in the District elementary or junior 

high or senior high school, with a majority of 

any minority students.” 

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit 

filed by local residents Jim and Bobbie Spangler, 

Wilton and Dorothy Clarke and Skipper and 

Pat Rostker. 

According to a 2007 article written by PW 

Editor Kevin Uhrich, racial issues in Pasadena 

went beyond segregation. The American Nazi 

Party had set up shop in nearby El Monte and 

the Southern-based White Citizens Council, a 

group whose members belonged to the Ku Klux 

Klan, tried to establish a foothold in Pasadena. 

In 1968 — the year that both Martin Luther 

King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated 

— the Spanglers, along with the Rostkers and 

Clarkes, filed the federal lawsuit.

ONE MORE STEP 

CITY REACHES PENULTIMATE STAGE 

OF MINIMUM RAISE INCREASE 


Pasadena’s minimum wage increased to $14.25 on Sunday, 

but local officials and business owners remain deeply divided 

on the impact of the city’s minimum wage. 

Some business owners claim the increases have had 

significant negative impacts on employment opportunities for 

people at the lower end of the pay scale. 

According to Pasadena Chamber of Commerce CEO Paul Little, fewer business 

owners are hiring teenagers during the summer due to the wage increase. Increasing 

the minimum wage was opposed by members of the chamber, who favored smaller 

pay hikes. Under that proposal, minimum wage would have increased to $12.50 by 

2020, and then stopped there. 

“Those who hire minimum-wage workers have cut back on hiring, reduced their 

workforce and demanded a higher level of skill and experience from people who are 

hired,” Little told the Pasadena Weekly. “We are also likely to see more places close as 

profitability becomes more and more difficult.” 

But Jon Pollard, Pasadena’s code compliance manager, who visits hundreds of 

Pasadena businesses every year, said so far he has not seen much negative impact. 

“I don’t think the city would say there have been any negative impacts based on the 

minimum wage increase,” Pollard said. “This is just me speaking, but I think it would 

be very hard to parse the reason for a business closing. Restaurants have a famously 

high closure rate in the first year.” 

In February, the Pasadena City Council reviewed the impacts of the minimum 

wage increases on reducing poverty, unemployment, job creation, and the overall 

business climate and voted to increase it to $14.25 this year and $15 in 2020. 

Beginning July 1, 2022 the local hourly wage will be adjusted annually by an 

amount equal to the expected increase in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County 

consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers. 

But even at $15 an hour, it’s almost impossible for single minimum wage earners to 

live in Pasadena. 

The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Pasadena has risen more than 

51.7 percent in the past six years, with rents on some one-bedroom apartments 

totaling well over $2,000 a month. n

BREEDERS’ CUP OFFICIALS VOTE 

TO KEEP RACE AT SANTA ANITA 

DESPITE FATALITIES 


Paul Little 

Despite injuries that have forced Santa Anita Park officials to 

Craig Fravel 

euthanize 30 horses since December, Breeders’ Cup board 

members said they would not move the race to Churchill Downs in Kentucky. 

The announcement came after the Breeders’ Cup’s 14-member board unanimously 

voted to keep its Nov. 1-2 championship races at the Arcadia racetrack. 

“Foremost among the core values of the Breeders’ Cup are the safety and integrity 

of the competition and we hold ourselves, our host sites and our competitors to the 

highest standards of both,” Craig Fravel, president and CEO of the Breeders’ Cup, said 

in a prepared statement. “It is clear that meaningful and effective reforms and best 

practices have been implemented in recent months at Santa Anita through the collective 

efforts of The Stronach Group (owners of the track), the Thoroughbred Owners 

of California, the California Thoroughbred Trainers, and the California Horse Racing 

Board.” 

Members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) praised the decision, 

primarily because more horses have died at Churchill Downs than at Santa Anita. 

“Who could possibly have thought that it was a good idea to move the Breeders’ 

Cup from a track that is trying to stop the carnage to one with an even more shameful 

record of fatalities?” said PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. “The Breeders’ 

Cup board made the right decision. Now, it should disallow trainers with multiple 

medication violations from all races.” 

According to a report in USA Today, Churchill Downs does not publicly disclose its 

racing fatalities, but a spokesman for the track confirmed figures obtained through a 

public records request of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. 

Those records show that 43 horses were euthanized due to racing injuries since 

2016, a 2.42 per 1,000-start average that was 50 percent higher than the national average 

during the same three-year span. 

The deaths have rocked officials at Santa Anita. The park closed in March after 

the 21st horse died and put new safety protocols in place, including banning race day 

medication, increasing transparency of veterinary records, further regulating approval 

for workouts, and increasing reviews of the track’s surface. 

Some experts believe the injuries have been caused by an extra hard track created 

in response to this year’s above average rainfall. 

Earlier this week California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that gives 

the the California Horse Racing Board the power to suspend racing at any time should 

it see a safety issue for horses and riders. Newsom also added a veterinarian to the 

board. n

able to ask whether or not someone is a citizen. 

Only in America!” Trump posted on Twitter. 

An undercount could be devastating for those 

areas. Population counts from the 2020 census 

will be used to determine how many congressional 

seats and Electoral College votes each state gets 

for the next decade. The data will also be used to 

help distribute nearly $900 billion in federal funding 

for such things as schools, roads and other public 

services. 

Pasadena and several other cities have been 

encouraging residents to participate in the census. 

Those cities have formed what are being called 

Complete Count Committees (CCCs) which seek out 

immigrant communities and encourage residents to 

participate in the census. 

Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek, who chairs the 

local CCC, told the Pasadena Weekly that he was 

pleased and excited about the ruling. 

“We’ve already had a couple of meetings ,” 

Tornek said. “We are very concerned, because 

we know we were undercounted last time. It is 

much more daunting because of the climate of 

fear surrounding the census. We were desperately 

worried about this question. We have our hands 

full already and that was going to make it more 

challenging. I am excited. We allocated city funds, 

and have funds coming through the county. We have 

started lining up people and resources to get an 

accurate count.” 

Locally, the census is used to adjust and 

sometimes redraw local City Council and 

Pasadena Unified School District boundaries to 

ensure that the city is complying with federal 

voting rights laws. 

“We hope the federal government avoids taking 

any action that could dissuade residents from 

participating in the census count and adversely 

affect federal funding for vital services and 

programs they rely on,” said City Manager Steve 

Mermell. “City staff and community volunteers 

are undertaking efforts to support the work of the 

Census Bureau and achieve as accurate a count as 

possible for Pasadena.” 

In 1993, census data led to local political district 

lines being redrawn to create a district which 

increased voting opportunities for primarily Latino 

residents living in an enclave which later became 

District 5. This was an area of the city which the 

1990 census revealed was 27 percent Latino. 

“Here in our city, we have been working to 

ensure that all of our residents, the youngest to the 

oldest, are counted in the census, and the inclusion 

of the citizenship question would have presented 

a significant barrier to full participation,” said 

Vannia De La Cuba, field representative for District 

5 Councilman Victor Gordo. “Today’s SCOTUS 

decision was an important victory for all of us. An 

undercount would hurt all communities because 

the census data are crucial to ensuring equitable 

distribution of federal funds for a wide range of vital 

programs, including many programs that provide

services for our community here in Pasadena.” 

The case was sent back to a New York court 

for further explanation from the administration, 

but officials with the Census Bureau claimed they 

needed to start printing the census forms by July 1. 

Federal judges there and in Maryland and 

California have already ruled against the 

administration’s proposal. 

“This is an incredibly hopeful decision,” said 

Rector Mike Kinman of All Saints Church, which 

has vehemently opposed Trump’s immigration 

policy and vowed to open its doors as a sanctuary 

for those who fear deportation during immigration 

raids. 

“A question has been effectively denied from 

the census that would result in taxation without 

representation for countless people of color, many 

of whom are part of our community. At least this 

morning, fear lost and justice won at the highest 

court in the land.” 

Kinman also pointed out that the decision in an 

example of how the nation is supposed to work. 

“The Judicial Branch recognized that the 

Executive Branch was trying to manipulate the 

Constitution for its own political ends and very 

clearly called it out and denied it that chance.” 

Six of the bureau’s former directors, who have 

served under both Democratic and Republican 

administrations, have warned that adding the 

citizenship question would jeopardize the accuracy 

of the population count. 

The Trump administration has maintained that 

the question was added to collect more detailed 

citizenship data to enforce part of the Voting Rights 

Act. The district court judges concluded that was 

not the real reason for the administration’s lastminute 

push for adding the question. 

In May, the daughter of deceased Republican 

operative Thomas Hofeller revealed that in 2015 

Hofeller conducted a private study and concluded 

that a citizenship question would decrease the 

political power of Latinos and “be advantageous 

to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites” in the 

redistricting process. 

Hofeller also surmised that employing 

citizenship data derived from the census would 

“provoke a high degree of resistance from 

Democrats and the major minority groups in the 

nation.” 

Hofeller later urged the Trump administration 

to adopt the question and worked with the 

administration to help craft its public legal 

argument that the Census Bureau needed 

citizenship data to better enforce the Voting Rights 

Act of 1965. 

Federal judges in California, New York and 

Maryland are aware of those documents along with 

the Supreme Court, according to the New Yorker. 

“If judicial review is to be more than an empty 

ritual, it must demand something better than the 

explanation offered for the action taken in this 

case,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote. n

PASADENA CELEBRATES THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF 

THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR LANDING 

BY JANA J. MONJI 

In July, there will be many opportunities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 

the Apollo 11 moon landing. 

NASA already has program lessons posted online for young 

students, some featuring that intrepid beagle Snoopy who has a long 

association with NASA. Online and on TV, PBS will begin its Summer of 

Space with new documentaries premiering as well as space-related encores. 

Two special screenings and celebrations will also help 

commemorate that one giant leap for mankind. As the NASA 

logo suggests, all are looking toward the Next Giant Leap. 

From July 5 to Aug. 11, the Rose Bowl will host a new 360-degree adventure, 

“Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show,” which will feature an original story performed by a 

20-member ensemble inside a “Lunar Dome” containing 40,000 square feet of video projections 

that take visitors from the launch of the enormous Saturn V rocket to the moon. The Apollo 11 

presentation features life-sized rockets and expects to perform in 18 cities across the US for the 

next three years. 

For more information, visit RoseBowlStadium.com. 

Beginning on Monday, PBS’s “American Experience” features the three-part series “Chasing 

the Moon,” answering questions about being an astronaut. It also looks at diversity and sexism 

during the days of the Apollo mission, while reminding us of the period’s tumultuous political 

backdrop. 

Part One, “A Place Beyond the Sky,” features CBS Evening News Anchorman Walter Cronkite 

and other journalists describing how they attempted to bring what was essentially a “radio 

story” of disembodied voices with no visuals to the American public. The race to beat the Russians 

to the moon started under President John F. Kennedy, but Apollo 11 reached the moon 

under President Richard M. Nixon. 

Part Two on July 9, “Earthrise,” reveals a not-so-hidden figure, Frances “Poppy” Northcutt, 

and the tale of the first African-American astronaut candidate, Ed Dwight. To get the public behind 

the race to the moon, astronauts were used for public relations purposes. Although it was 

20 years before an African American would make it into space, Dwight, now a sculptor, raised 

the hopes of people around the world. 

At 25, Northcutt, was not an astronaut, but she still gained fame as the first woman in 

NASA’s flight control room. 

“What I remember most about Apollo 11 is that it was so very normal,” Northcutt recalled 

in a recent telephone interview. “When you’re simulating and planning for missions, 

you’re dealing with things that have gone wrong. The most surprising thing about Apollo 

11 was almost everything was going right.” As a contractor with TRW, Northcutt said, 

“All women at the time were swimming in the sea of sexism,” and while it still exists, “it’s 

“not as murky as it was then,” 

Being the only woman had some advantages, Northcutt admitted. 

“I got a lot of attention at the time, and even more attention now, 50 years later,” she 

said. 

Recently, Northcutt got a call from the Brazilian consulate in Houston, where 

she lives. She left TRW in 1984 to become an attorney and a civil rights advocate. 

During the Apollo missions, a little girl in Brazil was inspired by Northcutt and 

eventually grew up to become Dr. Rosaly M.C. Lopes, a senior research 

scientist at JPL and the editor-in-chief for the planetary science journal 

Icarus. 

As a pre-teen in Rio de Janeiro, “I grew up crazy about the Apollo 

program,” Lopes recalled. “Being Brazilian and a girl with terrible 

eyesight, I was not going to make it as an astronaut. Every time I saw 

anything about the Apollo program, it was all men.” 

Northcutt had helped to calculate the trajectory of the problem- 



THE NEXT GIANT LEAP 


plagued Apollo 13 mission. Lopes 

clipped small articles about her 

appearing in two Brazilian newspapers. 

“I became so inspired,” 

Lopes said. 

Although those articles have 

long been lost, and Lopes remembers 

them as being sexist, Lopes 

searched for Northcutt over the 

years because Northcutt was “like 

a beacon.” 

A casual conversation with a 

writer brought the two into contact 

and Northcutt will meet with 

Lopes this month at JPL. Northcutt 

noted one of the reasons she 

left TRW was budget cuts. The 

race to the moon was won, but 

society had changed. 

Part Three of “Chasing the 

Moon,” “Magnificent Desolation,” 

takes its title from Buzz Aldrin as 

both his description of the lunar 

surface and the title of his second 

autobiography. After Apollo 11, the astronauts were no longer heroes. During his 

public relations tours, Frank Borman (Apollo 8 and Gemini 7) recalled going to 

Cornell campus was “like going into an enemy camp.” Protests against Vietnam 

labeled [President] Nixon a war criminal, but there were also some questionable 

figures working at NASA such as ex-SS officer Wernher von Braun. 

While most of the action for Apollo 11 was away from the Pasadena area, JPL 

did have a role leading up to the Apollo program. JPL developed two robotic series 

of spacecraft: the Rangers and the Surveyors. The Rangers were like the safety 

crash test part of the moon landing program. The Rangers were meant to intentionally 

collide into the moon and provide images of the surface and the approaching 

impact. Ranger 7 was the first to work properly, hitting the moon on July 31, 1964. 

Two more would evemtually reach the moon. 

The seven robotic Surveyors were “soft landers” and the first vehicles to operate 

on the moon. They provided information about the strength and composition 

of the lunar surface (1966-68). Apollo 12 astronauts brought back Surveyor 3’s 

camera in 1969. The information from these two spacecraft series helped the Eagle 

land. Once the Eagle that landed on the moon returned to Earth, Caltech raced to 

analyze the lunar samples and answer questions about the moon’s composition for 

scientists and researchers around the world. 

JPL and Caltech will be hosting two free panels. JPL documentarian Blaine 

Baggett will speak on the Ranger and Surveyor missions, former JPL Chief Scientist 

Arden Albee will talk about lunar samples, and former JPL Chief Engineer 

John Casani will talk about JPL and Caltech’s role in supporting the lunar landing. 

Moderated by JPL Science Communications Specialist Preston Dyches, the free 

90-minute lectures, “Moon Struck! Celebrating Apollo’s 50th Anniversary,” are at 

7 p.m. Thursday, July 11 at The Von Kármán Auditorium at JPL (4800 Oak Grove 

Drive, Pasadena) and at 7 p.m. Friday, July 12, at Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium (1200 

E. California Blvd. Pasadena). No reservations or tickets are required. 

On Monday, July 15, the California Science Center will open a special giantscreen 

edition of Todd Douglas Miller’s “Apollo 11” documentary on the immersive 

7-story IMAX screen. The center will host a special day-long event on July 20, with 

exhibits of Gemini and Apollo space capsules, Apollo era space suits, a Ranger 

space craft and a lunar sample. JPL will be onsite with a custom portable planetarium, 

a special live, interactive and immersive presentation about space science 

complete with an expert to answer questions. For more information, visit CaliforniaScienceCenter.org. 

Now, as the 50th anniversary logo signifies by including the moon and Mars, 

NASA astronauts will return to the moon but in preparation for a trip to Mars. The 

first woman and the next man are scheduled to make a moon landing in 2024. JPL, 

with its Rover program, has already been paving the way and will be providing 

even more information about Mars with its Rover 2020. 

PBS’s “Nova” premieres a five-part series, “The Planets,” on July 24 (Check 

local listings). A press preview of its Mars episode included JPL’s Deputy Project 

Scientist Leslie Tamppari, MSL Project Scientist Ashwin R. Vasavada and John P. 

Grotzinger, Caltech’s Fletcher Jones Professor of Geology. 

By remembering the last Giant Leap, you can prepare for the Next Giant Leap 

from the moon to Mars and Pasadena will be an essential part of that exciting new 

chapter in space. ■

No Alcohol/ 

Major Cards Accepted 

It is incredible how cyclical life can be. Last June I wrote about the then 

newly opened Piencone Pizzeria in Eagle Rock, a spot I have revisited 

several times since, which has undergone its own evolution. Nearly a year 

later, the team behind Piencone and Four Cafe have furthered their conquest 

of the Eagle Rock stretch of Colorado Boulevard by opening up a third 

restaurant — Penny Oven. 

The through line at all of Chef Michelle Wilton’s Eagle Rock eateries 

is family. Four Cafe, the first-born of the trio and open since 2009, is a 

sandwich, burger and salad joint all based around organic and sustainable, 

locally grown ingredients. Essentially, it’s like a farmers’ market where one 

person took all the best ingredients from the stands and made a fast-casual 

menu from all of it. Tables are adorned with mason jars holding napkins, or 

serving as small buckets of silverware. 

Wilton’s middle child, Piencone, opened in 2018 and is the rebel of the trio. 

The pizza, pub, and ice cream shop was the anti-Shakey’s and a godsend to 

parents who missed eating at restaurants that didn’t use vinyl sheeting as 

tablecloths. With their elevated wood-fired pizzas and an entire dining room 

dedicated to families with a play area and ample room for movement for 

squirrely little ones to roam, families are able to enjoy a regular meal. 

Fulfilling the stereotype of the youngest child, Penny Oven takes the

THE EAGLE ROCK CONQUEST 


best features of the older siblings and some special 

qualities and melds them into a new persona. (Full 

disclosure: I am the youngest child in my family.) 

Penny Oven continues the same wood aesthetic 

as its elder siblings. From Four Cafe, Penny 

Oven takes on baked goods and breakfast. From 

Piencone, it carries over the wood-fired oven. But 

because it had to set itself apart from its elders 

Penny Oven could not just have a plain wood-fired 

oven. Taking it one level further, and true to its 

name, it is covered in thousands of real pennies. 

Perhaps as an homage to Piencone, Penny Oven also 

has a play area for little ones so that parents may 

enjoy their coffee while their children play in the 

small nook underneath the staircase. 

Penny Oven is building its own identity with 

breakfast, coffee and lunches. Keeping that home 

style feeling that sets Wilton’s family of restaurants 

apart, nearly everything on the menu is made inhouse, 

from all of the breads to the almond milk 

used in the coffee, it is all created right there. 

It is not a coffee and laptop, get-work-done cafe. 

Instead, it's more of a casual date cafe, or a spot for 

the couple in their mid-30s that reminisces about 

the days of bottomless mimosa brunches yet now 

have their toddlers in tow. 

Effortlessly simple, Penny Oven’s menu is broken 

down into the refreshingly noncomplex categories 

of toasts, sweets, plates, sides, and kids. There 

is also a bakery display case filled with an everchanging 

assortment of baked goods to ponder over 

and test your self-control as you wait in line. 

One highlight is the toast menu does not feature 

avocado toast or any variation of the millennial 

kryptonite. Rather, Penny Oven does some more 

adventurous takes on their homemade breads. The 

croque toast ($10) comes with mushrooms, spinach, 

caramelized leeks and bechamel sauce. 

The croissant sandwich ($8) takes the iconic 

donut store ham and cheese croissant flavors, 

sends them to charm school, and the result is Penny 

Oven’s croissant sandwich; a ham and gruyere 

omelet on their house croissant with a blood orange 

marmalade. The ham has a subtle spice, the eggs 

are rich and creamy, and the marmalade enhances 

the flavors perfectly. Despite my doubts about 

sometimes bitter blood orange, it works beautifully 

here. 

The kid’s menu at Penny Oven really stands out 

for the level of care and detail in the options and 

ingredients not oft seen. For one of the first times, I, 

a childless adult male, seriously considered ordering 

off of the kid’s menu. 

The pink dragon smoothie ($5) is a hot pink 

concoction of pitaya, spinach, blueberries, banana 

and apple juice and a super clever way to get your 

little one to consume vegetables. Even the minime 

pancakes ($5) are made with buckwheat, oats, 

bananas and spinach before they are topped with 

blueberries and maple syrup. 

For fear of heart palpitations I was not able to 

try every coffee on the menu, but since I went on 

one of our sweltering mornings I was able to try one 

of Penny Oven’s iced coffees. The hemp cacao iced 

coffee ($4.50) is made with the titular ingredients 

and flavored with coconut oil, vanilla and maple 

syrup, brought all together with their homemade 

almond milk. Simultaneously refreshing and 

caffeinated, it is one of my favorite coffee drinks 

offered in the area. The freshness of the almond 

milk is clear by the rich flavor and lack of fully 

machinated smoothness. 

Only open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, Penny 

Oven is perfectly poised for both the on-your-wayto-work 

pickup or the easy, breezy brunch. All 

of Wilton’s restaurants have held to a Matthew 

McConaughey level of effortlessly cool, relaxed 

dining, but Penny Oven really seals the deal on the 

natural and relaxed atmosphere. It’s summertime. 

Treat yourself to a visit for brunch or a light lunch 

and a crafted beverage. I promise you’ll catch those 

vacay vibes.

QUESTIONS 

WITHOUT 

ANSWERS 

NEW MOTHER PONDERS WHY HER 

OWN MOM COMMITTED SUICIDE 

Dear Patti, 

My mother committed suicide when I was 4 years old. My father did a 

wonderful job raising me on his own and I always had the support of all four of 

my grandparents. Since I was so young when she died, I have very little memory 

of my mom. I honestly didn’t have very strong feelings about her, until now. 

Five months ago I gave birth to a baby girl and to me she is the most precious 

little human being in the world. I’d always heard parents say that the love for a 

child is like no other, but it wasn’t until I had my daughter that I truly understood. 

Now that I’m a mother myself, I keep having all these thoughts about my own 

mother. How could she have left me? I can’t imagine leaving my child motherless, 

and especially never by choice. For the first time I wonder what my life would have 

been like if my mom had lived. If she really loved me and my father, how could she 

kill herself? Why would anyone want to commit suicide when they have people 

who love them and want to help them? 

Please, if you can shed some light on the subject, maybe I can better understand 

what my mom was thinking and finally move on. 

— Daisy 

Dear Daisy, 

Even though it was a long time ago, I’m very sorry about your loss and that you 

never got the chance to know your mother. Unfortunately, many loved ones struggling 

to find solace share your frustration of seeking answers to unanswerable questions. 

Each suicide or suicide attempt is complicated with individualized layers of issues. 

While you may never know what your mother was experiencing, I don’t believe that 

she wanted to leave you. She just didn’t know how to live with her emotional pain. 

When I work with patients and they talk about suicidal feelings, I’m fully aware 

that they could follow through with the self-destructive act of suicide. That doesn’t 

necessarily mean they actually want to take their physical life away. Rather, they 

want to put an end to the pain they feel. When someone is pushed to a breaking point 

with unbearable dark emotions, they may feel that suicide is the only way to stop their 

agony. 

Sometimes there does need to be a death for a rebirth to occur, but it doesn’t have 

to be a literal death. It’s the job of the therapist and the patient to work together to 

identify what has to change so that new life can occur and thoughts of suicide can 

cease. I look at suicidal ideation (thoughts/fantasies about suicide) as a wake-up call 

for change. If a patient believes there is no hope that is when they are most at risk. 

No baby is born wanting to harm itself. When someone considers suicide, it stems 

from trauma, abuse, mental illness, or a combination of these. If a patient describes 

a particularly violent means of committing suicide, it is termed “self-murder.” It 

reflects a homicidal rage that has built up within, is repressed, and becomes maladaptive 

against the self. At that point one may be so filled with despair and rage 

against themselves that they believe their loved ones are better off without them. It’s 

the task of therapy to help the patient experience this inner rage without becoming 

self-destructive. For example, if someone fantasizes about shooting herself, I can help 

her acknowledge who it is that she really wants to shoot, and process that rage in a 

healthy way. 

Much remains to be learned on the science of suicide and the influences of such 

factors as social and moral forces, genetics, substance abuse, depression, schizophrenia, 

and other personality disorders. In 2018 the World Health Organization reported 

that an estimated 1 million people worldwide die from suicide each year, that there 

is one death by suicide every 40 seconds, and they predict that by 2020 the rate will 

increase to one every 20 seconds. 

The late Dr. Edwin Shneidman, a renowned pioneer in the field of suicide who 

founded the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Center, once said, “I still believe it’s critical 

to look at personal stories, emotional circumstances, and private histories in the 

study of suicide, not just the biology and pharmacology of suicide and depression.” He 

further adds, “I believe that suffering is at the heart of every suicide. If I were to do it 

all over again, I would probably study love.” ■

DWAYNE COLBERT’S SKETCH 

COMEDY SHOW ‘SHADE’ TAKES 

A BITINGLY SATIRICAL LOOK 

AT RACE RELATIONS 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

The state of race relations in America is hardly a laughing 

matter under normal circumstances, with bitter 

divisiveness manifesting everywhere from the ugly 

white supremacist rallies of Charlottesville, Virginia to the 

contentious exchanges between presidential candidates Kamala 

Harris and Joe Biden at the recent Democratic debate. 

Nonetheless, Pasadena-based writer-actor Dwayne Colbert 

decided to take a stab at a satirical sketch show on the topic 

called “Shade,” and the hard work has paid off with critical 

acclaim and two extensive runs so far this year, including 

the current one at 10 p.m. Saturdays at the Second City 

theater in Hollywood.

RACE RIOT 


ethnically diverse cast of 12, with strong 

representation of all four major American 

ethnicities: Caucasian, African-American, 

Asian-American and Latino. Building off 

the intriguing question “What if you could 

be someone else, just for one day?” the 

original musical comedy (with songs by 

Hughie Stone Fish) sets the stage “for a doppelganger 

switcheroo that goes way, way 

beyond skin-deep differences.” 

“I had written a full-on musical comedy 

for Second City called ‘Afros and Ass 

Whoopins’ about police brutality,” says Colbert, 

who is African-American while Stone 

Fish is Caucasian. “That was so successful 

even LA Weekly and LA Magazine ran 

stories about it, and it got three extensions 

and ran for a year and a half. The Second 

City producers trusted me to not only teach 

there and coach house teams for sketch 

and improv, but asked me to create another 

show. 

“It took two years to write ‘Shade,’ 

because there was some pressure after ‘Afros’ 

to decide what else we wanted to talk 

about,” adds Colbert. “Everyone’s got hangups 

with race, and I always loved switcheroo 

comedies like ‘The Prince and the Pauper’ 

and ‘Freaky Friday.’ So I thought, ‘What 

if Rachel Dolezal got her wish to be black 

and Stacey Dash got her wish to be white? 

What if they got the other experience but 

the way that each race wanted them to experience 

the other, the harsh realities?’ The 

idea was to look at how life is as a white 

person but through black people’s eyes, and 

vice versa.” 

Colbert had previously teamed with 

Stone Fish on “Afros,” drawing the inspiration 

to work with the “Jewish guy from 

Syracuse” after learning that the classic 

race-related song “Strange Fruit” by Billie 

Holiday was “based on a poem by a Jewish 

school teacher.” Realizing that many 

Caucasians in America were involved in 

the struggle to improve race relations, he 

decided to partner with Stone Fish to gain a 

perspective from both of the major sides in 

the racial divide. 

On both “Afros” and “Shade” the duo 

worked at first from an outline rather 

than a finished script, with key emotional 

moments driving the narrative despite the 

majority of each show being bold satire. 

Before writing the songs for “Afros,” Stone 

FIsh did a lot of research to understand the 

mindsets of both police officers and black 

families who had negative experiences 

with them, by interviewing both sides. With 

“Shade,” he interviewed members of all the 

races portrayed. 

“Once we have a great script and songs, 

the other major thing is picking a cast of actors 

who can come in and work magic on the 

fly,” says Colbert, referring to the fact that a 

much larger ensemble of actors rotate turns 

in the show’s roles. “Their professionalism to 

come in and pick it up off a recording of the 

show 24 hours before they hit stage for the 

first time is incredible. 

“It’s not normal to switch so often, but 

we’re running in the summer when people 

are doing more things all over in their lives,” 

he adds. “We go for singing ability first on 

‘Shade,’ and then acting is secondary. With 

‘Afros,’ it was the opposite.” 

Colbert graduated from UC Davis — 

“Surprisingly with a math degree, considering 

I’m a writer and director now” — after 

growing up in South Central Los Angeles 

throughout his childhood. He first experienced 

Pasadena at 18, when his parents 

reunited after a six-year separation and 

moved to the Crown City together. 

“My parents lived there a long time until 

they retired and moved away to the South,” 

says Colbert, who also has a created a 

digital video series called “Brainwashed By 

Toons” that is about to debut on the Funny 

Or Die website. “I’m married, have my kids, 

and I just love the area. All my friends I live 

and work with in Hollywood are fascinated 

I live there. But to me it’s a normal drive of 

20 minutes away, and no skyscrapers, so it 

feels like a college town, I love it. I take my 

little boys around in Radio Flyer wagons to 

coffee shops.” n 

“Shade” runs at 10 p.m. Saturdays through Aug. 17 at 

Second City Hollywood, 6560 Hollywood Blvd., Los 

Angeles. Tickets are $12. Call (323) 464-8542 or visit

JOSHUA TREE FAVORITE GENE EVARO JR. BRINGS HIS 

FUNKY SOUL TO ONE COLORADO WEDNESDAY 

Back in the ’90s, when “da 

Soup” was bubbling warmly 

through live music venues in 

Old Town and greater Pasadena, 

Gene Evaro Jr. would have fit right 

in. 

A scion of the sprawling, multigenerational 

Evaro clan of musicians 

and singers renowned in the 

Joshua Tree-Palm Springs desert 

region, Evaro Jr. resides in JT and 

projects that creative community’s 

tribal vibe of funky love vibrations 

and good times. His immediate 

musical family includes sisters 

Gabrielle and Shavaughn, who performed 

with him in popular family 

band Evaro (whose self-titled 2010 

album closed with a hummed and 

strummed “Ode to Natalie,” for a 

sister who had died), and who have 

also backed him in his Gene Evaro 

Jr. & the Family lineup. Their father, 

Gene Evaro Sr., a lifelong musician 

and producer, toured with the likes 

of the Temptations and Ike & Tina 

Turner. 

Evaro Jr. comes across as a 

bohemian free spirit, but behind 

that everybody-come-together 

persona lie solid chops; he’s been 

playing keyboards, composing and 

programming since childhood, and 

his extended guitar solos nod to 

influences like Prince and Derek 

Trucks. A favorite at the annual 

Joshua Tree music festival, he’s a 

smooth showman onstage, encouraging 

audiences to sing along and 

dance to lighthearted jams like 

“Charlie Moan,” “California is Burning,” 

“Hustlin’,” “Love Awakening,” 

and “Soul (How I Keep Movin On),” 

whose silky harmonies and sensual 

grooves suggest Marvin Gaye after 

40 days in the desert. Songs like 

recent single “Loving You” (a showcase 

for him and bassist gal pal Piper 

Robison) and “Smile” stick with 

standard R&B romance (“Go ahead 

and smile, girl, it looks good on 

you”). “We Don’t Need to Be Sold” 

blends a reggae-kissed message of 

unity and protest with family faith 

and stinging leads before torquing 

into a serious guitar-horn jam: 

“We don’t need to be high 

We don’t need to sold 

We don’t need to be saved 

We don’t need to be told 

We just wander around with our 

God-given love” 

He celebrated his birthday with 

a show at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown 

last week before playing 

the super groove High Sierra Music 

Festival on the Fourth, and he’s hitting 

the road later this month with 

his band for a string of summer 

tour dates through the West. First, 

though, he’s warming up with a duo 

or trio in One Colorado’s courtyard 

Wednesday night. n 

Wine Wednesday hosts Gene Evaro Jr. 

at One Colorado, 41 Hugus Alley, Old 

Pasadena, 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July

TAKE ON DIVERGENT GENRES 

TAKE A LITTLE COUNTRY, THEN ADD A DASH OF SOUL AND YOU HAVE MIKE 

MANN & COWBOY SOUL, PERFORMING SUNDAY AT THE ROSE. 

Mann, lead vocalist, guitarist, harmonica player and songwriter, launched the group 

as Mike Mann & The Nightriders. The native of the Mississippi River city of Clinton, 

Iowa, now based in LA is one of the rare examples of a black cowboy music act. After 

changing the name to Mike Mann & Country Soul, the band picked up steam. 

Early in life, he developed a love for harmonica and guitar, and also worked for some 

years as a radio personality at various places around the country. He learned about the 

cowboy connection to the black community after reading the book, “The Black West” 

by William Katz. 

The band offers an innovative take on the divergent genres and makes it work.

River (BMG): HHH 

Devon Allman, Duane Betts and Berry Oakley Jr. 

proudly recall their fathers’ blues-soul-rock style, if 

not the Allman Brothers Band’s exploratory verve. 

Rocker “All Night” and an emotive cover of Tom 

Petty’s “Southern Accents” claim their generation 

and roots-spanning heritage. Compositionally it’s 

more reassuring than challenging; fans may hunger 

for more of Johnny Stachela’s slide or the doubleguitar 

spark of “Shinin’,” or jams like the “Melissa”- 

evoking one stretching Charles Williams’ “Autumn 

Breeze” well past eight minutes. Allman’s throaty 

baritone contrasts strikingly with Betts’ reedier 

vocals and they play with familiar warmth, like a

THE OCEAN BLUE, Kings and Queens/ 

Knaves and Thieves (Korda): HHHH 

Cue up these Pennsylvania veterans if you’re 

jonesing for a smart dream-pop fix. “All the Way 

Blue” and the thrumming “Paraguay My Love” 

sound as hopeful as “Sublime” from 1992’s 

“Beneath the Rhythm and Sound” or 1996’s 

transporting “See.” A hooky guitar riff and pulsing 

synth buoy the dark title track (“I feel like the world 

could end/ In a flash/ No more to depend on the 

things I thought were to last”), while frontman 

David Schelzel’s rueful wit surfaces during “Therein 

Lies the Problem With My Life.” RIYL the Smiths, 

War on Drugs. theoceanblue.com 

CHARLIE CHAPLIN, Film Music Anthology 

(PIAS): HHHH 

Sixty-seven tracks of music from silent film icon 

Charlie Chaplin’s decades-spanning oeuvre. 

A handful feature vocals, including still-timely 

speeches from 1940’s anti-fascist “Great Dictator” 

and 1947’s “Monsieur Verdoux.” But the music’s 

winsome escapism charms unadorned; listen to 

the romantic clarinet and violin solos composed 

by Chaplin for 1931’s “City Lights”; the horn- and 

string-stoked exuberance of “Jazz” from 1919’s 

“A Day’s Pleasure”; the pop-parodying “Mandolin 

Serenade” from 1957’s “A King in New York”; and 

the dramatic orchestration of “Smile” from 1936’s 

“Modern Times.” It sparkles most when, like 

Chaplin’s expressive Tramp, it’s free from words.

Rawls (no relation to Lou Rawls) came from Mississippi, the home of hurts-so-good music. After gaining a love for the music 

as a child by listening to his grandfather play, he began performing professionally while still in high school. He soon graduated 

into playing with stars, including Joe Tex and the Sweet Inspirations. 

Honing his skills, Rawls became band director for O.V. Wright, then led Little Johnny Taylor’s band, finally going solo in 1985. 

Rawls has produced, written, served as horn arranger, guitarist and keyboardist for a variety of artists. He’s performed at

MUSE/IQUE KICKS OFF ITS SUMMER SEASON SATURDAY WITH MOVIE TRIBUTE 

SHOW ‘MOVING/PICTURES’ 

There are plenty of great traditions in 

every SoCal summer, from cookouts 

and beach trips to Dodger games and 

concerts. But Pasadena has its own 

sources of musical magic, including 

MUSE/IQUE, an orchestra which combines 

classical music with jazz, pop 

and an assortment of dance troupes 

each year for an exciting three-show 

season of fun. 

This year’s theme for the series 

— held at the Huntington Library, Art 

Collections and Botanical Gardens — 

is “Music in Motion,” and it kicks off 

Saturday with a show titled “Moving/ 

Pictures.” 

Playing off the idea that “a ticket to 

the movies has always been a ticket to 

our wildest dreams,” the show features 

some of the most popular tunes from 

classic movies and also boasts a 

performance by three-time Tony Award 

nominee Joshua Henry. 

“We were inspired largely by The 

Huntington, because when I walk 

among their world famous plantings and 

paintings, I am struck by the fact that 

these fixed objects, lovingly preserved, 

move people on a global scale and their 

inspiration will surely transform hearts 

not yet born,” says MUSE/IQUE founder 

and conductor Rachael Worby. “I think 


of The Huntington as a place that spins 

the globe, and I think of music the same 

way. 

“We begin the series with this 

exploration of the art of the film score 

as an interplay between music, motion, 

character and ideas,” she adds. “But 

we also go beyond the film score to 

examine all sorts of images that move 

us, and we imagine together the music 

that comes to mind when we encounter 

beautiful imagery. Because it is the 

weekend of Independence Day, we will 

be paying particular homage to the moving 

images and music that underpin the 

American Spirit.” 

One major element of Saturday’s 

show will be “the art of John Williams.” 

The famed composer has 51 Oscar 

nominations and his score for “Star 

Wars” was named by the American Film 

Institute as the greatest American film 

score of all time, but Worby is keeping 

things interesting by spotlighting some 

of his lesser-known but still compelling 

works. 

“Any program focused on the 

way music and images work together 

must include the original genius of the 

genre,” says Worby. “In so many ways, 

Williams invented the way our imagination 

works today. We will be playing 

scores not frequently featured in John 

Williams tribute evenings, such as his 

scores for “Lincoln” and “Memoirs of a 

Geisha.” We’re interested in illuminating 

the way he builds characters 

through music. 

“We will also be performing songs 

that define certain eras and feelings 

within America, and yet seem to have 

the timeless ability to move us forward,” 

adds Worby. “These include ‘Soliloquy’ 

from ‘Carousel,’ Gershwin’s ‘Summertime,’ 

and the Louis Armstrong standby 

‘What a Wonderful World.’” 

The next show of the season is 

“Train/Glory” (which pays tribute to 

trains from the Transcontinental Railroad 

to toy trains) on Aug. 3, with guest 

soprano Liv Redpath and the dance 

troupe Body Traffic. The third and 

final show is “Band/Together,” which 

features the American Ballet Theatre 

and the “daring piano duo” Anderson 

and Roe to pay homage to the idea that 

music can move people together in a 

way that creates a divine outcome. n 

MUSE/IQUE performs “Moving/Pictures” at 8 

p.m. Saturday at the Huntington Library, Art 

Collections and Botanical Gardens, 1151 Oxford 

Road, San Marino. Tickets are $50 to $130. Call

Making Dreams Happen 

‘WILD ROSE’ IS A STORY OF REDEMPTION, 

FAMILY AND THE ABILITY TO CHANGE 

Jessie Buckley and Sophie Okonedo in “Wild Rose“ 

With the Fourth of July being celebrated this 

week, what better time than to think about 

the American Dream? The idea of pursuing 

life, liberty and happiness enshrined in the Declaration 

of Independence itself, along with the idea that you can 

make any dream happen if you just work hard enough. 

In the new movie “Wild Rose,” a young and wild 

single mother of two named Rose-Lynn dreams of 

being a country singer. But she’s got a few obstacles in 

the way, including the fact that she lives in Glasgow, 

Scotland, and is fresh out of a year-long prison stint for 

distributing heroin. Now wearing an electronic ankle 

bracelet, she is required to be home every night from 7 

p.m. to 7 a.m. 

Rose-Lynn is the kind of free-wheeling gal who yells 

the F word at the top of her lungs the second she’s free 

from her jail cell and heads to her boy toy for a shag 

before bothering to make it home to her young son and 

daughter. Add a stop at the pub where she gets buzzed 

on whiskey on the way home, and it’s no wonder her 

mom isn’t too happy to see her return after a year of 

raising her kids. 

With her children distant from her and a seemingly 

dead-end job as a housemaid to a wealthy family that 

pays her just about $12 an hour, Rose-Lynn feels like 

she’ll never pull together the money to escape to Nashville 

and take a real swing at success. But when the 

children of her employer Susannah come home early 

and catch her belting out a song while vacuuming, Susannah 

asks her if she’s tried to make it professionally. 

Rose-Lynn responds by immediately asking for 

$5,000 to make a fresh start in Nashville, but Susannah 

tells her to instead tape a video demo of herself singing 

and send it to the top country music deejay on the BBC 

radio airwaves. When Rose-Lynn knocks his socks off 

with a beautifully heartfelt ballad, she gets an invitation 

to come meet him in London and her dreams seem 

suddenly tangible. 

Yet questions remain: Is she really talented enough 

to make it, or is she jeopardizing her family by seeking 

to spend time away from them? How will she resolve 

things with her mother, who thinks she’s delusional? 

And can she really ever put her wild past behind her? 

“Wild Rose” is a quiet film, in spite of its occasionally 

rousing tunes sung by lead actress Jessie Buckley, an 

Irishwoman who broke out on a British talent competition 

series and has been a rising star ever since. 

Rose-Lynn is a fascinating character, a real hell raiser 

in the early scenes of the film, but eventually revealing 

a profound loneliness and desire to finally do better as a 

mother, a daughter and for herself. 

Buckley has incredible vocals, but in keeping with 

the movie’s intimate and quiet tone, her most powerful 

moments are in the songs where she sings almost in a 

whisper. It’s a magical effect that will make those who 

see this movie fall in love with her immediately. 

As her mother, veteran actress Julie Walters (who 

was Oscar-nominated in the 1980s for “Educating 

Rita”) looks and acts like Emma Thompson. It’s a solid 

performance of a woman who has been ground down 

and exasperated by her daughter’s poor behavior and 

incredibly bad choices for so long, she wonders if she’ll 

ever truly turn it around. 

Those aspects — of redemption and family, trust 

and the desire to change — are universally relatable 

issues. They make this movie very affecting, but the 

occasionally too-slow pace keeps this from being a 

perfect movie. If you love good music or characterbased 

drama, however, “Wild Rose” should smell quite 

sweet. n

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you 

are considering bidding on this property 

lien, you should understand that there are 

risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 

You will be bidding on a lien, not on 

the property itself. Placing the highest bid 

at a trustee auction does not automatically 

entitle you to free and clear ownership of the 

property. You should also be aware that the 

lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. 

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, 

you are or may be responsible for paying off 

all liens senior to the lien being auctioned 

off, before you can receive clear title to the 

property. You are encouraged to investigate 

the existence, priority, and size of outstanding 

liens that may exist on this property by 

contacting the county recorder’s office or 

a title insurance company, either of which 

may charge you a fee for this information. 

If you consult either of these resources, you 

should be aware that the same lender may 

hold more than one mortgage or deed of 

trust on the property. NOTICE TO 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, (800) 758-8052 for information 

regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this 

Internet Web site, www.homesearch.com, 

for information regarding the sale of this 

property, using the file number assigned 

to this case, T.S.# 9948-5158. 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. If the Trustee is unable to 

convey title for any reason, the successful 

bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be 

the return of monies paid to the Trustee and 

the successful bidder shall have no further 

recourse. Affinia Default Services, LLC 301
