SOUNDING THE ALARM
ALEX HERNANDEZ AND CHANTELLE HERSHBERGER GO ON TRIAL IN WHAT THEY VIEW AS A FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM
Donald Trump, the candidate
who called Mexican immigrants
“rapists” on the campaign trail,
is now the leader of a regime
running concentration camps at
the border. This past weekend,
ICE agents were to conduct
raids in nine cities, including Los
Angeles, making good on Trump’s
threat to detain and deport
millions of immigrants.
The vicious attack on
immigrants is the spearhead of
a larger fascist program by the
Trump/Pence regime to radically
remake society: civil liberties are
stripped away and group after
group is demonized on a road that
leads to unspeakable horrors.
Millions of people want this
to stop. But stopping Trump
and Pence will take more than
wishing something would change,
or voicing our outrage on social
media. People will have to step
outside of their comfort zones.
They will have to put something
on the line.
Alex Hernandez and Chantelle
Hershberger are two people who
did just that. On two separate
mornings in 2017, they stepped
out onto the 101 Freeway, holding
signs and blocking traffic to
inspire people to take to the
streets in nonviolent protest
against the Trump/Pence regime.
Chantelle moved to Los
Angeles from Ohio just before
Trump’s election. It bothered
her that after each outrage and
protest, people just seemed to
go home and normalize what the
regime was doing. When asked
about why she joined the freeway
action, she said, “It’s one thing to
talk about how wrong it is that a
white supremacist is in the White
House, and to even recognize
the danger that ensues when you
have the president backing these
angry mobs of white supremacist
militias. But it’s another thing
when you understand that this
is vital to consolidating fascism.
You need to incite fear among the
masses. So then I had to decide.
What was I going to do about it?”
Alex grew up in South Central
Los Angeles and saw firsthand the
widespread violence of the police
against black and brown people.
After Trump’s election, he saw
the extreme danger of a fascist
regime at the helm of the most
powerful country and military
in the world. He took part in the
freeway action because of what
was going on in society at the
time. “A year and a half ago, think
of what the Trump/Pence regime
was doing... threatening North
Korea with nuclear war, banning
Muslims, restricting trans people
from the military. We did this to
sound the alarm against fascism.
Those were not normal times. And
now, look at all the children in
concentration camps, and lawyers
for the Justice Department saying
that migrant children don’t need
toothbrushes, beds, anything
sanitary... All these things have
consequences. This is the logic
that leads to genocide.”
Last month, prosecutors
lost their case against Alex and
Chantelle when the trial ended in
a hung jury. They tried to frame
their case as a simple traffic
violation, despite the fact that
the charges were brought by the
highly political Major Crimes/Anti-
Terrorist Division of the LAPD, a
division with a sordid history of
spying on activist groups.
Alex and Chantelle spoke in
court about why they risked their
lives to block the freeway, and
moved several jurors to refuse to
convict. But immediately after
a mistrial was announced, the
Chantelle and Alex fl ank Damon Alimouri,
one of their defense attorneys, in
front of the Metro Court in downtown LA.
prosecution vowed to retry the
case. By doing this, they join
nationwide efforts to criminalize
protest in the wake of Trump’s
election and become enforcers of
the fascist suppression of dissent.
Through aggressive policing and
prosecution, and anti-protest
bills either passed or proposed in
35 states, a fundamental right is
under serious threat. We should
never forget Trump’s statement
from the campaign trail that
he longed for the days when
protesters were carried out on
stretchers.
These courageous activists
stood up against a fascist
regime before many people
recognized that it was fascism.
Videos of the freeway actions
went viral, showing millions of
people the kind of resistance
that was needed. Supporting
Alex and Chantelle and the
rest of the freeway protesters,
calling the City Attorney Mike
Feuer’s office and signing
this petition to demand that
they drop the charges, and
filling the courtroom when
their trial starts on July 25,
goes a long way in refusing
to accept a fascist America.
Many supporters of Alex and
Chantelle have chosen to stand
on the right side of history. We
invite you to join us. ■

THE RACE TO SPACE
THE APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING WAS A VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
This is the week that we celebrate the first human landing on the moon. Credit will
be taken by many different interests for their role in this great human achievement.
Curiously, the Apollo moon landing of a half-century ago has great relevance to
today’s hotly contested Democratic primary race. NASA’s landing on the moon
was a demonstration of successful application of Democratic Socialism — a much
discussed matter in Democratic circles these days.
Curiously, this democratic socialist concept of NASA had its origins under
Republican President Dwight Eisenhower.
The 1950s were a period of vast global expansion by the United States — the only
World War II power left unscathed by the fighting. After the war we captured the
majority of the Nazi rocket scientists, including Wernher von Braun who oversaw
the development and manufacture of the infamous V-2 rockets at Peenemunde, the
secret Nazi rocket-testing site. There von Braun supervised concentration camp
prisoners who produced the rockets that flew across the English Channel to attack
our British allies.
Von Braun’s team of German rocket scientists were brought to the US and
re-established at a secret Army base near Huntsville, Alabama. Concurrently, the
Soviet Union, our World War II ally, developed its own atomic and thermonuclear
weapons. The arms race was on.
Military thinking at the time held that new delivery systems had to be developed
to deliver nuclear weapons. World War II’s Army Air Corps, re-constituted as
the US Air Force, first developed the B-36, then the B-47, and finally the B-52
intercontinental bombers as nuclear weapon delivery systems. The ultimate goal
was to deliver the weapons by ballistic missiles from North America to potential
adversaries in Europe and Asia, in particular the Soviet Union and the Peoples
Republic of China.
The task of developing effective intercontinental ballistic missile delivery
systems was pursued competitively between the US Air Force with its Navaho
rocket, the Navy with its Vanguard, and the Army with its Redstone missile system.
Each agency attempted to launch an Earth-orbiting satellite — a clear indication of
ballistic launch capability. Each military branch failed repeatedly. The competitive
approach failed.
In 1956, the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik — the first Earthorbiting
spacecraft. A short week later they successfully launched Sputnik II, which
carried Laika, a dog, thereby demonstrating the successful creation of habitability
in space.
President Eisenhower recognized that the three competing military branches
had failed in launching an Earth-orbiting spacecraft. He then led the development
of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). A democratically
elected Congress passed the legislation. The taxpayers made a social investment
of capital to carry out a national objective, making NASA a Democratic Socialist
success.
After NASA’s establishment, the Soviet Union continued to have leadership in the
space race but NASA was slowly gaining.
The Cuban missile crisis of 1962 brought the world close to nuclear disaster.
Earth teetered on the brink of nuclear war. In the end, the USSR agreed to withdraw
its short-range missiles from Cuba. Shortly thereafter, US missiles threatening the
Soviet Union were withdrawn from our NATO ally Turkey. The nuclear superpowers
had stepped back from the brink, but the danger of nuclear brinkmanship remained.
To reorient the dangerous competition for nuclear weapon superiority, President
Kennedy proposed a national goal of landing humans on the moon. Although the
Soviet Union never formally accepted the competition, it carried out a competitive
lunar effort.
Kennedy entrusted the Apollo program to NASA, the same democratic socialist
enterprise that had orbited Explorer I, America’s first Earth-orbiting spacecraft,
which was developed at Pasadena’s NASA facility, Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Fifty years ago this week we celebrate the Apollo 11 spacecraft landing on the
moon and returning to Earth. Let’s also remember this week that Wall Street did
not put humans on the moon. That was accomplished by a democratic socialist
endeavor called NASA, which was established under a Republican president. ■

US Rep. Judy Chu (D-Pasadena) has been a San Gabriel Valley
political leader since the mid-1980s.
In 1985, Chu was elected to the Garvey School District
Board of Education. From there, she won a seat on the Monterey
Park City Council, where she served as mayor three times.
By the turn of the century, Chu entered state politics, winning
a seat in the state Assembly in 2001.
After terming out of that office, with her husband Mike Eng,
who had taken over his wife’s seat on the Monterey Park City
Council and then won her Assembly seat, Chu was elected to the
State Board of Equalization in 2006.
In 2009, the former junior college psychology professor
became the first Chinese-American woman elected to Congress
when she won the special election that year for the then-32nd
Congressional District after then-Congresswoman and now-LA
County Supervisor Hilda Solis was appointed Secretary of Labor
by President Barack Obama.
In a packed field, Chu finished first with 32 percent of the vote,
easily defeating Republican rival Betty Chu in the runoff election,
capturing 62 percent of the vote in that race.
Since then, Chu has won re-election five times with at least
60 percent of the vote in four of those contests. Three of those
victories have come against perennial Republican candidate Jack
Orswell.

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
Since 2012, Chu has been representing Pasadena and the West
San Gabriel Valley that with redistricting that year became the
27th District.
Currently, the 66-year-old lawmaker serves on the powerful House
Ways and Means Committee, which has filed a lawsuit to obtain
President Trump’s long-sought tax documents. The Ways and Means
Committee also has jurisdiction over legislation pertaining to Social
Security and Medicare.
On that committee, Chu is a member of its subcommittees on
Health and Human Resources, Worker and Family Support, and
Oversight, giving her responsibility for issues related to health care
reform and safety net programs.
In April, Chu and Republican Congressman Devin Nunes
(R-Fresno) teamed up on a rare piece of bipartisan legislation: the
Sunshine for Samples Act.
This bill would amend the Sunshine Act to require drug
manufacturers to publicly make available the number and value
of free drug samples given to health care providers and charities
annually.
Chu also serves on the House Small Business Committee, which
has oversight of the Small Business Administration, and is the chair of
the Subcommittee on Investigations, Oversight and Regulations.
She has also worked to bring two full-service small business

PROMISES AND
PURPOSE
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL
FRONTRUNNER JOE BIDEN TO
VISIT PASADENA FRIDAY
Pasadena City Councilman
John Kennedy, in what he
is calling an effort to bring
“prepared, competent,
relevant and sane leadership
to the White House,”
will welcome Democratic
presidential frontrunner
Joe Biden to his home
Joe Biden
on Friday, July 19, for a
lunchtime fundraiser.
“I have known Joe Biden for over 30 years,”
said Kennedy, who represents Pasadena’s
District 3. “So it is with an abundance of history
and respect … as well as personal affection that
I am hosting Vice President Biden at an intimate
lunch gathering.”
Biden is currently the frontrunner in the
crowded field of Democratic candidates. His
poll numbers have taken a hit in the weeks since
fellow candidate and California Sen. Kamala
Harris criticized his opposition to 1970s-era
school busing policies as a US senator and
his comments on working with segregationist
senate colleagues, for which he subsequently
apologized.
Those expected to attend the event at Kennedy’s
home include his sister Lena L. Kennedy
and District 6 City Councilman Steve Madison.
On June 29, Harris spoke at a private fundraiser
at the West Pasadena home of Tamerlin
Godley, who is running for Madison’s District 6
council seat.
Biden’s visit to Pasadena follows those of
several other Democratic presidential candidates
in recent weeks. On May 30, New York Sen.
Kirsten Gillibrand spoke at the Women’s City
Club of Pasadena. On May 31, Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders held a political rally at the Pasadena
Convention Center and he, Harris, former Housing
and Urban Development Secretary Julián
Castro and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee participated
in the first presidential forum focused on
immigration at the Pasadena Hilton.
Fellow presidential candidate Mayor Pete
Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana is also reportedly
finalizing plans to stump in Pasadena.
Candidates are making sure to show up
in California because the state has moved its
primary election date up from June to March
3, also known as Super Tuesday. The earlier
date — after only Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada
and South Carolina — will ensure that California
voters and the state’s nearly 500 delegates
play a decisive role in determining the eventual
nominee.

POLICE ARREST FIVE IN CONNECTION
WITH ALLEGED SCHEME TO STEAL
ELDERLY CANCER PATIENT’S MONEY
AFTER GETTING HIM DRUNK
BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
Victor Cass
Pasadena police have arrested five people on suspicion of
stealing $24,000 from a recovering alcoholic and cancer patient after allegedly getting
him intoxicated.
Carolyn Shields, 61, was arrested on July 10 at her East Holly Street apartment in
Pasadena after police officers serving a search warrant found evidence allegedly linking
her to fraudulent online purchases made with the victim’s credit card. Shields was
being held on $50,000 bail, according to police spokesman Lt. Jason Clawson.
Arrested June 26 on suspicion of elder financial abuse and grand theft were Billy
Burton, 63, Griselda “Gracie” Patterson, 48, and her daughter Adriana Patterson, 22,
all of Los Angeles. Antwan Havard, 25 and also of Los Angeles, was also arrested on
suspicion of elder financial abuse and grand theft.
The group allegedly stole more than $24,000 from a 73-year-old victim over a more
than three-month period. The victim’s name was being withheld by police.
Authorities say the group also unsuccessfully attempted to bilk the unidentified
man out of an additional $54,000.
“The Pasadena Police Department takes seriously any and all allegations of elder
financial abuse,” said Detective Victor Cass in a prepared statement. Cass led the
investigation and the arrest of the five suspects.
“These kinds of crimes target our community’s most trusting and vulnerable
senior population,” Cass said.
Burton and the elder Patterson remain in custody in Los Angeles County Jail on
$70,000 and $50,000 bail, respectively. Adriana Patterson and Havard have posted
bail. Those four individuals are due in Pasadena Superior Court on Aug. 8. A court date
for Shields was not immediately available.
Police say Burton, Havard and the Pattersons would consume alcohol with the
victim until he was intoxicated. The suspects would then walk him into his banks and
convince tellers to remove large amounts of cash or issue cashier’s checks on his
behalf. They then allegedly used the victim’s credit card to make online purchases and
rent motel rooms.
The suspects were arrested after Cass received a call from the Pasadena Federal
Credit Union, where the transactions occurred.
After reviewing surveillance video, online purchase receipts, bank records and interviewing
witnesses, Cass notified the credit union to contact him when the suspects
returned.
According to police, all but Shields have confessed. n
‘VULNERABLE TO
EVICTION’
CITY ANNOUNCES MODIFICATIONS TO
TENANT PROTECTION ORDINANCE
BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
Modifications to the city’s tenant protection ordinance
(TPO), designed to provide greater protections for local
renters facing eviction, went into effect late last week,
according to a statement issued by city officials.
The ordinance, which was adopted in 2004 and amended in 2017, requires
landlords to provide relocation benefits to qualified tenants facing eviction.
“This is important to those Pasadena renters who are feeling vulnerable to
William Huang
eviction,” said city Housing Director William Huang. “It doesn’t necessarily keep folks
in their apartments, but it provides those who are eligible a reasonable relocation
payment.”
Under the modifications, the ordinance now covers tenants if they are evicted 18
months after the property changes owners.
Pasadena rents are among the highest in the state, with some one-bedroom
apartments renting at nearly $3,000 a month.
State laws allow landlords to raise rents as much as they want. In some situations,
landlords have raised the rent by hundreds of dollars. Local housing advocates,
including the Pasadena Tenant Justice Coalition, have been pushing for rent control,
but so far the City Council has had no public discussions on the issue.
The ordinance also requires landlords to pay relocation benefits to displaced
tenants if the building is demolished, converted to condominiums, or permanently
removed from the rental market.
Tenants evicted so landlords or their family members can take occupancy of the
unit are also eligible for relocation fees, as are tenants forced to move under orders
by the government to vacate and tenants evicted from housing owned by educational
institutions under certain situations.
Multifamily rental properties with two or more units on a single parcel are subject
to the ordinance. Single-family homes and condominium units are exempt.
To be eligible for relocation benefits, tenants must be in good standing, with
incomes not exceeding 140 percent of the Los Angeles County area median
income. n

Pasadena City College and the other at the University
of Laverne. She reintroduced House Resolution 448, the
Women’s Health Protection Act, which would protect a
woman’s right to safe and legal abortion.
Most recently she inspected conditions at migrant
camps located in Texas along the border with Mexico.
“We saw children locked up behind steel doors,” Chu
said. “There was a toddler that looked miserable. When
we waved to him he pressed his face against the door,
hoping to get out. It broke my heart.”
Pasadena Weekly recently caught up with Chu,
who spoke about conditions in those camps, and other
issues facing the nation.
PW: You just visited the migrant detention centers
in Texas. What did you see there?
Chu: I was appalled and disgusted. It was a
congressional delegation. We went to El Paso and
we talked to a group of women in cinder block cells
who immediately had tears streaming down their
faces. They were miserable and had no idea when
they were getting out. They have been separated from
their children. One woman had epilepsy. There is no
running water, and some of them had been asking for
medication. There is no running water, and they were
told to drink out of the toilet bowl.
Then we went to the Clint Border Patrol Station,
where they house the unaccompanied minors. There
were 106 kids there. At one point 700 kids were there.
There is also a warehouse where there were 100 to
200 kids at one time. Imagine a giant steel garden shed
that has no air conditioning, in an area where it’s is
over 100 degrees. We could only be in there for a short
period of time.
What can be done about this?
A judge dictates what should go on in this facility.
He has ordered they come up with a solution. I am
pressing on with demands for change. I did not vote
for the bill that passed. I have great concerns about
accountability. The second version did not have
standard of care that was in the first version; it didn’t
include anything about hygiene and nutrition, It
should have a provision that money should only go to
the intended target and a 90-day limit for the minors
to remain in these places. Congressmen should be
able to go in unannounced, so the centers cannot be
sterilized. They tried to do that with us.
Where do you stand on impeachment?
I believe the president committed impeachable
actions. I want to make sure the American public is with
us on this. If we start the process, then all of America
will be focused on it. What America needs to know is the
ultimate goal cannot be accomplished with Republicans
in charge. Unless there was enough pressure on
Republicans we could have a frustrated public and a
president who claims he has triumphed. I think Mueller’s
testimony will be very, very important. For the people to
hear from him, even if it’s just his account of what’s in the
report, that is very, very valuable.
What are your thoughts on the first two debates?
The debates were fascinating. I would say in the first

debates Elizabeth Warren and Julian Castro stood out,
and in the second one Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg
stood out.
Is the country ready for a woman president?
Why not? I think we have many excellent qualified
candidates.
How much damage would a citizenship question
on the census do? (Editor’s note: The president
dropped his effort to get the question on the census
and has now ordered all federal agencies to
compile information on illegal immigrants living
in the country.)
I think they have already done damage because
they have put this issue out there. Some people may
think this question is on the census, even if it’s not,
and avoid the census. Pasadena is in serious danger
of an under count. We have to make sure there is a
complete count. That is very important.
How important is the health care issue?
This is the number one issue for Americans.
We have worked overtime to make our health
care system affordable and to make sure it is for
everybody. We should move closer to a universal
system. I have cosponsored Medicare for all.
I’m for a public option that could compete with
private plans. People would flock to it. I am a huge
proponent of lowering prescription drug prices. A
month’s supply of insulin in my district costs $665.
Yet, in Australia, it’s $28. Why is it if you cross
the border it is one-tenth of the cost? Countless
constituents are considering going to Canada and
Mexico for medicine. It’s outrageous that Americans
are in this position. I co-authored a Ways and
Means bill, Sunshine for Samples, to address this
issue and to put transparency on the costs of drug
samples. Companies spend more on drug samples
and commercials than they do on research and
development. Samples of oxycontin may have led to
the opioid crisis.
Are we headed for another war in the Middle East?
I am very worried and concerned the president
will drag us into another war. He got us out of the
nuclear deal and now Iran is building up its arsenal.
It’s a very troubling situation. I am opposed to him
using the 2001 authorization (for use of military
force) as his excuse to go to war. Every president
has to have approval by Congress. He has to have a
new authorization by Congress.
Is there anything you want to say to your
Pasadena constituents?
I have been fighting to get a veterans health care
clinic in the San Gabriel Valley for seven years.
Finally we got one opened on May 20, in Arcadia.
Previously vets had to take long trips to Los Angeles,
West Los Angeles or Loma Linda to get medical care.
It is a full service facility and a bigger one is going to
open in three to five years. We are going to have the
grand opening on Aug. 2. If anyone wants details on
the facility, they can call my office. n

science fiction division, and countless
publications, such as the Los Angeles Times.
He’s also created numerous cover images for the
Pasadena Weekly.
Yet, he’s also managed the incredible feat of
maintaining another thriving career as the author
of a murder mystery series centered on the procedural
investigations of a group of police in the
Personal Crimes Unit of a fictional West Coast
metropolis.
While his seven novels have first been published
in England as part of the Linford Mystery
Library series, he’s had three of the books republished
in the US by Wildside Press. The latest,
combining two novels following the adventures
of Detective Frank Vandegraf called “It’s Her
Fault” and “The Other Frank,” will be the focus
of a discussion and signing event Sunday at The
Battery Books & Music store in Pasadena.
“I’ve been doing a lot of writing for many
years, mainly nonfiction, but I had several different
kinds of fiction pieces I put together and
this happens to be what someone was interested
in a few years ago,” explains Gleeson. “The first
murder mystery I’d written, ‘Night Music,’ started
with the idea of what would you do if you had
eight people die in one night and how would you
connect it.
“This publisher in the UK was particularly interested
in that, so I started writing more of them
and they’ve bought nine,” he continues. “It was
the luck of the draw. Somebody suggested I try
this particular agent in England and he was the
guy who liked it. That first book was published
at the end of 2015. I haven’t been over there, but
I’m doing the best I can to promote the American
editions here. It’s a good gig, because I like the

stories I’m coming up with and the characters and world I’ve created.”
Gleeson’s novels center on five detectives in the PCU division, rotating each as
the lead characters in the books. Gleeson notes that the different personalities of
each character give each book a different flavor, as Frank Vandegraf is stoic but
has a sense of humor that gives his adventures a lighter quality. Other characters
are “very serious and dedicated and their books are darker and more serious.”
“It’s Her Fault” finds Vandegraf investigating the death of an eccentric university
professor who had claimed his wife was trying to kill him, even as she went
into hiding after claiming he threatened to kill her. When the detective finds a
mysterious note lying on his chest that says “It’s her fault,” he doubles down on
his efforts to locate the missing wife, his prime suspect — but when he does, the
case takes a bizarre turn.
In “The Other Frank,” Vandegraf hears of the unexpected death of his exwife
and travels to the tiny rural town of Easton to face the demons of his past.
But it’s no respite from the challenging urban crimes of his regular job, and no
sooner has he arrived than two bizarre, violent deaths occur, leading him to feel
irresistibly drawn to help unravel a web of mystery and intrigue. However, he’s
out of his jurisdiction, obstructed by officials, and amidst folk hiding their own
secrets.
“I’m definitely influenced by Evan Hunter, who was a very prolific writer who
wrote 55 procedural mysteries under the name Ed McBain and was an incredible
storyteller in a book series called ‘The 87th Precinct’,” says Gleeson. “He
had a lot of humanity in his books and definitely influenced how I approach
these procedurals.
“I also love Donald Westlake, who influenced the more amusing parts of my
stories, when I want to be funny or have a whole lot of stuff going on in them,”
he adds. “I think of Westlake things, which are really funny or really dark, but
could make your laugh your ass off. I’m not concerned with being really trendy
or getting dark and noir just to do it. There’s enough dark stuff in police work
without pushing it.”
A native of upstate New York, Gleeson recalls “confounding my parents and
teachers that I didn’t want to be a doctor or lawyer, and they thought I was
crazy.” Although they suggested he write and draw as a hobby, he stuck to his
guns and wound up studying at the ArtCenter College of Design.
He moved back to New York City after graduating, launching a career as
a graphic designer and meeting his wife before convincing her to flee the Big
Apple’s harsh winters in favor of the California sun. He’s created an eclectic
body of work ever since.
“I’ve been a staff artist at other studios, and run my own — done design,
concept work and all sorts of stuff,” he says. “I worked in films, TV, done toys,
worked on theme parks and designed movie posters. I’ve done catalog drawings
until I wanted to scream. There are only so many chairs you can draw for a
newspaper. Anything I can do I did it, and here I am today still doing it.”
Sunday’s event will team Gleeson with his friend and fellow author Odie
Hawkins, the self-described “father of the Pan-African occult genre” who has
written 37 novels of his own. The two recently teamed up at a Redondo Beach
bookstore appearance to discuss Gleeson’s novels, and he hopes that they will
be able to do many more events together.
“I’m really excited by where it’s going,” says Gleeson. “I’d love to get them in
the hands of a lot of people and see if they agree with me. I’m just a storyteller
and I like bringing these regular characters to life. They’ve become people.
“When you really invest the time in creating characters and situations, they
take on a life of their own,” he adds. “I love this side of what I’m doing. I get approached
like a different person doing this and that’s really cool to me. Nobody
asks me to do the covers on my books and I’m delighted to see what somebody
else does with them. I just really enjoy it.” ■
Tony Gleeson will discuss his novels “It’s Her Fault” and “The Other Frank” with Odie Hawkins and sign the
books at 7 p.m. Sunday at The Battery Books & Music, 26 S. Los Robles Ave., Pasadena. Admission is free.

SOME PASADENA FAVORITES OFFER DISCOUNTED MENUS DURING RESTAURANT WEEK
BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE
Southern California foodies have until July 26 to experience
some of the LA area’s most in-demand spots. Thanks to
specially priced dineLA Restaurant Week menus, and the
online reservation platform Open Table, some top-tier, four-star
restaurants open their doors and books giving Angelenos a more
accessible route to the culinary world.
While Pasadena already has a host of affordable dining spots
(looking at you Maquina Taco, 1274 N. Lake Ave., No. 1,
Pasadena; (626) 365-1893; maquinataco.com; no alcohol/
major cards accepted)), a number of local restaurants with
more dollar icons next to their Yelp listings become an option
during this celebration of culinary culture. Here are some of
the Pasadena favorites you should check out before the deals
disappear and you are stuck counting down the days until the
winter dineLA event.
Alexander’s Steakhouse
It is hard for me to not bring up Alexander’s. They have a spot
on my best happy hour list for much the same reason as they are
getting a shout out here. Pasadena is fortunate enough to have
one of the three Alexander’s locations. For context on just what
a culinary heavyweight the Japanese influenced steakhouse is,
its Silicon Valley counterpart has a Michelin star. The Pasadena
location opened in 2015 after the committee that awards Michelin
stars stopped awarding them to Los Angeles-based restaurants.
With that context in mind, Alexander’s Restaurant Week menu
does come at the highest cost of any on my list at $119, but for a
six-course meal that features a beef tataki appetizer, along with
a sweet braised pork belly doused in a pork aioli, garlic soy, and
pickled daikon. Following the appetizers come the organic greens
served with crab, lobster jelly, avocado and honey yuzu vinaigrette
dressing. The next two courses are the shrimp chawanmushi
and six-ounce New York strip of American Wagyu beef served in
a bordelaise reduction with an herb salad accompaniment. The
six courses are rounded out by a pistachio cake dessert served
with matcha ice cream and a vegetable pistachio crumble. I know
Alexander’s Restaurant Week offering hits the wallet harder than
some of the other choices, but it is an opening to the upper echelon
of the culinary world. Treat yourself to a lengthy, multicourse
journey through some truly masterful flavors.

then in its infancy, understandably working the finer
details of the menu. Gold praised the citrus brined
chicken wings, calling them “heartier, stickier than
the traditional double-cooked Indonesian bird.”
Perhaps in a show of respect to Gold who was the
arbiter of Los Angeles dining, the wings found their
way to Bone Kettle’s lunch menu. For $20 Bone
Kettle is offering a two-course lunch. The first
course is a choice of the Gold-approved chicken
wings or the spicy papaya salad made with bay
scallops, finely shredded green papaya, mangoes,
tomatoes, chili, cilantro, green beans and rounded
out for texture with peanuts. For an entree they are
offering diners a chance to experience their titular
bone infusions with either the top sirloin or the
ginger seared chicken, both accompanied by bone
broth and noodles. They also have a vegan entree
option — the crispy tempeh served with its own
vegan broth and noodles.

Beer & Claw
Beer & Claw has earned my respect. Tucked
away in Mills Alley, just off Green Street, the
crustacean & cocktail-centric restaurant
offers the shelled seafood options that we love
to crack open, harkening back to our hunter
gatherer roots. But unlike some similarly centric
restaurants, they do it sans the plastic bibs and
tablecloths like some of their counterparts. For
Restaurant Week they are putting it all out there.
Their pre-fixe three-course dinner and cocktail
menu will run $59, and is packed full of seafood
as well as non-oceanic options. For appetizers
there’s a five oyster platter, loaded pork belly
fries, a watermelon ahi salad, crab wontons, and
a few more to choose from. For entrees you can
select one of six options that include a ribeye
and a cajun seafood platter. The standout of the
entrees is the LobstaMozz, a decadent cheesy
lobster shell covered in mozzarella and spices.
Videos and pictures of the Lobstamozz have gone
viral across food blogs this week, and for good
reason; it must be seen to be believed. Their dinner
menu wraps up with one of four dessert options: the
honey bourbon strawberry shortcake is a summer
dream with fresh whipped cream and honey
bourbon drizzle. It is the refreshing ending that you
deserve after burning calories cracking into those
lobster shells.

Parkway Grill
The Pasadena pillar offers a two course lunch
menu and a three-course dinner menu. Featuring
ingredients from its own organic garden, Parkway
Grill creates really special dishes with a fresh,
seasonal twist. They’ve been doing things right for
over 35 years and if you haven’t had a chance to visit
yet, take this one. The lunch menu entrees feature
choices of some classics: pan fried chicken, a
shrimp and vegetable pasta dish, and an open faced
ribeye sandwich with onion rings. Dinner selections
include a whitefish beurre blanc, filet mignonette,
and a half-chicken with lemon sauce.
Each dish is enhanced by the freshest local fare,
straight from the on-premises garden and plated
in the exhibition kitchen, which has one of the first
mesquite and oak wood burning ovens in LA. Every
detail of Parkway Grill is special and I have no
doubt your visit will be as well.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the bar. It’s original,
transported from Chicago when Parkway
opened. Among various features and accolades
for the vast collection of wines and spirits, the
bartenders have over 92 collective years of
Parkway Grill service.

STAY CALM
ANXIETY OCCURS WHEN SOMEONE
HAS A STRONG NEED TO PERFORM
BUT FEARS FAILURE
Dear Patti,
I’m 18 and have to take the DMV road test in order to get my driver’s
license. I passed the written exam but when I took the actual driving test last
month I failed. It only took 25 minutes but it seemed like forever. I thought
I was fully prepared. I’ve taken a driver’s prep course of over 50 hours with
10 hours of night driving. As my family will attest, I’m a very good driver. I
was just so nervous at the possibility of not getting my driver’s license that
I didn’t pass, and as the appointment time for the re-test gets closer, I’m
getting more and more apprehensive. I’m very independent and hate the idea
of not being able to get around on my own. If I’m calm and focused and still
unsuccessful, then maybe I need to practice more and take the test again, but
if I fail because of my nerves I’m afraid it’s because of a destructive pattern.
Do you have any suggestions on how to keep my composure?
— Hannah
Dear Hannah,
You’re not alone in your angst about test-taking. Whether it’s a job interview,
a school exam or an athletic competition, anxiety can occur when someone has
a driving need to perform but becomes so afraid of failure that all their knowledge,
experience and confidence flies out the window. Concentration can also
be impacted by extreme stress, or following a traumatic event. Let’s say, for
example, you and I visited a hospital emergency room and encountered a woman
who’d just been in an accident. Imagine asking her to study trigonometry on the
spot; while remembering her phone number and address might be challenging
enough.
When your anxiety level is so high that cognitive disruption (unclear thinking)
occurs, it’s important to understand the causes. Let’s start with thinking of
your body as a radio with three channels. One is a channel to all your thoughts,
another channel is to your physical and emotional feelings in your body, and the
third is all of your senses (smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing) that connect
you to the outside world. Since it’s difficult to listen to three radio stations simultaneously,
it’s important to focus on what each separate channel is communicating.
First, let’s concentrate on your thoughts. Explore your worst fears; i.e., you
don’t want to lose your independence. Face these thoughts, explore possible
alternatives, and then turn that channel off. Don’t allow yourself to ruminate,
especially during the test. Every time these frightening thoughts return, dismiss
them by saying “I don’t need to scare myself.” Concentrate on how to demonstrate
your driving skills and knowledge of traffic laws and stay focused in present
time.
I’d recommend driving to the DMV road test site a few days before the exam.
Sit in your car in the parking lot and focus on the second channel, your physical
and emotional feelings. Imagine yourself getting in line to take the test. Do you
have physical anxiety symptoms such as knots or butterflies in your stomach,
racing heartbeat, shallow breathing or tense muscles? Are you experiencing feelings
such as sadness or anger? If so, pay attention to these feelings and focus
on your symptoms until they go away. Lie back, stretch out, close your eyes and
breathe in and out, deeply and slowly. Count backwards from 10 to one, feeling
the tension gently leave your body with each breath as you relax your feet and
legs, your torso, your arms and hands and, lastly, your neck and head. When
you’re completely relaxed, open your eyes and, again, imagine yourself taking
the test. Repeat this relaxation exercise each time the anxiety returns until
you’ve desensitized your fears and can easily visualize yourself confidently taking
the test. Even under stress, you’ll be able to recall the knowledge and skills
you know you have.
Get a good night’s sleep the night before the exam. Don’t go on an empty stomach.
Eat a light but healthy meal beforehand. Arrive early with your thoughts
free of fear and worry, your body calm and relaxed. Stay focused on the third
channel — giving full attention to your senses; stay in the present, and focus
on the task at hand. How exciting for you to be taking this positive step toward
independence and adulthood. Good luck n

LOST NO MORE
House passes Schiff amendment to add names of
‘The Lost 74’ to Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Seventy-four sailors who lost their lives on the
USS Frank E. Evans during the Vietnam War will
have their names added to the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington, DC.
“The Lost 74 died aboard the USS Frank E.
Evans during the Vietnam War, and today the
House took an important step to ensure their
sacrifice is not forgotten,” said Rep. Adam Schiff
(D-Burbank).
Schiff announced on Friday that by a 220-197 vote the House of Representatives
passed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
instructing the Department of Defense to add the names of the memorial.
On June 3, 1969 the American destroyer was struck by the HMAS Melbourne,
an Australian aircraft carrier in the South China Sea, during a joint Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization exercise called “Sea Spirit” at the time of the collision.
Despite operating in Vietnamese waters immediately before deployment to the
joint exercise, and a scheduled return to activities supporting the war effort
after the exercise, it was determined that since the incident occurred outside the
geographical limit for the combat zone the sailors who lost their lives were ineligible
for inclusion on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
That conclusion did not acknowledge that at the time of the incident, the crew
of the USS Evans was instrumental in advancing American military objectives in
Vietnam and had participated in conflict just days before the collision.
MEANINGFUL CELEBRATION
Sri Lanka Day Expo festival of lights pays tribute

dance.

PURE
HILARITY
THE CLEAN COMEDY CHALLENGE
GIVES FRESH TALENTS THE CHANCE
TO BE CLEAN AND CLEVER FOR CASH
BY CARL KOZLOWSKI
Leslie Norris Townsend had been a
longtime veteran standup comic
when she decided to try out some
new jokes at an open mic near her Ohio
home a decade ago. Nearly every comic
around her that night was performing
dirty material, a fact that surprised her,
considering the fact she knew that clean
comedy was infinitely more valuable to
a comedy career. .
But that dispiriting evening inspired
her to take a stand against the
tide of onstage filth. She soon created
the Clean Comedy Challenge (CCC), a
twice-annual, three-day series of shows
and seminars in which more than twodozen
comics compete each night to
take home a top prize of $1,000, while
also engaging in seminars with veteran
comics and writers during the day.
The result has been a big success,
with the CCC bringing clean, clever
comedy to numerous cities nationwide.
Its third go-round at the Ice House in
Pasadena takes place Tuesday through
next Thursday, with national headliner
Bob Zany and former “Tonight Show”
head writer Jimmy Brogan amid the
judges and lecturers.
“We ask people all over the country
who have a desire to do standup to apply,
whether it’s a club comic who wants
to learn how to work clean, Christian
comics wanting to learn how to be
user-friendly in secular environments
and work cruise ships and clubs ,” says
Townsend, who notes that the Ice House
was the first club ever to hire her officially
as a comedian. “Clean comedy is

tions want squeaky clean acts and for them
to be politically correct also.”
The CCC mainly attracts participants
through announcements each January
or February on its website, cleancomedychallenge.com.
There are no auditions
involved, and the first 25 people to apply
and pay the fee ($400 for full participation
in seminars and performing) are accepted.
Participants perform three-minute
sets each night, in shows that are judged
by veteran comics, including Brogan and
Zany, among others. The final night, on
July 25, climaxes with the judges’ choice of
winner for each of the three nights facing
off alongside the audience-voted favorite.
The daytime seminars include a jokewriting
session led by legendary comedy
writer Gene Perret, who spent decades
as Bob Hope’s head writer before launching
his own successful line of comedyteaching
books. Other seminars cover
career promotion and how to get booked
in various formats of shows, in addition to
the comics receiving in-depth critiques by
the guest judges. Each evening features all
25 comics performing a different threeminute
set in front of a different panel of
judges.
“This allows everybody who has the desire
to do comedy a shot at either realizing
a dream, continuing a dream or possibly
beginning the moment of a dream,” says
Townsend. “It’s very exciting because everybody
looks at comedy and thinks, ‘I can
do that.’ It puts some meat on the bones
because it’s not easy and this gives them
three nights in a row to do stage time.
“Each night ballots are tallied and three
rise to the top, and there’s a cumulative
score because each night we have different
judges and so you have different eyes
looking at the jokes,” she continues. “The
ultimate goal is to pick someone who has
originality, joke writing skills, stage presence
and the overall star quality which is
hard to define.”
As the head writer for Jay Leno’s “The
Tonight Show” from 1992 to 2000, Jimmy
Brogan experienced the importance of
clean yet funny comedy firsthand on a
nightly basis. He has been a regular presence
at the three Ice House editions of the
CCC, serving as both a judge and seminar
lecturer in addition to providing one on
one critiques with the performers.
“In past years, I sat down with Jan
Smith the former comedy booker there,
and went through everyone’s act and gave
them feedback,” explains Brogan. “Some
performers are new to comedy and some
have been around and are looking to make
it bigger. I saw one woman named Angie
Stokes from Anchorage who came back
to do it again, and she was phenomenal in
year two after just trying it out the year
before.
“I always tell the comics that dirty
comedy turns out not to be the choice
that makes you feel good and that clean
comedy is the choice that in the long run
will make you more money because you
can work any kind of event or TV show,” he
adds. “It opens more doors than dirty. “
“A lot of times this attracts a person
who has it on their bucket list to do a pro
comedy club, and being around better comics,
you learn,” adds Townsend. “The challenge
is when you add a contest element to
it, it steps it up another notch. People bring
their A -game, edit their jokes, and do a
three-minute set.” n
The Clean Comedy Challenge takes place at 8
p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, and 7:30 p.m. next
Thursday, July 25, at the Ice House, 24 N. Mentor
Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $10 per show. Visit

‘UNHEARD LA’ PRESENTS ‘LETTERS TO OUR CITY’
AT THE CRAWFORD FAMILY FORUM WEDNESDAY NIGHT
PHOTO: Louis Felix/KPCC
When the producers of
KPCC’s “Unheard LA”
recently invited Monterey
Park resident Mike Sonksen
to host an event in their space, he
had no shortage of fellow artists
and storytellers to call to join a
celebration of LA’s diverse communities
and pockets of wonder.
He says he and the show’s team
were “already on the same wavelength”
so things gelled quickly
for the show, which takes place
at the Crawford Family Forum
Wednesday night.
The “good friends and great
wordsmiths” who will join
Sonksen onstage include two of
his former high school students,
literary siblings Dante and
Monique Mitchell, as well as
fellow poet/tour guide Armond
Kinard, L.A. Taco editor Daniel
Hernandez, NAACP Image
Award-nominated novelist and
lawyer Natashia Deón, author/actor/activist
traci kato-kiriyama,
Monrovia poet Luivette Resto,
“StoryPhile” host Lee Boek, freelance
writer Esther Tseng, and
Highland Park poets Sara Borjas
and Rocío Carlos. Terry Robinson,
aka hip-hopper Hymnal, will
perform his surrealist poetry,
and Sonksen also invited El
Monte-based saxophonist Adrian
Ramon, a longtime collaborator
with whom he plans to perform
a piece.
They named the event “Letters
to Our City,” he says, “because
the city is ours.”
It also links thematically to
“Letters to My City,” a book of
poems and essays that Sonksen,
a third-generation Angeleno,
published earlier this year. It’s
an open-hearted love song to
his native city, with poems like
“Garvey Avenue From Alhambra
to El Monte,” “Ode to the Los
Angeles River,” “Arrival Stories,”
and “Los Angeles: The Land
of 1000 Dances” that delight
in the history and surprises
found in neighborhoods, streets,
and individual citizens across
LA. Homage is paid to literary
inspirations like Chester Himes
and Luis J. Rodriguez, and “LA
Authors,” one of Sonksen’s signature
poems, reappears in slightly
altered form from what was seen
in his 2006 collection “I Am Alive
in Los Angeles!”
That earlier book’s titular
poem also gets updated, as “I
Am Still Alive in Los Angeles!,”
with shout-outs to “millennials
on bicycles” and “angels in a
city singing/ synchronicity from
Central to Century City.” “Elegy
to Rootdown & Firecracker,” a
key essay, passionately evokes
the late-’90s club scene, when
the Rootdown, Firecracker and
the Chocolate Bar fostered the
synergistic spirit of the “Millennial
Los Angeles hip-hop, funk,
soul underground.”
“People, music, vibes, beats,
bass, life,” he writes. “A generation
of us can testify, it’s been an
amazing ride.”
In the intervening years,
Sonksen has become a husband,
parent and professor, and he
now writes journalistic essays as
often as poems. “Letters to My
City” reflects his life and worldview
now, and the “Letters to Our
City” event represents the community
that inspired his personal
and literary evolution.
“The book is about living your
values or living your ethics,” he
says.
“Everybody’s sharing the city
together, [and] everyone’s story
matters.” n
Unheard LA presents “Letters to Our
City” with host Mike Sonksen and fellow
wordsmiths 7:30-9 p.m. Wednesday, July
24, at the Crawford Family Forum, 474 S.
Raymond Ave., Pasadena; $12. Tickets

TRAX BY BLISS
BLACK PUMAS, Black Pumas (ATO):
HHHH
Charismatic frontman Eric Burton and producer/
ex-Grupo Fantasma guitarist Adrian Quesada, plus
guest players, put a cosmic spin on matters of the
heart with tracks like “Black Moon Rising,” the
hypnotic “Sweet Conversations” and “Confines”
(“We all shine then burn over/ Like the stars in
the night/ So cast a dream and watch it glide”).
Valley native Burton, who busked in Santa Monica
before landing in Austin in 2015, is reminiscent
of D’Angelo and Terence Trent D’Arby, gritty yet
sweet, and while Quesada’s lyrics can be obtuse his
fretwork and production are spot-on in evoking the
mystique as well as the open-hearted passion of
’60s-’70s soul. theblackpumas.com
JENNY TOLMAN, There Goes the
Neighborhood (Old Sol): HHH
The native Nashvillean is strongly reminiscent of
Brandy Clark throughout her cheerful, twanging
album debut. Tolman’s soft vocal tone magnifies
her generosity of spirit even when she’s nailing
characters with sharp details on snappy songs like
“Work It” (“I’m just a coupon clipper with a push-up
bra”), “High Class White Trash” and the amusing
title track. Her melodic style and playful metaphors
evoke traditional country, although “My Welcome
Mat” stands as a contemporary anthem of tolerance
(“In my living room ain’t no one out of place”).
RIYL Clark, Kacey Musgraves and Elizabeth Cook.
jennytolman.com
GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW, Vweto II (Mello
Music): HH½
The category-defying singer/composer/producer
veers from the more melodic songcraft of
last year’s “Overload” with this experimental
collection of spacey instrumentals, a sequel to
her 2011 album. Sticky beats and textures make
its 16 tracks aurally intriguing from a production
standpoint; much of their chill allure lies in
tracing and decipering interlaced funk, hip-hop,
jazz and R&B elements. But it’s a rather esoteric
exercise, and not recommended for anyone
operating heavy machinery. Apropos of the gravity
referenced in the Swahili title, it gets pretty heavy.

MANX MARRINER MAINLINE, Hell Bound
for Heaven (Stony Plain): HHHH
A gut-satisfying from veteran guitarist Harry Manx
and MoneyJunk frontman Steve Marriner, who
intersperse heartfelt originals with blues and gospel
chestnuts by Charlie Patton and the Staple Singers.
Manx threads Marriner’s swampy title track with
his mohan veena, a 20-stringed Indian lap slide
instrument whose ethereal tones enhance the
song’s account of spiritual search and reckoning
behind Marriner’s gritty vocal. Other highlights
include the Canadian duo’s moving ballad “Rise and
Fall in Love” and a take on Rev. Gary Davis’ “Death
Don’t Have No Mercy in This Land” that’s heavy
on slide, vibe, and feel. stonyplainrecords.com,

Travel the long and winding road
to Mount Wilson Observatory, either
for the regular Saturday and Sunday
public tours (11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.) for
$15, or buy $100 tickets to an exclusive
nighttime party from 7:30 p.m. to
midnight July 19.
The Observatory will open an
experimental Cosmic Sound series with
Jeff Talman’s “Of Sound Before the
Stars” inside the dome of the 100-inch
telescope. Talman will introduce his
compositions and talk about its creation;
music derived from the cosmic
microwave background (CMB), or the
faint sound of cosmic background
radiation that fills all space. In 2018,
two of Talman’s musical installations

‘King’ of the Multiplex
DISNEY UNLEASHES ITS CGI REBOOT OF ANIMATED ‘LION KING’
There is no greater king in the family-film world
these days than Disney, as the entertainment
behemoth has snapped up everything from Marvel
superhero films to the Muppets, and from the “Star
Wars” universe to 20th Century Fox in recent years.
Add in Pixar, ABC TV, ESPN and the nationwide Radio
Disney network and there doesn’t seem to be a single
overlooked opportunity to shake down families for their
money.
But two years ago, they indeed opened another vault
by deciding to bring their line-drawn animated classics
to CGI or actual real life when a live-action reboot of
“Beauty and the Beast” brought in well over a billion
dollars worldwide. Since then, they’ve followed suit
with this summer’s smash live-action take on “Aladdin”
and flew to just middling success with “Dumbo,” but
now they’re poised to make their biggest hit yet in the
new genre with this weekend’s release of the CGI version
of “The Lion King.”
Directed by Jon Favreau, who scored hugely with his
2016 live-action/CGI hybrid of “The Jungle Book,” this
“Lion” appears to bring its African setting to stunning
life despite the fact it’s entirely crafted on computer
screens. The new version opens with an African
woman’s voice singing the classic opening song “Circle
of Life” in place of its songwriter Elton John’s version
in the original, but it’s effective in making it clear that
this version strives to be more realistic on the voiceover
level as well.
The story follows young lion cub Simba (Donald
Glover), who is announced as the future heir to the
throne of his father Mufasa, and wants to grow up fast.
He takes the advice of his evil uncle Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor)
and visits the elephant graveyard over the horizon
with his best friend and future mate Nala (Beyonce),
despite his father telling him it’s a forbidden zone.
Mufasa has to save the young pair from an attack
by hyenas, yet later Simba follows Scar’s bad advice
20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.18.19
again and practices his roar in a canyon that echoes.
The noise prompts a stampede of cows being chased
by evil hyenas again, and when Mufasa is endangered
while trying to save his son, Scar causes his death in a
vicious betrayal and then convinces Simba that he’s at
fault instead.
Simba runs away in shame for many years, teaming
up with a new duo of irresponsible friends named
Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and Timon (Billy Eichner), who
try to convince him that the happiest way to live is by
shirking all responsibilities. But when Nala finds him
years later while seeking help to rid the kingdom of
Scar, Simba is forced to take a stand that carries a great
deal of consequences.
The film follows the storyline of the 1994 original
closely, but with an extra half-hour in its running time
the story adds depth to the characters and provides the
time needed to make its impressive action sequences
achieve maximum impact. In fact, the one warning
parents of young children should take heed is that the
battles between the lions and the chase scenes with the
hyenas in frenzied pursuit of the film’s young heroes
might prove to be too much for younger children.
Yet, there’s plenty of great comic relief with Rogen
and Eichner perfectly filling in the roles of the mischievous
Pumbaa and Timon,and John Oliver taking on the
wise bird Zazu. In a perfect nod to the original cartoon,
James Earl Jones reprises the role of Mufasa and gives
him perhaps even more regal class and fury than he
managed to perform a quarter-century ago.
It’s almost impossible to find anything wrong with
the film, continuing the Disney brand’s tradition of technical
perfection matched with a heartfelt tale. They may
have a glut of product in the marketplace, but they take
the time to make their films at the highest possible level
and audiences are ultimately the winners. n

NOTICE OF INTENT TO
ADOPT A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE
DECLARATION
AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC
WORKSHOP
PROJECT TITLE: Holly Street
Bridge Seismic Retrofi t Project
APPLICANT NAME: City of Pasadena
PROJECT SITE ADDRESS: Holly
Street Bridge over Arroyo Seco
Flood Control Channel (southeast
of Linda Vista Avenue)
ZONING DISTRICT: ROW, OS-
Open Space, RM-Multi-Family
Residential, and RS-Single-Family
Residential
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Low Density Residential, Medium
Density Residential, Open Space
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:. The City
of Pasadena, in coordination with
the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), proposes to
rehabilitate and seismically retrofi t
the existing two-lane Holly Street
Bridge (No. 53C1041) over the
Arroyo Seco Channel, the Arroyo
Seco Trail (a Class 1 multi-use
trail), and North Arroyo Boulevard.
The seismic retrofi t would occur on
the Holly Street Bridge southeast
of Linda Vista Avenue, and entirely
within the City of Pasadena, Los
Angeles County, California. The
existing bridge was constructed
in 1925 and is 45.3-feet wide by
400.0-feet long. The bridge is a
concrete arch-deck span constructed
from cast-in-place concrete.
According to the Caltrans
Bridge Inspection Report (BIR), the
bridge currently (July 2016) holds
a suffi ciency rating of 39.4 and is
classifi ed as Structurally Defi cient.
The proposed Project would provide
needed rehabilitation and
a seismic retrofi t to the existing
bridge. Bridge retrofi t and
rehabilitation would include a
deck and barrier replacement,
luminaire replacement, archway
stiffening, joint strengthening,
column strengthening, pier cap
strengthening, retrofi t foundation
hold-downs, concrete spall repair,
crack sealing, and a bonded grout
treatment. Construction is estimated
to last for approximately 18
months, and the Holly Street Bridge
would be closed to vehicle and pedestrian
traffi c for approximately
9 months. The City plans to offer
a detour route using Linda Vista
Avenue, San Rafael Avenue, Colorado
Boulevard, and Orange Grove
Boulevard.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINA-
TION: An Initial Study was prepared
and concluded that the Proposed
Project could have a signifi cant
effect on the environment; however,
with inclusion of mitigation
measures, these potential impacts
would be reduced to a less than
signifi cant level. Therefore, the
City has prepared a Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
The project site is not listed on any
hazardous materials or waste databases
pursuant to Section 65962.5
of the Government Code.
PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: Comments
on the Initial Study and
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration
may be received in writing

above. The Initial Study and proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration

Central Library, 285 E. Walnut Avenue,
Pasadena CA 91101.
PUBLIC WORKSHOP: During the
public review period, the City will
be hosting a Public Workshop to
provide additional information
and answer any questions on the
project in general, or regarding
the fi ndings and conclusion provided
in the Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The Public
Workshop will be held on July 31,
2019 from 5:30pm to 7pm at the
La Casita del Arroyo 177 South
Arroyo Boulevard, Pasadena, CA
91103).
APPROVALS NEEDED: The Pasadena
City Council will consider the
proposed project and any public
comments received during the
public review period and make a
decision if the City should adopt
the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and advance to the Final Design
phase. This decision is expected
to occur at a regularly scheduled
City Council Public Hearing in the
Fall of 2019. City Council Hearings
are held in the Pasadena City
Hall Council Chamber S249 (100

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 offi ce or a
title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may
hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NO-
TICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, benefi -
ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of the California
Civil Code. The law requires that
information about trustee sale
postponements be made available
to you and to the public, as a courtesy
to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time
and date for the sale of this property,
you may call 916-939-0772 for
information regarding the trustee’s
sale or visit this Internet Web site

postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in
time to the scheduled sale may
not immediately be refl ected in the
telephone information or on the
Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is
to attend the scheduled sale. The
undersigned Trustee disclaims any
liability for any incorrectness of the
property address or other common
designation, if any, shown herein. If
no street address or other common
designation is shown, directions to
the location of the property may be
obtained by sending a written request
to the benefi ciary within 10
days of the date of fi rst publication
of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is
set aside for any reason, including
if the Trustee is unable to convey
title, the Purchaser at the sale shall

shall have no further recourse
against the Trustor, the Trustee,
the Benefi ciary, the Benefi ciary’s
Agent, or the Benefi ciary’s Attorney.
