until her death in 2017. She took 

tremendous joy in her job and was

WHAT’S THE ANSWER? 

Kamala Harris was in prosecutor 

mode during the second 

Democratic presidential debate, 

and said it’s not “climate change,” 

but “climate crisis,” which 

threatens our very existence as a 

species. 

Joe Biden promises 500,000 

charging stations for our new, allelectric 

automobile fleet. 

Bernie Sanders wants to “up the 

ante” on the Paris climate accord 

and make the rest of the world go 

along with a drastic transformation 

of the energy system. Millions 

need to rise up in a revolution 

against the fossil-fuel industry, 

the insurance industry, corporate 

greed in general, he said, and “we 

only have 12 years.” 

Gov. Hickenlooper said Colorado 

is leading the way on tough 

methane regulations. 

Some follow-up questions that 

didn’t get asked: 

1. Would they outlaw gasolinepowered 

cars and diesel-powered 

trucks? How about trucks carrying 

diesel generators to rescue electric 

cars stranded between charging 

stations? How about emergency 

vehicles or farm equipment or excavation 

equipment with internal 

combustion engines? 

2. What would supply backup 

generating capacity when 

solar and wind facilities are not 

generating any power (say to 

supply those charging stations 

and keep the lights on in the 

operating room)? 

3. How do we prosecute China 

for building hundreds of coal-fired 

generating stations? 

4. Where do we get jet fuel for 

our public officials if our own 

industry is destroyed? From Iran? 

5. Who will pay the hundreds of 

billions of dollars to Third World 

dictators in reparations for our 

driving cars and using coal-generated 

electricity? 

6. Does AOC think her mentor 

Bernie Sanders has the “social 

intelligence of a sea sponge” to 

believe her 12-year deadline for 

Doomsday? 

7. What did Gov. Hickenlooper 

do about methane-emitting 

cows and termites in Colorado? 

Should we still be allowed to eat 

meat? 

For other major issues related 

to atmospheric carbon dioxide 

and climate (wildfires, health 

effects, ocean acidification, sealevel 

rise, Arctic ice, hurricanes, 

and more), see Climate Change IQ 

test. How well does your favorite 

candidate do? 

~ JANE M. ORIENT, MD 

TUCSON, ARIZONA 

TO KAMALA HARRIS: 

I was so excited watching you 

during the debate. In addition 

to agreeing with your stance on 

many subjects, I greatly admired 

your ability to intelligently and 

powerfully state your views. I 

have thought for quite some 

time that you would be the best 

candidate to eviscerate the man 

currently occupying the White 

House and lead this country 

forward. 

However, last night I learned 

that you are participating in a fundraiser 

with Miguel Bustos, the 

lobbying executive who defended 

Wells Fargo during the fake accounts 

scandal. 

I am crushed. I just don’t know 

how you could do this. 

Unfortunately, what this 

tells me is that if you are 

elected nothing will really 

change. Wall Street, and its connections 

to our health care and 

Big Pharma, will still run and 

ruin American lives on a daily 

basis. We will still have to fear 

that catastrophic loss is just 

around the corner. 

You are better than this. And, 

if you don’t think you are, you 

shouldn’t be running for the office 

of the president of the United 

States in the first place. 

This breaks my heart.

WORD GAMES 

CONSUMERS SUFFER WHEN THE GOVERNMENT STOPS BUSINESSES 

FROM COMMUNICATING TRUTHFULLY ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS 

The state of Arkansas thinks people are confused about whether a veggie 

burger comes from a cow. In fact, it thinks people are so confused that 

it passed a law making it illegal for companies to use words like “meat,” “roast,” and 

“sausage” to describe products that are not made from animals. Under the law, it 

doesn’t matter if those words are modified by “vegan,” “veggie,” or “plant-based.” 

Rather than focusing on genuine consumer concerns — such as rising health care 

and education costs — Arkansas politicians have decided to take on an imaginary 

crisis: confusing a veggie burger for a hamburger, or almond milk for cow’s milk. 

Why? To “protect the agricultural producers in the state,” one of the law’s 

proponents admitted. 

Not only is Arkansas’ latest law absurd and unnecessary, it’s also 

unconstitutional. It violates the First Amendment by censoring truthful speech in 

order to protect the economic interests of the meat industry. Together with the Good 

Food Institute, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and the ACLU of Arkansas, we filed a 

lawsuit today on behalf of Tofurky challenging the law. 

From oat milk to meatless burgers, consumers are increasingly interested in 

alternatives to food products derived from live animals. Right now, most of those 

alternatives are made from plants. But companies are also investing in technologies 

that cultivate meat from animal cells, effectively allowing them to make beef without 

the cow. The meat and dairy industries are worried about these new competitors, 

identifying them as one of the “major challenges” the animal meat industry faces. 

But instead of competing in the free market, industry groups have enlisted friendly 

state legislatures and regulators to give them an upper hand. Over the past year, 

states throughout the country, including Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana and South 

Dakota, passed a new wave of meat censorship laws that prohibit companies from 

using terms like “veggie bacon,” “cauliflower rice,” or “almond milk.” 

The laws’ proponents insist that they’re just trying to prevent consumers from 

being misled. One former FDA commissioner memorably declared that almond milk 

is a contradiction in terms because “almonds don’t lactate.” But consumers know 

that, of course, and it’s absurd to suggest otherwise. As Republican Sen. Mike Lee 

explained, “No one buys almond milk under the false illusions that it came from a 

cow. They buy almond milk because it didn’t come from a cow.” 

Businesses often rely on figurative language to help communicate information 

about the flavor, texture, or appearance of their products. Consumers know that 

“peanut butter” is not made from cows, but the product’s name efficiently informs 

them that it spreads like butter. “Veggie bacon” is appealing to consumers who 

enjoy the distinctive taste, smell and crunch of conventional bacon, but who prefer 

plant-based foods for any number of personal reasons. If companies are forced to 

describe their products as “savory plant-based protein,” consumers are likely to be 

much more confused about exactly what it is they’re putting on their plates. And 

that’s the real purpose of these label censorship laws: creating confusion to protect 

favored economic interests. 

But the First Amendment does not allow the government to censor speech in 

order to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. After all, consumers rely 

on the free exchange of truthful information to make their own choices. As the 

Supreme Court put it in a landmark decision recognizing constitutional protection 

for commercial speech, “[s]o long as we preserve a predominantly free enterprise 

economy, the allocation of our resources in large measure will be made through 

numerous private economic decisions. It is a matter of public interest that those 

decisions, in the aggregate, be intelligent and well informed. To this end, the free flow 

of commercial information is indispensable.” 

In other words, when the government plays word games to prevent businesses 

from communicating truthfully about their products, consumers are ultimately the 

ones who suffer. 

Arkansas’ law, and similar laws in other states, must be struck down. ■

‘A CALL TO ACTION’ 

BIDEN SAYS PRESIDENT 

TRUMP’S FAILURE TO 

CONDEMN THE RACISTS AT 

CHARLOTTESVILLE PROMPTED 

HIM TO RUN 

At a fundraiser at the home of Pasadena City 

Councilman John Kennedy, former vice president 

and Democratic presidential frontrunner 

Joe Biden said he knew he had to get into the 

presidential race after the white supremacist 

rally in Charlottesville two years ago. 

“I could not stay on the sidelines anymore,” 

Biden told about 70 supporters gathered at Kennedy’s 

home on July 19, according to media pool 

reporting on the event. “It was a call to action.” 

Attendees included former US Labor Secretary 

and current LA County Supervisor Hilda 

Solis; Conway Collins, the president and CEO of 

GRACE, an antipoverty nonprofit in Pasadena; 

and Rocky Collis, an attorney whose clients 

have included the US Women’s Soccer Players 

Association. Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his 

wife Melissa Cohen also attended. 

“This election is about determining what 

kind of America we want going forward,” Kennedy 

told the Pasadena Weekly. “Democrats 

are seeking to renew and build an America 

where the rule of law is the foundational 

element of our democracy; where we make 

avenues available for the least in society to succeed; 

where poor people, black white, brown, 

red, yellow come together to fight oppression.” 

Pasadena has become a main stop for 

Democratic presidential candidates. So far, 

Sens. Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and 

Kirsten Gillibrand have visited the city, along 

with Washington Gov. Jay Islee and former 

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 

Julian Castro. 

Trump has recently faced massive criticism 

for telling four congresswomen of color to go 

back to where they came from. 

Three of the four freshman congresswomen 

are from the United States, except for Ihlan 

Omar who was born in Somalia. Days after the 

attack, Trump supporters chanted “Send her 

back,” at a campaign rally in North Carolina. 

The president later condemned the chant, and 

claimed he tried to stop it, but video showed 

he stood for nearly 15 seconds as the crowd 

chanted. 

One week before the first presidential 

debate, Biden came under fire after he declared 

he had worked with racist lawmakers. 

Biden recalled how Mississippi Sen. James 

Eastland called him “son” but not “boy.” Yet 

they worked together on legislation. 

In the debate, Harris scored political points 

after chiding Biden for opposing busing in the 

1970s.

RUBBING OUT 

ROUNDUP 

COUNTY SUPERVISORS FORMALLY BAN THE USE OF 

GLYPHOSATE-BASED PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ROUNDUP 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN AND REMALI DE SILVA 

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has permanently 

banned county departments from using a controversial weed 

killer linked to cancer in several lawsuits. 

“With environmental and health concerns as top priority, the 

Board of Supervisors has put a permanent ban on glyphosate-based 

products,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said in 

a statement issued Monday. “We are awaiting a report back from 

our county departments at the end of the year that will determine 

alternatives and any circumstances where alternatives are not 

viable.” 

Roundup, an easily obtainable herbicide sold in hardware 

stores and once used by most municipalities, contains glyphosate,

a chemical that is either banned or restricted in communities in 13 

states, including California. 

On Monday, Maria A, Katas, Caltech director of housing, said the 

school will stop using “pesticides” and is committed to any needed 

clean-up efforts after complaints surfaced that the school used a 

generic version of Roundup at a school housing site. The Pasadena 

Star-News on Sunday reported the pesticide was sprayed at Caltech. 

That news came two months after the Board of Supervisors 

directed the Department of Public Works, in conjunction with County 

Counsel, the Departments of Public Health, Parks and Recreation, 

Beaches and Harbors, and the Agricultural Commission to convene 

a panel of experts that could hire a consultant to explore options for

vegetation management, especially in areas where 

the use of traditional alternatives to glyphosate-based 

products is problematic due to challenges with access, 

safety and habitat restoration. 

The board, which voted for the ban on May 21, will 

also continue to solicit recommendations from the 

public on possible alternatives to the use of glyphosatebased 

products for vegetation management. 

The departments will report back to the 

supervisors with recommendations and any feasible 

alternatives for the control of vegetation within 180 

days. 

In March, the Board of Supervisors first approved 

a motion by Barger to temporarily stop county 

departments from using the herbicide that contains a 

chemical believed to cause cancer while a study was 

conducted and viable alternatives were explored. 

The board’s action then came on the heels 

of a story appearing in the Pasadena Weekly in 

March revealing Roundup was being sprayed by 

county workers at a heliport near Councilman 

Gene Masuda’s district in northeast Pasadena. 

County officials began meeting to evaluate the use 

of herbicides and pesticides after the newspaper 

spoke with several officials. 

“I think the ban is a good idea,” Masuda told the 

Pasadena Weekly on Monday. “It’s the right thing to do, 

of course. It is poison. Roundup is dangerous stuff to 

have in our soil and in the water.” 

Barger, a cancer survivor, said “I am 

hypersensitive to this issue” at the board’s meeting 

on Tuesday. “There are people who have had 

immune systems compromised, who are more 

susceptible.” 

Barger met with local resident Darian Donner, 

whose complaint about the herbicide’s use near her 

home led to the moratorium, to discuss the county’s 

use of the popular weed killer. 

Roundup, which has been in use since the 1970s, 

was developed by Monsanto, which was bought in 

2018 by Bayer AG, headquartered in Germany, for 

$62.5 billion. The company has been successfully 

sued three times by non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma 

patients who blame their conditions on Roundup. 

On July 18 a judge issued a tentative ruling 

reducing a $2 billion jury award to a couple after 

finding glyphosate most likely caused their cancer. 

According to Bloomberg News, the ruling could 

“reduce the award by 90 percent or more, putting it 

in the range of $150 million to $250 million.” 

Judge Winifred Smith of the Alameda County 

Circuit Court denied Bayer’s appeal to overrule 

the original $2 billion verdict, but said she was 

“inclined” to reduce the damages. 

While attorneys for Bayer called the jury’s verdict 

“unhinged” back in May, the response to Thursday’s 

tentative ruling was well received. “The court’s tentative 

order proposes changes in the damage awards which 

would be a step in the right direction, but Bayer will 

wait for a final order on the post-trial motions before 

commenting in further detail,” company officials said in 

a statement issued after the ruling. 

THE COUNT 

As of Monday,4,163 days after the war in Afghanistan ended … 

4,423 

American military 

service members 

(0 more than 

last week) have 

been reported 

killed in action 

since the War on 

Terror began in 

2001, according to 

The Associated Press. 

4 

months since the last 

piece of ISIS-held 

territory was 

liberated, 1,000 

US troops 

remain in Syria, 

according to 

Reuters. 

Earlier this month, another Northern California 

judge reduced an $80 million award against Bayer 

to $25 million. All three lawsuits originated in the 

Bay Area. 

Since juries began awarding massive payouts, 

a slew of commercials have popped up on TV 

hawking the product, while law firms have also 

taken to the airwaves searching for possible 

victims. There are currently more than 11,000 

pending cases against Bayer still waiting to be 

adjudicated. It was not immediately known if any of 

those cases stem from claims made in LA County. 

The classification of glyphosate as a possible 

carcinogen has been criticized by the US 

Environmental Protection Agency, which does not 

consider the chemical a cancer-causing agent. The 

state EPA, however, does consider it a carcinogen. 

In April, a state appellate court found that the 

state can require labeling of products containing 

glyphosate herbicide as toxic under Proposition 65, 

also known as the state Safe Drinking Water and 

Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. 

Glyphosate was found in 21 oat-based snack 

products and cereals. Popular among children, 

all but four of these products were found with 

glyphosate levels considered unsafe for children, 

according to CBS News. 

In February 2018 a federal judge temporarily 

ruled against the state’s attempts to require cancer 

warnings to be placed on food products that 

contain traces of glyphosate. 

General Mills, the maker of the oat snacks 

in question, claims that food safety is the “top 

priority” for the company. Pesticides, they claim, 

are used in “the majority of foods we all eat” and 

that “experts at the FDA and EPA determine the 

safe levels for food products,” which their growers 

follow. 

Bayer claims that the glyphosate levels “are 

far below the strict limits established by the 

EPA to protect human health.” According to 

the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit, 

nonpartisan organization dedicated to protecting 

human health and the environment, Bayer has 

a history of “spreading misinformation about 

pesticide residues.” 

The regulations regarding pesticide usage are 

well-established and the glyphosate level, Bayer has 

argued, is well below the recommended safety level. 

Bayer claims that “glyphosate-based herbicides 

will continue to play a key role in helping 

agriculture meet pressing environmental and food 

security challenges as the global population grows 

by an expected two billion people through 2050.” 

Locally, Pasadena city officials stopped using 

Roundup in 2018, according to City Manager Steve 

Mermell. 

All told, there are local and state government 

glyphosate restrictions or bans in place in 13 states. 

Other California cities to take action on use of the 

herbicide include: Los Angeles, Burbank, Carlsbad, 

Encinitas, Thousand Oaks, Irvine and Richmond. n

SOLAR SAIL SUCCESS 

ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO FOR PLANETARY 

SOCIETY’S LIGHTSAIL 2 PROJECT 

BY CAROLINE KIMBEL 

Using solar wind to travel through space has been a 

dream for centuries, first imagined by Johannes Kepler in 

the 1600s. 

On Tuesday, solar sailing took another step toward 

becoming a proven technology when the Pasadena-based Planetary Society’s LightSail 

2 mission team successfully deployed the spacecraft’s solar sail. 

As of noon Tuesday, “All indications are that LightSail 2’s solar sail has deployed 

successfully,” according to a live Internet feed of the mission. “Flight controllers sent 

the deployment command at approximately 11:45 PDT … Telemetry showed the motor 

count increasing as expected, and the motor appeared to halt at the correct time. Light- 

Sail 2’s cameras also appeared to capture imagery as planned.” 

The Planetary Society launched LightSail 1, a test “nanosatellite,” in 2015. The test 

was unable to progress forward because of issues with the engineering. Since then, Cal 

Poly San Luis Obispo students have aided scientists in testing crucial ground station 

operations in preparation for Tuesday’s mission to have the silver sail soak up power 

from the sun while in orbit around Earth. 

Like LightSail 1, LightSail 2 is a citizen-funded project that plans to test the idea of 

harnessing the sun’s photons in order to mobilize a spacecraft. Live coverage of the sail 

deployment at the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo ground station began Tuesday. 

Solar sailing transcends the limitations of space travel by utilizing the sun as an 

inexhaustible source of energy. 

LightSail 2 is focused on becoming the first solar sail launched with the purpose of 

orbiting Earth. Its cube-shaped satellite, or cubesat, is about the size of a loaf of bread 

and carries a boxing-ring-sized solar sail made of Mylar, which is designed to collect the 

sun’s photons. 

The video from mission control at Cal Poly has been live-streamed at planetary.

WHERE’S THE MONEY? 

ATTORNEY CLAIMS WOOTEN’S CHECKS 

FOR LEGAL DEFENSE HAVE BEEN 

BOUNCING 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

High-profile attorney Christopher Darden claims that he 

can no longer defend a man accused of bilking the city of 

Pasadena out of millions of dollars because checks written 

by his wife are not clearing. 

Darden represented Danny Ray Wooten during his criminal trial after Wooten 

was accused of embezzling $6.4 million from city coffers over 11 years. Wooten was 

sentenced to 14 years in prison in November. Tyrone Collins, a local electrical contractor 

who was sentenced to 11 years, was ordered to pay $900,000, according to a statement 

issued by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. 

Darden, a former deputy district attorney, was one of the key figures in the O.J. 

Simpson murder trial in 1994 and 1995. 

“I received checks that were returned insufficient funds,” Darden wrote to the court. 

“Mrs. Wooten has ignored prior correspondence from counsel, but has appeared in this 

court and attempted to represent herself. There is a large outstanding balance with my 

office.” 

The City Council discussed a civil lawsuit against Wooten and his wife, LaVenta, 

during Monday’s closed-session meeting. The two sides are scheduled to appear in court 

on Aug. 7 for a status conference. 

Last November, a jury found Wooten guilty of 53 counts that included embezzlement 

and misappropriation of public funds. Collins was convicted of all 20 counts against him 

for those types of crimes. 

The city was only able to connect Wooten and Collins to $4.6 million of the missing 

$6.4 million taken in the embezzlement. 

Wooten worked in the Public Works Department, which was in charge of placing 

underground all of the city’s utilities. Between 2004 and 2014, Wooten created false 

invoices in the Public Works Department, which was in charge of placing underground 

wiring for all of the city’s utilities. 

Invoices were filed for work done by Collins Electric and money was given to Collins. 

In many cases the invoices claimed work was performed at addresses that do not exist. 

Wooten was able to authorize the payments from an underground utilities fund 

account. By doing this over time, prosecutors said Wooten embezzled $6.4 million 

through that account. 

City employees signed off on the invoices and returned them to Wooten instead of 

turning them in themselves. 

After getting the appropriate signatures, Wooten would then add extra numbers to 

the invoices. 

According to prosecutors, Wooten who is a minister, created fake bank accounts 

for two churches, but he was the only person listed on those accounts, according to LA 

County Deputy District Attorney Bjorn Dodd, who prosecuted the case. 

Dodd said Wooten gave some of the stolen funds to Collins.

A personal quest to 

learn where eggs 

bought in local stores 

originated takes 

interesting turns 

STORY AND PHOTOS 


Shoppers maneuver around me as I inspect cartons of eggs in the refrigerated 

section of a local grocer. Blue Sky. Chino Valley Ranchers. Eggland’s. Full Circle 

Organic. Happy Egg. Heritage Breed. Kroger. Nichols. Organic Valley. Pete and 

Gerry’s. Simple Truth Organic. 365. Vital Farms. Cage free … free range … hormone-free 

… soy-free … omega-3 … all natural … dark yolk … farm fresh … organic … pasture 

raised … certified humane … ethical eggs … distributed from — what, Cincinnati? 

Texas? Missouri? 

Where are these eggs from? 

That scene plays out repeatedly, with differing brands, prices and varieties, at 

Ralph’s, Stater Brothers, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, other area grocers and neighborhood 

markets. Queries at certain stores are inadequately addressed. For the record, 

I’m an avid cook but no egg connoisseur. What’s driving these expeditions is curiosity; 

I simply want to know where and how my food was raised. Obtaining that information 

should not be complicated. Like many consumers I’m striving to make responsible 

choices mindful of sustainability and humane treatment of chickens, and which support 

local farmers. Buying locally sourced food is common sense. 

Defining “local” is tricky. We’ll come to that. 

The Cornucopia Institute, a nonprofit organic industry watchdog and information 

resource for consumers and small farmers, helpfully publishes a Scorecard that rates 

brands of eggs according to the extent of outdoor access chickens are given, average 

flock size, and indoor space given each bird, among other criteria. But unless you obtain 

them from a neighbor or nearby farm, ascertaining where eggs were actually raised can 

be challenging. That is not inconsequential if you are concerned about carbon footprints, 

or salmonella outbreaks and groundwater contamination at commercial farms, or the 

gases and waste generated at CAFOs, the concentrated animal feeding operations (aka 

factory farms) where most US poultry is unsustainably confined. (According to the Environmental 

Protection Agency, CAFOs can hold fewer than 9,000 to more than 82,000 

laying hens, depending on the operation’s size and the type of manure handling system 

utilized.) 

Egg expiration dates are generally printed on carton ends. Alongside that date there 

should also be printed a “P,” indicating the plant number of the facility where the eggs, 

which arrive from different farms, were packaged. According to the US Department of 

Agriculture, eggs can be sold for up to 30 days after packaging. Once purchased, “you 

can store fresh shell eggs in their cartons in the refrigerator for four to five weeks” beyond 

their packaging date. But color, flavor and texture don’t always remain consistent 

for the duration. 

Randomly selecting a carton of eggs at a store, I check the “sell by” date and plant 

number where the eggs were packaged. It takes a while to track down the location, 

thanks to some dead website links, but the Plantbook Query Page for the USDA’s Agricultural 

Marketing Service’s Livestock and Poultry Program yields information: the eggs 

were packaged in Kalona, Iowa. I venture to five local stores to research where more 

randomly chosen egg cartons from several brands were packaged; four out of 10 were 

packaged in California (in Colton, Denair, Turlock and Wasco). The others bear plant 

numbers from packaging centers in Tonopah, Arizona; Berryville, Arkansas; Kalona and 

Harris, Iowa; Chase, Kansas; and Elizabeth, New Jersey. 

There are 2,435 miles separating Elizabeth from Los Angeles, and 1,812 miles 

between LA and Kalona. Calculating the fuel used to transport them in a refrigerated 

truck from muggy New Jersey or muggy, buggy Iowa to temperate Pasadena, and how 

that shapes their carbon footprint and cost — and freshness — is for another story on 

another day. It’s presently enough to note that, according to the American Egg Board, US 

egg production totaled 8.56 billion during February, and California is the nation’s sixthlargest 

egg-producing state (after Michigan, ahead of Minnesota). So why ship eggs here 

from the East Coast, the South, and the Midwest? What long-term benefit can Golden 

State consumers derive that outweighs environmental costs and frequent nutritional 

compromises caused by antibiotic-boosted feed? Sure, all egg handlers must register 

with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. But. 

My paternal grandfather was an accountant whose clientele in southeastern Pennsylvania 

included some small farmers. A few traded goods for services when times were 

tough, and as a child I was delighted when he’d bear an armload of fragrant berries, 

peppers, regally purple eggplant, and fresh eggs to the dining table. That helped root my 

belief in the value of fresh food, and knowing where it was grown. 

Sustainable Goals 

Amelia McDonald, a self-described “recovering lawyer,” runs McDonald’s Urban 

Farm, a two-acre operation hugging a hillside at the top of Altadena. It’s an active participant 

in what local author Elisa Callow described in “The Urban Forager” as Altadena’s 

“emerging small-farms community.” 

Passing through the farm’s green gates, a cheery barnyard chorus gradually swells 

as McDonald leads the way past fenced gardens of greens, onions, nasturtiums, squash, 

and test plantings. She jokes about how she and her daughter mulch weeds with goat 

poop, while pointing out pens and coops her husband built. “We use no chemicals, no 

pesticides,” she says. “We do everything we can to be as sustainable as possible. We don’t 

have a compost pile because the chickens eat everything.” She says the farm is home to 

“50 to 99 poultry at any given time” (99 is their limit) and 14 playful dwarf Nigerian goats 

Brown Leghorn chicken at McDonald’s Urban Farm. 


Rainbow eggs from special breeding program at McDonald’s 

Urban Farm. Per Amelia McDonald, dark brown eggs are from 

Black Copper Marans hens, blue eggs are from Easter Egger 

hens, and the green are what they breed for, laid by “Olive 

Egger” hens. 

Year-old laying hens looking on as Amelia McDonald scoops up 

handful of feed at McDonald’s Urban Farm. 

(including seven born in April who waste no time demonstrating 

their cuteness). 

Now, when “everything’s blooming,” their chickens dine 

on “greens, grass, bugs” daily; in winter, they eat mostly 

grain. “We get about 50 or 60 eggs a day. I choose chickens for 

egg productivity as well as how they look,” she says, opening 

a pen door. “Some of these are special breeders. … We give 

our chickens names, the ones that are not getting eaten.” 

McDonald says they are permitted for selling poultry meat, 

but they were unable to purchase Red Ranger chickens or 

turkeys this year because of the quarantine. 

(A February outbreak of Virulent Newcastle Disease, 

which is fatal for birds but has no or very little effect on 

humans, prompted state officials to declare a poultry quarantine 

in LA, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. More 

than a million birds have been euthanized, most of them 

from commercial operations.) 

McDonald introduces me to her “big layers,” including 

a flock of handsome Speckled Sussex chickens (“Prince 

Harry” and “Meghan Markle 1 through 10”), a Cinnamon 

Queen named Freddie Mercury, a Silkie called Liza Minnelli, 

and a kooky-looking Frizzle chicken. A Black Copper Marans 

rooster crows suddenly, as if on cue. I notice wrinkled 

patches of white skin angled below one hen’s eyes; they’re 

earlobes, and suggest what color her eggs will be. 

Down a hay-strewn path, in the next pen, McDonald 

calmly retrieves eggs from a basket: beige, brown, cream, 

blue- and olive-tinged. Their rustic palette of colors is reminiscent 

of an Andrew Wyeth painting. A black-eared white 

rabbit nibbles near the feeder; in the opposite corner, two 

red-combed brown hens take dust baths. 

“We have never had mites, although it’s OK if someone 

did; it happens with backyard chickens. But they take a dust 

bath and it keeps them healthy,” she explains. “This is the 

problem with conventional egg farms. They’re in cages, they 

have no access to dirt, and of course they’re going to get 

mites; of course they’re going to get sick; then you have to 

give them antibiotics, and then the food that’s coming out of 

them is not OK.” 

Therein lies a hidden cost of “cheap” food we consume 

without due consideration of its provenance. 

She plunges her scooped hands into a metal pail of 

organic, whole-grain, non-GMO chicken food from nearby 

Fable Farm & Feed as birds look on intently. “We could eat 

this — this is peas, lentils, seeds, wheat,” she says. “This is 

the most important thing to me. 

“These guys go through 150 pounds of feed a week. It is 

the end of June, and I am just about to break even on eggs to 

feed. Not including straw, not including new nesting boxes, 

not including time, water, labor, feeders.” 

What Is Local? 

To help support the farm, McDonald teaches classes 

(including a cooking class Aug. 17, and a goat class in the fall; 

info will be available at mcdonaldsurbanfarm.org). “That’s 

a way we connect with our community and say, ‘You don’t 

have to be on two acres; you can have six chickens in your 

backyard. You can do this.’” She will also participate (as will 

Callow) in “Women in Food,” an event moderated by Armory 

Center for the Arts Executive Director Leslie Ito at Pasadena 

Central Library on Sept. 26. 

McDonald says she’s a “mostly self-taught” farmer, 

although her “recovering hippie” parents grew produce while 

she was growing up in Eagle Rock in the ’70s. She and her 

husband bought this property in 2012 and started the farm 

in 2015. For two-and-a-half years, until January, she hauled 

eggs, fruits and vegetables one mile to the Altadena Farmers 

Market in a golf cart (“a zero fossil fuel trip”). 

Now she makes Wednesday and Saturday deliveries to 

private clients in her car; at Mother Moo Creamery in Sierra 

Madre, cartons are stamped with the Julian date on which 

the eggs were laid. (Per the USDA, Julian dates are codes 

“starting with January 1 as 001 and ending with December 

31 as 365.”) Saturday customers receive eggs “laid since 

Wednesday,” she says; Wednesday customers take delivery 

of eggs “laid since Saturday.” She often hashtags posts to 

the farm’s Instagram account “#doyouknowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom” 

and “#knowyourfarmer.” 

For a while last year I bought eggs at a Pasadena farmers 

market — two dozen, sandwiched between rubberbanded 

eggshell flats, open at the sides. The first time, I asked if they 

were from a local farm. “Yes.” Where? “Ontario.” Thirty-five 

miles away. I ask McDonald to define “local.” 

“You have to look at everything you’re bringing into your 

food system as a whole and balance it out. Maybe you can’t get 

super local meat, but you can get eggs within your town, or 

five miles away. Let’s say you live somewhere where you can’t 

get the eggs so you’ve gotta go 10 miles; maybe that’s OK if 

you’re butchering your own chickens. Local is five feet for me, 

for the majority of our food, but that can’t be for everyone.” 

She mentions the 100-mile diet. The idea was popularized 

by “The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating,” 

Canadian authors’ Alisa Smith & J.B. MacKinnon’s 2007 

chronicle of eating only foods produced within 100 miles 

of their apartment. 

“The 100-mile diet is a sustainable goal for people in the 

United States, given our broken system,” McDonald says. 

“Some people consider that local, even hyperlocal.” 

Closeness and Community 

In Pasadena, the industrious Dervaes family’s Urban 

Homestead is an enterprising community hub. They sell 

produce, honey and eggs raised in the 1/10-acre-sized garden 

surrounding the early 20th-century Craftsman-style house 

they’ve occupied since 1985. They host classes (beekeeping, 

bread baking, preserve making) and occasional acoustic 

concerts and tours. Proceeds support the Homestead. 

Foothill communities are home to many backyard 

farmers. In Sierra Madre, I pass two teenage girls selling 

fresh lemonade from a corner stand on my way to visit a 

woman who’s been raising hens in her backyard for decades. 

As a stay-at-home mom who was organic enough to 

make her own baby food, she originally wanted chicken 

fertilizer for her organic garden and “to be close to the 

earth.” Now, instead of 17 to 20 hens she keeps only two 

Barred Rocks, one Buff Orpington, and a rescued Rhode 

Island Red. They live in a tidy fenced enclosure alongside 

the garden, tucked nightly into their coop before dark to 

safeguard against bobcats, coyotes and raccoons. They 

provide fresh eggs — and company. 

“I’m a caregiver. I need to take care of something. They’re 

my girls. … They’re daily work and you can’t ignore them. 

The grandkids love them. 

“I probably have $2 eggs,” she says, laughing. “I buy and 

feed them only organic food, because it’s going to me and 

my kids and grandkids. There’s no waste, ever. Instead of 

composting, I give everything to the chickens except potato 

peels; they can’t have anything from the nightshade family 

unless it’s cooked.” 

She sends me off with four eggs collected the day before 

from her “girls.” I watch as she bundles them from her 

kitchen counter into a half-carton adorned with a handcolored 

chicken print, then drops in plump, red and orange 

grape tomatoes from her garden. Back home, I pop one in my 

mouth and it bursts with juice, sweet and tasting like summer; 

in that moment, I time travel back to childhood in South 

Jersey when I would “help” my grandmother select beefsteak 

tomatoes at her favorite farm stands. 

The eggs are pale tan, almost the color of desert 

sand. Gently, I roll one around in my hand, and retrieve a 

jumbo-sized Trader Joe’s egg from my fridge for informal 

comparison. The TJ’s egg is nutty brown, about 20 percent 

larger, and smooth. Store-bought eggs are washed to 

remove any surface film; fresh farm eggs are not sticky, 

but their shells are more tactile. I can’t readily discern 

anything on the tan egg by eyeballing it, but as I run it 

carefully under cold water I feel its skin-like covering dissolve 

between my fingers. 

I crack two of those tan eggs into an oiled iron skillet on 

my stovetop. The whites pool thick and close — they aren’t 

at all runny — and the brilliant orange yolks plop firm and 

round in the center, with a Jello-like bounce. I sprinkle them 

with ground pepper, think of a neighbor’s aptly nicknamed 

fried egg poppies, and flip the eggs with a smile. 

They taste delicious.

We are officially in full summer swing and gallivanting around 

Pasadena is the thing to do. While trying new restaurants is 

literally my job, there are few things that I love more than visiting 

places that are tried and true favorites, whether or not I’ve already been 

there. Perhaps I trust reviews and recognition of restaurants in the city 

too much, but if our readers have nothing but good things to say, I can 

almost guarantee that I’ll love it. It seems as though Kabuki Japanese 

Restaurant is one of those longtime favorites that never disappoints, 

so I knew it was time for another visit. After a day of walking around 

Old Pasadena, a friend and I worked up an appetite and swung by the 

restaurant’s Colorado Boulevard location at around 2:30 — just in time 

to catch some of their amazing lunch specials. 

It wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday afternoon, so we were seated 

at a booth right away. I scoured through the menu and was so hungry; 

it was almost too much of a challenge to narrow down what it was I 

wanted to try. We overheard a waiter explain the lunch specials to the 

couple next to us with such enthusiasm that I knew that would be my best

MORE THAN A MEAL 

couple next to us with such enthusiasm that I 

knew that would be my best bet, not to mention 

the price-per-portion ratio was amazing. 

It was easy to go with the Ninja Deluxe 

($12.95), which comes with chicken teriyaki, 

shrimp and vegetable tempura, and three pieces 

of a California Roll with miso soup, a side salad 

and rice. My friend and I shared the entirety of 

the meal. Miso and the side salad came out first, 

and both were delicious. The miso broth was one 

of the more flavorful soups I’ve had, and I got 

through the entire bowl of salad. 

Next came the remainder of the aptly named 

Ninja Deluxe. The tempura was delicious 

(although you can’t really go wrong with tempura), 

and the chicken serving was a good-sized portion 

alongside the rest of the meal. I don’t do sushi 

often, so this was the perfect combination for 

someone like me. 

My friend ordered the sushi moriawase, which 

was the ideal combination to get a roundup of 

the assorted sashimi that Kabuki serves. It came 

with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, albacore 

and a California roll of six pieces, as well as a 

choice between miso soup or salad. He went with 

the salad. He wasn’t keen on the California Roll 

so he requested to substitute to a Philadelphia 

Roll for an extra dollar, and our waitress agreed. 

The entire meal came to only $14.95 without 

substitution and is a must-try during lunch hour. 

In addition to our combination plates, I ordered 

the California Tempura Roll ($8.95), which is a 

fried California roll served with eel sauce. It was 

clear that we both liked anything of the fried, 

tempura variety, and this fit the bill perfectly. 

Between the two combination plates that 

we shared with one another, and the additional 

specialty roll, we could not ask for more in terms 

of variety, amazing pricing, as well as an overall 

great experience. The fish and shrimp looked and 

tasted amazingly clean, the chicken was flavorful 

and tender, and all of our sides were outstanding 

on their own — not just fillers as is the case at 

many of the restaurants that I’ve frequented. 

We did request a drink menu but our waitress 

didn’t make her way back to take our orders. 

Luckily, we found ourselves too full to add more 

anyway. It would be best to save that for their 

great menu for happy hour, which is between 3 

and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

Small sides ring in at $4.95, $5.95, and $6.95 

and include fried gyoza dumplings, sesame 

chicken, and calamari rings, just to name a few 

of the offerings. They have a short list of some 

of their best classic rolls for $3.50 and $4.50, and 

specialty rolls for $7.50 and $8.50. Happy hour 

drinks include two different cocktail options: 

the Tokyo Mojito ($8.50) or the Sake Sangria, my 

personal favorite for $7.50, and sake, wine, and 

beer. 

Stop by during the day or during the late 

evening hours and enjoy a good meal and drink. 

It’s no wonder Kabuki is such a favorite of 

Pasadena Weekly readers.

JOYOUS JEWELRY 

Pasadena Bead & Design show held at Hilton Pasadena 

Friday through Sunday 

Since 1992, Bead & Design shows have promoted a wide 

diversity of exhibitors, with 2,500 artisans and tradespeople having 

traveled from 50 countries to come together and exhibit their 

work. This weekend, the latest Pasadena Bead & Design show will 

be held at the Hilton Pasadena, located at 168 S. Los Robles Ave., 

Pasadena, bringing together hundreds of exhibitors with a broad 

array of intriguing talks for jewelry aficionados. 

Running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, the event features such 

workshops as “Jingle, Jangle, Bangles!” in which instructor Despina 

“Espie” Buoncristiani discusses her lifelong love of taking apart 

old necklaces and creating new pieces from them. Some hand tool 

experience is helpful but not required, with the workshop taking place from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at a 

cost of $140. 

Another prime talk is “Let’s Face It! Copper Electoformed Pendant,” in which instructor Terry Henry 

will teach all skill levels how to create their own piece of wearable art by using the process of copper 

electroforming to turn porcelain cabochons into pendants. The cost is $135 plus a $75 to $95 materials 

fee. 

The cost for the show is $8 online or $10 at the door. Visit BeadandDesign.com. 

CLEARING THE AIR 

LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva hosts Altadena town hall 

Aug. 1 

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva will host a town hall 

meeting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Altadena Community Center, 730 

E. Altadena Dr., Altadena. The free and public event will provide an 

opportunity for people to have their voices heard. 

Villanueva defeated ex-Sheriff Jim McDonnell in November, 

and becoming the first candidate to oust an incumbent sheriff in 

more than a century. During his campaign, Villanueva vowed to 

kick federal Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents 

out of LA County jails. 

Villanueva retired from the department in February 2018 

after more than 30 years on the job. He last worked as a watch 

commander at the sheriff’s Pico Rivera station, overseeing station deputies. He has never held a command 

position inside the department. 

McDonnell, the former chief of Long Beach police and a 29-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police 

Department, was elected in a landslide in 2014, pledging reform in the wake of a jail abuse and corruption 

scandal that led to the conviction of dozens of deputies and some of the top brass, including former Sheriff 

Lee Baca and former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka.

EMOTIONAL 

SERVICE 

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THE POSITIVE 

EFFECTS OF CONTACT WITH ANIMALS 

Dear Patti, 

My dad is 76 and hasn’t been doing well ever since we lost my mom four years ago. 

He’s been depressed and isolating himself from friends and family. My sisters and 

I have been very worried and decided to get dad a dog. We found a wonderful rescue 

dog that my father named Champ. Ever since, little Champ has been the only thing 

that has lifted my father’s spirits. Unfortunately, Dad now gets anxious if he has to go 

anywhere without Champ. 

Dad’s neighbor told him that he could a get a certificate online to make Champ a 

therapy dog, and then he would be able to take Champ everywhere. My older sister 

believes that the online certificate is a scam and that in order to be legitimate Champ 

would have to become a service dog. My father insists that’s not true. 

I’m confused about what’s legal or not. Champ has been very good for my dad, and I 

don’t see anything wrong with taking him places if it helps dad feel better. 

— Diana 

Dear Diana, 

Many studies have shown the positive effects of contact with animals, such as improved 

energy levels, alleviation of anxiety, and a generalized positive effect on a person’s 

emotional wellbeing. Both Florence Nightingale and Sigmund Freud wrote about the 

emotional benefits that they observed pets had on their patients. Freud observed that the 

presence of his dog Jofi’ encouraged his patients struggling to open up emotionally. In my 

own practice, I often take my rescue dog Daisy with me and have clearly seen how her 

presence helps put patients at ease. 

While you’ve seen the positive effects that Champ has on your father’s mental state, it’s 

important to understand the difference between service animals and emotional support 

animals. 

A service dog is individually trained to perform tasks for someone with a physical, 

sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. In order to qualify for a service 

animal, a person must be disabled in a way that substantially limits them in at least one 

major life function, such as caring for oneself, walking, seeing, or hearing. More minor 

impairments do not qualify. Service animals are trained to work with their handler’s 

disability and must know how to perform tasks on command. Common types of service 

animals include guide dogs for visual impairments, hearing or signal dogs for hearing impairments, 

and psychiatric service dogs that are trained to detect and alleviate psychiatric 

episodes. Providing companionship or protection are not considered appropriate service 

animal duties. 

In your dad’s case, it doesn’t sound like he would meet the disability requirements for 

a service dog. Instead, it might be a good idea for him to get evaluated for an emotional 

support animal. 

An emotional support animal (ESA) provides therapeutic benefits, such as comfort and 

emotional support, to a person suffering from a medically diagnosed mental, emotional, 

or other qualifying disability. Support animals provide companionship and relieve stress, 

loneliness, depression, anxiety, or phobias. However, they do not receive specialized training 

to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities. While service animals must be 

ready to perform specific tasks on cue, an ESA’s job is solely to provide emotional comfort. 

To qualify for an ESA, a person must be diagnosed with a qualifying disability by a 

licensed mental health professional. There are 40 disabilities that can qualify, including 

anxiety, depression, insomnia, and schizophrenia. The mental health professional must 

provide their patient with an ESA letter, stating that an ESA will directly benefit their patient 

in regard to one or more symptoms of his/her disability. The patient should carry the 

letter at all times when out in public with their ESA. 

It is not possible to receive a valid ESA letter without speaking to a licensed mental 

health professional, preferably in person. There are many scam websites that will claim to 

evaluate a person’s need for an ESA online and provide an ESA letter or certification, but 

these are fraudulent. Any website that claims that to determine a person’s need for an ESA, 

without the person speaking to a licensed mental health professional, is unlawful. 

Although no training is legally required for ESAs, it would be preferable for Champ to 

receive basic obedience and conditioning training. Champ would be expected to be under 

your father’s control at all times and perform his therapeutic duties in a non-disruptive 

manner. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not have public access rights to private businesses 

or restaurants. However, many businesses choose to allow ESAs, although they may ask 

to see an ESA letter as a condition of permitting entrance. n

VALLI GUY 

JOHN LLOYD YOUNG TURNS HIS TONY-WINNING 

STARRING ROLE AS FRANKIE VALLI IN 

‘JERSEY BOYS’ INTO A CLASSIC POP 

EXTRAVAGANZA SUNDAY AT THE ROSE 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

No actor in the history of Broadway has managed to make as big an 

impact with one role as John Lloyd Young did with his star turn as 

1960s singing superstar Frankie Valli in the instant smash musical a 

“Jersey Boys.” In 2006, at just 31 years old, he became the only actor to date 

to have received Lead Actor in a Musical Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics 

Circle and Theatre World awards for a Broadway debut. 

He went on to reach double platinum status with the play’s cast album, 

as it attained the rare feat of selling over two million copies, and then went 

on to another milestone when director Clint Eastwood picked him to play 

Valli in the 2014 movie version of the play. Yet Young has been eager to 

introduce himself to his “Jersey” fans and other music lovers, and will do 

so locally with a Sunday night concert at The Rose in Pasadena. 

“Right now, not promoting an album so much as singing from an album 

of retro hits I made and also ‘Jersey Boys,’ a ‘get to know me’ tour outside

John Lloyd Young in Jersey Boys 

of playing Frankie Valli, which is how most 

know me,” says Young. “We do a string of 

dates everywhere, just did San Francisco, and 

have several East Coast dates next month. I 

do a good amount of Frankie Valli songs, but 

also other classics from that era, like ‘Hold 

Me Thrill Me Kiss Me’ by Mel Carter, ‘Lady 

Willpower,’ ‘Unchained Melody.’ It’s a night of 

‘Jersey Boys’ songs, early rock, R&B and doo 

wop.” 

Young landed the coveted role of Valli after 

establishing himself in off-Broadway theater 

in New York City for several years. The play 

had originated at the La Jolla Playhouse before 

heading to Broadway and he had lost out to 

another actor on that early version, but he 

“seized the role and was ready for it” when the 

producers recast it for the Great White Way a 

year later. 

He immediately headed to Vegas to see 

Valli in action after landing the role, but didn’t 

choose to meet the legendary singer. Instead, 

he “took notes on a napkin” while observing 

his performance and then set about getting to 

know Bob Gaudio, who was a fellow member 

of the Four Seasons and thus one of the 

real-life “Jersey Boys,” in addition to being the 

vocal group’s songwriter. 

“I really needed to fly to Vegas because 

YouTube had just debuted so I had no video 

footage to study his face and physicality,” 

recalls Young. “I studied Frankie’s recordings 

because I had to get close vocally, but I had 

a lunch with Bob since I felt someone’s best 

friend would get you closer to the truth than 

the person themselves. 

“The biggest takeaway was he was deeply 

influential in doing the show on Broadway, 

London and the movie with Eastwood,” Young 

continues. “Basically he told me that before I 

even set into a script or rehearsal room, that 

Frankie Valli is a little man with a big heart 

and I think that comes through now in the 

singing. Now I’m not singing as Frankie but 

I’m singing as myself, I’m a little man, I do 

have a big heart, and I put a lot of that into my 

singing.” 

Young played on Broadway for the first two 

years of its 11-year run, and also played six 

weeks on London’s storied West End before returning 

to the Broadway production for a few 

months in 2013. He knew that Valli was “one 

of those once in a lifetime roles, like F. Murray 

Abraham had in ‘Amadeus,’ Dustin Hoffman 

in ‘Tootsie,’ or Ben Kingsley in ‘Gandhi,’” and 

loved “the really cool and huge opportunity to 

play a beloved singer in a movie that could last 

generations like ‘La Bamba’ or ‘The Doors.’” 

“It was very different winning the role for 

Clint, because I had made such an impression 

in the original,” says Young. “It was years 

later when Clint was attached to the movie so 

I was grateful to be remembered and at least 

audition for the movie. But what did it was I 

was back on the show when he was putting it 

together and he went to see me on Broadway 

at my absolute best, and as a result I didn’t 

even have to audition for him. My performance 

onstage was my audition.” 

There have been other amazing experiences 

along the way, as he performed 

with his original Broadway cast mates at 

appearances before Congress and at the 

White House as well. In fact, he made such 

a strong impression on President Barack 

Obama, who had the cast perform at a state 

dinner for the Japanese prime minister since 

it was the PM’s favorite movie, that he was 

appointed to the President’s Committee on 

the Arts and Humanities. 

Young resigned from the commission 

in August 2017 in protest against what he 

deemed President Donald Trump’s “hateful 

rhetoric.” He recently moved to Pasadena, 

making this hometown show easy on his 

schedule. 

“I’m a New Yorker born and bred, so for me 

to be able to go to Old Pasadena and have any 

cuisine the world has to offer at so many of 

those restaurants, IPic movie theater, and the 

South Pasadena farmer’s market is a real joy,” 

says Young. “I joined Michael Feinstein for the 

season finale at the Arboretum last year, an 

easy car ride from my house. I’m a Buddhist, I 

speak Mandarin and there’s a lot of Mandarin 

in San Marino, so I feel really at home.” n 

John Lloyd Young performs at 9 p.m. Sunday at The Rose, 

245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $28 to $58. Call

TRAX BY BLISS 

ANGIE MCMAHON, Salt (Dualtone): 

HHHH 

The Australian singer-songwriter is self-assured 

enough not to crowd her smoky alto with 

anything but her electric guitar and spare drum 

fills for opening track “Play the Game.” That sets 

expectations for brooding atmosphere, which are 

then upended when drums turn stormy during the 

wary “Soon,” but surprise is built into this 11-track 

set. McMahon has a knack for composing strong, 

melodic pop songs that capture the duality of desire 

and defeatism with concise honesty, conveyed 

in shimmering tones. Highlights: the ingratiating 

“Slow Mover,” “Pasta” (“How am I simultaneously 

on top of someone’s pedestal/ And also underneath 

someone else’s shoe/ Oh, isn’t it a shame about 

the view”). RIYL Laura Jean Anderson, Phoebe

WEST AFRICAN HIGHLIFE FUSION TO MOROCCAN LOUNGE TUESDAY 

Ibibio Sound Machine frontwoman 

Eno Williams sings 

more in English than on 

previous recordings during 

“Doko Mien,” the album the UK 

octet released here in March, but 

that did not signal a shift away 

from the Nigerian folk tales or 

West African highlife rhythms 

from which the first-generation 

Londoner has drawn inspiration 

since ISM’s self-titled 2014 

debut. It’s just another element in 

the collective’s expanding sonic 

palette, which they’re bringing to 

Moroccan Lounge in Downtown 

LA Tuesday night. 

“Nyak Mien” feels like a 

party-time shout across cultures, 

with ululating, reverb-processed 

calls that promptly give way to 

horn blasts, synths, and Ghanian 

guitarist Alfred Bannerman’s 

cheery highlife guitar lines. 

Prince would doubtless have 

approved of dance floor magnets 

like “Wanna Come Down,” “Basquiat” 

and disco-fied title track 

“Tell Me (Doko Mien).” ISM’s 


hip-twitching combination of 

squiggly synths, elastic grooves, 

marching drumbeats, electronic 

bleeps, Afrobeat horns and Bannerman’s 

funky leads instantly 

brings the Purple One to mind, 

while Williams’ smoky warmth 

is occasionally reminiscent of 

Caron Wheeler during Soul II 

Soul’s late-’80s heyday, especially 

during “Kuka” or when Williams 

invokes the hypnotic title phrase 

of “I Know That You’re Thinking 

About Me” or turns inward for 

“Quiet” (from ISM’s captivating 

2017 album “Uyai”). The swaying, 

bilingual “Guess We Found 

a Way” at album’s end comes 

across like a declaration of 

universal soul: “Guess we found 

a way to speak to you/ Guess we 

found a way to say what’s true/ 

To say what’s real.” 

ISM’s one of the more exciting 

bands to storm the global stage 

over the past decade, threading 

together intercontinental 

rhythms and stories of citizens of 

the world. Williams is the undeniable 

musical centerpoint of their 

polyrhythmic fusion. Onstage, 

she’s a commanding presence, 

fronting the colorfully garbed 

ensemble like the most joyful 

of no-nonsense divas, dancing 

and smiling wide while singing 

with enough fervent emotion that 

words sometimes feel superfluous. 

That said, unless you speak 

Ibibio it won’t be obvious that 

the indignant “Give Me a Reason” 

(from “Uyai”) protests Boko 

Haram’s notorious kidnapping 

of 276 schoolgirls. There’s no 

mistaking her demands or message 

during the Donna-Summerwould-be-proud 

anthem “She 

Work Very Hard” or the terrifically 

funky “I Need You to Be Sweet 

Like Sugar (Nnge Nte Suka).” 

Don’t be surprised if Angelenos 

sing along on Tuesday. n

DELBERT MCCLINTON AND SELF-MADE 

MEN + DANA, Tall, Dark, & Handsome 

(Hot Shot): HHH½ 

Backed by the Self-Made Men from 2017’s “Prick 

of the Litter” plus saxophonist Dana Robbins, the 

Texas roadhouse king sounds like he’s having more 

fun than he’s known in years, energized by jazz and 

swing elements spicing his trademark blues-soulrock 

mix. Grittily expressive, he dips into standardstyle 

balladry (“Any Other Way”) and darker twists 

(“Temporarily Insane”), while his sly humor zings 

through “If I Hock My Guitar” and “No Chicken on 

the Bone,” the latter a sprightly showcase for pianist 

Kevin McKendree and violinist Stuart Duncan.

ZAC HARMON, Mississippi BarBQ (Catfood): 

HH½ 

Teaming with Stevie Ray Vaughan producer Jim 

Gaines, the Mississippi native delivers meaty guitar 

riffs, sensuous grooves, and feel-good paeans to 

simple joys like companionship and, yes, barbecue. 

Sonically it resembles 2012’s “Music is Medicine.” 

Despite Harmon’s fretwork and smooth croon, 

LA blues fans who’ve followed him since 2003’s 

“Live at Babe & Ricky’s Inn” will likely prefer the 

forthright funkiness of “Make a Dollar Out of Fifteen 

Cents” to slick “Desperate Love.” At Central Avenue 

Jazz Festival in LA Sunday, July 28. zacharmon.com 

LASERS LASERS BIRMINGHAM, Warning 

(LABEL): HHH½ 

Alex Owen describes his songs as “weird country 

music,” which conjures images of beer-fueled 

shuffles and honky-tonking romance, but there’s 

more at work. Melodies and performances are 

ear-catching, and with characters searching 

for answers, balance, and connection, this 

unpretentious set turns out to be a timely response 

to an unsettling, uncertain world. Highlights: 

“Wild Animals” (“When did acting dumb stop 

being so much fun?”), “Lead Me On” with SieSie 

Benhoff, “Emmylou,” and the eerie, steel- and 

reverb-washed title track (“You are no Hemingway/ 

There’s no John Wayne, no matter what they say”).

Farsighted Theater 

A NOISE WITHIN PRESENTS INVISION FESTIVAL, STAGED READINGS 

OF FUTURE PRODUCTIONS, FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY 

As one of the best repertory theaters in 

the nation, A Noise Within has devoted 

more than 25 years to presenting 

elaborate and inventive productions of 

classic plays ranging from the best of 

Shakespeare to “Man of La Mancha” 

and the farce “Noises Off.” This weekend, 

they will be spotlighting several of 

the plays they are considering for the 

future by hosting staged readings of 

several shows in the InVision festival 

from Friday through Sunday. 

ANW is teaming up with some of 

the top ethnic theaters in the Los Angeles 

area to ensure a spirit of diversity 

and inclusion, following the initial 

festival in 2016. The packed schedule 

will begin with a happy hour at 6:30 

p.m. Friday in the ANW lobby, followed 

by two staged readings at 8 p.m.: Branden 

Jacobs-Jenkins’ “Appropriate” by 

ANW and Anton Chekhov’s “The Sinner 

from Toledo” performed by the Latino 

Theatre Company. 

Saturday will feature “Eduardo 

Machado’s “Broken Eggs” at 2 p.m. 

and a second reading of “Appropriate” 

at 5 p.m., with a special dinner 

under the front lawn tent running from 

5 p.m. and lasting long enough for 

“Appropriate” attendees to enjoy the 

meal. The evening will end with the fi rst 

readings of Amiri Baraka’s “Dutchman” 

and Douglas Turner Ward’s “Day of 

Absence” performed by Lower Depth 


Theatre Ensemble in the Lawrence Hall 

rehearsal room and Philip Dawkins’ “Le 

Switch” by ANW at mainstage at 8 p.m. 

Sunday will see ANW produce a 

reading of Lauren Gunderson’s “The 

Book of Will” at 2 p.m., while Lower 

Depth Theatre Ensemble will perform 

second readings of “Dutchman” and 

“Day of Absence” at 5 p.m. before a 

fi nal dinner under the front lawn tent 

from 5:30 p.m. The fest closes out with 

the East West Players of Frances Ya- 

Chu Cowhig’s “Snow in Midsummer” at 

7:30 p.m. 

“The main thing is that a festival like 

this creates a conversation,” says festival 

co-organizer and ANW resident artist 

Deborah Strang. “The last theme was 

‘American Dream,’ so all the shows were 

American plays and the discussions were 

about the playwrights, the plays and how 

they related to one another. 

“This year’s is a vision of the world 

where we all live together in all communities 

— whatever race, gender or 

age,” she adds. “All of them deal with 

that sort of conversation. Everybody is 

welcome to come, and the discussions 

after the shows will have people of 

different backgrounds sitting down and 

speaking with one another. Our patrons 

from the fi rst fest asked when are you 

going to do this again? So we know the 

anticipation for this is great.” 

Another key fi gure in the fest is Kinan 

Valdez, a 25-year ensemble member of El 

Teatro Campesino who will be directing 

the LTC’s production of “The Sinner from 

Toledo.” The play asks the question: If 

you were forced to choose between the 

love of your life and absolution for your 

sins, what would you do? Would you save 

your soul or the soul of the one you love 

the most? 

“It’s essentially an adaptation by Oliver 

Mayer of the Chekhov short story, 

and it’s a little-known short story that 

he thought would be excellent source 

material and it has relevance in this day 

and age,” says Valdez. “It takes place 

in the time of the Spanish Inqusition, 

which lasted quite a few centuries. 

“It was a time when Spain had completely 

managed to finish new conquests 

and reclaimed national territories, then 

forcibly removing Muslims and Jewish 

populations and making them convert,” 

continues Valdez. “In this day and age, 

there’s this spread of reactionary impulses. 

It’s a piece that refl ects that, and 

that’s the power of theater.” ■ 

The InVision Festival takes place from 6:30 

p.m. Friday through Sunday night at A Noise 

Within, 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena. 

Admission to each reading is free, with the

‘Hollywood’ Fantasy 

QUENTIN TARANTINO’S “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD” 

MIGHT BE OVERLONG, BUT IT STILL HAS SOME MAGIC 

There’s a strange allure hidden beneath the surface of 

some of Quentin Tarantino’s most popular films: his 

willingness to audaciously rewrite history and play 

games with time in order to achieve a happy ending despite 

the bleakest of circumstances. 

In “Django Unchained,” Jamie Foxx’s title character 

got to unleash hell upon his slave owners and exact brutal 

retribution in a way that few if any real-life slaves were able 

to achieve. And in “Inglourious Basterds,” a ragtag team of 

soldiers were able to wipe out Hitler and his highest circle 

of Nazis in a blaze of fiery glory. 

In his latest film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” the 

writer-director plays fast and loose with one of the most 

gruesome mass killings in modern times on the eve of its 

50th anniversary: the murder of pregnant actress Sharon 

Tate and four of her friends on Aug. 8, 1969 by members of 

Charles Manson’s psychopathic cult. 

“Hollywood” centers its focus primarily upon two 

fictitious side characters — a fading 1950s-era TV Western 

star named Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his best 

friend and stuntman, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) — who are 

slowly slipping down the drain of the film and TV industry 

a decade after their prime. Rick at first is in denial about 

his fall from being the heroic star of a series called “Bounty 

Law” in the late ’50s to being a guest bad guy on sporadic 

TV series at the time of the movie in 1969. 

As Rick veers between a falsely strong front and 

frequent crying jags, both compounded by too much liquor, 

Cliff is carefree and laughing his way through life. But 

when Rick gets told by a producer (Al Pacino) that his only 

shot at regaining stardom lies in heading to Italy to make 

Westerns and James Bond knockoffs, both men face a fearful 

look at reality. 

Meanwhile, real-life actress Sharon Tate (Margot 

Robbie) is on the rise, and lives next door to Rick with 

her acclaimed director husband Roman Polanski. Rick 

believes that if he can just get a chance to interact with the 

power couple, they would give him the opportunity to be a 

star again. 

The third main storyline follows a mysterious group of 

young women whom Cliff keeps running into while driving 

around Hollywood. When he agrees on the third sighting to 

give one particular woman a ride to where she lives under 

the rule of Charles Manson at a place called Spahn Ranch, 

he realizes something very strange and very wrong is looming 

among that group in the hills. 

Tarantino ultimately weaves these three highly disparate 

strands together in a very bizarre, action-packed 

Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood “ 

alternate reality in its final half hour. The sequence is funny 

and exciting, but it left a funny taste in my mouth when 

considering that the film is in a way making light of a horrific 

situation. 

If you don’t mind a movie bending reality on a tragic 

circumstance to create a happy ending, you’ll be fine with 

its approach. If you think that tragedies are sacrosanct, 

you won’t. 

That said, “Hollywood” continues Tarantino’s tradition 

of drawing iconic performances out of his leads, with 

DiCaprio and Pitt clearly having a blast playing these two 

good ol’ boys while still showing layers of emotional depth 

at unexpected moments. DiCaprio in particular is fun to 

watch as he reveals his impressive comedic abilities in a 

tightrope performance that recalls his excellent work in 

“The Wolf of Wall Street,” and the pairing of perhaps the 

two top movie stars of our times is an ingenious delight. 

Robbie as Tate has less to do, as she’s mostly seen as a 

sweet party girl who happens to be landing some key roles 

and spends a big chunk of her screen time watching herself 

in a movie at the Bruin Theatre in Westwood, soaking up 

the laughter of the audience around her. The Manson cult 

members are mostly ciphers, with Manson barely appearing 

onscreen at all. 

The fact that the Tate and Manson cult stories are 

relatively sparse in the movie poses some structural problems 

that make them of less interest than they should be. 

Tarantino also weakens the film by indulging his overlong 

plot to a punishing 165 minutes (that’s two hours and 45 

minutes, folks!), with at least four major scenes seeming to 

be 10 or 15 minutes long when they should have been three 

to five minutes, tops. 

Yet, in considering the film overnight before writing 

this review, I wound up with a greater appreciation for its 

unique vibe and strange sense of optimism. There is an 

incredible amount of attention to detail throughout, with 

Tarantino’s most enjoyable soundtrack since “Pulp Fiction,” 

a terrific soundscape utilizing classic radio ads from 

the period and amazing set design that truly transforms 

Hollywood back to 1969. 

It’s also a kinder, gentler film than one would expect 

from this master of fast-bursting graphic violence (well, until 

the finale, which is gruesomely funny nonetheless) and 

one that those seeking fun characters, an unpredictable 

plot and the ability to sit for nearly three hours in a theatre 

should enjoy. n

project unless currently registered 

and qualified to perform public work 

pursuant to Labor Code Section 

1725.5. It is not a violation of Labor 

Code Section 1771.1 for an unregistered 

contractor to submit a bid that 

is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the 

Business and Professions Code or by 

Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public 

Contract Code, provided the contractor 

is registered to perform public

to compliance monitoring and 

enforcement by the Department of

on the job will be required 

to take all reasonable steps necessary 

to avoid inconvenience and disruptions 

to the Project site’s neighbors. 

The Pasadena City Noise Ordinance

impact mitigation plans may be 

required in connection with hauling, 

cranes, and other activities that have 

the potential to excessively disrupt 

traffic flows. 

Performance and Payment Bonds: 

The selected Contractor shall furnish 

to the City within fifteen (15) calendar

a Faithful Performance Bond and 

Payment Bond, each in the amount of

the insurance described in Exhibit 

A of the Agreement.

Deposit in Lieu of Retention: Pursuant 

to Section 22300 of the California 

Public Contract Code, the Contractor 

who receives award of the Contract 

may, at its sole cost and expense, 

substitute approved securities equivalent 

to any retained funds withheld by 

the City to ensure performance of the 

Work or, in the alternative, request 

the City make payment of retention 

to an escrow agent. Notwithstanding 

the foregoing, such Contractor shall 

have thirty (30) calendar days following 

award of the Contract to submit a 

written request to the City to permit the 

substitution of securities for retention 

or payment to an escrow agent; failure 

to do so shall be deemed a waiver of 

the right.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If 

you are considering bidding on this 

property lien, you should understand 

that there are risks involved in bidding 

at a trustee auction. You will be 

bidding on a lien, not on the property 

itself. Placing the highest bid at a 

trustee auction does not automatically 

entitle you to free and clear ownership 

of the property. You should also be 

aware that the lien being auctioned 

off may be a junior lien. If you are the 

highest bidder at the auction, you are 

or may be responsible for paying off all 

liens senior to the lien being auctioned 

off, before you can receive clear title 

to the property. You are encouraged 

to investigate the existence, priority, 

and size of outstanding liens that may 

exist on this property by contacting 

the county recorder’s office or a title 

insurance company, either of which 

may charge you a fee for this information. 

If you consult either of these resources, 

you should be aware that the 

same lender may hold more than one 

mortgage or deed of trust on the property. 

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: 

The sale date shown on this notice of 

sale may be postponed one or more 

times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, 

trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 

2924g of the California Civil Code. The 

law requires that information about 

trustee sale postponements be made 

available to you and to the public, as 

a courtesy to those not present at the 

sale. If you wish to learn whether your 

sale date has been postponed, and, 

if applicable, the rescheduled time 

and date for the sale of this property, 

you may call 916-939-0772 for information 

regarding the trustee’s sale 

or visit this Internet Web site http:// 

www.qualityloan.com, using the file 

number assigned to this foreclosure 

by the Trustee: CA-19-852822-CL. 

Information about postponements 

that are very short in duration or that 

occur close in time to the scheduled 

sale may not immediately be reflected 

in the telephone information or on 

the Internet Web site. The best way to 

verify postponement information is to 

attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned 

Trustee disclaims any liability 

for any incorrectness of the property 

address or other common designation, 

if any, shown herein. If no street 

address or other common designation 

is shown, directions to the location 

of the property may be obtained by 

sending a written request to the beneficiary 

within 10 days of the date of 

first publication of this Notice of Sale. 

If the sale is set aside for any reason, 

including if the Trustee is unable to 

convey title, the Purchaser at the sale 

shall be entitled only to a return of the 

monies paid to the Trustee. This shall 

be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive 

remedy. The purchaser shall have no 

further recourse against the Trustor, 

the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s 

Agent, or the Beneficiary’s 

Attorney. If you have previously been
