ELECT MAYOR AND 

CITY ATTORNEY 

No system is perfect, but 

Glendale voters should demand 

a change by our elected officials. 

It is always about character and 

record, and not about ethnic 

background, race, gender, 

religion, etc., that matters and 

makes for a trustworthy elected 

or staff official. 

It is hoped that Glendale 

voters will demand the council 

to place council districts (five or 

seven) and an elected mayor and 

elected city attorney, voted upon 

by all Glendale voters, on the 

March 2020 ballot. This could 

be a good start and direction for 

healing the wounds of fraudulent 

conduct by those in power. 

Having small council 

districts would create a more 

representative and accountable 

form of government. Small districts 

would make it easier for 

council candidates to walk their 

districts and raise campaign 

money. The district council person 

would be closer to the needs 

of his or her constituents. Plus, 

having an elected mayor, voted 

by all Glendale voters, would 

make the mayor’s position more 

important than the present ceremonial 

mayor we have today. 

The elected mayor would vote 

on council issues, hold office for 

four years, unless re-elected, 

conduct all council meetings, 

and be the spokesperson for the 

city. 

Presently, the city manager 

and City Council appoint the city 

attorney, who becomes responsible 

to the council first and then 

the voting electorate. Having 

an elected city attorney would 

make the city attorney responsible 

to the voting electorate first 

and not the City Council. 

Having a strong elected 

mayor and elected city attorney 

would help the most to eliminate 

some of the shenanigans 

we have seen over the past two 

decades at City Hall.

GLENDALE 

PEOPLE AND PETS 

I think it is high time for legislation 

that would require landlords 

to allow pets. Since 1982 

they have been required to allow 

children. It’s a double standard 

because children make more 

noise and cause more damage. I 

know from experience because 

I lived at an apartment complex 

that had noisy children. The 

resident manager’s grandson 

urinated in the parking lot in 

mid-daylight — right in front of 

his grandfather. 

This is an excerpt from the 

American Apartment Owners 

Association (AAOA) about 

whether or not to allow pets: 

Reasons for Pets: Numbers of 

Pet Owners 

If you’re not renting to pet 

owners, you’re missing out on 

a huge portion of the population. 

According to the APPA, 

or American Pet Products 

Association, Americans own 

95.6 million cats and 83.3 million 

dogs. To put that in terms 

of households, 45.3 million 

households own at least one cat 

and 56.7 million households 

own at least one dog. If you 

don’t allow pets, you’re missing 

out on potential renters. 

Reasons Against Pets: Pets 

Damage Property 

The problem most landlords 

face when a tenant moves out 

is the cost of replacing and 

repairing items damaged by 

pets. This includes replacing 

carpets, fi xing scratches on 

doors, chewed items, and general 

damage. This is indeed a 

potential problem, especially if 

the tenant has poorly behaved 

pets. A damage deposit should 

be able to mitigate those issues. 

This reason is very weak. 

That’s what a deposit is for! 

Any damage caused by pets 

gets figured into the deposit. 

Landlord’s Liability 

In some circumstances, 

landlords have been held liable 

for aggressive or vicious 

dogs. For that reason, some 

landlords have restricted the 

breeds to what is outside of 

so-called “dangerous breeds” 

or even have limited size when 

it comes to pets. However, the 

landlord’s liability is limited. 

According to Nolo’s legal 

encyclopedia, the landlord can 

only be held responsible if the 

landlord knew the dog was vicious 

and did not have the dog 

removed, or the landlord cared 

for or kept the dog. 

If you’re concerned about 

the potential dog’s behavior, 

you could insist that the owner 

produce a record of the dog’s 

Canine Good Citizen® title that 

is awarded by the American 

Kennel Club, or AKC. This title 

is offered to all breeds and 

mixed breeds by the AKC and 

demonstrates the dog’s ability 

to behave correctly in a variety 

of different circumstances. 

This does not explain why landlords 

don’t allow cats. In fact, 

there is a dog that doesn’t even 

live here. He lives with people 

who are homeowners and he 

frequently gets out.

•GUEST OPINION• 

BY ROBIN STREICHLER 

EARTH BE DAMNED! 

JEFF BEZOS, SPACE EXPLORATION AND THE DEMISE OF OUR PLANET 

In the guise of sounding environmentally concerned, Amazon founder and 

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has lofty futuristic plans. He explains in a 

recent CBS News interview why he’s pouring much of his fortune into his Blue 

Orbit space-exploration company to move “pollution generating industries” into 

space. 

This idea, suggested as a means to save our planet, is coming from the same 

man who in September purchased 20,000 diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 

delivery vans — not one electric vehicle among them — in stark contrast to 

companies like UPS, which is expanding its electric fleet and using best practices 

to reduce their environmental impact. 

In fact, environmental leadership at Amazon is so bad that over 4,500 

employees are pushing Bezos to stop peddling technology that aids in oil and 

gas exploration and to take a real stand to reduce the company’s massive carbon 

footprint. 

Seen in this light, does Bezos’ seemingly magnanimous rationale for his space 

company’s contribution toward saving Earth still sound right to anyone? 

The fact that the mainstream news media doesn’t even question Bezos’ 

preposterous and misguided priorities and hypocritical actions only underscores 

a collective misunderstanding of the urgency of what realistically needs to be 

done to save our planet. 

With the massive amount of focus and money it would take to move our filthy, 

wasteful ways to space stations, the moon, or other planets, we could instead 

be directing all of those resources toward developing the best nonpolluting 

technologies on Earth. 

I’m as excited as the next person about the idea of exploring space. But 

squandering precious resources on these types of plans at this critical moment 

seems more like a push for short-term profits for private space companies than a 

viable strategy to help save humans and over 50 percent of all species on Earth 

possibly doomed to extinction by the year 2050 if action isn’t taken now. 

The sane priority is to mobilize all hands on deck to save our planet so 

that after we have overcome this crisis we can flourish, create and explore 

humankind’s greatest potentials — even in space. Otherwise, we will surely be 

facing endless years of damage control or even flat-out extinction. 

A recent United Nations report says we have less than 12 years to mitigate 

the most dire effects of global warming. To not only meet but beat that deadline 

will take more cooperation, dedication and talent than any space mission. The 

message to convey is not only that we can do this, but that we must do this. 

The pervasive childlike magical thinking that we have the time and luxury to 

not focus our science, technological and space-related research and development 

on solving our planet’s climate crisis seems to have hypnotized our generation at 

a time that is screaming out for us to take clear and sober action. 

I recently saw “Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show,” now playing in the Lunar 

Dome at the Rose Bowl, a story of human potential exemplified by the Apollo 

missions. Yet, this production also sends a misguided message that Earth’s 

ability to sustain life won’t last very long, so we have to focus on our space 

endeavors to colonize other planets. 

In other words, even though the story celebrates our great achievements in 

space, it simultaneously suggests that we somehow cannot harness the same 

ingenuity to save our own planet. 

How realistic is it to suggest that we can just hop on a spaceship to another 

planet without trying to save our own? That might work in a science fiction film, 

but in reality that type of mindset would only lead to unprecedented suffering by 

all of Earth’s life forms. 

And Mars might be good for explorers and industry, but even in bad shape, 

Earth would still be more habitable. 

These escape-to-space ideations dangerously distract from the real work in 

front of us to clean up our own mess on Earth. 

Suggesting that right now our primary focus should be colonizing other 

planets or building polluting factories in space promotes an unsettlingly and 

apparently widespread sense of normalcy around the concept of mass extinction. 

The Apollo missions conveyed hope for the great feats we can achieve by 

working together. As we celebrate the anniversary of the moon walk, which fuels 

excitement and discussion around future space exploration, let us not forget that 

our innovative spirit is exactly what is needed to help us confront and overcome 

the many problems that we currently face here at home. ■

LOCAL GROCERY STORE 

WORKERS TO RALLY FOR 

MORE PAY 

Grocery store workers will take part in a 

rally at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug.1, in front of 

Ralphs Supermarket, 3601 E. Foothill Blvd. 

The gathering is being held in solidarity 

with other supporters across Southern 

California who will be rallying for higher 

wages at other locations. 

Currently, 60,000 members of the 

United Food and Commercial Workers 

(UFCW) are working without a contract at 

Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons and Pavilions 

grocery stores. 

Pasadena has three Ralphs supermarkets, 

three Vons and two Pavilions. 

The two sides are currently in contract 

negotiations. Grocery store owners tried 

to slash cashier’s pay by 25 percent and 

eliminate payouts on unused sick days, according 

to a story in the Los Angeles Times. 

“With a balanced approach, this agreement 

can be a win for everyone — our 

associates, our communities, and our 

company,” Ralphs President Mike Murphy 

wrote in a statement. 

The union is asking for higher wages 

for its members, as well as better health 

coverage and pensions. It’s also taking aim 

at a two-tier system that places a lower cap 

on wages for food service workers in the 

deli and bakery departments. 

The union voted to strike in June. The 

strike vote was supported by 96 percent of 

the union, but so far employees have not 

walked off the job. 

In 2003, 70,000 employees of Ralphs, 

Vons and Albertsons picketed outside 

stores for four months. Support for the 

employees took a hit at that time after 14 

major wildfires broke out across Southern 

California, including Los Angeles, San 

Diego and Riverside counties. During the 

crisis, residents began stocking up on 

items, leaving the shelves near empty. 

Eighty-six percent of union workers 

voted to ratify a contract that included 

affordable health care benefits for new and 

current workers with no weekly employee 

premiums in the first two years, and only 

nominal payments if needed in the third 

year. 

Employee contributions of nearly $190 

million were used to rebuild the health plan 

reserves and a combined pension fund for 

new hires and current employees.

TENANT REVOLT 

GENTRIFICATION LEADS TO EVICTION FOR MEMBERS OF THE WASHINGTON 16 

BY JAMES FARR 

On Tuesday, June 11, the Inglewood City Council unanimously 

approved permanent rent control, limiting rent increases to 5 

percent annually. It was a victory for the residents of Inglewood 

and a benchmark for surrounding cities, such as Pasadena, 

which shares a similar housing crisis among its renting residents. 

The latest victims of the crisis are the Washington 16, a group of 

tenants of a 20-unit apartment complex located on East Washington 

Boulevard who were served with a no-fault, 60-day notice to 

vacate. 

On Friday, July 26, about 30 people, including the four members 

of the Washington 16 still living in the building, protested in front of 

landlord Jeff Lee’s posh Arcadia home. 

PJ Johnson, who has already moved out of the building, led the 

demonstrators and demanded Lee return tenant deposits and abide by 

the city’s Tenant Protection Ordinance. 

Much like the Inglewood tenants, and so many before them, the 

Washington 16 found themselves in dire need of assistance from the 

Pasadena City Council. 

How It Went Down ... 

Tenants were instructed by council staff to appear at 7:30 p.m. 

Monday, June 10 as their issue was listed as Item No. 21 on the agenda. 

It seemed like an ideal time; it accommodated the residents’ evening 

hours and allowed ample time for people, many of whom had not been 

to a City Council meeting, to become acquainted with the rules and 

procedures. 

Working parents with their children (noted by the council), night 

shift workers who cut into their family and dinner time prior to work, 

and Jose Soriano, a college student who missed the first meeting of a 

summer course so he could attend the council meeting, were among 

THU

the Washington 16 members who spoke. 

Their concerns were unambiguous. Would the city help the 

tenants negotiate with the landlord? Would the city help negotiate a 

longer move out period? Would the city provide financial assistance? 

Specifically, financial assistance with the bridge time — the time 

between when they are paying rent for a place they can’t live in 

anymore and the deposit they have to come up with for their new 

homes. Further, what about the return of their deposits which the 

landlord has to return within 21 days of their last day of tenancy? That 

was something which no one expected the landlord to do in good faith. 

Another question was whether the city was comfortable with forking 

over $5,000 per household to get their residents new accommodations. 

What was the city prepared to do? 

Calling the agenda item before the previously scheduled time, 

or before all of the residents of the Washington 16 had arrived, 

was not only a mistake, but it reinforced the residents’ mistrust 

in the process and lack of confidence in their city leaders. And to 

be honest, while foul language is not ideal in front of children, do 

you know what’s worse? Feeling like your time doesn’t matter and 

getting evicted from your home. Eviction is worse than any fourletter 

word hurled around by a council meeting interloper. 

At least one tenant notified both Council member John Kennedy 

and Vice Mayor Tyron Hampton’s offices regarding their plight. No 

meeting was arranged. No help was provided upon that outreach. At 

least one of the tenants also called city Housing Director Bill Huang, 

and as of that Monday meeting there was no response. The city has the 

info of the building, the tenants who spoke, and those who contacted 

their council members and city departments. One would expect the 

outreach to come from the city, not the other way around. Comment 

cards have contact information. And how else can the city assist?

The tenants want to stay. But 

if they cannot, how can the 

city facilitate housing within 

the budgets of our community 

members? 

The city’s rent ordinance 

forces owners to pay relocation 

fees if they evict tenants 

within 18 months after taking 

ownership of rental unit. 

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. 

Unfortunately, as Washington 16 members learned, 

housing discussions are not approached from a 

tenant’s point of view. The City Council is too full of 

landlords who only view this issue from their own, 

privileged vantage points. This conflict of interest is 

questionable at best and counterproductive in terms 

of keeping Pasadena residents in their homes and 

community. 

Sad Reality 

The results of an investigation conducted by 

Occidental College political science professor Peter 

Dreier and Glendale Community College economics 

professor Mark Maier, “Pasadena’s Tale of Two Cities” 

(PW, Jan. 24), led to three conclusions: 

First, Pasadena remains a city characterized by 

a wide economic divide. Pasadena ranks second 

among California’s 50 largest cities in terms of the 

concentration of income among the wealthiest 

residents and the gap between the richest and 

poorest households. For example, the average 

income of the richest 5 percent of Pasadena 

households ($547,864) is more than 45 times 

greater than the average income of the poorest 20 

percent of households ($12,153). 

Second, the economic chasm has widened since 

they wrote earlier reports. The percentage of lowincome 

households remains the same, while the 

percentage of households with incomes over $200,000 

increased. This trend results in a hollowed out middle 

class. The Pasadena City Council’s decision to adopt 

a municipal minimum wage (currently $14.25 for 

employees of businesses with 26 or more employees 

and $13.25 for employees of other businesses) has 

helped improve the lives of thousands of Pasadena 

workers and their families, but it still remains far 

below what is needed to make ends meet. 

Third, “... Pasadena is becoming more and 

more expensive to live in. City policies are fueling 

gentrification, making it harder for low-income and 

middle-class families to live here,” the report states. 

All of the above were applicable to the Washington 

16. When their refurbished apartments come back 

online, the beginning rent will be $2,000. Too much

for tenants in the complex 

which were comprised of single 

moms, young families, cancer 

patients, and the elderly. Some 

of these tenants, like many 

others, have been in Pasadena 

for generations. What is the end 

game here? 

Moral Values? 

It didn’t take Vallejo Mayor 

Bob Sampayan long to show 

compassion for his fellow 

citizens. Mayor Sampayan said 

in a Vallejo Herald Times article 

that he had spoken with officials 

at a local apartment complex where renovations 

were planned at the facility’s two complexes, 

improvements meant to make them “pencil out” 

financially. Sampayan said he was concerned that 

some percentage of those impacted wouldn’t be able 

to find affordable replacement housing. 

“Here we go again. Displace those who can’t 

afford to make a larger payment for those that can,” 

Sampayan said. 

“So, these are going to become condos and they’ll 

displace over 100-plus Vallejoans that don’t have the 

income to purchase or move. Meet the new homeless 

folks. I’ve got some real problems with that,” he told 

CBS affiliate KPIX. 

“I find this absolutely appalling,” Sampayan said. 

“It may be within the law. People have told me, yeah, 

they are within their rights to do this. But do you have 

any moral values is my question to them.” 

Mayor Sampayan said he met with the new 

property owners and they were now promising to 

slow the process down, hold community meetings and 

offer some assistance to people having to relocate. But 

he said there was no indication that rents would be 

decreased. 

Assembly member David Chiu’s bill to establish 

a statewide anti-rent gouging law to protect tenants 

across California from large rent increases recently 

passed the Assembly. The San Francisco Democrat’s 

bill, Assembly Bill 1482 which caps rent increases 

based on the Consumer Price Index plus 7 percent for 

all rental properties that are not subject to local rent 

control ordinances, is currently being considered by 

the Senate Appropriations Committee. 

The story of the Washington 16 is sad, but 

it’s becoming the norm, a norm that not’s being 

addressed quickly enough by the city of Pasadena. 

If Inglewood could do it before the finalization of 

AB1482, Pasadena should consider doing the same. 

If the mayor of Vallejo can make it a priority to 

establish weekly communication between the city’s 

renters and property owners, Mayor Terry Tornek 

and the rest of the City Council must be compelled 

to do the same. 

Gentrification is the new Pasadena Way, but 

we have got to handle it better as a city … as a 

community. n

BRIEFS 

‘FREEDOM FOR ALL’ 

REP. SCHIFF COMING TO ALL 

SAINTS TO SPEAK AGAINST WHITE 

SUPREMACY 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) will discuss white supremacy 

from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday at All Saints Church, Adam Schiff 

132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena. 

“I will be joining clergy and leaders from diverse faith groups in our community 

to discuss how we can work together to combat bigotry and discrimination, and ensure 

our country continues to be one that promotes values of pluralism, acceptance, 

and freedom for all,” Schiff said in a prepared statement. 

The event comes on the heels of several comments by President Donald Trump 

and a mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival last Sunday that left three people 

dead and 12 people injured. 

“Read Might is Right,” by Ragnar Redbeard, 19 year-old Santino William Legan, 

the shooter, posted on his Instagram page. 

The book, published in the late 1800s, has been described as a white supremacist 

text that promotes anarchy, according to CNN. 

In July, President Trump came under fire after he tweeted that four congresswomen 

of color should “go back to where they came from.” 

Only one of the four freshman congresswomen, Ihlan Omar, is not from the 

United States. 

Days after the tweet, 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. 

Sponsored by the Muslim Public Affairs Counsel, the Islamic Center of Southern 

California, IKAR and All Saints Church, the evening will include panel discussions 

with community and faith leaders in conversation with Schiff. Panelists include 

theologian Andre Henry, Omar Ricci, chairman of the Islamic Center of Southern 

California, Brooke Wirtschafter, director of community organizing at IKAR, Salam 

Al-Marayati, president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and Susan Russell, 

senior associate for communications at All Saints Church. 

“I think this a crucial conversation that the community needs to have on race

LAW OF FORCE 

BILL CHANGES WHEN OFFICERS CAN 

LEGALLY USE DEADLY FORCE 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

A bill designed to give the public more power in holding 

police officers accountable when they use deadly force 

cleared the state Legislature and is headed to Gov. Gavin 

Newsom to sign. 

Assembly Bill 392, the California Act to Save 

Shirley Weber 

Lives, would force officers to rely on de-escalation techniques, such as verbal 

persuasion and crisis intervention methods, instead of resorting to using lethal 

force. 

According to the bill’s author, Assemblywoman Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), 

officers will be able to use lethal force not when they think it is “reasonable,” but 

only when it is “necessary,” and if there are no other options. Prosecutors and 

juries will be charged in each case to determine if lethal force was justified, 

The bill still allows officers to immediately use deadly force in cases in which 

they face imminent danger. 

Weber’s bill was co-sponsored by fellow Democratic Assemblyman Chris 

Holden, a former Pasadena City Council member. 

Under terms of the bill, police can resort to deadly force if “the officer 

reasonably believes, based on the totality of the circumstances, that deadly force 

is necessary to defend against an imminent threat of death or serious bodily 

injury to the officer or to another person,” states the text of the measure, “or 

to apprehend a fleeing person for a felony that threatened or resulted in death 

or serious bodily injury, if the officer reasonably believes that the person will 

cause death or serious bodily injury to another unless the person is immediately 

apprehended.” 

The bill was introduced shortly after two Sacramento police officers 

fatally shot Stephon Clark in March 2018. Police identified Clark as a suspect 

after responding to 911 calls. After chasing Clark into the backyard of his 

grandmother’s home, officers mistook Clark’s cellphone for a gun and shot him 

eight times. 

The Sacramento District Attorney’s office declined to charge the officers, 

claiming the two officers genuinely feared that Clark had a gun, and therefore the 

shooting was justified and the officers “acted lawfully.” 

Clark’s death prompted outrage and calls for reform in the state’s rules on 

police use of deadly force. AB392 made it through the Assembly in May and 

passed through the Senate on July 22 by a vote of 34-3. 

The bill has been changed from its original form in order to gain support from 

the law enforcement community, according to the Sacramento Bee. n 


TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS AGREE: 

PASADENA NEEDS RENT CONTROL 

BY PETER DREIER 

The vast majority of Pasadena voters want rent control and protections for tenants 

against unfair evictions. 

That’s the clear finding of a recent poll conducted by David Binder Research, one 

of California’s most reputable pollsters. 

The scientific survey conducted earlier this year reveals that 69 percent of Pasadena 

voters want the Pasadena City Council to adopt a rent control law that would put an annual 

limit on the amount a landlord can raise the rent. An even larger number of voters 

— 82 percent — support a local law to prevent landlords from evicting tenants without a 

just cause, such as not paying rent, destruction of property, or exhibiting loud or violent 

behavior. 

More than three-quarters (81 percent) of renters and more than half (55 percent) of 

homeowners embrace rent control. Even more — 88 percent of renters and 74 percent of 

homeowners — want the City Council to adopt a just cause eviction law. 

The poll found that an overwhelming majority of voters in each City Council district 

wants the City Council to adopt these two measures. Support for a law to limit landlords’ 

annual rent increases ranges from 58 percent in District 6 (represented by Steve Madison) 

to 80 percent in District 5 (Victor Gordo). Support for a just cause eviction law ranges 

from 74 percent in District 7 (Andy Wilson) to 90 percent in District 5 (Gordo). 

The poll also found widespread support for both measures across all demographic 

groups. For example, 78 percent of 18-38 year olds, 68 percent of 39-54 year olds, 61 

percent of 55-73 year olds, and 62 percent of voters over 74 support rent control. It also 

found strong support among white (65 percent), Latino (78 percent), Asian (74 percent) 

and African-American (76 percent) voters. The poll revealed that 78 percent of Democrats, 

73 percent of those with no party preference, and 37 percent of Republicans support 

rent control. The level of support for a just-cause eviction was even higher among each of 

these groups. 

The poll, sponsored by Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP), surveyed a representative 

sample of 700 registered voters in Pasadena. 

Sleeping Giants 

Last year, tenant and community groups put Proposition 10 on the statewide ballot. It 

would have repealed the Costa-Hawkins Act, passed in 1995, which prohibits cities from 

adopting strong rent controls. Under the current law, landlords can raise rents to market 

levels whenever a tenant leaves voluntarily or is evicted. Proposition 10 would have 

returned power to cities by allowing them to set their own rent control rules. 

The real estate industry spent $75 million to defeat Proposition 10, most of it used to 

perpetrate a confusing propaganda campaign designed to scare homeowners and confuse 

tenants. Even so, about 55 percent of Pasadena voters supported Proposition 10. 

But the defeat of Proposition 10 may have backfired by unleashing a dramatic revival 

of tenant activism at the local level across California. 

That local activism is creating pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature 

to address the housing crisis. One bill that is gaining momentum is AB 1482, an 

“anti-rent gouging” measure that, similar to a new Oregon law, would make it illegal for 

landlords to raise rents more than 7 percent, plus the Consumer Price Index, in one year. 

It also includes a provision that would only allow landlords to evict tenants with “just 

cause.” Housing activists consider the bill too moderate —— the CPI averages about 2.5 

percent in California, it exempts buildings constructed in the past 10 years, and it would 

expire in 2023 — but they view it as an important first step. In early July the Assembly 

passed the bill, with Pasadena Assemblyman Chris Holden in support. The Senate will 

soon vote on the bill and housing activists are hoping that Sen. Anthony Portantino will 

cast a “yes” vote. 

But Pasadena officials shouldn’t avoid dealing with the housing crisis by waiting for 

the state government to act. 

Cities still have the authority to pass tenant protection policies that can provide more 

security and stability to vulnerable renters and protect the existing inventory of affordable 

rental housing. Unlike Proposition 10, the Binder Research poll was not confusing. 

It asked voters two straightforward questions: Do you want the Pasadena City Council to 

adopt a rent control law and just-cause eviction law? 

Of course, the fact that Pasadenans overwhelming support these two policy ideas 

doesn’t mean that the City Council will adopt them into law. For that to happen, public 

opinion has to be transformed into political activism. 

It won’t be an easy fight. The real estate industry — including landlords, developers, 

bankers and contractors — is the largest contributor of campaign donations. Not one of 

the Pasadena’s City Council members is a tenant. Some own rental property. Some may 


have swallowed the real estate industry’s propaganda that tenants’ rights laws are a bad 

idea. 

Local politicians haven’t felt much pressure because renters have not been well-organized. 

Their voices have rarely been heard in the corridors of political power and in the 

media. 

But that is changing. Tenants are now the sleeping giants of American politics. Around 

the country, renters — middle class as well as poor — can’t afford to buy a home. Faced 

with the prospect of being long-term renters, they have their backs against the wall. 

They’ve become better organized and bolder, voting in larger numbers, and engaging in 

protests and even civil disobedience to highlight their grievances. 

Tenants’ rights have become hot-button issues in a growing number of cities and 

states. Oregon recently passed a statewide rent control law. Tenants in New York City 

won a major victory that strengthened the local rent control law. Housing advocates in 

Washington State, Massachusetts, Illinois and elsewhere are gaining momentum for rent 

control. 

We haven’t seen such an upsurge of tenant activism in California since the late 1970s. 

Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Oakland, West Hollywood, and San Francisco have 

long had some form of rent control and just-cause laws, but a growing number of cities 

have joined them, including Beverly Hills, East Palo Alto, Emeryville, Glendale, Hayward, 

Maywood, Mountain View, Palm Springs, Richmond, San Diego, San Jose, Thousand 

Oaks, and Union City. 

Some of these victories occurred in the past few months. After four years of organizing, 

the Uplift Inglewood coalition recently persuaded the Inglewood City Council to pass 

a permanent rent control law along with a just-cause eviction policy and tenant relocation 

ordinance. Rents are capped at 5 percent per year. In Culver City, the City Council voted 

4 to 1 to adopt a one-year rent freeze and to consider permanent caps on rent hikes. The 

Long Beach City Council recently passed a tenant relocation ordinance that requires 

landlords to pay tenants up to $4,500 when she/he increases rents more than 10 percent 

or the renter is evicted without cause. Alameda adopted a just cause law and permanent 

rent control. Hayward adopted mandatory rent mediation and expanded its just cause 

protections. Other grassroots campaigns are underway in Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Concord, 

El Cerrito, Santa Barbara, Glendale, Santa Ana, San Diego, and other cities to adopt 

or strengthen tenant protections. 

Victims of Gentrification 

Pasadena is ripe for a revival of tenant activism. In fact, it has already begun, which 

isn’t surprising, given the magnitude of the housing crisis. 

Over half (56 percent) of Pasadena residents are renters. They are a diverse group. 

Among them, 39 percent are white, 28 percent are Latino, 18 percent are Asian, and 

13 percent are African American. As prices skyrocket, it has become more and more 

difficult to buy a home, particularly so for blacks and Latinos because of years of bank 

redlining and predatory lending. The homeownership rate for African Americans (32 

percent) and Latinos (33 percent) is much lower than for Asians (46 percent) and whites 

(51 percent). Homeowners have twice the household income compared with renters — 

$115,074 to $55,752. 

Pasadena is one of the most expensive places to live in California. The median price 

of a single-family home in Pasadena increased from $680,000 in 2013 to $960,000 in 2018, 

an increase of 41.2 percent. During that same period, the average price of a single-family 

home increased from $919,599 to $1,239,966, a 34.8 percent increase. Many current 

homeowners who purchased their homes a decade or more ago could not afford to buy 

the same home today. 

In the past five years, the median rent for a two-bedroom apartment has increased 

from $2,139 to $2,695, according to Zillow. That amounts to a 26 percent increase — much 

faster than increases in incomes. A family needs to earn $108,000 a year to pay a $2,695 

monthly rent without spending over 30 percent of its income — the rule-of-thumb among 

housing experts. (This doesn’t even include utilities). But three-quarters of Pasadena’s 

renter households have incomes below $100,000. The American Dream of homeownership 

is out of reach for most of them. 

High rents make it almost impossible for tenants to save money for a down payment. 

More than half (52 percent) of all Pasadena renters pay over 30 percent of household 

incomes just to keep a roof over their heads. A whopping 95 percent of renters with 

household incomes under $35,000 spend more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing. 

Many Pasadena renters spend more than half their income on rent, plunging many 

full-time workers into poverty and, for the most vulnerable, homelessness. 

The housing developments approved by the city have exacerbated this situation. According 

to city data, only 18 percent of the 5,311 new housing units approved by the City 

Council since 2002 are within reach of low-income and moderate-income families. Most 

are luxury condos and expensive apartments targeted for high-income residents. For 

example, in the new 201-unit Avila apartment complex on Walnut Street, 171 units are 

market rate. Rents for two-bedroom apartments range from $3,680 to $4,300 a month. 

Many Pasadena landlords evict families in order to cash in on gentrification. On any 

given block, the appearance of new luxury housing means that your once-affordable 

street is about to become unaffordable. 

These human tragedies happen all the time in Pasadena. One recent example is 

Nathaniel Cooke, who has been a Pasadena city employee for the last 35 years and whose 

family has been in Pasadena for four generations. He’s been a model tenant, paid his rent 

on time, and even helped improve the property by providing outdoor maintenance for 

free. But he recently received a 60-day eviction notice and will be moving to another community 

and have to commute to his job in Pasadena. 

“Landlords should not be allowed to evict tenants without just cause,” Cooke told the 

City Council in May. “If we had real protections for tenants in Pasadena, this would not be 

happening to my grandsons and me.” 

Another victim of Pasadena’s housing crisis is Victoria Baker, who has lived in her 

apartment on East Washington Boulevard for 22 years. In June, Davis and the other tenants 

in the 16-unit building were given eviction notices and told to leave their apartments 

within 60 days. 

“How do they expect us to move?” Baker said. “I have a job where I’m able to sustain. 

But having to leave where I’m at (and move to an apartment) where rent is going to be 

$1,800, $2,000 — it’s kind of hard.” 

Rent control is a popular and effective policy to prevent displacement and maintain 

affordable homes for tenants. Rent control does not freeze rents. It allows landlords to 

increase rents on an annual basis, typically based on increases in the Consumer Price 

Index. It also allows landlords to recover the costs of capital improvements. It simply 

stops landlords from gouging tenants to take advantage of the severe shortage of affordable 

housing. The landlord lobby and developers who seek to protect soaring real 

estate profits perpetuate the myth that local rent control would slow down new housing 

construction, but evidence from cities around the country with rent control shows that it 

has no impact, because it exempt newly built housing. 

Today’s skyrocketing rents hurt the local economy. Tenants who spend too much of 

their income on rent don’t have much left over to spend in local stores and other businesses. 

So rent control is pro-business. If it was smart, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce 

would support rent control. 

The Pasadena Unified School District has lost many students because parents can’t 

afford rising rents and have had to move to other cities. The housing crisis hurts students 

because unstable housing — and frequent moves — means that they have to frequently 

change schools and suffer from the emotional trauma of eviction. 

Pasadena certainly needs to expand the supply of affordable housing. To that end, 

city officials should strengthen the “inclusionary housing” law to require developers of 

market-rate apartments or condos to incorporate at least 20 percent of the units for lowand 

moderate-income occupants, like janitors, retail clerks, nurses, and school teachers. 

They should also identify a permanent revenue source for the city’s affordable-housing 

trust fund and require all developers to build mixed-income housing. 

But we cannot simply build our way out of this severe housing crisis. It will take years 

to build enough affordable housing to make any serious inroads. Meanwhile, rising rents 

and evictions are an immediate crisis for thousands of families. The City Council should 

put a priority on safeguarding the existing inventory of affordable rental housing and 

protect renters from arbitrary evictions and displacement. 

Time to Organize 

Several local groups — including Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP) and the 

Pasadena Tenants Union (PTU) — are now organizing to get the city to adopt rent control 

and just-cause eviction laws. Under the banner of the Pasadena Tenants Justice Coalition, 

They’ve begun enlisting the support of faith-based congregations, community organizations, 

civil rights and civil liberties groups, and labor unions to support the cause. Indeed, 

the issues facing renters and union members — hotel workers, janitors, security guards, 

garment workers, day care workers, nurses, grocery workers, and grocery store clerks, 

as well as nurses, school teachers and municipal employees — overlap. A pay raise can 

be quickly wiped out by a rent increase. An eviction notice can threaten their families’ 

stability. 

What’s needed now is a multipronged effort to push city officials to adopt policies that

GLENDALE’S WILD OAK CAFÉ 

OFFERS GOOD FOOD, OUTDOOR 

VIEWS AND SUMMER SUNSHINE 

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE 

PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

As we reach the midway point of summer, now is a good time to look at a 

quintessential element of California fun that I found to be nearly non-existent 

on a recent trip to Seattle — outdoor dining. 

To enjoy the Southern California sunshine I headed to Glendale where I found 

Wild Oak Café, a picnic-esque casual dining spot in a now-converted convenience 

store tucked into the hills behind the Chevy Chase Country Club. 

Wild Oak Cafe sits alone, nestled into the base of an evergreen hillside. 

Utilizing the architectural bones of a gas station convenience store, Wild Oak 

blends easily with the naturally beautiful landscape to create a cozy, cafe 

atmosphere. The red awning, which looks like it covered an old-school gas 

pump a half-century ago, now acts as shade for Wild Oak’s main dining area, 

an outdoor patio. 

The once concrete floor has been replaced by weathered–looking wood slatted 

flooring. A vintage Model T sits just off the patio, alongside a tree, and holds pots 

of bright flowers. To order, you head inside where hints of a convenience store 

still stand, like the floor-to-ceiling refrigerators at the back that are filled with 

craft beers, bottled water and juices. Most of the interior has been replaced with

leave as family -- with plenty of burritos, tortas, 

tostadas, fajitas, and more to be had in between! 

Our dishes incorporate and pay homage to 

the rich fl avors of bustling mercados, corner 

taquerias, and seaside palapas. So visit us, eat 

to your heart's content at our mouthwatering 

lunch buffet, sip on a refreshing margarita, and 

feel at home. 

a kitchen, espresso station and pastry case, all 

visible behind the counter where orders are placed. 

For better or worse, Wild Oak’s menu covers 

everything from all-day breakfast options, soups, 

steak sandwiches, chicken bowls and spinach 

salad to Portobello mushroom burgers, date 

smoothies, pressed juices and all kinds of coffee 

and espresso concoctions. 

I visited at midday on a Sunday, the perfect time 

for my crew and me to check out their breakfast 

and lunch options. I nearly had a breakdown while 

perusing the photo-heavy menu which made every 

option appear equally as delicious. However, as 

nearly every food item on the menu is over $10, 

with most options closer to $20, I could not justify 

ordering quite as much as I typically would. The 

egg white breakfast burrito ($13) had all the 

staples — spinach, bell peppers, onions, cheese 

and salsa, with a choice of breakfast potatoes or 

hash browns inside. The burrito was smaller in 

size than the typical Southern California breakfast 

burritos that mom and pop shops like Lucky Boy 

have made us become accustomed to. I understand 

that egg whites are less voluminous than their 

higher-in-cholesterol yellow cousins, but the fact 

that it was smaller in size, higher in cost and about 

80 percent potatoes and tortilla left me regretting 

my choice. I will give the benefit of the doubt and 

say the regular breakfast burrito ordered with hash 

browns would be a better choice in terms of bang 

for your buck, especially because for the same 

price ($13) as the egg white version you get bacon 

and sausage to occupy some space in the tortilla. 

The French toast ($14) described on the menu 

as “fresh artisan bread stuffed with cream cheese 

and orange marmalade” came out as nearly an 

entirely different menu item. Rather than the bread 

being stuffed it was more like a spread of cream 

cheese and marmalade between the triangle slices, 

although the strawberries served on top of the 

dish were a pleasant surprise that made up for the 

slightly misleading description. 

On the cafe side of the menu, they have 

Armenian coffee ($3.50) which nails the bitter, 

full body balance you need in that delectable hit 

of caffeine. On the “do it for the Instagram” side of 

the menu is the rainbow flower latte ($8), topped 

with milk foam and contained in a glass with a 

mix of food coloring. A work of culinary artistry 

undoubtedly, but that adds nothing to the flavor 

besides a few extra dollars and some extra stress 

on the barista. I recommend sticking with the 

regular latte ($5) instead. 

Wild Oak is a great date spot and neighborhood 

hangout. The outdoor location is dog friendly and 

there is plenty of shade and seating on even the 

hottest of summer days. As seemingly isolated as 

the space is, it provides a hub for the golfers next 

door to swing by and pick up some alcohol to-go 

or a quick bite before their round. As you sit on the 

patio you can watch the regulars who live in the 

mansions above Wild Oak stopping by for their 

daily coffee in their Maseratis and BMWs and all 

the Instagram influencers using the flower covered 

Model-T as a backdrop for pictures of their rainbow 

coffees. 

Wild Oak is about the experience and the 

atmosphere as much if not more than the food. 

For a converted gas station out of the way, it is 

understandable why they need to have a rainbow 

coffee; and with a neighboring community of 

multimillion-dollar homes I cannot blame them for 

having slightly higher prices than most fast-casual 

cafes. 

While I was not the most impressed by the food, 

I respect the quaint charm and atmosphere of Wild 

Oak. It is a great first date spot, or a place to visit 

after a hike when you are not quite ready to be too 

disconnected from the outdoors, or just to stop by 

and grab some white claws to go.

SHINE ON, HARVEST MOON 

PCDA annual gala honors Rose Bowl Chief 

Darryl Dunn 

Tickets went on sale this week for the 11th 

Annual Harvest Moon Gala & Art Auction at 

the La Cañada Flintridge Country Club, hosted 

by Professional Child Development Associates 

(PCDA), a Pasadena-based charity serving 

children with developmental disabilities. 

This year’s fundraiser honors Darryl Dunn, 

CEO and general manager of the Rose Bowl, 

for his charitable works, which include the 

formation of two nonprofits, the Rose Bowl 

Legacy Foundation to provide support for the 

stadium, and First Tee of Pasadena to help 

Brookside Golf Course. Dunn will receive 

PCDA’s Community Service Award. 

Also being honored at the Nov. 10 event are PCDA founders Diane Cullinane, MD, and 

Mimi Winer, RN, MS, who will receive the organization’s Greenspan Humanitarian Award, 

presented to professionals who have made a significant impact supporting children 

with autism using the therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan that is 

employed in all programs at PCDA. 

Accepting this year’s Achievement Award is Amanda Arellano, a confident, 

enthusiastic teen who is a longtime member of the PCDA family. Since beginning her 

PCDA care journey in 2008, Arellano has participated in such programs as the Young

THE PENDULUM EFFECT 

DON’T SWING TOWARD MEETING YOUR MATE’S DESIRES AT THE 

EXPENSE OF YOUR DAUGHTER’S LOVE 

Dear Patti, 

I’ve been divorced for four years and have never been with anyone that I’ve been 

so crazy about, until now. I met Anna six months ago and it’s been wonderful. She’s 

beautiful, exciting, fun, and very sexy. In the past I would’ve been uncomfortable 

with the fact that Anna is 23 years my junior, but I don’t care about things like that 

anymore. Now I just want to feel alive and have fun. I have a 16-year-old daughter 

that I adore, Mia. Mia lives with her mother, but recently she’s talked about coming 

to stay with me more, maybe even live with me when she attends college. I’ve always 

wanted Mia to spend more time at my place, but now I feel hesitant because of 

Anna. Anna has only met Mia a few times, but whenever I bring up my daughter’s 

name, Anna always says something critical. She says that Mia is spoiled, hangs 

out with the wrong kids, wears inappropriately short skirts, and shouldn’t live at 

home while she goes to college. I don’t understand why Anna’s so negative toward 

my daughter. Mia has always been pleasant and polite to her. My daughter and I 

have a close relationship and I’m proud that she’s so well adjusted and happy. For 

many years I devoted all my time and energy to taking care of my family and 

being the breadwinner. Now all I have to show for it is a divorce and huge alimony 

debt. I realize that Anna shouldn’t have so much input on my relationship with 

my daughter. But I also feel that I finally deserve my own life after all this time. To 

that end, I’ve actually been trying to convince Mia to move away to school. Mia is 

confused about the shift in my perspective and said that it doesn’t sound like me. I 

love Mia more than anything, but I haven’t had romantic feelings like this in years. 

A woman like Anna doesn’t come along often and I don’t want to lose this chance for 

a new life. A buddy of mine says I’m being selfish. Does it seem that way to you? 

— Brian 

Dear Brian, 

I’m pleased you’re opening up the sexual, life-giving part of you that was dormant 

during your marriage. It’s an exciting new aspect of your life and it’s wonderful. The 

emotional confusion you’re currently wrestling with is sometimes referred to as a 

“psychological pendulum swing.” This occurs when someone is living out an aspect 

of his or her nature at the exclusion of other aspects and then makes an extreme shift 

in the other direction. For instance, a successful CEO may have trouble appreciating 

her status because what she really wants is to be married with children. A family man 

might be frustrated and obsessed with what he thinks is a lost opportunity to pursue 

his passion for art or music. A child who shuts down when he gets bullied might turn 

around and become a bully himself before he swings back to somewhere in the middle. 

I’m wondering whether your focus on being the dutiful husband and father caused 

you to disregard other aspects of yourself that are now forcefully emerging. As you try 

to integrate these changes with your whole self, be cautious not to swing so far over 

that you subsequently ignore that which you’ve so lovingly and carefully cultivated — 

the role of Mia’s father. As for the woman you’re now dating, it sounds like you don’t 

want the relationship to end and would probably regret not seeing it through, but please 

proceed slowly. Maybe you could discuss your concern at how negating she sounds 

when the subject of your daughter comes up. You might gain insight as to what Anna is 

really feeling. If Anna’s already making demands and showing jealousy or resentment 

toward your daughter after only six months, it could be a red flag. Establish boundaries 

immediately when she acts like a rival sibling. Express to her in no uncertain terms 

that your relationship won’t work unless she learns to have a more open heart regarding 

Mia. Unfortunately, her problem may be bigger than just your daughter. Even if Mia 

leaves for college, Anna may become jealous of anyone who competes for your attention, 

including family or friends. I know she seems special, and may well be. However, 

if it turns out she can’t accept your daughter there may be another exciting woman out 

there who will love both of you. ■

PASADENA HERITAGE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUE 

MOSSMAN CELEBRATES MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF 

KEEPING THE CROWN CITY ROYAL 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

Pasadena was a city on the verge of major transitions when Sue Mossman relocated 

here with her husband in 1976. Like other California cities, there were many forces 

calling to demolish or reconfigure long-standing landmarks in favor of building 

generic high-rises. 

Mossman, however, saw things differently. She had fallen in love with her home 

and the historic Madison Heights neighborhood that surrounded it, and soon played a 

key role in creating the preservation group Pasadena Heritage in order to help stem the 

tides of change. 

More than 40 years later, Michigan native and Penn State graduate Mossman was 

honored on July 13 at a special Castle Green fundraiser for Pasadena Heritage. Having 

served as the head of the nonprofit for the past 25 years, she was delighted to see

Jon Wright and Pasadena Heritage Executive Director Sue Mossman 

PRESERVING PASADENA 

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 

the gathering of 350 people raise more than 

$100,000 for its local preservation efforts. 

“I first got involved in my own neighborhood’s 

issues and from there learned a lot about 

the city and development, and joined Pasadena 

Heritage soon after it was founded,” recalls 

Mossman. “There were development plans for 

high-rise buildings at Los Robles and Colorado, 

and for tearing down Old Pasadena, so I joined 

up with others who were very concerned about 

the dire consequences for the historic city that I 

had come to love.” 

Among the battles she is most proud of 

Pasadena Heritage winning, Mossman lists 

the preservation of the former Bullock’s 

Pasadena department store, which is now 

the Macy’s on south Lake Avenue. She also 

singles out the fight to keep the Rose Bowl 

from becoming an NFL stadium, the termination 

of the 710 Freeway extension, and the 

growing strength of single-family neighborhoods 

all over the city. 

Perhaps her biggest success, however, came 

in creating the biennial Colorado Street Bridge 

Party. The giant landmark is closed to traffic 

for one night every other June in order to host 

concerts, food trucks and thousands of people 

enjoying the chance to walk freely on the structure 

amid a stunning sunset view of the Arroyo 

Seco. Yet aside from all the fun aspects of the 

evenings, they’re also essential fundraisers for 

the bridge’s preservation. 

“Early in our history, around 1978, the 

bridge was in considerable disrepair, with 

weeds growing through the cracks and chunks 

of concrete periodically falling off,” says Mossman. 

“Structurally it was fine, but suffering 

from deferred maintenance. Our first two 

bridge parties were to call attention to the sad 

state of the bridge and persuade the city to 

restore it. That took years, but the party really 

caught on and has stayed a favorite, but the 

fundraiser on July 13 was in place of that amid 

one of its off years.” 

One key local figure whom Mossman and 

Pasadena Heritage have had a major impact 

upon is Pasadena’s current mayor, Terry 

Tornek. He had been a nationally regarded 

expert in historic preservation living in Massachusetts 

when he was hired as the city of Pasadena’s 

planning director. The city was realizing 

the value of maintaining its historic flavor over 

unfettered new development and Tornek often 

teamed with Mossman and her associates on 

preservation issues. 

“Sue and Pasadena Heritage have been 

really instrumental in changing the whole 

ethos of Pasadena,” says Tornek. “We take 

preservation efforts for granted now, but that 

wasn’t true when Pasadena Heritage was 

getting started. Sue was there from the very 

beginning. 

“It was really Pasadena Heritage and their 

battle to save Old Pasadena and the subsequent 

positions they’ve taken in landmark 

properties and districts and changed the ethic 

and self-image and is a big part of the reason 

we’re the great city we are,” adds Tornek. “Sue 

has been tremendously insightful in terms of 

being strong and well prepared on issues but 

also willing to listen and compromise when 

necessary to make something happen. She’s 

really been a terrific steward of that preservation 

ethic, and it’s part of the thing that makes 

Pasadena unique.” 

One other longtime admirer of Mossman is 

Claire Bogaard, the wife of former Pasadena 

Mayor Bill Bogaard and a longtime active member 

of Pasadena Heritage in her own right. 

“Sue has learned just about every job there 

was to do at Pasadena Heritage,” says Bogaard. 

“The most important thing is she’s taken the 

organization from its early, early days when 

everyone was learning as they went, to a very 

organized, thoughtful, planned organization 

and she’s done a fabulous job taking it into a 

more mature state.” 

Ultimately, Mossman is happy to have 

been a large part of keeping Pasadena 

special, particularly the past 25 years during 

which she has served as executive director 

of Pasadena Heritage. She points out the fact 

that she wasn’t specially trained for her life’s 

work should be an example that anyone who 

loves their city can step up and help preserve 

it as well. 

“I’d like to think every Pasadenan is a 

preservationist on one level or another, but 

we have some work to do to awaken that in 

people’s psyches, and there are always, always 

buildings to fight for,” says Mossman. “I did not 

have any background or training. Probably my 

biggest credentials were just a passion to get 

involved in the community and trying to make 

a difference.” n

VINTAGE TROUBLE FRONTMAN TY TAYLOR BRINGS HIS STYLISH 

SOLO POP BALLADRY TO ONE COLORADO SATURDAY 

“N 

ouveau: a freshly 

actualized interpretation 

of the 

standard. Midcentury: a time 

signatured for being as vibrant 

as the technicolored tone of Judy 

Garland’s ‘Somewhere Over the 

Rainbow’ and as choked off as 

the black and white portrayed in 

Billie Holiday’s ‘Strange Fruit.’ 

Romance: a melodic and transcendent 

language of the heart. 

Songbook.” 

That last element speaks for 

itself, as Ty Taylor audibly savors 

the word at the close of his spoken-word 

introduction to his 2018 

release “Nouveau Mid-Century 

Romance Songbook,” which he’s 

still promoting with intermittent 

show dates, including one this 

Saturday at One Colorado. 

To casual fans, the album may 

seem a radical departure from 

Taylor’s hard-charging soul-rock 

quartet Vintage Trouble, whose 

James Brown moves and scorching 

live shows established him 

as a sharp-suited performance 

dynamo, and his offscreen vocals 

for Lester Grimes (portrayed by 

actor Ato Essandoh) in the HBO 

series “Vinyl.” But it isn’t anything 

new for the gospel-schooled New 

Jersey native, who still tours 

with Vintage Trouble. It’s just 

an affectionate U-turn back to 

the midcentury jazz and pop he 

first embraced as a wide-eyed 

kid while taking vocal lessons 

and studying the singing styles of 

Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Ella 

Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, and Dinah 

Washington. 

Unlike fellow Broadway 

alums Billy Porter, who updated 

Great White Way classics with 

R&B arrangements and guests 

throughout his album “Billy Porter 

Presents the Soul of Richard 

Rodgers,” and Kristin Chenoweth, 

whose “The Art of Elegance” 

revived pop standards with 

uncharacteristic nuance, Taylor 

brings to the mix his own songs, 

composed in the style of Great 

American Songbook standards. 

“Desolate/Better Off Without 

Me,” a silky duet with Renée Elise 

Goldsberry, is a melodic highlight. 

“I’m desolate,” she moans, 

while he croons in velvet tones, 

“You would be better off without 

me/ I wanted to give you wings/ 

Be the wind underneath your 

flight/ But I fucked up everything.” 

“Backbeat of the Boogie” 

is a snappy change of pace for 

Taylor, drummer Robert Perkins 

and pianist Peter Smith. But 

it’s ballads like “Quarter to the 

Blues,” the yearning, scale-spanning 

“Skies No More Be Gray” 

and cheerfully swinging “Wished 

for a Kiss” that shape the heart 

of his “Nouveau” valentine to his 

midcentury inspirations. n 

Ty Taylor performs in the One Colorado 

courtyard, 41 Hugus Alley, Old Pasadena, 

7-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3; free admission.

THE SHAWN JONES BAND ROCKS THE BLUES 

SATURDAY NIGHT AT ARCADIA BLUES CLUB 

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE SHAWN JONES AND HIS BANDMATES, WHO 

IN THE PAST HAVE WON THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BLUES SOCIETY’S 

BATTLE OF THE BANDS, ARE SCHEDULED TO STOP BY ARCADIA BLUES CLUB

The blazing guitarist, who boasts a 25-year record of accomplishment in the blues 

rock genre, has earned critical acclaim around the US as well as Europe, a place where 

American-style blues is in high demand. 

Jones learned the art of guitar by growing up listening to his father play and sing, 

and then hit the ground running, growing quickly in his skills to the point that today he 

and his band play some 200 shows a year nationally and worldwide. 

Jones has released five studio albums and one live disc. He’s also toured with 

big names in the blues business, including Robert Cray, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Joe 

Bonamassa and Leon Russell, among others.

TRAX BY BLISS 

DAVINA & THE VAGABONDS, Sugar Drops 

(Red House): ★★★★ 

Dynamic Minneapolis vocalist Davina Lozier goes 

uptown with trumpeter husband Zack Lozier and 

a lineup of studio aces, including a full string 

section, clarinetist/saxophonist Jim Hoke, Stevie 

Ray Vaughan organist Reese Wynans, and — for 

the first time — a guitarist, Patty Griffin sideman 

Doug Lancio. Lozier still plays piano, and her music 

still swings and sways through woozy New Orleans 

jazz and second-line revels (“Bone Collection,” the 

amusing “Devil Horns”), upbeat pop (a personalized 

take on Ben Harper’s “Another Lonely Day”) and 

intimate balladry (“Deep End”). But with polished 

settings supporting her Amy Winehouse-style 

tones and phrasing, she sounds more relaxed and 

nuanced than before. davinaandthevagabonds.com 

NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN AND PARTY, Live 

at WOMAD 1985 (Real World): HHHH½ 

Remixes and repackaged releases of the Pakistani 

qawwali icon have been so plentiful since his 

1997 death, and their quality so uneven, that the 

pop world ardently thronged around him. Finally 

rescued from the vault, this concert explains 

why with crisp, bright clarity. Khan’s singing’s 

impassioned, joyous, and viscerally robust as his 

ululating calls soar with ascendant melodies over 

tabla, harmonium and handclaps. The 25-minute 

“Haq Ali Ali” demonstrates how hypnotically stirring 

Sufi music can be; the 21-minute “Allah Ho Allah 

Ho,” where Khan dips into deeper, more reflective 

notes, is nearly as epic in its calls for peace and 

tolerance. realworldrecords.com

LEROY FROM THE NORTH, Health and 

Fitness (self-released): HHH 

Michigan-raised guitarist Eli Wulfmeier teases 

a full-length album (promised this fall) with five 

tracks of crunchy, ’70s-feeling rock. Allman-esque 

tunes “Here in My Home” (a rousing showcase 

for keyboardist Rai Thistlewait) and “Locked Out” 

show Wulfmeier pivoting from muscular chords to 

sunnier, country-dusted melodic playing. Punchy 

closer “Hey Man (Hammerheads)” recalls his 

work with fellow LA rocker Dorothy, as he vents 

frustration with social media and loss of privacy 

(“Let’s be careful when we’re talkin’/ Everywhere 

there’s someone watchin’”). leroyfromthenorth.com 

KEVIN BREIT, Stella Bella Strada (Stony 

Plain): HHH 

An imaginative instrumental set from the in-demand 

Canadian guitarist, titled after the custom-built 

electric guitar he wrings notes from while 

surrounded by shifting arrangements of horns, 

strings and percussion, plus organist brother Gary 

Breit. Even without the Marcello Mastroianni and 

Sophia Loren clips respectively introducing the 

title track and “Marcello Loren,” they sound like 

cinematic romps through a midcentury Hollywood 

funhouse; Esquivel would no doubt approve of 

those and the slinky, harmony-buffed “Vegas 

Address” and “Shoo the Bluebird,” the latter a 

dreamy showcase for Breit’s bluesy slide playing.

SUMMER BRINGS PASADENA’S THREE CLASSICAL ENSEMBLES TO VIBRANT LIFE 

Great music is in the air across Pasadena 

this weekend and next, as the Crown 

City’s powerhouse trio of orchestras 

present an eclectic array of melodies in 

special summer season shows. 

First up, the Pasadena POPS will 

turn the spotlight on its nationally 

renowned lead conductor Michael Feinstein 

for “Michael Feinstein Sings Cole 

Porter” at the LA County Arboretum in 

Arcadia. The show will feature him delving 

into Porter’s naughty sense of wordplay 

with “Night and Day,” “Begin the 

Beguine,” “Can Can,” “I Get a Kick Out of 

You” and “Just One of Those Things,” as 

Larry Blank takes over as conductor and 

lets Feinstein shine on vocals. 

Feinstein has maintained a lifelong 

love of Porter, and most recently paid 

tribute to him with the POPS in a special 

concert during the 2016 summer season. 

That evening found the orchestra 

performing songs based on orchestral 

charts created by famed conductor 

Nelson Riddle that had never been performed 

before in Los Angeles, in addition 

to several arrangements created for 

classic Warner Bros. studio fi lms. 

The ability to pay tribute to his 

musical heroes from the Great American 

Songbook through Frank Sinatra 

and Porter each summer has left 

Feinstein deeply appreciative of both 

POPS management and the orchestra’s 

devoted fans. 


“It’s been wonderful because the 

support of the community and audience 

is so exciting,” says Feinstein. 

“The orchestra is incredibly gifted, all 

brilliant musicians. Many have worked 

in Hollywood and play all different 

types of music. They appreciate playing 

music that’s diffi cult for them. It’s demanding 

and one of the reasons we’re 

successful is that audiences realize this 

is the only place they’ll be able to hear 

these versions of these songs. It’s a 

once in a lifetime experience.” 

Meanwhile, MUSE/IQUE will present 

another in its endlessly inventive 

series of shows melding its orchestra 

with intriguing guest artists at the 

Huntington Library, Art Collections & 

Botanical Gardens in San Marino. Saturday’s 

“Train/Glory” show focuses on 

“music inspired by trains” — a theme 

partly inspired by the fact that trains 

were instrumental in turning Pasadena 

pioneer Henry E. Huntington’s vision 

for the Huntington into reality. 

“Train/Glory” will feature guest 

soprano Liv Redpath, in addition to the 

dance troupe BODYTRAFFIC, rising 

star pianist HyeJin Kim and another 

acclaimed vocalist, Alyssa Park. The 

show will feature classic songs about 

trains as well as selections from the 

scores of beloved train-based fi lms 

such as “Murder on the Orient Express” 

and “Strangers on a Train.” 

Finally, CalPhil will present “‘Carmen’ 

Goes to the Movies” next Saturday, 

Aug. 11, at the Walt Disney Concert 

Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The 

show will feature excerpts from George 

Bizet’s greatest opera, “Carmen,” 

featuring soloists Audrey Babcock, 

Cedric Berry, Annalise Staudt and the 

Cal Phil Chorale under the direction of 

Maestro Marya Basaraba. In addition, 

classic fi lm music by Ennio Morricone 

(“The Mission,” “Cinema Paradiso”), 

John Williams (“Star Wars”), Bill Conti 

(“Rocky”), Rodgers & Hammerstein 

(“The Sound of Music”) and Elton John 

(“The Lion King”) will be performed. ■

Sings Cole Porter” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the 

LA County Arboretum, 301 N. Baldwin Ave.,

PEOPLE AGREE 

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 

the overwhelming majority of Pasadenans already support. The citywide coalition could: 

1. Sponsor a citywide town hall on Pasadena’s housing crisis, bringing together tenants 

and homeowners who want the city to adopt laws to make sure that Pasadena is an inclusive 

and affordable city. 

2. Put a human face on the housing crisis. At least one tenant should tell show up at every 

City Council meeting to tell his or her story about rents, conditions, and evictions, and 

one homeowner should be there to voice support for rent control and just cause eviction. 

3. Organize a massive voter registration drive among renters. POP and PTU could work 

with the League of Women Voters, PUSD, PCC, and Caltech to register high school and 

college students. They could work, with clergy groups to register people after religious 

services, with labor unions to register their members who live in Pasadena, and with the 

civil rights groups to target black and Latino renters. They also need to go door-to-door 

registering and organizing tenants in apartment buildings. 

4. Make tenants rights an issue in the upcoming mayoral and City Council elections. 

Send a questionnaire asking all candidates to answer “yes or no?” about their support for 

rent control and just-cause eviction. Follow that up by sponsoring a candidates forum on 

the issue, and then educate the public about their stances on these critical issues. Voters 

need to know which side which side they are on — the real estate industry or local 

residents? 

5. Level the political playing field. Demand that all candidates for mayor and City Council 

agree to reject campaign contributions from developers, landlords, real estate investors, 

and bankers, who all have a stake in rising rents and luxury housing. 

6. Run a slate of candidates for local office on a tenant rights and affordable housing 

platform. 

7. Engage in protest, rent strikes, and civil disobedience, when necessary, to draw attention 

to desperate human tragedies created by the city’s failure to address the housing 

crisis. 

8. Every year, identify Pasadena’s best and worst landlords. Give an award to the best 

landlords, protest at the offices and homes of the worst landlords, and push the city to do a 

better job of getting irresponsible landlords to fix health-and-safety code violations. 

Pasadena is a city of enormous wealth and outrageous income disparities, as described 

in the recent report, “Pasadena’s Tale of Two Cities” report. It is time for local philanthropists, 

including the Pasadena Community Foundation, to strengthen our democracy by 

investing in grassroots organizing to make city a more livable and just city, and to help give 

working families, including renters, a stronger voice in local affairs. And it is time for local 

officials to take action on the biggest problem facing Pasadena — its housing crisis —with 

bold policies to make Pasadena the progressive city it claims to be. ■ 

Peter Dreier is professor of politics and chair of the Urban & Environmental Department at Occidental College. He is the 

coauthor (with Mark Maier) of the “Pasadena’s Tale of Two Cities” report.

Double-Fisted Dynamics 

‘HOBBS & SHAW’ PITS ‘FAST & FURIOUS’ RIVALS DWAYNE JOHNSON 

AND JASON STATHAM AS TEAMMATES OUT TO SAVE THE PLANET 

There are some movies that are just too ridiculous 

for words. Movies that defy logic, the laws 

of physics, common sense, rationality and the 

fundamental rules of storytelling — and are gloriously 

entertaining in spite of it all. 

“Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” is one of 

those movies. The first spinoff from the ridiculously 

long-running “Fast & Furious” series of action movies 

(eight films so far, with a ninth due next year!), it stars 

Dwayne Johnson as an American agent named Roy 

Hobbs and Jason Statham as the once-evil, now-good 

British operative Deckard Shaw. 

The two men have developed a love-hate relationship 

with each other over the last two “Furious” films, 

after Shaw entered the “Furious” series as the villain 

in the end credits of the sixth. That eight-film series 

started out as the story of an uncover LAPD cop infiltrating 

a car-theft ring and crossing over into joining 

them. 

But in the fifth film “Fast Five,” Johnson’s character 

of federal agent Hobbs entered the scene to track down 

the gang — which was dispersed into hiding internationally 

— and enlist them to steal a drug lord’s $100 

million bank vault from the center of the Rio de Janeiro 

police department. That insane assignment brought 

the series to another level, taking the scrappy team of 

car thieves into James Bond/”Mission:Impossible” territory 

with a series of globetrotting adventures. 

The new movie focuses on its titular heroes as they 

try to find a British intelligence agent named Hattie 

(Vanessa Kirby) who has apparently gone rogue with 

a deadly super-virus that could wipe out the planet’s 

population within days. In reality, she has heroically 

injected the virus into her body for its 42-hour latency 

period in order to keep a half-human, half-robot former 

soldier named Brixton (Idris Elba) from capturing 

it on behalf of a shadowy British organization of exmilitary 

figures seeking to turn powerful weapons and 

viruses against humanity. 

Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba and Jason Statham in Hobbs and Shaw 

Hobbs is working for the US, Shaw for the Brits, and 

neither is happy about having to share the danger and 

the glory involved. But when it turns out that Hattie is 

Shaw’s long-estranged sister, and Hobbs might have 

to enlist his own long-estranged brother on Samoa to 

help save the day, the film shrewdly weaves in solid 

emotional underpinnings for the adventure. 

Beyond that, there’s a brewing attraction between 

Hobbs and Hattie that drives Shaw comically nuts 

as the trio of heroes hop all over the planet. Brixton 

wants to get the virus back out of Hattie’s body so it 

can be weaponized worldwide, while Hattie, Hobbs 

and Shaw need to steal the device that Brixton’s going 

to use to extract the virus from her. If they can’t get it 

in time, Hattie will die and the virus goes airborne. 

The script by longtime “Furious” scribe Chris 

Morgan and the direction by veteran stuntman-turneddirector 

David Leitch (“Atomic Blonde,” “Deadpool 

2”) make this movie zip along at a nonstop rapid pace. 

Beyond the usual hand-to-hand combat and kung fuey 

action, there is an incredible motorcycle chase, an 

unbelievable running and jumping chase down the side 

of a skyscraper, and a finale that is literally impossible 

to describe in any coherent fashion. 

Just know that if you are an action fan, you are getting 

your money’s worth about 10 times over. And, like 

the “Fast & Furious” movies, this is basically a Wile E. 

Coyote cartoon come to life. 

While Elba is a formidable villain and the trio of 

Johnson, Statham and Kirby are very entertaining in 

their combo of comedy and heroics, the movie also 

benefits greatly from a couple of truly surprise extended 

cameos by superstars who are perfectly matched 

for their roles. It’s nice to see that a movie universe 

that could be running on autopilot nine movies in is 

instead looking to give audiences extra bang for their 

buck throughout. n

of Title 8 of the California Code 

of Regulations Section 16000 et seq., 

which govern the payment of prevailing

of this public works project 

unless currently registered and qualifi 

ed 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 work pursuant to Section

to take all reasonable steps necessary 

to avoid inconvenience and disruptions 

to the Project site’s neighbors. The 

Pasadena City Noise Ordinance will 

be strictly enforced, and traffi c impact 

mitigation plans may be required in 

connection with hauling, cranes, and 

other activities that have the potential 

to excessively disrupt traffi c fl ows. 

Performance and Payment Bonds: The 

selected Contractor shall furnish to the 

City within fi fteen (15) calendar days 

after award and tender of a contract, a 

Faithful Performance Bond and Payment 

Bond, each in the amount of one

the requirements of the Contract Documents.

the administration, development, and 

management of the Project. 

Insurance: All Contractors must provide 

the insurance described in Exhibit 

A of the Agreement. 

Substitution of Securities / Security 

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.

MARIE GUENAT aka HILDA M. 

GUENAT 

Case No. 19STPB06584 

To all heirs, benefi ciaries, creditors, 

contingent creditors, and persons who 

may otherwise be interested in the will 

or estate, or both, of HILDA MARIE 

GUENAT aka HILDA M. GUENAT 

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been 

filed by Edward Joe Guenat in the Superior 

Court of California, County of 

LOS ANGELES. 

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests 

that Edward Joe Guenat be appointed 

as personal representative to 

administer the estate of the decedent. 

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s 

will and codicils, if any, be admitted to 

probate. The will and any codicils are 

available for examination in the file kept 

by the court. 

THE PETITION requests authority to 

administer the estate under the Independent 

Administration of Estates Act. 

(This authority will allow the personal 

representative to take many actions 

without obtaining court approval. 

Before taking certain very important 

actions, however, the personal representative 

will be required to give notice 

to interested persons unless they have 

waived notice or consented to the 

proposed action.) The independent 

administration authority will be granted 

unless an interested person files an objection 

to the petition and shows good 

cause why the court should not grant 

the authority. 

A HEARING on the petition will be held 

on August 15, 2019 at 8:30 AM in Dept. 

No. 99 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los 

Angeles, CA 90012. 

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the 

petition, you should appear at the hearing 

and state your objections or file 

written objections with the court before 

the hearing. Your appearance may be in 

person or by your attorney. 

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent 

creditor of the decedent, you must 

file your claim with the court and mail

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. 

NOTICE 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 http://www.

about 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 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 Benefi ciary, 

the Benefi ciary’s Agent, or the Benefi - 

ciary’s Attorney. If you have previously
