WHY NOT?

Stop using your car. There will be no more potholes that way — money saved. What people need is to ditch the cars and use more public transportation, bicycles and scooters, which will mean less pollution and less waste. In most cars there is only one person. Why is there so much pollution for just one person? - JOHN GLEZ LOS ANGELES

END IS NEAR The bombshell letter by Miguel Espinoza Jr. in the Pasadena Weekly of Jan. 17 (“Eyes Wide Open”) really opened my eyes totally wide. A million kudos to the writer for his courage and your boldness in printing the letter — an absolute indictment of the great Roman Catholic Church. Many of the scandals are now unfolding even in India where recently four nuns were punished for supporting another nun who was reportedly raped by Bishop Franco Mulakkal. However, as is the practice, the Catholic Church in Kerala state is supporting the man and bullying, threatening and punishing the nuns. This incident in India is the tip of the iceberg. The vast Roman Catholic empire has been under the public microscope for decades. Under controversial Pope Francis it has just cracked, not crumbled. Recently, there was another devastating report on the Internet that said, “Pope Francis may have finally reached the end of the line and these sex scandals may be the final nail in his career’s coffin.” Another recent report said the pope has surrendered to the Chinese Communist Party and has given partial control of their Church in China. The fall is not too far.

The Vatican enjoys the status of a nation and is given all the diplomatic privileges worldwide, with the Pope regarded as a head of state. The Roman Catholic Church, the largest Christian church in the world with over 1.3 billion followers, should be a shining example of a perfect religion, but, sadly, it is being shattered by scandals and compromises. - YATINDRA BHATNAGAR TUJUNGA

ANOTHER WALL Let’s provide some historical context to the building of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent shooting of dozens attempting to flee East Berlin and the GDR by going over it. The wall was built during the height of the Cold War by the German Democratic Republic with support from their Soviet allies. It came after years of cloak and dagger activities — some deadly — engineered by both sides. The GDR was geographically on the front line of the East-West divide and vulnerable. From the GDR’s point of view, and not one I necessarily support, anyone going over that wall could have been a foreign agent taking state secrets

to the Federal Republic, the USA, or another Western power. Keep in mind those killed crossing the Berlin Wall were not the only lethal victims of the Cold War; how many Americans committed suicide during the McCarthy witch hunt and the Hollywood Black List period? How about 60,000 dead Americans and 1.6 million dead Vietnamese during that Cold War episode? The wall came down when it was clear it was an anachronism. The Cold War had burned itself out by the time East Germans took hammers to the wall. Let’s look at the wall in the full historical context of an unfortunate period. - AARON DE GROOT VIA EMAIL

GET HEALTHY With the holidays behind us, we look forward to the New Year and the customary resolutions: reduce social media, reduce weight, and this year reduce animal food consumption. One third of consumers already report reducing their consumption of animal foods. Hundreds of schools, colleges, hospitals, and corporate cafeterias have embraced Meatless Monday. Even fast-food chains Chipotle, Denny’s, Panera, Subway, Taco Bell and White Castle are rolling out plant-based options. A dozen startups, led by Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, are creating healthy, eco-friendly, compassionate, convenient, delicious plant-based meat and dairy products. Meat industry giants Tyson Foods, Cargill and Canada’s Maple Leaf Foods have invested heavily in plant-based meat development. So have a number of Microsoft, Google, Twitter and PayPal pioneers. According to Plant-Based Foods Association, plant-based food sales have grown by 20 percent in the past year, 10 times the growth rate of all foods. Sales of plant-based cheeses, creamers, butter, yogurts and ice creams are exploding at a 50 percent growth rate. Plant-based milks now account for 15 percent of the milk market.

•HUTCHINSON REPORT• BY EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON

SING, GLADYS, SING GLADYS KNIGHT HAS PAID ENOUGH DUES TO PROUDLY SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT SUNDAY’S SUPER BOWL

hat’s right. Sing, Gladys Knight, sing. And why shouldn’t she sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl Sunday? Knight has more than earned her spurs, not through the years but through the decades as a staunch fighter, activist, funder and performance artists par excellence for civil rights causes. She’s paid plenty of movement dues long before many of those taking shots at her for her decision to sing the anthem at the bowl were even born. She’s paid those same dues while many of those taking the biggest shots at her for her decision haven’t contributed a penny, written a letter of protest, let alone gotten off their Gladys Knight duff and hit the streets in protest over racial injustice. No, their contribution to the struggle is to scream, shout and kick up a fuss on Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets. Knight won’t be doing anything that legions of other blacks, including just about every big-name black singer has done at every conceivable sporting event in America from time immemorial, and that’s belt out the anthem Let’s go further. In a statement, Knight reaffi rmed her commitment to the battle against racial injustice. She also explicitly pointed to the kneel-down protest and subsequent blackballing of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in her response. The statement was deliberately twisted, bent and mangled in the news headline mention of it to make it appear that Knight opposed Kap’s stance. She said nothing of the sort. What she did say was that she understood that Kap was protesting police violence and racial injustice. That’s all. This brings it back to the anthem. She said the anthem was separate from that action. Millions of blacks may agree or not with this. However, they still stand for the anthem at every sporting event, and that includes every black MLB and NBA player. Most know the brutal history of racial violence, exclusion and poverty that trapped and still traps countless numbers of blacks. They watch and read frequently of the police killings of mostly unarmed blacks, the mass incarceration numbers for blacks, the grim figures on job and housing discrimination, the gaping health care disparities, and endless other big and small racial insults and indignities. The symbol of that is the fl ag that they are asked to stand at attention to with one hand over their hearts. However, they also know that tens of thousands of blacks answered the call to fight for that same fl ag and anthem in every major American war, and despite the violence and discrimination they suffered, black servicemen and women served their country honorably. Civil rights leaders from W.E.B. DuBois to Martin Luther King Jr. carried the fl ag and sang “My country tis of thee” during countless civil rights marches. The landmark victories against racial oppression were won under the banner of fulfi lling the promise of American rights and liberties that the fl ag and the national anthem represent in theory, if not, in fact, always. Blacks also know that despite towering racial obstacles, the Constitution stands as a powerful shield to protect the rights of all Americans, and for Americans to continually use as a weapon to shame, embarrass and cajole the nation to extend rights and liberties to all US citizens. African-Americans have paid with their blood and earned the right to lay as much, if not more, claim to the fl ag and the National Anthem as anyone else. This is their America too, always has been, and it’s their fl ag and National Anthem, whether they choose to stand or not when it’s played or not. Knight said as much when she made clear she’ll sing the anthem but that won’t deter her one bit from also doing what she’s always done. That’s remain fi rmly committed to the two things she said Kap knelt for; namely the fi ght for racial justice and against police violence. Sing, Gladys, sing. ■ Earl Ofari Hutchinson is an author and political analyst. He is the author of “Fifty Years Later: Why the Murder of Dr. King Still Hurts” (Middle Passage Press).

WAGE WAR

BACKERS AND OPPONENTS OF A $15 PER HOUR MINIMUM WAGE BY 2020 TURN UP THE HEAT AHEAD OF PASADENA COUNCIL MEETING BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

UC Berkeley economist warned Pasadena officials that local workers could seek jobs in nearby communities like Altadena and Los Angeles if Pasadena enacts a freeze on the minimum wage. Not only should city leaders consider the impacts of raising the minimum wage, “Policymakers should also take into account the effects of not continuing Pasadena’s minimum wage phase-ins,” wrote Michael Reich, a UC Berkeley economics professor, one of two consultants hired by the city to study the impacts of the increased minimum wage. “If minimum wages are higher in nearby Los Angeles, some Pasadena businesses may find it more difficult to recruit and retain workers,” Reich wrote. Los Angeles County, which governs unincorporated Altadena, is on a similar fee increase schedule with the cities of Los Angeles and Pasadena in raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020. California lawmakers adopted a schedule in which $15 an hour will become the minimum wage statewide in 2022. Cities on the state schedule include Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, South Pasadena, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Temple City, San Marino, Arcadia and Sierra Madre. Some Pasadena business owners, mostly restaurateurs,

are calling for the City Council to “pause” and review the ordinance, then adopt the state schedule. The City Council will consider the issue on Feb. 11. The review is written into the city’s 2016 wage ordinance as a requirement. According to the law, the minimum wage will be raised from $13.25 to $14.25 on July 1 and to $15 on July 1, 2020. If during the review council members decide the increased wage is having a negative impact on the city’s economy, they could freeze the wage at its current rate and move to the state schedule. Such an action would require a twoyear freeze on the city law while the state, currently at $12 an hour, increases to $14 an hour in 2021. Teddy Bedjakian, a restaurant owner in Old Pasadena, said he no longer hires first-time workers, who would once work for much less money than an experienced employee. “They want to paint the restaurant owners as cheapskates,” said Bedjakian. “Everybody I hire has to be experienced now. I cannot afford a first-time worker. It hurts the local workforce.” According to Bedjakian, some of his employees make more than $100 a shift in tips, but some days, he said, the business, which has been in Pasadena for 22 years, doesn’t turn a profit. At the council meeting, Reich will be joined by UCLA Economics Professor Edward Leamer in explaining minimum wage impacts.

The Altadena Library District agreed to a $550,000 settlement with former Library District Director Mindy Kittay, who repeatedly clashed with members of the library’s board of trustees. Kittay joined the library district in 2014 and began working to improve services and the library’s two facilities. Two years later, however, she came under fire from the board after she began publicly calling out its five members for violating the state’s open meeting law, the Ralph M. Brown Act. Among other things, the Brown Act prohibits a board majority from having meetings or discussions outside of properly noticed agendized meetings in which the public can comment. According Dale Gronemeier, Kittay’s attorney, the board violated the Brown Act 96 times beginning on May 30, 2017 by conducting illegal meetings via email and failing to vote in public. The board, Gronemeier alleged, also attempted to restrict the public’s right to speak during board meetings. In an Oct. 26, 2017 email, trustees discussed the possibility of limiting public comments to Altadena residents after the public began complaining about the way the library’s business was being conducted. After the conflict escalated the following May, Kittay’s doctor sent her home due to stress, but the board refused to allow her to return to work. The conflict also led to a drastic change on the board. Board member John McDonald resigned last March after Gronemeier and attorney Skip Hickambottom publicly presented email evidence of Brown Act violations. Armando Zambrano did not seek reelection in November, and Ira Bershatsky was defeated in the November election by Katie Clark. The district’s insurance services will pay $375,000 of the settlement. The additional $175,000 will be paid by the district in a series of installments. Kittay has agreed to release the library of all known and unknown claims, including a lawsuit she filed, alleging dozens of Brown Act violations. A copy of the settlement is available for inspection at the library. “My attorneys and I repeatedly made it clear that I wanted to continue as the Altadena library director rather than being paid a handsome sum to leave,” Kittay said in a prepared statement. “Throughout this ordeal, I was never informed of the reasons the library board refused to allow me to return to work. There was never any substantiation of misconduct or fault by me. It is wrong that I am being penalized for objecting to repeated illegality.”

TRAVEL ORDERS

CHU INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO BLOCK TRUMP’S LATEST ‘MUSLIM BAN’ BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

US Rep. Judy Chu (D-Pasadena) has reintroduced legislation to block President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting travel to the United States from several countries. Judy Chu The bill, House Resolution 4271, and its companion legislation, Senate Resolution 1979, authored by Sen. Christopher Murphy (D-Conn.), would prohibit the use of any funds or fees to implement the ban. The latest of three versions of the ban restricts to varying degrees entry from seven countries: Iran, North Korea, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Venezuela. The media deemed the policy a “Muslim Ban” after Trump’s campaign proclamation that he would close the borders to Muslims. “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on,” Trump said during the campaign. Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan previously refused to allow a vote on Chu’s legislation to block the executive order. Two previous versions of the ban were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because they targeted Muslim countries. “That is bigotry at its worst, and it is part of the reason why we have seen an increase in hate crimes and violence since Trump started his campaign” said Chu. “And that is why Sen. Murphy and I are reintroducing our bill to block any federal funds from going towards the implementation of the Muslim ban.” The original order issued in January 2017 barred people from seven majorityMuslim countries — Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya — from entering the US for 90 days. It also halted refugee resettlement for 120 days and banned Syrian refugees indefinitely. Chaos ensued at airports and protests were held in major cities, including Los Angeles and New York. That version of the ban was later struck down by a federal court. The revised order in March 2017 removed Iraq from the list after officials there agreed to boost cooperation with the US. The revised order also lifted the indefinite ban on Syrian refugees. But it also was struck down by a judge, In June 2017 the US Supreme Court allowed that version of the policy to take partial effect against travelers without close links to the US. n

SEARCH INTENSIFIES

DEPUTIES, VOLUNTEERS STILL LOOKING FOR MISSING ALTADENA 19-YEAR-OLD BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

The search for a missing 19-year-old has expanded from the mountains to the commercial district in Altadena, Jonas Nelson according to a volunteer associated with the search. Local activist René Amy said he was asked to hang fliers on Lake Avenue from Altadena Drive to Woodbury Road last weekend as he prepared to search the hillside area with other local volunteers for Jonas Nelson. “We were told to look in the commercial corridors down to Woodbury Road,” Amy told the Pasadena Weekly. Amy said he placed dozens of fliers in local businesses. Nelson was last seen on Chaney Trail with his father Wayne Nelson as the two headed out at dusk for a hike on Jan. 7. According to his father, it is not uncommon for Jonas to separate from his dad and hike alone once they reach the trail. Forty-four searchers, including members of Sierra Madre, San Dimas, and Montrose Search and Rescue teams have spent more than 20 hours on the hillside looking for Jonas, according to one social media post. “We can only imagine the stress and grief the family is going through at this time,” wrote Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Dan Paige. “We have been following all leads and are still working the case.” Police are following multiple leads into Jonas’ whereabouts and several people on Facebook have reported seeing him. Jonas, who is 6-4 and 190 pounds, was last seen wearing an orange jacket with silver stripes. According to Paige, members of the family were called into a liquor store on Lincoln Avenue and Figueroa Street after someone claimed they spotted Jonas there. Paige said the owner of the store showed the family the surveillance video and deputies have viewed it twice. However, Nelson’s sister told the Weekly that the young man in the video was not Jonas. “I hope they find him soon and I hope he’s OK,” said Amy. According to his father, Jonas is suffering from undiagnosed mental illness caused by an undisclosed drug-related incident. “We just want to intensify the search,” said Wayne. “I just want him to text me and let me know he is OK. If anyone sees him I hope they can talk to him or buy him a sandwich and keep him there until we get to him.” n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.31.19

WAGE WAR

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

Reich’s report is called “Pasadena’s Minimum Wage Policy Effects on Workers, Businesses and the Local Economy.” Leamer’s study is titled “Estimates of the Impact of Pasadena’s Minimum Wage Ordinance.” Reich, who was paid $38,000 for his efforts, and Leamer who earned $39,000, according to Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian, will both put on PowerPoint presentations at the Feb. 11 council meeting. Both reports can be viewed on the city’s website at cityofpasadena.net/planning/codecompliance/minimum-wage-information/. Another academic report — one not commissioned by the city — is also available for the council and the public to review. In “Pasadena’s Tale of Two Cities,” by Occidental College Political Science Professor Peter Drier and Glendale Community College Economics Professor Mark Maier, the authors examined such topics as income inequality, making ends meet in Pasadena, wages, and housing. They concluded that Pasadena possesses one of the widest income divides between rich and poor in the state; a place where the average income of the richest five 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). The report can be viewed at pasadenaweekly.com/2019/01/24/a-critical-lookat-what-makes-pasadena-such-an-unequal-placeto-live/. In his report, Leamer said his research “supports a significant negative estimate of the impact of minimum wages on the number of hair/nail salons and also a negative impact of the Pasadena increment on the number of jobs in limited service restaurants.” Conversely, Reich wrote that “Minimum wages have increased the pay of Pasadena workers in these industries and has not thus far visibly reduced their employment levels.” Both commissioned authors cited difficulty reaching conclusions based on a lack of data due to the short amount of time that has passed since the council unanimously passed the wage ordinance in 2016. The consultants were operating on two sets of questions, the first aimed at finding the impact the minimum wage increase had on workers, including changes in hourly wages earned, changes in hours worked, net changes in income, job loss, and changes in public assistance. The second question was aimed at the impact on businesses, including changes in payroll costs, total hours paid, gross revenue earned, changes in business models to accommodate higher hourly labor costs, changes in hiring practices, impacts on prices and profits, and an estimate of business closures or relocations due to this change. Chamber of Commerce President Paul Little said the reports prove the chamber was correct when its members argued against the city implementing the $15 per wage by 2020. “When I look at the data it seems to bear out what we said three years ago, when we said the minimum

wage would have a negative impact on jobs,” Little said of Leamer’s findings. “Employers are looking at ways to reduce payroll expenses. They are being more particular with who they are hiring. They are not hiring young people for seasonal employment. People are getting by with fewer employees and the employees they have are working less.” According to Little, no one is against the $15 an hour minimum wage. But business people would prefer the city slow down the increases and align with the state. “They were hell bent on passing this thing,” Little said of the council. “Maybe now they’ll be a little more prudent.” The chamber is running a 24-question survey that asks local business owners to assess the impact of the minimum wage increases on their businesses. The survey went out to 3,000 business owners, according to Little. The results were not in by presstime. Some business owners and local progressives have taken opposing sides on the issue. Last weekend, Pasadenans Organizing for Progress! (POP!) held a Pasadena Workers Justice Parade rally at the Pasadena Community Job Center on North Lake Avenue. More than 200 people decorated 78 cars as part of event. “It is critical we keep up,” Ed Washatka of POP! said. “The rents in Pasadena continue to go up. The increase may not seem like a lot, but to a low-wage family it can make a big difference. The minimum wage increase is not hurting the Pasadena economy. Keep in mind the income gap in Pasadena continues to grow.” Local housing costs continue to be some of the highest in the area, and even with a $15 minimum wage most low-income workers cannot afford to rent in Pasadena, where some one-bedroom apartments go for more than $2,000 a month. “They show that wages are going up but it has not hurt jobs,” Dreier, also a member of POP!, said of the two reports. “There are some slight differences, more positives than negatives. As for negatives, Reich says there has been none,” Dreier said. “Leamer says there has been a decline in nail salons and some fast-food restaurants. But it’s the high-end restaurants that are complaining. It has not hurt the city’s business climate or its businesses. If the City Council reads the studies, and reads them objectively, they will see there is no need to freeze the minimum wage.” Some business owners, however, insist the wage increase is having a different effect than what was intended. Restaurants like Robin’s Woodfire BBQ, owned by community activist Robin Salzer, have reduced hours to offset costs. Salzer, Bedjakian, who has also reduced hours of operation, and other local restaurant owners have been contacting council members in an effort to convince them to move to the state’s timeline. “You can’t compare a worker at McDonald’s to somebody working in a high-end restaurant. They don’t do the same thing.” Bedjakian said. n

PROCEED WITH CAUTION PUBLIC ENTHUSIASM OUTPACES REGULATIONS ON NON-INTOXICATING CANNABIDIOL, OR CBD BY KATHLEEN KELLEHER

BD is billed as the panacea du jour. Short for cannabidiol, CBD is a non-intoxicating chemical component of cannabis, touted as a treatment for just about everything — anxiety, acne, insomnia, digestive problems, arthritis, epilepsy, nausea, pain, depression, headaches, tremors and overcoming addiction’s persistent urges. You name it. My college-age daughter and friends use CBD sublingual (under the tongue) tinctures for anxiety flare-ups, from overwhelming academic demands and a too busy university life. My adult son eats CBD gummies for insomnia. A neighbor gives CBD to his arthritic Labrador retriever who, before CBD dosing, could not even stand up. Now she walks a mile a day, a slight hitch kicking her tail into a whirligig. It is a half-billion dollar industry, projected to soon hit $22 billion, according to Brightfield Group, a Chicago-based market research company focused on cannabis. In Pasadena-area health food stores, foodie eateries, CBD-only storefronts, artisanal coffee houses and boutique hotels, you will fi nd elegantly packaged CBD gummies in minibars, CBDinfused foods and smoothies, CBD tinctures, CBD-infused waters and CBD gel pills. There are also topical treatments like CBD-infused salves, lotions and body oils. I can walk to a health food store and have a dropper of CBD added to a juice tonic for $4. Pet food stores sell a range of CBD tinctures for beloved animals, lined up behind the cashier, beckoning as you buy premium-grade chow. But there is trouble in CBD-land. All ingestible CBD products derived from industrial hemp are being sold unlawfully, according to the California Bureau of Cannabis Control. CBD or CBD oil can be derived from both industrial hemp and cannabis. The distinction is this: Hemp or industrial hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa L. plant species, which has no more than .3 percent of THC (the psychoactive component). The only lawful places to buy ingestible CBD — as long as the CBD is derived from cannabis plants (which have 5 to 35 percent THC), not of the industrial hemp variety — are marijuana businesses that are state-licensed and locally permitted to sell marijuana products. The prohibition on selling hemp-derived CBD ingestible products elsewhere is fairly recent. In July food and drug branch of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) stated that CBD is a prohibited food additive and that cannabis cannot be sold in any food retail operation such as restaurants, coffeehouses or grocery stores. CBD oil or CBD ingestible products derived from cannabis — that is, the non-hemp variety — can be sold only in state-licensed cannabis retail stores and businesses,

according to the CDPH. The prohibition is based, in part, on the grounds that CBD derived from both hemp and cannabis is a federally regulated controlled substance. Cannabis and CBD is listed as a Schedule I Drug, along with LSD, heroin and cocaine. A Schedule I Drug is defi ned as a substance with no known medical use and a high potential for abuse under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, according to the federal Department of Drug Enforcement (DEA). “Until the FDA rules that industrial-hemp derived CBD oil and CBD products can be used as a food or California makes a determination that they are safe to use for human and animal consumption, CBD products are not an approved food, food ingredient, food additive or dietary supplement,” the CDPH website states. Ingestible CBD products derived from non-hemp cannabis plant species are legally sold in licensed cannabis retail stores and businesses, which are required by state regulations to lab test all products. Strictly regulated and licensed cannabis businesses protect consumers from mislabeling and contaminants like mold or pesticides, the state says. There is no regulatory agency that has oversight of CBD-oil production from industrial hemp, the CDPH website states. None of the ingestible CBD derived from industrial hemp is being sold legally in brick-and-mortar stores or online. But you can probably still buy it over the counter at your local health food store, get a café latte with a shot of CBD in it, purchase tinctures online or cruise Ocean Front Walk in Venice, where there are two freestanding CBD-only stores in operation. As for Pasadena, the city bans all sales of cannabis, including CBD from cannabis or hemp, said Lisa Derderian, Pasadena public information officer. “Cannabis operations have been prohibited from operating since 2005 and in [October], we shut down two of them and the city attorney charged them with operating without a license and operating illegally,” said Derderian. “All of it, including CBD that is derived from cannabis or industrial hemp CBD, is illegal.” But that will change this year. Pasadena voters passed measures CC and DD in 2018, a move that allows the city to permit limited legal cannabis businesses within the municipal district. Pasadena will be permitting six cannabis retailers, four testing labs and four cannabis cultivators in 2019, one per council district, Derderian said. A November workshop attracted 250 cannabis business interests, some from as far away as Canada, said Derderian. Confusion over regulating a market that has exploded well in advance of laws, permits and licenses needed to govern it, is normal for all things cannabis. But there is a multipronged effort in the works to push the state to address the lapse in regulation specifically addressing industrial hemp-derived CBD ingestible products. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

PROCEED WITH CAUTION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 09

“There is a very broad coalition of cannabis industry associations, individuals and legislators working to tackle hemp-derived CBD regulations,” said Josh Drayton, communications outreach director for the California Cannabis Industry Assn. (CCIA), a trade group based in Sacramento. “There has been hesitancy at the state Bureau of Cannabis Control to deal with this because there weren’t specifically tasked to do this. Everyone is so careful of the language used, because we don’t want to overtax, overregulate or overburden hemp and hemp-derived CBD the way cannabis has been.” Refi ning the language in a proposal to write regulations for hemp CBD is one of CCIA’s top priorities for 2019. There is a new state Legislature with many new members, along with a new governor, Drayton added, so many of the people the coalition had worked with have moved on and fresh connections must be forged to move proposed regulation forward. Quality control and labeling accuracy is a reasonable concern. A November 2017 Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) study found that nearly 70 percent of all cannabidiol products sold online contained either higher or lower concentrations of CBD or THC than indicated on the label. What that means is these mislabeled products are ineffective or potentially harmful. Pure CBD should be THC-free, the study’s lead author Marcel Bonn-Miller, an adjunct professor of psychology in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote in JAMA. Underlabeling was less concerning because CBD appears to have no serious harmful consequences at high doses, but “the THC content observed may be sufficient to produce intoxication or impairment, especially among children,” Bonn-Miller wrote. He called for manufacturing and testing standards and oversight of online medicinal cannabis. The regulations simply have not caught up with the public enthusiasm for CBD and its potential to alleviate a raft of health issues without devastating side effects. One FDA-approved drug based on CBD is epidiolex, made by GW Pharmaceuticals, a British company. The drug, approved by the FDA in June, is the fi rst prescription cannabis-derived medicine available in the US. It is used to treat two forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gaustaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. Both are among the most difficult types of epilepsy to treat, according to the FDA. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome usually appears between the ages of 3 to 5 years old, and Dravet syndrome starts in the fi rst year of life. Both are lifelong conditions that can be catastrophic. An estimated 30,000 children and adults have Lennox-Gastaut syndrome; fewer have Dravet syndrome. Epidiolex was approved by the FDA after GW Pharma submitted beneficial results from three randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled trials conducted on patients with both forms of epilepsy. The medication is now available at local pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS. The DEA had to classify epidiolex’s precise CBD formula as a Schedule V, indicating a low risk for abuse; this is the fi rst time the DEA has listed a form of cannabis as anything other than a Schedule 1 substance (i.e., the most dangerous) under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Epidiolex is proof of CBD’s promise. CBD, whether drawn from cannabis or industrial hemp, is being investigated for a 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.31.19

wildly diverse array of physical and psychiatric maladies. Studies are ongoing but it’s a laborious and slow process getting a cannabis-based drug through research trials to fi nal FDA approval. The timeframe depends in part on delays in getting all of the federal regulatory approvals for the research and then gaining access to product. It could be four years before there are published results from a given cannabis study, according to J. Hampton Atkinson, a psychiatrist and co-director of UC San Diego’s Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR). US and international clinical trials either completed or in the process of recruiting participants number 167, said UCSD’s Atkinson. The studies are focused on various conditions, including CBD treatment for cannabis withdrawal and cannabis abuse, heart failure, bipolar disorder, acute schizophrenia, alcohol and cocaine abuse, Crohn’s disease, infantile spasms, various types of childhood epilepsy, Tourette’s syndrome, anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. At CMCR, Atkinson said, researchers plan to study CBD’s efficacy for treating early psychosis (in addition to conventional antipsychotic drugs); anorexia nervosa anxiety; low-movement tremor; and childhood autism spectrum disorders. In childhood autism, for example, CBD has been shown to reduce anger and repetitive behaviors, like turning in circles and head banging, thereby improving a child’s social skills and ability to attend school. “The published evidence lags way behind the enthusiasm,” Atkinson said in an email. “There is some evidence from two human trials that CBD may help reduce anxiety and negative self-talk in people with social phobia. There is some evidence that it may help with certain kinds of insomnia and confl icting evidence on whether it is effective in psychosis.” Some physicians are using cannabis medicine to treat patients. Sherry Yafai, an emergency medicine physician who is founder and director of Releaf Institute, a medical marijuana clinic in Santa Monica, treats patients for cancer, pain, insomnia, tremors, Parkinson’s disease, anxiety and multiple sclerosis. “My big gripe about this industry is we are allowing people who don’t have the expertise like I do or my colleagues do to advise people,” said Yafai, who credits licensed cannabis shops with at least lab testing their products and following regulations that protect consumers. “The question about dosing is going to take into consideration, what else are you taking? I am going to ask you 50 questions. You know, it really is a challenge because we have people who don’t know any better.” So for now, when it comes to grabbing hemp-derived CBD ingestible products off the shelf at a health food store or ordering them online, it is buyer beware. To be sure, a great many hemp-derived tinctures are locally based companies with compelling inception stories rooted in a desire to help an epileptic child, grandmother or cancer-stricken mother, and to avoid horrific side effects of pharmaceutical medications. These admirable product narratives are compelling, moving and relatable. Still, consumers should be mindful that for now, when buying hemp-derived CBD tinctures, gel pills and salves, they are accepting product labeling at face value. Proceed with caution. Or head to a licensed cannabis store for tested and vetted CBD products. ■

dressed with tomato, wedges, red onions, celery and a sliced pickle. Both are better than any ballpark hotdog, and at about half the cost. Perry’s has two styles of sandwiches — straightahead classic deli sandwiches and fusions, which take the basics up a notch with a few additions. Each sandwich is given some jazz-related wordplay like The Egg From Ipanema ($5.50 half/ $8 whole), an egg salad sandwich served on white, wheat, rye, sourdough, or squaw bread with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mayonnaise and mustard. The Egg from Ipanema is one of the favorites, along with the Chicken Mingus ($5.50 half/ $8.25 whole), Perry’s take on a basic chicken salad sandwich, a childhood favorite of mine. Perry’s version uses lettuce, tomato, sliced green apples, mayonnaise and mustard. I recommend paying the extra 50 cents to get it on a croissant. The Mingus is a must-try, but get there early so you do not miss out on the magic that apple slices and chicken combine to create. Perry makes a fresh batch each morning, but when it’s gone, it’s gone. The Veggie Combo ($5.50 half, $7.75 full) is a vegetarian-friendly option that comes with lettuce, cucumber, red onions, avocado and cheese, on your choice of bread, of course. On colder days, or if you are looking for a piled, classic, hot deli sandwich, the Perry Pounder ($9) is made with hot shaved roast beef, onion, American cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup — the epitome of good sandwich.

In short, Perry’s menu is all the deli classics stacked tall, sliced by hand that same morning by the same guy who makes the sandwich. Deli sandwiches can be made the same way they were 50 years ago, and taste just as good, proving once again that some things do not need to change to remain great. Bennett gets that. For Bennett, the charismatic owner and namesake of Perry’s Joint, growing up meant capitalizing on opportunities. “I needed for the kids in the area to see something else,” he explained. And that’s why he takes the time to genuinely connect with each person who walks through the door. There is a wholesomeness at Perry’s Joint, a nostalgia that ruminates from the menu and friendly atmosphere that Bennet exudes — all just steps away from the world of obnoxious, unnecessary plating and pretentiousness. If you want a great deli sandwich, good conversation and an opportunity to listen to some great Jazz, Perry’s Joint is the place. I’ll be stopping in again for a breakfast bagel (offered with cream cheese, avocado, or extras) and a coffee. Perry’s also boasts a full espresso bar. In an era of food trends, hour-long lines and overpriced basics, Perry’s Joint offers a refuge, a personal experience with heart, and a soundtrack of the heavyweights of the jazz era. You know when you are eating at Perry’s Joint that you are contributing to something bigger, and someone who cares about his community.

HUSBAND MUST INSIST CHILD-ABUSING WIFE COMMIT TO PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT Dear Patti, My wife, Amanda, is a wonderful woman and loves me and our three children more than anything in the world. We’ve been married 12 years and I’ve seen her peri

— James Robert Dear James Robert, You don’t have to abandon your wife, but I believe you need to start setting clear unbreakable boundaries that will protect your whole family, including Amanda. While it will probably be intensely difficult, you need to insist she gets a complete psychiatric evaluation and either inpatient or comprehensive outpatient treatment. While Amanda may not recognize it, she needs help and it’s not in her best interest for both of you to continue to minimize her problems. Don’t allow her to refuse to get help any longer. It’s your duty to keep your children safe. If they do temporarily stay with their grandma, visit them daily and spend as much time with them as possible. Make sure they know you’re not choosing their mother over them and that you’ll never abandon them. It might also be a good idea for you and the children to get counseling. Children coming from abusive situations often develop symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder and somatic complaints. Take care not to minimize the psychological impact of neglect and emotional abuse on your children as they could come to believe this behavior is acceptable. Your children could also develop characteristics of learned helplessness as they are powerless to stop the abuse. They’re further at risk for various acting-out behaviors such as alcohol or drug use, running away, sexual acting-out, stealing, and other dangerous pursuits. One of your children could identify with their mother and also become verbally abusive and neglectful, while another one might identify with you and internalize avoidant and denial characteristics. I understand Amanda can be positive and loving and you don’t want to break up your family, but I’m concerned you’re confusing enabling with loving. If you really love them, insist Amanda no longer abuse herself and your family by not getting the professional support she needs. n Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena.

AMERICAN DREAMERS CONTEMPORARY RELEVANCE OF ‘RAGTIME: THE MUSICAL’ IS UNMISTAKABLE IN PASADENA PLAYHOUSE REVIVAL BY BLISS BOWEN

ast summer, while discussing upcoming productions, Pasadena Playhouse Artistic Director Danny Feldman described “Ragtime: The Musical” as “almost shockingly relevant” today. That view is echoed by the director and actors in the show, which begins previews next week. Set in New York’s teeming environs at the turn of the 20th century, E.L. Doctorow’s 1975 novel “Ragtime” was adapted for a 1981 film before landing on Broadway as a Tony-nominated musical in 1998, with a book by venerated playwright Terrence McNally and a jubilantly vivid score by composer Stephen Flaherty and lyricist Lynn Ahrens. Both the novel and musical question what it means to be an American, what constitutes American identity, and the paradoxical nature of the American

Dream. “It was about the difficulties that immigrants have, the difficulties that women had trying to emerge from the shadow of the patriarchy, and the difficulties that black people had with violence against them from the police and others,” notes director David Lee. “It was extremely relevant at the time that Doctorow wrote it. In 1998, all those issues were still relevant [chuckles], if not more so. Twenty years later, here we are again, and if anything they are more urgent than they ever were.” Clifton Duncan leads the 21-member cast as Harlem pianist Coalhouse Walker, whose wrenching campaign for justice gives the play much of its moral complexity. Marc Ginsburg portrays another pivotal character, Tateh, a Jewish immigrant

from Eastern Europe. Shannon Warne plays Mother, who embodies upper-class WASP culture even as she evolves in conventiondefying ways. The cast also features Bryce Charles (as Coalhouse’s doomed lover Sarah), Zachary Ford (Father), and Dylan Saunders (Younger Brother). Historical figures such as Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, Harry Houdini, infamous Gibson Girl Evelyn Nesbit, and Booker T. Washington appear at crucial junctures, enhancing the storyline’s verisimilitude. As Coalhouse, Duncan journeys across a dynamic emotional and musical arc. Backed by a 16-piece orchestra, he delivers some of the show’s most romantic, angry and heartening songs in his robust baritone, including the optimistic “The Wheels of a Dream” (“The times are starting to roll/ Any man can get where he wants to/ If he’s got some fire in his soul”). The classically trained actor offers an insightful analysis of Heinrich von Kleist’s 1811 novella “Michael Kohlhaas,” in which many of Coalhouse’s plot strands are rooted, and the “huge, epic through line that Coalhouse gets to follow.” Having lived for a formative chunk of his childhood in Belgium and Germany, Duncan expresses thoughtful curiosity about people of varied backgrounds,

sents give rise to Coalhouse’s most inspiring anthem, “Make Them Hear You,” which foreshadows civil rights struggles to come: “Say to those who blame us For the way we chose to fight That sometimes there are battles Which are more than black or white And I could not put down my sword When justice was my right.” Like Duncan, Warne performs key songs expressing not only the awakening of individual characters but also incipient shifts in cultural attitudes: a duet with Tateh, “Our Children,” and the initially compliant Mother’s stirring declaration of independence “Back to Before,” when she declares she will henceforth make her own decisions and will no longer be constrained by Father or society. Having been “blessedly busy with musical theater” in LA since moving here from Minneapolis 16 years ago, Warne is emerging from a five-year, motherhood-imposed hiatus. “Ragtime” reunites her with Ford, Lee, and choreographer Mark Esposito, with whom she worked on a 2010 Playhouse staging of “Camelot.” The “Ragtime” cast, she says with a giddy laugh, “is ridiculously talented. It’s

During the show’s run, the Pasadena Playhouse is sponsoring four free Soul of Ragtime concerts (to be given by the Michael Haggins Band, John Reed-Torres, and the Vignes Rooftop Revival), and two free Monday-night talks addressing core themes in “Ragtime”: “The Jewish Experience in America,” co-presented with the Jewish Federation of San Gabriel and Pomona Valley on Jan. 28, and “Till We Reach That Day: The Struggle for Justice in America,” an examination of the African-American experience from slavery through the present day on Feb. 11.

and views “Ragtime” within a broad historical and cultural frame. “In a way it is about connection, in terms of connecting across socioeconomic lines, across ethnic lines, across cultural lines,” he muses. “It’s also about the way those connections are tense and frayed and sometimes lead to tragic results. “I hesitate to link the material to any sort of specific political story or movement, because I think it sort of reduces the scope of the material, which is so large. But at the same time, there’s no denying — not just here, but in South America and Western Europe as well — there’s huge, tectonic, paradigmatic shifts that are happening in many ways. It totally is relevant in terms of the turn of the century and you have all these cultural industrial innovations or upheavals that are happening. … “The idea of multiculturalism is a huge question in the world right now, not just here but overseas. [‘Ragtime’] sort of delves into what can happen when people come up against each other. It’s a bit nuanced as well, to be honest. It’s not just about black and white, for instance, with Coalhouse’s character and the injustices he faces. The main antagonist in Coalhouse’s story is a white man named Willie Conklin, who happens to be Irish, and there’s a great line in the script when he says, ‘Does he think that only niggers get shit? We Irish had to get used to it.’ Which is true. You could say it’s a cautionary tale of the bureaucracy and the state at large. But again, it’s nuanced.” The societal forces that Conklin repre-

exhausting and exhilarating just to take it all in.” With so many people and so much action onstage, she is focusing on clarity. “Even though the melodies are gorgeous, equal weight has to be given to storytelling,” she explains. “Making sure lyrics are clear, that intentions are clear, and making sure our audience understands.” Asked if they interpret “Ragtime” as a hopeful tale or a cautionary one, Duncan, Lee and Warne answer: both. “It reminds us we need to look at our history,” Warne says, “and we need to take action so as not to repeat our history.” “Out of all the chaos and the misunderstandings and the violence that take place during the course of the story, there is still an ending that points toward optimism and hope,” Lee observes. “And I personally could use a bit of that right now.” “No matter who you voted for or what your ideology is, now more than ever, this is a time we should all want to sit in a dark room and watch this story,” Duncan says. “There is nuance in the storytelling. I think it’s one of the reasons this musical endures. It’s not just black and white, no pun intended; there are shades of gray within it, and anyone could take something away from that.” n “Ragtime: The Musical” begins previews at Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena, Tuesday, Feb. 5, and runs through March 3; tickets are $25 and up. Info: (626) 356-7529.

Hard-Earned Joy W

‘THE CAPITALIST BLUES’ BRINGS LEYLA MCCALLA TO ZEBULON

ith a title like “The Capitalist Blues,” it’s no surprise that Leyla McCalla’s third album is filled with protest songs. But it’s not your standard protest music. Led by the title track, which she began writing several years ago, the songs are angry, yes, but also sensual, reflective, and even playful. Like its predecessors (2016’s Haitian proverb-inspired “A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey” and 2013’s “Vari-Colored Songs: A Tribute to Langston Hughes,” made after she left the Carolina Chocolate Drops), “Capitalist Blues” draws on McCalla’s family ancestry, Haitian folk, American gospel and Creole waltzes, and is sung partly in Haitian Creole. But this time the classically trained cellist left her cello at home, and relied on producer Jimmy Horn, veteran New Orleans musicians and Haitian ensemble Lakou Mizik to help create a more expansive musical framework. A zesty parade of accordion, lap steel, Haitian tanbou drum, organ, percussion, triangle and tuba rally around McCalla’s electric guitar and tenor banjo. It’s her first album with a full band,

and the resultant burst of energy magnifies the impact of tracks like rumbling rocker “Aleppo” and the frenetic sing-along “Settle Down” (“They say settle down and try to keep you in place/ They say settle down to keep you from feeling strong”). The breezy calypso rhythm of Neville Marcano’s “Money is King” belies its indignant message: “If a man has money today People don’t care … He can commit murder and get off free Rise to the seat of the presidency But if you are poor people tell you shoo A dog is better than you” McCalla, whose parents actively championed human rights while raising her in small town New Jersey, has consistently addressed social justice issues in her songs. Now married and raising three children in New Orleans, her love songs — the corkscrewed “Me and My Baby,” zydeco romp “Oh My Love” — are no less celebratory for acknowledging intimacy’s disappointments. When she sings, “Our moments of perfection are so

fleeting/ But when we get things right, that’s what keeps my heart beating,” in sweet, even tones, the line soars precisely because the joy is so hard earned. Likewise, “Heavy as Lead” wraps fears of lead poisoning in a soul-swaying groove and gospel-like harmonies that soothe without denying the vulnerability in “trying to grab hold of what we can’t control” while living “on the edge” in a tainted house. “Don’t tell me everything’s gonna be all right,” she warns. Next month will see the release of “Songs of Our Native Daughters,” a collaborative project between McCalla, Rhiannon Giddens, Birds of Chicago frontwoman Alli Russell and singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah. That means a busy month for McCalla, who’s just returned from a European tour and plays Zebulon Café on Wednesday. With Sunny War also performing, it’s likely to be a night of music both socially conscious and soulful. n Leyla McCalla and Sunny War perform at Zebulon Café, 2478 Fletcher Drive, Silver Lake, at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6; $10 advance/$12 day of show.

ÓLAFUR ARNALDS, re:member (Mercury): HHHH

Utilizing his algorithm-driven Stratus technology, which connects a keyboard to two player pianos, the Icelandic composer melds live and electronic sounds throughout a collection distinctly cheerier than his stunning “Broadchurch” score. Melancholy drifts through, but there’s more light than dark even on such elegantly dramatic pieces as the watery “inconsist” and the title track, which swells from solo piano to a crescendo of strings, percussion and synths that suddenly vaporizes. “ekki hugsa” recalls elements of Dario Marianelli’s “Atonement” theme, while “brot,” constructed around a fournote pattern, mysteriously suggests worlds via shimmering space. Loveliest of all’s the unadorned piano melody of “saman”; its sweetness lingers. At the Orpheum in Downtown LA Friday, Feb. 2. olafurarnalds.com/

MICHAEL FRANTI, Stay Human, Vol. II (Boo Boo Wax): HHH

Franti’s brilliant concept album “Stay Human” hit 2001 like a bomb, cross-wiring soul, funk, hip-hop, rock and spoken vignettes in a searing indictment of the death penalty. The charismatic artist’s social activism hasn’t flagged since, but reggae bounce and acoustic pop textures have softened his politically conscious raps; there’s nothing like “Rock the Nation” calling listeners to action. Instead, loving tracks like “When the Sun Begins to Shine” and “The Flower” (“In a world so divided/ We shall overcome/ We could be the healing/ We can be the flower in the gun”) seem designed to lift spirits (and voices) with hopeful choruses.

JULIANA HATFIELD, Weird (American Laundromat): HHH

The ’90s indie-rock veteran celebrates solitude’s rejuvenating virtues in a perpetually connected world. Sturdy pop hooks, angular guitars and thwacking beats sustain musical interest as Hatfield’s lyrics serve thoughtful sustenance to fans who prefer introspection to party patter. Highlights: “Staying In,” “Sugar,” “It’s So Weird” (“‘Don’t you ever need someone to put your arms around’/ I said, ‘Hey, there is no replacement for what is gone’”). julianahatfield.com

Four rustic songs exalting seasons, change, and the loyal companionship of a “Damn Good Dog.” The title track charms with its call-and-response gospel setting and straightforward tally of loss (“I’ve been drinking my coffee with lonesome these days/ As I stare in the field where she would run/ Where the cattle are fat and the rising sun”).

HONEY WHISKEY TRIO TAKES THE STAGE AT CALTECH

The three young women who make up Honey Whiskey Trio, presented by the Folk Music Society at Caltech Saturday night, perform mostly a cappella, although they sometimes perform on guitars, banjos and mandolins, creating music out of influences from the music halls, hymn books and front porches of early America.

They went on to take first-place honors at the regional Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival in 2013, after having only been together four months. The three women went on to win first place in the Sweepstakes’ national competition several months later.

An Echoing Voice

CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS-SAN GABRIEL VALLEY GIVES ITS STUDENTS A CHANCE TO SHINE IN THE MUSICAL ‘NEWSIES’ AT GLENDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE BY CARL KOZLOWSKI Since opening its doors in Duarte in August 2017, the California School of the Arts-San Gabriel Valley has created opportunities to develop a career in a wide array of performing arts for middle and high school students far from the heart of Hollywood. This weekend, the school will be presenting its most ambitious production yet, bringing the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “Newsies” to life in an “all-school musical,” featuring a cast of 40 student actors and an all-student orchestra at Glendale Community College’s Mainstage Theatre. The family-friendly musical tells the story of the 1899 Newsboy Strike in New York City, providing an inspiring story of friendship, hope and strength in numbers. Initially created as a movie musical released by Disney in 1992, the film bombed, but it developed a huge cult fan base on home video before eventually being mounted as a smashhit Broadway production. According to Jay Wallace, who serves as both the play’s director and the chairman of the school’s theater department, “Newsies” will serve as the school’s biggest unveiling of its talented student body yet. “This is the second version of an annual event we call the all-school musical, which opens the production for auditions by students from all 10 of our conservatories,” says Wallace.

“Last year, we did ‘Pippin’ as our first, and that was more dark and serious. This show is probably something that our students are more familiar with since it’s originally a Disney product, energetic, athletic and a tremendous amount of fun.” “Newsies” is renowned for its highly creative and athletic dance numbers, requiring endurance and hard work from all performers. The performance is helping students to grow across disciplines, according to Alson Dambach, the show’s choreographer and CSArts-SGV chair of dance. “I always encourage our students to develop their skills in dancing, singing and acting, knowing how difficult it is to do all three at once,” said Dambach. “It takes a lot of breath support and stamina to get through a typical musical, and in ‘Newsies’ there’s no holding back on the dancing. The cast dances through scenes, through transitions, on top of tables. You name it, they do it. Our students are so superb that they’ve stepped right up to the plate from the first day of auditions and have built the confidence to perform this very physical show.” The fact that this is such a huge production inspired Wallace to mount the show at GCC’s Mainstage Theatre, since its 400 seats will enable a much larger audience to see the show than

in CSArts-SGV’s own facilities. But putting on the show outside the Duarte campus is also a reflection of the show’s relevance to the outside world. “As a theater director, we always strive to find relevance in any production we mount,” says Wallace. “It’s important for students to reflect in a way that they gain perspective. It’s more of a parallel to look at ‘Newsies’ from a sense of power and oppression over people of lesser status who are marginalized, and the power of community and brother/sisterhood and how that can band together to make an impact. “There were actually girls who were part of these newsies, kids living on the street selling newspapers to survive, being taken advantage of by these powerhouse companies,” he continues. “They got tired of it, decided to take a stand and went on strike. They went on strike as children and forced the hand of publishing companies for higher wages. There’s a relevance to society in general, plus falling in love, finding yourself and your place in society, and your voice.” n “Newsies” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Fri.Sat. and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Glendale Community College’s Mainstage Theatre, 1500 N. Verdugo Road, Glendale. Tickets are $25 in advance, or $30 at the door. Visit sgv.csarts. net/boxoffice.

CAPSULE REVIEWS

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

GLASS

Stars: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy Length: 129 minutes Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan Rating: PG13 A hybrid sequel to both “Unbreakable” and “Split,” “Glass” fulfills fanboy fantasies. All three leads are terrific as mortal enemies Willis and Jackson have to contend with the unstoppable monster criminal The Horde, played by James McAvoy, in a battle of wits and later brawn while kept under the mysterious watch of a shady psychiatrist. Grade: A

THE FAVOURITE

Stars: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz Length: 119 minutes Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos Rating: R This twisted, wildly original historical comedy makes England’s Queen Anne secretly gay, while following the battle of wits and bodies between her prime assistant and a ruthless maid who will stop at no trick to come out on top. The film looks gorgeous, is shockingly funny, and the three Oscar-nominated actresses are clearly having a blast. So will you. Grade: A

ROMA

Meaningful Movies

Lupita Nyong'o and Letitia Wright in Black Panther

THE UPSIDE

Stars: Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, Nicole Kidman Length: 126 minutes Directed by: Neil Burger Rating: PG13 This incredibly inspiring dramedy kicks the new movie year off right, as Kevin Hart plays a struggling man whose life changes when he becomes the caretaker for a paralyzed millionaire with a death wish - and winds up restoring his will to live. Terrific performances, and filled with laughs and (no pun intended) heart. Grade: A

THIS YEAR’S BEST PICTURE NOMINEES SHOW HOLLYWOOD TRYING TO INCREASE ITS POPULAR APPEAL

here are few better windows into the state of American culture than the announcement of Oscar nominations, as Hollywood pats itself on the back in selecting the most purportedly amazing and profound films each year. But with the Academy Awards telecast’s ratings in freefall, Oscar voters apparently realized they needed to include a few blockbusters in the mix of major nominees to draw average Joes and Janes into watching. Announced early in the morning of Jan. 22, the eight Best Picture nominees included giant crowd-pleasers such as “Bohemian Rhapsody” (which has earned $800 million worldwide and counting), “Black Panther” ($700 million in the US alone, $1.3 billion worldwide) and “A Star is Born” ($200 million in the US, huge for an R-rated film). Yet, it also followed Hollywood tradition by including a couple of socio-politically charged films in “BlacKkKlansman” and the comedic Dick Cheney biopic “Vice,” and overly arty fare in period dramedy “The Favourite” and the black and white Spanishlanguage film “Roma.” Intriguingly, it’s the most conventional and heartfelt film of all in the list that has emerged as the frontrunner for the Best Picture trophy. “Green Book” has won tons of critics’ awards and the Golden Globe for Best Comedy or Musical by telling the story of the beautifully touching and very funny real-life friendship that formed between a famous black pianist and the initially racist

Stars: Yalitza Aparicio, Marina de Tavira, Diego Cortez Length: 135 minutes Directed by: Alfonso Cuaron Rating: R Nominated for ten Oscars and beloved by most critics, this slice of life look at a year in the life of a poor maid working for a wealthy family while facing the prospect of single motherhood is gorgeously shot. But aside from that, it’s slow as molasses and will bore most normal folks to tears. Grade: D

VICE John David Washington in BlacKkKlansman

white working-class guy he hired as both security and a driver on a concert tour of the Deep South during the civil rights era. “Black Panther” is the first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Picture, which is a welcome reflection of the fact that great filmmaking can come in popcorn pictures as well, rather than just pretentious arthouse flicks. It was refreshing to see a movie in which blacks were both heroes and villains, treated just like other (super)humans in countless other films rather than as tokens or

Stars: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve Carell Length: 132 minutes Directed by: Robert Zemeckis Rating: R Bale is utterly amazing in this off-the-wall biopic of Dick Cheney, who manipulated his way into having more power than any Vice President in history. Writer-director McKay brought the 2008 financial meltdown to vibrant Oscar-winning life in "The Big Short" and makes this nearly as engaging. Grade: B

MEANINGFUL MOVIES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 anomalies, and great to see that young black kids around the world finally had a hero all their own. “Bohemian Rhapsody” told the story of Freddie Mercury, whose tenure as the singer of the legendary rock band Queen made him one of the greatest showmen in rock history. While it raked in an astronomical amount of money from moviegoers, many critics derided it for not being a graphic, R-rated depiction of Mercury’s highly promiscuous gay lifestyle, which led to his untimely death from AIDS in 1991. Producer Graham King and the surviving band members fought hard in the interest of good taste and discretion, pushing through a PG-13 take on Mercury’s life that relied on inferences instead and made this a film that multiple generations could enjoy. Here’s hoping that the studios will learn from this and employ similar discretion in handling other problematic subjects in the future. Writer-director Adam McKay already explained the 2008 housing crisis to comedic and Oscar-winning effect with his 2015 movie “The Big Short,” and followed up with an oftencomical approach in exploring the life of America’s most controversial and powerful vice president ever in “Vice.” This, too, reflected a concerted effort to deliver a message in an entertaining rather than heavy-handed way, and even tried to offer some empathy for a man often nicknamed “Darth Vader.” Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman” took on race relations more strongly than any movie he delivered in the nearly 30 years since his 1989 incendiary classic “Do the Right Thing.” That movie was fueled by a palpable rage, but here Lee managed to create an incredible balance of outrageous satire, touching drama and even thrilling moments of intrigue in adapting the true story of a black cop who teamed with a Jewish colleague to infiltrate a Colorado Ku Klux Klan chapter in the 1970s. It showed that Lee, like McKay, has grown to realize that he can reach more people with a message when it’s leavened with some lightness. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s take on “A Star is Born” is the fourth time the tragic romance has been filmed by Hollywood, and while it portrays a marriage ruined by addiction, it brought a great deal of empathy to a situation that’s happening far too commonly in our nation today. (The fact that it has a fantastic soundtrack with the stars singing their hearts out also drove its success, of course). That leaves the two artiest movies on the list, “Roma” and “The Favourite.” In my opinion, “Roma” is vastly overrated, as a beautifully shot but slow-as-molasses slice of life tale of a year in the life of a young maid caring for a wealthy doctor’s family. The one message I could barely discern from it is writer/director Alfonso Cuaron drawing a parallel between the relationship woes of the maid and the family’s mother, but it’s not enough. “The Favourite” puts a bizarre yet often funny spin on the palace intrigues of the early1700s reign of England’s Queen Anne, largely inventing competing lesbian lovers for the royal leader as they strive for power by wrangling for the strongest relationship with her. It’s very well done, even though no one in this movie is likable enough to actually root for. Despite all my optimism that Hollywood has finally learned some valuable lessons, this least appealing pair of movies (which are the lowest-grossing of the eight nominees) have the most nominations, with 10 apiece. The more things change, the more they stay the same, but here’s hoping that Oscar night will build off its more populist nominations and reward films with more broad-based appeal. n
