BEWARE BIG TELECOM I am writing to you because I want to protect our open Internet. Two years ago, the FCC under Ajit Pai repealed the net neutrality protections that make the Internet an open and free platform to connect and exchange ideas. If we can’t restore these protections, the Internet as we know it could change forever. Earlier this month, Congress introduced the Save the Internet Act, which will restore the open Internet protections that were repealed by the FCC in 2017. Despite having the support of over 80 percent of Americans, many members of Congress are siding with Big Telecom to vote against this bill. I hope our representatives in Congress vote in favor of this bill. Otherwise, we’ll be forced to hold them accountable at the ballot box in 2020. ~ AIDA MARINA VIA EMAIL

I am usually pessimistic regarding American government and its politicians. However, my opinion is changing. Now, with a Democrat majority in Congress, I am expecting a wide sweep of government corruption, particularly on the Republican side of the ledger. Honest Democrat politicians in Congress far outnumber Republicans. President Donald Trump isn’t responsible for all the chicanery in his party; it began far before him. He only intensified it and brought it out in the open, brazenly. I see very little difference between the Republican Party and the Cosa Nostra. Trump has the personality of a Sicilian mobster. He is raising his family to follow in his footsteps, having helped his family to occupy many important positions of power and influence. A major thorn in the side of American foreign policy is Trump’s adviser, his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Not only was he denied a top secret clearance to illustrate his unworthiness, but he has been involved in many vital decisions for which he is unqualified. His involvement in Saudi Arabia is

consistent with his father-inlaw’s plan to expand his wealth in the Saudi kingdom, as in Russia, where he offered Putin a multimillion-dollar gift to influence his approval of a Trump project. Every project Donald Trump sticks his fingers in has them coming out smelling like doo-doo. My optimism is in the new teams of Democrat House representatives. In the past three months the young Democrat Congress has exposed its excellent potential for fact-fi nding and its determination to alter the course of American politics. I am hopeful the Democrats will retake the Senate and the ultranegative, unethical influence of Mitch McConnell will vanish with his political demise. Yes, I am confident and optimistic and have my fi ngers crossed that there will not be any Democratic fatal infighting or jealousies among party members in the Senate or in the House of Representatives. ~ MIGUEL ESPINOSA, JR.

REFORM IN REVERSE

VILLANUEVA HIRES BACK FIRED DEPUTIES AND ‘INACTIVATES’ ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS

t may be too early to tell how Sheriff Alex Villanueva will perform over the next four years of his term in office. But if recent actions taken by the county’s top lawman are any indication of what to expect, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. More than a few of the significant strides made in reforming a department once plagued by inept managers, corrupt deputies and abusive jailors are being set aside, with sheriff’s officials fired for behavior unbecoming an officer of the law apparently now being welcomed back with open arms by Villanueva himself. The former sheriff’s lieutenant and political newcomer who upset reform-minded Sheriff Jim McDonnell in November says he believes in change — only change back to the way things used to be, when deputies could still beat up their spouses, stalk their exes, drive drunk and violate department policies with impunity. Villanueva’s plans to establish what he somewhat insultingly calls a “truth and reconciliation” committee, a name shamelessly misappropriated from a commission formed to exact justice for victims of human rights abuses at the hands of police in South Africa with the end of apartheid, was the fi rst indication that taking care of the troops — not seeking justice for people actually harmed by violent deputies — came fi rst on the new sheriff’s radical agenda. It’s been widely reported that Villanueva, over the strenuous objections of the Board of Supervisors, has rehired two deputies, one fi red for violating policies related to domestic violence, the other for using unreasonable force and failing to use de-escalation tactics in relation to an encounter with a suspect. The Los Angeles Times reported that at least four other deputies were also reinstated by Villanueva, and that the sheriff was reviewing 68 other cases of deputies let go under McDonnell’s watch. “The sheriff has been very clear in indicating that all Los Angeles County Sheriff’s employees will be afforded due process,” sheriff’s spokesman Cpt. Darren Harris responded to the Times in a statement. To that end, Villanueva has been working at having his underlings kill, or “inactivate” existing investigations into other alleged deputy misconduct. As the Times recently reported, of the 45 investigations inactivated in the fi rst two months of 2019 “a handful involve criminal allegations such as child abuse, domestic violence and having sexual relations with an inmate.” The paper cited a report recently released by Rodrigo A. Castro-Silva, the interim leader of the Los Angeles County Office of Inspector General. “The inspector general also noted that other changes to employee discipline have been made in recent months, including cases in which the department moved to fi re deputies for misconduct — including brandishing a weapon while intoxicated and fraternizing with a member of a criminal street gang — before entering into settlements that allowed the deputies to keep their jobs and serve days of suspension instead,” the Times reported. “Jaw-dropping” is how Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission member Hernán Vera described the report. “To have such a large number of inactivations is — literally — to cover the public’s eyes on these matters before the truth comes out. It is the exact opposite of transparency,” said Vera. By virtue of being an elected official, Villanueva can do as he pleases, and answers to no one, at least not yet. It was roughly seven years ago that some of the worst corruption inside the department was coming to light. Two years after that, incumbent Sheriff Lee Baca stepped down as he came under further criminal scrutiny and was ultimately convicted of federal obstruction charges in connection with an inmate abuse scandal which saw Baca, his deputy sheriff, as well as a number of lower ranking deputies convicted. Most have already served their time. Baca is currently still appealing his conviction. A former appointed police chief in Long Beach, McDonnell sat on the Citizens Commission on Jail Violence which ultimately chastised the department’s management under Baca and brought attention to conditions inside the county’s jails. In mid-2012, Baca was testifying before the citizens’ panel, which was comprised of a number of retired federal judges. When asked by a commission member how he should be held accountable for the problems in the jails, a defiant Baca said simply, “Don’t elect me.” Given Baca is presently looking at serving three years in federal prison, in part because of his coddling of wayward deputies, that was clearly only a partially correct answer. Perhaps one day during his term Villanueva will have to answer that same kind of question from a similar board about the problem deputies he’s reinstated during his time in charge. Or maybe those same deputies who were given a second chance will fi nally straighten up and fly right. Anything’s possible, but only time will tell. ■ 6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.18.19

STATE SUPREME COURT TAKES UP FORMER PW CARTOONIST’S SUIT AGAINST LA TIMES

DIGGING DEEPER MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS CALL FOR MORE TIME TO STUDY DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR FORMER TORPEDO TEST SITE BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

asadena Mayor Terry Tornek is asking the state Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for more time to evaluate the cleanup of a former military weapons testing site where more than 550 apartments and a host of businesses are scheduled to be built. “The city of Pasadena has serious concerns that the scope of the draft RAW [removal action work] is inadequate and will need to be expanded,” Tornek wrote. Tornek also called on the state agency to extend the public comment period on the draft plan to July 30. The letter came on the heels of a March 29 meeting attended by Councilman Gene Masuda and Victor Gordo in which local residents demanded more time to review documents related to the environmental cleanup of the 8.5-acre site, which was formerly a

naval testing center. But instead of getting the three-month extension, the DTSC granted just 22 days to review the 500-page document. “The requested extension is necessary to ensure proper time is provided for public review of the document,” Tornek wrote. The refusal to accommodate the three-month extension prompted Masuda and Gordo to demand the project be bought back to the council as soon as possible. “Our council has a responsibility to the safety of the residents and to make sure the residents’ concerns are addressed,” said Masuda, whose district includes the former testing site. The property is currently occupied by a Space Bank storage facility. In the 1920s it housed a furniture company, and was later bought by Caltech, which used it for research into jet propulsion

The California Supreme Court has granted cartoonist Ted Rall’s petition for review of his lawsuit against the Los Angeles Times. Rall, who was fired by the newspaper in 2015, has been fighting the paper in court since, filing a lawsuit alleging wrongful dismissal and defamation, which he lost, the verdict upheld by two appellate courts. “Against long odds, the California Supreme Court has granted my Petition for Review,” Rall posted on his Facebook page. “We are asking the high court to vacate the LA Times’ abusive anti-SLAPP motion against me as granted by the two lower courts.” SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. These types of lawsuits are filed by corporations, developers and government officials against individuals or community organizations that oppose their actions, according to the Digital Media Law Project. On Tuesday, Rall’s attorney Roger Lowenstein confirmed the state high court will review the case. The syndicated artist drew the “Left Coast” cartoon for the Pasadena Weekly from 2009 to 2015, prior to going to work for the Times. He claims he was defamed by the daily newspaper after being fired in July 2015 for allegedly fabricating a situation in which he claims he was roughed up and handcuffed by a Los Angeles police officer. In a May 2015 blog post for the Times, Rall depicted a scene in which a West Side LAPD officer accosted him for jaywalking across Melrose Avenue on Oct. 3, 2001. Police provided the newspaper with a digital recording made by the officer during the encounter. But all that could be heard on that recording was banter between Rall and the officer. Based on that, authorities and officials with the Times determined the incident was a routine traffic citation that did not go down the way Rall described. “One day after Rall’s firing, the Los Angele Police Protective League published a press release titled ‘The LAPPL applauds LA Times firing of cartoonist Ted Rall,’” according to Rall’s lawsuit. The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, Cartoonists Rights Network International, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, the Index on Censorship, the National Coalition Against Censorship, the National Writers Union and Project Censored issued briefs against the newspaper and its owners. — André Coleman

HONORED TO SERVE

DISTRICT 2 CITY COUNCIL MEMBER MARGARET MCAUSTIN WILL NOT SEEK A FOURTH TERM BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Pasadena City Council member Margaret McAustin has announced she will not seek a fourth term in Margaret McAustin office in order to spend more time with her husband John, who is battling cancer. “Although I have been intending to seek another term, my husband has recently begun medical treatment that has caused me to re-think my priorities,” McAustin said in a statement issued Tuesday morning. “The added pressures of a political campaign are simply not compatible with my desire to support my husband in his illness.” In the statement, McAustin thanked her constituents for their support and kindness. “I have loved representing you and serving our community. It has truly been an honor,” she said. McAustin came to Pasadena almost 40 years ago and settled into the Historic Highlands landmark district, where she lives with John and their dog, Wrigley. A real estate consultant by profession, McAustin served as a city planning commissioner from 1993 to 1997. In 1997, she was tapped to serve a second term on the commission, and the following year she was chosen to sit on the city’s Charter Reform Task Force, which recommended changes to the city charter that resulted in an elected mayor and an expanded school board. McAustin defeated Jim Lomako in 2007 in a contentious election after Paul Little decided not to seek re-election to the council’s District 2 seat. McAustin was elected the same year as then-District 1 Councilwoman Jacque Robinson, putting two women on the council. Robinson gave up her seat to run a failed bid for mayor in 2015, leaving McAustin as the only woman on the council, something she calls her sole regret. “District 2 has many capable, committed residents — including a wealth of highly qualified women,” McAustin said. “I hope and believe that a woman will continue to represent us on the City Council.” “Council member McAustin has served District 2 extremely well and I wish her and John the best,” said Felicia Williams, who announced her intentions to run against McAustin in February. “I thank her for being one of the amazing women to blaze the trail on the City Council.” n

TWOHEY’S TAKES A ROAD TRIP

ICONIC RESTAURANT CLOSES AND PLANS TO MOVE TO SOUTH PASADENA BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Owners of Twohey’s Restaurant, which closed Sunday after 51 years in Alhambra, are ramping up plans to open again, this time in South Pasadena.“We look forward to continue making memories for the next 75 years at our new location at 424 Fair Oaks Ave. in South Pasadena,” the restaurant posted on social media last week. “Follow us on our website, Facebook and Instagram for updates on our Grand Opening in South Pasadena.” So far, a grand opening date for the South Pasadena location has not been announced. Two years ago, the owners opened a smaller version of the restaurant on Foothill Boulevard in Pasadena that offered a scaled down version of the menu, and included beer and cocktails. The original Twohey’s opened in Pasadena in 1943, and the restaurant moved to Atlantic Boulevard, near Huntington Drive, in Alhambra in 1951. In 2017, the owners of the iconic restaurant announced plans to move to South Pasadena after a new lease could not be worked out at the longtime location. Complicating matters for the business, parking at the Alhambra site became an issue after an In-N-Out burger moved in next door almost 20 years ago. The restaurant was scheduled to shut down permanently on Jan. 20, 2018, but owners found the location in South Pasadena and were able to keep the restaurant open in Alhambra on a month-to-month lease agreement. Earlier this year, the restaurant closed on Mondays in anticipation of the move. “We … are grateful for the support from the community throughout the years. The tremendous outpouring of love and loyalty during this time has been overwhelming, with legions of friends, family, and guests sharing their unique stories of what Twohey’s Restaurant has meant to them. Though it is bittersweet, we are excited for this new chapter and to continue the Twohey’s Restaurant legacy in South Pasadena,” said owner Jim Christos. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.18.19

CLOUDS AND CLIMATE Dr. Kate Marvel

Prof. Tapio Schneider

DR. KATE MARVEL AND PROFESSOR TAPIO SCHNEIDER ARE AMONG THE SCIENTISTS PARTICIPATING IN UPCOMING TALKS AT CALTECH DISCUSSING VALUABLE RESEARCH BEING CONDUCTED INTO CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CLOUDS AND CLIMATE CHANGE BY BLISS BOWEN

or artists, clouds are endless sources of fascination, inspiration, contemplation, and comfort. They’re similarly captivating for scientists, albeit for different reasons. Clouds and climate change are the focus of important research being conducted at NASA and elsewhere — and the topic of two presentations coming up at Caltech. “The Future is Cloudy: NASA’s Look at Clouds and Climate,” happening in Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium this Friday, will feature Dr. Kate Marvel of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University; Dr. Graeme Stephens of JPL’s Center for Climate Sciences; and Dr. Brian Kahn of JPL’s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Cloud Algorithm Lead. “Clouds and Climate Tipping Points” is a lecture being given by Caltech Professor Tapio Schneider in the school’s Beckman Auditorium on Wednesday, April 24. Schneider and Marvel are gratifyingly clear and down to earth as they explain how clouds are enlightening scientists about climate change. Schneider’s study is focused on making more accurate modeling for climate prediction. “That’s the key,” he says in calm, measured tones. It’s hard to say whether cloud behavior’s changing, he explains, but what is clear is that “uncertainties about how clouds will change dominate all uncertainties of climate predictions. These uncertainties are quite large. For example, marine stratocumulus clouds off the coast of California here cool the global climate by perhaps as much as 12, 13 degrees just by

reflecting sunlight; it would be 12, 13 degrees Fahrenheit warmer without them, or even 14 degrees. They have an enormously important effect on climate, yet current models cannot simulate them well. … We need to understand better what clouds will do.” “As the temperatures rise the climate changes, and those climate changes themselves can affect the temperature changes,” Marvel says. “We call those feedback processes. Some are fairly straightforward: you melt the ice in the Arctic, it’s less reflective, and that loss of that reflective shield makes the planet warmer. But clouds are evidence of feedback that’s not necessarily straightforward. And it turns out that the primary physical reason that we don’t understand how hot it’s going to get is because we don’t understand what clouds are going to do.” Attaining more accurate information about cloud behavior has practical benefits for things like infrastructure planning. Schneider recalls an unexpected storm several years ago just east of the Caltech campus. “I heard a rumbling outside and thought someone was taking the trash out, but it was pouring. In fact, there were trash cans and cars floating down the street. One of the storm drains that bring the water down from the foothills toward the ocean was overflowing; there was a giant sinkhole in the street, and water coming out of it. It was a case of stormwater management infrastructure being too small for intense rainfall. Rainfall will get more intense as climate warms, and you want to make sure CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

CLOUDS AND CLIMATE’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 09

whatever infrastructure is put underground is correctly sized for whatever will come.” With so many cloud-analyzing instruments on satellites orbiting Earth, are efforts being made to affect cloud behavior? The question itself feels like something ripped from science fiction. “Defi nitely,” acknowledges Marvel, who is also an eloquent writer and popular speaker. “But we are creating that science fiction.” Part of what is surreal about our current situation is the force with which some political entities have pushed back against scientific fi ndings regarding climate change. But as Marvel points out with no-nonsense clarity, “ice doesn’t care about politics. It just melts. “Physics continues to exist whether or not anybody believes in it,” she says. “There has been a recent political attempt to understand that a lot of these things are interrelated, so you don’t care about climate change OR the economy; you have to care about both. Because climate change is going to have so many effects. “People tend to think about climate change like it’s going to be a disaster movie. And in a lot of places, it will — like Paradise, California; that was a disaster. But I’m actually more scared about what it’s going to make us do to each other. History is full of examples of societies reacting in really counterproductive ways to adversity, and climate change is going to bring a lot of adversity. That’s where I think there’s such a place for the arts, for the social sciences, for all these different disciplines to really grapple with what’s coming. How do we prevent that scariest feedback, which is humans turning on each other and blaming each other?” Schneider is skeptical that cloud research will solve current global warming problems, but expresses confidence that “we’ll figure out a way to reduce emissions” and improving climate model accuracy with data from that research will help greatly. Climate change is a serious problem “that can be dealt with,” but he acknowledges having concerns that he did not have a few years ago. “Increasingly, the evidence coming in now points to the climate system being more sensitive to increased greenhouse concentrations,” he says. New models and data all point to “greater sensitivity,” which translates into greater climate impacts due to increased future CO2 concentrations. He simultaneously fi nds cause for optimism in “how much cheaper it has become to produce electricity energy from renewable sources. In many countries it is now cheaper to build a new solar plant than a new coal or oil-fi red power plant.” “We know what’s causing climate change; we know it’s greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, and we know what we’re doing to put those into the atmosphere,” Marvel states. “The fact that that causal relationship is so clear means that we know exactly what we have to do. I’m not minimizing the scale of that endeavor, but it’s not as if this is some natural phenomenon that we don’t understand and we have no power to stop. “We very much have the power to stop this. Whether we will or not, I don’t know, but I think we have to try.” ■ “The Future is Cloudy: NASA’s Look at Clouds and Climate” takes place 7-8:30 p.m. Friday, April 19, at Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium, 1200 E.

pon entering La Cabanita, we were greeted with every possible piece of decor you could imagine when picturing a Mexican-style restaurant: Colorful paper banners hanging across the ceiling, brightly painted walls, talavera printed tile on each table and across the bar, and beautiful murals showcasing key locations and scenes in Mexican culture. It was clear that the owners poured their love of their roots into the look and feel of La Cabanita. In a narrow hallway just beyond the bar are countless pictures lining the walls of celebrities and news anchors who all have paid visits and dined there.

favorites. There were two salsas — one green, the other deep red. While the darker salsa appeared to be spicier, it did not have nearly as much kick or flavor as the bright green version, which we couldn’t seem to get enough of. It had a very slight kick to it, but the flavor was unbelievable. Once seated, each of us knew what we wanted. We quickly ordered the carnitas a la cabanita ($17.99), the pozole ($13.95), and green enchiladas ($16.95). While the three traditional dishes are so different, they were each amazing in their own ways. The carnitas are made of deep fried pork served with frijoles charro (beans with bacon and chorizo), rice, a small side salad, guacamole, and handmade tortillas. Quite often carnitas tend to be on the dry side, but not those at La Cabanita. They simmered in small pieces, allowing the meat to cook more evenly and remain soft and flavorful. This combined with the bacon and chorizo in the beans created and outstanding dish, with leftovers for lunch the next day. Even on the warm day we visited, the pozole made complete sense. It's something that most Mexican restaurants offer, although often on weekends only, and yet, it's difficult to make well. La Cabanita, however, excels at this dish. It is made with pork, and the broth had all the key notes in it to make the mixture flavorful and fulfilling. The ratio of ingredients was great, yet the $13.95 mixture per bowl seemed to be stretching it a tad. Nonetheless, it was delicious. Next up, the green chile chicken enchiladas were equally loved by the table as well. Poured over the cheesy rolls were a delicious green salsa, sour cream and cheese. The enchiladas were then served with rice and black beans on the side. Something interesting about La Cabanita is that most of their combination plates and dishes are served with black beans, rather than the more traditional refried or pinto beans. They can be substituted, but it seemed unique to have black beans as the default. One of my dining companions whose favorite food is Mexican was thrown off by this, but I can attest they were amazing either way. Another seemingly simple food staple that can still easily go awry is red rice, and La Cabanita does not scrimp on their authentic flavors. Some

restaurants forego authenticity for aesthetics or a more appealing texture, but their rice tasted like the kind my grandmother makes on the rare occasion she visits from out of state. Suffice to say, I ate my entire side of rice thinking about fond memories with her — and those items you can’t buy at gimmicky chain restaurants. We also ordered one green chicken tamale ($3.75) after falling in love with their food to see how one of my favorite Mexican dishes holds up. Not surprisingly, the tamale was amazing. Growing up, my father would always say the way to tell if a tamale was good was by the masa alone, and this pillowy, chewy, flavorful dough would be highly approved by him. The tamales also tasted like memories of home and December gatherings with my aunts who would line up for hours at a time to make some of the best tamales I’ve ever tasted. The tamales at La Cabanita easily brought me that much joy, from the chicken down to the flavor-packed green sauce. I don’t know how I managed to eat all that I did, and then order flan for the dessert ($6.25). The friendly waitress let me know it is made in-house and comes in three flavors: vanilla which is the traditional, coconut, and pecan, and they all happen to be gluten free. We went with vanilla, and I was so glad I did. This flan was a great shareable grand finale to our dinner, and had every aspect I hope for in flan: firm yet gooey consistency and a sweet taste that is not overwhelming. There was not a single thing that I wished were different, and the staff was so friendly. I’m actually looking forward to going much more often. After having been seated for 15 minutes, my friend pointed out that there were no people (I counted one) sitting on their phones during their meal and conversation with whom they were eating. In 2019 that is nearly impossible, so either all of the guests were each equally polite, or La Cabanita is serving up food that is so good that you need to set your phone down for the entirety of dinner. Of course, it’s the latter. It is also family friendly, with a full bar (hello margarita carafes) and endless amounts of other dishes I’d love to try, and likely will when we return in the not too distant future.

BEST FOR EVERYONE

CLOSING THE RELATIONSHIP GAP THAT OCCURS BETWEEN CHILDREN AND THEIR DIVORCING PARENTS Dear Patti, I never thought I would have to say this, but I am getting a divorce. After two decades of marriage and three children, my husband left me for a much younger woman he works with. It all feels like such a ridiculous cliché, but it’s true. Now my estranged husband has the nerve to suggest that he and I go to counseling together for our kids’ sake! We were already in marital counseling the whole time he was carrying on his affair! Recently I was venting to my mother about how furious I am, and to my surprise, she immediately started talking about the many negative effects that divorce can have on children. She mentioned low academic achievement, low self-esteem, chronic stress, insecurity, and poor emotional self-regulation in adulthood. Now I have even more heavy worries about this divorce, which I never wanted and can’t do anything to change. My mom is right; the children need to come first. Now that we are in this predicament, I want to do what’s best for my three kids. What should I do? I’m so angry with my ex-husband but I’d rather deal with that on my own in individual therapy so I don’t have to see him anymore. Can joint therapy really help us now that we’re already getting divorced? — Isla Dear Isla, Many studies have shown that children from divorced families fare far better when two basic conditions are met. First and foremost is that parents learn to co-parent their children in a positive, collaborative way. The relationship between the divorced parents should be generally supportive. It is in the children’s best interest for them to be protected as much as possible from the negative consequences of a dissolved marriage. The goal is for parents who no longer love each other to still parent together successfully. Unfortunately this is easier said than done, especially in a situation like yours where you feel deeply betrayed by your spouse. Divorcing parents often believe that they’re going to get rid of the other parent as a negative force in their own lives. In actuality, when the divorce and custody battles ensue, they often find that old resentments continue to rise and interfere with their ongoing relationship. The second healing condition is that the familial relationships in the children’s lives that were important and meaningful to them prior to the divorce are peacefully and consistently maintained. This includes not only their relationships with their parents, but also with friends, grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousins. This is also not as easy as it sounds, since when there is a conflicting relationship between the parents, relatives and friends often take sides. There are other factors beyond the immediate divorce that may affect your children, such as changes in economic resources. Your children will be dependent on the two of you to help them understand what is happening. They will need assurances that you will be responsive to their needs and concerns. They will most likely be afraid of being abandoned, of being caught in the middle, and of future failures in their parents’ and their own lives. Children may act out in an attempt to process their own anger or as a cry for help. Disruption in either parent-child bond can result in one parent befriending the children at the cost of the other parent. Co-counseling can be an excellent place to talk about these issues together as they come up. The focus of treatment in counseling may include establishing a new post-divorce relationship with each other as parents, creating supportive environments for your children, decreasing the level of conflict between you two, and agreeing on parenting practices. The therapeutic focus may also include working on improving parent/child relationships, discussing how to respond to your children’s questions, dealing with your children’s negative beliefs that they may be responsible for your divorce, helping your children have a separate relationship with each of you, and helping your children express their feelings without judgment or discounting from either of you. Individual and couples therapy can be the place where you and your husband process your feelings, which can decrease the tendency to disclose too much to your children about the reasons for the divorce, financial struggles, sadness, personal worries, or criticisms. As a result, your children will be less distressed by the divorce and the many changes that it brings to their lives. 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.

here are not many rock bands that have lasted 50 years without taking a major break or losing their key leaders. The Rolling Stones and The Who spring to mind as the most prominent of those fortunate die-hards. But Emilio Castillo is proud to note that he and co-founders Stephen “Doc” Krupka and David Garibaldi have kept their band Tower of Power going strong as well. In fact, the horn-driven funk legends are currently engaged in a year-long world tour celebrating their five decades together that brings them to The Rose in Pasadena Friday night. Rather than simply resting on their longtime fan favorites, however, they’re touring to promote their 14-track newest album “Soul

Side of Town,” which has fans just as excited as ever. “We knew we were coming up on our 50th anniversary, so one of my old managers suggested this isn’t just the time to throw together 12 songs, but to make one of the finest albums of our career,” says Castillo. “He said record way more than you need and pick the best 12, like Michael Jackson used to do. “We had to go in and out of studios between tour dates and we recorded 28 tracks in all,” he continues. “When we signed to Mack Avenue Records they wanted to put it all out. We said no, let’s put out one and then put another out. We have another fully recorded, mixed, sequenced and ready to go before the end of this year.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

50 YEARS OF FUNK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

Since its formation in Oakland in 1968, the 10-member Tower of Power has forged a reputation as an ace band fluent in all realms of soul, rock and pop music with the sophistication and punch of a jazz big band. From their 1970 first album “East Bay Grease,” the interracial band became standouts of the Bay Area music scene that included pioneering like-minded bands such as Sly & The Family Stone, Cold Blood, Graham Central Station, The Pointer Sisters and The Sons of Champlin, plus such rock-oriented outfits as Santana, Betty Davis and Journey. Along with classic recordings, Tower of Power’s five-piece horn section — known for its power packed punch with two trumpets, two tenor saxophones, plus a baritone sax — became much in demand for studio sessions and live gigs. Among the hundreds of artists they have worked with are Elton John, Little Feat, Rod Stewart, Smokey Robinson and Aerosmith. But their most essential collaboration came with Huey Lewis and the News in that band’s mid-’80s heyday. “We did a lot of their recordings and toured for years, and it was much more than just a gig, because we were close personal friends and we saw eye to eye on a lot of things,” says Castillo. “I said if you promise you will promote Tower of Power at every turn, interview, and prominently onstage, we’ll do the tour. We were sort of at a low point and he did that. “Huey named each of us by name, gave us featured spots in the middle of shows, and talked about us in every single interview,” he adds. “The other arrangement was we could do midnight shows in each city at nightclubs like the Bottom Line in New York, and he’d say, ‘We’ll be there so come out and party with us, and the places were 18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 04.18.19

packed every time. He singlehandedly resurrected our career.” Another factor in the band’s revived success at the time was Castillo’s successful decision to become sober after years of drug and alcohol abuse. Now he notes that the band follows key rules of healthy living in order to maintain their rigorous tour schedule. “We’re careful about having good hotels, enough sleep, watch the food we’re eating, and pray together before we get on a plane or onstage,” says Castillo. “If someone needs space we give them space, or encouragement. It’s a family situation and that’s how we approach it. “In terms of the live performances, we have incredible fans,” he continues. “We may not have millions of fans that some of the huge stars have, but we have lots of fans worldwide and they are really nutcases for Tower of Power. The kind of energy we get from the crowd helps us get to the best performance we can.” That fan devotion is exemplified by the popular VIP package the band offers, which includes a premium seat for the concert, early entry to the venue and an exclusive pre-show meet and greet with members of the band that includes a personal photograph with them. VIPs also get access to the band’s pre-show sound check, a Q&A session, a specially designed TofP tour poster autographed by the band, a commemorative TofP pinset and merchandise item in addition to specially designed souvenir tickets and backstage laminates, all for $180. n Tower of Power performs at 9 p.m. Fri. at the Rose, 245 E.

STRAND OF OAKS PERFORMS MUSIC FROM CAREER-HIGH NEW ALBUM AT TERAGRAM BALLROOM MONDAY NIGHT

f Atlantic City is a low-rent substitute for Vegas, then Wildwood is AC’s lower-rent, harder-drinking cousin. Clinging to a chunk of barrier island shoreline toward the bottom end of South Jersey, Wildwood’s a tough survivor, the kind of place that explodes with trolley-hopping tourists and classic rock cover bands in summer and seasonally nurses a ghost town hangover in winter. It is not a place that springs to mind when envisioning meccas of creative replenishment and spiritual renewal. But to each his own. Philadelphia-based Strand of Oaks frontman Timothy Showalter loves Wildwood — especially in winter, when the shoobies (tourists) have gone home, the beaches are empty, and wind off the Atlantic feels like a razor slicing through your lungs. By the end of 2017, after recording and touring behind “Hard Love,” the burly indie-rocker was burned out and depressed; normally a prolific songwriter, he had nothing to say, or at least nothing he could figure out how to express. Then My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel cast him a lifeline, essentially saying: If you want to make some music, I’m here. Showalter accepted, Bro-

emel promptly booked studio time and recruited MMJ bandmates — drummer Patrick Hallahan, keyboardist Bo Koster and bassist Tom Blankenship — and longtime friend Jason Isbell also signaled his availability. But Showalter had no songs. So he retreated to Wildwood for a few solitary weeks of contemplating and writing about hedonistic years on the road, family life, and new beginnings. The result was the soul-bracing “Eraserland,” recorded in Louisville, Kentucky, and released last month by Dead Oceans. You can almost hear the Atlantic pounding behind certain tracks. The album is a 10-song journey from question to answer. Opening track “Weird Ways” confesses, “I don’t feel it anymore” — as in, Whither art thou, O muse? Broemel and the MMJ crew empathetically animate the stormy waters of Showalter’s songs, from the droney title track to the churning “Moon Landing” (with muscular guitar from Isbell) and sweet pop of “Ruby.” “Keys,” a love song to Showalter’s wife, sounds like War On Drugs meets “My Hometown”era Springsteen as it expresses gratitude for a love that’s genuine

while resizing dreams to manageable size for an uncertain future. Showalter sings with the tender hope of a man bruised by fear. Dreamy closer “Forever Chords” responds to the despair of “Weird Ways” by acknowledging artists’ struggle to maintain equilibrium, and the truth that the only way past fear — of rejection, writer’s block, poor choices — is to work through it. Koster’s keyboard playing’s gorgeous, and Showalter has never sounded more vulnerable, vocally or lyrically: “Are we looking for answers Or just filling in the holes The problem with living Is one day you won’t Major to minor With a slow beating pulse… If you believe you can be loved You’ll outlive your past” It’s an album that grows on you; one you can grow with over time. Wildwood in wintertime somehow seems more appealing. n Strand of Oaks headlines Teragram Ballroom, 1234 W. 7th St., Downtown LA, 8 p.m. Monday, April 22; $20. Wild Pink opens.

MDOU MOCTAR, Ilana (The Creator) (Sahel Sounds): HHHH

Guitar-centric albums like those that helped define the classic rock era have long since ceased to dominate pop culture, but inspired Nigerian guitarist Moctar owns his Hendrix-purpled musical heritage while turbo-charging desert blues with a lightning bolt of relevance. The righteous title track addresses uranium mining in Niger (“Our benefits are only dust”), and frenzied, rocking standouts “Kahane Tarhanin,” “Asshet Akal” and the sevenminute shred-fest “Tarhatazed” are similarly rooted in hardships endured by the Tuareg community and the violence and environmental devastation afflicting West Africa. A vital expansion of the canon. At Zebulon in Silver Lake Saturday, April 20. mdoumoctar.bandcamp.com

HONEYBLOOD, In Plain Sight (Marathon Artists): HHH

Recording in LA with St. Vincent producer John Congleton, Scottish songwriter Stina Tweeddale ventures into hallucinatory territory with rockers like “She’s a Nightmare,” the thrumming “You’re a Trick” and spacey “Tarantella.” Her thoughtprovoking lyrics, punchy vocals and stylistic shifts — from guitar-centered rock to dark grooves, classic girl group pop (“The Third Degree”) to ’80s synth-rock (“Touch”) — combine to make this reality-questioning set cut and stick more than expected.

ANNA TIVEL, The Question (Fluff and Gravy): HHH½

The Portland singer-songwriter’s fourth album empathetically conveys the dreams and frustrations of characters (“Homeless Child,” “Two Strangers,” the fire-robbed “Anthony”) informed by her extensive road travels. “Unbar the pearly gate, unblock the road/ ’Cause down here at the border… I’m just an animal,” she sings over atmospheric strings and a tight drumbeat during the migrantinspired “Fenceline”; elsewhere, an otherworldly groove underscores the heat and despair of “Worthless.” Producer Shane Leonard’s sensitive arrangements enhance the sense of entering an alternate world of Tivel’s creation. Annativel.com

WILL KIMBROUGH, I Like It Down Here (Daphne): HHHH

“I killed a man to get in here,” the veteran songwriter/ guitarist sings like a disembodied ghost over swampy licks on “Buddha Blues.” It’s a highlight of an ingratiatingly listenable album that finds Kimbrough sliding up to sweet pop high notes (“Hey Trouble”) and getting inventive with blues forms while dealing with cycles of love and loss, sin and redemption, and his Southern heritage. “Alabama (For Michael Donald)” evokes the South’s endless duality, pairing a lulling pastoral melody with the chilling tale of Donald’s 1981 lynching; illuminated by stormy slide guitar and Shemekia Copeland’s authoritative harmony, it’s a stunning piece of songwriting and history.

THURSDAY

Krystel Roche and Shannon Lee Clair in Diana of Dobson’s

Funny, Sexy, Moving

ANTAEUS THEATRE CO. BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO A LIBERATING ROMANTIC COMEDY FROM 1908 STARTING TONIGHT BY CARL KOZLOWSKI Most theaters that stage play revivals focus on the canonical works of legendary playwrights, like Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde. But the Glendale-based Antaeus Theatre Company is shining a spotlight on an overlooked gem when it presents the 1908 romantic comedy “Diana of Dobson’s” from tonight, April 18, through June 3. The play follows the story of Diana, a woman who inherits enough money to free her from a lifetime of drudgery, yet impulsively decides to spend it all on a madcap, month-long taste of the high life. What she learns about love, money and society may surprise us all, particularly in its relevance to present-day themes. “It’s not about a spending spree but freedom, that this woman has been living with extremely limited options in which she had to either marry someone or work in an extremely menial capacity and have little control over her life,” says director Casey Stangl. “When she inherits, she wants to discover what it’s like to be free and have choices. It’s about limited options for women and it’s about income inequality between people who have money and people who don’t, and how some people can say and do what they want and others can’t.” “Diana” marks Stangl’s fifth time directing for Antaeus, and she’s facing the challenge that all Antaeus shows present: the theater company partner-casts all of its productions. That means each play produced by the theater splits the show dates between two separate ensembles composed of its members, a practice born of the fact that many of its members are veteran TV and film actors in frequent demand for other projects. But there’s another twist to that process with “Diana.”

“We have an interesting situation this time around, because we lost one of our Diana’s early on and ended up making a decision to go with one woman,” explains Stangl. “It’s the lead role with only one actor in both casts. One of the things we’re also doing with this production is having some of the smaller supporting roles played by the same group of actors, whether they’re working with Diana, hotel staff or homeless people. Having the same actors places the context of the world of people who have money and those who don’t in a uniquely visual way.” Learning to play the role with two completely different casts could easily have terrified most actors, but star Abigail Marks has instead considered the experience hugely enjoyable. “I love this play, and I’m so lucky to be getting to play a leading lady who is tough and funny and unapologetic about who she is and what she wants,” says Marks. “The play has a fantastic internal life that allows it to be about workers’ rights and, gender equality and sets us up to have a conversation that’s much deeper in a very powerful package within a romantic comedy surface. “I think many people want to see a play or title they know and I’m hoping that people won’t ignore this title they don’t know and that isn’t sexy and take the chance to come in and see the play,” she adds. “Because it’s all the things that somebody would want in a play: funny, sexy and moving and I think it’s a thrill of a ride.”n “Diana of Dobson’s” runs from tonight through June 3 at Antaeus Theatre Company, 110 E. Broadway, Glendale. Tickets are $35. Call (818) 506-1983 or visit antaeus.org.

n 2015, a 14-year-old high school basketball star named John Smith was running atop the ice of a lake near St. Louis when he fell through and disappeared underwater for 15 minutes. It was already surprising when a paramedic was able to locate and pull his freezing body out of the water, but he was considered a certain death. Nonetheless, he was airlifted to a hospital where doctors engaged in an array of desperate measures for a full hour before declaring him deceased. Yet, moments later, Smith’s devoutly Christian mother burst into the room and prayed in a loudly demanding voice for God to bring John back to life — and his heart started to beat again. As such, he made medical history for being revived after the longest period of cardiac failure ever recorded. That remarkable resurrection, and the harrowing weeks that followed as John defied one set of odds after another to make a complete recovery, form the basis of the new film “Breakthrough.” The true-life tale has staked out a spot on Easter weekend, when another famous resurrection is memorialized by Christians. It manages to rise above the usual faith-based films of the season through solid performances, some unexpectedly nuanced moments and impressive direction by veteran TV director Roxane Dawson in her feature film debut. The film stars Chrissy Metz of the NBC hit series “This Is Us” as Joyce Smith, John’s mother, and she makes the transition to the big screen as a commanding presence. It’s a perfect fit for her, as her millions of fans already enjoy seeing her front and center amid the high emotions found in her series. “Breakthrough” begins by showing John (Marcel Ruiz) as an outsider at his private Christian high school, since he was a native Guatemalan adopted young into a family living in an overwhelmingly white American suburb. He’s going through normal yet mild teenage rebellion, treating his adoptive parents with sullen silence, when his tragic fall through the ice occurs. Once Joyce’s impassioned prayers appear to bring

LAEMMLE’S PLAYHOUSE 7 673 E Colorado Bl, (626) 844-6500. John back to life, he still has to fight to reclaim his functions as his doctor (Dennis Haysbert) repeatedly warns Joyce and her husband Brian (Josh Lucas) that John will likely be trapped in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. But as Joyce and her pastor (Topher Grace) lead ever-growing numbers of people in praying for John, one level of recovery after another occurs, reinforcing Joyce’s faith while shaking the doubts of others. A movie like “Breakthrough” gives away much of its storyline right in the very fact of its premise — no miracle, no movie — and it does have a few too many prayer scenes bogging down a 15- or 20-minute stretch in the middle. But director Dawson brings harrowing tension to John’s fall through the ice and the battle to save him, and later uses inventive visuals to convey his inner battle for survival. “Breakthrough” has a couple of interesting aspects to it beyond what’s on screen. It marks the first 20th Century Fox film to be released under that legendary studio’s new ownership under Disney after their recent mega-merger, so the industry will be watching to see how things turn out at the box office for it amid the shakeups. It also marks the first film by its lead producer DeVon Franklin at Fox after a lengthy and successful run producing faith-based films at Sony (“Heaven Is For Real” and “Miracles from Heaven” were among his hits there). The past 15 years or so since “Passion of the Christ” became a blockbuster have seen a growing number of Christian-themed films hit theaters, but most have been heavy-handed, treacly or downright incompetent (“God’s Not Dead”). Franklin has succeeded by placing quality actors in the service of stories that manage to include some levels of nuance that make them appealing to audiences beyond the proverbial choir. Those looking for a little inspiration on this Easter weekend will likely find it here. n

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 this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
