Michelin Mystery

Where the rubber meets the restaurant, stars will follow

By Ellen Snortland Pasadena Weekly Columnist

One of my former students from Cal State Los Angeles wrote to me while she was briefly in town. “We’re taking you and your husband to a Michelin-rated Chinese restaurant to thank you for the years of service you have provided for so many of your students.” Until recently, Joan had also been in my private writing classes.

“That would be lovely,” I said. Joan grew up in the heart of Beijing and has come to study in Southern California and then stayed.

We met her at Bistro Na’s in Temple City, a predominantly Asian area of the San Gabriel Valley. We had already perused Bistro Na’s online menu and were very excited at the prospect of dining there.

We walked into the lobby and notice the Michelin stars prominently displayed for 2019 and 2021. “Hmm …” I thought, “Where are 2022 and 2023?”

Bistro Na’s is part of a Beijing-based franchise specializing in the Imperial cuisine of the Qing Dynasty and is well known by the best chefs in Los Angeles, who often dine there. The décor is serene, featuring Chinese musical instruments mounted near the ceiling in “shadow boxes.” We were warmly greeted and seated.

Joan asked us each to pick a dish. The prices are high; Joan and her spouse are not rich, so I’m embarrassed as they are so proud and excited to treat us! I had my mouth set on a $26 bowl of soup I’d seen on the website. Joan encouraged me to order it, even though we couldn’t share.

“Pick another dish, not just the soup,” she urged. So I ordered the smoked duck breast. It arrived in a few minutes and is astonishingly good, a room-temperature appetizer I could have been happy with as a main dish. The other entrees come soon after and are … OK. Nothing is mind-and-palate-bendingly good, nor worth the prices on the menu. But where is the soup?

I kept waiting for it … and waiting … and waiting. I asked, and they said the chef is still working on it. Finally, the soup arrives — a covered cup of vaguely chicken-flavored water with gray, rubbery, bony chicken chunks. It looks nothing like the photo I’d seen. What a letdown!

My husband tries some of the soup and agreed it was gross. I thought about sending it back; however, it is now so late in the meal that I decided to blow it off and never eat there again.

Afterward, it occurred to me that I didn’t know anything about Michelin stars. All these years being impressed by a Michelin rating … what does it mean, exactly? And how is one earned? How does a restaurant lose it? If the soup was an indicator, I could see how Bistro Na’s could be lacking.

Yes, this is the same Michelin as the tire company. To encourage auto journeys in the early 1900s, then post-World War I, Michelin published a guide to recommended restaurants. According to TripSavvy.com, the three-star system goes like so:

One Star: A good place to stop on your journey, indicating a very good restaurant in its category, offering cuisine prepared to a consistently high standard.

Two Stars: A restaurant worth a detour, indicating excellent cuisine and skillfully and carefully crafted dishes of outstanding quality.

Three Stars: A restaurant worth a special journey, indicating exceptional cuisine where diners eat extremely well, often superbly. Distinctive dishes are precisely executed using superlative ingredients.

When rubber was a precious commodity and automobiles were rare, a person didn’t want to waste precious resources on any ol’ place! Now it’s the same, except it’s gas prices that have gone sky-high. You don’t want to be a Downtown Los Angeles or Pasadena “foodie” and undertake a significant schlep if the restaurant is not good.

I wrote a Yelp review, which was less than glowing, although I held back. Bistro Na’s PR folks responded quickly on Yelp. They wished I’d complained during the meal. While I understand that, I was thinking of my hosts, and it just seemed wrong to complain in front of them.

Considering their reputation, I informed Bistro Na’s that I wanted to give them another chance, since I was planning on writing a piece about Michelin ratings anyway.

As it turns out, Michelin sends out anonymous reviewers who specialize in not being noticed. We stuck out, so the service at Bistro Na’s “take two” was over the top; if we’d asked them to feed us, I think they would have! Our server also irritated me by sucking up to my husband a lot, even though I was the point person. I didn’t need her to be obsequious with me, but I wanted to be at least equal in her attention.

I’m happy to report that, this time, the soup was excellent, and every dish we ordered lived up to its potential and reputation. Of course, every restaurant has “off” nights, but you never know … It’s probably a good idea to regard every customer as a potential Michelin reviewer. And maybe it’d be judicious to double-check that lid-covered cup of chicken soup. After all, a Michelin reviewer can giveth a star and also taketh it away.

Workers Walk Out

Third wave of hotel strikes reaches Pasadena, derailing operations

By Morgan Owen Pasadena Weekly Managing Editor

The third wave of hotel strikes hit hotels in Pasadena as cooks, room attendants, dishwashers, servers, bellmen and front desk agents at the Hyatt Place Pasadena and Hilton Pasadena walked out.

The workers are part of Unite Here Local 11, which first authorized the strikes in June with the hope that a series of walkouts would inspire better wages, health care benefits and adjusted workloads.

The first wave of strikes took place over Fourth of July weekend, impacting mainly hotels in Downtown Los Angeles and the Westside. The second wave of walkouts were July 10 through 11, reaching loca-

tions near LAX. This third wave impacts Pasadena and West Hollywood.

Unite Here Local 11 hopes the strike will inspire better wages, health care benefits and adjusted workloads following upheaval from the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the union, hotels received $15 billion in bailouts, letting hotels increase profits as working conditions soured. The union also states their concern that this new contract period will fall during two mega-events hosted in LA, the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028.

“Our members were devastated first by the pandemic, and now by the greed of their bosses,” said Kurt Petersen, co-pres-

ident of Unite Here Local 11. “The industry got bailouts while we got cuts. Now, the hotel negotiators decided to take a four-day holiday instead of negotiating. Shameful.”

Responses from hotels have been limited. In published reports from the 4th of July strike, hotel representatives blame the strike on the unmovable mindset of Unite Here Local 11, stating they have been uncooperative in negotiations.

Workers have expressed that the strike is less about future-looking and more about the urgency of economic distress.

“I am on strike because, as a mom, I will do anything to keep a roof over my kids’ heads,” said Lilia Sotelo, a housekeeper at the Sheraton Gateway Los An-

geles Hotel. “Rent is soaring, but wages are not. The industry is booming. They need to share with us who make them prosperous.”

Yesenia Romero, a housekeeper at Hyatt Regency LAX for the last eight years, said, “I am on strike because we are being overworked and underpaid. As a single mom, I pay nearly $1,800 a month in rent and work two jobs just to try to keep up. Hyatt says we are the heart of the hotel, yet they’re the heartless ones who refuse to agree to the wages and pension we need to live a dignified life.”

Livability is also at the forefront of the union’s mind. A survey of Unite Here Local 11 workers showed that 53% of their members moved in the last five years to

Half

combat the soaring cost of housing. Union negotiators are requesting an immediate $5 per hour raise with an additional $3 per year for the contract duration. Currently, union workers make approximately $20 to $25 per hour.

“No worker should have to sleep in their car between shifts because they cannot afford to live in Los Angeles,” Petersen said. “Workers are striking because they believe that all workers in this city — whether you teach, write, act or clean hotel rooms — deserve a wage that allows them to live with dignity in Los Angeles. The hotel industry is flush with cash. Room rates are soaring. The industry’s greed makes workers unable to live in the city where they work.”

Negotiations have been fraught, with little progress being made between the union and hotels. Before the initial wave of walkouts on the Fourth of July weekend, workers at the Westin Bonaventure, one of Downtown LA’s largest hotels, reached an agreement that conceded to the wage increases proposed by Unite Here Local 11. Although the two reached an agreement on June 28 before the strike began, the union followed through with the

walkout, given that deal was not found with the remaining 44 unionized hotels throughout Southern California.

Since then, however, Petersen said hotels have been reluctant to concede any increases.

“Just when you thought it was not possible, the hotels hit a new low in greed and cruelty,” Petersen said. “They walked in with a proposal that would make Ebenezer Scrooge envious. Not a penny more for anything. Not for wages, pension or healthcare. Workers cannot afford to pay rent; meanwhile, room rates at the Waldorf Astoria clock in at $1,400 tonight. ... Their greed has forced us to consider calling a boycott of Los Angeles.”

This wave of strikes has caused groups such as the Democratic Governors Association, Japanese American Citizens League, W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Vanderpump Rules either to cancel or reschedule conferences and events. Unite Here Local 11 also sent a letter to the American Political Science Association, requesting they cancel their annual meeting, bringing more than 6,000 attendees to the Southern California area.

National Night Out

Community-building celebration returns to Pasadena

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

Communities across the United States will come together the first Tuesday in August, all in the name of crime prevention.

Founded in 1985, National Night Out brings neighbors and local law enforcement together for celebratory events like block parties, festivals and parades. In Pasadena, lead organizer from the police department’s community relations section, Susana Porras, said the events help the public and police department form relationships.

“This is the 27th annual National Night Out for the city of Pasadena,” she said about the national event founded by Philadelphia resident Matt Peskin. “It was started in response to the high crime rate at the time. There’s a theory that says if you are more involved in your community and the citizens come out, they participate, then

the crime rate goes down. … It’s about the people taking the streets back and using it for camaraderie and getting to know first responders and getting to know one another, your neighbors.”

Pasadena’s 2023 National Night Out runs 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1. Although community events and social gatherings are planned throughout the city, the kick-off event will be held at the Pasadena Police Department on Garfield Avenue from 5 to 7 p.m.

“We start one hour early,” Porras explained. “We have about 20 block parties happening throughout the city, so the police department kicks it off here in front of the station and then all the different divisions set out to other sections of the city to visit all of the different sites, all the different barbecues, all the different ice cream socials and people just getting together. At the churches, people have ordered food trucks. It’s a good way for the police officers to go

out there and actively meet and become part of the community for an evening.”

This year, the air operations, traffic and

detective sections and the street crimes unit, among others, will venture through Pasadena and meet community members.

Back at the station, Pasadena PD will welcome approximately 30 vendors who vary from department representatives for services like domestic violence prevention and Crime Stoppers to food providers like Starbucks, Lifeway Kefir and Chick-fil-A. Other groups will discuss mental and physical health improvement methods.

“I wanted as much of the community to come in as possible,” Porras said. “I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to accommodate all 30 vendors here in front of PD, so we’ve extended it over to Day One just around the corner.

“To have 30 vendors come in, often what happens is they don’t know about each other, so even just the vendors getting to know one another, to see what services each one provides, is a big advantage for the people who are providing services. And I want the community to come in and take advantage of everything that is going to be offered, all of the freebies, all of the samples, the free hot dogs, everything while supplies last.”

A piano player will perform in front of the police station throughout the kickoff. Porras said that music has long been an important part of Pasadena’s National

Night Out celebration.

“I love it that people bring out their instruments and play and they sing,” she said. “I used to work for the former councilmember, the late honorable John J. Kennedy, and he used to go out there and sing at these block parties wherever he could find a microphone. It’s just nice to see people go out there and enjoy the music and have a good time.”

For the Pasadena PD kick off, parking at city hall or surrounding the police department will be free after 5 p.m. with vendors parking off site to free up space for guests. Porras also encouraged any nearby residents to walk to the station and emphasized the importance of taking advantage of local venues to forge new connections.

“I want people to build relationships,” she said.

“I want them to be familiar with the first responders, with the police department, with the fire department. We always find ourselves in a situation where we meet the first responders when it’s an emergency. It’s kind of nice to meet them when there isn’t one. We want to be able to be comfortable with our police officers and with our firefighters before we actually need them, so

it’s a nice way to be one-on-one with them as opposed to when they’re really needed.”

For Porras, the city’s National Night Out has played a central role in her life as a Pasadena resident. She said it’s one of her favorite events of the year and that she’s witnessed its ability to improve communities.

“I purchased a home 23 years ago in an area of Pasadena that was riddled with crime,” Porras described. “At the time, I didn’t know what to do, and I remember the police department gave me a couple of suggestions. They said, ‘Hey, form a neighborhood watch and do a block party.’ And at the time I thought they were the most ridiculous suggestions. … ‘How is this going to help me get rid of the gang member next door?’ And that’s what it was for because these events where you get together with your neighbors and everybody gets to know one another, you quickly figure out that everybody wants the same thing. Everybody wants to live in a safe neighborhood.”

Porras said that her neighborhood held 14 consecutive block parties from 2009 until the pandemic. They’re holding another this year.

“I think people need to use their front yards,” she explained. “I think children need to be outside playing, and I think we’re in a time where we’re afraid to do that. … One of the things that we did as neighbors is we started putting our patio furniture outside in the front yards to encourage the neighbors to stay out in the front yards. … That’s what we want to encourage for National Night Out. We want everybody to come out so that they can discourage crime in their neighborhood.

“You hear a lot about the word gentrification, and the really nice thing about my neighborhood is that 80% of the people that were there when I first moved there are still there. These people are working class people who took back their neighborhood, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Pasadena City Council votes in favor of nonlethal methods to manage coyote concerns

By Leah Schwartz Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Pasadena residents, including PETA representatives, flocked to a recent Pasadena City Council meeting, opposing a plan to begin trapping and killing coyotes in an effort to keep them out of neighborhoods.

The motion was brought to the council after a select group of Arroyo homeowners spoke out about a perceived increase in the coyote population. While a few residents at the July 17 meeting expressed support for a trap-and-kill program, citing recent pet attacks, most residents were horrified at the prospect of lethal control to curb the coyote population. Over 30 residents attended the meeting to urge the city council to oppose lethal means.

The council unanimously voted in favor of nonlethal recommendations put forth by the health department, which included increased public outreach and education,

helping individual homeowners protect their property, improving the coyote reporting system, sharing information with other cities and hiring a consultant to conduct a field study.

Torrance is the only other city in Los Angeles County implementing coyote snare traps.

“In Pasadena, sightings of coyotes this year have gone down 22 %,” said PETA Vice President Lisa Lange. “In Torrance, once they started trapping, they went up 14 %. It doesn’t work.”

Pasadena Public Health Director Manuel Carmona gave a presentation with recommendations for the council and provided multiple studies pointing to the same conclusion: trapping and killing coyotes does not decrease populations or deter them from human civilization. In some cases, implementing a trap-andkill program can even increase the population, disrupting the pack structure,

leading to a rebound effect.

“If you vote to strangle and gas coyotes, you’ll cause immense suffering and tarnish the city’s reputation,” said PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Surely we don’t want our city labeled as the one that chose to ignore all humane options that work in favor of the cruel ones that don’t.”

Coyotes are naturally fearful of humans. Several residents came armed with largescale images of garbage bins overflowing with edible food waste and cat food left outside unattended, all of which can lead to increased coyote-human interaction.

“This is a cat buffet we’re offering to coyotes. It’s easily taken care of, and it’s humane,” Lang added.

Hazing, the practice of making loud noises, spraying water, using bright lights and throwing things to encourage a healthy fear of humans, is recommended by experts to deter coyote contact with people and pets.

Many pointed out that people choose to live in Pasadena — a wildlife corridor connecting wildlife to natural habitats — because of its proximity to the San Gabriel Mountains and natural beauty.

“I’m opposed to any lethal control mea-

sures for controlling the coyote population,” said Pasadena resident Alex Rubio. “Coyotes play an important ecological role by regulating the population of smaller mammals, such as rodents.”

Rubio explained that killing coyotes could disrupt the ecological balance, potentially leading to an increased rodent population, which could result in the spread of rodent-borne diseases like Lyme disease and Hantavirus.

Along with her constituents, Vice May-

or Felicia Williams expressed dismay at the prospect of using snare traps on coyotes.

“I was really disturbed to see this on the agenda and really kind of saddened,” she said. “Just from a moral perspective, it seems like animal cruelty to me,”

Mayor Victor Gordo, also an opponent of lethal control methods, noted that there are coyote sightings in his neighborhood daily, but “it’s part of what happens when we live so close to foothills.”

Cancer Support Community Pasadena is now…

Last year the city received 159 calls regarding coyote sightings — a dozen ended in the death or injury of a pet — which has gone down this year. Through May 30, there were only 51 reports regarding coyotes, with two pet deaths. There have been no reports of attacks on humans.

Pasadena residents may use lethal control methods in the event of a confirmed attack on a person. California law prohibits relocating trapped wildlife, which must be released or euthanized.

“This is not a coyote problem. This is a human problem,” resident Lauren Hamlet said. “To say that there is an overpopulation of coyotes is not accurate. Coyote populations grow to the size of the carrying capacity of their environment.”

Hamlet said responsibility rests on Pasadena citizens to maintain healthy boundaries with wildlife, and any interactions with coyotes directly result from residents’ lifestyles, habits and behaviors.

Brick Fest Builds Bonds

Pasadena welcomes Lego convention, promotes togetherness

By Kristine Pascual Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Lego is not just about the outcome, but the experience and memories made while assembling the sets.

Organizers of Brick Fest Live are hoping to build memories, too, at the convention on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30, at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Lego fans can dive into a 200,000-brick pit and play; create with bricks that shine under a black light, and build and race Lego derby cars down a 35-foot track. It’s considered the country’s largest fan-made Lego convention.

“Brick Fest Live is a family Lego event,” said CJ Donovan, Brick Fest Live’s senior show manager. “It’s the No. 1 most-attended family Lego event in the country. The show is designed for families and children with a lot of things to see and do.”

Brick Fest Live will also feature lifesize Lego models; a floor mural to which attendees can add bricks; a graffiti wall; and a Minecraft Zone.

The celebration will also include Lego builds of superheroes, Disney characters and architectural figures.

Founded in 2014 in Philadelphia by Chad Collins and his daughter, Jordan, Brick Fest Live recently kicked off its tour in Fresno, with events from July and De-

cember. The itinerary also includes stops in Washington, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Oregon and Colorado.

“Lego is good because it transcends generations,” Donovan said. “I played with them when I was a kid. My kids play with Lego, their kids are going to play with Lego. It’s a good family toy.”

Apparently so. The Lego Group’s revenue increased 17% from 2021 to 2022, reporting $9.2 billion in sales. A “large portion” of those sales were for AFOL — adult fans of Lego, according to NBC News.

During the year, the Lego Group opened 155 new Lego-branded stores, reaching 904 stores globally. The company also broke ground on a new carbon-neutral run factory in Binh Duong, Vietnam, and an-

nounced plans to build a carbon-neutral run factory in Richmond, Virginia.

Brick Fest Live will also have two stores on-site, selling sets, keychains, minifigure mystery packs and rare merchandise available.

The convention offers two types of tickets: general admission and VIP. With VIP admission, attendees will receive an exclusive build, badge and a collectible pin. All activities are included in both packages.

“My favorite Lego set was the Disney castle I built with my daughters,” Donovan said. “That was fun to do. It probably took us about eight hours to build because we were taking our time, but we did it over the course of a few days. It was just fun to hang out.”

Soulful Melodies Resonate

Ladies Sing the Blues capture spotlight in Glendale

By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Pick up a tub of chalk and head to Glendale to fill your soul with the sounds of three women crooning classic and contemporary blues on Sunday, July 30.

Ladies Sing the Blues is providing the entertainment on the second day of the Chalk-a-Doodle Festival at the Glendale Marketplace. They close the festival, following The Jumpin Joz Band.

Linda Cooper founded the group last year with help from her husband, guitarist Vince White. Since then, the women have brought their solo shows in numerous venues. This upcoming one features Pamela Threats, Sharron Moore and Devon Rowland.

Each of the three women will perform a handful of solos that showcase their style and then they will come together in a grand finale. One song they will sing to-

gether, partly in a tribute to the name of the festival, is Koko Taylor’s “Wang Dang Doodle.”

Two of the women shared what to expect in the upcoming performance.

Moore is a Pasadena native with a career that has included performing with or opening for such artists as Tom Petty, The Counting Crows, The Temptations, Jefferson Starship and Roy Gaines. She describes her style as a “fusion of smooth jazz, soul and gospel laced with the gritty sounds of bayou blues and rock ‘n’ roll.”

She’d often performed with White, and Cooper invited her to join the group when she was assembling it. Moore appreciates the flexibility in choosing which cover songs she will perform.

“When I perform with my band, the cover songs are not just randomly thrown onto my set list,” Moore said.

“I really look at them. They have to

have a meaning and a vibe and a feel that represents who I am. What I do is I take those songs and restructure them the way I would perform them — not how Billie Holiday would perform them, but how Sharron Moore would perform them.”

Much of that is intuitive, tapping into her musical history and her style. The song has to resonate with her. It has to come across as sultry or passionate.

“When people hear me perform, they better hold on,” Moore said.

“Hold on, because you can expect to go on a very soulful, magical carpet ride with a lot of twists and turns, a lot of smoothness. There will be some ups and downs and you should expect to come in and move, to stomp your feet and fingers.”

Moore counts Tina Turner and James Cleveland as two of her biggest musical influences. Like Tina Turner, she is a tall, leggy woman who likes to wear short dresses. More importantly, she said, she is very passionate and raw, her music tapping into the blues/rock vibe.

quently joined. She praises the idea and execution of the group in part because blues has always been a male-dominated genre.

“For her to just focus strictly on the ladies and allow us to come together and have our moment to really shine is something I just love,” Threats said.

Blues has been a part of her life for as long as Threats can remember. Her father played blues guitar and her grandfather was deep into the blues. However, females, she said, capture the genre.

“It’s something that speaks so deeply from the soul and it’s oftentimes so much pain,” Threats said. “It can go across genders, but the female voice is definitely necessary in this space. Women have always been that much more proficient at expressing themselves emotionally and being emotionally intellectual.”

Threats wants her audience at the festival to have fun and to enjoy the performance as much as she does. Her goal, she said, is to make sure that everyone leaves feeling lifted.

Moore’s exposure to Cleveland came through her mother, who was a gospel singer.

“James Cleveland told a story in all his gospel songs,” Moore said. “He’s preaching and the choir comes in. I feel like I’m preaching when I tell a story with my music. I feel like there’s a choir behind me.”

Moore loves playing to a hometown crowd and considers the chalk festival as a great event.

“It is a wonderful family event for everyone to come out,” Moore said. “Young, old, babies, amazing artists with a lot of creativity and self-expression — it’s just absolutely magical with some of the pieces that come to life with just sidewalk chalk.”

Threats has been the lead singer for Idle Hand Band and the Bobby Alto Band. She met Cooper through White.

“The moment I met her, we just clicked,” Threats said. “She was just a great, warm spirit and I loved her immediately. We were just always each other’s fan. When she had this brainchild of creating Ladies Sing the Blues, she was like I was definitely one of the first people she thought of to come on board.”

A death in the family kept Threats from participating in the kickoff, but she subse-

“It’s such a spiritual connection when you’re on stage and you have this audience that is giving their energy to you and you’re releasing your energy so there’s this exchange,” Threats said. “I want to give everything of myself and have them be introduced to me as a blues artist.”

Threats said that while she has performed many genres, she always returns to the blues. She loves spreading her joy and to watch as her music gets people moving about and tapping their feet. It’s when people have had a great time with her that she feels she has achieved her goal.

Threats was the last of five children. Every Friday, they went to the record store to buy the latest vinyl, whether it was blues or the Jackson Five. Around the time her dad and grandfather started playing “grown folks’ music,” the kids went to the back of the house to play games. Meanwhile, Threats stayed there, sitting on her father’s lap.

“I was always fascinated with this music,” Threats said. “I can’t even explain to you why. Something about the guitar riffs and to hear the way they wailed when they sang.”

Her father had an amplifier set up so

kids could sing along with a microphone. Threats said she would always cry for the mic and her siblings would object, pointing out that she wasn’t going to say anything. They have a photo of her when she was 2 or 3 years old, just holding the mic and then falling asleep.

“I thought the voices were coming out of the microphone and I just wanted to have it because I would hear these voices,” Threats said.

“I was fascinated with a microphone and just loved the music. The kids would go play and I would stay there with my daddy and just sit in his lap and absorb the music. My dad told me very early on, oh, you’re a blues girl. My mom wanted me to be a dancer, but I just wanted to sing the blues.”

She wants this generation to understand the blues isn’t just for their grandparents. It’s relevant still and can cross-pollinate with other genres to bring a modern feel to it.

She invites people to come out on July 30 to enjoy three performers crooning the music, which has been inculcated into her soul.

“Everyone has their own style and their own voice and their own energy,” Threats said. “But when we come together, it’s this cohesiveness and it’s this different dynamic power for all the ladies to be on stage together. It’s going to be powerful and really fun not just for ourselves, but for those in the audience viewing, watching and experiencing it with us.”

‘Old Favorites’

Textile artist Cynthia Thiel showcases at SPARC Galley

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

In conjunction with the South Pasadena Summer Arts Crawl, SPARC Gallery has welcomed mixed media and textile artist Cynthia Thiel to its South Pasadena exhibition space to unveil her new show, “Old Favorites.” Thiel called it a clean sweep of her studio, showcasing at least 28 hung pieces and 23 ceramics.

“They’re really all new works,” she explained. “There is such a variety of work and styles that I hope people will get a kick out of it, because I feel like I really do. Sometimes when I make a work, I laugh. It really makes me chuckle, and I think that it’s playful. I hope people draw that from a lot of the work.”

vorites” was formed as a representation of Thiel’s identity as an artist. It’s a path she’s walked since childhood.

“I feel like I’ve been an artist starting at 6 years old,” Thiel said. “I’ve just always had the need to make art and had that emphasis through high school and then going to UCI (University of California, Irvine), I was an art studio major. It was a very exciting time with a lot of famous artists who were teaching there. Some of them were good teachers and some weren’t, but you were rubbing shoulders with renowned names (like Vija Celmins and Laddie John Dill).”

Thiel became teacher, educating students in the arts at the Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge, originally known as the La Cañada Youth House, The Gooden School, St. Mark’s School and the Anoakia School. She’s named her mother, Peggy Kelley, as one of her strongest role models as an artist, teacher and person.

“She passed away a couple years ago, and just getting older, I’m appreciating what an artistic presence she had in my life,” Thiel said. “We ran a vintage clothing store together where I made ruffled t-shirts and dresses out of ’50s tablecloths. That that was very ingenious of her. It was in the early ’80s when you really had to educate people on how beautiful vintage clothes were. It was called Palm Trees, and it was near PCC.”

For her show “Old Favorites,” Thiel wanted to pay tribute to a multitude of memories and artistic styles. One of her favorite works is a stitched piece of the late Virginia Holt. She was a 101-year-old artist and friend of Thiel, who made the stitching using fabrics passed on by Holt’s daughter. The piece is called “Virginia.”

“Her daughter gave me a lot of her just fabric that was hanging around and arches paper and different sewing things that her mom had,” Thiel said. “It’s hand stitched little pieces of silk and cotton, and it makes me think of her. … I did incorporate it with a sort of a steady painting that I was doing, and I thought they looked really good together.

Any Style, Any Fabric, Any Color!

“(Holt) was an artist, and she got some notoriety. I just admire her life, the way she was very artistic. She was bold, and she had such a long life. … I used to just sit in her lovely living room with her and have tea.”

Thiel said that she has enjoyed observing different types of people and animals and honoring their diversity and their spirits through her work. When thinking about the new exhibition being shown to the public, she said she feels a nervous excitement.

“I have butterflies,” Thiel described. “But when I left after we hung the show, I went, ‘This looks really good.’ So now I’m just focused on welcoming people.”

An Enduring Message

Read-along picture book “Dahlia Dusk and

By Leah Schwartz Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Identity, self-worth and insecurity are closely wrapped up in the human experience. Children’s book author and therapist Brianna Johnson is acutely aware of this. Her work as a counselor prompted her to write a read-along picture book, “Dahlia Dusk and the Land of Little Folk.”

Johnson and the book’s illustrator, Corrie Alvaro, will host a book reading and signing at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 29, at Octavia’s Bookshelf on Hill Avenue, taking readers into the magical world of Dahlia Dusk.

The story, published in 2022, follows a fairy named Dahlia Dusk, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery in a fantastical world, facing her insecurities along the way. She is challenged by situations and adults, arriving at the knowledge that “her worth and value have nothing to do with anything she’s doing; it’s inherent, regardless of what she does,” Johnson explained. “Everyone deserves to be loved and respected just because of who they are”

Johnson, who works as a therapist with children 4 to 19, noticed that many

the

of her clients were coming in with the same concerns, wrestling with selfworth and insecurity. That is what inspired her writing.

“This book was a manifestation of processing therapeutic work that I was doing with high schoolers, who were dealing with many of these questions and insecurities. … Seeing my clients’ challenges makes me think that many people must be dealing with this,” she said. “If (my clients) could have read (Dahlia Dusk) when they were young, maybe this work would be easier — maybe they wouldn’t have to be grappling with this.”

Johnson intentionally wrote the book with slightly elevated language to be read aloud and enjoyed by parents in addition to children. The book’s message is for kids “but also the parents,” Johnson explained.

Although Johnson works as a therapist, she has always been a writer, composing tales since girlhood. She began writing more seriously after taking a college creative writing class, where her classmates encouraged her to continue her craft.

Initially, Johnson wrote Dahlia Dusk as a “way to process.” She added, “I never intended to do anything with it.” As with many stories she has written, Johnson sent a draft to her aunt, who recognized the importance of Johnson’s message, urging her to publish it.

The world of Dahlia Dusk is populated by a diverse array of characters with different skin tones, hair colors, body types and gender expressions. Coming from a multiracial background, Johnson understood the importance of representation and its positive effects on audiences. Johnson and Alvaro dedicated hours of brainstorming to create a character list that felt inclusive and intentional, without any empty tokenism.

“I definitely have that struggle of opening books and not seeing myself represented,” she said. “I want to ensure that kids and parents — whoever — can open this

Land of Little Folk” is a story for everyone

book and see a little bit of themselves in it; they can see this beautiful little magical world filled with people that all look different.”

As a Pasadena native, Johnson wrote this book in part as a love letter to her community. “This book was created to share a message with parents, children and those we love,” she said. “There’s a line in the book that says ‘she was guided home by the light of her community,’ and for me, that’s Pasadena and Altadena.”

‘Infatuation Guaranteed’

Coffee and Plants improves the world one cup at a time

By Kristine Pascual Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

English singer-songwriter Leona Lewis, her husband, Dennis Jauch, and friend Achraf Sekhiri have witnessed an increase in plant-based food options.

Still, something was lacking.

“We’re all plant based,” Jauch said. “It’s pretty amazing to see how far we’ve come in this plant-based world, but coffee was still lacking.”

In 2019, the trio founded Coffee and Plants nestled among Old Pasadena’s brick walls, and, more recently, Studio City.

“We resonated with the charm and the architecture of Pasadena because it reminds us a little bit of Europe,” said Jauch, who hails from Germany.

“We think it’s such a beautiful city and it just has that kind of homey family vibe to it. We stumbled upon this beautiful location in the Old Town, One Colorado Square, and thought, ‘This is just perfect.’ We just love the atmosphere of Pasadena.”

Coffee and Plants features creative espresso-based specialty drinks, single-origin drip and pour-over coffees, cold brews, special teas and seasonal menu items.

The signature blend’s beans are sourced from Unity Coffee, which works with growers in Colombia and Guatemala to “provide fair-trade wages to the coffee farmers.”

In Pasadena, the menu includes the Rose Bowl, 24K Charcoal and the Blue Lavender lattes. The 24K blends activated charcoal, homemade vanilla syrup and gold leaf, while the Rose Bowl latte boasts a rich espresso flavor paired with homemade rose hibiscus syrup and a splash of fresh beet juice.

There’s no espresso in the Blue Lavender latte, but it does have homemade lavender syrup with blue butterfly pea powder, plant-based milk and lavender garnish.

With sweet and floral syrups and the coconut whipped cream, the Laurel Latte was created in honor of Studio City, where it is exclusively available.

“We don’t have the Rose Bowl latte,” he said about Studio City. “We have the Laurel latte. Every location is going to have its own signature drink.”

Most, if not all other cafes charge for substituting whole milk for a nondairy alternative. Coffee and Plants does not.

“We didn’t like that there’s always an up-charge for plant-based coffee wherever you go; that still exists in most places,” Jauch said.

The 100% plant-based food menu — which comes with the tagline “infatuation guaranteed” on the website — spotlights gluten-free items, savory and sweet pastries, freshly prepared avocado tartines and Just Egg croissants.

“We’re just a coffee shop with quality ingredients, homemade,” he said. “All the ingredients just happen to be plant based and I think that’s very important because most of our customers are not plant based. We opened it out of a necessity. We felt

like creating a more sustainable way to make quality coffee for the masses.”

For four-legged friends, Coffee and Plants sells “puppuccinos” — coconut whip cream topped with a peanut butter doggy biscuit. Proceeds of select items are donated to Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, an organization that rescues abused and neglected animals in need.

At the café, the owners and staff take sustainability to a new level. They reduce their carbon footprint by “eliminating the damaging environmental impacts of the dairy industry.”

For every 100 cups sold, it plants a tree in partnership with the National Forest Foundation.

Coffee and Plants further lives up to its name by selling plants that drape the bright space.

“We wanted the space itself to be a very welcoming, healthy and organic feeling place, which is why from the beginning we knew that we wanted to incorporate lots of plants in our store,” he said.

Soon, other locations will join Old Pasadena and Studio City.

“We want to disrupt the coffee industry as a whole,” Jauch said.

“We want to disrupt the Starbucks industry and we want to show people that there is a healthier option right at their fingertips.”

Continuing Growth

Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation adds board members

By Pasadena Weekly Staff

The Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation — nonprofit that supports the preservation, protection and enhancement of the future of the Rose Bowl Stadium as a National Historic Landmark — named new members to its board of directors and advisory board.

The new members — Christopher Beltran, Denise Melone, Jodi Shoemake and Jim Plutchak — add to the growing legacy family of volunteer leaders who steward the organization’s mission as the Rose Bowl begins its second century.

“We are fortunate that key members of our community, both locally and nationally, continue to trust and believe in legacy’s trajectory,” said Legacy Foundation President Dedan Brozino.

Celebrating Excellence

SPARC awards scholarships to area graduates

By South Pasadena Arts Council

South Pasadena High School seniors have been awarded the South Pasadena Arts Council’s 2023 SPARC Arts Scholarship in the amount of $1000, based on teacher recommendations and the SPARC Board’s review of students’ applications and portfolios. All five awardees are 2023 June graduates from South Pasadena High School.

“Our Scholarship Committee was impressed by the high caliber of work shown by this year’s students,” said SPARC President Sandy Kitto, “and we are delighted to recognize them for their outstanding achievements in the arts. Many thanks to our generous SPARC supporters who help make these annual scholarship awards possible.”

Stephanie Law is a graceful and expressive dancer/choreographer who incorporates emotions and societal controversies into her work.

During her years at SPHS, in addition to being captain of the dance program, she was Dance Club president, secretary and treasurer. Stephanie was involved in numerous clubs and organizations, including her role as president and founder of both the school’s Animal Care Club and Smiles for Change Club, which helps hospitalized children.

In college, while dance will remain her creative outlet, she plans to major in political science with the intention of becoming a lawyer.

Audrey Omidi, who has studied dance from the age of 3, fell in love with live theater during her years at SPHS, where she served as both treasurer and president of the Drama Club.

Involved in both the school’s drama and dance programs, Omidi said that her notable performances in the school’s staff-produced plays (Macbeth, Sense and Sensibility and Middletown) and musicals (Shrek and Freaky Friday) “are the reason I have found my passion for theater and plan to pursue it in college and beyond.”

Omidi received a talent scholarship from Muhlenberg College and is considering a double major in Theatre and Dance with a minor in music.

Basil How, an evocative graphic artist and photographer, draws inspiration from their Asian roots, transgender erasure and such artists as Aryaman Munish and Panos Tsironis.

“Mostly, I want my work to show fragments of feminine and masculine merging together into one body, to be authentic and shine,” How said.

Among many school and extracurricular pursuits, How served as vice president of the SPHS Photography Club, was a silver medalist with a partner in the SkillsUSA 3D Visualization & Animation regionals competition, a Silver Key winner in the 2023 Scholastic Art & Writing Design category, and a designer for the nonprofit, Compost Culture.

How plans to attend ArtCenter College of Design and hopes to make a mark through inspiring younger transgender people, “whether they are artists or otherwise.”

Laureen Wong is an impressive visual artist whose inspirations include Frank Gehry’s “application of conceptual art principles,” architecture’s relationship to nature, and the need for sustainable hous-

ing for the homeless.

“Artistic expression makes my life worth living,” Wong said. “The horrible can become beautiful. Black nights can become less frightening, and happy days bottled for pleasure when the weather becomes cold and sullen,”

Vice president of the SPHS Art Club, Wong attended the University of California Berkeley College of Environmental Design’s immersive summer design program. She is also the recipient of a Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc) Scholarship and Graduation Award, an ArtCenter College of Design Scholarship Award, and a Ryman Arts Scholarship and Graduation Award.

As a volunteer, Wong was part of the First Chinese Baptist Church LA’s High School Mission Team and a volunteer with Union Rescue Mission, Children’s Hunger Fund, the Chinese Christian Herald Crusades. She intends to enrich her goal for a career in fine art through the pursuit of architecture and environmental sustainability studies.

Juan Carlos Bravo (IAmCarlo) is a

guitarist, pianist and composer whose striking original work is inspired by experience, emotions or even a sound that he finds intriguing.

Carlos Bravo coled SPHS’ music production club as the social coordinator. He has performed at the Grammy Museum, among other venues, through the musical production program at Los Angeles-based nonprofit Get Lit — Words Ignite.

As a volunteer, Bravo has worked with Club Moai, “a social group for teens with special needs” and the nonprofit Ten Thousand Villages. He received a $27,000 scholarship from the Los Angeles College of Music and intends on pursuing a career in sound design, film scoring, and other forms of media that require audio engineering.

“It gives us great pleasure as an organization to be able to recognize the exceptional accomplishments of South Pasadena High School seniors in the arts,” said Lissa Reynolds, SPARC founder. “We wish all the best to each of this year’s SPARC Arts Scholarship recipients in their future academic and creative endeavors.”

History Lesson

Football hall, Rose Bowl partner for exhibits

By Pasadena Weekly Staff

The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, and the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena will highlight key moments, players and the impact of Hall of Famers during the 101-year history of America’s Stadium.

The Rose Bowl Stadium’s rich football history has included five Super Bowls, the annual Rose Bowl Game (since 1923), UCLA Football (since 1982) and numerous high-profile high school and exhibition games.

As part of the partnership, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will provide key artifacts on loan to the Rose Bowl Stadium for public display to educate fans and visitors to the storied venue.

Bowl Stadium and how tightly woven it is in the fabric of the game,” said Jim Porter, president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “The hall is honored to share artifacts from the players with that special connection to the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium.”

“The football history in Pasadena is undeniable with nationally known names and moments that have defined the sport,” added Dedan Brozino, president of the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation. “Whether it be in high school, collegiate or professional contests, so many iconic athletes have dug their cleats into our famous turf — highlighting their tie to the stadium and the growth of the game will be educational for all of us.”

The artifacts will be presented in historical spaces around the venue, such as the 1922 Locker Room Museum (opened in 2017 at Tunnel 15A) and the newly established California High School Football Hall of Fame (set to open this summer). The venue in Pasadena welcomes more than 1 million visitors each year for its events.

“The story not only of college football, but also of professional football, cannot be told fully without a deep appreciation of the rich history of the Rose

The exhibits are in design and are expected to be ready for public enjoyment by the time college football season kicks off at the Rose Bowl this season. They will include a collection of artifacts specific to players and coaches who set foot on the stadium turf for a game, plus photographic images of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Bronzed Busts for every player who also has been inducted into the California High School Football Hall of Fame.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Jon Freeman, Stonecrest Acquisition in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Lorenzo Stoller, Esq. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administra tion of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent

administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 1, 2023 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 29 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

POTENTIAL BIDDERS:

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale

may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponeme nts be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 4777869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 111365-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NO-
