“B

ack up,” I say. “I don’t want to burn you.” Crowded by an unwanted dinner guest who is now in my kitchen, I lean over to pull out a large roasting pan of six game hens from the super-hot oven in my 1920s-era cream and green gas stove. My huge kitchen is warm and inviting, and Mr. Groper had “tailed” me into the kitchen to stare at my tail. Mr. Groper: “I had forgotten how beautiful you are.” He literally tailgated me, almost snuggling my back. Crackling oil hit my lower arm; I jumped, avoiding hitting Groper with grease. Now I wish I’d thrown the game hens at him. Or stuffed those birds, one by one, down his pants. But wait, there’s more! After dinner, Groper asks me to show him where our bathroom is in our 5,000-square-foot restored Craftsman. As I reach for the light switch, he squeezes my breast. Stunned, I freeze. And then, he squashes the other one! I run from the bathroom and can’t look at him for the rest of the evening. Every time I hear about Cuomo-like behavior from a man, I think about what I would have done had I been in the pumps of the woman being accosted. Touching is an invitation-only event. How I wish more women were trained to be like a hot burner: They only get touched once without permission, and snap, sizzle, pop! Lesson learned. Most of us gal types have had run-ins with gropy, gross, handsy men who don’t give a crap about how they impact the gropees. We are confounded by behavior that is so contrary to gentility we’re stupefied in the moment. Borrowing from the work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, The “5 Stages of Sexual Misconduct” — aka “Good Grief! WTF?” — could be delineated as denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

saying anything until I was asked to contribute to an anthology about sexual harassment a few years later. The other contributors described different scenarios, yet we had all gone through the same stages of grief, almost always with someone we knew and expected better from. Ha! No one signs up for unwanted attention. A young woman in a gubernatorial campaign did not dream of having a position where she would have to fend off grabby hands. So many things burn me up about workplace incidents like these. My dining room was not a workplace, but everyone at dinner was in the entertainment industry. Mr. Groper was a producer who could have hired me. What really perplexes me is that paying out settlements and settling lawsuits with these jerks makes harassers cost-ineffective, yet it keeps happening. They impact the bottom line in corporations, institutions of higher learning, government and more. Of course, there is no logic here: These guys are not driven by reason but by entitlement. Hopefully, women loudly saying “back up, you will be burned!” will soon be more common. Ellen Snortland has written commentary for decades.

• Denial: These stages of good grief — more like “disgusted” grief — occur as an inner monologue for most of us. Me: “OMG, did he just honk my breast like I am a squeeze toy? It had to be a mistake. It had to be accidental. Who does something like that?” • Anger: WTF? When our dinner guests leave, I am furious. Mr. Groper’s wife had been in the other room when he groped me in my own home! What was I supposed to do? I couldn’t think straight. I couldn’t pinch or hit him, because I was paralyzed with disbelief. And I was livid that he’d now given me information about him I didn’t know what to do with. Do I tell his wife? They had two young sons. Did I really want to possibly precipitate a breakup? • Bargaining: My then-husband offers to call Mr. Groper and confront him. I plead with him not to. I appreciate the sentiment, but it was too chattel-style for me. I’m not a thing; I am an adult. This was before my training with IMPACT Personal Safety, and I was flummoxed as to what I could have done in the moment. I promise myself that I’ll never put myself in that kind of position again. I didn’t bargain with a higher power but with myself. What had I done to deserve his unwanted attention? Nothing. He planned and made moves he knew I wouldn’t be prepared for. In Cuomo’s case, who expects the governor of a major state to grope you? • Depression: At the dinner party, I’d been looking forward to a good home-cooked meal with two other couples I wanted to know better. The two men of the couples were three sheets to the wind; the two women were already my good friends. I had to mourn the loss of closeness with them, because I couldn’t decide whether to tell them or not. I went into a slump. I’m guessing the women around Cuomo also had to deal with depression. Damned if they tell, damned if they don’t.

Principal Maricela Brambila grew up in Altadena and is an alumna of John Muir High School.

Maricela Brambila named Willard’s new principal By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

or the new school year, Willard Elementary will start with a new principal, Maricela Brambila. She replaces Dr. Angela Elizondo Baxter, who helmed the school for six years. “I have always had a profound respect for the great work of Dr. Baxter and the staff at Willard,” Brambila said.

“I am honored to have an opportunity to continue and build on that work within the IB Primary Years Program. I look forward to meeting and learning from our students, families and staff, most importantly to an amazing school year.” Brambila, born in west Altadena and an alumna of John Muir High School, has worked in the Pasadena Unified School District for nearly 30 years. She began as a bilingual instructional aide in 1994 before teaching English at Blair High School and later at the Language Assessment and Development Department until 2011. Recently, she worked as the assistant principal at Pasadena High and Blair Middle and High schools. “I feel grateful to this community, because I feel in some ways that it’s just given me a lot,” Brambila said. “I feel like this is a way that I can help. … There were things that I know could have done more back then and things that I see putting in place now. It’s really exciting.” In 2005, Willard Elementary became an International Baccalaureate school, offering students a more rigorous program focusing on critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Founded in Geneva in 1968, the IB program was established to provide a stable curriculum for families, such as diplomats, who traveled the world. The program has since become world renowned and present in over 5,500 schools across 159 countries. “The idea behind (IB program) is for students to become very self-directed learners,” Brambila said. The IB program, among other aspects, has helped Willard become a renowned school recognized as a Title I Academic Achievement school by the California Department of Education. The IB program and Willard’s reputation as a great school are what convinced Brambila to enroll her kids there. “I’ve done my homework. Willard is the school for me,” Brambila recalled about when she enrolled her children at Willard. “We never looked back. Never for a second. It was an excellent choice for our kids.” With her experience as a Willard parent, Brambila said it was nostalgic to see her children’s former teachers and tour the campus. “It’s like being the kid that left for a little while,” she said. “I was having nostalgic moments. I remember when I dropped my son off here for kindergarten and peeking in the window and essentially being told, ‘It’s time to go.’” Brambila said she hopes to continue Willard’s tradition of excellent education, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. “When we come back, we’re going to give some of the teachers a little bit of time to start looking at their current units and see if there’s some tweaking that they can do to strengthen that portion,” Brambila said. Brambila also plans to reestablish the IB program and address the learning gaps developed during COVID-19 through accelerated learning. “This is something that started as far back as Hurricane Katrina,” PUSD spokesperson Hilda Ramirez Horvath said. “Instead of having students sit for a month and review material that they have missed, it’s learning that grade-level material and then doing those just-in-time interventions.” Just-in-time learning is a teaching approach that addresses the gaps of study exactly when it is needed. For example, if a student missed California history the year before, it will be addressed when they are learning about California during colonial history the next year. As she returns to the school after sending her kids there years before, Brambila said she is excited to continue to provide the renowned education to others. “Obviously going into it, you’re always a little nervous at first,” Brambila said. “But they’ve been wonderful. I’m excited. As the more time wears on the more excited I get.”

Newsom requiring vaccine for state school employees By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

alifornia recently became the first state to mandate all school employees — public and private — to get fully vaccinated or get weekly COVID-19 tests. “We think this is the right thing to do, and we think this is a sustainable way to keeping our schools open and to address the No. 1 anxiety that parents like myself have for young children,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “And that is knowing that the schools are doing everything in their power to keep our children safe.” The new policy took effect on Aug. 12 — schools must fully comply by Oct. 15 — and affects all staff members working with K-12 students. Pasadena Unified School District applied the order immediately. The announcement comes as COVID-19 cases continue to rise as the Delta variant coupled with the unvaccinated population prolongs the pandemic. “We’re excited to welcome students back to school tomorrow,” Superintendent Dr. Brian McDonald wrote recently as students went back to school on Aug. 12. “Since the beginning of the pandemic, our highest priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff.” At deadline, California recorded a 57.7% increase in the past 14 days and in the past week has average 11,814 cases throughout the state. Los Angeles County has averaged over 2,000 cases last week. Pasadena recorded a seven-day average of 27.4. Earlier this month, the United States reached President Joe Biden’s goal of 70% of the population. California still stands a bit short of that goal, with 63% of the state at

least partially vaccinated and 54.6% fully vaccinated. Similarly, 63.4% of LA County is partially vaccinated and 55.2% fully vaccinated. Pasadena outpaces the rest of the county, with 91.5% of residents vaccinated and 82.7% fully vaccinated. PUSD boasts an even better vaccination rate, with an estimated 96% of employees vaccinated. PUSD employees were among the first education employees to be vaccinated. “An estimated 96% of PUSD employees are already vaccinated for COVID-19,” PUSD board President Scott Phelps said. “The education workforce of PUSD should be commended for stepping up early and fearlessly to get the vaccine when people were still hesitating. PUSD teachers led the way during the pandemic.” However, other members have voiced their concerns with the unvaccinated employees. “While it has been reported that PUSD has a 96% vaccination rate of employees, that still means 89 employees are unvaccinated,” PUSD board member Tina Fredericks said. “A 96% vaccination rate is irrelevant to the 2,225 elementary students or more who will be assigned to schools or classrooms with unvaccinated personnel.” The district will ramp up testing to accommodate the employees who decide to not get vaccinated. Starting on Aug. 16, students and staff can test at campuses at the district’s primary clinic by appointment. “Per this new public health order, effective immediately all unvaccinated employees must take a weekly COVID-19 test,” McDonald said. “Tests will be available at school sites and at the PUSD Primary Health Clinic.” While the vaccine is not required for students to attend school, PUSD also encourages all students who are eligible, those 12 and older, to get the vaccine as soon as possible. “I strongly encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated to help schools safely return to in-person learning by reducing transmission risk,” McDonald said.

Changing the conversation about health in the Black community By Allison Brown Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

“Mental and Physical Health, Wellness and Stigma in the Black Community” WHEN: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21 WHERE: Location will be disclosed after registration, livestream available on Facebook @therapeuticplayfoundation COST: Free INFO/RSVP: www.bit.ly/conversation_series

Sycamores President and Chief Executive Officer Debra Manners and board Chair Michael Galper celebrate the name change.

Hathaway-Sycamores changes its name By Pasadena Weekly Staff

athaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services changed its name to Sycamores. With 10 locations throughout Southern California, Sycamores had been operating as Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services since the merger of Hathaway Children & Family Services and the Sycamores in 2005. President and Chief Executive Officer Debra Manners said the rebranding strategy simplifies and strengthens the agency name, while retaining a strong legacy element that is recognized in the community. Along with this change, a newly designed company logo and tagline have been revealed. “Our logo is represented by the sycamore tree and our new tagline is ‘a better life,’” Manners said. “These changes reflect Sycamores’ steadfast commitment to the provision of innovative and effective mental health programs and services to help the children, young adults, adults and families we serve develop the tools and determination to create a better life. “In this transition, we also remain closely tied to the Hathaway heritage and have named our esteemed research and training program the Hathaway Center for Excellence. It is through our training of our staff and other professionals on a local and national level, as well as our research initiatives, that we help to move this important work forward.” According to board Chair Michael Galper, the rebranding was done with input from consumers, supporters, staff and board members and was scheduled to happen in 2020. “We chose to pause on its launch because of the pandemic and our need to focus on the health and safety of the children, young adults, adults and families we serve, as well as the agency’s staff,” he said. “As we come through the pandemic though, and with the resilience and care provided in the midst of adversity, it is more appropriate than ever to share more about who we are, what we accomplish, and our dedication to helping individuals create a better life through all of the programs and services provided by Sycamores.” State Sen. Antony Portantino, a longtime supporter of Sycamores, is excited about the agency’s new chapter. “Sycamores has always been a trailblazer,” Portantino said. “They are known for seeking innovative solutions to make a difference in the lives of children and families. Their updated brand reflects that innovative spirit and the organization’s historical roots.” A new website will be launched later this year.

he Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, the Black Mental Health Task Force and Therapeutic Play Foundation are partnering to host a free wellness event Saturday, Aug. 21, dubbed “Mental and Physical Health, Wellness and Stigma in the Black Community.” Nakeya Fields, founder of the nonprofit Therapeutic Play Foundation, pitched and organized the event out of a desire to give back to the community while her organization was shut down during COVID-19. As a licensed clinical social worker for over 10 years, she said she saw a need for care that was dedicated specifically to Black people and their specific struggles. “We have mental health professionals who are leading the conversation,” Fields said. “It’s not like a therapist talking at people or doing a presentation. It’s more so talking with the community and letting them share how they’ve had struggles and just having a safe space for that as opposed to making it punitive. Instead of it being like going to an appointment because you’re sick, it’s more like going to a party with your people to feel safe and be able to express if you do feel sick.” This event is the first of six in the Wellness Conversation Series since its launch on Juneteenth. It will have a panel discussion about mental and physical health in the Black community; healing stations including tribal face painters, massage, African dancing, yoga and therapeutic art; resources for mental health treatment; representatives from the Gabriel Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Black Chamber of Commerce; substance abuse treatment centers; balloons; food and drinks. With the goal of increasing awareness and reducing disparities regarding mental health, the Black and African Heritage Underserved Cultural Communities Subcommittee gives $200,000 every year toward capacity building projects in the community. This year, it chose to sponsor the Black Mental Health Task Force and Therapeutic Play Foundation’s joint effort to create the Wellness Conversation Series. It hopes to start conversations that will initiate relationship building, trust and change. There is a negative stigma around mental health for everyone, but Fields said it is worse in the Black community, where people don’t want to seem weak or have anything else going against them. She also said they experience a different type of anxiety that comes just from being Black in a system that threatens them daily. “We call it complex trauma,” Fields said. “When people are continuously exposed to things that they feel are threatening to themselves and their well-being, then that’s trauma, and complex trauma is continuing exposure and multiple incidents of that trauma. “How do our bodies handle this huge responsibility of managing an inflamed response? That’s what anxiety is, a nervous system inflammation response. How do you manage that when it happens to you every single day since you were a kid? So, this is our effort to say, ‘Hey, we get you. We understand that this is difficult. We understand that you may be feeling anger and fear and frustration.’” Many things need to change before the system changes, but Fields said creating conversations and empowering the Black community is the first step. The family-friendly event will be held 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 21. Registration is required to attend in person and the location will be disclosed once registration is confirmed. For those unable to attend, it will also be livestreamed on Facebook.

new guide to everything South Pasadena is available online just in time for the next Alfresco Day of shopping and dining on Saturday, Aug. 21. According to South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce CEO Laurie Wheeler, the new “Guide to South Pasadena” is a user-friendly resource to chamber businesses. The guide can be found online at southpasadena.net. “The new online guide will help you find the best places to eat and shop, as well as the best places to enjoy arts, culture and leisure activities,” Wheeler explained. “In addition, South Pasadena offers personal care services, fitness establishments, health care professionals, various consultants and more. It’s all available online as an easy resource for the community.” The guide debuts as the chamber counts down to another of its Alfresco Days held on the third Saturday of each month to welcome patrons into the city’s small businesses. Some stores will have goods and services on the sidewalk; others will have their doors open to welcome customers. Many restaurants will be serving food alfresco, in addition to indoor dining and takeout orders. Hours may vary, so customers are encouraged to check in advance with the stores and eateries they may visit. Masks are required indoors, in compliance with health mandates; other protocols may be in place at individual businesses. Among the attractions and festivities Aug. 21, “Watercolors,” a solo exhibition of evocative works by artist Jimmy Lee, opens at the South Pasadena Arts Council’s SPARC Gallery with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. The public also is invited to attend the official unveiling and dedication of an original mural of Lakers legend and icon Kobe Bryant at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, at the 1020 Mission Street complex in South Pasadena. An after party will follow live music through 8 p.m. (See accompanying story.)

South Pasadena nonprofit unveils Kobe Bryant mural

By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

he South Pasadena Arts Council will host a public unveiling of an original mural of Laker legend Kobe Bryant. “This was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the local artists,” SPARC President Sandy Kitto said. “It feels rewarding to bring a project of this stature to completion here in our community.” Located at the 1020 Mission Street complex in South Pasadena, the 14-by-14foot mural was painted by renowned artist Jonas Never. It is based on a photo from sports photographer and SPARC board member Andrew Bernstein. Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020. “The mural is another way tangible way to remember him,” Bernstein said. “It’s an incredible honor.” Never finished the mural in April. On the fifth anniversary of Bryant’s final game, SPARC held a small, private gathering because of COVID-19 restrictions. SPARC will hold the public unveiling at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, two days before what CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

would have been his 43rd birthday. Throughout the event, music will be performed by the Jaz Sawyer Trio. Beverages and food may be purchased from the Wings N’ Waffles Food Truck. A limited number of posters of the mural signed by the artist and photographer Bernstein will be offered to those who donate to SPARC during the event. This is an open-air event. However, due to the growing increase in COVID-19 infections, organizers say masks are strongly suggested, regardless of vaccination status. “The public has never had the opportunity to celebrate the unveiling of this mural,” Bernstein said. “It’ll be a wonderful event for the community to really share this mural, because the mural is for the community.” Bernstein began his career as a sports photographer in the early 1980s and has worked as the team photographer for all of the Los Angeles sports teams: Clippers, Sparks, Kings, Dodgers and, for the majority of his career, the Lakers. He is the longest-tenured photographer for the National Basketball Association. He has been at every major moment of Bryant’s career — who played for one team — capturing his achievements and failures. “My relationship with Kobe goes back to the first day that he became a Laker,” Bernstein said. “I documented all of that journey with him very closely. We collaborated on a book together called the ‘Mamba Mentality: How I Play.’” Bryant, whose nickname is the Black Mamba, was known for his legendary work ethic called the Mamba Mentality. “I think so many people identify with Kobe’s work ethic,” Bernstein said. “I’ve been around many, many athletes, and I’ve never witnessed an athlete who had a stronger drive and more committed work ethic than Kobe Bryant.” Bernstein, who started the project, chose the photograph of Bryant surrounded by fans, walking off the court after his final NBA game. Bryant scored 60 points in this historic game, capping off his 20-year career. “This photo was the end of the journey,” Bernstein said. “It’s not just a photo from some random game at some point in his career. This was the end of the journey. … It has to be the period at the end of this gigantic sentence, which was his career.” The mural is meant for the public to remember their favorite memories of Bryant. But as the mural is located next to Bernstein’s office, it provides him a special place where he can feel connected to his late friend. “I get to see my friend Kobe Bryant every day when I drive into my driveway at work,” Bernstein said. “I don’t get to see him, talk to him, text him, run into him, but I get to see him larger than life depicted in this mural from my photo. Every day I get chills when I drive by it.” “SPARC is pleased to host the public unveiling of this moving tribute to Kobe Bryant,” said Lissa Reynolds, the organization’s founder. “My husband James and I have always been huge fans of Kobe, and I watched almost daily as Jonas Never painted the mural, and I was so touched. Jonas has brought Kobe’s presence so vividly to life.”

asadena residents are blessed to have access to a variety of excellent farmers markets. Throughout the week, there are good local options for fresh, farm-grown produce and prepared foods from artisanal vendors. That said, each of the weekly local markets has its own distinctive characteristics, traits and atmosphere. The sprawling Saturday morning market, staged at Victory Park, next to Pasadena High School, is a buzzing village commons. The South Pasadena Thursday evening market reliably conjures a unique twilit, small-town charm. The Tuesday afternoon Highland Park market, in a lot along the Metro tracks just east of Figueroa, adds a dash of urban grit and bustles with young hipsters and their families. June 20 marked the return of the Altadena Farmers Market. As always, it’s staged from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays in the Alta Loma Park parking lot, next to the long-thriving community garden. The market in Altadena maintained itself throughout the pandemic with a preorder and pickup system, in lieu of on-site vendors and visitors. Unlike the other markets, which fell under municipal jurisdictions with more flexible pandemic guidelines, this part of unincorporated Altadena falls under the stricter purview of Los Angeles County. Local gourmands, chefs and neighbors are attracted to the Altadena Farmers Market. Perhaps because the market was closed to on-site stalls, vendors and guests for so long, the atmosphere in Altadena now brims with a sense of relieved good cheer and the elation of a family reunion. It also prides itself in being as economically accessible as possible to its surrounding neighborhoods. Stacey Whitney has been the market’s director since January 2019. She was a vendor at the market before that, selling a line of baked goods, particularly her popular cinnamon rolls. A trained chef and culinary educator, Whitney quietly presides over the Wednesday activity in Altadena with uncommon grace and good humor. Whitney works with her two market partner associates, Loren Phaen and Leigh McGilvray, at the information tent. The team recalled the first weeks of the pandemic lockdown, when the market reverted to online ordering and pickup exclusively. Whitney initiated online ordering and pickup in October 2019, which helped the pivot. But the community response in the lockdown’s first weeks was dramatic. “That first month was chaos,” Phaen confirmed. “It was pandemonium,” Whitney added. The market averaged 400 to 500 online orders weekly, and Whitney and her small team managed a cadre of 15 to 20 weekly local volunteers to deal with the demand. On a recent summer Wednesday, the market now — with the parking lot full of stalls and food trucks — seems quite placid by comparison. The Altadena Farmers Market routinely hosts a rotating group of more than 30 vendors, which includes farms, food trucks and craft makers. One of those farmers, Nick Long of MetroGreens, operates a hydroponic vertical microfarm in Monrovia. He sells custom microgreen mixes as well as lettuce varieties. He’s a well-traveled veteran of the local farmers market circuit and easily articulates his sense of the Altadena atmosphere. “Out of all the markets, this is the closest to a real community market. Stacey (Whitney) is one of the best managers I’ve ever worked with,” Long said. “I’ve become really good friends with all the vendors here. It’s like family. Every single vendor is so nice here.” As if on cue, Guillermo Lima from Big Grandma’s Kitchen food truck arrives to hand Long a fresh pupusa. “That’s what makes the difference. We’re a little family,” Whitney said. “It’s just an extension of the community. Whatever we can do to make it more of that is my goal.” Whitney grew up in Altadena, near the Zorthian Ranch. “When I was growing up in Altadena, there was no farmer’s market or anything remotely like that.” After graduating from John Muir High School, Whitney initially pursued a career in fashion, graduating with a degree in marketing from FIDM in Downtown Los Angeles. After nearly a decade working in retail fashion management, she decided to leave

Keara McVicker works at Murray Family Farms.

Southern California to follow a burgeoning interest in food and education. She moved to Chicago to attend the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago and then also went to the Chicago branch of Le Cordon Bleu culinary academy. “I have an associate degree in pastry and baking and a bachelor’s degree in culinary management,” Whitney explained. “I went to culinary school so that I could teach other people to cook.” Before leaving Chicago for Atlanta, she worked with Careers thru Culinary Arts Program, which trains and sponsors disadvantaged high school seniors to attend post-secondary culinary school. After moving to Atlanta, Whitney became involved with local farmers markets and community gardens. “I moved to Atlanta and was really part of the farmers market community there, as a vendor and as a healthy eating instructor,” Whitney said. She founded a small nonprofit, The Spoonful of Honey Food and Job Security Initiative. “We were teaching women from southwest Atlanta how to grow their own food and prepare it (and) offered food safety certification,” she said. “We also started a community garden in my neighborhood.” Upon returning to her hometown of Altadena, Whitney actively maintained the interests she cultivated in Atlanta. “When I moved back to California, I really wanted to keep my connection with the local food producers and did some volunteer work with local community gardens and Muir ranch and other garden organizations,” Whitney said. “And I really intentionally worked with incorporating my food knowledge with that gardening knowledge.” Whitney also began vending her baked goods at the farmers market and befriended Elizabeth Bowman, the market’s original director. “(With Bowman) I shared my vision of what the market should be and what the market could be. This could really be a community hub for a lot of resources,” Whitney recalled. “Also, importantly, when I was a vendor at the market, knowing the demographics of Altadena and specifically west Altadena, it was disappointing that the market did not look like the community. Demographically it was not representative of what its immediate surroundings were. I had conversations with Elizabeth on how we could make the market more inclusive.” By the end of 2018, Bowman was in the midst of a career transition and, after several months of discussion, Whitney agreed to take over the market in January 2019. She hit the ground running. “One of my primary goals is to make the market more inclusive of everyone in the community,” Whitney said. “At least more representative of the Black and Latino people in the immediate area around the market.” Whitney actively encourages EBT recipients, including use of the Market Match voucher program, with Los Angeles Hunger Action that matches EBT produce purchases up to an additional $10 value. Also, up to 10 free produce boxes are distributed every week on a first-come, first-served basis. Vendor curation is also part of the plan. “We are recruiting more vendors that would be appealing locally and more affordable produce,” Whitney said. “I was fortunate to convince Underwood Family Farms to come. Underwood provides this broad assortment of produce at very reasonable prices. We do all these things that let people know the market is for everyone, not just for people who want $10 bread.” The market also offers free yoga classes most weeks, and Whitney hopes to resume the popular pre-pandemic cooking demonstrations, many of which she conducted herself. “I am a chef also, and I used those skills to teach people how to eat well,” she said. “I’d like to get back to that also. That’s on my radar for the fall.” Since opening in 2012, the market’s nonprofit fiscal receiver and sponsor has been the Altadena Community Garden, just next door. As of Aug. 6, Whitney now has a formal 501(c)(3) certification from the IRS for the market. It marks a new phase of growth and, inevitably, fundraising. “We’ve asked for donations to the market in the past,” Whitney said. “It’s very expensive to run a farmers market. We still definitely need that support financially. Keeping that community support going is very helpful.” Whitney hopes to engage local business sponsorships as well. “There is a lot more we want to do for the community, but all these things take resources,” she said. “We are keeping the dream alive, but it would be better if the community can help keep the dream alive.”

CA residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls CALIFORNIA - Once California residents got wind that California State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 California State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of California residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped

minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these California State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and California residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across California who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to California residents California residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per CA resident has been imposed

CALIFORNIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of California Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to California residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “I recently spoke with a numismatic expert in United States of America coins and currency who said ‘In all my years as a numismatist I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands

of California residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what California residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of California you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing California residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of California residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of California and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS FACTS:

If you are a California State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB1789

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only California State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many California residents claiming them:

Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all California residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

California residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB1789 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each California State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

• ARTS & CULTURE • San Marino Motor Classic gives back to nonprofits By Laura Latzko Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Th San Marino Motor Classic will take place 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 22. “We know that our programs are improving the quality of life for people facing cancer and, most importantly, improving patient outcomes,” Ostiller said.“We have members who have told us during the pandemic that we are their lifeline. They rely on us for support, education and hope.” Money raised from the gala will help with program costs and computer upgrades. In 2019, the gala raised $60,000 for the nonprofit, which also hosts its own events, like Ladies’ Night Out fundraiser. “(Aaron) has taken his love of cars and done something really valuable with it for the community,” Ostiller says. “Everybody knows someone who is impacted by cancer, and everybody wants to take care of those people in our shared community. That’s what Aaron’s generosity allows us to do.”

he San Marino Motor Classic is known as one of Southern California’s premier Concours d’Elegance events, but the weekend of festivities drives funds to nonprofits. Planned and run by 200 volunteers, the festivities at Lacy Park include an art show and gala, as well as an event focused on auto-themed watches. The San Marino Motor Classic was founded in 2011 by Aaron Weiss, Ben Reiling and Paul Colony as a successor for a previous event held in the area, the Los Angeles Concours d’Elegance. The classic has grown from 125 cars the first year to around 480 this year. “The whole thing is about charity,” Weiss said. Weiss works to keep the admission price affordable so it’s accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. “We really wanted to have a car show that was of the people,” he said. “We want somebody to be able to come with their significant other and their kids. “We can share the hobby with them. That’s really what it is all about. If you don’t show these old cars, they are going to become irrelevant, and then when you sell them, nobody is going to want them. I also tell people that the hobby is not about the cars but the people that you meet. It’s a social thing as well.” The show highlights vehicles from the brass, depression and post-war eras in more than 30 classes, including the Rolls-Royce, Corvette, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Woodie, BMW, Ford Thunderbird, Jaguar, Japanese and Italian sports cars, Chevrolet Tri-Five, European Sedans, McLarens, Firebird Trans Am, Mustang, Camaro, Austin-Healey and Aston Martin. The top three in each class will receive trophies in categories like Most Elegant Open PreWar Car, Best Paint and Finish, Sports Car Market Pursuit of Passion, People’s Choice, Most Elegant Post-War, Most Exotic Sports Car, HVA Preservation, and Best in Show Pre-War and Post-War awards. The 2019 Best in Show winners were a 1910 Model M 6-40 Touring and a 1954 300SL Gullwing car. Judges look at different components when they score. The points are added and divided by three for the score. “Each car starts out with 100 points,” Weiss said. “There are 30 different categories of things they are looking at — the quality of the paint, the fit and finish, the authenticity, the quality of the interior, the quality of the chrome and trim, the engine compartment, the undercarriage, the top if it’s a convertible.” This year, the show will have a 1909 De Dion Type de Course, a 1948 Tucker Model 48, a 1910 Pope-Hartford Touring car, a 1914 Packard 138, a 1914 Moline Knight SD Opera Sedan, a 1931 Duesenberg Derham Tourster, a 1936 Lincoln Model K Convertible Roadster by LeBaron, a 1934 Auburn 1250 V12 Phaeton Salon and a 1937 Delahaye 135 Torpedo Cabriolet. During the show, select clubs hold their own events, including the Ferrari Club of America’s Concorso Ferrari, the Classic Car Club of America’s Grand Classic and Packard International’s Grand Salon. New to the weekend is the August 21 art show presented by the Automotive Fine Arts Society, an international art organization founded in 1983. Many of the professional artists within the organization have worked as designers for major car companies. The exhibit will showcase 10 artists working in mediums such as sculpture, oil or watercolor paint, or pencil and ink. Wine, cheese and snacks will be served. Music plays an important role in the San Marino Motor Classic. During the Symphony of Cars Gala, 16 vehicles will be presented to orchestra music from the era in which the car was made. The gala will feature a dinner, music, valet parking and a hosted bar. A very different type of event inspired the idea for the gala, which benefits Cancer Support Community Pasadena, Pasadena Humane and the Rotary Club of San Marino. “I came up with this idea for the Symphony of Cars after going to a debutante ball,” Weiss said.“I said let’s not present girls, let’s present cars, and we will play a piece of music paired with the year the car was made.” The organization has raised $2.2 million for local charities. Patricia Ostiller, executive director for Cancer Support Community Pasadena, said being able to connect with others, especially through support groups, is important to patients’ overall well-being.

Tom Nichols will livestream a discussion of his book through Vroman’s Live at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 24.

Tom Nichols discusses civic responsibility, Jan. 6, democracy By Bliss Bowen Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

olitical scientist Tom Nichols elaborates on themes in his book “Our Own Worst Enemy: The Assault from Within on Modern Democracy.” “People are no longer just expressing their political views. They’re intentionally trying to draw the foul from their political opponents. You can’t function or sustain a democracy on everyone trying to (tick) everybody off all day. It comes from people being so narcissistic that the only validation they get from politics is this draining kind of emotional vampirism that says, ‘The only way I know I exist and I matter is if other people are pissed off enough to notice me.’”

The book by Nichols, author of 2017’s widely acclaimed “The Death of Expertise” and a frequent contributor to The Atlantic, USA Today and MSNBC, is out from Oxford University Press. Throughout a spirited, 90-minute conversation, the lifelong conservative addresses voter turnout, the Constitution, the political stability of the U.S. military, the Jan. 6 insurrection and civic responsibility. The cause of our poisoned politics, he says, is not globalization, “elites” or maligned others. It is us. “This is a fundamentally unserious political culture,” he observed while driving through his home state of Rhode Island. “We used to be very serious. Hannah Arendt said, with the exception of Scandinavia, very few people have the political seriousness of the Americans. Today, it’s completely laughable to say that.” Arendt is one of numerous political figures, philosophers and writers cited in “Our Own Worst Enemy,” a civic tough-love mandate Nichols calls “the hardest book I ever wrote.” He’s discussing it at a Vroman’s Live Crowdcast event Tuesday, Aug. 24. Wisecracking about his “moral scolding,” Nichols nonetheless asserts a need for public morality. Not the kind fixated on, say, abortion or sexuality, but morality that honors tolerance, respect and compromise as virtues exemplifying good citizenship and upholding what’s left of the small-“d” democratic public commons. “It’s not so much that the public commons has been trashed — it has — but there aren’t any people in it. The public commons is like a really nice park where we all used to walk that now just has vandals and criminals in it. I know that’s depressing,” he acknowledged. “But the way that is going to come back is for people to make very small decisions, person to person, at the level of community involvement. The great enemy of that is the virtualization of everything we do.” Constant connectivity via electronic devices and the internet is lambasted in “Our Own Worst Enemy,” though Nichols named the internet as the most effective weapon against authoritarianism and notes his regular use of Twitter, where he’s staked out a curmudgeon corner as an equal-opportunity critic. Left-leaning voters wearing “Defund the Police” sweatshirts draw his ire as much as Trump supporters refusing COVID-19 vaccines. Likewise, he champions California’s Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter (“She’s very good at detail and cares about actually legislating”) as well as Republican operatives who “fund, feed and water” local- and state-level “farm teams.” Agree or disagree with his scathing political critiques, but his common sense and factual analyses are refreshing. Democracy, he wrote, “relies as much on reflection as it does on civic interaction,” and while the republic’s founders could not foresee an America whose citizens continually compare themselves to each other in a virtual world and “performative culture” that eats up time for reflection, they did understand “the existential link between virtue and democracy.” He assails escalating resentments expressed by mostly white Americans and skewers their argument that screwups by “elites” prove democracy’s failure by demonstrating how they are bad policy — and policy, like citizenship, is something many Americans don’t address seriously unless it hurts people they want to see hurt. This willfully uninformed civic narcissism, he writes, constitutes an existential threat “deadly to the social trust that allows democracy to endure in hard times. By definition, a democracy is a community. By definition, a narcissist is incapable of holding or granting membership in a community. … No society can maintain a good democracy — one that respects human rights and puts the needs of the individual over the interests of the state — if it must rely on a population of bad citizens.” In conversation, he shoots down the suggestion that more stringent education in history, civics and media consumption could produce more discerning citizens. The problem of people insisting on their own facts and digging into isolated, ideological foxholes will only be fixed, he says, by demographic change: “America’s going to get younger, browner, more diverse. … I’m never going to say less education. I’m never going to say less civic virtue. But some of the least civic people in this movement of seditionists and insurrectionists are middle-aged, well-off, perfectly well-educated white guys.” Self-identified as “an old-school, conservative federalist,” Nichols is known for upbraiding millennials and Gen Z followers on Twitter but believes “the kids are alright. I think they have good hearts.” But he worries about their lack of resilience: “When people think that life is constantly letting them down, that’s when they develop resentments that tell them, ‘It’s not just life letting me down, it’s democracy, and somewhere there’s a big daddy who’s going to solve all my problems

and punish the people who hurt me.’ Everyone is vulnerable to that if they don’t have a certain amount of stoicism and maturity.” That maturity entails understanding that citizens have not just a role but a responsibility. From Nichols’ tough-love perspective, that means shaming friends who don’t vote. It means speaking frankly with loved ones with opposite politics to identify common ground. “One of my friends on Twitter said, ‘I can have a conversation with you if we start from Joseph R. Biden won the presidential election fair and square and the Constitution is more important than any single policy,’” Nichols recalled. “I said, ‘That’s pretty much where I am.’” A longtime professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, Nichols said his work supplies “comparative context.” “Years of studying the Soviet Union, I’m sorry to say, helped me with this. When I taught comparative authoritarian systems at Dartmouth, I would give very confident lectures and say, ‘This is why they don’t exist in Britain and the United States,’ or why France came out of it, or Greece, etc. Now I feel like an oncologist who is recognizing something uncomfortable in my own blood tests.” In his closing chapter he writes, “Democracy, in the end, is an act of will, a continual reaffirmation of faith in a system of government that enshrines and protects our rights and the rights of our fellow citizens.” That faith has been profoundly tested by the Jan. 6 attack on America’s constitutional system, and “detailed fixes” he intended to include in the book won’t work without a civil society. “I hope people understand that I wrote this because I think we’re getting near the point where we’re going to be out of time,” Nichols said. “I felt a sense of urgency when I wrote it.”

Marco Neves, creative director, and Jessica Hardin, festival director, attend a previous year’s Pasadena International Film Festival. This September will mark the in-person return of the event, which was canceled and forced to move online during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Pasadena film festival looking to make September return By Connor Dziawura Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

fter a “nightmare” 2020, the Pasadena International Film Festival is looking to get back into the swing of things as the summer winds down. Jessica Hardin, festival director, describes the COVID-19 pandemic as creating a snowball effect of closures and cancellations in March 2020, leading up to the Pasadena festival becoming yet another casualty. “We had our festival in March, and the pandemic shut it down, so it was just a nightmare,” Hardin recalled. “We lost so much money.” From that point on, the past year and a half turned into a waiting game — first waiting for it to be safe to reschedule and finish the 2020 event in person, something that never came, then waiting for the right time to set up this year’s festival. Normally a springtime event, the annual Pasadena International Film Festival has found the time from Sept. 9 to Sept. 16. Once again slated for the Playhouse Village, the festival is expected to show more than 130 films from 15 countries. Submissions

were accepted through Aug. 13. “We cut it down to the wire because the longer we have submissions, the more films we’re able to choose from. So, it’s really stressful — like, scary,” Hardin admits with a laugh. “But we find that so far it’s worked out for us.” Films will vary between feature and short lengths, live action and animated, whether fiction or documentary. Music videos and web series are even anticipated. There will also be moderated Q&As and free panels. “We do not discriminate,” Hardin said. “We want everything, because we figured — I don’t know how niche festivals do it — the more open our selection, the better quality that we’ll get. And it’s also we get really unique things, too, and that’s just my own personal taste. … We had a silent film that was really cool. People get really creative and inventive. “We try to create a diverse panoply of product. So, if we get 100 vampire movies and they’re all fantastic, then that’s tough because you’re all vampire movies. We want to celebrate diversity, and not necessarily in a racial way, but literally the meaning of ‘diverse’ where we have a wide variety of all different sorts of films. We have shorts, features, documentaries, music videos, webisodes. So, I mean, the only thing we’re really looking for is quality.” As to much of the specifics on this year’s festival, however, the details are still being worked out. “I really don’t think I’ll know until it actually happens. I mean, we sort of just have to go by a leap of faith,” Hardin admitted. “I thought June 15, when everything opened up, ‘everything’ would open up. But people are still leery. Places don’t want to host events.” What has been confirmed, however, is that screenings will once again take place at the Laemmle Playhouse 7, while the Lyd & Mo Photography Studio down the road will transform into the Passholders Lounge with an open bar. And at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, nearby cocktail lounge The Speakeasy will host the Great Gatsby Gala and Award Ceremony, a 1920s-themed, black-tie-optional closing celebration for guests ages 21 and older. “We try to utilize as many businesses as possible in the city to bring a lot of tourism and revenue to the city,” Hardin said. As it stands, Hardin said an online component isn’t planned for this September. When organizers were unable to reschedule the canceled festival in person some other time last year, they turned to hosting screenings and other events online in the fall. But Hardin admitted the virtual festival didn’t resonate with audiences as strongly as had been hoped, and she said the standard in-person format is better for industry networking anyway. “I’ve debated that since we started, because I always felt for people who say they have a grandma or somebody that can’t travel, that can’t get on a plane or even drive or something like that, and it’s a great way for somebody who may have missed your screening to see it online; but we got such little response and it was so much work, it didn’t really seem worth it to me,” Hardin explained, clarifying that depending on demand, it’s not entirely off the table. As to how the new dates will affect the future of the festival, Hardin said it’s a possibility that it returns to an earlier setting in the spring. That also has yet to be seen, though. “To be honest, we’re just nervous about the future of movie theaters in general,” Hardin admitted. “So it’s the kind of thing where you just have to play it by ear.”

Pasadena International Film Festival WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 9, to Thursday, Sept. 16 WHERE: Laemmle Playhouse 7, 673 E. Colorado Boulevard; Lyd & Mo Photography Studio, 27 N. Mentor Avenue; The Speakeasy, 25 N. Raymond Avenue; other venues TBD COST: $30 for the day pass; $50 for the Great Gatsby Gala and Award Ceremony; $120 for the screenings, panels and parties pass; and $180 for the all-access pass INFO: pasadenafilmfestival.org

David Duchovny’s third full-length album, “Gestureland,” comes out Aug. 20.

Singing is a surprise to David Duchovny

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Submitted photo

ultihyphenate entertainer David Duchovny calls his latest single, “Nights are Harder These Days,” a “rocker.” He even sneaks in a few listens while driving. “I don’t want to be caught playing it in my own car, though, so I have the windows up,” he said with a smile. “It works in the car, and that’s important. It’s a rocker.” “Nights are Harder These Days” appears on his third full-length album, “Gestureland,” which will be available on Aug. 20. The follow-up to 2018’s “Every Third Thought,” “Gestureland” represents three years of songwriting that strengthened the band’s relationship. “At first, we were thrown together to make the first album,” he said. “They are a good bit younger than me, and they were very conscious of trying to do what they thought I wanted to do, when, in fact, I really didn’t know what the hell I was doing. “By the second album, I said there were no hands off. I want to collaborate; make me better, please. By the third album, it was less me writing a song on GarageBand and then sending it to them.” The band he’s referring to is keyboardist Colin Lee, guitarist/synths Pat McCusker, bassist Mitchell Stewart, guitarist Keenan O’Meara and drummer Davis Rowan. “They’re really great musicians,” he said. “I feel like I’m fairly limited in what I can do and what I can come up with. I certainly, in the first album, I made what you call ‘musical mistakes.’ “The guy I started making any kind of music with was Keaton Simons, a terrific singer-songwriter. I gave him my first, probably, three songs, maybe two. We were just recording them in his garage. He said, ‘I love working with you because you remind me of me, with the way you play and write.” Duchovny is best known as an award-winning actor, director and novelist starring in shows like “The X-Files” and “Californication,” winning a Golden Globe for both. His first novel, “Holy Cow,” was released by Farrar Straus and Giroux in February 2015 and hit the New York Times Bestsellers list. With several books behind him, Duchovny just wrapped shooting “The Bubble,” a new Judd Apatow film, and will appear in the upcoming Netflix series “The Chair” on Aug. 27. On the music front, Duchovny is eager to take the show on the road but is hesitant because of the Delta variant. “I always get such a kick playing live,” Duchovny said. “We make our show into a whole evening and take people on a journey. I can’t wait to do a version of this album for a tour” Duchovny said he recorded his albums the way he grew up listening to music he bought. “If I bought an album, that was a commitment,” he said. “Once I had that album, I played that album, I looked at the lyrics and I just enjoyed it. “I want listeners to have a relationship with the album.” Singing wasn’t always Duchovny’s goal. “That’s an understatement,” he said with a laugh. “Literally I was told to mouth the words to Christmas carols. I did not have a natural voice. Nobody would have thought I would be a singer. “It’s been a journey of discovery for me, really discovering my voice. I knew I sounded terrible, and if you know you’re off, you can get there with practice. I’m never going to have one of those voices like Lady Gaga. I can sing in tune pretty much. I’ve worked at it, and I hope other people enjoy it.”

Sheetal Gandhi as Mehndi Sita in Lavina Jadhwani’s “The Sitayana or (‘How to Make an Exit’),” directed by Reena Dutt.

Epic story retold through 3 female lenses I

t can get rough being the ideal woman. It’s why sometimes her story needs to get retold so she can get a bit of her own back. The “Ramayana” is an epic folktale and spiritual myth in the Indian and Hindu tradition. Over the centuries, it’s been told and retold in many interpretations and forms. It is one of the best-known epics, featuring the story of Ram, for whom it is named, and Sita, a celestial beauty who is born directly from the earth and who is often held up as the ideal woman and wife. Playwright Lavina Jadhwani started writing about Sita in 2006 after realizing that the stories she was told as a child about the famous lovers only scratched the surface. Now her play, “The Sitayana (or ‘How to Make an Exit’),” will virtually premiere at East West Players Saturday, Sept. 25, to Sunday, Sept. 27. Actually, it will get three world premieres performed by three actors at different stages of life, providing yet another layer of complexity to this Indian folk hero. East West Players is partnering with San Francisco’s EnActe Arts and New York City’s Hypokrit Productions to present the premieres. Sita as a hero Jadhwani stressed that while she fictionalized and extrapolated the context for Sita in her play, the events are real. It all comes from the various retellings of the epic story. “It’s a story many of us know, but there are so many different versions that are in different regions and languages,” Jadhwani said. “I grew up with Ram and Sita and was told about Sita proving her purity, but at the time, I didn’t know what that meant. “When I was in my early 20s, I went, ‘Wait a minute, she walked through fire?’ I didn’t know that part of the story. When I got deeper into it, I found they kicked her out when she was pregnant. Why aren’t we telling this version of the story?” In the traditional tale, Ram wins Sita with his “manliness” and they live in luxury in a palace until Ram’s stepmother has them exiled to the forest. They live a simple life, having adventures until Sita is kidnapped by a demon king and held hostage for a year. Ram eventually rescues her and, even though she had turned down all the demon king’s advances and slept in his garden rather than his

home, Ram rejects her, accusing her of sleeping in another man’s place. Different tales have different versions of what happens next. Many say Sita then threw herself on a funeral pyre in anguish but was spared by the flames because she was so pure. They return home to the palace where Ram takes his rightful place as king. They are happy until Sita gets pregnant with twins and Ram overhears a launderer bad-mouthing Sita’s purity. So, he exiles Sita to the woods, where she lives for 14 years, raising her twin sons. Eventually, Ram finds her and claims the boys. Sita has had enough of things and asks her Mother Earth to open up and swallow her. “The story of Ram and Sita is one as old as time,” said Snehal Desai, the East West Players’ producing artistic director. “What Lavina has brilliantly done here is reframed the story through the lens of modern relationships, along the way upending stereotypes of femininity and providing a refresh to dated views of chastity, commitment and duty.” Jadhwani said it is not her intent to offend with this play, as she was raised Hindu and still practices. But she appreciates how the deities in their religion are human and fallible. “I felt like to an extent, as much as the story had wronged Sita, it had also wronged Ram. He’s hella flawed,” Jadhwani said. “I’m not about being blasphemous, but this is the story.” Desai said the way the story is told feels particularly relevant to what has happened to people during the pandemic. He pointed out that Sita’s journey is one of isolation and loneliness. “She gets outcast and lives in the world, she’s kidnapped and has to live in seclusion in that way,” Desai said. “There was just a resonance of this woman who for so many periods of her life is just alone and how she reconciles that—it felt very resonant to where we are today and all that is going on in the world.” Jadhwani said this is the first play she wrote just out of grad school in 2015. However, it was put aside after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It took the pandemic to pick it up again. She said it was important to investigate Sita as an ideal woman and perfect wife. The more she learned the story, the more it appealed to her. She pointed out that the

“ideal woman” raised her children in the forest and then said, “Naw, Ram, we’re done,” when he shows up again, making a dramatic exit. It wasn’t about changing the story, Jadhwani said, but reframing it. One of the major reframings is that her play is a solo show. Most of the productions she had experienced involved a huge cast with masks and a major emphasis on the battle. “The battle gets two matter-of-fact sentences (in my version),” Jadhwani said. “We know these stories of epic battles and the chariots and golden arrows and the robin with the 10 heads. But what about the battle of the woman who stayed faithful and lost track of the days? That is a type of warfare.” Premiere casts three actors of different ages Director Reena Dutt came up with the concept of having three actors and three designs for the premiere of “The Sitayana.” Jadhwani has been thrilled with the outcome. “At the core of this story is the idea of empowering more female south Asian storytellers,” Jadhwani said. As the show is being produced virtually, audiences can choose the version they want to see or purchase access to all three. One version takes place with a teenage Sita in her childhood bedroom. Another is rooted in the comic book aesthetic, which is how many Indians Jadhwani’s age grew up reading the stories. Another is an abstract one using henna art. “Sita is progressively at different ages for both of those,” Desai said. “What stage in a woman’s life do they want to hear the story from? And then artistically, what do they want the world to feel like?” Desai said the first takes place in a teenager’s bedroom with an interpretation he describes as being “down and dirty.” She makes figurines, posters and shadow puppets to evoke the world of the story. It features Nikita Chaudhry as Sita and is called “Sita’s Slumber Party.” The second features Sheetal Gandhi as Sita, and it is called “Sita’s Mehndi Party.” It focuses on her marriage and invites the audience to be a wedding guest at a party that melds traditional henna art with epic festivities. Mehndi is a form of temporary body art and skin decoration using a paste created from the powdered dry leaves of the henna plant — called henna in the West. The 4,000-year-old body art is popular among Indian women. The third uses comic book silhouettes. Sita is not animated, but she is a figure in her own graphic novel. Minita Gandhi plays Sita, and it is called “Amar Chitra Sita.”

Amar Chitra Katha is a publisher of Indian comics and graphic novels, mostly based on religious legends and epics or folktales and cultural stories. Because the shows are virtual, East West can present it in a couple ways. It will be available on demand until Oct. 17, but there will also be several livestreamed performances. Those attending get to vote on the version they want to watch. The curtain time is at 8 p.m., and the show will be followed with a talkback tied to a scene from the play. Topics will range from cultural adaptations of classical stories, “Brown girls do it well,” and one where an Asian female artist shares her experiences. Desai said each show is a different immersive experience, even though it uses the same script for each one. “There are three different worlds, but the text is recognizable,” Desai said. “You see how different things get accentuated or different details emerge that you didn’t see the first time. It is the same story that you watch in these different ways. There is amazing theatricality in the piece. … You see the particular ways that artists interpret stories.” He said it was meaningful to him as a man to help understand what it is like to be a woman and what the gaze is on femininity in South Asian culture. Jadhwani, who sat in on the rehearsals remotely, said it is a tremendous honor for her that the East West Players, EnActe Arts and Hypokrit Productions are performing them. “Not only one but, in fact, three Asian American companies from both ends of the country are producing this thing. That’s phenomenal,” Jadhwani said. She hopes that such a collaboration will help reach the people of the next generation who are just learning the story of Sita and Ram. “I think a lot about how I grew up with this story missing certain information,” Jadhwani said. “It was as unfair to me as it was to Sita. I don’t want to change the story. I love the story. But we know that how we center and who we center in stories informs how we view the world, so I wanted to open up our world a little more.”

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number as-

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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this int e r n e t w e b s i t e http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-889157SH to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.
