“P

ay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” The Wizard of Oz maintained his ruse for far too long. Eventually, he is revealed to be the fraud that he is by Toto, a scrappy little cairn terrier and Dorothy’s best friend. A whole lot of us have been Totos over the past few decades. It used to be that we female-identified types could be tricked into thinking that we caused our own rapes and assaults, aka victim blaming. The rapists and assailants hid behind a curtain hung by society. The curtain is made of traditional rules about acceptable or not acceptable feminine appearance, behavior and activities. If a man raped a woman because she was wearing a short skirt, was drinking and was in a parking lot (think “Thelma and Louise” or “The Accused”), she was fair game and “asking for it.” “Pay no attention to my pants around my ankles, my punch to her face, my hatred…” The rapist justifies his violence by cruelly deflecting responsibility for his actions. Sadly, the “she made me do it; it’s her fault” dodge is still in play. However, #MeToo brought the reality for women into the forefront more than anything I can think of in my decades of feminist activism. The rapist — and rapist alone — is responsible for rape; to argue otherwise is to infantilize men and uphold vicious misogyny. Victim blaming also happens in families. In the 1980s, codependency started to receive a lot of attention. Authors and thinkers like Melodie Beattie and John Bradshaw illuminated the dysfunctional families that victimized truth tellers in the family. I know because I was one of those truth tellers, effectively being gaslit by my parents and sisters. “Pay no attention to mommy upset all the time, daddy mostly absent, sister being a fall-down drunk…” As the youngest, I often saw things that everyone else was in denial about. I was often told that I was too dramatic, blowing things out of proportion or outright lying. It took years of attending Landmark and 12-Step programs, reading and therapy to sort out what was actually going on. I realized that in the family, as in so many other places, the best defense is a rigid offense: “No, you are not seeing what you’re seeing.” What small person can defend themselves and their position when it’s the tallest people in the house who are telling them that they’re crazy? Now I’ve projected these “man behind the curtain” examples onto the climate crisis. For my own well-being, I am publicly declaring that no matter how many bottles and cans I recycle, how much I walk instead of drive, how many gallons of water I conserve, we are all affected by outdated, ineffective policies that generate waste and degrade our environment. Please don’t hear this like I’m going to stop doing the “little things”; I will continue doing them. That said, the actual problem here is greed and laissez-faire capitalism. I think there is an economic system that can work, but it hasn’t been invented yet. “Pay no attention to deregulation, chemical dumping, oil company pillaging, and on and on…” Hey, everyone! Cut back, do your part, pitch in… while the Wizard wraps himself in the curtain to cover up the constant assault. Hey, if the Earth didn’t want to be ravished, Mother Earth shouldn’t have worn so many tempting resources, right? It’s her fault! The list I have of mind-boggling facts and follies is too long to list here. Don’t these CEOs and corporate board members of the uberwealthy 1% have offspring and grandkids who can hold their feet to the fire? My parents’ generation of Republicans would be mortified if they knew the degree to which ex-Soviet-era hackers and oligarchs work relentlessly to undermine the United States. Where are the stockholder demonstrations? Where’s the outrage? Where’s the disinvestment from oil, similar to the disinvestment movement we saw toward apartheid

South Africa? OK, here’s a fact for you: New, significant studies from credible sources show that “natural” gas inside homes causes air pollution at much higher rates than outside! Decades ago, marketing flacks got the word “natural” tacked onto indoor gas as a way to deflect consumer worries about possible side effects. “Pay no attention to how the oil and gas industry doesn’t care one whit about you and your family’s health…” In our home, the only action we can take right now is to get a more efficient vent hood to draw out the fumes. If we had buckets of disposable income, we’d switch to an induction range pronto. Yet lobbyists are still working to keep their shareholders “cooking with gas.” Not a cheery commentary, is it? On the upside, I am comforted by the Ending Gender-Based Violence community, which I’ve been a member of for decades. They successfully re-contextualized attack victims to attack survivors. I hope we, victims of corporate and societal greed, can survive these coming decades. Please have your Totos pull back as many curtains as possible. Do it now.

Fire chief’s advice for potentially dangerous fire season By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

s a child, Chad Augustin dreamed of helping people while also riding on the side of a truck as a profession. “I always knew that I wanted to do something to help,” the now 48-yearold Augustin said. “When I was a little kid I either wanted to be a firefighter or a garbage collector.” Augustin chose the former, leading to an over 20-year career as a firefighter. A year after the controversial retirement of Fire Chief Bertral Washington, Augustin was hired to replace him. With a fire season that experts said they believe will be the most devastating, Augustin and the Pasadena Fire Department hope to educate residents on how to adequately prepare for the next few months.

What is the fire department doing to prevent a major wildfire? First and foremost is educating the community. We recognize that 161 firefighters can’t do it by ourselves. Through that education, we’re taking our firefighters plus 141,000 or so community members to make this community safer. We do 4,000 hazardous vegetation inspections a year in our high-hazard areas. We’re walking properties, talking to homeowners, really trying to educate them, making sure they have defensible space, making sure that their shop is in order so that if a fire comes through that their residence has a chance of not being burned down and that we can defend it. We have great mutual aid agreements and automatic aid agreements in this area of LA County. We do annual training on the latest wildland firefighting techniques, not just with ourselves but with all of our partner agencies so that when we respond, we’re all working together and we’re well-trained together. I would say equally important or more important is we’re doing a lot of community education. You need to have a go bag to be self-sufficient for 24 to 72 hours. You need to have an evacuation route that’s well defined for your family. The Pasadena Fire Department is working with the community in the event of a big fire or any big incident so we’re better equipped.

Fire Chief Chad Augustin started working for Pasadena Fire Department earlier this year. He previously worked for Sacramento Fire Department for over 20 years.

What is the potential for a major wildfire in the Pasadena area? We only have to look at history. We’ve had multiple fires in Southern California in our neighborhoods or neighboring jurisdictions that have come close to us even in the past few years. So, historically, Northern California burns early in the fire season, and in the fall with the Santa Ana winds, Southern California burns. More and more, there really is no fire season. It’s year-round. We just have

What are your concerns for this upcoming fire season? We’re now on track to have the third year in a row of the worst fire season in California history. And every year we say it can’t get any worse. This year to date, we’re at around 6,800 wildfires in California and about 1.6 million acres burned. If you look in Northern California right now, it’s devastating. You have these fires that are wiping out entire communities. This is the 11th driest year in the last 127 years. It is several factors, but you can narrow it down to drought conditions, increasing temperatures, and then with fuel moisture so incredibly low because of the heat and drought conditions, it’s just a recipe for disaster.

heightened activity and slightly less activity. We recognize, especially with the drought and the fuel moisture in bushes and trees, that there is a substantial risk this year. Where are the high-risk areas in Pasadena? When I came here, my first priority was the west side, specifically Linda Vista, the area around the Rose Bowl and above the Rose Bowl. Coming from Northern California, that’s my version of Oakland Hills — that fire was in the early 1990s. It’s very similar here for us. You have up-sloping terrain and narrow roads. You have limited means of access and egress. You have lots of homes that are within the hillsides with trees and brush. We partner with homeowners to make them as safe as possible. We’ve been working for the last few months on an evacuation plan for that side that we expect to have done by the end of this year. That’s probably my top priority for at least this year. Can you explain red flag days? What should residents expect during red flag days? They are triggered when your temperatures are above a certain number with your humidities below a certain number. What we’re saying is that it’s really hot and really dry. Frequently, when we add wind conditions it means that your risk of a fire or a fire that starts small and spreads is substantial on those days. In Pasadena, just because it’s a red flag day, it doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going to trigger a notification. But if we do, there are certain streets where it will trigger no parking (zones). We recognize that that’s a major inconvenience for our residents, so we don’t want to do that unless it’s absolutely necessary. But what we also want to do is make sure that, if there is a fire, we can get our department fire engines and resources in there. If we have narrow streets that are congested with parked cars and we can’t get to a fire, that’s a problem. We’re going to use every bit of data and technology possible to make good, informed decisions so that if we are inconveniencing our residents, it’s for the utmost regard to safety. What are small ways residents can help the fire department? There are two things you can do. We talked about one, and that’s having a plan, having your go bag and your evacuation route. The other is looking at your house. It’s simple things like “do I have a tree that’s near a roadway with branches that hang over and make it difficult for a fire engine to get down the road or get down my driveway? Do I have a tree in my front yard with branches that hang over my roof, which could cause a fire to spread? Do I have high combustible, either shrubs or other vegetation around my house?” If there was a fire, it would be really easy for it to spread from that vegetation to a house. And if you do, cut those back and have a really well-defined defensible space. And if you’re not sure, Pasadena Fire Department is happy to come out and work with you to give you our best advice. If you need advice from the Pasadena Fire Department about hazardous vegetation around your home or for other advice for the upcoming fire season, call the general hotline at 626-744-4655.

Ellen Torres was recently elected to the California PTA and named vice president for Convention.

South Pasadena resident named to state PTA board By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

rowing up in South Pasadena, Ellen Torres’ mother wholeheartedly supported her throughout her school years. “My mom was always involved,” Torres said. “She would help out when she could. Back then, your mom was in the PTA. I always felt that that’s what you did. … It was always something that I knew when I had kids that I would be part of the PTA.” After making her way through the South Pasadena school system and graduating from California State University, Los Angeles, she became the first in her family to earn a four-year degree. She eventually returned to South Pasadena to provide her children with the best education possible. And when her children finally did go to school, she joined the PTA just like her mother did years ago. For more than 30 years, Torres has been in the PTA. She became the president of

the unit, council and district PTAs throughout her career. Recently, she was elected to the California PTA and named vice president for Convention. As COVID-19 slowly drifts away, Torres will plan the annual fair, or Convention, where California PTA members gather for panels and share ideas. Networking is the key to Convention. “She’s the perfect person, and I couldn’t be more excited,” California PTA President Carol Green said about Torres. “When I found out that Ellen was going to be the vice president for Convention the year that I was president, I thought I had hit the jackpot.” Just as her mother before her, Torres joined the PTA over 30 years ago as her oldest son began kindergarten. “I just wanted to be active in my kids’ life,” Torres said. “I’ve always known that the more you’re involved the better kids do in school.” She recalled standing in between two baseball fields as her two sons played in Little League, cheering on one end before running over and watching her other son step up to bat. Torres and her husband, Edward, felt that it was important to be active in their children’s lives. “I just wanted to be with my kids,” Torres said. “I wanted to experience everything with them. I wanted them to experience things that I didn’t get to do.” When Torres started in the PTA, she did simple fundraisers and volunteered, but as she continued, she felt she needed to advocate more for the students. When her children were in school, Torres did not believe families should pay out of pocket for their children’s education. She helped raise money for a reading specialist and helped repeal a long-standing bus fee for athletes and cheerleaders. “The PTA is a huge advocate. They’re the largest advocacy group for children,” Torres said. “Most people think it’s just fundraising, selling gift wrap, that type of stuff. But it’s so much more. We are the largest advocacy group, and we can make policy changes.” Torres and the PTA have helped pass legislation that pushed back the starting time of schools after research showed that it helped students excel in classrooms. After her children graduated from the school district, Torres continued to serve on the PTA to ensure everyone receives an equal education. Torres was raised in a working-class family. Her father worked long hours at the local grocery store. He often missed major moments in her life to ensure that he could support the rest of the family. “It’s not noticeable nowadays, but at the time it was the haves and have-nots,” Torres said. “I lived near El Centro (Elementary School), which was not considered the ‘have’ part of town.” Her family’s situation meant her parents could not afford for Torres to take electives like photography. Cameras were out of their price range. “That’s the main reason I have been so actively involved in PTA,” Torres said. “(I wanted) to make a difference, and so everything was equal for kids. “Kids shouldn’t have to put out their own money. Families shouldn’t have to put out their own money.” Long after her children had graduated from college, Torres continues to advocate for South Pasadena children. “I’ve never ever stopped being involved with PTA,” Torres said. “I’ve always felt that this is where I needed to be.” Her enthusiasm to help her community caught the eyes of others in the PTA. “Ellen always thinks of the whole community,” Green said. “She has worked and volunteered in the PTA even when her children had moved on to other schools. She’ll stay with the school and help out. She really cares about all the kids in the community. “She’s there for people, and she’s just a lovely person. Her community is so lucky to have her.” In the past few years, membership in the PTA has declined. The closure of schools caused by the COVID-19 pandemic only made matters worse. “The pandemic has really cut our numbers,” Torres said. “Our main focus is getting our membership back up.” As students and teachers return to in-person learning and as school sites reopen, she hopes to persuade parents to join the PTA and become involved with their children’s lives. “People think that joining PTA means you have to volunteer, and that’s not necessarily true nowadays,” Torres said. “It’s a voice, and the more members we have the bigger our voice is.” Torres has also served on several other boards and community organizations. She was on the board of the Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library; the president of the San Marino Chapter of the National Charity League, an organization her daughter was also a part of; and the committee chair for the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses.

Assemblymember Chris Holden hopes to further regulate the amount of lead in drinking water.

Holden promotes bill to reduce lead in drinking water

By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

ssemblymember Chris Holden advocated for his Assembly Bill 100 that would further regulate the amount of lead in drinking water during an Aug. 26 web conference. “California has been working to reduce residents’ exposure to lead, yet it is still leaching into our drinking water through faucets and fixtures,” Holden said. “We’re hopeful that this bill, AB 100, will be released from Senate appropriations today and make it to the governor’s desk for signature so we can keep Californians safe from the harmful effects of lead.” The bill has received support from Clean Water Action; the Environmental Working Group; the Western Center on Law and Poverty; and CALPIRG, a statewide advocacy organization. “Our message is clear,” said Jenn Engstrom, CALPIRG state director. “Lead in our drinking water is dangerous for our communities, especially children. We need to do everything we can to get the lead out.” AB 100 aims to reduce lead leaching in endpoint devices, such as faucets, to no more than 1 microgram — five times better than the current industry standard. In a water distribution system, corrosion of pipes and solder causes the dissolution of these materials. The metals then leach into the water supply, which causes lead and copper concentrations in the water to increase If passed, AB 100 would be the strictest lead leaching law in the nation. As students return to school amid the COVID-19 pandemic, participants of the press conference focused on the negative effects lead can have on children. “As we learned from the pandemic, many school buildings are old and have not been adequately maintained with adequate ventilation or plumbing,” said Dr. Alice Kuo, UCLA chief of pediatric medicine. Lead is a highly toxic metal sometimes found in older water pipes. Lead exposure can damage the brains and central nervous system of young children. Even at low levels, lead exposure is dangerous to children. It can cause IQ loss, learning disabilities, behavioral problems and impaired hearing. When exposed to lead, adults can have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and kidney and nervous system problems. “We know toxic lead exposure is not good for children’s brains,” Kuo said. “Lead poisoning still happens though in the United States. And after the Flint, Michigan, water crisis, we’re more aware of the importance of removing all sources of lead that children could be exposed to.” In the past several years, California has worked to reduce lead exposure in schools and child centers. In 2017, the state Legislature passed AB 746, which required testing of public schools tap water. In 2018, Holden authored AB 2370, which expanded the required testing to child care centers. In 2012, Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 365, which made California the first state to legally recognize the human right to water. However, advocates such as Clean Water Action Policy Director Andria Ventura said they believe that with faucets leaching lead, California is failing to fulfill its obligation to provide clean drinking water. “We cannot fulfill this obligation if we have lead coming out of our taps,” she said. 09.02.21 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

Sirhan Sirhan recommended for parole C

By Jana J. Monji Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

riminal law attorney Angela Berry was 3 when Pasadena resident Sirhan Sirhan shot Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel on June 5, 1968. Despite her age, Berry recognizes that the presidential candidate’s death was “such a loss to our country.” So, when Sirhan’s only surviving sibling, brother Munir, called Berry in June 2020 about the felon’s impending parole, she accepted the case pro bono. After all, before his death, Kennedy as well as Paul Schrade, who was also shot, supported parole. Munir arranged for the purchase of the gun that killed Kennedy. “While I am relatively young, I am winding down my career and planning on moving to a much calmer place in the world,” she said. Sirhan was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County. On Aug. 27, the California parole board recommended parole. Two of Kennedy’s sons, Robert Jr. and Douglas, supported it, but former Rep. Joe Kennedy II said it was a “grievous error.” Courtney, Kerry, Christopher G., Maxwell T. and Rory Kennedy supported Joe II. “Let there be no mistake, the prisoner’s release will be celebrated by those who believe that political disagreements can be solved by a gun,” he added. Berry said she wanted to express her deep sorrow over their loss. “Parole is the norm; denial is the exception,” she added. On Aug. 27, in his 16th appearance before the parole board and after 53 years in prison, Sirhan was recommended for parole. The decision, however, is subject to a 90day review by the California Board of Parole Hearings. After that, Gov. Gavin Newsom has 30 days to grant, reverse or modify the decision. If Sirhan is granted parole, he will likely be released first to a halfway house to help him transition to a world that has changed considerably since 1968. His stated intention is to join Munir and live the rest of his life in Pasadena. At 77, Sirhan has outlived Robert F. Kennedy’s sons, David and Michael. Even the Ambassador Hotel, where Sirhan shot Kennedy, is gone. Donald Trump bought the hotel in 1991, but eventually it was reborn as the campus for the Central Los Angeles New Learning Center and a complex for the six Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools. Born in Jerusalem to an Arab Palestinian Christian family in 1944, Sirhan came to the United States with his family at age 12. His father, who has been described as abusive, returned to Jordan soon after, deserting the family. In 1963, his family bought a house in Pasadena. Sirhan attended Eliot Junior High, John Muir High School and Pasadena City College, but he retained his Jordanian citizenship. His eldest brother died before his family came to the United States. His father died in 1987, with his mother following in 2005.

App tracks COVID-19 vaccination and testing By Matthew Rodriguez Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

s more and more entities require proof of vaccination or negative tests of COVID-19 to work, dine or socialize, the people behind ConfirmD say they believe they have a simple solution. BuddyCheque’s ConfirmD app allows individuals and companies a simple and secure way to share their COVID-19 vaccination status and test results. ConfirmD was founded in April 2020 by health care and technology experts, including the CIA’s former chief of counter-intelligence operations, Karl Wagner. “People need to be able to share, especially now with the mandates, both vaccine and testing data,” said Wagner, who is also the senior director for global security at Tesla. “Some people don’t want to get vaccinated, so they got to share testing, and it’s hard to do.” COVID-19 continues to affect all Californians as the state records over 14,234 cases weekly and 78 deaths weekly. The Delta variant has caused a recent uptick in cases and deaths. As of deadline, the state reported about 14,000 cases and 100 deaths in one day. Hospitalizations have also increased, as over 8,000 occupy vital hospital beds, a 24.7% increase from two weeks ago. With its high vaccine rate, Pasadena has fared well with the Delta variant with a 26.1 seven-day average and zero deaths reported in the last seven days. However, coronavirus outbreaks in nearby Los Angeles schools have caused 6,500 students to miss one or more days during the first week of school. About 3,000 students were isolated after testing positive and another 3,500 were quarantined after being in close contact with those infected. Pasadena Unified School District has recorded 45 student cases and 19 staff cases since Aug. 1. There are 344 students and staff quarantined. As the pandemic continues to stop the spread of COVID-19, states such as California require all state school employees — public and private — to get vaccinated or get tested weekly. Other companies and municipalities require their employees to show proof of vaccination or get tested weekly if they want to return to work. Politicians are also debating mandating a vaccine passport for residents. Earlier this month, San Francisco city officials said customers will need proof of full vaccination at indoor venues such as restaurants, bars and gyms. Keeping track of the various test results and the all-important vaccine card is difficult. Wagner speaks from personal experience as he fumbles over the stack of papers containing his test results after traveling throughout Europe. He has also lost his vaccine card. “I’ve literally got three of these over the last nine days,” Wagner said. “That’s not what we should be doing in the 21st century. As a mobile and web app, ConfirmD provides individuals with a singular place to store their medical information, allowing them to no longer fumble through separate apps or emails to verify vaccination or test results. Companies that require proof of vaccination or results can also use the app to track the well-being of their staff. “If you have 40,000 employees, are you expecting them to bring in pieces of paper,” Wagner said. “The vaccine card is one thing, but what if they don’t want to get the vaccine and they want to test? Are they going to bring in this paper? Are you going to lose it? ... We solved all that.” ConfirmD is also Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant, meaning that all of the users’ medical information is secure and cannot be disclosed without the patients’ consent or knowledge. “The user’s privacy and user’s choice is our top concern,” Wagner said. ConfirmD can also notify users to receive their boosters as talks of it intensify. “We knew that future notification was going to be important,” said co-founder Dr. Ramsey Kilani, a former radiologist. “We’re able to notify people very specifically about when not only their manufacturer needs a booster but when (users) need a (booster).” To ensure that people do not create fake profiles, ConfirmD requires users to upload photos of their identity documents like driver’s licenses or passports that have photos of their face. “Our facial matching includes liveliness,” Wagner said. “I can’t just hold up a picture of somebody. There has to be a live human being who matches the ID.” Individuals and companies can also pay to verify their records through medical professionals. “We found out through our first thousand users that they wanted us to verify their records,” Wagner said. “We have off-duty doctors, nurses and EMS-certified practitioners who we pay.” Wagner compares the service to the ride-sharing app Uber, where medical professionals act somewhat as a notary service for these documents. ConfirmD is working with California educational officials following the state’s vaccine mandate for educators. It hopes to allow users to upload other medical information and vaccinations. “We’re going to be part of the solution not only for COVID but for people, in general, to take back their medical record and use it to their own advantage, which is what it should be,” Kilani said.

At Café de Leche, coffee is community

Anya Schodorf and Matthew Shodorf own Café de Leche.

Café de Leche

2477 N. Lake Avenue, Altadena 626-807-2900, cafedeleche.net 5000 York Boulevard Highland Park 323-551-6828, cafedeleche.net

att and Anya Schodorf opened their first location of Café de Leche at York Boulevard and Avenue 50 in Highland Park in 2008. It was a pioneering effort at the time, as Starbucks barely managed to open its first store on the other side of Figueroa. Café de Leche was among the first cafés in Los Angeles to serve artisanal roasted coffee. The opening on York also signaled one of the first turns on the boulevard that led to Highland Park’s status as a hipster mecca, on par with Williamsburg in Brooklyn. The Schodorfs’ timing seemed prescient, and their corner coffee shop with a play area for kids soon became a neighborhood fixture. Ultimately, success there led to the opening of their second outlet in Altadena, on North Lake Avenue, in 2016. The interior of the Altadena store is tiny, as compared to its big sister in Highland Park. That said, it has a lovely outdoor shaded patio in back. Elegantly designed with seating areas surrounded by native plants and succulents, it is an unexpectedly serene oasis. “I haven’t been on the patio for the past week, so I want to make sure my plants are still looking good. This is my baby,” Anya said as she surveyed the area. Matt added, “She personally curates the patio and maintains it. More and more people are just discovering it. We like to think of it as a hidden gem, in a way.” Anya has a designer’s eye and is working on a renovation of their original location in Highland Park. “We’re doing a modest remodel in Highland Park,” she said. “So, we’re excited about that. I’m doing most of the interior design for that. We’ve partnered with the original interior designer and architect for that location, David Freeland. He designed Highland Park and this one. They’re both inspired by Nicaragua. That’s where I’m from.” The couple met in the Highland Park neighborhood in 2001. Devoted parents, they raised their two children Penelope, 17, and Tomas, 14, while growing their business. Both are students at Maranatha High School in Pasadena. When Café de Leche opened in Highland Park, so-called “specialty” coffee was a new concept. The Schodorfs opened the café serving Portland, Oregon-based Stumptown Coffee. “We were one of the first Stumptown accounts in Los Angeles,” Matt said. “When we opened, specialty coffee — which is everywhere now, really — was pretty young. We were actually getting Stumptown FedExed out of Portland for three or four years before they started roasting it here. “It’s a big corporate thing now. Back in the day, it was more of a rarified thing. We had them for a long time, and we had a great relationship with them. But then we struck out on our own, about five years ago now.” Anya explained they wanted to express themselves through their coffee. “What’s important are the relationships in coffee,” Matt added. “Most of what people know of coffee are brown beans in a bag. Where do they come from?” That question inspired the Schodorfs to source their coffee “at origin” from the farms, where the beans are grown. “We just wanted to be able to have the power to choose what coffees to put on bar,” Anya said. “At the end of the day, it’s what’s important to us — to be able to choose, to hand-select the coffees we think are best for our business, for our customers.” Café de Leche is part of a global community, Matt said, except for Hawaii and Puerto Rico, where coffee is not a domestic product. It’s originally from Ethiopia. The couple has traveled to Nicaragua, El Salvador and Ethiopia to meet farmers and establish relationships to source the beans they roast on-site in Highland Park. Through Stumptown coffee, the Schodorfs were introduced to Francisco Javier Valle, who grew up on his father’s coffee farm in Nicaragua. Subsequently, he was drafted by Stumptown and moved to Portland to be the company’s head roaster. Valle left Stumptown to return to Nicaragua to establish a dry mill for local producers,

Horchata con espresso is on the menu at Café de Leche. which provides a critical phase of coffee bean cultivation. “He produces coffee essentially for a hundred different farmers in Nicaragua,” Matt said. “We were introduced to him, and that was the first time we visited a coffee farm. His company is called Expo Camo. He’s just a wonderful man.” That was in 2017. Similar trips to farms in El Salvador in 2018 and Ethiopia in 2019 followed. Since opening in Altadena, the Schodorfs have also developed relationships with local chefs and food trucks and maintain a regular schedule of culinary pop-up events outside the café. It harks back to Schodorf ’s Luncheonette, which opened in 2010 and ran for five years. “Matt wanted to offer food to the community because there really wasn’t much. We were ahead of the times,” Anya said. “There wasn’t a lot of food on the block at the time,” Matt added. “We tried to do something simple: soups, sandwiches and salads. We found out that we aren’t restaurateurs.” Matt noted they served breakfast tacos before HomeState, referring to the local TexMex chain. Similarly, on opening the Altadena location, guests wanted food service. “People were asking for food,” Matt said. “We don’t have a kitchen. Your living room is probably bigger than our café. How can we serve the community best and make stronger connections within the community?” They decided to start pop-up events. “It started here with Sus Arepas,” Anya said, referring to the popular local food truck serving Argentinian arepas. Café de Leche is now its regular stop on Saturdays, which also features nonfood concessions like plants or jewelry and occasionally desserts from the bakery Sweet Story. Thursdays and Sundays, brunch service is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. by Brisa Lopez and her Tacos Casa stand. On Fridays, prospective new food vendors rotate. The Schodorfs credit the robust pop-up activity of Sara and Steven Valdes from Sara’s Market on City Terrace Drive north of Downtown LA as a model for their own pop-up presentation schedule. “They inspired me to get serious about it,” Matt noted. As to the future, besides the renovations at the Highland Park café, the couple is negotiating to provide coffee service to Pasadena City College. It all represents the widening reach of Café de Leche as a vital community hub. “It’s just the ability to make friends all over the world by doing what we love to do. Coffee brings people together,” Anya said. 09.02.21 | PASADENA WEEKLY 13

Sparkletts is part of a much larger company, but its bottling plant is still in Eagle Rock.

Sparkletts is an Eagle Rock landmark By Christopher Nyerges Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

ooking at Sparkletts’ advertisements, it’s easy to think that its water comes from a faraway snowy mountain peak. However, its bottling plant is in nearby Downtown Eagle Rock. Sparkletts is just one remnant of the water that once freely flowed in the area, until an increased population and the “development” made the water infrastructure all but invisible. Let’s begin by looking at the topography of the Northeast Los Angeles. To the north and east of the iconic “Eagle Rock” flows the Eagle Rock Creek. It’s visible east of Figueroa, north of Colorado. The stream was a tourist location 150 years ago when water flowed through a picturesque area of sycamores, wild roses and blackberries. The water flowed to the south, just east of Figueroa, and when it came to the hills, it flowed westward, roughly along Yosemite Drive, all the way to Eagle Rock Boulevard. Water from the stream and various springs flowed either to the Arroyo Seco or to Eagle Rock Boulevard. Today, the temporary streams and springs are cemented over and in underground pipes because, as development increased, water was regarded as a problem — not an asset. The significant low spot of the Eagle Rock area, near York and Eagle Rock boulevards, was known as the Cienega del Garvanza region. In 1876, Ludwig Luis Salvador made note of a significant low area in the southern Eagle Rock area, the “Cienega del Garvanza, a small green swamp with clumps of bunchgrass and at the bottom, Sacate de Matico, which never dries out.”

Sparkletts In August 1925, a new water company was founded by Eagle Rock resident Burton N. Arnds Sr. and a partner. They bottled the water at the Cienega, and their clever marketing transformed the water of the Cienega del Garvanza into not only a pure water but a “live” water. It was advertised to be 85.4% saturated with oxygen — the cause of its special sparkle, hence Sparkletts. The water came from a well near York and Avenue 48, and the company was called the Sparkling Artesian Water Company, later changed to simply Sparkletts. Promotion of Sparkletts was so successful that, within a couple months of the opening, the Highland Park News Herald reported concerns about filling the orders. In 1929, Sparkletts officials said a new plant would be built in a Moorish style by Richard D. King to symbolize an oasis. The new bottling plant cost about $200,000 and stretched across most of the 4500 block of Lincoln Avenue, which is just south and parallel to York. The “new” facilities increased maximum capacity to 125,000 gallons a day. The company spent one third of its income on advertising. By the mid ’30s, at least three distributors of bottled water besides Sparkletts operated out of the old Cienega del Garvanza area. As Sparkletts grew, though it has continued to bottle the water from the Cienega area, it expanded to other cities and states. Whereas the original water was simply pumped into bottles, today the operation contains a few more steps. The water that flows from underground is sent into tanks across the street to the processing plant. Then it is all passed through a reverse osmosis system to remove all minerals from the water. Though the minerals in the water give it its character, Sparketts did that so it could reintroduce its own “recipe” of minerals into the water for consistency. The water from Eagle Rock is then injected with ozone for sanitation purposes, before being sent to the filling room, where the 5-gallon containers are filled. A state-certified laboratory runs about three dozen tests on the water hourly. As of this writing, Sparklets bottles 45,000 bottles, or 225,000 gallons, daily. That’s nearly double the 1929 level of bottling, with no sign that the remarkable “well” is running dry. It sounds like a large amount of water for the low spot in the landscape near York and Eagle Rock boulevards. Yet, at the average per capita consumption in Los Angeles of about 120 gallons of water per person per day, that takes care of only 1,875 people. In a true hardship where everyone had to conserve water — getting by on 30 gallons a person per day — a daily bottling from Sparkletts would serve 7,500 people. That’s substantial, but still not enough for the large population living here, which is why the northeast, along with most of LA County, obtains its water from 300-plus miles away from three aqueducts. This sparkling water rises up under pressure, from hundreds of feet underground, from its presumed granite sources without the aid of pumps, reservoirs or filters. The deep underground water eventually passes through brass pipes to a point 22 feet above the ground level, where it is then sent through the bottling operation. Sparkletts is now part of a much larger company, but its bottling plant still operates in Eagle Rock. Sparkletts was sold in 1964 to Foremost Dairies, which was then acquired by San Francisco-based McKesson-Robbins. In 2000, Sparkletts was became a part of the Danone Group, and in 2003, DS Waters was created, with Sparkletts as one of its bottled water delivery brands.

By 1880, attorney Andrew Glassell began developing the Cienega as a water source by drilling wells. Water flowed from the wells without the aid of wind, steam or gas. (Glassell received a portion of the Rancho San Rafael land from the lawsuit known as the Great Partition of 1871. Glassell settled in the area with his family). By the early 1900s, the Huggins family lived in this area. A stream cut deep through the rear of the property, feeding into a lake that sprawled onto what is now El Paso Drive. Here, the placid pool was a favorite spot for Sunday picknickers who paused to water their horses. Bob Moffitt told researcher Lily Jane Tsong that his mother-in-law, Esther Kratz, remembered this marshy area as Skunk Hollow. She described the artesian wells as not simply bubbling out of the ground — but spurting into the air. Numerous bottling plants sprouted up in the area. Despite the efforts to bring water from afar into the growing city of Los Angeles, Northeast Los Angeles was historically the site of many bottling companies.

The Lounge Art Ensemble performs at Mount Wilson Observatory Sunday, Sept. 5.

Mount Wilson turns to jazz for Sunday concert By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

ount Wilson Observatory Artistic Director Cécilia Tsan said she now has hope for music, live entertainment and the future of the arts. The robust ticket sales for two-concert Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome — the second of which is Sunday, Sept. 5 — inspired her. “It’s very promising and it gives me hope for the next season, which, hopefully, will be complete,” Tsan said. “This season is only two shows, but next season will be much better. We’ll do an entire summer of great music.” This Sunday, the Lounge Art Ensemble returns. Led by Weather Report drummer Peter Erskine, this jazz trio features saxophonist Bob Sheppard and bassist Darek Oles with another “carte blanche” program of jazz standards. “He’s quite an iconic jazz musician,” Tsan said of Erskine. “He’s among the greatest jazz musicians on Earth. To have him wanting to come back is truly an honor and joy.” Like the classical concert on Aug. 1, this performance will be held under the vaulted dome of Mount Wilson Observatory’s 100-inch telescope. “It’s quite extraordinary,” Tsan said. “Once everybody’s seated, the trustee who’s in charge of the whole season and who invited me welcomes the audience. They rotate it, and then we arrive and play. It’s quite an experience. “The acoustics are so incredible. It has one of the best acoustics in the world.” The principal cellist for the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, Tsan co-founded the Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome series. Born in France, Tsan began playing the cello with the same teacher as her childhood friend, Yo-Yo Ma. A philosophy and Chinese Major, she graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris under André Navarra. She is a prizewinner at the Barcelona, Florence and Paris international competitions. Tsan tours throughout the world as a soloist and as a chamber musician with Rudolf Firkusny, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Michel Dalberto, Pascal Rogé, Simone Pedroni, Pierre Amoyal, Augustin Dumay and Martin Chalifour. She has also recorded hundreds of movie soundtracks with John Williams, James Newton-Howard, James Horner, Randy Newman, Danny Elfman and Alexandre Desplat. Tickets, $50, for seating inside the historic dome, are limited. Concert attendees must be fully vaccinated. Children younger than 12 are not permitted. Masks are required. Access to the dome performances is via a 53-step staircase. Mount Wilson Observatory sits at a mile-high elevation, so the air is noticeably thinner. There is no ADA-compliant access. All proceeds support the Mount Wilson Institute in its mission to preserve, protect and promote the observatory and its accomplishments.

Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome featuring the Lounge Art Ensemble, Jazz Trio WHEN: 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 5; There will be a 4 p.m. reception with the musicians that the 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. attendees can join.

Cindy Weinstein will participate in an upcoming Zoom discussion.

Science brings together Moby-Dick, dementia By Jana J. Monji Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

he book “Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief and the Brain” covers something that will touch everyone — death and senior moments. Someone will grow old and grow forgetful, and so will we, but it’s a matter of to what degree and how we will handle the inevitable. Caltech Eli and Edythe Broad professor of English Cindy Weinstein and neurologist Bruce L. Miller will virtually discuss their book at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 9. Weinstein was a college graduate student at UC Berkeley when she learned that her father had early onset Alzheimer’s at 58. “When I first moved to Berkeley, my parents were living in New Jersey, where we had lived all our lives,” Weinstein said. “They were on the cusp of a really big transition and moving to Florida. Eventually, all of my father’s official time with the disease he was in Florida, and I was in Berkeley.” Weinstein was “extremely close” to her father and recalled, “I was crushed.” Her two older siblings were still living on the East Coast. Although she thought of transferring to a program on the East Coast, that didn’t seem practical. Knowing her father would have wanted her to continue her degree and become a professor,

Weinstein continued schooling on the West Coast (1982-89). “My sister is almost 9 years older, so she heroically did much of the caregiving for my father and for my mother, as well who was caregiving for my father,” Weinstein said. “My brother handled much of the legalistic, money sorts of things, and he’s six and a half years older than I. I was like a deer in headlights. I did what I could and traveled back to the East Coast when I could.” When her father was diagnosed in the 1980s, very little was known about Alzheimer’s and dementia. Although Weinstein had the idea for the book over a decade ago, it took time for her to find the perfect writing partner. Miller is at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences and the director of memory and aging. He started as an English major, and although their tastes in literature weren’t the same, they hit it off. Miller brought an interdisciplinary program to Weinstein’s attention: the Global Brain Health Initiative (GBHI). In 2015, the Atlantic Philanthropies granted $177 million to UC San Francisco and Ireland’s Trinity College in Dublin to create GBHI, with a goal of “creating a generation of leaders worldwide who have knowledge, skills and drive to change both the practice of dementia care and the public health and societal forces that affect brain health,” said Christopher G. Oechsli, president and CEO of the Atlantic Philanthropies, in a 2015 article for UCSF. Taking a sabbatical from Caltech, Weinstein learned science. With her grasp of literature and science, her book is, in many respects, a holding of shiva for her father. The five-chapter book begins with “Diagnosis” and a subchapter by Weinstein (“Hitting the Fan”), which is then followed by a subchapter (“The Detective Story”) with Miller explaining how dementia has become an umbrella term. Miller wrote, “Considering the time, it is not surprising that Cindy’s father never received a comprehensive assessment. In 1983, standard of care for the evaluation of cognitive symptoms was a brief visit with a physician, 2 to 5 minutes for the history and assessment, followed by a cold goodbye and good luck.” Miller described his background and how now the medical establishment has “changed regarding the recognition of the serious burden faced by caregivers and the patient.” In the second chapter, “Word Finding,” Weinstein examines words (“Call Me Ahab”), first discussing the novel “Moby-Dick” before looking at how her father, a man who attended Rutgers University on the GI Bill, began to lose words, fumbling around searching the dark corridors of his mind, which, in real life, led to an expedition for croutons. According to Weinstein, her father’s story was a real rags to riches. He ran an electric supply house in a time when Home Depot didn’t dominate the national landscape. But it was her mother who gave her a love for language. Her father’s fall into the oblivion of dementia went until his death in August 1997, over a decade after Weinstein learned of his diagnosis. Taking the crouton crumb, Miller builds upon the food culture that gave us croutons before leading us to the medical reality behind “Where Dementia Decides to Dance.” He defines the main differences among the three variants of primary progressive aphasia. So much has changed since then. For Weinstein, she was studying Melville’s “Moby-Dick,” and, in the book, she recounts how she returned to the novel and how life changes gave her different perspectives. There are other literary references, such as “The Scarlet Letter.” “This corner of my mind had a very different relationship to literature,” she said. “It didn’t seep into my professional way of thinking about literature, but it gave me a different way, different identifications that one can have with literature. Less like an approach and more like what literature started meaning for me, a container for a lot of energy, a lot of grief, like an escape.” Yet literature and cinema can give us understanding of events. In the book, Miller discusses how the understanding of dementia has changed and even how most people carry around memories that are false or distorted, but with Alzheimer’s disease, “false memories become more common, even leading to delusional endorsement of events that never happened.”

By Bliss Bowen Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

LADY BLACKBIRD, “Black Acid Soul” (Foundation/BMG): HHHH It takes confidence to sing into spacious arrangements such as these, a quality possessed in abundance by LA-based vocalist Marley Munroe (“the Grace Jones of jazz,” per BBC DJ Gilles Peterson). Chris Seefried’s elegant production gives this stunning debut the feel of a refined classic, guiding the ear to the nuances of Munroe’s stop-you-in-your-tracks contralto as she transforms Irma Thomas’ “Ruler of My Heart” into an anthem of paradoxical self-empowerment, supplants the coiled tension of Nina Simone’s “Blackbird” with raw passion, and eerily owns Sam Cooke’s “Lost and Looking.” Other highlights: sublime piano-vocal meditation “Fix It” (written to Bill Evans’ “Peace Piece”), a stark, emotionally ravishing take on Tim Hardin’s “It Will Never Happen Again,” and a hypnotic crawl inside the James Gang’s “Collage.” ladyblackbird.com JAMES MCMURTRY, “The Horses and the Hounds” (New West): HHHH It’s overstating things to say McMurtry sounds more alive on his first studio album since 2015’s “Complicated Game,” but he certainly sounds recharged. Reunited with guitarist David Grissom and producer Ross Hogarth, who engineered the Texas songwriter’s first two albums (1989’s “Too Long in the Wasteland” and 1992’s “Candyland”), McMurtry delivers another classic of barbed political commentary with roots-rocker “Operation Never Mind” (“No one’s gonna tell us we were wrong/ We won’t let the cameras near the fighting/ That way we won’t have another Vietnam”). But his character-centered narratives survey a broader range of humanity — tempering cynicism and tapping into subtle hope with flowing melodies for “If It Don’t Bleed” and “Vaquero,” and amplifying the mordant wit humanizing “Ft. Walton Wake-Up Call” with a quasi-rap and co-writer Daren Hess’ propulsive drumming. McMurtry occupies a rarified echelon as lyricist and storyteller, and he’s in game form, but it’s his expanded musical dynamics that make this a gratifying surprise. jamesmcmurtry.com ELEKTRIC VOODOO, “Telescope” (Illusion Tournet):

HHH½

Guitarist Scott Tournet’s Afrobeat-inspired psychedelic sextet follows March’s “Rarities, Vol. 1” live set with nine tracks dedicated to late Afrobeat drumming legend Tony Allen. Tournet, who co-founded the Nocturnals alongside Grace Potter before departing after 12 years, composed the songs with the San Diego-based ensemble, and their polyrhythmic tunes are infused with an egalitarian spirit (notably the funky “People of the Earth”). Fevered instrumental exchanges between saxophonist/keyboardists Bradley Nash and Travis Klein, percussionist Ty Kiernan and Tournet evoke the ’70s heyday of Ethiopian jazz master Mulatu Astatke as well as Fela Kuti, and should sate fans until tours resume. Highlights: “Chasing Ghosts”; “Cross That Line”; and hopeful single “Children Are the Revolution,” inspired by Parkland school shooting survivors and Greta Thunberg. elektricvoodoo.com ANDERSON EAST, “Maybe We Never Die” (Low Country/Elektra): HHH½ A sense of not letting time or love go to waste permeates the raspy-voiced Alabama soul-rocker’s latest album, recorded and co-produced during the pandemic by longtime East collaborator Dave Cobb and Brent Cobb/Keith Urban keyboardist Philip Town. Infectious grooves enhanced with electronic dance beats pulse behind his intense vocals on seductive jams “Madelyn” and “Lights On” as well as the ’80s-style, synth-heavy “Hood of My Car,” countering unspoken existential threats with suggestions of healing intimacy. Questions about mortality and human spirit are most overtly addressed during the soaring title track (“Lightning in a bottle/ Breathing underwater/ Nothing ’bout us happened naturally/ Maybe we never die/ Heaven has no goodbyes”). Soul and R&B have always been a core element of East’s heretofore rootsy music; it’s a treat to hear him stretch more in that direction here.

andersoneast.com FANTASTIC NEGRITO, “Rolling Through California”:

HHHH

The Grammy-winning Oakland blues-rocker’s heart-lifting new single addresses California’s all-too-real struggles and hard times in the age of climate change while celebrating its legacy as a mecca of possibility. Bright, melodic guitar lines, a noodly keyboard jam and Miko Marks’ rousing harmonies reinforce hope for California’s future, defying lyrics warning of apocalypse if climate crisis warnings continue to be ignored. Per Fantastic Negrito, who’s teamed with Defy:Disaster, a portion of song proceeds will benefit “firefighters, first responders, and communities impacted by wildfires throughout North America.” Donations can be made at defydisaster.org. Video: https://bit.ly/FantasticNegritoVideo fantasticnegrito.com PURPLE WITCH OF CULVER, “Seven of Wands”: HH½ The LA-based duo’s trippy new single, their fifth, is swathed in glossy synthesizers, layered vocals and skirling keyboards, and resonates with memories of ’60s psychedelic pop and the inescapable contemporary awareness that there is no easy or immediate way out of our current crises. Frontwoman/saxophonist Sarah Safaie is joined on vocals by guitarist/drummer Evan Taylor — a first — and his slightly weary-sounding intonations suit the cosmic worldview: “Loss is a factor of every person’s life/ … Standing down is not the answer/ It’s an illusion that we prefer.” Video: https://bit.ly/PurpleWitchVideo https://bit.ly/PurpleWitchWebsite TRE BURT, “Dixie Red”: HHH½ Singing in the dusty, limber tones of a working-class troubadour, the Northern California guitarist and songwriter delivers a sun-dappled slice of musical poetry with this over-too-soon cut from his new album “You, Yeah, You,” just released by the Oh Boy label. Laced with bittersweet guitar melodies and labelmate Kelsey Waldon’s earnest harmony, the song is a closely detailed tribute to legendary songwriter and Oh Boy founder John Prine, an early champion of Burt’s music and a north star of integrity and inspiration for countless artists: “Blue smoke from my cigarette/ Danced upon my eye/ Moon has risen and it lit your way/ To Paradise.” Video: https://bit.ly/TreBurt treburt.com GABRIELS, “Love and Hate in a Different Time”: HHH½ The empowering title track of the LA-based pop trio’s EP was released in December but continues to gain traction with its infectious refrain and classic soul style — balm for a socially and politically fraught time. Gospel-schooled frontman (and Season 10 “American Idol” contestant) Jacob Lusk’s velvety, precise falsetto conveys pain and resilience as a spirited chorus amplifies the weight of need and loss: “Even in the Valley/ Children smile through misery/ Diamond tears hide the casualties/ Grace and mercy, do you follow me?/ We lost it in the fire.” Video: https://bit.ly/GabrielsVideo https://bit.ly/GabrielsBandcamp

he prestigious “Brand 49: Annual National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper” will be available for free public viewing at the Brand Library & Art Center, starting with an opening ceremony on Sept. 11. “Our annual ‘National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper’ is our most anticipated exhibition of the year,” said Shannon Currie Holmes, exhibition supervisor and gallery director. “I believe that the diversity of art styles and the creative use of a single medium (paper) is why this exhibition is so popular with our patrons. No matter what your taste in art, it can be found in our ‘Works on Paper’ show, and ‘Brand 49’ is no exception.” This year is the 49th annual “Works on Paper” exhibition, and while all the pieces are not exactly “on paper,” every piece must have some element of paper. Holmes said artists get incredibly creative with this medium, and there is more diversity in the pieces than one might expect. “This year’s selection by our talented juror, Marvella Muro, includes painting, printmaking, photography, drawing, etching, weaving, book making, paper cutting, papier-mache, collage, installation art and even augmented reality,” she said. Muro is the director of artistic programs and education at Self Help Graphics and Art. She has been active in the art world since 2011. She sorted through more than 1,200 submitted pieces and narrowed down the selection to 110 to be displayed in the show. “Somehow, I reviewed 1,269 submissions within a month,” she said. “There were a lot of very long nights. When reviewing the artworks, I looked for ingenuity, technique and content. However, I was also intentional about including diverse styles to present the divergent ways artists approach works on paper. “This juried exhibition is not my first time jurying an art show, and this was the most challenging given the number of exceptional works submitted. I was asked to select 110 artworks, but I sat and thought about the installation, how pieces complemented one another or how to create an environment within one of the galleries and included 133.” Besides the large number of submissions, it is also worth noting that 60% of submissions came from artists outside Los Angeles. Debra Thompson, Brand Associates president and coordinator of the exhibit, said out of 126 artists who were selected for the show, about one-third of them were from outside California. She said they received submissions spanning from the East to West coasts, which may have been from the cost of their entrance fee. In light of the financial impact of COVID-19, especially for artists, Brand Associates lowered its submission fees and offered a waiver for those who wanted to participate but could not pay. “This year, given the COVID experience, we were sensitive to the idea that artists over the past year and more had just probably not had an opportunity to be in shows or in shows where people could physically do their work,” Thompson said. “So, we wanted to give them an opportunity, these artists whose income was greatly affected by COVID. So, we reduced our fees considerably and we had a fee waiver so artists who said, ‘I’d like to apply for the show, but I can’t afford to pay the registration fee.’ They were allowed to just, you know, not pay anything to apply. So, I think that really did open up an opportunity to be in the show to a lot of different artists.” The opening ceremony will be the first time the art is available for public viewing. It will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11, and viewers can visit the Brand Library & Art Center or watch a YouTube video of the event from home. During the ceremony, prizes totaling $4,700 will be awarded to six pieces. One will be selected by Muro and is considered a “best in class” award, according to Thompson. Muro will also assist the board of associates in selecting the remaining five pieces for awards. While she did not want to give away her choice, Muro did comment on a few particular pieces that stuck out to her. “The three-dimensional works are spectacular. There is a full-sized kitchen cabinet covered with beautifully printed images from top to bottom,” she said. “I also recall one painting of a female boxer sitting topless with a robe draped over her shoulders. Her eyes show how exhausted she is, and if you look closely, you can see a mirage of another woman looking over her shoulder. There is a combined sense of

LEGALS

Hits & Misses By Rohit Lakshman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

LOGIC, “Bobby Tarantino III” (Def Jam): HH Maryland rapper Logic returned to the studio after a retirement that lasted less than one full year. After the surprisingly good “No Pressure” in 2020, this entry in the “Bobby Tarantino” series yields mixed feelings. While it doesn’t blatantly bite Kendrick Lamar like the first in the series, the songs are objectively less catchy and oftentimes laden with subpar lyricism — even for Logic. However, Logic is himself on this record, and no one else. Unlike the egregious near-plagiarism of tracks like “Deeper Than Money” off of the first “Tarantino” mixtape, the moody lo-fi production on the tracklist of III is original. Of course, Logic has his influences, as do we all, but this mixtape is mediocre. Highlights include “Vaccine” and “Call Me.” LINGUA IGNOTA, “Sinner Get Ready” (Sargent House): HHHH Absolutely electrifying. Rhode Island based singer-songwriter Kristin Hayter takes the best of her former works and cranks it up. With more wicked Christian imagery in the lyrics and medieval group vocals inspired by the Ephrata Cloister, a monastic community that used to operate in Pennsylvania, Lingua Ignota has once again thrown all genre labels into a woodchipper and danced in the splinters. This record is unnerving, more bold and more technically dense. Every track is a masterpiece. IGGY AZALEA, “The End of An Era” (Bad Dreams): ½ There is nothing new on “The End of An Era.” It’s the same mind-numbing refrains, obnoxious synth motifs, and signature cultural appropriation that is practically the Azalea brand. However, if there is one track that stands head and shoulder above the rest, it is the opening, “Sirens.” The hook for this track is this insufferable pitch-shifted refrain that is just barely comprehensible as English, backed by this quiet bouncy melody that plays in the background. Do not give Iggy a chance, but if you do, watch out for such wonderfully subtle and sublime lyrics such as, “Feelin’ too lit to cry/ I love drugs.” LORDE, “Solar Power” (Universal Music): HHH Critics darling Lorde returns to music after a quick jaunt to Antarctica in 2019 (seriously, check out “Going South,” the memoir she wrote about her experience). Inspired by the aforementioned trip to Antarctica, “Solar Power” is just as good as Lorde’s previous work but in a wholly different mood. The Lorde on “Solar Power” is casual, relatable and a little more relaxed. The lines here are witty and clever, rather than the, well, melodrama on her 2017 record “Melodrama.” “Solar Power” is a nice album to cozy up to, nothing revolutionary, but certainly not worth overlooking. Highlights include the title track “Solar Power” and “Secrets from A Girl (Who’s Seen it All).” BEN PLATT, “Reverie” (Atlantic Records): HH Most famous for his Broadway career, Ben Platt proved himself to be a competent songwriter with his 2019 debut “Sing to Me Instead,” where we were treated to powerful, loud emotional ballads for 45 minutes. Platt’s debut was not anything wild, but hey, not a bad start for someone thought only of as “the guy that played Evan Hansen.” However, with “Reverie,” Platt is a pop artist. The tracks on this record are more commercial than his debut, which leaves the audience with a bit of a mixed result. While the sometimes-overbearing dramatism of “Sing to Me Instead” is gone, the amped up commercial is not always a positive. Highlights include “happy to be sad” and the interlude series “king of the world.”

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. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's 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 866-2667512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21000177-1 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. 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 yo u m a tc h th e l a s t 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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21000177-1 CA 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.
