n 1975 I was 22 years old and a first-year student at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. I lived by myself in a tiny Spanish-style house in Van Nuys. The time and place are etched in my brain forever, as this was when I became the target of another law student’s obsession. “I really don’t have time to see anyone,” I said to the young man after the gazillionth invitation to do something — anything — with him. I’ll call him Clive. “I have to study for finals. My study group is meeting here over Christmas break, and I’m making Norwegian cookies.” “I can come over and help,” he said. “No, it’s dangerous, and I have to focus,” I said. Clive laughed. The notion of cookie making being perilous struck him as absurd. “I’m not kidding.” He laughed again. I had zero attraction for him, but evidently I was his dream gal. How much kinder and safer it would have been for me if I’d just ripped his attachment away like a stubborn Band-Aid. A few days later, I hear a knock at my door while I’m making rosettes. The process involves boiling hot oil, dipping a star-shaped “branding” iron tool into the batter, and deep-fat frying the crispy treats. I open the door and see Clive. “I told you I’m making cookies and I can’t stop.” “Can I stay for a little while? I’ll leave you alone until you’re done,” he says. “OK, but you’ve got to go into the living room. Seriously. I can’t talk until this is done.” He laughs. I went into my modestly furnished living room and turned on the TV. How I wish I’d had the ovaries to tell him to leave, to say, “I’m not interested in you, Clive. Leave. Now.” But noooooo, I had to be nice no matter what. I go back to the kettle of boiling, melted Crisco, wondering why I didn’t ask him how the hell he found out where I live. Stalking didn’t yet have a name in the mid-’70s. I start dipping another rosette when, suddenly, from behind me, I hear, “Boo!” Startled, I hit the iron handle, which causes the bubbling fat to splash all over my right arm. This instantly cooks the synthetic fabric sleeve of my shirt to my arm, from wrist to elbow. Smelling my own cooked flesh, I scream like a furious jungle cat. Clueless Clive grabs a kitchen towel and attempts to wipe my arm. He chases me as I scream, “Get out! Get out! Leave me alone!” Clive runs, ripped from my side at last. I then pass out. In what I can only describe as a bona fide miracle, Wendy — another friend — also stops by uninvited but very much needed. She’s part of my study group. She knocks, and when I don’t answer, she looks through the windows and sees me sprawled on the floor. Luckily, I hadn’t locked the door when Clive skedaddled. She manages to get me loaded into her Range Rover and drives me to the ER. They cut off my cooked turtleneck, give me a pain killer and send me home. Apparently, quality health care for women also hadn’t yet been invented. When I wake up the next day, my arm is the size of my leg. I am probably still in shock, but somehow I managed to drive my unsafe-at-anyspeed cherry red Corvair down to Loyola to join my finals study group. As I walk into the student lounge, Wendy takes one look at me and drives me to the Sherman Oaks Burn Ward, where I spend the next 10 days, including Christmas, undergoing advanced therapy for third-degree burns. Had this incident happened even 10 years earlier, my right arm would have been so shriveled it would have been difficult to use. Thankfully, I barely have a physical scar. What I do have is an unshakable commitment to teaching boundaries. I don’t blame Clive for my injury. I blame a culture that teaches that a male’s ego is so fragile, females dare not be straightforward with them lest those egos shatter… or worse. Gavin de Becker, author of “The Gift of Fear,” recommends in Chapter 11 — “I Was Trying to Let Him Down Easy” — that we learn to say: “No matter what you may have assumed till now, and no matter for what reason you assumed it, I have no romantic

interest in you whatsoever. I am certain I never will. I expect that, knowing this, you’ll put your attention elsewhere, which I understand, because that’s what I intend to do.” Poor Clive. Poor me. Gavin de Becker wrote the foreword to my book, “Beauty Bites Beast,” because we are both committed to sorting out this gender communication mess. Although Clive was clueless, I was, too. My vagueness kept his hope Ellen Snortland alive, which landed me in the hospital. I have no idea what happened to Clive. I do know he left me alone after that. I do not recommend hospitalization as a rejection technique! Ellen Snortland has written “Consider This…” for a heckuva long time, and she also coaches first-time book authors!

The Bloom is Back: Celebrate education and the success of science

By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

hen the 2021 Tournament of Roses theme was announced in January 2020, it was in a world that was unknowingly on the brink of irrevocable change. Now, days away from the 2022 Tournament of Roses, the theme of “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” has broadened its scope to recognize the new world that exists. Tournament of Roses Association President Bob Miller chose the theme to focus on education. As someone who spent a career as a community college educator, administrator and consultant, he wanted to celebrate the importance of quality public education and its ability to help people experience economic mobility. “Education is the great equalizer,” Miller said. “There is no greater determiner of social and economic mobility than a quality education. (I worked to) provide opportunities for those who have been known as the have-nots. To help bridge the economic and social gap was very important. I spent the past 25 years working toward those goals and making great

progress.” He and his wife, Barbara, came up with “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” “You have a dream. You believe in your ability, and you can achieve anything,” Miller said. “And a quality public education helps to make that happen. It’s the recognition that the single greatest determiner of economic mobility is quality public education. Just to take that a step further, accessible, equitable education is needed for all.” That was the plan, but it morphed after the 2021 parade and game were canceled and Miller continued his presidency into a second year. The theme still spoke to the power of education, but it also became a celebration of all the people who helped society to survive the pandemic. “We took it further because of the pandemic,” Miller said. “It also had to encompass another narrative, and what we quickly landed on was the celebration of science and the scientist, of first responders, doctors and nurses, and health care professionals.”

More than ever, the importance of education, and in particular science education, became an important element on which to focus. “We would not be having a parade or a game or many of the other things if it was not for the science and the scientists’ work to develop our vaccines,” Miller said. “If it wasn’t for those essential workers who sacrificed and cared for us during the worst of the pandemic, we would not have gotten through to this moment as well as we did. Those are the true heroes.” Miller said participants have responded to the theme in myriad ways. He’s proud there are many floats that support literacy, science, first responders and health professionals, making this year’s theme relevant and exciting, he said.

In addition to the floats that focus in on science, scientists, first responders and health care professionals, he said there will be an opening show by LeAnn Rimes, a performance by “American Idol” alumnus Laine Hardy in the middle supported by the Louisiana Tourism Authority, and country star/“Dancing with the Stars” contestant Jimmie Allen closes out the parade. “There’s even a surprise by yours truly at the beginning of the parade,” Miller said. He was thankful that while the theme’s underlying message was education, it was large enough to encompass the expanded focus on science and health. “We are pulling out the stops to really convey to our community and others that not only are we back, but they’re back and everything is going to be OK,” Miller said.

A lifetime of roses boosts educator to lead 2022 tournament

Submitted photo

By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

hen Dr. Robert B. Miller and his then-girlfriend, Barbara, were building floats for the Tournament of Roses parade in 1970, he did not know it was the beginning of a lifelong commitment for both of them. Now, 51 years later, the Millers are the tournament’s first couple, and he’s completing his second year as president and chairman of the board for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. Miller has spent most of his life volunteering for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and is dedicated to it. “It’s an incredibly unique undertaking,” Miller said. “It’s the 133rd parade, 108th Rose Bowl and 103rd court. It is steeped in great tradition, and it is great community engagement. We have been involved with it for this long because it is how we give back to our community, to our country and to our world.” Miller was slated to be the president and board chairman for the 2021 Pasadena Tournament of Roses. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the parade and game’s cancellation, the board amended its bylaws to allow everyone to continue their volunteer roles for another year. Several people have told Miller that it’s a shame the pandemic happened on his watch. Miller is clear about his and the touranament’s priorities while praising what it can offer to a community of people hungry for hope. “You need to keep this in perspective,” Miller said. “When you look at the death and the dying attributed to COVID-19, or the ongoing debilitating illness related to COVID-19 and overlay the financial ruin or great pain many have experienced, you need to remember this is a game and a parade. As we come out of this, we celebrate new beginnings. Every Jan. 1, America’s New Year’s celebration is of new beginnings.” Miller retired two years ago so he could devote himself to the Tournament of Roses. He became a Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association volunteer member in 1984. He was a tournament chair in 2002 and a tournament director in 2017. At various points, he has served on committees like float construction, float entries, post parade and university entertainment. His passion lies in education, as he spent 40 years in the community college arena, holding such jobs as educator, administrator and consultant. He retired as the vice chancellor for finance and resource development for the Los Angeles Community College District, the country’s largest community college district, serving 245,000 students annually through nine colleges. It’s a skill set and dedication that he brings to the Tournament of Roses, with this year’s theme of “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” being tied to education. “Education is the great equalizer,” Miller said. “There is no greater determiner of social and economic mobility than a quality education. (I worked to) provide opportunities for those who have been known as the have nots, to help bridge the economic and social gap. I spent the past 25 years working toward those goals and making great progress.” He said he and Barbara knew from the beginning that their theme would be associated with education. Miller said they have used their time as the first couple to profess the effect of quality education and are pleased to see it expressed through the floats and bands. He highlighted a showstopper parade float by Saluting America’s Band Directors. The animated float stretches more than 60 feet and leads a 300-member band comprised of retired and current school band directors from all 50 states and Mexico. It’s a tribute to music education and is called “We teach music. We teach life.” “Being in a high school band is more than learning how to play an instrument or learning how to march,” Miller said. “It’s developing critical thinking skills, self-discipline, time management, depending on others, being helpful to others — those are all life skills. This particular float is a celebration of music educators and band directors, in particular.” Miller will ride on a fire truck with four generations of his family — Barbara, their two children and their spouses, four grandchildren and his 91-year-old mother. “We’ll be leading the educational pod,” Miller said. “It’s a proud moment for

me and our family.” During Miller’s past two years leading the association, he said the pandemic has broadened their focus and the work that they do. “Our association has increased its level of community engagement,” Miller said. “We have focused on education. We have focused on food insecurity, technology insecurity and increasing our profile in the community to be a significant contributor. Going forward, I see one of the outcomes of the pandemic is to add a third leg of our mission statement, which would be to continue to embrace community engagement and support.” He said they call it their “Better Together” initiative. He enjoys helping people experience the parade for the first time and providing new experiences for them. This is especially true for the young people who participate in the marching bands and may be leaving their community, city or state for the first time. It’s interesting, he said, to give them the chance to open their eyes to the larger world and to grow. During the past 38 years, he said he has clocked 100 to 1,000 hours per year as a volunteer, depending on the assignment. He does so because he’s passionate about service and supporting the Tournament of Roses. “I wanted to do it because I enjoyed it,” Miller said. “I wanted to be of service. I wanted to give back. I wanted to be president to make people happy and make opportunities for those who wouldn’t normally experience our parade.” This year, in particular, he wants the 2022 Tournament of Roses to give hope. “On Jan. 1, you can always count on the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game,” Miller said. “When that warm, comforting, engaging, entertaining, poignant parade will be back, it will signal to the country and the world that everything will be OK. Jan. 1 celebrates new beginnings every year, and we are hoping that we have turned the worst corner of this pandemic thanks to science and scientists and all those people who took care of us. We’re going to be fine. Strength and perseverance are what America is all about and what our community is all about.” 12.23.21 | PASADENA WEEKLY 11

2022 Rose Parade rules and regulations By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

he Rose Parade is one of the most anticipated and beloved annual events in Pasadena. Renowned across the nation as America’s New Year’s Day celebration, the parade draws a crowd of over 700,000 people each year. On the day of a Rose Parade, the Pasadena Fire Department responds to more than twice the number of calls than any other day, typically regarding reports of hypothermia, illegal burning, miscellaneous medical issues, assaults, and alcohol-driven incidents. As the 133rd Rose Parade approaches, the city’s fire and police departments have shared a guide for parade attendees they can safely enjoy the event. For those who wish to brave the cold night air and camp along the parade route on New Year’s Eve, the city has declared that overnight camping is permitted only on the night of Dec. 31. A position on the sidewalk may be maintained along the route beginning at noon, and all campers and property, such as blankets, chairs and personal items, must remain on the curb until 11 p.m. Small, professionally manufactured barbecues elevated at least 1 foot off the ground are allowed on the parade route as long as they are 25 feet from buildings and other combustibles and if a fire extinguisher is readily available. Minors younger than the age of 18 may be on the parade route from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. only if they are supervised by an adult. The departments also recommend attendees eat and drink well, and dress for cold weather. Children and seniors should especially wear extra layers of clothing to avoid hypothermia. To address the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the city recommends that all attendees protect themselves and others by getting fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and the flu. They recommend masks if they are unable to maintain a 6-foot distance from attendees who live outside their household. Parade appearances are prohibited unless the Pasadena Tournament of Roses approved it. No items may be sold along the parade route without a city permit. In addition, fireworks, bonfires, tents, sofas and ladders or any form of scaffolding used as elevation for viewing the parade are prohibited. Any unauthorized vehicle obstructing an emergency travel lane or parked in a restrict-

A temporary flight restriction, including drones, will be in place for the parade and bowl game. All federal drone regulations can be found on the Federal Aviation Administration’s website, faa.gov. Enhanced security measures will be in effect, and Pasadena police officers will be stationed on the parade route to resolve any problem that may arise or remove anyone from the scene who violates the law or disturbs the peace. Police canine teams will also be patrolling Colorado Boulevard. For those attending the parade who may still have any questions regarding the event and personal safety, visit tournamentofroses.com or cityofpasadena.net. The Pasadena Convention and Visitors Bureau will also staff its visitor hotline at 1-877-793-9911 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 28, until Friday, Dec. 31.

133rd Rose Parade WHEN: 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 1 WHERE: Begins at the corner of Green Street and Orange Grove Boulevard. The parade travels north on Orange Grove at a 2.5-mile-per-hour pace and then turns east onto Colorado Boulevard.

LeVar Burton leading the Tournament of Roses parade By Pasadena Weekly Staff

LeVar Burton speaks about his duties as grand marshal of the 133rd Rose Parade.

up with FABLE and now has his first premium book club. Burton, whose MasterClass premiered in June, continues his charitable efforts, as he and Incyte have partnered to advocate for people with myeloproliferative neoplasms to return to their health care providers and seek help and get information. Myeloproliferative neoplasms are a group of diseases in which the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets, according to National Institutes of Health. Burton will ride in the 133rd Rose Parade presented by Honda and join in the pregame celebration of the 108th Rose Bowl Game, both of which are Saturday, Jan. 1.

ctor, director, educator and lifelong children’s literacy advocate LeVar Burton will helm the 133rd Rose Parade as its 2022 grand marshal. For millions of people around the world, the Rose Parade is an iconic New Year’s Day tradition. On Jan. 1, the parade will return to Colorado Boulevard to celebrate the promise and possibilities of a new year. “LeVar Burton perfectly epitomizes this year’s theme,” said Dr. Robert B. Miller, president and chairman of the board for the 2022 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. “The 2022 theme is ‘Dream. Believe. Achieve.’ and celebrates education and the determination of those who travel the path from dream to reality. I am proud to represent the 935 volunteer members in welcoming LeVar to share in the joy of promise and healthy possibilities for a new year.” Burton has entertained generations as former host and executive producer of PBS’ “Reading Rainbow”; starring as Kunta Kinte in the acclaimed television miniseries “Roots”; and as Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge in the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” television series. He has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, along with 27 Daytime Emmy nominations, culminating in 21 wins.

Kaiser Permanente’s 2022 float is themed “A Healthier Future.”

Kaiser Permanente looks forward to ‘a healthier future’

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

aiser Permanente is making good use of the 2022 Tournament of Roses parade theme of “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” by celebrating the dedication and talents of health care heroes who are serving the community during the pandemic. The 75-year-old health care and coverage provider’s float is themed “A Healthier Future.” “It seemed like a no-brainer this year to thank and honor our health care heroes,” said Julie Miller-Phipps, president, Kaiser Permanente Southern California and Hawaii, health plan and hospitals. “This is our 16th year of participating in the Rose Parade. It’s a labor of love for so many people in our organization. With the theme of ‘Dream. Believe. Achieve.,’ we thought we could dovetail off of that with ‘A Healthier Future.’ It’s just so apropos for where we’re at, the challenges that we’ve overcome with COVID, and the challenges that are ahead.” Miller-Phipps understands that the phrase “health care heroes” is frequently bandied about, but she and her staff contend it’s still true — they’re heroes. “People are coming together for a calling in their life and using the expertise for a greater good,” she said. That mantra will come through in the float as well. It features four children who are exploring, imagining and daring to dream about making a difference one day in the world. “It’s funny,” she said. “At a very young age for myself, between ages 5 to 10 years old, I re-

ally discovered that I was super interested in hospitals and health care. “I spent a lot of time in the ER. I was a very hyperactive child. It dovetails off of kids and creating that spark in them to think of what they do when they can grow up and how they can make a difference.” The float carries four scenarios. With the childhood dream of becoming a nurse or doctor, one child is wearing a stethoscope and caring for a Teddy bear. The second reads a book that reflects the researchers who uncover medical advances, such as the COVID-19 vaccination, which Miller-Phipps called “an extraordinary advancement for researchers and unsung heroes.” Another child has a telescope, which honors innovation centers, of which Kaiser Permanente has two. A child in a lab coat with scientific instruments nearby represents future health care workers or professionals. The Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine in Pasadena matriculated its inaugural class of 50 students in July 2020. “We have the second class of students who have started medical school there on the campus who are super excited and working toward being the physicians of the future,” Miller-Phipps said. “It’s a nod to students all over who want to go into health care and make a better world. The float is just a beautiful encapsulation of so many other people who work in health care and devote their life to it.” Joining the cast on the float is Booster the Bear, who serves as a thank-you to the millions of people who received vaccines, she said, adding Kaiser Permanente has administered 3.7 million vaccinations in Southern California. “That’s something to be proud of,” she said. “We want to continue to encourage people to get their boosters and having kids vaccinated when they’re eligible. The float riders are Kaiser Permanente people who are part of our research team — scientists, nurses, doctors, frontline staff — who are acting in the roles of the children on the float. They all started with dreams of wanting to work in health care. This was a chance to do something out of the ordinary that celebrates our profession.” The “out walkers” — those around the float — are front-line heroes who served the community during the last 20 months of the pandemic. “They were chosen to represent not only Kaiser Permanente but all of health care,” she said. “The message I want to show is we come together and create a healthier future. We’re super excited about it. This one has special meaning for us. “They didn’t have the parade last year. For us, to be able to come together and be out and showcasing what I think will be a better world in terms of the pandemic going forward is something that’s going to be fun.” Kaiser Permanente’s past float entries have received numerous awards, including the Wrigley Legacy Award (2020) for most outstanding display of floral presentation, float design and entertainment; the Grand Marshal’s Trophy (2016); Judges’ Special Trophy for the most spectacular in showmanship and dramatic impact (2015); Theme Trophy for excellence in presenting the parade theme (2013); Lathrop K. Leishman Trophy for the most beautiful float entry from a noncommercial sponsor (2014, 2012); Director’s Trophy for most artistic merit in design and floral presentation (2011, 2008, 2006); Extraordinaire Trophy for the “most spectacular” float longer than 55 feet (2010); Tournament Special Trophy for exceptional merit in multiple classifications (2009); and President’s Trophy for most effective floral use and presentation (2007). For the full 16 years, Kaiser Permanente has worked with Fiesta Parade Floats, the most decorated float builder in the Rose Parade, she said. “We’re so proud to be a part of this sort of national world celebration on this stage, to be able to inspire people and give some hope for a better future,” she said. “We’re starting to see a little bit of a creep up with COVID. I hope that doesn’t put us back to where we were last year. “I think we’re going to get a better handle on it as time goes on. The parade is a great way for the world together to celebrate some hope and joy in the future, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Wetzel’s Pretzels’ float, California Cruisin’, shares Wetzel’s fun, light-hearted spirit and cool, SoCal vibes that inspire its fresh take on soft pretzels.

Wetzel’s Pretzels making its Rose Parade debut asadena-based brand Wetzel’s Pretzels will cruise into 2022 onto its inaugural Rose Parade float entry. Through its debut, the hometown brand will celebrate its rich heritage while joining a century-old New Year’s Day tradition. “We’re really excited about it,” said Jennifer Schuler, chief executive officer of Wetzel’s Pretzels. “We’re 27 years old and Pasadena-born. The company was founded here. Our headquarters is in Old Town above the iPic theaters. The float route is right in front of our corporate office.” The brand’s float, California Cruisin’, shares Wetzel’s fun, light-hearted spirit and cool, SoCal vibes that inspire its fresh take on soft pretzels. Combining a classic California road trip and beach party, the float features a custom-painted convertible that’s cruisin’ to the upbeat tunes pulsing from a boom box, with surfboards in tow. Palm trees, “gram-worthy” snacks, and iconic road signs — Route 66 and Pacific Coast Highway’s Route 1 among them — round out the scene. Partnering with Artistic Entertainment Services, the float was constructed using thousands of florals and natural materials in its design. Embodying the Rose Parade’s theme of “Dream. Believe. Achieve.,” the Wetzel’s float represents the ideals of the American Dream and how driven individuals can achieve ambitious, life-changing goals. Starting with a dream of enhancing the snack category in a fresh, fun way, founders Bill Phelps and Rick Wetzel followed their entrepreneurial passion, launching the company in their hometown of Pasadena and opening their first bakery in Redondo Beach in 1994. Success quickly followed, leading to the creation of a fast-growing, in-demand franchise concept. “This year’s float theme really seemed to speak to us as a brand,” she said. “‘Dream. Believe. Achieve.’ is what we do as an organization. It was founded by

entrepreneurs who had a dream. They were first-time entrepreneurs who had this dream of creating a pretzel company. They were able to achieve success.” Phelps and Wetzel started with one; now there are 350 across the United States. Schuler said Wetzel’s Pretzels is a franchise organization, with hundreds of locally owned and operated stores. “The pursuit of the American dream repeats itself time and time again,” she said. “The franchisees say, ‘I have this dream. I want to be a business owner.’ The concept is they can do it, and it’s very rewarding to see that.” In appreciation of the individuals who contribute to the continued success of Wetzel’s Pretzels, the float will feature front-line crew members, general managers, franchise partners and support staff from around the world, along with its founders. Celebrating its parade debut, Wetzel’s plans to share “bitz” of joy with its fans. Guests who enter code “PARADE” in the Wetzel’s app will receive a free pretzel reward to be redeemed in the New Year and will be entered for a chance to win exclusive Wetzel’s Rose Parade merch and free pretzels for a year. Leading up to the main event, Wetzel’s brand ambassadors will offer paradegoers pretzels and custom swag. “Just as the brand delivers handheld happiness to its guests, it aims to spark joy and deliver smiles with paradegoers and television viewers when the rose-adorned float rolls down Colorado Boulevard, only a few steps away from Wetzel’s corporate headquarters,” she said. Schuler said she sees the Rose Parade as a celebration of being together. “Many businesses were tremendously affected, as was ours, in 2020,” she said. “The future seemed so uncertain. This is a bit of a celebration. It is important to celebrate things like masks and vaccinations, the joy of that season and coming back to those traditions.”

eAnn Rimes will kick off the 133rd Rose Parade presented by Honda with a special performance of the remixed and remastered “Throw My Arms Around the World.” It was created especially for the 2022 Rose Parade. Rimes, who first appeared in the Rose Parade in 2006, will be accompanied by the Rose Parade Dancers, the Mark Keppel Dance Company, Rose Parade Flag Bearers and four drummers. The powerful performance will end in fireworks and set the stage for the exciting two-hour parade featuring stunning floral floats, and talented marching bands and equestrian units from across the country. Rimes is an international multiplatinum selling acclaimed singer and ASCAP award-winning songwriter who has sold more than 48 million units globally, won two Grammy Awards; 12 Billboard Music Awards; two World Music Awards; three Academy of Country Music Awards; two Country Music Association Awards and one Dove Award. At 14, Rimes won Best New Artist, making her the youngest recipient to take home a Grammy Award.

Aside from his Rose Parade appearance, country star Jimmie Allen will headline

Jimmie Allen will bring the good times to the parade

ountry singer Jimmie Allen wasn’t raised around college sports, but when he was asked to perform as part of the grand finale of the 133rd Rose Parade, he jumped at the chance. “My band grew up watching college football,” Allen said. “I didn’t know how big the Rose Bowl was. Then, I got into it, and I realized. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” He’ll be in good company. On Saturday, Jan. 1, as the two-hour mark approaches and the final float begins its trip down Colorado Boulevard, four members of the

LeAnn Rimes is expected to release a new album, “God’s Work,” in early 2022.

Golden Knights U.S. Army Parachute team will drop out of the sky and onto the street. They will then toss a football from the parade route to the Rose Bowl Stadium. As they descend, they will be accompanied by Timothy Fletcher, a drummer whose talents went viral via TikTok. Following the landing of the Golden Knights, Allen, the reigning ACM New Male Artist of the Year, will perform his hit song “Good Times Roll,” from his “Bettie James Gold Edition” album, with his band. Joining them will be the Rose Parade Dancers, the Mark Keppel Dance Company and the Rose Parade Flag Bearers. The year 2021 has been a busy one for Allen, the first Black artist to launch a career with two consecutive No. 1 hits off his 2018 debut album, “Mercury Lane.” He’s amassed more than 1 billion on-demand streams. He didn’t release a proper album in 2021 — just an expanded version of his 2020 EP “Bettie James” — but it was a busy year for him. Allen launched his Bettie James imprint through Sony Music Publishing, along with a management and production company, JAB Entertainment; is behind the Netflix series “Titletown High”; published a children’s book; and competed on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” “‘Dancing with the Stars’ was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” Allen said. “I’ve done little — not even B- or C-level — but G-level high school plays where we didn’t really dance. It was like a step here or a step there. That was it.” The opinions of judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough were, at times, brutal and nerve-racking. “The public watching me get judged — especially for something I’m doing for the first time — was especially hard,” he said with a laugh. He didn’t fare poorly, though. He and partner, Emma Slater, were eliminated ninth on Nov. 8. The first episode was Sept. 27. Like Allen’s last year, his talents are wide ranging. Vocally, he showcases his chops on “Bettie James Gold Edition,” which features genre-crossing songs like the Latin-infused “Flavor” featuring Vikina, Pitbull and Teamwork, as well as the tender duet “This is Us” with Noah Cyrus. The project’s moniker pays tribute to his late grandmother, Bettie Snead, and father, James Allen. “I have to keep it fresh,” he said about his genre-bending music. “I don’t want one song to sound like the other on my albums. It was super fun to work with Pitbull, too. Pit’s a cool dude. I talk to him all the time. Pitbull and Armando (Christian Perez, Pitbull’s real name) are two different people. “Armando is a business guy. Pitbull is an entertainer. It’s been great to see both sides of him.” In the new year, Allen is planning new music; a headlining tour, which comes to the Troubadour in West Hollywood on Feb. 3; a second book; and television and film appearances. “I just love entertainment,” he said. “I wanted to do (hosting) just as much as music. For me, growing up, I just wanted to be an entertainer.”

LeAnn Rimes to debut remix of ‘Arms’ at parade

She is celebrating her 25th anniversary as a recording artist, commemorating the release of her debut album, “Blue.” She is set to release her next studio album, “God’s Work,” in early 2022. Passionate about using her voice to help heal the world, Rimes released a chant record in November 2020 called “Chant: The Human & The Holy.” She continues her wellness journey while embodying the Rose Parade theme, “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” with two seasons of her iHeartRadio podcast, Wholly Human. It brings her lifestyle blog, Soul of EverLe, to life and introduces fans to the teachers and wise souls who have made a positive impact on her life. She serves as the inspiration judge on the discovery+ competition series, “Meet Your Makers Showdown,” which started streaming in November.

The 2022 Royal Court shows off tote bags Sycamores gave them filled with mental wellness tools.

Sycamores provides royal support for the Queen and her court t’s not easy to be a teenager these days. Aside from the usual pressures of adolescence, they are coping with a pandemic that has upset their schooling and social life and are enduring the stresses of active shooter drills. Layer on top of that a prestigious position that thrusts one into the public eye and demands more than 100 public appearances between October and January, and there is a recipe for stress and emotional upheaval. It’s why this year the Tournament of Roses has partnered with Sycamores to provide mental wellness services to the Queen’s Court. This year’s Queen’s Court was announced on Oct. 4, 2021, and its members are Queen Nadia Chung of La Cañada High School, Jeannine Briggs of John Marshall Fundamental High School, Abigail Griffith of Pasadena High School, Jaeda Walden of La Cañada High School, Swetha Somasundaram of Arcadia High School, Ava Feldman of South Pasadena High School, and McKenzie Street of Flintridge Sacred Heart. Three years ago, Steve Perry was asked to chair the Queen’s Court Committee for 2021 and, when the event was canceled, he helmed the 2020 group. Knowing his time was coming up, he shadowed a lot of the events in 2019. As he reviewed the wrap-up reports, Perry saw the need for emotional support because of the rigorous program. “The plus for me is that we had a year off and I could act on some of those initiatives that we wanted to try to enhance the experience,” Perry said. “My goal was to make sure that the experience that these seven young women have by being on the Royal Court was beneficial; rewarding; and last, but not least, that they were giving back to the community. I did not want them to feel in any way that this was any kind of beauty pageant.” Sycamores is a mental health and welfare agency with 10 locations throughout Southern California. They’ve provided services for more than 119 years. On the request of the Tournament of Roses staff, Sycamores designed a program to support the court. Marriage and family therapists and clinical social workers volunteered to be paired with court members to give them individual support throughout their reign. “We have a new appreciation for the complexities for the women on the royal court,” said Jana Lord, Sycamores’ senior vice president. “They have 100 engagements they have to participate in from mid-October through the first of the year on top of the stressors and trauma that collectively we have had to face with the pandemic, being out of school and returning to school. All of these young ladies are very high achievers and are applying for colleges while undergoing this experience.”

The counselors and court members meet at least once a month, but provide up to weekly support either in person or using telehealth. They help the young women work on work-life balance and keeping things in perspective. Perry said the young women have been participating in many community activities like homeless and hospital outreach, as well as collecting clothing for battered women and victims of sex trafficking. “These seven young women come from all different backgrounds and are of different ethnicities, and they have bonded tighter than I’ve ever seen with previous royal courts,” Perry said. “It was like they knew each other before. These young women want to give back so much — they truly believe in their community. We want to make sure they are emotionally supported for that. I recognize from being with them daily that serving on the royal court can be a stressful time.” He said the tournament gives them public speaking and etiquette training in preparation for their ambassadorship. The partnership with Sycamores gives them additional life skills that they can carry with them to enhance their self-confidence and develop coping skills. “We couldn’t ask for a better partner than Sycamores,” Perry said. “They give that personalized approach that has been an asset. We were so encouraged that not only did the court want it, but the parents thought it would be a great supportive program.” On the first day the counselors met with the Queen’s Court, they gave them a mental wellness toolkit with a journal, art therapy interventions, and meditation practices. Tournament officials have said the young women appreciate having a counselor without a conflict of interest. “It gives each of the girls some sense of safety in being fully real and to process what they are experiencing,” Lord said. “It’s also been nice to hear from some of our staff that the girls have independently reached out to them — texted them above and beyond their wellness check-ins. The girls have really appreciated this touchstone and that our staff has been an independent body and sounding board to have another human to talk through and process the experience.” They hope that the program is one that will be continued in future years. Lord said that she is impressed with the young ladies and with the Tournament of Roses for listening to the feedback from prior courts about the needed mental wellness support. “The Tournament of Roses really cares about these girls,” Lord said. “This is not just a publicity or a ceremonial task for them. The Tournament of Roses has elicited their feedback, heard what works and been responsive. That they reached out to us is a real positive, particularly in this environment coming out of the pandemic.”

The 2022 Royal Court is, from left, Jeannine Briggs, John Marshall Fundamental High School; Abigail Griffith, Pasadena High School; Nadia Chung, La Cañada High School; Jaeda Walden, La Cañada; Swetha Somasundaram, Arcadia High School; Ava Feldman, South Pasadena High School; and McKenzie Street, Flintridge Sacred Heart.

Nadia Chung crowned 2022 Rose Queen a Cañada High School senior Nadia Chung dreamed of becoming the Rose Queen. For the next year, she’ll lead the Royal Court as she was selected the 2022 Rose Queen. Chung was crowned as the 103rd Rose Queen, with fellow seniors Jeannine Briggs (John Marshall Fundamental High School), Abigail Griffith (Pasadena High School), Jaeda Walden (La Cañada High School), Swetha Somasundaram (Arcadia High School), Ava Feldman (South Pasadena High School) and McKenzie Street (Flintridge Sacred Heart) rounding out the court. “It was always a big dream for me, especially growing up in Pasadena meeting all of the Royal Court when I was younger,” Chung said. Since she was 3, she looked up to the women, calling them role models. “This year’s theme particularly made me want to try out for this Royal Court because ‘Dream. Believe. Achieve.’ is honestly so encompassing of everything that I personally believe in and try to live by,” she said. “Everybody on the court is a real optimist and we are all people that are really positive. The message of this theme made me know that I wanted to try out.” Chung said she was impressed by the professionalism of the young women. “It didn’t feel like a competition,” she said. “As you went through each interview — at least for me — I loved getting to talk to each of the girls that I met. “For instance, I was No. 39 and No. 37 was McKenzie Street, who is on the Royal Court, and No. 34 is Jaeda Walden. As we waited in line for all of our interviews, we got to know each other extremely well and I felt really connected to my city because I was surrounded by inspiring young ladies all around me when I was going through those interviews.”

Each interview lasted roughly 15 seconds. Contestants had to be quick on their feet to present a well thought out answer. Chung worked through the process by “determining what about me is really important to who I am.” “I think the hardest part was having the confidence initially and also trusting myself,” Chung said. She was surprised each time she advanced through the competition. “After my first round, I thought I was out,” Chung said with a laugh. “The second round, I thought I was out, and then most definitely when we were lined up as the 29 finalists, I didn’t think my name was going to be called. “I say, for many of us on the Royal Court, as much as it was surreal, we also took time to realize that everything that we have done and all the people who have supported us have led us up to this moment. That is not just chance or luck but rather intentional selection and that we are here for a reason.” During the crowning ceremony, Chung was not initially aware she was Rose Queen until the announcer started saying her middle name. Her first reaction was shock, then happiness followed by “a lot of gratitude.” “I do feel really grateful to have this opportunity to help represent Pasadena and spread that sort of joy and positivity,” Chung said. “But I also will say I felt happy because I know that the girls on the 2022 Royal Court are going to be my best friends for life.” As the Rose Queen, Chung will immerse herself in the Tournament of Roses organization through volunteerism; develop public speaking and etiquette skills while boosting her self-confidence; and receive a $7,500 scholarship. “We actually have 100 events that we are going to (as the Royal Court) from the day after we were announced up until even after the Rose Parade,” Chung

said. The Royal Court has already attended engagements at Huntington Hospital and USC’s Cancer Center. “I know that we are also going to be going to different elementary schools and talking about reading and literacy since our theme is about celebrating education,” Chung said. She is particularly looking forward to helping the Girl Scouts with its cookie kickoff. “This is my 13th year (as a Girl Scout) and I’m currently finishing up my Gold Award, which is an initiative to help promote voter registration and voter preregistration within youth and to create more civic engagement,” Chung said. “I’ve had a lot of fun with my troop over the years and then these more individual projects have allowed me to find what my specific interests are and how I would like to help my community to become more engaged in politics and using their vote as a way to voice their opinions.” Always learning Chung takes part in a slew of extracurricular activities at La Cañada as she looks forward to graduating next year. “At school, I am currently the president of speech and debate and mock trial,” Chung said. “Those are some of my favorite activities because they gave me a voice and then amplified my voice to give me the confidence to actually learn about things outside of just my own perspective. When I am doing a speech, I get to have the opportunity to listen to other people and listen as much as I’m speaking and in that I have been able to get a lot better perspective of the people in our world and have more empathy.” Chung said throughout high school she met “incredibly inspiring people” who continue to mentor her. Girls in higher grades helped her find success and she hopes to pay it forward. “For college I actually just started my applications and I turned in a few now,” Chung said about her future plans. “It is a really interesting process to be going through. It is definitely not an easy one, but I think what is making me still want to go through this process and what is making me excited is that every application that I turn in I am one step closer to my aspirations in terms of career goals.” Chung hopes to study political science and journalism with the hopes of becoming a civil rights attorney. Embracing the Rose Queen When asked what it meant to her to be Rose Queen, Chung said that “it’s hard to even put into words.” “I think part of it is because the girls that I thought as the Royal Court when I was a little kid, in my mind they were untouchable, unachievable,” Chung said. “I never thought that I would be in that position of becoming that role model that they were to me and people that I looked up to on a daily basis who I knew were beacons of positivity, of happiness, of intelligence, of poise, of serving. “Being in that position now, I feel really honored and grateful but I also feel the responsibility because I want to be a good role model for all of those young kids and also be somebody that helps to uplift Pasadena and really foster and live the them that we are doing this year.” Following the COVID-19 rollercoaster, Chung hopes the Royal Court’s community engagements will show the “the lack of connection that we had (during the pandemic) is not permanent.” “I hope that it can remind us how important it is to be connected and that anybody really can pursue their dreams,” Chung said. “I think during COVID there were people who had to put their dreams on hold, and I know that coming out of it what we need is confidence and a lot of belief in one another in order to know that we still can pursue those dreams.” As tradition, the Royal Court will attend the Rose Parade New Year’s Day and the Rose Bowl game. Chung said she will wear Tadashi Shoji at the events. “Our gowns were actually very generously given to us by Tadashi and so we are all going to be wearing the gowns that we were wearing for coronation day,” she said. “That means that the court will be wearing the midnight blue gorgeous floor length gown and I’ll be wearing the white dress that I wore.” With the appearances, Chung hopes the women’s bond shines through. “I think it is really important to me and for others to know how much the girls and I have really formed a sisterhood and how important we are to each other and how much we love each other.”

During the Beef Bowl, teams enjoy a meal of prime rib, mashed potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire pudding.

During the Beef Bowl, players try their hand at carving prime rib and putting dressing on a spinning bowl salad.

Lawry’s renews its Beef Bowl dinners A

t Lawry’s The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills, the Rose Bowl celebration begins early with the Beef Bowl. Each year, the steakhouse hosts, on different days, the two NCAA college football teams that will compete in the Rose Bowl. This year, Ohio State will dine on Dec. 28, followed by Utah on Dec. 29. The Beef Bowl tradition started with Richard N. Frank, an avid football fan and Lawry’s founder, over 55 years ago. “He grew up in Pasadena and loved going to the Rose Bowl games,” said Ryan Wilson, Frank’s grandson and Lawry’s chief executive officer. “He thought it was a great opportunity to market the restaurant and host the teams. That’s how it began, and he had a relationship, being an influential person in Pasadena, with the tournament. Even to this day, it is still a handshake agreement that goes back many, many years. “He loved college football, period. He was a proud citizen of Pasadena. For him, this was a great opportunity to combine a lot of his passions and his passion for our family business.” The restaurant is welcoming the athletes back to the dining room after a pandemic-driven cancellation last year. Each year, players, families, coaches, staff, school dignitaries, the Rose Bowl court and Tournament of Roses officials visit the restaurant to have a classic Lawry’s meal of unlimited beef, a spinning bowl salad, mashed potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. They have a choice of English trifle or apple pie for dessert. The event has evolved, eliminating the unofficial competition between the teams to see who can eat more. Wilson said the coaches wanted to dissuade overeating right before the big game. For many of the young players, the dinners are a chance to have a nice night out with each other. “It’s about the teams having time together and having a moment of celebration,” Wilson said. “A lot of these players are young men in their late teens and early 20s. For some of them, this is one of the bigger — if not fancier — restaurants they’ve ever been to. For the coaches, it is a piece of their celebration for being a successful team and getting to the Rose Bowl. It’s been built up in the lore of coming to Pasadena to play the football game. You get to come to Lawry’s to the Beef Bowl as well.” With the holidays already packing Lawry’s, the Beef Bowl requires the staff to wait on

the gridiron stars and guests. This year, it’s even more of a challenge due to staffing challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wilson said guests enjoy dining at the restaurant right after the Beef Bowl. “It’s a pretty sought-after reservation coming in after the teams and being able to see some of that pomp and circumstance,” Wilson said. “It’s certainly become part of our holiday celebration.” In previous years, the restaurant has raffled tickets to the dinner and hosted one of the families from Ability First, a nonprofit that serves children and adults with disabilities. Wilson’s great-grandfather helped to start the charity, and the family continues to support it. This year, the restaurant cannot host raffles or special guests because of the pandemic. However, he hopes to resume them in subsequent years. For Wilson’s family, the Beef Bowl is a holiday tradition. The year 2006 was especially memorable because his grandfather was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. Wilson grew up in North California but visited Pasadena every other year for the event. He remembers being in awe of the football players. “Our Beverly Hills restaurant is a big restaurant — over 400 seats, big ceilings,” he said. “It’s quite an experience, in and of itself. And then you pack it full of people, and some of those people are some very large football players. To a young boy, that was a momentous occasion.” Wilson plans to continue the family tradition with his two daughters, though they have not attended due to their young age or COVID-19. The Beef Bowl traditions are rich. The staff wears commemorative pins and mini football souvenirs are given to guests. As part of the Beef Bowl tradition, players pour salad dressing and cut prime rib. “You have these very large football players trying their hand at curving prime rib off of our silver carts,” Wilson said. “It’s just a fun moment to see them out of their element, having a moment of experiencing what we do day in and day out.” Lawry’s will be decorated in holiday décor and the two universities’ flags. Videos will show highlights of the teams’ seasons and the coaches will address the dining room. It gives the players, coaches and staff time to reminisce before the big game. “It’s really a year-end recap and an opportunity for the teams themselves to have a moment of celebration. Once they play the game on New Year’s Day, that’s largely going to be the end of the season,” Wilson said.

A tale of two seasons: Ohio State vs. Utah

By Joe McHugh Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

he Utah Utes and the Ohio State Buckeyes have had two very different — yet similar — seasons. Both teams became accustomed to winning in 2021, as the Buckeyes climbed as high as No. 2 on the AP rankings, and the Utes clinched their first Pac-12 Championship. Now set to square off in the Rose Bowl at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 1, the teams are excited and ready to play. “The guys were so excited to play in such a prestigious bowl game, and with such a great opponent,” Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day said. “I know they were very excited about that and are looking forward to getting to work in this month.” The Buckeyes had a great regular season, aligning with the program’s past. They made it to a bowl game every year, except 2012. In a decade, the Buckeyes have only lost 20 games, with seven of those losses in a single year. Ohio State dominated the 2021 regular season, racking up a record of 10-2, and just missing the Big-10 Championship game. With star players and highly touted draft prospects, the Buckeyes is well prepared for the Rose Bowl. In 2019, Ohio State bested the University of Washington 28-23. This time around, the Buckeyes have a top recruitment class, with seven five-star and 13 four-star recruits. With experience under their collective belt, it will be interesting to see whether Ohio State’s big-name players, primed for a high draft position, will opt out of the game. Star players like wide receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson could protect

themselves from injury and prepare for the NFL Draft this spring by opting out of the Rose Bowl. This could give younger players like Julian Fleming, Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. an exponentially larger role in the Rose Bowl. Utah played well too. Through adversity — including the death of player Aaron Lowe — their success is inspiring. The Utes came out of the gates slow, starting the year off at 1-2, but coach Ken Whittingham dialed in the playbook and exited the season on a 9-1 run. The most convincing wins of their season though, came against Pac-12 powerhouse Oregon, only allowing the Ducks to score 17 points in two games, while putting up 38 points in each game against Oregon. “We have a good track record in bowl games,” said Utah head coach Ken Whittingham. “We have a plan in place and typically our guys do a really good job preparing for a bowl game. I’m going to tell you right now we are going to have to.” Lowe’s death led to the athletes’ strength. Lowe’s mother urged the team to move forward in her son’s name. Her inspiration could be a driving factor to the Utes’ success. After the talk, they tore through the NCAA, leaving talented teams behind on their way to a Pac-12 Championship. “Well, to be honest, I couldn’t be more proud of our team,” Whittingham said. “I can’t say enough for our guys, particularly our leaders and captains and upper classmen, of how they kept things together. The chemistry of this team just kept getting better and better as the season went on.”

A projected image from the surface of Mars is presented in the mission support room.

JPL spearheads Mars exploration ne of the great landmarks of Pasadena since 1936, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory remains at the forefront of space exploration. Recently, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy visited the laboratory to gain an insight into the recent progress made on the surface of Mars by the JPL-built Perseverance rover, which landed within the 28-mile-wise basin of the Jezero Crater on Feb. 18 to learn more about the planet’s past habitability, look for signs of past microbial life, and gather soil and rock samples that will be returned to Earth for further examination. “When we’re looking for signs of ancient microbial life on earth, we look in lake beds,” Perseverance Project Manager Jennifer Trosper explained. During the presentation, images of the planet’s monumental landscape flashed upon the wall before the NASA leaders, joined in the room by a crowd of scientists, journalists, and engineers. “The rocks that we were looking at look exactly like they did when they were deposited three and a half billion years ago, more than three quarters of the way to the birth of the solar system,” said Ken Farley, Perseverance project scientist. “Such rocks do not exist in any significant abundance on Earth. They have been completely destroyed, so if you want to learn about the way a rocky planet like Earth or Mars works in its earliest few billion years, you’re not going to learn all that much from Earth because the rock record is gone. So, in many ways, looking at Mars is a way to look at what early Earth probably looked like. That’s one of the central reasons why we want to sample returns from not only another planet, but a different time period.” The sample caching system is the most complex that NASA’s Mars Exploration Program has sent to the red planet’s surface. By February 2024, 14 tubes of collected samples will fill the first cache at the edge of Jezero Crater. So far, the findings have shown that liquid water once flowed over the planet’s surface and that Mars was a habitable planet nearly three-and-a-half billion years ago. “There is no liquid water on the surface of Mars today. There’s essentially no atmosphere. It is an example of massive climate change from a planet that we believe would’ve been inhabitable to a planet that, at least on a surface, is not. Climate changes, and it can change enormously.” One of NASA’s goals on Mars is prepare for human missions to the red planet. One of the technologies that could further advance this objective is the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, an instrument that extracts oxygen from

the carbon dioxide atmosphere on Mars. “We’ve already demonstrated that this is possible,” Trosper explained. “What that leads you to is a possible future where you can use the carbon dioxide atmosphere to extract oxygen and use that oxygen for astronauts to breathe or for propellant to a launch vehicle that you’ll need to have on the surface of Mars to bring samples and people back.” Along with the unprecedented opportunities provided by the MOXIE instrument, NASA has conducted powered, controlled flights on Mars through the Ingenuity helicopter. “It all boiled down to our first flight, our ‘Wright brothers’ moment, which happened just across the hall in that room when we all first saw and proved that powered flight is possible on Mars,” said Ingenuity Team Lead Teddy Tzanetos. “We hope that, just like Sojourner was the foundation for larger rovers like we have today on Perseverance, that’s going to be the foundation for future aerial exploration on the red planet.” The Ingenuity project has evolved from attempting 30-second, 3-meter flights to longer and more complicated scouting flights to provide an enhanced perspective as well as additional infoarmation to the Perseverance team. “We’ve executed 13 flights in total, covered 2.8 kilometers, and spent 24 minutes aloft in the skies on Mars. We hope that Ingenuity will lead us down a path for the future of aerial exploration, and we can’t wait to see what that future holds for humanity and for NASA.” Through controlled flights in the skies to data collection and imagery on the surface, both Ingenuity and Perseverance have helped scientists back on Earth understand more about the history and geology of Mars than ever before. “Our rovers have evolved, our landing systems have evolved, our people have evolved, and our science has evolved,” Trosper said. “It’s just a fantastic program that has really shown how a group of people working towards a really lofty objective can be successful. And the Mars program is an example of that.” The Jet Propulsion Laboratory will continue to monitor the rover’s progress and analyze the data as it relays back to Earth. Up to date news about the program are available online through the Perseverance rover blog at mars.nasa.gov. “One of the things that I’ve always loved about JPL is the intersection between the science, the engineering, and the operations,” NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy said. “As we talk about going out into the solar system, and especially sending humans on the next step, we all have our eyes on Mars.”

Originally known as the Pasadena Art Institute, the Norton Simon Museum has been a cultural and historical focal point for Pasadena since the original building’s construction in the 1920s.

The Norton Simon Museum unveils historic works from Manet and Picasso By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

came inspired by the work of 17th century Spanish artist Diego Velázquez, particularly two of his paintings that depicted ancient Greek philosophers in the guise of contemporary Spanish beggars, and later returned to Paris to paint his own collection. “When he first exhibits these works in 1867, people are a little confused by them,” Tabot said. “They find them somewhat threatening and poke fun at their details because these men are depicted with these non-descript dark backgrounds. There’re no details to really help you understand what they mean, but I think for Manet it was a way of updating an important historical type for a contemporary moment and drawing attention to displaced people in France. At this moment, there’s a lot of renovation happening in France, and many people can no longer afford to live in the center of the city and are being displaced to the suburbs of Paris. And so Manet is drawing attention to these circumstances, but doing it in this very clever way by making a direct reference to Velázquez.” The installation offers a unique insight into a chaotic time in French history and will be on display until Monday, Feb. 28. “This isn’t a kind of medium that you consume quickly like on an iPhone or any kind of digital format,” Talbot said. “It’s something where the more you look, the more you have a strong experience of an object, so the museum encourages people to spend as much time as they like, even with just a few objects. Every work of art is a gem. It’s a museum where every single gallery has something special to discover, so I really encourage people to come spend time and figure out which is their favorite.”

s the new year approaches, the Norton Simon Museum, an acclaimed landmark of Pasadena home to a Monet-style garden and more than 12,000 objects from around the world, has unveiled an triumvirate of collections. “You can always count on seeing wonderful works of art when you come into our galleries,” said Emily Talbot, the chief curator at the Norton Simon and a specialist in 19th century French art. “We’re a collection that’s particularly rich in European art from the Renaissance through the 20th century and have a wonderful collection of South and Southeast Asian sculptures that spans 2000 years. “We have two temporary exhibitions on view now. One is called ‘Unseen Picasso,’ which features rare and unusual prints by Pablo Picasso, and the other is called ‘The Expressive Body: Memory, Devotion, Desire,’ which is also drawn from our permanent collection and celebrates a really fascinating relationship between the depiction of bodies and works of art and then the self-reflective ways that viewers engage with and sometimes empathize with the depicted form.” “Unseen Picasso” features 16 prints made between the 1930s and 1960s and will be on display until Monday, Jan. 10, while “The Expressive Body” presents a diverse collection of more than 60 artworks made between 1400 and 1750 and will run until Saturday, March 5. Along with these exhibitions, the Norton Simon welcomed a new special installation as a result of the museum’s five-year relationship with the Art Institute of Chicago: Manet’s “Philosophers.” The two mid-19th century paintings “Beggar with Oysters” and “Beggar with a Duffle Coat,” both on loan from the Art Institute of Chicago, have been reunited with the Norton Simon’s “Ragpicker.” It is the first time that Manet’s three philosophers have been shown together in over 55 years. “They’re very imposing when installed together on the same wall. As part of the process of doing research on these works, I learned that they’ve never been installed side by side before,” Talbot said. “Seeing them now in our galleries, I can see why. There’s such a collective power when you see these three works together. If they were installed alongside anything else, they would just blow them out of the water, so it’s been really exciting to have that opportunity to install them together here.” Manet created the art shortly after a life-changing trip to Spain in 1865.

Kwanzaa play celebrates unity, community for all By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

or seven days, celebrants will light candles, share stories and contemplate the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Beginning on Dec. 26, the celebration pulls in traditions from harvest and the African diaspora and emphasizes community and life. The Robey Theatre will contribute to the festival with the unveiling of a new work, “Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Unity.” Like the festival, the play opens on Dec. 26. It is an online production and will have daily Zoom performances until Jan. 1. The Robey commissioned the play, written by Marie Y. Lemelle and Barbara Bullen, after an open submission contest. The playwrights worked with Ben Guillory, the Robey’s artistic director who served as a dramaturge for the work. “Back in 2020, I wanted a holiday play that was other than ‘A Christmas Carol’ or the usual fare and that was more Afro-centric,” Guillory said. “Kwanzaa was the answer to that. We asked for submissions from different playwrights of one scene of an idea for a play.” Several playwrights submitted, but the scene by Lemelle and Bullen stuck out from the others. The Robey commissioned them to turn the scene into a fulllength play to be performed during the 2021 season. They hoped to perform the show live, but with COVID-19 variants still active, the theater decided it could not do so responsibly. Instead, it switched to streaming the play from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, the traditional days of Kwanzaa. The play’s story centers on an American Black studies professor, Dr. Agu. In search of his personal history and ancestral roots, he traveled to Ghana, only to be confined to his hotel as the country goes into an abrupt and total pandemic lockdown. Dr. Agu must then teach his students back home via Zoom. His goal is to offer a more complete version of American history, and he teaches the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa as a blueprint for living a responsible, productive and ethical life. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, the chair of the African Studies at Cal State Long Beach, a response to the over-commercialization of Christmas. Karenga makes bookend appearances in the play, a role undertaken by Guillory. Karenga will make a live appearance as part of a post-show question-and-answer period with the date still to be determined. Dr. Agu’s students in the play include Black students, a young white woman, a Latino, a Chinese American rapper, and a white supremacist nationalist who is skeptical of all that is being taught. Both playwrights have extensive writing experience, but “Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Unity” is the first time either of them has written plays. Lemelle is a journalist, casting director, film producer and screenwriter. She is the CEO and founder of her own firms, Platinum Star Public Relations and Platinum Star Media Group Inc. Bullen is the author of 49 children’s books and 15 screenplays. She is the owner of Andersons Screenplays and Dreamworld Literature. Guillory described the play’s creation as a step procedure. After being chosen based on the initial scene, the playwrights submitted an outline for Guillory to review. They then went back and forth through four drafts. “We were always wanting to move the play forward,” Guillory said. “In this case, moving the play forward meant staying on track to celebrate and identify Kwanzaa and talk about it and the seven principles of Kwanzaa.” He said that while they had a lot of back-and-forth conversation, his job was made easy because the playwrights’ work was impressive. “Their imagination is that of storytellers,” Guillory said. “They had a subject, and the subject is the Kwanzaa principles, which are based in Afro-centric consciousness. These sisters, being African Americans, and Dr. Karenga had a sensibility about Kwanzaa. We had a good guide. The idea was to fashion a story with a beginning, middle and end with a serious conflict that would illustrate how the seven principles of Kwanzaa could support ones who needed support, namely all of us.” The cast is Jermaine Alexander, JC Cadena, Christina Childress, Garret Davis,

Ben Guillory directs and performs in the premiere of “Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Unity.” Matt Jennings, Nate Lovell, Terry “Tes” Scott-Mitchell, Mona Mohamed, Crystal Nix, Amara Phelps, Ke Shi, Kyle Sparks, William Warren, Jess Weaver and Guillory. Guillory has high praise for the 15-member ensemble, who are a mix of veterans and new actors to him. He said they are on board with the play’s themes and recognize the work’s importance. “They recognize that this is a substantive, not a frivolous, work,” Guillory said. “These artists recognized this is important. They dove in with both hands and feet and brought this baby home. It was a delight to work with them.” While this production is virtual, they hope to do a live production of it next December. They are also hoping to reopen their theater on April 9 in celebration of Paul Robeson’s birthday, the artist and civil rights icon for whom the theater is named. “Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Unity” is a play that Guillory said is worthy of the Robey’s consciousness and its mission to develop and produce plays about the global Black experience and to reinterpret Black classics. “This play needs to have that kind of consciousness,” Guillory said. “It also needs to be imaginative and be high theater.” Guillory hopes audiences will have a greater understanding of how history has been edited after they see this play. The play’s protagonist tries to show that the truth has not been reported in an honest way. There has been a battle for the past 40 to 50 years to bring out more of a true picture of our country’s history. “I hope audiences walk away asking questions, searching for more of the truth,” Guillory said.

Kira Ott and Jimmy Murphy invite people to come in from the cold for some Irish holiday music.

Duo reels in an Irish Christmas at iconic coffee bistro By Bridgette M. Redman

eddings can change people’s lives — even 7- or 8-year-old guests. Kira Ott dates her love for Irish music to her aunt’s wedding when she was just a wee lass. The reception featured an Irish band and she’s been told that she wouldn’t leave them alone. “I was very attracted to the music,” said Ott, who now plays Irish music with groups around LA. “Something about it drew me from a young age.” She said her father listened to “Prairie Home Companion” on the radio every Saturday evening. Immediately following that show was “The Thistle and the Shamrock,” which she insisted upon listening to. “That became my radio program and no one was allowed to turn the radio off until it was over,” Ott said. She and long-time musical partner Jimmy Murphy will take their love of Irish music to the Coffee Gallery Backstage as part of “Come in form the Cold: Christmas Carols and Wintery Tunes” at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 23. The bistro’s owner is happy that his business survived the pandemic and has returned to hosting shows — at least for those who are fully vaccinated and masked. “We are like Mardi Gras in New Orleans without the costumes and beads,” said Bob Stane, the Coffee Gallery Backstage owner and impresario. He promises that not only are they charming and professional, but that they are all nice people. For 20 years, the Coffee Gallery Backstage has hosted a variety of acts who all meet Stane’s requirement, “you must be excellent.” While Ott developed an early love for Irish music, it wasn’t until she was 16 that it clicked in her mind that someone from Los Angeles could actually play it. She was studying classical viola, but borrowed a fiddle from someone and the rest, she said, is history. She spent many winters traveling to Donegal, Ireland, to learn the music at the Frankie Kennedy Winter School and then went festival hopping around Ireland for a few summers. She met Murphy as a teenager when he was also a fiddler. Now he joins her on guitar and mandolin. Murphy has performed all over Southern California and as far away as temples in Japan, a country where he spent two years as a contracted musician for Tokyo Disney Sea and then as a member of a band for Universal Studios Japan. Now he is a favorite guitarist for Irish musicians throughout LA.

This will be the first time that the duo has performed at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, but Ott is thrilled to work with Stane. “I cannot praise him highly enough,” Ott said. “He supports musicians, he is on top of everything, he runs a very good venue and is very supportive of performers coming in. I’ve played a lot of venues. A lot of time the focus is on getting the money. Obviously, you want people in the seats and make a living off of it, but Bob’s focus is in getting good music and creating an environment for the audience and musicians that is very friendly, homey and comfortable.” She said the space also has a great feel to it — with most guests sitting at tables with warm lighting. Their concert will feature Irish songs about winter and the holidays. They’ll also slip in some non-winter Irish tunes that are well known and obscure. Songs will include, “The Frost and the Snow,” “The Snowy Path,” “The North Wind,” “The Christmas Polka,” “The Christmas Reel,” “The Wexford Carol” and “The Wren.” She’ll fiddle and sing; Murphy will play guitar and sing and she might even pull out her whistle, which she learned to play after being given one as a gift from her aunt’s trip to Ireland. “Jimmy and I have been playing together for a long time,” Ott said. “He’s one of my best friends and when we play together, we play off each other really well. We have fun and there is a lot of smiling going on. There’s a lot of finding that groove where everything bounces along.” She said Murphy has a wide range of energy that he puts into his backing, always getting creative with his performance. “He can pop up the energy or take it down,” Ott said. “He gets it tight and sneaky and then opens it up. It’s fun. Come to the show and have fun. I guarantee if you’ll come, there will be fun.”

hen Altadena resident Lisa Finnie wrote a “COVID Christmas song” for her daughter in 2020, she believed it would be out of date by this year. But the virus had other plans and, well, as she puts it, “here we are.” After hitting on the idea of illustrating it with a video, she “couldn’t see it any other way” and reached out to writer friend Marty Barrett’s daughter, 17-year-old Tujunga-based artist Marisol Barrett. The creative collaboration between the two women yielded a storybook-style video for “Away From Home for the Holiday” (https://bit.ly/LisaFinnie) that taps into the complex emotions stirred by the season. Finnie’s song is endearing and melancholy, qualities magnified by Barrett’s illustrations for the video: “We stowed away on Santa’s sleigh one cloudy Christmas Eve/ I know it’s hard to believe …/ We disguised ourselves as Santa’s elves and helped to make some toys/ For all the girls and boys to love.” Chronicling how they “held on to hope and good cheer,” Finnie envisions a magical adventure grounded in the realities of the pandemic shutdown, set to a gentle melody that evokes Great American Songbook pop classics as well as the winsome jazz of the Vince Guaraldi Trio’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” soundtrack. “Vince Guaraldi was right there with us,” Finnie said of the recording sessions with guitarists John Groover McDuffie and Dylan Thomas, acoustic bassist Randy Landas and drummer John Palmer. “I asked John Palmer to play those brushes like that theme song. I definitely wanted to capture that melancholy jazz Christmas waltz.” That sweet-yet-sad musical underpinning makes the song feel more immediate as the screen fills with Barrett’s charming images: a mother and child waving at friends

paying drive-by visits, a young girl cradling homegrown tomatoes, relatives talking to each other on a Zoom screen, masks flying on the wings of their elastic bands. “Lisa sent me a list of the lyrics along with a concept of the drawing she’d like to see,” Barrett recalled. “I thought it was cool that she had so many concrete ideas of what would be accompanied with each lyric because I could tell how important this project was to her. … I thought the song definitely reflected my experiences with COVID in that I missed a lot of important events and felt disconnected from my friends despite talking to them online every day. I think everyone can relate to the song a little bit.” Estefania, Finnie’s 4-year-old daughter, has thus far been “largely ambivalent” about the video created with hopes it will become a cherished tradition for her when she’s older. “I think it’s the age,” Finnie said with a laugh. “She’s just now grasping the idea of Christmas and Santa. This is the first year she sat through and really could watch ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.’” She estimates Estefania has seen the video half a dozen times since it was published on YouTube over Thanksgiving weekend: “Now she’s starting to tell me the story, and that’s precious.” The potential for intimidation and communication disconnects usually exists in collaborations cutting across generations and artistic mediums. But according to Barrett, who says she’s previously done “short introductory animations to skits or shows” for friends, it wasn’t an issue. “I don’t think the differences in medium and generation between me and Lisa had any effect on the work we did together — I think it’s always helpful to work with someone younger or older than you at some point to refresh your perspective on your own artistic process,” she observed. “Music serves as pretty good inspiration for me, so listening to Lisa perform in her own medium helped me work with mine as well.” “The experience wasn’t so much ‘I’m working with this young person’ as it was ‘I’m working with this professional who’s being patient with me,’” Finnie said, laughing. “One clear generational difference is the medium, because I wanted it to look like a sketch; illustrations on paper was my vision for this, like a hand-illustrated book. Marisol did all of that sketching on a digital pad so there was some adjustment. She’s an aspiring animator and some slides in the beginning looked like classic Disney cels. … She just rose to that occasion. She took my requests for edits, of which there were many, completely in stride and graciously. (Until the final walk-through), the entire project was done via text and email and phone conversation” in six weeks. Known to radio listeners as the host of KCSN’s “The Dylan Hours” for the past 15 years, Finnie grew up in Pasadena’s Upper Hastings Ranch neighborhood and cherishes memories of her father being a block captain for their street’s annual Christmas light displays and her mother entertaining friends. Finnie, a single mother, says she is donating a portion of proceeds from sales of the song on Bandcamp (https://bit.ly/ FinnieBandcamp) to Five Acres (5acres.org), the nonprofit agency that helped facilitate her adoption of Estefania. Since the happiest memories of her own childhood are Christmas memories (“It was a happy house, lots of cookie making”), she now feels “the pull and the desire to make that true in this house as well.” But for all the joy the holiday season can bestow, it can also be isolating. That’s particularly true for single parents striving to secure a nontraditional family structure on solid ground amid the primary-color shine and noise of tradition-steeped celebrations. Melancholy is embedded in Christmas and its carols, thanks to pre-Christian winter rituals and festivals, and the blue notes in “Away from Home for the Holidays” resonate with gray moods and knotty emotions. “It’s definitely something that goes on under the surface,” Finnie acknowledged with feeling. “Being a parent, single or no — but single, certainly, because I get to be a mom and dad — it’s quite a challenge sometimes to provide the support that my child needs and at the same time keep it together.” All of that was unavoidably complicated by the shutdown and the ongoing pandemic: “That’s really what’s been the challenge for everybody: single people, couples without kids, and families all across the board. How do we acknowledge what’s happening, and how do we keep it from taking away all of our cheer? We are doing the best to make it through the pandemic with our heads up and our hearts full because we are actively doing things to keep ourselves productive and busy.” That informed scenes and subtle details in the video, including equations on a chalkboard that humorously paraphrase Descartes (“Santa thinks = he is”) while addressing the fundamental question of what makes us happy. “If this is where we are together, what is keeping us afloat?” Finnie mused. “Things like love, homegrown tomatoes, socially distanced pop-bys from our friends — we owe so much to our friends for staying in contact with us, it meant so much. This video is really a love letter to those people.” 12.23.21 | PASADENA WEEKLY 37

How the Mexican poinsettia became a holiday symbol By Christopher Nyerges Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

he poinsettia is one of America’s most popular flowering holiday plant. Native to Mexico, the plant is called Flor de la Noche Buena (Flower of the Holy Night), due to its supposed resemblance to the Star of Bethlehem. According to tradition, red poinsettia symbolizes the blood of Christ, and a white poinsettia flower represents His purity. At least as far back as the 14th century in Mexico, the poinsettia was called cuetlaxochitl by the Aztecs. When the stems of this plant are broken, a white sap is exuded. According to historians, this white milky sap was used to create a preparation to reduce fever symptoms. The plant was highly prized in Aztec culture and was also used to create red and purple dyes for clothing and textiles. Montezuma, the last of the Aztec emperors, was so enthralled with this plant that he would have caravans of cuetlaxochitl shipped to the capital city of Teotihuacan because the plants could not grow at the high altitude. The plant is native to Central America, flourishing in an area of Southern Mexico known as Taxco del Alarcon. By around the 17th century, cuetlaxochitl, well established as a decorative plant in Mexico, started to become a part of the Christmas traditions. This part of the journey began in the small town of Taxco de Alarcon, Mexico, where Franciscan monks began using the shrub in their nativity processions. Coincidentally, it is also around this time that the Mexican legend of Pepita and the “Flowers of the Holy Night” began, forever tying the red and green shrub to Christmas folklore. According to Mexican lore, there was a young child, Pepita, who did not have a gift for the baby Jesus at a Christmas Eve service. She was very poor so all she could do was pick a bouquet of weeds to offer. The angels felt compassion for her plight. So, after Pepita set the flowers at the crèche of the nativity on Christmas Eve, the angels transformed the weeds into beautiful red flowers.

Native to Mexico, the plant is called Flor de la Noche Buena (Flower of the Holy Night) due to its supposed resemblance to the Star of Bethlehem. Is the poinsettia poisonous? The poinsettia is a member of the spurge family, a botanical group that contains plants that are toxic if ingested. If someone touches the sap or eats the plant, they can expect a mild, itchy rash. Doctors suggest washing the affected area with soap and water. Apply a cool compress to ease itching. If the sap of a poinsettia plant comes in contact with the eyes, they can become red and irritated as well. If this happens, flush the eyes with water. Reactions to poinsettia plants are more common among people who have latex allergies because it and poinsettia plants share several proteins. Also, if you’re allergic to avocados, bananas, chestnuts, kiwis and passion fruits you might have a greater chance of being allergic to poinsettia plants. In case of a severe reaction, seek prompt medical attention. Ingested poinsettia can lead to a mild stomachache, vomiting or diarrhea. In general, severe symptoms are unlikely. However, if children eat a poinsettia plant, clear and rinse their mouth. Pets, such as dogs, tend not to eat poinsettias, but keep watch, nevertheless.

The namesake of the poinsettia An amateur botanist, Joel Roberts Poinsett (1779-1851), first U.S. ambassador to Mexico, saw the red flowers when visiting the Mexican town of Taxco in the state of Guerrero. Poinsett was so impressed by the beauty of these plants that he sent plants back to South Carolina, where he began propagating the plants and sending them to friends and botanical gardens. Among the recipients of Poinsett’s work was John Bartram of Philadelphia, who in turn gave the plant over to another friend, Robert Buist, a Pennsylvania nurseryman. Buist is believed to be the first person to have sold the plant under its botanical name, euphorbia pulcherrima. Around 1836, the plant become known by its more popular name of “poinsettia,” in recognition of the man who first brought the plant to the United States. Plus, at least for Americans, “poinsettia” was much easier to pronounce than “cuetlaxochitl” (kway-tlash-oh-chee-tul). Congress honored Jel Poinsett by declaring Dec. 12 as National Poinsettia Day which commemorates the date of his death in 1851. The day was meant to honor Poinsett and encourage people to enjoy the plant’s beauty. But the plant’s notoriety increased after Californian Paul Ecke discovered a technique that caused seedlings to branch, resulting in a fuller plant. He began growing the plant in the tens of thousands for the Christmas season. To promote poinsettias as a Christmas plant, he sent the crimson-leaved plants to TV studios across the country, including “The Tonight Show” and Bob Hope’s holiday specials. Today, poinsettias are at least the second most popular Christmas plant and the best-selling potted plant in the United States and Canada. California remains the top U.S. poinsettia-producing state.

Defendants. COMPLAINT FOR: (1) BREACH OF CONTRACT; (2) QUANTUM MERUIT; (3) OPEN BOOK ACCOUNT; (4) ACCOUNT STATED; AND (5) UNJUST ENRICHMENT Plaintiff LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C. HSU ("Plaintiff") alleges (1) breach of contract, (2) quantum meruit, (3) open book account, (4) account stated, and (5) unjust enrichment against 3 defendants as follows: GENERAL ALLEGATIONS 1.

Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that each of the factiously named defendants are legally responsible in some manner for the events and damages alleged in this Complaint under the causes of action stated herein. 4. This action is brought in the correct court because the contract was to be performed here in Los Angeles County, California. 5. Defendant executed a contract ("Contract") with Plaintiff, dated October 7, 2016, for legal services to be rendered by Plaintiff and associates of his law firm in exchange for payment 22 based on a schedule of various hourly rates.

Plaintiff and his associates have performed legal services pursuant to that Contract and have not been paid the outstanding invoice of $44,727.91, which is the sum of $122,285.22 in legal fees minus $69,267.55 awarded to Plaintiff as extraordinary fees by the Probate Court, minus 20 $3,592.01 awarded to Plaintiff as reimbursement of attorney costs by the Probate Court, minus $4,697.75 returned to Plaintiff by Defendant's appellate counsel. Said sum of $44,727.91 is now due, payable and outstanding despite repeated requests for payment of the balance. 13.

Specifically, Plaintiff was able to successfully defend a lawsuit brought against Defendant after 5 performing much more than one-hundred hours of legal work. Most of Plaintiffs arguments were adopted by the jury and the trial court in that case. The few that weren't, were later fully adopted by the appellate court which overturned the erroneous judgment entered by the jury and the trial court against Defendant in that case resulting in a subsequent judgment in favor of Defendant entered by the trial court pursuant to the appellate court's final order. 38. Plaintiff reasonably expected to be compensated for the legal services provided, according to the terms of the Contract. 39. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to compensate Plaintiff for the performance of legal services, according to the terms of the Contract. 40. Thus, Defendant was unjustly enriched, in the amount of approximately $44,727.91, at the expense of Plaintiff. 41. As such, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount of at least $44,727.91, the reasonable value of the services, the precise amount to be determined according to proof at trial. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against the defendants for the following: AS TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION: 1. Compensatory damages in an amount according to proof at trial, but at least $44,727.91; 2. For other general damages according to proof at trial; 3. Costs of suit; and 4. Any other and further relief that the Court considers proper. DATED: May 10,2021 LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C. HSU Roger C. Hsu, Esq. Gurgen Sargsyan, Esq. Attorneys for Plaintiff, LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C.
