My sister Mary said, “I can’t believe Karen said she voted for Trump and would do so again!”

“Why do you expect women to be better than men?”

I asked. I was visiting Rapid City, South Dakota. We were having coffee in Mary’s fascinating living room, which features her unusual collection of Native American tourist kitsch.

“I guess I think that women should know better,” she said. “But they don’t.”

Laughing, I said, “Why do we expect better from women? And on what planet do people unconsciously think that all women should be all anything or believe the same things? Welcome to Planet Implausible!”

That made Mary chuckle.

As a “baby” feminist in my early days, I hunted for examples where women were better than men in formerly male-dominated fields. That’s valuable information for many reasons, primarily as evidence that women and men aren’t inherently one way or another. Today, as our society is finally exploring gender fluidity, many of us are floundering about what gender even means. Rigid gender roles crumble daily. And, just as I collected stories of so-called “superior” women, detractors collected stories of the “downfallen.” Women as individuals are just like everyone else. However, as a group, we must constantly excel to prove we’re just as good. Forget the Double Standard: Let’s look at the triple standards women often face:

• First standard: perfection. (I have a right to be a fallible human being.)

• Second standard: unrealistic standards. (I deserve to be judged by human standards; I am no better and no worse than other women or men.)

• Third standard: above and beyond expectations. (I did not sign up to be a perfect person when I said I’d fight for gender justice.)

This “Triple Standard” is at play constantly in our daily lives and puts unrealistic pressure on women who fight for justice, women in the workplace and government, or any pursuit at all. This pressure comes not only from detractors but also from allies.

During the arduous process of American women winning the vote, Louisa May Alcott, author of “Little Women,” stated this brilliantly: “I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.”

We were all recently reminded of the “How could she?” concept thanks to white women being a crucial part of Drumpf’s 2016 victory, which led to Roe v. Wade being overturned. Am I disgusted? Yes. Do I think those white women represent all white women? No! Do white female Trumpers represent me? No. And white women have as much a right to be idiots as other groups. The Goddess of Idiots is nondiscriminatory; she bestows idiocy on people of all colors, all genders, all religions and all ethnicities. A few reminders:

• There is no Pope of All Women. No encyclicals. No edicts. No pointy hats.

• There isn’t a central handbook on being a woman, just as there isn’t one for men.

• Just like men, women are people first; their gender second.

Mark my words: If the White Christian Nationalists take over, we will

lose our right to vote. There may be death penalties for women who have abortions. (South Carolina Republican lawmakers have already suggested this.) Our LGBTQ loved ones may be imprisoned. No one ever thought Roe v. Wade would be obliterated except for a bunch of us women’s rights advocates. But who listens to us?

Many women have internalized misogyny and vote against their own interests, just as men do. Many women conform their lives around a male-dominated religion, which comes first — everything else is, er… trumped. Many women grow up within a system where they are trained not to trust women, including themselves.

So many women and men expect women to be “better” than they are. Based on what? Cis-hetero white men have the luxury of mostly not having to represent their entire group. The rest of us? Not so much. “Hey, brother, stop it! You’re going to make other white, straight men look bad and set us back for decades!” Said. No. One. EVER! Is Drumpf ruining the future for all straight white men? Hardly.

If we base rights on anything other than being human, we stand to fail repeatedly. Our failures then get used against us, which results in people distancing themselves while making excuses for me or whomever else has failed at being a woman (or any other out-of-power group) rather than simply being a fallible human.

Susan B. Anthony said, “It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we the whole people, who formed the Union. … Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.”

If you base rights on merit, someone has to judge whether that person deserves rights. Who’s going to judge that? One does not earn human rights; we gain them and then fight to maintain them… at least here on Planet Possible.

The saddest list

Editor:

OPINION

I would like to believe that I live in a dog- and cat-loving city, state and country but, according to euthanasia statistics, this appears untrue.

ASPCA reports there are about 1.5 million shelter animals euthanized each year in the United States. PETA puts it at about 3 million. Even though there is a two-decade-old state policy that no adoptable or treatable dog or cat is to be euthanized in California, we are second only to Texas in the number of animals who die in shelters.

According to recent statistics, Riverside County euthanized 680 dogs in November and December of 2022, and 300 more were killed in January of this year. Even though Gov. Gavin Newsom signed bill SB 573, which provided $5 million to end euthanasia of adoptable shelter pets, they are still being killed at an alarming rate. If you are not disturbed by this, no need to read further.

The Nextdoor platform and other social media apps have become great online tools for showing homeless adoptable

pets. Many shelter volunteers and advocates are posting dogs in our local and outlying shelters who are put on euthanasia lists.

At high-kill shelters in Moreno Valley and Apple Valley, there can be 24 dogs on the list at any given time. Many of these unfortunate dogs are young, healthy, friendly, affectionate: exactly the type of dog you would want to join your family.

If a dog has the misfortune of being brought to a high-kill shelter, it may be euthanized solely because of lack of space. A recent example of a dog who shattered our dog-loving hearts was Echo. Echo was a 2-year-old healthy, gentle, playful small white shepherd who ended up at the highkill Downey Shelter. After a few days, he was listed.

Echo was posted on Nextdoor, in the “Dogs of Los Angeles” group, and I was smitten with this lovely dog who had soulful brown eyes and a goofy smile. Photos showed him calm as if waiting for someone to come get him. I did not believe he was in immediate danger of being euthanized because there was interest in him.

But the wait time allowed for a dog on a euthanasia list can be arbitrary. They can be killed for a treatable problem like kennel cough. They can be killed because someone ashamed of bringing their dog to a shelter lies and says the dog bit someone. Echo was killed one day after his euthanasia date expired.

Contrary to popular opinion, most dogs end up at shelters through no fault of their own. People move, divorce, die, develop allergies, cannot afford vet bills, get a cuter puppy or have a baby. Illegal dog breeders dump dogs in shelters they can’t sell. Dogs who belong to the homeless wander away. When elderly dog owners pass away and there is no provision for their dogs and cats, their animals end up in shelters. People buy a dog and don’t understand the breed. Many, many huskies and shepherds are in shelters.

Animal “shelters” are not, in fact, doing a good job of actually sheltering animals. Many volunteers report gross indifference on the part of staff members. They report that at shelters like SEEACA, dogs are not even being walked and spend 24/7 in a cage. When volunteers become whistle blowers, they are no longer welcome.

Short of shelters being taken out of the hands of cities or counties, I believe there are some things we can do to improve the situation. Keep your pets out of shelters by put-

ting ID tags and microchips on them and secure your fences.

Consider adopting a shelter dog rather than purchasing. Check out petfinder.com and adoptapet.com, and visit your local rescues and shelters. Getting a dog or cat from a rescue, like the Lange Foundation or Bubbles Rescue, helps two animals: the one you adopt, and the space created for another.

All rescues are cash strapped. It is expensive to rehab a dog, so please support them. Purchasing dogs perpetuates breeding in a world of pet overpopulation. If you need to rehome your pet, go to home-home.org. Consider fostering. This really saves lives and keeps the rescue groups going. They cannot save dogs if there aren’t enough fosters. If you would like to connect with a rescue that needs fosters, go to hello@ ellahovsepian.net.

If you have spare time, consider volunteering at a shelter so at least the dogs can get walked and dogs and cats can get petted. Most importantly, spay and neuter. We will never work our way out of this problem unless we reduce pet overpopulation. Many shelters offer vouchers for low-fee spay and neutering.

I am glad Gov. Newsom put additional funding in place to help shelter pets. However, I believe that we, as a society, can do more to help save adoptable pets from a sad and very unnecessary fate. Examples include putting programs in place that transport pets from overcrowded shelters to those that have more space.

There are also creative solutions that will not cost any additional funding but will help alleviate some of the overcrowding situations like Sleepover Buddies, iheartdogs. com.

There are resources for low-income pet owners, seniors and disabled that assist with food and veterinary care — laanimalservices.com, pawsla.org, therescuetrain.org.

If you would like to understand the shelter problem in more depth, watch takemehome.tv or go to facebook.com/ takemehomerescue. You can also join Women United for Animal Welfare to get involved on a grassroots level to reform shelters.

On the Nextdoor app, there are newly formed groups called Dogs of Los Angeles, and Dogs of Nextdoor, where the most urgent foster and adoption requests for dogs on euthanasia lists are posted.

Many shelters have Facebook groups, and you can also search petfinder.com to filter the type of pet you are seeking. I am hoping this article will be a small step toward saving shelter pets and make people more aware of this situation. My hope is that the more people know about this reality, the more they will step up to make positive changes for the animals in their community.

Enabling Change

Pasadena Outreach Response Team earns $900K grant

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

The Pasadena Outreach Response Team has received $900,000 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The federal grant was given through congressionally directed spending by Rep. Judy Chu.

Founded as a collaboration between the city’s public health and fire departments as well as Union Station Homeless Services and Huntington Health, the Pasadena Outreach Response Team (PORT) was created to address homelessness, particularly involving sub -

stance abuse and mental health emergencies, throughout the city. The group uses field-based outreach to connect people in need with housing opportunities, substance abuse services and medical care.

“Addressing homelessness is a public health priority,” interim public health director Manuel Carmona said. “The most important factor for success in the PORT model is a commitment to preserving human dignity, which is key to building the trust necessary to connect people experiencing homelessness with the services they need.”

With its street-based approach, PORT focuses on establishing relationships and building trust with the city’s homeless populations, acting as a familiar face and a helping hand. Its team is

comprised of a case manager, public health nurse, firefighter and outreach worker.

With support from the Pasadena Police Department, PORT added a second team in 2021 that has responded to over 550 emergency 911 calls for concerns related to people experiencing homelessness in the city.

The recent grant allocated by Chu will fund new operations, field-based outreach and resources for connecting PORT’s program participants to housing as well as mental health and rehabilitation services.

“PORT has been instrumental in reducing barriers to care for our unhoused population,” Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo said. “On behalf of the city of Pasadena, I would like to thank Con -

gressmember Chu for her commitment to supporting underserved populations in Pasadena.”

Since its inception in 2018, PORT has connected with over 1,500 people experiencing homelessness, enrolled 235 participants in public health programs, supported the transition of 51 seniors and transitional-age youth into subsidized low-income or shared housing, and both scheduled and transported participants to 249 clinical appointments.

“The PORT model highlights the power of collaboration,” Pasadena Fire Chief Chad Augustin said. “This grant will provide PORT the support needed to continue making a difference in the lives of our most vulnerable population.”

ARTS & CULTURE

Hope in Healing

Yi Cheng uses animal-centric art to help others

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

Pasadena resident and nonprofit Able Family founder Yi Cheng learned to draw before he learned to walk. He had always felt a love for the arts, and after the onset of the pandemic, he decided to use his talent to lead a life of service in his local community.

“(As a child,) I didn’t have access to tools because I was very, very little, but I remember accessing my mom’s lipstick and I used all her lipstick to draw on her brand-new furniture,” Cheng recalled with a laugh. “I didn’t miss one single (piece of) furniture to put lipstick on. My mom … she didn’t yell at me or anything. She just started giving me more material … and that’s how I started.”

A native of Shanghai, Cheng went on to attend the Shanghai Theater Academy, one of the premier art universities in China, receive his first commission for a wall display in the Shanghai 2010 Expo and work as a set designer on productions like “Sweeny Todd,” “The Lion King” and “Cats.”

During his studies, Cheng began to develop an interest in film, which led him to become an assistant director on two feature films in Beijing. In 2013, he decided to move to Manhattan to study cinematography at the New York Film Academy.

“It felt extremely scary,” Cheng said. “At that time, my English was terrible. I went to language school. The teacher spent five, six hours just teaching you ‘How are you?’ and the answers for ‘How are you?’ … It was really hard to know if I felt safe there, especially starting something I’ve never known before.

“But I really wanted to know what’s outside of my country instead of (being) stuck in a little box. I wanted to know what I can do to express myself more besides doing design for stages, maybe doing different art, to tell my story in film, but most importantly to meet more people, to learn more and to see different cultures.”

Cheng moved to Los Angeles in 2016, where he studied in UCLA and USC’s film departments before working for Warner Brothers and Disney. He is currently a location manager for the HBO series “The Sympathizer,” starring Robert Downey Jr.

After the spread of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown measures throughout LA, the film industry grinded to a halt.

Stuck in his house, Cheng decided to pick up his old passion for studio art and found an audience through social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Nextdoor.

During the pandemic, one of his mom’s closest friends, a woman who Cheng said treated him like her own child since he was born, committed suicide. His mom’s depression began to worsen as she battled with her mental health, so Cheng bought her a golden doodle named Simba.

“Things changed so much,” Cheng described. “My dad told me, ‘Wow, your mom actually is dancing with Simba.’ That’s never seen before.”

Cheng used a photo of his mom dancing with Simba as inspiration for a new painting, which he shared with his audience. After the artwork received high praise online, Cheng began making portraits of people’s pets, highlighting the animals’ personalities or their connections with their owners. He also created pieces for owners whose pets had passed away so that they could find comfort in his art.

“I started actually at the very, very beginning of last year, and I’ve done hundreds of art for neighbors and their fur friends,” Cheng said.

His work has been shown in several lo-

cal stores like South Pasadena’s Kaldi Coffee & Tea, Pasadena’s Boba ChaCha and Rose City Veterinary Hospital. Cheng also began drawing and painting artwork for animal shelters.

“I didn’t have that much knowledge before that there are so many animals still waiting for a home, so I started doing more art for them … so that people can adopt them,” Cheng explained.

Seeing the impact of his art, Cheng felt inspired to do more than paint and drew. Inspired by the work and story of photographer Scott Gutentag, who holds photo shoots for people with disabilities, Cheng founded Able Family, a nonprofit that connects those with disabilities to animal shelters.

“There are people who cannot bring themselves to shelters,” Cheng explained. “They don’t have access to a lot of animals, and I want to build that platform so they can, either in a nice park or somewhere else, meet the animals and they can play with them. Then they can adopt them right away, and those animals who have been waiting for homes for a long time in shelters, they can find a sweet home. They can help each other.”

According to reports, an estimated 1 in 4 U.S. adults suffers from a diagnosable

mental disorder. Cheng was able to witness firsthand the ways that animals can improve people’s mental health during the pandemic, and his vision is to make these benefits more accessible to people in need while helping shelter animals find a home.

“Animals, they do amazing things,” Cheng said.

His hope for the future is that, if another disaster like COVID-19 hits and mental health is impacted on such a wide scale, nonprofits like Able Family will be able to help people recover. In the near term, since he is new to running a nonprofit, Cheng is seeking a development director and program director so that he can effectively run the organization going forward and extend its reach.

“My dream is that there are more animals that get adopted through Able family … and definitely, definitely help many people with their mental issues,” Cheng said. “We need to help them. There are so many ways to help them, and animals are one of the really amazing ways.”

The Right Time

Author’s new children’s book captures human connection

By Summer Aguirre Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

No matter how different we are, there are aspects of life to which we can all relate. This was something that Pasadena resident Marla Frazee sought to capture in her newest children’s book.

“In Every Life” is a simple yet profound picture book celebrating the moments, experiences, relationships and feelings that we all encounter during our lives. After over two decades of perfecting its content, award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Frazee is excited to finally see the piece come to fruition.

“There were times that I didn’t think it was really ever going to come out,” she said. “It just feels like a miracle that it’s here, that it exists now as a physical object, and it’s in bookstores and children are responding to it. I’m just delighted.”

“In Every Life” invites young readers to embark on a journey full of opportunities for observation, contemplation and conversation about life.

With watercolor-like illustrations and a calming color palette, the picture book features vignettes each capturing a snippet of an individual’s life. The events portrayed — a child’s curious discovery of a rabbit, a family preparing a Thanksgiving turkey, and an elderly couple, one in a hospital gown, sharing an embrace — will resonate with both children and adult readers and spur conversation.

These moments reflect blessings of wonder, mystery, tears and love, lyrically phrased in meticulous hand-lettering at the top of the facing pages.

In between each page of vignettes is a wordless stretch of landscape meant to showcase the enormity of the universe. People are sketched engulfed by vibrant trees, flora, clouds, rain and sunshine of the natural world.

Frazee’s hope is to emphasize the emotions evoked in the vignettes and simultaneously convey how “we’re a smaller part of a bigger thing” through the expansiveness of the landscapes. Through this, she wanted to highlight the threads of existence that connect all humans.

“I hope this book, in a variety of ways, shows that there are certain things that we all have in common no matter who we are. There are certain things that we can say, ‘Yeah, we all feel like that. We all feel that way.’ So I definitely hope that is a takeaway,” Frazee said. “I also hope that there are times in the book where maybe there’s something new that (the child) hasn’t experienced yet.”

Frazee was inspired to write “In Every Life” after attending a service at All Saints Church in Pasadena in 1998, where a Jewish blessing she heard sparked an idea.

“(It) was like a call-and-response — the minister would say one part and then the congregation would say the second half of the phrase,” she said. “As I was listening, I thought, ‘This could be a picture book.’”

For the following 25 years, Frazee reflected upon the possible “sources” that yielded all of the “blessings” — such as the opening line, “In every birth, blessed is the wonder.”

While she wasn’t entirely sure how to approach its creation, Frazee put the book on hold several times due to how “things

have changed over the years” and how some topics may have been deemed “too religious or too adult for children, or too this or too that.”

She tackled the piece again in 2020, inspired by the birth of her first grandchild in addition to the many parts of our lives upended that year.

“I thought, ‘I think this is finally the right time,’” she said. “‘It’s the right time for me, it’s the right time for publishing and it’s the right time for what we’re all going through.’ It just felt right.”

At the tail end of the creation of “In Every Life,” Frazee’s three sons added to the book’s personal meaning by contributing to the work.

Her youngest son helped his mother brainstorm the phrasing and text used in the book, while one of her older sons, a graphic designer, created the stained glass-like type on the front jacket — the design of which is reminiscent of her third son’s stained glass artwork.

“I was really blessed, to use the word in

Ice House Inaugurates New Era

Johnny Buss revamps a Pasadena favorite

By Morgan Owen Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Although Johnny Buss purchased

The Ice House in 2019, the Buss era at the iconic comedy club has officially kicked off with its grand reopening. After several years of renovations, the club is again open for performances, solidifying a childhood dream for the Lakers co-owner.

“I can’t believe it,” Buss said. “It’s strange that growing up watching so much comedy, and my father being such a comedy fan, that I’m actually in a building that some of my heroes performed at (when I was) a child. It feels good to be part of that history — part of the family of comedy.”

Opening a comedy club was something Buss and his father often discussed before he passed away. He said that if his father was alive today, he would have probably been at the Lakers game wondering who was headlining at The Ice House that night, prepared to drop by with his entourage after the game for a good laugh. His father always wanted a club where he could bring his friends and enjoy himself, Buss said.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the club’s staff were buzzing with excitement as they prepared to open with Gabriel Iglesias as the headliner. Tickets were sold out for the show, reflecting the excitement the community has felt at the club’s reopening.

“Thank you on behalf of future, past and current residents of Pasadena for bringing The Ice House back to Pasadena in such an elegant, historic and memorable way,” Mayor Victor Gordo said. “If you are a current resident of Pasadena that hasn’t had the opportunity to fall in love with The Ice House, you (surely will.)”

Buss said most of the local businesses around The Ice House stopped in to congratulate him on the grand reopening. “Everybody takes possession of The Ice House in a way. They are just happy it’s going to still be around for another 60 years.”

Now that the renovations are done, Buss said he feels a sense of relief. He said he is confident he has done the right thing in renovating the Pasadena icon and that the support he has gotten from the community and the city is overwhelming.

It’s odd, he explained, having comics thanking him for the work he has done.

“It’s almost like having LeBron James saying thank you for having the Lakers,” he said. So having that feedback, having comics thank him for what he is doing for their craft, is the best compliment he could have

received, he described.

The Ice House is the oldest club in the country. It has been open for 61 years and counting. It is beloved by comics and comedy enthusiasts alike. Prominent headlines from over the years include Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, David Letterman and Steve Martin. Like performing at the Magic Castle is a rite of passage for magicians, performing at The Ice House has become a defining moment in the career of a comic.

The author describes “In Every Life” as a love letter to the Pasadena community, which she has called home since 1986. Her experience in book publishing is rooted in her upbringing and education in the Southern California area.

After graduating from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration — and a short stint at Disney Studios — she decid-

Since then, she has garnered over 30 years of experience, published approximately 37 texts for children and was twice awarded the prestigious Caldecott honors for American children’s books. Some of her most notable creations include the source material for “The Boss Baby” and illustrations for “It Takes a Village” by Hillary Clinton.

Many of Frazee’s works are picture books like “In Every Life,” of which she is

“(At picture book age), right before you really learn how to read words, you understand so much about what pictures are saying,” Frazee said. “I remember just being lost in picture books and picture stories and having them speak to me. You don’t need to be taught how to do that, that’s just something children know how to do. They can read pictures and they’re really good at it.”

Because children are so skilled at reading pictures, Frazee said that they keep her on her toes. She has to be cognizant of whether a drawing might confuse them or evoke an

component of Buss’ renovation plan. Everything was intentional, Buss explained. He wanted to modernize but keep the same feel and style of The Ice House that everyone cherished so much.

“I’m very involved in the menu, cocktails, in our seats,” Buss said. “Everything that you see here, I had something to do with at some point. What’s made me proud is that even if I walked away right now, whoever I gave this to would appreciate me through the work (I put into the club). That’s what makes me feel good.”

Despite the challenge, the author feels honored to draw stories for young audiences.

“This is something I’ve always wanted to do,” she said. “And I feel really lucky to be able to do it.”

Doing Their Part

Precise Junk Removal stresses the importance of recycling

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Angel Urias learned everything he knows from his father Carlos. He has parlayed that into Precise Junk Removal, which he acquired from Carlos.

“He started it with a small pickup truck and was just helping people out,” Urias said.

Pasadena-based Precise Junk Removal has since expanded, covering the entire San Gabriel Valley, offering cleanouts, light demolition, moving, tree trimming, general junk removal and gardening. Crews can help with spring cleaning, too. Prices start at $50. The trucks are 14 feet long by 8 feet high and 8 feet wide.

“We try to give it away to someone who needs it or donate it to Goodwill, the Salvation Army or Habitat for Humanity.”

Angel Urias

“We go to people’s houses and clients’ houses and pick up their unwanted items,” Urias said. “Wherever the junk may be — their garage, their car, their backyard, their home, their basements or attics — we’ll be there. We clean commercial buildings as well.”

The crews work for contractors, who need that convenient service as well. Perhaps they don’t have a large truck or the access is limited. If so, Precise Junk

Removal can take on the work.

“We also work with seniors who are unable to pick up heavy items,” Urias added. “For Realtors who need to get houses sold, we’ll clean out the place and make it look nice as well.”

All of the work is done in an environmentally friendly manner. The crews recycle the materials or resell/donate them, depending on the condition.

“We try to give it away to someone

who needs it or donate it to Goodwill, the Salvation Army or Habitat for Humanity,” Urias said.

“We try to keep items out of the landfill. The landfill is filling up. Many people have never been to landfills. There is junk stacking up. We try to help as much as we can. We recycle scrap metal so we don’t have to make new stuff. We recycle plastic, considering all the plastic concerns we have with the ocean.

Absolute Würst

Adam Gertler finds local inspiration for new sausage series

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

In a flash of culinary creativity and playful innovation, Pasadena’s Dog Haus recently launched its “Absolute Würst Sausage Series,” introducing one unique small-batch sausage to its chains each month.

The concept is spearheaded by TV personality and Dog Haus Würstmacher Adam Gertler, who has been tasked by cofounding partner Hagop Giragossian to turn different food items, like Nashville hot chicken or pizza, into craft sausages in a new YouTube series “How the Sausage is Made.”

“I’ve been with Dog Haus for about 10 years now. … This year is the first year that I really get to put the pedal to the metal,” Gertler said. “To have something fresh and new … it just makes it exciting, and it shows that they have a lot of confidence in me to trust me to come up with these recipes and put them out there.”

After Gertler finds inspiration for his next sausage by visiting local restaurants, he must create a recipe, get the ingredients, produce sample batches and present them to Giragossian, who will deem if they are worthy of the Dog Haus menu each month. The YouTube videos detail Gertler’s inspiration and process as fans watch him enter the test kitchen and create each item with the help of video producer Alex Barbarian.

“Alex and I get to banter back and forth; he gets to ask questions as someone who’s not a chef,” Gertler described. “He’s really funny on camera, too. The dynamic is great

Dog Haus Würstmacher Adam Gertler moved to LA in 2002 as an actor before deciding to pursue his passion for food. He has been a contestant on “Food Network Star” and hosted the Food Network primetime series “Will Work for Food” and “Kid in a Candy Store.”

because I default into the presenter host mode, and he cuts me out of it sometimes. And I really like that.”

In their first video, Gertler made a Nashville hot chicken sausage that combined skin-on chicken thighs with Dog Haus’ signature hot spice blend. The creation can also be served “Würst Way” with dill pickles and miso ranch on grilled King’s Hawaiian rolls.

“(The series is) allowing us to expand beyond just pork,” Gertler said. “We did the Nashville chicken without a casing of any kind, so anybody that had a diet that keeps them from having pork can enjoy that.”

Similarly, Gertler’s current creation, the corned beef and cabbage sausage, uses a sheep casing.

“If you like a classic butcher-style hot dog with a natural snap, this reminds you of that,” he described. “It’s got the surprise of chunks of cabbage inside, and that is just so delicious. I really love this one that we’re doing now.”

His ideas for upcoming sausages include pizza in April, al pastor in May, Korean BBQ beef in June, macaroni and cheese in July, beef and broccoli in August, chicken tikka masala in September, “Octoberwurst” in October, turkey dinner in November and prime rib French onion soup in

December.

Gertler explained that the common thread connecting all his sausages is the balance between the new ingredients while maintaining the elements of a classic German sausage.

“(It’s) the snap that you get when you properly emulsify the meat and you get the kind of bounciness that you get in a good hot dog or a good brat,” he said. “A lot of them have a tremendous amount of moisture or fat or acid, which could affect how the protein is. If we’re putting cheese in, how much cheese can you put in so that it’s still holding together as a sausage? I just don’t want a goopy mess that tastes like a thing. It still has to play like a great sausage. … I want it to have really good texture and be recognizable.”

After the release of the new sausage concepts, each Dog Haus location will receive approximately 200 links. Gertler’s hope for the series is that fans will reach out and comment on the YouTube videos with their reactions and ideas for future creations.

“I want to get comments that determine what next year’s sausage series will be,” Gertler said. “We haven’t planned what the sausage series will be in 2024, and I want to take it from people who have watched the show and (say,) ‘Hey, this idea came to us from this person who left this comment and we’re going to do it.’

“I would love to make it interactive so people can be like, ‘I had this idea and they actually did it, and there’s the potential that they’ll get to go to a restaurant and try it.’ … This is something I’m really excited about.”

Fundraiser for Bubbles

Dog Rescue set for April 15

Special to Pasadena Weekly

Dog lovers are invited to spend the evening of Saturday, April 15, dining and dancing while raising funds for Bubbles Dog Rescue.

The event will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. in the club room of the Golden Oaks Apartments, 1000 El Centro Street, South Pasadena.

Dinner (vegan or chicken), a DJ for dancing, a silent auction and a cash bar will be featured. Tickets are $55. Party attire is requested. Parking is available on city streets.

Sisters Isabelle and Inna Kreydin, born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and their friend, Sienna Monnier, created Bubbles Dog Rescue in March 2022 on Los Angeles’ west side. Their goal was to find more homes for dogs. They were concerned about the high euthanization rates in overcrowded animal shelters.

The all-volunteer nonprofit organization raises money to care for the canines and find them temporary or permanent homes. In one year, they have saved 300 dogs and found homes for nearly 150, according to the founders.

The organization is named for Bubbles,

a dog they could not save.

The fledgling group has wide community support with more than 6,000 followers on Instagram.

Robin Ortega, manager of South Pasadena’s Golden Oaks apartment building and her husband, Mike, have fostered dogs for several years. A number have been placed in permanent homes.

She said that the need has increased just from the number of requests that she receives from Bubbles’ staff to transport and foster the animals. “People are returning to work with the pandemic ending,” she said, “and the costs of owning a pet have gone up.”

As a result, the number of pets in shelters has soared.

“A couple of dogs that just touched my heart were euthanized recently because there were no fosters available and not enough money to support them,” she said.

“I felt that I had to do more to raise awareness of this tragedy while also helping this rescue group, which I love for many reasons.”

“Bubbles pulls dogs from all shelters, but their main focus is high-kill shelters,” she said.

Uplifting Communities

Assistance League changes the lives of adults, children

By Morgan Owen Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Assistance League of Pasadena has provided 2,500 low-income students with clothes and school supplies.

More than 3,500 children have new huggable bears to comfort them when times are tough, and 140 seniors have been able to showcase and sell their crafts for supplemental income. That is the work Assistance League of Pasadena accomplished during 2022.

Assistance League of Pasadena is one of 120 Assistance Leagues nationwide that work to change the lives of children and adults through community programs. Assistance League of Pasadena’s president, Ursula Hyman, said even though they have a high impact on the community, it still seems like they are the best-kept secret in Pasadena.

The group has been hard at work in Pasadena since 1936. Today, the volunteer-run nonprofit provides philanthropic services to the community through programs like Operation School Bell, Bear Hugs, assault survivor kits, and school supplies for success.

“We’ve been clothing children in Pasadena since 1941,” Hyman said. “(Operation School Bell) is our largest program, the program we spend the most money on.”

Before the pandemic, Operation School Bell looked very different from how it does in 2023. Back then, Pasadena Unified School District would work with Assistance League of Pasadena to bus low-income students to their thrift store for a fashion field trip. The student would then be sent home with a nearly complete wardrobe and a voucher to purchase a pair of shoes.

Post-pandemic, Hyman said schools are reluctant to let the kids miss class time. Instead, the schools work with the Assistance League by having parents fill out forms with their children’s sizes and preferences. Their volunteers then use those forms to put together a backpack full of the clothing items the children need.

While she misses the personal interaction with the kids, Hyman said it is probably better that they no longer take a field trip to receive their supplies. That way, they aren’t singled out for bullying because of their circumstances at home.

“We hear from the community about families weeping (from relief) when they receive the clothing. … I dealt with a family last year who called us directly because they were starting school the next day,” Hyman said as she recounted the story.

“I know you do this through the schools, but I have no clothes to put my children in. If they don’t (get clothes), they won’t go to school,’” the mother told Hyman, who told the mother to come to Assistance League of Pasadena’s headquarters straight away.

“I met with her, and she was just crying as we tried on some clothes for her kids. … It was heartwarming to see. It really makes a difference for some families, especially this year with inflation.”

Hyman said that even though there are fewer children in Pasadena schools now than in 2019, the number of families who need assistance has increased. Last year, people requested services from ALP 41% more times than in previous years. In 2023, Hyman says she expects that number to grow another 10% to 15%.

Because of the increased demand, Hyman said ALP is looking at ways to expand its services. As part of the Operation School Bell Program, the league also puts together school supply kits for all grade levels and has considered expanding its clothing services to middle schools.

Every Assistance League throughout the nation has an Operation School Bell Program. But Hyman highlighted what Assistance League of Pasadena has done that’s unique to this community. In particular, the Bear Hugs program has seen a 91% increase since 2021.

Through the Bear Hugs program, Assistance League of Pasadena distributes stuffed bears to neglected, abused or traumatized children. The organization ensures that first responders, foster facilities, hospitals and even dentist offices are all supplied with teddy bears they can give to children in need.

“Last year, we distributed over 3,500 bears, and I expect this year it’ll be closer to 5,000,” Hyman said. “While it’s tragic that so many bears are needed, we’re really glad we’re able to get them into the hands of children who need them.”

The stuffed bears can be instrumental in helping children endure stressful situations, Hyman said.

One mother told a volunteer that the bear helped her son get through a traumatic doctor’s appointment to fix a broken arm. Hyman also recalled feedback from dentists, who said the stuffed animals have helped children who haven’t had their teeth cleaned in years get through a cavity filling or root canal.

Out of Bear Hugs grew Assistance League of Pasadena’s assault survivor kit program. Many people who go to the hospital or police station to provide a rape kit have their clothes confiscated as evidence. Assistance League of Pasadena’s assault survivor kits come with a change of clothes, underwear, and a bag stocked with hygiene products, so those who seek justice don’t have to leave in a pair of scrubs.

Assistance League of Pasadena’s collaboration with nonprofits and nearby Assistance Leagues make it possible to provide its services. One such organization is the Assistance League of Flintridge, which helps Assistance League of Pasadena by providing backpacks and hygiene kits for their Operation School

Bell program.

“I think the biggest lesson we learned is that we can reach far more people through affiliations,” Hyman said. “I started meeting with all the Assistance Leagues — the one in Flintridge, the one in Arcadia, and the one in Glendale. No one had ever come together before. … (We began to) explore where we could be of more help to one another.”

Hyman has worked hard to move Assistance League of Pasadena into the 21st century, something COVID-19 helped with. Because she wasn’t bound by the mentality of “this is how we’ve always done it,” she said she has been successful in transforming the organization to work more efficiently in a post-COVID-19 world.

The group’s funding comes from three main sources: the Treasure Fair Thrift Shop, its annual appeal, and grants. From 2021 through 2022, Assistance League members and community individuals contributed $77,000 through their annual appeal.

In addition, Assistance League of Pasadena accepted $38,000 in funding from the Albertson Company Foundation, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, the Pasadena Host Lions Club Memorial Trust, the Green Foundation and the Jameson Foundation. They also received a $50,000 one-time grant to develop a new educational program.

Most of their funds come from their Treasure Fair Thrift Shop, which produced net sales of $140,000 from 2021 to 2022. The thrift shop is staffed entirely by volunteers who stock and work the shop 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday. Hyman said she feels the store is not only a great source of revenue but that their affordable prices also allow struggling families in Pasadena to find

quality household goods and clothes.

Assistance League Pasadena also provides a second way consumers can help fund their philanthropy, the Craft Fair Gift Shop. This offshoot of Assistance League of Pasadena is a way for seniors to sell handmade crafts for supplemental income. Available at the shop are knit baby clothes, blankets, sweaters and bootees, floral wreaths, hand-painted pottery and jewelry.

All items are handcrafted by men and women over the age of 50. While Assistance League of Pasadena keeps 25% of the sales price, the craft fair was able to return over $51,000 to 140 exhibitors. Beyond the money, Hyman said that the craft fair helps give seniors in the community a sense of purpose.

From infants to seniors, Assistance League of Pasadena is ready and waiting to help its community thrive. While things had to change with the pandemic, they have only become more efficient and impactful than ever before. Anyone can donate, and anyone can volunteer.

Hyman wants her members and the community to know that “it’s OK to ask for help. And it is OK to turn around and say to your friends, ‘I need a donation.’ … Write a short note to a good friend of yours. What’s the worst that can happen? They say no. What’s the best that can happen? They send a check.”

Preserving History

Tommy Lei tells stories through photos, home renovations

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Tommy Lei calls himself a “creative soul.”

Whether he’s photographing his travels or renovating a home, he has what’s best for the subject at hand.

This chapter of his life started during the pandemic, when he discovered a “really deep love for interiors” with his first home.

“I believe in having a house you can call a home,” Lei said.

“Just from personal experience, I really love it when I walk inside a house and let the house do the talking. I never try to force something that doesn’t work in a home.”

He said it’s unfortunate that so many homes are quickly flipped in Los Angeles, as the house’s soul gets lost in the process. When he purchased his Spanish revival colonial in Pasadena, he absorbed the personality of the home.

“Again, I let the house speak to me,” he said. “I think that’s a big part of my interior design philosophy.”

Lei carefully choses the homes he renovates. He accepts personal referrals but isn’t actively looking for new clients.

“I want a project to speak to me,” Lei said. “I’m definitely open to renovating projects that are more on the preservation side or the side of refreshing a home, decorating homes that are in need of a seasonal refreshment.”

Involvement runs deep

His involvement with the arts runs deep. Also during the pandemic, he saw a lack of respect for artists of Asian American and Pacific Islanders heritage.

He co-founded the Golden 8ours, a modern AAPI artist collective, to spotlight emerging Asian American talent or other artists who shy away from self-promotion.

“It’s important to pay it forward, and I think that can happen in any community,” he said. “It’s most important in the community that’s hugely underrepresented when it comes to art.

“As much as I love all of our pedigreed artists, like Basquiat and Andy Warhol, I believe in supporting living artists and their livelihood. I push my people to look around their local neighborhood, city or gallery and support a local artist who needs the exposure. It’s just so important to support your artist friends and living artists.”

He considers himself an artist as well. An avid traveler, Lei hoarded decades’ worth of photos from his trips. He couldn’t peruse artwork during the pandemic, so he — albeit quietly and shyly — decorated his home with his photos. That generated interest on his social media platforms.

“My audience asked if they could purchase prints,” Lei recalled. “I started using

my own space as a way of showcasing my photographs. I had perceived my decadeslong photography hobby as just a hobby. I didn’t see it as anything beyond that.”

While renovating his first home, he took his collection and blended it with works from other artists whose work he’s collected over the years.

“It was a cool way of creating a gallery wall that spoke to me on a personal and artistic level,” he said. “To see my own work mixed in with other people, it made the space so much more personal in that sense.”

From that point on, he promoted his work and exhibited in galleries including those in Brooklyn, Minneapolis and LA’s Chinatown, where he grew up.

“I feel like (the public) views Asian Americans as doctors, engineers and lawyers,” he said. “They never quite see us as artists. That’s become my personal mission — to really lift up our artists in our communities.”

Global citizen

Lei is a global citizen, someone who doesn’t stick with the touristy spots. He partakes in activities that take him out of his comfort zone.

The destination doesn’t have to be anywhere flashy either. Lei recently returned from Ohio and Pennsylvania, where he took in the architecture and the history.

“My next trip, I hope, is going to take me back to Asia for a little bit,” he said. “I have not been back since 2019, and that was the biggest trip I had out there. I want to go back to my homeland of Hong Kong. I really do miss it.

“I’d love to go back to Santa Fe sometime this year but explore outside of the immediate city. I’d go to Taos and explore the wilderness a little bit. I’m also hoping to journey out to Japan. Asia — or anywhere that calls me, really — would be a big focus of mine this year. I was approached about doing a trip to South Africa. I’m looking into that as well.”

The key to his trips, photography and home renovations is the story and preserving it.

“I’m never that photographer who shoots in your face or who makes you pose in a certain way,” he said. “I find it uncomfortable, just as a bystander. I try to photograph people in their element, their best light, their natural state. I want to tell the stories around me no matter what I do. I love that act of preservation, solidifying that moment in time that you can never truly go back to.”

Tommy Lei hopes to combat a lack of respect for artists of Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage.

Prince Jin is running out of time. He must find a monster companion before his 13th birthday or lose the throne completely.

7 p.m. Tuesday, April 25

July 1346. Ten men land on the beaches of Normandy. They call themselves the Essex Dogs: an unruly platoon of archers and menat-arms led by a battle-scarred captain whose best days are behind him. The fight for the throne of the largest kingdom in Western Europe has begun.

Heading ever deeper into enemy territory toward Crécy, this band of brothers knows they are off to fight a battle that will forge nations, and shape the very fabric of human lives. But first they must survive a bloody war in which rules are abandoned and chivalry itself is slaughtered.

Rooted in historical accuracy and told through an unforgettable cast, Essex Dogs delivers the stark reality of medieval war on the ground — and shines a light on the fighters

and ordinary people caught in the storm.

Victoria Ying discusses “Hungry Ghost”

6 p.m. Wednesday, April 26

This young adult graphic novel looks at eating disorders, family dynamics and, ultimately, a journey to self-love.

But when tragedy strikes, Val finds herself taking a good, hard look at her priorities, her choices and her body. The path to happiness may lead her away from her hometown and her mother’s toxic projections — but first she will have to find the strength to seek help.

Vroman’s welcomes Jeff Smith’s “Dawn of Man Tour”

7 p.m. Thursday, April 27

New York Times bestselling author Jeff Smith and his publishing house, Cartoon Books, embark on their first national tour in years in support of Smith’s new critically acclaimed series: “Tuki.”

Set 2 million years ago, when multiple species of hominids existed at the same time, this hand-drawn story follows the misadventures of a small band of early humans who controlled fire in an epoch when gods and giants were real and fire was taboo.

Vroman’s presents Maggie Smith, in conversation with Jennifer Pastiloff, discusses “You Could Make This Beautiful: A Memoir”

7 p.m. Friday, April 28

In her memoir, “You Could Make This Place Beautiful,” poet Maggie Smith explores the disintegration of her marriage and her renewed commitment to herself in lyrical vignettes that shine, hard and clear as jewels.

The book begins with one woman’s personal, particular heartbreak, but its circles widen into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, traditional gender roles, and the power dynamics that persist even in many progressive homes. With the spirit of self-inquiry and empathy she’s known for, Smith interweaves snapshots of a life with meditations on secrets, anger, forgiveness and narrative itself. The power of these pieces is cumulative: Page after page, they build into a larger interrogation of family, work and patriarchy. This is a ticketed event. Tickets include one entry and one hardcover copy of “You Could Make This Beautiful.” Questions? Email Vroman’s at email@ vromansbookstore.com. Tickets are available on eventbrite.com.
