SHE LOVED US ALL 

This was the eulogy I 

gave at Gina Zamparelli’s 

funeral on June 16, 2018. 

Hello. My name is Tracy 

Wallace and I was Gina 

Zamparelli’s friend for 32 

years. 

In 1986, I had a store 

called L’Attitude that was 

on Holly Street in Old 

Pasadena, directly across 

from the back of Perkins 

Palace. I met Gina when 

she walked into my store 

one day. She looked at me and said, “You have great hair” 

and I replied, “YOU have great hair” and the rest is history. 

She had come by to gain support for Perkins Palace, 

and in the process she literally changed my life. She was 

my friend, my sister, my partner in crime. She taught me 

all about rockers, musicians, the metal scene, hugging 

people, caring about people, being compassionate, having 

passion for the things you love, fighting for the things you 

care about, and just being a good friend. Gina was one of 

a handful of people on this Earth who knew me so well, 

knew how I really felt about things, those dark secrets that 

you don’t usually share with anyone. And we could talk 

about anything with each other. I truly did think of her as 

my sister, all these years. I’m an only child, which means I 

get to pick my family, and Gina was my first true sister. 

We had so much fun together over the years … there 

are so many memories. Like the times we would both be 

dieting and we would go 

to the supermarket and 

walk around to stare at 

food. One of the highlights 

would be smelling the 

loaves of bread. Or the early 

afternoon talks we would 

have catching up after a 

night of going out the night 

before, either together or 

separately, debriefing on the 

parties or the dates. Walking 

through a San Fernando 

Valley house one time in the 

wee hours of the morning, 

only to find Axl Rose sitting 

there alone before we were 

escorted away. Or the fun 

times when she was managing 

Perkins Palace. Being 

at the shows, seeing Guns 

N’ Roses, Toto, LA Guns, 

David Lee Roth, the list 

goes on. And spending time 

at FM Station in North Hollywood 

(sort of our second 

home in the ’80s and ’90s), 

seeing people she knew, and 

meeting new ones. 

Later on, after I met my 

husband and we both got 

busier and busier, we still 

saw each other and went 

to shows or had dinner, but 

our nights out turned into 

emails and then Facebook 

messaging, still fun and still 

heartfelt. We were there 

for the important things in 

each other’s lives. She even 

brought us our first pet rabbit, 

Hoover. The best rabbit 

ever. She had been out driving 

around with her friend 

Al Sandoval that night, and 

over by Arte D’Mexico in 

North Hollywood, this rabbit 

was in the street. They 

opened the car door and 

he hopped in the backseat. 

After offering him a French 

fry, they drove over to our 

house, not knowing what to 

do with him. Hoover lived 

with us for about 10 years. 

Al passed away in 2002. Her 

life was, and continues to 

be, inexplicably entwined 

with mine in so many ways. 

Like many people, I was 

worried about her before 

she was rushed to the hospital 

in late April. I wasn’t 

with her every day, but I 

saw her as much as I could, 

and I knew what was going 

on every day, thanks to her 

family and a strong team 

of very close friends. And 

I guess for me, like everyone 

else that knew her, I’ve 

struggled to make sense of 

what seems to be so senseless 

of a tragedy. 

Knowing Gina and 

watching her over these 

many years, and in the time 

since she’s passed, listening 

to people talk about 

her, I know Gina was one 

of the kindest souls we will 

ever know. She was tireless 

in her care and concern 

with her friends and with 

those she encountered 

every day. And people, 

all kinds of people, were 

drawn to her. She had some 

irresistible quality about 

her that everyone wanted 

to touch and know. Let’s 

face it — she really knew 

how to nurture friendships. 

She was positive. She 

would always encourage 

you, no matter what. She 

would offer to help, even 

though she really didn’t

BAD NEWS 

SURVEY SAYS NEARLY TWO-THIRDS OF PUBLIC BELIEVES THE 

MEDIA IS BIASED IN ITS COVERAGE 

Would Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh view as sacrosanct 

the Constitution’s orders to Congress to “make no laws respecting an 

establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or 

abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably 

to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances?” 

Or would he see such protections as a threat to the republic? 

As it stands now, The Press — television, radio and newspapers — is in big trouble, 

largely of its own making. But, of course, some of the public’s disdain for the news 

media must be attributed to a relentless war being waged against it by President 

Trump. 

The latest salvo was launched last week at a campaign stop for a Republican US 

Senate challenger in Montana. The president lit into unnamed journalists for reports 

on his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, and other reports on his 

upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling them “fake news,” 

and concluding most but not all reporters are “downright dishonest,” “crooked” and 

“bad people.” 

This might have been easy to dismiss, except for the fact the president’s remarks 

came one week after five employees of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis Maryland 

were shot to death. Two others were also seriously injured after a man with a grudge 

against the paper entered the newsroom and opened fire with a shotgun. 

One day after the shooting, the president said, “Journalists, like all Americans, 

should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job,” CNN’s 

Brian Stelter reported. 

“But that same day,” Stelter’s report continues, “he also resumed his anti-media 

rhetoric. On Twitter, he called the ‘fake news’ part of the ‘opposition party;’ chastised 

journalists for pointing out his Twitter typos; accused the Washington Post of making 

up sources again; and called the Post ‘a disgrace to journalism,’ adding, ‘but then 

again, so are many others!’” 

In an interview with PBS’s Judy Woodruff, CBS reporter Lesley Stahl told of a 

conversation she had with Trump shortly after the election. Stahl, according to the 

Washington Post, said she asked the president if he planned to stop attacking the press. 

“I said, you know that is getting tired, why are you doing this — you’re doing it over 

and over and it’s boring,” Stahl said. “He said you know why I do it? I do it to discredit 

you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me no one will 

believe you.” 

And that tactic appears to be working. 

A Gallup/John S. and James L. Knight Foundation survey of 1,440 people found 

that “US adults estimate that 62 percent of the news they read in newspapers, see on 

television or hear on the radio is biased. They think the news media mostly provide 

accurate information, but still estimate that 44 percent of what they see is inaccurate. 

And they believe that more than a third of the news they see in these channels is 

misinformation — false or inaccurate information that is presented as if it were true,” 

according to the foundation. On social media, “They believe 80 percent of it is biased, 

64 percent is inaccurate and 65 percent is misinformation.” 

On Wednesday, the ACLU Pasadena-Foothills chapter and the LA Progressive web 

magazine hosted the discussion “Press Freedoms Under Attack,” featuring comments 

from civil rights attorney Stephen Rohde, author and radio political talk show host 

Sonali Kolhatkar of KPFK 90.7 FM, and Dick Price and Sharon Kyle, publishers of LA 

Progressive. 

David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, said Attorney 

General Jeff Sessions said earlier this year that the Justice Department had tripled the 

number of leak investigations that were going on when President Obama left office. 

“The First Amendment protects not just free speech, the right to assemble, but it 

specifically calls out the free press,” said Snyder, speaking to Brian Day and David 

Cross of the Pasadena Now news website. “So written into our Constitution is the idea 

that the Fourth Estate, as it’s sometimes called, has a key function, and that is to help 

expose corruption and wrongdoing in government so that the people can understand 

where their government is running afoul of the law or of the goals to which the people 

believe the government should be focused on.” 

Does Judge Kavanaugh or the sitting justices think it’s OK to spy on reporters, 

as Presidents Bush II, Obama and now Trump have all done? Could this apparently 

widespread diminution of trust in the press lead to fewer journalistic freedoms with 

Kavanaugh on the High Court? 

Given the damage that the Fourth Estate is already doing to itself, in part by 

sometimes acting like “the opposition party,” Trump may have no need to continue 

criticizing a once unassailable institution that more and more people seem to trust 

less and less. ■

SCHOOL DISTRICT COULD BE $12 MILLION IN DEBT IN TWO YEARS 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

After closing a budget gap that placed the Pasadena Unified 

School District in danger of takeover by the county Office of 

Education, local school officials were left with little time to 

celebrate. 

In the next two years, the district faces deficits that will again 

leave it perilously close to financial insolvency, and could force 

another round of school closures and layoffs. 

The district faces a $3 million budget deficit for the 2019-2020 

school year, and a $12 million shortfall for 2020-2021. 

Earlier this year, the board of education voted to eliminate 

139 full-time employees — 87 of those positions held by teachers 

— to close a $6.9 million gap via current year reductions and 

revenue increases. The board cut another $14.2 million in 

reductions for the 2018-19 school year beginning in September. 

“Everything will be on the table,” said Board Member Michelle 

Richardson Bailey. “But school closures are the very last option.” 

Earlier this year a committee recommended district officials 

close Wilson Middle School, Blair High School and Cleveland, 

Jefferson and Franklin elementary schools. 

The board opted to table the discussion of school closures 

indefinitely and did not vote on the committee’s recommendation. 

District spokesman Hilda Ramirez said those 

OUT OF CONTROL 

GLENDALE TENANTS UNION 

MEMBERS PROTEST AGAINST 

$800 A MONTH RENT HIKE 

The Glendale Tenants Union this week was 

scheduled to protest an $800 a month rent 

increase in an apartment building on Windsor 

Road. 

“They are implementing a rent spike 

without fixing any of the tenants’ problems… 

cockroaches, mold, termites, mice and faulty 

old appliances. With over 60 families living in 

this complex, most of whom are low-income 

earners with jobs in the city of Glendale, this is 

essentially an eviction,” said Vanessa, one of the 

affected residents, in a prepared statement. 

The 63-unit building, located in the 1300 

block of Windsor Road, is managed by Moss & 

Company. 

The Tenants Union, the residents of the building 

and their allies spoke in front of Glendale City 

Hall at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, just before heading 

into the City Council meeting to speak during the 

meeting. The Tenants Union continues to collect 

signatures for their Rent Stabilization and Fair 

Housing Act. 

The proposed ordinance would cap rent 

increases at 4 percent per year and establish a 

Rent Board to oversee the implementation of the 

new ordinance. For a more detailed summary, 

please see below. The full text of the proposed 

ordinance is available at http://GlendaleTenants. 

org/CSFR.pdf. 

About two-thirds of households in the city 

are renters. According to the city’s own data, 

59 percent of them are “burdened by housing 

overpayment,” meaning they pay more than 30 

percent of their income on rent. 

In October, the group turned in 11,000 signatures 

in an effort to get the initiative on the June 

ballot, but Glendale City Clerk Ardy Kassakhian 

deemed the petition “deficient and invalid.” 

According to Kassakhian, the text of the 

ballot measure did not contain the ballot title and 

summary of the city attorney. 

The text of the measure was not included 

anywhere in the petition, which is a violation of 

California Election Code, Kassakhian said. The 

petition also did not include a declaration by the 

author. 

The Glendale ballot measure is modeled on 

the rent control ordinance in West Hollywood, 

one of a handful of cities in Los Angeles County 

— among them Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and 

neighborhoods in Los Angeles — that have rent 

control. 

“Our city government has allowed reckless 

profiteering to attack the working class character 

of our city,” said Tenant Union co-founder Van 

Gorder. “Renters have been demanding meaningful 

protection for years and gotten nothing 

but phony sympathy and inaction.”

COUNCIL VOTES TO PUT ON HOLD 

EAST PASADENA HOUSING PROJECT 

PLANNED FOR CONTAMINATED 

FORMER NAVY TESTING SITE 


A controversial housing and mixed-use planned development 

at a former naval testing site in East Pasadena was Gene Masuda 

put on hold Monday night by the City Council. 

Pasadena Gateway, LLC wants to demolish 29 existing buildings on the 8.5 

acre site on Foothill Boulevard near Sierra Madre Villa Avenue. In their place, 

the company wants to build 550 apartments in eight residential units along with 

nearly 10,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The project, which 

includes above-ground and subterranean parking, would also include 46 units for 

low-income renters and 23 units for people with moderate incomes. 

The project would also include two acres of recreational space, including a 

public park, courtyards, a dog park, a fitness center, two clubhouses and a retail 

court. 

On Monday the council voted 4-3 in favor of Councilman Gene Masuda’s motion 

to place the project on hold due to air quality concerns that might arise during 

its construction. 

“This is such a complex project. I can’t support the air filtering system, and 

this is still near the freeway. There’s toxicity in the soil,” said Masuda, whose 

council district includes the project site. 

“Once the project is done, I honestly do not know how people will get to the 

west side of Pasadena,” wrote Laura Rodriguez, noting already heavy traffic will 

be unbearable if the project goes forward. 

“The already crowded streets will be impacted by this as well as several 

housing and commercial developments in East Pasadena that will be built in the 

near future,” Rodriguez wrote. “If you do not live around here, you can ignore the 

problem, but we certainly cannot.” 

The site housed a furniture company in the 1920s. It was later purchased by 

Caltech, which used it for research into jet propulsion in the 1930s and maintained 

it during World War II. 

The Navy purchased the property from Caltech in 1945, shortly after World 

War II ended, and used it for classified projects and torpedo testing during the 

Cold War. 

The research center consisted of approximately 60 buildings which included 

testing laboratories, machine shops, a foundry, and storage buildings, including 

one for classified materials. n

BETTER DAYS AHEAD 

GROUP HOPES TO TAKE PASADENA 

INTO CLEANER ENERGY FUTURE 


More than 20 local groups have banned together to aid 

the city in its efforts to create a fossil fuel free future. 

According to its website, Transition Pasadena 

advocates for “a more resilient city and for living lighter 

on our Earth.” 

“Under the banner of Pasadena 100, these organizations are advocating 

for 100-percent renewable energy by the year 2035, a goal that is now within 

easy reach because of technological breakthroughs in wind, solar and other 

renewable energy sources,” according a statement issued by Transition 

Pasadena. 

Pasadena 100 is focused on climate crisis and how the city can become a 

leader in reducing fossil fuel consumption. 

The project promotes two concepts: no new long-term fossil fuel contracts, 

and saving local residents money by getting to 100 percent renewable energy 

by 2035. 

Through its Repair Café project, the group seeks to reduce waste by linking 

handy men to folks needing repairs. 

AltaPasa Green Circle is a collaborative place-making project that promotes 

an eco-conscious, zero-waste philosophy while responding to the crisis of 

plastic pollution at the local level. The group is encouraging its coalition to 

attend two city meetings focused on Pasadena’s energy plans. 

Eco Breakfast is a bi-monthly gathering of local environmental advocates 

who come together to learn about and support each other’s work. The group 

began meeting after the City Council voted to ban Styrofoam containers in 

Pasadena. The group is fighting to keep the momentum going and strengthen 

its collective voice for environmental change in Altadena and Pasadena. 

On Wednesday, July 18 and Thursday, August 23, officials with Pasadena 

Water and Power will hold the meetings on its Power Integrated Renewal Plan. 

The state-mandated plan will help the city determine its energy future over the 

next 20 years. 

The meetings will be held from 6 to 8 p. at the Pasadena Central Library’s 

Donald Wright Auditorium, 285 E. Walnut St., Pasadena, and the Hastings 

Branch Library, at 3325 E. Orange Grove Blvd., respectively. n

recommendations may not even be used in future 

discussions. 

“There are a lot of factors involved that could 

change the picture entirely,” Ramirez said. “No 

schools will be closed when school opens next year. 

Any decisions on school closures will be for the 

2019-2020 school year. I know people have started 

to worry, but nothing is set.” 

According to a column by Board of Education 

member Scott Phelps that appeared in the Pasadena 

Weekly on July 5, Superintendent Brian McDonald 

is considering a districtwide magnet school 

approach to help increase enrollment and bring 

new funds into the district. 

“The superintendent has expressed the 

desire to pause and explore ways to increase 

revenue and also to attract students to increase 

the socioeconomic integration of our schools, 

which the Board of Education has made a focus 

area of the district,” Phelps wrote. “Students in 

socioeconomically diverse schools — regardless of 

a student’s own economic status — have stronger 

academic outcomes, score higher on standardized 

tests, and are more likely to enroll in college.” 

Several charter schools already share 

campuses with public schools, including Cleveland 

Elementary School, which shares space with 

Odyssey Charter School. 

In his annual State of the City Speech on Jan. 

16, Mayor Terry Tornek called for a three-quarter 

cent sales tax increase to generate more than $21 

million annually. One third of that money would go 

toward funding the school district. 

“If they are to continue their efforts to improve 

educational outcomes for our children, they need 

our support,” said Tornek. “We cannot have a great 

city without a great public school system.” 

Earlier this year, officials with the Los Angeles 

County Officer of Education (LACOE) informed the 

board that the district was in danger of becoming 

insolvent and could be taken over by the county. 

According to LACOE Chief Financial Officer 

Candi Clark, the district not only failed to 

implement expenditure reductions for three years, 

but also committed to ongoing expenditures, 

“placing the district in immediate risk of becoming 

insolvent.” 

LACOE is calling for cuts to special education, 

an increase in the district’s insurance fund workers’ 

compensation program, and close monitoring of 

enrollment trends. School funding by the state is 

predicated on student daily average attendance, 

with funding cuts corresponding to steep and 

ongoing reductions in the district’s student 

population. 

The district is currently plagued by several 

issues that have impacted its finances. Declining 

enrollment is one, and unless officials can find a 

constant revenue stream, the district could end up

in this situation again even if it closes schools and 

balances the budget for 2020-2021 school year. 

District officials have blamed the decreasing 

numbers on “white flight,” a phenomenon caused 

by upper middle-class white families pulling their 

children out of the struggling PUSD schools and 

placing them in area private schools or charter 

schools. 

To make matters worse, as housing prices and 

apartment rents increase in Pasadena, many young 

families and lower income families have moved east 

towards the Inland Empire where they can afford 

homes. Older residents whose children are out of 

the house are staying in their homes, making home 

inventory low and contributing to the rising costs. 

Finally, the state has mandated increases to 

retirement contributions. Health benefits are likely 

to increase over the next three years beyond the 

district’s projections due to the dismantling of the 

Affordable Care Act. 

The contribution taken from PUSD’s general 

unrestricted budget for needed special education 

services over the last five years was $147 million. 

The district’s contribution is likely to go up without 

an increase in funding from the federal government. 

Earlier this year, the board supported a rent 

control initiative that would have capped rent 

hikes, but organizers failed to gather the necessary 

signatures to get the initiative on the November 

ballot. 

The district’s financial woes led Moody’s to 

downgrade the district’s bond rating and list its 

outlook as negative. 

“The rating reflects the district’s diminished 

fiscal position that remains under stress though 

the district has enacted plans to provide some 

budgetary relief in fiscal 2018 and 2019.” States 

Moody’s report, which can be accessed online. “The 

rating also recognizes the size and wealth of the 

district’s exceptionally large assessed value and 

above average resident income levels.” 

If LACOE takes over the district, they would 

have the power to rescind board decisions if they 

deem them detrimental to the district’s financial 

status. 

All told, PUSD has 27 schools, a number some 

administrators feel may be too high for the district. 

But a LACOE takeover may not right the ship in 

Pasadena. In 2011, LACOE took over the struggling 

Inglewood Unified School District. Six years later, 

that district’s enrollment was still declining, 

according to an LA Times article earlier this year 

which also noted that several school buildings 

needed upgrades and repairs, and test scores and 

graduation rates were still below state average. 

“I know people have started to worry,” Ramirez 

said. “Everything is still in the discussion stages. 

We need a thoughtful long-term plan that takes into 

account the district’s academic program.” n

BOWL AS NORTH AMERICA WINS BID FOR 2026 WORLD CUP 

BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN 

Although the United States did not qualify for this 

year’s World Cup in Russia, soccer’s popularity in 

the United States — and especially in Pasadena — 

continues to explode. 

On June 13, one day before kickoff of the first game of 

the World Cup between Russia and Saudi Arabia, the Federation 

International de Football Association (FIFA) announced 

that the 2026 World Cup will be held in the United 

States, Canada and Mexico. The joint North American bid 

beat out Morocco by a vote of 134-65, mostly due to the fact 

that all of the necessary facilities already exist in North 

America, whereas Morocco would have to build several stadiums 

and improve infrastructure to the tune of $16 billion. 

According to The New York Times, President Donald 

Trump sent three letters to FIFA President Gianni Infantino 

over the past couple of months promising that “foreign 

teams, officials and even fans will face no restrictions 

on entering the US for World Cup matches in 2026 if their 

countries qualify for the tournament” and that Trump’s 

“hard line stance on visas would not apply to the World 

Cup.” The Trump administration’s travel ban and immigration 

policies almost derailed the North American bid. 

Meanwhile, all eyes are on the final game of this year’s 

World Cup in Russia. The final game will be played at 8 

a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, July 15, at Luzhniki 

Stadium in Moscow. France earned a trip to the final after 

beating Belgium, 1-0. Croatia and England were scheduled 

to play on Wednesday. 

SWEET 16 

The North American bid promises to generate $11 

billion in profits for FIFA. It could also be beneficial for 

Pasadena’s Rose Bowl. 

According to stadium General Manager Darryl Dunn, 

the facility, along with 22 other venues, is a candidate to 

host soccer games during the global, newly expanded 48- 

team tournament in 2026. Sixteen venues will ultimately be 

chosen by FIFA in 2020. 

“We’re hopeful,” said Dunn. “Our fingers are crossed.” 

When the United States last hosted the World Cup in 

1994, the final game between Italy and victorious Brazil 

was held at the Rose Bowl. Mexico hosted the 1970 and 

1986 tournaments. The US-Canada-Mexico bid forecasts 

that revenues will reach $14.3 billion. 

International soccer has carved out its place in the Rose 

Bowl. The stadium has hosted several national teams, as 

well as European club teams such as Inter Milan, Chelsea, 

Real Madrid and others. It hosted an international soccer 

match in 2013, another in 2014, two in 2015, four in 2016 and 

one in 2017. This year, Mexico and Wales faced off on the 

Rose Bowl’s Spieker Field on Memorial Day, and July will 

see AC Milan take on Manchester United and FB Barcelona 

take on Tottenham Hotspur. 

Next year, the Rose Bowl will present at least two 

games during the regional 2019 Gold Cup tournament, 

hosted by the Confederation of North, Central America and 

Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF). The Rose 

Bowl hosted the CONCACAF Gold Cup final in 2002 and 



Rose Bowl General Manager Darryl Dunn 

GAME ON 


2011, a group stage doubleheader in 2013 and a semifinal in 2017. The stadium also hosted 

Brazil vs. Ecuador, Colombia vs. Paraguay, and Mexico vs. Jamaica during the 2016 Copa 

America Centenario, a North, Central and South American regional soccer tournament. 

In fact, international soccer is critical for the long-term financial viability of the Rose 

Bowl, Dunn told Pasadena City Council members at their June 4 meeting. That night, the 

council unanimously approved a 10-year exclusivity contract with one of Southern California’s 

two Major League Soccer teams, LA Galaxy, and promoter Anschutz Entertainment 

Group (AEG), which also produces the music festival Arroyo Seco Weekend, now in 

its second year at the Rose Bowl and Brookside Golf Course. The Rose Bowl Operating 

Co. and AEG are currently finalizing the contract’s language and are expected to sign it 

soon. 

The other LA-based MLS team, LA Football Club, is a brand-new team with a 

brand-new stadium, the Banc of California Stadium in Exposition Park. 

“Soccer is an essential piece [of the Rose Bowl’s financial viability],” 

Dunn told the Pasadena Weekly. “The Rose Bowl is the only venue 

in the world that has ever been the host of the gold medal match 

of the Olympics [in 1984] and the final matches of the men’s and 

women’s World Cups [in 1994 and 1999, respectively]. No one 

else has done it. Our history is second to none and we have the 

reputation of being the preeminent soccer venue in America. 

We want to build on that and strengthen that. Continuing to 

host high-level international soccer is very important for our 

future, which is the primary reason why we want to do this 

deal with AEG.” 

The Rose Bowl will also likely host men’s and women’s 

semifinals and finals in soccer once again during the 2028 

Olympics, to be hosted by Los Angeles. Dunn said that the 

RBOC had a handshake agreement with LA’s Olympic bid 

committee when it was aiming to host the Games in 2024. 

“We’ve had some discussions [since Paris was awarded 

2024 and LA was awarded 2028], and we do anticipate having 

the same events in 2028, but we need to finalize specifics related 

to that with the organizing committee,” Dunn said. “We’re cautiously 

optimistic that that’s going to happen. And certainly, our partnership 

with AEG is going to do nothing but make us — the Rose Bowl and 

therefore Pasadena — stronger.” 

A STRONGER STADIUM 

Pasadena’s contract with LA Galaxy and AEG stipulates that any soccer match with 

an expected attendance of 35,000 or more involving either of those two entities within the 

LA market must be offered to the Rose Bowl. In return, the Rose Bowl will involve AEG in 

all its soccer bookings. The agreement also allows for a higher license fee structure. Currently, 

the Rose Bowl earns about $165,000 per soccer match that it hosts; under the new 

agreement, the stadium will earn anywhere between $250,000 and $400,000 per match. 

Thirty percent of net revenues will go to AEG/LA Galaxy, excluding admission tax. 

“We are confident that the minimum we will be able to generate [from special events 

such as international soccer games under this new agreement] is $300,000 per event,” 

said Dunn. “This is really an opportunity for the RBOC to give ourselves the best possible 

10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.12.18 

chance to continue to have soccer programming over the next 10 years.” 

The increased soccer revenue will help offset the declining golf revenue that the RBOC 

relies on. Golf’s popularity is decreasing nationwide. 

Jens Weiden, chief revenue officer of the RBOC, told council members that there is a 

real chance the Rose Bowl could be shut out of the soccer market if the city did not approve 

this contract. 

“Over this 10-year span, that could represent millions of dollars in lost revenues for 

the RBOC,” Weiden said. “This deal will better align ourselves to hopefully book some of 

this programming. It could be said that outside of American football, our venue is known 

internationally as a soccer venue more than anything else. For us, soccer has been and 

will continue to be very important as far as programming and revenue for the RBOC. 

For a very long time, the Rose Bowl had very little competition in the market. That is 

changing.” 

Weiden noted that the United Airlines Memorial Coliseum is currently 

undergoing a $300 million renovation that will be completed in 2019; 

the $350 million soccer-specific Banc of California Stadium opened 

earlier this year; and the $4 billion LA Stadium in Inglewood, 

which will be the home of the Chargers and the Rams and multiple 

other events, will open in 2020. 

“Our landscape when it comes to attracting events, which 

is our business, has changed and is constantly changing,” he 

said. “AEG and LA Galaxy have been partners of the Rose 

Bowl for a very long time. When it comes to promoting a 

soccer match, you almost always partner with the local MLS 

team. This is because you need to be able to market and sell 

tickets, so you need to partner with somebody that has a 

database of people that buy soccer tickets in market.” 

LA Galaxy, a founding member of MLS, first played at the 

Rose Bowl from 1996-2002. 

“When we set out to renovate the stadium, this is precisely 

what we had in mind,” said Pasadena Councilman Victor Gordo. 

“Fortunately, we’re a couple steps ahead of the Inglewood stadium’s 

opening. That’s going to be the most expensive stadium in 

the history of this country — of the world, maybe. And they’re going 

to have to make up that $4 to $5 billion. They are going to be hungry for 

events, and they’re likely going to try to buy a lot of the business away from 

other stadiums. If we hadn’t done the work of renovating the stadium and positioning 

it ahead of time, we’d be in a world of hurt, potentially also losing UCLA. So I’d like to 

thank Darryl and his staff for having positioned the Rose Bowl in this way and giving us 

a fighting chance. This is the kind of deal that we need to drive for so that we’re not just 

responding to the market and trying to compete for very limited business.” 

At the June 4 council meeting, Nina Chomsky, president of the Linda Vista-Annandale 

Association, questioned whether this deal represents “displacement creep,” meaning a 

gradual increase of large events at the Rose Bowl each year that are called “displacement 

events.” The city council has to approve any event over 15 per year. Dunn said they will 

reserve two displacement event slots for soccer each year over the 10-year period. 

“Part of our agreement with AEG is anything over two, no matter what number it will 

be, would be subject to approvals by the city,” he said. ■

FOOTHILL PAYS HOMAGE TO ITS AMERICAN DINER ROOTS 

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

The team behind one of San Gabriel Valley’s most iconic 

diners, Twohey’s, has brought their elevated food stylings 

to Pasadena at Foothill restaurant. 

Originally opened as Twohey’s Tavern, it closed and 

reopened as Foothill, undergoing a complete rebrand to avoid 

confusion with their 70-year-old sister store and retro diner. 

While most of the physical references to the former name are 

no more, I challenge anyone to look out for the few spots where 

the name still shows up. 

With menu items like Deviled Eggs ($6) made with bacon 

bits, mustard, Shaft’s two-year-old bleu cheese, onion rings ($8) 

and Cobb salad ($15), Foothill doesn’t shy away from paying 

homage to their Americana diner roots and home on Route 66. 

Foothill offers a seasonal menu sourced from local farmers 

markets, as well as a selection of seafood options they boast are 

always fresh and never frozen. The highpoint of my dining was 

the catch-of-the-day sea-bass. It was a large portion served with 

cauliflower florets and risotto. 

My experience at Foothill was not without some missteps. 

The bottle of wine my party chose from the menu turned out 

to be unavailable, on a slow Thursday evening just before the 

weekend dinner rush. One of my table mates ordered an old 

fashioned with Balvenie ($22) while at the bar and was told at 

the last moment they were out of large square ice cubes ideal for 

the drink. 

The following day I noticed my credit card had been 

mischarged. I contacted the manager who explained that the

HIGH EXPECTATIONS 


server ran my card twice and voided one of charges. 

But, believing I would not see the transaction, the 

server never communicated the potential charge 

to me. I typically hold off judgment on newer 

establishments as they work out the kinks in their 

operations, and recognize it takes time to figure out 

menu options and train kitchen and wait staff. 

However, Foothill, which was open for eight 

months under a different name and stems from a 

team who has been in the restaurant industry for 

more than 70 years, does not get a pass on blunders 

like these. 

The coffee-braised short rib ($23) served with 

garlic green beans, whipped potatoes, and natural jus 

reduction was lacking in quality. The short rib was 

fatty and did not possess the ideal braised tenderness. 

It was more reminiscent of a bland buffet option 

rather than an entree north of $20 at a restaurant. 

The bittersweet sundae was suggested to me by 

the waitress when I asked for the superstar of the 

dessert menu. When my predecessor and all around 

food spirit guide Erica Wayne reviewed Twohey’s 

Tavern in 2009, she called the bittersweet Sundae 

“the most wonderful dish at Twohey’s,” so I had 

high expectations for this sundae. Unfortunately, in 

the nine years since her experience the Sundae has 

devolved. Now, it resembles in taste and appearance 

what I imagine restaurants who don’t serve desserts 

give to patrons for free on their birthdays. 

Somewhere in the identity-crisis stricken Foothill 

is a fun casual cocktail bar aching to come out. The 

small plate options on the menu are already there, 

as are the mixologists behind the bar yearning for 

an audience to witness them stirring, shaking, and 

muddling away. 

Their appetizer and small-plate game is strong 

with items like the charcuterie ($16) chef selection 

of meats and cheeses, toasted almonds, grapes, 

olives, fig jam, wild honey and sourdough toast. 

The charcuterie platter I received came with an 

astounding mix of brie, sharp cheddar, prosciutto 

and salami, along with others. Other fun options 

included the Pumpkin Seed Hummus ($8) with 

crudite, feta, and pumpkin seed oil served with rye 

bread. 

If you’re in the mood for a burger and a beer, there 

is a hearty, half-pound tavern style burger ($12) with 

cheddar, Swiss, or bleu cheese for an additional $2. 

There is enough variety on their drink menu for even 

the choosiest of craft beer enthusiasts, everything 

from Modern times Blazing World Amber ($8) and 

Pabst Blue Ribbon ($7) to Old Rasputin ($8). 

While my dinner experience at Foothill was not 

perfect, I would be more than willing to return for 

their “boozy brunch,” with food options that range 

from chilaquiles ($15) to brioche French toast ($9) 

and partnered cocktails like unlimited mimosas 

($15) bloody Marys ($10) and the Queen Genever, 

made with orange juice, egg whites, Amaro and Bols 

Genever.

Gina Zamparelli 

have time. She would 

make the time. She 

would see the good 

side of things and offer 

her good thoughts 

and prayers when 

things looked dire. 

She would spend 

countless hours talking 

over problems 

and offering whatever 

advice or counsel 

she could. She really 

cared about all of 

us. And she LOVED 

us all. She truly did 

love us all. Reading 

over the thousands 

of posts on her 

Facebook page, in 

response to her being 

gravely ill, and also 

after she passed, as 

well as her friend’s 

posts and shares on 

Facebook, everyone felt like they had the same connection, even if they 

didn’t know her in person, and everyone feels a deep sense of loss. 

When I think about how senseless all this is, I also think about how 

we can continue on, and let a little piece of her live on within us. We can 

love people more. What does that mean? I can say I love you, but maybe 

it means taking an extra 10 or 15 minutes or an hour or a couple of hours, 

and really listening to the other person and finding out what is in their 

head and their heart. And hugging them. Hugging them hello and hugging 

them goodbye. That’s what Gina would have done. And, as one of her 

closest friends said to me the other day, we can find comfort in connecting 

with each other. We can share our memories of her. 

Late last year, I attended a memorial service for someone I considered 

a really great man, who was in his 90s. He was quite well known in our 

community. About 1,000 people attended his public memorial. A couple 

of things were said that day, as they related to the man that passed away, 

that struck me as such great thoughts, I scribbled notes on his program. 

When I was writing this, I went back and found that program. They relate 

to Gina, too. The first one was that happiness is giving to others; that 

we’re put here on this Earth to help others. The second was that in talking 

to other people you never know who you will get to know, and how 

you will connect. You should be open to talking to everyone, regardless of 

race, age, or status, and really get to know the other person. These ideas 

so strongly relate to what made Gina special. In that regard, Gina was 

one of the richest people that I will ever know, because she had so many 

people that loved her. She embodied the idea that we are put on this Earth 

to take care of each other. I would suggest that one way we can continue 

to honor Gina’s memory is to take care of each other. To be kind, despite 

all the craziness and chaos. Kindness is an easy gift to share. 

And the last note was one thought I carry with me, or try to carry with 

me, although it’s hard sometimes in my grief. And that is, we shouldn’t be 

sad that this time of Gina’s life is over. We should be glad that we were 

here to experience it, and all the richness we have felt because of her. 

Don’t be sorry it’s over; be glad that it happened. 

Gina, I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart.

Sri Lanka Day Expo celebrates culture and seeks to raise funds for 

hospital expansion 

The Sri Lanka Foundation celebrates the 12th annual Sri 

Lanka Day Exposition from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 

14, at Pasadena City Hall, featuring the sights, sounds and 

flavors of the ancient island nation. 

The day includes traditional dance troupes, a fashion 

show, musical acts, an exotic food festival and a “Pageant 

of Lanka” parade with floats at sunset along Colorado 

Boulevard. 

This year’s festival also launches the foundation’s 

fundraising campaign for a capital building project for a 

hospital expansion in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the country’s largest city. 

The Sri Lanka Foundation was founded by Dr. Walter Jayasinghe to promote Sri Lankan 

culture and raise money for Sri Lankan humanitarian projects. One of those projects, 

organized by the foundation in response to the deadly tsunami that hit the island in 2004 is 

to expand the hospital from 22 to 150 beds. 

Pasadena City Hall is located at 100 N. Garfield Ave., Pasadena.

•ADVICE• 

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER 

TORN 

IN TWO 

DAD PRESSURED TO GET 

DAUGHTER AWAY FROM 

RAGING MOM 

Dear Patti, 

My wife, Diana, can love more intensely than anyone I’ve ever met. She deeply 

loves me and our daughter, Sophia (6).Diana has four older brothers who constantly 

bullied her and, accordingly, she held all her feelings in and became very shy. 

Despite her shyness, I immediately fell in love when we first met in high school and 

saw how beautiful she was inside and out. In her senior year, she started drinking 

intermittently, getting angrier and acting out with her temper. She’d get in fights 

out on the road with other drivers or at clubs. She’d often get me involved and I’d 

have to engage in fights to protect her. Although she felt bad about raging, she said 

it felt good not to be shy anymore and hold all her emotions in. 

I know Diana loves our daughter, but her angry outbursts do upset Sophia. 

When Diana drinks and rages, Sophia becomes very quiet, trying desperately to 

please her mother. She told her teacher that her mother yells at her and makes her 

scared and sad. She also said she wished she was a better little girl so her mother 

wouldn’t get so mad at her. 

Someone from the school called Children’s Protective Services and a social 

worker has been making visits. A neighbor told the social worker she saw Sophia 

outside late at night. Sophia admitted to her she was outside looking for her dolly 

because her mother had thrown it out the window. The social worker recently told 

me that if I don’t move out and take Sophia away, she’ll remove her from our home. 

The social worker is trying to force me to leave Diana. Sophia loves her and 

doesn’t want to leave her any more than I do. I’m afraid if we left Diana would feel 

devastated, terribly guilty and get even more depressed. My sister would keep Sophia 

but it might be rough for her to be separated from both her parents. I’m afraid 

she’ll blame herself. I’m being torn in two and I don’t know what to do. 

— Chris 

Dear Chris, 

You don’t have to ever stop loving Diana, nor do you have to turn your back on her. 

You do, however, need to protect Sophia. It’s one thing if you want to stay and endure 

Diana’s rage but it’s your job to keep your daughter safe and out of harm’s way. While 

it will be intensely difficult, you need to separate from Diana, letting her know that Sophia 

has to come first and you can no longer allow her to live in an environment which 

is hurting her. You can meet Diana every day and discuss how to get her help. Further, 

it’s not in her best interest for you to minimize her problems. Although you’re not divorcing 

her, you need to let her know you’re leaving to keep Sophia safe until she gets professional 

help with her rage and substance abuse. 

Children coming from abusive situations often develop symptoms of depression, 

anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder and somatic complaints. Take 

care not to minimize the psychological impact on Sophia. The social worker who interviewed 

Sophia may have come to the conclusion that the volatile nature in your home 

has created an unsafe environment for your daughter and that her emotional needs are 

being neglected since the focus of the family’s attention is on Diana. 

Sophia could come to believe that her mother’s behavior is an acceptable method to 

express anger, frustration and control. She could also develop characteristics of learned 

helplessness as she’s powerless to stop the abuse. Additionally, she’s at risk for various 

acting-out behaviors such as alcohol/drug use, running away, sexual acting-out, stealing, 

and other dangerous behaviors. She may learn that getting her needs met involves 

using intimidation, control and aggression. She may learn to identify with the aggressor 

(her mother) and become verbally or physically abusive. Don’t forget that Diana was 

once shy and bullied by her brothers and learned to act-out through to adulthood. 

I understand that Diana can be positive and loving and that you don’t want to break 

up your family, but I’m concerned you’re confusing enabling with loving. If you really 

love Sophia, keep her safe no matter what. Prove to her that her well-being comes first. 

Insist that Diana no longer abuse herself and her family by not getting the professional 

support she needs. ■

REVIVAL OF A 

MOVEMENT 

I SEE HAWKS IN LA LEADS PROTEST 

SING-ALONG ‘NOW MORE THAN EVER’ 

AT GRAND PERFORMANCES 

P.25 

Outdoor theaters and tavern courtyards were common staging 

areas for acting companies in William Shakespeare’s time, and 

performers routinely adapted to varied surroundings. Sets 

were consequently simple; actors trusted Shakespeare’s magnificent 

verse and audience imagination to establish palaces, foreign lands 

and other exotic settings. 

That ready-to-roll ethos typifies Shakespeare By the Sea, a nonprofit 

repertory company presenting Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s 

Tale” in South Pasadena’s Garfield Park on Thursday, July 19. (The 

company will return on Aug. 2 with “The Merry Wives of Windsor.”) 

Founded in 1998 and associated with beach communities, 

SBTS stages pop-up productions in summer across LA, Orange and 

Ventura counties. Garfield Park is calendared between an open-air 

performance in Rowland Heights the previous evening, and another 

the following night in San Pedro’s Marine Mammal Care Center. 

Actress Leah Dalrymple says the non-Equity cast mounts a “huge 

team effort” setting up and striking stages and lights every night, 

not unlike traveling Shakespearean troupes of yore.

“I’m practically living out of my car,” jokes Dalrymple, who’s 

found it an interesting technical and dialect challenge to jump 

between playing the regal Hermione as well as Bohemian shepherdess 

Dorcas in “Winter’s Tale” and the earthy “busybody” Mistress 

Quickly in “Merry Wives.” “To sleep in and when I’m off on the road, 

I’m working a day job and then making my commute out to wherever 

we’re performing. I’ve got clothes in the car, I’ve got food in the car, 

I’ve got little bags for all of my stuff. [Laughs] I really feel connected 

to the troubadours of the old days.” 

“It’s a lot of changes every single night, which is part of the fun of 

the gig: you never really quite know what you’re going to get,” agrees 

smooth-toned “Merry Wives” director Cylan “Cy” Brown, who 

has worked with SBTS for nine years and says their shows attract 

numerous families experiencing Shakespeare for the first time. The 

plays’ different sets share the same floor configuration with minor 

alterations, and Brown says he offers the same advice to new SBTS 

actors: “You really are like the traveling troubadours going from 

castle to castle, and you get to know the citizens of the area. It’s

THE PLAY’S THE THING 


22 PASADENA WEEKLY | 07.12.18 

about as close to the true Shakespeare experience as 

you can expect to get.” 

“There’s not a lot of time for getting prepared” but 

veteran actor Tom Killam says he’s “having a blast” in 

his first SBTS season, despite logistical hurdles. Killam, 

who worked with another Shakespeare company 

in the past (and is known to Glendale Center Theatre 

audiences as Ebenezer Scrooge in “A Christmas 

Carol”), portrays the trusty Old Shepherd as well as 

First Lord in “Winter’s Tale.” He hadn’t expected an 

opportunity to also tackle Falstaff — one of the classical 

canon’s greatest mettle-testing roles — because 

he lacks the physical girth. But like Tom Hanks, 

who won raves for his recent turn as Falstaff in the 

Shakespeare Center of LA’s production of “Henry IV,” 

Killam is donning a fatsuit to embody the character, 

one of Shakespeare’s most beloved, yet one that 

poses discomfiting challenges in the #MeToo age. 

“He’s unabashed,” he says, laughing. “He thinks 

the world of himself and he’ll always try and take his 

best shot at being an alpha male, although he’s really 

just an alpha buffoon.” Killam’s foremost challenge as 

an actor is keeping the portly knight “bigger than life 

without going too far over into farcical, and having 

him grounded somewhat” so audiences can engage 

with him “as a guy” despite his many flaws. 

Shakespeare’s Henry plays temper Falstaff’s 

titanic self-regard with more depth. In contrast, 

“Merry Wives” offers broad, crowd-pleasing comedy 

that’s easily derided; enlightened it is not, as Falstaff 

schemes to seduce and blackmail two wives and their 

wealthy husbands. (“O powerful love,” he declaims in 

Act Five, “that in some respects makes a beast a man, 

in some other a man a beast.”) But Brown champions 

“Wives”: “With the world being what it is and politics 

being pretty extreme, I think this is a time for farce 

and absurdity. Maybe even more so than satire or dark 

comedies that really sting. We need some lighthearted 

escape from the 24-hour news cycle.” 

The infrequently produced “Winter’s Tale” is 

altogether meatier — and trickier to bring to life, as it 

slips between tragedy, comedy and magical realism, 

with one character famously chased offstage by a 

bear and another character’s statue descending from 

a pedestal. Threads of contemporary relevance stitch 

its intriguing story of family separations, reunions, 

true friendship and love, set in motion by the jealousy 

of King Leontes, a tyrant who unsettlingly resembles 

the White House’s Narcissist in Chief. (Who, the 

world can only hope, will soon also be humbled 

enough to ask, “Does not the stone rebuke me for 

being more stone than it?”) It’s called one of Shakespeare’s 

“problem plays,” director Stephanie Coltrin 

observes, because it’s hard to figure out how to give 

its changeable elements “equal weight and equal 

value, especially when you’re cutting it down [to fit 

in] two hours.” 

Written around 1610, when English explorers 

were beginning to colonize the so-called New World, 

“Winter’s Tale” is backdropped by the Renaissance 

era’s excitement over emerging possibilities on a 

planet newly discovered to be round. Taking note of 

the play’s “very Greek” structure, Coltrin updated it to 

Victorian times during the Greek Revival architectural 

movement, when “women were finding their voice. 

Shakespeare has written really powerful, beautiful 

women in this play.” Costuming the women in 

clothes that are corseted and staid, yet curve with a 

soft Grecian drape, further underscores how they are 

“finding power in their femininity instead of it being a 

hindrance. … 

“What I love about the play is that it came at a time 

in Shakespeare’s life when he was exploring redemption 

and grace,” Coltrin says. “When we all get older 

we understand the need to look at that. To me, it’s 

his most beautiful play. I love the language, I love the 

story, but for me it’s about the power of the emotion 

and the power of the reunion that happens at the end, 

and that the reunion’s facilitated through the younger 

people. We did a slight restructuring so there’s a big 

entrance, and the audience can feel this big upsurge in 

hope.” n

Revival of a 

Movement 

I SEE HAWKS IN LA LEADS PROTEST SING-ALONG 

‘NOW MORE THAN EVER’ AT GRAND PERFORMANCES 

With the country gripped 

by raging political fever, 

it seems an apt time for 

protest songs. Not that artists are 

keeping silent; Kendrick Lamar, 

Beyoncé, Drive-By Truckers, Father 

John Misty, Fantastic Negrito, 

Margo Price, Prophets of Rage, 

Eminem, and Hurray for the Riff 

Raff are just a few who have protested 

injustice, gun violence, environmental 

devastation, and the 

Trump administration in song. But 

not even Childish Gambino’s viral 

“This is America” has achieved the 

mass traction of protest songs by 

Buffalo Springfield, the Chambers 

Brothers, Bob Dylan, Curtis 

Mayfield and the Staple Singers 

that, during the 1960s, served as 

rallying cries for the civil rights 

and antiwar movements. 

Friday night’s “Now More 

Than Ever” concert at California 

Plaza aims to revive that protest 

song tradition. The brainchild of 

Grand Performances Director of 

Programming Leigh Ann Hahn, the 

event will be led by I See Hawks in 

LA, who will back various guests, 

including actor Roger Guenveur 

Smith, soul-jazz vocalist Nailah 

Porter, R&B singer Ivan Kady, 

hip-hopper Dice Raw, and Grand 

Performances Executive Director 

(and nueva cancion veteran) 

Mari Riddle. Hawks bassist Paul 

Marshall will lead a miniature harmony 

workshop with the audience; 

the goal, per Hawks guitarist Paul 

Lacques, is to “get everyone up and 

singing.” 

“The idea is to jumpstart the 

tradition of songs helping lead 

social and political change,” he 

explains. “The song was the newspaper, 

going way back, especially 

for underground sources of information. 

In the 1960s it came to this 

amazing blossom.” 

Songs will range from labor 

and social justice anthems “El 

Picket Sign” and “De Colores (In 

Colors)” to Peter Gabriel’s “Biko,” 

Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song,” 

and classics by Dylan, Woody 

Guthrie, John Lennon, Nina 

Simone and Neil Young. All have 

folk roots in earlier struggles for 

equality and justice. The Hawks 

will also perform originals upholding 

that tradition; sociopolitical 

consciousness has defined 

the substance of their music 

since their first, self-titled album 

in 2001, particularly with regard 

to environmental issues. That 

extends to the just-released “Live 

and Never Learn,” whose lead 

song “Ballad for the Trees” they’ll 

perform Friday. 

“I do hope the protest movement 

gathers steam,” Lacques says. 

“We need it badly. Humanity has 

reached a crisis point. But for me 

personally, the big issues are still 

eco issues. There’s seven-and-ahalf 

billion people on Earth and 

something’s gotta give, and all the 

noise right now is absolutely ignoring 

that fact. I feel like we’re on the 

beach arguing about sand castles 

and there’s this 100-foot wave on 

the horizon.” 

They’ll also perform the bittersweet 

“Hope Against Hope,” 

which, like most of their work, 

tempers anger with humor and 

melodic uplift. Lacques can be 

blisteringly cynical about politics, 

but when it comes to young 

people he expresses genuine 

hope. 

“They’re less deluded,” he 

notes. “They’re more aware of 

what’s really happening, and the 

stakes for them — because they’re 

gonna live through more of whatever’s 

coming than we are. I just 

hope they can translate that into 

meaningful action.” n 

Grand Performances presents “Now More 

Than Ever: Protest Songs Sing-along” 

at California Plaza, 350 S. Grand Ave., 

Downtown LA, at 8 p.m. Friday, July 13;

The group is critically hailed as America’s top Benatar tribute act. Fronted by the vocal and performing talents of Jill 

Marie Burke, the band perfectly reproduces the sound of the originals. Music fans can expect the same hard-hitting performance 

as a Benatar show would provide, only in an acoustic format this time. 

Benatar’s legendary hits, including “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” “Love is a Battlefield,” “Fire and Ice” and the rest will 

be on full display. Burke is backed by a group of top-notch musicians who do the music justice. This is as close to the real 

thing as you can get.

Eileen Carey 

Balancing Act 

ALTADENA-BASED COUNTRY SINGER AND ‘MUSIC MOM’ BLOGGER EILEEN CAREY OPENS FOR RITA COOLIDGE SATURDAY AT THE ROSE 

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI 

PHOTO: Courtesy of Patricia Cunliffe 

Eileen Carey has spent her adult life balancing being 

one of the most respected singer-songwriters on 

country music’s independent circuit and maintaining 

a successful home life as a wife and mother to 

two now-adult children. Now, the longtime Altadena 

resident has combined the wisdom gained from 

those two aspects of her life to create the popular 

website and blog musicmom.com. There she shares 

her thoughts on everything from parenting and 

cooking to fun lists of songs and movies that fit 

different moods and moments of life. 

On Saturday, she’ll also be strapping on her 

boots and hitting the stage of The Rose nightclub in 

Pasadena for a performance opening for Grammywinning 

singing star Rita Coolidge. 

The evening is just one part of a busy summer 

schedule. Carey played a set at the legendary 

Whisky a Go Go last Friday, with another performance 

at the Orange County Fair set for July 28, 

and another show at The Rose on Aug. 18, opening 

for Jefferson Starship. 

“It is a thrill and an honor to be opening for Rita 

Coolidge at The Rose, my home court so to speak,” 

says Carey. “She is one of the most legendary 

country women in the world, and my lead guitarist 

and music director John McDuffie has been doing 

the same job for Rita for many years as well. Often 

I work around Rita’s schedule when booking my 

shows, but this time I got lucky when she agreed to 

have me open this show. I am enjoying Rita’s new 

album ‘Safe in the Arms of Time’ and glad that she 

is jumping back into touring again. It is inspiring.” 

Carey came up with the idea of the Music Mom 

blog as a means of connecting with mothers in the 

music industry who want to share their lives with 

other women with children. She sees the site as an 

outlet for all parents for whom music is a career. 

By learning to balance her music career with her 

husband and two young daughters, she hopes to 

educate and inspire people through her experiences 

with music, motherhood and life. 

The site was relaunched earlier this year, as 

Carey broadened the scope and increased the 

frequency of her posts, particularly in providing fun 

song lists to brighten all sorts of family occasions. 

She believes that music is not only a source of 

emotional and spiritual strength in all types of daily 

situations, but can also bring society together in our 

divided times. 

“Music is magic because it can cement the 

relationship between people with similar tastes, but 

it also works as a uniter because it is the closest 

thing to our hearts and souls,” says Carey. “We are 

all music fans here. My husband might be the biggest 

music fan I know, while my daughters love and 

support music of all kinds. I like to think that my 

music career has actually contributed to my family 

life. I know my career alone has brought together all 

sides of our families. It also recently allowed a very 

close family friend to heal from her mother’s death 

this past summer. Music is powerful.” 

Carey is also a fan of positive thinking, a fact 

that no doubt helps her make it through the hectic 

pace of a life where she notes, “I’d gladly put 48 

hours in a day!” And with some big shows on the 

schedule and fresh songs always being recorded, 

it’s easy to see it working for her. 

“I try to give people a different way of thinking, 

a view that offers them alternatives, support and 

encouragement,” says Carey. “We all have our trials, 

but I’m 100 percent convinced we can overcome 

them by maintaining the right attitude in life. I also 

don’t like to see things from the right or the left. I 

try to balance all things in my life. I strongly believe 

in balance. The center.” n 

Eileen Carey opens for Rita Coolidge at 6:15 p.m. Saturday 

at The Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. Tickets are $24 

to $38. Visit wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com or call (888)

SOUTH PASADENA PUBLIC LIBRARY HOSTS 

FAMILY-FRIENDLY COMEDY NIGHT JULY 19 

Ron Pearson 

BY DR. JERRY CORNELIUS 

The South Pasadena Public Library has long had a reputation for hosting eclectic entertainment on 

Thursday nights in its historic Community Room. The playlist ranges from screenings with filmmaker 

discussions to dynamic concerts in all musical genres. Next Thursday, July 19, it will turn into an 

all-ages comedy club when the library teams up with the Catholic Laughs comedy troupe to present 

the “Family-Friendly Funnies” show. 

The evening features a heavy-hitting lineup of three national-headliner comics including “Conan” 

writer/Letterman comic Brian Kiley, Guinness World Record-setting comic juggler Ron Pearson 

and Mary Gallagher (fresh off her national-TV debut on the Stephen Colbert show). The show also 

includes sets by Catholic Laughs co-founders Scott Vinci (Comedy Store, Flappers) and Pasadena 

Weekly’s Arts Editor Carl Kozlowski, who have spent the past year bringing clean and clever comedy 

shows to Catholic churches and causes across Los Angeles. 

“Our shows aren’t just for Catholics, but we’ve proven that we’re able to bring some of the funniest 

comics in the country to audiences eager to laugh without being hit with foul language and shock 

comedy,” says Kozlowski. “We’re excited to bring our show to the South Pasadena library, because 

it’s a chance to provide a great show to an all-ages family audience and it’s our first big chance to 

cross over to a general-audience crowd.” 

“Family-Friendly Funnies” will be performed at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 19, at the South Pasadena 

Public Library, 1100 Oxley St., South Pasadena. Admission is free. Call (626) 403-7340.

Height of Absurdity 

DWAYNE JOHNSON’S ‘SKYSCRAPER’ IS HOKEY AND IMPLAUSIBLE, BUT UNDENIABLY FUN 

Does anyone go to a movie starring Dwayne Johnson for 

anything remotely resembling realism? Perhaps more than 

any other movie star on the planet — perhaps even in movie 

history — he’s perfected a mix of unbelievable physical strength, 

goofy humor and an inherent heroic, all-American decency that 

works whether he’s in the hard-charging “Fast & Furious” series or a 

kid-friendly adventure romp like the “Jumanji” reboot. 

The one major debacle of his career in the past five years or 

so was when he inexplicably turned the insipid 1990s TV series 

“Baywatch” into a raunchy R-rated action comedy. But he quickly 

course-corrected himself with the $400 million hit “Jumanji” and 

the absurdly inventive monster movie “Rampage,” and he’s topped 

himself in terms of ludicrous fun with this weekend’s blockbuster 

“Skyscraper.” 

Clearly modeled after the original “Die Hard,” mixed with “The 

Towering Inferno,” “Skyscraper” reunites Johnson with Rawson 

Marshall Thurber, the writer-director of his terrific 2016 actioncomedy 

“Central Intelligence.” In it, he plays Will Sawyer, a security 

expert who travels to Hong Kong to assess the safety level of the 

world’s largest skyscraper as it’s about to open. 

Will received the job from a friend who used to be on a team of 

federal agents under his command. Their teamwork abruptly ended 

years before when (as seen in the film’s intense opening sequence) 

a fugitive set off a bomb that blew off one of Will’s legs and scarred 

his friend — a former colleague who is actually setting up Will as 

revenge for ruining his life. 

It turns out that the skyscraper’s developer, billionaire Zhoa Long 

Ji (Chin Han), has stirred the ire of a mercenary named Kores Botha 

(Roland Møller), who extorted millions from him. Zhoa placed 

tracking software on his purloined millions, compromising the operations 

of the three international crime cartels that Kores worked 

for, and now Kores is out for revenge by both setting the seemingly 

indestructible skyscraper aflame and seizing Zhoa’s main tracking 

device. 

Kores sees Will’s presence as the perfect distraction, and frames 

him to look like he caused the destructive fire. In addition, Will’s 

wife (Neve Campbell) and two young children are staying above 

the flame-engulfed 96th floor — meaning Will not only has to save 

the building from destruction and his reputation from ruin, but also 

rescue his family, all at the same time. And don’t forget, he’s doing 

it all while wearing a prosthetic leg that keeps coming off at all the 

wrong times. 

Sound convoluted? It is, and that’s just half the twists involved 

in Thurber’s utterly ridiculous screenplay. But again, does it matter 

to the kind of mass audience looking to a film like this for carefree 

summer fun? 

“Skyscraper” takes elements from zillions of action blockbusters 

and disaster movies and mixes them together in a combination that 

feels familiar in all the right ways yet preposterously original on its 

own terms overall. There are not many movies that could rely upon 

their hero scaling a 100-story-tall crane using only his bare hands, 

not to mention finding 15 unique ways to use a prosthetic leg in fight 

scenes. 

Thurber and Johnson impressively balance the silliness with 

scenes in which Will’s injuries— which also include a forearm 

slashed by a big knife and a six-inch shard of glass he has to pull out 

of one of his massive pecs — render him surprisingly human and 

vulnerable. It’s clear that they’re emulating Bruce Willis’ powerful 

scene in the original “Die Hard” in which he pulls countless pieces 

of broken glass from his bloody bare feet, thinking he’s going to die 

from his injuries, and Johnson has developed into a strong enough 

actor to make his big emoting scene affecting. 

Yet for all its mix of insanely over-the-top action and vulnerable 

moments, “Skyscraper” doesn’t quite reach the status of timeless 

action classic because of its sheer implausibility. “Die Hard” had 

a fundamental grittiness at its core, a real sense of life-and-death 

stakes amplified by the fact that Willis was still largely unknown as 

a movie star and could thus make audiences truly feel his pain. 

On the other hand, Johnson is both literally and figuratively the 

world’s biggest movie star. He may wince well and show a depth of 

conviction in his concern for family, but there’s never a moment’s 

doubt that he will survive. 

Judging from the wild applause and cheers of the audience at 

Monday night’s advance screening in Hollywood, it may not matter. 

In these uncertain times, people want a hero they can be certain 

will come through for them, and on that front “Skyscraper” handily 

delivers. n

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


THREE IDENTICAL 

STRANGERS 

Stars: Eddie Galland, David Kellman, Robert 

Shafran 

Length: 96 minutes 

Directed by: Tim Wardle 

Rating: PG-13 

This fascinating true-life documentary about 

the incredible story of three male triplets who 

discovered at age 19 they were each separated 

and adopted by different families at six months 

old. At first, the national notoriety made 

life a blast, but then tragedy and shocking 

discoveries got in the way. An amazing tale of 

treachery, deceit and brotherly love. Grade:B 

WHITNEY 

Stars: Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown 


Directed by: Kevin Macdonald 

Rating: R 

This riveting, heartbreaking documentary 

spotlights the amazing vocal talent and 

dramatic rise and fall of legendary singer 

Whitney Houston, who died of a drug-induced 

drowning in 2012. Director Macdonald is a 

veteran narrative filmmaker who brings real 

force to the story, complete with shocking 

revelations of childhood abuse and her 

surprising friendship with Michael Jackson. 

Grade:A 

ANT-MAN AND 

THE WASP 

Stars: Paul Rudd, Evenageline Lilly, Michael 

Douglas 


Directed by: Peyton Reed 

Rating: PG-13 

The second Ant-Man movie delivers on comedy, 

great effects and winning lead performances, 

but lacks a truly compelling villain. Still, it's a 

refreshing change of pace from the increasingly 

heavy-handed spirit of most Marvel movies and 

is a blast to behold. Grade:B 

JURASSIC WORLD: 

FALLEN KINGDOM 

Stars: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard 


Directed by: J.A. Bayona 

Rating: PG-13 

This edition of the second "Jurassic" trilogy 

still serves up plenty of relentless scares, but 

a total of five movies in, the idea of genetically 

engineered dinosaurs endangering humans 

is growing as old as the real-life beasts. 

Director Bayona has a lot of fun with the beasts 

rampaging through an essentially haunted 

house, but its stars don't have as much to do. 

Grade: B 

WON'T YOU BE MY 

NEIGHBOR? 

Stars: Fred Rogers, Joanne Rogers, 

Betty Aberlin 


Directed by: Morgan Neville 

Rating: PG-13 

This documentary on the life of TV legend 

Fred Rogers has a quiet power that sneaks 

up on viewers, as it reminds us that his 

seemingly simple "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" 

tackled heavy duty issues like war, divorce 

and racism. The fact that lifelong Republican 

minister Rogers helped push social progress 

is a touching reminder that we all need to 

work together to make the world a better 

place. Grade:A

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

Notice of Public Hearing to Consider 

Single-Family Residential Design 

Guidelines and Review Process 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In response 

to community concerns regarding the 

potential for “mansionization” in Pasadena, 

and at the direction of the City 

Council, the Planning & Community 

Development Department has undertaken 

a three-phase effort to revise 

development standards applicable to 

single-family dwellings. As the fi nal 

phase of this effort, and in order to 

ensure greater consistency and compatibility 

among single-family dwellings, 

the proposed project would create 

Single Family Residential Design 

Guidelines applicable to construction 

of a new single family dwelling, new 

second stories and second story additions, 

and signifi cant exterior alterations. 

Such projects would be subject 

to a new discretionary review process 

and involve public noticing. 

PROJECT LOCATION: All single-family 

residential properties that are not 

located within the Neighborhood Overlay 

District (Lower Hastings Ranch) or 

Hillside Overlay areas. 

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINA- 

TION: The Planning Commission 

will consider whether adoption of the 

proposed Zoning Code Amendment 

is exempt from the California Environmental 

Quality Act under Section 

15061(b)(3), under the general rule 

that CEQA applies only to projects 

which have the potential for causing a 

signifi cant effect on the environment. 

Where it can be seen with certainty 

that there is no possibility that the 

activity in question may have a signifi 

cant effect on the environment, the 

activity is not subject to CEQA. 

APPROVALS NEEDED: 

The Planning Commission will 

conduct a public hearing and consider 

the proposed amendments on July 

25, 2018. The Planning Commission 

will forward its recommendation to the 

City Council. The City Council will 

make a fi nal decision on the proposed 

amendments at a separately-noticed 

public hearing. 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 

Planning Commission will hold a public 

hearing to receive input from the 

public and provide comments on the 

proposed Single-Family Residential 

Design Guidelines and review process, 

pertaining to single-family residential 

properties. 

Date: Wednesday, July 25, 

2018 

Time: 6:30 p.m. 

Place: City Hall 

Council Chamber, 

Room S249
