BLOW IT UP! 

When President Trumpet 

recently met with the dictator 

Kim Jong Un in Singapore, 

there is one very big and 

damned important topic he 

failed to cover; the fact that 

North Korea is still, to this 

day, holding a valuable US 

Navy vessel, the USS Pueblo! 

They hijacked/stole the 

Pueblo in 1968 and held the 

crew for 11 months before 

releasing them. They never, 

repeat never, released the 

ship. It is still a tourist attraction in one of the North Korean 

ports. It has been used as a tourist attraction by North Korea 

since 1968 to embarrass and humiliate the United States and 

the US Navy. 

I sent a “memo for President Trump” to the White House, 

in which I suggested a solution. 

* Ask the North Korean dictator to give the ship back to 

us now, immediately. 

* If they refuse to release the Pueblo, then launch two or 

three cruise missiles from one of our numerous, nearby navy 

warships, and blow the ship into scrap metal. 

That is not a verbatim quote of what I told President 

Trumpet, but pretty close. 

The point I made was this: Release immediately or blow 

the ship to pieces!

TORN APART 

I became fascinated with 

politics when my parents 

took me to the Democratic 

Political Convention in Los 

Angeles in 1960. I was lucky 

to meet several of the candidates, 

including JFK and 

LBJ. After that I was hooked! 

I worked for Bobby Kennedy 

in 1968 and many local 

Democratic candidates. 

But now I cannot vote for 

Maxine Waters. Her remarks 

about confronting anybody 

who favors Donald Trump 

— wherever they are — and 

telling them that they are not 

welcome is reprehensible 

and not worthy of any political 

candidate. 

I was equally angered by 

Donald Trump’s remarks 

concerning Congresswoman 

Waters. If you cannot understand 

how wrong these 

remarks are, I feel sorry for 

you. When is it OK to deny 

anybody the right to eat a 

meal in peace just because 

they disagree with you? I 

will not vote Republican, so 

will vote for a third party for 

Congress this year. 

We need civility in politics 

or our nation will be torn 

apart.

VIA EMAIL 

A NEW LOW 

When he took the oath of 

office in January 2017 Donald 

Trump swore that he would 

“preserve, protect, and defend 

the Constitution of the 

United States.” He violates 

his oath virtually daily with 

caustic verbal attacks on 

individuals and organizations 

who are exercising their 

rights under the First Amendment 

to the Constitution. 

Sadly, congressional 

leaders stay silent and many 

citizens publicly cheer this 

unacceptable conduct. We 

are at a new low point in the 

history of the US presidency.

VIA EMAIL 

A HAND UP 

Homelessness is a systemic 

problem. Building a few 

expensive apartments is not 

the answer. 

We need to get people 

job-ready before they leave 

high school by providing 

them with practical 

vocational training, apprenticeships 

and general 

job-readiness skills. In my 

experience, this is not 

happening in our public 

schools. 

Life preparation classes 

— understanding personal 

finance, the cost of living, 

the personal and social 

costs of breaking the law 

and being incarcerated — 

are sorely lacking. Unless 

they come from well-to-do 

families, most students 

leave school and immediately 

wind up on the deep 

end of life without knowing 

how to swim. 

Shelters are a Band-Aid. 

Social safety nets should 

incentivize people to lift 

themselves up, not just 

tread water. We could start 

by building dormitories like 

colleges have and offering 

jobs on site to help people 

get an immediate leg up.

BY KEVIN UHRICH 

PROCEED WITH CAUTION 

SOMETHING’S BETTER THAN NOTHING FOLLOWING 

TRUMP-PUTIN MEETING IN HELSINKI 

It was a dizzying week in international politics, with President Trump first dissing 

our democratic partners in the G7 alliance and our military allies in NATO, then 

publicly shaming the prime minister of Great Britain, and finally taking sides with 

Russian President Vladimir Putin over his own national security apparatus on the issue 

of interference in the 2016 election — targeted, state-sponsored cyber meddling which 

appears to still be at play in the upcoming midterm elections. 

The president’s outright dismissal of Russian tampering, in an election which 

Trump did not fail to remind he legitimately won, caused outrage among even his most 

slavishly loyal Republican allies in both houses of Congress. That’s because it wasn’t 

that long ago that the Russians were our mortal enemies, first as the Soviet Union and 

then the democratic Russian Federation following the fall of the USSR in 1991. 

This perception of the Federation being a kleptocracy, where billionaire oligarchs 

rule like mafia dons, blossomed under Putin, a former lieutenant colonel with the KGB, 

the intelligence agency of the communist regime. 

Today, Putin is starting his fourth term as president, He was first elected in 2000 and 

again in 2004. In 2008 he was appointed prime minister by his former prime minister 

and presidential replacement Dmitry Medvedev (in what came to be known as a 

tandemocracy or diarchy) until 2012, when Putin won a third term as president. The 

previous year, presidential terms were extended from four to six years, and having won 

re-election in March, Putin will mark 20 years as president in 2024. 

Certainly under Putin’s regime, one in which he is viewed as the chief kleptocrat, the 

Tony Soprano of Russian politics, few American policymakers have viewed Russia as a 

viable economic or military partner, as President Trump seems to believe is possible. 

But while some suspect that some type of personal enrichment or other foul play 

on Trump’s part is afoot in the president’s overtures to Putin, others say something 

is better than nothing. That’s primarily because both countries — now with Russia 

moving further away from its once democratic form of government and Trump 

shamelessly kowtowing to a virtual dictator known for killing journalists and political 

opponents — are still pointing nuclear weapons at one another. One wrong move by 

either side, for whatever reason, could mean the end of civilization as we know it. 

Presently, of the eight nations possessing nuclear arms, the US and Russia control 

13,400 of 14,290 — 90 percent — of those weapons, according to the Arms Control 

Association (armscontrol.org). 

In an open letter published last week, The Nation magazine pleaded with leaders of 

both countries to find “Common Ground,” the title of the missive. 

“Whatever the truth of varied charges that Russia interfered with the election, there 

should be no doubt that America’s digital-age infrastructure for the electoral process is 

in urgent need of protection,” states the letter, signed by such figures as the Rev. William 

Barber II; author and activist Noam Chomsky; former Nixon White House Counsel John 

Dean; feminist and author Gloria Steinem; Nobel Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh 

Nguyen; writer and national coordinator of RootsAction.org Norman Solomon; former 

Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder; and former US ambassador to the UN and former 

governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson. 

There is no question, the letter continues, “We must fortify our election system 

against unlawful intrusions as well as official policies of voter suppression. … At 

the same time, the US and Russian governments show numerous signs of being on 

a collision course. Diplomacy has given way to hostility and reciprocal consular 

expulsions, along with dozens of near-miss military encounters in Syria and in skies 

above Europe. Both sides are plunging ahead with major new weapons-development 

programs.” 

Just one day prior to Trump’s arrival in Helsinki, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 

office announced 12 Russian military intelligence personnel had been indicted in 

connection with election tampering in 2016, an alleged attack that some have said could 

be construed as an act of war. 

“The United States should implement a pronounced shift in its approach toward 

Russia. ... Concrete steps can and must be taken to ease tensions between the nuclear 

superpowers,” the letter concludes. 

One of the reasons why Sam Husseini, a contributor to The Nation, said he attended 

the Trump-Putin meeting in Helsinki last week was to ask questions about what is 

being done by the two leaders to curb the threat to humanity posed by the nuclear 

weapons they possess. 

“Instead, I was dragged out of their press conference before it even began and into a 

Finnish jail,” Husseini, a senior analyst with the Institute for Public Accuracy, wrote in 

an article for The Nation. 

Whatever happens in the Justice Department’s investigation of election tampering in 

2016, let’s hope relations between the two superpowers do not degenerate to the point 

that answers to Husseini’s questions would be rendered moot by nuclear war. ■

FOR NEW WAYS TO FIGHT 

RISING OPIOID OVERDOSES 


COUNCIL PLACES SALES TAX HIKE ON NOVEMBER BALLOT; 

CHAMBER HEAD SAYS IT COULD HURT BUSINESS 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

The Pasadena City Council voted unanimously to place a 

three-quarter cent sales tax increase on the November ballot 

that could raise millions of dollars to maintain city services 

and potentially save the local school district, which is currently 

teetering on the brink of fiscal insolvency. 

The Pasadena Infrastructure/Community Essential Services 

Protection Measure could generate $21 million a year for 

essential services, including public safety, according to a city 

staff report on the measure. 

Mayor Terry Tornek called for the tax increase earlier this 

year, saying he wanted to turn over one-third of those funds to 

the Pasadena Unified School District. 

The district would get that help through a second measure 

that would ask voters to decide if the city should prioritize 

assisting the school district. 

“All we are doing tonight is asking the voters, ‘Are you 

interested in this?’” said Councilman John Kennedy. “We have got 

to do something.” 

City expenses will exceed revenue by $3.5 million next year. 

In 2017, the city took in $237 million in revenue, with more than 

$100 million going to public safety. 

If the measure passes, the city’s sales tax would rise from 9.5 

Los Angeles County 

Sheriff Jim McDonnell 

called on new approaches 

to deal with 

rising opioid abuse. 

“I think we all recognize 

we are simply not 

going to arrest our way 

out of this problem,” 

Sheriff Jim McDonnell 

said last Wednesday Jim McDonnell 

while speaking to a 

group of law enforcement offi cials. 

“Law enforcement tried that in the 1980s 

when we experienced the flood of crack 

cocaine into our communities, and we ended 

up with crowded jails but not a lot of reduction 

in drug use.” McDonnell said. 

According to the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate of 

overdose deaths jumped by as much as 20 

percent in 2017, resulting in more than 175 

drug overdoses per day across the country. 

The crisis has gotten so bad in some 

states that health offi cials have trained 

civilians on how to handle an overdose and 

provide them with overdose kits. 

In Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco, 

library employees either have been 

trained or are set to learn how to use the 

drug naloxone to help reverse overdoses. 

The drug is available without a prescription 

at CVS pharmacies throughout California, 

including Pasadena. 

“I believe it starts with education and 

awareness,” McDonnell said. 

In 2017, McDonnell issued more than 

1,200 doses of the anti-opioid medication to 

deputy personnel at three patrol stations and 

two bureaus as part of the intervention pilot 

program. 

In March, Congresswoman Judy Chu 

(D-Pasadena) told an audience at Pasadena 

City College that the crisis has arrived in 

California. 

Chu has authored the Ensuring Access 

to Quality Sober Living Act. The bill would 

authorize the Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

to develop best practices for sober living 

facilities. 

“With the alarming rate of overdose 

fatalities related to illegal consumption and 

accidental exposure, the risk is too great not 

to consider other options to curb the tide of 

abuse,” McDonnell said.

GOOD MEDICINE 

NEW URGENT CARE FACILITY 

OFFERS ER-LEVEL CARE 


A new walk-in facility in East Pasadena is offering both 

emergency and urgent care medical services to those with 

and without insurance. 

The aptly named More Than Urgent Care opened on July 18 at 3160 E. Del 

Mar Blvd., 

More Than Urgent Care is one of California’s fastest-growing privately owned 

emergency room alternatives staffed by emergency room physicians. X-rays, intravenous 

work, splinting and laceration treatment is available onsite, along with diagnostic 

testing — more service than a typical urgent care. 

According to its website, Exer accepts all PPO insurance plans, some HMO plans, 

and is affordable for patients without insurance. 

The group also has facilities in Calabasas, Northridge, Beverly Hills, Newbury 

Park, Sherman Oaks, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Stevenson Ranch. 

Each facility, according to the operation’s press materials, can handle 80 percent 

of cases seen daily in a local emergency room for a fraction of the time and cost. 

The group will work with Huntington Hospital help to ease the strain on local firstresponders. 

There are currently three urgent care facilities in Pasadena. 

“Across California, nearly one-third of all visits to hospital emergency departments 

are not true emergencies,” according to Exer spokeswoman Stephanie 

Cardenas. “As a result, hospitals are fi nding new ways to help patients 

access the care they need with the least amount of waiting. Exer was founded 

with a vision that some patients who are receiving care in an emergency room 

could be better served in a more convenient, high-quality and affordable urgent 

care environment.” 

Mayor Terry Tornek and Vice Mayor John Kennedy were scheduled to attend the 

opening of the facility. Representatives from the office of state Sen. Anthony Portantino, 

D-Pasadena, were also expected to attend. 

“By working in partnership with Huntington Hospital, Exer’s More Than 

Urgent Care is leading a movement in health care to bring emergency medicine 

directly into more communities to help people access the care they want, when 

they need it most, while easing the strain on local emergency departments,” 

said Cardenas. ■ 

SHADY SUBJECT 

CITY TO HOLD MEETING ON FICUS 

TREES ON GREEN STREET 


Pasadena offi cials will conduct a community meeting 

at 6 p.m. July 25 at the Pasadena Public Library, 

Central Branch, to determine whether the city should 

continue to plant fi cus trees on Green Street. 

“Ficus trees provide a multitude of benefi ts for 

Lisa Derderian 

the city, but also pose unique challenges and maintenance costs that will be 

discussed at this meeting,” said Pasadena Public Information Offi cer Lisa 

Derderian. 

According to Derderian, feedback gathered through the community meeting 

and a survey will not result in the removal of any healthy trees. 

Ficus trees have sparked debates in several communities, including 

Burbank, Los Angeles and Seal Beach. 

Many Los Angeles County cities planted the large, fast-growing species 

decades ago because they provided shade on sidewalks and in parking lots. But, 

as time passed, the roots of those trees began buckling sidewalks and leaving 

debris on nearby buildings, leading to complaints by property owners. 

In 2016, three fi cus trees were cut down as part of a settlement agreement 

between the city and Beverly Hills-based Rodeo Holdings, LLC, owners of the 

building at 427 S. Lake Ave., where the trees were located. 

Rodeo Holdings claimed the trees had not been properly maintained by 

the city, resulting in debris which clogged storm drains and accumulated on 

sidewalks. They also said the large trees obstructed the view of the building 

which affected the ability to rent the property. The property owners further 

claimed that the damaged sidewalks could lead to a slip-and-fall lawsuit. The 

city initially denied the request, but after the property owners provided reports 

detailing the existing damage to the building and the sidewalk and an estimate 

of pending damages, the city agreed to remove the trees. 

This isn’t the fi rst time that plans to cut down trees have resulted in a public 

outcry. In 2009, dozens of people attended City Council meetings to criticize 

a 1996 streetscape plan that involved repairing damaged sidewalks along 

portions of Colorado Boulevard in the city’s Playhouse District. 

Thirteen fi cus trees and 20 carrotwood trees on Colorado between Los 

Robles to Lake avenues were removed despite public protest. 

Public input may also be submitted through a survey available here: https:// 

ww5.cityofpasadena.net/main/fi cus-tree-meeting/

to 10.25 percent, which concerns the Chamber of 

Commerce. 

“Those who sell high-end and expensive items 

may be priced out of a very competitive market, 

especially for automobiles, computers and 

appliances,” wrote chamber CEO and President 

Paul Little. “If you tax these items to a point where 

our sellers are not competitive, you may also reduce 

tax revenues to the city. If it appears that I can save 

a few hundred dollars or more by purchasing a car 

20 miles away, why wouldn’t I do that?” 

Little said the Chamber of Commerce has not yet 

made a decision on supporting the tax increase. 

According to the wording of the measure, 

the tax increase would “maintain essential 

city of Pasadena services such as fire, police, 

paramedics, emergency service/response times; 

keep fire stations open; improve neighborhood and 

school safety; repair streets/sidewalks; address 

homelessness; maintain after-school programs/ 

senior services, and other general fund services 

by establishing a [three-quarter cent] sales tax 

providing approximately $21 million annually until 

ended by voters; requiring audits and all funds 

locally controlled.” 

If the measure passes, Pasadena would be 

among cities imposing the highest local sales tax 

rates in the nation. 

Other residents also were concerned about 

raising the sales tax and giving money to the school 

district. 

“I draw the line at an increase in sales tax,” 

wrote Mary Foltyn. “The city should be earning 

from the Rose Parade, the Rose Bowl games, hotels, 

conventions, concerts, etc.” 

The city has rejected potential revenue builders 

over the past several years, including the NFL 

temporarily playing in the Rose Bowl, a move that 

could have generated millions of dollars per year. 

The measure also connects the tax increase 

to local schools and asks voters prioritize a big 

portion of the money to the school district with 

an “accessory” measure that reads: “If Pasadena 

voters approve a local sales tax measure, should 

the city use [two-thirds] of the measure’s annual 

revenue to maintain essential city of Pasadena 

services such as fire, police, paramedics, emergency 

service/response times; keep fire stations open; 

improve neighborhood and school safety; repair 

streets/sidewalks; address homelessness; maintain 

after-school programs/senior services; with the 

remaining [one-third] of the measure’s revenue 

going to support Pasadena public schools?” 

The school district could be $12 million in debt 

in two years which could force another round of 

school closures and layoffs. 

Earlier this year the Los Angeles County Office 

of Education (LACOE) warned the district, that 

they would be forced to take over if district officials

could not make the necessary cuts. 

The district faces a $3 million budget deficit for 

the 2019-20 school year, and a $12 million shortfall 

for 2020-21. 

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. 

Despite the precarious situations, local residents 

were not enthusiastic about raising taxes to help 

the schools. 

According to a city survey, most residents 

considered using the money for first responders 

as the top priority. Addressing homelessness, 

repairing local streets and roads and maintaining 

vital health services were also prioritized ahead of 

supporting quality neighborhood schools, followed 

by improving local math, reading and science 

programs and sustaining afterschool and summer 

youth programs. 

“The PUSD pleads that it really needs more 

money,” wrote Cliff Cates. “But the district plea 

reminds me of the boy who, having just been 

convicted of murdering his parents, pleads for 

money on the [grounds] that he is now an orphan. 

If the city were to give the district more money 

without first demanding real reforms first, why 

should it expect a different result this time 

around?” 

Tornek first called on the increase during 

January’s annual State of the City Speech in which 

he called the tax increase the “Big Ask” after telling 

the audience he had tried telling people the day 

was coming when the city would no longer be able 

to rely on its current sources of revenue to pay its 

bills. 

According to the city staff report, some of the 

basic needs include: upgrading fire stations to 

current operational and safety standards, replacing 

obsolete 911 emergency response communications, 

replacing 17,000 street lights on old, failing highvoltage 

circuits to safer, more reliable low-voltage 

circuits and repairing more than 670,000 square feet 

of damaged sidewalk. 

More than 4,000 curb ramps will be redone 

in compliance with Americans with Disabilities 

Act standards and aging libraries, community 

centers, bridges and emergency shelters will also be 

upgraded. 

In recent years, Pasadena residents have voted 

in favor of four half-cent tax increases and one 

quarter-cent county tax increase. 

“Another major benefit of adopting a local 

sales tax is that it will ensure that all funds are 

controlled and spent locally,” the city’s staff report 

states. ■

Dennis Quaid has brought a lovably roguish charm to the big and small 

screen for the past 40 years, with roles in countless popular films ranging 

from “The Right Stuff” and “Innerspace” through his famed turn as 

Jerry Lee Lewis in “Great Balls of Fire” to “The Rookie” and this year’s 

surprise smash Christian-themed hit “I Can Only Imagine.” He’s gone 

from being a legendary Hollywood wild man throughout the ‘80s to sobriety in 

the ‘90s and beyond, rediscovering the importance his devout Christian faith 

held in his life along the way. 

But aside from staying busy acting, Quaid has developed his passion for 

music into a second career, touring nationwide this summer with his rock band 

The Sharks. Blending classic-rock covers with electrifying originals to create a 

night of freewheeling fun, the group will be backing him at a Saturday stop at 

The Rose nightclub in Pasadena. 

“We started the band on Halloween night in 2000,” he recalls. “Three months 

before, I’d gone to the Mint nightclub here in LA to see Harry Dean Stanton, an 

old friend of mine. Jamie James was playing with him, along with most of the 

rest of the band I have now. I did a couple songs with them and kept going with 

it. I got Harry Dean’s blessing and went for it. 

“Over the last year, we’ve recorded 27 tracks with [Grammy-winning megaproducer] 

T-Bone Burnett,” adds Quaid. “We’re in the process now of negotiating 

record deals. We wanna do a vinyl, a real record, not just something just to have. 

Six covers and the rest originals. We’ll probably put out 10 songs on vinyl, then 

we’ll find what record company wants to do it.” 

A native of Houston, the 64-year-old Quaid grew up as the son of a real estate 

agent mother and electrician father, with his brother Randy also growing up 

to be an actor in numerous films including the “Vacation” series. His big break 

came in 1979 with a key role in the Best Picture-nominated classic “Breaking 

Away,” and his stardom was solidified when he played astronaut Gordon Cooper 

in 1983’s space-program biopic “The Right Stuff.” 

From there, he began a career that has given him consistent starring roles 

and solid reviews despite having only one blockbuster — 2004’s “The Day After 

Tomorrow” — along the way. Yet his sly grin and Everyman charm have earned 

him the loyalty of Hollywood, even as he successfully battled cocaine addiction 

and anorexia nervosa in the 1990s and the near-loss of his infant twins due to 



SWIMMING UPSTAGE 


medical malpractice a decade ago. 

With his career morphing from leading-man to supporting roles, Quaid decided 

it was time to give music a bigger piece of his time. He had managed to learn how to 

play piano like the legendary Lewis over the course of just a year while prepping for 

“Great Balls of Fire” three decades ago, and found he could open more doors through 

his many friendships with other artists. 

“I’ve had such a lucky life with who I’ve had a musical education with,” says 

Quaid. “From Jerry Lee to Bob Seger to Cowboy Jack Clement, the original engineer 

at Sun Studios. I just had really great people, like a classic Cajun fiddle player, and 

Harry Dean Stanton, and I wrote the song “Closer to You” for ‘The Big Easy’ because 

I met the Neville Brothers while filming that in New Orleans. 

“I had a band in the ’80s called The Eclectics, which was Bonnie Raitt’s band,” 

adds Quaid. “The night we got our record deal, we broke up, just like that movie ‘The 

Commitments.’ Next day, I was in drug rehab and the band just split up. I’ve been 

playing and writing since I was 12. I’m not a lead, I’m a rhythm guitar player. It’s all 

about getting the girls, ya know.” 

Quaid is thrilled with getting to focus on his music, noting “I’ve got more fire in 

my belly now than I did in my 20s. We’re going to be the oldest band to make it in 

rock and roll.” Playing nearly 40 shows on the current tour, he is digging deep into 

his musical memories as the band plays “about 25 percent covers and 75 percent 

originals,” drawing from his youthful favorites like Hank Williams, Elvis, Buddy 

Holly and the Beatles for the oldies selections in the shows. 

“You won’t know sometimes if it’s an original or not but what we offer out is a 

good time,” says Quaid. “Everyone has a good time. The audiences paid their money, 

and went to the trouble of buying a ticket. We do a very high-powered show. We get 

people up and moving.” 

On the movie front, Quaid is getting ready to play Ronald Reagan in the upcoming 

biopic “Reagan,” which is slated to hit theaters next summer. He notes that the film 

tells the story of the former president’s entire life rather than focusing on his presidential 

career, and is unconcerned about liberal Hollywood backlash for portraying 

the conservative icon. 

“It’s not a political movie, it’s about him,” says Quaid. “He was a very interesting 

person. He did great things. He ended the Cold War and made Americans feel good 

about the nation after Watergate. Yet he was also inscrutable, having a sunny disposition 

but hard to figure out. 

“There’s no hassle for me in Hollywood, and people let me do my thing,” he adds. 

“I really get bored hearing actors spout their political views, If actors wanna talk 

about their champagne problems, that’s fine. I’m tolerant of everyone.”. ■ 

Dennis Quaid and the Sharks play at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Rose, 245 E. Green St., Pasadena. 

Tickets are $28 to $58. Call (888) 645-5006 or visit wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com.

Happily Captured 

ONCE LURED IN YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE TRAP FRIED CHICKEN 

BY SIMONE DUPUY | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

Pop art and street-style typography adorn walls encased 

by iron grating and some sprouting vegetation. Out on the 

sidewalk, people walk dogs and jog by beneath strings of 

naked bulbs marking what would otherwise be an anonymous 

chicken spot. The order-at-the-window situation and outdooronly 

seating here give a sense of greasy spoon authenticity, but 

the place is hip and spotless. Even just waiting for our food to 

arrive, we knew Trap Fried Chicken was going to be a winner. 

And wait we did. An order here could take 15 minutes or 

upwards of a half-hour, depending on the flow of business. 

A Disneyland-esque sign at the register gives an estimated 

wait time “from this point,” but, as they say, you can’t rush 

perfection. Given the truly beautiful — both culinary and visual 

— sandwiches presented to us, it was well worth the modest 

wait. If the public is willing to stand at Howlin’ Ray’s for an hour 

before even ordering, they can and should be able to do half that 

for the beauty that is Trap Fried Chicken. 

The menu at Trap is simple: sliders (mild, hot or xxx hot), 

fries, grilled corn, mac and cheese. There is a secret menu of 

sorts, but we’ll get to that later. First order of business: sliders. 

Every variety. Size-wise, slider is an understatement. Contentwise, 

everything is an understatement. The mesmerizingly flaky, 

golden hunks of chicken hulking over the buns were so beautiful 

I thought I was looking at a high-def shot of cinematography a 

la “Chef’s Table.” It was visual perfection, and a taste showed 

no evidence to the contrary. A perfectly airy, crispy exterior 

yielded to juicy white meat full of unadulterated fatty chicken

HAPPILY CAPTURED 


flavor. I feared upon first glance that the buns were 

a bit burnt, but they were toasted just right to stand 

up to the load of slaw, sauce, pickles and chicken. I 

could have gone for a few more pickles, but that’s just 

pickle-loving me. 

Let it be known that it is the sauce, not the 

chicken itself, which determines the spice level of 

each sandwich. So, if you … chicken out … as it 

were, you can still enjoy your crispy, juicy meat with 

some meticulous scraping. This said, I’d recommend 

starting with a mild slider, regardless. A hint of spice 

and whisper of chili flavor still come through, and 

you can always ask for a little cup of the fiery stuff 

on the side. The deal is two sliders for $12, though, 

so feel free to go caliente for your second if you’re up 

for it. Trap has not fallen victim to spice fetishism 

and buzzwords like “ghost pepper” and “nine million 

Scovilles.” The heat is thoughtful and flavorful, 

peppery and roasty. Be warned, the heat does build 

with each mouthful, so trying a bite of your pal’s xxx 

hot isn’t enough to know whether or not you can take 

it. This is for the intersection of thrill-seekers and 

flavor hunters. To me, a bit of honey drizzled over a 

hot slider was perfection, but enjoy the spice at your 

own risk. 

Alongside our sammies, we gave in to the 

temptation of fries and mac and cheese, two things 

which are pretty much impossible to get wrong and 

are always welcome comfort foods. Needless to 

say, they did not disappoint. Gluttonously goopy, 

cheese-drenched noodles topped with breadcrumbs 

were enjoyed both by the spoonful and shamelessly 

dolloped onto bites of slider. A hefty bucket of curly 

fries came seasoned, piping hot and ultra-crispy. 

Normally I’m the person poking around for the welldone 

fries to crunch on, but these were all equally 

delectable. When your only ingredients are potatoes 

and hot oil, consistency of texture is key. The 

perfection of the chicken implied the Trap kitchen 

was a hotbed of fryer perfectionists, but it was still 

nice to have that notion reinforced with such gusto. 

Everything at Trap Fried Chicken was so good, I 

wanted only to put it all in my body at once. Luckily, 

there’s a way to do that. Steve’s Fries are a secret 

menu item which is essentially just the menu in its 

entirety in a fry basket: a layer of fries topped with 

mac, two hunks of that irresistible chicken and 

house sauce. I’d personally request some pickles to 

top it off and a little slaw on the side. Any way you 

take it, it beats animal style fries at the In-N-Out 

down the street by a long shot. 

You can have your food on the patio of sorts 

— a fun environment full of artwork and fellow 

Trap lovers bouncing along to Cardi B over 

the PA — or take it to go in a brown paper bag 

charmingly decorated with your name in the Trapstyle 

typography. The environment at the joint is 

enjoyable, but do not fear taking Trap to go; my 

brother and I found that the chicken retained its 

robust crunch even after mingling with slaw and 

sauce for an hour (the amount of time it took for 

us to overcome our immense fullness and stuff the 

leftovers into our faces). 

Next time you’re considering the colonel, do 

better. You deserve it. Trap Fried Chicken is here 

for you. I hope and believe they will be for a long 

time. At just barely a month old, Trap is serving up 

perfection, and there’s nowhere to go but up.

CAREFUL 

WHAT YOU 

WISH FOR 

UGLY DUCKLING-TURNED-BEAUTIFUL 

SWAN HAS TROUBLE MAKING THE 

EMOTIONAL TRANSITION 

Dear Patti, 

For as long as I can remember, I was always unattractive. As a young girl I was 

super-skinny, awkward and gangly with really long arms and legs. I had braces and 

glasses. Up through junior high I was flat-chested and taller than all the boys. I also 

had three brothers who’d tease me if I wore a dress so I didn’t feel comfortable looking 

feminine. I never dated in high school. When I wasn’t ridiculed, I was ignored. I buried 

myself in my studies. I loved animals and science and eventually became a veterinarian. 

I now have a great career. I’m 5’10 and leggy with long blond hair and breast 

implants. People tell me I’m gorgeous and should be a model. Guys always compliment 

and flirt with me. Yet even though I smile and am nice, I feel uncomfortable. I feel 

better around animals. I’m finally getting what I’ve always wanted and can’t enjoy it. I 

don’t like attention and letting anyone get too close. When I look in the mirror, I cringe 

because I still see a bony girl who’s fake. I deeply desire being with people but I still feel 

ashamed and ugly and close myself off. 

— Kate 

Dear Kate, 

In Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling,” a duckling was teased and chased 

for being different-looking. One day he finally saw his reflection in the water and realized 

he was no longer a clumsy, oversized bird but, instead, a magnificent swan. You’ve become 

that swan and yet still feel like an ugly duckling. You’re reacting to past social trauma and, 

therefore, unable to enjoy the present. No matter how physically beautiful you are or how 

wonderful you might be, you’re still trapped in that former image and emotionally crippled 

by painful childhood memories. 

Not only are you stuck in the past regarding your image, but you continue to project onto 

people in your present life the cruelty of those preceding them. Someone might see you 

and feel nothing but warmth and goodness, yet you automatically defend yourself against 

potential negativity. Unfortunately, projection such as this can occur after abuse or neglect 

during childhood. 

I recommend professional counseling where you can face and repair the painful, angry 

emotions you’ve pushed aside and freely talk about your feelings concerning your social life 

and self-image. The hurt has created a wall so you’re unable to trust and be open to others. 

The anger you feel is directed inward instead of toward those you’re really angry at and, 

regretfully, you’re treating yourself the way kids treated you in school; specifically, shaming 

yourself and calling yourself fake. As you emotionally work through these feelings, they’ll 

intrude on you less and less. 

Visualize the person you love most in the world standing before you. No matter how 

beautiful, intelligent or special this person appears to you, s/he still ends up feeling 

insecure and alone. Would you coldly and insistently criticize and point out your loved 

one’s inferior traits (both real and historical)? Would you withhold encouragement and 

support? Of course not! Sadly, though, it has become routine for you talk to yourself that 

way and respond to an inner dialogue that’s extremely damaging to your self-esteem. 

Confidence is about developing a healthy, supportive inner voice instead of a harsh, critical 

one. 

Here’s a homework assignment. Spend 10 minutes a day being loving to yourself just the 

way you would to a friend. Keep two diaries respectively labeled “Past” and “Present.” In the 

book labeled Past, explore the agonizing memories of youth you’ve been unable to shed. Explore 

the loneliness/outrage at how you were mistreated. In the book labeled Present, you’re 

not allowed to project feelings from your past. Start over; it’s time for a rebirth. 

Each day write at least five compliments/supportive statements toward yourself. Write 

down five small actions you’ll commit to doing that will connect you with others, even 

things as simple as, “I’ll make eye contact and smile at three colleagues.” Stretch beyond 

your current way of relating. When you’re with others and unsure what to say, shift the focus 

and give them your attention. By expressing interest in them, you’ll become interesting 

yourself. 

Now that you’re an adult, learn to treat yourself differently. Heal these memories and get 

on with the life you deserve. ■

PASADENA PLAYHOUSE BRINGS INNOVATIVE NEW APPROACH TO KIPLING’S ‘JUNGLE BOOK’ 

P.22 


Rudyard Kipling’s collection of stories “The Jungle Book” has been 

enchanting readers of all ages ever since it was first published in 

1894, although most modern-day audiences are more familiar with 

the 1967 Disney animated film version or the stunning CGI-heavy liveaction 

film the Mouse House released two years ago. But the Pasadena 

Playhouse hopes to change that with its latest production, a stage version 

of “Jungle Book” that combines eye-popping video and interactive 

technology with the whimsical and soulful stories and poems from the 

original novel. 

The production employs a rich soundscape, immersive multimedia, 

inventive puppetry and a variety of new and traditional theatrical traditions 

to transport audiences to the world’s jungles. The stories are set 

in India, where Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear are the prime 

animals, and the principal human is the boy or “man-cub” Mowgli. 

“It’s not a musical, but a play with some songs in it,” says Craig 

Francis, who co-wrote, co-directed and co-created the show with Rick 

Miller. “What my co-writer and I did was go back to Kipling’s writing, 

where there are poems and illustrated frontispieces before some of the 

chapters. We set some to music but I wouldn’t call it a musical, rather a 

play with some songs in it. 

“The Mowgli story is at its core but there are other stories throughout,” 

Francis continues. “We also follow Mowgli going back into town.

Jungle Book circa 1942. 

He ultimately was banished from the jungle, but isn’t 

human enough for the town and gets banished from 

the town. There’s an interesting through-line for kids to 

relate to having families in one place and another place 

and which are you loyal to with dispersed families and 

divorce? All the questions are asked in a good coming of 

age story.” 

This iteration of “Jungle Book” is a nearly new production, 

with the Playhouse marking its first stop after its 

world premiere at the Asolo Theatre in Sarasota, Florida 

last month. The show is Francis and Miller’s follow-up to 

their hit 2015 adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic “20,000 

Leagues Under the Sea,” which also employed multimedia 

techniques throughout an extended tour across the 

United States and Canada, resulting in a rave review from 

The New York Times, which called it “magical, jaw-dropping, 

frisky, nifty and zesty.” 

Audiences over 50 are probably most familiar with 

this story through the 1967 Walt Disney adaptation, starring 

the voices of actor, singer and comedian Phil Harris 

as Baloo the Bear, English actor George Sanders as Shere 

Khan, the human-hating Bengal tiger, jazz great Louis 

Prima as King Louie, an orangutan who wants to be a human, 

and Sebastian Cabot as Bagheera, a black panther 

determined to save the life of Mowgli, the “man cub” 

raised by wolves, voiced by Bruce Reitherman. 

In 1994 Disney produced a live-action version of the 

story based on “The Jungle Book” and Rudyard Kipling’s 

sequel “The Second Jungle Book,” starring Jason Scott 

Lee as Mowgli, with Cary Elwes, Lena Headey, Sam, Neill 

and John Cleese. 

In 2016, Disney produced yet another version of 

Kipling’s works, only this time in a live-action CGI production, 

introducing Neel Sethi as Mowgli and featuring the 

voice talents of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, 

Lupita Nyong’o, Scarlett Johansson, Giancarlo Esposito, 

and Christopher Walken. 

A must-see independently produced Technicolor liveaction 

film version, “Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book,” was 

released in 1942, produced by Hungarian-born Alexander 

Korda, directed by his brother Zoltán and art directed by 

their brother Vincent. 

Francis and Miller are both leaders of the Canadianbased 

20K Collective, the team through which they produce 

all their shows. Miller was named by Entertainment 

Weekly as “one of the 100 most creative people alive today,” 

and also created and toured solo shows such as the 

hit sensation “BOOM” and “MacHomer” (which combined 

the sensibilities of “The Simpsons” with Shakespeare’s 

classic play “Macbeth”). 

Meanwhile, Francis illustrates the cartoons for 

Canada’s Kidoons Network, in addition to writing and 

voicing the characters. The videos are on display at 

museums in four provinces, with millions of views. He 

has co-developed performing arts software; created 

award-winning marketing designs and brands; illustrated 

several books; appeared as a comedian on CBC, CTV, and 

Showtime; and his voices can be heard in animated series 

and games. 

“We like to call our shows ‘big little shows,’ which are 

very stripped down and a stylized, four-person cast that 

plays 21 different human and animal characters,” says 

Francis. “How do you make an epic story with four actors 

and a non-Disney budget? We use really high-tech multimedia 

and immersive projection design, but also low-tech 

elements like shadow puppets and puppets on sticks and 

using hands for shadows on the wall. It’s quite different 

from treatment people have seen before.” ■ 

“Jungle Book” opens at 8 p.m. Thursday and runs through July 29 at the 

Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $20 to 

$44. Call (626)356-7529 or visit pasadenaplayhouse.org.

Sly Style 

JODI SIEGEL SPEAKS SOFTLY AND WIELDS A MEAN SLIDE AT WINE & SONG 

IN SOUTH PASADENA WEDNESDAY 

With her red hair and 

attention-getting slide 

guitar, Jodi Siegel 

regularly attracts comparisons 

to Bonnie Raitt. But the Chicagoraised 

Siegel, who visits Brad 

Colerick’s Wine & Song series 

Wednesday, brings her own sly 

style and finesse to music, even 

as she similarly melds blues, soul 

and pop. 

Raised in a musical family 

(her father, Sid Siegel, was a composer 

for industrial musicals), 

Siegel often incorporates mellow 

jazz into her playing too, perhaps 

as a result of years paying the 

bills playing three-hour cover 

gigs at restaurants and lounges. 

The performance chops she has 

developed as a result of that 

professional dues paying have 

earned her serious respect from 

peers, as has her songwriting. It’s 

undergirded by the bluesy soul 

that has defined her style since 

she first found her footing in the 

Southern California blues community 

in the late 1980s. Marcia 

Ball recorded Siegel’s “So Many 

Rivers to Cross” for her 2003 

album “So Many Rivers”; Teresa 

James, Maria Muldaur and Corey 

Stevens, among others, have 

also incorporated her emotionally 

intelligent songs into their 

repertoires. 

Scroll through the photo 

galleries on Siegel’s website and 

Facebook page, and you’ll find 

collegial shots of her smiling with 

friends like David Lindley, Steve 

Lukather and Leland Sklar — and 

hero Albert King, who looked on 

approvingly back when Siegel’s 

hair was shorter and more 

tightly curled, and she looked 

barely big enough to handle the 

archtopped Gibson she stared 

down at so intently. The rhythmically 

sophisticated style she has 

developed over the ensuing years 

is similarly focused on her guitar 

playing, which does the heavy 

emotional lifting. 

Onstage, Siegel is soft–spoken, 

but her lyrical wordplay is sharp. 

She’s inclined to slip “alternative 

political song” “More to Love” 

between audience-pleasing tunes 

from her 2007 album “Stepping 

Stone” like the slide-greased 

“Feels Like Home” or the Otis 

Redding-referencing “No Truer 

Words Were Ever Spoken,” letting 

understatement drive home her 

points. “Some folks ride the fence 

playing hard to get/ Indecisively 

politically correct/ Dodging confrontation 

’bout race or religion/ 

Backing out from any head-on 

collision,” she sings conversationally 

during “If You Don’t Stand 

for Something You’ll Fall for Anything,” 

a midtempo groover that 

insightfully singles out principles 

uniting lovers and politicians — 

and artists. “But it’s all the same 

in love and war/ You’ve got to be 

present to be accounted for.” ■

York Sings Dylan 

JOHN YORK RECAPTURES THE MAGIC OF 

BOB DYLAN AT COFFEE GALLERY 

John York, a former member of The Byrds, is uniquely poised to recapture the 

artistry of Bob Dylan, which he plans to do Friday at Coffee Gallery Backstage. 

The Byrds performed some of Dylan’s songs and carried on his folk-rock style in 

an electric format. In Friday’s concert, York performs a solo, acoustic concert of the 

troubadour/poet’s catalogue. 

Over the years, York’s vocal and instrumental prowess has kept him in good 

company. He’s performed with luminaries including Roger McGuinn, Barry McGuire, 

Gene Clark, Clarence White, Nicky Hopkins, Doug Sahm, Johnny Rivers, The Mamas 

and the Papas and a range of stars from the decade that produced the folk-rock sound. 

His rich, emotional voice does justice to the tunes that sparked the imagination of 

a generation. Visit johnyorkmusic.com. — John Sollenberger 

Music starts at 8 p.m. Friday at Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena. 

Tickets are $20. Call (626) 798-6236 or visit coffeegallery.com.

TRAX BY BLISS 

LORI MCKENNA, The Tree (CN/Thirty 

Tigers): ★★★★ 

The Grammy-winning songwriter and mom of five 

has remained rooted in suburban Massachusetts 

while composing hits for Little Big Town (“Girl 

Crush”) and Tim McGraw (“Humble & Kind”), 

among others. Opening her 11th solo release with 

the insightful, unpretentiously sung “A Mother 

Never Rests,” she wraps with heartfelt credo 

“Like Patsy Would” (“I wanna write it down like 

Hemingway/ Like it’s the last damn thing I’ll ever 

say/ And try to sing it like Patsy would”) — a 

fitting cap to a simply produced (by Dave Cobb) 

set of hummable gems (“You Won’t Even Know 

I’m Gone,” “The Lot Behind St. Mary’s”) of learned 

wisdom. lorimckenna.com 

JON CLEARY, Dyna-Mite (FHQ/Thirty 

Tigers): ★★★ 

The New Orleans fixture and erstwhile Bonnie Raitt 

keyboardist returns with more “Big Greasy” grooves 

— tempered with smoother R&B ballads like “Skin 

in the Game” (an inviting showcase for his raspy 

vocal) and “21st Century Gypsy Singing Lover 

Man” (the latter co-written with Taj Mahal). The 

yearning piano lament “Frenchmen Street Blues” is 

a highlight, though more celebrations like “All Good 

Things” would be welcome. They’re linked by deep 

musicianship and an overarching message: Hard 

times may be an enduring fact of life, but so’s the 

music created to alleviate them. joncleary.com

ELLE BELLE, No Signal (Little Record 

Company): ★★★★ 

LA artist Christopher Pappas gives an intelligent 

spin to the “breakup record” concept; the ex he 

cries he “can’t love anymore” during “The Witch 

is Burning” isn’t a lover, but politics. Composed 

after 2016’s election, the nine New Wave-flavored 

tracks dance through stages of grief. Pappas’ 

arrangements and harmonic balance make his 

dark synth-pop engagingly listenable, whether 

he’s buoying cynicism with hooks (“Nothing New 

Under the Sun”) or grimly acknowledging “The Real 

World”: “Get your money/ People were dying/ All we 

did was stop and stare/ Now it seems so silly/ But I 

guess you had to be there.” ellebellemusic.com 

HAWKS AND DOVES, From a White Hotel 

(Jullian): ★★★½ 

After several years of rough luck (including prison) 

caused by stunningly bad, drug-addled choices, 

gravel-voiced Portland troubadour Kasey Anderson 

returns with a roots-rock band that magnifies the 

throbbing pulse of his confessional songwriting. 

Friends like guitarist Eric Ambel, Blind Pilot organist 

Dave Jorgensen and late Tom Waits saxophonist 

Ralph Carney also season highlights like “Chasing 

the Sky,” “Lithium Blues,” “Every Once in a While” 

and “Get Low,” boosting the sense of a wayward 

soul’s homecoming. RIYL Steve Earle, Travis 

Meadows. At Love Song Bar in DTLA July 25.

All-American Fun 

THE BASEBALL RELIQUARY CELEBRATES TWO DECADES OF GOOFY HOMAGES TO 

BASEBALL SUNDAY AT THE PASADENA CENTRAL LIBRARY 

For the past two decades, Terry Cannon 

has been honoring some of the most 

colorful (and occasionally historic) 

fi gures from the world of baseball 

by inducting them in the Baseball 

Reliquary’s Shrine of the Eternals. 

The often-humorous alternative to the 

Baseball Hall of Fame will celebrate 

its 20th anniversary at 2 p.m. Sunday 

with an impressive lineup of guests at 

the Donald R. Wright Auditorium of the 

Pasadena Central Library, located at 

285 E, Walnut St., Pasadena. 

This year’s inductees are headed by 

legendary pitcher Tommy John, who 

racked up 288 victories in a storied 

career that included long-running stints 

with both the Los Angeles Dodgers 

and New York Yankees, among others. 

In keeping with the quirky nature of 

the Reliquary, however, John is also 

being honored for the fact that he had 

a groundbreaking ligament surgery 

named after him and is also the all-time 

major-league leader in pitching nodecision 

games, and he will be present 

to accept the honor. 

Also on the inductee lineup is Rusty 

Staub, one of the all-time great hitters 

in baseball, having achieved over 500 

hits with each of four different teams. 

He later went to be a broadcaster for 

the Mets, opened a successful New 

York restaurant and established two 

charitable foundations. Since Staub 

unfortunately passed away this spring, 

his honor will be accepted by his sister, 

Sally Johnston, on behalf of the Staub 

family. 


The third and most colorful inductee 

will be Nancy Faust, who was the 

most famous organist in baseball during 

her four-decade run playing for the 

Chicago White Sox from 1970 to 2010. 

Faust will be bringing her Hammond 

B3 organ to the ceremony, leading 

attendees in the National Anthem at the 

event’s opening and later performing a 

selection of her fi nest music after her 

induction. 

But the fun doesn’t stop there, 

as the ceremony will also feature an 

honorary bell ringing paying tribute 

to the late Brooklyn Dodgers fan Hilda 

Chester, with everyone in attendance 

encouraged to bring a bell to ring in an 

annual burst of cacophony. Chester’s 

memory will also be honored by being 

the namesake of the annual Hilda 

Award, which recognizes distinguished 

service to the game by a baseball fan. 

This year’s Hilda Award honoree 

is Bart Wilhelm, who has attended 

over 1,100 games in 270 different 

professional ballparks since 1984. 

The second presentation will be the 

Tony Salin Memorial Award, named in 

memory of the late baseball author and 

historian, and established to recognize 

individuals for their commitment to the 

preservation of baseball history. 

The 2018 Salin Award recipient, 

Ross Altman, has over the past 

30 years composed and performed 

musical tributes to many heroes of the 

national pastime, ranging from Lou 

Gehrig, Ted Williams, and Sandy Koufax 

to Shrine of the Eternals inductees 

Jackie Robinson, Jimmy Piersall, and 

Steve Bilko. 

Following the award presentations, 

the 2018 Keynote Address 

will be delivered by Dan Epstein, a 

Chicago-based journalist, historian, 

and raconteur. Epstein is the author 

of the acclaimed baseball books “Big 

Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride 

Through Baseball and America in the 

Swinging ‘70s” and “Stars and Strikes: 

Baseball and America in the Bicentennial 

Summer of ’76,” both of which 

examine baseball’s most colorful and 

tumultuous decade and its overlap with 

American popular culture. 

Following the Keynote Address, 

2011 Shrine inductee Ted Giannoulas 

(aka the San Diego Chicken) will offer 

his comments in celebration of the 20th 

anniversary festivities of the Shrine of 

the Eternals. 

Before and after the ceremony, attendees 

are invited to visit the Baseball 

Reliquary exhibition, “Shrine @ 20,” 

which is being presented through July 

30 in the display cases in the North Entrance, 

Humanities Wing, and Business 

Wing of the Pasadena Central Library. 

Included in the exhibition are all 57 

Shrine of the Eternals inductee plaques 

from 1999-2017. ■ 

The Shrine of the Eternals Induction Ceremony 

will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Donald 

R. Wright Auditorium of the Pasadena Central 

Library, 285 E. Walnut St., Pasadena. Admission 

is free. Call (626) 791-7647 or email 

Cannon at terymar@earthlink.net.

Drawn to a Voice 

BOSTON COURT PASADENA’S 14TH NEW PLAY READING FESTIVAL PRESENTS NEW 

WORKS BY FOUR WOMEN PLAYWRIGHTS WITH INTRIGUING STORIES TO TELL 

BY BLISS BOWEN 

Now in its 14th season, the New Play Reading 

Festival has helped Boston Court Pasadena create a 

distinctive niche for itself within Greater Pasadena’s 

theatrical community. Specifi cally, it has helped the 

nonprofi t position itself as not only a theater that 

re-imagines classics (e.g., its recent modern-day 

setting of Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named 

Desire”), but also as a home for plays and playwrights 

telling deep stories in unfamiliar ways. 

“We are actively looking to give a voice to 

people who don’t have a loud voice right now,” says 

Literary Manager Emilie Beck. “We do work that 

sort of defi es convention or expands it, or breaks 

it, or subverts it, or does something to the dramatic 

form that is surprising and inventive. Most plays are 

written very conventionally. That’s a broad definition, 

but it’s a narrow channel of work.” 

With regard to the festival, curated by Beck “in 

concert with” Boston Court’s two artistic directors, 

Jessica Kubzansky and Michael Michetti, that desire 

for fresh voices and forms has connected with a 

creative community hungry to be heard. This year’s 

festival attracted more than 230 submissions — 

over twice as many as last year. That number was 

gradually winnowed down across three to four 

phases of an intensive reading process. The plays 

ultimately chosen were Julie Hébert’s “Drunk at 

the Base of the Bodhi Tree,” E.M. Lewis’ “How the 

Light Gets In,” Nahal Navidar’s “Pairi Daiza,” and 

Kit Steinkellner’s “Ladies.” (Matthew Paul Olmos’ 

“Three Girls Never Learnt the Way Home” and 

Louisa Hill’s “The Chinese Lady Performs for Us” 

were also finalists.) 

Of that final four — all women — Hébert, Navidar 

and Steinkellner are based in Los Angeles. (Beck 

jokes that Lewis, who will be coming from Portland, 

was “grandmothered in” since she used to live in 

LA.) Did a greater proportion of female playwrights 

than usual submit their work for consideration in 

the year of #MeToo? Beck says she doesn’t know, 

but that Boston Court’s commitment to “diverse 

representation” leads to “a lot of submissions from 

female playwrights in general.” As for recurring 

themes in this year’s festival submissions, she cites 

abandonment as a strong focus of many of the 

plays that she and the team read, particularly abandonment 

of women by men. They also saw “many 

different interpretations” of the end of the world, as 

well as scenarios addressing war, sexual assault, 

suicide, and explorations of identity. 

Beck says that she, Kubzansky and Michetti all 

found themselves “drawn to these voices” despite 

not having established any shared goal. “We weren’t 

looking for this, but all of these plays turned out to 

be by women, and all of them turned out to have 

female protagonists, so clearly there was something 

in our collective unconsciousness that was craving 

that,” she says. “We don’t have a checklist, but 

there is something that makes a play compelling. 

Something where we suddenly sit up and say, ‘This 

is good storytelling. This is an idea we haven’t heard 

before.’” 

Even in synopsis form, the originality of the 

selected plays is notable. Navidar’s “Pairi Daiza,” 

directed by Jennifer Chambers, approaches themes 

of family, feminism, patriotism, love and self-determination 

via the intriguing perspective of a pregnant 

woman who chooses to remain a fi ghter in the Iran- 

Iraq war despite her imminent motherhood. Lewis’ 

“How the Light Gets In,” which Beck is directing, 

offers a personal story of a woman with breast 

cancer who perceives the “fl aw” in her body as “the 

place where we are allowed to become something 

even more beautiful and more interesting than what 

we were.” Steinkellner’s theatrical “Ladies,” directed 

by Michetti and set in the 1750s, concerns a group 

of women who create the Blue Stocking Society; 

the playwright is herself a character, portrayed at 

various points by each of the women. 

In contrast to previous festivals, this year each 

play is being workshopped first, which allows 

playwrights to more finely hone scripts and actors 

to dig into roles before they appear before festival 

audiences. Hébert’s play “Drunk at the Base of the 

Bodhi Tree,” directed by Kubzansky, is one that was 

submitted early in its development. 

“That’s partly what we’re excited about — the 

story feels raw,” Beck says. “It’s about women who 

are not society’s definitions of women to aspire to. 

They are totally different from one another, and they 

need something from each other and they don’t 

necessarily know what that is … it’s a relationship 

of survival, and it’s not an easy or recognizable 

story. There’s a poetry in it.” 

After “living with” the plays for months and 

witnessing their transformation in workshops, 

Beck is eager to see them shared with audiences by 

minimally staged actors with scripts in hand. 

“The audience is a huge piece of the equation 

when we do these reading series,” she says. 

“Because it’s only in front of an audience that you 

understand the conversation that the play is having 

with the world.” ■ 

The 14th Annual New Play Reading Festival at Boston Court 

Pasadena, 70 N. Mentor Ave., Pasadena, kicks off at 7 p.m. 

Thursday, July 19, with discussion of the development 

process and a Q&A with the playwrights, Emilie Beck, Jessica 

Kubzansky and Michael Michetti. A reading of E.M. Lewis’ 

“How the Light Gets In” will be given at 11 a.m. Saturday, 

July 21; a reading of Nahal Navidar’s “Pairi Daiza” will follow 

at 2 p.m. that day. Another discussion and Q&A with the 

playwrights, Emilie Beck, Jessica Kubzansky and Michael 

Michetti at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 26, will be followed by readings 

of Kit Steinkellner’s “Ladies” at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 

28, and Julie Hébert’s “Drunk at the Base of the Bodhi Tree” 

at 2 p.m. that same day. Tickets are free but reservations

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


‘Don’t Worry,’ 

This Is a Great Film 

JOAQUIN PHOENIX, JONAH HILL AND FILMMAKER GUS VAN SANT TEAM UP FOR THE OSCAR- 

WORTHY CALLAHAN BIOPIC ‘DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT’ 

John Callahan was a hopeless, Portland-based alcoholic, starting 

his days desperately trying to get the first drink that would keep 

his buzz going from the night before. Yet he managed to maintain 

a sly charm, both as a means of always scoring that next drink and 

to woo the next woman into bed with him. 

But when he became a quadriplegic after being the passenger 

in a tragic drunk-driving accident, Callahan’s life gradually and 

improbably changed for the better. He managed to achieve sobriety, 

and with little ability to do anything else, he started sketching out 

his darkly comic thoughts into single-panel, “New Yorker”-magazine 

style cartoons that reflected his view of the world and made him a 

controversial yet nationally-regarded media figure. 

His loopy life story forms the basis for the new film “Don’t Worry, 

He Won’t Get Far On Foot,” starring Joaquin Phoenix as Callahan 

and an almost unrecognizable Jonah Hill as his Alcoholics Anonymous 

group leader Donnie in what will surely stand as two of the 

best performances of the year. Directed by Gus Van Sant (“Good 

Will Hunting”), who often applies quirky aesthetic touches to his 

films, “Foot” mixes powerful scenes of sadness with profoundly 

uplifting moments that will surely test the tear ducts of its viewers 

with doses of humorous charm. 

The film opens on Callahan scrambling to a liquor store, hoping 

to avoid the shakes and pains that come with alcohol withdrawal, 

and Van Sant effectively building tension from the very beginning as 

he darts through traffic to get his fix fast. Those unfamiliar with the 

accident that changed his life will cringe with every swerving car, 

and the tension is ratcheted up when he goes out to party that night 

with a devilishly charming new acquaintance named Dexter (Jack 

Black at his trademark best). 

After pounding drinks for hours at parties, bars and strip clubs, 

the two pass out in Dexter’s car while driving home. Dexter walks 

away largely unscathed but disappears, while John finds himself in 

a long-term rehab center due to his new paralyzed state. Thinking 

his life is over, he finds hope in a counselor named Annu (Rooney 

Mara), who encourages him to find new purpose in his sobriety and 

wicked humor, which is manifested in cartoons that have a uniquely 

crude style due to his difficulty with drawing. 

A couple of examples are a cartoon in which an Old West posse 

finds an abandoned wheelchair in the desert and its leader says the 

film’s title line, and a picture of Jesus crucified on the cross while 

thinking “TGIF.” 

He found both success and controversy with his cartoons in 

the alternative newspaper Willamette Week, Callahan’s work also 

appeared in the Pasadena Weekly from 1989 to the late 1990s. He 

created two animated series that dealt with quadriplegia, the children’s 

show “Pelswick” and the darker HBO series “John Callahan’s 

Quads!” before his death in 2010 at age 59. 

Callahan has to overcome his immense, lifelong bitterness and 

insecurity over the fact that his mother abandoned him as an infant. 

This journey to forgive the people who have hurt him and seek forgiveness 

for those whom he has hurt while making his first grasps 

at faith in a Higher Power is both universally relatable and unforgettable. 

Aside from his broodingly intense Oscar-winning performance 

as Johnny Cash in 2005’s “Walk the Line,” Phoenix has built his career 

upon playing all manner of dark outsiders, but he’s never been 

more charming than here. He oozes sleazy charisma in his early 

drunk scenes, but when he starts to grow into being a better human 

being, it’s almost stunning to see Phoenix exude happiness and a 

sense of grace. 

He’s matched for excellence by Hill, who has developed into a 

daring, chameleonic young actor who racked up two Oscar nominations 

(for “Moneyball” and “The Wolf of Wall Street”) by the time 

he was 30. Hill veers wildly with nearly every film between being 

morbidly bloated and surprisingly thin, and combining a slender 

frame with a blonde-Jesus look as Donnie, he is utterly transformed. 

He and Callahan may have odd ways of finding a Higher Power (both 

jaded against a traditional sense of God, they focus on the murderous 

doll Chucky from the “Child’s Play” series of horror films), but 

the results of their quest are deeply touching. Add in Jack Black’s 

turn as Dexter, particularly a late-movie scene in which John offers 

him forgiveness, and you’ve got an acting trifecta that is a definite 

winner. 

Director Van Sant applies several intriguing ways for Callahan to 

relate his story: blending together scenes of him recounting memories 

in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, a speech before a group, 

creepily vague childhood memories and animations of his most 

outrageous cartoons as he shows a group of young teenage boys 

a sketchbook of his work. The effect draws viewers in on several 

levels and allows a deeper focus than a straightforward telling of his 

story would. 

As a result, “Foot” gets very far in making a mark as one of the 

year’s best films and a movie that will stand the test of time. ■ 

“DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT”: A 

SKYSCRAPER 

Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Neve Campbell 

Length: 103 minutes 

Directed by: Rawson Marshall Thurber 

Rating: PG-13 

Dwayne Johnson's latest blockbuster is a "Die 

Hard" ripoff that piles on the implausibilities, 

which make it both ludicrous and ridiculously 

fun. He's a former government agent who lost 

a leg in a showdown gone awry, and now has 

to save his family from a burning Hong Kong 

skyscraper that he's assigned to assess for 

insurance. Utterly implausible, yet everytime 

i wanted to give up on it, it reeled me back in. 

Grade:B 

EIGHTH GRADE 

Stars: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton 


Directed by: Bo Burnham 

Rating: R 

This intensely intimate dramedy sees life from 

the eyes and mind of an awkward girl enduring 

the travails of her last week in eighth grade. 

Elsie Fisher pulls off a performance for the 

ages and deserves an Oscar nomination as 

a girl fending off creepy boys, learning to be 

more loving to her single dad, and standing up 

for herself. Writer-director Bo Burnham has 

accomplished a masterpiece in his debut effort. 

Grade:A 

SICARIO: DAY OF THE 

SOLDADO 

Stars: Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro 


Directed by: Stefano Solima 

Rating: PG-13 

A perfect sequel to accompany 2015's brutal 

masterpiece about the battle of US border 

forces against Mexican drug cartels, this movie 

also features its costars at their macho best in 

an impressively twisty story about US plans to 

kidnap a drug lord's daughter and how they go 

awry. Smart, intense, and yet another winning 

script from Taylor Sheridan, who with these 

fi lms plus "Hell or High Water" and "Wind 

River" has proven himself the best thriller writer 

working today. Grade:A 

THREE IDENTICAL 

STRANGERS 

Stars: Eddie Galland, David Kellman, Robert 

Shafran 


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 fi rst, 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 

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

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding 

on this property lien, you should 

understand that there are risks involved 

in bidding at a trustee auction. 

You will be bidding on a lien, not on 

the property itself. Placing the highest 

bid at a trustee auction does not automatically 

entitle you to free and clear 

ownership of the property. You should 

also be aware that the lien being auctioned 

off may be a junior lien. If you 

are the highest bidder at the auction, 

you are or may be responsible for paying 

off all liens senior to the lien being 

auctioned off, before you can receive 

clear title to the property. You are encouraged 

to investigate the existence, 

priority, and size of outstanding liens 

that may exist on this property by contacting 

the county recorder’s offi ce or 

a title insurance company, either of 

which may charge you a fee for this 

information. If you consult either of 

these resources, you should be aware 

that the same lender may hold more 

than one mortgage or deed of trust on 

the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY 

OWNER: The sale date shown on this 

notice of sale may be postponed one 

or more times by the mortgagee, 

benefi ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant 

to Section 2924g of the California 

Civil Code. The law requires 

that information about trustee sale 

postponements be made available to 

you and to the public, as a courtesy 

to those not present at the sale. If you 

wish to learn whether your sale date 

has been postponed, and, if applicable, 

the rescheduled time and date 

for the sale of this property, you may 

call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet 

Web site www.nationwideposting. 

com, using the fi le number assigned 

to this case 18-00012. Information 

about postponements that are very 

short in duration or that occur close 

in time to the scheduled sale may not 

immediately be refl ected in the telephone 

information or on the Internet 

Web site. The best way to verify postponement 

information is to attend 

the scheduled sale. PLEASE TAKE 

NOTICE THAT if the Trustee is unable 

to convey title for any reason, the successful 

bidderís sole and exclusive 

remedy shall be return of monies paid 

to the Trustee, and the successful bidder 

shall have no further recourse. 

Further, if the foreclosure sale is set 

aside for any reason, the purchaser 

at the sale shall be entitled only to a 

return of the deposit paid and shall 

have no further recourse or remedy 

against the Mortgagor, Mortgagee, or 

Trustee herein. If you have previously 

been discharged in bankruptcy, you 

may have been release of personal 

liability for this loan in which case 

this notice is intended to exercise 

the note holderís rights against the 

real property only. As required by 

law, you are notifi ed that a negative 

credit reporting may be submitted 

to a credit report agency if you fail 

to fulfi ll the terms of your credit obligation.

including if the Trustee is unable to 

convey title, the Purchaser at the sale

monies paid to the Trustee. This shall 

be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive 

remedy. The purchaser shall have no 

further recourse against the Trustor, 

the Trustee, the Benefi ciary, the Benefi 

ciary’s Agent, or the Benefi ciary’s 

Attorney. If you have previously been 

discharged through bankruptcy, you 

may have been released of personal
