Wine properties destroyed

ALEXANDER VALLEY »
Sprinklers just weren’t
enough to save vines
By TYLER SILVY
AND MARY CALLAHAN
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
The Kincade fire, driven by
fierce winds, whipped through
choice vineyards and Sonoma
County Wine Country estates,
damaging or destroying some of
the region’s most valuable prop-
erty.
In the midst of the smoke and
haze that hung thick as the mer-
cury rose over the Alexander
Valley, Jackson Family Wines
scion Julia Jackson’s home,
and numerous buildings on the
Jackson Family estate, were de-
stroyed.
At least a half-dozen homes
— and more structures — were
destroyed in areas around High-
way 128, Red Winery Road and
Geysers Road.
By midday Thursday, smoke
still seeped from intact tree
trunks and fire crackled along
wooden fence lines. With winds
dead, sticky smoke clung above
its source material — buildings
that succumbed overnight.
The acrid smell hung rich in
the air, clashing with the leafy,
green and yellow rows of grape-
vines. Many vineyard owners,
even those who had already har-
vested, turned their sprinklers
on Wednesday night in an effort
to keep the wind-driven fire at
bay, Supervisor James Gore
said.
It wasn’t enough.
Gore toured the destruction
about noon, checking up on con-
stituents’ properties.

owners were among the wealth- TYLER SILVY / THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

uated Wednesday night. Banke
was on the phone with Gore as
he talked through the news: the
so-called Redwood House — the
one that served as a focal point
for entertaining — was gone.
So was Jackson’s house.
Gore said Banke’s demeanor
on the phone was somber.
“But also very focused on what
needed to happen to save other
houses on the ranch,” Gore said.
Banke’s private security team
saved her residence off Red Win-
ery Road.
“It was a long freaking night,”
one person said. “But we saved
the house.”
The wildfire started Wednes-
day night and had consumed
more than 16,000 acres by Thurs-
day evening, as crews battled to
gain the upper hand in calmer
conditions. The Kincade fire
comes a little more than two
years after fires in Sonoma Coun-
ty killed 24 people and destroyed
more than 5,300 homes.
Jackson announced the loss of
her home on Facebook in a stark
Thursday morning post, stating,
“My home burnt to the ground

he’s known a first responder his

The Healdsburg restaura-

— just about the time his dad,
veteran Cal Fire air tanker pi-
lot Bob Valette, was taking off
from Sonoma County airport
— Valette was gathering bread,
gleaning tomatoes and working
out a game plan with nearby
restaurateurs.
Local chefs have become a

Geyserville area, as well
as homes and structures
owned by some of the
county’s most prominent
winemakers were torched
by a wildfire. Driven by
fierce winds, the blaze that
ignited minutes before 9:30
Wednesday night made its
way over steep Mayacamas
Mountains rural terrain
down into the Alexander
Valley.
By dawn Thursday, res-
idents who slept awoke to
flames encroaching on the
flatlands. Several homes
along Red Winery Road
and Geysers Road still
were fully engulfed late in
the morning.
Sean Olhan, who lives on
Red Winery Road, said he
was watching the fire far off
on the other side of Black
Mountain late Wednesday
night. He went to bed think-
ing it wouldn’t reach the
valley’s flatlands. But he
was awakened by Cal Fire
firefighters at 5:30 a.m. or-
dering him to evacuate.
“Everything was blow-
ing everywhere and crack-
ling,” he said, adding that
the rolling hills just east of
his property were on fire.
“It was swirling wind, it
was just havoc.”
Olhan took his mother to
the Jimstown Store, where
he had someone pick her
up and take her to Healds-
burg. Then Olhan returned
home and watched as near-
by hills erupted in flames
and pine trees burned.
Many of Alexander Val-
ley’s vineyards did not burn
because their access roads
and the vineyards them-
selves acted as firebreaks.
“There’s no real fuel in
these vineyards,” Olhan
said. “They’re green and
they get watered. These
are Alexander Valley vine-
yards. They’re pampered.”
Although he stayed put,
many Geyserville-area res-
idents did flee the smoke
and fire and headed for an
evacuation shelter at the

Center.

realized the irony of such
fancy sandwiches in an
emergency. That’s Sono-
ma County, he said. “Your
house burns down, we feed
you,” he said.
It’s still unknown what
food relief will be needed
in the coming days, but
restaurateurs are ready.
The local food communi-
ty, including Valette and
many others, offered thou-
sands of volunteer hours,
kitchens, food and support
during the 2017 fires. Some,
like restaurateur John
Franchetti of Franchetti’s
Gasthaus, have continued
to aid fire survivors even to
this day.
There is a fine line be-
tween helping and being in
the way, and aid organizers
are relying on vetted food
providers to assist during
this time. Cal Fire and Red
Cross are telling volunteers
that it is “early hours” and
they are watching the situ-
ation to best inform coordi-
nated responses.
At the Cal Fire command
center near the Sonoma
County Fairgrounds, a
mobile kitchen is ready
to feed first responders.
The kitchen is on standby,

are being evacuated,” May-
or David Hagele said.
Sonoma County Super-
visor James Gore, whose
district encompasses the
Kincade fire, as well as
about half of the area
burned in the October 2017
blazes in Sonoma County,
said he has noticed a differ-
ence in residents’ reactions
to this fire.
“I’ve never seen our folks
so tight and so prepared,”
Gore said. “Two years ago,
that was my concern, is
that there was cacophony.”
He’s hopeful the wind
stays calm Thursday night
to enable firefighters to get
some traction on the Kin-
cade inferno that burned
uncontrollably throughout
the day.
About 2,000 people liv-
ing in the Geyserville
area were forced to evac-
uate their homes, Sonoma
County Sheriff’s spokes-
woman Misti Wood said.
About 300 of those people
quickly fled their homes
after the blaze ignited at
9:27 p.m. Wednesday.
though no employees were
able to speak in an official
capacity. The Cal Fire mo-
bile kitchen was on-site in
2017 to feed hundreds of
first responders at the fair-
grounds.
Also ready to respond is
a state-of-the-art emergen-
cy mobile kitchen built by
celebrity chefs Guy Fieri
and Jose Andres. Having
been involved in other re-
cent fire relief efforts, Fieri
has seen the devastation
left by large fires first hand
and served thousands of
displaced victims. Fieri

Andres and World Central

Small Trione-Annadel fire contained

4-acre blaze between
parks sets residents

By NASHELLY CHAVEZ
AND MARY CALLAHAN
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

Dozens of firefighters extin-

guished a 4-acre vegetation fire
straddling Spring Lake Regional
Park and Trione-Annadel State
Park Thursday morning, where
flames were spotted in the hills
above the swimming lagoon at
the county park, fire officials
said.
The blaze was reported just be-

20 engines and upward of 60 per-

County Fire District and the San-

County Fire District Chief Mark

It sparked as other local fire
teams struggled against the
Kincade fire, which erupted the
night before and was fueled by
fast-moving winds in northeast
Sonoma County.
The wildfire at the edge of San-

meteorologist in Monterey.
The governor on Thurs-
day scolded California’s
three investor-owned utili-
ties over their handling of
the multiple blackouts. He
wrote in letters to the CEOs
of Pacific Gas & Electric Co.,
San Diego Gas & Electric
and Southern California
Edison that they have failed
to meet commitments to
limit disruption to custom-
ers in pursuit of planned
outages, such as providing
proper notice to customers
and local governments, de-
tailed information about
expected locations and peri-
ods without power and suf-
ficient services for affected
customers.
“The only consistency
has been inconsistency,”
Newsom wrote. “Going
forward, it is critical that
your utilities adhere to the
agreements and protocols
to provide transparent and
consistent notification to
state and local government
officials, to provide ade-
quately resourced commu-
nity resource centers, and
to plan for and meet the
needs of your vulnerable
customers.”
Meanwhile, Oliver’s Mar-
ket on Montecito Boulevard
in Santa Rosa was one of
many businesses that lost
power Wednesday, but
had the lights and coolers
working again Thursday
afternoon. General manag-
er Eric Meuse said PG&E
has been “very vague” in
its communication with
the store about when power
would be cut and restored,
making it difficult for the
store to operate.
His employees had to
move most of the store’s
perishable foods to other
locations, and Meuse said
it’s been challenging to
determine when the store
should restock since PG&E
warned that it may shut off
power again this weekend.
“We will only be partial-
ly restocking the shelves
until we know the power
has been restored for more
than a day,” Meuse said,
noting it’s “impossible to
manage business.”
PG&E’s communication
with the city improved
since the first power shut-
down two weeks ago, San-
ta Rosa Vice Mayor Chris
Rogers said. During that
“People are fatigued. This is an enormous
disruption to businesses and residents around
Sonoma County.”

two-day outage that start-
ed early on Oct. 9, residents
and elected officials criti-
cized California’s largest
utility for incorrectly iden-
tifying shut-off areas be-
forehand, and for its often
nonfunctional website that
was supposed to provide
customer updates.
“The public outcry was
warranted and harsh, and
I think they got that mes-
sage,” Rogers said Thurs-
day. “They’ve improved and
the public is getting more
information than the last
time around — even though
they haven’t addressed the
main point of anger, which
is a lack of investment in
making upgrades.”
County Supervisor Su-
san Gorin said the repeat
outages have taken a toll
on her constituents in Oak-
mont and Sonoma Valley.
“People are fatigued.
This is an enormous dis-
ruption to businesses and
residents around Sonoma
County,” Gorin said. “We
want to be safe, but we also
want to be able depend on
our utilities.”
But even as power start-
ed to come back Thursday
evening in areas around the
region, the torment is ex-
pected to quickly reemerge
with yet another major
dangerous weather system
looming with escalated fire
risks this weekend.
Bill Johnson, PG&E’s
chief executive, said
Thursday night the utility
is monitoring the weather
and preparing for another
“large-scale” power shut-
off this weekend, adding
that it could last even lon-
ger than two-day outage
earlier this month. Al-
ready, PG&E has started
notifying customers in the
North Bay, Sierra Foot-
hills and East Bay of the
possibility of a shutdown
that could begin Saturday
night, the CEO said. PG&E
doesn’t yet know which
specific areas could be af-
fected by the outage.
“None of us wants to be
living without power, but
we have a single, simple
and I think really import-
ant objective at work here,
which is to avoid cata-
strophic wildfires,” John-
son said. “These power
shut-offs are a necessary
tool for public safety.”
The weekend forecast,
particularly the predict-
ed winds Saturday night
up to 80 mph in the North
Bay mountains, seems om-
inous. Peterson, the meteo-
rologist, said the winds will
be the strongest of the three
fire weather systems the
North Bay has experienced
this month. The weather
service issued a fire weath-
er watch Thursday evening
for Saturday night through
Monday morning, calling
this event “the strongest of
this year and since the 2017
wine country fires.”
During the wind-driven
October 2017 firestorm that
killed 40 people — including
24 people in Sonoma Coun-
ty — and destroyed nearly
6,200 homes in the North
Bay, wind speeds reached
65 mph.
Peterson said he had “no
doubt” the weather service
CHRISTOPHER CHUNG / THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
will upgrade the watch to a
red-flag warning, indicat-
ing critical fire risks, some-
time Friday.
Although temperatures
are expected to cool this
weekend, the low humidi-
ty levels and even stronger
winds still will be cause for
concern, said Peterson.
The dangerous weekend
weather will cover a broad-
er area, including Sonoma,
Mendocino, Napa, Marin,
Solano, Alameda, Contra
Costa, Santa Clara, Santa
Cruz, San Mateo counties,
and also potentially San
Francisco County, Peter-
son said.
PG&E, facing an esti-
mated $30 billion in wild-
fire liabilities, began using
planned power outages
last year as a fire-preven-
tion measure. This year
the utility expanded that
significantly, making the
shut-offs its primary fire
safety tactic.
With electricity still not
restored across Santa Rosa
Thursday night, the city
was bracing for an even
lengthier period without
power for an unknown
number of residents in the
coming days.
“We’re already starting
to prepare for this second
wind event that is going
to greatly impact the com-
munity,” Rogers said. “If
the potential outage starts
Saturday ... and lasts until
Monday, I won’t be sur-
prised to see the power off
until Tuesday.”

THE REGION
MARIN COUNTY
Firefighters battle 58-acre Muir fire
Firefighters fought a fast-moving fire between
Muir and Stinson beaches in Marin County Thursday
morning that grew to 58 acres before they were able to
start building containment around the blaze.
The Muir fire, which quickly became the county’s
largest of the year, started near the Slide Ranch along
the Pacific Coast Highway at about 10:45 a.m., accord-
ing to Marin County fire officials. No one was injured
and no structures burned, but the fire, which charred
grasslands and coastal brush, forced afternoon clo-
sure of the highway between the Panoramic Highway
and Muir Woods Road.
About 150 firefighters from 13 fire agencies, plus
personnel with the National Parks Service and
California State Parks, worked throughout the day to
halt the flames. Containment reached 20% by 4 p.m.,
according to the Marin County Fire Department.
Cal Fire tanker attacks loaded with retardant and
a helicopter making water drops were credited for
preventing the wildfire from spreading. Winds that
reached 20 mph and pushed flames westward toward
the ocean instead of up the slopes of Mount Tamal-
pais also assisted crews in their effort.
Firefighters planned to remain on the fire over-
night and through Friday to ensure it did not expand
further. The cause of the fire is unknown.

SANTA ROSA
Firefighters tackle Fountaingrove blaze
Santa Rosa firefighters quickly contained a fire at a
Fountaingrove home Thursday afternoon, while the
Kincade fire blazed on farther north.
Officials received reports of the fire about 1 p.m. at
a duplex on Stonefield Lane, just south of Fountain-
grove Lake. Firefighters contained the blaze within
30 minutes, preventing it from spreading to nearby
properties and the surrounding vegetation.
A couple hours later, firefighters tackled a dump-
ster fire in Fountaingrove, near Shelter Glen Way.
Crews put out the fire, which didn’t spread to any
wildland nearby.

No deaths and no miss-

Essick said at the news
conference. He could not

smoke inhalation.
Officials were unable to
say when the blaze would
be fully contained.
The Kincade fire erupt-
ed Wednesday night inside
The Geysers, the world’s
largest geothermal energy
field, fanned by northeast
winds gusting at 76 mph,
the National Weather Ser-
vice said, noting that stiffer
winds are anticipated this
weekend.
Winds are expected to
abate Friday, aiding fire-
fighters, then ramp up
again Saturday night into
Sunday, with gusts up to
80 mph over the highest
North Bay peaks.
Lasting about 12 hours
from about 10 p.m. Satur-
day to about 10 a.m. Sun-
day, the winds will be the
strongest this season over
a broad swath of Northern
California, weather service
meteorologist David King
said.
Scott Strenfel, PG&E’s
chief meteorologist, said at
a news conference Thurs-
day the weekend winds
will be the strongest “by
a large margin this year”
and “possibly one of the
strongest we’ve seen in
years.”
Bill Johnson, the util-
ity’s CEO and president,
said PG&E is preparing for
a preventive power shut-off
on the same scale as the
Oct. 9 blackout “but of a
longer duration.”
PG&E officials docu-
mented their progress
in restoring power to the
179,000 customers in 17
counties, including nearly
28,000 in Sonoma County,
who were cut off Wednes-
day and Thursday. About
56,000 customers remained
without power and “the
numbers are dropping
fast,” officials said.
Two weeks ago, PG&E
pulled the plug on near-
ly 750,000 customers in
Northern and Central Cal-
ifornia, including 66,000 in
Sonoma County, in its first
regionwide outage, which
was faulted as excessive
and poorly executed by
Sonoma County and state
officials, including Gov.
Gavin Newsom.
Firefighters had not de-
termined Thursday what
role, if any, power lines at
The Geysers played in the
ignition of the fire.
Evacuations were or-
dered for Geyserville, in-
cluding the nearby River
Rock Casino, and along nu-
merous roads up to the The
Geysers. All roads east of
Highway 101 in the Geyser-
ville area were closed.
Sheriff Essick said there
had been no looting in the
fire area, which was guard-
ed by about 50 deputies
during the day and about
half that many overnight.
Parkes said the rough
terrain makes it difficult to
find opportunities for con-
taining the fire.
“We’ll boost the day shift
tomorrow,” he said.
Defending structures is
“always our top priority,”
he said, but considering
the upcoming weather and
the rugged landscape, “this
entire fire area is truly of
concern for us. There’s not
one area we can take light-
ly.”

contain the wind-whipped
fire and needed to start
evacuations, the radio traf-
fic indicated.
Calpine Corp., which op-
erates the largest power fa-
cilities in The Geysers, does
not believe its equipment
caused the Kincade fire. As
a result of windy conditions
in the area, The Geysers
de-energized its local power
line system before the fire
broke out, Calpine spokes-
man Brett Kerr said. The
decision was “consistent
with our fire prevention
protocols,” he said.
“We do not believe our
facilities caused the fire,”
he said. “There are power
lines operated by third par-
ties across The Geysers.”
Firefighters had not de-
termined Thursday wheth-
er the blaze was ignited
by power lines, Cal Fire
Battalion Chief Marshall
Turbeville said. State in-
vestigators typically take
months to pinpoint the
cause of major fires and
announce their findings.
Turbeville said he had
heard that a building could
be involved, but there
wasn’t enough informa-
tion yet to know exactly
how the fire started — and
whether it originated from
the building or the power
lines, or started elsewhere
and overtook them as it
spread.
The Geysers is a geo-
thermal power operation
on 45 square miles in the
remote Mayacamas Moun-
tains above Healdsburg
and Geyserville. It includes
more than a dozen individ-

northern Sonoma County,
with a few in Lake County,

3 men arrested
in deputy’s death
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOMERSET — Three
men have been charged
in the fatal shooting of
a Northern California
sheriff’s deputy killed
responding to a reported
theft from an illegal mar-
ijuana growing operation
in the rural Sierra Nevada
foothills, authorities said
Thursday.
A 911 caller reporting
the theft did not disclose
crucial information — that
he had a business arrange-
ment with the supposed
thieves and there was a
dispute between them, ac-
cording to El Dorado Coun-
ty Sheriff John D’Agostini.
“Had he been truthful
with our deputies and the
911 dispatcher, this trag-
edy would not have oc-
curred,” D’Agostini said.
The caller, Christopher
Ross, leased the land to
two Mexican men to grow
75 marijuana plants in the
community of Somerset,
D’Agostini said.
But authorities say
Ross only told police that
people were stealing from
his home’s growing oper-
ation and did not mention
the dispute when he spoke

to Deputy Brian Ishmael
and an off-duty deputy
from San Joaquin County
who was accompanying
Ishmael on a ride-along.
When Ishmael and
the off-duty deputy an-
nounced their presence
at the growing operation,
“they were immediately
confronted with gunfire,”
D’Agostini said. Both re-
turned gunfire.
Ishmael, 37, was struck
once in the upper chest,
above his bulletproof vest,
and once in the foot, the
sheriff said. The off-duty
deputy, whose name has
not been made public, was
hit once in the upper thigh
and tried to help Ishmael,
who died in minutes.
Ross, 47, is charged with
involuntary manslaugh-
ter and jailed on $50,000
bail, records show.
The suspected gunman,
Juan Carlos Vasquez
Orozco, underwent sur-
gery for gunshot wounds,
D’Agostini said. He was
arrested on suspicion of
murder and assault with
a deadly weapon.

Tick fire threatens homes
SANTA CLARITA »
Brush blaze burns
multiple structures
By ALEX WIGGLESWORTH
AND LEILA MILLER
LOS ANGELES TIMES
LOS ANGELES — A
brush fire that broke out
Thursday afternoon near
Santa Clarita has burned
multiple structures and
is threatening neighbor-
hoods.
Firefighters were des-
perately trying to stall the
wind-driven fire as it rap-
idly moved toward sub-
divisions in Agua Dulce.
Authorities have requested
more air support as the fire
moved down from the hills.
Multiple lines of fire
were making runs at
neighborhoods, racing
through open space and to
the backyards of homes.
Some residents could be
seen using garden hoses to
try to prevent the fire from
getting to their homes. But
in some cases, the flames
were too big and the homes
went ablaze.
The brush blaze was
moving downhill, parallel
to the 14 Freeway and Sier-
ra Highway into Mint Can-
yon, Canyon Country and
Agua Dulce.
The fire was reported
shortly before 1:45 p.m.
along Tick Canyon Road
and quickly grew to more
than 850 acres, said Marvin
Lim, a spokesman for the
L.A. County Fire Depart-
ment. By about 2:20 p.m.,
firefighters had called a
third alarm because the
blaze was threatening
homes, he said.
Three hours later, the
fire had grown to 3,700
acres.
Firefighters said the
blaze was moving so fast
it was hard to keep track
of its many lines and get
evacuation orders out
ahead of the flames. There
were immediate reports of
injuries, though some resi-
dents ran for their lives as

the fire approached their
homes.
Shortly before 3:30 p.m.,
firefighters reported a
separate, 3-acre blaze that
was also threatening struc-
tures near the 5 Freeway
and Lake Hughes Road in
the Castaic area, several
miles east of the Tick fire.
About a half-hour later, au-
thorities declared that the
blaze was being managed
as a branch of the Tick fire.
A third fire broke out near
Val Verde off the 5 Freeway.
Multiple structures were
burning by about 3:40 p.m.,
the Los Angeles County
Fire Department said in
an alert. Firefighters were
trying to protect homes in
the area of Fitch Avenue
and Sierra Highway, but
the blaze was “outpacing
the evacuation efforts,” ac-
cording to the alert.
Evacuations were being
ordered from east of Sier-
ra Highway all the way to
Soledad Canyon Road after
the fire jumped Sand Can-
yon Road.
Those included manda-
tory evacuation orders for
homes between Soledad
Canyon Road and Shadow
Pines Boulevard along the
14 Freeway and along Dav-
enport Road east of Sierra
Highway.
Mandatory evacuation
orders were also issued for
homes south of Vasquez
Canyon Road, north and
east of Plum Canyon, north
and east of Whites Canyon
Road, north and east of
Soledad Canyon Road, and
in the Sand Canyon area.
The Red Cross set up an
evacuation center at Col-
lege of the Canyons in Va-
lencia.
The blaze also forced the
closure of all northbound
lanes of the 5 Freeway at
Hasley Canyon and the
southbound lanes of the 5
at Templin Highway, the
California Highway Patrol
said.
About 228 fire personnel
are battling the blaze.
“We’re doing everything
possible to reduce the
spread,” said Sean Rios,
a spokesman for the L.A.
County Fire Department.
“The wind is a major fac-
tor. All ground and aerial
resources are being uti-
lized to the best of their ca-
pabilities, but we’re going
to be here for a while.”
Weather conditions near
the fire were helping to fos-
ter its growth with a com-
bination of warm tempera-
tures, humidity hovering
around 6% and wind gusts
of up to 29 mph, said Keily
MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Delerme, a meteorologist
with the National Weather
Service in Oxnard.
The warmth, in particu-
lar, was causing the blaze
to send up a large plume of
smoke, she said.
“That’s why the plume
looks so impressive, be-
cause it’s very warm near
the fire,” she said.
Forecasters expected the
winds to pick up through
the evening and overnight,
with gusts between 40 and
60 mph in the area of the
blaze. Temperatures were
also expected to be a little
bit warmer Friday, and hu-
midity was expected to stay
low.
“We’re not going to see
that much humidity re-
covery overnight, which is
what normally happens,”
Delerme said.
The National Weather
Service had issued a red-
flag warning for the area
that was in effect through
Friday evening. The
weather conditions were
expected to peak overnight
Thursday and continue
through Friday.
The fire came on a day
of dry, hot, windy weath-
er across California. Fires
also hit San Bernardino,
Orange County and Eagle
Rock.

Many more kids taken
from parents at border
Justice Department
discloses wider scope
of program to ACLU
By MARIA SACCHETTI
WASHINGTON POST
WASHINGTON — The
American Civil Liberties
Union said Thursday that
the Trump administration
separated 1,556 more immi-
grant children from their
parents at the U.S.-Mexico
border than has previously
been disclosed to the pub-
lic.
The majority of the chil-
dren are ages 12 and under,
including about 200 consid-
ered “tender age” because
they are under 5 years old.
The ACLU said the Jus-
tice Department disclosed
the final tally — which is
in addition to the more
than 2,700 children known
to have been separated last
year — hours before a fed-
eral court deadline to iden-
tify all children separated
since mid-2017.
U.S. District Judge Dana
Sabraw in San Diego gave
the Trump administra-
tion six months in April to
disclose the names to the
ACLU, which is trying to
track down all the families
and learn whether they
have been reunited.
The ACLU said the chil-
dren were taken from their
parents and released from
federal shelters sometime
between July 1, 2017, and
June 2018, when Sabraw,
an appointee of President
George W. Bush, ordered
the administration to re-
unite the more than 2,700
children who were still in
custody with their parents.
But Sabraw and ACLU
lawyers did not know at
that time that hundreds
of other children had been
taken from their parents
and released from U.S.
Health and Human Ser-
vices shelters months ear-
lier, including when DHS
secretly piloted the separa-
tions in the Border Patrol’s
El Paso, Texas, sector. An
HHS Office of Inspector
General report in January
disclosed that the admin-
istration may have sepa-
rated more families than it
revealed to the public.
ACLU lawyer Lee Gel-
ernt said the Justice De-
partment has been sending
the names of separated
families to them in batches
and provided the last infor-
mation Thursday. He said
he is worried that parents
have been deported with-
out their children.
“These are the fami-
lies we’re going to have
to search for all over
the world,” Gelernt said
Thursday. “We’re still in
the middle of trying to find
them.”
Justice Department law-
yers have said in court that
most of the separated chil-
dren have been released to
parents or guardians.
A Justice Department
spokesman declined to
comment Thursday and
did not immediately re-
spond to requests to con-
firm the ACLU’s figures.
The ACLU’s announce-
ment follows months of
NATION
speculation about the num-
ber of children separated
from their families at the
Mexican border under a
policy that Democrats and
some Republicans decried
as inhumane, and that
some DHS officials came to
regret.
The DHS and the Jus-
tice Department officially
implemented the family
separations from May 2018
to June 20, 2018, to discour-
age fast-rising numbers
of families, particularly
from Central America,
from surrendering at the
Mexican border and seek-
ing asylum. The Trump
administration said adults
were traveling with chil-
dren on purpose because
legal limits on detaining
minors made it easier to
slip in to the United States.
Under the policy, federal
officials prosecuted par-
ents in criminal courts for
the misdemeanor offense
of crossing the border ille-
gally, and then dispatched
them to immigration de-
tention or deported them.
Their children were sent
to HHS shelters across
the United States, and the
Trump administration did
not have a plan to quickly
reunite them.
Family separations
remain one of the most
significant debacles of
the Trump administra-
tion. Acting homeland
security secretary Kevin
McAleenan, who is ex-
pected to step down soon,
said in a recent interview
that the family separations
“went too far.”

Fossil trove shows rapid
recovery after big extinction
By MALCOLM RITTER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A remarkable trove of
fossils from Colorado has revealed de-
tails of how mammals grew larger and
plants evolved after the cataclysm that
killed the dinosaurs.
The thousands of specimens let scien-
tists trace that history over a span of 1
million years, a mere eyeblink in Earth’s
lifespan.
Sixty-six million years ago, a large me-
teorite smashed into what is now the Yu-
catan Peninsula of southeastern Mexico.
It unleashed broiling waves of heat and
filled the sky with aerosols that blotted
out the sun for months, killing off plants
and the animals that depended on them.
More than three-quarters of species
on Earth died out.
But life came back, and land mammals
began to expand from being small crea-
tures into the wide array of forms we see
today — including us.
So the new find taps into “the origin
of the modern world,” said Tyler Lyson,
an author of a paper reporting the fossil
finds Thursday in the journal Science.
The fossils were recovered from an
area of steep bluffs covering about
10  square miles near Colorado Springs,
starting three years ago.
Lyson, of the Denver Museum of Na-
ture and Science, found little in that area
A11
HHMI TANGLED BANK STUDIOS
when he followed the standard practice
of scanning for bits of bone. But that
changed when he began looking instead
for rocks that can form around bone.
When the rocks were broken open, skulls
and other fossils within were revealed.
Lyson said it’s not clear how wide a
geographic region the fossils’ story of
recovery applies to, but that he thinks
they show what happened over North
America.
“We just know so little about this ev-
erywhere on the globe,” he said. “At least
now we have at one spot a fantastic re-
cord.”
Experts not connected to the study
were enthusiastic.
It’s “an unparalleled documentary of
how life on land recovered” after the as-
teroid impact, said P. David Polly of In-
diana University in Bloomington. “The
sheer number of fossil specimens and
the quality of their preservation are ex-
ceptional” for this time period, he said.
Stephanie Smith of the Field Museum
in Chicago said the study’s detailed focus
on a single area can help scientists under-
stand the complexity of recovery when
combined with results from elsewhere.
Scientists have previously found little
evidence about what happened in the af-
termath of the meteorite crash, especial-
ly on land, said Jin Meng of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History in New
York.

Sonoma County
gets tested yet
again by wildfire
Y Take back the trail
et again, wind-whipped
flames drove thousands
of Sonoma County resi-
dents from their homes in the
middle of the night.
On Thursday afternoon, with
large sections of the Alexander
Valley, including the whole
town of Geyserville, evacuat-
ed, and thick smoke hanging
over the Mayacamas, questions
about the Kincade fire outnum-
ber answers.
We know the fire started just
before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday at
The Geysers, the world’s largest
geothermal power production
facility and a primary supplier
of electricity for the North Bay.
We don’t yet know what
caused the fire, which quickly
spread across 15 square miles,
or whether it started in one of
the areas where PG&E had shut
off electricity earlier in the day
as a precaution against power
lines igniting a wildfire.
Calpine, which operates
13 power plants at The Geysers,
says its transmission lines
had been de-energized before
the fire. However, a Calpine
spokesman said, other com-
panies have power lines in the
area, and, according to news
accounts, PG&E notified state
officials Thursday that one of
its transmission lines in the
area malfunctioned.
Photos and video show
burned homes, but it’s un-
known how many were dam-
aged or destroyed. No casual-
ties have been reported.
The Kincade fire is the big-
gest test of emergency warning
systems since the county failed
to notify thousands of people
living in the path of the Octo-
ber 2017 firestorm, which de-
stroyed more than 5,300 homes
and killed 24 people in Sonoma
County.
The Sheriff’s Office delivered
the first evacuation order about
an hour after the fire started,
using Amber alert-style warn-
ings aimed at all cellphones in
the affected area — a system
that inexplicably wasn’t utilized
two years ago — as well as opt-

long the East River,
which is not really a
river (it is a 16-mile-long
tidal estuary), perhaps 20,000
people actually chose to spend a
gorgeous autumn afternoon last
Saturday listening to socialist
Bernie Sanders, who is not real-
ly a socialist — he just wants to
confiscate capitalism’s bounty
to fund his promises of free
stuff. This might seem counter-
intuitive, but it bodes well for
the republic that so many were
eager to hear yet another of
Sanders’ harangues about the
inequity of all existing social
arrangements.
They gathered in the borough
of Queens, the incubator of
presidents (well, of the 45th), in
order to affirm that the Vermont
senator should be the 46th.
If you believe, sensibly, that
removing the 45th is a precondi-
tion for all improvements, you
should want Sanders’ coming
defeat in the Democratic nomi-
nation scramble to be postponed
for a while.
Saturday’s rally was Sand-
ers’ announcement that he,

low’s poem, is “up and doing,

in Nixle and SoCo alerts.
With power shut down in
much of the fire zone, elec-
tronic alerts could only reach
people whose cellphones and
computers were charged. So
sheriff’s deputies also went
door-to-door and used new hi-lo
sirens to warn people.
Notification is one half of
the advance-warning equation.
The other is whether people
comply with evacuation orders,
allowing emergency personnel
to concentrate on the fire.
As always, some insisted on
staying put. However, most peo-
ple appeared to be making the
wise choice and leaving. Many
arriving at evacuation centers
confirmed that they received a
cellphone alert or an in-person
warning from a sheriff’s deputy
or a neighbor.
“I’ve never seen our folks so
tight and so prepared,” said
Supervisor James Gore, whose
district includes the Kincade
fire area as well as much of the
territory that burned two years
ago. Then, Gore conceded that
the county was “grossly under-
prepared.”
The county’s initial response
appeared to be sharper this
time, with strike teams on duty
before the fire broke out and a
faster, smoother flow of infor-
mation allowing residents to
safely evacuate. But an objec-
tive assessment of the emergen-
cy warning system, including
fire-detection cameras, the
pre-emptive power outage and
other changes since the 2017
fires will have to wait until the
Kincade fire is extinguished.
We do know this: More tests
are coming. High temperatures
and dry winds are in the fore-
cast again this weekend, prob-
ably accompanied by another
round of precautionary power
outages across the Bay Area.
Please be prepared.
In the meantime, it’s never
too soon to salute the selfless
efforts of the 500-plus firefight-
ers and other first responders
working round the clock to
protect homes and save lives.

with a heart for any fate.” His
message was: Never mind my
heart attack. He is 78, and in his
second run for the nomination
is no longer a novelty, which
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, a sprightly 70, is. Her
persona, that of a hectoring
schoolmarm, can be grating, but
is less so than his, which recalls
Dorothy Parker’s description
of Katharine Hepburn: “She
runs the gamut of emotions
from A to B.” Sanders fluctuates
between anger and indignation.
Besides, it is entertaining to
count how many times Warren
plans to spend the same reve-
nues from her wealth tax before
it is declared unconstitutional
(see Article I, Section 9).
The longer Sanders lasts
before Warren cannibalizes his
support, the better it will be for
Joe Biden. And the longer Biden
lasts as the broccoli candidate

Unfortunately, civil grand
juries are often reluctant to use
these important powers, be-
cause the 19 citizen volunteers
who serve generally feel they
lack the expertise to evaluate
law enforcement behavior.
However, the civil grand jury
could be an ideal forum for
many of the tasks of the beefed-
up oversight panel proposed by
Jerry Threet.
Instead of creating a cost-

it might be more efficient to
increase funding to the civil

“Sorry, your performance is
unsatisfactory.” Your em-

your only option is to pack your

In Michigan, the closest 2016

Democrat Gretchen Whitmer,
whose un-Warrenesque slogan
was “Fix the damn roads,” was
elected governor in 2018 as a
moderate who had opposed the
“Medicare for All” proposals
of her Democratic primary
opponents. Warren is not ideally
suited to recapturing Michigan.
In purple Colorado, voters
in 2016 resoundingly rejected,
79% to 21%, a ballot initiative
to create a state-run universal
health care system that would
have replaced private health in-

to Colorado as is Bennet, who
has twice won statewide there.
In New Hampshire, where
Clinton won by just three-tenths

that whereas 28% want “radical

A public power option
EDITOR: Once again, PG&E
exposed its customers to a
dangerous situation. If this had
been an actual emergency, the
community would have worked
together and weathered it with
our strong Sonoma spirit. Rath-
er, we were driven to frantic gas
lines and unnecessary grocery
store hysteria and economic
and personal disruption.
This latest utility debacle
should have been handled with
a little more thought, planning
and grace. Even the linemen
who came by to inspect our
electric lines prior to reconnec-
tion were perplexed as to why
this was handled the way it was.
Once again customers have
been played for fools. Yes,
emergencies happen and we
need to be prepared, but this
was an inexcusable display of
mismanagement. This lack of
care is what we get when our
only option is a privately owned
monopoly.
How about a publicly owned
utility? It works in other loca-
tions, why not here? Let the
public come up with a positive
alternative. We need to develop
a fair solution that spreads the
responsibility and, yes, burdens
and gains. We need to unite to
resolve this ever-troubling di-
lemma for our county and state.
PG&E doesn’t have to
prove again and again that it
shouldn’t be the only player in
this game. Maybe it’s time to
take our power back.

whites are only about one-third

Trump won Florida by just

to capture them. The same is
true of purple Georgia, Arizona

then Democrats won the gover-

Emoluments sins go beyond Doral
By NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN
W
hen the White
House announced
that Donald Trump
would host the 2020 Group of
Seven meeting at his Doral
golf resort in Florida — an
in-your-face bit of self-deal-
ing and a blatant violation
of the Constitution’s foreign
emoluments clause — Re-
publicans and Democrats
howled. Reporters had only
just begun to tally the ways
awarding himself a govern-
ment contract could enrich
Trump and the Trump Orga-
nization when the president
backed down, but not before
he publicly decried the “pho-
ny” emoluments clause.
The Doral reversal
dimmed the spotlight on
emoluments, but that should
not lead us to drop the focus
on the rest of Trump’s
self-dealing and conflicts
of interest. For strategic
reasons, the House of Repre-
sentatives may not include
emoluments transgressions
among potential impeach-
ment charges. Nonetheless,
the number of Trump’s vio-
lations are staggering, and
growing by the day.
There are two separate
emoluments sections in the
Constitution; neither are
phony, and both reflect the
deep concern the framers
had about possible corrup-
tion in the highest offices in
the land.
“Emoluments” are
anything of value. The
first constitutional clause,
forbidding any officer of the
United States from taking
“any present, Emolument,
Office, or Title, of any kind
whatever” from a foreign
government, is in Article I.
It has no loopholes; the
framers feared that a rich
foreign government could
influence or sway American
policy by giving something
of value to a policymaker. It
is not limited to the presi-
dent or vice president, but to
all holding an office of trust
in the U.S. government.
The second emoluments
clause is in Article II and is
limited to the president. It

Investigators getting investigated

RUSSIA INQUIRY » Prosecutor to look for criminal
activities in Justice Department probe’s origins
By KATIE BENNER
AND ADAM GOLDMAN
NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON — For more
than two years, President Don-
ald Trump has repeatedly at-
tacked the Russia investigation,
portraying it as a hoax and ille-
gal even months after the special
counsel closed it. Now, Trump’s
own Justice Department has
opened a criminal investigation
into how it all began.
Justice Department officials
have shifted an administrative
review of the Russia investi-
gation closely overseen by At-
torney General William Barr
to a criminal inquiry, accord-
ing to two people familiar with
the matter. The move gives the
prosecutor running it, John
Durham, the power to subpoena
for witness testimony and docu-
ments, to impanel a grand jury
and to file criminal charges.
The opening of a criminal
investigation is likely to raise
alarms that Trump is using the
Justice Department to go after
his perceived enemies. Trump
fired James Comey, the FBI
director under whose watch
agents opened the Russia inqui-
ry, and has long assailed other
top former law enforcement
and intelligence officials as par-
tisans who sought to block his
election.
Trump has made clear that he
sees the typically independent
Justice Department as a tool
to be wielded against his polit-
ical enemies. That view factors
into the impeachment investi-
gation against him, as does his
long obsession with the origins
of the Russia inquiry. House

Oil law’s loophole cost US government $18B

GULF OF MEXICO » Report finds poorly written
legislation let petroleum companies escape royalties
BY HIROKO TABUCHI
NEW YORK TIMES
The U.S. government has lost
billions of dollars of oil and
gas revenue to fossil-fuel com-
panies because of a loophole
in a decades-old law, a federal
watchdog agency said Thurs-
day, offering the first detailed
accounting of the consequences
of a misstep by lawmakers that
is expected to continue costing
taxpayers for decades to come.
The loophole dates from an ef-
fort in 1995 to encourage drilling
in the Gulf of Mexico by offer-
ing oil companies a temporary
break from paying royalties on
the oil produced. However, the
rule was poorly written, the
very politicians who originally
championed it have acknowl-
edged, and the temporary re-
prieve was accidentally made
permanent on some wells.
As a result, some of the big-
gest oil companies in the world,
including Chevron, Shell, BP,
Exxon Mobil and others, have
avoided paying at least $18 bil-
lion in royalties on oil and gas
drilled since 1996, according to
a new report from the Govern-
ment Accountability Office, a
nonpartisan agency that works
for Congress. The companies,
which hold government leases
to drill in the Gulf, continue to
extract oil and gas from those
wells while not being required
to pay royalties, a right the in-
dustry has gone to court to de-
fend.
The National Ocean Indus-
tries Association, which rep-
resents the offshore industry,
defended the arrangement.
“There was no mistake in the
law,” said Nicolette Nye, vice
president at the association. If
not for the law, she said, “we
likely would not be produc-
ing U.S. oil offshore in record
amounts today.”
But the program’s original ar-
chitect said he was surprised by
the outcome. “That wasn’t our
intent,” said J. Bennett John-
ston, a former Democratic sen-
ator from Louisiana who had
pushed for the original reprieve
on royalties. “There should
have been a provision that said
it didn’t apply above a certain
threshold” for oil prices, he said.
The loophole continues to cut
into federal coffers. Royalties
from offshore oil and gas are a
significant source of revenue,
bringing in almost $90 billion
from 2006 through 2018, accord-
ing to the agency.
Frank Rusco, a director of the
GAO’s Natural Resources and
Environment team and the re-
port’s author, said the findings
are an extreme example of the
Department of Interior failing
to ensure that American taxpay-
ers received a fair market val-
ue for the oil and gas extracted
from public property.

ago might keep producing for

WASHINGTON
US report pans Trump’s VA reform effort
A U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs office creat-
ed by the Trump administration to boost accountabil-
ity and strengthen whistleblower protections within
the VA has failed to do so, a report by the agency’s
inspector general concluded.
The 100-page report released Thursday determined
that leadership shortcomings, misinterpretations of
its own investigative authority and a lack of clear pol-
icy and procedures ultimately created an office that
was “alienating to the very individuals it was meant
to protect.”
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump re-
peatedly pledged to improve health care for veterans
and the efficiency of the VA after a waiting-list scan-
dal in 2014 raised concerns about veterans’ care.
Trump created the Office of Accountability and
Whistleblower Protection with an executive order in
April 2017, charging it with holding senior executives
accountable for misconduct, preventing retaliation
against whistleblowers and addressing poor perfor-
mance among senior executives.

Pence says US companies soft on China
Vice President Mike Pence criti-
cized U.S. companies on Thursday for
trying to silence speech that express-
es support for democratic, liberal
values in order to maintain access to
the Chinese market, saying the firms
should adhere to American princi-
ples while doing business with China.
Mike In a wide-ranging policy speech
Pence on what he called the “fundamental
restructuring of our relationship
with China,” Pence accused Nike of checking its “con-
science at the door” and owners and players in the
NBA of “siding with the Chinese Communist Party”
by suppressing support for the pro-democracy move-
ment in Hong Kong. He highlighted those examples to
make a wider point about how American companies
often make compromises with China that put them at
odds with Western liberal values — and the long-term
effect this has on candid discussion of China among
Americans.
“By exploiting corporate greed, Beijing is attempt-
ing to influence American public opinion, coercing
corporate America,” Pence said. “And far too many
American multinational corporations have kowtowed
to the lure of China’s money and markets by muz-
zling not only criticism of the Chinese Communist
Party, but even affirmative expressions of American
values.”

Johnson seeks general election for Brexit
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, stymied by Parlia-
ment on his plan to leave the European Union by the
end of the month, challenged lawmakers Thursday
to approve a general election in December, hoping to
win a popular mandate to carry out his vision of a
swift Brexit.
But the opposition Labour Party reacted coolly to
Johnson’s proposal, which he will bring before Par-
liament on Monday, viewing it as an act of political
gamesmanship rather than a serious effort to find
a path out of the morass that has enveloped Britain
since it voted in 2016 to leave the EU.
Throwing the question of Brexit back to the voters
has been seen as a way to break out of a cycle of po-
litical paralysis. But the maneuvering in the wake of
Johnson’s announcement showed that even this bid
could fall prey to the same political forces that have
subverted all previous efforts.
Johnson, who has already been forced to break
his word by requesting an extension of the Brexit
deadline until Jan. 31, presented the opposition with
a quid pro quo: he would give members more time to
deliberate over his deal with the EU if they agreed to
back an election on Dec. 12.

Foes accuse Morales of election fraud
Bolivia’s government electoral tribunal on Thurs-
day declared President Evo Morales outright winner
in the election for a fourth term in office after a con-
troversial vote count that sparked protests across the
South American nation.
Opposition leaders, meanwhile, accused Morales
of election fraud and called for more demonstrations
to demand a second round of voting. Morales has
warned of a “coup attempt.”
Tensions continued to escalate in the Andean na-
tion of 11 million, which this week erupted in violent
anti-government demonstrations. Protesters in La
Paz and other cities set fires, burned and looted elec-
tion offices Monday night after the socialist president
emerged from an unexplained gap in the publication
of election results in better shape than he entered it.

Wine Intelligence, a research firm in
London.
For foreign businesses, a second
challenge has been rising nation-
alist sentiment among Chinese
consumers. The National Basketball
Association recently found itself at
the center of a firestorm after the
general manager of the Houston
Rockets posted support on Twitter
for the Hong Kong protests, which
the Chinese widely see as a separat-
ist movement. Coach, Givenchy and
Versace each apologized after draw-
ing fierce criticism for T-shirts that
were seen as having undermined
China’s sovereignty by identifying
the semiautonomous regions of
Hong Kong and Macao as separate
countries.
But Lafite is seeking to tap into
that patriotic sentiment by offering
a wine made in China by a mostly
Chinese team.
“Throughout the years, we have
seen the Chinese consumer change,
and ‘Made in China’ has actually
become something that people are
proud of,” said Saskia de Rothschild,
a former journalist who has written
for the New York Times.
Rothschild spoke at the new
estate, which is nestled among vine-
yards and apple orchards in Shan-
dong, a coastal province. On a visit
in mid-September before the official
launch, bright red signs extolling
the Chinese Communist Party
dotted the drive through terraced
vineyards up to the estate.
The 2017 vintage from Domaine
de Long Dai is a blend of cabernet
sauvignon, cabernet franc and
marselan grapes. Marselan is a
cross between cabernet sauvignon
and grenache that is popular among
Chinese wine drinkers.
In a July review of the first
vintage, Jancis Robinson, a British
wine writer, called it a “very good
debut effort indeed.”
“As for the wine, it is suitably
Lafite-like,” she wrote on her web-
site, adding that it was “as bone dry
as the Bordeaux first growth, utterly
correct if not absolutely stunning.”
With 74 acres of vineyards, pro-
Saskia de Rothschild, chairwoman of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, at Domaine de
Long Dai in Shandong, China, said: “When I was starting to visit, a lot of the high-
end collectors were saying, ‘We’re never going to drink Chinese wine.’”
duction at the new estate is modest.
Only 2,500 cases of the 2017 vintage
will be sold, mostly in China, com-
pared with the 16,000 that Château
Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux pro-
duces on average.
Each bottle is equipped with a
special chip technology to guard
against counterfeiting, which has
been a major problem for Lafite in
China over the years.
Bottles of the 2017 Long Dai are
priced at 2,388 yuan, also known as
renminbi ($335). That is comparable
to a bottle of high-end baijiu, a grain
liquor known as China’s national
drink, though far less than some
older vintages of Château Lafite
Rothschild, which can sell for hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars.
On a recent blue-skied afternoon
in Mulangou, a village just steps
away from Long Dai, residents
heaped praise on the Lafite estate
for bringing jobs and distributing
gifts during the holidays.
But when asked if he would be
drinking the Long Dai wine, Huang
Chuanjun, 70, a regular beer drink-
er, shook his head.
“It’s more expensive than gold!”
said Huang, who was carrying a jug
of soy sauce. “I wouldn’t even spend
100 renminbi on it. I can’t tell the
difference, anyway.”
The 2017 wine is the culmination
of a project that began 10 years
ago, when the Lafite brand was at
the peak of its popularity in China.
“Lafite” has been used in the names
of Chinese apartment complexes
and even barbecue restaurants, said
Jim Boyce, founder of Grape Wall
of China, an English-language blog
about Chinese wine.
“It’s attached to the idea of the
quality of a lifestyle,” Boyce said.
But a number of high-end
Chinese wines have emerged in
the last decade, including Legacy
Peak in Ningxia and Ao Yun, made
from grapes grown in the Tibetan
foothills and owned by LVMH Moët
Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s
largest luxury group.
“The timing feels weird to me,”
PHOTOS BY GIULIA MARCHI / NEW YORK TIMES
Boyce said of the Long Dai launch.
“It feels like part of a trend that’s
already had its moment.”
For Lafite, though, the estate in
Shandong also offers a foothold
into China’s growing market for
pricey wines. It features a visitor
center and a so-called classroom for
wine education, a first for a Lafite
estate and a way to promote sales
of the company’s other wines and
overcome competition from Chinese
competitors.
References to the Rothschild fam-
ily, which has owned Lafite for more
than 150 years, appear throughout.
A video of Saskia de Rothschild in
conversation with her father, Baron
Éric de Rothschild, plays in the visi-
tor center. Paintings by her mother,
the artist Maria-Beatrice Caracciolo
Di Forino, and copies of oil portraits
of 19th-century Rothschilds adorn
the walls of the buildings.
The company chose Shandong for
its temperate winters and proximity
to transportation hubs, bucking a
trend among other wine producers
that gravitated toward China’s west-
ern regions.
But the site came with challenges.
The winemakers have had to find a
balance between the heavy mon-
soon rains in the summer and the
dry spring seasons. There have also
been recurring thefts of grapes by
locals. Now, five guards watch over
the vineyards at night.
And, as is often the case for for-
eign companies in China, managing
relations with the government
was tricky at times. Patience and
precision, both crucial in making
great wine, can be anathema to local
officials who often have short-term
growth targets.
In Penglai, hopes are high that
the winery will spur the develop-
ment of a tourism area similar to
Napa Valley. Already, a medley
of projects, including a Roman
Colosseum look-alike, a devel-
opment called Napa Village and
a French-inspired chateau have
sprung up in the area surrounding
Domaine de Long Dai.

decades. The amount of forgone
royalties is going to continue
to increase,” Rusco said. “It’s a
strong case for Interior to review
how it collects revenues on oil
and gas.”
The Interior Department said
it “takes seriously” its responsi-
bility to ensure that the Amer-
ican public receives a fair value
for public resources. Still, some
parts of the report “do not paint
a representative picture” of the
agency’s efforts, Casey Ham-
mond, acting assistant secretary
for land and minerals, said in the
agency’s response, which was
also released Thursday.
Department data shows that
Chevron holds the most royal-
ty-free leases in the Gulf, fol-
lowed by Anadarko (now a part
of Occidental Petroleum), Nor-
way’s Equinor and Shell. Exxon
Mobil, BP and CNOOC, China’s
company, also own royalty-free
leases, the data shows.
Chevron declined to comment.
Shell, Occidental, BP, Exxon and
Equinor referred queries to the
oil industry group, the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute. Calls to
CNOOC’s Houston offices went
unanswered.
Ben Marter, a spokesman for
the API, said companies “took
Congress at its word,” and any
attempts to revisit the issue
would be “engaging in a danger-
ous game of bait-and-switch.”
The report of the windfall to oil
companies comes as the Trump
administration has moved to fur-
ther reduce the cost of offshore
drilling for the industry, pro-
posing to significantly weaken
safety rules put in place after the
deadly 2010 Deepwater Horizon
explosion in the Gulf of Mexico.
President Donald Trump also
earlier pushed to expand new off-
shore oil and gas drilling, though
that plan was put on hold after
being challenged in court.
The fossil fuel industry is fac-
ing heightened scrutiny on sev-
eral fronts.
The United Nations has
warned that oil and gas produc-
tion must decline substantially
in the coming years if human-
ity is to avoid the worst effects
of climate change worldwide,
including more severe flooding,
droughts and sea level rise.
And Exxon Mobil this week is
fighting charges in a New York
City courtroom that the compa-
ny lied to shareholders about the
costs and consequences of global
warming.
This week at a hearing of a
subcommittee of the House Com-
mittee on Oversight and Reform,
Exxon and other oil giants came
under further attack.
“Major oil and gas compa-
nies, whose products are sub-
stantially responsible for global
greenhouse emissions and the
resulting climate emergency we
now face, had early and repeated
knowledge of the climate risk,”
Sharon Y. Eubanks, who former-
ly directed tobacco litigation at
the Department of Justice, told
the committee. “They chose to
mount a campaign of disinfor-
mation and denial.”
Exxon has said that the com-
pany has long acknowledged
climate change is real and has
called the charges “meritless”
and “unconnected from the
truth.”
The oil industry revenues de-
tailed in Thursday’s report are a
product of a very different era in
America.
Today, thanks to the frack-
ing boom, the United States is
the largest oil producer in the
world. But back in the late 1990s
— when the country was heavi-
ly reliant on oil imports — the
federal government wanted to
boost American energy indepen-
dence by encouraging more ex-
ploration in the Gulf. And since
oil prices were low, Washington
tried to make it worthwhile for
oil companies by offering a brief
reprieve on the royalties.
In 1995, Congress, working
with oil executives, passed a law
allowing companies that bid for
new offshore leases to avoid pay-
ing the standard 12%, or share
of sales, on the oil and gas those
leases eventually produced. The
Interior Department leases tens
of millions of acres of ocean
territory to oil producers in ex-
change for an upfront bid for the
lease, followed by royalties.
Supporters of the law argued
that not only would the incentive
reduce America’s dependence on
foreign oil, but that it would in
fact generate money for the gov-
ernment by prompting produc-
ers to bid higher prices for new
leases.
But the new regulations omit-
ted a crucial clause that had been
supported by both Republicans
and Democrats: that if average
prices for oil and gas climbed
above a certain threshold, com-
panies would be responsible for
paying the royalties. In 2006,
when the federal government
tried to impose royalties, an oil
producer sued and won.

URCHINS
CONTINUED FROM B3
“You can’t just go out and smash
them. There’s too many. I don’t
know what we can do.”
The explosion of purple sea
urchins is the latest symptom of
a Pacific Northwest marine eco-
system that’s out of whack.
Kelp has been struggling be-

INQUIRY
CONTINUED FROM B1
“there must be an objec-
tive, factual basis for ini-
tiating the investigation;
a mere hunch is insuffi-
cient,” according to Justice
Department guidelines.
When Barr appointed
Durham, the U.S. attorney
in Connecticut, to lead the
review, he had only the
power to voluntarily ques-
tion people and examine
government files.
Barr expressed skepti-
cism of the Russia investi-
gation even before joining
the Trump administration.
Weeks after being sworn
in this year, he said he in-
tended to scrutinize how it
started and used the term
“spying” to describe inves-
tigators’ surveillance of
Trump campaign advisers.
But he has been careful to
say he wants to determine
whether investigators act-
ed lawfully.
“The question is wheth-
er it was adequately pred-
icated,” Barr told lawmak-
ers in April. “And I’m not
suggesting that it wasn’t
adequately predicated. But
I need to explore that.”
Barr began the adminis-
trative review of the Russia
investigation in May, say-
ing that he had conversa-
tions with intelligence and
law enforcement officials
that led him to believe that
the FBI acted improperly,
if not unlawfully.
The FBI opened the in-
vestigation in late July
2016, code-named Crossfire
Hurricane, after receiving
information from the Aus-
tralian government that a
Trump campaign adviser
had been approached with
an offer of stolen emails
that could damage Hillary
Clinton’s campaign.
FBI agents discovered
the offer shortly after sto-
len Democratic emails
were released, and the
events, along with ties be-
tween other Trump advis-
ers and Russia, set off fears
that the Trump campaign
was conspiring with Rus-
sia’s interference.
The FBI did not use in-
formation from the CIA in
opening the Russia investi-
gation, former U.S. officials
Life Tributes
said. But agents’ views on
Russia’s election interfer-
ence operation crystallized
by mid-August, after the
CIA director at the time,
John Brennan, shared intel-
ligence with Comey about it.
The CIA did contribute
heavily to the intelligence
community’s assessment
in early 2017 that Russia
interfered in the 2016 elec-
tion and tried to tip it in
Trump’s favor, and law
enforcement officials later
used those findings to bol-
ster their application for a
wiretap on a Trump cam-
paign adviser, Carter Page.
The special counsel who
took over the Russia in-
vestigation in 2017, Robert
Mueller, secured convic-
tions or guilty pleas from
a handful of Trump asso-
ciates and indictments of
more than two dozen Rus-
sians on charges related to
their wide-ranging inter-
ference scheme.
In his report, Mueller
said that he had “insuf-
ficient evidence” to de-
termine whether Trump
or his aides engaged in a
criminal conspiracy with
the Russians but that the
campaign welcomed the
sabotage and expected to
benefit from it.
In interviewing more
than two dozen former
and current FBI and intel-
ligence officials, Durham’s
investigators have asked
about any anti-Trump
bias among officials who
worked on the Russia in-
vestigation and about one
aspect of the investigation
that was at the heart of
highly contentious allega-
tions that they abused their
powers: the secret applica-
tion seeking a court order
for a wiretap on Page.
Law enforcement offi-
cials suspected Page was
the target of recruitment
by the Russian govern-
ment, which he has denied.
Durham has also asked
whether CIA officials might
have somehow tricked the
FBI into opening the Rus-
sia investigation.
Durham has indicated
he wants to interview for-
mer officials who ran the
CIA in 2016 but has yet to
question either Brennan
or James Clapper Jr., the
former director of national
intelligence.

GOP attacks impeachment process

Republicans say hearings
unfair, demand House
authorization vote
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
AND MAGGIE HABERMAN
NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON — Republi-
cans in Congress struggled for
a second consecutive day Thurs-
day to defend President Don-
ald Trump against Democrats’
impeachment inquiry amid a
steady stream of damaging rev-
elations about his conduct, lev-
eling another symbolic objection
to a process they said was funda-
mentally unfair.
One day after House lawmak-
ers tried to block an impeach-
ment witness by sowing chaos
with a protest in the Capitol’s
secure meeting rooms, Senate
Republicans joined the fray by
offering a resolution condemn-
ing the House investigation and
demanding that Democrats hold
a formal vote authorizing the in-
quiry.
But the move left the presi-
dent’s allies in the same awk-
ward place they have been for
more than two weeks: unable or
unwilling to mount a vigorous
defense on the substance of the
allegations and focused instead
on trying to shake the public’s
faith in the House’s impeach-
ment process.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South
Carolina, a fierce defender of the
president and a lead sponsor of
the Senate resolution, dodged
questions Thursday about
the president’s dealings with
Ukraine. He called the impeach-
ment investigation “a star-cham-

news conference at the Capitol on Thursday. Graham introduced a resolution condemning the Democratic-
controlled House for pursuing a “closed door, illegitimate impeachment inquiry.”
ber-type inquiry” and accused
Democrats of pursuing an inves-
tigation that is “out of bounds, is
inconsistent with due process as
we know it.”
Graham, chairman of the Ju-
diciary Committee, and the 40
other Republican senators back-
ing the resolution are taking
their cues from a grievance-filled
president. Over lunch with a
small group of them at the White
House on Thursday, Trump com-
plained bitterly that he was the
victim of a never-ending politi-
cal assault by enemies who are
wielding an unfair process.
“He feels like it never stops,
that he’s been in office for, what,
three years now, and every time
he turns around there’s anoth-
er reason that his family, his
friends have to pay legal bills,”
Graham said. “He keeps telling
us he did nothing wrong.”
After another private meeting
Monday night with Sen. Mitch
McConnell, R-Kentucky, the
majority leader, Trump began
complaining privately that he
did not think Senate Republicans
were doing enough to have his
back. For days, some allies of the
president’s eldest son, Donald
J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trump Jr., had agitated on Twit-
ter for Graham to do more to try
to counteract Democrats in the
House.
On Thursday, before Graham
introduced his resolution, Trump
heaped praise on House Republi-
cans for their headline-grabbing
protest a day earlier. He thanked
them in a tweet for being “tough,
smart, and understanding in de-
tail the greatest Witch Hunt in
American History.”
Sensing their advantage,
Democrats have moved with re-
markable speed to investigate in
closed-door sessions the presi-
dent’s actions. Now, the party’s
leaders in the House are prepar-
ing for the next stage: high-pro-
file public hearings that could
begin as early as mid-November
and feature hours of testimony
damaging to the president.
Among the star witnesses who
could deliver explosive public
testimony in front of live tele-
vision cameras could be John
Bolton, the president’s former
national security adviser, who
has been described in testimony
as alarmed by what appeared to
be pressure on the Ukrainians by
Trump and his allies.
Democrats may also decide to
call a string of other diplomats
and administration officials, in-
cluding William Taylor, the top
U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, who
testified in excruciating detail
about a quid pro quo in which
Trump and his allies held up
security aid and a White House
meeting in exchange for an in-
vestigation into former Vice
President Joe Biden and his son
Hunter Biden.
Privately, White House officials
concede they are losing the mes-
saging battle with Democrats,
whose inquiry has produced a
series of devastating revelations
about allegations that the pres-
ident and his allies conducted a
campaign to pressure Ukraine
for his own political gain.
People close to Trump said
that the coming weeks will be
marked by an increased assault
on the integrity of the inquiry
itself as the White House tries to
avoid litigating the facts of what
took place between Ukrainian
officials and Trump’s loyalists,
including Rudy Giuliani, his per-
sonal lawyer.

Capitol for congressional
leader who died last week
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON — The late Rep.
Elijah Cummings, the powerful
Democrat whose booming baritone
and impassioned cries for decen-
cy reverberated through the halls
of Congress for more than two de-
cades, made history one final time
Thursday, as the first African Amer-
ican elected official to lie in state in
the U.S. Capitol.
A son of sharecroppers, he rose
to the chairmanship of the House
Oversight and Reform Committee,
which gave him a towering perch
from which to investigate Presi-
dent Donald Trump. Cummings,
68, who died last week after a series
of health challenges, was memori-
alized by congressional leaders in
both parties as a man of faith and
dignity, and a dedicated public ser-
vant, but also as a friend.
“Perhaps this place and this coun-
try would be better served with a
few more unexpected friendships,”
said a teary-eyed Rep. Mark Mead-
ows, the conservative North Caro-
lina Republican whose close friend-
ship with Cummings, despite their
strong political differences, was well
known in the Capitol. “I know I’ve
been blessed by one.”
Political luminaries and lawmak-
ers — including Cummings’ fellow
members of the Congressional
Black Caucus, many wearing Afri-
can kente cloth scarves — poured
into the Capitol to witness his cof-
fin draped with an American flag
Sharpton came. So did the former
House speaker, Paul Ryan.
“I’m feeling saddened, but at
the same time uplifted, that Elijah
Cummings got an honor that he de-
served,” Sharpton said, adding, “For
him to be a representative laying in
Statuary Hall is something he never
would have dreamed of.”
One luminary not in attendance
was Trump, whose fractious rela-
tionship with Cummings hit a low
point over the summer, when the
president attacked Cummings as a
“racist” and described the congress-
man’s home city of Baltimore as a
“disgusting, rat and rodent infest-
ed mess.” Cummings responded by
urging the president to visit.
Vice President Mike Pence, how-
ever, came to the Capitol early
Thursday afternoon, when the cof-
fin was moved to a spot in front of
the House chamber so the public
could come to pay respects. Thou-
sands of people lined up to do so.
Cummings’ loss was a profound
one inside the Capitol, especially
among freshmen, whom Cummings
took care to mentor. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi called him a “master
of the House” and a “mentor of the
House” and described how Cum-
mings asked to have as many fresh-
men as possible on his committee
because he saw in them so much en-
ergy and potential.
Two Democratic freshmen —
Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massa-
chusetts and Lauren Underwood of
Illinois, both black women whose
own elections made history last year
— walked out of Thursday’s cere-
mony with tears streaming down
their cheeks.

Fighting fills void left by US pullout

Casualties reported in
Syria as Assad, Putin,
Erdogan carve up region
By VIVIAN YEE
AND HELENE COOPER
NEW YORK TIMES
BEIRUT — Turkish forces
and Turkish-backed militias ap-
peared to have clashed with the
Syrian army and the Kurdish-led
militia in northeastern Syria on
Thursday, raising the tempera-
ture in a volatile area where the
Syrian government, Turkish
forces, Kurdish-led fighters and
Russia are maneuvering for po-
sition after the abrupt pullout of
U.S. troops.
Turkish-backed forces pushed
into several villages held by the
Syrian army, capturing one of
them and causing an unspecified
number of casualties, according
to the Syrian government news
agency. The Turkish-backed mi-
litias’ advance also forced the
Kurdish-led militia, the Syrian
Democratic Forces, to withdraw
from several villages, according
to the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, a Britain-based
war monitor.
Three SDF fighters were killed
in the battle, the group said
Thursday.
Fighting between the Kurd-
ish-led forces and Turkey would
violate the U.S.-brokered cease-
fire that President Donald Trump
said this week had brought peace
to the area. But fighters with the
Turkish-backed militias, known
as the Syrian National Army,
denied attacking the villages
Thursday.
With U.S. troops on the way
out and their former allies falling
back, the skirmishes Thursday
underscored that the future of
northeastern Syria was largely
in the hands of Turkey, the Syr-
ian government of Bashar Assad
and Assad’s patron, Russia.
Under an agreement Tuesday
between President Recep Tayy-
ip Erdogan of Turkey and Pres-
ident Vladimir Putin of Russia,
Turkish, Russian and Syrian
government troops will now
share control of the swath of
Syria vacated by the Americans
and Kurdish-led forces.
The power shift was evident in
other ways.
Erdogan demanded Thursday
that the United States hand over
Mazlum Kobani, the Kurdish
commander whose forces helped
the United States drive the Is-
lamic State group out of Syria.
Erdogan said he was “a terror-
ist” wanted for prosecution by
Turkey.
“We have an extradition trea-
ty with America,” Erdogan said
in an interview with TRT Haber,
the state news channel. “Ameri-
ca should deliver this guy to us.”
In a letter to Erdogan two
weeks ago, Trump suggested
that Erdogan meet with Kobani
rather than go to war. Erdogan,
who reportedly threw the letter
in the trash before going ahead
with his military offensive, said
Thursday that he was offended
by Trump’s suggestion because
Kobani was a wanted man.
In Washington, Pentagon offi-
cials said they have prepared sev-
eral options for the White House
to review that would keep a small
contingent of American forces in
eastern Syria — perhaps a few
hundred — to protect oil fields
now controlled by Syrian Kurds
who have been the U.S. military’s
main partner on the ground in
battling Islamic State fighters
in that part of the country. The
troops would also continue to
fight the Islamic State.

Tonight: TGIF.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★★ Your creativity surges;
however, others might not be as
open as you would like. Some
people are off on their own

a few days off. You could join the
frenzy, but you will first clear your
to-do list. Tonight: Participating in a
favorite pastime.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

good times roll.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Tonight: Who can resist you?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

remains of dictator Franco
By RAPHAEL MINDER
NEW YORK TIMES
MADRID — The Span-
ish government on Thurs-
day exhumed the remains
of the former dictator Gen.
Francisco Franco from
the underground basilica
that he built after winning
his country’s civil war.
The move had prompt-
ed criticism that, coming
just two weeks before a
national election, it would
reopen old rifts in Spanish
society.
Franco’s remains were
flown by helicopter from
the basilica where he was
buried in 1975 to a ceme-
tery near Madrid that con-
tains a family crypt where
his wife is buried and that
is beside El Pardo palace,
which Franco used during
his rule.
The exhumation and re-
burial followed a yearlong
judicial battle between the
caretaker Socialist gov-
ernment of Prime Min-
ister Pedro Sánchez and
relatives of Franco who
had sought to reverse the
decision.
Sánchez said Thurs-
day that the exhumation
would “bring an end to the
moral insult that is the ex-
altation of a dictator in a
public space.”
The government said
the exhumation would
cost about $70,000. But
Pablo Casado, the leader
of the opposition Popu-
lar Party, said last month
that not “one cent” should
be spent on exhuming
Franco, who governed the
country for almost four
decades after the coun-
try’s civil war in 1936-1939.
“I’m more worried
about living dictators than
dead ones,” Casado said.
“I would like to speak
about the Spain of my
children rather than that
of my grandparents.”
The exhumation took
place before a repeat na-
tional election on Nov. 10.
The vote — the fourth in
four years — was called
after Sánchez and his So-
cialist party won the last
election in April but then
failed to garner sufficient
support from smaller par-
ties to form a government.
The exhumation and
reburial of Franco lasted
about five hours. After
his tomb was opened, his
remains were carried out
of the basilica in his orig-
inal coffin by his relatives
and then flown to the cem-
etery amid heavy police
security. Francis Franco,
a grandson of the dictator,
sought to take a Spanish
flag from the Franco era
with him into the basilica,
but was stopped by the au-
thorities.
Before the exhumation,
a foundation dedicated
to Franco’s memory had
urged sympathizers to pay
homage to a leader who
“did so much for Spain
and its greatness.”
In the end, a few hun-
dred people gathered close
to the cemetery, among
them Antonio Tejero, a
former army officer who
led a failed military coup
in 1981, more than five
years after Franco’s death.
The exhumation also
turned into a heated po-
litical issue amid further
party fragmentation in the
country.
Vox, an ultranational-
ist party that won its first
seats in Parliament in
April, strongly contested
Franco’s removal from the
basilica.

BRIDGE Frank Stewart

In a close Spingold match at the
Summer NABC, Bryan Howard of
Nashville was declarer at today’s
partscore. North’s bid of two clubs
was the Drury convention, artificially
asking whether South had opened a
light hand in third position. Howard’s
two-heart rebid admitted to that.
West led a diamond: queen, king,
ace. Howard next led a spade to
dummy’s jack, and East won, cashed
the jack of diamonds and led another
diamond, ruffed by Howard.
How should declarer play the trump
suit?
East, who had passed in second
chair, had shown the K-J of diamonds
and king of spades, and Howard rea-
soned that East had a high club since
West hadn’t led one. With the queen
of hearts also (and maybe the jack of
clubs), East might have opened the
bidding. So Howard let the jack of
trumps ride for a “backward finesse”
through West. He then drew trumps
and finished with eight tricks.
How close was the match? Howard’s
team won by one IMP! If he fails at
two hearts, they lose.

hat pecorino you were planning to
grate into your holiday risotto? Or
the wedge of manchego displayed
on your Christmas cheese board? Start
hoarding them in the freezer. By the holi-
days, prices are expected to go up.
Last week, the Trump administration
slapped 25% tariffs on $7.5 billion worth of
European goods, including many popular
cheeses and other products, like French
wine and Spanish olive oil. With the
holidays looming, Bay Area importers and
distributors are scrambling to assess the
potential impact of the new tariffs.
But retailers, especially small business
owners, like Fred Zanotto of Zanotto Mar-
ket, know the reality. “If it’s a 25% tariff,
we’re going to increase our prices by 25%,”
says Zanotto, who owns four stores and a
deli in the San Jose area. “It’s going to be
inconvenient for us and our consumers.
The tariffs, which went into effect
Oct. 18, are in retaliation for illegal sub-
sidies that the EU provided to Airbus, the
European plane maker. They are intend-
ed to help the United States regain some
of the losses that a U.S. plane maker,
Boeing, sustained because of these trade
practices. Yes, that’s correct. Planes for
pecorino.
“It’s makes no sense,” says Sara
Baer-Sinnott, president of Old Ways, a
Boston-based nonprofit food organiza-
tion that advocates for traditional foods,
including cheese. “It’s our government
trying to balance trade with Europe, but it
doesn’t go together, airplanes with foods
people love.”
Nevertheless, just in time for holiday
entertaining, cheese lovers will likely face
sticker shock at the cheese counter for
their manchego and Parmigiano-Reggiano
— a hard cheese that already fetches
as everyone in the supply chain scrambles
to offset costs in the busy months ahead.
“We’re in a holding pattern,” says
Amanda Parker, managing partner of To-
males Bay Foods, a California distributor
that imports a few items, including Parmi-
giano-Reggiano. “Most of our partners are
holding tight with the holidays coming up
and offering to split the difference on some
of their products, because $40 a pound for
Parmigiano is not tenable. But the timing
couldn’t be worse.”
Even deciphering which cheeses are
victims of the levies and which escaped
the government’s list, which is loaded with
technical jargon — “Swiss or Emmentaler
cheese with eye formation, nesoi, not sub-
ject to gen. note 15 or to add. US note
25 to Ch. 4” — is difficult. Provolone is on
the list. French blues are not, but blue-
veined cheeses from Italy, Spain and the
U.K. are. Huh?

Microsoft rides cloud to big profits
By KAREN WEISE
NEW YORK TIMES
SEATTLE — Microsoft doesn’t have an
iPhone. It isn’t the Everything Store. It isn’t
a verb for “search.”
But it sure is good at making money.
The company reported earnings Wednes-
day afternoon, and results show that it con-
tinued to reel in huge profits. Sales for the
latest quarter were $33.1 billion, up 14%
from a year earlier, and profits rose 21% to
$10.7 billion. The results easily beat analyst
expectations.
While Microsoft’s past was built largely
on the back of its Windows operating sys-
tem, its future firmly rests in the cloud. It
has steadily risen to be the No. 2 provider of
cloud computing services, behind Amazon’s
AWS, which all but created the market. And
Microsoft is closing in on Amazon’s lead, an-
alysts say.
Despite concerns that businesses may cut
back on tech spending in the face of an eco-
nomic downturn, Microsoft executives said
they were bullish on the future as more cor-
porate customers moved to the cloud.
“I see long-term, secular growth opportu-
nities,” Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s chief exec-
utive, said in a call with Wall Street analysts.
Here are three major reasons for that op-
timism:
1. Microsoft’s cloud products are get-
ting better: Microsoft’s offerings used to
lag far behind Amazon’s. But as Nadella
has thrown the company’s weight behind a
transition to cloud computing, the company
has been catching up on the product front.
Microsoft is just a year behind Amazon now,
and it has some advantages with large cus-
tomers, said Keith Weiss, an analyst at Mor-
gan Stanley.
2. Cloud growth is shifting to
‘Microsoft country: As Microsoft’s cloud
products approach parity with Amazon,
more focus is expected to be placed on how
businesses buy and use those products.
Increasingly, the adoption of cloud ser-
vices will be driven not by early adopters
like startups or tech companies that have
helped propel Amazon into its lead, but by
large traditional businesses.
“If that is the next phase of growth, that is
Microsoft country,” said Karl Keirstead, an
analyst at Deutsche Bank.
Amazon and Google do not have as many
existing relationships with large companies
as Microsoft, Keirstead said. Amazon has
been furiously hiring sales and marketing
staff for AWS, investments that Amazon told
investors was a drag on profit last quarter.
3. Microsoft is leveraging Office 365:
Microsoft has continued to move customers
from its traditional Office suite of products
like Outlook and Excel to its cloud-based Of-
fice 365 service. In the quarter, Office 365’s
commercial sales rose 28% excluding cur-
rency fluctuations. The company said it had
more than 200 million monthly active busi-
ness users on Office 365.
The power of that suite is clear in the fast
adoption of Teams, a chat and collaboration
tool that competes with Slack and Google
Hangouts. While Slack has more function-
ality, analysts say, Teams has become good
enough for companies to adopt. Also, be-
cause Microsoft bundles it with other Office
365 products, it is available at a very low cost.

SANTA CLARA — When
Christian McCaffrey made
his NFL debut two years ago
against the 49ers, the former
Stanford star wasn’t viewed in
the same light as today.
“In our first year, it felt like
he was a scat back and change-

his touches but didn’t think
he’d hurt us,” 49ers defensive
coordinator Robert Saleh said.

Carolina’s offense undis-
putedly revolves around McCaf-
frey, though that did not stop
coach Ron Rivera from touting
the Panthers’ supporting cast.
“One thing I try to stress as
far as our offense is concerned,
is that we have a lot of play-
makers, a lot of tools and a lot
of weapons,” said Rivera whose
team comes to Levi’s Stadium
Sunday. “The biggest thing
we have to do is to continue to
spread the ball around.”
Continue? Um, let’s look at
the stats.
McCaffery accounts for 56%

287), 41% of their offensive yards
(923 of 2,250) and 53% of their

rusher has more than seven car-
ries. McCaffrey has a team-high
53 catches, and his 305 receiving
yards are topped only by D.J.
Moore (425 on 33 catches).
“If I had to describe it, it’s a

said.

Cardinal Newman High
School’s football team can
clinch at least a tie for the
North Bay League-Oak Divi-
sion title Friday night with a
win at Maria Carrillo, where
the lights will be on after some
concern that they might not be.
PG&E’s planned power shut-
off that canceled classes at
Maria Carrillo on Thursday
ended late in the afternoon, so
the game will go on as sched-
uled with a 7 p.m. kickoff after
contingency plans were made
in case the outage lasted into
Friday.
The powerful Cardinals (7-1,
3-0 NBL-Oak) are on a
four-game winning streak and
are two victories away from
posting a perfect league record.
Cardinal Newman coach Paul
Cronin says his team is where
he wants it to be.
“It’s Week 9 of the season, so
hopefully we are improving,”
Cronin said. “We are trying to
get more sound every week.”
Playing on senior night, host
Maria Carrillo (4-4, 1-2) will
present challenges for the Car-
dinals and is looking to bounce
back from a 55-21 drubbing last
week at Rancho Cotate.
“There is still room for im-
provement, but we are certain-
ly playing better ball than we
had been at the beginning of
the year,” Higgins said. “Cardi-
nal Newman is playing pretty
good football right now. When
you play a team that is on top

clean and solid.”

NBA » CLIPPERS 141, WARRIORS 122

Leonard overpowers Warriors again

Clippers’ big offseason
prize leads rout of team
he beat in NBA Finals
By JANIE MCCAULEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Kawhi
Leonard spoiled the Warriors’
first game at Chase Center just
as he did their farewell at Oracle
Arena four months ago, scoring
21 points in three quarters to
lead the Los Angeles Clippers
to a 141-122 victory Thursday on
opening night at Golden State’s
snazzy new arena.
Reigning NBA Finals MVP
Leonard shot 9 for 17 and also
dished out nine assists in his sec-
ond game with LA after leading
the Toronto Raptors to their first
title last season in a six-game fi-
nals against the Warriors.
Stephen Curry scored
23  points and D’Angelo Russell
added 20 in his Golden State de-
but, but the Warriors got beat up
the way they used to do against
the entire NBA, even giving up a
46-point third quarter.
What a dud for the Dubs as
they formally opened new Chase
Center in San Francisco after
47 years at Oracle Arena in Oak-
land.
Patrick Patterson scored
20  points and Ivica Zubac had
16 points, 10 rebounds and two
blocked shots for Los Angeles.
In a rematch of the
hard-fought first-round playoff
series last season won by the
Warriors in six games on their
way to a fifth straight finals, the
Clippers jumped to a 14-0 lead
making 5 of their first 6 shots.
Golden State started 0 for 6 and
missed four 3s. Russell’s jumper
at 8:23 gave Golden State its first
points and he scored the War-
riors’ initial seven before Curry
hit a 3 at 6:42.
The Los Angeles Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard shoots next to the Warriors’ Glenn Robinson III during the first half of
Thursday’s game in San Francisco. Leonard scored 21 points to lead the Clippers.
The Warriors got a scare
when they briefly lost Dray-
mond Green at the 9:03 mark of
the opening quarter after he ap-
peared to injure his right elbow
on a screen.
Green returned to the court
at the start of the second and
wound up with 11 points.
Curry, who at 31 is the oldest
Warriors player, was 2 of 11 on

arena — he’s still figuring his
way around the building — but
noted “I’ll miss everything about
Oracle. It’s a great place to play.”
Some fans left after the third
quarter with the home team
trailing 111-87.
Leonard and Patrick Bever-
ley were booed during pregame
introductions for the Clippers,
who beat the Lakers 112-102 in
their opener Tuesday with Leon-
ard scoring 30 points on 10-for-19
shooting.

entire season recovering from

BART or drove to the most easi-
ly accessible major sports venue
in the Bay Area, then watched
the game in an arena that, while
perfectly adequate, did not give
anyone a feeling of luxury.
2019: Warriors fans poured
into a building with dark-hard-
wood bars, sweeping views
of San Francisco Bay and the
world’s most overbearing video-
board, after getting to the game
via a BART ride, a MUNI connec-
tion, a 30-minute walk, scaling a
retaining wall and crawling the
last quarter-mile in a drainpipe.

2017: The Warriors lost to the

Spurs by 29 points on opening
night, and everyone said, “Ha,
that’s cute. The boys really
stunk it up. Oh well, it’s October
and the game didn’t mean any-
thing and please tell me again
how many of these we have to
watch before the Dubs face LeB-
ron in the NBA Finals again.”
2019: The Warriors lost by
19 to the Clippers and it was
taken as irrefutable proof that
the reigning Western Confer-
ence champions are crumbling
before our eyes, that the next six
months will be an exercise in
excruciating basketball and that
life has lost almost all meaning.
2014: The Warriors held the
Sacramento Kings to 77 points,
31% shooting overall and 17%
shooting on 3-point attempts
while forcing 26 turnovers in a
defensive tour de force.
2019: The Warriors surren-
dered 141 points to the Clippers,
who hit 62.5% of their shots and
54.5% of their 3-pointers. It was
a defensive farce, the first time
in a decade Golden State had
allowed that many points.
2018: Rookie Jacob Evans
was a “healthy scratch” for the
Warriors. He suited up, but Kerr
didn’t particularly need him,
so Evans never made it into the
game.
2019: Evans was the third
player off the bench for the War-
riors, and wound up playing 21
minutes. (He was a bright spot,
too, with four made 3-pointers.)
Because Kerr needs any wing
player he can find right now.
2017-18: None of the guys
who started against the Rockets
or Thunder, respectively, were
making their Warriors debuts.
It was a battle-hardened crew,

what the other four would do on
the court.

what to do without having to be
told by the coach.
2019: The Warriors were
assessed a technical foul with
4:06 left in the game when Kerr
called a timeout following a
Mo Harkless dunk, though he
had already used his allotted
amount.
“I instinctively just take a
timeout whenever we give up an
over-the-top transition basket,”
Kerr said afterward. “If we
let someone behind us, it’s an
automatic timeout. I actually
thought we had one left. … It
didn’t matter. I wanted to get
D-Lo (Russell) out of the game.
The game was over.”
2014-18: In all five seasons,
the Warriors followed up open-

VOLLEYBALL St. Vincent-St. Pat’s — because

CONTINUED FROM C1
and 3 kills.
Lions coach Becky Sani said
she doesn’t see her team mov-
ing past a projected No. 4 seed in
NCS, and not going below like-
ly No. 5 seed Roseland (a team
they’ve beaten several times) but
thinks her team can take down
the likely No. 1 seed, University
of San Francisco.
But before the Lions can wor-
ry about the top dog, they’ll have
to face likely No. 13 seed St. Vin-
cent-St. Patrick’s of Vallejo, who
eliminated them last year.
The Bruins eliminated El Mo-
lino after the Lions were forced
to travel to Vallejo — despite
having a better record than
the East Bay school won their
league title.
Sani cited her team’s increased
ability and senior leadership
with Senal and daughter Kassi-
dy Sani for thinking this year’s
contest will be a more winnable
matchup.
As for the top seed, Cardinal
Newman coach Jeff Nielson said
he’s going to petition for it, cit-
ing the Cardinals’ wins against
Montgomery — including on
Thursday in straight sets, 25-19,
25-15, 25-15 — and University’s
loss to the Vikings in a tourna-
ment.
“I think we’ve worked hard to
get to that point,” he said. “At
some point but we have to play
everybody, but it’s certainly nice
to be at home throughout the
playoffs.”
Cassie Taylor led the Car-
dinals on Thursday (24-5, 9-1
NBL-Oak) with 15 kills. Cami
Loxley had eight kills and six as-
sists, Julia Donlon had five kills,
Kimi Waller notched five kills,
six aces and 21 assists, and Lau-
ren Vice had 14 digs.
Sonoma Valley finished off an
incredible nine-game league win
streak (after starting its Vine Val-
ley Athletic League schedule 1-2)
with a nail-biting straight-set win
against Petaluma, 27-25, 25-18,
27-25.
The Dragons (14-5, 10-2 VVAL)
had to win against Petaluma
on Thursday and Vintage on
Wednesday for atleast a share of
the league crown. Sonoma Valley
and Vintage will be co-champi-
ons, but Perkins said the Drag-
ons won a tiebreaker determined
before the season started that
gives them the right to be the
league champion representative
from the VVAL in the Division 3
NCS playoffs.
Maria Carrillo also finished its
league schedule Thursday with
a five-set win against Windsor,
25-14, 25-17, 23-25, 20-25, 15-9.
Lindsay Heller led the
way for the Pumas (22-10, 8-2
NBL-Oak) with 13 kills, 24 as-
sists and 20  digs, Beth Orosz
had 18  kills and Anna Kenebel
notched nine kills, five blocks
and two aces. On the defensive
side of things, Hailey Madsen
had 50 digs, Sophia Ramazotti
31  digs, Sylvie Thivault 28 digs
and Sophie Nied 22 assists.
Coach Chris Woodbury said
she isn’t sure of her team’s
seeding, but she is happy to
see the team rebound from a
not-so-great 2018 to be in the
postseason this year. She be-
lieves they will host at least one
game in NCS Division 2.
The first round of the North
Coast Section playoffs is Tues-
day and Wednesday, at the sites
of the team with higher seeds in
the division bracket. The quar-
terfinals for all divisions will be
on Saturday, Nov. 2 and the semi-
finals on Wednesday, Nov. 6 for
all divisions. The finals will take
place on Saturday, Nov. 9.
The NCS is allotted 25 entries
into the CIF state NorCal cham-
pionships, which start Nov. 12.
The lone Redwood Empire
volleyball champion from last
year was Calistoga, which won
the Division VI title against Jew-
ish Community High School of
the Bay in four sets. The Wild-
cats ended up losing to Redding
Christian in the NorCal tourney.

NFL » RAIDERS
Rookie carrying heavy load
Running back Jacobs has
become workhorse for
Oakland this season
By JOSH DUBOW
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The biggest
question surrounding Josh Ja-
cobs coming into this year’s
draft was whether he could be
an every-down back in the NFL
after splitting time in Alabama’s
loaded backfield.
Just six games into his profes-
sional career, a player who had
more than 16 carries just once
in three years in college is show-
ing the ability to be a workhorse
for the Oakland Raiders, with
47  carries for 247 yards in the
past two games.
“When he’s running like he’s
running, you have to feed the
beast,” coach Jon Gruden said.
“He’s hungry. He doesn’t want
to come out of the game, either.
This guy wants to be a great
back. To do that he has to play
through some tough injuries
and some tough spots. We are
going to try to be careful with
him, we have been. I’ll just say
this, this is one heck of a young
football player. One of the best
I’ve ever been around at this age.
He’s really impressive.”
Jacobs hurt his shoulder
when he initiated contact with a
defender on his first carry of the
game last week against Green
Bay. He went briefly to the lock-
er room during the first drive to
get a pain-killing shot and then
returned to finish off another
strong performance with 21 car-
ries for 124 yards.
He hasn’t practiced so far this
week but said Thursday that he
plans to play Sunday against
Houston even if he can’t prac-
tice this week. Jacobs also said
he has no plans to dial back his
physical play to protect his body.
“I’m going to play my game,”
he said. “I never play think-
ing about injuries or worrying
about injuries. Just play fast and
whatever happens, happens.”
The game against the Pack-
ers followed up his 26-carry,
123-yard day against Chicago
The Raiders’ Josh Jacobs runs during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers in
Green Bay, Wisconsin. Jacobs, a rookie, has run for 247 yards over the past two games.
the previous game as Jacobs
became the first Raiders play-
er since Justin Fargas in 2007
to record back-to-back 120-yard
games.
If he’s able to do that again
this week against a Houston
defense that hasn’t allowed a
100-yard rusher in 23 consecutive
regular-season games, he will
join Marcus Allen and Napoleon
Kaufman as the only Raiders to
do that in franchise history.
“I just try to play and let the
results speak for themselves,”
Jacobs said. “I want to be a Hall
of Fame player. I don’t try to
compare myself to anyone. I just
want to be the best I can be. I just
want to win.”
Jacobs leads all rookies with
554 yards rushing and four TDs
on the ground and needs just
144  yards to break Allen’s fran-
chise record for rookies.
He also leads the NFL with
3.9 yards per rush after contact,
according to Pro Football Focus,
showing both a physical style
and elusiveness to thrive in the
NFL as a runner and a receiver.
“It’s unbelievable how good
he is,” quarterback Derek Carr
said. “I could give him the ball
right here from me to you and
he’ll end up over there, make
eight guys miss and we’re all
high-fiving each other for a first
down, you know what I mean?
It’s definitely a luxury as a quar-
terback. It’s one of those luxu-
ries you see with these guys like
Ezekiel Elliott or Todd Gurley or
Saquon Barkley. ... It’s a beauti-
ful thing when you have a guy
like that because it takes a lot of
stress off the play caller. It takes
a lot of stress off the quarter-
back and the offensive line that
a guy can do both.”
It’s been quite a start for
someone who was just a
part-time player in college. He
had double-digit carries just sev-
en times in his career and ran for
100 yards only once as he shared
MIKE ROEMER / ASSOCIATED PRESS
time with Damien Harris and
Najee Harris. Jacobs finished
his college career with 251  car-
ries for 1,491 yards (5.9 per carry)
and had 48 catches for 571 yards
but showed enough to be the
first running back taken in the
draft at No. 24 overall.
“We were confident when we
drafted him based on his size
and makeup,” offensive coor-
dinator Greg Olson said. “He’s
had two games here where early
in the game he got dinged and
had to go to the locker room. But
both those games he came right
out and got right back into the
action. That was great to see.”
Notes
C Rodney Hudson (ankle) and
RG Gabe Jackson (knee) were
limited after missing practice
Wednesday. ... DE Arden Key
(knee) was also limited and is ex-
pected to return for the first time
since getting hurt in London on
Oct. 6.

Andonovski to be hired
as US women’s coach
Vlatko Andonovski has agreed
to become the next coach of the
U.S. women’s national team, two
soccer officials familiar with
the decision told the New York
Times, and will be introduced as
the 10th coach in the program’s
history early next week.
Andonovski, who spent
the last two years as coach of
Reign FC in the National Wom-
en’s Soccer League, will replace
Jill Ellis, who announced in
July that she would step down
as coach after leading the team
to its second straight World Cup
championship. Ellis departed
with 106 victories, the most in
the team’s storied history, and
only seven losses.
Andonovski has not signed a
contract with U.S. Soccer, but a
deal is expected to be completed
in time to introduce him as Ellis’
replacement early next week.
Andonovski, a 43-year-old
Macedonian American immi-
grant, spent years as a player for
European clubs and in Ameri-
can indoor leagues before mov-
ing into coaching. As a coach
in the NWSL, he has become a
familiar face to the members of
the U.S. team, including a hand-
ful who have played for him, and
a respected voice in American
women’s soccer.

panded Club World Cup in 2021
but delayed a decision on how
the 24 slots for the tournament
will be distributed.
A proposal on how many
teams would qualify from the six
confederations was shared with
FIFA Council members for ap-
proval at a meeting in Shanghai
on Thursday, including Europe
having eight participants.
But a vote on the participa-
tion model was pulled because
Oceania’s only way of qualifi-
cation would be its Champions
League winner first defeating
the domestic champion of host
nation China in a playoff.
Oceania is pushing for a guar-
anteed place in the group stage
in China in June 2021.

NFL NOTES GOLF

Cousins gets revenge against Redskins

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dalvin Cook had 171 total
yards and the game’s only touch-
down, helping Kirk Cousins beat
his old team on the first try and
carrying the Minnesota Vikings
to a 19-9 victory over the visiting
Washington Redskins on Thurs-
day night.
Cook, the NFL leader in
yards from scrimmage, rushed
23 times for 98 yards and caught
five passes for 73 yards for the
Vikings (6-2) in their fourth
straight victory.
Cousins went 23 for 26 for
285 yards without a turnover
against the Redskins (1-7), who
drafted him in 2012 and made
him the full-time starter in 2015.
Case Keenum, the quarter-
back Cousins replaced, had his
return to Minnesota spoiled by
a concussion that kept him out
of the second half. Keenum also
lost a fumble on a first-quarter
sack.
Rookie Dwayne Haskins
threw an interception deep in
Minnesota territory when the
Redskins trailed by only seven
points.
Another former Vikings
standout, Adrian Peterson, had
14 carries for 76 yards and in the
process moved up to sixth place
on the NFL’s career rushing list.
Vikings wide receiver Stefon
Diggs caught all seven passes
that came his way from Cousins,
racking up 143 yards to make
sure the Redskins didn’t com-
pletely sell out to stop the run.
Alexander Mattison added 61
yards on 13 rushes, and Minne-
sota more than doubled Wash-
ington’s total yardage, 434-216.
Browns’ Landry clarifies
boast about facing Patriots
Jarvis Landry either deliv-
ered bulletin-board material
to the New England Patriots or
provided another lesson in the
perils of social media.
During an interview with re-
porters Thursday, Cleveland’s
wide receiver was asked how he
thought the Browns would play
coming out of their bye week.
They visit unbeaten New Eng-
land on Sunday.
“Well, we’re going to win,”
Landry said. “We’re going to
win. I think it’s just that simple.
We get guys back healthy again
and we’re going to win.”
Landry never mentioned the
Patriots, but within minutes
Twitter was buzzing with com-
ments that he had guaranteed
a victory over the defending Su-
per Bowl champions.
Asked to clarify his remarks,
Landry said he wasn’t pre-
dicting a win. He stressed the
Browns intend to go to Foxbor-
ough, Massachusetts, to win.
That’s not what got relayed to
the Patriots.
Linebacker Kyle Van Noy
was told by media members
that Landry had guaranteed the
Browns would beat the Patriots.
“Oh, he did?” said Van Noy,
who asked if Landry had provid-
ed extra motivation to he and his
teammates. “Nah, we’re focused
on us.”
Jets coach keeping mum on
dispute over guard’s surgery
Adam Gase is keeping the fo-
cus of his team on the field, not
the escalating feud off it.
The New York Jets coach opt-
ed Thursday to not address the
standoff between the team and
guard Kelechi Osemele, who
is having surgery on his right
shoulder Friday — whether or
not the team approves it.
“You have to ask those guys,”
Gase said, referring to general
manager Joe Douglas and the
Jets’ front office. “I haven’t been
involved in this.”
Osemele says he needs sur-
gery now on his torn labrum
and can’t play through the pain,
while the Jets think the guard
can hold off and remain on the
field, based on medical reports.
New York has been fining
Osemele for sitting out practice,
which he did again Thursday.
Osemele and his representatives
have filed a grievance against
the Jets.
PGA Zozo Championship
postponed in Japan
Organizers on Friday post-
poned the second round of the
Zozo Championship in Japan
due to heavy rain.
Tiger Woods was tied with
Gary Woodland after both play-
ers shot 64 in the opening round
of the PGA’s first event in Japan
on Thursday.
Woods is making his first start
in his 23rd season on the PGA
Tour, needing one victory to
reach 82 wins and tie the career
record held by Sam Snead.
The Zozo tournament is part
of three tournaments that make
up the PGA Tour’s Asia Swing,
including the CJ Cup in South
Korea won last week by Justin
Thomas and the HSBC Champi-
ons in Shanghai next week.
■ Minjee Lee overcame a
series of changing weather
conditions at the LPGA’s Buick
Ladies Championship in Japan
to take a one-stroke lead with a
bogey-free 6-under 66 in the first
round Thursday.

49ers in the 2017 opener. He set
a Panthers record last year with
1,965 scrimmage yards.
Coach Kyle Shanahan called
McCaffrey a “special” player
whose do-everything ability is
reminiscent of Hall of Famer
Marshall Faulk.
“They’re doing a great job on
how to use him, because they
are using him as much as pos-
sible,” Shanahan said. “ … You
can tell he’s a very smart player,
extremely talented and that’s
why he’s being mentioned with
some of the best in the league
this year.”
Joe Staley update
Left tackle Joe Staley prac-
ticed for a second straight day,
albeit in a limited role, as he
works off the rust from his Sept.
15 fibula fracture. He lists him-
self as day-to-day, but it’s more
likely he’ll hold off from return-
ing to game action until next
Thursday in Arizona.
out there, not get in any work
(in practice) and go play on Sun-
day,” Staley said. “That’d be det-
rimental to the team.”
When Staley sustained a sim-
ilar fracture in 2010, it came in
his ninth game, so there was no
shot of returning that season,
unlike this injury.
“Today it feels good and we’ll
see how it feels tomorrow and go
from there,” Staley said.
Practice notes
Fullback Kyle Juszczyk
(knee), right tackle Mike Mc-
Glinchey (knee) and cornerback
Ahkello Witherspoon (foot) re-
main out while rehabilitating.
Juszczyk said Wednesday
about his knee: “Honestly, I ha-
ven’t experienced a lot of pain,
even when the injury first hap-
pened. It’s a weird feeling, where
it just feels unstable and my
range of motion was pretty lim-
ited at first.”
Wide receiver Dante Pettis
(knee) was added to the 49ers’
injury report and limited in
practice. Receiver Deebo Samu-
el (groin) has been limited this
week but is expected to return
from a one-game absence.

f there’s a secret sauce
to create balance in this
off-kilter world of ours,
you’ll likely find it at the
TEDxSonomaCounty event
Saturday, Nov. 2.
Balance, how to find it
and sustain it, is the theme
of the program, which
begins at 1 p.m. in the
Jackson Theater at Santa
Rosa’s Sonoma Country
Day School.
The big ideas worth
sharing will come from
nine speakers, a proverbial
melting pot of inspiration,
and the lineup includes
daredevils, comedians, art-
ists and industry leaders.
“We believe that in
2019, life has become even
more complex and there
are more unpredictable
challenges to deal with,”
said Marilyn Nagel, TEDx-
sought after.”
This is the eighth annual
event of TEDxSonoma-
County, a local organiza-
tion that’s an offshoot of
TED, the global foundation
devoted to “ideas worth
spreading.” TED was
conceived in 1984 as a con-
ference to bring together
three worlds: Technology,
Entertainment and Design.
The local organization
operates with a free license
from TED, and neither
organization profits from
any events they hold.
With well over 100 sub-
missions for the TEDx-
SonomaCounty event,
organizers selected a group
of speakers to inspire,
uplift and, yes, provoke.
“This year’s speakers

thinking, offer suggestions
for action, and they are

for the best ‘big ideas’
related to the event’s theme
of balance and then were
guided by TED’s three
pillars: Technology, Enter-
tainment, and Design.
“Then we overlaid that with
consideration of each speak-
er’s appeal to ‘head,’ ‘heart’
and ‘humor,’” Nagel said.
“Our goal is to have a
program that includes

event.”
The ultimate goal, she
explained, is to have people
walk away with “new ideas

to share the Jackson The-
ater with the greater com-
munity. But the volunteer
committee now extends
beyond people affiliated
with the school.
The theater can accom-
modate 775 people and in
recent years the event has
sold out.
Organizers said the
audience makeup is
weighted to multigenera-
tional families in Sonoma
County from all indus-
tries and walks of life.
Roughly 10 to 15% come
from the greater Bay Area
and beyond.
Tickets cost $65 for
adults and $25 for stu-
dents and are available at

Comedy to take aim at your anxieties
Tthe holidays are coming;
relax now with some
streaming distractions
By JASON ZINOMAN
I
NEW YORK TIMES
f the news is too stressful, and
you’re looking for some jokes
to distract you as the weather
gets colder, here are some very
funny and varied stand-up spe-
cials that have come out this fall
and are online right now.
Netflix: Jenny Slate,
‘Stage Fright’
It’s currently in vogue to fuse
stand-up special and documenta-
ry, alternating the comics telling
jokes onstage with footage from
their lives, including interviews
with family members.
Only a few weeks after Gary
Gulman invited audiences into
his childhood home, Jenny Slate
does the same in this special, now
showing: She tells jokes before
showing interviews with her
parents, grandmother and two
sisters. (Craig Ferguson adds to
the subgenre next month with
“Hobo Fabulous.”)
These personal scenes echo
the humor in unpredictable, even
oblique ways. After showing us
old notes she wrote about a high
school crush named Trevor,
that name pops up in a later bit.
Slate makes jokes about how her
childhood home in Massachu-
setts was haunted, and there is a
clever way that the scenes with
her family provide clues to her
subconscious.
She calls herself an optimist
early on, but her peppy charis-
ma has hints of melancholy, an
undercurrent that emerges more
explicitly when she talks about
divorce and dating. At its best,
the documentary footage feels
revelatory.
Netflix: Nikki Glaser, ‘Bangin’’ mark. (His impromptu rant about of this comedy that it can feel like
Nikki Glaser can write a joke
that’s so economical and perfectly operatic temper tantrums in
calibrated that it’s bulletproof.
Take this one from her new spe-
cial: “I was diagnosed as an ugly
child by a caricature artist at a Six Onstage or in his podcast, he
Flags.” Pretty much anyone can
get a nice laugh from that gem.
In the noble tradition of Dave
Attell, Glaser specializes in the

lean and harried joke. But in her
addictive radio show on Sirius,
where she conducts juicy con-
versations with comics about the
stuff you usually say in private,
the punchlines emerge in a looser
mode. In one episode, she ex-
plains to an ex-boyfriend, comic
Pete Lee, that only when she had
a new ex to loathe could they be
friends. “I’m monogamous with
hate and polyamorous with love,”
she says.
What makes her new Netflix
hour, “Bangin’,” so much fun is
that she somehow manages to
merge these two styles, talking to
the audience as if it were an old
friend that it’s time to level with.
By beginning with a long riff
on oral sex, she invites compar-
isons with Jacqueline Novak’s
recent show on the subject, “Get
on Your Knees,” which finds
laughs by waxing poetic and
philosophizing.
Glaser is much more down-
to-earth. Her setups talk about
puberty or sober sex with zero tit- “There’s something about slip-
illation. She’s aiming for giggling ping into that coffinlike thing.”
sighs, not giddy shocks.
As anyone who has seen her
ferocious roast of Alec Baldwin
will attest, she can go on the
attack with force, but her default
is warm self-deprecation that
occasionally bleeds into vulner-
ability.
Netflix: Bill Burr,
‘Paper Tiger’
There is a quick but affecting
moment in Bill Burr’s new spe-
cial when he describes how heart- the predictable complaints about
breaking it is to see his 2-year-old cancel culture and people who
daughter notice his anger. He
has tried to muffle it. But now, he
says, he’s got to change, to avoid
passing down the “demon in my
family tree.”
It’s startling how much Burr
talks about finding calm and
forgiveness in “Paper Tiger,” a
robustly funny special. Bristling
anger has long been his hall-

comedy history.)
But Burr has always been
more complex than he appears.

blowhard at the bar, but his great- decades, so it’s only fair that a
est jokes are about the prison of
masculinity.
TELEVISION
It’s currently in vogue to fuse stand-up special and documentary,
alternating comics telling jokes onstage with footage from their lives,
including interviews with family members.That’s just what Jenny Slate
does in her special now on Netflix.
His new bit about how men
can’t take baths is a fine addition
to this genre. “There’s no way as a
man to take a bath and not think
about killing yourself,” he says.
He’s very smart but constantly
calls himself dumb. His cocki-
ness pivots into vulnerability.
As strong as his point of view is,
Burr gravitates toward argu-
ments and shifting perspectives.
His jokes are finely engineered
and presented in an order to
increase their contradictions, to
add incongruities. This comes
into stark relief when he address-
es #MeToo. He insults feminists,
delights in trolling and trots out
are triggered.
But listen closely and you can
find enough material to argue
that he gives a passionate defense
of #MeToo, one far more per-
sonal than any A-list male comic
has. And yet he also delivers a
broadside against its excesses
that seems to make a case for for-
giveness. It’s a sign of the quality
a polemic and its opposite at the
same time.
Comedy Central:
Jaboukie Young-White
Straight male comics have
been telling gay panic jokes for
gay comic has turned the tables.
Describing a mixed-martial-arts
NETFLIX
class, Jaboukie Young-White says
his instructor told him that when
he’s put in a chokehold, he must
do whatever it takes to escape.
As he mimes being choked,
Young-White moans, “Daddy!”
After he explains that this
strategy worked, he builds on the
punchline with a shrugging deliv-
ery: “Sometimes love wins.”
Already a rising star, Young-
White makes a breezy and assured
stand-up special debut (available
online at cc.com) in “Comedy
Central Stand-Up Presents,” a
series of half-hours. Most of the
jokes here will be familiar to his
die-hard fans, but for others, this is
a winning if low-key introduction
that shows off a variety of comic
modes, starting in a “bro”-y char-
acter and moving into multimedia
with the help of a slide show about
which insects are gay.
The special hits its stride when
it gets to the point where he tells
jokes in his own voice, without
visual aids. Loping around the
stage with eyelids at half-mast, he
hides his swagger behind an off-
hand style, but he’s smart enough
to let the mask slip periodically.
He knows he’s not ugly: “On a 1
to 10 scale, I don’t think I could
model, but I could definitely end a
Republican senator’s career.”
Netflix: Mike Birbiglia,
‘The New One’
Mike Birbiglia’s latest one-man
show will launch globally on
Netflix on Nov. 26 — news that
arrives just before a monthlong
BEST OF
D9
run of “Mike Birbiglia: The New
One” kicks off in Los Angeles..
Directed by Seth Barrish and
filmed at the Cort Theatre on
Broadway, “The New One” sees
Birbiglia opening up about the
highs and lows of bringing a child
into the world. The comedian
spent a few years writing the
90-minute show with his wife,
Jennifer Hope Stein, and based
the material on his experiences
during the first 13 months of
daughter Oona’s life.
“She’s 4 years old now, and
she’s incredible,” Birbiglia said
of Oona. “But we were writing
it when the wounds of that time
were very fresh, and all that fric-
tion and pain and frustration are
interesting for a play.”
It’s a period Birbiglia has been
discussing onstage since “The
New One” debuted off-Broadway
over a year ago. His memoir, “The
New One: Painfully True Stories
From a Reluctant Dad,” will hit
shelves in May.
“Yeah, I’m done talking about
parenting,” he joked. “My state-
ment for all of time is, basically,
nobody knows anything, and all
you can do is your best.”
Netflix aired Birbiglia’s 2017
special, “Thank God for Jokes.”
The streaming service’s come-
dy archive houses standup sets
alongside specials like Hasan
Minhaj’s “Homecoming King,”
Colin Quinn’s “The New York
Story” and John Leguizamo’s
“Latin History for Morons” - one-
man specials that are structured
similarly to Birbiglia’s work.
“The only game in town for
years for comedy specials with-
out commercials was HBO,” Bir-
biglia said. “But their sensibility
of what they programmed didn’t
really fit with what I do. I’m not
edgy, I don’t curse a ton, and I do
more of a long-form storytelling
thing than stand-up.
“That they’re interested in
something that’s more free-form
and less defined, it’s great in
terms of getting my shows out
to the universe,” he said. But
then he realized what he had just
admitted on the record.
“That’s literally something
I’ve never said to anyone, and
I’m happy to say it, but it actually
also gives me terrible leverage
for my next negotiation,” he said
with a laugh.

ONE SMOOTH CAT
You know how panthers slowly slink
through the rainforest, looking majestic
in their shiny black coats? That’s me! I
may have a slight mobility issue but my
ability to slink is not hampered a bit! I
just need to have easy routes to get to
all the comfy napping places I’m going to
find in my new home. At 7 y/o, mellow is
my middle name. I’ll love a gentle person
to give me scritches and perhaps an
easy-going cat to pal around with too.
Come meet your handsome new house
panther at HSSC today!

the book on late-night televi-
sion with Trevor Noah and
Conan O’Brien. The actor has
already gotten a boost from
Stephen Colbert, who invited
Lithgow to read a couple of
stanzas. “Colbert’s show is
very much the venue for my
poems,” Lithgow said.
Written on April 1, right
after the release of Robert
Mueller’s report on his two-
year investigation into Rus-
sian interference in the 2016
election, the verse Lithgow
chose to read on-air began:
“The Report was at hand and
Dumpty was manic/Awash
in a flood of distemper and
panic.”
Lithgow knows his book
won’t play well with the crowd
that likes to go to Trump
rallies wearing red Make
America Great Again caps,
but he’s not concerned.
“I don’t really worry about
that. I’ll be preaching to the
converted for the most part,”
Lithgow said, with appearanc-
es in front of liberal audienc-
es starting in New York and
ending with Marin County.
While the subject of the
book is political, some of its
inspiration is theatrical, with
Lithgow rewriting the lyrics
of songs from “The Sound
of Music” and Gilbert and
Sullivan operettas. In the
mind’s ear, a reader can al-
most imagine Julie Andrews
singing, “These are a few of
my favorite lies.”
While Lithgow thoroughly
enjoyed writing the 112-page
volume, and illustrating it
with the first of his delicate
and funny line drawings ever
to be published, he knows that
“Dumpty” ultimately may not
have a long shelf life.
“It’s a curious thing about
political satire. By the time
the piece comes out, it’s no
longer current,” he said. “I
think of it as history.”
Aiming to follow in the
literary tradition of Lewis
Carroll, Edward Lear and A.
A. Milne, Lithgow brandishes
a wickedly versatile vocabu-
lary and wrestles his words

constructions.
For example, consider this
jab at conservative political
commentator Sean Hannity:
“Grow up!/And be a mannity!/
Or find another planet-y ...”
Is the book one-sided? Well,
of course it is, but the author
addressed the president’s fans
— after a fashion — in the
book’s introduction.
“Though I myself can’t
fathom it, I acknowledge your
sincere devotion to Dumpty,
that strange, splenetic man,”
Lithgow wrote. “I see you on
TV laughing, cheering and
chanting at his rallies.”
More wistful than combat-
ive, the actor — ever civilized
— added a brief afterthought
near the end of our interview.
“I am bewildered by
Trump’s popularity,” the
actor conceded. “I have been
waiting years for it to erode.
I don’t know if that will ever
happen.”
The book is just one more
testament to Lithgow’s
impressive range, from his
lavishly honored portrayal of
Winston Churchill on tele-
vision’s “The Crown,” to the
almost forgotten 1984 classic
Halloween cult film, “The Ad-
ventures of Buckaroo Banzai
Across the 8th Dimension.” In
that antic little romp, which
co-starred Jeff Goldblum,
Lithgow played dual roles as
both a mad scientist and an
alien invader.
“I absolutely loved that
movie,” he said with a hearty
laugh. “There are not many
things I’ve done that were
more fun.”
