GETTING OUT AFTER
TALIBAN’S TAKEOVER
Unofficial network that
includes Dana Point
mayor helps families
of interpreters evacuate
By Erika I. Ritchie
eritchie@scng.com
Hours before the deadly bomb-
ing attack at the Kabul airport’s
Abbey gate, the 20-year-old wife
of an Afghan interpreter and
his mother made it through and
joined the tens of thousands evac-
uating on flights before the U.S.
completed its withdrawal from
Afghanistan.
Farid, 30, who had inter-
preted for American forces and
is now a U.S. citizen living in Or-
ange County, had flown back to
Afghanistan in May to wed the
young woman, Wajmah, imme-
diately filing the request for her
visa but thinking there was time
for the process. But as the Tali-
ban gained control of the coun-
try much faster than expected, his
bride was in danger because of his
service to the U.S.
Retired Marine Lt. Col. Jamey
Federico, who had previously
helped his interpreter get out of
Afghanistan in 2015, jumped in
again to help find safe passage
for Wajmah and Farid’s mother,
who now had the appropriate
immigration documents in hand
but had to pass through check-
points and various dangers along
the streets of Kabul to get to Ma-
rines waiting at the airport gate.
(Only their first names and those
of other Afghans interviewed are
being used because of safety con-
cerns.)
Federico, now the mayor of
Dana Point, first tried official gov-
ernment channels but ultimately
relied on a network of veterans,
Marines he worked with before,
some on the ground in Kabul, and
friends of friends to complete the
mission.
While the State Department of-
ficials manning the airport where
overwhelmed by crowds looking
to evacuate, military veterans cut
through the red tape and built
their own networks using social
media, encrypted phones, Google
maps and military training to get
hundreds of former interpreters
they served with and other Af-
ghans at risk to safety, people
who had helped Americans and
were supposed to be eligible for
passage out of the country. Even
after the Aug. 30 withdrawal, they
continue to aid where they can.
“The whole network was just
everyone trying to do what they
can and see what sticks,” Federico
said.
To get Wajmah and Farid’s

New law
CALIFORNIA
on DUIs

conflict
Diversion bill stirring confusion
and leading to disparities in
first-time misdemeanor cases
By Joe Nelson
jnelson@scng.com
A new California law that allows judges to
grant diversion to first-time misdemeanor DUI
offenders has created a quagmire in the legal
system, leaving criminal defense attorneys and
prosecutors warring over its interpretation and
judges conflicted over a lack of clarity.
One attorney described the law, introduced last
year as Assembly Bill 3234 by Assemblyman Phil
Ting, D-San Francisco, as the most litigated is-
sue in the state since it took effect on Jan. 1. Dis-
trict attorneys in Riverside, Los Angeles and Sac-
ramento counties have challenged it in their Su-
perior Court appellate divisions.
Opponents argue that the new law, which falls

Ohana Festival restarts after rain delay with rousing sets
By Kelli Skye Fadroski
kfadroski@scng.com
On Friday afternoon, as fans
made their way into the fifth an-
nual Ohana Festival at Doheny
State Beach in Dana Point, the
skies looked a bit ominous. Pa-
trons on the event shuttle, which
started in Aliso Viejo for the
20-minute ride to the venue, be-
gan checking their phones and
texting others about the random
bursts of rain hitting various
parts of Southern California.
“It’s only a 40% chance,” one
concertgoer announced as we
exited the shuttle and headed
toward the stages located on a
sprawling grassy area among
swaying palm trees and just
steps from the Pacific Ocean. It
seems every year during the Ed-
die Vedder-curated event, there’s
a light sprinkle or some sort of
rain in the forecast. In 2018, Ve-
dder opened the fest by break-
ing out his ukulele and singing
“Here Comes the Sun” as the
storm clouds drifted away.
Perhaps the Pearl Jam front-
man should have tried that
magic again this year.

and thunder started to rumble.
As the music was abruptly cut
and the band ushered off stage,
large drops of rain began to pelt
the crowd and there was an an-
nouncement over the PA that we
were being evacuated due to in-
clement weather conditions.

whom did not park on-site due
to limited availability, were
told to return to their vehicles
and await further instructions
via social media channels. The
wind picked up and thunder and
lightning crashed as the sky be-
gan to dump heavy rain. Fans
scrambled for any sort of shel-
ter, some opting to hold onto
their pricey cocktails and sip on
them under the cover of palm
trees in the parking lot. One fes-
tivalgoer was heard complain-
ing that the rain was watering
down her drink.
In all, the weather postponed
the festival by about an hour
and a half, and once the storm
had rolled through it was back
to the music. Sets were rear-
ranged to accommodate all of
the acts and the headliner, Ved-
der. He wasn’t originally sched-
uled to top the bill since he al-
ready doing so Saturday and
playing with Pearl Jam today.
However, rock band Kings of
Leon announced the day before
that they had to cancel its fes-
tival appearance because of a
family emergency back home
in Tennessee. Betty Ann Mur-
phy, the mother of band mem-
bers Caleb, Nathan and Jared
Followill, died Friday evening
following what the brothers re-
ferred to on social media as a
“medical crisis.”
Vedder paid tribute to Kings
of Leon and Murphy during his
set by playing Pearl Jam’s “Long
Road” and covering the band’s
“Molly’s Chambers.” He told the
audience that he had gotten the
opportunity to meet her, adding,
“You would know how magnifi-
cent she was by the young men
she raised.”
“We’re grateful to be here,”
Vedder said, opening the set
with a cover of R.E.M’s “Drive.”

OC Fair
gun shows
may be in
jeopardy
If Gov. Newsom signs
bill, events likely over
By Alicia Robinson
arobinson@scng.com
Aside from a tentative event in
November, the OC Fair & Event
Center in Costa Mesa might never
host another gun show.
The fairgrounds’ Board of Di-
rectors declined Thursday to pre-
approve contracts for up to five
gun shows in 2022 — and if Gov.
Gavin Newsom doesn’t veto a bill
that would ban them at that loca-
tion, the ban would take effect in
the new year.
The bill from state Sen. Dave
Min, which must be acted on by
Oct. 10, includes an exception for
contracts already signed before
Jan. 1. In a meeting Thursday, fair
board members voted to postpone
consideration of next year’s con-
tracts for the Crossroads of the
West gun show until January; by
then, the issue could be moot.
Gun shows have occurred at
the OC fairgrounds since 1996
and have brought the venue more
than $7 million in revenue over
that time, according to infor-
mation from fair officials. Fair-
grounds CEO Michele Richards
said in some years revenue has
been close to $1 million, includ-
ing parking and food and bever-
age sales.
B&L Productions, the company
that puts on Crossroads of the
West shows, had asked the board
to consider advance approval of
contracts for next year’s shows
while it looks for a new venue, but
the move prompted criticism the
fair board was trying to make an
end run around what soon may
be law.

ACURA GRAND PRIX
OF LONG BEACH
Meet the man

annual quest

A clean white T-shirt and a
black marker.
Those are the only tools Doug
Pitt needs — along with a smile
on his face — to undertake his
annual quest at the Acura Grand
Prix of Long Beach: getting as
many signatures as he can.
Pitt, a Downey resident, has
headed to downtown Long Beach
during the set up for the street-
racing weekend for 30 years,
searching for autographs from
those involved with the Grand
Prix.
But getting signatures is a com-
mon activity at the Grand Prix,
as it is at any sporting event. The
Grand Prix, in fact, hosted an au-
tograph session with this week-
end’s competitors on Friday, the
first day of Long Beach’s biggest
annual event.
What makes Pitt’s quest truly
quixotic, however, is his hierarchy
of those he seeks out:
Crew members.
Team owners.
Drivers.
The professional drivers, the
Grand Prix’s celebrities and rai-
son d’être, bring up the rear on his
list, Pitt said, because they tend
to take up too much real estate,

HEALTHY LIVING SPOTLIGHT
Compassion and creativity go hand in hand in engaging
adults living with high-acuity Alzheimer’s
Ben Allen has learned firsthand the
power of creativity. In his role as Programs
& Education Specialist and Memories in
the Making® Coordinator for Alzheimer’s
Orange County, Allen facilitates monthly
art sessions for Alzheimer’s residents in
communities, adult day programs and senior
centers throughout the county, including
Woodbridge Terrace of Irvine, a Kisco
Senior Living Community.
The Alzheimer’s Association Memories
in the Making® program offers creative
art expression for individuals with mild
cognitive impairment in the early to the
middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease and
related dementias. The program launched
in Orange County in 1988 and has spread
throughout the U.S.
“The art that comes out of the program
is really amazing,” says Allen, who curates a
yearly art exhibit.
Art, he says, gives us insight into who the
person is. “It’s a way of engaging individuals
with dementia in a process that allows them
to find creative expression. We learn things
about the artist that come out in the creative
process.”
Allen also has a personal involvement
with Alzheimer’s — Judy, his wife of 37
years, lives with memory loss and has
resided in a long-term care setting for
more than seven years. That experience has
nurtured his passion to support families
suffering with memory loss, he says.
The knowledgeable and compassionate
associates at Woodbridge Terrace embody
that same passion in caring for their
high-acuity residents — who often present
challenging medical conditions and exhibit
unpredictable needs. Woodbridge’s memory
care neighborhood, Connections, offers 24-
hour licensed vocational nursing, personal
care services, two-person assists and Hoyer
lifts as well as partnerships with visiting
physicians.
Woodbridge’s signature Art of Living
Well® programs focus on the intellectual,
spiritual, vocational, physical, emotional and
social wellbeing of each resident, treating
them to a robust calendar of daily activities
that includes ample time for music, arts and
crafts and other creative pursuits.

conversation about memory loss is never
easy. His advice? Pay attention, observe,
don’t criticize and don’t test. During a quiet
time, find a way to talk to your loved one
about it. Then, just listen.
Education remains our best tool, he says.
“Find out what’s really going on and then
start doing the things that support the best
quality of life for everyone. And remember
to keep dancing.”

“We’re grateful you can be
here, and we are grateful
the rain cleared.”
Though he was a last-
minute fill-in for the eve-
ning, Vedder brought out
a mighty group of players
on stage, including Red
Hot Chili Peppers drum-
mer Chad Smith, guitar-
ist and producer Andrew
Watt, bassist Pino Palla-
dino, vocalist-guitarist
Glen Hansard and former
RHCP guitarist and current
Pearl Jam touring mem-
ber Josh Klinghoffer. It felt
very loose and yet perfect.
The band covered the Who
and Prince with “I’m One”
and “Purple Rain,” respec-
tively, and rocked through
Pearl Jam’s “Corduroy”
and “Porch.” Vedder even
debuted some new music,
including “Long Way” and
“Tender Mercies.”
The extra time in the
schedule went to My Morn-
ing Jacket, which played an
incredible hour and a half
long set that began with the
moody “Victory Dance” and
wrapped with the rousing
“Wasted.” There were sev-
eral highlights, including
vocalist Jim James howling
into the night during “Cir-
cuital” and mixing up the
delivery on “I’m Amazed”
with guitarist Carl Broemel
My Morning Jacket took advantage of some extra stage time Friday and played for an hour
and a half at the Ohana Festival.
before the rest of the band
kicked in.
During the fest, the au-
dience got to hear two ver-
sions of Fleetwood Mac’s
“Dreams.” Earlier in the
day, Durand Jones & the
Indications played the song
as guests were welcomed
back into the venue and
they let the crowd loudly
sing the “Thunder only
happens when it’s raining”
line. Though its version was
fun and funky, folk band
Caamp’s rendition was stir-
ring and totally beautiful.
Psychedelic and soul out-
fit Black Pumas set was a
whirlwind of fun, but the
crowd really got into its sin-
gle, “Colors.” One of the real
standouts of the day was
the Regrettes, a punk rock
band from Los Angeles led
by the fearless Lydia Night.

“This is our first festival
back,” she told the crowd. “I
wanna see some dancing.”
Despite the dampness
left behind by the rain,
people danced as the Re-
grettes played a new song
off its forthcoming al-
bum “Monday,” which had
dropped a day earlier, and
had some fun with songs
like “I Dare You” and “Pic-
ture Perfect.”

family owns B&L, could
not be reached for com-
ment Thursday after-
noon. But Tiffany Cheu-
vront, an attorney repre-
senting Crossroads of the
West, told board members
that buyers at shows fol-
low the same rigid stan-
dards as customers at gun
stores, and that no Orange
County crimes have been
linked to the shows.
Though board mem-
bers largely debated con-
cerns about losing reve-
nue if the gun shows
end and whether to send
Newsom a letter on that
topic, several residents
who spoke argued polit-
ical aspects of the issue.
Speaking to the board
via Zoom, one man said
many of the vendors at
gun shows are small
businesses and some fo-
cus more on hunting,
fishing and other out-
door activities rather
than guns. “It represents
a culture of like-minded
people and it’s a viola-
tion of the First Amend-
ment if you try to can-
cel that.”
A nother speaker
pointed out Min cam-
paigned on eliminat-
ing gun shows, so to op-
pose his bill and sched-
go “directly against the
will of the voters and the
families and community
that you serve.”
Fair Board member
A shleigh A itken said
she believes the OC Fair
& Event Center would be
able to replace gun show
revenue, perhaps by put-
ting on more of its own
events rather than rent-
ing out the grounds to
third parties.
A lon g t ime boa rd
member, Aitken recalled
pushing to get cigarette
smoking out of the an-
nual OC Fair, which for
many is a family event.
It took several years of
gradual steps, she said,
but ultimately plenty of
fairgoers were happy
with a smoking ban.
“Change is hard, but
sometimes change is the
right thing to do,” she
said.
Fairgrounds spokes-
woman Terry Moore said
there’s a tentative No-
vember gun show date,
but the board has not ap-
proved a contract for it.
Gov. Newsom has un-
til Oct. 10 to sign Min’s
bill. If he signs it, or ap-
proves it without sign-
ing, the bill will become
law. If Newsom vetoes
the bill, the fair board
likely would take up
2022 gun show contracts
in January.

To show where the virus is spreading we calculate the number of new cases in the previous two weeks per 10,000 residents with the following formula:
61 170 (Total cases on September 24 - total cases on September 10) / population x 10,000. On some occasions, a county, state or country may correct their totals, which may result in negative numbers.

is underway at the beach
this weekend, though ap-
parently competition for
the day had ended. But a
freelance news videogra-
pher said hundreds of peo-
ple were in the area at the
time.
Ana Leticia watched
as police chased the man
before firing at him. She
posted a photo on social
media just after the shoot-
ing showing a half-dozen
officers observing the man
as he was on the ground. At
least one officer appeared to
point a pistol at him.
“I thought I heard fire-
works — when I turned
around these cops were fol-
lowing the guy,” Leticia said
in a direct message on Twit-
ter. “Then they shot him.”
The man, described as
Latino, was taken to a hos-
pital, Carey said. His name,
age and condition were not
immediately available.
The police officers who
shot at the man wore body
cameras, which were acti-
vated during the incident,
Carey said. The footage will
be a part of the investigation.
Police said a gun was re-
covered at the scene.
A bystander video shared
with TMZ shows three of-
ficers with weapons drawn

was already rolling around

about 6 feet away from him.

ing in the video.
Within seconds, two
other officers join the
group, also with weapons
drawn toward the man. As
he lay on his side, the man
points his finger, at which
point the officers open fire.
It was not clear, from the
grainy video, whether the
man held anything in his
hands.
At least five pops can
be heard in rapid succes-
sion. The crowd yelps and
screams.
The officers wait about
30 seconds with their guns
still drawn on the man, who
lay motionless, before mov-
ing in to remove items from
him, as well as appearing to
tend to his wounds.

Though the U.S. Open
surfing competition drew
beachgoers on Saturday,
the competition had ended
for the day when the shoot-
ing took place, a World Surf
League spokesperson said
in a statement.
“The WSL is aware of

event site after competition
ended for the day. All ath-

ment said.
Orange County sheriff’s

officials said.
Local activists began to
organize around Saturday’s
shooting and were planning
actions, calling for the offi-

son, founding member of
Black Lives Matter-Hun-

“This is what we’re fight-

Johnson said. “What we

courage to even try the
machine-generated waves.
“It’s amazing. To me, I’d
describe it like walking on
water.”
Even more surfers who
have never ridden an ocean
wave may be popping up
at a man-made wave near
you — and sooner than you
think.
The waves of the fu-
ture are here, some at ex-
isting surf pools and oth-
ers planned for the Coach-
ella Valley, just a few hours
away from the Southern
California coast.
Sure, there’s plenty of
purists who refuse to pay
for waves and prefer the
ocean as their playground,
but with more wave pool
options on the way, many
surfers can’t help but be cu-
rious about the novel waves
to come.
A new wave
T he Nor th Shore of
wave pools is coming to
the Palm Springs area.
That’s how Chris Klue-
sener, managing partner
of Surf Park Central, de-
scribes the developments
in the pipeline in South-
ern California.
The group held its first
Surf Park Summit in La-
guna Beach in 2013, when
only a few wave pools were
being designed and plenty
of skeptics shrugged off
the idea that machines
could actually mimic the
ocean. Attempts had been
made for decades, but
mostly they turned out
like rivers, rushing water
toward a surfer.
The same two-day con-
ference on Oct. 4 and 5
will bring together inves-
tors, developers, suppliers
and the curious public to
learn about technolog y
advances and regulations
as wave pools pop up here
and around the world.
Surf Park Central’s goal
is to be the hub for arti-
ficial-wave advancement,
to help people navigate
unchar ted waters, but
also to help set standards
in the industry for every-
thing from safety to envi-
ronmental footprints.
There are seven main
technolog ies in use
around the globe, rang-
ing from what pro surfer
Kelly Slater’s team came
up w ith for the Sur f
R anch in L emoore to
Wavegarden, which has
four locations in Europe
and one each in South Ko-
rea, Brazil and Australia.
Each wave technolog y
has it’s own style and the
waves are unique to their
designs.
“We’re very optimistic,”
Kluesener said of the pop-
ularity of wave pools. “But
the bottom line is there
are still some Wild West
elements of surf parks.”
Surf Ranch, which can

cost tens of thousands of
dollars to rent out for a
day, has rides that last
nearly a minute. It offers
a destination element,
with surfing guides, air-
streams people can stay
in and Gobea’s farm-to-
table cuisine.
In Waco, Texas, people
can nab a one-hour ses-
sion for $80, but rides are
closer to 15 seconds, and
it’s more of a “minimal-
ist experience” with not
much for on-site food or
entertainment or guid-
ance riding the waves,
Kluesener said.
Most likely, as more
technologies and waves
are built, the economies
of scale and competition
will drive prices down,
he said.
“Not that it’s bad to
have a really expensive
wave,” K luesener said.
“But it’s not a wave acces-
sible to everyone.”
A wave of the future
T he T her ma l Bea ch
Club, planned for 240

of Indio, plans to use

chines, similar to what’s

ing, learning and sharing
with family and friends,”
its website says.
The DSRT SURF proj-
ect is planned for 17-acres
within the Desert Willow
Golf Resort, city-owned
land developed in 1998.
The surf lagoon will be
on 5.5 acres. The “surf
center” will have a surf
academy, restaurants, a
bar and retail shops. The
hotel will have 92 rooms
and suites, and there will
be 83 residential villas.
Coral Mountain planned
in La Quinta will be using
the same technology as the
Surf Ranch, and another
in the works is the Palm
Springs Surf Club, recycling
an old water park facility,
that will use SurfLoch tech-
nology, also just announced
for a new development in
Australia.
“Each one of those is
a dif ferent technolog y.
Each might target a dif-
ferent type of user,” Klue-
sener said, comparing
it to how a skier would
chose between powder or
groomed runs, black dia-
mond or bunny slopes.
T he new wave pools
means the region could
open a new hub for surf
tourism.
“People don’t come to
Palm Desert for surfing
right now, but they will,”
Kluesener said. “Mostly,
Canadian retirees are
coming. Now they are
going to have Canadian
retirees and adventure
tourism.”
Woodie W hite, who
lives in Los Angeles but
is originally from Chi-
cago, might be part of
the target market. White
recently caught his first-
ever wave at the Sur f
Ranch.
He of ten hikes w ith
groups down to the To-
panga Beach near Mal-
ibu but has never braved
the waves.
“This is amazing,” he
said. “I get it. I would like
to be a park surfer, not an
ocean surfer.
“It’s not the water,” he
added. “It’s not drown-
ing or going under or
any thing. It’s the crea-
tures below. It’s too much

all the movies terrified
me.”
But that doesn’t mean
there’s no risk. Safety is a
key aspect wave pool de-
velopers need to consider,
Kluesener said of the need
for industr y standards
when it comes to every-
thing from lifeguards to
water cleanliness.
But, there’s also the
risk of too much regu-
lation, he said. Surfing
anywhere, ocean or pool,
c ome s w it h i n her ent
wipeout and injury risks.
“It shouldn’t shut down
if someone dings their
board or falls,” Kluesener
said. “There is a customer
education component that
is important.”
There’s also the envi-
ronmenta l impac ts to
consider. One of the three
partners at Surf Park Cen-
tral runs a Stoked Certi-
fied program that looks at
surfing destinations, both
ocean and surf parks, to
give sustainability rank-
ings based on consider-
ations such as drought
conditions, reducing en-
v ironmental footprints
and plastic consumption.
“ It ’s a que s t ion of
choosing a site where the
geography is appealing
and the local community
wants to have a surf park
there for tourism,” Klue-
sener said. “It shouldn’t
be built in a place where
it would jeopardize agri-
culture. Site selection is
absolutely critical.”
Michael Schwab is one
of the investors and now
a licensee of the Kelly
Slater Wave Co. who is
teaming with Meriwether
Cos. on a project in Coral
Mountain. The wave ba-
sin in the planning there
will use the same technol-
ogy as found in Lemoore,
though it will have larger
bays to allow for more
surfers.
“I would say there is no
comparison to catching
and riding a perfect wave
in the ocean, but it’s elu-
sive and unpredictable,”
he said in an email. “The
idea of pushing a button
and creating a 6-to-8-foot
barreling wave is the vi-
sion Kelly Slater showed
me in 2010.”
Three years later, he
agreed to invest.
Current plans for the
400 -a cre C ora l Moun-
t a i n proper t y i nclude
600 homes and a bou-
tique hotel w ith up to
150-rooms. The pool it-
self will be 12 acres, ac-
cording to Cheri Flores,
pla nnin g ma nager for
the city of La Quinta.
The project is expected
to go before the Planning
Commission by the end of
the year, she said.
The future is here
While the Surf Ranch
can be a costly adven-
ture, more and more surf-
ers are figuring out how
to ride the wave as the op-
erator begins to open up
programming for more
groups and is offering
half-day experiences.
Friends are getting to-
gether to split the cost to
get a taste of the waves.
Corporations are holding
team-building sessions for
employees. Nonprofits are
renting it out for fundrais-
ers, a creative way for peo-
ple to give back but also
get a Surf Ranch experi-
ence.
Surf Ranch operators
won’t release pricing, say-
ing sessions are based on
groups’ specific needs.
A Walk on Water, a
Malibu-based nonprofit
that serves children with
special needs, is host-
ing its second fundraiser
at the Sur f Ranch on
Sept. 21.
The cost is $5,500 for
each of the 16 surfers, who
share a pair of hourlong
sessions with only four
other people in the water,
said Scott Desiderio, the
AWOW organizer.
“It’s obviously a once-
in-a-lifetime experience
to go surf the Kelly Slater
wave pool, which is amaz-
ing in itself, but at the
same time it’s a chance
for an incredible opportu-
nity to give back to an or-
ganization that helps kids
with special needs,” Desid-
erio said.
W hether wave pools
will pop up along coastal
California is unknown,
though Kluesener said he’s
heard of no less than half
a dozen proposed.
Look out at any crowded
lineup dotted with surfers
for an indication on how
a wave park would do in
surf-rich areas, he said.
“You can see,” he said.
“T here’s plenty of de-
mand.”

Vaccine boosters could mean billions for firms

How much they make
depends on how big
rollout turns out to be
By Tom Murphy
The Associated Press
NEW YORK >> Billions more in prof-
its are at stake for some vaccine
makers as the U.S. moves toward
dispensing COVID-19 booster
shots to shore up Americans’ pro-
tection against the virus.
How much the manufacturers
stand to gain depends on how big
the rollout proves to be.
U.S. health officials late Thurs-
day endorsed booster shots of the
Pfizer vaccine for all Americans
65 and older — along with tens
of millions of younger people who
are at higher risk from the coro-
navirus because of health condi-
tions or their jobs.
Officials described the move as
a first step. Boosters likely will be
offered even more broadly in the
coming weeks or months, includ-
ing boosters of vaccines made by
Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
That, plus continued growth in
initial vaccinations, could mean
a huge gain in sales and profits for
Pfizer and Moderna in particular.

FEDERAL BUDGET

House Budget Committee panel OKs $3.5T bill

By Alan Fram
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> Democrats
pushed a $3.5 trillion, 10-
year bill strengthening so-
cial safety net and climate
programs through the
House Budget Committee
on Saturday, but one Dem-
ocrat voted “no,” illustrat-
ing the challenges party
leaders face in winning the
near unanimity they’ll need
to push the sprawling pack-
age through Congress.
The Democratic-domi-
nated panel, meeting virtu-
ally, approved the measure
on a near party-line vote,
20-17. Passage marked a
necessary but minor check-
ing of a procedural box for
Democrats by edging it a
step closer to debate by the
full House. Under budget
rules, the committee wasn’t
allowed to significantly
amend the 2,465-page mea-
sure, the product of 13 other
House committees.
More important work
has been happening in
an opaque procession of
mostly unannounced phone
calls, meetings and other
bargaining sessions among
party leaders and rank-and-
file lawmakers. President
Joe Biden, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi of San Fran-
cisco and Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer, D-
N.Y., have led a behind-the-
scenes hunt for compro-
mises to resolve internal
divisions and, they hope, al-
low approval of the mam-
moth bill soon.
Pelosi told fellow Dem-
ocrats Saturday that they
“must” pass the social and
environment package this
week, along with a sepa-
rate infrastructure bill and
a third measure preventing
a government shutdown on
Friday. Her letter to col-
leagues underscored the
pile of crucial work Con-
gress’ Democratic majority
faces in coming days and
seemed an effort to build
urgency to resolve long-
standing disputes quickly.
“The next few days will
be a time of intensity,” she
wrote.
Moderate Rep. Scott Pe-
ters, D-San Diego, joined all
16 Republicans on the Bud-
get committee in opposing
the legislation.
His objections included
one that troubles many
Democrats: a reluctance to
back a bill with provisions
that later would be dropped
by the Senate.
Many Democrats don’t
want to become politically
vulnerable by backing lan-
guage that might be con-
troversial back home, only
to see it not become law.
That preference for voting
only on a social and envi-
ronment bill that’s already
a House-Senate compro-
mise could complicate Pe-
losi’s effort for a House vote
this week.
Peters was among three
Democrats who earlier this
month voted against a plan
favored by most in his party
to lower pharmaceutical
costs by letting Medicare
negotiate for the prescrip-
tion drugs it buys.
Party leaders have tried
for weeks to resolve differ-
ences among Democrats
over the package’s final
price tag, which seems sure
to shrink. There are also
disputes over which initia-
tives should be reshaped,
among them expanded
Medicare, tax breaks for
children and health care,
a push toward cleaner en-
ergy and higher levies on
the rich and corporations.

TOURISM
The Grand Princess sets sail from the Port of Los Angeles
on Saturday afternoon, marking the first cruise ship
sailing from the port since the cruise industry’s pause in
operations with the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Cruises are back
at Port of L.A.
By Jo Murray
Jo@JoVenture.com
“The Love Boat soon
will be making another
run.”
So go the lyrics of the
famous television show
from the 1970s and ’80s.
And Saturday, a cruise
ship made another trek
from the Port of Los An-
geles World Cruise Center
Berth 93 — the same spot
where the opening “Love
DUI
FROM PAGE 1
under the state penal code,
conflicts with an existing
state vehicle code section
that precludes judges from
granting diversion to DUI
offenders in lieu of crimi-
nal penalties.
At the judicial level, it has
created glaring disparities
in who is granted diversion,
which allows for eventual
dismissal of charges, and
who isn’t, essentially based
on which judge a defen-
dant appears before and in
which county the charges
were filed.
Prosecutors, criminal
defense attorneys and law-
makers have been seeking
clarification from higher
courts or new legislation
to resolve the conflict.
“This is what is happen-
ing now. It’s like a wildfire
going through the courts,”
said Lara Gressley, a crim-
inal defense attorney in
Riverside specializing in
DUI cases.
In June, she petitioned
the state Supreme Court to
weigh in after a Los An-
geles Superior Court judge
denied her motion to grant
diversion to a client.
The Supreme Court de-
clined to review Gressley’s
case, which she attributes
to the absence of any lower
court appellate rulings on
the issue.
Gressley said the new
law is vexing judges who
are having a difficult time
deciding which way to go.
“ T hey ’re continuing
cases for months at a
time in hopes there will
be a court of appeal opin-
ion,” Gressley said. “Ev-
erybody wants a court of
appeal ruling, because
that is binding across all
courts in California. Now
we’re left just flapping in
the wind. It has to get fig-
ured out.”
In the courts
Since Ting’s legislation
went into law, Superior
Court judges have had dis-
cretion to grant diversion
in misdemeanor DUI cases
largely based on the sever-
ity of the offense, such as
the defendant’s blood al-
cohol level, speed, where
the offense occurred and
whether any property was
damaged.
DUI offenses that cause
injury to another person
are usually charged as fel-
onies and do not quality
for diversion under the
law.
Prosecutors immedi-
ately began filing motions
within their respective Su-
perior Court appellate di-
visions maintaining that
DUI offenders do not qual-
ify for diversion due to Ve-
hicle Code Section 23640.
Some appellate division
judges have sided with
prosecutors, and others
have not.

Boat” credits were filmed.
When the 951-foot
Grand Princess left the Los
Angeles port around 4 p.m.,
it was the first time a cruise
ship had set sail from there
since the coronavirus pan-
demic began last year.
The ship departed on
a five-day Cabo San Lucas
Getaway about a month af-
ter the Carnival Panorama
became the first cruise line
to leave the Port of Long
Beach since March 2020.
On July 27, a three-
judge panel in R iver-
side Superior Court’s ap-
pellate division denied a
motion by District Attor-
ney Mike Hestrin, vot-
ing 2-1 that DUI defen-
dants are, in fact, eligible
for pretrial diversion un-
der the new law. Hestrin
and Senior Deputy Dis-
trict Attorney Chris Bouf-
fard filed the motion af-
ter judges granted diver-
sion to three defendants in
separate DUI cases.
Two weeks prior — on
July 14 in Los Angeles
County Superior Court —
appellate division judges
unanimously ruled that
DUI defendants do not
qualify for diversion. They
maintained that when the
Legislature approved AB
3234, it was “silent on
whether misdemeanor di-
version can be granted in
driving under inf luence
cases,” and that the new
law did not repeal the ve-
hicle code provision.
In Orange County Supe-
rior Court, some appellate
division panels have con-
cluded that misdemeanor
DUI offenses do not qual-
ify for diversion, and oth-
ers have declined to hear
petitions that raise the is-
sue, court spokesman Kos-
tas Kalaitzidis said in an
email.
Disparity in rulings
In her petition to the
Supreme Court, Gressley
said the lack of an appel-
late court decision on the
conf lict has resulted in
a “vast disparity in rul-
ings” by trial court judges
across the state.
“The lack of guidance
on the questions has re-
sulted in inconsistent rul-
ings throughout the state,”
Gressley said in her peti-
tion.
She cited 11 DUI cases
f r om ei g ht S up er ior
Courts across the state, in-
cluding Riverside, Orange
and Los Angeles counties,
in which five defendants
were granted diversion
and five were denied. In
the 11th case, a judge said
further review was neces-
sary.
More getting
diversion
In Riverside County,
more than a dozen DUI
defendants have been
granted diversion since
the new law took effect,
said Deputy Public De-
fender Souley Diallo. Some
judges, however, are still
reluctant to grant diver-
sion, even after the favor-
able appellate division rul-

Macho bags the record at MLB stadium
Russell terrier from
Malibu is fastest dog
to round the bases,
and he has an official
plaque to prove it
By Hans Gutknecht

It’s official. Macho, the
speedy, balloon-biting Rus-
sell terrier, is a world re-
cord holder.
Macho became the fast-
est dog ever to run the bases
at a Major League Baseball
stadium, scooting around
the base paths in a time of
21.06 seconds at Dodger Sta-
dium on Friday.
The tiny speedster from
Malibu was timed by a
Guinness World Records
adjudicator who flew into
Los Angeles from New York
to record the historic ca-
nine event.
“I didn’t sleep at all, ner-
vous jitters,” said Macho’s
owner and trainer Lori
Signs. “No matter what, he
is still a dog. There could
be a stray pigeon, a gopher
or a leaf that falls. We were
all just holding our breath.”
After spending a year
and a half teaching the
four-legged wonder the
finer points of baserun-
ning, it all came down to
one lap around the bases at
the iconic home of Dodger
Blue.

“about a handful” of DUI
offenders granted diver-
sion since January. He em-

“It follows the trends

San Bernardino County
District Attorney Jason
Anderson disagrees. Due
to the high recidivism
rate of DUI offenders and
the public safety risk they
impose, he said, making a
first-time conviction stick
is crucial to deter a second
instance. Diversion, he ar-
gues, amounts to “giving
people a pass on a first-
time DUI.”

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK

What’s it like to ride waves at the mysterious Surf Ranch?

By Laylan Connelly
lconnelly@scng.com
A train of a machine
revved up and moved for-
ward, pushing the water to
grow on the flat, lakelike
pool.
The fast-moving wave
crumbled on the top as it
approached. A surf guide
gave me a gentle shove, en-
suring I didn’t botch my
take off on this tricky, wild
wave.
It was no ocean wave
I was about to attempt to
surf on; instead a freshwa-
ter playground in the mid-
dle of farmland, hours away
from the coast.
And if I couldn’t catch
waves here, I’d have driven
five hours and blown a
chance at riding one of the
world’s most mysterious
and coveted surf breaks.
There was excitement
brewing in the sweltering,
muggy air as the travelers
arrived at the Surf Ranch
in Lemoore, a group of me-
dia and influencers gath-
ered recently to experience
firsthand what it was like
to ride the man-made wave.
The Surf Ranch debuted
to the public in 2018 for the
Founder’s Cup, a surf con-
test that drove thousands of
surf fans and curious peo-
ple, including myself, to the
town south of Fresno.
But the Surf Ranch’s ex-
istence goes back further
than that event three years
ago.
Brooke, one of several
“surf guides” on site, gave a
quick history lesson about
how the Surf Ranch got its
start.
It took about a decade for
Kelly Slater, 11-time world
champion, and his team to
develop the technology un-
der a veil of secrecy.
“They didn’t know if it
was going to work,” she
said.
Had it not, they would
have buried it under dirt
and no one would ever
know about the project, dis-
guised at the time as a tila-
pia fishery.
Reporter Laylan Connelly gets an inside look at the Surf Ranch in Lemoore, near Fresno, riding a man-made wave that
gives a glimpse at the future of surfing.
In 2015, Slater released
the first video showing
what the wave was capable
of, and the surf world went
nuts.
Since then, mostly only
pro surfers or surf indus-
try insiders have had the
chance to ride the wave.
Then, when the corona-
virus pandemic hit, even
fewer people had access to
the Surf Ranch.
But as pandemic restric-
tions ease, and with safe-
guards such as coronavi-
rus testing in place, more
surfers are experiencing the
wave, including the group I
recently joined.
Most of what I had seen
from footage of pro surfers
flawlessly surfing the fast
wave made me nervous.
Would an average surfer
such as myself be able to
handle this strange wave?
Buffet of waves
Another surf guide,
Pierce Flynn, gave the low-
down on what the machin-
ery is capable of: three set-
tings surfers can choose
from, like ordering a tasty
dessert off a menu.
Waikiki is a setting for
a smaller, slower-paced
wave good for beginners
or longboarders who want
to cruise. There’s the wave
the pros ride, a mix of fast-
moving walls and two hol-
low barrel sections, called
CT 2 (CT is short for Cham-
pionship Tour).
Then, there’s CT 3, a bit
more forgiving but still fast
and high-performance fo-
cused with a hollow barrel
section at the end. That’s
the one myself and a group
from Textured Waves, a
community that promotes
diversity in the water, opted
to ride.
The machine needs to re-
set between waves, so surf-
ers line up along the wall
waiting for their turns, just
like a ride at a theme park.
There’s a bit of torn emo-
tion watching others surf:
genuine thrill for them
as they catch the rides of
their life, but also secretly
VIDEO SCREENGRAB COURTESY OF MATT KOLO — SURF RANCH
and selfishly wanting them
to fall so you can nab, or
“poach” the wave for your-
self.
Surf guides sit at each
end of the pool, offering
advice on how to paddle in
and even a little shove to
make sure you don’t miss
your wave. Another on a
personal watercraft whips
surfers around to their
place in line.
“We’ll be the voice in
your ear,” Flynn said.
Wild rides
As the wave grew toward
me, so did my nerves.
But the surf guide gave
my board a nudge and sud-
denly I was propelled for-
ward, my board moving
with the power of the wave.
I popped up quickly and
pivoted my board toward
the open face of the wave.
And then suddenly, I was
flying.
My first thought was the
wave was faster than I ex-
pected, but I also oddly felt
like I was moving in slow
motion as I raced across
the wave’s face. The water
moved somewhat differ-
ently than the ocean, push-
ing up toward my board
rather than from behind, a
difference that took a few
moments to get used to as
I rode my first wave.
In the unpredictable
ocean, you don’t know
what the wave is going to
do, when it’s going to close
out or suddenly suck up. On
this wave it was easier to
see the canvas I was danc-
ing on and what was going
to happen as my board pro-
pelled forward.
At some sections, the
wave became mellow and
allowed me to weave my
board up and down the
face, at other times it got
racy and fast, prompting
an urgency to straighten
out and speed up so the
white wash wouldn’t gob-
ble me up.
And the waves are long,
by far the longest waves of
my life. Half way through
the first wave, my legs
started to get shaky, but the
adrenaline helped.
I was stiff, not want-
ing to risk moving my
feet or trying big turns for
fear the wave would buck
me off. Each ride, if com-
pleted, lasts about 45 sec-
onds. I prematurely pulled
out of my first wave, think-
ing it was over at about 35
seconds, missing that steep
barrel that forms.
As I waited for my next
turn, watching the god-
dess surfers from Tex-
tured Waves dancing on
the waves gave me a boost
of confidence.
I had the chance at one
of those “poached” waves
(and gave others the same
when I couldn’t paddle into
my backside wave), quickly
turning my board to scratch
into the empty wave.
The wave was already
halfway down the pool, but
I got to enjoy that barrel-
ing end section I missed on
my first wave. Well, kind of.
I crouched my body down
as the wave steepened, wait-
ing for the wall of water to
cascade over me, but unfor-
tunately couldn’t slow down
enough to actually tuck my
way deep into it. A video re-
view later showed I was just
shy of the hollow cave — the
“almost barrel” of my life.
The last wave of my
session offered the same
smooth ride, up until the
end when that barrel sec-
tion showed up more
quickly than expected, the
lip of the wave smacking
the back of my head for an
epic belly flop wipeout, the
perfect wave continuing
without me on it. The force
of the water held me down
and washed me around, giv-
ing me a bit of a shock at the
pool’s power.
After the sessions, a surf
guide reviews video footage
to relive the epic moments,
give tips on how to improve
and a chuckle at the wipe-
outs endured.
“One thing about the
place,” the guide said, “it’s
never enough; you always
want more.”

Stanley Kaplan
Long-time physician Stanley Kaplan passed away peacefully at his
home in Laguna Beach on September 11, 2021, just shy of his 99th
birthday.
Born September 22, 1922, Stanley grew up in Richmond Hill,
Queens, New York. Stanley’s academic skills and drive pointed him
for things beyond the neighborhood. He graduated as valedictorian
from John Adams High School, spent a year at City College of New
York, and finished at Queens College, before moving to California
to begin his medical training. Soon after arriving in California, he
connected with a former acquaintance at Queen’s College, Muriel
Boettjer. They became a couple and soon thereafter married and
settled in Downey where they raised two sons, Ken and Phil, and
years later moved to Laguna Beach, where they enjoyed watching
their grandchildren grow up. Muriel died shortly after their 50th
wedding anniversary.
Stanley began his medical practice in Compton, later moving the
practice to Downey. Stanley thrived as a doctor who epitomized
a bygone era. He made house calls, took the time to listen to and know his patients and their
families (among them was the family of Ken’s future wife, Jan), and did it all -- from delivering
babies to assisting in surgery. He was beloved by his patients. In 1952, Stanley was the driving
force behind a group of doctors who built Rio Hondo Memorial Hospital in Downey. Stanley
became its first chairman and was instrumental in the hospital’s success.
Stanley loved the outdoors. He built a house in Mammoth where he enjoyed skiing and hiking with
his sons and an irreverent group of friends known as The Church of the Open Slope. Stanley was
also a craftsman, skilled in working with stained glass and building beautiful Tiffany-style lamps.
In 2008, Stanley began a new chapter of his life, marrying Mary Santoni. The large Santoni family
warmly welcomed Stanley. He and Mary loved spending time with their extended families, and
Stanley particularly looked forward to visits from his great-grandchildren.
Stanley is survived by his wife Mary Santoni Kaplan, Ken and Phil, grandchildren: Brandon,
Amanda, Adam, and Alexa, and great-grandchildren: Eliza, Anna, Dylan, and Oliver.
Jerald Jerome Kaseman
Jerald Jerome Kaseman, 76, passed away on September 10, 2021,
at the Adelanto Covenant Care Home in Laguna Niguel, CA, after
many months of compassionate care.
Jerry was born September 29, 1944, in Bismarck, ND to Julius and
Violet (Donner) Kaseman. He grew up on his parent’s dairy farm 8
miles south of Wishek, ND with four siblings and attended a one-
room country school through 6th grade; graduating high school in
Wishek in 1962. During high school, he worked as an orderly at
the Wishek Community Hospital – “an experience that provided
me with compassion and understanding of people’s sufferings and
tribulations in life”. After high school, Jerry enlisted in the Army
National Guard and was honorably discharged in 1968 after serving
for six years. He received his BS degree from North Dakota State
University in 1966 and taught English for one year in Wishek. He
was also the school’s librarian.
Jerry set his sights on traveling west and taught for two years in Wasco, CA. In 1969 he decided
to move on to the coast and settled first in Newport Beach and then Laguna Beach. He secured
a teaching position in the Santa Ana School District, where he met a fellow colleague, Jerry Dyer,
who became his friend and lifetime companion. Together they moved to Laguna Niguel, and also
eventually purchased a “condo” in San Diego, where they spent weekends and vacations.
Jerry taught American and British literature and became a mentor teacher and English
Department chairperson for 18 years at Willard Junior High. He was there for 20 years, having
received numerous awards for his outstanding achievements, including Teacher of the Year. He
then taught at Saddleback High School for 11 years, again receiving Teacher of the Year and
several awards and accolades for his service. He was the English component for the school’s
Academy of Business and Technology, which provided a path for students career-minded in
accounting or finance. He presented in-services to other teachers in several states. Jerry was
runner-up for Orange County’s California League of High Schools Outstanding Educator Award.
After a teaching career of 34 years, he retired in 2001 at age 57.
Of special philanthropic interest to Jerry was his involvement with a project sponsored by the
Anti-Defamation League. The goal of this project, called Children of the Dream, was to erase
prejudice between people of different races, cultures, and religions, advocating acceptance
and understanding between all people, regardless of their differences. He was in charge of in-
servicing all the teachers in Orange County who were participating in the program.
Jerry was a kind, caring, generous, thoughtful, and adventurous man. He was an accomplished
pianist, prolific poet, horticulturist, and decorator “extraordinaire”. He and Jerry D. enjoyed being
artists, painting landscapes and flowers in watercolor and acrylic paints. His diverse interests
also included reading, gardening, cooking, running, movies (especially foreign films), and plays
(having directed several community plays for the California Parks and Recreational Department).
He was an avid collector of paperweights, Venetian masks, blue and white pottery, succulent
plants, paintings, books, and German/Russian artifacts. Jerry was an excellent cook and loved
to host dinner parties for family and friends. Whatever he did, he approached with enthusiasm
and intensity. His smile and contagious laughter always lit up a room. He was passionate about
keeping in touch with family and friends.
During their lives together, Jerry and Jerry D. traveled abroad extensively, exploring over 25
countries (some more than once), making many friends along the way. Jerry always brought
back treasures to share with family and friends. They were both volunteers at the local hospital
and were loyal supporters of the ASPCA. Always having a dog as a pet was an integral part of
their lives. Jerry even taught one of their dogs, Toni, to play a “duet” on the piano, as he would
pause and give a little elbow “nudge” as a cue to play a note!
Jerry Dyer passed away on January 13, 2021. In Jerry’s words: “My life would not have been
complete and as full as it has been if it had not been for my friend and companion, Jerry Dyer,
of more than fifty years. We have always been there for each other during the difficult as well as
the “best” of times.”
In accordance with Jerry’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Dahlstrom Funeral Home, Wishek,
ND, has been entrusted with arrangements for a memorial Celebration of Life to be held in the
chapel on June 6, 2022, at 2 pm, followed by a graveside service. His ashes will be laid to rest
alongside his parents in the St. Luke Cemetery at Wishek. Memories and condolences may be
shared with the family at www.dahlstromfuneralservice.com, or sent to The Kaseman Family,
c/o Gene and Linda Kaseman, 920 – 26th St. NW, Minot, ND 58703-1741. In lieu of flowers,
memorials in Jerry’s honor may be sent to the Wishek Retirement Home or an organization of
the donor’s choosing.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents and lifetime companion, Jerry Dyer.
Remembered in love and sharing in sorrow: Jim (Kathleen) Kaseman, Ocala, FL; Gene (Linda)
Kaseman, Minot, ND; Roxanne (Jim) Lawrence, Mansfield, TX; Dwight (Lois) Kaseman, Broken
Arrow, OK; two uncles; several nieces, nephews, and cousins; and many lifelong friends.

were James and Stella (Ross) Donaghe- an accountant with Irish
roots, and a schoolteacher. Jane was the second of five children.
A junior high teacher encouraged Jane’s artistic talent and, in her
teens, Jane entered and won many art competitions. She earned
a BFA from the University of Texas, Austin, and an MFA from The
University of Illinois, Urbana. She won the Kinley Foundation Grant
and attended The American Academy in Rome. In 1965, she moved

Jane won an award for excellence in teaching. Besides inspiring
and encouraging students, Jane was a practicing post-modernist
painter. She organized complex images- often intricate, detailed
small paintings, many from art history- integrating oil collage,
photographs, color Xerox, and using pattern and repetition, to create
layers of meaning. Jane took part in many juried art exhibitions over
the years, and won many awards.

Bruce, nieces and nephews. Her memorial service will be held at the Chapman Fish Interfaith
Center when travel is safe.
Arnold (Arnie) Jerome Shusterman
July 19, 1937 – September 7, 2021
Arnie was born in Pennsylvania in 1937 and grew up in Long Beach,
California where his parents owned and operated “Shusterman’s
Floor Covering”.
An active young man who excelled in school both scholastically and
socially, Arnie developed a passion for jazz, playing the drums, and
for a certain young Jordan High School classmate, Carolyn Baum.
Soon came marriage, 4 children and a home in the City of Orange.
Realizing the risks associated with a career in music, Arnie attended
night school for 14 years while working full time, graduating from
CSULB with an electrical engineering degree Cum Laude.
Arnie worked at McDonald Douglas, Hughes Aircraft, Beckman
Instruments and Startel Corp., retiring in 1997. He earned a
reputation for his intelligence, integrity and diplomacy.
Arnie enjoyed music, handball, racquetball, working out at the gym and spending time with his
family. He was not afraid to research and tackle any new challenge whether it be coaching a teen
girls softball team or building a room addition.
Carolyn and Arnie shared their interest in international travel, duplicate Bridge and the Porsche
Club in O.C.
Arnie passed peacefully in his sleep from late onset Alzheimer’s at home surrounded by his loving
family and wife of 66+ years.
Arnie is survived by his wife Carolyn, their children Teri, Viki, Renee and Todd,
4 grandchildren, twin great granddaughters and his brother Dennis.
And who said a marriage between two teenagers would not last…… Arnie and Carolyn have
enjoyed being together since they were 16 and 17 years old.
Gary W. Rote
Gary Wayne Rote passed away on September 20, 2021 in Orange, CA. He was
born in New York on December 5, 1941 and resided there until his family moved
to CA in 1960. He attended Santa Ana College where he met Karen Plate. They
were married on June 20, 1964 and had two daughters, Kami (Brad) Rollins and
Kris Rote. They resided in Garden Grove for over 50 years.
Gary began his career selling Studebakers and eventually worked in Commercial
Finance for 55 years. He was the Senior Vice President for Austin Financial for 30
years before retiring.
Gary enjoyed sports and was involved in Garden Grove Eastside Little League from 1976-1985
as a manager, player agent, and president. He had many good friends and memories from those
years. Gary also enjoyed camping, motorcycles, and his cabin in Big Bear.
Besides his wife and daughters, he is survived by four grandchildren, Jason, Chelsea, Garrett,
and Isaac Rollins. He is also survived by three sister-in-laws, a brother-in-law, many nieces,
nephews, and friends, as well as his two furry constant companions Barney and Shiloh.

EARTHWEEK: A DIARY OF THE PLANET

Climate dithering
Despite promises by
world leaders to curb
the greenhouse gases
responsible for the worsening
climate emergency, the UN
warns that the world is now
on track to heat up to
dangerous levels. Inaction by
industry and governments to
reduce carbon emissions now
means there is likely to be a
rise of 4.9 degrees this
century above preindustrial
levels, according to Patricia
Espinosa, the UN’s chief
climate negotiator. Climate
experts had hoped to keep the
temperature rise to only 2.7
degrees, thus avoiding the
worst consequences of global
heating. “The disruption to our
climate and our planet is
already worse than we
thought, and it is moving
faster than predicted,” warned
UN Secretary-General António
Guterres.
Tropical cyclones
Late reports say
remnants of Typhoon
Chanthu left six people injured
across Japan.
• Tropical storms Odette,
Peter and Rose churned the
open waters of the Atlantic.
Ozone hole
The annual hole in
the layer of strato-
spheric ozone over
Antarctica has surged in size
to now cover an area larger
than the continent itself.
Stratospheric ozone helps
protect the Earth’s surface
from dangerous ultraviolet
radiation. While a worldwide
ban on the chemicals
responsible for ozone
depletion is showing signs of
helping the hole to heal,
scientists say it will still take
decades because those
chemicals are slow to break
down. The European Space
Agency says this year’s hole is
now larger than 75% of those
since the late 1970s. The
ozone holes typically reach
their largest size between
mid-September and mid-Oc-
tober.
Volcanic disaster
Hundreds of
structures were
destroyed by a
volcanic eruption on Spain’s
Atlantic island of La Palma, in
the Canary Islands archipela-
go. Some of the thousands of
residents in the path of
lava had less than an hour to
prepare to evacuate as lava
surged toward densely
populated areas and the
ocean. Experts warned that
the lava could produce toxic
gases if it comes in contact
with Atlantic waters. Island
residents have also been
warned of strong tremors, ash
and acid rain, with scientists
predicting the eruption could
last for months.
Wildfire emissions
The firestorms that
raged across parts of
Siberia, North
America and the Mediterra-
nean this summer released a
record amount of CO2,
according to Europe’s
Copernicus Atmosphere
Monitoring Service. The
unprecedented blazes were
triggered by heat waves,
drought and parched soil,
which experts say were
amplified by global heating.
“What stood out as
unusual were the number
of fires, the size of the area
in which they were burning,
their intensity and also
their persistence,” said
CAMS senior scientist and
wildfire expert Mark
Parrington. He added that
summers with disastrous
firestorms are now more likely
due to global heating.
Earthquakes
A rare and unusually
strong temblor for
southeastern
Australia caused scattered
structural damage around
Melbourne.
• Earth movements were also
felt in the India-Myanmar
border region, western
Nicaragua, southern Idaho, the alone, with most near

“We are hard at work re-

California is losing one

when districts are redrawn
to reflect population shifts.
That will cut California’s
representation to 52 House
seats, still the largest of any

Nationalizing her governor run? ‘You bet I am,’ Sanders says

By Andrew Demillo
The Associated Press
CABOT, ARK. >> She’s toured the
state in an RV emblazoned with
her name, launched a TV ad that’s
airing during Arkansas Razor-
backs football games and spoken
to packed rooms at restaurants.
Former White House press secre-
tary Sarah Sanders’ introduction
as a candidate for governor hasn’t
strayed from most campaigns here.
Except for the crowds, which are
far beyond what people have seen
in this mostly rural place. And the
campaign talk, which often isn’t
about the state.
“As I travel around the state, I
keep hearing this criticism, ‘Oh,
there’s that Sarah Sanders, nation-
alizing the race,’” Sanders told hun-
dreds of people packed at a Colton’s
Steak House in Cabot, a half-hour
drive from the state capital of Lit-
tle Rock. “And my answer to those
people is, ‘You bet I am.’ Because if
you’re not paying attention to what
is happening in this country, you’re
missing what is going on.”
Sanders’ celebrity as for-
mer President Donald Trump’s
spokesperson granted her imme-
diate front-runner status in one of
the nation’s most Trump-friendly
states. It’s also transforming pol-
itics in a place where voters in
state races are used to hearing
overwhelmingly about Arkansas
taxes, Arkansas roads and Arkan-
sas schools.
This is hardly the only state
where local politics isn’t local any-
more. Republican candidates for
governor elsewhere also are fo-
cused more on President Joe Biden
than their own opponents and on
federal, rather than state, issues.
And many Democrats would rather
talk about Trump than about their
rivals.
“Her approach suggests she un-
derstands the contemporary elec-
torate in Arkansas and every-
where,” said Janine Parry, a po-
litical science professor at the
University of Arkansas. Politics,
Parry said, “is in a period of pro-
found nationalization.”
It’s a sharp contrast with past
races for governor in Arkan-
sas, where Republican Gov. Asa
Hutchinson campaigned on re-
quiring computer science educa-
tion in schools. His predecessor,
Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe, ran
Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders greets supporters at an event for her campaign for
governor at a Colton’s Steak House in Cabot, Ark., Friday.
on phasing out the sales tax on gro-
ceries.
Sanders, 39, announced her
bid in January with a promise to
fight the “radical left,” something
that’s awfully hard to find in sol-
idly red Arkansas. On Twitter and
elsewhere, she rails against Biden
on his coronavirus pandemic re-
sponse, immigration and the with-
drawal from Afghanistan.
“Sarah Sanders is not running
for governor of Arkansas. She is
running on a national stage,” said
Michael John Gray, a former chair
of the state Democratic Party,
who’s now heading an indepen-
dent committee focused primarily
on defeating Sanders’ bid.
Sanders’ approach reflects just
how polarized the country has be-
come in recent years. Invoking un-
popular national Democratic fig-
ures is seen as the best voter-mo-
tivating tactic, even in local races.
In Iowa, Republican Gov. Kim
Reynolds, who is expected to run
for reelection, is criticizing Biden
on numerous issues including fed-
eral spending.
In Oklahoma, Republican Gov.
Kevin Stitt, who faces reelection
next year, has had little to say
about his state’s battle with CO-
VID-19 — which hit the grim mile-
stone of 10,000 deaths last week —
but issued a slick video on Biden’s
Afghanistan performance.
Some Democrats are also lean-
ing national. California Gov. Gavin
Newsom defeated a recall attempt
earlier this month with a cam-
paign that railed against “Trump-
ism.” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy
is campaigning on abortion rights
and gun control, and at a recent
rally, he criticized states like Flor-
ida and Texas for their right-wing
policies.
When Sanders does talk about
Arkansas, she does so only in broad
strokes. She says she’s tired of the
state being at the bottom of many
rankings. She said she wants to
ANDREW DEMILLO — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
eliminate the state’s income tax,
though she offers no hints on how.
She also mentions doing some-
thing on education and workforce
training, which she said hasn’t
changed substantially since her
father, Mike Huckabee, was gov-
ernor from 1996 to 2007.
“We have to stop just trying to
push kids through the system and
actually focus on how are we pre-
paring them to go into the work-
force,” she told The Associated
Press.
Though best known for her
White House briefings, during
which she sparred with report-
ers and faced questions about
her truthfulness, Sanders is no
stranger to the state’s politics. She
appeared in TV ads for her dad’s
campaigns in the 1990s and early
2000s and chaired Arkansas Sen.
John Boozman’s campaign.
She’s mostly steered clear of re-
ferring to the current governor,
Hutchinson, whom Trump has
branded as a RINO, or Republican
in Name Only, after he vetoed an
anti-transgender bill. Hutchinson
is barred by the state’s term limits
from running for governor again.
Her first TV ad features foot-
age of her dad and former Presi-
dent Bill Clinton as they marked
the 40th anniversary of Little Rock
Central High School’s desegrega-
tion. It quickly pivots to a favorite
target, claiming that the “radical
left wants to teach our kids Amer-
ica is a racist and evil country.”
Sanders embarked on a state-
wide tour this month that included
a rally with country singer John
Rich that drew 1,000 people and a
parade on Lake Ouachita that her
campaign said included more than
1,500 boats.
At her stop in Cabot — a city of
about 25,000 — Sanders got the
loudest applause when she talked
about Trump.
“I’m proud of the fact I worked
with a president who did exactly
what he said he was going to do,”
she said.
Sanders’ only rival in the Re-
publican primary, Attorney Gen-
eral Leslie Rutledge, has lagged
far behind in fundraising. Sand-
ers in July reported raising $9 mil-
lion since she announced her can-
didacy, with the majority of the
money coming from out of state.
Rutledge says there’s little ac-
complishment behind Sanders’
rhetoric.
“While my opponent talks about
the liberal left in Washington, D.C.,
she has done nothing to effectively
combat them in the last several
years,” Rutledge told the AP.
Democrats, who face an uphill
climb, are trying to highlight Sand-
ers’ White House stint as a sign she
can’t bring people together.
But in Arkansas, where Trump
won with more than 62% of the
vote, her hyperpartisan past is an
asset to many. In Cabot, some in
the mostly unmasked audience
donned red Trump hats and shirts
depicting the former president.
Harold Glenn Earnest, a 96-year-
old veteran from Romance, about
30 miles north of Cabot, whom
Sanders talked with at the eatery,
said he’s thinking beyond the gov-
ernor’s mansion for Sanders.
“She’ll be the governor. There’s
no question about that,” Earnest
said. “I want to see her run for
president.”

Brabham entered the

Staff reports
Pa c i f ic a a nd Br e a
Olinda broke out all the
weapons in their non-
league football game Fri-
day at Brea Olinda High
School.
In the end, it was the
performance of Pacifica
quarterback Darius Cow-
ens and big plays by the
Mariners’ defense in the
second half that made
the difference.
Cowens, a junior and
a starter since he was a
freshman, completed 15
of 26 passes for 342 yards
and three touchdowns
and ran for 117 yards and
two touchdowns to lead
Pacifica to a 42-39 vic-
tory over the Wildcats.
T he Ma r iners (5 - 0)
and Wildcats (3-1) both
scored six touchdowns
but two missed ex tra
point s a nd a missed
2-point conversion at-
tempt by Brea Olinda
proved costly.
Cowens said the Mari-
ners’ running backs and
receivers deserve much
of the credit for his per-
formance.
“We had an awesome
practice this week and
it paid off in the game,”
Cowens said. “I’ve known
my receivers since I was
young so we k ind of
clicked. If I don’t have
them, then I have noth-
ing.”
Pacifica coach Vinnie
Lopez said he knew com-
ing into the game that
the Wildcats would be
Mariners’ toughest op-
ponent of the season.
“I thought this was go-
ing to be a big test for us
before we go into league,”
Lopez said. “We talked
all week about how good
Brea Olinda football is,
so our guys were ready
to come out and play. Of-
fensively we played really
well and then we slowed
down, and (the Wildcats)
played better in the sec-
ond half and we played
better defensively in the
second half.”

SERVITE 42, HELIX
>> There aren’t enough
adjectives to describe
the connection that Ser-
vite football’s Noah Fi-
fita and Tetairoa McMil-
lan have on the field, but
elite should be near the
top of the list.
The electrif ying duo
combined for three first-
quarter touchdowns in
the Friars’ win over He-
lix of La Mesa in a non-
league game at Orange
Coast College.
The Arizona-commit-
ted Fifita passed for 317
yards and four touch-
downs while his favorite
target, the Oregon-com-
mitted McMillan, caught
seven pa sses for 183
yards and three scores.
“We’re just so good of-
fensively with the quar-
terback Noah Fifita,” Ser-
vite coach Troy Thomas
said. “He puts us in great
positions and he throws
great balls, and obviously
he’s got a great receiv-
ing corps and good of-
fensive line, but he’s the
guy that’s making that
thing happen.”
T he receiv ing group
Thomas referred to in-
cludes Mikey Welsh, Wes
Taylor and Keyan Bur-
nett, but McMillan con-
stantly made chunk plays
against Helix (3-2).
Fifita opened the scor-
ing by throwing a per-
fectly timed pass to a
streaking McMillan for
a 43-yard score to make
it 7-0.
On the nex t Friars’
nex t possession Fifita
hit McMillan on a 17-yard
touchdown pass, a slant
route that saw McMil-
lan bust through a pair
of Highlanders defenders
and stretch for the goal
line to make it 14-0.
—David Delgado
MISSION VIEJO 55, LEUZ-
INGER 14 >> Mission Viejo’s
football team put forth a
dominant effort in a win
against Leuzinger at Mis-
sion Viejo High.
T he Diablos defense
held Leuzinger to 178
yards of total of fense
and just one offensive
touchdow n. Jack Hig-
gins, Ruben Lopez, Dan-
iel Dominguez and Trey
Tolmaire led the defense
for Mission Viejo (4-1).
The game started out
the worst way possible
for Leuzinger (2-3). On
the first play from scrim-
mage, Tolmaire grabbed
the ball out of a Leuz-
inger player’s hands and
returned it 16 yards for a
touchdown.
Shor tly af ter, Mikey
Mat thews retur ned a
punt 44 yards for a score
to give Mission Viejo a
14-0 lead before its of-
fense even took the field.
Tolmaire intercepted
a pass on the ensuing
L eu z i n ger pos se s sion
and Matthews followed it
up with a rushing touch-
7 down to give the Diablos
a 21-0 lead.
Kenny Manassero
rushed for a touchdown
early in the second quar-
ter to ex tend Mission
Viejo’s lead to 28.
Leuzinger made it a
competitive game in the
second quarter. Michi-
gan commit Kevonte Fat-
utoa Henry ran for a 23-
yard touchdown to put
the Oly mpians on the
scoreboard.
—Michael Huntley
EL MODENA 35, CANYON 0 >>
El Modena’s defense was
impenetrable. No matter
where Canyon’s football
team began its drives, El
Modena seemed intent
on keeping the Coman-
ches out of the end zone.
T he Vanguards ulti-
mately succeeded in the
v ictor y at El Modena
High, their second shut-
out in the past three
games.
Next up for El Modena
(4-1) is a matchup against
unbeaten El Dorado on
Friday night.
“We’ll just keep prac-
ticing and get better each
week,” El Modena coach
Matt Mitchell said. “Just
believe in each other and
play hard for each other,
and we’re good.”
T he C oma nches (1-
4) did not punt in the
first half. Three of their
drives ended with inter-
ceptions and the other
three on downs.
David Vasquez ended
the first Canyon posses-
sion with an intercep-
tion, giving El Modena
the ball near midfield.
The Va n g u a r d s
marched down and took
a 7-0 lead on a 2-yard
touchdown catch by Sam
Astor on fourth-and-goal
with 1:29 left in the open-
ing quarter.
Alex Luna intercepted
a pass on Canyon’s sec-
ond possession and El
Modena c apit a lized
again.
Astor had a 24 -yard
reception over the mid-
dle to move the ball into
Canyon territor y, and
quarterback Jack Keays
scored four plays later
on a 5-yard keeper for a
14-0 lead with 9:31 left in
the first half.
Vanguards defensive
back Mayson Hitchens
said El Modena’s defense
was winning the early
battles in the trenches,
forcing Canyon quarter-
back Christian Lunds-
berg to scramble early
and often.
“The pressure getting
on (Lundsberg) was un-
real,” Hitchens said.
—Dan Arritt
JSERRA 44, NEWPORT HAR-
BOR 0 >> JSerra’s defense
set the tone. The Lions
recorded a safety, scored
on an interception and
sacked the quarterback
four times en route to a
nonleague football vic-
tory at Newport Harbor
High.
Thanks to Lions punter
Chase Barr y, New por t
Harbor started posses-
sions on its 1-yard line on
two occasions, and that
led to a safety for the Li-
ons on the Sailors’ first
drive of the game.
JSerra’s defense wasn’t
done following the safety
by Hugo Hart. The Li-
ons (3-2) sacked New-
port Harbor quarterback
Nick Kim four times, two
of those by Jose Frutos.

guys are up front and it’s a
lot more chaos and this is
what makes the show.”
Indeed, the race seems a
fan favorite.
“These trucks are so
much fun and this Long
Beach track is a blast,”
Brooks said.
The second race will take
place today at 3:30 follow-
ing the NTT IndyCar main
event. Brooks, Brabham and
and Stout will start in the
back.

13th if he leads a lap.
Newgarden’s only chance
includes getting maximum
points by winning the race
and leading the most laps
as well as a finish of 25th
or worse by Palou.
Qualifying in the second
spot was Scott Dixon. Helio
Castroneves will start third.
Castroneves won this race
in 2001. Dixon won in 2015.
Castroneves, 46, in May be-
came the fourth driver to
win the Indianapolis 500.
Starting fourth will be Si-
mon Pagenaud, Felix Rosen-
qvist will be fifth and Ro-
main Grosjean sixth.
Newgarden’s top quali-
fying time was 1:08.2241,
Dixon was close behind
at 1:08.4422 and Castro-
neves came in at 1:08.4827.
Top times for Pagenaud,
Rosenqvist and Grosjean
were 1:08.6514, 1:08.7461
and 1:08.7577. Grosjean, a
rookie, toils for Dale Coyne
Racing.
Palou, 24, of Spain, may
not have qualified near the
top, but he’s still feeling
good about his chances to
emerge as series champion.
“Yeah, I think we’re in
good position,” said Palou,
of Chip Ganassi Racing..
“We have a really fast car.
... I think we have lots of
chances, we just need to
finish the job tomorrow. It’s
not going to be easy.”
Immediately after the
qualifying session, Palou
did not voice any concern
about where he’s starting
during a trackside inter-
view.
“It’s OK,” he said. “We
know we have a good race
car. We’ll try and overtake
some good cars tomorrow
and just focus on ourselves
trying to do the best we can
tomorrow. If we do a good
job tomorrow, we’ll get the
championship home.”
Newgarden, who won the
series championship in 2017
and 2019, believes Palou is
in a solid spot.
“I think if he sticks to
his program, he should be
in good shape,” said New-
garden, 30, of Nashville,
Tennessee. “He’s been very
resilient this year and he’s
Taylor and Garcia en-
tered the race with 2,562
points and Miller and
Tandy were next with
2,375. There are two races
left. The Michelin GT Chal-
lenge will be held Oct. 8-10
at Virginia International
Raceway and the Motul Pe-
tit LeMans will be held in
Atlanta on Nov. 11-13.
After their victory, Miller
and Tandy spoke about
their second consecutive
victory, as they were com-
ing off a win this past week-
end at Laguna Seca.
“Again, as expected, it
was a great battle with the
3 car,” said Tandy, of Eng-
land, alluding to the Tay-
lor-Garcia car. “Antonio

done a tremendous job.
“And really the same
with Pato. I don’t see him
make a lot of mistakes, and
he’s always a charger.”
As for his own chances
of winning the title, New-
garden knows what he’s up
against.
“I feel like we’re nearly
dead and it’s just like, put
me out of my misery at this
point,” said Newgarden,
whose top finish in Long
Beach was second in 2019.
“But we’re like clinging to
life, so it’s a hard place to
be.”
Newgarden, of Team
Penske, finished second
in points in 2020 behind
Dixon, a six-time winner of
the series.
O’Ward, of Mexico, is just
22. He was fourth in series
points in 2020, and he’s
looking to improve upon
that. It’ll be tough to win
the title, but he wants to at
least finish second.
“Last year, we finished
fourth, so the goal start-
ing off the season was def-
initely to not be fourth,
to be at least third,” said
O’Ward, who races for Ar-
row McLaren SP. “We can
still finish third – we’re sit-
vette Racing and come out
on top, it’s a good day.
“It was a fun race.”
Milner spoke about pass-
ing the Taylor-Garcia car to
get the win.
“Like always happens
here in Long Beach, the
traffic is such a huge part
of this race and when you
have two cars that are so
close and so competitive
together, trying to find
an opportunity to pass on
the track is very difficult,”
said Milner, of Washing-
ton D.C.
“So my plan was just to
try to stay with Jordan as
best as I possibly could and
take any opportunity that
arose in traffic and that’s
what happened in Turn 6.”
ting second right now.
“At least from where I’m
at, it’s really tight, so we
need to have a good race
tomorrow to try and secure
second. As well, we need to
monitor where Alex is to
see if we should really risk
it to go for a win or not if
we have a chance or just try
and save second.”
Colton Herta, coming
off a win this past week-
end at Laguna Seca, will
start 14th. The Santa Clar-
ita native had the top prac-
tice time of 1:07.9783, but he
was knocked off late in the
first qualifying session.
Herta, 21, is currently
sixth in series points with
402.
Alexander Rossi, the two-
time defending champion of
the race, will start 15th. He
won this race in 2018 and
2019. There was no race in
2020 because of the corona-
virus pandemic.
Starting seventh will be
James Hinchcliffe. Ed Jones
will be in the ninth position
and Will Power, a two-time
winner of this race, will
start 12th.
NASCAR legend Jimmie
Johnson, in his first season
in IndyCar, will start 27th.

in loss to Arizona
By Bill Plunkett

PHOENIX >> In honor of His-
panic Heritage Month, the
Arizona Diamondbacks are
playing under the name
‘Los Serpientes’ this week-
end.
But it’s the Dodgers who
probably should have used
an alias Saturday.
Clayton Kershaw gave up
home runs to start each of
the first two innings. The
Dodgers had as many hits
on offense as errors on de-
fense (two) through five in-
nings and struck out eight
times in six innings against
Zac Gallen in an uninspired
7-2 loss to the Arizona Dia-
mondbacks.
“It wasn’t a well-played
game tonight,” Dodgers
manager Dave Roberts said
bluntly.
“I think tonight Gallen
was just better than we
were. I don’t know how else
to spin it.”
There was no positive
spin to put on a game in
which the Dodgers man-
aged just five hits and were
beaten by the 105-loss Dia-
mondbacks. Combined with
the Giants’ win in Colorado
Saturday night, the Dodgers
fell two games back in the
NL West race.
“I don’t think we look at
it that way. I think we’re just
trying to win a game,” Ker-
trol that. We’re not super
worried about what they’re
doing. We’re just trying to
win games. It’s hard to do
both. It’s hard to focus on
your game and hope that
they lose and things like
that. Just come out and try
to win tomorrow.”
The Dodgers are begin-
ning to run out of tomor-
rows in the division race.
The Giants’ magic number
to clinch the division (the
combined number of Giants
wins and Dodgers losses) is
down to six.
“It’s over. Obviously we’d
love to have this one back.
But you have to move on,”
said Trea Turner who was
the sum total of the Dodg-
ers’ offense with two solo
home runs. “The only game
we can win is the next one
on our schedule.”
That schedule seemed to
serve up a fat one for the
Dodgers this weekend. But
the Diamondbacks jumped
on Kershaw immediately.
Ketel Marte ripped Ker-
shaw’s first pitch of the
night on a line into the left-
field seats. Carson Kelly hit
Kershaw’s second pitch of
the second inning for an-
other home run.
“Just a couple bad pitches
early,” Kershaw said. “You
miss your spot sometimes.
Hopefully they keep it in the
ballpark but it didn’t hap-
pen tonight. I put us in a
hole early, couldn’t get out
ning when Justin Turner
made a throwing error on
what could have been an in-
ning-ending ground out.
Kershaw gave up two hits
to start the fifth inning and
an RBI single to Daulton
Varsho after the Dodger in-
field couldn’t turn a dou-
ble play on Henry Ramos’
bouncer to Justin Turner.
That was the end of Ker-
shaw’s night. In his third
start back from the In-
jured List, Kershaw lasted
just 4 1/3 innings and left
trailing 4-0. He gave up
six hits, striking out just
three. He threw 73 pitches
and got just 10 swings-and-
misses after getting 20 on
74 pitches against the Reds
last weekend.
“The fastball velocity was
good. He just didn’t have
command tonight,” Roberts
said. “You look at his pitch
mix -- the fastball, the slider
and the curveball -- it just
wasn’t crisp tonight and he
didn’t command it the way
we know he can.”
The Dodgers’ offense of-
fered no cover for Kershaw’s
rough start.
Gallen struck out six of
the first seven Dodgers bat-
ters and allowed just three
hits in his six inningse.
“We just couldn’t figure
out Gallen,” Roberts said.
“He just came out and stuck
it to us. We got behind early
and couldn’t recover.”
Trea Turner hit his home
on four pitches, or again
w hen G a r c i a w a l ke d
Ohtani on five pitches
later in the game. There
was a runner on second
base when Ohtani batted
in the seventh, and again
in the 10th, Ohtani draw-
ing an intentional walk
each time.
By Saturday it had be-
come a running theme —
rather, a walking theme.
No one knew when the
Angels’ best player would
get another good pitch to
hit.

quite a grind for Bellinger ANAHEIM >> Earlier this

By Bill Plunkett

PHOENIX >> These have been
trying times for Cody Bell-
inger, to say the least.
If it isn’t the injuries — a
fracture in his left fibula, a
hamstring strain and now a
rib fracture — it’s the flood
of strikeouts, pop ups and
fly outs that have dragged
his batting average and
OPS lower and lower.
“It’s my first time I’ve
ever dealt with injuries. It
happens. It’s been wild, I’m
not gonna lie,” Bellinger
said Saturday at Chase
Field as he began working
out in preparation for a re-
turn from the rib injury.
“It’s been a grind for
sure. It’s not fun. But at the
end of the day, I have confi-
dence in myself and believe
in myself. ... As bad as it’s
been, I still feel really good
and confident and excited
and all that kind of stuff.
I’m in a good spot.”
Bellinger is currently on
the injured list with the rib
fracture suffered when he
collided with Gavin Lux
on a play in the outfield
during the Dodgers’ game
against the Arizona Dia-
mondbacks on Sept. 13.
“I remember walking
back and thinking, ‘Dang,
he got me a little bit.’ But
I thought the wind got
knocked out of me,” Bell-
inger said. “So the next day
I was going to hit early but
it kind of hurt. I thought I
knew what a broken bone
feels like. It hurt but I
didn’t think it was broken.
During the game with the
adrenaline and all that, it
didn’t hurt. I don’t know
if I did something in the
third or fourth game but
after that off day in Cincy,
I was in pain.
“We got it checked out
and it showed a crack.”
Bellinger said the pain
has gone from “pretty
sharp a week ago or a few
days ago” to “dull now --
playable, I’d say.” He went
through a full workout on
the field Saturday and could
return as soon as Tuesday.
When he does it will be
with some swing adjust-
ments he made in the week
or so before suffering the rib
injury. Bellinger lowered his
hands and spread out his
stance — changes he admits
he was reluctant to make.
“You have success and
it’s hard to change what
you’ve had success with,”
Bellinger said. “But I realize
my body isn’t what it was
in the years past because
of the (shoulder) surgery
and all that stuff — blah
blah blah. Had to make an
adjustment. I feel shorter.
I feel more compact and I
felt good. Unfortunately I
got hurt right after I did it.
“It’s a game of adjust-
ments. I feel confident
right now.”
But Bellinger’s average
has been below .200 since
the Fourth of July, his OPS
under .600 since mid-Au-
gust. What took so long to
make those adjustments?
“I won Rookie of the
Year and MVP with the
hands up here,” Bellinger
said honestly. “But it came
to a point where I was, ‘Al-
right, I’m on my pitch but
I’m not hitting it. Let’s
make an adjustment.’”
Bellinger will bring a
complete new look when
he steps in the batter’s box
again. He showed up at
Chase Field on Friday with
his long hair shorn to a
buzz cut — perhaps a super-
stitious attempt to change
his luck this season?
“I mean, hey, it wasn’t me.
Had to be the hair,” Bell-
inger joked. “Honestly it
(his long hair) was getting
annoying. Now I feel fresh.”
Outfield look
Chris Taylor was back
in the starting lineup Sat-
urday for the first time
since last Sunday in Cin-
cinnati and only the third
time in the Dodgers’ past
12 games. But it was in left
field — where he made two
outstanding plays in the
ninth inning Friday night
— not center field.
Lux stayed in center.
Dodgers manager Dave
Roberts said Lux feels more
comfortable there than left

all of his career in the mid-
dle of the field (second base
and shortstop).
month, Mike Trout decided
it was time. He was ending
his quest to play baseball
again in 2021. He had been
out of action for too long
since straining his right
calf muscle in May, and
there was not enough time
left on the calendar to start
a proper minor league reha-
bilitation assignment. So he
rested.
A week or two later, Trout
started working out again.
“I felt great,” he said. “I
don’t feel (the calf injury)
at all. The doctors say it
should be fully healed.”
It wasn’t the happy, for-
ward-looking note on which
Trout wanted to end the
2021 season, but it will have
to do. By returning to full
health — albeit too late to
help the Angels — he can
get a head start on his off-
season training regimen
with an eye on spring train-
ing in 2022.
In his first interview
since making the decision
to shut down his 2021 come-
back, Trout didn’t spend
too long indulging vari-
ous what-ifs Saturday af-
ternoon. He conceded the
Angels’ place in the stand-
ings made the decision eas-
ier. He also acknowledged
the risk he faced by coming
back prematurely.
“I think if I’d have
gone out there, I would’ve
been playing a game, two
games, have off,” he said.
“It would’ve been tough for
me. The smarter thing for
me is to have a full healthy

come back to defeat Badgers

By Ralph D. Russo
The Associated Press
CHICAGO >> To win more games
than any coach in the storied his-
tory of Notre Dame football, Brian
Kelly has needed to be adaptable.
Maybe never more than the first
month of this season. The Fighting
Irish have used three quarterbacks
and four left tackles, moved away
from their run-first mentality and
added new wrinkles on defense to
head into October unbeaten.
Chris Tyree returned a kick-
off 96 yards for a touchdown and
Drew Pyne threw a fourth-quar-
ter touchdown pass to Kevin Aus-
tin Jr. in relief of an injured Jack
Coan, helping No. 12 Notre Dame
pull away from No. 18 Wisconsin
41-13 on Saturday at Soldier Field.
The Fighting Irish (4-0) have
shown plenty of vulnerabilities as
they retooled a team that went to
the College Football Playoff last
season. But they keep winning.
“We got a long way to go still,
but they’re getting better each
week,” Kelly said. “I’m having fun
coaching them. They’re not perfect
by any means, but they’re going to
be better in November.”
With victory No. 106 in 12 sea-
sons at Notre Dame, Kelly (106-
39) surpassed the legendary Knute
Rockne (105-12-5).

RALEIGH, N.C. >> Clemson’s final
pass had barely hit the ground
when North Carolina State’s side-

yards and two touchdowns be-
fore getting banged up to start
the second half and No. 16 Ar-
kansas held on to beat seventh-
ranked Texas A&M 20-10 on Sat-
urday in Arlington, Texas.
Texas A&M (3-1, 0-1 SEC)
had its overall 11-game winning
streak snapped.
Jefferson came up limping and
favoring his left leg after getting
tackled out of bounds to start the
second half, and left a few plays
later. But he did return to the
game late, and was on the field
to take the final kneel-down in
the SEC opener to cap Arkansas’
first 4-0 start since 2003.
The Aggies hadn’t allowed a
passing touchdown this season
until Jefferson’s 85-yard score to
Treylon Burks for a 10-0 lead late
in the first quarter.
Arkansas leads 42-33-1 overall
in the series that dates back to
1903 and includes their time as
longtime Southwest Conference
rivals. But Texas A&M had won
all nine meetings since joining
the SEC in 2012, which was 20
years after the Razorbacks de-
buted in the league.

Wide receiver Kyle
Ford did not dress for
the game after making
his first-career touch-

Washington State. De-
fensive tackle Kobe Pepe

the sideline with a large
brace on his right knee.
Early observations
In the first quarter,
USC’s run game pivoted
from a two-headed at-
tack to one dominated by
Texas transfer Keaontay
Ingram.
Ingram received all six
carries in the first quar-
ter, taking them for 40
yards, including a 12-yard
run. Senior Vavae Male-
peai’s only first-quarter
touch came on a 10-yard
pass.
USC receivers did Ke-
don Slovis no favors in the
first quarter as all four
of his incomplete passes
(with an interception on
the first series) were the
result of drops by his tar-
gets, including three by
Memphis transfer Tahj
Washington.
USC did get the benefit
of five first downs via Ore-
gon State penalties in the
first quarter.

Thompson-Robinson, team-
mates said, wasn’t going to
allow another letdown to
happen.
“Dorian literally put the
team on his back,” defensive
back Qwuantrezz Knight
said. “He was really down
bad throughout this whole
game.”
But he fought through
the pain, according to head
coach Chip Kelly.
“The one thing that
doesn’t get mentioned
enough about Dorian is
how tough he is,” Kelly said.
“He’s been tough from the
get-go. It’s an underrated
quality for a quarterback,
to be a tough guy, to stand
in there and play.”
T hompson-Robinson,
who was not made avail-
able to the media after the
game, also rushed for two
touchdowns, punctuating
a balanced UCLA offen-
sive attack. The Bruins had
304 yards on the ground
and Thompson-Robinson
threw for 212 yards. Run-
ning back Zach Charbon-
net led the rushing attack
with 209 yards.
UCLA’s secondary gave
up two big plays in the sec-
ond half as a 21-7 lead evap-
orated, thanks to two long
touchdown throws by Stan-
ford’s quarterback, Corona

Tanner McKee. The first
was a 56-yard pass over

season, has passed for 817 yards

Tagovailoa on IR
By The Associated Press
Quarterback Tua Tago-
vailoa was placed on in-
jured reserve by the Mi-
ami Dolphins on Saturday,
meaning he will miss at
least three games before he
can return from fractured
ribs.
Tagovailoa had already
been ruled out for Sunday’s
game at Las Vegas, with Ja-
coby Brissett set to start for
the Dolphins and Reid Sin-
nett getting promoted from
the practice squad in order
to serve as the backup.
Tagovailoa will also miss
games on Oct. 3 against
Indianapolis and Oct. 10
against Tampa Bay, at min-
imum. The earliest he could
return is an Oct. 17 game in
London against Jackson-
ville.
He was injured after
eight plays in last week-
end’s 35-0 loss to Buffalo,
leaving after Miami’s sec-
ond series and not return-
ing. Brissett played the rest
of the way in that game.
Initially, the Dolphins
thought — or at least hoped
— that Tagovailoa was deal-
ing with only bruised ribs.
Further evaluation showed
the fractures, and Brissett
said he was told Wednesday
that he would be the starter
for at least this week at Las
Vegas.
“So far this week, I
think he’s done a nice job
from a preparation stand-
point,” Dolphins coach
Brian Flores said Friday of
Brissett, who is 12-20 as a
starter. “He’s in here, he’s
meeting with his team-
mates, he’s watching the
film, asking questions.”
Flores said multiple
times this week that Ta-
govailoa’s condition is im-
proving, though he noted
Friday that the team was
having conversations and
“gathering information”
about what to do from a
roster-spot standpoint.
By Saturday, the path
was apparently clear and
the move was made.
Tagovailoa’s injury his-
tory is well-chronicled and
was a source of concern
for teams evaluating him
ahead of the 2020 NFL
draft after a serious hip in-
jury ended his college ca-
reer at Alabama. The left-
hander has had surgery on
both ankles and the index
finger of his throwing hand,
plus suffered a broken nose
and a concussion while in
college.
STEELERS’ WATT RULED OUT
AGAINST BENGALS >> Pitts-
burgh Steelers star outside
linebacker T.J. Watt won’t
play against Cincinnati af-
ter all.
The team has down-
graded Watt to out for Sun-
day’s visit from Cincinnati
(1-1). Watt, who is dealing
with a groin injury, was
listed as questionable on
Friday’s injury report.
Watt got hurt in the sec-
ond quarter of last week-
end’s 26-17 loss to Las Vegas.
He was limited in practice
this week but said Friday he
was hoping to play.
Watt’s absence means the
Steelers (1-1) will be without
both of their starting out-
side linebackers. Alex High-
smith was already ruled out
due to a groin injury.
PACKERS OL JENKINS OUT VS
NINERS >> Green Bay Packers
offensive lineman Elgton
Jenkins has been ruled out
for Sunday’s game against
the San Francisco 49ers due
to an ankle injury.
Jenkins got hurt during
Monday night’s 35-17 vic-
tory over the Detroit Lions,
though he remained in the
game. After listing him as
doubtful on Friday’s injury
report, the Packers (1-1) an-
nounced Saturday that Jen-
kins wasn’t making the trip
to San Francisco.
The Packers also an-
nounced that tight end
Dominique Dafney won’t
play against the 49ers (2-0)
due to a hip injury.
Jenkins was a Pro Bowl
left guard last season, but
he has been filling in at left
tackle for injured All-Pro
David Bakhtiari, who hasn’t
played since tearing his left
anterior cruciate ligament
on Dec. 31. Bakhtiari is on
the physically unable to
perform list and will miss

CHARGERS CHARGERS AT CHIEFS: WHO HAS THE EDGE?

Inexperienced defense needs

KANSAS CITY, MO. >> Chargers
linebacker Kenneth Murray
was reluctant to lower his high
standards for the defense, de-
spite the unit’s two sluggish
performances to start the sea-
son.
Murray didn’t want to
make excuses for a defense
that features star players Der-
win James and Joey Bosa, but
Murray is realizing that his
lofty goal of turning the Char-
gers into the best defense in
the league is going to take
time with several inexperi-
enced players.
“For me, it’s extremely frus-
trating because I hold myself
and this defense to an ex-
tremely high standard and
our coaches hold us to a high
standard,” Murray said Friday.
“Everybody’s frustrated be-
cause we want to be that de-
fense. We want to be the de-
fense that this team needs us
to be, which is the best in the
league.”
Murray is one of eight
starters on the Chargers’ de-
fense with less than four
years of experience. Of those
eight starters, six were first-
or second-round draft picks.
James (2018), defensive tackle
Jerry Tillery (2019) and Mur-
ray (2020) were selected in
the first round. Edge rusher
Uchenna Nwosu (2018), safety
Nasir Adderley (2019) and
cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.
(2021) were taken in the sec-
ond round.
The Chargers’ defense has
youth, but it also has plenty
of potential, which prompted
Murray to say in training camp
that the goal is to become the
best defensive unit in the NFL
in 2021.
Chargers GM Tom Telesco
has invested in the defense
and added to it this offseason
by hiring head coach Brandon
Staley, a coach with a defensive
background in the NFL.
But the Chargers are far
from reaching their potential,
even with James and Bosa on
the field and a defensive “guru”
calling plays.
The Chargers’ defense has
struggled to execute Staley’s
scheme and that has allowed
the Washington Football Team
and Dallas Cowboys to have
success on the ground in the
first two weeks.
The growing pains cost
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sprints away from Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray

them in the loss to the Cow-
boys, but the Chargers still lim-
ited that high-scoring offense
to 20 points (just six over the
final three quarters).
But the Chargers’ opponent
Sunday is known for making
teams pay for poor execution
and growing pains with touch-
downs. The Chargers need to
flash their considerable poten-
tial Sunday against the Kan-
sas City Chiefs at Arrowhead
Stadium.
“You got to be able to stay
patient and stay persistent
and stay consistent in order to
be able to do things that are
great,” Murray said. “At the
end of the day, I think it all
comes down to just continu-
ing to have that mentality,
continue to work at it. Even-
tually, you’ll have a break-
through.”
Perhaps the breakthrough
can come when it’s least ex-
pected. The Chargers are
seven-point underdogs at most
sports books.
But the Chiefs rarely lose at
home and don’t have a habit of
losing back to back games.
Last week, Chiefs quarter-
back Patrick Mahomes had
his first September loss since
becoming the starter in 2018
when they fell to the Baltimore
Ravens, 36-35.
The five-time AFC West
champions have been vulner-
able on defense, allowing 32.5
points per game this season.
The Chiefs are also allowing a
league-worst 202 rushing yards
KYUSUNG GONG – THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
and 469 total yards per game.
The Chargers are allowing 162
rushing yards per game, the
third-worst mark in the NFL.
But Ravens quarterback La-
mar Jackson needed to man-
ufacture 36 points to outpace
Mahomes and his high-scor-
ing offense.
Chargers quarterback Jus-
tin Herbert and his offense
have stalled in the red zone
and are only averaging 18.5
points per game.
Herbert and his many
weapons should find more
success against the Chiefs’
subpar defense, but the Char-
gers’ defense needs to play its
part if they want to avoid a 1-2
record with upcoming games
against the Las Vegas Raid-
ers, Cleveland Browns and
Ravens.
The Chargers’ inexperienced
defense could be forced to grow
up because they also might not
have the luxury of having Bosa
on the field. He’s questionable
to play with injuries to his an-
kle and foot. Also, veteran cor-
nerback Chris Harris Jr. is out
with a shoulder injury and de-
fensive tackle Justin Jones,
possibly the team’s best run
stopper, is doubtful with a calf
injury.
Tillery will be needed on
the defensive line. The former
first-round pick has struggled
to find consistency throughout
his three-year career, but the
Chargers’ coaches are staying
patient with his development.
“Jerry’s been doing what we
ask,” Chargers defensive co-
ordinator Renaldo Hill said.
“Obviously, Dallas was tough.
They ran the ball well. But he
was in the places where we
asked him to be. There are
other people around us that
have to help support the run.
He’s holding some double-
teams in there, and it’s tough
a lot of times. We all have to
do better, coaches and players.
We have to put them in bet-
ter spots.”
Adderley showed improve-
ment against the Cowboys af-
ter a rocky season-opening per-
formance in Washington. Sam-
uel did the same by containing
Dallas’ top wide receivers and
recording his first career inter-
ception.
The Chargers will need their
young defensive backs to con-
tinue making improvements
against the speed of Chiefs
wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
“We’re going to have our
eyes glued on a lot of people
this week,” Renaldo Hill said
of the Chiefs’ offense. “It’s go-
ing to take a team effort. It’s
going to take that communi-
cation where guys are identi-
fying those splits, and what
they’d like to do out of those
looks. We have to be vocal. We
can’t have any secrets back
there.”
Adderley, Samuel and cor-
nerback Michael Davis will
need a group effort to limit
Hill, and James is capable of
covering All-Pro tight end Tra-
vis Kelce.

Line: Chiefs by 7points
Notable injury designations: Chargers: Edge
Joey Bosa (questionable; ankle/foot), CB Chris
Harris Jr. (out; shoulder), DT Justin Jones
(doubtful; calf)
Chiefs: DE Frank Clark (doubtful; hamstring), DE
Chris Jones (questionable; wrist), CB Charvarius
Ward (questionable; quad)
What’s at stake?: A chance to make the AFC
West an interesting division. The Chiefs have
dominated the AFC West by winning it the past
five years. The Chargers can make it an open
division this season by defeating the Chiefs
on Sunday and handing them a 1-2record. The
Chiefs aren’t used to losing in September. Last
week, the Chiefs lost to the Baltimore Ravens,
36-35. It was Patrick Mahomes’ first loss in a
September game since becoming the team’s
starting quarterback in 2018.
Who’s better?: The Chiefs’ track record and
many weapons on offense say they’re bet-
ter than the Chargers. But the Chiefs’ defense
is why they trailed big against the Cleveland
Browns in Week 1before rallying and why 35
points wasn’t good enough to beat the Ravens.
The Chiefs are allowing a league-worst 469
yards per game and 32.5points per game head-
ing into Week 3. This might be the game when
the Chargers’ offense fixes its issues inside
the red zone. But the Chargers’ scoring aver-
age of 18.5points per game likely won’t be good
enough against the Chiefs.
Matchup to watch: Chargers safety Derwin
James vs. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. One of
the best performances of James’ memorable
rookie season in 2018was on “Thursday Night
Football” when he contained Kelce at Arrow-
head Stadium. The Chargers probably need
another performance like that from James if
they want to beat the Chiefs on the road. James
hasn’t recorded a takeaway this season, but his
coverage skills are still among the league’s best.
It’s going to take a stellar performance to slow
down the Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end.
Chargers win if: … They improve the rushing
defense and get pressure on Mahomes. The
Chargers are allowing 162rushing yards per
game, the third-worst mark in the NFL heading
into Week 3. The last thing teams want to do
is make the Chiefs’ offense multi-dimensional.
They’ll need to contain running back Clyde Ed-
wards-Helaire and apply pressure on Mahomes.
Joey Bosa, who is nursing multiple injuries, can’t
carry the Chargers’ defensive line alone. They
need edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu and defensive
tackle Jerry Tillery to step up.
Fantasy sleeper: Chargers running back Austin
Ekeler will likely create many mismatches
against the Chiefs’ defense. Ekeler saw nine
targets in the passing game last week against
the Cowboys after not receiving a single target
in the season opener. The Chargers will probably
create one-on-one situations on the outside for
Ekeler to face the Chiefs’ struggling safeties
and linebackers. Ekeler had 115total yards in
Week 2.
Prediction: The Chargers’ offense will correct
its red-zone troubles to keep this game close,
but their inexperience on defense will hurt them
down the stretch. Brandon Staley’s defense
needs consistency from the younger players,
but Week 3might be too soon to expect them to
become playmakers against the Chiefs’ high-
scoring offense. Chargers lose in Kansas City,
28-24.

“It’s light years from that

Which would make the
Bucs, a rare champion that has

dable test for the Rams.

ordinator Brandon Staley and

duced a dropoff.
In 2020, the Rams’ league-
leading defense limited Brady
to 4.5 yards per pass, with
rookie safety Jordan Fuller in-
tercepting two.
“Getting that big-time win,
it was kind of the formula on
what you would like to get
done versus a Tom Brady foot-
ball team,” said Raheem Mor-
ris, the Rams’ first-year defen-
sive coordinator. “You got to go
out there and you got to find a
way to affect the quarterback,
meaning whether it be hits or
making them throw the ball

want to.

know as the short passing

make tackles. You got to make
those tackles.”

tercepted a Jared Goff pass in
last year’s game, and probably
without wide receiver Antonio
Brown (COVID-19), who had
eight catches.
Brown’s absence would leave
only wide receivers Chris God-
win and Mike Evans and tight
end Rob Gronkowski, who have
combined for eight of Brady’s
league-high nine touchdown
passes in home wins over the
Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta
Falcons.
In the Rams’ first two
games, wins over the Chi-
cago Bears and Colts, the de-
fense gave up yards but came
up with interceptions, sacks
and goal-line stops. That was
against Andy Dalton and Car-
son Wentz. Brady might not
make the same mistakes.
“(We’re) playing against a
veteran guy that’s been doing
it a long time and playing at a
high level,” Donald said. “We’ve
got our hands full, but we’re
prepared.”
All of that sounds like an un-
derstatement about Brady, 44
and looking for his eighth Su-
per Bowl title.
“He gets the ball out of his
hands fast,” Donald said. “So
you got to get prepared for that,
find ways to get your hands up.
There’s going to be opportuni-
ties to where he’s going to have
to hold the ball. And we’ve got
to take advantage of that, and
that’s getting sacks or getting
hits on him.”
Donald has never sacked
Brady, and his teams are 1-2
against Brady’s, including the
Rams’ 13-3 loss to the Patri-
ots in Super Bowl LIII. But the
Rams held Brady below his ca-
reer passer rating in all three
games.
Ramsey’s teams have gone
2-1 against Brady’s, the loss
coming when the Patriots beat
the Jacksonville Jaguars in the
AFC championship game fol-
lowing the 2017 season.
“He is the greatest to play
the game, so there is just a lot
of respect there,” Ramsey said.
“He does a good job of lead-
ing his team, having his team
ready to play. That’s one thing
that I respect even more is just
his team’s always ready.”
Ramsey’s ability to line up
all over the field contributes
to what Brady said is one of
the hardest parts of facing the
Rams.
“It’s just a challenging team,
because I think they do a good
job of disguising coverages
(and) they’ve got a great pass
rush,” Brady said. “The cor-
ners do a good job of locking
onto receivers, and they all do
a good job of having their eyes
on the quarterback and react-
ing to where the quarterback’s
looking.
“There’s not a lot of chances
to go to second reads and so
forth. If you look one way,
chances are the ball’s got to
come out, because of how fast
that pass rush gets home.”

SHEBOYGAN, WIS. >> The pressure

The Americans held their

ASHLEY LANDIS — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Team USA’s Bryson DeChambeau,
back, gives partner Scottie
Scheffler a chest bump after
the latter sank a putt to win the
crucial 15th hole during a four-
ball match at the Ryder Cup on
Saturday at Whistling Straits.
Shane Lowry, who holed a 10-
foot par putt on the 18th green
and was pumping his arms so
furiously in celebration that he
finally dropped his putter on
the ground.
So much was as stake. So lit-
tle was gained.
“We’re not in a good posi-
tion and it’s going to take a be-
yond monumental effort,” said
Ian Poulter, who has failed to
deliver a point in two matches.
“So we need a couple of mira-
cles.”
The Americans routed Eu-
rope again in foursomes — a
third straight 3-1 margin — to
build a 9-3 lead.
And while Europe was ahead
in three of the afternoon four-
balls, Scheffler’s 15-foot birdie
putt on the 15th hole and his
nifty up-and-down for birdie on
the next hole carried him and
Bryson DeChambeau to vic-
tory in the final match on the
course.
Next up is the final session
of 12 singles matches, histor-
ically an American strength.
They need to reach 141/2 points
to win back that gold trophy.
The U.S. team led 121/2-31/2
going into Sunday in 1975 when
it played against only Britain
and Ireland. Dating to the mod-
ern era of 1979, when continen-
tal Europe joined the party, its
largest lead was 101/2-51/2 in
1981 at Walton Heath.
LPGA
Japan’s Nasa Hataoka made
a hole-in-one for the second
straight day and shot a 6-under
65 Saturday to move into a tie
with Australia’s Minjee Lee af-
ter two rounds of the Walmart
NW Arkansas Championship.
The 22-year-old Hataoka,
whose first of four LPGA Tour
victories came at this event in
2018, used a 5-iron to ace the
180-yard, par-3 sixth hole at
Pinnacle Country Club.
Lee, who won the Evian
Championship in July, fired an
8-under 63 in the second round
and moved into a tie with Hata-
oka at 12 under.
Hataoka aced the 135-yard
11th hole in Friday’s first round.
She is the fifth player in LPGA
Tour history to record multiple
aces in the same event. The two
aces will result in donations of
$20,000 each to St. Jude’s Chil-
dren’s Hospital.
“It’s obviously something
that’s not able to be done eas-
ily, so I really, really feel proud
of it,” said Hataoka, who made
five birdies with one bogey.
PGA Tour Champions
K.J. Choi shot a 4-under 68
Saturday for a two-stroke lead
over Alex Cejka and Bernhard
Langer after two rounds of the
PGA Tour Champions PURE In-
surance Championship.
Choi followed an opening 67
with a bogey-free round that
included three birdies on the
front nine and one on the back
at Pebble Beach.
“Today starting so very good,
it’s No. 2 and 3 birdieing back
to back,” the 51-year-old South
Korean said. “And on the back
nine, it’s a little difficult, as the
wind blowing.”
Choi credited his improved
putting, saying he was perfect
in both rounds from inside of
5 feet.
Cejka, the first-round leader
after a 67, played the front nine
at Spyglass Hill in 3 under and
then struggled on the back nine
with three bogeys and a birdie
for a round of 1 under.

From child to showgirl to struggling actress
to Halloween favorite, the Mistress of the
Dark opens up in memoir ‘Yours Cruelly’
By Kelli Skye Fadroski » kfadroski@scng.com
C
assandra Peterson was 8 years old when she
The film was William Castle’s “House on
Haunted Hill,” starring Vincent Price. She was
both repelled and fascinated by it, but it sparked
a lifelong love affair with the horror genre that would eventu-
ally lead Peterson to create her Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
persona and go on to become the Queen of Halloween.
This year, Peterson is celebrating the 40th anniver-
sary of Elvira, a character she began cultivating
during her time at The Groundlings Theatre
& School in Los Angeles. She’s hosting “El-
vira’s 40th Anniversary Very Scary, Very
Special Special” on AMC’s new horror
streaming service Shudder, and she’s
currently promoting her new tell-all
memoir, “Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs
of the Mistress of the Dark,” published
by Hachette Books.
The book is filled with stories of
triumph and tragedy that reveal how she
transformed herself into a pop culture icon
with long black-painted fingernails, a biting
sense of humor and undeniable sex appeal.

Cassandra Peterson holds a previously released book in 2016at Comic-Con in San Diego. Her new memoir is “Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark.”
Elvira
FROM PAGE 1
In the memoir, she re-
veals a truth she’s been
keeping close to the vest
for nearly two decades:
She’s been in a loving re-
lationship with a woman,
her former trainer whom
she refers to only as T, for
19 years.
“Keeping a secret doesn’t
feel good,” Peterson said
during a recent phone in-
terview from her L.A.-area
home, where she was mak-
ing arrangements to host
her 70th birthday party.
“I’m glad to have it out
there,” she continued. “I
mean, it does worry me. I
have moments where I go,
‘Maybe people won’t like
me anymore’ and ‘Maybe
I won’t get work anymore.’
It’s ridiculous to think
that, but I have friends
who are gay and have come
out of the closet and it af-
fected their work, relation-
ships and their life. So it’s
not so far-fetched to be
worried. But on the other
side of that, it’s so draining
keeping it a secret. It’s not
good for you, it’s not good
for us. It sucks the energy
out of you.”
Peterson said her sex-
uality is fluid. She never
thought about being gay
and still is attracted to
men, too.
“I just met this partic-
ular person, and I fell in
love,” she said.
As much as the book is
about the rise of Elvira, it’s
also about Peterson’s strug-
gle to survive a myriad of
challenges thrown her way,
from a childhood accident
that left burn scars over
30% of her body and fac-
ing rejection in Hollywood
to battling through years
of verbal, physical and sex-
ual abuse.
“I’d say the one char-
acteristic I have that has
served me the best is per-
severance,” she said. “I
just don’t give up; I keep
going. I got knocked down
so many times and just
got back up to do it again.
I think that’s important in
not only making a career
in Hollywood but in any
career you’d want to do.
I’m always telling young
actors to not get discour-
aged. I was 30 before I
made enough money to pay
my rent.”
Peterson was a teenage
go-go dancer turned Las
Vegas showgirl who took
advice that Elvis Presley
gave her and left Nevada
to pursue acting full-time.
She spent the next decade
taking on small roles but
never landing any big gigs.
Just before she was go-
ing to call it quits on her
30th birthday in 1981, she
got the call that changed
her life. She was offered a
late-night TV hosting gig
sharing B-grade horror
and science fiction movies
with the audience on KHJ
Channel 9 in Los Angeles,
eventually titled “Elvira’s
Movie Macabre.”
Her character, Elvira,
was spooky, funny and
sexy, with a Valley girl ac-
cent, dark makeup and a
beehive style hairdo in-
spired by Ronettes singer
Ronnie Spector. Peterson
sought input from come-
dian, writer and fellow
Groundling John Paragon
to bring Elvira to life. Par-
agon, who died this year
in Palm Springs at age 66,
and Peterson were always
close, like brother and sis-
ter, she said. He was her
daughter’s godfather and
she’s in possession of his
ashes.
“John is sitting next to
me right now,” she said.
“He was one of the funni-
est people that ever lived.
He was so out there and bi-
zarre. He came in early on
at Groundlings with me
doing Elvira, and from the
beginning, we developed
this character together.
Our brains became one
big Elvira brain. His help
was absolutely invaluable.
It would not have been the
same character had John
not been around, that’s for
sure.”
Once Elvira caught on in
the early ’80s, she went on
to star in her own feature
films, do commercials and
appear at horror-themed
conventions. In 1982, she
got her own show inside
the Charles M. Schulz The-
atre at Knott’s Berry Farm
during the theme park’s
annual Scary Farm event;
she stopped doing the
show in 2017.
Peterson said that when
it came time to write the
1988 film “Elvira: Mistress
of the Dark,” she and Par-
agon went wild with the
double entendres and gags
just to see what they could
get away with.
“I mention in the book
that we also wrote with
Sam Egan, who is a very
talented writer and also
the adult in the room,” she
said. “John and I would or-

lieve this is still going on.”
She brings up several in-
cidents in the book where
she suffered at the hands
of agents, rock stars and a
pro athlete.
“It was men who were in
a position of control,” she
said. “It’s your boss, it’s a
casting director, it’s what-
ever; they’re still in con-
trol and they’re still able
to dash a young person’s
dreams completely. There
are a billion stories like
that, and I had moments.
The very first thing I had
when I got to Hollywood
was an agent trying to put
his hands on me, and I felt
like going home and quit-
ting. Those things kept
coming at me, too. They
never really slowed down
until I got famous enough
or old enough not to put up
with that because my ca-
reer, life and income didn’t
depend on it anymore.”
She also had trusted
men in her life, including
her fellow Groundlings
Paul Reubens and Phil
Hartman, and her horror
hero, Vincent Price, who
taught her how to cook fish
in her dishwasher.
“He was so funny and
the most charming man I
have ever met,” she said of
Price. “He was a doll. He
was witty and a big cook.
He has this cookbook
that’s still out there, but
he had this tip for me. We
were together one evening
and he said, ‘You know you
can cook fish in your dish-
washer by wrapping it in
tin foil, then washing the
dishes. Just make sure it’s
really sealed so no water
gets in, and when it’s done,
you have a delicious meal.’
We tried it that night and
it works.”
Each decade and mile-
stone birthday, Peterson
has half-joked that she’d
be retiring Elvira. She said
it on her 50th and 60th
birthdays, but now at 70,
she’s thinking of keeping
her around a little longer.
“I really think I have
got to retire someday,” she
said. “Then I look at Jane
Fonda and I go, ‘Well,
maybe 80 wouldn’t be bad.’
I’ve been working since I
was 14 and supporting
myself full-time. In work
years, I’m about 175 right

drag but still work on all

A metalhead for business
Guitarist Jay Jay
French details the
practical approach
that brought success
to Twisted Sister
By Peter Larsen
plarsen@scng.com
When Twisted Sister was sell-
ing out tours and racking up hits
like “We’re Not Gonna Take It,”
guitarist Jay Jay French felt vin-
dicated for the decade he’d spent
playing bars and clubs and work-
ing on his rock ’n’ roll dreams.
And when bitterness and bank-
ruptcy broke up the band just a
few years later? French fell so
far he found himself working the
graveyard shift at a friend’s pool
hall, scraping by to support his
family until he could plot a sec-
ond act.
“Working in the pool hall was
the first level of humiliation,” says
French, 69, on a recent call from
his apartment on the Upper West
Side of Manhattan. “But I didn’t
have time to dwell on this [stuff].
“It’s like, what are you gonna
do? Kill yourself?” he says. “It’s
like, move the [heck] on with
your life.”
His next job, at a high-end au-
dio store, was a small step up.
“I thought, ‘OK, I’m married;
I have a kid. I had a rock ’n’ roll
dream, and it ended,'” he says.
“Time to move on, you know —
you can’t really dwell.”
Sometimes at night, though,
while sweeping up after hours,
French wondered if this was it.
“I started to feel a ‘Death of a
Salesman’ kind of thing,” he says,
referring to the beaten-down and
deluded protagonist of the iconic
Arthur Miller play. “I was Willy
Loman, like, ‘Is this really how it
goes? You’re gonna be nothing but
a stereo salesman?’ ”
“Twisted Business: Lessons
From My Rock ‘N’ Roll Life” is
the story of a high school drop-
out turned teenage drug dealer
who left that to form a glam-
metal band.
It’s the tale of how a bar band
in the tri-state area of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut
struggled for mainstream success
for years, and then earned it, only
to see it all slip away.
And it’s also a chronicle of how
French eventually realized his tal-
ent for business was equal to that
for music, a discovery that led to
the reunion of Twisted Sister, a
career as a motivational speaker
and now a book that mixes mem-
oir and business advice.
“I decided it would come from
a perspective of business because
that’s how I perceived my posi-
tion in the rock world — through
a business prism,” French says.
“And that would be unusual be-
cause most people don’t realize
that.
“Most people have a thing
about, you know, rock ’n’ roll mu-
sicians become successful because
you make a deal with the devil or
something. You know, sex, drugs,
rock ’n’ roll, fairy dust. Somehow,
magically, it all happens.
“And that may be the case for
some people, but for me it was a
methodical process.”

In 2013, Evans pitched his

“Twisted Business: The Soul of
Twisted Sister and the Art of
Reinvention” is French’s take on
achieving success.
Street hustles
In hindsight, French can trace
his interest in business to his
childhood in the early ’60s when
he figured out he could make
enough money selling cookies to
buy a $25 guitar.
“My father was a jewelry sales-
man, and look, if you’re a New
York kid and your father’s a sales-
man, there’s a certain shtick, a
certain kind of ebb and flow and
jive,” French says. “Especially in
New York, because New York, you
know, runs at a pretty fast pace.
“And my father, he knew that
and he would expose me to it,”
he says. “It’s almost like ‘Guys
and Dolls,’ you know, that kind
of Damon Runyonesque cocki-
ness. That’s what I grew up with,
and so did all my friends, for that
matter.
“Most of my friends were all
into scams and all kinds of hus-
tles. I sold firecrackers before
I sold Boy Scout cookies, and I
didn’t get into the drug scene un-
til I was 15.”
It was around then, French
says, that he realized he could
make a lot more money selling
site BlackNerdProblems.com,
which launched in 2014.
“It was like the Avengers com-
ing together,” says Holmon.
Evans points out that Black
Nerd Problems developed at a
time when there were commu-
nities and websites emphasizing
the perspectives of marginalized
voices in pop culture journalism.
“I think that what drove us to be
different was that we were just
our authentic voice,” he adds.
That ended up working to the
site’s advantage. Seeing how the
input of their friends was ex-
panding their interests and the
diversity of voices, they realized
this could also “have the same
effect for people who were com-
ing to the site,” says Evans.
Evans and Holmon cover a
wide breadth of the pop culture
landscape — everything from
comic books to anime to TV se-
ries and video games is refer-
enced — while also digging into
the racial history of the United
States and tackling issues of rep-
resentation in media.
So how did it become a book?
“I had been working on a
book, a poetry collection, a cou-
ple of years ago and was fortu-
nate enough for it to get picked

marijuana to fellow hippies in
Central Park and use that to buy
a better guitar.
“What I said to myself was, ‘I
need to raise money to buy gui-
tars and amps and finance my
rock ’n’ roll dreams,'” he says. “So
I could go to the Fillmore anytime
I want, see any show I want. That
was kind of the mentality behind
it.”
And that’s exactly what he
did for the next five years: deal-
ing drugs, taking drugs, going to
shows by then-new acts including
the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin
and David Bowie.
And ultimately, overdosing on
heroin, a wake-up call that led
him to quit it all at 20 and refo-
cus on rock ’n’ roll.
Working on a dream
After auditioning for Gene Sim-
mons and Paul Stanley but not
landing a spot in the costumed
metal band Kiss, French crossed
the Hudson River to New Jer-
sey to join the band that became
Twisted Sister.
Drink and drugs led the first
two versions of the band to crash
up by a large press,” says Evans.
In the course of that project,
the idea of turning Black Nerd
Problems into a book arose. “It
was pitched to us as, ‘Would you
ever consider this being a collec-
tion?’ ” he recalls.
It was an interesting, albeit
unexpected, proposition. “We
got into this because we want to
nerd out online and share that
with people and have fun with it
and wave our nerd flag,” says Ev-
ans. “I don’t think that we ever

In 1982, after a few false starts,
Twisted Sister finally scored the
major label deal it had sought for
a decade, signing with Atlantic
Records even though its presi-
dent hated the band and refused
to spend money to promote it.
No matter. Two years later, fu-

Three years after that, Twisted

Talking business
French didn’t stay at the stereo
store that long. As the owner of
the band’s trademark and name,
he started reissuing Twisted Sis-

sic for commercials by the early
’90s. Still, the bad blood of the
breakup made a reunion impos-
sible.
And then the terrorist attacks
of 9/11 happened. A metal bene-
fit concert was pitched. Twisted
Sister agreed to play.
And ever yone — French,

turned into 15 years of touring, a

The Tubes tottering into Southland clubs

By Richard Guzman
riguzman@scng.com
Fee Waybill just turned 71, but
he still puts on the 18-inch stilet-
tos he’s been wearing onstage for
more than 40 years.
They’re at the shoe repair shop
right now getting new zippers and
soles in preparation for his band’s
next shows, where he’ll slip them
on before he performs as a drunk,
coked-up glam rocker at the Can-
yon Club in Agoura Hills and
Montclair in early October.
“Oh yeah, these are the same
boots I’ve had since 1980; I’ve
had them repaired many, many
times,” said Waybill, the frontman
for glam and theatrical rock pio-
neer band The Tubes.
Formed in San Francisco in
1973, The Tubes mixed their par-
ody-driven rock songs with outra-
geous live performance art shows
usually made up of about a dozen
people onstage, including barely
dressed dancing girls and roadies
in costumes that often depicted
unmentionable body parts along-
side Waybill’s many onstage per-
sonalities, like the punk parody
Johnny Bugger and a country
singer named Hugh Heifer.
But the star of the show was
the stiletto-wearing Quay Lewd, a
drug-addled British pop star who
often stumbled and fell all over
the stage in those sky-high heels
as part of the show.
“They were parodies; they were
sarcasm; they were satire,” Way-
bill said of his various onstage
characters.
“It’s more than just a band. It’s
performance art. We just loved
the theatrical part of it. It was
just fun,” Waybill said. “We had
dancers; we had sets; we had a

choreographer. It was like every
song was a vignette. Every song
had costumes and props and a
whole storyline that we were try-
ing to portray through the music
and the visual,” he said.
While the band earned a lot
of attention for its theatrics, the
music was also memorable, as the
group produced hits like “She’s a
Beauty,” “White Punks on Dope,”
“Talk to Ya Later” and “Don’t
Want to Wait Anymore.”
The Tubes toured the world,
performing alongside bands such
as the New York Dolls, Iggy Pop
and Led Zeppelin.
But it wasn’t easy maintaining
this kind of theatrical momen-
tum year after year, so feeling a
bit burned out, the band broke up
in 1988, Waybill said.
“And then about six years later
we got back together without such
massive production and I think
the music became a lot more im-
portant, and we did a few more
albums,” he said.
But that doesn’t mean the the-
atrics are gone for good.
“I think now it’s kind of a per-
formance art that’s equally di-
vided between the theatrical and
music side,” Waybill said.
Waybill also recently released
a solo album, “Fee Waybill Rides
Again,” produced by longtime col-
laborator and best friend Richard
Marx.
“It’s an ’80s classic rock album,
very guitar-oriented. It’s an upt-
empo rock album, pretty straight-

Suiting up
The Tubes’ lineup includes four
original members, including Way-
bill, drummer Prairie Prince, gui-
tarist Roger Steen and bassist
Rick Anderson, along with long-
time keyboardist David Medd.
For the upcoming shows, the
band will perform 1981 album
“The Completion Backward Prin-
ciple” in its entirety.
“The Canyon Club in Agoura
Hills is kind of our home club.
We’ve played there many times,
so this will be very special for us,”
he said.

porate rock, so for the first part of

TASTE-OFF

THE BESST
peanut butters
P
eanut butter. It’s classic. It’s
addictive, and no two super-
market peanut butters taste
alike. Fans of peanut butter
typically have a favorite — and
insist that anything else tastes a lit-
tle “off.”
Understood.
But for those who have yet to land
on a favorite, we are here for you! We
grabbed 15 brands of peanut butter — mostly
crunchy — and tasted. They ranged from
thick pastes to thin purees, salted and un-
salted, sweetened and plain. Every peanut
butter made a statement — of some sort.
In many ways, peanut butter is a per-
fect food. It’s an amazingly versatile, plant-
based protein that works as breakfast, lunch,
a snack or even dessert, though it is high in
fat and calories. Smear it on toast or in
a PBJ, add it to oatmeal or a smoothie,
serve as a dip for apples, celery or ba-
nanas, or turn it into cookies, cakes,
salad dressing or even ice cream.
The best jarred peanut butters are
silky smooth purees of fresh, nicely
roasted peanuts seasoned with a bit
of salt and perhaps a touch of sugar.
The worst are murky spreads that are
stirred up with too much sugar, too much salt
— or oddball fats that literally overpower the
flavor of peanuts.
Here are details on the luscious peanut
butters that are destined to become your
new favorites, and the regrettable,
offensive pastes that should
remain in the jar. Nutrition

QUICK FIX

White rice and kimchi:

They play well together
By Cathy Thomas
Correspondent
Teaming starchy white rice with the
high-impact flavors of kimchi results in
a dish that is temptingly delicious. On its
own, kimchi can be cheekily sour, spicy
and pungent. The concoction of salted
and fermented vegetables is a staple in
Korean cuisine. Using it in a stir-fry of
sorts, along with day-old cooked grains
of rice, tames the flames in an irresist-
ible balance.
Jars of cabbage kimchi can be found
in supermarkets, generally in the refrig-
erated section that stocks Asian ingre-
dients such as wonton wrappers. Asian
markets often stock a wide variety of
jarred kimchi. Because it’s naturally fer-
mented, it’s a probiotic powerhouse.
Atop the mix is a small, salady garnish
of green onions napped with an Asian-
style vinaigrette. It adds appealing tex-
ture and flavor.
Kimchi rice
Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
Green onion salad garnish:
4 large or 5 small green onions,
trimmed, white and light green portions
1 teaspoon roasted Asian-style ses-
ame oil
1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

4 cups day-old cooked white rice, see
cook’s notes
1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus more as
needed
Cook’s notes: Leftover rice is some-
what dry, an important trait that allows
the grains to soak up the tasty liquid.
PROCEDURE
1. For garnish: Cut green onions thinly
crosswise on the diagonal. In medium-
small bowl, stir sesame oil, vinegar, ses-
ame seeds and salt. Add sliced onion and
toss; set aside.
2. Put kimchi in sieve or colander over
a bowl and allow to drain. Give sieve a
little shake or two to get the last of the
juices off (reserve juice). Chop kimchi.
3. In large, deep nonstick skillet, heat
canola oil on medium-high heat. Add
kimchi and cook on high heat, stirring
now and then, until edges of kimchi be-
come ever so slightly crisp and partially
stick to the pan, about 5 minutes. Crum-
ble rice into the skillet and stir to thor-
oughly combine. Add reserved kimchi
juice and cook, stirring frequently, un-
til rice is warmed and is red through and
through from the juice, about 4-5 min-
utes. Add a little more oil if needed and
stir-fry 2-3 additional minutes.
4. Remove from heat and drizzle with
soy sauce. Taste and add salt/and or soy
sauce as needed. Transfer to serving
bowl or serve straight from skillet. Top
with green onion salad.

The right
RECIPE ROUNDUP

STUFFED
VEGGIES Peak produce season is one of
the best times for these dishes
By Faye Levy and Yakir Levy >> Correspondents

Stuffed vegetables are popular these days because eggplant, peppers, zucchini and
tomatoes, which invite stuffing, are at the height of their seasons.
Usually the stuffings are made with meat, grains such as rice or bulgur wheat, or
a mixture of both. Cooks flavor the fillings with sautéed onions and often with gar-
lic, spices and herbs. The stuffed vegetables are moistened with olive oil, broth or
tomato sauce and can be baked or stewed.
Peppers have a natural cavity for stuffing. The other vegetables are hollowed; the
pulp that is removed can be added to the filling.
On menus of the weeklong Jewish harvest celebration — the festival of Sukkot,
which began Monday evening — stuffed vegetables are time-honored stars. Many
eat their meals in a sukkah, a temporary hut built in the garden or on the patio, that
has a leafy roof, often with fruits and vegetables hanging from it. It’s a fun holiday
in which meals take on a picnic-like air. Stuffed vegetables make satisfying, special
occasion meals in one dish, and a platter of them is easy to carry from the kitchen
to the sukkah. PHOTO BY MAREYA IBRAHIM

A Your question is timely

and relevant. The im-
portance of older workers is
highlighted during National
Employ Older Workers Week,
held the last full week in Sep-
tember. The goal is to in-
crease awareness of the older
segment of the workforce and
to develop strategies that tap
the potential of experienced
workers. The week also is to
honor the dedication, expe-
rience and commitment that
older workers bring to the
workforce.
Global research ana-
lyst Josh Bersin and Tomas
Chamorro-Premuzic, chief
innovation officer at Man-
powerGroup, wrote a 2019
article published in the Har-
vard Business Review titled
“The Case for Hiring Older
Workers.” According to the
piece, roughly 10,000 com-
panies had been asked, “Is
age a competitive advan-
tage or disadvantage in your
organization?” Unsurpris-
ingly, more than two-thirds
of the companies considered
age a competitive disadvan-
tage. Age discrimination is
pervasive, as indicated by an
AARP report that found two-
thirds of those ages 45-74 ob-
74 is projected to increase by
4.2% annually, and the num-
ber of workers 75 or older is
expected to increase by 67%
annually. These are prepan-
demic numbers yet are worth
noting.
We are reminded of Mark
Zuckerberg’s 2007 public
statement that young people
are just smarter. That’s not
the case. Yes, there is some
cognitive decline after age
30, but two predictors of per-
formance — knowledge and
expertise — continue to in-
crease after age 80. And there
is no age limit to learning
new things.
Age and workplace wis-
dom are connected. Take en-
trepreneurship, for example.
Older and more tenured peo-
ple are more successful entre-
preneurs. “Those over the age
of 40 are three times more
likely to create successful
companies as a result of their
patient, collaborative natures,
and their lack of having a
‘need to prove myself’ atti-
tude,” according to the Har-
vard authors. They add that
companies that want to see
our economy flourish need
to take action and give older
people more opportunities.
• Include age diversity in
diversity, equity and inclu-
sion programs.
• Give older workers roles
as managers, supervisors or
mentors, as deserved.
• Recruit older people.
• Teach recruiters not to
discriminate because of age.
• Build a multigenerational
workforce.
• Create more pathways for
training
In a 2018 study, AARP
found that just “adding flex-
ible and part-time options”
would have encouraged 75%
of people age 50 and older to
stay in the workforce longer.
And more training opportu-
nities would have helped 55%
of the same group to con-
tinue working.”
Ageism in the workplace
deprives companies of talent
and productivity, deprives
older adults of income and
sense of purpose and con-
nection, and finally, hurts
economic growth. In the
same AARP study, research-
ers calculated what older
workers might have contrib-
uted to the economy if they
had not been subject to age
discrimination. Their con-
tribution was estimated as
finance.
However, just being older
is not sufficient for employ-

Back then, the plantings in the little
courtyard were all young and excited to
grow.
“Look at me!” the once-small patch of jas-
mine messaged me from beneath the crape
myrtle tree. Now it covers the entire trunk
of the tree with vines artfully entangled in
the wrought iron entry gate.
Two small bougainvilleas galloped up the
open red tile fence we had built to enclose
the courtyard. They have grown so strong
they threaten to take down the fence if they
are not trimmed frequently. Over the years,
the flowers continued to model survival for
me. As they got stronger, I got stronger, and
yes, they texted me messages of support as
well as reminders.
“Did you walk today? We got you through
23 cancer-free years. Don’t blow it now by
forgetting to exercise.”
We have a unique relationship, the flow-
ers and I. Our lives have become bound
up in each others’ survival. I have spent
many hours on this swing talking to them
through good times and less good times.
They have cried with me and celebrated
with me.
I check in with my garden cheerleaders
every year at this time, when I know to ex-
pect their texts — text I admit that only I
can see.
“Thank you,” I will reply. “You have been
such good company.”

aised in a Spanish-speaking
home by parents who
emigrated from Ecuador to
northern California, Steve
Limones and his fam-
ily quickly assimilated into American
culture. “Growing up, I thought, ‘I have to
be like white people’ because that’s what
I knew,” Steve said about his experience
going to a Christian private school in
a predominantly white community. “I
would get embarrassed if I had to speak
Spanish.”
Steve knew from a young age that
his ultimate dream was to sing, act and
dance as a performer at Disneyland
Resort. When he went to study musical
theater in grad school, Steve’s Latino
background became more front and cen-
ter. “My professors didn’t know where to

cast in standard Hispanic roles, instead
of roles that were traditionally represent-

his husband, James. Back in the states,
Steve was cast in Disneyland Resort
shows like “ElecTRONica” and “Mad T
Party,” and later became part of the icon-

“In a lot of ways, it felt like my childhood
dream came true.”
While Steve’s dream may have come
true, it wasn’t until he was cast in “A
Musical Celebration of Coco” that he
experienced an awakening. “A Musi-
cal Celebration of Coco” is a festive and
colorful show that tells the story of the
Disney and Pixar film with music, dance
and authentic costumes, offered at Plaza
de la Familia in Disney California Adven-
ture park.
“To see a full audience of Latinos —
some of them crying, some of them nod-
ding in agreement when I talked about
Dia de los Muertos... [as part of the show]
... it’s a real authenticity that the audi-
ence has a deep, emotional connection
to,” Steve said of his first time performing
the role.
That moment represented a pivotal
shift in Steve’s perspective. “I started to
see that being Latino was actually very

From that moment forward, Steve

Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House
‘Memorializes’ 20 Years with Monstrous Mansion Mash-Up

A chill went down Graphic Designer
Tim Wollweber’s spine when he realized
two Roman numeral “X”s for the eyes of
zombie gingerbread men would perfectly
“skelebrate” 20 seasons of Haunted Man-

the Gingerbread House in the mansion’s
ballroom, which debuted to guests this
month.
“It’s so fitting, isn’t it?” Tim chuckled.
“I love to think about all the double X’s
we’re placing everywhere. In fact, we’re
calling the house ‘EXXhumed Delight,’
since we basically dug up references to
the past 19 years of gingerbread houses
to create this one.”
Dead-icated fans of the attraction,

Pluto Brings the Halloween ‘Paw-ty’ to Downtown Disney District
By Matt Nixon
Halloween Time is back at the Disney-
land Resort, and a howling new offering
has arrived in the Downtown Disney
District: Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. Guests
will search throughout the district for
character-themed pumpkins, fill a game
board with stickers and redeem it for a
spooky prize.
“I love Downtown Disney District
because every year we get to decorate it
totally differently for each season,” said
Sara Dehghan, the Resort Enhancement
team lead who managed the project.
“There’s a lot of space for creativity.”
Sara’s team was tasked with a new
challenge: choosing pumpkins to be
transformed into classic Disney char-
acters. “For Goofy, we picked a taller
pumpkin, Mickey is more round and
Stitch had to be smaller than Lilo,” Sara
said. The team worked with partners to
ensure each character’s unique features
came through on the pumpkins — from

Disneyland Resort Honored to Present Family of Fallen Marine with Tribute
By Lisa Greathouse
Of all the proud moments I’ve had as a
Disneyland Resort cast member, perhaps
the proudest was having the privilege
to share this story about how the resort
helped to honor Marine Cpl. Hunter
Lopez earlier this month.
Alicia and Herman Lopez remember
how much their son Hunter loved all
things Star Wars, even telling his parents
before he deployed that he wanted to
be buried with the lightsaber he built at
Disneyland park in November 2019.
Less than two years later, 22-year-old
Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez has been laid
to rest, one of the 13 U.S. service mem-
bers killed in the attack at the Kabul
airport in Afghanistan on Aug. 26.
His parents intended to honor
Hunter’s request, “but I just couldn’t find
the courage to part with the lightsaber he
built,” Mrs. Lopez said through tears. So
the Lopezes, along with their 18-year-old
son and 17-year-old daughter — just six
days after Hunter’s death — drove from
their home in Indio to build a replica
of the lightsaber Hunter had created in
Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s
Edge. And this one, built by his entire
family, would be buried with him.
“As we walked into Disneyland, the
marching band was coming out onto
Main Street [U.S.A.] and started to play
a Star Wars song,” Mrs. Lopez recalled.
“We don’t know if it was Disney magic or
whether it was Hunter, but either way it
felt good knowing he was there with us.”

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Bringing a Native American Influence to Tenaya Stone Spa
By Yvonne Lee
Look around Tenaya Stone Spa and you
can’t help but feel the tranquil beauty
of California’s Yosemite Valley. Natural
elements are everywhere, from the wood
rounds in the flooring and décor of agate
and quartz crystals to a chandelier made
of old tree roots hanging in the boutique.
A closer look at the design details of the
spa, which opened Sept. 16 at Disney’s
Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, also re-
veals a deep appreciation and respect for
the indigenous cultures of the region.
Dawn Jackson, a Native American
cultural advisor at Disney, began work-
ing on the project as an Imagineer on the
Story Development team. Now an associ-
ate in Corporate Brand Management,
Dawn played a significant role in bring-
ing Tenaya Stone Spa to life and contin-
ues to serve as an internal cultural re-
source on projects at Disney that include
Native American representation. Dawn
could not have imagined the cultural
advisor role she would eventually play at
the company when she began working
in creative development at Disney Stores
in 1993. At the time, Disney was working
on the film “Pocahontas,” and Dawn’s
team was developing the product lines,
referencing Great Plains tribal beadwork
and Southwestern iconography.
Dawn, a member of the Saginaw
Chippewa Tribe, is from Michigan, and
her tribe shares the same Algonquin
language base as Pocahontas’ tribe, the
Powhatan Tribe in Virginia. “I remember
thinking, ‘I’m not sure we are represent-
ing the Native people of Virginia of that
time period correctly in our product de-
signs.’” Dawn did her own research and
put together her own style boards for her
leaders. “I didn’t even know if anyone
would look at them, but I said, ‘this is
my culture and this is what I know,’ and

work for the Riverside County Sheriff’s
Department, helped arrange for the

ber Services Coordinator Rex Roberts
heard that the family would be coming
later that day, he advised a few resort
leaders to see what else they could do,
given Disney’s legacy of honoring mili-
tary service personnel, veterans and their
families. Members of SALUTE — the cast
member Business Employee Resource
Group (BERG) that supports veterans
and members of the military — con-
nected with Dan Hughes, vice president
of Security at the resort.
“We took the American flag that
was flying over Disneyland and quickly
had it framed and created a plaque, so
we could present it to the family,” Dan
shared. In the space of 90 minutes, he

that’s how it all started. That was 28 years
ago, and it has just grown from there.”
Dawn’s role as a resource expanded
to Native American community outreach
nationwide while continuing to advise
on Native American-related content and
products at Disney, from movies and
merchandise to games and now, a spa at
the Disneyland Resort.
In 2018, Katrina Mosher, an art direc-
tor at Walt Disney Imagineering, con-
nected with Dawn’s team while working
on updates to Disney’s Grand Californian
Hotel & Spa; she wanted to incorporate a
Native American-inspired storyline that
guests would feel during their experi-
ence. As they worked together on the
spa, Dawn and Katrina created a design
philosophy inspired by tribal teachings
on wellness and balance. “In my tribe,
a life well lived means it is in balance in
four areas of one’s life: social, spiritual,
emotional and physical,” explained
Dawn. The theme of the natural order of

was on his way to Club 33. “I said, ‘Your
son’s sacrifice means the world to our
country and also to us at Disneyland,
and it’s our honor to give you this token
of our appreciation,’” Dan recounted.
“Mrs. Lopez broke down in tears and
said, ‘My son loved Disneyland,’ and the
whole room got choked up.”
Mrs. Lopez said later that the family
has been annual passholders for decades
and that Hunter had loved coming to
the parks since he was a toddler — the
spinning tea cups at Mad Tea Party were
his favorite. He loved Winnie the Pooh
so much as a child that his mother still
called the Marine by his nickname,

Stone Spa: four main colors (white, red,
black, yellow); four stones (white mag-
nesite, red pumice, black obsidian, gold
pyrite); four indigenous medicinal plants
(sweet grass, sage, cedar, tobacco); and
special signifiers to mark the four direc-
tional points of the spa: north, south, east
and west.
Dawn met with various tribal contacts
and friends who introduced her to con-
tacts in the Yosemite Valley, whom she
later learned were direct descendants
of Chief Tenaya of the Ahwahnechee
Miwok people. These relationships pro-
vided Dawn and Katrina with a deeper
appreciation of the tribe’s culture, which
is reflected in the spa’s design and décor.
A Native American artist created paint-
ings inspired by basketry patterns made
of acorns and pine needles.
For instance, white magnesite, previ-
ously used as a form of currency by some
California tribes, represents “earth” —

“Hunter Pooh.” But Star Wars was his
passion, she said. “He’d dress up as a Jedi
for Halloween, he knew all the movies,
all the lines — even the background
characters.” Mrs. Lopez laughed as she
recalled that when she was pregnant
with her second child, then-5-year-old
Hunter asked if he could name the baby
“Uncle Owen” after the character Owen
Lars, who appeared in several Star Wars
films. They agreed to keep the name
Owen, and laughed as they explained to
Hunter why they’d have to drop “uncle.”
In fact, Owen had enlisted in the Army
just hours before the family received a
knock on the door from casualty notifi-
cation officers about Hunter, who had
wanted to follow in his parents’ footsteps
in law enforcement with the Riverside
County Sheriff’s Department.
At Club 33, 13 glasses of champagne
were lined up on the service counter on
the day of the Lopez family’s visit as a
tribute to all 13 service members lost last
month.
“Disneyland is all about celebration
and happiness, so it’s not often that we
see or hear this in our work,” said Club
33 General Manager Luke Stedman. “But
in this divisive world, when we can all
come together and support something so
meaningful, it’s a reminder of how much
pride our cast can take in what this place
means to people.”
one of the four main elements. The spa’s
music, from a Native American singer,
was selected to pay homage to indig-
enous musical stylings. In the center of
the spa is the Tenaya Stone itself: a stone
gifted from the descendants of Chief
Tenaya.
Dawn hopes that cast members and
Guests feel a connection to the spa’s
storyline and is proud of her role in
shaping its authenticity. “No matter what
the product is, I think we have a huge
responsibility to tell stories thoughtfully
and authentically because we have the
ability to shape peoples’ perceptions
of different cultures,” Dawn said. “In
my Native community, one of the most
respectful things you can say to someone
is ‘you did it in a good way.’ It means you
did it with a pure heart and the right in-
tentions and approached it with respect.
That’s the best compliment you can give,
and I want Disney to continue to do
things in a good way.”

COOL DISNEY JOBS

CELEBRATING THE COLORS OF THE

WORLD THROUGH MANNEQUIN MAGIC
TINA BRENNAN
Role: Director, Visual
Merchandising
Years with company: 24
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA

Tina Brennan, director, visual merchan-
dising, whose team creates the look and
feel inside merchandising locations at
Disney Parks, Experiences and Prod-
ucts, shares her insights about newly
introduced mannequins with different
skin tones at the World of Disney store
at Downtown Disney District.
Q. Can you tell us a little more about
your role?
A. Our goal in visual merchandising is to
bring our product stories to life for our
guests and our cast members. For ex-
ample, experiential retail is the anima-
tion that helps engage the guests while
they’re shopping at World of Disney.
So we look for ways to do that through
our windows [and] in the interiors. We
want our guests and cast members to
experience that same magical moment
while shopping as they do anywhere
else in our parks. We try to stay aware of
what’s going on outside of retail to help
inform our strategies. We also spend a
lot of time doing market research and
understanding what’s new in our indus-
try for our guests and cast members to
experience.
Q. What inspired the diverse and
inclusive mannequins at World of
Disney?
A. Mannequins and visual elements are
all about trying to message to guests so
they can see themselves in the product
we’re displaying. We knew we had an
opportunity to make sure they feel wel-
come and are able to see themselves.
Q. Can you tell us about the
process for introducing skin tone
mannequins?
A. We worked with our mannequin
vendor and explored suggested skin
tones used industry-wide and took
them back to our partners — including
our diversity and inclusion team, as well
as members of our Business Employee
Resource Groups (BERGs) — and got
feedback. Our product team also did a
skin tone match with our princesses to
explore how we are representing our
product in the marketplace based on
our princess franchise. It was all about
the authenticity of knowing that the
colors of the world can be any of these
tones and more.
Q. Why are these mannequins so
important?
A. We want to make sure our guests and
cast members see themselves in the
world they live in; that’s the important
takeaway.
Q. How have guests reacted to the
mannequins?
A. There has been overwhelming sup-
port. I’ve had people cry because they
are so thankful. We couldn’t be more
excited to share this approach with the
world, and the spirit in which people
have responded has been so motivating
to our team.
Q. Are there plans to introduce more
inclusive and diverse mannequins?
A. Several years ago, we introduced
mannequins with different body shapes
and sizes and we are looking to include
even more soon. As part of these efforts,
we will reflect expanded points of view
like gender neutrality and modesty
dressing that features diverse ethnici-
ties. We are also working with our acces-
sibility BERG to authentically represent
mannequins using power chairs and
and cochlear implants. This has been a
labor of love for our team, and we are so
excited about the possibilities of what
this could mean for our guests.

SPOOKY MAGIC FOR CAST MEMBERS

By Matt Nixon
Disneyland Resort cast members were
treated to a special “snEEK peek” of
Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween
Party, exploring eight treat trails featur-
ing Disney Villains — including the
infamous bag of bugs himself — and en-
joying the Frightfully Fun Parade and Vil-
lains Grove. The sold-out, ticketed event
at Disney California Adventure park runs
on select nights through Oct. 31.
This year, the bash includes new trails
featuring Agatha Harkness from “Wan-
daVision” in Avengers Campus, Sid from
“Toy Story” at Pixar Pier and Cruella de
Vil at Hollywood Backlot.
“This event is very spooky — it’s magi-
cal,” said Tomorrowland Attractions cast
member Jenna Withers. “It’s a wonderful
time of the year!”
Cast members enjoyed performances
of “Mickey’s Trick & Treat,” a live show
with Mickey Mouse and friends, and the
Frightfully Fun Parade, featuring Jack
Skellington, Sally and everyone’s favorite
villains. For those brave souls ready for
a bewitching journey, Villains Grove
provided the opportunity to explore
the worlds of Disney Villains through a
transformed Redwood Creek Challenge
Trail.
“Villains Grove is definitely my fa-
vorite area,” said Colton Tracey, Tomor-
rowland Attractions. “I love the Alice in
Wonderland section with the roses that
light up and change colors.”

“I’m thankful I was given the chance to
apply for the scholarship,” said Emmari.
“And I’m relieved because I plan to go
to medical school and I know it can be
expensive.”
Allison Day Doniare was also proud
to be selected as recipient this year, join-
ing a list of inspiring students who have
been awarded college scholarships by
The Walt Disney Company Foundation
for almost 60 years. That list included
her older sister, Maria Sophia Donaire,
a past recipient of the Disney Scholars
award; she is currently studying bio-
chemistry at the University of California,
Irvine. “My parents and sister were so
happy that I accomplished something
like my sister did,” said Allison. She’ll be
attending the nursing program at Cali-
fornia State University, Fullerton, which
accepts just 40 applicants each year.
Allison’s mother, Pym Test Kitchen
Cashier Bernadette Donaire, immigrated
to the United States from the Philip-
pines and has always encouraged her
daughters to work hard to make their
dreams come true. “Disney is very good
to my family,” said Bernadette. “It’s like a

Central Bakery Tour Brings Back Sweet

Memories for Disneyland Resort President

INGREDIENTS
CRUST
• 4 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 10 tablespoons melted butter

CAKE
• 8 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese,
room temperature
• 1½ cups plus 2 additional tbsp. flour
• 2¾ cups plus 2 tbsp. sugar

Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock’s childhood was spent working in his
family’s bakery business, so he felt right at home during a tour of the Central Bak-
ery — where all of the resort’s sweets and treats are made — followed by a tasting
of his family’s famous cheesecake.
“We all put our hearts and souls into all the desserts we make, so it was an
honor to have him here to acknowledge our team and all we do,” Pastry Sous Chef
Christina Orejel said.
During his visit, Ken donned a Central Bakery costume — he was even gifted his
own personalized chef’s jacket — and got to experience the joy of pouring melted
chocolate onto a fresh batch of Choco-Smash Candy Bars, one of the hit menu
items at Avengers Campus. He also prepared his cheesecake recipe alongside cast
members, followed by a tasting of the finished product for the entire bakery cast.
“He did great in the kitchen — and I love that he has an interest in our products
and came with so many ideas,” said Executive Pastry Chef Jean-Marc Viallet. “So
many people come to the resort specifically for our Food and Beverage — which is
very rare for a theme park. And a lot of those items, like the Grey Stuff [Gateau], the
[Jack-Jack] Cookie Num Nums, the Mickey Macaron and so many others are from
the Central Bakery.” Chef Jean-Marc said even a lot of cast members don’t know
about the Central Bakery, which is located near the Mickey & Friends parking
structure and churns out thousands of sweet treats for the resort daily. “I have the
best team and the best job in the world.”
Ken said the bakery tour brought back fond memories of the years spent help-
ing out at his grandfather’s Bronx bakery near Yankee Stadium, where he assem-
bled cardboard boxes for a penny apiece. Later, when his family moved to Akron,
Ohio, and opened a restaurant and bakery business, they became known for their
éclair pastries and New York-style cheesecake.
“I had such a wonderful time visiting — it brought back so many special memo-
ries,” Ken said. “I owe a gigantic thank you to the Central Bakery cast members
who welcomed me as one of the family. It was a special treat that I will remember
always.”

RECALL
Reflections
on my
failed
candidacy
By Larry Elder
I want to thank the distribu-
tor of my articles, Creators Syn-
dicate, for allowing me to take
eight weeks off from writing my
weekly column so I could cam-
paign to recall and replace the
governor of California. I also
want to thank my readers for
their patience and willingness
to let me pursue that adventure.
The recall required 50% plus
one of the votes be cast in favor
of the recall. To replace required
only that the replacement can-
didate receive more votes than
any other candidate. Right now,
ballots are still being counted,
but the effort to recall Gov.
Gavin Newsom has failed.
On the ballot to recall the
governor were two questions.
Question one, do you want to
recall the governor? Question
two, who do you want to replace
him? For question No. 2, there
were over 40 names. I finished
first, by far, with more than 47%
of the replacement votes. My
closest competitor received 10%.
I entered the race late and
campaigned for nearly eight
weeks. One Republican rival, a
two-term mayor of San Diego,
campaigned a full year and got

raised more money than my Re-

with the exception of a multi-
millionaire who pretty much

As expected, the left-wing me-
dia were ruthless. A columnist
in the Los Angeles Times called
me “the Black face of white su-
premacy.” Only in America can a
Black person become president
or a White supremacist.
Had Newsom been recalled,
this would’ve been the second
time Californians voted to recall
their governor. But the electoral
landscape the first time this
happened in 2003, compared
with today, is very different.
Between 2003 and 2021 there
are 5% more registered Demo-
crats, 50% more registered inde-
pendents, who tend to vote for
Democrats, and a whopping 33%
fewer Republicans. To call an ef-
fort to recall a Democratic gov-
ernor an uphill battle is a mas-
sive understatement.

Editorial
Election memo
was absurd
and dangerous
It’s easy to view the aftermath of the No-
vember election as just a strange event
in the course of our solid democracy. The
courts repeatedly rejected President Donald
Trump’s baseless election-fraud claims, elec-
tion officials did their job and, despite the
January 6 Capitol riot, the nation inaugu-
rated a new president. The system held.
But new reports remind us
of how troubling those times
really were — and the de-
gree to which our election sys-
tem was in peril. “Peril” is in
fact the name of a new book
by Washington Post report-
ers Bob Woodward and Rob-
ert Costa.
According to one excerpt,
Vice President Mike Pence —
under pressure from Trump
to single-handedly reject the
results — repeatedly pressed
former Vice President Dan
Quayle, a fellow Republican
and Indianan, on whether
he had the power to do what
Trump was asking. “Mike,
you have no flexibility on this.
None. Zero. Forget it. Put it
away,” Quayle reportedly ad-
vised.
One can only imagine the
ensuing tumult had Pence
not followed that advice. The
book also reported on a two-
page memo, by Trump legal
adviser and former Chapman
University law professor John
Eastman, which detailed a
six-step scenario for overturn-
ing the election results. It’s
chilling, given Trump’s will-
ingness to follow that tem-
plate.
The 12th Amendment re-
quires that “the President of
the Senate shall, in the pres-
ence of the Senate and House
of Representatives, open all
the certificates and the votes
shall then be counted,” East-
man noted. But then he ar-
gued there is “very solid legal
authority and historical prece-
dent” for the vice president to
instead certify alternate elec-
tors — “and all the members
of Congress can do is watch.”
Essentially, Eastman called
for Pence to defer the certi-
fication of seven closely con-
tested states. Upon reading
results from Arizona, Pence

you other travelers
In late-pandemic America
and late-pandemic Europe, we
can go there, but they can’t
come here — even though the
delta variant of the corona-
virus is more prevalent here
than there.
For reasons of both com-
merce and culture and the
free exchange of both, that’s
wrong, and a Biden admin-
istration ruling last week to
once again welcome British,
European and other foreign
travelers to our shores is a wel-
come one.

hodge-podge of rules that al-

would announce “that he has
multiple slates of electors, and
so is going to defer decision
on that until finishing the
other states. ... At the end, he
announces that because of the
ongoing disputes in the seven
states, there are no electors
that can be deemed validly ap-
pointed in those states.”
Pence would then have de-
clared Trump the winner be-
cause he would have a ma-
jority from remaining states.
If Democrats objected be-
cause neither candidate re-
ceived the requisite 270 elec-
tors, Eastman proposed that
Pence could send the deci-
sion to states, where Republi-
cans control a majority of del-
egations. (No state submitted
alternate electors, but that’s
a detail of this outrageous
plan.)
This plan would have
twisted the Constitution to
effect a desired outcome. “It
would have been screwy for
the drafters and ratifiers of
the 12th Amendment to estab-
lish a system in which the vice
president exercises this kind
of power, and there is no ev-
idence in the text to suggest
that they did,” Ramesh Ponn-
uru noted in National Review.
Screwy is the least of it. If
the Trump argument is right,
the nation could dispense
with presidential elections
and let any sitting vice pres-
ident make the call. We pre-
fer the term “shameful,” given
that some of the president’s
supporters were willing to en-
danger 245 years of peaceful
transitions of power to keep
their man in the White House.
The news reminds us, how-
ever, of how close the nation
came to a constitutional cri-
sis. Just because the strat-
egy was boneheaded, doesn’t
mean it wasn’t dangerous.
travel restrictions were insti-
tuted in a completely different,
pre-vaccination time. The sev-
eral available viral vaccines,
now in wide use throughout
the Western world, are highly
effective at both preventing in-
fection with deadly COVID-19
and preventing in almost all
cases those who do get in-
fected from having serious
symptoms, being hospitalized
— or dying.
But that was the case four
or so months ago, by which
time a majority of Americans
and Europeans had been vac-
cinated. Even during the cur-
rent time of delta, the vastly
increased safety holds true.
Anyone who has ventured
out to travel this summer and
early fall knows that the air-
lines — Amtrak trains and
public transit, too — are do-
ing an excellent job of enforc-
ing mask restrictions. While
there has been pushback by
anti-vax, anti-mask or inebri-
ated travelers, such incidents
are becoming rarer. Travel-
ers, cooped up for over a year,
are grateful to be on the move
once again, and are uncom-
plaining about the minor in-
conveniences for the sake of
their and others’ health.

Rent control is

Rent control in Santa Ana

concern is that the city has
targeted old buildings. Nor-

buildings in Santa Ana are
aproaching the end of their
useful life. The building sys-

as electrical, plumbing, heat-

Should California

No, the recall system is
working just fine. However,
due to how close the recent re-

MICHAEL RAMIREZ — CREATORS SYNDICATE
ing various election processes
to favor their party to avoid
even the possibility of losing
an election. Election param-
eters should make the pro-
cess as simple, easy and un-
biased as possible. However,
the Democrats want to “do
whatever they can” to ensure
that future election processes
like a recall are weighted in
their favor. Democratic phi-
losophy: If there is even a
chance you won’t win an elec-
tion, change the rules. .
— Scott Irwin, Fullerton
Thoughts on the recall
and recall process
In a state so heavily dom-
inated by one party (Demo-
crats), the use of a recall is vi-
tal to providing some form of
checks and balances.
That having been said, 12%
of voters is far too low of a
threshold to begin a process
that can cost hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars.
A 25% threshold with 100
days to gather the signatures
would make more sense.
As for question #2, giv-
ing voters a hundred choices
didn’t increase Angelynne’s
chances of becoming the next
California Governor. Califor-
nians are reasonable and seri-
ous voters.
Newsom wasn’t put on a re-
call ballot because a “small
number of voters simply don’t
care for him.
Newsom had a voluminous
list of failures that rightly
qualified him for ouster.
Even many Democrats told
the press that he was terrible,
but were afraid of anyone not
a Democrat to replace him.

Irvine
ours directly. In 1994 or 2003,
China’s economy was not large
enough for a recession there to
affect ours much. Now it is.
The Wall Street Journal re-
ported on September 21, “Chi-
na’s economic model has run out
of road, and the process of put-
ting it on a new track is likely to
bring more Evergrande-like mis-
takes.”
And U.S. inflation now is
reaching 1970s levels. The 1970s
inflation ended when Fed Chair-
man Paul Volcker increased in-
terest rates to 13%. That sparked
a really bad recession that in
1980 brought Ronald Reagan
into the White House and the
first Republican control of the
United States Senate in three de-
cades.
The message to California Re-
publicans should be: Get pre-
pared. The GOP actually does
have some good planks: Reform-
ing an education system that
slights Latino and Black chil-
dren. Cutting taxes and reg-
ulations to improve the coun-
try’s worst business climate and
most expensive housing market.
Fixing an electricity grid that
sparks wildfires.
It took Ronald Reagan three
tries to reach the White House,
losing in 1968 and 1976. By 1980,
the times were right. He was
ready. So was the Republican
Party. So was the country.

HOUSING POD ACT

Reforming CEQA would Protecting

do more good than SB9
By Matt Fleming
I never thought I’d be able to
buy a house.
Between the cost of living
in the Washington, D.C. area,
where I grew up, and Cali-
fornia, my home for the past
seven years or so, surging home
prices and a salary that just
couldn’t keep up, I’d rent for-
ever.
But then COVID happened,
my circumstances changed,
and I was able to buy a modest
home in the ‘burbs.
Homeownership is a never-
ending list of things to do and
pay for, but it’s worth it -- the
only hiccup has been a neigh-
bor raising a rooster in the
backyard (roosters apparently
make noise all day long… who
knew?)
Overall, I love my house and
neighborhood and am fine be-
ing married to this mortgage
for the next 30 years, but re-
cently-passed legislation has
me concerned that I might have
bought too soon.
Gov. Gavin Newsom just
signed SB 9, which could ul-
timately make life harder for
some homeowners while do-
ing little to alleviate the hous-
ing crisis.
The law gives property own-
ers the right to subdivide their
properties and build up to as
many as four units on a prop-
erty.
The libertarian in me loves
the idea of expanding prop-
erty rights and allowing own-
ers to do what they want on
their property. But the home-
owner in me recognizes that in
a community, there is often ten-
sion between my rights and the
rights of others as the two in-
tersect.
For example: I don’t know
what kind of person thinks
it’s fine to have a rooster cock-
a-doodle-doing all day and
throughout the night in a sub-
urban neighborhood, but ap-
parently at least one such per-
son exists with whom I share a
back fence.
While my neighbor should
have the right to have a pet of
his or her choosing, the reason
the county prohibits rooster
ownership in neighborhoods
like mine is because they make
noise constantly.
In other words, the way my
neighbor was exercising his or
her property rights by owning
a rooster greatly affected the
quality of life for me and my
DROUGHT
“CEQA remains unreformed, the housing crisis is as bad as ever, and we’re left with this measly SB
9that will undoubtedly erode the quality of life for a few unsuspecting homeowners and all so that
Sacramento lawmakers can pretend they are doing something,” argues Matt Fleming.
other neighbors.
As such, it would affect me
if the my neighbors on the left
and right of my house were to
both all of a sudden add three
units to their properties, taking
all the street parking, making
the street more congested and
likely making it louder, which
would affect the resale value of
my home.
SB 9 has no requirements
for parking, and it bypasses lo-
cal approval so that cities and
counties are relatively power-
less. Decisions about my neigh-
borhood (or any neighborhood,
for that matter) are better left
to local governments, not out-
of-touch lawmakers in Sacra-
mento.
While this bill could create
millions of new housing units,
it won’t because making sub-
dividing lots and adding units
doesn’t make sense for most
people. The San Francisco
Chronicle reported that a study
of SB 9 found that only around
700,000 properties statewide
were found to be “market-fea-
sible.”
Again, most people probably
won’t do this, but some will and
I pray none on my street. Is that
selfish? Maybe, but I also just
made a 30-year commitment to
my home, I think I’m allowed
to be a little concerned that my
street could be upended by law-
makers making abstract deci-
sions from the Capitol.
NIMBYism (Not In My Back-
Yard) is a bad word until it’s
your backyard.
The effect SB 9 will have on
the housing crisis will be nom-
inal, which means it’s basically
a waste of time. Estimates vary,
but the state is around 2.5 mil-
lion or so housing units short of
the current demand and needs
to build at least 180,000 each
year just to keep up with popu-
lation growth. And the state is
nowhere near that level of pro-
duction.
How SB 9 will affect the
Bay Area is a good case study.
The Chronicle reported that
San Francisco, a place that de-
sires density and is already
designed for it, would have
the least amount of SB 9 op-
portunities in the Bay Area,
while Marin, Napa and So-
noma Counties would have
the most.
Driving the development
further away from job cen-
ters into places where four-
plex properties are less desir-
able will make traffic worse,
increase sprawl and have little
effect on the housing crisis.
Why are we doing this
again?
Lawmakers are scared to re-
form the California Environ-
mental Quality Act, because
it’s beloved by special inter-
ests who use it to block devel-
opment.
CEQA defenders will argue
it does not stand in the way of
development, but experts (and
results) argue otherwise. For-
mer Gov. Jerry Brown said it
best when he said reforming
CEQA was “the Lord’s work.”
ISTOCKPHOTO
But the good news is that
you don’t have to take my word
or Brown’s word for it; take
the word of the lawmakers
who routinely waive CEQA, or
“streamline” it, in order to en-
sure development happens.
SB 9 has a CEQA loophole.
Affordable housing projects do
too. And so did the develop-
ment of the arenas where the
Sacramento Kings play, the
Golden State Warriors, and
so on. By consistently waiv-
ing or streamlining CEQA pro-
visions on must-pass projects,
lawmakers admit that CEQA
stands in the way.
But CEQA remains unre-
formed, the housing crisis is as
bad as ever, and we’re left with
this measly SB 9 that will un-
doubtedly erode the quality
of life for a few unsuspecting
homeowners and all so that
Sacramento lawmakers can
pretend they are doing some-
thing.
Advocates have said SB 9 is
the “end of single-family zon-
ing” as a good thing. But sin-
gle-family zoning is not the
problem. My street is not the
problem.
The only problem is lawmak-
ers’ unwillingness to tackle the
issue everyone knows is the is-
sue. Reform CEQA and leave
my street alone.

Which is so weird. Because
most everyone here in my neigh-

ter a star run as a federal pros-
ecutor for which he got legally
famous by successfully prosecut-
ing an FBI agent who had been
seduced by a Russian spy.
My congressman nailed the
first FBI agent to ever be con-

And it’s been all good since.
First, he’s a total Boy Scout, and
second, he’s funny and easygo-

entirely predictable. The
crackdown on pain pills
drove nonmedical users
toward black-market sub-
stitutes, replacing legally
manufactured and reliably
dosed products with drugs
of unknown provenance
and composition.
While that was happen-
ing, illicit fentanyl became
increasingly common as a
heroin booster or replace-
ment, making potency
even more variable and
unpredictable. In 2020, ac-
cording to the CDC’s pro-
jections, “synthetic opioids
other than methadone” —
the category that includes
fentanyl and its analogs
— were involved in 83% of
opioid-related deaths, up
from 14% in 2010.
Nowadays, fentanyl is
showing up in black-mar-
ket pills sold as hydroco-
done or oxycodone and
even in stimulants such as
cocaine and methamphet-
amine. Its proliferation is
a response to the very sup-
ply control measures that
were supposed to reduce
drug-related deaths.
To the extent that the
government succeeds in
exerting pressure on the
supply of illegal intoxi-
cants, it encourages traf-
fickers to distribute more
potent drugs, which are
easier to conceal and
smuggle. Since fentanyl is
far more potent than her-
oin, a package weighing
less than an ounce can re-
place one that weighs a
couple of pounds.
Synthesizing opioids
is also a less vulnerable
and much cheaper process
than production that re-
lies on poppy crops. RAND
Corporation researchers
estimated that heroin is at
least 100 times more ex-
pensive to produce than
fentanyl, adjusting for po-
tency.
Black-market drugs
were already iffy because
of prohibition; the prohi-
bition-driven rise of fen-
tanyl has made them even
more of a crapshoot. And
these are the substitutes
that nonmedical opioid us-
ers resorted to after drug
warriors succeeded in re-
ducing the supply of pain
pills.
That policy also has
hurt bona fide patients
by depriving them of the
medication they need to
make their lives bear-
able. In July, the American
Medical Association again
urged the CDC to revise its
opioid-prescribing advice,
which has been widely in-
terpreted as imposing
hard caps on daily doses.
“Patients with pain con-
tinue to suffer from the
undertreatment of pain
and the stigma of hav-
ing pain,” AMA Board
of Trustees Chair Bobby
Mukkamala wrote. “This
is a direct result of the ar-
bitrary thresholds on dose
and quantity contained in
the 2016 CDC Guideline.”
Although “physicians
have reduced opioid pre-
scribing by more than 44%
since 2012,” Mukkamala
noted, “the drug over-
dose epidemic has gotten
worse.” The government
mistakenly assumed that
the availability of particu-
lar intoxicants was caus-
ing drug-related deaths,
which is clearly not true
in light of the social, eco-
nomic and psychologi-
cal factors that plausibly
explain last year’s surge,
such as financial insecu-
rity, emotional stress, iso-
lation and disengagement
from meaningful activi-
ties.
The COVID-19 pan-

Special counsel John Dur-

worked for Hillary Clinton’s
2016 campaign, Michael Suss-

entire “Trump-
Russia” narrative to be a com-

dirty trick.
Sussman was a partner in
the Perkins Coie law firm,
which represented the Hill-
ary Clinton campaign and the
Democratic National Commit-
tee. He played a key role in
pushing out a false narrative
in a manner engineered to un-
leash federal agencies and the
national press against Don-

that the fully fabricated story
would dominate the news un-
til at least half the country was
convinced that the New York
real estate mogul had secret
and dangerous ties to Russia.
The person responsible for
the plan was Hillary Clinton,
and if you have a sense of hu-

did this is in the law firm’s bill-

If you don’t have a long

CALIFORNIA
The recall was actually a bargain
By Joe Mathews
It’s hard to think of a better
bargain in our high-cost state
than the recall election. At an
estimated cost of $276 million
— $7 per Californian — our
state got a months-long dem-
ocratic exercise that inspired
public investments, improved
the governor’s performance
and may even save lives.
Maddeningly, Californians
(some of whom call themselves
Democrats) persist in calling
this democratic triumph an ex-
pensive waste of money. If they
don’t want to look like hypo-
crites, they should stop com-
plaining, reconsider this elec-
tion’s math, and reflect more
deeply on the price of democ-
racy.
Let’s start with the number:
$276 million is almost nothing
in a state California’s size. That
figure represents less than 1%
of the current budget surplus,
and about one-tenth of 1% of
the overall state budget. To put
it in another context, the elec-
tion cost $100 million less than
the Dodgers are paying their
right-fielder.
Still, media commenta-
tors claim, falsely, that the re-
call took $300 million away
from schools or homelessness.
The truth is the exact oppo-
site. The recall, and the polit-
ical pressure it put on Demo-
crats, helped increase funding
for core government services
to historic heights.
And if legislators had an-
other $300 million, they likely
would blow it on their own do-
nors. That’s precisely what
happened in July, when the
state wasted $330 million by

lous billing records at the Per-
kins Coie law firm documented
hours billed to the Clinton
campaign for, among other
things, a meeting with the FBI
at which Sussman asserted
that he was not represent-
ing any client. He said he was
merely a citizen who wanted
to inform law enforcement of
non-public records of internet
traffic showing a connection
between a computer linked to
the Trump Organization and
Russia-based Alfa Bank.
The information was false.
The indictment spells out the
process by which a tech exec-
utive with access to non-pub-
lic records of internet traffic
pressured researchers to write
false reports about links that
didn’t really exist. The exec-
utive was hoping for a job in
Hillary Clinton’s administra-
tion. The researchers were un-
willing to cross the high-level
tech executive.
Sussman’s detailed bill-
ing records also show that he
charged the Clinton campaign
for meetings with journalists,
at which he leaked that the FBI
was investigating the Trump
Organization for links to Rus-
sia.

the FBI’s top lawyer, James

Newsom’s
spin on
jobless
claimsy
There are days when those of
us who follow the news feel as
though we’re living in a paral-
lel universe. What else could ex-
plain the wildly divergent news
stories about California’s em-
ployment figures?
On September 17th, the state’s
July unemployment figures were
released and the reaction from
Gov. Gavin Newsom was a lot
of positive spin. Here is what
his press office released: “Cali-
fornia continues to lead the na-
tion’s economic
recovery, creat-
ing 44 percent of
the nation’s new
jobs in August
and ranking third
in the nation in
Jon rate of job growth
Coupal this year. These
Columnist 104,300 new jobs,
the fifth time this
year of six-figure job growth,
represent new paychecks for
Californians and new employees
on payroll for businesses.”
First, it is important to note
that, while the figures are cor-
rect, the premise is not. Yes, the
44% new job creation is true,
but that hardly means that Cal-
ifornia is “leading the nation’s
economic recovery.”
This rose-colored view of Cal-
ifornia’s economic recovery is
proof of the old adage that there
are three kinds of lies: Lies,
damn lies, and statistics. What
is lacking in this release is both
context and perspective.
For those desiring a no-spin
perspective of California’s true
state of unemployment and
other economic metrics, the Cal-
ifornia Center for Jobs and the
Economy (CCJE) produces com-
prehensive analysis that is far
more revealing than politically
driven press releases.
As if responding directly to
the governor’s statement, CCJE
prefaces its report on the July
figures with this: “While both
the jobs and employment num-
bers have been better in recent
months, they are not yet at lev-
els that would see quick recov-
ery in the state economy.”
This report from the paral-
lel universe known as “reality”
points out what we all know
— we’re slowly going up from
very far down. “[T]he state has
moved off the initial bounce
from the depths of the down-
turn,” the CCJE continues. “The
pace in recent months has been
positive, but that comes from
looking at the numbers in isola-
tion, not what they mean to the
overall health of the California
economy and its workers. Just
continuing at the rates experi-
enced over the past 3 months
would not return nonfarm jobs
to pre-COVID trend levels un-
til mid-2023. The slower rate be-
ing experienced for employment
would take an additional year.”
The governor’s press release
fails to note the most impor-
tant metric of all, overall unem-
ployment. There, California still
has the 2nd highest unemploy-
ment rate in the nation. And in
even more troubling news, data
on initial jobless claims just re-
leased shows that, during the
week of September 18, claims in
California spiked 46.9% and ac-
counted for half the 15.2% rise
seen in the national total.
The governor’s office acknowl-
edges while “more work” needs
to be done to regain the jobs lost
to the pandemic, the figures re-
veal “promising progress for
California’s economic recovery.”
Newsom’s claim of “promising
progress” is like the Baltimore
Orioles laying claim to “prom-
ising progress” because they’ve
only lost 104 games so far this
season.
In addition to its useful and
understandable reports on un-
employment in California, CCJE
also issues other reports focused
on energy costs and housing is-
sues, especially where California
stands relative to other states.
The data are not encouraging.
CCJE’s employment report has
a special section called “Cali-
former,” which consists of a list
of the latest companies to move
out of California entirely or
move significant parts of their
operations to other states.
Perhaps it is this part of the
report that explains all the other
dismal data. While Newsom fid-
dles with statistics, his policies
are burning California jobs.

that ended Sept. 18, an increase of 24,200
from the previous week, the U.S. Labor De-
partment reported Thursday.
The weekly jobless claims were the high-
est such first-time filings have reached
since the week ending April 24 — nearly
five months ago — when jobless claims to-
taled 78,600.
The increase of 24,200 claims is the larg-
est one-week increase since April 3, when
jobless filings jumped by 39,100 during the
seven-day stretch.
Nationwide, workers filed 351,000 ini-
tial claims for unemployment last week, an
increase of 16,000 from the 335,000 that
workers filed the prior week, the Labor De-
partment reported.
In a research report, Contingent Macro
Advisors concluded that the recent jump
in applications for unemployment benefits
— especially so last week in California and
Virginia — likely reflected a technical prob-
lem in processing the claims: “For now, the
jump in claims in the last two weeks is not
yet alarming but it certainly bears close
watching in the coming weeks.”
Hiring nationwide, which has averaged
more than 585,000 jobs a month this year,
slowed to just 235,000 in August as the
delta variant disrupted the recovery. Res-
taurants and bars cut nearly 42,000 jobs
last month as COVID-19 cases picked up.
Household wealth surges along
with home prices in the U.S.
U.S. household net worth surged to
a fresh record in the second quarter as
Americans enjoyed an ebullient stock
market and the largest-ever increase in
the value of their real estate holdings.
Household net worth increased by
$5.8 trillion, or 4.3%, to $141.7 trillion in
the second quarter, a Federal Reserve re-
port out Thursday showed. The advance

and low borrowing costs have supported
a flurry of homebuying — and ultimately
home price appreciation. The figures
highlight how the massive support pro-
vided by the government and the Fed has
bolstered Americans’ wealth.
Equity shares as a percent of total
household assets rose in the second quar-
ter to almost 29.5%, up from 25.6% in
2019, the Fed’s report showed.
But not everyone is benefiting from
those wealth gains. A large share of
Americans are not invested in the stock
market, and for many renters, the sharp
rise in housing prices pushed the reality
of owning a home further out of reach.
Some retail workers getting more
hours during holiday season
Target is planning less seasonal hiring
than last year while relying more on its
existing workforce amid the tight labor
market.
The retailer will offer current employ-
ees 5 million more hours during the hol-
iday shopping rush, implying a boost to
total paychecks of more than $75 million.
The goal for seasonal hires is 100,000, Tar-
get said in a statement Thursday. That’s
down from 130,000 last year.
Target’s greater dependence on current
employees underscores the labor hurdles
facing U.S. companies as they struggle to
attract and retain workers. On average,
hourly Target employees are already work-
ing nearly 15% more hours than they were
a year ago, the Minneapolis-based retailer
said.
“We are offering more hours to team
members who want them,” Melissa Kre-
mer, the company’s chief human resources
officer, said in the statement. “We have
worked to provide our team members
with more consistent schedules, which
means more consistent paychecks and a
more consistent way to manage their life.”
Target’s plan contrasts with that of a
key package delivery partner, FedEx Corp.,
which is aiming to increase seasonal hir-
ing to 90,000 workers from 70,000 last
year. United Parcel Service Inc. expects no
change to its seasonal hiring goal, which
will again be about 100,000.

it’s time because many com-
panies can’t afford the leave
without a federal tax credit
that offsets their costs,
which also is expiring. It’s
also a relief for some busi-
ness owners struggling to
find workers.
But even though Califor-
nia currently reports the
lowest COVID-19 case rate
in the country, some worker
advocates say it’s too soon.
The return of students

could be “a crisis for many
working families,” said Ka-
tie Waters-Smith, political
organizing director for the
California Work & Family
Coalition.
“Parents can’t leave small
children at home, so paid
sick leave is even more im-
portant than usual on two
fronts — making sure par-
ents don’t feel like they
have to send sick children
to school and making sure
that parents can stay home
when their children are sent
home because of exposure
without losing their income
or pay,” Waters-Smith said.
Alex Huth, whose son
Leo, 8, had to stay home
from a summer day camp
after a COVID-19 exposure,
said being able to take time
off was a big help, with lim-
ited child care options

Leo’s after-school child
care program is at his
school, so if there’s a class-
room exposure, the only
option is to take more time
off work. Huth said even
for parents working from
home, child care can be dif-
ficult to balance.
“We’re there, but we’re

What to do if you have a bad adviser
By Patti Cotton
What happens when
you find that the adviser
you selected is wrong for
you?
If you discover that the
professional you have en-
gaged is not what you ex-
pected, don’t delay in re-
directing your efforts.
This is your future — you
should feel confident and
comfortable that it’s be-
ing managed well and
the relationship is a pos-
itive and supportive one
as you move through the
process.
Here are signs you may
want to consider replacing
your current adviser:
• You get the feeling
that you are being treated
as “one size fits all.” If
you begin to feel that ev-
ery question you have has
a quick template answer
or form, this can send the
signal that your adviser ei-
ther isn’t listening well to
you or doesn’t know how
to accommodate your situ-
ation. In either case, this is
not acceptable.
• You are receiving
signs that your adviser is
not as experienced as you
had thought. If, in your
conversations and ex-
changes with your adviser,
you notice that he needs to
confer with colleagues fre-
quently before respond-
ing to questions or doesn’t
readily know where or
how to access the infor-
mation you need in order
to manage your account
or situation, this can cer-
tainly erode confidence.
• You feel your vision
and goals for your future
are discounted. Do you
feel as though your adviser
is not considering these
or is dismissive of them
in your conversations and
transactions? If you are re-
ceiving signals that your
FINANCE
Why our tax codes so blatantly favor the rich
By Jesse Drucker
and Danny Hakim
The New York Times
For six years, Audrey El-
lis and Adam Feuerstein
worked together at PwC,
the giant accounting firm,
helping the world’s biggest
companies avoid taxes.
In mid-2018, one of
Feuerstein’s clients, an in-
fluential association of real
estate companies, was try-
ing to convince government
officials that its members
should qualify for a new
federal tax break. Feuer-
stein knew just the person
to turn to for help. Ellis had
recently joined the Trea-
sury Department, and she
was drafting the rules for
this very deduction.
That summer, Ellis met
with Feuerstein and his cli-
ent’s lobbyists. The next
week, the Treasury granted
their wish a decision poten-
tially worth billions of dol-
lars to PwC’s clients.
About a year later, Ellis
returned to PwC, where she
was immediately promoted
to partner. She and Feuer-
stein now work together ad-
vising large companies on
how to exploit wrinkles in
the tax regulations that El-
lis helped write.
Ellis’ case detailed in
public records and by peo-
ple with direct knowledge
of her work at the Treasury
and at PwC is no outlier.
The largest U.S. account-
ing firms have perfected a
remarkably effective be-
hind-the-scenes system
to promote their interests
in Washington. Their tax
lawyers take senior jobs at
the Treasury Department,
where they write policies
that are frequently favor-
able to their former corpo-
rate clients, often with the
expectation that they soon
will return to their old em-
ployers. The companies wel-
come them back with loft-
ier titles and higher pay, ac-
cording to public records
reviewed by The New York
Times and interviews with

ment and industry officials.

After lobbying by PwC, a
former PwC partner in Don-
ald Trump’s Treasury De-
partment helped write reg-
ulations that let large mul-
tinational companies avoid
tens of billions of dollars
in taxes; he then returned
to PwC. A senior executive
at another major account-
ing firm, RSM, took a top
job at Treasury, where his
office expanded a tax break
in ways sought by RSM; he
then returned to the firm.
Even some former in-
dustry veterans said they
viewed the rapid back-
and-forth arrangements
as a big part of the rea-
son that tax policy had be-
come so skewed in favor of
the wealthy at the expense
of just about everyone else.
President Joe Biden and
congressional Democrats
now are seeking to over-
haul parts of the tax code
that overwhelmingly ben-
efit the richest Americans.
“The accounting firms
have a desire to get in favor-
able rules for their clients,”
said Michael Hamersley, a
former tax lawyer at EY and
KPMG. “And the person in
the government has a desire
to grant their wish because
they know they will be re-
warded when they get out.”
The so-called revolving
door, in which people cy-
cle between the public and
private sectors, is nothing
new. But the ability of the
world’s largest accounting
companies to embed their
top lawyers inside the gov-
ernment’s most important
tax policy jobs largely has
escaped public scrutiny.
In the last four presi-
dential administrations,
there were at least 35 in-
stances of round trips from
big accounting companies
through Treasury’s tax pol-
icy office, along with the
IRS and the Congressional
Joint Committee on Taxa-
tion, and back to the same

In at least 16 of those
cases, the officials were pro-
moted to partner when they
rejoined their old account-
ing companies, who often
double the pay of employ-
ees upon their return from
their government sojourns.
Some partners end up earn-
ing over $1 million a year.
Federal rules prohibit
government officials from
working on many matters
in which they have finan-
cial interests, like having an
unwritten agreement to re-
turn to their prior company.
The purpose of the rules is
to avoid having officials be-
holden to private parties in-
stead of working on behalf
of the public, although it is
hard to prove the existence
of such financial entangle-
ments.
“Lawyers who come from
the private sector need to
learn who their new client
is, and it’s not their former
clients; it’s the American
public,” said Stephen Shay, a
retired tax partner at Ropes
& Gray who served in the
Treasury during the Ronald
Reagan and Barack Obama
administrations. “A certain
percentage of people never

Going from an account-
ing company into the Trea-
sury means taking a big pay
cut. But lawyers know they
are likely to be rewarded
with significantly higher
pay when they rejoin their
old company.
Eric Sloan, a former long-
time tax lawyer at Deloitte,
said he used to spell this
out to young Deloitte law-
yers to encourage them to
do stints at the Treasury
Department.
“Generally, lawyers stay
in those positions for two
to three years, after which
they frequently return to
the firms from which they
came,” said Sloan, who is
now co-chair of the tax
practice at the law firm Gib-
son, Dunn & Crutcher. The
government experiences
“allow them to command
higher compensation upon
their return to the private
sector.”
Sloan and some other in-
dustry officials said they
did not see anything wrong
with this practice because
the lawyers brought exper-
tise to government.

fer to work a little differ-
ently, as long as this fits
within the best guidelines
of what your adviser can
do for you.
• Before you leap, com-
municate. Before making
the transition to a new ad-
viser, consider doing your
adviser and yourself a
huge favor: Have a critical
conversation to share why
you have decided to work
with someone else. This is
uncomfortable for many
people, and some prefer to
have their newly selected
adviser reach out on their
behalf to request anything
pertinent and appropriate
such as is needed for ac-
count transfers or other
relevant information. But
if you choose to do so, you
will be doing this adviser
a favor (and perhaps learn
something, yourself). It is
helpful to receive feedback
that can improve the way
that we serve others.

put. Think about what

Before joining the gov-

history in the accounting
industry. He spent 28 years
at EY, rising to national tax
director during the period
when the company mar-

leading to a $123 million
settlement with the Justice
Department. (Kautter has
said he was not directly in-
volved in creating shelters,
although he has noted that
“I wish I had done things
differently.”)

A Laguna Beach home
owned by the same family for
47 years is for sale at nearly
$20 million.
Tucked in guard-gated Ir-
vine Cove, the 4,524-square-
foot legacy estate has four
bedrooms, five bathrooms
and floor-to-ceiling glass
walls.
T hough other proper-
ties separate it from the
bluff side, the home boasts
ocean views from the ele-

where it has stood since
1965.
That view abounds from
the step-down formal liv-

fireplace, as well as from the
dining room and the primary
suite.

had been forced out of her job at
LoanDepot for refusing to break

“I reported this to everyone I

Superior Court in Orange County,

risky loans, some of which, the
suit said, were intentionally ex-

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BUYING AND SELLING

Time to come clean on readers’ concerns Red tape can

As one Orange County Reg-
ister columnist once wrote,
“They’re only opinions, but
they’re all mine!” Today, I
purge my inbox
for another edi-
tion of a random
commercial real
estate thoughts.
I find the occa-
sional purge ca-
thartic. So here
it goes.
• Gender re-
veal. Some of
you may have
noticed my more frequent use
of “she” when describing the
gender of property owners or
tenants. Yes, one of my readers
scolded me. I realized I had
erred and thus the morph. So,
sorry if I offended.
• Insomnia. My recent col-
umn on the top problem I hear
voiced by business owners — a
lack of skilled workers — met
with some commentary. Spe-
cifically, my reference to our
“subsidy” for those without
work. The fact remains: Un-
employment is rampant and
we’ve done a poor job training
our youth in the jobs that ex-
ist, specifically the trades.
Electricians, carpenters,
structural steel erectors, con-
crete finishers, roofers all
crowd any construction site.
These craftsmen create the
concrete caissons commercial
real estate agents are tasked
to fill. Unfortunately, there’s a
huge yawn with those trained
in more white-collar arenas,
especially over a certain age.
However, I don’t see these ca-
pable gray hairs as candidates
to build structures.
HOA HOMEFRONT
Everyone has an opinion but few can really say where real estate is heading in this pandemic year with
a new administration in Washington, D.C.
• Frothy or calm. Folks ask,
“How’s the market?” I respond,
“It depends.”
If your specialty is indus-
trial — manufacturing and lo-
gistics properties and you rep-
resent owners — you are an
order taker. You simply man-
age the flood of activity sur-
rounding your offering and
choose from a number of tak-
ers.
Conversely, counseling ten-
ants or buyers often fills
the day filled with endless
searches to locate an availabil-
ity and setting expectations
when one is uncovered. The
rules pursuing an off-market
offering change. Owner moti-
vation is not as keen. Brokers
who market suites of offices
must deal with systemic un-
certainty. Questions such as —
“how much space do we actu-
ally need and when” are board
room topics.
• Coming downturn. “When
will the music stop” columns
always garner some inter-
est. Inflation is rampant, sup-
ply chains disrupted, short-
ages of everything occurring
and national debt levels are
rising, yet we continue to tor-
pedo previously high sale and
lease comps. These days we
are forced to price offerings as
TBD — a hedge against leaving
dollars on the dais.
• Finally, what will the bal-
ance of 2021 bring? Many say
it will be more of the same.
Some are wary and see the
amount of government spend-
ing massing on the horizon
and are preparing for a trove
of tax law changes.
After all, we must repay
the debt somehow, right? Are
the tax strategies such as car-
ried interest, tax-deferred ex-
changes, and long-term cap-
ital gains — which play into
commercial real estate activity
— in jeopardy? Many believe
so. Others realize the mas-
sive lobby the real estate busi-
ness leverages and are secure.
Hopefully, any change will not
be retroactive.

tarnish the
joy of buying
a house
Many transactions we encounter
are fraught with opportunity for mis-
understanding.
It’s like Christmas morning when
you unwrap a box taller
than you, only to dis-
cover the four “C” bat-
teries needed to oper-
ate your shiny, bright
toy are not included.
Your desire for imme-
diate gratification is
dashed to pieces on the
living room floor.
So it can be when
you buy a home.
Instead of rush-
ing over and setting up your new life
in your new home, you first encoun-
ter a stack of reports and disclosures
that act as a giant buzzkill. There are
more than 89 pages of documents
typically required in a residential
transaction.
But there’s a reason. The paper-
work is designed to prevent misun-
derstandings and the subsequent ret-
ribution on what is, in fact, a major
financial transaction. Misunder-
standings might range from missed
expectations and disappointments to
lawsuits with significant monetary
implications.
Oh sure, I’ve heard stories how
purchase contracts back in the good
old days were just two pages long.
But over the years, buyers and sellers
discovered misunderstandings that
those two pages did not cover, lead-
ing to mediation, arbitration, litiga-
tion or a fistfight.
And not every agent and broker
sees things eye to eye when it comes
to which forms to use. The California

Boundary basics for HOA team members
For many years, advising as-
sociations was at times very
stressful as boards sometimes
would disregard my best ad-
vice for them.
However, a de-
fining moment
in my HOA law
career came
when I realized
my role is to tell
the board the
truth and pro-
vide to them my
best advice, but
compelling the
board to follow my advice was
not my responsibility.
Once I had a better under-
standing of my role, things
became less stressful. Each
member of the HOA team has
its own boundary, and each
team member staying within
that role helps the entire HOA
team.
• Managers: They take ac-
tion managing the associa-
tion, carrying out board direc-
tions and providing important
advice helping boards operate
within the business judgment
rule. Managers do not make
decisions, except those specif-
ically assigned to them by the
board.
• Boards: The board de-
cides things but doesn’t imple-
ment its decisions. The board
provides direction to manage-
ment and approves contracts
with other HOA vendors.
Boards should not co-man-
age the HOA but should allow
the manager to carry out the
board’s directives. Boards nor-
mally don’t oversee vendors;
Understanding the roles and boundaries of HOA board members,
directors and managers is key to successful management.
that is what you pay manage-
ment to do.
• Vendors: Service providers
(including managers) should
perform their contracts and
avoid HOA politics. Endors-
ing or opposing board candi-
dates is outside their role and
is unethical — they must stay
neutral.
• Officers: In HOAs, indi-
vidual officers (even presi-
dents) have little power. Every-
thing they do is only upon the
express authorization of the
board. HOA officers occasion-
ally confuse their limited non-
profit role with the more pow-
erful role given officers in for-
profit corporations.
• Individual directors: A
single director has no power
except the power to cast a vote
on board decisions. The real
power rests with the whole
board. Well-intentioned di-
rectors can usurp the board’s
role by acting without board
authority, usually justify-
ing it by claiming the action
was needed. But the well-in-
tentioned director becomes a
“renegade” by taking actions,
which are reserved for the
board, such as instructing the
manager or other vendors or
making contractual commit-
ments for the association.
• Committees: Except for
architectural committees,
most committees are advisory
to the board and do not act.
Committees typically are as-
signed an ongoing important
subject and advise the board
by issuing reports, hopefully
written, suggesting certain
board actions. Committees do
not make commitments to as-
sociation vendors, and their
meetings are less formal.
Boards should avoid doing
committee work in the board
meetings, just as the commit-
tee avoids doing board work.
• Committee members: A
committee member should
be part of a team. However,
sometimes extremely inter-
ested and active committee
members step outside their
role by speaking for the com-
mittee when the committee
has not met. A committee of
one is not a committee!
• Homeowners: The gov-
erning documents list cer-
tain matters that are subject
to membership vote where in-
dividual homeowners can par-
ticipate. Beyond these, let the
board handle things because
they are legally responsible.
Nondirectors should not par-
ticipate in board discussions
except for open forum input.
Another common homeowner
boundary issue arises when
homeowners instruct HOA
vendors, but that is the man-
ager’s role. One of the great
benefits of association living is
that the board, manager and
vendors handle many commu-
nity matters — so let them!
Check YOUR boundaries,
and stay within your proper
role. When everyone does HIS
job and allows others to do
theirs, the HOA wins.

dard forms and an ongoing stream
of new and updated forms to pre-
vent misunderstandings that have oc-
curred or are about to occur. CAR
recommends certain basic forms be
used in every situation, and others as
the situation dictates.
However, some brokers add nui-
sances based on their own risk
aversions and tactics, which is to-
tally their prerogative. For instance,
though it is not illegal for an agent
to list his own personal property for
sale, some brokers do not allow this
because their errors and omissions
insurance won’t cover this situation.
Likewise, it is not illegal for two
agents from different brokerages to
“co-list” the same property. This can
occur when the buyer or seller has a
friend or relative he wants to include
in the process, and maybe share a
part of the commission. But she may
work for a different company than
your primary listing agent. Some bro-
kerages allow an outside broker to
share the listing. Others do not.
Some brokerages make sure all 89
or so documents are fully executed
and uploaded into a company stor-
age application before they pay an
agent’s commission. This may cause
clients to get bombarded with signa-
ture requests at the last minute, even
though the loan has been funded and
the title change has been recorded.
All this to suggest that there are
folks who have experience with mis-
understanding, lack of clarity and
disappointment and who will go to
great lengths to make sure they never
have their hopes and dreams dashed
to pieces again.

WHAT’S NEXT

Newsom refocuses on state’s housing crisis

By Manuela Tobias
CalMatters
Gov. Gavin Newsom just
signed some of the biggest
housing bills in years, in-
cluding a measure that al-
lows more than one house
to be built on the single-
family lots that comprise
the vast majority of Califor-
nia’s developable land.
“The housing affordabil-
ity crisis is undermining
the California dream for
families across the state,
and threatens our long-
term growth and prosper-
ity,” Newsom said Sept. 16
when he signed Senate
Bill 9. “Making a mean-
ingful impact on this crisis
will take bold investments,
strong collaboration across
sectors and political cour-
age from our leaders and
communities to do the right
thing and build housing for
all.”
Two days after Califor-
nians gave him a vote of
confidence by rejecting the
recall, Newsom chose to re-
turn to the state’s housing
crisis as his first significant
policy action, with 700-odd
bills on his desk awaiting
action.

MARK BROWN — GETTY IMAGES

A lawsuit filed in Orange County accuses Anthony Hsieh,
LoanDepot’s chief executive, of leading a scheme to spark
sales by flouting regulations and taking on risky loans.

PHOTO BY PAUL RODRIGUEZ

KIM RAFF — THE NEW YORK TIMES Allegations by Richards echo some of the abuses that
Tammy Richards, LoanDepot’s former chief operations officer, at home in Highland, Utah, on Sept. 19. Her lawsuit claims fueled the mortgage meltdown in 2008.
LoanDepot illegally cut corners and processed thousands of loans without required documents like employment,

without merit.
“ We int end t o de -
fend ourselves vigorously
against these outlandish
allegations and will re-
spond as appropriate dur-
ing the legal process,” the
company said.
LoanDepot was founded
in 2009 by Hsieh, who had
created and sold two pre-
vious online lending com-
panies. The first, LoansDi-
rect, was bought in 2001 by
E-Trade; the second, Home-
LoanCenter, was acquired
in 2004 by LendingTree.
Those deals made Hsieh
rich, but LoanDepot cata-
pulted him to a new strato-
sphere of wealth. Hsieh —
by far its largest individual
shareholder — became a
billionaire on paper when
the company went public
in February. LoanDepot’s
shares debuted at $14; they
since have sunk to about
half that price, leaving the
company with a valuation
of around $2.2 billion.
The planned initial pub-
lic offering was a motive
for the company’s execu-
tives to cover up Hsieh’s in-
creasingly reckless behav-
ior, Richards said in her
suit. In 2020, as the offer-
ing approached, LoanDe-
pot paid what it described
in regulatory filings as “a
special one-time discre-
tionary bonus” to its lead-
ers. Hsieh received $42.5
million, and other top ex-
ecutives took home cash
bonuses ranging from
$9 million to over $12 mil-
lion.
Richards, who said she
was demoted in November
and left out of that special
bonus round, resigned in
March. Her lawsuit seeks
compensation for unpaid
bonuses and for feited
stock that she estimates
would have been worth at
least $35 million.
LoanDepot is in the van-
guard of a group of online
upstarts that uses technol-
ogy to speed up and sim-
plify mortgage loans. Last
year, it originated nearly
300,000 — twice the num-
ber it did a year earlier
— and was the nation’s
fourth-largest mortgage
provider in dollars lent,
said iEmergent, which
tracks industry data.
Hsieh long has put a pri-
ority on growth and regu-
larly adds new incentives
and products to his compa-
ny’s lineup. “We will never
be a company that is sat-
isfied or one that rests on
our laurels,” he told ana-
lysts on an earnings call
last month. Some work-
ers say they appreciate the
intensity and opportuni-
ties for big paychecks, but
complaints about crushing
workloads, high turnover
and burnout are common
among former employees.
R ichards’ complaint
describes the company,
which she joined in 2018,
as having a “misogynistic
‘frat house’ culture,” where
harassment was common-
place and top sellers were
feted at wild parties that
sometimes involved drugs
and prostitutes.
In 2019, a high-ranking
woman at LoanDepot ac-
cused a male executive of
sexually assaulting her at a
company party on Hsieh’s
boat; Richards, who was
not at the event, was asked
to run the investigation be-
cause the company’s male
officials, including its head
of human resources, did
not want to, her suit said.
(She said she had learned
that both employees were
drunk and disagreed about
whether the encounter had
been consensual.)
But the company’s lend-
ing was always done by the
book, Richards said — un-
til August last year, when
Hsieh began complaining
that LoanDepot’s loan vol-
ume was lagging behind
Quicken Loans’ Rocket
Mortgage, the industry’s
largest refinancing lender.
At a sales meeting that
month that she attended,
Hsieh told employees to
move faster and “immedi-
ately close loans regardless
of documentation,” Rich-
ards said in her complaint.
As LoanDepot’s head
of operations, overseeing
more than 4,000 employ-
ees, Richards managed the
process of completing its
loans. She said she had re-
fused to allow loans to be
finalized until all the re-
quired vetting was com-
plete, but Hsieh saw that
as unacceptably slow. By
early November, Richards
said in her lawsuit, he had
stripped her of her deci-
sion-making responsibil-
ities, and the company
pressured her to accept the
newly created, lower-paid
position of chief mortgage
officer — effectively a de-
motion.
Later that month, Rich-
ards said, she learned from
other employees about an
initiative called Project
Alpha. Hsieh personally
selected 8,000 loans and
told employees to process
them without the required
documentation, accord-
ing to emails and internal
spreadsheets that she cited
in her complaint; those
loans then were deliber-
ately excluded from the
company’s standard post-
closing internal audits.
R ichards, who once
worked at Countrywide
Financial, one of the most
notorious subprime lend-
ers of the mortgage crisis,
said LoanDepot’s actions
reminded her of the mis-
deeds she had helped un-
tangle after Bank of Amer-
ica bought the collapsed
firm in 2008.
“The job was going to
put me right in the mid-
dle of the inappropriate
activity, of talking to reg-
ulatory agencies and cer-
tifying that the loans we
give them are correct,”
said Richards, who added
that she had started hav-
ing panic attacks.
She soon went on unpaid
medical leave; her usual
$1.2 million salary and
bonus were cut off. Four
months later, she resigned.
Other, lower-level work-
ers who recently lef t
LoanDepot also describe
a pressure-cooker culture.
Several former employees,
who asked not to be iden-
tified to protect their job
prospects, said they were
unaware of Project Alpha
and had never been explic-
itly told to flout require-
ments, but each said the
company’s blistering work
pace had led to sloppiness
and mistakes.
One loan officer who left
last year said the company
had set unreasonably high
sales targets that forced
employees to originate
low-quality loans, many of
which were likely to be re-
jected, just to meet their
quotas. A loan processor
who quit a few months
ago said that she had of-
ten been assigned dozens
of loans in a single day, and
that customers had fre-
quently received closing
documents with inaccura-
cies. She added that Hsieh
had threatened — at large
company meetings — to
personally fire those who
could not keep up.
Hsieh makes few apolo-
gies about his brash man-
agement techniques. When
an employee survey of loan
officers found that nearly
half were unhappy in their
jobs, Hsieh told them to
“stop whining” and quit,
according to an email that
was forwarded to Housing-
Wire, a trade news source.
On LinkedIn, where
Hsieh maintains a chatty
stream of posts, he once
scoffed at the “top 10 ru-
mors” about LoanDepot,
including “we work too
hard” and “we play too
hard.” Another item on the
rumor list: “Regulators are
shutting us down.”

comps.
The next challenge is
the 80% area median in-
come cap. For example,
Los Angeles ZIP code
90062 puts that area
median income cap at
$68,880 (or $5,740 per
month), according to Fan-
nie Mae’s website.
You’d be close to the
qualifying limit with a
$500,000 total mortgage.
This new mortgage must
include the refinance of
any existing mortgage.
Let’s assume your cur-
rent mortgage balance is
$279,500, and it will cost
$220,500 to build an ADU,
after deducting a $14,000
ADU preconstruction
grant. The principal, inter-
est, taxes and insurance
would be $2,536, assum-
ing property taxes of $312
per month and homeown-
er’s insurance of $150 per
month.
Dividing that by the
monthly income cap of
$5,740 brings you to a
debt-to-income ratio of
44.2%.
Can you say topping
out?
Regardless of the com-
pleted property value, a
$500,000 loan doesn’t
leave much room for most
Los Angeles County mort-
gagors to finance the
ADU and still stay un-
der the income qualifying
limits.
Are the ADU precon-
struction grants ripe for
fraud? Let’s see now. For
free, eligible borrowers
can get $25,000 when the
true cost of the precon-
struction work might be
$14,000. Padding the pre-
construction cost by the
extra $11,000 and either
splitting it with the con-
tractor or getting a con-
struction price discount by
that same amount is a real
possibility.
I also wonder whether
this is an adequate solu-
tion to California’s hous-
ing crisis.
On the one hand, ADU
construction increased
dramatically in 2017-18 af-
ter the first round of laws
passed making ADUs eas-
ier to build.
But ADU construction
leveled off statewide in
2020 and fell 18% in pop-

largely eliminates sin-
gle-family zoning, are not
good answers. Most res-
idential lots around the
state are not well oriented
for ADUs, much less multi-
ple units.
Is this California’s big
idea for solving the hous-
ing crisis? It’s more like
