On high

events,
mayor
low key
Garcetti’s response to
police shootings irks
critics, but backers say
he’s focused on policy
reform, not the pulpit.
By Peter Jamison
Mayor Eric Garcetti met
with Ezell Ford’s mother at
First AME Church. It was a
historically resonant setting
for a talk about Ford, a mentally ill black man killed by
police. Founded in the late
19th century by some of Los
Angeles’ earliest black residents, the church stands
amid streets laid waste in riots that followed the 1992 acquittal of the officers who
beat Rodney King.
“It was a really beautiful
meeting between the two of
us, I think,” the mayor told
reporters on Tuesday after
speaking with Tritobia Ford.
“She was able to just talk
about what it felt like to have
lost her son and her quest for
justice for him.”
Ford later gave her own
verdict on her time with
L.A.’s top elected official:
While she was grateful for
the mayor’s effort, she said,
the meeting came “10
months late.” Her son was
shot to death by officers in
South L.A. last summer.
Only after she criticized
Garcetti on television last
weekend for his inattention
to the case had he personally
reached out to her.
The encounter inside
First AME was characteristic of Garcetti’s challenges in
recent weeks, as he has tried
to calibrate his reactions to
two
high-profile
police
shootings of young black
men.
The mayor is known for
using his bully pulpit as
leader of America’s secondlargest city with more restraint than some of his outspoken predecessors. His
supporters say he eschews
publicity for the more meaningful work of crafting policy
and back-channel coalition
building.

into Room 107.
This afternoon, Sam Maharaj will evict a couple and
their 4-month-old baby for not paying their bill.
The mother sits on the side of the bed, still
twitching from slamming methamphetamine
the night before.
Maharaj sinks the rake’s tines into an ankledeep thicket of dirty diapers, hypodermic needles, crusted food, hot sauce packets, broken
Tupperware and cockroaches, living and dead.
A South African immigrant of Indian descent,
he never expected that his piece of America
would look like this.
Four decades ago, this motel boasted a
cheery coffee shop, a heated pool, valet parking
and palm trees that swayed in the hard wind
coming over the Cajon Pass.
Now it’s a way station for broken people in a

a distillation of America’s urban woes.
Maharaj, who manages the Country Inn,
rents his rooms to copper wire thieves, prostitutes and the working poor. He does what he
can to help them, and often stands in the parking lot watching with sadness as their children
play between the freeway’s sound wall and a
swimming pool with just enough water for mosquitoes to breed.
He and his wife keep their own two children
locked away in their fortified apartment behind
the motel office. One day, they plan to buy the
motel from Caltrans — which purchased the
property as part of a freeway expansion project
— and turn it into clean and comfortable lodging. One day, they hope the Tripadvisor reviews
no longer begin: “Hookers, crack, blood and
bullet holes.” Maybe the motel will have charming postcards again.

lives, he keeps his expectations low. This is Berdoo, a city his friends at the Hindu temple in

ALEPPO, Syria — A series of checkpoints and barriers cobbled together from

tumbleweeds, discarded furniture and assorted urban
detritus mark the path to
one of the world’s most storied sites: Aleppo’s ancient
covered market, the heart of
the Old City.
Much of the magnificent

ruin. Labyrinthine corridors
trod upon for centuries in
this former Silk Road termi-

Hillary Rodham Clinton
will never win the presidency on the sheer force of
lofty rhetoric, as her announcement speech demonstrated Saturday.
But if she does win the
White House, it will be because she accomplished
what her speech set out to
do: harness the demographic shifts afoot in the
country and deepen voters’
understanding of the bestknown woman in the world.
Clinton highlighted a
laundry list of proposals
attractive to ascendant
voting groups that formed
the political base for fellow
Democrat Barack Obama
and began to show their
strength under her husband, Bill Clinton. She
offered multiple indications
that she was prepared to
fight for those seeking a
foothold, even if that contradicted her simultaneous
pledge to usher in a new and
more collaborative political
future for the country.
Delivered in a park in
New York honoring Franklin D. Roosevelt, Clinton’s
speech was the first big
event of her presidential
campaign, which the candidate has thus far spent
fundraising and making
small if telegenic drop-bys
with people in key electoral
states.
She vowed Saturday to
sketch the details about her
policy platform soon, but it
was clear from what she did
say that most of it will echo
the desires of the last two
Democratic presidents.
Throughout, there was no
mistaking the importance
that women, the young and
minority voters — the latter
two being groups that largely eluded her in her 2008
presidential bid — play in
her political future.
In one passage she sequentially took on Republican presidential contenders on the issues of climate
change, inequality, healthcare, abortion and contraceptive rights, immigration
and gay rights. Those are
threshold issues for many of
the voters whose support
Clinton is seeking, and they
are areas in which the Republican presidential candidates’ positions are far more
conservative than the nation’s at large.
Clinton essentially
sketched the nation’s politics as divided between
aging conservative voters in
the GOP’s camp, and everyone else — the swelling
majority of America, assuming they vote — in hers.
“Ask many of these candidates about climate
change, one of the defining
threats of our time, and
they’ll say, ‘I’m not a scientist.’ Well, then, why don’t

John Moore Getty Images

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON noted Saturday that she is the granddaughter

of a lace mill worker and daughter of a woman who was abandoned as a child.

Outlining an
expanded vision
Kicking off a new phase
of her campaign, Clinton
puts the focus on the
middle class. NATION, A10
they start listening to those
who are?
“They pledge to wipe out
tough rules on Wall Street,
rather than rein in the
banks that are still too risky,
courting future failures in a
case that can only be considered mass amnesia.
“They want to take away
health insurance from more
than 16 million Americans
without offering any credible alternative. They shame
and blame women, rather
than respect our right to
make our own reproductive
health decisions.
“They want to put immigrants, who work hard
and pay taxes, at risk of
deportation. And they turn
their backs on gay people
who love each other.”
Her reach for history was
a recurrent theme as well.
“I will be the youngest
woman president in the
history of the United
States,” she noted in a joking reference to how the
presidency had aged her
predecessors.
Part of Clinton’s challenge through 2016 will be to
navigate Obama’s positives
and negatives. The president, at his heights, inspired
far more passion in his
followers than Clinton has
in hers, but he also drew

antagonists with a fierceness that Clinton would like
to avoid. On Saturday, she
attempted to corral Obama’s voters while acknowledging the shortcomings of
his tenure.
“So we’re standing again,
but we all know we’re not yet
running the way America
should,” she said. “You see
corporations making record
profits, with CEOs making
record pay, but your paychecks have barely budged.
“While many of you are
working multiple jobs to
make ends meet, you see the
top 25 hedge fund managers
making more than all of
America’s kindergarten
teachers combined. And,
often paying a lower tax
rate. So, you have to wonder: ‘When does my hard
work pay off? When does my
family get ahead? When?’”
That was a refrain familiar to her husband’s 1992
campaign, which rested on
the notion that he would
stand up for Americans who
“work hard and play by the
rules.” But as much as she
hopes to benefit from positive views of his years in
office, she made clear that
she’s resting on her own
laurels.
In Saturday’s telling, she
was the granddaughter of a
man who worked for 50
years in a Pennsylvania lace
mill, the daughter of a smallbusiness man and of a
mother who had been abandoned as a child.
Clinton recounted her
life, from young attorney to
senator from New York. Her
years as first lady, a fraught

period personally and professionally, were skipped
over. Similarly, her term as
secretary of State received
little attention; foreign
policy, a subject of intense
interest to Republican
candidates, didn’t enter
into the speech until half an
hour into her 45-minute
remarks. Absent policy
specifics, the State Department job served simply as
further evidence of toughness.
“I’ve stood up to adversaries like [Vladimir]
Putin and reinforced allies
like Israel. I was in the Situation Room on the day we
got Bin Laden,” she said.
“But, I know — I know we
have to be smart as well as
strong.”
Clinton’s public life has
been marked by great
heights and perilous lows.
Her pledge to serve as president on behalf of “everyone
who’s ever been knocked
down, but refused to be
knocked out” seemed to
hold some resonance.
She has been respected
for her personal tenacity
and rebuked for what occasionally has appeared to be
a brittle public persona. To
some extent on Saturday,
she seemed to be saying —
particularly to women who
may feel more sympathetic
to her — that she hopes the
country simply takes her as
she is.

THE WORLD

India’s child labor challenge
Proposal shows how a country reliant on young hands struggles to ensure rights
By Shashank Bengali
SURAT, India — Their
hands fly with the speed and
precision of veteran assembly-line workers, pausing
only to flick sweat from their
shiny-smooth foreheads.
They construct box after
cardboard box, designed for
sari shops in far-off cities,
stacking them into multihued towers that loom
above their small, hunched
bodies.
Many of the workers are
not yet teenagers, and they
fill the dimly lighted corridors of the textile mills and
warehouses of this industrial city in western India. Despite a law requiring every
child younger than 14 to be in
school full time, millions of
Indian boys and girls still
hold jobs, including more
than 50,000 in Surat alone,
according to estimates by
human rights groups.
India has declared that it
wants to end child labor, but
advocacy groups argue that
a new government proposal
could actually push more
youngsters into the workforce, jeopardizing their education and putting them at
greater risk of exploitation.
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s Cabinet last month
approved amendments to a
3-decade-old child labor law
that would make it legal to
employ children younger
than 14 in “family enterprises” not deemed hazardous.
Children would be barred
from mining, heavy industry,
manufacturing fireworks or
other dangerous professions, but could participate
in virtually any other sector
as long as the work was outside school hours in a business run by relatives, says a
government statement on
the legislation.
Modi’s conservative government said it was seeking
to strike “a balance between
the need for education for a
child and the reality of the
socioeconomic
condition
and social fabric in the country.”
In many poor Indian families, boys and girls assist
their parents from an early
age, and proponents say an
outright ban on child labor
could harm small farmers,
shopkeepers, cooks and others who rely on young hands
to help them scrape by.
The number of recognized child laborers in India
has fallen sharply, according
to census data, to 4.3 million
in 2011 from 12.6 million in
2001, although children
working in family businesses
are believed to be significantly undercounted. Child
rights advocates are concerned that the government
proposal could roll back
even those gains by carving
out a loophole that would be
abused by employers who already stretch the definition
of the word “family.”
In Surat, a fast-growing
city of 4.6 million, textile
bosses routinely tell labor inspectors that the boys em-

would make it legal to employ children younger than 14 in “family enterprises” not deemed hazardous.

LAWS meant to keep

children in school are
routinely flouted.

ON THE OUTSKIRTS of Jammu, India, children carry sacks of leftover vegeta-

bles collected from a wholesale market. The food will be sold in their shantytown.
broidering saris, folding garments
and
assembling
boxes are relatives.
Government
surveys,
however, indicate that many
child workers in Surat are
migrants
from
poorer
states. Experts say the children rarely dare contradict
their bosses and authorities
often lack the resources to
investigate further.
“Family business sounds
good, but what we have
found is that bosses say, ‘I’m
his uncle’ or ‘he’s my son,’
and law enforcement is not
very keen to verify the
claim,” said Chandrashekhar Deshmukh, head of the
nonprofit Pratham Council
for Vulnerable Children’s office in Surat.
“If this practice gets legal
cover, child labor might actually increase.”
Indian authorities are
trying to bring child labor
provisions in line with a

landmark 2009 law that
mandates free, full-time
schooling for every boy and
girl younger than14. The earlier labor legislation banned
children younger than 14
from working in only hazardous industries.
The amendments must
win approval of both houses
of Parliament and the president, but analysts say they
stand a good chance of becoming law.

Trade unions back the
initiative, saying it is in line
with International Labor
Organization conventions
that require countries to set
a minimum working age of at
least 14 and bar employment
that would damage children’s health or well-being.
“It’s a very progressive
amendment, and it is very
clear,” said Vrijesh Upadhyay, general secretary of
Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh,

India’s largest labor union.
“Suppose I am a shopkeeper. My child comes after
school and sits with me, he
helps me — that’s allowed. If
in any way he earns money,
that is child labor and that
will be punished.”
The proposal stiffens
penalties for employers
found breaking the law to up
two years in prison and a fine
of about $800 for a first offense. But it scraps firsttime punishments for parents, a nod to the struggles
that prompt child labor to
begin with.
Educators say that any
regular work that takes
away from children’s time to
study or play outside of
school can be harmful to

their development and raise
dropout rates. Farm work
exposes children to harmful
pesticides, and in Surat’s
garment industry, which
manufactures saris and
other traditional clothing
sold across India, children
work all-day shifts for as little as $1.50.
One recent afternoon,
trooping through the corridors of Shiv Shakti Textile
Market in central Surat, social worker Meena Desale of
the Pratham organization
knelt and gently cupped the
chin of a worker who looked
no older than 10. His name
was Amar, he said, smiling
sheepishly as he folded a
stretch of bright red fabric.
“Are you in school?” Desale asked.
“Yes,” came the reply. But
when asked to name the
school, Amar hesitated. He
went silent and returned to
his work.
“They are told to say this
is only after-school work, to
conform to the laws,” Desale
said afterward. “But very
few of them can read.”
The day after Surat authorities raided a restaurant
last month, two teenage
workers from the northern
state of Rajasthan sat quietly in the administrator’s
office at a government-run
children’s home. One of
them, Mahinder Rajaram,
who is from a small village,
said he had served tea for
two months, earning about
$35 each month.
Ramesh Khadsalia, a
teacher at the home, said officials were trying to contact
the boy’s family to send him
home. But Khadsalia said
there was a good chance
that Mahinder, who said he
had dropped out of school in
fourth grade and did not
know his age, would leave to
find work elsewhere.
Critics say the amendments send the wrong signal
from Modi’s government,
which has been trying to revive India’s lumbering manufacturing sector and promote foreign investment
through a glossy campaign
dubbed “Make in India.”
“There is a feeling that if
children are blocked from
working, the garment industry or other industry might
suffer,” said Prabhat Kumarof Save the Children.
“But if you really look at
the issue, this won’t be the
case. No one would support
the idea of ‘Make in India’
meaning ‘Made by Children.’ ”

Taliban claims
attack on police
At least 17 Afghan
officers are killed in a
nighttime assault on a
Helmand checkpoint.
By Ali M. Latifi
KABUL, Afghanistan —
An overnight attack on a
checkpoint in southern Afghanistan killed at least 17
members of the national police, officials said Saturday.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack,
which began late Friday in
Helmand province’s Musa
Qala district, long a stronghold of the insurgents.
“Antigovernment forces”
converged on the checkpoint, said Omar Zwak, a
spokesman for the provincial governor, with dozens of

fighters participating in an
assault that lasted until
early Saturday.
Zwak said two police officers were also wounded. An
Afghan official quoted by the
Associated Press in an early
report said at least 20 police
officers died and the Taliban
claimed that 21 died.
Musa Qala, in northeast
Helmand, has been the site
of some of the fiercest fighting of the Afghan conflict between the Taliban and
NATO forces, primarily U.S.
Marines and British soldiers.
The Afghan National Security Forces recorded more
than 2,300 dead and 4,500 injured in the first five months
of the year, according to figures released by NATO.

Prime minister says no
elections or referendum
A government official said Greek Prime Minister Alexis
Tsipras has told senior aides to “forget about elections or a
referendum,” whatever the outcome of the country’s talks
with creditors.
The official said Tsipras told four senior ministers that
his government, elected in January, has a fresh popular
mandate and that “people have trusted us to take crucial
decisions and manage the difficulties.”
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to
the sensitivity of the talks, quoted Tsipras as saying his government would deal with an agreement with creditors “however difficult the compromise.” Alternatively, “if Europe insists on a split and the continuation of subservience,” it
would fight “for dignity and national sovereignty.”

SPAIN

2 mayors signal
new direction
Spain’s biggest cities —
Madrid and Barcelona —
completed one of the nation’s biggest political upheavals in years by swearing
in far-left mayors. The new
leaders have promised to cut
their own salaries, halt
homeowner evictions and
eliminate perks enjoyed by
the rich and famous.
The landmark changes
came three weeks after
Spain’s two largest traditional parties were punished
in local elections by voters
suffering under austerity
measures and angered by
corruption scandals.
In Madrid, retired judge
Manuela Carmena was
sworn in to cheers from supporters who crowded the
streets to mark the end of
city rule by the conservative
Popular Party, which runs
the national government.
Carmena pledges include
taking on wealthy Madrilenos who enjoy exclusive use

sworn in as the city’s first female mayor. Colau has questioned whether it’s worth
spending $4.5 million of city

Mt. Sinabung

A volcano in western Indonesia unleashed a new

Authorities have been

islands, since June 2, when

the alert was raised to the
highest level because of its
growing lava dome.
Hot ash tumbled down
the slopes of the mountain
as far as 2 miles, said an official at the monitoring post.
No injuries were reported
from the latest eruption.
Volcanologists
have
warned that smoldering
rocks mixed with hot gases
may tumble down at any
time. More than 2,700 people
have been evacuated from
villages in the danger zone.

Smartphone ban
set for security
A senior Iranian official
says authorities with access

Gen. Gholam Reza Jalali,
who heads an Iranian military unit in charge of combating sabotage, was quoted
by the semiofficial ISNA
news agency as saying that
instructions for the ban
await ratification.
Jalali said the main danger is the possibility that
smartphone manufacturers
— all of whom are based in
Western countries — could
have access to data stored
on the phones.
Iran considers itself to

Hundreds of Syrian refugees poured into a TurkishSyrian border crossing, fleeing intense fighting between
Syrian Kurds and Islamic
State militants.
The mass exodus came
as Kurdish fighters said they
were
making
headway
toward Tal Abyad, a stronghold of the extremist group
near the Turkish border.
The YPG, the main Syrian Kurdish militia, said the
militants had “lost control”
over Suluk and it was advancing on Tal Abyad.
The loss of Tal Abyad
would be a major blow to the
Islamist extremist group.

The man was walking in
the woods near Buchen, in
southwest Germany, when
the elephant attacked, Heidelberg police said.
The 34-year-old female

the circus. Police are investigating whether someone let
the elephant out of its secure
enclosure, and why the animal acted aggressively.

tunnels, while soldiers aim
to thwart subterranean assaults from their own
passageways.
At street level, the staccato of gunfire and thud of
mortar rounds sporadically
break the stillness. And then
there are the hellish improvised bombings, loud explosions followed by the cries of
anguished survivors.
“If we only had six
months of peace, people
would come back and this
could all be reconstructed,”
a Syrian army commander
said as he strolled through
the market, noting that
many of the centuries-old
stone walls were still intact,
albeit blackened by fire.
But a rare visit by a
Western correspondent to
the government-controlled
neighborhoods of Aleppo
makes clear the jarring toll
of nearly three years of warfare.
This historic city, once
Syria’s commercial hub, is
divided between government forces and various Islamist rebel groups, whose
brigades form a semicircle

around the town. A stalemate set in almost two years
ago, and shows no sign of
abating.
President Bashar Assad
has vowed not to withdraw
forces from the once-bustling city of about 3 million,
despite recent rebel gains
elsewhere in the north
against an overstretched
military.
Power and water shortages, along with daily mortar and sniper attacks, leave
the estimated 2 million who
remain here on edge. The Internet and other communications are spotty. Many of
the factories that made
Aleppo a thriving industrial
capital have been looted and
destroyed, the machinery
and wiring carted off to
neighboring Turkey, business leaders say.
In May 2014, rebels with
Al Nusra Front managed to
cut off most of the water supply to government-controlled areas for 13 days. The
Al Qaeda affiliate is one of
several opposition factions
in Aleppo. Islamic State, the
Al Qaeda offshoot that is a
rival of Al Nusra, was driven

out of Aleppo city in early
2014 by other rebel groups,
but maintains a presence in
the rural Aleppo region.
With the airport mostly
out of service, the army
keeps the city resupplied via
a circuitous eight-hour road
link to Damascus that skirts
rebel territory.
While human rights
groups deplore mass casualties from the military’s use of
so-called barrel bombs on
rebel-held territory here and
across the country, residents of government-controlled neighborhoods in
Aleppo speak with dread of
rebel
rockets,
mortar
rounds and sundry improvised weapons, such as the
hell cannon, a homemade
howitzer that indiscriminately fires repurposed gas
or oxygen cylinders packed
with explosives into the city.
In January 2013, a pair of
improvised missiles struck
outside the fine arts and
architecture buildings at
Aleppo University, killing
more than 150 students.
“Our students bled into their
examination papers,” said
[See Syria, A7]

L AT I M ES . C O M
[Syria, from A6]
Hassan Saudi, manager of
student activities.
The campus, home to
more than 100,000 students,
is hit weekly by ordnance
from the rebel side, according to university officials.
Another threat comes
from rebel snipers. Along the
city’s meandering dividing
line, which often cuts between densely populated
neighborhoods, authorities
have strung 30-foot-high
curtains in a low-tech bid to
deny targets. The military
also deploys snipers, whom
the opposition has accused
of targeting civilians on its
side.
The rebels generally control eastern Aleppo, while
the
government
holds
strong in the west, including
districts home to Christians
in this overwhelmingly
Sunni Muslim city.
The rebels were able to
advance three years ago in
working-class
neighborhoods where they initially
had civilian support. But
they were never able to take
the Citadel, the towering ancient fort complex that arises from the Old City and provides a panoramic view of
both opposition and government-held areas. On a visit
to the Citadel last week,
army troops manned gunnery positions atop the castle.
Since January, authorities say, more than 400 civilians on the government side
have been killed in sniper
and bombing attacks. The
opposition says hundreds in
rebel-held districts have
been killed in aerial bombardments.
Just the other day, an office worker at the heavily
damaged — and highly fortified — government center
near downtown ran hysterically from her office, crying,
“My boy has been shot!” Her
11-year-old son, Abdo, was
hit as he walked on the
street. She received a call
from the hospital about the
shooting, a co-worker said.
Still, life goes on with a
certain air of normality in
this hemmed-in city.
Open-air markets in government-held
neighborhoods feature ample supplies of fresh zucchini, tomatoes and potatoes. Residents chat in cafes day and
night, and children continue
to go to school. The city has,
to some degree, a jaunty, defiant feel, despite its isola-

S
tion and the prevalent sense
of uncertainty.
“This is where my shop is;
where else can I go?” asks
Ahmed Obeid, 42, a barber
in jeans and a green smock
whose establishment sits at
the government end of the
“passage of death” — a winding corridor through no
man’s land that long was the
only pedestrian link between the two parts of town.
The path closed eight
months ago, and each side
blames the other for the high
number of deaths by sniper
fire along the route.
Now residents seeking to
cross from one side to another — a five-minute walk in
peacetime — must take a 14hour bus ride past government and rebel checkpoints.
Government employees who
live on the rebel side must
pick up their paychecks on
the government side.
Legions of those displaced by the war have settled wherever there is accommodation.
Squatter
families have moved into a
series of bombed-out, onceelegant apartment buildings across the street from
the landmark clock tower
facing the Old City.
“I had no place else to go,
so I found this place and
took my family here,” said
Zahra Araaj, 42, as she sat in
the living area of a threebedroom flat housing her extended family of15. A car battery provides the only electricity.
Outside, children play on
the streets amid the rubble
in a district that was once a
hub for tourists; now it is
blocked off by checkpoints
and subject to mortar fire.
“A man was killed right
outside by a mortar yesterday,” says Araaj, a grandmother and exile from the
rebel side whose son is serving in the Syrian military.
“But we need a home somewhere.”
Many cram into flats in
the gritty Salahuddin district, scarred from fighting
almost three years ago in
which the army pushed the
rebels back during intense
urban combat.
“This is my home and I’m
staying here,” said Um
Hamad, 41, a mother of five
in Salahuddin who, like
some others, asked to be
identified by a nickname for
security reasons.
Since the battle for Aleppo began, she said, her family has been forced to move

more than a dozen times.
She now has fixed up her
apartment and plans to remain, even though one bedroom was sheared off in a
mortar strike from the nearby rebel zone.
Electricity in Salahuddin
is mostly provided via webs
of multi-hued wires that
sprout from generators to

concrete apartment blocks
like elongated spaghetti
strands.
Over time, people have
become accustomed to the
risks and the shortages.
“It’s a strange feeling not
knowing if a shell will fall on
you next,” said Hagoup
Khoudesian, 35, an insurance salesman who was

showing a visitor a bombdamaged apartment building in the largely Christian
Sulaymaniya district.
The residence was struck
by a mortar round in April
on the evening of Good Friday, as celebrated in the
Eastern rite calendar. More
than a dozen people were
killed and scores were in-

jured. Many in Aleppo’s vibrant and diverse Christian
minority viewed the timing
as deliberate.
Though many have left
the city, Aleppo retains a
large Christian population,
including members of many
sects. No official numbers
are available, but it appears
that a larger number of civilians have fled from rebelheld areas, where damage
seems much more extensive.
In the front-line Midan
district, home to many Armenian Christians, St. Krikor Church has been hit by
mortar rounds half a dozen
times. But services continue. The shelling has forced
the shuttering of buildings
and schools just down the
street, including an Armenian college.
“We live in an area amid
wanton destruction,” said
Nersis Sarkisian, a father of
two who resides less than a
block from St. Krikor
Church. “But this is our
home, this is my church. We
are not leaving.”

WASHINGTON — An
important federal appeals
court has reduced the powers of military commissions
to try terrorism suspects for
certain crimes, reopening
the debate over whether
such cases should instead be
handled by civilian courts.
The decision by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
could have an impact on
many of the detainees at the
U.S. military prison at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to legal experts.
The D.C. Circuit Court
said that military commissions like those at Guantanamo do not have the power
to handle cases involving
lesser charges such as conspiracy or providing material support for terrorism,
which can also be prosecuted in U.S. civilian courts.
Their jurisdiction, said
two of three judges on the
panel, is limited to recognized international war
crimes.
The decision Friday immediately resurrected a
long-simmering debate over
whether people captured by
the U.S. in Afghanistan and
elsewhere on suspicion of
supporting Al Qaeda and
other
terrorist
groups
should be tried in civilian
courts rather than the military commissions at Guantanamo.
The decision “underscores what so many of us
have been saying for years,”
said Sen. Patrick J. Leahy of
Vermont, the top Democrat
on the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
“America
stands on stronger legal and
moral ground when we use
our federal courts to try terrorists for their crimes.”
The decision overturned

SEN. PATRICK J. LEAHY (D-Vt.), foreground,

hailed the ruling as an important step toward moving
trials for Guantanamo detainees to federal courts.

tion against Ali Hamza Bahlul, a Yemeni who allegedly
served as Osama bin Laden’s public relations director
and created videos glorifying Al Qaeda’s attacks
against the U.S.
Judge Karen Henderson,
who dissented from the ruling by Judges Judith Rogers
and David Tatel, likened
Bahlul to Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels and
said Bahlul had bragged
about his role in the Sept. 11
attacks.
Henderson warned that
the impact of the decision
would go far beyond Bahlul’s
case.
“My colleagues bar the
government from employing
military commissions to try
individuals who conspire to
commit war crimes against
the U.S.,” she said. In the future, she said, military commissions would not be able
to try any offense not “condoned” by the international
community.
“Their timing could not
be
worse,”
Henderson
warned, referring to the
mounting Islamic State
threat in Iraq and Syria.
Steve Vladeck, an expert
on national security law at
American University in
Washington, wrote in a blog
post that “this is a Very. Big.
Deal.” He said it would limit
the future of Guantanamo
commissions to the Sept. 11related trial of Khalid
Shaikh Mohammed and

perhaps one other prisoner
among the 122 detainees still
at the military prison.
Eugene
Fidell,
who
teaches military law at Yale
Law School, agreed with
Vladeck’s assessment and
said it was time to end the
use of military commissions.
“There is so little left to
the potential jurisdiction of
military commissions,” Fidell said. “This patient is dying on the operating people,
and it is time we said ‘do not
resuscitate.’ ”
Though the Supreme
Court has overturned decisions of the D.C. Circuit on
Guantanamo, it was not
clear whether the Obama
administration would appeal, given its preference for
using civilian courts.
“The Defense Department is studying the judges’
ruling and exploring all legal
options,” said Army Lt. Col.
Myles Caggins, the Defense
Department spokesman for
military commissions.
Former Atty. Gen. Eric H.
Holder Jr. said before leaving his post this year that the
Sept. 11 defendants would
have been convicted by now
and be facing execution if he
had been allowed to try them
in New York. But plans to do
that caused an uproar of
criticism from Democrats as
well as Republicans, and
Congress moved to block it.

Dear America,
Today, one-third of our kids are overweight or obese, and one-third of
adults are obese. Add them together and we are hardly a picture of health.
Diet-related diseases are striking in record numbers. For the first time in
history, our children are expected to live shorter lives than their parents.
As a father of two, I am both sobered and empowered by that fact.
Despite our challenges, there is good news. People care. More and more
consumers today care about how their food is made, sourced, handled and
prepared. They care about what is in it and what is not. And they care about
eating for both health and joy.
As a result, these consumers also are demanding more of the companies
that feed them. And they should.
At Panera, we have always sought to challenge the status quo. Ten years
ago, we set a new standard by offering chicken raised without antibiotics.
We now enforce that same standard with our roasted turkey, ham, breakfast
sausage and bacon. Five years ago, we voluntarily posted calories on our
menus because we believe transparency is a consumer’s right. And just last
month, we became the first national restaurant brand to publish a list of
artificial ingredients we will be removing from our menu by the end of 2016.
Our food will have no artificial colors, preservatives, sweeteners or flavors.
None whatsoever.
No other company is moving as aggressively to offer clean food. We want
to encourage suppliers and competitors to rethink the way that they do
business, too. We want to set an example for the change our food system
so desperately needs.
We all have a choice: Be part of the solution or be part of the problem. We at
Panera want to be part of the solution; that’s why I got into this business. I see no
better way to make a positive difference than by fueling the ten million people
we serve each week with food that’s simply good and is also good for you.
For me, this work is deeply personal. I want to serve you food that I want to
eat myself and serve to my own children. I want to wake up every morning
optimistic about the direction our food system is headed. I want to see our
country get healthier and stronger by experiencing the joy of good eating.
If you’d like to be part of the solution, please join us on our journey. We all
have a job to do. Yours is simple: Care. Ask questions. Demand transparency
and cleaner menus. Our Food Policy and No No List are available online as
inspiration. We invite you to help spread wellness in your own families and
communities. Come in, have a seat at our table, and enjoy food as it should be.
All my best,
Ron

THE NATION
At campaign
rally, Clinton
expands on
her vision
By Michael A. Memoli
NEW YORK — Hillary
Rodham Clinton cast herself
as a fighter for Americans
who have yet to share in the
nation’s economic recovery,
drawing inspiration from a
Democratic icon as well as
her own roots in public service
Saturday
as
she
launched a new phase of her
second bid for the White
House.
Speaking in a park dedicated to Franklin D. Roosevelt, on an island in New
York’s East River that offered sweeping views of the
Manhattan skyline, Clinton
said FDR’s legacy had inspired the administrations
of both President Obama
and her husband, President
Clinton, and generations of
families including her own.
Today, while the nation is
“standing again” after the
Great Recession, “we all
know we’re not yet running
the way America should,”
she said, blaming the problems on Republicans’ “trickle-down” approach.
Clinton sought to tap into
the country’s still-nagging
economic anxieties and the
rising populism within her
own party, declaring that

the “time has come” for middle-class Americans who
have wondered when their
hard work would pay off.
“Prosperity can’t be just
for CEOs and hedge fund
managers. Democracy can’t
be just for billionaires and
corporations,” she said.
“You brought our country
back. Now it’s time, your
time, to secure our gains and
move ahead. And you know
what? America can’t succeed unless you succeed.”
The Republican “choir,”
she said, had some “new
voices,” but all of them were
“singing the same old song: a
song called ‘Yesterday.’ ”
The line served both as
an accusation that Republicans would return to the
policies Democrats blame
for bringing about the financial crisis of 2008 and as a rejoinder to those in the GOP
who have dubbed her a candidate of the past, seeking
to run for a third Obama
term.
On issues including climate change, economic fairness, immigration and equal
rights for gays and lesbians,
Clinton said it was Republicans who were out of step
with the public.
“Fundamentally they reject what it takes to build an

a village — that has a place
for everyone.”
She also offered a personal qualification, drawing
loud applause when she reminded the crowd that while
she might not be the youngest candidate in the race,
she would be “the youngest
woman president in the
history of the United
States.”
Clinton used the highprofile speech to highlight
other biographical details
her campaign advisors believe many Americans continue to be unfamiliar with.
Her vision of America
was not one she learned
from politics, she said, but

from her family, specifically
her late mother, Dorothy
Rodham. Abandoned as a
young child, her mother survived and was an example of
the importance of perseverance and hard work in
the face of adversity, Clinton
said.
“My mother taught me
that everyone needs a
chance and a champion. She
knew what it was like not to
have either one,” she said.
Clinton did not shy away
from those characteristics
that Americans are far more
familiar with, including her
status as a longtime target
of Republican attacks.
She promised to seek
partners in both parties to
advance her vision, but emphasized her reputation for

tenacity.
“I’ll also stand my ground
when I must,” she said. “I’ve
been called many things by
many people. ‘Quitter’ is not
one of them.”
Republicans
jabbed
back. Clinton’s speech was
“chock full of hypocritical attacks, partisan rhetoric and
ideas from the past,” said
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Allison Moore.
Clinton launched her
candidacy in April with an
online video, as she had done
when she began her first
campaign in 2007. But she
never did then what she did
Saturday: hold a formal public campaign rally in which
she could offer a more expansive rationale for her

presidency.
Her new campaign team
mostly includes people who
were not part of her 2008 run,
but who have closely studied
the mistakes that cost her
the nomination then, at a
time when she was also the
party’s presumed front-runner.
Her advisors bristle at
the notion that Saturday’s
rally was part of an effort to
reboot the still-young campaign; they said it was the
start of a new phase of the
campaign in which she’ll begin to offer more details on
the kind of presidency she
envisions.

Officer who shot Tamir Rice saw ‘no choice’
By James Queally
The white Cleveland
policeman who shot and
killed12-year-old Tamir Rice
told another officer he had
“no choice” but to shoot the
black boy as he clutched a
toy weapon last year, according to details of an investigation made public Saturday.
“He reached for the gun
and there was nothing I
could do,” the other officer
said Timothy Loehmann
told him at the scene.
The FBI agent who arrived moments after the
Nov. 22 shooting told investigators
that
Loehmann
looked
almost
shellshocked, according to the report.
“The officer seemed
pretty concerned,” the unidentified agent said, according to a transcript of an interview with Cuyahoga
County Sheriff ’s Department investigators. “Obviously very concerned and
uh, I don’t want to use the
word, like — almost like shell
shock; like they didn’t know
what to do.”
The report, released by
Cuyahoga County Prosecu-

Marvin Fong Plain Dealer

AN ATTORNEY for the family of Tamir Rice, 12, expresses their anger for the

time it has taken to investigate his Nov. 22 killing by a Cleveland police officer.
tor Timothy McGinty, contains hundreds of pages of
interview transcripts, police
emails, medical examiner’s
findings and ballistics reports. It makes no recommendation on whether criminal charges should be filed.
Loehmann shot Tamir
after responding to reports
of a person waving a gun. A
911 caller told police that the
person was probably a child
and that the gun was “probably fake,” but that information was not relayed to the
rookie officer.

The veteran police dispatcher who took the 911 call
has been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, but
refused to tell sheriff ’s investigators why she did not tell
the officers about the caller’s
comments, the report said.
Loehmann and his partner, Frank Garmback, did
not cooperate with the Sheriff ’s Department during its
investigation, according to
Steve Loomis, president of
the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Assn. The officers did
make statements to Cleve-

land police internal affairs
and homicide investigators
on the day of the shooting,
Loomis previously told The
Times.
Many of the documents
in the report were redacted
to “exclude personal information, confidential medical records and reports not
germane to the events of
Nov. 22,” McGinty said.
“Transparency (i.e., the
actual facts) is essential for
an intelligent discussion of
the important issues raised
by this case,” McGinty said

in a statement released with
the report. “If we wait years
for all litigation to be completed before the citizens are
allowed to know what actually happened, we will have
squandered our best opportunity to institute needed
changes in use-of-force policy, police training and leadership.”
McGinty’s office is conducting its own review of the
shooting and plans to
present the case to a grand
jury this year.
The release of the report
comes about a month after
Tamir’s family complained
that the investigation of the
boy’s death had taken far too
long. The Sheriff ’s Department turned its findings
over to McGinty’s office June
3, more than seven months
after Tamir was shot.
The FBI agent and others described a chaotic
scene in the park where Tamir was shot, according to
the report. Tamir’s brother
charged toward officers and
threatened them, according
to the FBI agent. His sister
was handcuffed and put in a
police car.
Several officials who were
at the park told detectives

Tamir’s mother was screaming at officers. A Police Department supervisor indicated her actions may have
slowed medical personnel in
treating her son.
Last week, a Cleveland
municipal judge found probable cause to charge Loehmann with murder and several other offenses, but the
decision
is
advisory;
whether to prosecute is
likely to rest with a county
grand jury. No charges have
yet been filed.
Police have said Loehmann warned the boy to
drop the weapon, and union
leaders said he had no
choice but to fire since he believed Tamir had a weapon.
Many of the officers who
saw the toy on the ground
told investigators it looked
real. One described it as an
“authentic firearm.”
In separate interviews
with investigators, the boy
who lent Tamir the toy gun
said he had disassembled it
earlier in the week and was
unable to reattach the orange tip to the barrel, which
made it more closely resemble a real firearm.

Dallas cops unscathed in attack

A single gunman with
an armored van and
explosives is shot to
death after assault on
police headquarters.
By Molly
Hennessy-Fiske
and Nigel Duara
DALLAS — An overnight
shooting
turned
police
headquarters here into a
crime scene on Saturday
with a detonated pipe-bomb
and bullet-riddled windows
and police cars, while miles
away a suspect was shot
dead by a police sniper after
a standoff in an armored van
carrying explosives.
“We were unbelievably
fortunate,” Dallas Police
Maj. Jeff Cotner said of the
brazen attack in which no
one was killed or injured.
More than 30 bullets tore
through the lobby’s front
windows and glass doors after the gunman, apparently
angry over losing his child in
a custody dispute, approached on foot and
opened fire on the building
with an assault-style weapon about 12:30 a.m.
“Officers were sitting
there at the time that the
shots were fired,” Cotner
said of the lobby damage.
“Those rounds went all the
way through and into records, the room at the back.”
Police found two satchels
containing pipe bombs near
the headquarters building
and evacuated a nearby
housing complex. A police
officer almost tripped on one
pipe bomb package planted
at the scene and rigged to explode when touched, said
Police Chief David Brown.
One explosive detonated in
front of a gray Toyota SUV,
destroying the front and
charring the pavement.
Cotner would not say
whether police detonated
the bomb, but investigators
found an electronic detonator in nearby trees.
Bullet holes penetrated
one police cruiser, passing
through the seat and the
seat belt on the driver’s side

Ashley Landis Dallas Morning News

POLICE SURROUNDED the suspect in the suburb of Hutchins for several hours after the initial attack and a

12-mile chase. The man, believed to be James Boulware, 35, was apparently upset about a custody dispute.
and the rear passenger window. But neither officer in
the car was hit — a “miracle,”
Cotner said.
“We barely survived the
intent of the suspect,”
Brown said.
The shooter, who later
identified himself to police
as James Boulware, 35, of
Paris, Texas, sprayed the
squad cars with bullets before peeling off in an armored van equipped with
gun ports, officials said. As
police chased him south, he
called them to say his van
was full of explosives, Brown
said.
The suspect, who investigators said has not yet been
identified by medical examiners, eventually stopped at
a Jack-in-the-Box parking
lot in the suburb of Hutchins, about 12 miles south,
and was surrounded by a
SWAT team. There the attacker exchanged gunfire
with police and told negotiators that he blamed police
for his loss of custody of his

son and “accusing him of being a terrorist,” Brown said.
During negotiations, the
man became increasingly
angry, and police grew concerned that they and nearby
residents could be shot at,
Brown said.
After
an
hours-long
standoff,
police
fired
through the windshield of
the van around 5 a.m. and
then used an “explosive water charge” to neutralize the
gunpowder in bombs inside
the vehicle, Brown said.
Shortly before noon, police
detonated the van, which
caught fire.
The name given by the
suspect matches that of a
Texas man, James Lance
Boulware, who was at the
center of a brief police manhunt two years ago after an
argument with his family in
which he made threats
about shooting at schools
and churches, said Bob
Hundley, the police chief in
Paris.

began when Boulware reportedly made several aggressive statements about
religion. His mother told
him he was “going to hell,”
and Boulware then grabbed
her by the throat, Hundley
said. He also fought with an
uncle.
“He was coming to do
them some harm,” Hundley
said of the encounter with
family members.
When the confrontation
ended, according to the report, Boulware’s brother
said Boulware went home
and retrieved guns, ammunition and body armor.
Because Boulware had
reportedly made threats
about shootings, a multiagency manhunt followed
until a Lamar County sheriff ’s deputy stopped Boulware’s car. Police did not find
any weapons, armor or ammunition in the car, and he
was arrested on outstanding
warrants. It is unclear how
the arrest was resolved.
Kim Cooks, judge of the

255th Family District Court
in Dallas County, who said
she had been overseeing
Boulware’s custody arrangement, told CNN on
Saturday that she had been
concerned about Boulware,
especially after he missed a
custody hearing on Monday.
Someone using Boulware’s
name had left rants on a
Facebook page for Cooks’
election claiming she was
against him.
“I never did think [the
Dallas police] would be the
target,” Cooks said in a televised interview. “I always
thought that I was going to
be the target.”
The attack shook not just
Dallas, the ninth-largest city
in the country, but other
Texas cities. In Harris
County, which includes
Houston, the Sheriff ’s Department issued a message
to residents saying that although the shooting appeared to be isolated, they
would “maintain a sense of
security to ensure officer

and
community
safety
alike.”
In Austin, Texas Atty.
Gen. Ken Paxton called the
shooting “a dangerous reminder of the unpredictable
threats our men and women
in law enforcement face every day.”
Later Saturday near Dallas police headquarters,
Navy veteran Ruben Watley,
48, said he had been walking
in the early morning hours to
a light-rail station and heard
what sounded like semiautomatic gunfire — about a
hundred rounds in 15 minutes.
“I heard a car screech,
and then the cops didn’t get
a chance to get in front of
him,” Watley said. “That’s
what led to the chase.”
Nearby residents Ladarrick Alexander and his fiancee, Laquita Davis, said they
were driving to their apartment when they heard 15 to
20 gunshots in quick succession.
Seconds later, police
could be seen swarming an
unmarked van, apparently
the suspect’s, which appeared to have crashed into
a police car, they said.
The
couple
turned
around and parked outside
the police perimeter about
two blocks away, where they
heard the sound of one detonation about 4:30 a.m. and
saw smoke rising.
Police headquarters is in
a former warehouse district
called the Cedars at the edge
of downtown, where a boutique hotel and several new
apartment buildings have
opened.
The shooting is similar to
one in Austin the day after
last Thanksgiving, in which
a gunman fired at least 100
rounds at government buildings, including police headquarters, before a police officer shot and killed him. The
shooter, Larry McQuilliams,
49, had multiple weapons
and hundreds of rounds of
ammunition.

Battle for reputation endures
A Marine unit
was cleared of
slaughtering
Afghan civilians
in 2007, but
stigma lingers.

By David Zucchino
KANSAS CITY, Kan. —
The capstone to Maj. Fred
Galvin’s career was the command of the Marine Corps’
first-ever special operations
unit. He led the elite company into Afghanistan in
February 2007.
But less than a month after Fox Company arrived in
eastern Afghanistan, Galvin
was engulfed in scandal. His
unit was accused of firing indiscriminately after a car
bomb attack on March 4,
killing as many as 19 Afghan
civilians and wounding 50
more.
Galvin and his men were
cleared in court a year later
of any responsibility after
testimony by more than 50
witnesses. The three-officer
jury concluded that the two
officers and their Marines
“acted appropriately and in
accordance with the rules of
engagement … in response
to a complex attack.”
The court noted “unsubstantiated allegations” by
military commanders about
civilian casualties.
But Galvin says his and
the unit’s reputation remains stained by accusations that they killed innocent civilians. He has struggled over the last eight years
to clear the names of the 29
Marines on the 2007 patrol.
Galvin, who retired from
active duty last year, says he
is speaking out now to make
sure another unit doesn’t experience what he said was
the military’s rush to judgment in response to intense
political pressure to reduce
civilian casualties.
The Marines were called
into an office one at a time
and interrogated for hours,
with no Miranda warnings

MEMBERS OF 1st Platoon, Fox Company, were hit by a suicide bomber in 2007 and returned fire, but were accused of indiscriminately

killing civilians, prompting condemnation from military commanders. A court cleared them after testimony from more than 50 witnesses.
and no access to lawyers,
Galvin says. They were held
incommunicado for days.
They were publicly condemned by top military
commanders.
“We weren’t just abandoned — they tried to destroy us,” he said recently
near his Kansas City home,
his hand resting on a file box
containing thousands of
pages of documents from
the case.
“To this day, I encounter
people, including Marines,
who say we got away with
murder,” he said. “We’ll take
this to the grave.”

Career-ending day

Galvin, 45, still maintains
a rigid military bearing as he
builds a new life, working
toward an MBA. He has become obsessed with the
case, filing Freedom of Information requests, assembling thousands of pages of
documents and writing a
bitter, book-length account.
The accusations of civilian casualties essentially
ended Galvin’s career. He
was never promoted and
said he was steered into
dead-end jobs until he decided to retire after 27 years.
In Galvin’s view, Fox
Company is a case study in
the consequences of political pressures in an unpopular war. The U.S. military in
2007 was committed to a
counterinsurgency strategy
that emphasized protecting
Afghan civilians. Building

amid political pressure to reduce civilian casualties. “We weren’t just abandoned — they tried to destroy us.”
trust and confidence with local Afghans was viewed as
more important than killing
insurgents.
The incident began when
a platoon convoy from Galvin’s unit was hit by a suicide
bomber. Galvin was riding in
a Humvee at the rear and
saw an orange fireball rise
hundreds of feet into the air.
In an instant, gunshots
rang out from both sides of
the road, he recalled. Galvin
said his Marines opened fire,
disabling a Toyota SUV
speeding toward them. In
five minutes, Galvin said, his

men had killed six to 10 combatants.
The Marines drove back
to their base in Jalalabad.
Thankful to be alive, Galvin
received the shock of his career: The BBC was reporting
that the Marines had just
killed 10 Afghan civilians.
By the end of the day,
news reports quoting Afghan officials and villagers
said some Marines were
drunk and had shot wildly at
civilians. They were accused
of barging into homes to
shoot inhabitants.
A month after the attack,

Galvin was relieved of command. He and six other Marines on the convoy were investigated for negligent homicide and dereliction of
duty.
“After that, we were radioactive,” Galvin said.
“These traditions — never
leave a Marine behind —
well, they left us behind.”
Retired Marine Col. Steven Morgan, one of the three
officers on the Marine jury
that exonerated the unit,
said in an interview: “These
Marines still have this black
mark on them that never

should have been there. It’s
an ugly story and it makes
me angry.”
Lt. Gen. Frank Kearney,
head of U.S. Special Operations Command-Central
Command, said six weeks after the shootings that there
was no evidence of insurgents among 10 dead and 33
wounded Afghans. Kearney
had ordered Fox Company
removed from Afghanistan
six days after the attack.
Kearney, now retired, declined to comment for this
article.

[Marines, from A14]
Two months after the attack — with a military investigation still underway — the
top U.S. Army commander
in the region, Col. John Nicholson, told Afghan elders
that he was “deeply, deeply
ashamed and terribly sorry
that Americans have killed
and wounded innocent Afghan people.” He called the
killings a “terrible, terrible
mistake” and “a stain on our
honor.”
Nicholson said he paid up
to $2,000 each in condolence
payments to families of17 Afghan civilians he said were
among 19 killed by the Marines.

Cracks in the case

Retired Marine Capt.
Vince Noble, Galvin’s deputy
and the commander of the
patrol, said the military
command buckled to political pressures and abandoned its own men.
“I still ask myself: How
could the military turn
against its own like that?”
said Noble, who now works
in law enforcement in New
York.
The unit was denied combat ribbons. Sgt. Joshua
Henderson,
a
Marine
wounded in the car bombing, was denied a Purple
Heart.
Galvin and the six other
Marines were hauled before
a Court of Inquiry at Camp
Lejeune, N.C., in early 2008
— the first such Marine
court since 1956. During the
trial, cracks appeared in the
case against them.
A U.S. military police patrol that arrived on the scene
about 30 minutes after the
incident found no dead or
wounded Afghans. And
Navy investigators didn’t
reach the scene until two
months later, spending only
about an hour there.
Among the most damning witness testimony was
that of Haji Liwani Qumandan, who said he was driving
a blue Toyota SUV — which
the Marines said carried
armed men who fired at
them. Qumandan testified
that everyone in the vehicle
was an unarmed civilian.
He said “thousands of
bullets” fired by Marines
killed his father and 12-yearold nephew, and wounded
him in the back. Qumandan
received a condolence payment after his name did not
turn up on U.S. intelligence
terrorist lists.

S
But in a classified court
session closed to the media,
a U.S. intelligence report described Qumandan as an active Taliban participant, according to Morgan, the jury
member.
“He was bad news — we
were dealing with the devil,”
said Morgan, who had
served as a Marine intelligence officer.
Several other intelligence
reports also said Qumandan
actively supported Taliban
efforts, retired Marine Master Sgt. James Crawford, the
signals intelligence chief for
Fox Company in 2007, said in
an interview.
After 17 days of testimony, the three-officer jury
cleared Galvin and the others. The court noted “unsubstantiated allegations” by

‘To this day, I
encounter people,
including
Marines, who say
we got away with
murder. We’ll take
this to the grave.’

military commanders about
civilian casualties. It cited
the undue influence of a
“high level of command, media and governmental attention focused” on the incident.
Testimony by the Marines was “consistent, truthful and credible,” the court
concluded. Afghans, on the
other hand, were known to
“fabricate statements and
evidence” in hopes of receiving U.S. condolence payments, the court said.
Morgan said he and two
other jury members concluded that senior military
commanders panicked after
hearing reports of civilian
casualties and accepted Afghan accounts at face value.
“The duplicity by the
command — by the senior
leadership in our military —
well, they showed some very
weak leadership,” Morgan
said.
Nicholson, now a threestar general, said through a
spokesman
that
his
“thoughts
have
not

changed” since his testimony at the 2008 court hearing.
The panel’s findings were
forwarded to a Marine threestar general, who issued a report in 2008 that the convoy
responded properly to the
car bomb and ambush. A
short statement was released late on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend
in 2008.

‘We were ambushed’

Still, the ruling did not restore the unit’s reputation.
Galvin says the Marine
Corps should have done
more to emphasize that his
men had not fired wildly and
killed civilians — and to correct earlier statements by
military commanders to
that effect. A Marine Corps
spokesman declined to comment.
“We were ambushed, and
we fought on the battlefield
with honor,” Galvin said.
“There were allegations of
homicide, and we’re living
with that to this day. This
haunts us.”
Galvin says he’s not asking for damages or reinstatement, only redemption. “I
want them to acknowledge
that we were falsely accused,” he said.
Among the court’s 2008
recommendations were that
Fox Company receive combat action ribbons and that
Sgt. Henderson be awarded
a Purple Heart. The ribbons
were approved in May 2008.
That July, Sgt. Henderson
received his Purple Heart.
The officer who pinned it on
his uniform was Fred Galvin.
On Tuesday, Rep. Walter
B. Jones (R-N.C.) demanded a public apology
from the Marine Corps commandant, Gen. Joseph F.
Dunford, President Obama’s nominee to head the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Jones, whose district includes Camp Lejeune, said
Fox Company had been the
victim of “a witch hunt” in
which “senior leaders of our
Armed Forces publicly denounced Maj. Galvin and his
Marines before an investigation of the matter was
made.”
Jones demanded that the
Marines’ service records be
corrected “to remove the
stains of being wrongly accused of homicide.”

Bernardino. Four decades ago, the motel boasted a cheery coffee shop, a heated pool, valet parking and palm trees. The city has become the poorest of its size in the state.

HARD TIMES FOR A ONCE-PROUD CITY

[Broken, from A1]
meth possession, the city attorney
challenging the police chief to fight
at City Hall, one City Council member arrested on charges of perjury,
another on charges of stalking, and
a federal indictment of the developer who was supposed to transform the airport into a source of
civic pride.
Of the 100 biggest cities in the
U.S., San Bernardino, 60 miles east
of Los Angeles, was ranked the second-poorest in the nation in the
2010 census, behind Detroit. Two
years later, it filed for bankruptcy.
Last month the City Council approved a 77-page plan that it hopes
will move the city toward solvency,
in part by making residents pay
higher taxes and fees while further
cutting their services.

d
Former Mayor Patrick Morris
has seen the people living in San
Bernardino’s motels, squatting in
abandoned houses and sleeping in
its parks and vacant lots. To him
the bankruptcy is the culmination
of what happens when forces internal and external conspire to bring a
city down.
On a recent afternoon Morris,
77, and Sally, his wife of 54 years,
pull bags of mulch out of their old
Toyota pickup at Wildwood Park,
on the city’s middle-class northern
edge.
A nonstop volunteer now, Morris sinks a shovel into the small garden at the park’s entrance, replacing plants that gophers killed.
Morris grew up in the desert
town of Needles. After graduating
from Stanford Law School, he decided that he wanted to live in the
California city closest to his hometown, one with a similarly scrappy,
working-class soul.
He bought his modest ranchstyle home on Maywood Avenue for
$25,000 in 1964. Realtors tried to
lure him into a bigger house as his
stature in the city rose. He said no.
Nor did he join the many professionals moving next door to Redlands, with its outdoor amphitheater, manicured streets and solvent economy.
In a place that many middleclass children leave as soon as they

have created a subterranean spa fed by 90-degree water from the city’s geothermal heating system.

are adults, Morris’ children went to
the public schools, then settled in
San Bernardino, and his grandchildren are doing the same.
“I believe that membership in a
community is an essential feature
of a prosperous life,” he says. “We
need to take care of where we are.”
In his 50 years in the city, Morris
has been a prosecutor, a civil litigator, a Juvenile Court judge, the
chairman of the school board and
the presiding judge of the Superior
Court. He founded and led the local Habitat for Humanity chapter
and the San Bernardino Boys and
Girls Club. He started one of the
state’s first drug courts to keep
nonviolent offenders out of jail and

headed the Juvenile Court. And
last year, he finished his second
and last term as mayor.
The San Bernardino to which
Morris has such loyalty is one of
California’s oldest cities, founded
in 1851 by Mormon missionaries. It
was the birthplace of McDonald’s
and the earliest incarnation of
Taco Bell. The Rolling Stones
played their first U.S. concert at
the Orange Show Fairgrounds. Little League picked the city for its
Western region headquarters. And
in 1976, the National Civic League
designated it an All-America City.
San Bernardino also had its
curses. This rail and highway
crossroads at the edge of the Los

Angeles metropolis attracted hobos, misfits and con men selling
cheap land. The Hells Angels
roared to life in the area in the
1950s. As the valley became the region’s downwind cul-de-sac for
some of the worst smog in the nation. The looming mountains disappeared and lungs burned.
Over the last three decades, the
economy imploded. The rail shops
and the nearby steel plant closed.
So did Norton Air Force Base, costing the city 12,500 jobs. Downtown
businesses vacated. Law offices
decamped to Riverside when the
federal bankruptcy and state appellate courts moved.
But there are still middle-class

neighborhoods and amenities: a
symphony, a country club, the
Starbucks and El Torito along
Hospitality Lane.
At least some members of the
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, descendants of the original
Serranos who had been segregated
in an impoverished reservation,
now live in mansions in the hills
above their casino. It’s one of the
area’s biggest employers, providing 2,500 jobs catering to gamblers
from all over Southern California.
In the southeast part of the city,
Morris shows off the new headquarters and distribution center
for Stater Bros., which he helped
lure to the closed air base. It em-

ploys 1,800 people. Giant new warehouses for Amazon.com, Pep Boys
and Kohl’s are nearby, among vacant fields with scattered clumps
of eucalyptus and collapsing clapboard homes.
On the city’s northwest edge,
Morris drives past the latest developments of large Spanish-style
homes on curving, smooth-black
streets with banners reading “New
Frontier” and “The Colony.” It’s
suburbia at a fraction of what it
would cost closer to Los Angeles.
Median income in this area is
above $65,000, nearly five times
what it is in the bleaker parts of
town. Stay very close to home and
you might imagine you’re in Irvine
or Santa Clarita.
Yet even this relative upper
crust lives with the problems of a
city gone broke: subpar schools
and potholed streets just outside
their immediate neighborhoods;
high crime, slow police and fire response times; and trash and tumbleweeds that pile up against rusty
chain-link fences.
During several boom-and-bust
waves, homeowners sold or lost
their homes to investors and
speculators. Some landlords see
little return in keeping their properties well-maintained.
“They’ll bleed the property until
it’s blighted and then desert it,”
Morris says.
When the recession hit, San
Bernardino’s foreclosure rate was
3.5 times the national average. It
was inevitable: Only 46% of San
Bernardino’s working-age residents have jobs — the lowest figure
in the state for cities anywhere
near its size. And so the statistical
landslide built momentum as
property and sales taxes fell by
more than a third in recent years.
As the economy unspooled, the
police and fire unions kept shoveling money into council members’
campaigns. In 2008, over Morris’
objections, the council gave them a
generous gift. Employees of the Police and Fire Departments could
retire at 50 years old and their pensions would give them 3% of their
final pay for every year they had
worked. A fire battalion chief making $148,000 could retire at that age
and collect $133,000 a year for life —
with increases for cost of living.

A long decline
San Bernardino, once a middle-class city, has seen its median income drop
by a third since 1969. Now it is the poorest city of its size in California.

In San Bernardino, the typical

By 2012 the city was spending
72% of its general fund on the Police
and Fire Departments, mostly on
salaries and pensions — compared
to Los Angeles, which spends 59%
of its general fund on those services. More than half the sworn fire
personnel earn more than $150,000
a year according to city records.
The city downsized, cutting 350
employees, but that wasn’t nearly
enough. Many municipalities faced
pension problems, but the trajectories here were extreme. Facing a
budget deficit of $45.8 million that
year, with little more to cut, officials
filed for bankruptcy.
By 2013, the median family income, adjusted for inflation, had
dropped to $37,440, the lowest in
the state for a city its size. In some
parts of the city, it’s about $15,000.

d
Jesse Lopez hopes to make that
much this year. He is one of the San
Bernardino residents who have
tied their ambitions to the distribution centers.
One afternoon, the 42-year-old
Army veteran smokes, paces and
watches the spider-cracked screen
of his Samsung cellphone, still
bleary from the 5 a.m. warehouse
shift he just finished.
Many of the warehouses send
texts to announce what shifts are
open the next day. Workers usually
have seconds to claim one by typ-

ing in a code. Lopez still berates
himself for mistyping a few weeks
back, losing a day of work.
The phone chirps.
“There it is,” his wife, Sherri, exults. “Is that it?”
“No, that’s not it,” he says.
He yawns.
Unlike the explosive push driving people from hollowed-out Rust
Belt cities, San Bernardino’s economic implosion is sucking people
in: immigrants, parolees, Los Angeles gang members and those like
the Lopezes, who can’t afford to
live anywhere else in California.
Between 1979 and today, the city
has almost doubled in population,
from 117,000 to 214,000, and it’s still
growing, with more than half of its
residents — 54.3% — on public assistance.
Lopez makes $12 an hour. But
some weeks, he gets only a single
shift. He recently looked at his pay
stub and realized he made $1,352
between Jan. 1 and March 20.
He had gone to college to get out
of this cycle of temporary warehouse jobs. But his GI Bill expired
in October.
At 4:30 p.m., Lopez looks at his
wife and puts the phone in his
pocket. “Nothing.”
A few weeks later in April, the
Lopezes move into a $595-a-month
apartment with help from Sherri’s
daughter, who paid the first and
last month’s rent.
By May, they can’t pay their bill,

It could be worse. Liz Gonzales,
50, looks forward to the rare days
when she somehow pulls together
enough money to stay in one of the
city’s low-rent motels.
She grew up in motels, where,
she says, she was sexually abused.
Her own children also grew up in
motels and chaos. One is in prison
now, the other won’t talk to her.
Today, she lives in Meadowbrook Park, where a sliver of
stream gurgles through a cluster of
tents and lean-tos. The water reflects the new marble and blue
glass courthouse that Morris
helped get the state to build.
Liz has bright green eyes and
sporadic teeth, and is slowly dying
of lung cancer and emphysema.
On a warm afternoon, she wanders to where the stream becomes
a concrete flood control channel
and settles in under the 2nd Street
bridge.
As she looks for her syringe, a
teenage boy looking for turtles
crouches in the mud with an aquarium net.
Ten yards away, a man slips into
a tunnel in the wall of the channel.
Inside, the park’s residents have
created a subterranean “spa” fed
by 90-degree water from the city’s
geothermal heating system. It’s
marked with street art, including
the grim reaper drawn in colored
chalk.
Among the people who soak in
the tunnel is a friend who was hit in
the gut by a stray bullet as she sat
in her tent. Doctors fitted her with
a colostomy bag, but it was too
much trouble and she abandoned
it. It comforts her to sit in the tubular concrete tunnel, letting the
warm water flow over the puckered
hole in her abdomen.

Gonzales, too, appreciates the
spa. In her raspy voice, she quips
that the city has the cleanest
homeless people in America.
But like most people in the
park, her main source of comfort is
the methamphetamine that has
settled into San Bernardino so
deeply that downtown doughnut
shops sell glass pipes and torches.
She pokes her finger at a vein on
the inside of her elbow.
“It’s not a good vein,” she says.
“But it’s the only vein I could pick
right now.”
She sticks the needle in and lifts
the stopper a bit to pull out blood.
She doesn’t see it. Then a spot of
red swirls into the clear solution.
“Oh, there it is.”
She plunges it into her arm.
She waits, leaning back against
the redwood bridge’s bracing,
charred into black scales. She
doesn’t feel much. The crystal
wasn’t pure.
She heads off in hopes that
someone has a better batch.
Wisps of hope are what the city
gets by on.
Lopez hopes that he will land a
steady job.
Maharaj hopes that someday
the Country Inn attracts a less
troublesome clientele.
Morris hopes for a city that offers its people better lives.
He quotes author Wallace
Stegner, who wrote that a place
“forms like a coral reef, by slow accrual.”
It takes the contributions of
generations for a city to succeed,
Morris says. “I think to be rooted is
one of the most important and
least recognized needs of our human soul.”
“We leave a Detroit. We leave a
Stockton. We leave a San Bernardino. That’s a great sadness to me,”
Morris says.
And so he stays.

Bullying may be responsible for nearly 30% of cases
of depression among adults,
a new study suggests.
By tracking 2,668 people
from
early
childhood
through adulthood, researchers found that 13year-olds who were frequent
targets of bullies were three
times more likely than their
non-victimized peers to be
depressed as adults.
Even when the researchers accounted for factors
such as a teen’s record of behavioral problems, social
class, child abuse and family
history of depression, those
who were bullied at least
once a week were more than
twice as likely to be depressed when they grew up.
“Depression is a major
public
health
problem
worldwide, with high social
and economic costs,” the researchers wrote in the study,
published in the medical
journal BMJ. “Interventions
during adolescence could
help to reduce the burden of
depression later in life.”
Previous studies that examined the link between
bullying and depression
have determined that the
two are related. For instance, adults who are depressed are more likely to recall being bullied as kids.
However, it’s possible that
adults without depression
were bullied as well but have
put the abuse out of their
minds.
To get around that problem, a group of researchers
from four universities in
England turned to data from
the
Avon
Longitudinal
Study of Parents and Children.
Some of the study participants were recruited before
they were even born; others
joined when they were about
7 years old. The administrators kept track of various information about the kids
and their families, and they
asked questions about bullying multiple times while

‘These findings
lead us to
conclude that
peer victimization
during
adolescence may
contribute
significantly to
the overall public
health burden of
clinical
depression.’
— From study in journal BMJ

the children were between
the ages of 8 and 13.
For the new study, the researchers focused on peer
victimization at age 13. At
the time, the teens were
asked about nine types of
bullying and whether they
experienced them “frequently” (at least once a
week), “repeatedly” (at least
four
times
altogether),
“sometimes” (fewer than
four times) or not at all.
Name-calling was the
most common type of bullying, with 36% of teens saying
they had been on the receiving end of this behavior, including 9% who were victimized frequently. Twenty-two
percent of the teens said bullies had taken things from
them.
Beyond that, 16% of the
teens said bullies had spread
lies about them, 11% said
they had been hit or beaten
up, 10% were shunned by
their peers, 9% said they had
been blackmailed, 8% said
bullies tried to get them to
do something they didn’t
want to do, 8% said they had
been tricked, and 5% said
bullies had spoiled a game to
upset them.
Most of this bullying was
never reported to teachers,
and the 13-year-olds didn’t
tell their families about onethird of the time.

Not only did the researchers confirm that victims of bullying were at
greater risk for depression
as adults, they also found a
dose-response relationship
between the two. In other
words, the more bullying
that a 13-year-old had to endure, the greater the odds
that he or she would be depressed years later.
Among teens who said
they weren’t bullied at all, 5%
went on to suffer depression.
But among the teens who
were frequent victims, 15%
were depressed as adults.
What’s more, 10% of the
frequently bullied teens had
been depressed for more
than two years, compared
with 4% of their counterparts who weren’t bullied.
The results support the
idea that bullying during
childhood leads to depression in adulthood, but they
don’t prove that one causes
the other.
Nailing down causation
would require an experiment that randomly assigned some people to be
bullied and others to be left
alone. But the results imply
that “approximately 29% of
the burden or depression at
age 18 years could be attributed to peer victimization,”
the study authors wrote.
“These findings lead us to
conclude that peer victimization during adolescence
may contribute significantly
to the overall public health
burden of clinical depression,” they said.
In an editorial that accompanied the study, University of Cambridge bullying prevention expert Maria
Ttofi wrote that the study results should prompt school
authorities and health officials to think seriously about
ways to stop bullying by
teens. If they do, they will
reap the benefits for years.
“Effective antibullying
programs can be seen as a
form of public health promotion,” she wrote.

Recruiting now for 2016 Senate races
The GOP seeks strong
nominees in Colorado
and Nevada to offset
other expected losses.
By Kurtis Lee
The latest battle for control of the Senate won’t end
until November 2016, but decisions made this year in several key states could go a
long way toward deciding
the outcome.

In contests where open
seats can be won or a vulnerable incumbent toppled,
this is when parties focus on
a single issue: recruiting
candidates.
Currently, Republicans
are searching for candidates
in two states — Colorado
and Nevada — where they
have hopes of picking up
seats.
Democrats lost control of
the Senate in last year’s midterm election but have an
edge in regaining control in
2016. They’re set to defend 10

seats this time around compared with 24 for Republicans.
Seven of the seats Republicans must defend are
in states that President
Obama won twice. In a presidential election year, in
which turnout will be larger
and include more minorities
and young people, who tilt
Democratic, several of those
races will probably be difficult for the GOP.
To offset potential losses
in blue states — GOP incumbents in Illinois and Wiscon-

Legal Notice

If You Worked Around Gaskets or
Packing Containing Asbestos
The Garlock Bankruptcy May Affect Your Rights.
Certain Personal Injury Claims Must be Filed by October 6, 2015
There is a bankruptcy involving claims
about exposure to asbestos-containing gasket
and packing products.
Garlock Sealing
Technologies LLC, The Anchor Packing
Company, and Garrison Litigation Management
Group, Ltd. (“Debtors”) have filed a plan of
reorganization to restructure their business and
pay claims.
The products were used in places where steam,
hot liquid or acids moved through pipes,
including industrial and maritime settings.
Who is Affected by the Garlock Bankruptcy?
Your rights may be affected if you:
• Worked with or around Garlock asbestoscontaining gaskets or packing, or any other
asbestos-containing product for which
Debtors are responsible, or
• Have a claim now or in the future against
the Debtors for asbestos-related disease
caused by any person’s exposure to asbestoscontaining products.
Even if you have not yet been diagnosed with
any disease or experienced any symptoms,
your rights may be affected. The Court has
appointed a Future Claimants’ Representative
(“FCR”) to represent the rights of these future
claimants. Future claimants do not need to file
a claim at this time.
What Does the Plan Provide?
The Plan is the result of a settlement agreement
between the FCR, the Debtors, and the Debtors’
parent company. The Plan proposes to use
$357.5 million to pay, in full, all pending and
future asbestos claims against Garlock and
Garrison. If necessary, up to $132 million in
additional funding will be provided. If the
Plan is approved, you will no longer be able
to file claims directly against the Debtors or
affiliated companies. If you have claims only
against Anchor, you are not expected to recover

For Information:

anything, as that company has no assets and will
be dissolved.
Who Must File a Personal Injury Claim?
You must file a claim by October 6, 2015, if
you:
• Have a claim against Garlock or Garrison
based on an asbestos-related injury
diagnosed on or before August 1, 2014,
• Have not settled with the Debtors, and
• Filed a lawsuit against any other defendant
or a claim against any asbestos trust as of
August 1, 2014.
If you do not file a claim, you may lose your
right to bring your claim in the future.
Individuals diagnosed with disease after August
1, 2014 do not have to file a claim at this time,
but may be able to vote or object to the Plan.
Who Can Vote on or Object to the Plan?
All identifiable asbestos claimants or their
attorneys will receive the “Solicitation
Package”. This includes the Plan, Voting
Ballot, and other information. If you have not
filed a claim yet, you can vote on the Plan by
providing certified information about your
claim, or making a motion to vote as described
in the Solicitation Package available online or
by calling the toll-free number.
You will need to vote on the Plan by October 6,
2015. The FCR will support and vote to accept
the Plan on behalf of the future claimants. You
may also object to the Plan and the adequacy
of the FCR’s representation of future
claimants by October 6, 2015.
When will the Court Decide on the Plan?
A hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan
will begin at 10:00 a.m. ET on June 20, 2016,
at the US Bankruptcy Court, Western District
of North Carolina, 401 West Trade Street,
Charlotte, NC 28202.

sin are particularly vulnerable — Republicans hope to
pick up Democratic seats in
Colorado, where they defeated incumbent Sen. Mark
Udall in 2014, and Nevada,
where Senate Minority
Leader Harry Reid will be retiring.
But recruitment problems could limit those efforts.
In Colorado, GOP Rep.
Mike Coffman’s recent announcement that he will not
challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet
has left Republicans scrambling.
Coffman, who hails from
a diverse suburban Denver
district and has won statewide office in the past, is a
strong fundraiser and wellknown within the state
party. Now Republicans
must consider several lowerprofile and untested candidates.
The list includes state
Sen. Ellen Roberts, who represents a rural swath of
southwestern Colorado, and
Coffman’s wife, Cynthia, the
state’s attorney general.
In 2014, Cynthia Coffman
was the top Republican
vote-getter of any candidate
in Colorado, but many of the
state’s top strategists believe she will run for governor in 2018.
Roberts could be a strong
pick for a state that has never elected a female senator,
but her support of abortion
rights would be a hurdle to
overcome in a GOP primary.
“The big question is: Can
she make it out of a primary
where there will certainly be
really conservative candidates who hammer her on
the issue?” said Eric Sondermann, a Denver-based political analyst.
Roberts said in an interview that if she decides to
run, the theme for her candidacy would resemble a slogan used by Sen. Rand Paul
of Kentucky: a “different
kind of Republican.”
“We as a party need to
find solutions and bring people together,” Roberts said,
describing herself as “modestly libertarian.”
In Nevada, where Reid
has held his seat since 1987,
Democrats have coalesced

ries on both sides.
Rep. Patrick Murphy
represents a South Florida
district and has been endorsed by the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee. The endorsement,
however, hasn’t deterred a
challenge from Rep. Alan
Grayson, who is notorious
for making controversial
comments.
On the GOP side, state
Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, who is of Cuban and
Jewish descent, is the favorite of establishment Republicans. He’s set to be challenged by tea party favorite
Rep. Ron DeSantis, whose
district is in the northern
part of the state.
“I firmly believe — firmly
— that a Floridian will be the
Republican nominee for
president,” said Rick Wilson,
a Florida GOP strategist
who is working for LopezCantera. In addition to Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush is seeking the nomination.
“That only helps the Republican Senate candidate
in Florida, because it bumps
up Republican turnout,”
Wilson said.
In Wisconsin, the decision by former Sen. Russ
Feingold to seek a rematch
with Sen. Ron Johnson, who
beat him in 2010, has created
a race that both sides will
watch closely.
Johnson is one of the
most conservative members
of the Senate, and almost
certainly will have a harder
road in a presidential election year.
“This is one of the premier races,” said Nathan L.
Gonzales, editor of the

Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords of Arizona

Giffords joined others including Jill Biden, wife of Vice

The 419-foot ship was built at the Austal shipyard and is
the Navy’s 10th littoral combat ship designed to operate in
shallow waters near the coast.
Giffords was badly wounded in a 2011 shooting that left
six dead and 13 injured in Tucson. The Democrat left Congress and later founded an organization that supports gun

Some
want
more of
mayor
[Garcetti, from A1]
But at a time when officers’ killings of young black
men have tested big-city
mayors across the country,
some question how well Garcetti’s low-key style can be
adapted to the combustible
politics of race and policing.
Last month, one of the
city’s top homeless services
officials faulted the mayor,
along with LAPD Chief
Charlie Beck, for not showing up at an emotionally
charged community meeting called in response to the
fatal police shooting of Brendon Glenn, an unarmed 29year-old who lived on the
streets in Venice.
“Where is the mayor?
Where is the chief of police?”
Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority Commissioner Mike Neely said at the
meeting. “I don’t think they
realize this person was
someone people really cared
about.”
Last week, on the eve of
the city Police Commission’s
ruling on whether deadly
force was justified in the
Ford case, the mayor flew to
Washington, D.C. With a
small group of demonstrators encamped outside
Getty House, the mayoral
residence, Garcetti tried to
leave through a back entrance. He was confronted
by activists who shouted at
him as he peered out the
passenger window of a black
SUV.
“You always run,” one
protester said. The episode
was caught on video and
broadcast on the nightly
news.
Other urban leaders
haven’t necessarily fared
well with a more hands-on
approach.
New York City Mayor Bill
de Blasio alienated his police force with his forceful expressions of sympathy for

Rick Loomis Los Angeles Times

MAYOR ERIC GARCETTI is known for showing more restraint in the use of his

bully pulpit as leader of Los Angeles than some of his outspoken predecessors.

Eric Garner, an unarmed
black man who died after an
officer put him in a chokehold. Baltimore State’s Atty.
Marilyn Mosby was attacked
for political opportunism
when she swiftly filed
charges against six officers
allegedly involved in the
death of Freddie Gray.
Garcetti, according to
some longtime observers of
L.A.’s political scene, risks
erring in the opposite direction.
In a city with a smoldering legacy of civil unrest,
voters prefer mayors who
can summon a commanding
presence in times of trouble,
said veteran Democratic
strategist Darry Sragow.
Former Mayors Antonio
Villaraigosa and Richard
Riordan were sometimes
chided for hogging the spotlight, but were rewarded
with second terms in office.
“It’s obvious that L.A. is a
very big and complicated
place, and there’s an expectation on the part of the people who live in the city that
the mayor is going to play a
visible role and have a guiding hand,” Sragow said.
“This is a city with a lot of
underlying tensions and
problems that could rise to
the surface without that
kind of strong hand.”
Arnie Steinberg, a former
Riordan advisor, said Garcetti’s on-camera encounter
with the protesters outside
his home showed that he
had not yet mastered the art

of projecting strength in moments of controversy.
“It’s a counterproductive
visual to be seen as evasive
and not confronting things
forthrightly,”
Steinberg
said.
Fernando Guerra, a registered lobbyist and director
of the Center for the Study of
Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University, took a different view of the mayor’s
low profile. He said he didn’t
think Garcetti was too detached from the Glenn and
Ford shootings, but had
wisely focused on policy reforms — such as equipping
all officers with body cameras and increasing funding
for community policing programs — to address the police department’s underlying problems.
“You could spend all four
years, every single day, reacting to events in Los Angeles, and not get a single thing
done,” Guerra said. “I think
he’s got a systematic approach to public safety. He’s
way ahead of most police departments with body cameras. He’s way ahead of most
police departments with
community relations.”
On Tuesday, after the police commission ruled that
one of the two officers who
shot Ezell Ford was not justified in using deadly force,
Garcetti addressed criticism of his perceived lack of
focus on the case.
The mayor, whose father
served for eight years as

L.A.’s elected district attorney, said he had not wanted
to exert inappropriate influence over the civilian panel’s
decision-making process.
“Short of an explosive situation in this city where I
think it is my responsibility
to speak out,” he said, “I’m
the son of a prosecutor, and
I’m going to let that system
work and make sure that it is
as clean as possible.”
Garcetti has sometimes
taken an active role in the
city’s responses to police
shootings. When LAPD officials were accused of dragging their feet on releasing
Ford’s
autopsy
several
months after the August
shooting, the mayor ordered
them to disclose the report
by the end of the year.
He has also cited the
other inevitable demands —
both professional and personal — on a mayor’s time.
When he was asked on
KNX-1070 radio why he had
been a no-show at the May 7
Venice community meeting
on Glenn’s death, which began at 6 p.m. and lasted
about three hours, Garcetti
said he had “previous commitments, and a family engagement that I could not
break.”
He added, “That’s something as a father I won’t do in
certain situations.”
His calendar, released by
the mayor’s office in response to a request from the
Los Angeles Times, pro[See Garcetti, A25]

“Go ahead, just try to pick the pocket of these pants.” - LA Times

Mark Boster Los Angeles Times

CARRIE LEILAM LOVE places a rose on an altar set up outside Mayor Eric

Garcetti’s residence during a protest over the case of Ezell Ford.

[Garcetti, from A24]
vided more details about his
activities that night. As residents and activists were
shouting down a deputy police chief in Venice, Garcetti
was holding a cocktail reception for the Los Angeles Consular Corps at Getty House,
then attending the opening
of Riot Games, an online
gaming company that had
relocated to L.A.
Officials who were at
both events confirmed that
the mayor attended. A
spokesman for Riot Games
said Garcetti arrived just before 8 p.m. and stayed for
about an hour. The town hall
meeting in Venice concluded
shortly after 9 p.m.
In a brief interview last
week, Garcetti said he had “a
real, truthful obligation” related to his family, but acknowledged that it fell later
in the night. He declined to
specify on the record what it
was, citing his family’s privacy. (The mayor and his
wife, Amy Wakeland, have a
young daughter and in the
past have cared for foster
children.)
Asked why he cited a family commitment that did not
appear to take place at the
same time as the Venice
meeting as a reason for his
absence, the mayor said the
family obligation was “the final piece” of his scheduling
conflict and that the reception for diplomats and the
video-game company event
were “commitments that I

could not miss and would
not have missed.”
He said he might not
have chosen to attend the
town hall gathering on
Glenn’s killing anyway.
“I don’t know that I necessarily would have gone to
that meeting,” Garcetti said.
“In retrospect, and talking
to folks that were at that
meeting, it wasn’t necessarily a productive or listening
meeting.”
The mayor has also encountered concerns about
his level of involvement in
the Ford shooting.
Last Sunday, with the
Police Commission’s determination on the case two
days away, Ford’s mother expressed exasperation with
Garcetti’s disengagement in
an interview with KABC-TV.
That night, the mayor telephoned her. His staff said he
was unable to reach her, but
left messages. (Mayoral
aides did not finalize his
meeting with Ford until
Tuesday afternoon.)
Garcetti spent Monday
in Washington, where he
said he met with White
House officials about potential federal funding for city
programs. He returned to
L.A. on an overnight flight.
While he was gone, mayoral
staffers tried to reach out to
community leaders in South
L.A.
Earl Ofari Hutchinson,
president of the Los Angeles
Urban Policy Roundtable,
said one of the mayor’s aides

called him Monday to ask
whether he could participate in a meeting with Garcetti and other black community leaders the next day
in advance of the Police
Commission’s
ruling.
Hutchinson said he agreed
and was told the mayor’s office would follow up with details.
Hutchinson said he never
heard back, and the meeting
never materialized. Instead,
he said, Garcetti called him
Tuesday morning and expressed his confidence that
the panel would reach an appropriate decision.
Hutchinson said the
mayor has regularly been in
contact with him during the
last two years about issues of
importance to the city’s
black leaders, an effort for
which he said Garcetti deserves “a lot of credit.”
He also said phone calls
are no substitute for face-toface reassurance.
“It’s almost like a general:
The good ones, they’re out
front. They’re not in the line
of fire, but the troops can see
them,” Hutchinson said. “It
cannot be done on the telephone. It cannot be done on
the Internet. It cannot be
done by carrier pigeon. You
have to be there.”

Women made their World
Cup debut in 1991 with a dozen teams gathering to play in
China.
Michelle
Akers
scored in the 78th minute to
give the United States a 2-1
championship win over Norway.
It took eight more years
before officials became convinced the women — so long
in the shadow of the men —
had progressed sufficiently
to support a 16-team field.
That number remained constant until embattled FIFA
President Sepp Blatter announced an expansion after
the 2011 tournament.
“That’ll open up new
markets for women’s football,” Blatter said at the
time. “The final will now be
played to an audience on
both sides of the world, from
the East where the sun rises,
all the way to the West.”
To that point, his most
noteworthy pronouncement
on the women’s game had
been a 2004 comment in
which he suggested the players wear tighter shorts.
The decision to expand
triggered a chicken-and-egg

John Woods Associated Press

TEAMS SUCH AS the U.S. and Sweden, who bat-

tled to a scoreless tie Friday, don’t figure to get much
of a challenge from the eight World Cup newcomers.
debate.
Critics insist that lowerranked soccer programs will
never reach a high level of
play unless their governments devote more money
to coaching, facilities and
travel. While established
teams arrived in Canada
more than a week in advance
to acclimate to conditions
and the time change, the
Ivory Coast squad landed
only four days before play
began.
Supporters of a larger
bracket argue that inviting
additional teams to the
World Cup might be part of
the solution.
“This is like a transfer period where the difference between the teams will be big,”
said Nora Holstad Berge, a
veteran defender for Norway. “But the new teams get
some more publicity back
home and that will bring the
resources.”
An infusion of money
wouldn’t be the only potential benefit. There is another
argument in favor of a larger
tournament.
This World Cup is giving
newcomers a chance to face
powerhouse
opponents
who, under normal circumstances, might not even
grant them an exhibition
game.

Join us for a free event, featuring highlight clips from
the hit show and a conversation with the creator and star.

A new practice field
stands on the outskirts of
Ottawa, a sparkling rectangle of synthetic turf plopped
down amid trees and brush.

In late afternoon, a bus pulls
up and the Thai players spill
out,
smiling,
chatting,
laughing.
Their first World Cup
game ended in a 4-0 loss to
Norway, but they had reason
to feel upbeat.
The Thais were physically overmatched against
an opponent that outran
them to loose balls and muscled them aside in the box.
Still, they maintained their
technique and played hard
through the final whistle.
The crowd at Lansdowne
Stadium warmed to them as
underdogs, cheering every
save, every dash down the
field.
“The goal is to enjoy ourselves and try our best,”
goalkeeper
Waraporn
Boonsing said through an
interpreter. “If we play that
way, we don’t worry about
the result.”
Their coach, Nuengrutai
Srathongvian, has preached
this message from the start.
Her players need to see what
top-flight soccer looks and
feels like, she said. They need
to endure tough losses for
the greater good.
“The most important
thing is to transfer that experience back to younger
generations back in Thailand,” Srathongvian said.
The Ivorians headed for
Canada with a similar attitude, but have found it harder to remain cheerful.
During the loss to topseeded Germany, players
threw their hands in the air
after mistakes, yelling at offi-

BRICKFIX

The other teams making
their debut at this World
Cup are Switzerland, Spain,
Costa Rica and the Netherlands. Through the first five
days of competition, the
newcomers combined for a
respectable record of two
wins, four losses and two ties
— though one of the victories
and both ties came against
one another.
Things got out of hand,
however, when Switzerland
pounded Ecuador, 10-1, on
Friday.
With Ivory Coast facing
Thailand on Thursday, at
least one more fledgling
squad would record its first
World Cup victory.
The Ivorians scored
quickly on a scramble in
front of the net, bodies flying. Their fans, dressed in
bright orange, banged on
drums and gyrated in celebration, but things went
south after that.
Thailand answered with
three goals over the next 70
minutes, twice on plays that
appeared to be offside.
Though the Thais gave up a
late score, Boonsing made a
scrambling save in the final
seconds to preserve a 3-2 victory.
“We feel that we are really
lucky,” Srathongvian said.
For Ivory Coast, the
match ended with forward
Ange Nguessan sprawled
before the opposing goal,
slamming her fist on the turf.
Not only had the team from
West Africa suffered another
disappointment, but more
trouble lay ahead.
Next comes a Monday
game against the Norwegians, who managed a surprising 1-1 tie against Germany. Once again, the Ivorian coach will remind her
players to stay positive.
At this Women’s World
Cup, with so many young
teams getting their first
taste of elite soccer, winning
isn’t the only measure of success.
“We’ve played against big
teams, we are going back
with big lessons,” Toure
said. “We believe that we will
be able to use those lessons.”

Loaded weapons, sleepless nights

the knowledge that two killers are on the loose alter his
routine. He still jogs by himself in the morning, but
Myatt, who normally does
not watch TV, has begun following the local news for
search updates. He planned
to take another paddling
trip Saturday evening, and
he hoped he would not find
himself alone again.
Dana Harnish, a customer in the Kayak Shack,
where Myatt and Ali Harpp
were tending customers,
speculated that Matt and
Sweat were long gone from
the area. Harnish, who lives
on a dead-end road in an isolated camp that has not yet
begun to see summer visitors, said they might have
jumped on a train passing on
the nearby tracks.
Even if they haven’t fled
by train, Harnish noted, the
pair have been on the loose
for plenty of time to have
gone far on foot. “I could’ve
gone 70 miles by now,” said
Harnish, who nevertheless
is keeping his shotgun close
at hand. “Better safe than
sorry,” he said.
Harpp agreed. The prison escape, she said, was a
wake-up call to people who
for decades had lived nearby, assuming they were safe
from a breakout.
“I don’t think anyone
really thought it could happen,” Harpp said. “But now
they realize it can, and it’s
not as if these guys just killed
someone. One guy chopped
someone up.” Richard Matt,
48, had been serving 25 years
to life for the 1997 killing and
dismemberment of his boss.
David Sweat, 34, was
serving life without parole
for killing a sheriff ’s deputy
in 2002.
The pair have defied the
odds in remaining free this
long, according to prison escape data compiled by the
New York State Department
of Corrections and Community Supervision.
Of 29 inmates who escaped from New York state
prisons from 2002 to 2012,
none were loose for more
than three days before being
recaptured.

More than a week
after two inmates
escape prison, fear
and vigilance pervade
a New York town.
By Tina Susman
DANNEMORA, N.Y. —
Richard Matt and David
Sweat are everywhere.
They are at highway rest
stops, where the killers’
faces
peer
out
from
“wanted” posters. They are
at checkpoints dotting the
winding, forested roads,
where troopers stand guard
with rifles ready.
They are in the loaded
weapons that locals place
beside their beds at night,
and they are in the porch
lights that shine until dawn,
when daylight brings a
measure of relief to people
living near the prison that
Matt and Sweat fled more
than a week ago.
The pair remain out of
sight, but everyone knows
they are out there, and if police are right, they haven’t
gone far. That’s no comfort
to people living in and
around Dannemora, where
the hulking Clinton Correctional Facility seems to devour the quiet village of clapboard houses and small
businesses.
“I wish it could just be
over. I haven’t been able to
sleep,” said Amy Daust, who
lives down the block from
the manhole through which
the prisoners emerged after
cutting their way out of their
cells and tunneling out of the
prison. They were discovered missing during a 5:30
a.m. bed check on June 6.
Since then, it seems life has
turned upside down in tiny
Dannemora, whose population of 4,000 includes the
nearly 3,000 prison inmates.
“You feel like the roles are
reversed. It’s like we’re in
prison now,” said Daust, who
has a clear view of the correctional center and can hear
the announcements blasted
to prisoners through its
speaker system.
People avoid going out-

LAW ENFORCEMENT officers walk a field near Dannemora, N.Y. Police think David Sweat and Richard

Matt haven’t gone far — little comfort to locals, who avoid going out at night and keep their doors locked.

JOYCE MITCHELL , a prison worker, is charged

with providing contraband to the escapees.
side at night. They lock their
doors and windows, a
change of habit in a town
where many residents used
to think nothing of leaving
keys in their cars. Since the
escape, nobody has been
able to drive through town
without stopping at checkpoints and opening their car
trunks for troopers to peer
inside. Daust, her fiance and
their three young boys keep

the house lights on during
the night.
It has always been a bit
creepy, knowing the kinds of
people living behind the
walls at the maximum-security prison, said Daust, who
grew up in the region. But
with so many correctional
officers living nearby, and
with the prison looking so
impenetrable, it seemed
plenty safe.

On the morning of the escape, Daust woke up unaware that anything unusual had occurred at the fortress up the hill. She looked
out a window and was startled to see someone looking
back at her. It was an investigator, one of hundreds
searching for Matt and
Sweat.
On Saturday, searchers
were out again, combing the
thick woods, fields and
swampy areas of rural
northeastern New York.
Officials say a civilian
prison worker named Joyce
Mitchell provided some contraband to the men weeks
before the escape. A criminal complaint says Mitchell,
51, brought them hacksaw
blades, a screwdriver bit and
chisels.
Mitchell pleaded not
guilty Friday to a felony and
a misdemeanor in connection with the escape and was
jailed in lieu of $110,000 cash
bail. Clinton County Dist.
Atty. Andrew Wylie says the
investigation into Mitchell’s
involvement continues, and
he has not ruled out additional charges.
Officials have not explained how the prisoners

managed to cut through
thick brick walls and a steel
pipe. They have said Matt
and Sweat used power tools
but have not said where they
got those tools or how they
were able to use them without the noise drawing attention.
Police said they had no
reason to believe the men
had fled to Canada, about 20
miles north, or to neighboring Vermont. The checkpoints are centered on a
tight circle around Dannemora, and most of the intensive ground searches have
occurred in the immediate
vicinity.
Despite the manpower,
the search dogs and a

there have been no confirmed sightings, leaving

Synthetic cannabinoids
have been marketed as safe,
legal, herbal alternatives to
marijuana, but the data
from U.S. poison control
centers say otherwise.
Poison center calls linked
to synthetic cannabinoids
surged roughly fourfold in
just the first few months of
2015, according to a report
from the national Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
The sudden rise shows
that tighter regulation of
such substances is sorely
needed, according to the authors of the CDC report.
“Multiple other recent
outbreaks suggest a need for
greater public health surveillance and awareness,
targeted public health messaging and enhanced efforts
to remove these products
from the market,” the researchers, led by CDC epide-

miologist Royal Law, wrote
in the center’s Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report.
Synthetic cannabinoids
(whose aliases include synthetic marijuana, Spice, K2
and Black Mamba) are
made by spraying synthetic
psychoactive
chemicals
onto plant matter, which can
then be smoked or consumed.
Because the producers of
the psychoactive chemicals
can continually tweak their
formulas, it can be hard for
government regulators to
keep up.
The researchers analyzed the numbers from the
National Poison Data System, which tracks the
monthly calls to all U.S. poison centers. The number of
calls in April had shot up to
1,501, a 330% increase from
the 349 calls made in January.
From January to May,
poison centers received
3,572 calls linked to synthetic
cannabinoid use, a 229%
jump from the 1,085 calls received during the same period in 2014.
A total of 626 calls reported that the synthetic
cannabinoids had been used

with multiple substances;
the top two were alcohol
(144) and plant-based marijuana (103).
Negative effects seemed
to hit older users harder;
those in their 30s and older
than 40 were more likely
than those ages 10 to 19 to
suffer “severe” outcomes,
the authors wrote. The median age of users was 26.
Among the commonly reported health effects: agitation (1,262), rapid heart rate
(1,035) and vomiting (585).
And for the 2,961 with a
reported medical outcome,
335 (11.3%) suffered either
highly dangerous or potentially deadly effects; 15
deaths were reported, up
from five during the same
period in 2014.
“The increasing number
of synthetic cannabinoid
variants available, higher
toxicity of new variants, and
the potentially increased
use as indicated by calls to
poison centers might suggest that synthetic cannabinoids pose an emerging public health threat,” the study
authors wrote.

How many supervisors?
A bill to expand the county board
to seven members from five might
only expand the dysfunction.

W

hen he was a Los Angeles
County supervisor, Zev
Yaroslavsky had a quip
about county government
that his successor, Sheila
Kuehl, likes to quote: A county of 10 million
people run by a five-member Board of Supervisors is absurd. Unless you’re one of the
five.
The point is that one supervisor with jurisdiction over 2 million people and a fifth of
a $27-billion budget has a lot of power. Who,
once he or she gets that kind of clout, would
willingly give any of it up?
California’s default form of county government was designed in the middle of the
19th century and may well have been workable, or at least passable, when Los Angeles
County was populated mostly by cows, a
handful of vaqueros and some transients
whose luck ran out in the gold fields up
north. It may suffice even today in counties
such as Siskiyou, with 45,000 or so residents.
In Los Angeles County though, Yaroslavsky was right: A five-member Board of Supervisors — with no separation between
executive and legislative functions, few
checks and balances and a population bigger than most states — is absurd.
It is a form of government that would
have given Montesquieu, Madison and all
the other democratic theorists and constitutional framers fits. It diminishes the
voices and voting power of individual residents. It provides for inadequate oversight
of public spending and public services. It
confounds people who just want to know —
who’s in charge here?
It’s certainly true that a governing body
with fewer people stands a better chance of
getting things done than a bigger one. But it
also stands a better chance, if no one has the
power to say “no,” of making costly mistakes.
Democratic state Sen. Tony Mendoza of
Artesia has introduced a bill to ask California voters to expand boards of supervisors
in counties of 2 million or more people to at
least seven supervisors. (It would currently
apply to L.A., San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.) L.A.
County’s supervisors will take an advisory
position on the bill Tuesday and are likely to
turn thumbs down. More on that in a bit.
First, though, it’s important to remember that a majority of the previous board reluctantly agreed with Yaroslavsky in 2007
that regardless of the number of supervisors, Los Angeles County needed a stronger
executive. Not a fully empowered elected official, like an independently elected mayor,
but merely an individual like a city manager
who was responsible for running the county
on a day-to-day basis, leaving the Board of
Supervisors to focus on policy and over-

sight. On paper, it was a more rational system, comparable to the governance model
in San Diego and other large counties, not to
mention many small and medium-sized
counties as well.
It was an interim step, to be followed by a
countywide vote ratifying the new system
and making it a permanent part of the government’s structure. William T Fujioka, a
former county hospital official who also had
been the chief administrator of the city of
L.A., got the job.
It worked imperfectly. It may be that the
supervisors were too unwilling to surrender
power. It may be that they were unable to
change their method of operating, moving
from micromanagement or public humiliation of department directors — something
at which Supervisor Gloria Molina specialized — to bigger-picture policymaking and
oversight. It may be that Fujioka was simply
the wrong fit for the job. For whatever reason, the supervisors never moved past the
interim phase toward more rational and responsible government.
The new board, instead of finally completing that step forward, is instead taking a
big step in the other direction. In February,
with Fujioka, Yaroslavsky and Molina gone,
the supervisors moved to repeal the 2007 ordinance and called for recommendations
that would delete “unnecessary layers of
management.”
The recommendations have not yet
come up for a vote, but drafts circulating
around the Hall of Administration lay out a
return to the old ways, with a five-headed,
sometimes-bickering executive attempting
to direct the affairs of some 40 departments.
It’s cause for concern. To its credit, the
new board has sought creative workarounds that get departments to work together more seamlessly. But it still needs
someone with clout, confidence and policy
experience, especially at budget time, to say
“no.” It needs someone to tell the big five
when they are spending too much or thinking too little. But elected officials with the
power that county supervisors have aren’t
likely to share that power with an executive
or with anyone else absent a crisis — or unless voters force them to.
So should voters force them to? That
brings us back to the Mendoza measure to
expand the board to at least seven. Proponents assert that such a reconfigured board
would be far more representative, and it
might; but it would still leave Los Angeles
County with districts of 1.4 million people
and, this time, a seven-headed body with
few checks or balances. Without a strong
executive, that sounds more like a way of enlarging the dysfunction than correcting it.
Mendoza says he also supports an independently elected executive, and that his
measure might be seen as just the first of
several steps toward better county government. Perhaps. Or expansion without an independent executive may turn out just like
the term limits that finally kicked in last
year: Good for shuffling the deck, not so
good for improving the game.

Keeping the pill affordable

I

n the 50 years since Griswold vs. Connecticut — in which the U.S. Supreme
Court struck down a Connecticut law
banning contraception for married
couples — the right to birth control for
all has become a cornerstone of women’s
healthcare and reproductive freedom. But
making it affordable to all women has not
been easy. It wasn’t until 2000 that employers who offered prescription drug coverage were compelled to cover prescription
birth control as well. More recently, despite
protests from Republicans and religious
groups, the contraceptive mandate in the
Affordable Care Act was enacted, requiring
all insurers to cover birth control with no copay.
Now there are new efforts to make it easier for some oral contraceptives to be to be
sold over the counter, like aspirin, rather
than by prescription only. Wouldn’t that
guarantee the most accessibility? Theoretically, yes, but not if women are stuck buying
it without benefit of insurance. Consider
Senate Bill 1438, introduced by U.S. Sens.
Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Cory Gardner (RColo.). That bill would incentivize drug
companies to apply to the Food and Drug
Administration for permission to make
their prescription contraceptives available
over the counter by giving the drugs priority
review and waiving the fee to apply. The bill
would also repeal the Affordable Care Act’s
ban on using a flexible spending account for
over the counter medications.
All that sounds great. There’s just one
big problem. Only prescription drugs must
be covered by insurers under the Affordable
Care Act. There is no such requirement for

over-the-counter medications. Many women — if not all — would find themselves paying out of pocket for contraception after not
having to pay anything for it under the Affordable Care Act.
Opponents of the bill, including the
Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the
American Congress of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists, have pointed out that birth
control isn’t really accessible unless it’s affordable. And without insurance, oral contraceptives can cost as much as $600 a year.
Furthermore, the bill would bar anyone
younger than 18 from purchasing the pills
over the counter (although they could still
get them with a doctor’s prescription).
The better alternative is Senate Bill 1532,
just introduced by Sen. Patty Murray (DWash.). It calls for the continuation of complete insurance coverage of any oral contraceptive after it goes from prescription to
over the counter. It would not set an age requirement for purchase.
The American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists said in 2012 that oral contraceptives are safe enough to be available
over the counter. Not only are they likely to
decrease unintended pregnancy rates, but
they carry lower medical risks than pregnancy and have fewer side effects than many
medicines already available over the counter at grocery stores. The group does not believe the drugs should be kept from users
younger than 18.
The Senate would be smart to pass the
Murray bill. If the FDA approves making
oral contraceptives available over the counter, Congress should continue to require insurers to cover its cost.

Re “A war vet’s struggles hit home,” Column One, June 11
I want to commend Jamie Goodreau, a most unusual
and dedicated history teacher at Lancaster High School.
She encourages her students to understand and get
involved in living history rather than lecture or assign
questions to answer at the end of textbook chapters.
Her students give back to the community and learn
lifelong lessons, exemplified by their work for Jerral
Hancock, a wounded veteran of the Iraq war, who was
able to acquire a home for himself and his family.
Goodreau encouraged students to raise money; they
collected $350,000 over two years.
The young people learned how to read blueprints
from architects, how to take out a mortgage and many
other components of building homes. This is true
hands-on learning.
Thanks to all involved, and thank you, Hancock, for
your service to our country.

Government’s
pot deception
Re “What happened to the
pot stigma?,” Opinion,
June 12
Seth Leibsohn and
former U.S. drug czar
William J. Bennett give the
“marijuana lobby” far too
much credit for the growing support for marijuana
law reform.
It’s really simple: Most
young adults have personally tried marijuana. In
doing so, they could not
help but realize that our
government has been lying
about marijuana for decades. Marijuana is not
nearly as dangerous (or
exciting) as government
propaganda suggests.
The so-called marijuana lobby is a recent development resulting from
successful state ballot
initiatives to tax and regulate marijuana. Legal
businesses that pay taxes
and take profits away from
violent drug cartels are the
end result.
It’s personal experience
that has led a majority of
Americans to rightly conclude that marijuana is
safer than alcohol and does
not merit a criminal justice
response.

The ripple effect
of police ruling
Re “Chief ’s video upsets
police panel,” June 12
As the former executive
director of the Los Angeles
Police Commission, I am
disappointed in the current commission’s decision
to find the use of force in
the Ezell Ford case “out of
policy.” Its decision is
based solely on the tactics
employed by the officers
and, in the members’ opinion, the lack of probable
cause to stop Ford in the
first place.
Officers in the field
must make immediate
decisions as to probable
cause. Most of the time
they are right, and on few
occasions they are wrong.
The whole field of probable
cause is always shifting,
with prosecutors and
judges continually changing the rules.
To say that an officer
who makes a mistake in
stopping a suspect must
then be found “out of policy” for his use of force is
ludicrous. What should
that officer do? Not defend
himself because someone
might second-guess him?
This decision could
result in two possible outcomes. Officers will stop
initiating field contacts as
they have doubts as to
whether they will be held
liable for a bad decision, as
is now happening in Baltimore, or an officer will put
himself in jeopardy as he
hesitates when his life is in
danger because he is concerned about his tactics.
Either outcome would
be disastrous to the safety
of the city and officers.

It must not be forgotten
that sexual abuse and rape
of children is a crime. Several bishops have been an
accomplice to these crimes
against children and must
be subject to the judicial

OP-ED

It’s the majority, stupid
By Jamelle Bouie

I

magine three presidents.
The first sold a moderate
message to win a three-way
race with 49% of the vote. The
second sold a conservative
one and won with just under 51% of
the vote. And the third ran a liberal
campaign and won with just over
51% of the vote.
Of the three presidents, who
had the “broad” campaign of wide
appeal? And who had the narrow
one of partisan mobilization?
If you know your politics, you
know these campaigns. The first is
Bill Clinton’s 1996 run, the second is
George W. Bush’s in 2004, and the
third is Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection bid. And of them, Obama’s
was the most successful: Not only
did he win an outright majority, but
he won the most votes — as a share
of the total — in a presidential
election since George H.W. Bush,
and became the first Democratic
president since Franklin Roosevelt
to win two national majorities.
Looking to 2016, Hillary Rodham
Clinton wants to achieve what
Obama did, and so she’s running a

version of his campaign, openly
appealing to the groups that supported him. In the last two months,
she’s endorsed criminal justice
reform, pushed expansive immigration reform and called for an
overhaul of voting laws to improve
access.
But Washington pundits, and
mainstream reporters, are disturbed. “Hillary Rodham Clinton
appears to be dispensing with the
nationwide electoral strategy that
won her husband two terms in the
White House and brought white
working-class voters and great
stretches of what is now red-state
America back to Democrats,”
wrote Jonathan Martin and Maggie
Haberman of the New York Times.
“My problem with this approach,” wrote Ron Fournier of
National Journal, of Clinton’s strategy, “is that it works only until
election day, when a polarizing,
opportunistic candidate assumes
the presidency with no standing to
convert campaign promises into
results.”
Likewise, again in the New York
Times, David Brooks bemoaned
the Clinton approach as “bad” for
the country. “If Clinton decides to
be just another unimaginative
base-mobilizing politician, she will
make our broken politics even
worse,” he argued.
Each critique comes to the same

place: Mobilizing individual groups,
instead of using a broad message,
will polarize the country, make it
harder to win, and make it harder
to govern. But this argument has a
problem: reality.
Despite his inclusive, centrist
message, Bill Clinton never won a
majority of the vote. And when he
entered office in 1993, he faced a
polarized Republican minority that
blocked his core programs, from a
small stimulus package to healthcare reform.
At no point did this change;
instead, Clinton abandoned liberal
legislation and co-opted Republican ideas, softening them for
Democrats. Arguably, Republicans
never accepted Clinton’s presidency; it’s why a sex
scandal culminated in the first
impeachment proceedings since
the 1860s.
This same dynamic was at work
in 2009, after Barack Obama won
53% of the vote with an inspirational campaign of post-partisan
change. Despite his huge vote
totals, Republicans refused to work
with him, rejecting the stimulus
package (and any negotiations over
its substance), abstaining from the
healthcare debate (and any negotiations over its substance), and
openly pledging constant opposition.
“The single most important

used to be.
thing we want to achieve is for
President Obama to be a one-term
president,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell, ahead of the midterm election
in 2010. In 2011, after the GOP landslide, McConnell — and John A.
Boehner in the House of Representatives — would try to make
good on the promise, slowing Congress to a halt and forcing confrontations over routine measures,
such as lifting the debt ceiling.
Obama was only able to accomplish what he did in his first two
years because of the large Democratic majorities in the House and
Senate.
Liberal mobilization, part of
Obama’s strategy, had worked.
Indeed, it worked again in 2012 and
2013, when Democrats energized
their voters, reelected Obama,
elected a larger Senate majority,
and made headway on appointments and executive branch actions the following year.
Beyond the facts of this Democratic administration and the last

one, the biggest blow to the argument over Hillary Clinton’s “narrow” campaign comes from public
opinion.
Since 2000, Americans have
moved to the left on gay rights,
immigration, climate change, and
criminal justice — issues on which
Clinton is allegedly “polarizing” the
public.
If Washington pundits can’t see
that, it’s because they’re looking in
the wrong place. The rural and
suburban whites who brought Bill
Clinton to victory in 1992 and 1996
aren’t the center of American politics anymore. That belongs to the
Latinos, African Americans, Asian
Americans, single women, union
members, young people and college
students who gave Obama his
victories.
The electorate is younger and
browner, and more liberal as a
result. Put differently, Clinton is
mobilizing the base, but she’s also
speaking to the center. It just looks
different than it did.
To insist otherwise, to describe
this as “narrow,” is to delegitimize
the Democratic majorities of 2008
and 2012 and suggest, openly, that a
presidential candidate isn’t “broad”
unless he (or she) is focused on
white Americans.

n the first season of HBO’s
“Game of Thrones,” Illyrio
Mopatis introduces Drogo,
the ruler of the Dothraki, to
Daenerys Targaryen, the
descendant of a deposed royal
family. It’s not a particularly
noteworthy scene, except in that
it was the first to include an invented or constructed language.
When Drogo appears on screen,
Illyrio greets him in Dothraki.
“Athchomar chomakaan, khal
vezhven!” he says, meaning: “Respect to one that is respectful,
great king.”
“Game of Thrones” would go
on to feature more “conlang” material than any other television
show in history by a wide margin,
with sustained dialogue in Dothraki as well as High Valyrian and
Low Valyrian. I’m the lucky one
who got to create those languages.
When I sat down to compose
what would become Dothraki, I
knew where I had to start: the
words that George R.R. Martin
had invented. Martin is, of
course, the man who wrote the
wildly imaginative, sprawling
fantasy novels that D.B. Weiss
and David Benioff adapted for
HBO. Any Dothraki word or
name that he’d put to paper was
considered sacrosanct, not to be
ignored or altered.
The first step, then, was to figure out what words I had to work
with and how I could use them as
a guide to fleshing out the rest of
the language.
In the first three books of the
“Song of Ice and Fire” series,
there are 56 words from the
Dothraki language. Of those, 24
are proper names. The other 32
are nouns, verbs and adjectives
with various meanings. Ignoring
the meanings at first, I set to
work analyzing the syllables.
All languages operate according to rules regarding syllable
and word formation. By looking
at just about any word in a given
language, you can deduce some
of these.
If, for instance, a linguist
stumbled across the word “star,”
she’d guess — even without
knowing English — that there
were other words with the same
structure: two consonants followed by a vowel followed by another consonant. And in fact
there are many English words
with the same structure: spar,
stat, trim, clip, prom, etc.
Looking at Martin’s words, I
noticed patterns such as the following (“kh” and “sh” are treated
as single consonants):
Consonant-vowel-consonant:
khal, dosh, haj, rakh, qoy, khas
Consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant: mhar, rhan
Consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel: qiya, rakhi
Having identified these patterns, I created more roots, giving HBO’s Dothraki a vocabulary

language Dothraki in the HBO series “Game of Thrones.”

grammatical rules.
that would look similar to Martin’s:
Consonant-vowel-consonant:
lekh, ren, haf, san, mil
Consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant: nhazh, rhal, qwil,
krol, gref
Consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel: qora, gosi, thima, zemo, lofi
Beyond replicating patterns, I
wanted to meet the producers’
expectations that Dothraki seem
“harsh,” since the Dothraki are a
rough, warlike people. That actually wasn’t much of a challenge.
There is no such thing as a
harsh-sounding language per se
— there are only languages that
sound harsh to the ears of those
who speak a different-sounding
language.
Knowing that English speakers were our primary audience,
the inclusion of the throaty fricative “kh” was enough to satisfy
the producer’s request. It didn’t
hurt that the actor who played
Drogo, Jason Momoa, has a rumbly bass voice.
Once I’d worked out a logically consistent sound for Dothraki, I could turn to the grammar.
Although Martin claimed he
made up phrases on the spot, I
was delighted to find that his language examples were grammatically consistent.
The most easily analyzed
multi-word sample of Dothraki
in the text is “Rakh! Rakh! Rakh
haj!,” which is translated as “A
boy! A boy! A strong boy!” Based
on the translation, rakh must be
“boy,” which means that haj
must be “strong” — suggesting
that, in Dothraki, adjectives and
other modifiers follow nouns.
Other examples supported

my theory. Daenerys’ hated
brother Viserys is referred to by
the Dothraki as Khal Rhaggat,
“Cart King,” and Khal Rhae
Mhar, “Sore Foot King.” We know
that khal is translated as “king,”
which means that the words following it in each of these epithets
are the modifiers, preserving the
order seen in “strong boy.”
Looking at the rest of the utterances, I noticed other evident
orderings (objects following
verbs, prepositions preceding
nouns), and soon I had a fair typological description of the language. After that, it was up to me
to decide how I wanted the rest of
the grammar to work — verb
tense and aspect, nominal number and case inflection, adjectival agreement, etc.
For Dothraki, I really wanted
to employ nominal cases —
meaning the form of a noun
changes depending on its grammatical role in the sentence. If
chomak means “respectful one,”
it must change to chomakes if it’s
used as the object of a verb, or
chomaki if it possesses another
noun (e.g. vezh chomaki, “the respectful one’s stallion”). This is
something I hadn’t seen other
Hollywood languages do, so I
wanted to seize the opportunity
to try something novel.
Ultimately, the language had
to match fan expectations and
work on screen. Returning to the
first sentence of Dothraki: Athchomar chomakaan, khal vezhven!
The word khal is from Martin;
the rest are my creations. The
highest compliment I receive is
when fans of the literary series
tell me they can’t tell the difference between the words I created
and the ones Martin did.

t’s hard to think of a more bizarre story, or one more representative of contemporary
America, than that of Rachel
Dolezal. Dolezal is an academic
and activist who represented herself
as African American for many years,
earning a degree in Africana studies,
even ascending to the position of
president of the Spokane, Wash.,
chapter of the NAACP.
Dolezal’s parents, however, have
recently made matters uncomfortable for her, telling the media that she
is in fact Caucasian and showing
photos of her as a younger woman
with blond hair and blue eyes. The
NAACP is standing behind Dolezal,
stressing that “racial identity is not a
qualifying criteria or disqualifying
criteria for NAACP leadership.” But
there are additional questions regarding, among other things, her position on a local police council. When
applying to the Spokane police ombudsman commission, she indicated
a racial category of black, which if untrue would violate the city ethics
code.
Dolezal, for her part, acknowledged that her biological parents are
two self-identified Caucasians, but
has thus far refused to elaborate.
The story has predictably been
catnip to our pundit class, provoking
commentary ranging from the outraged to the sympathetic to the
amused. Almost everyone, however,
has been shocked — shocked that
someone would act this way and
shocked that someone could pull it
off. I am shocked that people are
shocked. Rachel Dolezal was inevitable. We made her.
Human behaviors are the product
of incentives. We repeat behaviors
that are rewarded. And clearly, Dolezal believed she would find rewards in
representing herself as a black woman. That statement might seem
strange, given the continuing destructive power of racism in America.
In material terms, the condition of
the average black American has actually gotten worse in the last 35
years, post-racial rhetoric to the contrary. Racism and white supremacy
are real and powerful in America in
2015.
Why, then, would someone try to
occupy that position of oppression?
The answer has a lot to do with the
spaces that Dolezal had advanced in:
political activism and academia.
It happens that I’ve spent most of
my life in those spaces. And in those
spaces, a set of social norms have created direct incentives for Dolezal’s
behavior — and forbidden anyone
from checking up on her story.
First, there is a series of dubious
and problematic presumptions
made about black people that, while
ultimately unhealthy, might have appeared attractive to Dolezal. The notion of black people generally and
black women specifically as inherently more authentic, more wise, or
more connected to nature are alive
and well in many academic and activist contexts.
Though many race theorists have
convincingly argued that such
stereotypes are actually connected to

the most noxious attitudes about
race, and ultimately perpetuate racial inequality rather than combat it,
for an individual white person working in those spaces, blackness might
appear to be the kind of thing you
might want to borrow — particularly
given that you wouldn’t have experienced a lifetime of petty bigotry and
major discrimination. Indeed, part of
what makes this story so offensive to
many lies in the fact that Dolezal has
borrowed a racial identity without
suffering from the harsh consequences of American racism.
She might not have attempted
such a deception if not for another aspect of academic and activist culture:
the notion that race does not equate
to skin color, complexion or other
physiological markers. I have attended many academic conferences
where speakers have passionately argued against the notion of someone
“looking black,” that you can ever tell
by looking at someone what their racial identity might be.
I have no opinion on this issue; it’s
not my question to answer. But with
that kind of social taboo in place,
there was little to fear for Dolezal in
representing herself as black; only
the belated attention of her parents
brought the truth to light. Nor did
she have to worry that anyone would
dig into her claims that she’d received hate mail and was the victim
of hate crimes — which are also now
in doubt.
Who, exactly, would feel confident
in questioning the claims of a selfidentified victim of a hate crime?
Particularly when that person was
serving as the head of a regional
NAACP branch? The outraged
tweets write themselves. Dolezal was
no dummy. She knew how these cultures operate. She knew she was protected.
In the end, perhaps Dolezal simply believed the convictions of her academic culture a little too much. After all, we on the left have insisted for
years that the various demographic
categories we are placed into are
merely social constructs, the creation of human assumption and human prejudice. That race is a social
construct is a stance that brooks no
disagreement in left-wing spaces.
It should not surprise us, then,
when an individual chooses to create
a different racial identity for herself.
I’m not saying that’s a legitimate
reading of social construct arguments. I’m not saying I condone her
behavior; like most people, I find it offensive. I’m simply saying that this
behavior is inevitable given the current social and linguistic codes of the
worlds in which Dolezal lives. We created those incentives and so we’ve
created this behavior.

getting hotter with climate change.
Plants and trees provide shade and
transpire moisture to cool the air;
gravel and artificial turf don’t. In
fact, they create the opposite of a
virtuous cycle: Fewer plants means
more heat, and more heat means
faster evaporation from watering,
swimming pools and vegetation.
More heat also means more water
to support the same landscape.
Replacing lawn with plastic
grass in particular can block oxygen from entering the soil and tree
roots; it may suffocate what trees
and plants are left after turf removal. We can’t afford that; we need to
protect and add trees and plants
that shelter pollinators, hold water,
absorb C02 and cool us down.

Make the right change

Wes Bausmith Los Angeles Times

Don’t gravelscape L.A.

P

By Mia Lehrer, Claire Latané and Margot Jacobs

eople are starting to panic about their lawns. The Metropolitan Water District is adding $350 million to
its lawn removal rebate program and homeowners are scrambling to rip out grass and replace it with
something easy and oh-so drought tolerant — gravel or artificial turf. At least one lawn removal contractor
promises to do it for free (the company cashes in the rebate).
Drought panic and rebates incentivize too many quick and dirty solutions for our water crisis. All over
the city — and especially in park-poor areas, where postage-stamp lawns may be the only relief from pavement — we
have to think before we act. Will exchanging a living, breathing yard for a bleak gravelscape save water? Some. But is
it the only way? Is it the right way?
Before you call the gravel truck, here are a few things to consider.
Hold on to water
Los Angeles was designed to
shed water. As early as the1920s, we
started engineering our landscape
to take rainwater to the ocean as
quickly as possible, so it wouldn’t
cause flooding. That means rain
washes off rooftops and pavement,
into gutters and storm drains, and
then into concrete-lined rivers and
out to sea. Because we’ve paved so
much of the landscape, our aquifers
don’t recharge when it rains — the
water can’t sink in.
That has to change. Almost 90%
of our water is imported from unreliable sources, and state and local
authorities are mandating a decrease in imported water of as

much as 50% by 2024. As we prepare
to rely on local water, we need to refill our aquifers.
The best way to do it is with a
planted landscape. Gravel is permeable, and OK in small doses, but
it doesn’t absorb and hold water as
trees and plants do. And just tearing up grass and laying on gravel
does nothing to keep water on a
site. Reshaping and planting the
land to hold and infiltrate water
can increase our water supply.

Rebate better
The water supply itself needs reshaping too. Rainwater harvesting,
gray water reuse and recycling water from sewage treatment plants

can drastically reduce or eliminate
our need to water the landscape
with potable water. Laws and policy have to change to ease reuse,
and water agencies and cities have
to educate and even reward the
public for doing so. Incentivizing
turf removal and not reuse is shortsighted.

plants kills them.
Establishing plants, trees and
yes, even turf, with less frequent,
deep waterings will develop deep
roots and a landscape that withstands long periods of drought. If
everyone watered only as much as
needed, we could make a big dent in
water use.

Water smarter

Conserve the ecosystem,
not just water

Our lawns and gardens are often
overwatered by two to three times
what they need. Turfgrass companies recommend watering lawns
with only 1 inch of water once a
week. (Put out a can to measure
how much you’re watering.) Overwatering (or fertilizing) native

Living landscapes aren’t just
about aesthetics; they are beneficial in multiple ways. Birds, bees
and insects (pollinators all) need
what trees and plants provide. Humans do too.
Gardens and lawns act as air

Los Angeles would no doubt be
better off with less turf. But not if we
replace it with gravel or plastic. Almost anything grows in L.A. if you
just add water. But so much will
grow even if you don’t.
A shady garden filled with flowers and trees native to Southern
California, or populated with
plants from southwest Australia,
South Africa’s cape and the lands
around the Mediterranean Sea
needs little to no water in the summer — maybe once a month.
Your landscape can also borrow
from L.A.’s past, when majestic
California oaks offered oases of
shade on golden grassy summer
hillsides; lupines, poppies, sages
and buckwheat punctuated spring
and fall with bursts of purples, oranges, pinks and rusty reds; and
ribbons of willows and sycamore
shaded roses, rushes and grasses
along creek beds and riverbanks.
These plants survive long summer
dry spells with deep roots that hold
soil in place during winter rains.
And they’re beautiful.
————
The drought is sparking longneeded action toward water independence. Los Angeles can be a city
of landscapes that collect rain, give
shade and provide food for the pollinators that help feed us. If you
have acres of green grass or grass
you don’t use, a new design is a
good idea. If you have a tiny or wellused yard, make smaller adjustments and water with care. Educate yourself. By all means take advantage of rebates, but don’t fall
victim to dead landscapes that
aren’t worth the money or the water saved in the long run.
Los Angeles can build a framework of deep roots and deep understanding of the multiple benefits of
ecological design. Despite its reputation for superficiality, the city can
shed its thin skin, do a little reshaping and root-strengthening and
capture and conserve water. Even
“shallow” L.A. can become known
for a beauty that goes beyond skin
deep.

Time to get rid of the Bear Flag
By Alex Abella

O

ne hundred and sixty
nine years ago in a frontier town, a band of
thieves, drunks and
murderers hoisted a
home-made flag and declared
themselves in revolt from a government that had welcomed them. Instigated by an expansionist neighboring power, the rebels aimed to
take over completely and impose
their language, culture and mores
on the land. The revolt succeeded
beyond anyone’s expectations.
That frontier town was Sonoma,
the land was California, and the
rebels, American settlers spurred
on by promises of help from U.S.
Army Captain John Fremont. The
rebel standard, the flag of the socalled California Republic, became
the California State Flag. It’s time
California dump that flag, a symbol
of blatant illegality and racial prejudice. Like the Confederate cross of
St. Andrew, the Bear Flag is a symbol whose time has come and gone.
When the Legislature voted to
adopt the rebel standard as the
state flag in 1911, California was in
the grip of a racist, jingoistic fever.
The measure was sponsored by
Sen. James Holohan from Watsonville, a member of the Native Sons
of the Golden West. This was an organization whose magazine, the
Grizzly Bear, declared in the very
issue in which it announced the introduction of the bill, “Close the
public school doors to Japanese
and other undesirables NOW!
Close the doors through which
aliens can legally own or lease the
soil of California NOW!”

THE FLAG is a salute to an unsavory bunch who led a revolt.

The obvious intent of the measure was to glorify the Bear Flaggers,
who were hailed as wholesome
patriots. But that was far from the
truth.
Its leader, Ezekiel Merrit, was
described by historian H.H. Bancroft as “an unprincipled, whiskey
drinking, quarrelsome fellow.”
Known as Stuttering Merrit, he was
a thief who in 1848 reportedly stole
200 pounds of gold from his business partner. William Todd, who
designed the flag, came from a family of Kentucky slave owners (his
aunt was Mary Todd, Abraham
Lincoln’s wife). The group’s first
lieutenant, Henry L. Ford, was a
U.S. Army deserter who had impersonated his brother to escape detection. Sam Kelsey, the second
lieutenant, along with his brother
Ben, was a genocidal maniac who
killed hundreds of Pomo Indians in

Clear Lake. Americans visiting
their ranch reported that “it was
not an uncommon thing for them to
shoot an Indian just for the fun of
seeing him jump.”
Why did the Bear Flag revolt occur? Because these rogues were
also illegal immigrants who feared
they might be deported by the Mexican government. They despised
the native, Spanish-speaking Californios, whom they called greasers.
Refusing to become citizens, a
move that would have granted
them voting rights and land, they
looked to the American takeover of
Texas as an example.
Encouraged by Fremont, the
Bear Flaggers kidnapped the military commander of Sonoma, stole
hundreds of horses and proclaimed
a republic that at best represented
a few hundred Americans out of a
population of 10,000 in California.

Although the California Republic was short-lived — it lasted from
only June to July 1846 — the Bear
Flaggers were partially responsible
for how the state ultimately entered the union.
Tensions between Mexico and
the United States had been growing for years and already an American Pacific squadron was anchored
off California’s Central Coast.
When U.S. Commodore John
Drake Sloat was informed of the
Bear Flag revolt, he felt his hand
had been forced. Saying he’d rather
be accused of doing too much than
too little, he began the U.S. occupation of California, landing 250 sailors and Marines and hoisting the
Stars and Stripes over Monterey.
With few weapons, little ammunition and no organized military, the
Californio government was unable
to put up much resistance.
Ironically, the commodore
chose to invade right when U.S.
Consul John Larkin was bringing
him a Californio plan to declare independence from Mexico as a prelude to annexation by the United
States. Had California entered the
Union voluntarily, it might have
been able to import its own laws
and customs, much like Louisiana
had done with its jurisprudence of
Spanish and French origin. Instead, as a conquered territory, California was subject to American
laws.
Californios had instituted a
democratic government, paternalistic and often beset by political
conflicts, yet multi-ethnic and racially integrated, whereas the
Americans, among other things,
denied civil rights to blacks and Indians.

Native Americans were the first
victims of the violent conquest provoked by the Bear Flaggers. In 1846,
there were about 150,000 Native
Americans in California. While
many of them had integrated into
Californio society, about 75% continued to live as they always had in
the state’s central valleys and
mountains.
Once subject to the U.S. government, however, they faced mass extermination. At the slightest provocation miners and settlers would
burn entire rancherias, or Native
American villages, slaughtering all
the inhabitants, men, women and
children. By the late 1850s, after
years of murder and virtual slavery,
only about 30,000 were left alive in
California.
Californios did not fare well either. They saw their lands, the main
engine of their cattle raising economy, taken over by squatters.
Americans would descend on a
property, build homes, put up fences and till the fields without paying
rent or compensating the owner in
any way. Among them was William
Ide, once president of the California Republic, who squatted and
then filed a preemption claim for
property in what is now the southern part of the city of Red Bluff. By
the 1880s, Californios were broken,
politically and financially.
So — slave owners, murderers,
thieves, drunks and squatters.
These are the people we want to remember with their standard as our
state symbol?

OXNARD PARENTS are concerned that chemicals used on nearby strawberry fields may be harming Rio

Mesa High School students. Agriculture industry officials say existing rules keep communities safe.

CULTIVATING
CONTROVERSY
Pesticide use near schools spurs push for statewide regulation

By Tony Barboza
Rio Mesa High School sits just outside the strawberry growing hub of Oxnard and is surrounded by vast
fields of the juicy red fruit.
Jeff Elliott’s twin daughters, in 11th grade, are on the
school’s track and cross-country teams, and they practice alongside neat rows of squat, green plants. But he
worries that the chemicals that help protect the fruit
might be hurting his girls. Elliott said his daughters
told him at least twice that they sprinted through foulsmelling fumigation operations during runs near the
campus.
“They’re looking at workers in the fields with masks
on, but they’re just running right through it,” Elliott
said.
After a flurry of concern in recent months from parents such as Elliott, school administrators and local
leaders, California regulators are developing the first
statewide restrictions on pesticide use near schools.
The move has reignited a debate about how to protect
children from potentially dangerous chemicals used to
grow strawberries, almonds, lettuce and other crops in
the nation’s top agricultural-producing state.
By the end of 2015, the Department of Pesticide
Regulation plans to propose new rules that could require growers to implement buffer zones, notify parents
and school administrators of nearby pesticide use or
limit their use of certain application methods.
The action comes after government reports and
news articles detailing heavy pesticide use near California schools. In some cases, growers were allowed to exceed state pesticide application limits, even as air quality monitors in nearby communities detected the
chemicals at levels above the state’s health targets.
Oxnard, in Ventura County, has been a flashpoint in
the pesticide debate. Growers and representatives of
California’s $2.3-billion-a-year strawberry industry are
resisting the push for more regulation, which they say is
based on unfounded fears. They say that extensive pesticide rules already ensure safety in surrounding communities.
Local activists, however, are demanding strict new
protections from authorities, who they say have been
slow or unwilling to act.
“This should have been addressed years ago,” said
Lucy Cartagena Martinez, who [See Pesticides, B5]

One sheriff ’s deputy shot
himself in the leg while pulling out his gun to confront a
suspect.
Another
accidentally
fired a bullet in a restroom
stall. A third deputy stumbled over a stroller in a closet
as he was searching for a suspect, squeezing off a round
that went through a wall and
lodged in a piece of furniture
in the next room.
Accidental gunshots by
Los Angeles County sheriff ’s
deputies have more than
doubled in two years, endangering bystanders and occasionally injuring deputies.
The jump coincides with the
department’s move to a new
handgun that lacks a safety
lever and requires less pressure to pull the trigger.
Sheriff ’s officials say that
the increase in accidental
discharges — from 12 in 2012
to 30 last year — occurred because deputies were adjusting to the new gun. They expect the numbers to fall in
the years ahead. So far this
year, the department has recorded seven accidental discharges, five of which involved the new weapon.
But the problems may
not be over, as more deputies switch to the Smith &
Wesson M&P9. In response,
department officials have
imposed extra training requirements.
The M&P has obvious
benefits. It is easier to shoot
accurately, can be fired more
reliably under stress and is a
better fit for people with
small hands. The switch was
prompted in part by the
threat of a lawsuit by women
who had failed the Sheriff ’s
Academy. More recruits —
including more women —
are now passing the firearms
test, and veteran deputies
are also logging better
scores at the firing range.
But the sharp increase in
accidental discharges has
prompted an investigation
by the Sheriff ’s Department’s new inspector general. Critics say this type of
semiautomatic, which is
widespread in law enforcement and includes the Glock
used by many agencies, is
too easy to misfire.

CALIFORNIA POLITICS

Labor looks to punish Democrats

Members of Congress
who support President
Obama’s trade deal
could face retaliation
come election time.
CATHLEEN DECKER

Organized labor suffered
an embarrassing loss in
California last month when
a defiant Democrat it had
targeted for years easily won
a state Senate seat over a
union-preferred candidate.
So it reveled in Friday’s
victory over President Obama on a trade measure that
inspired a battle for the
votes of Democratic House
members.
The trade fight was an
epic intraparty mudfest.
Unions, the party’s biggest
source of pavement-pounders and money, barraged
undecided House members
with phone calls, ads and
protests. Obama gathered
local television newscasters
to the White House to praise
the members he hoped
would side with him and
traveled to Capitol Hill for
some last-minute, and
ultimately unsuccessful,
arm-twisting.
The ferocity was still
being felt post-vote by the
few California Democrats
who thwarted labor amid
clear threats of retribution.
“It’s disappointing that
we had a few members vote
in a way that we would say
was against the interests of
working people in California,” said Steve Smith of the
state labor federation. “And
this is something we’re
going to remember.”
Retaliation is always
difficult to game out, but in
California it would come
with a twist: The members
labor is angriest at are
Democrats who barely won
their seats against strong
Republican challenges.
Damaging a candidate who
disagreed on one issue —
even a big one — runs a real
risk of turning a seat over to
a party labor disagrees with

almost all the time.
In theory, labor could
back candidacies by competing Democrats, but
they’d have to run against
incumbents who have spent
years building fundraising
networks and potentially
alienate fellow Democrats
for whom the trade bill is
not the most important
marker.
The tough decisions
ahead will come at a dicey
time for unions. Historically,
their fights have been waged
with Republicans, but in
recent years Democrats
have taken them on as
well.
In Los Angeles, former
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
earned enmity with his
budget proposals; current

Mayor Eric Garcetti won
election in 2013 by slaying his
opponent for her ties to a
public employee union. A
statewide Field Poll taken at
the end of 2013 found labor’s
popularity slumping, with
45% of Californians saying
unions were a force for harm
more than good, to 40%
defending them.
More trouble lies ahead:
Unions anticipate a 2016
ballot measure that would
give decision-making power
on new employee pensions
to voters, not the elected
officials who have remained
more loyal to labor than
have rank-and-file residents.
The fight between labor
and Obama was in one way
lopsided. Trade rarely in-

spires rapt supporters;
those who care about it are
more apt to be those threatened by labor agreements,
like the North American
Free Trade Agreement of
the 1990s. It is blamed by
unions today for the loss of
almost 90,000 California
jobs.
Echoing the argument
made then, Obama insisted
that new and better-paying
jobs would follow if he was
given authority to craft a
Pacific Rim trade deal.
California, he said, would
see its exports skyrocket
and its ports grow flush
with business. But his
party’s leaders did not fall
into line.
State Democratic Party
Chairman John Burton said

the notion of the treaty
“stinks to high heaven.”
Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris
asked supporters to add
their names to a list of those
objecting to “a reckless
rubber stamp” for Obama —
a list that she presumably
can use for her U.S. Senate
campaign.
In the end, only seven
California Democrats out of
32 in the House agreed to a
preliminary vote that was
part of the trade deal. Only
five — Reps. Ami Bera of the
Sacramento suburbs, Scott
Peters and Susan Davis of
San Diego, Jim Costa of the
Central Valley and the Central Coast’s Sam Farr —
voted to give the president
swift authority to make a
trade deal. The first one
failed and the second one
passed, and the House will
take the matter up again
this week.
The members of Congress who flouted labor’s
wishes said they were voting
their districts’ needs.
“I came to Congress to
put people before politics,”
Bera said in a statement,
adding that the trade act
will include labor and environmental protections “not
seen in any previous trade
authority bills.”
Peters emphasized that
Friday’s votes were on procedural matters, not on a
treaty itself.
“Our biotech and hi-tech
companies depend on exporting their goods, and as a
port city, San Diego depends on access to foreign
markets,” his statement
said. “But trade only works
if we set the rules. If we don’t
step up, someone else like
China will.”
Both men won narrowly
in 2014 and are targeted by
Republicans in 2016. Now
Democrats will have to
decide whether to aim at
them as well.
Smith, the labor federation spokesman, said
unions understand that
they need to persuade Californians about their heft on
issues like minimum wage
increases and sick-day pay
that accrue to “millions of

$

people across the state.”
And at the same time,
labor wants to remind politicians that they need to toe
the line.
“Look, we’re again
pleased that the vast majority of congressional Democrats did the right thing
today,” Smith said, just after
Friday’s vote. “We’ll worry
about the others later.”

‘Lowriders’ shooting on Eastside
block draws criticism from some
who call movie’s plot exploitative

and Councilman Curren Price before signing into law L.A.’s plan to raise its minimum wage to $15 by 2020.

Mayor’s signature marks
end of wage hike battle

By David Zahniser
Promising to provide relief for families enduring
“back-breaking
poverty,”
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti on Saturday signed
into law a measure raising
the citywide minimum wage
to $15 by 2020.
A crowd of more than 500
joined Garcetti in South Los
Angeles, where he predicted
the measure would help
more than 600,000 Angelenos pay their rent, provide
for their children and build
their savings accounts. The
measure, he said, would
serve as a national model.
“This is about the idea,
that American ideal, that
when someone works hard,
they should be able to support themselves, and they
should be able to support
their families,” he told the
crowd.
The wage ordinance is
the most ambitious policy
initiative of Garcetti’s first
term, which reaches the halfway mark July 1. The signing
ceremony, which featured
speeches from council members, labor leaders and lowwage workers, sounded at
some moments like a reelection campaign event. Garcetti also boasted of the
city’s rising employment
numbers, growing tourism
activity and construction of
five new rail lines.

ployees International Union
chapter that represents
home care employees, called
Garcetti “a champion for
workers” and said the wage
increase showed the city is
experiencing a “revolution of
values” and putting workers
first.
“For every young person
that has watched your
mother struggle to put food
on the table ... welcome to
the revolution,” she told the
audience.
The measure will take effect next month. But the
first increase won’t come until July 2016, when the citywide
hourly
minimum

moves to $10.50. The state’s
minimum wage is set to
reach $10 in January 2016, up
from the current $9.
The measure Garcetti
signed is somewhat different
from the one he unveiled
nine months ago. The mayor’s original plan called for
the minimum wage to reach
$13.25 in 2017. But the council
reworked the plan, ensuring
it will hit that amount in 2018
for businesses with 26 or
more employees and in 2019
for companies with 25 or
fewer workers.
It remains unclear how
many cities in Southern California will follow L.A.’s lead.

Of the 87 other cities in Los
Angeles County, only a few —
West Hollywood and Santa
Monica, for example — have
signaled their intent to pursue a similar wage increase.
Because the move to $15
will be phased in, businesses
won’t initially experience
major change, said researcher
Christopher
Thornberg. As the hourly
minimum approaches $15,
companies will start to consider moving to communities with lower minimum
wages that surround L.A., he
said. Thornberg analyzed
the potential effects of the
wage increase for the Los
Angeles Area Chamber of
Commerce, which opposed
the measure.
“This is a city that’s already behind, that’s already
fighting an uphill battle” in
the competition for jobs,
said Thornberg, founding
partner of the firm Beacon
Economics.
Garcetti attempted to
answer critics during the
signing ceremony, saying
that increasing the minimum wage had drawn support from business leaders
like Rick Caruso, the developer of the Grove shopping
center, and billionaire Eli
Broad.
“We would not have done
this,” Garcetti told the
crowd, “if we believed this
would hurt our economy.”

Socorro Arredondo was
thrilled when a film location
scout
approached
him
about two months ago asking to shoot scenes for a new
movie called “Lowriders” in
his El Sereno auto shop.
A film crew member described the movie as a tale
about a man, his traditionalist Latino father and his
gang-banger brother. Arredondo said he ended up
bonding with the film crew
and was paid for the days
they spent filming in his
shop, 3 C’s Car Automotive.
The shoot brought a slice of
Hollywood to Arredondo’s
Eastside neighborhood, and
he and his mechanics got to
snap photos with the movie’s stars, including actress
Eva Longoria.
Then, earlier this month,
a sign went up at the Eastside Cafe — a cultural and
educational space next door
— blasting the film for perpetuating stereotypes and
exploiting the mostly Latino
community.
“Eastside Cafe does not
support Low Rider exploitation film,” the sign read.
On Facebook, the cafe
criticized the film production for taking up parking
spaces and blocking traffic
and for painting “over a memorial mural that mourned
the death of a young boy of
our community.”
“We’re fighting on high
moral ground for respect for
the community,” said Roberto Flores, a coordinator
with Eastside Cafe. “They’re
selling our culture and they
never give anything back.”
But the conflict underscores how complicated labels like “community” can
be in working-class neighborhoods where aspiring
spokespeople are not always
in short supply.
“This was an opportunity
for El Sereno to be up there
in Hollywood, that’s the way
I looked at it,” Arredondo
said. “I just hope we don’t get
a bad impression of El Sereno and hopefully there’s a
part two of ‘Lowrider’ and
they won’t get scared away
from this controversy.”
The memorial mural that
was painted over had been
on a wall belonging to his
shop, he said, and the film
crew gave him money to pay
the artists who painted it
and other murals, and they
will be able to restore the art.
Next door to the Eastside
Cafe, at Mundo’s Upholstery
Shop, owner Porfirio Cantero said the film’s plot never
crossed his mind. But the

CHAT & SELFIE NAOMI HIRAHARA

On ramen noodles, Hello Kitty and gardeners

The main character in
many of Naomi Hirahara’s
mystery novels is a 70-something Japanese American
gardener who sleuths about
solving crimes in places like
downtown Los Angeles’
flower mart. The California
section’s Jason Song interrogated the author and
former editor of Rafu Shimpo at the Mitsuru Grill on
1st Street. We later emailed
her a few questions and
crunched the conversation
into this:
Rafu Shimpo? Did that
confuse people when you
called?
I introduced myself as
being from the Japanese
American daily newspaper
in L.A. Sometimes we got
mail addressed to Mr.
Shrimpo.
There weren’t many skater
shops or places called Ice
Cream Lab or Popkiller in
Little Tokyo when you were
at the paper in the ’90s.
What do you miss?
Running into the old
bachelors who lived in lowincome hotels like the Chetwood that were sprinkled
throughout Little Tokyo.

These men always had good
juicy stories to share and
were like my outrageous,
sweet uncles. The Japanese
American places of worship
and cultural/historic/social
service centers are still
there. The devoted community leaders and troublemakers, both old and young,
are still very emotionally
invested in Little Tokyo.

dener with his adolescent
daughter. I came close to
saying to her, “Hey, I was
you a long time ago,” but I
smiled instead. The girl said
that she liked my dog.
Do you think Mas Arai, the
gardener hero of one of
your series, could spruce
up downtown?
Mas has been into rock
gardens lately, so I think
that would be a nice addition to downtown.

Better ramen: S.F. or L.A.?
L.A., definitely. I’m more
of a Hakata Shin-Sen-Gumi
fan for both its noodles and
welcoming “irrashaimase”
when you walk through the
door. Old-school Kouraku
has my go-to mabo ramen.
Raymond Chandler described a Japanese man
starting a lawn “the way
Jap gardeners do.” What
else don’t you like about
Los Angeles’ iconic noir
novelist?
That he was the lone
white knight who was supposed to save us from the
frightening “other.” Look, I
get it — the 1940s was a
paranoid and uncertain
time, politically speaking.

Do you employ a Japanese
American gardener?
Our complex has two
wonderful older female

Robert Reed of the Brady

heart for gardeners — no

Hello Kitty isn’t a cat?
That’s what we’ve been
told by the Japanese American National Museum, and I
think it may be true. A cat
that doesn’t open its mouth,

desk? That’s no cat. That’s
why I have a dog.

shoot did cost him business,
he said, because it created a
parking crunch.
Cantero said he was
grateful when Flores told
him he was negotiating with
the film crew on compensating business owners for the
parking inconvenience.
“Roberto is a person who
did this for the rights of the
people,” Cantero said. “I see
him as a leader of the area.”
Flores said that the cafe
was taking “a stand against
the disrespect. Part of the
demand was compensation
for all small businesses.” But
Eastside Cafe ultimately decided to “refuse any compensation to emphasize that
our struggle was for respect
and justice.”
“People thought we were
trying to get money,” Flores
said. “We decided as a group
that we’re going to fight this
from a very firm, moral position. Even if offered, we are
not taking any money.”
But at Aguilera’s Barbershop around the corner, the
debate mirrored what happened last month when hiphop artist Pusha T spent a
day shooting a music video
at the business and used a
backyard.
The backyard is rarely
used by businesses, said
Juan Landeros, manager of
the barbershop, but Eastside Cafe asked the crew for
compensation for the inconvenience. They, along with a
few other businesses, received money.
Early this month, he said,
Flores came by the barbershop and asked if staff supported asking for $200 for every day of filming for businesses on the block. Landeros said the movie’s plot
didn’t come up.
“I don’t believe for a minute that they don’t want
money,” Landeros said.
“Idealistically I would have
liked to believe they were going for the social movement,
but the way they went about
it was not the right way....
For them to claim to be the
voice for us is offensive.”
Shortly after Eastside
Cafe went public with its
grievances, someone used
the Twitter account @filmcrewLA to tweet: “The Eastside Cafe apparently doesn’t
like Eva Longoria and her
film ‘Low Rider’ ... there
greedy.” The account has
since been shut down.
The Eastside Cafe and
the production have declined to go into details
about the conflict.
On Thursday, the nonprofit FilmL.A. spoke with
representatives for Eastside
Cafe and Here and Now, a
neighborhood shop, during
a meeting coordinated in
conjunction with Councilman Jose Huizar’s office.
“Now we know who to
reach out to when filming
comes to the area,” said Philip Sokoloski, a spokesman
for FilmL.A, an organization
that coordinates the on-location filming permit process. “We always try to make
sure we connect with business owners in the area. The
next time filming visits the
area, we’ll know the right
people to reach out to.”
But some business owners and residents said they
wonder if film crews will
think twice about coming.
“I don’t think they’ll come
back,” said Elaine Fermin,
who lives near where the
filming occurred. “Who
wants to be around people
who are so outrageous? It’s
ridiculous.”

The rehabilitated brown
pelicans waddled out of their
cages and into the surf at
Goleta
Beach,
slowly
stretching their wings after a
three-hour car ride from a
Los Angeles care center.
A large crowd of scientists, reporters and beachgoers gathered Friday to
watch the 10 pelicans return
to the wild, the first rescued
animals to be released after
thousands of gallons of oil
spilled along the Santa Barbara County coast last
month.
The pelicans began flapping their wings and took
flight over the ocean.
“They are home again,”

IN COMING weeks, the rest of more than 100 birds

and mammals rescued from the spill will be released.

veterinarian Christine Fiorello said.
The birds were among
hundreds of animals whose
coats, skin, beaks or appendages were damaged by
thick crude after a pipe
owned by Plains All American Pipeline ruptured on
May 19, spilling more than
100,000 gallons of oil into the

ocean and along the coastline.
In the coming weeks, the
remainder of the more than
100 birds and mammals rescued from the spill will be returned to the wild.
Another 260 dead birds
and mammals were found in
the spill area.
In all, 10 adult pelicans

were released after a team of
scientists from UC Davis’
Oiled Wildlife Care Network
spent three weeks cleaning
and nursing them back to
health in Los Angeles.
Five of the released pelicans were outfitted with
small solar-powered satellite trackers. The birds could
fly to the Channel Islands
or as far away as Baja Mexico, said Michael Ziccardi,
the director of the care network.
Ziccardi, who has responded to more than 50 oil
spills, said releasing healthy
animals “feels remarkable,
every time.”
The 10 birds flew about
100 yards off the beach and
gathered in a bunch on the
water.

children and families celebrating with new graduates

Attorney
Charmaine
Druyor said she was puzzled
when she received a notice
two weeks ago ordering her
to appear Friday in the
Westminster courtroom of
Judge Thomas Borris. It
concerned a man whose
charge of driving on a suspended license had been dismissed in 2012.
Druyor, a criminal defense attorney in Orange,
was listed in court files as the
attorney of record. But she
didn’t remember the supposed client’s name and
couldn’t find in her computer any sign that she had represented him.
The man, who was also
summoned to court Friday,
seemed confused as well.
“When he saw me he knew
for sure I wasn’t his attorney,” Druyor said.
It is one of scores of cases
Borris examined Friday as
part of a probe into recordtampering at the courthouse. The irregularities apparently included the use of
real lawyers’ names in cases
they never handled, with the
aim of making the charges
go away.
Borris told defendants
— who believed their cases
had been settled — to
show why their resolutions
shouldn’t be vacated. FBI

Lawmakers omit from
their state budget plan
a bill to defray costs
for property owners.
By Rong-Gong Lin II
and Rosanna Xia
A proposed state tax
credit to ease the burden of
seismically retrofitting vulnerable buildings failed to
make it out of a key committee in Sacramento this week,
calling its prospects into
question.
Senators on the Legislature’s Conference Committee, which reconciles Assembly and Senate budget proposals, chose not to include
the earthquake retrofit tax
credit in the budget they will
send to the governor, said
Dan Savage, chief of staff
to Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian (D-Sherman Oaks),
who introduced the legislation.
State Sen. Mark Leno (DSan Francisco), who chairs
the Senate Budget Committee, declined to comment on
the decision.
Nazarian’s
proposal
would give property owners
a 30% tax break on the cost
of the seismic retrofitting.
His staff insisted that, despite the setback, the proposal is not dead.
The Assembly version of
the tax break proposal, AB
428, passed last week, 78 to 0.
To reach a vote in the
Senate, it would need to get
through the Senate’s Governance and Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Bob
Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys),
and then the Appropriations Committee, chaired by
Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell
Gardens).
Nazarian said he plans to

keep fighting.
“We’re protecting life,”
he said. “We’re helping
strengthen property and,
third, we’re actually helping
incentivize at least a modicum amount of job growth in
the building industry.”
The tax credit idea has
been endorsed by the
mayors of Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Santa Monica. In Los
Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti has proposed new city
rules that would require the
retrofits of thousands of
concrete and wooden buildings.
“The physical threat of
death or injury from vulnerable buildings is real,” the
five mayors wrote to Leno.
Many apartments in Los
Angeles are in “soft-story
buildings” — wood-frame
structures that have flimsy
columns atop carports on
the ground floor. These
weak supports have col-

lapsed in previous earthquakes, sometimes killing
residents on the bottom
floor.
Under the bill, the tax
credit would be given to an
owner over a period of five
years after the retrofitting
was completed. For every
$100 owners spent on a qualified retrofit, they would receive a $30 break on income
or corporations taxes.
Work eligible for the tax
break would include retrofitting wood-frame apartment
buildings and concrete residential buildings, installing
automatic
gas
shut-off
valves, anchoring singlefamily homes to foundations
and installing quake-resistant bracing systems for mobile homes.
The tax credit would be
in effect from 2016 through
2020.
Nazarian has also separately asked budget negotiators to expand a program

that gives California homeowners grants of up to $3,000
to seismically retrofit singlefamily homes.
The Legislature’s Conference Committee approved a
$3-million-a-year increase
for two years.
The program, called
Brace and Bolt, is expected
to spend nearly $2 million on
grants that would help pay
for 650 homes to be retrofitted this year.
The program is available
in 28 ZIP Codes in the San
Francisco and Los Angeles
areas, and there are plans to
expand into additional
areas.
Single-family
homes
built before 1979 that have a
handful of above-ground
steps sometimes are not
bolted to their foundations
and can slide off during

sewer fee may rise

ants. The FBI, the Orange
County district attorney’s
office and court officials
would not discuss the
case.
“I’ve never seen anything
like this,” Druyor said.
“Someone falsified records.
We don’t know how many
[defendants] were victims
and how many were part of
the fraud.”
She said her supposed
client’s dismissal was vacated, and he was allowed to
plead guilty and pay a fine.
In some cases, the judge ordered warrants for the defendants’ arrest.
Lolita Kirk, a Santa Ana
criminal defense attorney,
received a notice to appear
before Borris concerning
three different defendants.
Court records indicated
they had been her clients,
but she told the judge she
had
never
represented
them.
In one case, she said,
court records indicated a
defendant had served time
in jail, but on Friday the
court called the jail and
found the defendant had
not. So the judge had the
defendant taken into custody.
Kirk speculated that
someone had been paid to
fix the records. “I don’t know
whether there’s a fraud being perpetrated against defendants,” she said. “It’s all
speculative.”
For the next two Fridays,
she said, Borris’ docket is
dominated by similarly recalled cases.

The drought is driving
down water use in Newport
Beach.
But a consequence of reduced use is a decline in revenue that would help fund
necessary improvements to
the municipal water system,
such as replacing aging
pipelines and sewer stations.
Ratepayers may be asked
to help close the gap.
City staff presented a
proposal to nearly double
wastewater rates for customers over the next five
years during a study session
last week. If approved, it
would be the first rate increase in nearly a decade.
Homes and businesses
that use water in Newport
Beach are charged in their
regular bills for wastewater
removal and treatment,
which includes sewage and
water from sinks and showers, known as “gray water.”
Newport Beach has been
identified as one of the
heaviest per-capita waterusing cities in the state.
Because customers are
using less water to comply
with standards set by the
State Water Resources Control Board, which recently
mandated that Newport reduce use by 28%, they are
also using less wastewater.
Reduced use means
lower bills for ratepayers but
a decline in revenue for the
city. And those declines are
expected to affect the city’s
wastewater enterprise fund,
which finances various improvements to the city’s water system, over the next several years.
In 2013, the city contracted with HF&H, an Irvine consulting firm, to
study wastewater and recycled water rates. Based on
the firm’s findings, the City
Council decided in June 2014
to halve the cost of recycled
water to ratepayers.
However, the study indicated that the city needs to
bulk up its wastewater fund
if it wants to pay for neces-

sary improvements to an aging system.
The projects are expected to cost roughly $30
million over the next 30
years.
The city is contributing
half a million dollars each
year to the improvements,
said George Murdoch, the
city’s utilities general manager.
HF&H projected that
the city will have to dip into
reserve money to fund the
projects, which are expected
to deplete $900,000 that the
city has in wastewater reserves by 2017.
“You can see where we’re
a little bit short,” Murdoch
said. “We’ve had an aggressive program, but we need to
step it up a bit.”
If the council eventually
approves the rate hike, it
would be the first increase
seen by ratepayers in nine
years, he said.
A typical single-family
home pays about $9.75 a
month for wastewater. The
proposal to increase the rate
structure would mean that
the same home would pay
$13.79 a month by the first
year, $16.27 by the third year
and $18.04 by the fifth.
Wastewater rates for
homes and businesses are
composed of a fixed fee, a
sewer charge and two additional surcharges of $2 a
month for each additional
house on the property and
$10 a month for customers
with larger water meters.
The proposal would
eliminate the surcharges
and move the cost to a
monthly fixed price for
sewer service based on the
size of the water connection
and sewer use charge, which
is a monthly fee for all customers based on water use.
Councilmen Scott Peotter and Kevin Muldoon
asked city staff to look into
the possibility of cutting
costs by outsourcing portions of the city’s wastewater
service. Thirteen employees
currently manage the city’s
wastewater.

sessments are not thorough
enough to conclude that
there are few health risks.
Last year, the Center for
Investigative Reporting, a
nonprofit news organization, detailed how the Department of Pesticide Regulation had for years been
granting exemptions that
let growers apply more 1,3Dichloropropene than allowed under the state’s limits. The department said
early last year it would stop

pesticides
that
exceed
health screening level standards and that their assessments have found that the
risk to children from fields
near schools is low for most
chemicals monitored.
But advocacy groups say
the department’s testing results confirm that pesticides
drift onto school grounds
and contend its scientific as-

issuing those exemptions.
State Sen. Hannah-Beth
Jackson (D-Santa Barbara)
had introduced legislation
that would require notification of schools and residents
in advance of pesticide applications, but it died in
committee last April amid
opposition from agricultural
interests.
In Ventura County, where
the agricultural industry is
one of the top employers,
some local officials are stopping short of endorsing such
changes.
Ventura County Supervisor John Zaragoza said, “My
biggest concern is about the
excessive use of dangerous
fumigants and the safety of
our children, teachers and
families.” But he is not convinced that additional restrictions are needed.
“What is safe for the
community without unfairly
regulating the industry?” he
said. “We need to create a
balance.”

LAA3341196-1

sors and other local officials
were incensed that they
didn’t find out until a few
months ago.
After receiving complaints from politicians and
school district officials, the
department held public
meetings in agricultural
communities around the
state to gather input for the
new regulations.
Growers and pesticide
applicators say that new restrictions will place expensive burdens on operations
already constrained by encroaching urban development and the most stringent
pesticide rules in the
nation.
“Today’s regulations are
working,” strawberry grower Bobby Jones said at a
hearing earlier this month in
the library of Rio Mesa High
School, where his family has
farmed the bulk of the surrounding land for three generations. There is not
enough evidence, he said,
“to support more regulations or restrictions based
on probability or potential
harm.”
Many counties have informal notification or userestriction agreements that
have been worked out
among local agricultural
commissioners,
growers
and school officials, according to the Department of
Pesticide Regulation. Some
individual pesticides are
also subject to state and
federal restrictions on use
near schools.
“We need a standardized,
minimum set of rules,” Department of Pesticide Regulation spokeswoman Charlotte Fadipe said.
Parents and community
groups, citing increased risk
of cancer, reproductive and
developmental
problems
that scientific studies have
associated with chronic pesticide exposure, are urging
the department to adopt
strict, comprehensive rules
that will bolster protections
for schoolchildren. They
want buffer zones of up to
one mile around schools and
48-hour advance notice of
pesticide applications.
Pesticide regulators have
downplayed
potential
health impacts and aren’t
indicating they intend to
craft such sweeping restrictions.
Pesticide regulators and
the state Air Resources
Board have collected four

grew up in a family of migrant farmworkers and now
handles campus security for
more than 2,000 students at
Rio Mesa High School.
Like most states, California has no comprehensive
restrictions on pesticide use
near schools and does not
require growers to notify
school officials and parents
when they are applied. For
decades, the state Department of Pesticide Regulation has left such decisions
up to county agricultural
commissioners, resulting in
a patchwork of informal
agreements that vary dramatically from county to
county.
Last
year,
Ventura
topped a California Department of Public Health list as
the county with the most
children attending schools
within a quarter mile of the
heaviest pesticide use.
The county has, for years,
been a hot spot for environmental justice concerns,
among them federal civil
rights complaints from local
families alleging that the
state discriminated against
Latino schoolchildren, exposing them to disproportionately high levels of pesticides. According to the public health department report, Latino children in
California were 91% more
likely than white children to
go to schools near the highest pesticide use.
The agricultural pesticides used most near
schools, and most likely to
be affected by new regulations, are fumigants, gases
that are injected into the soil
before planting to protect
strawberries,
almonds,
sweet potatoes and other
crops from pests and disease. The two main fumigants of concern are cancercausing
1,3-Dichloropropene and chloropicrin, a
tear-gas-like
compound
that causes skin irritation,
coughing and headaches.
In 2011, the Department
of Pesticide Regulation began conducting year-round
air quality monitoring to assess chronic health risks
posed by agricultural pesticides drifting into surrounding communities. Starting
that year, a monitor stationed at Rio Mesa High
School detected levels of 1,3Dichloropropene above the
department’s standards for
cancer risk. County supervi-

OBITUARIES
ROGER VERGÉ , 1930 - 2015

Led the nouvelle cuisine movement
By Elaine Woo

R

oger Vergé, one of
the first superstar chefs whose
light, fresh and
artfully
plated
food turned his restaurant
near Cannes, France, into a
landmark of French gastronomy and a beacon of
nouvelle cuisine, has died.
He was 85.
Vergé, whose Le Moulin
de Mougins earned three
Michelin stars within five
years of its 1969 opening,
died June 5 in Mougins, according to the Associated
Press. The cause was not
given.
With his thick mustache
and matinee idol charm,
Vergé was, as the influential
restaurant guide Gault-Millau described him, “the very
incarnation of the great
French chef for foreigners.”
Along with Paul Bocuse,
Michel Guerard and the
Troisgrois brothers, Vergé
freed French cuisine from
the rules that had defined it
for a hundred years, abandoning heavy sauces, strong
marinades and long cooking
times for a simpler approach
that emphasized the natural
flavors of food.
Strongly influenced by
the herbs, spices and sunripened vegetables of Provence and his extensive travels in Africa and Jamaica, he
called his approach “Cuisine
of the Sun,” which was also
the name of his first cookbook.
His culinary style, he
wrote, was “the antithesis of
cooking to impress — rich
and pretentious. It is a lighthearted, healthy and natural way of cooking which
combines the products of
the earth like a bouquet of
wild flowers from the gar-

Mougins restaurant near Cannes, France, in 1987.
den.”
His kitchen was a training ground for a number of
celebrated chefs who later
brought their talents to this
country, among them David
Bouley, Hubert Keller, Alain
Ducasse and Daniel Boulud.
“What did I learn with
Vergé? Better to ask, What
didn’t I learn? Every one of
my cooking skills was
honed,” the New York-based
Boulud wrote in his memoir,
“Letters to a Young Chef.”
Vergé brought his ideas
to America in the mid-1970s
when he and other leading
practitioners of the new
French gastronomy gave
classes in Napa Valley as
California cuisine was evolving along similar lines. Later,
with his friends Bocuse and
Gaston Lenotre, he operated restaurants in the French
Pavilion at Disney World in
Orlando, Fla.
Le Moulin de Mougins,
however, remained the

touchstone. Located in a
converted 16th-century olive
oil mill across the road from
one of Pablo Picasso’s
homes, it quickly became a
pilgrimage spot for gourmands and a favorite of celebrities visiting the annual
Cannes Film Festival. It
earned three Michelin stars
in rapid succession, in 1970,
1972 and 1974. In 1977, with his
wife, Denise, he opened a
second restaurant, L’Amandier de Mougins, and a cooking school.
The son of a blacksmith,
Vergé was born on April 7,
1930, in Commentry, a village
in central France. He was
one of nine children in a family that loved food.
“One of my grandfathers
would wake up at 4 a.m.,
drink a cup of black coffee,
and eat a whole roast chicken,” he once told Julia Child
who recounted her conversation with the chef in “My
Life in France,” her 2006 au-

tobiography. “Then he’d
drink a second cup of coffee
and eat a second chicken.
Mind you, this was before
breakfast, just to start the
day right … and every day,
too!”
Vergé’s first and most influential teachers in the
kitchen were his mother and

especially his aunt, who
spent the whole day Sunday
preparing food. His book
“Roger Verge’s Vegetables in
the French Style” (1994), is
an homage to the two women, whose fricassee of spring
vegetables, he wrote, “represents all the happiness that
life can afford.”
At 17, Vergé was apprenticed to a local chef, then
continued his culinary education at two of Paris’ temples of haute cuisine, La
Tour D’Argent and Plaza
Athenee. Eager to explore
other cuisines, he spent
more than a decade cooking
his way through the Caribbean and Africa.
When he returned to
France, he fused the flavors
of the countries he visited
with those of his own. Boulud recalled making Vergé’s
lamb shoulder with Provencal herbs and Middle Eastern accents of star anise,
cinnamon and orange peel.
His travels abroad also inspired him to use fresh fruits
in savory dishes, such as his
appetizer of hot oysters with
orange pieces and orange

butter.
Still, Vergé “could not
have come from anywhere
but France,” wrote Child,
who became a close friend.
He was “a quintessential example of what a true chef
should be ... the kind of dedicated cuisinier that had so
inspired my love of France
and its food.”
He offended American
chefs in 1985 when, at a benefit in New York, he said new
American cooking “looks
Japanese: large dishes,
small portions, no taste, but
very expensive.”
He later explained that
his remarks were aimed at
the excesses of nouvelle cuisine on both sides of the Atlantic. “Everywhere, people
just want to make something new,” he said in Nation’s Restaurant News.
“But some places just don’t
do it correctly.”
Vergé, who ran Le Moulin
for three decades, retired in
2003. His survivors include
his wife, three daughters and
three grandchildren.

obert Sherwood
Morse, a dissident clergyman
who objected to
changes in traditional Episcopalian practice
and urged fellow religious
conservatives to leave a
mainstream he likened to
the Biblical “fleshpots of
Egypt,” has died. He was 91.
Morse, who helped found
and was selected as archbishop of what became
known as the Anglican Province of Christ the King, died
of pancreatic cancer May 28
at his home in Berkeley, according to Monty Stanford, a
spokesman for the San
Francisco-based organization.
Though small next to the
mainstream
Episcopal
Church of the USA, the province has 46 parishes across
the U.S., including 16 in California.
One of a number of
breakaway groups, it had its
roots in dissatisfaction expressed by Morse and other
clergymen over what they
saw as unsettling theological changes in the church to
which they had committed
themselves. In 1976, Morse
told The Times that a million congregants had left
Episcopalianism in the previous 10 years, upset by prospective revisions in the 1928
Book of Common Prayer
and the possibility of ordaining women as priests.
The church approved female priesthood at a Minneapolis conclave in September 1976. The following year,
Morse and other outraged
Episcopalian leaders gathered more than 1,700 followers in St. Louis to lay the
groundwork for a new
church.
In a fiery sermon titled
“The Long March into the
Desert,” Morse told the
group that the mainstream
church had “abandoned the
family and given its people
stones and scorpions in-

stead of bread to strengthen
men’s hearts.”
“Our Church has been
stripped over the years, in
general convention following general convention, of
any and all moral standards
with which we can deal with
the gamut of modern moral
issues running from divorce
to demonology!”
Morse faced discipline in
ecclesiastical courts for his
opposition to women priests
— a position, he said in interviews, that did not reflect his
views on women’s rights.
“What
people
don’t
understand about the whole
concept of the ordination of
women is that it was never
a question of equality but of
theology,” he told Insight
magazine in 1992. “The notion has always been of Jesus
as the bridegroom and the
church as his bride. You simply cannot have Jesus as the
bride.”
Born April 10, 1924, in San
Francisco, Morse grew up in
the suburb of Burlingame
and served in the Army Signal Corps in World War II.
A graduate of Pacific College (now University of the
Pacific) in Stockton, he attended
Seabury-Western
Theological Seminary in
Chicago and was ordained a
priest in 1951.
As a student, he got to
know Alan Watts, an Episco-

pal priest who left the
church and later became a
popular author and lecturer
on Zen Buddhism.
In his1972 memoir, “In My
Own Way,” Watts praised
Morse for his “irrepressible
and perfectly unmalicious
humor” and described him
as “one of the few people
who genuinely believe that
God is exuberant love.”
Morse held posts at
churches in the Bay Area,
and established Episcopal
chaplaincies at both Stanford and UC Berkeley. He
also helped found the York
School, an Episcopal prep
school for boys in Monterey,
and from 1966 to 1984, was
rector of St. Peter’s Church
in Oakland.
He also established a
seminary in Berkeley and
rented rooms to members of
the university’s crew team.
Five weeks before his death,
he ceremonially poured
champagne over the team’s
new boat, which was named
in his honor.
Morse is survived by his
wife, Nancy Burkett Nickel,
whom he married in 1957;
children Nina Gladish and
John Nickel; nine grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

“It seems as if the sheriffs
are having a problem with
training,” Berns said. “What
you do subconsciously is a
matter of training.”

An adjustment

For two decades, L.A.
County sheriff ’s deputies
carried the Beretta 92F, a
heavy metal gun with a large
grip.
People with small hands
often have trouble flipping
up the Beretta’s safety as
they prepare to fire. The first
shot requires 12 to 15 pounds
of pressure on the trigger,
forcing some to use two fingers and reducing shooting
accuracy for many. Subsequent shots take about 4
pounds of pressure.
The M&P is made of
lightweight polymer, with a
hand grip that comes in
three sizes. Firing a round is
as simple as pulling the trigger with a consistent 6 to 8
pounds of pressure.
Sheriff ’s deputies have
the option of sticking with
the Beretta, and some have,
saying they are used to it.
But many who have switched to the M&P say their
shooting has improved.
“At first, I thought, ‘No
way, I’m keeping my Beretta
forever,’ ” said Sgt. Mike
Rafter, a firearms instructor.
“Then I started shooting,
and it’s a lot nicer. I can
shoot better, and I’m more
confident.”
Academy trainees began
receiving M&Ps in 2011 and
the rest of the department
began gradually switching
to the new gun soon after.
About half of sworn personnel are now using the M&P
and more are changing over.
As more deputies converted
to the M&P, accidental discharges rose.
In 2012, there were 12 accidental discharges, none involving the M&P. In 2013,
there were 18, eight of which
were M&Ps. Of the 30 incidents in 2014, 22 involved
M&Ps.
Assistant Sheriff Todd
Rogers attributed the increase to deputies still adjusting to the lack of a safety
on the new gun.
“The vast majority were
people trained on the Beretta,” Rogers said. “There
is a correlation, no doubt
about it.”
A Beretta spokesperson
did not return a phone call
seeking comment. A spokesperson for Smith & Wesson
said the company does not
speak publicly about the
weapons it supplies to law
enforcement.

Accidents on duty

Many of the accidental
M&P discharges in 2014 occurred while deputies were
on duty, often on the street
or in homes during searches.
In one December incident, a
sheriff ’s deputy in Compton
approached a car he
thought might have been
stolen. The occupants had

already run off. As he walked
up with his M&P drawn to
make sure there was no one
else inside, he accidentally
pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit the driver’s
side door. There were bystanders nearby, but no one
was injured.
A month earlier, a Lancaster deputy was following
a driver he suspected of having a gun. When the man got
out and walked toward the
patrol car, the deputy took
off his seat belt and was pulling out his M&P when he
fired it into his own thigh. He
was the only person injured
that year, but in other cases,
civilians or other deputies
were nearby and could have
been hit.
In a Walnut-area house in
January 2014, a deputy accidentally fired a round into
the ceiling when a golf bag
fell on his hand. Another
deputy was in the room at
the time.
When a deputy tripped
over a stroller and fired a
round through a wall in October 2014, there was another
deputy nearby, with more
deputies and a civilian else-

where in the Huntington
Park house.
The NYPD custom-rigs
its handguns with a heavier
trigger pull to reduce the risk
of accidents. Prosecutors argue that rookie Officer Peter
Liang broke a key safety rule
by resting his finger on the
trigger of his Glock while patrolling a Brooklyn housing
project on Nov. 20. As Liang
pushed open a stairwell
door, he fired a bullet that fatally struck Akai Gurley, 28,
who was walking down the
stairs. Liang’s attorney has
said that his client shot the
gun accidentally.
Shortly after the LAPD
switched from Berettas to
Glocks a decade ago, Officer
Enrique Herrera Chavez
was shot in the back by his
3-year-old son. Chavez was
driving on July 10, 2006, when
the boy found his father’s
Glock under the vehicle’s
center console and discharged a round, rendering
Chavez a paraplegic.
Chavez’s lawsuit was dismissed in 2010, but an appeals court ruled that a jury
should hear many of the former police officer’s argu-

L.A. County sheriff ’s deputies learning to shoot the
Beretta were taught to rest a
finger on the trigger as soon
as they took aim. The mantra was “on target, on trigger.”
With M&Ps and Glocks,
the trigger finger should stay
on the side of the gun until
the last moment.
To combat the rise in accidental discharges, deputies are now required to pass
a marksmanship test four
times a year instead of three
and to take a course designed to break old Beretta
habits. Those who have accidentally discharged their
weapons are typically required to repeat training.
“We call them training
scars,” Rogers said. “It’s
muscle memory. And especially in stressful situations,
people revert to their training.”
Richard Fairburn, a firearms expert who works for
a law enforcement agency in
Illinois, called the M&P a
“more modern weapon” that
enables more officers to
shoot well. But, he said, the
lighter trigger pull and lack
of a safety could result in
more accidental discharges
if the new habits aren’t
drummed into deputies
through rigorous training.
“If you still have your finger on the trigger when you
put it in your holster, you’ll
end up with a stripe on your
leg,” Fairburn said.
The LAPD recently began issuing M&Ps after using Glocks since 2005, said
Lt. Dana Berns, who heads

Candidate’s accuser admits lie
[DeMaio, from B1]
by DeMaio.
Todd Bosnich, 29, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of
obstruction of justice by lying to the FBI about the
email.
During the campaign,
Bosnich had told reporters
that he was ’’positive” that
the email came from DeMaio
or someone close to him. He
told federal investigators
that DeMaio would often
send emails and Twitter
messages “using alias accounts.”
But in his guilty plea,
Bosnich admitted that he
sent the email himself
through a dummy Yahoo account and then took the
email to the Peters campaign, which turned it over
to the San Diego Police Department.
Bosnich’s actions “had
the potential to affect a national election,” said Assistant U.S. Atty. Phil Halpern.
“Mr. Bosnich, for whatever
reason, had a great deal of
hostility and personal animus toward Mr. DeMaio. As
a result of his feeling aggrieved, Bosnich wanted to
get back at Mr. DeMaio.”
A plea bargain signed by
Bosnich and federal prosecutors states that the email
was meant to support Bosnich’s
allegation
that
DeMaio had touched him inappropriately and masturbated in front of him.
Bosnich claimed he left
as the campaign’s policy director because of DeMaio’s
alleged sexual misconduct

and that DeMaio had offered
him $50,000 to keep quiet.
After the allegations were
made public, DeMaio said
Bosnich had been fired after
sending out an inaccurate
and plagiarized piece of
campaign
literature.
DeMaio denied any sexual
misconduct or offering to
buy Bosnich’s silence.
The federal investigation
that resulted in the obstruction of justice charge did not
involve
determining
whether the sexual allegations were factual.
Bosnich’s
attorney,
Frank Vecchione, said that
his client “is accepting responsibility and wants to
move on with his life.”
The race to represent the
52nd District, which includes a northern slice of
San Diego and the cities of
Poway and Coronado, was
costly and nasty.
Peters,
56,
stressed
DeMaio’s reputation for divisiveness and blasted him
as a tea party follower;
DeMaio said Peters was too
liberal for San Diego and
had proven ineffective in
Congress. Peters won by a
margin of 3.2%.
DeMaio, 40, who lost a

race for mayor in 2012, is now
a radio talk-show host in San
Diego. He is also attempting
to lead a statewide campaign in favor of reforming
pensions for public employees, his signature issue
while serving on the City
Council.
After Bosnich pleaded
guilty, DeMaio issued a
statement that said that
“Bosnich’s lies were incredibly painful, smeared my
reputation and derailed our
congressional campaign.... I
also want to thank the thousands of supporters who
stood by me and saw this disgusting smear for what it
was.”
Peters, DeMaio said,
“shares responsibility for
promoting Bosnich’s smears
and lies for political gain.”
In response, Peters said,
“Someone came to us alleging sexual harassment by
Mr. DeMaio; we took everything to the police and they
thanked us for it. [DeMaio]
was accused by two people
from his own operation. He’s
the one who needs to take
some responsibility.” Peters
was citing a second sexual
misconduct allegation by a
former staff member that

was made two days before
the election.
Bosnich could face a
maximum sentence of 20
years in prison and a
$250,000 fine when he is sentenced Aug. 31. As part of the
plea bargain, the U.S. attorney’s office has agreed not to
recommend that the judge
sentence Bosnich to prison.
Richard Grenell, media
advisor to the DeMaio campaign, criticized the media,
including the Los Angeles
Times and CNN, for reporting on the allegations:
“These same reporters
should now hold Team Peters accountable for their
dirty tricks or risk encouraging more ugly politics because a campaign gets away
with it.”
Carl Luna, political science professor at San Diego
Mesa College, called the incident “another tawdry chapter in San Diego politics.
Sometimes I think this town
is trying out for a recurring
role on ‘Scandal,’ ” the television series about hardball
politicking in Washington.
The Peters campaign
“tarnished itself by becoming part of the narrative for
unproven allegations,” Luna
said. But he doubted that
the allegations cost DeMaio
the election.
“In our polarized elections, it takes a lot more than
allegations and innuendo to
get someone not to vote for
their side,” he said.

the firearms and tactics section. The department did
not provide accidental discharge statistics in response
to requests by The Times.
But Berns said he did not believe the department had a
problem when officers made
the transition to the Glock,
and none is expected with
the M&P because it is similar to the Glock.
Unlike sheriff ’s deputies,
LAPD officers were trained
to carry the Beretta with the
safety off because flipping it
was cumbersome and could
result in the gun firing too
late, or not firing at all, in
dangerous situations.
The key to preventing ac-

The M&P appears to
have fulfilled its promise
on one front: More women
are making it into the department. The percentage
of female recruits who failed
the firearms test has
plunged from 6.4% to less
than 1%.
Pass rates are up across
the board, not just for women. With the Beretta, more
than 60% of trainees in one
academy class needed extra
firearms training. Ten out of
80 or so trainees in another
class flunked because of the
shooting test.
With the M&P, the class
with the worst shooting results sent only 17% of trainees to remediation, and only
three failed.
Susan Paolino, whose
1980 gender discrimination
lawsuit against the Sheriff ’s
Department resulted in a
landmark consent decree,
said female deputies should
be held to the same standards as men. But she supports new equipment that
can help them meet those
standards.
About 18% of sheriff ’s
deputies are women.
“If it’s something that’s
not going to let them lower
the standards, where they
still have to have the skill but
shoot better with a gun that
fits their hand, that’s great,”
Paolino said.

Mahler, emily

Sandra Steele Fastnow, Sandi to her
friends, Bam to her beloved grandkids,
and Sunshine to generations of local
Girl Scouts, passed peacefully away on
June 11, 2015.
Sandra Marie Steele was born in
1940 to Horace and Evelyn Steele of
Long Beach, CA. She attended Pomona
College where she met her husband
to be, Jeff Fastnow, over a dissected
frog in Biology. Sandi withdrew from
college to marry Jeff in 1960. Sandi
returned to Pomona to finish her
Bachelor of Science degree in 1990,
and continued studying, graduating
in 1996 with a Masters of Science
in Botany from Claremont Graduate
School.
Sandi spent much of her adult
life raising her four daughters, and
was very involved in the Girl Scout
organization. She served as troop
leader for her girls, Service Unit
Chairman for thousands of San Marino
Scouts, and in many other capacities.
She was awarded numerous Volunteer
Recognition awards, including the
Thanks Badge, the “highest award an
adult Girl Scout Volunteer can earn”
in 2005 and the Thanks II Badge in
2007 for her lifelong devotion to Girl
Scouting. “Sunshine” loved SongFests
and SongShares and remained active
in Scouting until illness prevented her.
Sandi was also active in San Marino
schools, supported IORG (Rainbow
Girls) and was a member of Las
Marianas auxiliary of the Assistance
League of Pasadena. She worked
as manager of Treasure Fair Thrift
Shop for several years and also at
PARAID, precursor to the Pasadena
Community Fund. She enjoyed many
creative hobbies, including sewing,
gardening and quilting, and cared for
a menagerie of animals over the years.
Her most notable contribution to
her community was her caretaking of
the San Marino Girl Scout House, with
her dear friend and mentor, Sylvia
Wikle. Under their leadership, the
Hill-Harbison House (re-named for
its 1930s founders) was incorporated
into a non-profit, retrofitted to meet
current codes and will serve the
community for decades to come. The
main meeting room was dedicated
as the Fastnow Room in her honor. In
2001, Sandi and Sylvia were honored
as Paul Harris Fellows by the Rotary
Club of San Marino, in recognition of
their “outstanding commitment to
the community” for their efforts at
Hill-Harbison House.
Sandi and Jeff found a retreat in
Lake Arrowhead in 1979. There they
created a warm, welcoming home for
family and friends for the last 35 years.
“There’s Always Room for One More” is
the guiding principle of the cabin. Our
annual Thanksgiving weekends with
our growing families are some of our
most cherished memories.
Sandi is survived by her devoted
husband of over 54 years, Jeff,
daughters Kathi Fastnow-Dirkse
(Mark), Beth DuVall, Peggy Chase
(Brent), Chris Fastnow (Greg Adams)
and grandchildren Wyatt and Claire
DuVall, Lindsey and Holly Chase,
Elizabeth and Cammie Dirkse, and
Miles and Quinn Fastnow. Also, brother
Stan Steele, sister-in-law Janet and
their family, and nephew Brien Cook
and family. We will profoundly miss
her generosity of spirit, wisdom and
boundless love, all of which she shared
with us unsparingly.
We would like to thank the staff at
Villa Gardens for their outstanding care
for the past five years. A memorial
to Sandi will be held Saturday, June
20, 2015 at 1:30 PM at San Marino
Congregational Church with a
reception following at Hill-Harbison
House (1841 Alhambra Rd, San
Marino.) In lieu of flowers, a donation
to the Hill-Harbison Foundation (2275

CA 91108) or your favorite charity
benefitting children or animals is
suggested.

Emily Ortega Mahler, of Brea,
California, formerly of Huntington Park
and Los Angeles, CA, died peacefully in
her sleep on June 3, 2015. Born June
27, 1927, she is predeceased by her
parents Emilio C. and Mary Magdalene
(Bustamante) Ortega of Huntington
Park, CA and her late husband of 56
years, Robert A. Mahler of Los Angeles,
CA. Emily is survived by her sister
Evelyn (Ortega) Sheppard of Placentia,
CA; son Robert Mahler of Moscow, ID;
son Blake Mahler of Rancho Santa
Margarita, CA; son Lance (Kerry)
Mahler of La Habra, CA; daughter
Vicke (Tom) Helmer of Greenwood
Village, CO; six grandchildren; and
three great-grandchildren. Emily went
to St. Matthias elementary school in
Huntington Park and to Huntington
Park High School. She graduated from
the University of Southern California
in 1949. After completing her degree
and while Bob was in the service she
taught school in small California towns
including Maricopa and Susanville.
Later she taught in several junior
high and high schools in the Los
Angeles School District. After many
years in the classroom her energies
were spent raising four children that
included involvement in supporting
organizations such as the PTA, Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts. As her children
matured she changed emphasis and
became a professional volunteer. Emily
was especially proud of being a Trojan
(USC). She always supported her alma
mater. She was a charter member of
Trojan Guild, an important support
group for USC, and served on many
committees within the University.
She has been a USC football season
ticket holder since 1967. She will
miss tail-gating, traveling to South
Bend for the great rivalry between
USC and Notre Dame, and going to
all of the home football games at the
Coliseum. She is especially proud that
two of her children, Vicke and Blake
are USC graduates along with her
son-in-law Tom. Over the past 20+
years she has volunteered one day a
week at the USC Norris Cancer Center.
Many of her best friends were met
either in school at USC or at events that
supported the institution. Emily was
a professional volunteer and always
a member of “something.” The more
important “somethings” included
the Mother Goose Guild support
organization to Children’s Hospital
of Orange County (CHOC), several
chapters of the American Association
of University Women (AAUW), and
Friends of California State University,
Fullerton. Over the years she received
dozens of awards for her efforts. In
1984 she received Brea’s first “Woman
of the Year” award. Emily and her
husband Bob were world travelers.
They were able to visit all seven
continents. She took tens of thousands
of pictures to document her travels.
Some of her favorite trips took her
China, Antarctica, safaris in Africa, the
Andes of South America and to Spain.
Her last trip in 2014 was a Panama
Canal cruise. Emily was always proud
of her California family history. The
Ortega’s, originally from northern
Spain, have been in California for
eight generations. Her great, great,
great grandfather discovered San
Francisco Bay as a scout for the Portola
Expedition. She had relatives who are
buried at 17 of California’s 21 missions.
The Ortega Highway in Orange County
is named for her family and her father,
Emilio, founded the California-based
Ortega Chili Company in the 1920’s.
Many of those original products
including Snap-E-Tom and canned
green chilies are still on the market
today. In college she wrote a history
of this distinguished family. Being
a catholic was always an important
part of Emily’s identity. After marrying
Bob she became a parishioner of St.
Raphael’s in south-central Los Angeles
where her children attended school. In
addition to being active at St. Raphael
she served as the school’s kindergarten
teacher twice. She was a member of St.
Angela Merici parish in Brea, California
for the last 48 years. Her faith has
allowed her to look forward to again
seeing her husband Bob, parents
Emilio and Mary, nephew Michael and
many good friends who left before her
on the other side of life, as we know
it. Emily’s life will be celebrated with
a funeral mass on Tuesday June 16th
at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church in
Brea, California at 11:00 am. A rosary
will precede this service at 10:30 am.
Any inquiries about Emily should be
addressed to her oldest son, Robert, at

LoveLace, capt. Paul
chaffee , USN (ret.)

June 18, 1915 - May 27, 2015

Last of the great
Southern gentlemen,
Paul was born in Marion,
Alabama (just 16
miles from Selma) to Ruby and Paul
Lovelace. He won an appointment
to the United State Naval Academy
graduating in the class of 1938 at the
beginning of World War II.
Paul served on ships on both
coasts until entering Naval Aviation
in 1944. He commanded a Carrier
Attack Squadron of Torpedo planes
till 1950, moving to jet fighters flying
off Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. From
1958 he worked on Atomic Weapons
plans for the US Pacific Fleet, retiring
in 1962 after 28 years in the Navy to
earn his MBA at George Washington
University. At Northrop Corporation he
continued with air-to-ground missile
development till leaving to gain his
certifications in real estate, mutual
and stock funds and taxes.
In 1949 Paul married Ann
Blake Graves of Spokane. Her first
husband had been killed in the war
so Paul and Ann raised her son Bruce
who served as a Marine Captain in
Vietnam. Working in real estate for
23 years with properties in several
states, they settled in their Westwood
home apartment cooperative in 1972
where Paul became Chairman and
President of the Wilshire Ardmore
Corp. overseeing a full sellout and
revitalizing operations. He continued
to serve 15 more years on the Board.
Paul and Ann enjoyed travels to Italy,
he joined the early PLATO Society of
UCLA, and took up golfing.
Paul’s main church was
Brentwood Presbyterian where he
taught 6th grade Sunday School
(an “experience!”), and served as
Elder, Deacon, Usher, education
Superintendent over 44 years. His
passion was Judaic, Christian and
Islamic Studies with both the San
Francisco Theological Seminary and
the UCLA Academy.
In 2003 their son Bruce died and
Ann died the next year after 55 years

football. He completed his education
on the GI Bill at the University of
Southern California, graduating in

He was grateful for the worldwide
friends and associates with whom he
worked throughout his career.
Following his retirement, he and
Diane moved back to Newport Beach
where he was active with USC alumni
groups, and was an enthusiastic
supporter of USC athletics including
the Scholarship Club. Con and Diane
loved to travel and were fortunate to
travel to many parts of the world.

need. Con served on the Orange
County YMCA Board of Directors, and
was Past President, USC Associated
Alumni Clubs, Past President, St. Mark
Church Board of Trustees, Chairman,

Readers’ help makes the water flow

[Lopez, from B1]
man, who cut the bath short
fearing she’d nod off and
drown, and my follow-up column would have to be an
obituary.
Tillman had recently
strained her back lugging 5gallon jugs of water through
her house for cooking and
cleaning, so the good Samaritans brought welcome
relief.
“Oh my gosh, it’s unbelievable,” said Tillman during one of my visits to deliver
donations. “For people to be
so touched by someone
else’s plight and want to
help, that’s amazing.”
Two of those people, Tom
and Betsy Coleman of the
Palos Verdes Peninsula, sent
a donation and an observation. They had studied their
own water bill and determined that their cost for water was less than one cent
per gallon. (DWP puts the
first-tier cost at six-tenths of
a penny.) So the Colemans
encouraged Mrs. Tillman to
fill her jugs at a neighbor’s
home rather than pay $1.25,
or 25 cents a gallon, at the
vending machine she’d been
using.
Mrs. Tillman told me she
had tried that very thing, but
a neighbor wasn’t very cooperative, and she didn’t want
to impose on others. So she
kept refining her conservation methods, learning how
to get by on just under 50 gallons a week, and vowing never to waste a drop of water if
her service was restored.
The Colemans do their
own part to conserve. Even
though water is cheap —
unless DWP screws up your

Mel Melcon Los Angeles Times

AFTER NINE MONTHS WITHOUT, Doris Tillman has running water again thanks to donations from

readers. “For people to be so touched by someone else’s plight and want to help, that’s amazing,” she said.

bill, as it has for many customers — the Colemans
treat it like every drop is precious, very much aware of
the drought and the fact
that millions of people in the
world have no access to safe
running water.
“My husband and I are
very, very water conscious.
He puts huge trash barrels
out when it rains,” said Betsy, who uses recycled water
for irrigation and flushing
toilets. “We’ve been recycleconscious for all our married
lives, and we’ve been mar-

ried 53 years. ... We feel like
that’s our responsibility as
people.”
There may soon be even
more of a financial incentive
to conserve, too. The DWP is
talking about raising rates
to pay for the repair of rupturing water lines and other
needs, and greater forces in
California and beyond might
also jack up the cost of water.
“To me, it’s inevitable in a
world with a growing population that we’re going to
have to start thinking about
water more and more the

way we look at every other
good — that it’s a valuable
commodity and we need to
pay more for it,” said Frank
Wolak, professor of commodity price studies at
Stanford University.
If you’re looking for ways
to beat higher costs and get
by on less water, check out
GreywaterAction.org
for
tips on how to green your
house.
“We use the same quality
water for everything, and
that doesn’t make any
sense,” said Greywater’s

Laura Allen.
She’s right. We use the
same highly purified water
to drink, flush the toilet,
wash the car and water the
bougainvillea. Allen gave
one example of how to avoid
that. For about $200, she
said, and without taking out
permits, a homeowner can
legally rig a system that uses
washing machine water to irrigate a garden with a drip
line instead of letting all that
water go down the drain.
But don’t try this if you
don’t know what you’re do-

ing. Marty Adams of DWP
said he’s all for taking a
bucket into the shower and
then using it to water the
garden, but when you mess
with plumbing, you have to
make sure non-potable water doesn’t get sucked into
the potable water lines and
present a health hazard.
Doris Tillman, whose
misfortune has turned her
into an accidental authority
on conservation, shared a
few pointers:
8 After boiling an egg, add
bleach and soap to the water
and make your own cleaning
agent.
8 Use a dish pan instead
of filling the sink, and preclean dishes and cookware
with towels so food particles
don’t dirty the pan. Then use
the water again in the garden.
8 If you make pasta or boil
potatoes, reuse the water for
steaming vegetables, and
then reuse it again for watering plants.
Mrs. Tillman, a volunteer
at her church, is still trying
to get a clothing and crafts
business established to keep
up with her bills. Readers
who have asked me about
purchasing goods can contact her at dorisjtillman596
@gmail.com.
She’ll be busy for a while,
though, making shoulder
sling water bottle carriers
for all the readers who sent
her a donation.
“That’s what I’m going to
do,” she said. “A ‘thank you’
is not enough. It’s just not
enough.”

DRONE ZONE

California firms are jumping into the commercial drone business, but
the small unmanned planes are mostly being built outside the country

A

By W.J. Hennigan and Melody Petersen

s the largest American
maker of consumer
drones, 3D Robotics
Inc. sees big opportunities in selling minihelicopters with cameras, sensors and
whirling propellers that buzz like angry hornets.
The Berkeley company expects to
sell thousands of the pizza-sized
drones — for about $1,000 each — at
home and abroad this year. Tech-savvy
customers want them for capturing
wave-shredding surfing runs in the Pacific, monitoring oil and gas pipelines
in remote regions, and other uses.
3D Robotics is out in front of dozens
of California companies jumping into
the nascent business of selling drones
to consumers and commercial enterprises, just as companies in the state
did earlier when the drone market consisted largely of one customer: the Pentagon.
Although military drones were born
in Southern California and are still
built here, 3D’s drones will be built outside the country.
So far, many commercial and civilian drones are being designed here but
made abroad, creating high-tech engineering jobs in the U.S. while the manufacturing is in low-cost countries like
China and Mexico — underscoring the
challenge of creating U.S. manufacturing jobs.
The epicenter of the fast-growing
commercial drone business is in Silicon Valley, not Southern California,
and the new players are quite different
from the giant contractors that dominate the military drone market, such as

THE WASP is held by Cynthia Singleton-Nichols of

AeroVironment, which makes drones in Simi Valley.

Al Seib Los Angeles Times

THE RAVEN, top, and the Global Observer are some of

the other small drones made by AeroVironment.

Northrop Grumman Corp. or General
Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.
They’re more like the classic Silicon
Valley stereotype: geeks working in garages.
“The aerospace industry isn’t relevant here,” said Chris Anderson, 3D
Robotics’ chief executive. “What we do
is more like a smartphone with wings
rather than a pilot and a plane.”
Many of the commercial drone companies are so new that it’s hard to predict where they will locate manufacturing operations, but they are unlikely to
create thousands of well-paying factory jobs, like the aerospace industry of
a bygone era.
Competition from Chinese manufacturers has already pushed 3D Robotics and some other American drone
companies to make their hardware in
other countries. Anderson’s company
has an engineering center in San Diego, but manufactures its drones in Tijuana and Shenzhen, China, where
there is cheap labor.
The strategy mirrors that of Apple,
which designs its iPhones in California
but manufactures them in China and
other countries.
3D Robotics’ main competition is
Chinese company SZ DJI Technology
Co., the largest commercial drone
manufacturer in the world. The firm
makes the red-and-white quadcopter
called the Phantom, which recently
gained fame when one landed on the
White House lawn.
“We’re California. We’re a high-cost
state,” said Colin Snow, a drone industry analyst in Redwood City. “Capital
goes where it gets the highest return.”

CUTTING EDGE

Easing income volatility with an app

By Tracey Lien
OAKLAND — Mobile
apps are often hailed as a solution to many of life’s most
mundane problems. Need to
order a pizza? Hail a ride?
Get someone to do your
laundry?
But when it comes to the
social and economic problems that plague millions of
Americans, the app world
hasn’t been as quick to offer
help.
One company, Even, is
bucking the trend of flapping birds and candy waiting to be crushed by creating

an app that aims to improve
the lives of some of America’s least-privileged. Its mission: to solve income volatility.
Millions of Americans
who freelance or work hourly
jobs experience income fluctuations: They don’t know
how many hours they’ll work
each week, and they don’t
know how much they’ll get
paid. They include fast-food
workers, nail salon technicians, maids, gardeners and
retail employees.
The Even app, currently
by invitation-only, eases
users’ income volatility by
stabilizing their take-home

pay. That goes a step further
than the slew of budgeting
apps out there that simply
show users how much money they have and how much
they should spend and save.
Here’s how it works: The
app connects to people’s
bank accounts and sees
when the person is paid. It
then calculates an average
for what the person would be
paid if his or her income were
stable, and pays them that
amount each payday.
If a person gets paid less
than the calculated average,
Even automatically boosts
his or her pay by giving an interest-free advance. If a per-

son gets paid more than the
average, Even puts aside
that bonus cash to pay back
past advances and for future
advances.
Even plans on reaching
those who need the service
the most by partnering with
companies with hourly
workers. Although no partnerships have been announced yet, a service like
Even could benefit workers
at companies like Starbucks, Best Buy and Whole
Foods, with the promise of
reducing worker attrition
caused by financial stress,
co-founder Jon Schlossberg
said.

The Oakland company
charges users $3 a week for
the service, which can be
suspended at any time.
If it sounds like the company is taking on a big risk,
that’s because it is. One of
the biggest challenges the
company will face is when a
user loses his or her job or is
unable to pay back the advances.
Jake Fuentes, founder
and chief executive of budgeting app Level Money, said
Even could play an important role in filling a market
niche, but it may find itself
in the difficult position of
[See App, C9]

The climate
change debate may
seem mostly
to be about
science, but
it’s really
driven by
dollars and
cents — what
will it take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and
how much will that cost? Of
all U.S. states, California
has taken the most direct
approach to settling those
questions through a pioneering cap-and-trade
program.
More than two years into
the program — which aims
to reduce the state’s overall
greenhouse gas emissions
to 1990 levels by 2020 — it’s
working very well, but it may
not be doing as much as its
biggest fans say.
“We think we do have a
good story to tell,” says
Mary D. Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air
Resources Board, which
administers cap-andtrade.
The program’s quarterly
auctions of emissions allowances have gone on largely
without a hitch. The program has fit in, as was expected, with other emissions reduction programs
implemented under AB 32,
the state’s landmark greenhouse gas legislation, including mandates for renewable-fuel sources for
electrical utilities and emissions standards for new cars
and trucks.
It has done so without a
measurable drag on economic growth. The program
generated $969 million in
revenue for the state
through the end of 2014, and
is expected to generate
$2 billion a year or more in
the future. The money must
be spent on efforts to reduce
carbon emissions.
“What we’ve learned is
that a cap-and-trade system will not kill the California economy,” says Stanford
economist Lawrence H.
Goulder, who advised the
ARB on the program’s
design. “The economy has
continued to flourish.”
The state’s greenhouse
gas emissions have declined
since cap-and-trade was
introduced in 2013, but “the
jury’s really out on whether
we’ve seen a lot of reductions caused by cap-andtrade,” says James Bushnell, an energy economist at
UC Davis who follows the
program closely.
That’s important, because finding the right
incentives for industries
and consumers to reduce
their carbon footprint may
be the key to fighting climate change. All the options, including cap-andtrade, direct caps, and a
carbon tax, are controversial, though some are
more politically palatable

Monday’s Business section explains the ins and outs of the federal funds rate. That’s the name for the
benchmark rate that the Federal Reserve manipulates to try to keep the economy under control. We look
at how it works, why it’s important and how it affects other interest rates — from mortgages to certificates
of deposit. The central bank has kept the fed funds rate near zero since late 2008 to help spur a sluggish
recovery from the Great Recession. With a stronger economy now, the rate is ripe to rise.

Fed to meet
on rate hike

Gaming show Blocking

A tax break
for Tesla?

Federal Reserve policymakers will meet Tuesday and Wednesday to
consider the first increase of the central
bank’s key short-term
interest rate since 2006.
The Fed has set the
stage to raise its benchmark rate at any time,
but many analysts think
that despite an improving economy, the Fed
won’t act until later this
year. A decision will be
announced at 11 a.m.
Pacific time Wednesday.

North America’s largest video game trade
show, the Electronic
Entertainment Expo,

attendees. For the first
time, the show is open to
5,000 members of the
public for an early look
at new games and products.

A state committee is
scheduled to vote
Thursday on whether
to give automaker Tesla
a $15-million tax credit.
If the California Competes Tax Credit Committee approves, Tesla
would get the full
amount by creating
4,426 jobs in California
by 2019. The jobs must
offer workers at least
$35,000 a year and,
overall, must provide an
average salary of at least
$55,000 a year.

A proposal to make it
easier for consumers to
block robocalls will be
taken up Thursday by
the Federal Communications Commission. A
key change would allow
phone companies to
offer customers products that automatically
block robocalls and
spam text messages.
The FCC received
215,000 complaints
about robocalls and
texts last year, more
than any other issue.

Fox transition Turnover at
Net neutrality

top of Twitter rules in effect

President Obama’s
trade agenda unraveled
Friday as the U.S. House
of Representatives rejected an important
part of a package aimed
at fast-tracking a controversial trade pact
he’s pursuing with 11
other Pacific Rim nations. The Trans-Pacific
Partnership would be
one of the world’s largest and most ambitious
free-trade efforts.

It’s one of the world’s
biggest media companies, but Rupert Murdoch reminded everyone that it’s still a family
business — and his sons,
James and Lachlan, will
be running it soon. Murdoch, 84, plans this week
to ask the 21st Century
Fox board to name
James as the company’s
new chief executive and
Lachlan as executive
co-chairman.

Dick Costolo is stepping
down as chief executive
of Twitter, effective July
1. Twitter shares had
fallen more than 25% in
the last three months as
Costolo struggled to
boost growth and profits and deal with management dysfunction.
Co-founder Jack Dorsey
said he won’t be changing its direction as he
takes over as the interim chief.

Tough new regulations
for Internet traffic went
into effect Friday after
federal judges declined
to stop them, beginning
a new era of oversight
that already has reverberated through the
online ecosystem. Average users won’t notice
much of a difference at
first, but broadband
network owners are
scrambling to come to
grips with the rules.

Can our
humanity
save
humanity?
It’s a human truth: Tragedy brings us together. After an earthquake or
flood, we forget our incidental differences and act for each other in ways
we don’t on a day-to-day basis. Our skin color, gender, sexual orientation,
and politics fall to the wayside. Our reflex to care kicks in and becomes
unstoppable. But can we come together without a crisis?

Every day in our communities, research validates what we’ve all intuitively
felt: simple humankindness—real, genuine connection—heals us
from the inside out. Even those who care for our patients have noticed
the health benefits circling back. And we each carry this power.
What if each of us could reach out in our own lives to help someone new?
To offer a meal, or a shoulder? What would happen on a larger scale?
How many of us would it take to turn the tide?
So I ask you, as I ask myself, our entire organization, and community
leaders—could we actually change the world? This is bigger than health
care. So let’s unite and see what our collective humankindness can do.
Let’s try. It would be inhuman not to.

“People looking for jobs are … more likely to run into a manager in need of a
specific skill or a specific strength, and that’s where that experience comes in.”

In the know

Experience can be an older job-seeker’s best friend

T

im O’Brien likes to tell friends that
he’s on the “better side of 50.” What
does he mean by that? Well, that’s a
good question.
“I have to be honest, I used to just
think it meant how you looked, like
when people say their right profile is better than their
left profile,” O’Brien says. “I thought it was just some
goofy expression.” Today, the 58-year-old accountant
from Arlington, Texas, feels a bit differently.

SEARCH ADVICE
“It means I’m on the right side of the age
spectrum,” he says. “I’m the guy who’s on the right
side of the game.”
That game, O’Brien says, is today’s job market.
Once convinced he had to cloak his age at all costs,
O’Brien says he now leads with it any time he heads
into a job interview.
“I want them to know up front that I’m the guy with
experience,” he says.
After working more than 30 years for a “top-shelf”
accounting firm, as he puts it, O’Brien abruptly found
himself out of a job in 2010.
“It was a purge, essentially,” he says. “They got rid
of people who had put in enough time to earn the top
end of the scale. Nothing scientific about it. They just
cut the people who made the most money.” O’Brien
says he found himself scrambling for work.
“I had two kids in college and a house that was in
need of about $50,000 in repairs,” he says. “I was
desperate.”
So desperate, in fact, that O’Brien said he would lie
about his age on applications and during interviews.
“Everyone I spoke with told me no one hires people
older than 50,” he says. “I figured I’d say what I had
to say.”
That is, until he got caught. O’Brien is quick to
point out that he never lied on forms or when asked to
clarify his age, but his resume bumped up his college
graduation date by 15 years.
“My wife was the one who busted me,” he
says. “She said ‘If you think someone’s going to
believe that mug of yours isn’t even 40 yet, you’re
delusional.’”
O’Brien says he revised his resume, worked with
an outplacement firm and rebranded himself as
an experienced money man, “the guy who knew
where the bodies were buried,” he says. The strategy
immediately paid off. O’Brien says he was hired by an
insurance firm in Dallas for a six-month assignment to
clean up their financial books. It took him 10 weeks,
thanks to relying more on face-to-face discussions
with those responsible for the financial decisions and
a multi-level approach to finding the right answer. He
was the right hire.

Don’t run from your experience

Career consultant Edward Bracks, who specializes
in placing executives in financial firms in New York
and New Jersey, says O’Brien’s decision to play up
his experience should be a strong example to anyone
over the age of 50 who’s looking for a job.
“People looking for jobs are always going to run
into interviewers and managers who won’t be able to
get past their age,” Bracks says. “Let’s just admit that
up-front. But they’re more likely to run into a manager
in need of a specific skill or a specific strength, and
that’s where that experience comes in.”
Delta Wilson, a former trainer for United Airlines in
Chicago, says when used correctly, experience trumps
all other attributes and can be used to secure most
jobs.
“Anyone can be enthusiastic. Anyone can be
aggressive. Anyone can say they work well with
others,” Wilson says. “How many people can say
they’ve been there and done that? You add that
experience to any other trait, whether it’s confidence,
creativity — whatever — and you’re looking at the
ideal candidate.

Look the part

Wilson says older applicants often work too hard
to fit in with their younger competitive counterparts.
She recalls “seeing guys come in with ridiculous shirts
and women come in wearing borderline inappropriate
clothing, just so they could look young. It didn’t work.
They looked ridiculous.”
At the same time, some older applicants looked,
according to Wilson, like they “just stepped off a bus
on their way to a free dinner.” In other words, “iron
your pants, wear a simple tie, look professional,” she
says. “You know those cliches about how older people
dress? Rumbled clothes, lots of layers, gigantic shoes,
thick scarves? Avoid those cliches.

On the hunt

Although he likes taking project-based assignments,
O’Brien says he’s now looking for a full-time job.
“I like going in and fixing up a company’s books,
but I also like stability and routines. Maybe that’s the
older guy in me coming out,” he says. “Now, I’m
looking for a full-time job because I know I can help
out more if I have a chance to really dig in.”
O’Brien says he’s already received two offers but
turned down both.
“One was a brutal commute and the other just didn’t
seem like the right fit, at least for my last full-time
job ever, I hope,” he says. “But if it’s not, I’ll survive.
I’ll just be the 65-year-old guy who comes in and
fixes everything you’ve been doing wrong the past 10
years.”

Easy on thre Joe, bro

Who’s doing what?

t’s perfectly fine to have a cup of coffee or tea to wake
you up, both in the morning and afternoon. But as with
most things, moderation is key. Too much caffeine can
disrupt sleep patterns, so
limit yourself to two or
three cups a day. Also, a
lack of physical activity
can lead to poor sleep and
exacerbate an afternoon
slump. Even if you
exercise regularly and get
adequate sleep, getting
up and moving around an hour or so after lunch can help
prevent mid-afternoon drowsiness. A brisk 10- to 15-minute
walk outside is an ideal way to feel energized.

n anticipation of a big client meeting, you
delegate tasks to various team members
in order to prepare the various collateral
needed. But one week before the meeting,
you aren’t sure which tasks have been
accomplished or even started. Cue panic.
Collaboration is one of the biggest benefits
of working within a team, but as a leader,
it can be difficult to keep track of who is
doing what and the status of current projects.
Project management tools like Taskworld
help you stay organized by letting you view
project metrics in real time. Taskworld also
lets you store and view all documents and
assignments and provide instant feedback.

Advertising Supplement

Use company tech
for this, not that

T

echnology has blurred the lines between work
and our personal lives, with cell phones that
are capable of staying “always connected”
and “always working.” Maybe that’s why there’s
always the additional temptation to use technology for
personal entertainment, like browsing social media or
using your own email or banking information while
on the clock.
You’re sure HR would have something to say about
your use of company technology, but are there really
any risks to playing Sims on your computer at lunch?
Does it really matter if you pay your credit card bill
online between client phone calls?
According to a recent LawInfo article on company
technology, “While many employers have developed
written policies regarding computer usage by
employees that may give some guidance in this area,
employers generally have the discretion to monitor
and restrict employees’ personal computer usage
as they see fit. As a result, you may be subject to
discipline, or even discharge, as an employee if you
violate your employer’s policies regarding personal
computer usage.”
Consult your employee manual or speak to your
HR or IT department about your company’s specific
rules for proper use of company technology, but here
are some general guidelines which might help you
stay under the radar:

Internet browsing

If Internet access temporarily goes down at your
company, plenty of people will joke that there’s no
way they can complete their work. It’s true that the
Internet plays a central role in many people’s jobs
today, but it’s also true that the Internet helps pass the
time between tasks at work.
And while you may rely on celebrity gossip sites
and sports updates to get you through the day, assume
that your employer is watching everything you
access—and use your good judgment before exploring
all of the Internet at your desk. “Employers generally
can track employees’ Internet usage, in terms of time
spent online, websites visited, and engagement in
other online activities,” according to LawInfo. “An
employer also may restrict an employee’s access to
the Internet or access to certain websites, or prohibit
personal usage of workplace computers altogether.”

Instant messaging and chatting

Many instant messengers have an “off the record”
setting that prevents the program from saving any
record of the conversation. But don’t think that will
stop employers from seeing your conversation with
another co-worker about your annoying manager’s
meeting requests. LawInfo writes that “even if your
employer permits you to use your computer for your

personal matters, you should have no expectation
of privacy as to the contents of your computer or
your email accessed via that computer. Generally,
an employer has the right to monitor your computer
usage, whether it is for business or personal purposes,
including your email, any websites that you frequent,
chat history, and any other personal information
stored on your computer.” If you’re accessing
personal materials from a work device, there’s likely a
way for your employer to view those materials, too.

Email

Company emails shouldn’t be used for personal
use, and they certainly shouldn’t be used in any
job searching capacity. This may seem like basic
information, but it’s important to understand the logic
behind monitoring your work email. LawInfo explains
that employers are generally free to monitor and read
employees’ email messages, with no restrictions.
“The theory in this situation is that emails sent using a
workplace computer are the property of the employer,
regardless of whether the sender or recipient of the
email message intended to keep its contents private.
Whether an employer is monitoring email messages to
and from employees in order to ensure that employees
are productive, to guarantee that employees are not
disclosing confidential information, or simply to
decrease the possibility of any employee misconduct
or wrongdoing, employers typically are well within
their rights to monitor employee email.”

Social media

You’ve heard stories of employees getting fired
over social media rants about their employer, but
what about free speech? According to LawInfo,
“While negative postings about your employer may
be legal and permissible under the First Amendment,
your employer may be able to discipline and even
discharge you if you are openly critical about your
employer. Many states consider most employees to
be at will, which means that you can be discharged
for any reason other than an illegally discriminatory
reason. Another reason for discipline or discharge
by your employer in this situation is if you divulge
confidential information from your workplace in
your web page or blog. If an employer finds that you
have violated a stated workplace policy regarding
confidentiality of information, you are likely to be
subject to discipline or discharge.”
It may seem like you can’t really use your work
computer for anything other than work. Keeping your
work and personal devices separate will most likely
keep your work life and personal matters separate,
all while preventing you from oversharing to the
company, and preventing the company from losing
important business information or security.

WORK LIFE
Anxiety is a
good attribute
for leaders
By Tom Fox

Brendan Smialowski AFP/Getty Images

PRESIDENT OBAMA nominated Maria Contreras-Sweet, the founding chairwoman of ProAmerica

Bank, to head the Small Business Administration in January 2014. The Senate confirmed her in April 2014.

HOW I MADE IT: MARIA CONTRERAS-SWEET

SBA chief is striving
to lift entrepreneurs

By Ronald D. White
The gig: Since April 2014, Maria Contreras-Sweet, 59, has been running
the U.S. Small Business Administration as a member of President
Obama’s Cabinet. She was born in
Guadalajara, Mexico, and came to
America with her mother, Guadalupe
Contreras, and five siblings when she
was 5.
Abuela’s example: Grandmother
Emilia was “very resourceful,” Contreras-Sweet said. “If one of us
needed a dress, she would say, ‘Let’s
make it.’ Even though she didn’t have
much, she was always very generous
with what she had.” Emilia provided
insights that have proved valuable in
business and public service. “She
believed there was more power in
winning people over, by saying yes, by
focusing on what we have in common.”
Everybody works: The family settled
in Baldwin Park, and Guadalupe
Contreras, who spoke no English,
found work at a small poultry processing plant in El Monte. “We all
cleaned houses when we got here,
just to make our way,” ContrerasSweet said. “I was the furniture duster. One of my sisters ran the vacuum
cleaner.”

Charles Dharapak Associated Press

‘I learned about
the struggles an
entrepreneur faces.’
— M ARIA C ONTRERAS -S WEET

discussing a consulting firm she
started in 1995 that specialized
in Latino marketing

Cal State Los Angeles, ContrerasSweet worked for Assemblyman Joe
Montoya and then the U.S. Census
Bureau. “This was the kind of thing I
loved,” she said.

Staying positive: Contreras-Sweet
remembers the positive attitude her
mother taught her by appreciating
even the small things in an otherwise
challenging work environment. Her
mother would bring several layers of
clothing with her for her job on the
swing shift at the poultry plant,
where she had to spend time in a cold
refrigerator unit. “She never complained about anything. She always
recognized the positive things, sometimes it was just ‘Gosh, we are so
lucky. They let me bring home some
chicken today.’ ”

Going private: Contreras-Sweet
landed a marketing and government
relations job with 7Up-RC Bottling
Co., rising to public affairs vice president in 1986 and becoming an equity
partner when Westinghouse sold the
company in 1990. In 1995, she headed
out on her own but found it’s not easy
starting a business. “I remember just
trying to work off the credit cards and
how hard it was to manage my own
business, to get business,” she said
about Contreras-Sweet Co., a consulting firm that specialized in Latino
marketing. “You spend all day long
getting the business and then all
night long getting the business done,”
she recalled. “So I learned about the
struggles an entrepreneur faces.”

Seeing public life: During her college
years, she volunteered in Jimmy
Carter’s 1976 presidential campaign.
After earning a degree in political
science and public administration at

Public again: In 1999, ContrerasSweet became the state’s first Latina
Cabinet official, serving Gov. Gray
Davis as secretary of the Business,
Transportation and Housing Agency.

During her five years there, she managed a $14-billion budget for 13 departments with 42,000 employees.
“I brought in help so that we could
determine, agencywide, how we could
help small businesses,” ContrerasSweet said. “I met with banks to find
out what kind of accommodations
there were for women-owned and
minority-owned businesses and
found that there weren’t that many....
We tried to break barriers, for example, on the number of contracts
awarded to people like disabled veterans.”
Back in business: She was co-founder and president of the private equity
firm Fortius Holdings, which funded
small California companies. In 2006,
she was the founding chairwoman of
ProAmerica Bank, which was developed to serve small- and mediumsize businesses, mostly in the Latino
community. “ProAmerica stood for
‘the promise of America.’ People
didn’t have collateral and needed a
new way to find institutions to invest
in them,” she said.
SBA goals: When trying to start her
first business, Contreras-Sweet said
she was unaware of all the SBA could
have done to help through grants,
loan guarantees, counseling, contracting assistance and other programs. “We have to be branded, because people just don’t know about
us. Then we need to lift entrepreneurs and have them feel more emboldened.... They are looking for
inspiration, what sort of path should
they take?”
Personal: Contreras-Sweet and her
husband, Ray Sweet, have three
children and one grandchild. During
rare free time, she likes hiking on the
weekends with her husband. Inspiration for her work is easy to find,
she said, living in the Colonial-style
tourist city of Alexandria, just south
and west of Washington, D.C., “which
provides me the opportunity to visit
small businesses whenever I am out
and about in the community.”

Cass Sunstein is a professor and legal scholar at Harvard Law School, the author
of numerous books and the
former administrator of the
White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. He spoke about his experiences in the Obama administration, his views on
regulatory policy and leadership, his favorite sport
(squash) and being married
to a powerful woman.
The interview was edited
for length and clarity.
In your new book, “Wiser:
Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups
Smarter,” you divide leaders into two categories:
those who are complacent
and easygoing and those
who are anxious. Which
type makes a better
leader?
A complacent leader is
someone who is upbeat,
optimistic, who has a clear
sense of direction, who is
confident that things will be
fine and who has a degree of
sunniness. An anxious
leader is someone who may
be easy to get along with but
also is thinking about all the
things that could go wrong
and always seeing the
worst-case scenario.
There is no question that
the anxious leader is much
better than the complacent
leader. The anxious leader is
able to redirect energies,
listen to information from
employees and won’t continue the course of action if
it’s failing. The anxious
leader also will be flexible
and inventive and will foresee things that could go
wrong. There’s a saying that
goes, “If you make a plan,
God laughs. If you make two
plans, God smiles.” The
anxious leaders are making
two plans.
Can you give me an example of someone who fits the
anxious leader model?
Jeff Zients, who is now
the head of the National
Economic Council, was
brought in by the president
to fix HealthCare.gov. I’m
sure he was always thinking
about what could go wrong.
And more specifically, saying, “This could be a catastrophe. If that’s a risk, then
what will we do about it?”
Having a constant productive anxiety doesn’t
mean that people are miserable and wailing but that
people know they will be
held accountable if things
do not go right.
What was one of the most
surprising lessons you
learned about government
during your time as the
president’s regulatory
chief?
That the public comment process for federal
regulations is immensely
important and very substantive. I taught administrative law for many years,
and many teachers of the
subject think that the public
comment process is a TV

show, and what actually is
determined happens behind closed doors. That
view is completely wrong.
When you set a rule out
for public comment, you will
often get comments saying,
“This section is going to
hurt small business,” or,
“This provision could be
changed in a way to get the
public safety impact
doubled.” Those are phenomenally helpful. You
learn that you miss some
things.
Sometimes what was
missed was not huge but, if
fixed, would save hundreds
of millions of dollars for
people who deserved those
savings. And sometimes you
learn the whole proposal
was misdirected or wrong.
In your role overseeing
federal regulations, you
were involved in a lot of
hot-button issues. You had
your fans and your critics
on the left and right. How
did you approach this job?
Economic growth was
the top priority, and we were
not going to be doing a lot of
the regulations by historical
standards. If we have benefits that exceed costs,
that’s a good reason to go
forward; if the costs were
too high for those benefits, it
was a good reason not to go
forward. If there was a rule
that would save dozens or
hundreds of lives and it
wouldn’t cost all that much,
then I’d be for that, even if
the people who bore those
costs didn’t like it very
much. If there was a rule
favored by environmentalists or the progressive community that was going to
hammer the economy and
have modest benefits, then
I’d be very cautious about
that. The focus was on the
consequences and not on
background noise from the
political actors.
What would people be
surprised to know about

‘Queen bees’ may have hive minds after all

Study casts doubt on
the idea that female
executives don’t help
women below them.
By Jena McGregor
One of the most enduring
stereotypes in the American
workplace is that of the
“queen bee”: the executive
who, at best, doesn’t help the
women below her get ahead
and, at worst, actively hinders them. This supposed
species has been analyzed in
newspaper
essays,
described in surveys and caricatured in Hollywood.
But a recent study casts
doubt on the idea. Researchers at Columbia Business
School and the University of

Maryland’s business school
looked at what happens after a woman gets one of the
five highest-paying executive jobs at an S&P 1500 firm.
They found that it decreased
the probability of another
woman also getting a top position 51% — though not for
the reason often cited.
Given the “queen bee”
stereotype, people have
often posited that the woman at the top might be trying
to hold other women back
from joining her. Yet the researchers say that their findings instead suggest the culprit is “implicit quotas,” in
which companies feel pressure to add women to their
upper ranks to improve their
public image — but once
they’ve added one, they believe they’ve done their job.
“They try pretty hard to

get a woman on their top
management team, but then
they will stop,” said David
Ross, a coauthor of the
study. “What I think our paper shows is that it’s going to
be harder for the low number of women in top management to be a problem that
solves itself.”
Part of what supported
their finding was that in
companies in which a woman was the chief executive,
rather than just a senior
member of the team, women
had better chances of gaining other top positions. “[If]
women are doing each other
in,” Ross said, “you’d expect
to see it the most when women are CEO.”
The paper, which is set to
be published in Strategic
Management Journal, first
got attention a few months

ago but resurfaced this
month since its findings will
be presented at a conference
of girls’ schools in Britain.
Some headlines have said
this research shows the
queen bee syndrome is a
myth, but Ross says the idea
of implicit quotas doesn’t exactly disprove the other argument but just weakens it.
“We don’t know if the
queen bee syndrome exists,
but if it exists it could well exist because of sexism,” Ross
said. If women are competitively vying for top positions,
it’s “not arising from some
kind of innate female quality,
but from the behavior of the
men and their colleagues.”
Meanwhile, there’s other
evidence that women may
“pay it forward” to the next
generation even more than
men do. A 2012 study from

the research firm Catalyst
found, for instance, that 73%
of the female mentors it
studied were helping develop other women, whereas
only 30% of the male mentors were doing the same.
But women, although
perhaps more likely to help
other women, aren’t necessarily more likely to be in
mentorship positions to begin with. A survey last year
from the human resources
consulting firm Development Dimensions International found that as many as
20% of the women it surveyed had never been asked
to be mentors and more
than 50% had been asked
only a few times.
Sharon Mavin, director of
the business school at University of Roehampton in
London, has also found in

her research that women are
readily open to helping and
mentoring other women.
The problem isn’t an unwillingness to help, she said in
an interview, but that when
there are only one or two
women at the top, “there’s
not enough momentum for
the culture that’s already
been established to change.”
Mavin, who has also written about the queen bee phenomenon, added: “For a
woman to survive in that
context, there’s a lot of strategies she can take. But a lot
of them mean assimilating
into that culture rather than
changing it.”

Commercial drone sales growing

[Drones, from C1]
The makers of military
drones also see huge potential in commercial sales.
“We think the commercial market has a chance to
be much larger,” said Steven
Gitlin, a spokesman for
AeroVironment Inc., the
largest supplier of small
drones to the military.
The company, which
makes drones in its Simi Valley facilities, has seen sales
decline as the military withdrew from Iraq and Afghanistan and is looking to commercial drones for growth.
How fast the drone business will grow could depend
on when and how regulations are loosened.
It is still illegal to fly a
drone for commercial purposes without a permit. Almost daily, pilots have reported drones flying dangerously close to their aircraft,
and the Federal Aviation
Administration has said its
priority is keeping the nation’s skies safe.
While the FAA continues
to debate new rules for the
operation of commercial
drones that it proposed in
February, the agency is issuing an increasing number of
permits to companies that
have shown regulators they
can fly safely. So far, the FAA
has issued 548 permits, including to companies using
drones to film commercials
and movies, along with more
industrial tasks.
San Diego Gas & Electric
Co. flies drones to help inspect high-voltage power
lines throughout its network. U.S. farmers can now
use 207-pound Yamaha helicopter drones to spray crops
with pesticides — the same
aerial spraying system that
Japanese farmers have used
for years.
Sales are already climbing among hobbyists, foreign users and companies
that have gained exemptions to fly. Global sales of
drones to consumers and
companies are estimated to
be $4.5 billion this year, up
from $3.3 billion last year, according to Frost & Sullivan,
a market research firm.
Commercial sales are expected to increase so fast
that they could surpass
those to the military in
about five years, according
to the firm’s analysis. By
2020, global consumer and
commercial sales could be
$11 billion, it said.
Silicon Valley’s deeppocketed venture capitalists
are pouring cash into drone
start-ups. So far this year,
venture capitalists have invested $172 million in drone
companies, according to CB
Insights. That’s up from $107
million for all of 2014.
Jon Callaghan, CEO of
True Ventures, an investment firm in San Francisco,
said his company has provided more than $100 million
in early capital for companies involved with drones.
“Once you see a larger
number of these vehicles allowed into U.S. airspace,
that will unlock a huge wave
of investment,” Callaghan
said.
Northern California is
the headquarters of six of
the 10 American commercial

drone for commercial
purposes unless the
company receives a waiver
from federal regulators.

drone companies that have
attracted the most venture
capital, according to CB Insights. They are creating
high-paying work for engineers, including those designing ever more sophisticated software to operate
the machines.
Computer engineers are
also working on applications
in which drones gather data
through cameras and sensors and turn those data into
information that farmers
and other businesses can
use to improve their operations.

For example, San Francisco start-up DroneDeploy
has created software designed to enable farmers to
spray or water their crops
more efficiently. The system
collects data that are used to
generate real-time maps
showing where fields may be
too wet or dry.
Airware, another startup in San Francisco, develops drone operating systems so customers can mix
and match software to carry
out various jobs, such as forestry and agriculture or surveying and mapping. Airware was founded in Newport Beach but moved to
San Francisco after seeing
where the industry was
headed.

App aims to stabilize take-home pay
[App, from C1]
having to cut people off if
they’re deemed too risky a
customer.
The founders are aware
of these potential hurdles.
Even isn’t a bank. It doesn’t
dole out loans or charge interest. It makes money when
customers subscribe to the
service but don’t need
Even’s advances.
Schlossberg
acknowledged that the business
model may not immediately
look profitable when compared with payday loan
companies, which make
money off charging people
interest when they are in
financially desperate situations.
“But with a mission like
this, I ask you: Because we
might fail, does that mean
we should not try?” he said
when the service was first
announced in January.
Schlossberg is particularly determined to make
Even work because he sees it
as a solution to a problem
that he said he’s been fascinated by since he was a teenager. He recalls watching
“Cops” when he was 16 and
noticing the same perpetrator in two separate episodes.
“That was remarkable to
me,” he said. “Appearing on
‘Cops’ once is bad enough
because it means you’ve
made some bad decisions.
But to be on ‘Cops’ more
than once, you have to be
seriously making some bad
decisions in your life. That
was just unfathomable to
me.”
So began what he described as a “casual obsession” with finding out why
people make objectively bad
decisions, and what can be
done about it.
His research pointed him
to an area of neuropsychology that looked at the effect of
poverty on cognitive function. Dozens of scientific
journals have detailed how
the stress of living in poverty
can affect brain chemistry,

which can lead people to
make poor decisions.
Schlossberg and his fellow Even co-founders Ryan
Gomba, Cem Kent and
Quinten Farmer saw an opportunity to do for poverty
what Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have tried to do in
any field they’ve entered:
cause disruption.
A 2015 report by the Economic Policy Institute found
that more than 30% of working Americans experience
significant spikes and dips
in their incomes, and the
lowest income workers tend
to be the most adversely affected. A report published
by the JPMorgan Chase Institute this year called on
government and corporations to develop tools that
could help people manage
their bottom line.
Other tech companies
are also stepping up.
Mint is one such app that
has risen to the occasion,
helping customers track
their spending. Level Money
recently updated its app to
detect nuances in transactions and help people
budget for bills, loan repayments and other recurring
expenses. Even gets more involved by managing people’s
money for them.
The app is already seeing
results among the small
group of hourly wage workers who received early access to the service. The company says people whose
take-home pay was once
tied to unpredictable work
schedules or client numbers
have reported feeling less
stressed and being better
able to plan their spending
and loan repayments.
“I feel like I have more security behind me,” Heather
Jacobs, 28, a massage therapist whose pay is determined by how many clients
she massages in a day, said
in a video the company put
together. “I’m not stressing
completely over paychecks
anymore.”

Kirk McKoy Los Angeles Times

THE EVEN APP is targeting the millions of Americans who freelance or work hourly jobs and experience

income fluctuations, such as retail employees and nail salon technicians. Above, a nail salon in Beverly Hills.

But even if the company
offers a compelling solution
to income volatility, it still
faces hurdles, said Ariel Michaeli, chief executive of analytics firm AppFigure.
“It’s an intriguing idea,
but for them, the challenge is

going to be how do they sell
this kind of concept?” Michaeli said. “How do you educate the market and get everyone to use it? For them,
it’s all about the big numbers, and they have to hit a
critical mass. It could be an

uphill battle.”
There’s also an existential problem: If Even succeeds, isn’t it helping its customers not need a service
like Even down the line?
“That’s a valid point,”
Schlossberg said. “What

that means is as a business
we need to offer more products that are valuable to
people when they achieve
the next level.”

Board fines owner
for not watering
lawn amid drought

By Donie Vanitzian
Question: My homeowner
association board won’t let
me plant drought-resistant
vegetation, saying it’s not in
keeping with a “theme of
luxury homes” and is contrary to architectural and
landscape rules. Because of
California’s severe drought I
stopped watering my front
lawn and removed all flowers. Once my grass turned
brown the board ordered me
to replant flowers and water
the lawn.
Management sent me a
letter saying that I violated
the covenants, conditions
and restrictions and that I
will continue to be fined until
the flowers are replanted
and the lawn turns green
through sufficient watering.
Today I got a letter and
invoice indicating additional
fees and interest charges for
“noncompliance” of maintaining my property. The
board also is threatening to
place a lien on my home if I
don’t pay and if I disobey
their orders. Is this right?
Answer: It’s not right, and
the board cannot order you
to water the lawn. Under
these circumstances, additional fees and interest
charges for noncompliance
of maintaining your property should be removed.
The excuse for watering
in keeping with a “theme of
luxury homes” is nonsense.
Under Civil Code section
4735(a), a provision of the
governing documents or
architectural or landscaping
guidelines or policies shall
be void and unenforceable if
it prohibits the use of lowwater-using plants or as a
replacement of existing turf.
An association’s governing documents cannot have
the effect of prohibiting or
restricting compliance with
a water-efficient landscape
ordinance adopted or in
effect pursuant to Government Code section 65595(c),
or any regulation or restriction on the use of water
adopted pursuant to the
Water Code sections 353, 375.
Associations are not
prohibited from applying
landscaping rules established in the governing documents, as long as those rules

fully conform with Civil Code
section 4735(a). The Legislature has recognized and
affirmed the right of an
association to regulate
aesthetics. However, water
conservation, especially in a
severe drought, takes precedence over that right.
The law is clear: A homeowners association shall not
impose a fine or assessment
against an owner for reducing or eliminating watering
vegetation or lawns during a
period for which the governor or local government has
declared a local or state
emergency because of
drought.
The California Governor’s Executive Order mandates water use restrictions.
Your association is acting in
direct contradiction of this
edict, and the resulting fines,
assessments and penalties
are void and unenforceable.
Placing a lien on your
home for what the association deems as noncompliance violates the law. Should
you be forced to take legal
action to obtain a stay or
remove a pending lien, the
association will be subjecting members to liability.
A board’s duty to uphold
laws and policies pertaining
to the association clearly
include enforcement of
government-mandated
water-reduction programs.
The board cannot place you
in a position in which you
must decide whether to
violate the association’s
architectural and landscape
rules, risking a cloud on your
title, or to violate the government’s emergency water
control regulations and face
consequences imposed by
the state.
As a titleholder, it is
much better for you to follow
the law and then pursue
reimbursement of your costs
from the association and/or
the management company
that unlawfully fined you.

Zooey Deschanel got top
dollar for her home in Hollywood Hills. The actresssinger-songwriter, who
bought a house in Manhattan Beach this year, sold her
old place for $2.33 million —
a little more than 6% over
the asking price.
Set on half an acre, the
single-story Traditional was
built in 1933 and features
formal living and dining
rooms, a den, a breakfast
nook and two wood-burning
fireplaces. The remodeled
kitchen, awash in blue tile
and cabinetry, has marble
counter tops and a farmhouse sink, while the breakfast area looks out onto
surrounding gardens.
There are three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in
about 3,000 square feet.
Outdoors, a brick patio,
various gardens and large
expanses of grass make up
the tree-topped grounds.
Separate guest quarters
with another bedroom sit
across from the main house.
The home came on the
market in April for $2.195
million, records show. Deschanel bought the house
from Oscar-nominated
actor Mark Ruffalo in 2009
for $1.65 million.
Sara Berger of Westside

detached recreation room
and an outdoor kitchen. A
fire pit and sitting area are

Set on more than half an
acre, the Spanish-style
house was built in 2004 and
features a saltwater wave
pool, a hookah lounge, two
wine cellars and lighted
basketball court.
The main house includes
a two-story entry with a
wrought-iron staircase and
a formal living room that

beamed ceilings, wroughtiron accents and a custom
wall aquarium are among
the interior details.
Amenities include seven
fireplaces, a family room
with a projection screen, a
home theater, a game room,
a climate-controlled doghouse and a dog run. The
master suite has a steam
shower and soaking tub.
There are a total of five
bedrooms and 5.75 bathrooms in 7,500 square feet of
space.
Outdoors, the landscaped grounds center on
the swimming pool, which
has a beach entry, a grottostyle spa and a waterfall
feature. Adjacent to the pool
is a 1,500-square-foot pool
house with a kitchen and a
wet bar.
Farmar bought the property in 2011 for $1,866,500.
Josh and Matthew Altman, the Altman brothers,
of Douglas Elliman Real
Estate are the listing agents.
Farmar, 28, has deep ties
to Southern California,
having played for both the
Lakers and Clippers. He
also played at UCLA in
college and before that at
William Howard Taft High
School in Woodland Hills.
He was released by the
Clippers in January and in
February signed with Turkish club Dogus Darussafaka
through the end of the season.

TEAR-DOWNS

Development has star past

By Neal J. Leitereg
A piece of Old Hollywood has given way to
a top sale in Sherman Oaks.
On Longview Avenue, where the home of
Oscar-winning actress Susan Hayward
once stood, a newly built Traditional sold
last month for $6.85 million — one of the most
expensive single-family-home sales to date
in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood.
The new development replaced a ranchstyle house formerly owned by Hayward and
her first husband, actor Jess Barker, in the
1940s and 1950s.
The original home came on the market
last year for the first time in more than half a
century and sold for $2.52 million. The singlestory structure was built in 1940 and had four
bedrooms and four bathrooms in 2,884
square feet.
The rebuilt 8,786-square-foot house sold
last month. The master suite has a two-way
fireplace and a soaking tub. There are a total
of seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
Oren Mordkowitz of Pinnacle Estate
Properties was the listing agent. Howard
Zuckerman of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties represented
the buyer.

than others.
California’s cap-andtrade experiment is being
widely watched because it
covers the broadest range of
industries of any such program in North America in
the largest state economy in
the region. It’s also, as the
Legislative Analyst’s Office
declared in 2012, “one of the
most wide-ranging and
complex regulatory efforts
in the history of the state.” If
cap-and-trade can work
here, it could work anywhere.
“California has provided
a very good signal to other
states and the federal government that significant
reductions can be achieved
through a market-based
system,” Goulder says. One
positive aspect of the state’s
lengthening experience is
that it has “drained away
some of the fear-mongering” about cap-and-trade,
says Severin Borenstein, an
energy expert at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. For example, the
state’s oil and gas industry,
which last year unsuccessfully lobbied to defer the
Jan. 1, 2015, deadline for
imposing cap-and-trade
rules on gasoline suppliers,
predicted that the regulation would drive up gas
prices by 16 to 76 cents per
gallon.
Borenstein and other
experts accurately put the
increase at closer to nine to
10 cents, and argued that
cap-and-trade would be
meaningless if the largest
source of greenhouse gases,
transportation fuel, was left
out of the program.
To meet 1990 level goals,
emissions must be cut by
almost 16% — from 507
million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent to
427 million. Every year, ARB
hands out or auctions allowances covering that year’s
emission cap, which is reduced year by year as 2020
draws near. Factories and
other sources of greenhouse
gases can buy the allowances they need or sell any
they don’t need. ARB forbids speculators to hoard
allowances — to avoid the
sort of manipulation that
fouled the state’s electricity
market during the deregulation era of 2000-01 — and
sets a floor price, which will
rise slightly every year, to
signal that emissions have
some real cost.
The goal is to prompt
emitters to become more
efficient users of energy. But

Christina House For The Times

THE CAP-AND-TRADE program is working very

well, but it may not be doing as much as its biggest
fans say. Above is Valero’s Wilmington refinery.

the pressure is more of a
nudge than a cudgel because of fears of imposing
emissions limits so tight or
costs so high that businesses would flee the state.
“Although we were moving
forward ahead of others, we
weren’t moving so far ahead
that it became destabilizing
to current businesses in
California,” Nichols observes.
Energy experts expect
the auction price of allowances to stay close to the
minimum through 2020,
largely because the emission caps have turned out to
be higher than what the
state’s covered industries
are actually producing.
The state’s other emissions mandates already
have done much to bring
emissions down. Another
big factor was the recession:
The state’s greenhouse gas
emissions fell 4.4% from
2008 to 2009, tracking the
slowdown in economic
activity, and didn’t return to
pre-crash levels until 2012,
ARB statistics show.
“Current emissions are
below what we would have
seen even without the program,” Bushnell says.
“When we came out of the
recession, everybody was a
bit more efficient, and those
efficiencies have persisted.”
Auction prices may begin to
rise, however, if the state
enacts more stringent targets for 2020-30, as Gov.
Brown advocates.
A larger question, Borenstein says, is whether emis-

sions regulations such as
cap-and-trade do enough to
drive technological change.
“California produces 1% of
world greenhouse gases,” he
says, “so it’s not going to
solve the problem on its
own. Making a difference
means developing new
technologies that can be
used in the developing
world. If California meets
our greenhouse gas goals by
taking expensive measures
no one else is willing to do,
that’s not doing it in a way
that drives technology
forward.”
ARB’s Nichols maintains
that cap-and-trade is
achieving that goal merely
by establishing a predictable benchmark price for
carbon emissions. Even at a
modest $12 per ton, she
says, “that’s enough of a
signal for industries to make
dramatic investments in
clean energy.”
But it’s also just one
piece of a broad strategy to
fight climate change. By
itself, cap-and-trade doesn’t
answer the one most important question on climate
change: Just how much are
we willing to do to win the
fight?

Smokeless tobacco
remains ingrained
in baseball, despite
bans, warnings and
Gwynn’s death

HELENE ELLIOTT

BY GARY KLEIN
Rick Vanderhook played for Cal
State Fullerton’s 1984 College World Series championship team and was a Titans assistant when they won two more.
So he remembers the days when cans
and pouches of smokeless tobacco were
omnipresent in the uniform pockets of
the participants.
Not anymore. The NCAA banned tobacco use on the field in the early 1990s.
“It’s probably cut back, I’ll say, almost 90% compared to what it was 25
years ago,” said Vanderhook, who in his
fourth season as head coach has guided
the Titans back to Omaha, where they
will open against defending national
champion Vanderbilt on Sunday at 5
p.m.
Smokeless tobacco remains ingrained in baseball culture, however, including the college and high school
levels, where it is banned.
“It sounds bad, but it’s part of the
game,” said Fullerton pitcher Thomas
Eshelman, echoing nearly every coach
and player interviewed for this article.
Minor league players can be fined for
having tobacco products in their locker
or partaking on the field. Major leaguers are prohibited from using tobacco
during televised interviews and player
appearances. But they are otherwise
not prohibited from using it on the field.
Before he died of salivary gland cancer last year, baseball Hall of Famer
Tony Gwynn said he believed his habit
of using smokeless tobacco caused the
disease

TAMPA, Fla.
— The Stanley Cup will

United Center, and the
Chicago
Blackhawks will have a
chance to make the hallowed trophy feel at home
there for a while.
Center Antoine Vermette, a late-season acquisition who was a healthy

Conference final, converted
a rebound two minutes into
the third period Saturday
and Chicago goaltender
Corey Crawford held off a
furious late push by the
Tampa Bay Lightning as
the Blackhawks clawed out
a 2-1 victory at Amalie
Arena. With a 3-2 series lead
they’re in position to win the
Cup on Monday for the third
time in six seasons.
“It’s great. We’re excited
about the opportunity,”
Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. “It’s what
we’ve worked for.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Park leads in bid for third title in a row in major

associated press

Two-time
defending
champion Inbee Park shot a
seven-under-par 66 on Saturday to overtake fellow
South Korean Sei Young
Kim for the lead after three
rounds of the KPMG Women’s PGA championship at
Harrison, N.Y.
Kim, a rookie who came
into the round with a onestroke lead, shot a 69. The
two had battled all afternoon at Westchester Coun-

try Club and went into the final hole tied at 13 under. But
Park made her seventh birdie of the day on 18, and Kim
missed a four-foot putt for
par.
Suzann Pettersen and 17year-old Canadian Brooke
Henderson each shot a 71.
They ended tied with Hall of
Famer Karrie Webb for third
place, six strokes back, in
the second LPGA major of
the year.
Webb was in second place
to start the day, but had to
overcome bogeys on her first

two holes to shoot a 72.

St. Jude Classic

Englishman Greg Owen
and Fabian Gomez of Argentina each shot a three-under
67 to share a one-stroke lead
after 54 holes at the St. Jude
Classic at Memphis, Tenn.
Swirling wind and tough
pins kept everyone guessing
on a hectic day at TPC
Southwind, where as many
as six players had a piece of
the lead at some point.
But Owen, looking for his
first PGA Tour title in his

214th event, had four birdies
and one bogey in the third
round. Gomez opened with
the first of his three bogeys
and finished with six birdies.
Owen, 43, who lives in
Florida, has struggled this
season, missing five of 12
cuts on tour. His best career
finish is second at the 2006
Arnold Palmer Invitational,
but his best result this season is a tie for 22nd last November at the Sanderson
Farms Championship.
Brooks Koepka, who had
at least a piece of the lead

through the first two rounds,
finished with a 71 and is tied
with Scott Brown (68) for
second at 202.
Phil Mickelson, tuning up
for what he hopes is his first
U.S. Open victory, shot a 70
and is in a group at 207.

Senior Players

Defending
champion
Bernhard Langer shot a
four-under 67 in the third
round of the Senior Players
Championship at Belmont,
Mass., to open an eightstroke lead heading into the

final day.
Langer, who won last
year at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh, is trying to become
the first golfer to win two
years in a row in this event
since Arnold Palmer in 1984.
Russ Cochran was even
for the day and is the closest
competitor to Langer at
eight under. Scott Verplank
shot a 66 in the third round
to move into a four-way tie
for third at Belmont Country Club with Colin Montgomerie, Jeff Hart and Guy Boros.

KLAY THOMPSON of Golden State drives against Cleveland’s Iman Shumpert. Thompson has been quiet

lately, scoring nine points on nine shots in Game 4, but has created opportunities for his teammates.

James knows he has to be
productive for Cavaliers
[NBA, from D1]
Warriors Coach Steve
Kerr doesn’t have to lie
about this: Even though the
series is tied, the Warriors
are back in control, two victories from their first championship since 1975.
Curry has found his
stroke, scoring 39 points in
the last five quarters, and
veteran Andre Iguodala has
been an unexpected boost,
joining the starting lineup
for Game 4 and scoring 22
points.
It seems pretty obvious
Draymond Green will start
again in place of nonexistent
7-footer Andrew Bogut,
though Kerr wouldn’t con-

firm it.
“Yeah, unfortunately, the
dynamics are pretty tricky,”
Kerr said Saturday. “I’ll just
say that I’ve established my
penchant for lying. So however I answer right now, you
shouldn’t believe me anyway.”
It wouldn’t be fibbing if
Kerr said he wanted more
from Warriors All-Star Klay
Thompson. He’s been quiet
lately, scoring nine points on
nine shots in Game 4 and 14
points on 16 attempts in
Game 3.
If Thompson and Curry
string something together in
the same game, Cleveland
would be more than hard-

presence on the floor. And
that’s what makes our team
great, is you have threats everywhere and you have to
choose your poison,” Curry
said.
After
malfunctioning
badly at home in Game 4,
Cleveland got the maximum
amount of rest in this round,
three days to lick wounds
and pine for damaged AllStars Kevin Love and Kyrie
Irving.
James has said he’s fine
despite needing stitches
from his head-on collision
with a TV camera. He’ll
surely improve upon his 20point, seven-for-22 effort in
Game 4, won’t he?
The extra day of rest was
like a “lifeline,” he said, trying to size up his need to take
a lot of shots to score a lot of
points.
“Well, I’m in a spot where
I have to be very productive,
and that’s just the spot I’ve
always been in,” he said. “For
me, it’s a lose-lose when it
comes to, OK, well, in the
first three games I score 40,
but I shoot a lot of shots.
Last game I scored 20, I don’t
shoot as many shots, and we
lose. So it’s like, what do you
want?
“All I care about is how I
can produce for our team.”
The bigger questions orbit James’ teammates.
Will Matthew Dellavedova score 20 points (Game 3
output) or miss nine of 12
shots (Game 4 stats)? Can
Timofey Mozgov and Tristan Thompson plunder the
Warriors’ teeny lineup just a
little bit more? Will J.R.
Smith do anything this series besides miss a ton of
shots from his typically, uh,
unique selection?
Smith seems the most
down on himself and, at the
same time, apt to punch out
of his slump at any time. He’s
the one who scored 28 points
against Atlanta in the Eastern Conference finals, making eight of 12 three-point attempts.
“The best part about it, I
can’t play no worse,” Smith
said Saturday, cognizant he
was shooting poorly in the
series (29.8% to be exact).
The Warriors own the
momentum and are 47-4 at
Oracle Arena. A victory Sunday puts them in very good
shape. And that’s no lie.

OAKLAND’S Josh Phegley is doubled off second base by Angels shortstop Erick Aybar to end the

seventh inning after first baseman Efren Navarro snagged a line drive by Stephen Vogt.

Joyce has hit bottom
Former cleanup hitter falls
to ninth in lineup, and
Angels are considering
other options in left field.

Angels 1, Oakland 0
KEY MOMENT: Shortstop Erick Aybar couldn’t handle Brett Lawrie’s
sharp grounder in the seventh inning, committing the Angels’ first error in
11 games this month and putting runners on first and second with one out.
But first baseman Efren Navarro made a lunging, backhand grab of
Stephen Vogt’s liner and threw to second to complete an inning-double
play and preserve a 1-0 lead.

By Mike DiGiovanna
Matt Joyce might have reached
the proverbial last house on the
block, and there does not appear to
be unlimited parking out front.
After opening 2015 in the cleanup spot and hitting sixth or seventh for most of the season, the Angels left fielder was dropped to
ninth Saturday night against the
Oakland Athletics. Joyce went 0 for
3, but C.J. Wilson threw two-hit ball
over seven innings and the Angels
won, 1-0.
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t
frustrated and disappointed,”
Joyce said of his descent to the bottom of the order. “But I’m still in
the lineup. I’m still getting a chance
to play and make the most of it.”
Those chances could dry up
very soon if Joyce, 30, doesn’t shake
a season-long slump and give the
Angels something close to the production they expected when they
traded reliever Kevin Jepsen to
Tampa Bay for Joyce last winter.
Joyce entered Saturday with a
.181 average, .266 on-base percentage, .316 slugging percentage, four
homers, 17 runs batted in, 46 strikeouts and 18 walks. His wins-abovereplacement mark of -1.3 was the
second-lowest
among
major
league qualifiers.
As a comparison, Raul Ibanez
had a .157/.258/.265 slash line with
three homers and 21RBIs when the
Angels released him last June 21.
General Manager Jerry Dipoto
is pursuing left-handed-hitting
outfielders in trades, and Efren
Navarro, who has a knack for
stringing together quality at-bats,
could cut into Joyce’s playing time.
The Angels even began working
out third baseman Kyle Kubitza,
who was called up from triple-A
Salt Lake on Wednesday, in left
field Saturday to give them another possible left-handed-hitting option in the outfield. Kubitza has
played all of two minor league
games in left field in five years.
“I remember Gene Mauch saying something that always stuck
with me, that hitters will hit,” Angels hitting coach Don Baylor said.
“It might take two weeks, three
weeks, a month, but hitters will hit.
“So I keep thinking that will
happen with Matt, where something clicks, he gets a couple of hits,
he comes back the next day feeling
good about himself and gets a couple more hits. He’s just trying to figure his swing out.”
Joyce, who had a .250 career average with 88 homers in six seasons
entering 2015, improved during a
23-game stretch from May 12
through last Tuesday, compiling a
.254/.361/.479 slash line with three
homers, seven doubles, 10 RBIs

AT THE PLATE: Albert Pujols hit a solo homer in the first, his 10th homer
in 15 games and the 538th of his career. The shot to left field gave Pujols
1,636 career runs batted in, tying him with Ernie Banks for 29th on
baseball’s all-time list. Pujols became the sixth player in Angels history
and the first since Mo Vaughn in May of 2000 to hit 10 homers in a
15-game span. Third baseman David Freese, who did not start the
previous three games because of right hamstring tightness, had two hits
in three at-bats. Mike Trout fouled a ball hard off his right foot in the fifth
inning and crumpled to the ground, but he remained in the game.
ON THE MOUND: C.J. Wilson, 1-3 with a 6.00 earned-run average and six
homers given up in his previous five starts, was superb, giving up two hits
in seven shutout innings, striking out eight and walking three to improve
to 4-5 with a 3.60 ERA. The left-hander escaped a second-and-third,
two-out jam in the fifth by striking out Sam Fuld with a breaking ball in the
dirt and struck out two of three in the sixth. Joe Smith retired the side in
order with one strikeout in the eighth. Huston Street, who threw 26
high-stress pitches Friday night, walked Billy Butler with two outs in the
ninth but got pinch-hitter Josh Reddick to pop to short for his 19th save.
A’s right-hander Kendall Graveman gave up eight hits and struck out
seven in an eight-inning complete game.
LESS COWGILL: Collin Cowgill has hit what Manager Mike Scioscia called
“a plateau” in his recovery from a right wrist sprain, and the reserve
outfielder will travel to Arizona on Monday to be examined by a specialist.
“It hasn’t progressed the way we anticipated,” Scioscia said. “No doubt,
there’s a level of concern. Collin is one of those guys you don’t really
appreciate until he’s not there. He does so many things for us.”
ROSTER MOVE: The Angels added another strong-armed rookie to the
bullpen when they called up 22-year-old right-hander Trevor Gott, who
was acquired from San Diego in last July’s deal for Street. Gott had a
combined ERA of 2.25 in 25 games for double-A Arkansas and triple-A
Salt Lake, striking out 30 and walking 12 in 28 innings. His fastball has
jumped from the 93-mph range last summer to the 96-mph range, and he
has good command of a curve.
UP NEXT: Right-hander Matt Shoemaker (4-4, 4.86 ERA) will oppose
Oakland right-hander Sonny Gray (7-3, 1.74) at Angel Stadium on Sunday
at 12:30 p.m. TV: FS West; Radio: 830.

and 10 walks. But he has no RBIs in
his last 11 games.
“I’m nowhere near where I’d like
to be,” Joyce said. “It’s a daily grind.
Nobody’s going to lay pitches over
the heart of the plate. Defenses
aren’t going to let balls go by them.
I’m trying to get good pitches and
square them up.”
That has been a challenge.
Joyce’s hard-hit rate, the percentage of balls he puts in play that are
classified as hard hit, is a careerlow 23.6% according to Fangraphs,
far below his career rate of 30.7%.
According to Brooks Baseball,
the majority of Joyce’s strikeouts
are on off-speed and breaking
pitches, not fastballs.
“Just imagine if he wasn’t taking
his walks,” Baylor said. “A lot of
times when you’re not swinging
good, you’re swinging at everything.”
Joyce’s improved OBP is one of
the reasons he was moved to the
ninth spot.
“The one thing Matt has been
doing is getting on base,” Manager

Mike Scioscia said. “Though it’s
not ideal for any player to say I’m
hitting ninth, it’s important to the
structure of our lineup with Mike
[Trout] hitting second and Albert
[Pujols] third.”
The majority of Joyce’s ground
balls are hit to the right side, and
with opponents heavily shifting
against Joyce, most are outs.
Joyce said he works on hitting to
the opposite field in batting practice, “but you can’t really force it to
happen,” he said. “If they throw it
outside, try to stay on it and hit it
that way. It’s a lot easier said than
done.”
Baylor had some pointed words
for Joyce and Pujols about extreme
defensive alignments.
“I told them a month ago,
‘Screw the shift,’ ” Baylor said.
“Just hit the ball and let it go where
it’s going to go. You might hit into
the shift. And you might elevate a
ball and hit it out of the park.”

SAN DIEGO — Returning this
weekend to the stadium that was
once his home, Adrian Gonzalez
reflected on his evolution as a player.
Thinking about his days
playing for the San Diego Padres,
Gonzalez said wistfully, “Back
then, I could mishit home runs.”
And now?
“I don’t mishit home runs,” he
said with a laugh. “I have to hit it.”
Gonzalez nonetheless remains
a middle-of-the-lineup fixture at
33. On Saturday night, he batted
third for the Dodgers in the second
game of their three-game series
against the San Diego Padres at
Petco Park. The Dodgers lost, 2-1.
The four-time All-Star went
into the game batting .317 with 11
home runs and 40 runs batted in.
He was 0 for 4 on Saturday.
Gonzalez credits his continued
production on a change that was
recommended to him by Dodgers
hitting coach Mark McGwire.
When the left-handed-hitting
Gonzalez was selected to his first
All-Star teams with the Padres, he
often looked to drive the ball to leftcenter field. That was the case for
his first couple of seasons with the
Dodgers.
Some time last season, the first
baseman started looking to drive
the ball to right-center field.
“You have to evolve as a player,
as a hitter, as you get older,” Gonzalez said. “When I was in my early
20s, I could sit up there, wait for a
fastball away and hit it out to left. If
I hit it to left good, it was a home
run. You had more kid’s strength. If
I do the same thing now, it’s probably caught at the wall. Even
though you get stronger as you get
older, your swing isn’t as quick or
there’s not as much thump behind
it.”
McGwire said he was aware of
Gonzalez’s reputation as an opposite-field hitter. But McGwire was
also aware Gonzalez underwent a
major shoulder operation leading
up to the 2011 season.
There were also changes in the
sport to consider.
McGwire said there are significantly more hard-throwing pitchers now than when he played.
“You’d get maybe a handful of
guys that threw 95-plus throughout the division,” McGwire said.
“Now, it seems like you get a handful of guys per team.”
But these same pitchers often
lack refinement and are prone to
making mistakes.
By looking more for fastballs on
the inside half of the plate, Gonzalez believes he can take advantage
of the conditions.
“If you’re thinking left center,
you might be thinking fastball
away, let it get deep and stay on the
off-speed stuff,” he said. “If you’re
thinking more right center, if he
throws a fastball in the strike zone,
I’m going to hit it in front.”
The new approach worked.
Gonzalez finished last season
with 27 home runs. The last time he
hit more was in 2010.
He has stuck with the plan.
Of his 11 home runs this season,
only one was to left field, according
to ESPN’s home run tracker. That
marks a radical shift from his 2009
season with the Padres, when 24 of
his career-high 40 home runs were
to left field.
The recovered power, however,
comes at a cost.
“Looking middle-in to drive the
ball, I don’t see it as a hit-for-average mentality,” he said. “I see it
more as a .280 with 25 to 35 [home
runs]. If I had more of a singles upthe-middle-or-other-way
approach, I’d be more of a .300 hitter
but more of a 20-home run guy.”

F R I DAY
6/19
7:10 P M

ON THE MOUND: Greinke’s
personal winless streak extended
to seven starts, as the
right-hander was failed again by
the Dodgers offense. Greinke was
charged with two runs and eight
hits over eight innings. He struck
out seven and walked one.
Greinke has posted a 2.28
earned-run average over his
current winless streak.
AT THE PLATE: Padres starter
Ian Kennedy limited the Dodgers
to a run and four hits over the
first seven innings of the game.
The Dodgers scored their only
run on a leadoff home run by
Yasmani Grandal in the top of the
third inning. That tied the score,
1-1. The Dodgers finished the
game with five hits. Yasiel Puig
led off the ninth inning with a
single off Padres closer Craig
Kimbrel, but Adrian Gonzalez
followed that up by grounding
into a double play. Howie
Kendrick struck out to end the
game.
EXTRA BASES: Hector Olivera
was hitless in four at-bats in his
first game with triple-A
Oklahoma City. Promoted from
double A the previous day,
Olivera started at second base
and batted seventh. … Sidelined
outfielder Scott Van Slyke started
a minor league rehabilitation
assignment with Class-A Rancho
Cucamonga.
DISCIPLINARY REPORT:
Gonzalez was unapologetic about
his seventh-inning ejection in the
series opener Friday night.
Gonzalez maintained that his
at-bats in the fifth and seventh
innings of the 4-3 victory were
compromised by errant strike
calls by home plate umpire Doug
Eddings. Gonzalez said that when
he protested a called first strike
in his seventh-inning at-bat, he
was told by Eddings, “You know
what? Now, you have to swing at
that pitch.” Gonzalez said he
became enraged. “At that point,
that’s when I lost it,” he said.
“There’s no way I was staying in
the game if I made an out.”
Gonzalez grounded into an
inning-ending double play, after
which he exchanged words with
Eddings and was thrown out.
UP NEXT: Mike Bolsinger (4-1,
2.08 ERA) will face the Padres
and James Shields (7-0, 3.79) at
Petco Park on Sunday at 1 p.m.
TV: SportsNet LA; Radio: 570,
1020.
— Dylan Hernandez
In what he believes was the best
season of his career, he batted a
relatively modest .276.
Gonzalez attributes the decrease in batting average to the defensive shifts he often faces.
“You know that if you hit the ball
on the ground, you’re out,” he said.
“You’re going to hit balls hard into
the shifts and there’s nothing you
can do about it. People always go,
‘Hit the ball the other way for a hit.’
Well, yeah, I could, but I’m not going to hit home runs. I can hit for
average that way, but do you want
your first baseman to be a .300 hitter with 10 homers? Don’t tell me to
hit the ball the other way but still
ask me to hit home runs. You’re not
going to get both.”

AROUND THE LEAGUE

Hunter drops
appeal of ban
Minnesota outfielder Torii
Hunter dropped the appeal of his
two-game suspension and started
serving it Saturday.
Hunter was in the original lineup for Saturday’s game at Texas.
His decision was announced by the
Twins about an hour before the
scheduled first pitch in the middle
game of a three-game series.
After sitting out consecutive
day games Saturday and Sunday,
Hunter will be reinstated before
Monday’s game at St. Louis.
Major League Baseball on Friday suspended Hunter and also
fined him an undisclosed amount
for his equipment-throwing tantrum during Wednesday’s home
game against Kansas City.
Hunter said Friday that he was
appealing, calling the two-game
suspension a “little harsh” before
playing in the game.

Etc.

The Kansas City Royals placed
left-hander Jason Vargas, who has
a strained left forearm, on the 15day disabled list, backdated to
June 9. . . . The New York Mets have
reacquired Kirk Nieuwenhuis.

Allen Webster, who spent the first two
months in the minors after starting 11
games for Boston last season, didn’t
give up a hit until the sixth inning in his
Arizona debut. He pitched 52⁄3 innings.

Logan Morrison homered twice and
tied a career high with five RBIs. Seattle jumped on Collin McHugh (6-3) for
five runs in the first inning, a day after
Houston roughed up Felix Hernandez.

INSIDE BASEBALL
From D.C. to N.Y. or L.A.?

TOP OF THE ORDER
Zach Helfand ranks the 30 teams.
Last week’s ranking in parentheses,
statistics are through Friday’s games:

1. ST. LOUIS: Best record but
the best fans in baseball? Judging by All-Star voting, same
state, but look west. (1)
2. DODGERS: A Clayton Kershaw advisory is in effect for the
National League West. (5)
3. KANSAS CITY: Had them
ranked ninth, but then the Royals fans stuffed the ballot box.
(6)
4. PITTSBURGH: A.J. Burnett
says this will be his last season.
Right now, it’s also his best. (4)
5. CHICAGO CUBS: Need an
ace but it hasn’t been Jon Lester.
He’s 4-5 with a 4.25 earned-run
average. (10)
6. NEW YORK YANKEES:
Mason Williams’ first major
league hit was a home run. (12)
7. HOUSTON: How will the
Astros react to their first snag of
the season, a seven-game losing
streak? (3)
8. MINNESOTA: Torii Hunter
just made Twins games NSFW.
(2)
9. SAN FRANCISCO: Chris
Heston went from a 47th-round
selection in the draft to a nohitter. Not bad. (9)
10. NEW YORK METS: Get
no-hit, then take over first place
two games later. The 2015 Mets,
everybody. (8)
11. TAMPA BAY: Paula Abdul
threw out the first pitch at the
Rays game — from four feet
away. (14)
12. TORONTO: After nine
straight wins, the Blue Jays
owned the second best run differential in the majors. (21)
13. TEXAS: Raise your hand if
you had the Astros and the
Rangers at Nos. 1 and 2 in the
division in June. (11)
14. WASHINGTON: The Nationals have had three threegame losing streaks since May
30. (7)
15. ANGELS: Hey, at least the
losing streak ended at five
games. (13)
16. BALTIMORE: And, hey, look
at the Orioles. Lost five games in
a row, then won five in a row. (20)
17. SAN DIEGO: Nothing’s going
right for Matt Kemp. He got hit
by a pitch, then tackled by an
umpire. (15)
18. DETROIT: The Tigers’ best
pitcher after David Price is Alfredo Simon. That’s a problem.
(18)
19. CINCINNATI: Somewhat
quietly, Todd Frazier has been
the best third baseman in the
majors this season. (26)

had a tough run before last year.
They’re really eating it up.”
Kansas City advanced to the
World Series last season, its first
postseason appearance in 29
years, and home attendance is
up 44% this season. The last
Royals player elected to start an
All-Star game: outfielder Jermaine Dye, 15 years ago.
The All-Star game should be
about giving the fans what they
want to see, and Royals fans
have spoken the loudest.
But the voting offers the
latest reminder of how Major
League Baseball tries to have it
both ways — a giddy celebration
of baseball’s most popular players, and a serious game infused
with trumped-up importance,
with the winning league rewarded with home-field advantage in the World Series.
If you truly are playing to
win, Trout plays the whole
game.
When the National League
won the All-Star game 50 years
ago, the majority of the lineup
played the whole game: Hank
Aaron, Ernie Banks, Willie
Mays, Pete Rose and Joe Torre.
Willie Stargell, the left fielder,
yielded his final two at-bats — to
Roberto Clemente.

BILL SHAIKIN
ON BASEBALL

The last few years have not
been kind to fans of the New
York Yankees, at least not to the
ones conditioned to believe
every great young player is
destined to be seduced by the
Yankees’ wallets, er, tradition.
Clayton Kershaw shrugged
off free agency and stayed with
the Dodgers. Mike Trout did the
same with the Angels. So did
Buster Posey with the San
Francisco Giants, Felix Hernandez with the Seattle Mariners
and Giancarlo Stanton with the
Miami Marlins.
Bryce Harper showed up at
Yankee Stadium last week, and
the faithful showered him with
chants. “FU-TURE YAN-KEE”
was one. So was “2019,” in reference to the first year he could
play for the Yankees, or any
other team. The Washington
Nationals control their star
outfielder through 2018.
Harper said all the right
things about enjoying his time
with the Nationals, how ownership has treated him well, and
how he wants to bring a championship to Washington. But it is
difficult to imagine Harper
passing up a chance at free
agency; clients of agent Scott
Boras almost always test the
market.
It has been suggested it
would be a surprise if Harper
did not sign with the Yankees.
The argument is that Harper
would be extraordinarily marketable in New York, and that
the Yankees have several massive contracts expiring before
2019 and could afford whatever it
took to sign him.
All true of the Dodgers too.
And Harper might well judge
the Dodgers as the team that
gives him the best chance to
win.
The Nationals never have
won a postseason series. Although they were projected as
the best team in the National
League this season, they are two
games over .500.
The Yankees are old. Their
only starting position player
under 30 is shortstop Didi
Gregorius, whose on-base percentage and slugging percentage were both under .300 before
the weekend. Of Baseball
America’s top 30 prospects, the
Yankees have none. Baseball
America ranks their organizational talent 18th among the 30
major league clubs.
The Dodgers rank third, and
their minor league system is
about to get much deeper, after
they conduct an expensive raid
on Latin American talent when
the signing period opens July 2.
The Yankees have spent heavily
there, and baseball rules preclude them from doing it again

Dollars and sense

Kathy Willens Associated Press

BRYCE HARPER of Washington, who will become a free

agent in 2019, could be coveted by the Yankees and Dodgers.
this year.
If the Dodgers’ top prospects
pan out, imagine a franchise
foundation of Harper, outfielder
Joc Pederson, infielder Corey
Seager and pitcher Julio Urias.
Harper and Pederson would
turn 27 in 2019. Seager would be
25. Urias would be 23.
The Dodgers would be wary
of investing so much money in
one player, and team President
Stan Kasten has said he would
be reluctant to acquire a player
whose contract extended beyond age 36. But even a 10-year
contract for Harper would
expire before he turned 36.
Harper grew up a Yankees
fan, idolizing Mickey Mantle.
And his swing is all but designed
for Yankee Stadium. But maybe
Harper wants to play close to his
Las Vegas home, leading a cast
of young stars. He grew up
idolizing Vin Scully too.
It has been a long time since
the Dodgers and Yankees had a
bidding war. The Dodgers were
not interested in Masahiro
Tanaka. The Yankees were not
interested in Zack Greinke or
Manny Ramirez. The Dodgers,
under previous ownership,
could not afford to make a run
at Alex Rodriguez or CC
Sabathia.

26. SEATTLE: The American
League West is essentially the
inverse of the prevailing preseason predictions. (27)
27. BOSTON: The worst defensive player in the league by runs
given up? That’s Hanley Ramirez. (28)
28. OAKLAND: The Athletics
are still outscoring opponents.
But they still have the worst
record in the AL. (22)
29. MILWAUKEE: Congrats,
Brewers. You no longer have the
league’s worst record. (29)
30. PHILADELPHIA: The Phillies overtake Milwaukee for the
worst record in the NL. (30)

Boston Red Sox designated hitter.
Ortiz, 39, hit a home run Saturday
but entered play with a batting
average of .225 overall, .114 against
left-handed pitching, and a -0.2
WAR (wins above replacement),
one of the six lowest WAR figures
among American League regulars.

22. CLEVELAND: Can Matthew
Dellavedova play baseball? The
Indians can use some defensive
help. (17)

25. MIAMI: Giancarlo Stanton
has 22 home runs. The rest of the
team combined has 29. (25)

Billy Butler played eight
seasons with the Kansas City
Royals, most of them good ones.
He was selected to one All-Star
team, as a reserve. Little did he
know that, in his first year
playing for another team, Royals fans would turn the All-Star
game into the Kansas City Invitational.
Of the nine elected starters
for the American League team,
the only non-Royals players
among voting leaders are Trout
and Houston Astros second
baseman Jose Altuve.
“You can see what a little bit
of winning does,” said Butler
while in Anaheim with the Oakland Athletics. “I would have
liked to have had that a few
more times. I made All-Star in
2012, but I had some definitely
worthy years other times. The
teams I was on weren’t very
good. I just kind of got overlooked.
“That town has been a baseball town for a long time. They

“Everybody’s time is up at
some point. I don’t think
that’s my problem,
though.”

21. ATLANTA: Juan Uribe is in a
better place now. He has started
in all but two games with the
Braves. (16)

24. COLORADO: The Rockies
actually have a winning record in
games outside the division. (23)

his last four starts, Chris Sale
has given up four runs and
struck out 49 batters. (24)

23. ARIZONA: Paul Goldschmidt is second in the NL in home
runs, runs, average, RBIs and
wins above replacement. (19)

If Harper maintains his
excellence, his next deal could
approach $500 million no matter
whether his cap has a curly W,
an interlocking NY, or an interlocking LA.

In 2013, in his first season as
an everyday player, infielder
Jedd Gyorko hit 23 home runs
for the San Diego Padres. In
2013, in his first season as an
everyday player, infielder Matt
Dominguez hit 21 home runs for
the Houston Astros.
The Padres signed Gyorko
for six years and $36 million. The
Astros offered long-term contracts to several young players,
including a reported five years
and $14.5 million to Dominguez.
He was not the only player to
say no to an Astros offer, and
not unjustifiably.
If he continued to hit, Dominguez might have made as
much in one year alone at the
back end of his contract as the
Astros proposed to guarantee
for all five years.
But such bargains are the
price of security for a young
player, when the team takes the
risk of non-performance. That is
worth remembering when
agents criticize teams for trying
to take advantage of a young
player with a below-market
contract.
The Padres demoted Gyorko
to the minor leagues last week,
but he has $33 million guaranteed beyond this year, even if he
never makes it back to the big
leagues.
The Astros designated Dominguez for assignment last
week, and he has zero dollars
guaranteed beyond this year.

Ernie Clement had a runscoring single in the ninth inning. The Cavaliers scored
all of their runs with two

Virginia starter Connor

The people of Omaha like
their steaks big and their college baseball programs
small.
That’s why Cal State Fullerton probably will have
strong support at the College
World Series beginning Sunday when the Titans open
against defending national
champion Vanderbilt at 5
p.m. PDT.
Each June, the hometown
fans pack TD Ameritrade
Park — and, before the new
ballpark, Rosenblatt Stadium — regardless of
whether local favorites Nebraska or Creighton are part
of the field. The Cornhuskers
and Bluejays have combined
for four appearances in the
tournament’s 65-year history, so the locals often are
looking for a team to adopt.
Typically, they choose an
underdog, whether that is a
regional No. 4 seed such as
Fresno State, which won the
national championship in
2008; an upstart making its
first appearance, such as
Stony Brook or Kent State in
2012; or a traditional baseball
power from a school without
a football program such as
Fullerton.
“The people of the city of
Omaha are kind of the bluecollar people. They’re the
hardworking people,” said
Fullerton assistant Chad
Baum, who is making his
fifth College World Series appearance as a player and
coach with the Titans. “They
kind of relate and know we’re
that little commuter school,
that little blip, and they kind
of gravitate toward us.”
The Titans got here by
producing runs with walks,
hit batters and sacrifices.
They win with pitching and
defense rather than a slew of
highly drafted sluggers.

Thompson led the nation in
home runs.
Fullerton counters with
the stingiest pitcher in college baseball, Thomas Eshelman, who has an 18.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and a lineup that has hit a pedestrian
.265.
The Titans also play to
the crowd. The coaching staff
instructs the players to
throw beach balls back into
the stands rather than out of
play, part of an effort to be
the most fan-friendly contingent in the eight-team field.
“We’ve been lucky enough
to have dudes that win the
crowd when we’ve played
here,” Baum said, citing former Titans Mark Kotsay,
Kurt Suzuki and Jason
Windsor.
This year, Fullerton has
another potential crowd winner in closer Tyler Peitzmeier. The senior lefthander, who pitched eight innings in relief in last weekend’s super regional series
win over Louisville, is the
only Titan from outside of
California. He is from Yutan,
Neb. — 25 miles west of
Omaha.
“I actually grew up in
Omaha,” Peitzmeier said.
“My parents would buy me a
10-pack of general admission

tickets every year when it was
back at Rosenblatt.”
Peitzmeier became a Fullerton fan after seeing the Titans play Nebraska here in
2001. He is looking forward to
playing in front of his family
and friends, and said his parents might be even more excited than he is.
“It means a lot to them because they grew up in Omaha
here too,” Peitzmeier said.
“They’ve grown up around
the College World Series and
I think it’s been a dream for
them for me to come back.”

Reunited

For the second week in a
row, Eshelman will oppose a
fellow USA Baseball Collegiate National Team member.
Last week, Eshelman and the
Titans bested Louisville’s
Kyle Funkhouser, who was
the 35th pick overall, by the
Dodgers, in the MLB draft.
Sunday, it will be Vanderbilt
right-hander Carson Fulmer,
the No. 8 overall pick.
“You always want to play
the best, and with him in the
opposite dugout it’s going to
be a hard game,” said Eshelman, who was the 46th pick
of the draft, by the Houston
Astros. “We’re going to have a
difficult time putting up runs
against him, but we’re just
going to try to grind like we
always do.”
The Titans have a strong
track record against Team
USA members. Eshelman
previously defeated UC
Santa Barbara right-hander
Dillon Tate — the No. 4 overall pick in the draft, by Texas
— and the Titans won a
three-game series against infielder Mark Mathias’ Cal
Poly team and the Fullerton
Regional, which included Arizona State closer Ryan Burr
and Clemson catcher Chris
Okey.
Along with Eshelman and
injured Fullerton starter Justin Garza, there are six members of last summer’s Team
USA squad participating in
the College World Series.
Three are from Vanderbilt:
Fulmer, outfielder Bryan
Reynolds and shortstop
Swanson.
“I’m really looking forward to facing Dansby,” Eshelman said. “I think he’s obviously the best player in the
draft and all of Division I.”

A major drop in use seen, but it’s still ‘part of the game’
[Tobacco, from D1]
took his life at age 54.
Curt Schilling, a former
All-Star pitcher, said last
year he had undergone
treatment for cancer that resulted from smokeless tobacco use. In April, he
penned an open letter to his
younger self warning of the
dangers.
And last month, the mayor of San Francisco signed
an ordinance that in 2016 will
ban tobacco from all sporting venues in the city, including AT&T Park, home of the
defending World Series
champion San Francisco Giants.
That has not stopped
many college players from
using smokeless tobacco.
“No matter how many
times you look a guy in the
eye and say Tony Gwynn
and Curt Schilling, if that
guy wants to dip, he’s going
to find a way,” said Andy Lopez, who guided Pepperdine
and Arizona to national titles before retiring last
month after 33 years as a college coach.
The NCAA prohibits
players, coaches, umpires,
athletic trainers and managers from using tobacco at
game sites. If umpires catch

players using tobacco, the
player and coach face ejection.
“There is zero tolerance,”
said Chuck Lyon, a college
umpire for nearly three decades.
According to the NCAA
rule book, “Umpires who use
tobacco before, during or after a game in the vicinity of
the site shall be reported to
and punished by the proper
disciplinary authority.”
Players and coaches interviewed for this story said
they had seen umpires using
tobacco. But Lyon said, “As a
crew chief, I would turn that
in immediately.”
Results of the NCAA’s
most recent quadrennial
survey of about 21,000 college
athletes from all sports
showed that tobacco use by
college baseball players was
decreasing. The 2013 results,
released last July in a report
titled, “NCAA National
Study of Substance Abuse
Habits of College StudentAthletes,” showed a drop in
“spit” tobacco use since 2009.
In 2005, the overall percentage of acknowledged
use in the previous 12
months was 42.5%. It
climbed to 52.3% in 2009, but
dropped to 47.2% in 2013 —

though that’s still nearly half
of the players in a sport in
which it is banned.
Coaches said they address tobacco with their
players before every season.
“You also bring it up
throughout the season,”
UCLA Coach John Savage
said, “but it’s not a daily reminder.”
Cal State Northridge
Coach Greg Moore said, “We
educate them constantly
and
talk
about
their
choices.” But, he added, “I
know that me saying smokeless tobacco is unhealthy is
not going to get a guy to
change his habit.”
The California Interscholastic Federation, which governs high school sports in
the state, forbids the use of
tobacco products by athletes and coaches. But most
players say they first experimented with tobacco in high
school.
“They get into it for the
same reason 12-year-olds
start smoking — they think
it’s a cool thing to do,” UC Irvine Coach Mike Gillespie
said.
Chatsworth Coach Tom
Meusborn said tobacco use
by players has dropped dramatically since he began at
the school in 1990. “I think
they understand and are becoming more health conscious with their training
and diet,” he said.
Jim Ozella, Newhall
Hart’s coach since 2000, also
sees fewer high school players using tobacco. “I just
bring up the topic of Tony
Gwynn,” said Ozella, whose
son worked as an equipment
manager at San Diego State
when Gwynn coached there.
College players said they
were aware of the risks of using tobacco products.
Still, Cal State Northridge
infielder
William
Colantono began to dip as a
young member of a mostly
older varsity high school
team. “Being around them, I

while using smokeless tobacco during spring training.
picked it up,” he said. “Not
that I’m proud of it.”
Colantono said that
while most of his summer
league teammates used
smokeless tobacco, only “a
handful” of his Northridge
teammates do, and they
partake off the field.
“It’s easy for me not to
have to do it on the field,” he
said. “I’m not crazy about it
where I have to have it all the
time.”
Eshelman,
Fullerton’s

ace right-hander, started to
dip in high school because “I
thought it was cool.” Fellow
Titans pitcher John Gavin
began in high school on “a
dare.” Both said they occasionally use tobacco, but not
on the field.
“After a game when you
want to hang out and relax,”
said Eshelman, a junior.
“Just kind of a stress reliever,” said Gavin, a freshman.
Several college baseball

summer leagues, which have
rosters comprised of players
from across the United
States, also ban the use of tobacco during games.
Sal Colangelo, longtime
manager of the Bethesda
(Md.) Big Train in the Cal
Ripken Collegiate League,
said he attempts to educate
players, but for some “it’s a
way of life.”
“You go into their trucks
and there are cases and
cases of tobacco and dip,” he
said. “It’s like a 7-Eleven.”
Several coaches from
West Coast schools acknowledged using tobacco,
though a few agreed to speak
about it only if they were not
identified.
One, who said he recently
quit, recalled an umpire
once threatening to eject
him for chewing when he
went out to argue a call. Another, who has used smokeless tobacco for more than
two decades, admitted he
was addicted.
“For me, personally, that
would be one of my greatest
accomplishments if I can
stop,” he said.
Former
Pepperdine
Coach Steve Rodriguez
played on Pepperdine’s 1992
national
championship
team and professionally for
seven seasons, including 18
games in the majors. He
coached the Waves for 12
seasons before being hired
last week as coach of Baylor.
He said he chewed leaf tobacco until about five years
ago.
“I was a hypocrite because I would say, ‘You can’t
do it,’ but I would still do it,”
he said, adding he is now
passionate about educating
his players about the risks.
“I want to make sure,” he
said, “that I give them the
best opportunity to not have
to deal with really, really big
issues.”

Werdum defeats rusty Velasquez

Fabricio Werdum of Brazil defeated a rusty Cain Velasquez by
tap-out in the third round to become the undisputed heavyweight
champion at UFC 188 on Saturday
night at Mexico City.
With 2 minutes 13 seconds left in
the third round, Werdum (20-5-1)
took down Velasquez, who was

world record of 19.19. Tyson Gay
won the 100, rallying after a slow
start to finish in 10.12 while running
into a headwind. Francena McCo-

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

On familiar turf

U.S. forward Leroux expects an emotional time playing Tuesday in hometown of Vancouver, Canada

By Kevin Baxter
VANCOUVER, Canada
— Ray Chadwick hasn’t spoken to his daughter for a
year. Her choice, he says, not
his.
But this week he plans to
make the 31⁄2-hour drive
from his home in south-central British Columbia to
Vancouver to be near her
just the same. So when forward Sydney Leroux takes
the soccer field for the
United States on Tuesday in
the final game of group play
in the women’s World Cup,
she may not know her father
is there, but his voice will
among those cheering her
the loudest.
“Of course I wouldn’t
miss it,” he said.
A former pitcher with the
Angels, Chadwick was absent through much of Leroux’s childhood, so the two
were never close. But they
were never as distant as they
have been over the last year.
“I don’t talk to him,” Leroux said coldly. She didn’t
say why, nor will Chadwick.
“She doesn’t want to talk
about it, so I won’t talk about
it,” he said. “I’m not going to
put it out there in the media.”
Yet, Leroux, 25, wouldn’t
be playing for the U.S. national team if not for her father, and not just because of
the obvious physical gifts he
gave her. Leroux’s mother,
Sandi, also deserves credit
for that since she, too, was a
talented
athlete,
good
enough to play third base for
Canada’s national softball
team.
She was also the more
supportive parent, working
odd hours so she could attend her daughter’s baseball
— Sydney, who once
dreamed of being the first female major league player,
played in boys’ leagues from
the age of 5 — and soccer
games.
But Chadwick gave his
daughter something her
mother couldn’t — dual nationality, making her eligible
to play for the U.S. national
team.

Jewel Samad Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

SYDNEY LEROUX , a native of Canada and a forward on the U.S. women’s soccer team, says, “It’s a crazy

story for me to come home, for me to play in front of my family, my friends in an American jersey.”
Chadwick, who grew up
in North Carolina, was
pitching for a minor league
team in Vancouver when he
met Sandi at a Canadian
Football League game. The
two dated for a while, but
shortly after Leroux discovered she was pregnant,
Chadwick went off to pitch in
winter ball. By the time Sydney was born in suburban
Vancouver the next spring,
her parents had separated.
As a result, Leroux grew
up Canadian, even playing
for that country in the U-19
World Cup at 14, making her
the youngest player in the
tournament. Her dream,
however, was to play for the
U.S., a team she had been enamored with since watching
it win the 1999 World Cup in
front of 90,000 in the Rose
Bowl.
So she told her mother
she would play in the U.S. or
not play at all.
“I believe in myself. And I

wanted to put myself in a position where I could become
better and I could play on
the best team in the world,
which I still think is the
United States,” she said.
At 15, Leroux left home

ronto.
After being booed by the
sellout crowd when she
came off the bench, Leroux
scored in stoppage time to
close out a 3-0 win. She celebrated by flashing the U.S.
crest on her blue-and-white
jersey to the crowd, then lifting an index finger to her lips
to shush the spectators.
“Syd revels in having
something to prove. That’s
when you get your very best
from Syd,” said U.S. Coach
Jill Ellis, who also recruited
Leroux to UCLA. “Her personality, it’s a kind of bringit-on personality.”
The
demonstration
earned her a yellow card, but
it also showed that if the
U.S.-Canada rivalry needed
a villain, Leroux would be
happy to accept the role.
“It makes it fun, it makes
it exciting,” she said.
Tuesday’s game will
mark Leroux’s second trip
home to Vancouver with the
U.S. national team, but this
visit is all business. Although the U.S. leads its
group standings going into
the game with Nigeria, Leroux is one of a number of
U.S. players who haven’t
played well in the tournament.
They’ll all need to get better if Leroux hopes to make
it back to her hometown for
the World Cup final in three
weeks.
“It’s different for me because I’m going to be putting
on a U.S. jersey in my home
country,” said Leroux, who
has 35 goals in 73 games for
the U.S. “That’s going to be
emotional. It’s a crazy story
for me to come home, for me
to play in front of my family,
my friends in an American
jersey.
“There’s nothing like it.”
Up in the stands, Chadwick promises he’ll be
watching, and smiling, regardless of how the game
ends.
“I watch from afar and I
know that she’s successful
and happy,” Chadwick said.
“And as a father, that’s all
you want.”

FORMER ANGELS pitcher Ray Chadwick and

daughter Sydney Leroux are estranged.

[Plaschke, from D1]
“We live in such a patriarchal sports culture, it
continually diminishes the
talents and accomplishments of women while highlighting their objectification,”
said Dan Lebowitz, executive
director of the Center for the
Study of Sport in Society at
Northeastern University.
“You look at the Women’s
World Cup, it’s there at the
forefront once again.”
It started before the
tournament started, when
FIFA, soccer’s loathsome
governing body, decided for
the first time to allow a World
Cup to be played on artificial
turf. The six Canadian host
cities made the request
because of the difficulty in
growing the proper grass in
their climate. FIFA agreed
even though, for soccer
games in the summer, such
turf is hot, slippery and dangerous.
Several high-profile players sued FIFA over the decision based on gender equity
— the men have never played
on artificial turf — but that
suit was dropped. Still, the
effects have already been
seen in games played on
fields as hot as 120 degrees.
There have been numerous
slips and muscle cramping
among players struggling
after nearly two hours of
running on what is essentially concrete.
“The players won’t say it,
but I will: The field situation
is terrible, it’s crazy,” said
Foudy, a television analyst
and former national team
co-captain. “FIFA calls themselves guardians of the game,
but there’s no way the guardian of the game for both men
and women would hold a
World Cup on turf.”
The foolishness continued
when the tournament began
with Hope Solo in goal for the
U.S. team despite the uncovering of documents indicating she was the aggressor in
an alleged domestic violence
incident last spring. Although the case had been
dropped for procedural
reasons, police records,
depositions and interviews
obtained by ESPN’s “Outside

for the U.S., living first with a
host family in Seattle, where
things didn’t work out, and
then with six others in Arizona, where she excelled in soccer.
By the time she entered

the Lines” allege Solo
slammed her teenage nephew’s head into the floor during the altercation.
Unlike players involved in
recent domestic violence
cases in the NFL, Solo was
not punished for the incident,
and U.S. Soccer President
Sunil Gulati shamefully
acknowledged Saturday the
federation never fully investigated it.
If this were a men’s sport,
the appropriateness of Solo
playing under these circumstances would have been
loudly questioned until public pressure forced her from
the team. But sadly, women
are still viewed differently,
more like a cute sideshow

college, Leroux, then 18, was
being invited to play for a
U.S. age-group team. But
first she would need permission from FIFA to switch allegiances, and once she received it, there would be no
going back.
Leroux
didn’t
think
twice, pulling on the U.S. jersey, then scoring a tournament-high five goals to lead
the team to the U-20 World
Cup title.
“I don’t regret anything,”
she said. “My life would be
completely different. So I
haven’t really thought of
that. I’m just very happy to
be where I am today. Because it has been a journey.”
At UCLA, she tied the
school’s season record with
23 goals as a sophomore.
And by her senior year, she
was playing for the senior
national team, which didn’t
go over so well back home
when she returned for a notso-friendly friendly in To-

Smith later apologized on
Twitter, but the notion of
these players as AYSO
Barbies remains strong in the
minds even among those who
should know better.
“That is a prominent
example of the framework
through which most people
look at female sports,” said
Lebowitz. “The play in this
Women’s World Cup rivals
anything you will see anywhere in sports — the speed
of the game, the incredible
athleticism of the game, yet
it’s obscured by the idiocy of
some of the ideas [about]
female athletes.”
America’s Title IX-inspired female athletes are the
greatest in the world, and

‘The play in this Women’s World Cup
rivals anything you will see anywhere in
sports ... yet it’s obscured by the idiocy of
some of the ideas [about] female athletes.’
— Dan Lebowitz, executive director of the Center for the

Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University

than a group of serious athletes whose representation of
the U.S. is vital and whose
national impact is real.
A low point took place on
the Women’s World Cup’s
home TV network, Fox, when
Solo’s troubles were showered with nauseating indifference.
“Save it for Judge Judy,”
Eric Wynalda, a former U.S.
men’s star, said during a
televised discussion. “I don’t
really need to know what is
going on the outside of the
field right now.”
Save it for Judge Judy?
Can you imagine if someone
said that about Ray Rice?
Then the tournament
began and, of course, somebody with a giant microphone just had to make a
sexist remark. This time it
was ESPN’s Stephen A.
Smith, who commented on
German players turning their
heads away from the ball
during a brilliant free-kick
goal by Norway, saying,
“They might not have wanted
to mess their hair.”

should be held to the highest
standard. Yet even now, in
the tournament’s televised
discussions and written
accounts, there are few hard
criticisms of a group that has
a scary win against 10thranked Australia and a
dispirited tie against fifthranked Sweden.
There has been very little
questioning about the benching of veteran Abby Wambach, who is third in career
World Cup goals. Yet remember the outrage last summer
when the U.S. men’s team cut
veteran Landon Donovan?
Several U.S. players have
clearly underachieved, particularly the front line and
midfielders — except for
irrepressible Megan Rapinoe
— yet many concerns are
muted or couched.
Sometimes the difference
on television can be found in
what the Fox announcers
don’t say. In the 64th minute
against Sweden on Friday,
Carli Lloyd collided heads so
hard with Sweden’s Jessica
Samuelsson that Lloyd was

[email protected]

sprawled out in pain while
Samuelson was briefly taken
from the field for treatment
of a huge gash on her head.
Both players finished the
game, and not once did anyone mention the idea they
should have been pulled out
to undergo a concussion
examination.
If this were a men’s sport
— remember Stephen Curry
against Memphis early in the
NBA playoffs? — there would
have been outrage.
Michael Messner, professor of sociology and gender
studies at USC and coauthor
of a recently released study of
how TV news media covers
women’s sports, said his
research shows women are
constantly discussed in
softer tones.
“The excitement level we
see in the coverage of women’s sports is mostly bland,”
he said. “Women athletes are
framed in safe sorts of ways,
as mothers, girls next door,
girlfriends, categories we can
be comfortable with.”
There’s at least one area
in which this dynamic is
thankfully changing, that
being Twitter, where Foudy
said the increased public
questioning is welcome after
years in which, after a bad
game, she would get angry
that nobody seemed to care
enough to rip.
“While the criticism is
obviously not to the level of
the men’s game, it’s still
light-years ahead of when I
played,” said Foudy. “It’s a
sign of respect that we are
talking about what the U.S
should do to get better, poking holes in our strategy.
That’s a good thing.”
One step forward, one
step back into the manhole.
At the end of Friday’s telecast, Fox showed a Women’s
World Cup promo featuring
fans in a bar — apparently
watching women’s soccer on
television. The most distinct
fan is a bald guy raising his
right fist in triumph.
The guy is proudly wearing a U.S. national team
souvenir: a Cobi Jones jersey.

Spain

match with Colombia last
week after referee Therese
Neguel of Cameroon waved
off a late goal by Charlyn
Corral that video replays
showed should have counted.
Neguel, officiating her
first World Cup game, relied
on the first use of goal-line
technology in a women’s
World Cup to award Mexico’s
goal in that same game.
“I got the impression that
we have a group of referees
that are not familiar with the
level of the competition, with
the scenario, with the type of
game that they are going to
face,” Mexican Coach Leonardo Cuellar said. “On one
play, they changed three
times their decision. It was always on the edge.”
Coaches were told before
the tournament to be tolerant of referees’ mistakes. But
Cuellar said there is a noticeable difference in the quality
of officiating for his team’s
games and games played by
Germany or Canada, whose
second match drew highly respected referee Bibiana
Steinhaus, the first female to
call men’s professional games
in Germany.
“They’re not petrified or
wondering what they’re going to call,” said Cuellar,
whose team is unlikely to advance after losing to England
on Saturday. “I might get reprimanded for my comments,
but teams work very hard to
qualify and teams work very
hard to be prepared and they
want to be on even ground.”

COLOMBIA’S SANDRA SEPULVEDA stops the ball during a Group F match

against France, which lost despite outshooting Colombia, 21-3.

Lady Andrade and Catalina Usme scored goals as Colombia stunned third-ranked
France, 2-0, on Saturday in
one of the biggest upsets in
Women’s World Cup history.
The underdog Colombians opened the scoring in the
19th minute. Andrade broke
free from a pair of defenders
for a tap-in goal.
Usme clinched her country’s first World Cup win with

a goal on the counterattack in
the 93rd minute.
“We’ve proved that we’re
not just here to make up the
numbers. We knew that we’d
have to play intelligently and
fight for every ball. My players
are real battlers,” Colombia
Coach Fabian Taborda said
of his 28th-ranked team.
The French lost despite
outshooting Colombia, 21-3,
in Moncton, Canada. Much of
that was thanks to the play of
Colombian goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda, who made a
number of sprawling saves
that increasingly frustrated
the French attack.

“There were numerous aspects that weren’t quite right
[Saturday]. We weren’t accurate enough with our passes
at key moments. Despite
that, we still created chances,
but their goalkeeper had a
great match,” France Coach
Philippe Bergeroo said.
France was unlucky as
well. Colombian defender
Daniela Montoya appeared to
touch the ball with her hand
inside the penalty area in the
67th minute, but a foul wasn’t
called.
Colombia will face England on Wednesday in Montreal.

VANCOUVER, Canada —
Former U.S. Coach Pia
Sundhage had some rough
words for some of her former
players before her current
team, Sweden, played her former one to scoreless draw in a
World Cup match Friday.
But much of that appeared to be forgotten by the
time the game ended in a
scoreless draw, with Sundhage and U.S. Coach Jill Ellis
wrapping one another in a
warm hug on the sidelines.
“Pia’s got extraordinary
character and I love hanging
out with her,” said Ellis,
Sundhage’s assistant during
her days with the U.S. national team. “We’ll be friends
for a long, long time.”
One person who wasn’t
smiling, though, was midfielder Carli Lloyd. Sundhage said Lloyd, who twice
scored the winning goal in an
Olympic final, would wilt on
the field if she felt the coaches
had lost faith in her.
“I’m not hurt or bothered
by what anyone says. But I
was a bit more confused,” she
told reporters after Friday’s
game. “I’ve done nothing but
respect Pia until the day she
left. In 2008 she showed faith
in me and I helped her win. In
2012 she had no faith in me
and I still helped her win.”
Lloyd was benched for the
opening game of the 2012 London Olympics, but started
the next five, scoring twice in
the final.
“I don’t change my game
plan for any coach,” Lloyd
continued. “Whether the
coach likes me or not, I still
bring 100%.”

Fox draws record
audience

Fox’s coverage of the U.S.Sweden game on Friday averaged 4.5 million views, the
largest U.S. television audience ever for a group-stage
match and the fourth-largest
for any women’s World Cup
game.
The network said Saturday that the only women’s
World Cup matches to draw
larger audiences were the
1999 and 2011 finals and a 1999
semifinal.

Judgment call
Several teams have complained about inconsistent
officiating in this World Cup.
And much of that probably
stems from FIFA’s attempt at
inclusion, which has meant
using referees from countries
where the women’s game is
still developing.
Mexico, for example, had
to settle for a draw in its first

at home
Monday
[Stanley Cup, from D1]
In the fifth consecutive
Cup Final game decided by
one goal, the Blackhawks’
defense was formidable, led
by the tireless Niklas Hjalmarsson and his game-high
seven blocks. And their
support players came
through again, with Vermette recording the winning
goal for the second time in
the Final and third time in
this playoff run.
“Whether we’re one win
away or 15 wins away, you
come in with that belief and
you know what your team is
capable of,” Toews said. “If
anything, you don’t want to
underachieve. You want to
get the most out of each
other and find a way to
come together as a group
and give yourself a chance
to be here. I think that’s
what everyone in this room
wants.”
The Blackhawks can win
the Cup at home for the first
time since 1938, when they
completed a best-of-five
series against the Toronto
Maple Leafs at the old Chicago Stadium. They won at
Detroit in 1961, at Philadelphia in 2010 and at Boston in
2013. A seventh game, if
necessary, would be played
Wednesday in Tampa.
This is when their experience will come into play,
where the core group of
what is the closest thing to a
dynasty the NHL has seen
in the salary-cap era must
take charge. The Lightning
came back from a 3-2 deficit
in the first round, against
Detroit, and Coach Jon
Cooper remains confident
that his team can do that
again.

say, ‘Well, the inexperienced

Ethan Finlay hurdled

He allowed Robbie Rogers’ pass to go through his
legs and beat Crew goalkeeper Steve Clark with a
left-footed shot just inside

Columbus had the momentum and chances in
the final minutes but failed
to capitalize, extending
its winless streak to six

Less than a minute after
Lightning forward Nikita

collided with the post in the
first period, Chicago capitalized on a misplay by
Tampa Bay goalie Ben

Bishop. The puck had been
dumped into Tampa Bay’s
zone and defenseman Victor
Hedman was preparing to
play it, but Bishop came out
of his net and to the left
faceoff circle, where he
collided with Hedman. Both
went down, leaving an
empty net for Patrick Sharp
to score at 6:11, his first goal
in 14 games.
Bishop, who missed
Game 4 because of an undisclosed injury, was slow to get
up but stayed in the game.
Bishop made 27 saves, to 30
by Crawford.
“I was just trying to force
the play, skate as fast as I

can up the ice and apply
some pressure,” Sharp said.
Tampa Bay pulled even
at 10:53 of the second period,
on a fine setup from Jason
Garrison to Valtteri Filppula, who scored from a tough
angle. But Vermette was a
difference-maker again and
Crawford stopped 15 shots
in the third period to send
the Blackhawks back home
with a chance to claim the
Cup Monday.
It’s so close they can
taste it, but they’re experienced enough not to start
counting Champagne bubbles yet.
“You go through the ups
and downs every playoff
run. It didn’t start off the
way I wanted but I was able
to stay with it,” said Crawford, who was benched for
three games in the first
round against Nashville.
“It’s been great up to this
point. With a chance to go
back to our building, I think
everyone’s pretty excited
about it. But we can’t get
ahead of ourselves. There’s
a lot of work to do here and
it’s going to be an even harder battle.”

‘Dope,’ set in Inglewood,
tells a story about black
culture that doesn’t fall
into the usual categories.
By Lorraine Ali
Drug dealers or dorks? Hiphop or punk rock? Harvard or
the ’hood?
There’s no need to chose
sides in “Dope,” a comedydrama that takes pleasure in redefining what it means to be
young, black and growing up in
a tough part of town.
Set in present-day Inglewood, nerdy high school senior
Malcolm (Shameik Moore) and
his equally nonpopular friends
Jib (Tony Revolori) and Diggy
(Kiersey Clemons) aren’t like
most of their classmates. They
openly discuss their Ivy League
aspirations, play in a pop-punk
band and have a fixation with
1990s pop culture that manifests itself in unfashionable flattops and baggy TLC-wear.
But when they accidentally
cross paths with neighborhood
drug dealer Dom (rapper A$AP
Rocky), the naive trio is forced
to rely on their geek smarts to
navigate a world of crime,
gangs, profiling cops and corruption. In the process they

Viewers attacking TV’s ‘rape glut’ need to take a closer look

MARY MCNAMARA television critic >>> After avoiding the subject for much of its lifetime, television has begun featuring stories that include rape. And many people are not happy about it.
With television now functioning as much national encounter group as entertainment, any act of violence or misfortune befalling a major character is immediately followed by a cacophony of anguish and/
or rage on social media. But none, not even child murder, sparks as much emotional fury and deep
thought as rape.
Once upon a time, the assault of a main character was wreathed in solemnity, heralded by disclaimers and intimations of “a very important episode.” Lately, however, shows as thematically diverse as
“The Americans,” “Scandal,” “Outlander,” “Game of Thrones,” “Downton Abbey,” “House of Cards”
and “Mad Men” have used it as either a real-time plot point or a defining bit of back story.
Few of which have escaped protest. This spring, the midseason rape of Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner)
so offended some “Game of Thrones” fans that they called for a boycott. The reaction, which included
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) tweeting that the “disgusting” scene meant she was “done” with
the show, sparked yet another round of essays, columns, tweets and blogs about what is now being
referred to as the “rape glut.”
Indeed, the “Game of Thrones” commentary had barely died down when “Outlander,” criticized dur[See Rape, E15]

Never mind the destroyed

“Adr1ft” may look like a work of

borne out of an uniquely contemporary calamity.

DIRECTOR ROBERT ALTMAN’S masterful “Nashville” cried out for a sequel.

A film director’s theatrical touch
Altman films are driven by the wonder of live theater, which draws us into the
idiosyncratic nature of each character [“How an Altman Gem Lost a Sequel,” June 7]. The
interaction is conducted like great music. Unfortunately, most movie tickets are sold to eat
popcorn, watch car chases, see buildings explode, follow plot twists and of course the
occasional sight gag. Character is limited to stereotypes. Unfortunately, good theater
doesn’t pay, either in small venues or in films, as it requires the audience to tune in to new
people. We can only hope that American directors who understand theater will continue to
find a way to get their films made.
Ken Hense
El Segundo
Thank you so much for
dedicating enough words
to uncover the tip of the
iceberg of “Nashville” and
its aborted sequel. What a
lovely gift to film buffs,

writers, actors and singers.
The times they have
changed, and the Nashville
skyline looks like a poptart,
so to revisit this and even
touch on the subtle point-

ed themes of this film is a
gift in a cinema universe
that looks like a comic
book.

What Rebecca Keegan
didn’t reference in her
article [“Leave ’Em
Laughing,” June 7], and
what many people are not
aware, is the tireless work
Lily Tomlin has done on
behalf of elephants in
captivity.
A longtime animalrights activist, she has
been an outspoken advocate against elephant
abuse in zoos and circuses,
and narrated and executive-produced an HBO
documentary in 2013
(along with her wife, Jane
Wagner, who wrote the
doc) called “An Apology to
Elephants.”
Not only did Tomlin win
an Emmy for voice-over
narration, but her crusade
has helped lead to the
decision by Ringling
Brothers Circus to phase
out their elephant acts in
2017 and the recent banning of the bullhook. A
trumpet salute to Lily for
making such a difference
in the plight of the world’s
largest land mammal.

I was thrilled to see that
Chris Barton listed “Actors’

I looked to see whom he

George Clooney? Susan

This left me wondering
whether Vaughn would have

N.W.A.
biopic
gets a
bad rap
By August Brown

Carolyn Cole Los Angeles Times

HOLLY HUNTER says although actors like herself jump routinely from stage to TV to movies, it wasn’t the case when she started.

The gypsy in her soul
By Meredith Blake
NEW YORK — In the 35 years since she
landed her first paid gig, Holly Hunter has
proven herself an actress of almost unparalleled range. Her versatility was showcased
vividly in 1993, when she starred as a mute, 19th
century bride in Jane Campion’s “The Piano”
(for which she won an Oscar), a sassy secretary
in “The Firm” (which earned her an Oscar
nomination) and a homicidal housewife in
HBO’s “The Positively True Adventures of the
Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom”
(which earned her an Emmy).
This week Hunter, 57, appears opposite Al
Pacino as a kindhearted bank teller in David
Gordon Green’s “Manglehorn.” On the horizon
are roles in Terrence Malick’s “Weightless” and
Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice” as well as a reunion with Anna Paquin,
her costar from “The Piano,” in the family
drama “Breakable You.”
Your upcoming projects could not be more
different from one another.
Doing all these different kinds of wildly
different experiences, it just adds to feeling
very alive, and they each make me feel excited
in different ways. With “Manglehorn” and
“Batman,” you have two directors that are
comfortable in their milieu, you know? David
Gordon Green knows and understands Austin
[where the film is set]. He went to college with
tons of the guys that he works with, so it’s really
nice to be on the set where there’s that level of
comfort and trust. And Zack should be directing giant movies, he flourishes under that
pressure.
How was it working with Al Pacino for the
first time?
He’s lovely. He can still be very vulnerable,
very open to another actor. I loved seeing that.
As we get older, people close down. We get less
adaptive, less flexible — literally. Curiosity can
diminish, and you want safety. You want what
you know. Familiarity. This is one of the rea-

sons I like to act — it’s because acting forces you
into situations you don’t know. I like the gypsy
aspect of [acting] – I feel that it keeps me much
more adaptive.
It does seem like you’ve consciously tried to
work with a wide array of filmmakers.
Actually, that’s not true. One of the things
that I loved so much about [the TNT series]
“Saving Grace” is that I got to work with the
same people over and over again.… But I also
really like to go from stage to television to movies. That’s such a normal thing now. When I first
started in 1980, that was not the norm, to
bounce back and forth in that way. I was doing
television, movies and theater all the time. I
certainly did my share of bouncing.
The prevailing wisdom these days is that TV is
more hospitable to women than film. Do you
agree?
Yes. I’m hitting a seam right now where I
don’t particularly feel that way, but statistically
it’s true. There are, in terms of numbers, more
leading roles for women in television than there
are features. That’s absolutely certain. And it
used to be that women went into television
when they got older. Now, women are going into
television, period.
Is there a “Holly Hunter part” — a type of role
you’re offered a lot?
I am often offered roles or women who are
very strong, uncompromising. But it’s fun to do
“Manglehorn,” where I’m playing somebody
who’s very open, very optimistic, very positive. I
don’t want to bore myself.
G.J., the spiritual leader you played in the
Sundance miniseries “Top of the Lake,” was a
singular creation. How did you and writerdirector Jane Campion develop that character?
We rehearsed a lot. Jane loves to rehearse, to
play theater games, Simon Says, musical
chairs, talent contests, dances, a lot of improv.…
I deduced some elements of her that felt like
home. And when we started shooting, it kind of

fell into place, you know? The character presented herself. It was really a kick to do that
and a great group of women at that women’s
camp, to be hanging out with everybody. And
Jane was just a blast. She’s so silly and fun.
You’ve built a long career while mostly avoiding typical leading-lady roles. How do you
think you’ve managed to stay around?
It’s something I’m proud of, to have longevity in a career that is as challenging as this one
is. There’s something mysterious about the
whole process of hammering out a career;
there’s a lot of serendipity. I don’t know a whole
bunch of people who have the [production]
shingles, and they’re reeling out great projects
for themselves to star in. Generally, actors hang
around on the surface of the water waiting for
something to hit, and I’ve always enjoyed that.
There’s really a lot to be said for sticking
around.
Were there moments when you worried about
what might come next?
No. I am not built that way. I know brilliant
actors who feel they will never work again, and
I’ve never had that. Sometimes I go into a very
minor depression about, like, why can’t I get
better stuff? And then I’ll do something kind of
great. And my own life is interesting enough
where if my career is not galvanizing and riveting, something else is. I have many neuroses,
but one of them is not I will never work again.
What do you see as the major break in your
career?
[Meeting] casting director Joy Todd. She
did that magical thing that you wish as a young
actor or actress might happen.... She got me in
a horror movie called “The Burning,” which
Harvey Weinstein produced. It was filming
there in North Tonawanda, N.Y., just outside of
Buffalo, and I was making like a thousand
dollars a week. It was unbelievable money! I
was rolling in dough, sleeping in cash. I think I
said one sentence.

The Women’s World
Cup: Sure, it’s spawned
by the same moneydevouring hub of institutional corruption that is
FIFA, but if you can set
aside the source — and
the inexplicable artificial
turf — this marathon event will offer
as many if not more skills and thrills
than the Brazilian boondoggle that
was last year’s men’s tournament.
For extra intrigue, count just how
many calls go against the powerful
U.S. team as retribution for taking
down the head of international
soccer’s governing body.

the company enters the

now that it courts truckloads of

“Game of Thrones”
going off-book: Given the
realities of TV, HBO’s
series had to race ahead
of George R.R. Martin’s
gestating fantasy saga
and into new directions.
Still, as an uneven fifth
season closes this week there are
red flags, including rushed character shifts, a tiresome repetition of
cruelty to women and, last week, a
dragon-assisted action sequence
that came together with the CGI
subtlety of “Clash of the Titans.”
Hopefully the game can change.
— Chris Barton

Just days after Ice Cube
announced that an N.W.A.
reunion (well, most of a
reunion) would land at the
BET Experience festival,
one member of the group is
lambasting the major, soonto-be-released biopic about
the pioneering hip-hop act.
MC Ren, a founding
rapper and writer in the
group, brought out the long
knives Wednesday in his
criticism of the official trailer for “Straight Outta
Compton,” in which Dr. Dre
and Ice Cube get substantially (and almost exclusively) more billing than the
rest of the group, which also
included Ren, DJ Yella and
Eazy-E. The trailer was
released April 1.
“When you have ... work
on a hip hop film that don’t
know ... about hip hop this is
what happens. How the hell
u leave me out after all,” he
wrote. “The work I put into
them records. It’s disrespectful to me, my family
and most of all my FANS.”

THE 100 YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT
THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED E
(11:00 AM)
FOR 6/14/2015 ONLY

I don’t know about you, but normally a movie that trades heavily on
jokes pegged to hemorrhoid wipes,
stool softeners and anti-fungal cream
doesn’t prompt me to leave the theater thinking I’ve seen something that
significantly advances the cause of
women in film.
But that’s precisely what happened with “Spy,” the Paul Feig comedy starring Melissa McCarthy as a
lonely CIA analyst who goes from being a patronized team player to saving
the world over the course of a funny
two hours. In addition to McCarthy’s
secret agent, “Spy” sports an ensemble of strong women — Allison Janney
as a CIA boss, Rose Byrne making like
Marie Antoinette playing the villain,
Miranda Hart as McCarthy’s overlooked colleague and best friend.
They’re women in power, though Feig
never calls attention to their status or
remarks on it. It just is.
“Spy” won’t win any awards — humanitarian, academy or otherwise.
But in addition to being wildly entertaining, watching the film makes one
thing clear: Paul Feig is one of the
most important filmmakers working
in Hollywood today. With his last
three movies, Feig has obliterated the
wall that separated the sexes in movie
comedies.
First he made “Bridesmaids,” a
raunchy, liberating comedy about female friendship, and followed it up
with “The Heat,” a raucous buddy cop
comedy, and now “Spy,” which toggles
between being a James Bond spoof
and a giddy saga of self-actualization.
After being told for years that he
couldn’t cast women in leads, Feig
now exclusively does just that, taking
genres and flipping them to make
great, commercially successful showcases for talent like McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Sandra Bullock. And as
you probably know, he’s not stopping.
His next movie will be a “Ghostbusters” reboot starring McCarthy, Wiig,
Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.
And he’s doing it only because, after
repeatedly turning down the chance
to direct a conventional “Ghostbusters” sequel, the studio let Feig cast it
the way he wanted.
“Spy,” from 20th Century Fox, feels
like the movie Feig wrote for all the
women in Hollywood who have had to
deal with doubters and dimwits their
entire careers. McCarthy’s character
begins the movie as something of a
high-tech Moneypenny, communicating with Jude Law’s 007 stand-in via
an earpiece, tipping him off to every
enemy and obstacle around the corner.
The reward for her expertise?
She’s asked to pick up his dry cleaning
(and fire his gardener) before he arrives home. Despite her obvious expertise, Susan is ignored and belittled. She wants to work in the field but
doubts she’ll ever be given the opportunity.
“They would never let me be a spy,”
she laments.
Hearing those words, it’s hard not
to think of the recent ACLU review
that found a “very disturbing and
compelling picture of long-running

“BRIDESMAIDS,” which grossed $288 million worldwide, contra-

dicted the idea that foreign audiences won’t see female-driven films.

Larry Horricks 20th Century Fox

DIRECTOR PAUL FEIG (center) with Jude Law and Melissa Mc-

Carthy on the set of his most recent female-centric movie, “Spy.”

systemic discrimination in the film
and television industries.”
The success of “Bridesmaids” was
supposed to help change all that. The
movie, written by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, grossed $288 million worldwide
with more than 40% of the take coming from overseas, dismissing the notion that foreign audiences won’t see
female-driven movies.
Before “Bridesmaids” premiered,
Feig told The Times that “all my female writer friends had their projects
on hold, on probation” with executives telling them they’d have to wait
to see if audiences embraced the film.
They did. But it would seem that
many of those projects must still be
on probation. Women wrote only 11%
of the top-250-grossing films in 2014,
according to San Diego State University’s Celluloid Ceiling Report, a drop
of 2% from the late ’90s. A USC study
found that in 2013 and 2014, women directed just1.9% of the top-grossing100
films.
Feig is doing what he can to boost
those totals, working with Katie Dippold on “The Heat” and the upcoming
“Ghostbusters” as well as Wiig and
Mumolo on “Bridesmaids.” (He wrote
“Spy.”) But really, the most important thing he’s doing with these movies is creating emotionally honest female characters who are strong,
funny and driving the plot.
Yes, the films are silly and profane.
They also own a carefree feminism
that feels organic to the storytelling.
In the immortal words of the Isley
Brothers, they fight the power (the
song that opens “The Heat”), but

their politics remain primarily focused on the democracy of comedy. If
you’re funny, you can be a star, regardless of gender, race or body type.
This has always been his subject of
choice. Fifteen years ago, after the
brief, glorious run of his coming-ofage TV series “Freaks and Geeks,”
Feig had his pick of movies — provided they were about young men trying to get lucky. He wasn’t interested.
The films he did make — “Unaccompanied Minors,” “I Am David” —
didn’t do well at the box office, landing Feig in movie jail for several years.
He returned to television, bolstering his resume and his skill set directing such shows as “The Office,” “Arrested Development,” “Nurse Jackie”
and the “Mad Men” episode in which a
bored Betty pulled out Bobby’s BB
gun and took aim at the neighbor’s pigeons.
The common ground in these
shows: They all contained well-written roles for actresses.
“It’s very much a conscious decision,” Feig told The Times. “I just love
working with women.”
Not surprisingly, Feig has faced
backlash, mostly from “Ghostbusters” diehards who can’t wrap their
heads around the idea of women being given the keys to the proton packs.
Which just seems absurd on so many
levels. I mean: McCarthy, Wiig,
McKinnon, Jones. Who you gonna
call? When you come up with four funnier humans, pick up the phone and
give me a shout.

[‘Dope,’ from E1]
come to find who they truly are, or
at least what they want out of life,
and it’s of course far more complex
than a Tupac song.
Part “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,”
part “Boyz n the Hood,” the film
doesn’t fit neatly into any particular marketing niche — and that was
always director and writer Rick Famuyiwa’s intention.
“It’s not a ’hood film or romantic
comedy or Tyler Perry,” says Famuyiwa, 41, the son of Nigerian immigrants who grew up in Inglewood. “It’s like there’s only two or
three things black films can be, and
it’s none of those.”
Not surprisingly, Hollywood
didn’t get it.
After unsuccessfully shopping
his screenplay around studios, Famuyiwa ended up making “Dope”
independently with the help of producers Forest Whitaker and Nina
Bongiovi (they’d just finished producing “Fruitvale Station”). They
helped wrangle more interest,
bringing in backers from the music
world, including Pharrell Williams
as executive producer and Sean
Combs (a.k.a. Puffy) as co-executive producer, among others.
Once “Dope” premiered to enthusiastic audiences at the Sundance Film Festival in January, it
was bought for a reported $7 million by Open Road Films and Sony
Pictures Worldwide. It arrives in
theaters Friday.
It joins a small wave of films, TV
and books that are playing with
and testing tired notions of race,
especially blackness—“Dear White
People,” “Blackish,” “The Sellout,”
to name a few.
The film co-stars Zoe Kravitz as
the gang-tattooed love interest
and Rick Fox as a suspiciously
smooth banker. L.A. rappers such
as Casey Veggies populate the
film’s large cast. Whitaker narrates
“Dope,” and Williams composed
four songs for Malcolm’s band.
“The ’90s were a great decade
for music, not just hip-hop,” says
Williams. “The era is defined by
many unique voices, it was the perfect soundtrack to represent the
spirit of the movie. In creating the
songs for Awreeoh [Malcolm’s
band], I was inspired by the angst
of these characters, how they see
the world, their dreams and aspirations.”
“Dope” is a funny and unpredictable ride through Malcolm’s
rough neighborhood, known as the
Bottoms. His journey is fueled by
teen lust, miscommunication and
scenarios so absurd they could
only happen in his corner of L.A.
“Everything that happens in the
[film] world seems to happen to
white suburban people — alien invasions, house hauntings, whatever,” Famuyiwa says with a laugh.

the unpredictable “Dope,” executive-produced by Pharrell Williams, Sean Combs and others.
“When people see that L.A., they’re
only seeing the L.A. of Judd Apatow.”
The film is also meant to upend
preconceptions about coming-ofage films and race — but done with
a light touch.
“You might go into ‘Dope’ feeling you already know what this
movie is because, all right, there’s
kids, they’re from Inglewood, oh,
it’s drugs,” says Famuyiwa on the
phone from Atlanta, where he’s
shooting his very different next
project, the story of Anita Hill and
Clarence Thomas for HBO.
“But actually the kid who’s the

drug dealer is the white kid from
Brentwood, and the black kids
from the ’hood go to him to get help
because he’s the expert on [selling]
drugs,” he says. “I wanted to take
everything and subvert your expectations.”

Unorthodox paths
The goal of subversion interested Whitaker and Williams from
the start. Like Famuyiwa, both
self-identify as misfits, and both
cut their own unorthodox paths in
their respective fields.
Before Williams became involved in “Dope” or launched his

now ubiquitous song “Happy,” he
was part of an eclectic music outfit
called N.E.R.D. Needless to say he
also related to Malcolm and his
gang.
“We weren’t the toughest guys
in the world in high school, but we
also weren’t afraid,” said Williams
in a statement about the film. “And
we felt like being intelligent was not
necessarily a negative thing. Rick
brilliantly sews that together in
DOPE.”
Famuyiwa’s earlier projects include “The Wood,” another coming-of-age story set in Inglewood
that he made straight out of USC

film school. He also wrote the
screenplays for several comedies
and dramas geared to African
American audiences, such as
“Brown Sugar” and “Our Family
Wedding.”
But after a couple of decades
dealing with risk-averse studios
and film execs, eventually Famuyiwa was ready to break loose from
cinematic conventions.
“I was fortunate to write pretty
much a year out of film school and
start making movies in the Hollywood studio system,” says Famuyiwa, still based in L.A. “But with
each progressive film it became
more frustrating not being able to
speak and say things I wanted to
say. I wanted to rediscover something artistically that I felt I was
losing and say things I never really
had a chance to say.”
Famuyiwa describes “Dope” as
“Risky Business” for the social-media generation. Bitcoin, YouTube,
iPhone apps, texting, streaming
and the dark Web are major players
here. Technology is a large part of
what sets these kids apart from the
Inglewood Famuyiwa grew up in.
“Everyone would assume these
kids from Inglewood would form a
hip-hop group, but I thought Malcolm would be into so many different [genres] that they would form a
band that played everything,” he
says. “Because of technology,
there’s no longer the social shaming that goes on if you’re a black kid
walking into a record store to buy
Nirvana.”
“Dope’s” teens, however, are
still teens — obnoxious, annoying,
fast-food obsessed and occasionally stupid.
To keep the characters fallible,
Famuyiwa had to fight his own instincts. That’s because he was
writing “Dope” around the time
Trayvon Martin was shot and
killed by George Zimmerman. The
way Martin’s character was picked
apart by the media and in the
courtroom affected how Famuyiwa
would portray Malcolm and his
friends
“There’s pressure as a filmmaker to combat that [narrative]
and try and show how great these
teens are by polishing off all the
hard edges,” says Famuyiwa, who
has a young son. “But I wanted
these kids to be as raw and emotional and young and mistakeprone as all kids are, because at the
end of the day they are just kids.
They have value and potential.
“Sometimes that potential gets
nurtured if you live in a place like
Brentwood and discouraged and
unseen if you live in Inglewood,” he
says. “But at the end of the day, the
lottery of birth shouldn’t determine your value to the world.”

Marilyn

The late actress gets
star billing at the
Hollywood Museum’s
new exhibition.
By Susan King

Milton H. Greene

MARILYN MONROE at a 1950s photo shoot, one of about 1,000 unpublished images by Milton H. Greene.

The Hollywood Museum’s new Marilyn Monroe
Missing Moments exhibition is nothing if not comprehensive.
It features the star’s personal accessories, her costumes from such films as
1955’s “The Seven Year Itch,”
her refrigerator and even
medication found on her
nightstand on Aug. 6, 1962,
the night of her death.

Donelle Dadigan, the
founder and president of the
Hollywood Museum, at the
old Max Faxtor building on
Highland Avenue, said the
exhibition spans Monroe’s
entire life, from her childhood, through her career,
her loves, her marriages, her
untimely death at age 36,
and her legacy for generations of movie fans.
One highlight of the exhibition, which continues
through Sept. 6, are previously unpublished Monroe
photos by Milton H. Greene,
best known for his mesmerizing portraits of the sex
symbol. The two met in 1953
when he shot the up-andcoming actress for Look

magazine.
The photos include studio portraits and candids of
her on the set of 1956’s “Bus
Stop” and with such celebrities as Edward R. Murrow
and Sammy Davis Jr.
Dadigan acquired some
1,000
never-before-published Greene images of
Monroe a few years ago at
auction.
“We have the negatives,

lectibles that include Monroe Barbie dolls, drinking
glasses, ceramic figurines
and even a wine called Marilyn Merlot.
“Her popularity continues to grow over the years,”
said Adams. “People want
an attachment to her in any
way shape or form. I loved
her since I was 6 years old. It
was because of my grandma.
She related to Marilyn — she
was of the same time pe-

the transparencies and the
copyrights,” said Dadigan,
who will be adding more
Greene photos as well as
Monroe photos shot by
other photographers during
the exhibition.
The museum, said Dadigan, has an international
network of donors. “This
time we have five different
collections from all around
the world.”
Jill Adams donated col-

riod.”
Monroe, who would have
been 89 this year, “has gotten
more popular as the years
have passed,” noted Dadigan. “With Marilyn, there are
people who come from
around the world for pilgrimages [to Los Angeles]
for her birthday and they
come for the anniversary of
her death.”
Dadigan believes that

roe’s beauty as well as her
vulnerability. “They wanted
to rescue her.” Women also
loved Monroe, Dadigan
adds, because “she had that
realness that women could
relate to. She had issues, she
made mistakes.”

BETTE DAVIS FILMS ON DVD

NEW RELEASES

Bette Davis fans — and
just who out there isn’t? —
are in for a treat thanks to
Warner Archive. Four Davis flicks made their DVD
debuts Tuesday, including
two with the wonderful
king of the pre-Code flicks
Warren William — the 1932
political comedy “The Dark
Horse,” which also stars
Guy Kibbee, and 1936’s
“Satan Met a Lady,” Warner Bros.’ second adaptation
of Dashiell Hammett’s
“The Maltese Falcon.”
Rounding out the new releases are the 1935 crime
drama “Secret Agent,”
with her frequent costar
George Brent and Ricardo
Cortez, and the 1948 romantic comedy “June
Bride,” also starring Robert Montgomery. “June
Bride” also marked Debbie
Reynolds’ film debut.

Wild Tales

Sony, $30.99; Blu-ray, $34.99
Available on VOD Tuesday.

Damián Szifrón’s funny,
stylish foreign language film
Oscar nominee is the kind of
movie that could turn foreign film skeptics into fans.
Szifrón writes and directs a
sextet of short stories, connected by the theme of temporary madness and unified
by the movie’s willingness to
present everyday life as an
especially
nerve-racking
“Twilight Zone” episode. Although every vignette begins with ordinary frustrations — like road rage or
parking tickets — the tension builds and the filmmaking gets more expressive as
the characters turn irrational and violent. “Wild Tales”
isn’t that profound, but for a
depiction of human behav-

ior at its most extreme, it has
an unusual panache. The
DVD and Blu-ray add featurettes.

Like “Standing in the

Danny Tedesco’s documentary is an informative, inspiring look at the musicians
who worked in virtual anonymity to help shape popular music. The film returns
to the Los Angeles pop and
rock scenes of the 1960s,
when a group of savvy, versatile, collaborative session
players rounded out the musical visions of everyone
from Phil Spector to Brian
Wilson. As the son of one of

Wallace
Shawn and Andre Gregory
was first introduced to
moviegoers in 1981’s “My
Dinner with Andre,” where
they turned a fictionalized
version of their own lives into
a filmed conversation as polished and potent as a great
play. Shawn, Gregory and
their “Dinner” director Louis Malle re-teamed for 1994’s
“Vanya on 42nd Street,” an
Anton Chekhov adaptation
that the actors rehearsed
with friends in a crumbling

old theater for years before
they put it on screen. And
then last year they worked
with director Jonathan
Demme in a fancy New York
club to do a modernized take
on Henrik Ibsen, “A Master
Builder.” Criterion’s box set
of all three films includes
new and vintage documentaries and interviews, making it an unexpectedly generous package of Gregory and
Shawn’s collaborations and
a document of the work of
two artists with one foot in

the classics and the other in
experimentation for experimentation’s sake.

Veteran reborn
in ‘Me and Earl’

Director Alfonso
Gomez-Rejon, 42, was
transformed by the
Sundance winner.
By Mark Olsen
In the novel “Me and Earl
and the Dying Girl,” written
in the voice of a teenage boy,
the lead character notes
that “when you convert a
good book into a film, stupid
things happen. God only
knows what would happen if
you tried to convert this unstoppable barf-fest into a
film. The FBI would probably have to get involved.”
Authorities of a kind did
get involved, but the movie
adaptation went on to win
both the Grand Jury Prize
and audience award when it
premiered at the Sundance
Film Festival this year. Adapted for the screen by the
book’s author, Jesse Andrews, the film is directed
with an earnest warmth by
Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.
Gomez-Rejon is both a
fresh voice and something of
a veteran. At 42, he has been
working his way up from production assistant to director
over 20-plus years. Having
done second-unit and television directing, he made his
feature film debut with the
little-seen 2014 horror film
“The Town That Dreaded
Sundown.” But it is with “Me
and Earl” that he has fully, finally found himself.
“There is this version of
everything I’ve done before,
which is a very, very long
story, and then there’s this,”
said Gomez-Rejon in Los
Angeles. “To me, even
though it’s my second film it
really does feel like I re-

started my career, my life. I
found myself as a man and a
filmmaker.
Everything
changed with this particular
film. So it is a very long story
and a very short one.”
In the film, now playing in
Los Angeles, Greg Gaines
(Thomas Mann) is a high
school senior with a carefully
cultivated anonymity that
falls apart when he strikes
up a friendship with Rachel
Kushner (Olivia Cooke), a
classmate diagnosed with
terminal cancer. Greg and
his best friend Earl Jackson
(RJ Cyler) have long secretly
done short parody remakes
of classic films and they
eventually set out to make a
movie for real for Rachel.
The film is haunted by the
specter of death while moving through the joys of life.
Gomez-Rejon infuses the
film with both a playful energy and a heartfelt, emotional
heft. It’s a specific kind of
movie, which makes use of
the home video commentary
track to a Powell and Pressburger movie and a clip from
Les Blank’s documentary on
Werner Herzog. The GainesJackson movies within the
movie — with titles such as
‘A
Sockwork
Orange,”
“Scabface” and “Pooping
Tom” — are witty and affectionate, and the film is littered with references to
movies and filmmakers.

Quality teachers

Originally from Laredo,
Texas, Gomez-Rejon moved
to New York for college and
immediately also started
working on film shoots as a
production assistant. He
worked as an assistant to
Martin Scorsese, which created connections that led in
turn to working with Nora
Ephron and Robert De Niro.

“To this day, I used to be
Martin Scorsese’s assistant,
and that gets you some
cred,” Gomez-Rejon said
with a proud smile.
For a time he was back in
Texas selling phones and
running a coffee shop with a
friend. Then he was Alejandro González-Iñárittu’s assistant on “21 Grams,” directed second unit on
Ephron’s “Julie & Julia,” and
González-Iñárittu’s “Babel.”
Directing second unit on
Ryan Murphy’s “Eat Pray
Love” in turn led to directing
episodes of “Glee” and
“American Horror Story.”
“One thing led to another, and even though I was directing second unit on movies that got bigger and bigger
and it gave me an opportunity to direct, I was still not
telling my own stories,” said
Gomez-Rejon.
When his father, a psychiatrist, passed away unexpectedly,
Gomez-Rejon
threw himself into more
work. When he got an early
copy of the script for “Me
and Earl” he passionately
pursued the project, making
a mood-reel visual presentation to give producers an
idea of what he wanted to do
with the project.
“Even though this is a
script written by Jesse I
found a way to interpret it
that felt like it was mine,” he
said. “I was going to tell a
personal story through this
script, so it feels like I finally
made a movie where I discovered my own voice while
making it.”
Of his connection to the
material, he added, “It felt
very funny, very honest and
authentic. I identified with
them in the way you identify
with the kids from ‘The
[See Indie Focus, E9]

[Indie Focus, from E8]
Breakfast Club.’ There was
something very beautiful
about the way they all
spoke.”
Besides the central trio of
roles, the film has an impressive supporting cast that includes Nick Offerman and
Connie Britton as Greg’s
parents, Molly Shannon as
Rachel’s mother and Jon
Bernthal as a sympathetic
teacher.
Cooke was cast before
the production found its
Greg, and she read against a
few other potential young
actors for the male lead.
When she read with Mann,
everyone in the room knew it
was right.
“Their chemistry was
perfect. It was a chemistry
beyond sex or anything like
that,” said Gomez-Rejon. “It
maybe could go there someday but didn’t read that immediately. They respect
each other. They get each
other.”
The film was shot in
Pittsburgh, where Andrews
grew up. Though it is no
longer in use, the Schenley
High School where Andrews
graduated from — Andy
Warhol is also an alum — was
used as the school in the
film. Greg’s family’s house is
in fact the house where Andrews’ parents still live and

his room was Greg’s room.
“It really did feel like a
Gaines-Jackson film and
your parents were next
door,” said Gomez-Rejon of
the production’s homey feel.
That feeling created by
Gomez-Rejon spilled over to
the actors as well.
“He just wanted to be in it
with us, he wanted to feel
everything we were feeling,”
said Mann, sitting alongside
Cooke and Cyler. “A lot of
times he was just outside the
frame, he was right there in
the room with us. He wasn’t
somewhere
where
you
needed a walkie-talkie to ask
the director a question.”
“I felt like we were the
people by the end of it, we
were those characters,” added Cooke.

‘A baby of ours’

It was at the Sundance
premiere, sitting with his
mother, where Gomez-Rejon first saw the film projected with the end-credits dedication to his father. The
deep emotional response
from audiences there was
tremendous and unexpected, and the cast was caught
off-guard by the waves of
goodwill.
“It was good to see people
get a feeling close to what it
meant to us,” said Cyler, who
makes his acting debut in

the film. “It’s a baby of ours,
and it’s great to see that people love your baby.”
Within days of finishing
shooting on “Me and Earl”
last summer, Gomez-Rejon
was back at work on an episode of “American Horror
Story.” He hasn’t been on a
set since and admits he is eager to get back to shooting
something soon. Building off
the buzz for “Me and Earl,”
there are a number of
projects that could go forward as his next film.
Though he is no twentysomething Sundance kid,
the experience of making
“Me and Earl and the Dying
Girl” marks a turning point
in his career no matter what
comes next. It freed him to
move forward both emotionally and professionally
“I began to see myself as
Greg,” said Gomez-Rejon.
“You’re such a child when
you lose someone and you
don’t know how to handle it.
Seeing his denial and his
confusion and his anger, I
got him. And seeing at the
end that he expressed himself with a movie was the
only way I thought maybe I
could do something, so I
would make a movie for my
dad.”

VIDEO GAMES

Playing off of Twitter shame
[‘Adr1ft,’ from E1]
Burn he did. Orth that April became one of the most hated men on
the Internet, or at least a certain
corner of it. The perceived crime:
Expressing an unpopular opinion
regarding the future of home video
game consoles.
In a singular example of socalled Internet-shaming, Orth said
he opened the gates to the Internet, and what he saw behind the
doors were “pitchforks and torches” — even having to explain to his
mother why strangers wanted him
out of a job. Days after getting too
comfortable on Twitter, he resigned from Microsoft.
Yet out of the ashes have come
“Adr1ft,” a narrative-focused game
that’s directly inspired by the social-media-driven
disaster.
“Adr1ft” is about loneliness, about
the fear of messing up and the hope
that one can emerge from a catastrophe stronger than before.
Why is there a numeral “1” in the
title? “One is the loneliest number,” said Orth. After the blow-up,
Orth become something of a recluse, and nearly every aspect of
“Adr1ft” is in some way related to
his experiences.
Orth was rushing last week to
get the game ready for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3),
North America’s largest video
game trade show. While E3 has long
been a mecca for the mainstream,
increasingly top-flight publishers
are expanding their portfolios with
smaller, more approachable game
experiences, many of which will be
shown at the three-day expo that
begins Tuesday at the Los Angeles
Convention Center.
The big-budget games will be
present, of course. Orth’s publisher, 505 Games, will showcase titles on the opposite end of the
spectrum this year, chief among
them Overkill Software’s “The
Walking Dead,” a bloody blockbuster-to-be inspired by the series
created by Robert Kirkman.
“Adr1ft” boasts a look influenced by the film “2001,” a dramatic
tension that isn’t dissimilar from
that of “Gravity.” It’s a game not as
an escape but as a way to deal with
life.

Alone and lost

Three One Zero / 505 Games

THE GAME may look like science fiction drawn from the films “Gravity” or “2001,” but at its core it’s a very personal, painful story.

Kim Fox

“Adr1ft” centers on a female astronaut, a woman lost in space after an accident left all of her coworkers dead. “Adr1ft” is an experiment in video game storytelling,
pushing the medium to deal with
more emotional and private material, and to do so largely in a metaphorical sense.
Though the particulars of
Orth’s tweets are a tad “inside
baseball” for those not up on the
nuances of the opinionated and notoriously vociferous video game
community, people didn’t like what
Orth had to say, so much so that at
least one person tracked down pictures of his infant daughter and
emailed them to Orth with the
words, “I hope your kid gets AIDs.”
Internet forums were started
that called for Orth’s instant firing,
and YouTube videos were made
that detailed why Orth was a jerk,
all over a flip remark.
Essentially, Orth had suggested
that those who didn’t like the idea
of a video game console requiring a
24/7 Internet connection should
“deal with it.” He unwittingly
fanned the flames by sarcastically
remarking that he would never live
in a small town without solid Internet access (“why on earth would I
live there,” he wrote), but he also
didn’t expect the comments to extend much beyond his 1,500 or so
followers.
“I left work early so I could have
a nice, early dinner with my wife
and kid. I got home, turned on my
phone and it literally levitated out
of my hand. I had like a thousand

“ADR1FT” is about loneliness, fear of failure and the hope that

text messages,” he remembered.
The experience, he said, was
“horrific.” Microsoft issued a statement, never naming Orth, apologizing for the “inappropriate comments made by an employee.”
What Orth went through is a
particularly modern affliction. Recently, two books — Jon Ronson’s
“So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed”
and Jennifer Jacquet’s “Is Shame
Necessary?” — have sought to analyze the effects of being the target
of Internet bile. Ronson’s book, in
particular, looks at the devastating
effects that social-media shaming
can have on one’s life. Orth hasn’t
read it, but he said he plans to
someday.
“I got used to having conversations on Twitter, in public, with my
peers, and that was a huge mistake, a huge, huge mistake,” the 44year-old Orth said.
Eventually, Orth said, he realized it was one of the best things
that ever happened to him. It inspired his next move.
“The narrative of ‘Adr1ft’ is
about action, consequence and redemption,” he explained. “It’s basically what happened to me. I treat
it like an office in space. It’s not a
save-the-world story. This is my
life. I’m on a space station.”
Orth and his small team at
Three One Zero are putting the finishing touches on “Adr1ft.” The
company became a reality when
Orth persuaded his friend, Omar

Aziz, an industry veteran who
worked with “Call of Duty: Black
Ops” developer Treyarch, to join
him and go indie. With the help of a
small private investment, Three
One Zero created a prototype.
Publisher 505 Games, headquartered in Milan, Italy, with offices in Calabasas, signed on shortly thereafter.
505 Games this September will
release “Adr1ft” for Sony’s PlayStation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One and
home computers.
505 Games President Ian Howe
was taken by “Adr1ft’s” emotional
intimacy. “It struck me that this
game was coming out of adversity,”
Howe said. “So much great music
has come out of adversity, whether
it’s a painful breakup of a relationship or economic troubles.”

drew on a personal calamity.

one can emerge from a catastrophe stronger than before.

Music out, games in

Orth himself speaks regularly
in music metaphors. That’s no surprise since he grew up in an academic family, living, he said, practically on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs, Conn. He
wanted to be a musician and came
West for music.
His L.A. band, Shufflepuck,
signed to Interscope Records in
the mid-’90s, but the group was
sent packing before the fully recorded album was released, and
Orth switched his focus to games,
working his way up from a game
tester to a designer.

Over the course of his career he
has worked at Sony Santa Monica,
Electronic Arts and LucasArts,
among other celebrated game publishers. Some of the work he is most
proud of, however, never saw the
light of day, such as the year and a
half he spent with graphic novelist
Frank Miller developing a proposed “Sin City” game.
But he doesn’t miss his corporate days. “You’re doing multimillion-dollar games with 150-people
teams,” he said. “It’s hard to put
your stamp on it, and it was frustrating to me. I would always get in
trouble because I’m very outspoken, although much less now. I definitely have a punk rock attitude in
those environments.”
Though Orth declines to reveal
the budget for “Adr1ft” — he noted
that it’s less than $3 million — it’s
clear from looking at the game that
it isn’t a shoestring project. The
game is bright. Satellites glimmer,
and the remnants of the station’s
garden create a sort of floating coral reef. The look is meant to convey
hope, although floating debris and
a criminal lack of oxygen will keep
the player on the edge of the seat.
The audio can be gripping. Ambient noises and the sound of the
protagonist’s breathing capture
the harshness of the environment.
At times, the player can stumble
across audio diaries or radio transmissions from Earth. Though one
is unable to communicate with the

home planet, the player will hear
social-media-like speculation that
points blame and attempts to analyze, wrongly, of course, what happened at the space station.
“It’s not a very hidden metaphor,” Orth said of the game, which
should run about three hours when
completed. “I basically woke up
one day and my life was blown to
smithereens. The destroyed space
station is a very obvious metaphor
for that, but I’ve always been
drawn to sole-survivor stories.
That’s basically where I was. I was
literally on my own. I had the support of all my friends and family
and peers, but as awesome as everyone was, I still felt all alone.”
Addiction, cancer, parenting —
“Adr1ft” deals with many suffocating, everyday dramas as our survivor tries to preserve as many personal artifacts as possible from her
lost co-workers. The characters
who perished on the space station
were all flawed, struggling with
hidden problems or afflictions.
This is why, say those who have
seen the game, “Adr1ft” has a
chance to appeal to an audience
bigger than the game-playing core.
“Adr1ft,” said Brenda Romero,
is “really going to resonate with a
lot of people.” Romero, an industry
luminary and educator whose resume includes “Wizardry” and
“Dungeons & Dragons” titles, was
credited by Orth as one who helped
him through the throes of depression in 2013.
“While many people can’t relate
to the experience that Adam had,
many people can relate to having
been left alone or feelings of betrayal and having your whole life ripped
out from under you,” Romero said.
“It happens in small ways and big
ways, but I think it’s something everyone can relate to.”
Today, Orth said he probably
wouldn’t be on Twitter if he didn’t
have a game to promote. He remembers spending multiple days
in summer 2013 blocking, one by
one, those who directed hateful
comments toward him online. He
remembers days spent staring at
his computer, withholding the
temptation to respond to those
threatening his family.
Orth finally has his response:
It’s “Adr1ft.”

activists the Yes Men. Directed by
Laura Nix and the Yes Men. (1:32) R.

Critics’ Choices
Ex Machina Shrewdly imagined and

persuasively made, this is a spooky
piece of speculative fiction about artificial intelligence that’s completely
plausible, capable of thinking big
thoughts and providing pulp thrills.
But even saying that doesn’t do full
justice to this quietly unnerving Alex
Garland film starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander.
(K.Tu., April 10) (1:50) R.

The Farewell Party

This Israeli film
not only thinks the unthinkable, it
laughs at the unlaughable. Nominated for 14 Israeli Academy Awards,
this is a gentle but pointed work, a
warm and comic film about an unmistakably serious subject, the end of life
itself. (K.Tu., June 5) In Hebrew with
English subtitles. (1:30) NR.

Iris The late Albert Maysles was one
of America’s great documentarians, a
force in the field for nearly six decades, but his latest film has got to be
one of his most charming. With her
trademark huge round glasses and
her genius for costume jewelry, the 93year-old Iris Apfel could qualify as the
world’s oldest fashionista. But when

she talks, you want to listen. (K.Tu.,
May 6) (1:18) PG-13.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Words are not
really the point when it comes to dealing with this barn-burner of a postapocalyptic extravaganza in which
sizzling, unsettling images are the order of the day. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are the leads, but the real
star is filmmaker George Miller.
(K.Tu., May 15) In 3-D. (2 hrs.) R.

Spy reteams writer-director Paul Feig

with his “Bridesmaids” and “The
Heat” star Melissa McCarthy in an affectionate sendup of globe-hopping
espionage movies. With strong support from Jason Statham and Rose
Byrne, “Spy” may not be a great movie, but it is great fun. And at times it
will have you wondering if there’s that
much of a difference. (M.O., June 5) (2
hrs.) R. Story on Page E4

Testament of Youth

Star Alicia Vikander sweeps you away in this passionate World War I romantic drama
based on Vera Brittain’s celebrated
memoir. Unapologetically emotional
and impeccably made in the classic
manner, it tells the kind of potent,
many-sided story whose unforeseen
complexities can only come courtesy
of a life that lived them all. (K.Tu.,
June 5) (2:09) PG-13.

When Marnie Was There This story

of two lonely girls and the strange
bond between them, the latest animated feature from Japan’s Studio
Ghibli does not fall neatly into any
conventional narrative category. But
that doesn’t get in the way of it being
visually spectacular. (K.Tu., May 22)
(1:43) PG.

Also in Theaters
The 11th Hour

A business executive
who suffers yet another miscarriage is
told she’s too old to carry a child but
refuses to accept her fate. With Kim
Basinger, Jordan Prentice and Peter
Stormare. Written and directed by
Anders Morgenthaler. (1:37) NR.

Aloha

Perceived as struggling and
damaged, “Aloha” deserves better
than all that. Even with its off-balance, overstuffed storytelling, the
films maintains a charm and energy
that never flags, with brisk pacing
and generally engaging performances
from its deep-bench cast. (May 29,
M.O.) (1:45) PG-13.

THE GUIDE
silly to pretend that this latest Marvel
superhero epic isn’t good at what it
does, or that the evil Ultron isn’t a fine
villain. However, as the ideal vehicle
for our age of instant gratification, it
disappears without a trace almost as
soon as it’s consumed. (K.Tu., April
30) In 3-D and Imax. (2:21) PG-13.

The Cain Complex Three years after a

family tragedy, a man struggling with
PTSD has to fight off a home invasion. With Billy Blair, Sue Rock and
Sam Eidson. Written and directed by
Marcello Zamarripa. (1:26) NR.

Entourage Whether created because

of fan service or contractual obligation, the “Entourage” movie has none
of the fizz of the HBO series’ earliest
seasons, and watching it summons
that vague blank familiarity of discovering a show you used to watch is unexpectedly still on the air. (M.O., June
3) (1:44) R.

Every Last Child A documentary fol-

lowing five people affected by the polio crisis in Pakistan, where the Taliban issued a ban against vaccinations. Directed by Tom Roberts.
(1:25) PG-13.

Gemma Bovery

As a bored baker
with an overactive imagination, the
wonderful French actor Fabrice Luchini is the only reason to see
“Gemma Bovery,” a mildly amusing
riff on Flaubert. His character’s baguettes, brioches and croissants have
far more substance than this Gallic
piffle’s day-old satire. (Sheri Linden,
May 29) (1:39) R.

Hungry Hearts A young mother’s ob-

session with protecting her baby from
the outside world forces her husband
to recognize the true danger to the
child. With Adam Driver, Alba Rohrwacher and Roberta Maxwell. Written and directed by Saverio Costanzo.
(1:48) NR.

I’ll See You in My Dreams

There is
something about Blythe Danner’s onscreen essence that is perfect for the
gently aged widow she plays in her
first leading role in years. The 72-yearold actress uses her mix of flinty,
flighty and fragile to draw us into a
story and a life shaken and stirred by
a death. It is a film that gets to the
heart of things like loss and love without patronizing or parody. (Betsy
Sharkey, May 15) (1:35) PG-13.

Insidious Chapter 3 To enjoy “Insidi-

ous: Chapter 3” — and it is enjoyable
— you needn’t have seen the first two
films in this horror series. Although
this third installment is a prequel set
years before those earlier shockers,
which involved the haunted Lambert
family (not returning here), it stands
well on its own as a jumpy spookfest.
(Gary Goldstein, June 5) (1:37) PG-13.

Paul Dano and John
Cusack do fine work playing Brian
Wilson of the Beach Boys at two different times in his life, but they are
not enough to rescue this uneven biopic. (K.Tu., June 5). (2 hrs.) PG-13.

Jurassic World

At an island theme
park where dinosaurs have been resurrected through science, a new genetically engineered specimen escapes confinement and plunges the
park into chaos. With Chris Pratt,
Bryce Dallas Howard and Vincent
D’Onofrio. Written by Derek Connolly
and Colin Trevorrow. Directed by
Trevorrow. In 3-D. (2:04) PG-13.

Poltergeist Directed by Gil Kenan,
this remake is a disconcertingly uneven outing, not quite connecting in
the manner of the 1982 original while
also never standing firmly on its own
two feet. The new “Poltergeist” is a
pleasant enough diversion, better as a
low-simmer suspense story than a
full-blown
effects
extravaganza.

wars are more intense, more absurd

this sequel, still securely anchored by
Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and
Brittany Snow as the defining members of a top-ranked college a cappella
group. Hailee Steinfeld proves a very
good addition to the chorus line; her
Emily is key to freshening up a fairly
predictable plot. And Elizabeth

TELEVISION

Strong women at risk on TV
[Rape, from E1]
raped, ended this season with the
rape of its hero, Jamie Fraser (Sam
Heughan), sparking a whole new
round of criticism, mostly targeting the length and detail of the depiction.
And it isn’t just cable. Even
some of the most deeply devoted
“Downton Abbey” fans still haven’t
forgiven last year’s rape of beloved
Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt) by a
visiting servant.
Froggatt won a Golden Globe
for her performance and used her
acceptance speech to assure survivors of rape that they were not
alone, but many felt Anna’s rape
was unnecessary, manipulative
and reflective of much larger problems, including but not limited to
rape being used for shock value, sadistic titillation or, even more deplorably, to remind female characters, and by extension the audience, that no matter how far they
have come, women remain vulnerable in this very specific way.
Yet all these objections come at
a time of renewed activism around
rape, which inevitably focuses on
the crime’s frequency — 1 in 6
American women is the most oftquoted statistic, with the inevitable caveat about rape being the
most underreported major crime.
So to truly mirror the horrific
reality of rape in America, even
more female characters would
need to experience it.
Certainly there are instances in
which rape is handled badly or
used to push ratings, just as there
are examples of violence against
children being handled badly or to
push ratings. But there are also
plenty of examples of rape being
used to explore the precarious role
of women in certain societies and/
or their ability to overcome hardship. Shows such as “Mad Men”
and “Game of Thrones” have used
marital rape to remind audiences
that a dark alley and a stranger are
not required for it to be a crime.
Tina Fey’s remarkable series “The
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” is,
possibly, the world’s first rape-survivor comedy.
Part of an audience’s job is to let
writers know when things are revelatory and when they are objectionable, but in the now-inevitable
angry reaction to a character’s
rape there are troubling echoes of
the long-held, damaging belief that
rape is the worst thing that can
happen to a woman. That sexual
violation is, as the Victorians believed, a fate worse than death.
After all, women, men and children die on television every day, in
depraved specificity and disturbing anonymity. Fans of “Game of
Thrones” have watched all manner
of physical brutality visited upon
male and female characters: Jaime
lost a hand; Theon spent most of
an entire season being tortured
and then lost his penis; characters
are routinely flayed.
Violence fills all forms of entertainment; the television landscape
is littered with those tortured, dismembered, eaten alive, scarred
and stricken by their fellow mortals (and a few supernatural creatures) in every manner imaginable.
“Hannibal,” which continues to be
a critics’ darling, fetishizes murder,
torture and cannibalism to the
point of obvious eroticism.
One can certainly argue, and
many have, that there is too much
brutality in general on scripted
television. But television is done
with being dismissed as a banal
house-trained purveyor of predictable entertainment; increasingly
its stories are not there to soothe
but to startle and provoke. (Which,
in fact, it always has done. As many
writers, including Norman Lear
and Steven Bochco can attest, if
people aren’t protesting, you’re not
trying hard enough.)
Whether we like it or not, brutal
and precisely detailed violence is
being used to explore the human
condition. Demanding an exemption for rape turns rape into something other than a violent crime
and undermines all the work activists have done for years.

Nick Briggs Carnival Films / Masterpiece / PBS

“GAME OF THRONES’ ” Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) with

“DOWNTON ABBEY” fans were aghast at the rape of beloved

Fighting long-held beliefs, survivors and their supporters argued
that their inevitable pain and fear
should not include self-recrimination, because rape is not the product of misread desire or temporary
loss of control. The term “victim”
became “survivor” as women demanded that society stop seeing
them as “ruined” or defined by sexual assault.
Numerically, the depiction of
rape on television is much closer to
reflecting reality than, say, death
by terrorist, serial killer, rogue CIA
agent or the many clever murderers that fuel our detective series.
To excise it from television means
ignoring an outrageous experience
shared by millions and a reality
that shapes the lives of virtually every woman.
The rape of Sansa, though disturbing to watch, was shocking
mainly because it took so long to
occur. Sansa has spent almost the
entire series learning that the path
of the princess is, more often than
not, one of peril and pain.
Like millions of women for thousands of years, Sansa’s life has never been her own. Yet despite being
engaged to a psychopath and then
wed to his kindly but still-troubled

revocably changed her relationship with Tony.
Now, however, rape occurs and
the story moves on. Because — and
this is important — female characters are not defined by it. Indeed,
more often than not, they are defined by their ability to overcome
and survive.
It is not accidental that the
shows that have come under fire
feature some of the strongest female roles on television. Certainly
there can be narrative laziness at
work, not to mention covert sexism. Just as not every strong, complicated woman has experienced
rape, not every complicated female
character needs a rape in her history. A woman can be a dedicated
Soviet spy, say, for many reasons
including that she just really loves
her job.
But a lot of women have been
raped, under an incalculable number of circumstances, and that reality is only now being reflected on
television, albeit often imperfectly.
Many objections involve context and presentation (or in the
case of “Game of Thrones,” sheer
regularity). The near-rapes of
Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in “Outlander” often involved her bent

her husband — and rapist — Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon).

brother, despite drawing the unwanted attention of several other
twisted male characters, Sansa
avoided rape until her wedding
night of her second marriage.
As with Daenarys (Emilia
Clarke) and many of their historical counterparts, Sansa was forced
into marriage for reasons of politics, family power and personal
survival. If plot is going to explore
the lives of women, particularly in
historical context or times of war,
rape is going to be part of the picture. “Close your eyes and think of
England” was not originally a
punchline about frigidity; it was a
comment on the grim realities of a
certain kind of marriage.
The changing landscape and
mores have allowed for more
graphic acts of every kind on television, and the notion of a “rape glut”
is, in part, an issue of suddenness.
With the notable exception of “Law
& Order: Special Victims Unit,”
rape has, until recently, occurred
rarely on television. When Gemma
(Katey Sagal) was raped in Season
2 of “Sons of Anarchy,” it was a very
big deal that drove the plot of the
entire season. When psychiatrist
Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco)
was raped on “The Sopranos,” it ir-

Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt, with Brendan Coyle as Mr. Bates).
over a table, breasts perfectly
framed by her low-cut Highlander
neckline, an image that queasily
evoked far too many consensual
sex scenes on cable. (Over the table
or against a wall are positions favored by many television writers,
which is troubling in and of itself.)
More exasperating is the essential impact of rape on many of the
narratives. In “Downton Abbey,”
Anna’s rape was quickly hijacked
by concerns about her husband.
Whatever emotion she might be experiencing paled in comparison to
the widespread worry that Mr.
Bates had been driven to kill her attacker.
This anxiety that a victim’s
menfolk will be moved to murder is,
in fact, one of many reasons rape
remains an underreported crime,
something a series would do well to
explore rather than simply mirror.
Television has the power to exploit
but also to redress. Sexual violence
is disgusting, often brutal and always horrific. It’s also far too common.
When it’s depicted in any other
way, then we have a real problem.

Video game music, designed to

BY JEFFREY FLEISHMAN >>> He’s an impresario with a little-boy
streak. He plays a guitar shaped like a sniper rifle, keeps pirates by the pool
and is one of the world’s leading composers of video game music. He can
rhapsodize for long stretches about Bugs Bunny, Spider-Man, Rocky Balboa and Beethoven, whose bust, draped in a scarf, looks over a piano in his
home in the hills of San Juan Capistrano. ¶ “If Beethoven were around today he’d be a video game composer,” said Tommy Tallarico, who has worked
on more than 300 titles, including “Mortal Kombat” and “Knockout
Kings,” that have about $4 billion in sales. “Video game music is the most
unique in history. When you play a video game, that character is you. His
music is the soundtrack of your life.” ¶ Music’s power to evoke warriors
and imaginary galaxies struck him as a boy when he saw “Star Wars” in a
theater in Springfield, Mass. The soundtrack by John Williams was mesmerizing. “I said, ‘Who is this guy?’ I read about him and how he was influenced by these Mozart and Beethoven guys. I checked out a copy of Beethoven’s greatest hits from the library and it changed my life. I sat down with
Symphony No. 9 and tore apart every note.” ¶ Tallarico, [See Music, F3]

CHICAGO — Artists often
turn to older art as a guidepost in
developing new work. And why
not? All art has a contemporary
dimension, since it’s chattering
away today as surely as the day it
was made, even if that was centuries ago. Listening to past art is
simply a sensible thing to do.
Sometimes, though, the places
in which an artist chooses to look
are surprising.
For well over a dozen years, Los
Angeles-based sculptor Charles
Ray has been looking closely at the
art of antiquity. Carved reliefs
from ancient Mesopotamia, mythical beings from [See Ray, F7]

There’s not much to Milan
Kundera’s 10th novel, “The Festival of Insignificance” — his first
work of fiction since 2000’s “Innocence” — but then that’s part of
the point. Revolving around five
middle-aged friends living in Paris, it offers not a narrative so much
as a collection of vignettes, or reflections: the novel as a set of
asides.
“Time moves on,” one of Kundera’s characters tells us. “Because of time, first we’re alive —
which is to say: indicted and convicted. Then we die, and for a few
more years we live on in the people

By Michael Schaub

Photographs by

Dennis Feldman Circle of Fire

A SAMPLING of photographs from the new book “Dennis Feldman: Hollywood Boulevard 1979-1982.”

Life on the boulevard
For four years in the late 1960s and early ’70s, photographer Dennis Feldman hit Hollywood Boulevard in tattered
jeans and cowboy boots, a Rolleiflex camera around his neck.
There he captured people playing some very wild, very
real roles. On this street — whose very name evokes the
glamour of Hollywood, even if its reality is far more mundane
or gritty — Feldman found a wild intersection of tourist
guides, drifters, wannabe rockers and mustachioed dandies,
along with the hopeful and the despondent. Everyone, he
says, wore a kind of costume.
“You could see that people had taken these archetypal
identities out of the movies and were trying to live them,” he
says. “There’s a guy who is costumed as the cliché of a silent
film director. There’s a guy who wants to be a rock star, and
he has the costume, down to the guitar case prop.”
With his camera, Feldman captured a moment in the lives
of these characters. Now his poignant images — some in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York — have now been
gathered into a book: “Hollywood Boulevard, 1969-1972.”

“I’m interested in the psychological aspects of people,”
Feldman says. “What’s in their minds, their identity.”
Yet the artist got into photography because of the movie
business. As a student at Harvard University, he took up the
camera after a fellow student told him that photography was
necessary for anyone interested in becoming a director.
“And I fell in love with it,” he recalls. “I saw the work of
Robert Frank and Walker Evans and Frederick Sommer
and I became very obsessed.”
Though he would eventually enter the film business (as a
screenwriter and director), for much of the 1970s he took
pictures: in Hollywood, in tumble-down L.A. hotels, and on a
cross-country trip in an old Ford pickup for 11 months.
But Hollywood Boulevard provided him with a parade of
drama and flash.
“You can’t get into the studios,” Feldman says. “The
dream factories have guards. The agents all have receptionists. But you can walk that street and dream.”
— Carolina Miranda

Read. Or read not. There
is no try.
Fans of the original “Star
Wars” trilogy (circa 1977-83)
have something to look
forward to in addition to the
Dec. 18 release of “The Force
Awakens.” Disney-Lucasfilm Press will release a
trilogy of books retelling the
stories of the first three
films from the perspectives
of Princess Leia, Yoda and
Darth Vader, the Guardian
reports.
According to the Star
Wars website, the books will
be “more than just mere
retellings from this top
talent; these are fresh interpretations — true to the
films but filtered through
each author’s vision. In each
novel, the authors get inside
the characters’ heads, tell us
about the scenes between
the scenes and even teach
us how to be a Jedi.”
The books aren’t aimed
at the people who saw the
movies in theaters the first
time — they’re meant to
appeal to a new generation.
According to their Amazon
pages, they’re aimed at a
middle-grade audience,
ages 8-12.
The film “Star Wars: A
New Hope” (1977) will be
retold in the book “Star
Wars: A New Hope — The
Princess, the Scoundrel,
and the Farm Boy” by Alexandra Bracken, told from
Princess Leia’s point of view.
From Yoda’s perspective, the next installment of
the story will be revisited in
Adam Gidwitz’s “Star Wars:
The Empire Strikes Back —
So You Want to Be a Jedi.”
Tom Angleberger — the
creator of “Origami Yoda” —
will write “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi — Beware
the Power of the Dark Side!”
from Darth Vader’s point of
view.
An excerpt from “Star
Wars: A New Hope — The
Princess, the Scoundrel,
and the Farm Boy” is online,
and its first sentence echoes
the famous beginning of the
first “Star Wars” movie:
“The story begins as so
many do: a long, long time
ago ... in a place far beyond
the glittering stars you see
in your night sky.”
These won’t be the only
new “Star Wars” books to be
released in the coming
months. In March, Disney
Worldwide Publishing revealed that more than 20
books, including some
aimed at children, are
planned for publication this
year.
The book trilogy will be
released Sept. 22.

MUSIC

Mel Melcon Los Angeles Times

TOMMY TALLARICO, in the Spider-Man room of his home in San Juan Capistrano, said John Williams’ soundtrack for “Star Wars” inspired him when he was a boy.

Where gamers, tuxedos mix

[Music, from F1]
who has no formal musical training, has spent the last decade
bringing two contrasting worlds
together. His “Video Games Live”
concerts have reportedly sold
more than 1 million tickets and
been performed by symphonies in
the U.S., Europe, China and the
Middle East. Orchestras, including
the San Francisco Symphony, have
sold out concert halls to gamers,
mostly young men who spend
countless hours traversing fantasy-scapes and virtual battlefields.
“Folks come up to me after the
shows and say, ‘Tommy, when are
you coming back?’ ”
A swift man with a sly laugh,
Tallarico, a cousin of Aerosmith’s
Steven Tyler, adds a bit of carnival
flash to the often staid classical
scene. Struggling with fewer subscribers, shrinking donations and
questions of how to compete with
on-demand entertainment, many
orchestras have been experimenting with innovative programming
even as purists fret that classical
music is straying from tradition to
appease trends and fashions.
“We’re trying to find the sweet
spot that transcends generational
differences,” said Susan Webb,
marketing director for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, which
last month performed a “Video
Games Live” show in which audience members dressed up as their
favorite characters. “We love our
musicians in their tuxedos, but this
takes it to a whole new level in
reaching out to younger, techsavvy audiences.”

Gamers, Tchaikovsky

Orchestras these days can no
longer rely on the likes of Brahms
and Mahler to fill seats. At the
same time, video game music has
become increasingly sophisticated. The bleep-bleep, blip-blip
days of “Pac-Man” and “Space Invaders” are, like the Cold War and
Woodstock, ancient history. Scores
for “World of Warcraft” and other
games call for strings, woodwinds,
brass and choruses — whirling scales for an industry whose franchises rival Hollywood’s.
“It’s not the solution to the
underlying problems of orchestras,
but it’s a way to reach out to an audience not usually associated with
classical music,” said Emmanuel
Fratianni, a Los Angeles-based
classically trained pianist who conducts and composes video game
music. “It’s impressive and intimidating for gamers to step into this
[concert] world. But will they come

Tallarico’s home.
back for a Beethoven or Mozart?
That’s our goal. We need to blur the
lines a little more to expose the
gamer to Tchaikovsky.”
Classical music, including Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” and
Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,”
has been featured in video games
for years. In 2011, the London Philharmonic Orchestra released “The
Greatest Video Game Music,”
which Rolling Stone called the
year’s “weirdest hit album.” The
CD included music from “Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare 2” and “Angry Birds” and was followed with a
sequel.
“I find it heartening that
gamers have found classical music,” Martha Gilmer, chief executive of the San Diego Symphony,
which performed “Video Games
Live” last year. Merging classical
music with pop culture is reminiscent of early 20th century cartoons,
notably Walt’s Disney’s “Fantasia,”
which featured music by Bach,
Schubert and Stravinsky.
Gilmer added that like the classical masters, the best video game
composers understand melodic
lines and the varied colors and textures of clarinets, flutes and other
instruments. Played by a full orchestra, today’s video game music,

she said, takes on an “epic proportion” that could inspire gamers to
return to the concert hall. “Live
music has great impact,” she said.
But Tallarico, 47, who grew up
listening to Jerry Lee Lewis, believes many orchestras view the
world through antique lenses. He
composes his scores with computer software, and his concerts are
kaleidoscopes of rising mists, extraterrestrials, warriors, heroes,
spacecraft careening through solar systems, all to thrumming cellos, heralding French horns and
spiraling flutes. Audiences cheer.
“These orchestras need to hire
me to produce a Beethoven concert,” said Tallarico, who debuted
“Video Games Live” in 2005 at the
Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “I love Beethoven, but I have a problem sitting
through two hours of Beethoven.
It’s a bunch of people on stage in
tuxedos going ‘ssshhh.’ I want everyone to clap and scream when
they want.”
Many musicians might wince at
that notion. Video game music, after all, is a sideshow. But with dystopian landscapes, cinematic
crispness and good-versus-evil
narratives, game music summons
worlds that speak to the fears and
ambitions of an age that is at once
entranced and intimidated by
technology. Unlike most movies,
where music is layered in after filming, music in the best video game
feels ingrained in the plot.
Among the most accomplished
is the score from “Final Fantasy,”
composed by Nobuo Uematsu,

whose youthful piano playing was
inspired by Elton John. Like “Video
Games Live,” Uematsu’s scores are
performed by orchestras around
the world in a program called “Distant Worlds.” Another popular
touring show is the music from
Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda,”
much of it written by Koji Kondo.

TV, film experience

Like a number of video game
composers, some of whom can
earn more than $500,000 a year,
Fratianni came to the industry after working on music for films and
TV shows, including “Breaking
Bad.” In 2005, Tallarico, Fratianni,
Michael Plowman and Laurie Robinson composed the game music to
“Advent Rising.” The score was inspired by Italian opera and recorded with a 70-piece orchestra on a
Paramount soundstage. The choral passages were sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
A review by the website, Video
Game Music Online, praised the
compositions for “lush orchestration, underlied by romantic piano
work” and tracks that “re-inforce
the atmosphere and mood of the
game.”
Tallarico is a master at creating
atmosphere, ever since he was a
Massachusetts boy banging on the
family piano or playing “Space Invaders” deep into the night. After
driving across country in 1990, he
said, he lived briefly under a pier in
Huntington Beach and took a $4.25
an-hour job selling guitars in Santa
Ana. He found a second job testing
video games for what would be-

come Virgin Interactive. “There
was no such thing as a video game
composer back then,” he said, adding that he started working with
programmers to code music into
games.
The Internet and fast-evolving
graphics technology turned the industry into a global force. The music matured as well. “I could write a
three-minute piece about 100 men
with swords coming on horseback
to a village,” he said. “It’s epic music. Violins going, timpanis going
crazy, men, women and children’s
choirs going. I can take it and
record it in a bunch of different
ways with different intensities.”
His home in San Juan Capistrano looks as if a 12-year-old with
a huge bank account went wild. It
includes a life-size Indiana Jones, a
Spider-Man room streaked with
real spider webs, a Disney room
with an original drawing of Pinocchio, a framed celluloid still from a
vintage 1940s Bugs Bunny cartoon,
a clutch of full-size “Star Wars”
characters and, by the pool, a statue of Merlin lurking near a lawn tiger bought in Las Vegas.
“These are all the things I grew
up with,” he said. “I’m making a
Willy Wonka section right now.”
He is surrounded by childhood
images. Pictures of his grandparents, immigrants from Italy,
hang in the stairway. His father,
who once sold life insurance, is his
chief financial officer and his
brother handles merchandising.
“Yeah,” said Tallarico, whose bar is
filled not with liquor but with dozens of bottles of balsamic vinegar,
“in typical Italian fashion I moved
my family out here.”
Downstairs near a room that resembles the inner chamber of an
Egyptian pyramid sits his clunky
1975 Telstar video game console.
He still plays it. Tallarico these
days hosts many “Video Games
Live” shows, flitting through laser
lights with his guitar in front of the
orchestra. Some classical musicians remain skeptical.
“I can tell right away who the
problems will be,” said Tallarico.
“Some of the older musicians have
been playing the masters for 40
years and now we come along with
our video screens and fog machines and they look at the music
score and say, ‘Who is Sonic the
Hedgehog?’ They kind of snicker,
but when they play the music they
say, ‘Hey, this sounds like Carmina
Burana by Orff.’ ”

BOOK REVIEW

Christina House For The Times

“WE DON’T have books about poor black fathers,” said Jorja Leap, who makes it her mission to debunk the myth of the absent black father in her latest work.

THE WRITER’S LIFE

Fathers in Watts find a voice
Jorja Leap listens and learns in helping shed light on what fatherhood is like for poor and black Angelenos

By Tre’vell Anderson
Jorja Leap is no ordinary professor; she’s got what many would
call “street cred.”
Sitting in her office at UCLA,
where she teaches at the Luskin
School of Public Affairs, she points
to two photos hanging above her
desk. The first is of her with Father
Greg Boyle, founder of Los Angeles’ Homeboy Industries, an organization that works to steer people from gang life. She’s done extensive work with Father Boyle
and the men and women he helps
mentor.
The second, in black and white,
is of black and Latino men and
their children. These are members
of Project Fatherhood, former
gang members and ex-cons with
whom Leap has worked for the
past five years at the Jordan
Downs apartments in Watts. They
are the subject of her new book,
“Project Fatherhood: A Story of
Courage and Healing in One of
America’s Toughest Communities” (Beacon Press: 256 pp.,
$24.95). All proceeds benefit Project Fatherhood Jordan Downs.
“I knew the minute they started
talking, I had to bear witness, and
it became important to me that
their stories were out there,” said
Leap. “We don’t have books about
poor black fathers. We have books
about men of color who have raised
themselves up, but we also need to
know of this experience.”
Project Fatherhood was started
by the late Dr. Hershel Swinger, a
clinical psychologist and former
senior vice president of Los Angeles’ Children’s Institute. The pro-

gram provides therapy, support
and training for low-income urban
fathers.
In 2006 under Swinger’s leadership, Project Fatherhood received
a $7.5-million federal grant to replicate itself in smaller iterations
throughout Los Angeles County.
Some of those groups have come to
focus their attention on fathers in
jail and gay dads. The one at Jordan Downs began in 2010 when Michael Cummings, a former gang
member turned tow truck driver
and gang interventionist, pulled in
Leap and an initial group of fathers
with whom he had already been
speaking.
“It was kind of like a dream
come true,” said Cummings about
the group’s formation.
Leap jumped at the opportunity to serve as the group’s “master
social worker,” as Cummings
called her, because it was a chance
to return to South Los Angeles, a
place she calls home.
Until age 10, Leap lived in the
South L.A. neighborhood of Westmont. Her mom and dad went to
high schools in the area, and her
grandparents are buried there.
Her first memory of Watts, however, centers on what her uncle called
the “social uprisings” of 1965.
“I remember not being frightened by the riots,” Leap said. “I remember just wanting to know
why.”
Eventually, she would “learn
about the kind of poverty in Watts
and the economic dislocation that
existed.” While pursuing her master’s in social work from UCLA, she
requested a field assignment in
South Los Angeles. There, she experienced a revelation as “a minor-

ity in a sea of black faces.”
“It is the moment that changed
my life,” Leap said.
A petite woman, raised Greek,
she found acceptance in a community where, as she said, many who
look like her are scared to drive
through, let alone work.
But Watts is where she felt she
belonged. “I’m basically a gangster
at heart,” she said, laughing. “They
know who’s one of theirs. They
know who cares and who’s there for
the photo op.”
Thirty-five years later, Leap has
become an internationally recognized gang expert who calls former
gang members friends and family.
In “Project Fatherhood,” she showcases some of their stories.
The book is a culmination of

four years of conversations and
weekly meetings with the fathers of
Jordan Downs that reflect the authentic lived experiences of these
men as they navigate parenthood.
The book, Leap said, debunks the
myth of the absent black father.
“It wasn’t the absent black father,” she said. “It was not the conventional father, not the Bill Cosby
father ... but he was a presence in
his children’s lives.”
The men who participated and
continue to participate are no different from any other parent.
“These men’s desires and intentions are to be providers, economically independent, raise their children and they want their children
to go to college,” Leap said. “Who
does that sound like? Every [sin-

gle] person I know.”
According to Leap — who also
wrote the 2012 book “Jumped In:
What Gangs Taught Me about Violence, Drugs, Love, and Redemption” — these men have a sophisticated, nuanced understanding of
race, as demonstrated by their
conversations recorded in “Project
Fatherhood” of the 2013 shootings
by former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner, the election of President Obama and the
death of Trayvon Martin.
“With the fathers, I have had the
deepest, most intellectually informative, honest conversations
I’ve ever had,” she said.
Leap hopes that those who read
the book will take a lesson that can
also be applied to the unrest seen
in response to police brutality
across the nation in cities such as
like Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore.
“It’s about poverty and about
race,” she said. “Police brutality is
the symptom.”
As co-leader of the group and a
central voice in “Project Fatherhood,” Cummings agreed the experience has been transformative for
participants and their families
alike. It proves that “everybody can
be a father no matter what your situation is or what it looks like.”
Cummings and Leap together,
with help from a number of others,
have also begun a Project Fatherhood group at Jordan Downs’
neighbor, Nickerson Gardens. The
plan is to “reinforce what’s a
strength in this community in a
very real way,” Leap said.
“Watts is different,” she continued, “but Watts is worth it.”

A Depression-era heroine comes to life
By Steph Cha

Saint Mazie
A Novel

Jami Attenberg

Grand Central Publishing: 324 pp., $25

In addition to having published
four novels and a short-story collection since 2006, Jami Attenberg
once went viral for busting a bike
thief in Brooklyn, which makes her
one of the most New York authors
of the 21st century, as far as I’m concerned. It makes sense then that
after 2012’s bestselling Midwest
family saga “The Middlesteins” she
should return to New York with her
new book, “Saint Mazie,” an engaging work of historical fiction based
on the life of Mazie Phillips-Gordon, a woman once known as
“Queen of the Bowery.”
Attenberg first discovered Mazie — who was the ticket taker and
proprietress of the Venice, a movie
theater in the heart of the Lower
East Side — when a friend suggested she read a1940 profile by the

New Yorker’s Joseph Mitchell.
That piece inspired her fictionalized portrait of a celebrated neighborhood fixture who “was charismatic and generous, and led a very
big life for someone who barely left
a twenty-block radius.” Manning
her ticket booth, walking the
streets, Mazie helped many people
who were homeless, especially during the Great Depression.
The novel represents a reconstruction within a reconstruction,
with Attenberg choosing a documentary format for her account.
The bulk of it is devoted to a diary,
kept by Mazie and uncovered decades after the events it describes,
but there are also elements of what
becomes an invented oral history:
a chorus of talking heads, including Mazie’s neighbor, the son of one
of her love interests and the greatgranddaughter of the Venice’s
manager, and a few brief excerpts
from Mazie’s unpublished autobiography as well.
Occasionally,
this
conceit
stretches thin — as when Mazie’s
sister Jeanie writes convenient extended entries in the diary, or dis-

Grand Central Publishing

tracting, undeveloped romantic
tensions arise between Attenberg’s
fictional documentarian and a couple of her interview subjects — but
for the most part, it’s an effective
vehicle for a lot of compelling, immediate, first-person prose.

Mazie’s voice carries the novel;
witty, passionate, high-spirited
and warm, she is the best possible
guide to her own life. The diary
opens on her 10th birthday, after
she and Jeanie leave their abusive,
poverty-stricken childhood home
in Boston for life in New York with
their older sister Rosie and her
husband Lou. It follows her
through a wild, hedonistic youth
(“The whole world’s my sweetheart”), the ups and downs of her
love life and her many trials with a
loving but flawed family. We see her
work hard and sacrifice and empathize to the point of pain.
Most of all, we see her, both restless and constant, roaming and
loving the city’s streets. “These
streets are dirty, but they’re home,
and they’re beautiful to me,” she
tells us. “If you can’t see the beauty
in the dirt then I feel sorry for you.”
Over time, she eases into her
role as Saint Mazie of the Lower
East Side — a nonpracticing Jew,
she finds her calling in a near-spiritual dedication to compassion, informed by her experiences as well
as her close friendship with a

young nun. “Some saints,” she explains, “begin their lives imperfect
and then turn into something special. Sister Tee says we are the sum
of our imperfections. We sin and
then we learn from our sins.”
At one point, the owner of Mazie’s diary describes the experience
of reading it from cover to cover. He
says it was “chattering at me, asking to be read,” and that “[n]ear
the end I started reading really
slowly because I didn’t want it to be
over, I just wanted it to go on and
on. I wanted her to live forever.”
This is a bold move on Attenberg’s part — she attributes awe to
her own character at the power of a
fictional artifact she has created
and produced. Luckily for everyone, such confidence is warranted.
Attenberg has written a winning novel and a lovely tribute to a
New Yorker whose only claim to
fame is her outsized kindness. Her
Mazie is richly imagined and threedimensional, and in these pages
she lives forever.
Cha is the author, most recently, of
“Beware Beware.”

BOOK REVIEW

A turbulent life in Stalin’s shadow
The Soviet ruler’s favorite child, Svetlana, survived much, as told in this empathetic account of her life
By Wendy Smith

Stalin’s Daughter
The Extraordinary and
Tumultuous Life of
Svetlana Alliluyeva
Rosemary Sullivan
Harper: 752 pp., $35

“Why is it that I cannot find my
own right way?” Svetlana Alliluyeva asked herself in 1986. She had rejected the confining privileges of
being Joseph Stalin’s daughter
when she defected from the Soviet
Union in 1967, writing to the son
and daughter she left behind that
“[i]t is impossible to be always a
slave.” But she also proved illequipped for dealing with “this
modern jungle of freedom” in the
West.
It took fewer than two decades
for Alliluyeva to run through the
$1.5 million garnered by her memoir, “Twenty Letters to a Friend,”
most of it absorbed by the debts of
the man she impulsively wed only
three weeks after they met in 1970.
The marriage didn’t last even two
years; she spent the next decade
moving back and forth across the
U.S. and to England with their
daughter Olga in tow. When she decided, again on the spur of the moment, to return to Russia in 1984,
she cemented many people’s impression of her as an unstable loose
cannon.
A principal virtue of Canadian
critic and biographer Rosemary
Sullivan’s empathetic “Stalin’s
Daughter: The Extraordinary and
Tumultuous Life of Svetlana Alliluyeva” is the vivid sense it offers of
Alliluyeva as a woman buffeted by
forces beyond her control, including her unruly emotions, in a world
where her symbolic significance
overshadowed her individual
qualities.
Yes, Svetlana Stalina was a Soviet “princess” (a word seriously
overused here as it is in everything
written about her), favorite child of
the U.S.S.R.’s most powerful man.
She was also the shellshocked sur-

vivor of her mother’s suicide in
1932, when she was only 6, and the
disappearance of several close
relatives during the purges orchestrated later in that decade by her
father.
Sullivan’s account of Svetlana’s
youth depicts her oscillating between compliance and rebellion.
She wed once in defiance of her father’s wishes, once to please him;
both marriages failed. After Stalin
died in 1953, she hoped “to be treated as ordinary” and live quietly
with her two children. She took her
mother’s maiden name, Alliluyeva;
she got a master’s degree in Rus-

sian literature and went to work at
the Gorky Institute of World Literature, quietly defending the dissident writers who emerged during
the tentative thaw that followed
Nikita Khrushchev’s 1956 speech
acknowledging her father’s crimes.
Yet Alliluyeva still felt no one
truly saw her. “She simply couldn’t
trust people,” said one of her few
close friends. At the suggestion of
another, she began writing a memoir chronicling a life filled with “cruel bereavements …disappointments and losses.” After she fell in
love with Brajesh Singh, a foreigner undergoing treatment in a

Moscow hospital, he arranged to
have the manuscript of “Twenty
Letters to a Friend” smuggled into
his native India. The thaw was over
by 1965; it wasn’t safe even for his
daughter to write candidly about
the Stalin years.
The Leonid Brezhnev regime
refused to register Alliluyeva’s
marriage to the terminally ill
Singh, although it inexplicably permitted her to take his ashes to India. Sullivan suggests that her appearance at the American Embassy in New Delhi on March 6,
1967, was a characteristically hasty
decision; Alliluyeva wanted to stay

in India, but the government
feared offending the U.S.S.R. The
Lyndon B. Johnson administration, though pursuing improved
Soviet relations, couldn’t resist the
publicity coup of giving asylum to
Stalin’s daughter; it helped arrange a lucrative book deal so she
could be admitted as a private citizen visiting her publisher.
It’s not easy to do justice to Alliluyeva’s turbulent years in the U.S.
As intelligent as she was volatile,
she yearned to lead a normal
“American” life yet remained Russian to the core, a warm and loyal
friend who held implacable
grudges and was capable of bitterly
breaking with anyone she felt had
betrayed her.
Sullivan does a nice job of conveying her subject’s point of view
without accepting it as the last
word. She recognizes the neediness that fueled Alliluyeva’s love affairs and ill-judged final marriage
as well as the lingering guilt that
enabled the Soviets to manipulate
her one more time when they allowed her son to make contact in
1982. His claim that he was seriously ill provoked her abortive return to the motherland; that too
lasted less than two years.
Ironically, Alliluyeva seems to
have found peace in her final two
decades, when she was reduced to
living in charitable housing in the
U.K. and then in senior residences
in the United States. Perhaps the
struggle to control her life had been
too much for her and she was relieved simply to let it go. Sullivan
paints a moving picture of her
warm relationship with Olga, who
apparently never resented her
rootless, restless childhood, and
quotes in closing from a tender letter Alliluyeva left her daughter upon her death. “I am always with
you,” she wrote, “in loving ways.” At
last, Stalin’s daughter could write
entirely as a private person.

Q&A

Vendela Vida turns up in Casablanca

By J.C. Gabel
Vendela Vida has for more than
a decade published novels centered on women in crisis. Set in
foreign lands, her stories push the
boundaries of preconstructed
female identities.
Vida’s fourth — and most accomplished — novel, “The Diver’s
Clothes Lie Empty” (Ecco: 216 pp.,
$25.99), is a page-turning thriller
with a subtle, satirical bent; it
follows an unnamed narrator
through the streets of Casablanca
as she tries to escape a failed relationship and restart her life.
In the opening pages, her backpack, containing passport, money
and computer, is stolen from the
hotel where she is staying. Vida’s
heroine ends up taking on several
identities not her own and begins
to mold her personality from them;
in part, to keep from being caught
but more practically to survive.
By happenstance, she is offered
a job on a movie set as a stand-in
for a famous actress, and this
device sets the book’s break-neck
cinematic pace. I talked with Vida
about the novel and her inspirations, including travel, film and
getting school credit for lying.
Your title, “The Diver’s Clothes
Lie Empty,” comes from a Rumi
poem, which you reproduce in its
entirety. Did you know that was
going to be the title all along?
It was something I came to
later. Martin Amis once said there
are two kinds of titles: The title you

have in the very beginning or the
one you have at the end, and if you
figure out the title in the beginning, it creeps into the narrative as
you’re writing it. For me, it’s the
opposite; I like to stumble upon
the title after I’ve written a lengthy
draft and shared it with others. In
the case of “Diver’s Clothes,” I was
showing parts of the book to a
writing group I’ve been a part of
for the last 10 years, and one of the
writers said, “Isn’t there that great
Rumi poem about a diver?” Afterward, I went to Dog-Eared Books
in San Francisco and found a book
of Rumi poems, and as soon as I
found the poem and read it I knew
it was going to work as the title of
my book.

You’ve said that you read a lot of
other authors’ books when preparing to write your own. What
other media do you rely on for
inspiration?
I do read a lot of novels when
I’m gearing up to write a novel. But
when I’m writing the book itself, I
tend to read a lot of poetry. I love
the attention to detail poets have. I
find that helpful. When I was writing this new book, I didn’t actually
let myself read many other books;
instead I turned to film. I had a
professor when I was in grad
school say that if you ever get
stuck writing a book, try to imagine it in a different medium. So for
the opening of a book, what would
it look like if it were a film? Or a
play? Anyhow, I watch a lot of
movies that are related to the book
when I’m writing it.

Chloe Aftel Associated Press

VENDELA VIDA injected

humor into her fourth novel.
What are some examples in relation to “The Diver’s Clothes”?
The Michelangelo Antonioni
film “The Passenger” is one. It’s
not set in Morocco, but there’s this
idea of using someone else’s passport and taking on someone else’s
identity — that was fascinating to
me. I also watched “The Talented
Mr. Ripley.” Any films about identity that also had a thriller component were really useful.
The American actress in the book
is portrayed satirically, but she is
never named. Are there details
that, in your view, are better left
unsaid?
Years ago, I was interviewing

Shirley Hazzard for the Believer
[magazine], and in her book, “The
Great Fire,” she has a character on
a train reading a book, and she
never says what the book is, but
she gives snippets or hints. The
book is “War and Peace,” which
she confirmed with me when I
interviewed her. But I really admired the way she did that: She
didn’t tell the reader what the
book was, but it helped you get
inside the character’s mind. I
loved that technique, and I’ve used
it a couple of times now.
This slight skewering of Hollywood: Was it something you originally intended, or did it surface in
the writing?
I think it was always present.
My other books have come off a
little bit dark at times. With this
new book, I wanted to make sure I
kept it light enough so that I could
inject humor when needed. I didn’t
set out to write a satire, per se, but
I wanted to have the capacity, this
time around, to use humor. I really

enjoy writing and reading humorous scenes.
When did you know you wanted to
be a writer?
I knew I wanted to be a writer at
a young age. My parents weren’t
big readers, but they did have a
great collection of books, in part
because my father had an antiques
business and gallery. He had this
big, beautiful old bookshelf, and he
had to fill it with books, which I
think he got at a garage or estate
sale. So my sister and I would take
these books down and read them,
even though we probably were too
young. I remember loving Somerset Maugham’s books, even
though, looking back now, it’s
unclear how much I truly understood at the time.
Also, I would get into trouble for
lying when I was younger. I was
always lying. I remember once
telling a bunch of neighbors that
my family had adopted my friend,
who was visiting, and that she was
going to live with us. News made it
around the neighborhood, and the
consequences were terrible. I
remember being grounded in my
room, having to call everyone and
apologize for making this story up.
Later, when I was 10 or 11, I
wrote a short story in school and it
dawned on me that this might be a
way to lie and get away with it. And
what’s better, I was getting credit
in school for coming up with these
tall tales.

publisher in Los Angeles.

MILAN KUNDERA’S new book, “The Festival of Insignificance,” continues his investigations and reacts to present-day toxicity.

Kundera’s (slight) return
[Kundera, from F1]
but very soon there’s another
change; the dead become the old
dead, no one remembers them any
longer and they vanish into the
void; only a few of them, very, very
rare ones, leave their names behind in people’s memories, but,
lacking any authentic witnesses
now, any actual recollection, they
become marionettes.”
This, of course — the issue of
meaning in the face of human vanity — has long been at the center of
Kundera’s work. His first novel,
“The Joke,” published in Czechoslovakia in 1967, describes in part
the fallout from a satirical postcard (“OPTIMISM IS THE
OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE!” it declares. “THE HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE STINKS! LONG LIVE
TROTSKY!”) sent by a Czech student to a young woman he wishes
to seduce: humor that cannot be
read as humor, in other words.
A similar theme motivates “The
Festival of Insignificance,” which
also traffics in jokes, or more accurately, in our inability to respond to
jokes anymore. “We’ve known for a
long time that it was no longer possible to overturn this world nor reshape it, nor hold off its dangerous
headlong rush,” a character
named Ramon explains at a Paris
cocktail party. “There’s only one
possible resistance: to not take it
seriously. But I think our jokes
have lost their power.”
Ramon is talking to a friend
named Caliban, after the Shakespeare character; Caliban likes to
pretend he is Pakistani, speaking
an invented language of nonsense
syllables. And yet this only makes
Kundera’s case, for what once
might have been a surrealist puton, a bit of personal performance

art, now comes loaded with risk.
“If some servant to truth should
discover that you’re French!” Ramon continues. “Then of course
you’ll be suspect! He’ll think you
must have some shady reason to be
hiding your identity! He’ll alert the
police! You’ll be interrogated!
You’ll explain that your Pakistani
character was a joke. They’ll laugh
at you: What a stupid alibi! You
must certainly have been up to no
good! They’ll put you in handcuffs!” Joking, he concludes, “has
become dangerous. … It really was
the start of a new era. The twilight
of joking! The post-joke age!”
That Kundera has his tongue
half in his cheek is part of the
charm: Look at all those breathless
exclamation marks. At the same
time, he is completely serious, as he
has always been, about the folly of
our machinations, political or
otherwise.
It’s tempting to regard Kundera
as apolitical, despite his long Parisian exile. (He abandoned Czechoslovakia for France in 1975.) But
that’s an oversimplification, for in
works such as “The Book of Laughter and Forgetting” and “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” he
pioneered a sensibility framed
around larger notions of liberation
and freedom, using sexual politics
as a metaphor for affairs of state.
“What seemed to be political fa-

HarperCollins

naticism,” he writes in the former
novel, “was only an excuse, a parable, a manifesto of fidelity, a coded
plaint of unrequited love.” It’s a
brilliant move, not only for its sheer
subversive power — critiquing a
government in terms it does not
recognize — but also for its understanding of desire as essential,
equally, to politics and ardor.
In “The Festival of Insignificance,” Kundera extrapolates such
a sensibility to our terror-besotted
world. This is not to say the new
book offers commentary, exactly;
that would be far too great a weight
for this thin and intentionally inconsequential novel to bear. “Only
from the heights of an infinite good
mood,” the author writes in these
pages, quoting Hegel, “can you observe below you the eternal stupidity of me, and laugh over it.” That
has been his purpose, or one of
them, all along.

In that sense, “The Festival of
Insignificance” offers both a continuation of Kundera’s signature
investigations and a reaction to the
toxicity of the present day. It’s not a
brilliant book; Kundera, 86, hasn’t
written a brilliant book since 1986’s
“The Art of the Novel,” which
traces an alternative tradition of
fiction, what we might call the antinovel, with roots in the work of
Laurence Sterne and Denis Diderot.
“I often hear it said that the novel has exhausted all its possibilities,” Kundera asserted in 1985. “I
have the opposite impression: during its 400-year history, the novel
has missed many of its possibilities; it has left many great opportunities unexplored, many paths
forgotten, calls unheard.”
This is the territory from which
“The Festival of Insignificance” operates, which means the most useful way to read it may be as an epilogue. It is slight, incidental, a book
in which little happens: a cocktail
party, some unrequited longing, a
bit of humor. Still, it is compelling
in its small way.
Among the novel’s running motifs is a story Joseph Stalin used to
tell about his prowess as a hunter,
recast here as (yes) a joke. The
joke, however, is on Stalin, since he
is now among “the old dead,” a
point Kundera makes explicit by
imagining him transplanted to
contemporary Paris, where he goes
unrecognized. Marionettes again,
another motif of the novel, a reminder of how little everything
counts. Or, as Ramon suggests in
the closing pages: “Insignificance,
my friend, is the essence of existence.”

A view from the back of the van
By Robert Anasi

Your Band Sucks

What I Saw at Indie Rock’s
Failed Revolution (But Can
No Longer Hear)
Jon Fine

Viking: 302 pp., $27.95

Long, long ago in a time now
known as the early ’80s, long before
Pandora, file sharing and even
compact discs, to find new music
you trudged to a record store and
sifted through bins of LPs. If you
lived in the suburbs, your options
were limited to a few national
chains that sold only the latest corporate-approved offerings from
commercial radio. Jon Fine grew
up in just such a musical wasteland
in New Jersey, but a fortuitous
summer camp encounter with the
Dead Kennedys and Sex Pistols
shoved Fine into the punk-indie-alternative music wormhole.
Now executive editor at Inc.
magazine, Fine looks back, in
“Your Band Sucks: What I Saw at
Rock’s Failed Revolution (But Can
No Longer Hear),” at the forces
that propelled him — a shy Jewish
kid on the nerd-freak-loser fringe
— to learn guitar, start a band, and
embrace a marginal musical culture. His band’s abrasive name,
Bitch Magnet, points to his early
knowledge that he wouldn’t end up
on MTV and in a Malibu mansion.
As Fine puts it, “Bands like ours
didn’t give a … about any of that.”
What the trio did “give a …
about” was the music and a “paral-

Viking

lel music industry” that required
its members to tour relentlessly,
flog their own records and play
their guts out in front of audiences
that numbered from the low three
figures to the low one figure. Evolving out of hardcore punk, Bitch
Magnet, alongside bands like Slint
and the Boredoms, pioneered
“math rock,” incorporating complex rhythmic structures and odd
time signatures while remaining as
brain-numbingly loud as hardcore.
Bitch Magnet’s intense run,
from 1986 to 1990, resulted in three
albums, some 7-inchers, hundreds
of shows and a net financial loss for
everyone involved. Yet the same
community that embraced Bitch
Magnet’s particular obscurity
would also provide it with a second

act; Fine would just have to wait for
two decades.
In vivid prose, Fine details the
process of touring and self-promotion — wheat pasting, mass mailings, crappy food, sleep deprivation — as well as the exultation of
rocking out before the occasional
packed house. He recalls shows in
living rooms and kitchens, remembers girlfriends lost and stolen, and
apologizes for leaving a semensoaked sweatsock in the back of a
van.
As with so many bands before
and after, poverty and personality
clashes brought Bitch Magnet
down. Despite his current straight
job, Fine continued playing in
other smart rock bands: leading
the Pynchon-referencing Vineland
(1991-96), playing bass with Alger
Hiss (1996-98), guitar with Don Caballero (1999) and guitar in Coptic
Light (2000-06). Now Fine has
graduated to an adult life.
What the Internet taketh away,
however (and it has taken so
much), it also giveth, and Fine discovers that Bitch Magnet lived on
in the vaporous realm of bits and
bytes, of YouTube and websites devoted to the genre that his band
helped pioneer. This ephemeral
survival led to an invitation in 2011
to play a reunion show at All Tomorrow’s Parties: a festival that
presented the outsider bands of
their youths to indie rockers trudging into middle age. So Fine, who’d
never lost his rock ’n’ roll heart (although his hearing was a different
story), set out to reassemble Bitch
Magnet 21 years later and take to
the road again.

Fine’s cantankerous humor and
relentless self-criticism save this
reunion from a cheap sitcom ending. Presenting himself as motormouthed, opinionated and generally hard to please, Fine makes it
easy to understand why his more
reserved bandmates could weary
of him in the tour van. The reunion
goes on for almost a hundred pages
— about 50 pages too long — as
Fine recounts every venue, meal
and emotion along the way. A cautionary note threads through the
last chapters as Fine grapples with
the auditory damage caused by his
addiction to volume.
As engaging as Fine can be,
“Your Band Sucks” fails to do justice to its subtitle. Although Fine
enlivens his narrative with anecdotes from musicians who worked
the same circuit – including Ed
Roeser of Urge Overkill, Doug
McCombs of Tortoise and Lou Barlow of Sebadoh — he ultimately
shortchanges his failed revolution.
Fine writes that, “… at Oberlin I got
disgusted with lefty politics almost
immediately,” a flip dismissal that
blinds him to what made the indie
scene more than just another musical trend. If music was the most
visible (and loudest) segment of
that indie underworld, the music
sustained itself on the possibility of
a functioning culture outside of the
commercial mainstream — one hip
to feminism and international politics. That Fine doesn’t make room
for these other currents helps to
explain why the revolution failed.

ART

Modern eye on the classical
[Ray, from F1]
Periclean Athens and Hellenistic
Greece and heroic figures from Imperial Rome now usefully resound
in the work of one of today’s most
significant artists.
Classical education as a primary engine of modern knowledge,
a faith born of the Age of Enlightenment, collapsed long ago. Since
the widespread replacement of liberal arts and sciences with practical and professional training, antiquity has seemed ever more remote as a source of artistic inspiration.
Yet it’s everywhere in “Charles
Ray: Sculpture, 1997-2014,” the exceptional survey on view at the
Art Institute of Chicago through
Oct. 4.
Amazons, Egypt’s Akhenaten
and Nefertiti, Ninevah’s Ashurbanipal, sleeping Eros, the marble
Kritios Boy, Aphrodite, the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius on
Rome’s Capitoline Hill — ancient
precedents hum within the artistic
DNA of Ray’s distinctive recent
work.
He’s not a copyist — not in the
least. These sculptures and reliefs
are not appropriation art. Instead,
Ray has been absorbing the lessons of antiquity to infuse contemporary figurative sculpture with an
imaginative inner life.
One astounding result is “Huck
and Jim,” a monumental new work
based on Mark Twain’s literary
masterpiece.
Grappling
with
America’s struggle for a civilized
society is a subject as relevant today as it was when Twain’s book
was published 130 years ago. Ray’s
sculpture, having its public debut
here, is an extraordinary achievement.

Spare yet potent

The exhibition is presented in a
spare and lovely installation in the
museum’s Modern Wing. It was organized by Bernhard Mendes Bürgi, director at the Kunstmuseum
Basel, where it was seen last year,
and Art Institute curator James
Rondeau. Lucky Chicago, where
Ray was born in 1953, is its only
American venue.
The show features just 19 sculptures from the past 17 years. Those
numbers indicate the slow, steady
care Ray lavishes on his production. Each work can require years
to complete.
Take “Aluminum Girl,” a 5-foottall standing nude fabricated from
ductile metal and painted a matte,
light-absorbent white. (Think
chicken’s egg.) This contemporary
Aphrodite, completed in 2003 and
his first in the classicizing genre,
took shape over the course of six
years.
Ray started it while deep into
the production of “Unpainted
Sculpture,” one of several tour de
force works. A smashed-up, 1991
Pontiac Grand Am was refabricated from scratch, fragment by
twisted fragment. The actual
wrecked car, which the artist found
in a salvage yard, had been demolished in a fatal accident.
Ray made scores of molds representing each wrecked piece
from the interior, exterior, engine
compartment and trunk. A fiberglass model was cast from each
mold.
Then, since the process resulted in parts slightly larger than
the original, they had to be slightly
altered so they could be fitted back
together into a coherent whole.
The finished object, not quite a
doppelganger but an uncanny approximation of life, rests lightly on
the ground.
The finished car-wreck sculpture was smoothly spray-painted a
light gray, unifying the voluptuous
form and tamping down its expressionistic fervor. (Surfaces are critical in Ray’s work, whether metal,
wood or fiberglass, painted or unpainted.) As you move around it,
the noncolor yields a fleeting shadow-play.
Someone unknown to us died
violently in the crash that lurks in
the sculpture’s back story. But a
sculpture is itself a bodily thing,
even if the body is dead and gone.
Ghosts lurk in this machine.

Solidly ethereal

“Unpainted Sculpture” is Ray’s
“Laocoön.” That ancient, Hellenistic-style sculpture was dug up in
Rome in 1506. (Michelangelo
helped with restoration of its vivid,
expressionistic forms.) As serpents strangle an agonized priest
and his writhing sons, a bravura
paradox emerges: Ideal beauty is
embedded in a sculptural ensemble of suffering and death.
Magnificent decay is a central
theme in “Hinoki,” the artist’s 32foot-long sculptural twin of a massive, fallen oak tree. Ray, his studio
crew and Japanese craftsmen
spent years casting it in silicone
and fiberglass and then carving
out a look-alike from blocks of cypress.
In classical antiquity, cypress
was a symbol of mourning. A wood
sculpture that portrays decomposing wood will itself decompose
over a span of centuries. “Hinoki”
performs an excruciatingly slowmotion dance of cyclical life and
death.

Charles Ray Art Institute of Chicago

“HUCK AND JIM,” making its public debut at Art Institute of Chicago, is an astounding achievement for L.A.-based Charles Ray.

Art Institute of Chicago

“UNPAINTED SCULPTURE” re-creates a demolished Pontiac

Grand Am that Ray happened upon in a salvage yard.
“Sleeping Woman” is Ray’s nod
to the recumbent sculptures of antiquity, which also inspired Brancusi’s “Sleeping Muse.” The vulnerability of a corpulent homeless
woman asleep on a bench, head
lightly resting on a bed roll, is remarkably conveyed in solid, machined stainless steel. Gravity
pulls down on its visually buoyant
form, which seems miraculously
poised to drift on a gust of air.
An ethereal condition of suspended animation is transformed
into something dense and tangible. Carefully burnished surfaces
range between finely detailed
and loosely abstract, sometimes
shiny but mostly matte. Surfaces of
liquid light draw the luminous energy of the space around her into
the hefty sculpture’s forbidding
mass.
She’s in a deep, dead sleep. If, on
a fundamental level, traditional
sculpture represents dormant consciousness, then “Sleeping Woman” is an entire genre’s brilliant incarnation.
Last year Ray finished “School
Play,” a compact sculpture that
traces his work’s classical arc. A
pre-teen boy is in costume to perform a Roman-themed theatrical
production. Wrapped in a bedsheet toga and wearing beach sandals and a T-shirt tunic, he grasps
an elaborate toy sword in his right
hand.
Visually, the figure is encased
within a snug vertical column.

Space is as tightly wound around
him as his toga, weight evenly distributed on both feet. But Ray has
made the solid, stainless-steel boy
6 feet tall — the size of an adult. The
child becomes father of the man, a
boy disconcertingly caught betwixt and between.

Lively interplay

The tensions between childhood and maturity constitute a recurrent theme in Ray’s art. It’s the
core of “Huck and Jim,” the breathtaking new work based on Mark
Twain’s
“amazing,
troubling
book,” as novelist Toni Morrison
once described “Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn.”
Ray’s two beautifully modulated figures are 150% life size. They’re
large enough to suggest the monumental place held in the American
psyche by Twain’s deceptively simple novel about a white boy and a
runaway black slave fleeing down
the Mississippi River, yet small
enough to relate to a viewer’s own
body.
Both figures are unclothed.
(The sculpture was designed for an
outdoor plaza in front of the new
Whitney Museum of American Art
in New York, but the plan unsurprisingly fell apart over institutional nervousness about the nudity.) The 28-year-old man and the
14-year-old boy are shown in keeping with the steamy river narrative
— “We was always naked, day and
night, whenever the mosquitoes

would let us,” Huck says — enhancing a sense of sculptural candor.
Jim stands tall, head slightly
turned as if in watchful vigilance.
Huck bends over, curious and making a scooping motion near the
floor. A lively interplay of limbs,
sturdy or limp, in the sculpture’s
lower half contrasts with the focused stillness above.
Ray explains in the show’s
fine catalog that the composition
derives from a book passage about
the origin of the night sky’s twinkling stars. They’ve always been
there, Huck assumes; Jim says
no, they were laid there by the
moon.
Huck allows that Jim’s poetic
possibility could be true, since he’s
seen a single frog lay thousands of
eggs. That explains what he’s
scooping up from below.
Yet knowing this cosmic narrative isn’t necessary to be moved by
the sculpture. The transfixing moment comes in the open palm of
Jim’s right hand, which hovers just
inches above vulnerable Huck’s
bent back. It’s a gesture of reserved
protectiveness just shy of human
touch.

Twain’s book is a knotty chronicle of childhood alienation, sometimes sober, sometimes comic.
That little gap between Jim’s hand
and Huck’s back electrifies Ray’s
sculpture — a space of disconnect
between child and adult, black and
white, worldly exploration and
homey sanctuary, even the artist’s
hand and art’s prohibition against
touch. The gap may or may not
ever close.
For all of their classical regard,
Ray’s sculptures don’t look backward. His work is not Neo-Classical.
Nor does it clamor for a “return
to order” in our time of chaotic upheaval, like the one in the grim
wake of the First World War that
marked the 1920s Neo-Classical
Modernism of Picasso, De Chirico
and the New Objectivity movement. The 21st century may be
spinning off its axis, but Ray’s refined aura is absent starry-eyed
idealization.
Instead, a humanitarian resolve distinguishes his work. When
Ray quietly depicts himself as a
jeans- and loafer-clad rider on
horseback in a full-scale equestrian sculpture now installed in the
museum’s garden, he’s neither Bellerophon astride Pegasus nor
some imperial general coercing
awe. He’s just a shrewd and intuitive artist with an animal determination to feel his way through.

POP MUSIC

Christina House For The Times

“THE ORIGINAL HIGH,” the new album from Adam Lambert, finds the singer in a more introspective state of mind than in his previous work.

Dialing down on the drama
Adam Lambert looks
to shake things up by
exploring the softer edge of
songs in his latest album.
By Mikael Wood
Since finishing in second place
on “American Idol” in 2009, Adam
Lambert has established himself
as one of pop’s most reliable glamazons: a big, showy voice delivering big, dramatic songs about
big, clearly defined emotions. That
reputation only grew when he
began touring three years ago as
the frontman of Queen, filling in
for perhaps the most reliable
glamazon of them all, the late
Freddie Mercury.
Yet Lambert, 33, changes
course on his third studio album,
“The Original High,” due Tuesday.
Overseen by Swedish producers
Max Martin and Shellback, it’s
moodier and more introspective
than the Los Angeles-based singer’s earlier solo work with softeredged songs about growing up and
“searching for trust in a city of
rust.” The disc also marks Lambert’s new deal with Warner Bros.
Records after a high-profile split
from RCA, which failed to expand
his ultra-devoted core audience
with 2012’s “Trespassing.”
“There’s a difference between
being an artist and being an entertainer,” he said recently during a
frank conversation in West Hollywood. “I have both sides to my
personality. But with this music, I

was like, I don’t care if everyone’s
going to understand what I’m
singing about. It’s real to me.”
What inspired that shift?
Something I began to pick up
on within my circle of friends over
the last few years, which was this
feeling of disillusionment.
Disillusionment with what?
People don’t even know half the
time. That’s the thing — it’s like
this general haze, a feeling of not
being satisfied. You’re looking for
something, but you can’t put your
finger on what it is that’s going to
satisfy you. That was the first big
aha thing I wanted to write about.
I turned 33 this year, and I feel
like, “OK, I know who I am now;
identity isn’t so much of a challenge anymore.” The challenge is
figuring out what I want from my
life.
And from your career.
Right. Before I started thinking
about all that, my second album
came out, and I was really proud of
it, and critically it was well received. But it didn’t quite have the
life that I hoped it would have
commercially.
How did that affect you?
I was bummed out. I wanted to
release more songs to radio and
make videos and ultimately put
together a great big tour.
What happened?
A lot of things. I’m not going to
point fingers, but I think there
were some creative decisions and

some business decisions that
didn’t quite line up. But, you know,
there’s no science to this; it’s kind
of a guessing game.
My feeling is that “Trespassing”
didn’t provide a strong sense of
who you are. It was more about
style and about some of the ideas
you stand for. But what attracted
people to you on “Idol” was your
personality. “The Original High”
gets back to that.
It’s more grounded. And it’s not
trying quite as hard. I’m not saying
my previous work was too tryhard, but it was purposely heightened and stylized and theatrical.
That was intentional; that was
what I wanted to do. But then I felt
like I’d done that. I wanted to turn
a corner and go into a different
place.
And yet you made the album with
Max Martin, who’s known for his
work with Taylor Swift and Britney Spears. Nobody goes to him
for a stripped-down, singersongwriter record.
Even though his ideas are big,
and they’re tried and true in certain ways, there’s also so many
subtle, sophisticated layers —
little things he’s doing that you
have to listen a bunch of times to
hear it.
What did it mean that he wanted
to work with you?
I was thrilled. Coming off the
last project and leaving [RCA], I
had this feeling of, “Is this it for
me? Am I on my way out?” But
Max and Shellback were saying,

“We believe in you.”
And in your eagerness to show a
different side.
They knew I was ready to shake
things up, and they weren’t afraid
of anything. It’s easy to get
wrapped up in what everybody
wants you to do. But at some point
you have to go, “OK, but what do I
want?”
Can that be hard to remember?
Not now. But there have been
moments of confusion.
I can understand why. Your fans
are very vocal about what kind of
artistic decisions you should be
making.
They all have an opinion. And
that’s great — it means they’re
invested. At the same time, it’s
important for me to say, “I’m going
to do what I want to do, and I hope
you like it.” You’re not ordering
your dinner for the night. There’s
no menu.
To me that was the problem with
the most recent Queen tour. It
felt like you were fulfilling someone else’s vision.
In what way was I not being me,
though? Their catalog goes so
many different places. One minute
I’m getting to be super-campy and
over the top and flamboyant and
effeminate, and then the next
minute I’m tough and macho.
Then there’s a sensitive acoustic
moment, then something huge.
And I got to wear all the weird stuff
I’d ever want to wear. That was all
me, by the way. They let me run

with that. It might be interesting
for you to find out how much input
I had.
You didn’t feel as though you’d
been drafted to fill a prescribed
role?
No. And I wasn’t directed either. It was a collaboration.
How much room did you have
to …
Interpret the songs? That was
tricky. But I wasn’t getting a lot of
pressure from them. I wanted to
make sure I had my moments of
putting my own stamp on things.
But straying too far from the original would feel self-indulgent and
sort of sacrilegious.
See, I don’t share that view.
But you’re probably not a diehard Queen fan. I knew that in this
audience there would be a lot of
people that were there because
they love Queen. And winning
them over in the first place, not
being Freddie, was going to be
hard as it was. If I went too far, it
would’ve killed them.
In terms of a creative experience,
though, that restriction is kind of
a bummer.
I understand what you mean.
But at the same time, that’s why it
was successful. If I hadn’t found
that balance, I don’t think it
would’ve gone over the way it did
with everybody. I mean, I think
you’re in the minority of people
who didn’t like it.

ESSENTIAL TRACKS

Damaged
Bug’s odd
surrealism

RANDALL ROBERTS
POP MUSIC CRITIC

Damaged Bug
“Cold Hot Plumbs”

(Castleface)

Had the late Pink Floyd guitarist Syd Barrett lost his mind in the
data age instead of the psychedelic
’60s, he might have made a record
as curiously surreal as “Cold Hot
Plumbs,” the second album from
Los Angeles-based artist Damaged Bug.
The solo moniker of singer, guitarist and visual artist John Dwyer,
best known for being the frantic
singer-guitarist for Thee Oh Sees,

Damaged Bug’s aptly titled “Cold
Hot Plumbs” is a mess of trippedout confusion. It’s bedroom
psychedelia of the highest order,
featuring insistent beats, strange
synth squiggles and Dwyers sweet
but strange voice.

Dawn
“Running from Sane”
(Adult Swim)

Dawn Richard is still best
known for her work as a former
member of the MTV-famous quintet Danity Kane, but over the last
few years the singer has released a
series of spellbinding tracks. Using
pitch-bending technology that allows her to stretch her voice down
to a male tenor or up to her natural
female soprano, Dawn on “Running from Sane” seems to transcend gender while riding a buoyant rhythm.
The track is a free download
courtesy of Adult Swim and the
first of a series of19 tracks by19 musical innovators. New music will arrive weekly through October from
arists including Cherry Glazerr,
Yung Lean, the Chromatics, Slayer

Critics’ Choices
Around the World in 80 Days

Mark
Brown’s adroit reduction of Jules
Verne’s classic globe-trotter is a regional staple. Its buoyant Actors Coop revival reminds us why. Director
Rhonda Kohl deftly balances narrative sobriety and daft hilarity, gleaning nonstop invention from ace designers and a wonderful ensemble,
whose disciplined abandon and sheer
versatility amount to a group tour-deforce to drive this delightful confection. (D.C.N.) Actors Co-op, David
Schall Theatre, 1760 N. Gower St.,
Hollywood. Ends today, 2:30 p.m. $20$30. (323) 462-8460.

As You Like It As part of Theatricum

Botanicum’s
Americana-themed
summer repertory season, Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy is reset in
the post-Civil War Deep South, an
overlay that shrewdly amplifies
themes of land and loyalties divided;
the outdoor Topanga Canyon backdrop is an ideal fit — you can’t improve on scenic design by Nature itself. (P.B.) Will Geer’s Theatricum
Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon
Blvd., Topanga. Today, Sat., 3:30 p.m.;
ends Sept. 26. $10-$39.50; children 6
and under, free. (310) 455-3723.

The Homecoming

Director Guillermo Cienfuegos and his superb cast
nail the arcane subtexts in Harold
Pinter’s creepily brilliant play about a
womanless tribe whose atavistic
longing — and loathing — for a female
newcomer to their midst trumps all
familial considerations. (F.K.F.) Pacific Resident Theatre, 703 Venice
Blvd., Venice. Today, next Sun., 3
p.m.; Thu.-Sat., 8 p.m. $25-$34. (310)
822-8392.

I and You The L.A. premiere of Lauren

Gunderson’s latest play, directed by
Robin Larsen, could be a testimonial
to the power of intimate theater. The
story of two high school students
wrestling with a report on Walt Whitman evokes an Afterschool Special,
duly ticking off the markers of teen
angst, then abruptly opens out into a
stunning exploration of cosmic interconnectedness. (M.G.) Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Ave., L.A. Today,
next Sun., 2 p.m.; Sat., 8 p.m.; ends
June 21. $20-$34.95. (323) 663-1525.

A Permanent Image Rogue Machine
Theatre’s deftly crafted production of
this early play by Samuel D. Hunter,
an Obie Award winner as well as a 2014
recipient of the MacArthur “Genius
Grant,” boasts wonderful performances by Anne Gee Byrd, Tracie
Lockwood, Ned Mochel and Mark L.
Taylor. The play itself, in which an
adult brother and sister return to
their childhood home for their father’s funeral, is a fairly typical dysfunctional-family drama: too much liquor triggers face-offs and revelations. But the pleasure of watching
the fine cast — particularly Byrd, who
excels as a crotchety termagant —
sends this technically exceptional
production into another stratosphere. (M.G.) Rogue Machine, 5041
Pico Blvd., L.A. Today, next Sun., 7
p.m.; Mon., 8 p.m.; Sat., 5 p.m.; Sun., 7
p.m.; ends July 20. $30-$35. (855) 5855185.
Recorded in Hollywood

Matt Donnelly, Jamelle Dolphin and Andy
Cooper’s fervent, thoughtful musical
study of legendary record store Dolphin’s of Hollywood and its visionary
founder is interesting, entertaining
and frequently thrilling, perhaps the
most promising new musical the 99seat arena has produced since “The
Behavior of Broadus,” if not “Louis
and Keely: Live at the Sahara,” and
seems poised to go the full, “Jersey
Boys” meets “Memphis” commercial
distance. A rocking, relevant good
time. (D.C.N.) Hudson Mainstage
Theatre, 6539 Santa Monica Blvd.,
L.A. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; next Sun., 3
p.m.; ends July 26. $34.99. (323) 9604443.

Spring Awakening If you missed Deaf

West’s deft production of the Tonywinning musical by Duncan Sheik
and Steven Sater the first time
around, count yourself lucky that you
have an opportunity to catch it now.
Michael Arden’s stage plan stunningly employs all sorts of chiaroscuro effects to create a theatrical
world — half-modern, half-antique —
in which this musical poem, based on
Frank Wedekind’s daring 1891 play
about the societal oppression and irrepressible sexuality of teenagers, can
be lyrically reborn with actors who
sign as expressively as they sing.
(C.M.) Bram Goldsmith Theater,
Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, 9390 N. Santa Monica
Blvd., Beverly Hills. Ends today, 2 and
7 p.m. $19-$99. (310) 746-4000.

Loueke, Marcus Strickland and Ambrose Akinmusire). Late L.A. jazz

Ave., L.A. 3 p.m. Sun. $25-$185. hollywoodbowl.com.breaks.

Steve Earle

Earle came to the forefront in 1986 with the release of his debut album, “Guitar Town,” during a
brief window between the “Urban
Cowboy” craze of the early 1980s and
the arrival of Garth Brooks, Alan
Jackson, Clint Black and other socalled hat acts of the early 1990s. Earle
and others who surfaced during that
period — including Dwight Yoakam,
k.d. lang, the Mavericks, the Desert
Rose Band, among others — were
branded “New Traditionalists” for
their literate songwriting and often
unconventional thematic perspectives, usually paired with music informed by respect for country tradition. Several younger-generation performers occupy a similar space today
— Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, the Osborne Brothers — raising the question of whether there’s a
renaissance underway for a maverick
sensibility in country to counterbalance the bro-country, party-hearty
strain that’s been flourishing for the
last three or four years. (R.L.) El Rey
Theatre, 5515 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. 8
p.m. Thu. $45. theelrey.com.

Brian Wilson He has always seen the
power of music as something that
transcended mere entertainment.
For his part, Wilson just keeps looking
to what motivates him in the present.
After the Beach Boys’ 50th-anniversary reunion tour in 2013, Wilson said
he wanted to make another studio album with his former bandmates. But
Mike Love chose to return to touring
with his scaled-down configuration of
the band, forcing Wilson to go in a different direction. For “No Pier Pressure,” he instead opted to work with
new faces who have been making
waves on the pop charts of late, including Kacey Musgraves, She &
Him’s Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward,
Nate Ruess of fun. and others. (R.L.)

Phyllis Green: Walking the Walk Sin-

cerity and levity collide in Green’s appealing show. The L.A. sculptor creates elegant, labor-saving ways for
disciples to carry firewood as an offering to a guru, as per instructions in
the Upanishad. On the road to enlightenment, why not look your best,
after all? (L.O.). LAM Gallery, 913 N.

a.m.-6 p.m.; ends Sat. (323) 498-5977.

Kahlil Joseph

“m.A.A.d.” is 15 minutes of visual verse condensed from
more than seven hours of video footage. Joseph burrows inside the
rhythms of a place to describe it with
amplitude and tenderness. The concentrated result is a mesmerizing hiphop tone-poem, heartfelt and deeply
moving (C.K.). Museum of Contemporary Art, 250 S. Grand Ave., L.A.
Mon. 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thu. 11 a.m.-8

Austin Irving: Not An Exit

The nine
large color photographs in this absorbing show read as existential
propositions as much as visual documents. Each is shot looking into a
hallway or passageway, but they recede into what seem like dead ends,
suffocating cul-de-sacs of glaring banality (L.O.). Wilding Cran Gallery,
939 S. Santa Fe Ave., L.A. Tue.-Fri. 11

The Future Is Not What It Used to Be

If ants had cameras — as well as helicopters, drones

Andre D. Wagner: Tell It Like It Is

Wagner is a young photographer with
an old soul. He shoots black-andwhite film, prints his own pictures,
and practices a quiet, lyrical kind of
humanism that comes straight out of
the traditions of mid-20th-century
street photography and the social
documentary photo essay (L.O.). Papillion Art, 4336 Degnan Blvd., L.A.

Chris Burden: Ode to Santos Dumont

In the 1970s, Burden’s radical performance art courted danger and
grappled with violence. The artist’s
remarkable final sculpture performs a

death and destruction (C.K.). Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 5905

Aries (March 21-April 19):
What is your source of peace?
It may be a place or a person
or an idea. Carry it with you
today as a touchstone.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
The reason you belong to the
group is that you know the
group’s main purpose, and
you take that purpose as a
verb.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
Theories and opinions are
easy enough to come by, but
you need practical solutions
to real-life problems, and
nothing else will do.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Today you’re striving to
achieve your piece de resistance. You won’t get there in a
day, but still there’s something special about the progress you’ll make in the next
24 hours.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The
more specific you get about
what can be done to create
the desired result the more
effective you’ll be.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
It would be lovely if life did
not give you inconveniences.
But you see them as stimulating challenges or, at the
worst, hassles — but definitely not tragedies.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
You’ll be excited by the prospect of creating something
beautiful that has the potential to make another person
happy. Start with delighting
yourself.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
Sometimes learning is fun,
but half of learning is getting
used to frustration and not
accepting it as a legitimate
reason to give up.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): In times of fear, the human tendency is to overestimate the risk. Often the risk
isn’t as severe as one might
think.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Travel light. This principle will help you in all ways.
What do you really need anyway? Take that and only
that.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Even though life is chockfull of second chances, they
seldom happen the same
way twice. When today’s opportunity arises, grab it and
hang on.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March
20): A memory is not a story.
It needs to be recalled and
then molded and edited and
told and retold before it becomes a worthy part of your
background.
Today’s birthday (June
14): In romance, well done is
always better than well said,
and that’s exactly why your
love life is so wonderful this
year. You make the effort,
and the other person will too.
Pursue new systems to manage work and life in July.
You’ll be ready for an August
advancement. Your lucky
numbers are: 40, 2, 22, 14 and
16.

By Bill Cornwall

Dear Amy: My boyfriend/fiance and my mother do not
get along. He says that because we have had many issues within our relationship,
he doesn’t feel right about introducing my parents to his
parents.
My boyfriend and I have
been together off and on for
six years. Our relationship
has been good for the past six
months.
How can I make him
understand that it’s important to me that he builds a relationship with my mother
and that our parents build a
relationship
with
each
other?
Is it wrong of me to ask
this of him if he is not ready?
Ms. Confused
Dear Ms. Confused: You

can ask anything at all of
your boyfriend-slash-fiance.
However, you can’t make
him create or repair a relationship if he doesn’t want to.
I’m not sure why you are
pushing him to have both
sets of parents meet. You
don’t provide any reason for
your urgency surrounding
this.
Repairing a relationship
with your mother is more important, if you and he are going to stay together. However, given the up-and-down
nature of your relationship,
he may not see your relationship as lasting long enough
to make this reconciliation
necessary.

Induce opponents’ mistakes
Since the World Series of
Poker is underway, I want to
share a hand from last year’s
WSOP $1,500-buy-in Monster Stack event. This tournament is different from
other $1,500 events in that every player starts with an
overly deep stack (15,000).
This hand was just the third
of the day.
With blinds at 100-200, a
player who appeared to be in
his 30s raised to 525 from
middle position. Everyone
folded around to me, and I
called from the big blind with
4♣ 3♣.
Calling and folding were
both fine options in that
spot. I suggest that you learn
to profitably call in such
situations, because being
able to continue with a wide
range of hands will make you
much more difficult to play
against as opposed to if you
play only strong hands. If you
constantly keep your opponents guessing, they’ll make
mistakes. If they usually
know where you stand,
they’ll play well.
The flop came A♣ J♣ 4♦,
giving me bottom pair and a
weak flush draw. I checked to
my opponent, as I tend to do
with all of my hands, and my
opponent bet 700 into the
1,150 pot. I check-raised to
1,700.

If the stacks had been either shallower or deeper, I
likely would have called. If
the stacks were shorter, my
opponent easily could have
gone all in, forcing me to
make a decision for my tournament life with a hand that
would win roughly half the
time. (In general, good players want to avoid coin-flip
scenarios.) If the stacks were
deeper, my opponent could
call and play well after the
flop. With these stack sizes,
going all in would be a huge
overbet for my opponent.
And if he called, it would allow me to put significant
pressure on him on the turn
by betting again.
My opponent surprised
me by reraising to 5,000, leaving only 9,475 in his stack.
I was fairly confident that
my opponent liked his hand.
However, I thought that he
could like a hand such as A-K
but still be willing to fold if I
reraised all in.
I recognized that countless players had traveled a

great distance to play this
event and would certainly
not want to bust out on the
third hand of the day. I didn’t
especially care if I busted out,
because this event was one of
many that I would play
throughout the series. For a
professional, no individual
event is emotionally significant. This gave me the courage to go all in. While attempting to bluff someone off
what’s likely a strong hand is
rarely a good idea, occasionally it makes perfect sense.
My opponent looked disgusted. He asked me a few
questions, trying to get a
read, but of course I didn’t reply. He thought for about
three minutes before folding
A-J face up. He told me that
he knew I’d been lucky to flop
a set and that no one else at
the table would have been
able to make such a great
fold. (Don’t be one of those
players who think they always make the right play.)
If I had thought my opponent had an effectively unfoldable hand like top two
pair, I certainly wouldn’t
have tried this semi-bluff.
When your opponents are
looking for a reason to make
a big fold, don’t be afraid to
get out of line and induce
them to make a huge mistake.

THEN: Over the years,
many reports have been
made of players who increased
their
winning
chances by resorting to
cheating. These unscrupulous competitors have a long
and creative track record.
Chessmen have been added
to (or subtracted from) the
boards. Moves have been secretly retracted. Clock times
have been favorably adjusted. Pawns have been
moved backward. Positions
have been sneakily altered.
Disturbing behaviors have
been used to distract or upset the opponent. Cohorts,
often coaches and talented
friends, have set up signaling
systems or secret meeting
places to exchange game-related information.
Some of these stories,
contemptible as they might
be, are rather humorous. For
instance, there is an account
of one disreputable knave in
the 1800s who got away with
castling using a rook that he
purloined from the game being played right next to him.
Apparently, none of the
other players in either of the
two games noticed when it
occurred. Once at a predominately male U.S. Open,
I could not help but observe
that one attractive female
competitor was inappropriately wearing a daringly
high-cut miniskirt and an
eye-poppingly low blouse.
When confronted about her
manner of dress being distractive, she brazenly replied, “Well, yes. Now that’s
the idea, isn’t it?”
At one National Open,
player A’s focus was im-

paired by his adversary’s surreptitious kicking of A’s legs
under the table. Afterward, a
near-fight ensued over the
under-table leg space allotment.
NOW: In modern times,
cheating has advanced to its
highest level. By accessing
super-powerful playing computers using electronic devices, it is possible for dishonest players to defeat
GMs and win big events. The
French Chess Federation
once suspended three members of its own team after determining that they had
cheated during a Chess
Olympiad. Hundreds of
chess-related cellphone text
messages were discovered.
During this year’s Dubai
Open, Gaioz Nigalidze, a GM
who has produced a string of
unexpected major tournament victories, was detected
cheating. He had been making many suspiciously timed

they often don’t — consumers who arrive at the hotels
may not have the amenities
they requested or, worse, necessities such as a handicapped-accessible facilities.
And, most critically, their
payment details may have

The FTC could not provide me with information on
what steps it might take to

your personal information.”
These phony sites are especially hard to detect on mobile devices, whether smartphone or tablet, on which the
type tends to be smaller or
harder to read. Thus you may
not notice that there’s something fishy about the URL,
which may include another
name along with the legitimate hotel name.
That’s alarming because
mobile represents about a
quarter of travel bookings,
said Umar Riaz, managing
director of the hospitality
and travel services practice
at Accenture, a management
consulting firm.
One saving grace, Riaz
said: You’re more apt to use a
legitimate app on mobile.
Even if you’re among the
people who use a PC or desktop to book travel, you may
not be accustomed to looking
at sites closely. Here are some
clues that the site is a scam:
Spelling, punctuation or
grammatical errors.
Missing a “lock” in the
left side of the address bar.
“Ensure that the website you
are visiting supports ‘https’
when booking hotels, shopping or entering any type of
personal information,” said
Ondrej Krehel, chief technical officer and founder of LIFARS, a cybersecurity intelligence firm based in New York
City. You’ll know you are connected by https if you see a
lock in the URL bar of your
Web browser.
Unfamiliarity. You don’t
recognize the site or you
haven’t done business with it.
About 30% of users will use a
search engine asking for “hotels in San Francisco,” for instance. That can be dangerous, Riaz said, because it
opens you up to a fake site.
Better to go through an established hotel site such as
www.marriott.com or use an
online travel agency such as
Expedia or Travelocity, or an
aggregator such as Kayak or
Hotels.com.
Too good to be true. Be
especially wary if the fabulous offer arrives in your
email. If you’re offered the
Four Seasons Maui for $200 a
night, hit delete. (I checked
random dates in July for that
property in Wailea and it

starts at $639 a night, its forreal website said.)
Also be afraid if the email
uses an odd salutation. (I just
found an email in my spam
folder that begins, “Good day
to you.” Besides the fact that
no one talks that way anymore, it also was purportedly
from Jack Lew, who wants to
send me $10 million. He probably has more important
things to do in running the
Treasury Department than
to notify me of this inheritance.)
A button that gives you a
phone number (or, on mobile,
connects you) to the “hotel.”
If you decide to call, ascertain
whether it’s legitimate by
asking lots of questions. For
instance, how many rooms
does the hotel have? How far
is it from the airport? What
shopping is nearby — ask
for names of retailers. What
are some restaurants not in
the hotel?
If the person falters, hang
up. Use a legitimate telephone number-finding website (I like WhitePages.com,
which has a business category) and call that number and
ask the same questions.
Booking by phone is increasingly uncommon, in part because you may miss legitimate specials, so be sure to
ask about Internet rates and
then get the real URL.
If all of this has made you
queasy, try a travel agent. We
have become used to doing it
ourselves, but an agent generally isn’t going to fall for a
fake website. And an agent
may be able to get you extra
value — a room upgrade or a
free breakfast. (That’s not too
good to be true; that’s just
good business.)
Finally, trust your intuition. Cope, of the hotel association, said that many people
who were taken in by fake
sites thought something was
off but ignored that nagging
voice in their head. But in this
case, pay attention. The price
of failing to do so may be
much more expensive than a
hotel room.

HomeAway listings

There’s no fault in San Andreas, just plenty of fascinating history
BY MIKE MORRIS >>> San Andreas, the slow-paced town southeast of Sacramento, might share a name
with the recent blockbuster “San Andreas,” but don’t expect any earthquakes here. Instead, you’ll find a small
historic district, charming Turner Park and an old courtroom and jail cell that once held “poet bandit” Black
Bart. San Andreas was actually settled by gold miners from Mexico in 1848, and both the town and its first
church were named after St. Andrew, or San Andrés in Spanish. The town is not related to the San Andreas
fault, so it’s not uncommon to see cars in town with bumper stickers reading, “San Andreas: It’s not our fault.”
The tab: about $500 for two for the weekend ($300 for the hotel and $200 for food and admission fees).

The bed
After exploring San Andreas, venture to nearby Angels
Camp — home of Mark Twain’s
famous jumping frog story. This
other City of Angels features
several hotels, more options for
dining and a larger historic
Main Street. On the northern
end of Angels Camp — and only
about 10 miles south of San
Andreas — is a Travelodge (600
N. Main St.; [209] 736-4242,
www.travelodge.com), where
an average weekend night costs
$139, including breakfast. A
variety of accommodations can
also be found at www.gocala
veras.com.

Van Gogh shows

In San Andreas locals rave
about the artisanal sandwiches
and salads at the Pickle Patch
(577 W. St. Charles St.; [209]
754-1978, www.picklepatch
deli.com), but it’s open only on
weekdays. At the other end of
town, Country Cliff ’s (345 E. St.
Charles St.; [209] 754-1365)
serves breakfast, lunch and
dinner daily. For lunch, I got fish
and chips with homemade
tartar sauce for $7. The restaurant is in a convenient location,
has a friendly staff and a downhome style.

Museums in western Massachusetts, New York City and Pittsburgh will join European counterparts in marking the125th anniversary of Vincent van Gogh’s death.
The most important of the three
U.S. exhibitions is “Van Gogh and
Nature” at the Clark Art Institute
in Williamstown, Mass., which is
to open Sunday and continue
through Sept. 13. Info: www.lat
.ms/1I2ZzHZ. Through Aug. 16, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York is showing four Van Gogh
paintings — two of irises, two of
roses — done shortly before his
death in 1890. Info: www.lat
.ms/1Gu17y7. The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh has a small
show through July 6 featuring
three Van Gogh works, including
his 1887 “Still Life, Basket of Apples.” Info: www.lat.ms/1dy3lRI.

The find

San Andreas, the Calaveras
County seat, is rich in history.
The Calaveras County Historical Museum Complex (30 N.
Main St.; [209] 754-1058,
www.calaverascohistorical
.com) houses various exhibits,
including the jail cell in which
Black Bart was held while
awaiting trial. Also known as
the “gentleman bandit,” Black
Bart never harmed drivers or
passengers and left behind bits
of poetry when he robbed stagecoaches. In 1883 he was sentenced to six years in prison in
the upstairs courtroom at the
complex, which is open 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. daily. Admission is $3
for adults, $2 for seniors 60 and
older and $1 for children 12 and
younger.

A way to give back
Carnival Corp. has introduced a
new cruise called Fathom, which
will take passengers to destinations where they can visit and do
volunteer community work. The
point is to give travelers “authentic, meaningful impact travel experiences [and] to work alongside locals as they tackle community
needs,” a Carnival statement says.
Fathom will begin with weeklong
cruises to the Dominican Republic
starting in April. Passengers spend
a few days at sea to prepare for and
choose what they want to work on,
such as helping tend cacao plants
at a nursery run by a women’s coop or working in schools with local
teachers. There will be time to walk
the beaches and visit the new
Amber Cove marketplace and
cruise center. Prices start at $1,540

If you’re a fan of vacation rentals, here’s some good news: By the
end of the year, searches in Kayak,
a travel aggregator, will include
about 200,000 HomeAway listings.
HomeAway listings include apartments, condos, cottages, homes,
studios, villas and even yachts. The
Kayak partnership means that
travelers will be able to compare
the cost of hotels side by side with,
say, the cost of homes or apartments. HomeAway is aiming to
capture at least some of the estimated 65% of travelers who don’t
consider a vacation rental when
planning their trip. The listings on
Kayak will be similar to hotel listings and will send users to the
HomeAway website to complete
the transaction.

WELLNE S S TRAVEL

The full-body treatment

BY VALLI HERMAN >>> Vacations that boost your physical and mental well-being with a novel combination of adventure experiences, fitness training, no-guilt gourmet meals and stress-busting classes are finding favor with travelers who want to return home better than they left. ¶ But wellness can be hard to define, and it may combine several
elements. Here’s a guide to what it usually isn’t — and what it often is.

a focus of programs at
Westin and other hotels.

Feeling
better is
the goal

[Wellness, from L1]
ness travel?
Wellness tourism encompasses hospitality, health,
beauty, medicine and fitness.
It is travel intended to integrate healthful habits into
the trip in both small ways —
organic snacks in the minibar
— and big, such as new hotel
brands created to sustain or
improve exercise routines,
diets and even sleep.
Four out of five wellness
tourists integrate healthful
activities and habits into
their trips to counteract interrupted routines that affect sleep, diet and exercise.
One in five takes trips with
the intention of making some
form of health and wellness
the goal of the trip, said Beth
McGroarty, research director
at the Global Wellness.
“Vacation time has become precious, and people
can’t afford to feel more stressed, sicker and tired from
them,” McGroarty said.
“Now you use the vacation to
make yourself feel better.”

Go online for more photos of
the wellness trend’s hotspots.

The Fairmont Scottsdale
Princess in Arizona, for instance, offers a Well & Being
program with packages for
improving sleep and executive health that can include
acupuncture,
massage,
counseling on nutrition and
using breathing for stress reduction.
The resort is also adding
a So Sound Acoustic Resonance Room that is said to
help reduce guests’ chronic
stress, fatigue and pain by
using an ergonomic lounge
chair that incorporates
sound and vibration to create a “musical massage” that
aids relaxation and sensory
integration.

“Any time I would look
into any kind of retreat kind
of thing, it looked like fat
camp,” said Eric Leib, 39,
who did a four-day health
and fitness retreat at VeraVia, a comprehensive luxury
wellness program at the
Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in
Carlsbad.
Unlike a spa getaway, it included medical evaluations,
nutrition and behavioral
counseling and individual
physical training. Each program is customized to help
clients achieve specific goals,
often involving weight loss,
executive health, stress management or a particular
medical issue.

It is not just: taking a week
off and doing things that are
good for you, then returning
to your old life.
It is often: a learning vacation that enhances what you
already do or leads to
change.

It is not just: extreme athletes seeking exotic adventures.
It is often: for participants
who are already physically
fit.
“I went rock climbing and
mountain biking and all
these things that I love to
do,” Leib said.
The Four Seasons in Vail,
Colo., has had success with
wellness packages that take
guests on hearty mountain
hikes with llamas, fly-fishing
or river rafting, said general
manager Mark Herron.
His guests may already be
physically fit but lack the opportunity — and the requisite pampering pre- and
post-adventure — to partake
of adventurous pursuits.
“It’s about taking care of
themselves
and
feeling
good,” Herron said. Many
trips are positioned as motivational rewards for families
to maintain fitness the rest of
the year. “This is the one ex-

Could wellness vacations
be the latest status symbol?
Perhaps. More than 60%
of travelers considered a balanced sense of well-being a
status symbol of success, an
international survey by Westin Hotels & Resorts found.
Some of the activities offered by resorts — oceanfront boot camp, yoga with
celebrity trainers, exotic
hikes — will have you working
up a sweat, but the exertion is
often buffered by deluxe accommodations and service.
Wellness retreats are
often based at full-service hotels that partner with experts
and customize services to
suit their upscale clientele.
Westin, for instance, has
named personal trainer
Chris Heuisler as its national
running concierge. He advises the company on runners’
specific needs as well as leads
runs at hotel properties or
events, where he shares race
strategy and fitness tips.
Westin’s new Wellness Escapes are an ongoing series of

retreats to inspire and teach
participants about fitness,
mindfulness, nutrition and
more through activities,
seminars and workshops.
The company launched the
series with a women’s
strength-training weekend
and continues with three-day
running workshops.
As hotels and tourism
companies discover that frequent and occasional travelers alike want more than a
change of scene, they’re also
rethinking the purpose and
design of a hotel.
Earlier this year, Even, an
InterContinental
Hotels
Group brand centered on
wellness, debuted in Norwalk, Conn.
Its relatively inexpensive
guest rooms ($160 to $190 a
night) have built-in minigyms with cork flooring, a
balance ball, resistance
bands, a sit-down and a
stand-up desk, ergonomic
task chair and a yoga mat.
But, like any status symbol, these wellness vacations
aren’t inexpensive.

Mountain Trek in British Columbia is $4,500. The all-inclusive programs at VeraVia
in Carlsbad start at $3,850 for
the four-day express option.
Booking a wellness retreat is a highly personal,
often research-intensive pursuit. Many resemble camp for
grown-ups — all-inclusive experiences designed to enhance a skill such as skiing or
yoga, attain a personal goal
such as summiting a mountain peak or recover from exhausting lives with nature
hikes, clean food and lots of
professional advice.

match theirs, or else you may

you only want to kick caffeine.
Price isn’t necessarily a

for programs led by wellknown experts, partnerships
with recognized institutions
and follow-up components
that can help you sustain new
regimens. And if change is
what you seek, not just relaxation, be prepared to work
hard for it.

Wellness tourism is booming, and healthful food options, better gyms and results-oriented spas are now
de rigueur.
But an array of hotels and
resorts is taking the wellness
concept even further by adding customizable, health-focused packages and services,
often partnering with experts to create programs
that inspire and challenge
travelers.
Here are some that add
adventure to itineraries or offer programs that adjust
your diet, reduce stress, improve your physique or hone
your running technique.

By Amanda Jones
WALLAND, Tenn. —
Blackberry Farm sits on the
border of Great Smoky
Mountains National Park,
the most visited in the national park system.
Outside the park’s boundaries you’ll find towns with
the attendant attractions —
the Ripley’s Believe It or Not
museum in Gatlinburg or the
Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge.
But Blackberry Farm, set
on 4,200 acres of working
farmland, is a shelter from
that commercial storm. Its
estate rooms, cottages, guest
suites and luxury houses are
spread across the property,
and each room comes with a
golf cart that guests can use
to navigate the grounds.
In February, a friend and I
stayed in the two-mastersuite Singing Brook Cottage,
which was spacious and
decorated with a Provencemeets-Manhattan sensibility
(armchairs, linen throw pillows and vintage photos).
We had just spent four
days in Nashville listening to
music, eating fried food and
seeing friends. Now it was
time to atone for our sins, eat
healthful food and exercise,
so we drove the three hours to
Blackberry. (Knoxville is
much closer to the farm —
about a 25-minute drive.)
Wellness is emphasized at
Blackberry Farm, which is
why people return year after
year to recalibrate themselves with spa, gym and outdoor activities such as flyfishing, horseback riding and
biking.
Besides yoga and meditation classes, you can find spa
treatments, including a
Cherokee-style two-handed
massage and an apple stemcell age-defying facial.
The Deep Healing Woods
program is based on studies
from Japan that show that

THE BLACKBERRY FARM stables have horses

available for many types of riding at all skill levels.
“forest bathing,” or spending
time among trees, accelerates healing, increases mental focus and fights stress.
That part might not surprise you, but this might:
Forest trees are said give off
phytoncides, or scents, that
increase the good immune
cells in our bodies that kill off
the bad, cancer-causing
cells. Blackberry Farm will
take you deep into untouched woods to meditate,
do yoga and hike.

If you are curious about
the science behind some of
these activities, the Wellhouse, Blackberry Farm’s
wellness center, offers Lifestyle Lectures, which explain
why the woods are good for
you or the theory behind aromatherapy or why you
should juice.
Blackberry Farm is considered a gastronomic destination within culinary circles. The food is what owner
Sam Beall calls “foothills cui-

sine.” That means farmgrown ingredients, a soupçon of Appalachian tradition
(okra, red peas, chickweed
and lots of pork products)
coupled with the hefty influence of global fine dining.
Blackberry Farm sources
most of its ingredients locally, much of it grown just
feet from its kitchen. It also
produces cheeses, preserves,
charcuterie, honey and chocolate, and it butchers its own
meats.

Fine dining takes place in
the Barn (a James Beard
Award winner), and more
casual fare at the Dogwood,
in the main house. I chose the
Barn, literally a huge, stylishly renovated barn for our
first night of what I would call
stylish comfort food.
For aficionados, Blackberry Farm hosts cooking
schools
and
epicurean
events with guest celebrity
chefs such as Alain Ducasse.
There are also daily cooking
demonstrations, where a
chef or “food artisan” — the
cheese maker, the preservationist (pickles and jams, not
art) or the butcher prepares
a three-course midday meal.
I’m not much of a foodie,
so I headed to the Wellhouse
for a private TRX class,
something I had always
wanted to try (TRX is a
workout using hanging
straps invented by a Navy
SEAL, but I needed instruction to save embarrassment
and injury).
I followed this exhausting
but fruitful exercise with an
indulgent Healing Herbs &
Flowers massage. My TRXclenched muscles were slowly released and then treated
with heated herbal poultices.
We reluctantly left Blackberry Farm, but decided that
for our mental and physical
well-being we ought to return
here annually.

A caution
on Yucatán
Your Yucatán articles
were fine, but any travel
there should come with a
warning [“Sweet Spots” by
Jody Jaffe, May 31].
A few years ago I took my
wife and kids to the Yucatán
and traveled all over that
peninsula on our own for
about a month. (The Travel
section should have mentioned the famous and
incredibly tasty sausages of
Valladolid.)
As we were driving
through downtown Mérida,
the police pulled us over.
They searched our car for
drugs (there weren’t any),
then detained us while
trying to drum up some
other bogus charge. One of
them told me all our troubles would go away if I’d just
allow them (there were four
officers) to rape my wife. I
pretended not to understand.
We eventually got out of
this terrifying situation, but
as you can imagine, it put a
damper on our vacation.
Mexico needs to make a
lot of changes before we’ll go
back — and it used to be our
favorite country to visit.

Vegas animals
I find it offensive that
Avital Andrews is promoting venues that are tantamount to prisons as good
places to take a baby while
visiting Las Vegas [“Stroller-friendly Vegas,” May 31].
Dolphins and sharks in
Vegas? Talk about a fish out
of water. What kind of learning experience is this for a
child? Tigers in a casino?
Really?
Las Vegas is the most
unnatural environment for
almost every living species,
humans included.
Here’s a suggestion:

Read to your child. Play
with your child. Teach your
child to swim.
Note to families visiting
Las Vegas: If you can’t find
suitable and non-exploitative entertainment for you
and your children, perhaps
this is a sign that you should
stay home.

to a three-day getaway at
the newly remodeled Laguna Beach House, formerly the Laguna Cliffs Inn.
The boutique hotel is absolutely charming, decorated
in a surfer-chic style. The 36

surrounding a heated pool,
carry the same theme. The
hotel is dog-friendly too and
allows them to stay at no

Lively cemetery
The Travel section
missed the finest cemetery
in the country — GreenWood in Brooklyn, N.Y.
(www.green-wood.com). It
is a National Historic Landmark. Many famous people
are buried there.
Green-Wood is a living
cemetery, not just one to
wander around in search of
tombstones.
It includes architecture,
statues and Tiffany glass
windows. It is also an arboretum and bird sanctuary.
Tram rides, lectures and
other events during the year
are conducted.
As a genealogy addict, I
can attest to this being a
well-cared-for and cherished place.

On a May hike in Yosemite National Park, Adam Jenkins used a tripod and his camera’s self-timer feature to photograph himself at
Crocker Point, elevation 7,100 feet, which overlooks the Yosemite Valley. “Even in often crowded Yosemite, a short hike can bring you solitude and natural beauty found nowhere else,” he said. The North Hollywood resident took this photo with a Nikon D50.

BY BOOTH MOORE FASHION CRITIC >>> Despite appearing in “House of Cards,” “127 Hours,” “Brokeback Mountain” and dozens of other screen roles over the last 15 years, Kate Mara has always been an actress you don’t quite
recognize. ¶ But with star billing as the Invisible Woman in the superhero film “Fantastic Four” (Aug. 7), she’s
poised to become more visible than ever. ¶ Before that, Mara, 32, will receive this year’s Women in Film Max Mara
Face of the Future Award at the Crystal + Lucy Awards in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Women in Film has been honoring women in the industry since 1977, with Italian fashion brand Max Mara as a partner for 13 years. ¶ Dressing
the part is Mara’s job. On the red carpet, she and stylist Johnny Wujek gravitate toward classic pieces, but in real life,
she calls her style tomboyish. She’s as comfortable in Zara as Chanel. ¶ Over the years, she has attended events with
Valentino and Miu Miu, and styled store windows for H&M. In February, she traveled to Milan, Italy, for the Max
Mara fall 2015 fashion show and a photo shoot for the brand’s magazine. ¶ I caught up with her on the phone from
Belfast, Northern Ireland — where she is shooting the sci-fi thriller “Morgan” — to talk about matters of style.
Do you have a first fashion memory or something you were really into wearing as a child?
I was very shy in middle school through high
school. I dressed to disappear. That’s also a
reason why acting was so exciting. I was more
comfortable putting on a costume and pretending I was someone else than showing who I
actually was. So I flew under the radar and
wasn’t into wearing anything too loud. I had
very long hair, and I didn’t even want that to be
showy, so I would wear it in a ponytail every day.
That was a uniform to me, to not wear my hair
down. But obviously, that changed. Once I
graduated high school and realized you have to
be more comfortable in your own skin to be an
actor and to be vulnerable and put yourself out
there and show that you can look like different
characters. I realized that fashion is an incredible tool. And now I love it.

Alberto Rodriguez Getty Images

“I love that [Cushnie et
Ochs] look. Johnny [Wujek] and I saw that and
thought, ‘That looks like
a superhero cape. We
have to wear that.’ It was
our coming out for the
‘Fantastic Four,’ so we
thought it was appropriate.”

I know you went to the fall 2015 Max Mara
runway show. What do you like about the label?
It’s such a classic, feminine brand … but they
are also doing a good job of evolving. The show
was super. I know it was a throwback and Marilyn Monroe-inspired, but it also felt very current
and young. I was so in love with the colors,
which were a lot of pastels, but also this eggshell
gray that I wore to the show. And the mix of
super-feminine pencil skirts with flat oxfords
and backpacks was the masculine-feminine
thing, which I’m super attracted to.
How would you describe your personal style?
It depends on where I am in the world. I live
in L.A., so typically it is really hot, and I will just
put on a sundress and some sneakers because
that’s the most comfortable thing to wear. That

said, I tend to be a little bit of a tomboy, so I do
that thing where I go back and forth between
dressing feminine with a little bit of a male edge.
But right now, in Belfast, I’m literally wearing all
black every day to work. It’s that sweatpants
look that isn’t actually sweatpants. And a hoodie. And I’m fully comfortable owning that.
Have you and your sister [actress Rooney
Mara] ever bought the same thing?
A few times. I forget we don’t live in the same
house, and my initial reaction is the older sister
thing of, “Did you take that from my closet?”
But we do like similar things.

From the promo shots, it looks like a lot of
leather.
You’ve probably seen our containment suits.
They’re not leather. I don’t know what it’s
called, but it’s very stretchy and thicker than
spandex. The only annoying thing was that to
go to the restroom, you needed help, because
there were three zippers just to make it look like
there were none. But it was actually a very comfortable suit and you didn’t have to wear any
sort of Spanx underneath.

You’ve been working with stylist Johnny Wujek for 10 years. What do you two consider
when dressing for a red carpet event?
It depends. Usually he’ll say, “What are you
in the mood for?” If I’m feeling particularly
girlie, he will say, “Let’s go and see what Valentino has or let’s see what Dior has,” since those
are more feminine looks. If I’m feeling more
edgy, maybe it’s Prada. Or sometimes we think
about a theme we want to do for a press tour to
make it more fun. And he always knows white is
my favorite color to wear.

You’ve done work for the Humane Society and
Oceana. How did you become involved in
those causes?
It all started with the 2013 documentary
“Blackfish” [about killer whales in captivity]. I
was shooting a movie and [“Blackfish”] was on
CNN and I watched it and was so moved that I
was hunting down the director’s email immediately.
I thought about what I could do to help. So I
reached out to a T-shirt designer friend of mine
named Dana Veraldi, who has a line called
DeerDana based in New York. She draws these
awesome caricatures of people, animals and
things like that. I thought maybe she’d be interested in designing one of Tilly, the whale from
“Blackfish” and giving the money to some sort
of nonprofit. That’s where it started. She designed the “Free Tilly” shirt, and I was connected to Oceana through Ted Danson, who is a
friend and does a lot of work with that organization. Since then, I’ve become friends with Gabriela Cowperthwaite, the film’s director, and
she introduced me to the Humane Society. But
it all started with “Blackfish.”

How were the Invisible Woman costumes?

[email protected]

What do you think about people dissecting
your style online?
I don’t go seeking it out but if you’re on Twitter, it’s hard to avoid. I’ve been doing this long
enough I don’t let it affect me that much. But of
course, I’m human. If people are loving something you are wearing, you are going to feel good
about it. And if they hate it, it’s going to make
you feel, uh-oh.

{ SHOP PING }

West meets East on La Brea Ave.
American Rag opens a
shop-in-shop that features
the work of nine Chinese
fashion designers.
BOOTH MOORE
FASHION CRITIC

3 1 9 N O R T H R O D E O D R I V E B E V E R LY H I L L S

“Made in China” has a whole
new meaning thanks to L.A.’s
American Rag Cie boutique, which
has curated a shop-in-shop of contemporary Chinese fashion at its
La Brea Avenue location.
American Rag owner Mark
Werts got the idea for the fashion
exchange while he was in China
shopping for labels for the new
6,500-square-foot American Rag
store opening in Shanghai in July.
“This was a logical progression,” he said at an opening event
in May for the shop-in-shop. “I kept
saying, ‘This we could sell in America.’ ‘This we could sell in America.’
‘This we could sell in America.’ …
At the same time, our Chinese
partner told us that if these things
are sold in America, they would be
more valuable for the Chinese customer.”
The work of nine designers is
featured in the shop-in-shop, all of
it cool enough to sit with American
Rag’s international roster of contemporary and streetwear brands
and its hand-selected vintage pieces. The endeavor has something interesting to say about how China is
so much more than the world’s
largest luxury market.
“It’s an opportunity for people
in the U.S. to see what kids in China
are buying right now,” says American Rag buyer Caleb Lin, who goes
back to Asia every few months for
buying trips.
Designer Chi Zhang’s street
and sport jersey-inspired print
sweatshirts are emblazoned with
the words “Made in China” in an effort to turn the association on its
head, Lin says. “His motto is, ‘fix air
pollution,’ ” Lin says, pointing out
the Chinese characters on a sleeveless jersey. “He even sells gas
masks at his boutiques because
the air is so bad there.”
Men’s wear label Taciturnli, designed by Yunze Li, uses made-inNorth Carolina Cone Mills denim
to create worker jackets ($310) patterned after vintage Lee styles.

A CHINESE MOTIF acts as the backdrop for clothing and accessories by contemporary Chinese labels at the American Rag store.

(Yes, you read that right: U.S.made denim, going round-trip to
China.) “He’s emblematic of a new
generation interested in vintage,
and the details of fabrication and
heritage,” Lin explains. “He
opened a shop on the back side of
Tiananmen Square, and there is

this one alley there that is probably
the coolest place for young people
in Beijing, where they have singleorigin coffee, vintage shops and a
Taiwanese bookstore that has Kinfolk magazine and Moleskine notebooks … things you don’t find in
China.”
Meanwhile, Mobius Studio’s
knitted raccoon hair sweater
dresses (sounds icky, feels like
cashmere) with extra-long sleeves
have an avant-garde spirit reflective of the maturing Chinese fashion scene. And Vintage Republic’s
indigo twill shorts with Chinese
characters on the waist combines
the heritages of Chinese and
American work wear.
Werts is married to Hong Kongborn designer Amanda Shi, whose
label is also represented, including
a luxe black silk and lace moto
jacket ($687) based on a classic

American Schott biker style, only
with tulle flower appliques.
“Between the 1940s and 1980s,
China didn’t have fashion. And it
certainly didn’t have any American
fashion during that time, so every
single one of my pieces has some
kind of American heritage,” says
the designer, who moved to the
U.S. when she was 24.
American Rag, which also operates a store in Newport Beach, has
long had eyes on the East. With a
Japanese partner, Werts has 19
stores in that market.
The shop-in-shop in L.A., which
will continue indefinitely, comes at
a time when the fashion spotlight is
on China, in part because of
“China: Through the Looking
Glass,” the exhibition recently
opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in
New York City.

The shop’s opening event attracted an eclectic crowd, including China’s vice consul, Feng
Deheng, based in L.A., and Chinese
fashion blogger Lady Liaoliao,
who traveled here for the opening.
Wearing a bleached blond bob
hairstyle and round, wire John
Lennon-style sunglasses, Lady
Liaoliao
seemed
impressed
enough with the offerings at the
L.A. store, but what she’s really
looking forward to is American
Rag’s opening in Shanghai and its
promise to bring stylish vintage apparel to the scene there.
“The culture of vintage is starting to boom in China,” she said.
“People are not considering vintage secondhand any longer, but
valuable. And average people can
afford it.”

Dad missed
a shaving spot

Set aside the razor and head to a
barbershop for a close, relaxing shave
By Wes Bausmith
Until about a month ago, everything I knew about shaving I’d
learned from my dad. As it turns
out, it wasn’t a whole lot.
Dad approached shaving solely
as a DIY endeavor. When I was little, I’d watch in awe occasionally as
he went through the routine. He
shaved methodically and comically, making what I considered the
funniest faces ever as he stretched
his skin into shaveable planes. He
focused on the man in the medicine
cabinet mirror as if in a trance,
snapping out of it only when he had
nicked himself or otherwise somehow broken the spell of concentration a close shave requires. Sometimes he’d unload the blades in
spare shavers and let my brother
and me lather up and pretend to
bust our nonexistent beards. Such
was my education in the art of
shaving.
As a whiskery adult, I’ve abided
by Dad’s example; in his book,
cleanliness was next to manliness.
Except for two bearded periods
(one did last six years), I’ve been an
every-day shaver, weekends excluded, for decades.
Only recently did I learn that, as
accustomed as one is to shaving at
home, as comfortable with the
skin-stretching contortions, as
much as you think you know your
face, you cannot come close to the
experience of a professional shave
done by a real barber in a bona fide
barbershop.
The shop shave involves lotions,
balms, warm lather, hot towels,
cold towels, putting your feet up,
kicking back, and placing your
trust in the hands of someone
who’s holding a straight razor to
your throat. It can include a glass of
Scotch, a beer or an espresso. It elevates the mundane to the sublime, like a mini spa visit for your
face.
In these hirsute times, facial
hair is everywhere. It springs forth

on the faces of athletes, rock stars,
actors, businessmen and many
others in the public eye. So much so
that one might assume that oldfashioned barbering has gone the
way of the buggy whip and the
compact disc.
Not so, according to the proprietors of several barbershops where
I tried shaves. Despite the contemporary proliferation of facial hair,
or maybe because of it, there’s a
measurable and nostalgic return
to the art of barbering, including
beard trims and shaves, lest one

So, for all the dads out there
who shave and shape diligently
and dutifully, alone and unheralded, why not give a Father’s Day
gift that breaks the routine? A
shave by a pro is an experience like
no other, filled with sensory signals
that will soothe and relax Dad, and
help him put his best face forward.
Gift certificates, shaving and
grooming products are available
from each of the three establishments I visited for my shaves. None
of the barbers who attended to my
whiskers tried to upsell me on their
products during or after the appointments. Now that’s what I call
refreshing.

BOLT BARBERS
Location: Downtown L.A., arguably
ground zero of local hipsterdom
and showcase of facial hair styles
for the West Coast, if not the entire
free world.
Ambience: Retro man-cave. Playboy and Rolling Stone magazines
are among titles available for those
desiring some old-school reading
while waiting for their old-school
grooming.
Soundtrack: The New Age music
was relaxing, but more suited for a
spa in the woods than a barber
shop in the city.

basins, photographs of hot rides
and hotter women.
Soundtrack: News and sports radio
interspersed with classic rock.
Barber-ism: “This is something
that every man has dreamed of
trying at least once in his life.”

enough to skip the morning shave
the next day.

THE SHAVE
OF BEVERLY HILLS
Location: Beautiful Beverly Hills,
where most unpleasantness has
been eradicated. But not whiskers.
Ambience: Gentleman’s club from
days of yore. Dark wood, frosted
glass and subdued (read: forgiving)
lighting.
Soundtrack: Jazz with big band
shadings, evocative of another era
without sounding like a time warp.
Barber-ism: “If I’m trying to sell you
something throughout your shave,
you can’t relax.” — Ron Randle
Price: $95 plus tip for the Beverly

that also includes Queen Latifah and standing, from left, John Mayer, John Stamos, Bob Saget, Jim Gaffigan, Jimmy Kimmel, Jeff Garlin and Jack Black.

The best medicine
By Ellen Olivier
The event: Anyone looking
for a laugh on June 5 merely
had to head for the Beverly
Wilshire Hotel for “Cool
Comedy, Hot Cuisine,” a
benefit for the Scleroderma
Research Foundation. With
Bob Saget as host, comedians not only performed but
they also appeared in abundance in the star-studded
audience.
The program: Jeff Garlin
and Jim Gaffigan provided
the “cool comedy” from
onstage, as Don Rickles
added a few wisecracks
from his table.
Later, John Mayer sang
for the crowd.
As for the “hot cuisine,”
celebrity chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken
provided dinner, which
began with falafel poppers,
chicken saltimbocca and
shrimp cocktails and continued with beet salad,
heirloom tomatoes, bourbon and mustard glazed

salmon and a delicate lemon rosemary cake.
Jimmy Kimmel joined
Saget for the live action,
and Queen Latifah assisted
as well, encouraging bidders as she walked through
the ballroom.
The crowd: Familiar faces
abounded, including Saget’s “Fuller House” costars John Stamos, Andrea
Barber and Jodie Sweetin;
plus Jack Black, Harry
Lennix, Seth Green, Kevin
Connolly, Kate Flannery,
Alan Thicke, Ed Asner, Jill

Sabina Gadecki, champion
swimmer Diana Nyad,
Paramount Chief Executive
Brad Grey, producer Mark
Canton, “Entourage” creator Doug Ellin; board
Chair Luke Evnin; and
Actelion Pharmaceuticals
Vice President Bob Smith.
The numbers: Tickets for
the 520 guests began at

$250, with tables up to
$25,000. Proceeds of more
than $600,000 from ticket
sales, additional contributions and auction sales are
earmarked for research into
finding the cause and cure
for the autoimmune disease, which claimed the life
of Saget’s sister.
Quote of note: In a cocktail
hour conversation, Jonathan Mangum of “Let’s
Make a Deal” spoke of the
value of comedy, not just for
fundraisers, but also in life.
“I often get emails or letters
from people who have
watched the show from
hospitals,” he said. “They
say, ‘We were having a hard
time, but when we were able
to watch the shows and
laugh,’ it helped pull them
through. It really is true
that laughter is a great
medicine, and it makes
perfect sense to use that to
raise awareness and raise
funding for this foundation.”

Several of Los Angeles’
brightest stars from the
worlds of fashion and interior design came together to
celebrate decorator Windsor Smith’s recently released book “Windsor Smith
Homefront: Design for Modern Living.”
Fashion designers Monique Lhuillier and Minnie
Mortimer, furniture designer Alexandra von Furstenberg, architectural designer Dax Miller and floral
designer Eric Buterbaugh
were among those who
gathered Monday at Smith’s
Brentwood home, a sprawling space filled with a mix of
luxurious textures — marble, brass and pony hair furniture and surfaces, surrounded by white and deep
gray walls — to toast the designer on writing her first
tome.
Smith, who works with a
celebrity roster that reads
like an Oscar party invite
list, was also joined by her
most famous client, Gwyneth Paltrow, who wrote the
foreword for the book and
played host for the evening.
The actress, who lives
across the street from
Smith, says she was smitten
with Smith’s design for her
home.
“She has an uncanny
ability to combine spaces in
a way that reflects how people really want to live,” Paltrow said during an impromptu
post-dinner
speech. “It’s been such an
honor to live in the home
that you’ve designed.”
Paltrow is part of Smith’s
elite clientele, or what the
designer refers to as “highpowered families with complicated lives, high standards and a beautiful aesthetic.”
“That’s my sweet spot,”
Smith said of the demographic.
“I wanted to write a book
that was about families and
how the paradigms of design need to change based
on the way we live today and
how spaces are evolving,”
Smith said. For example, a
grand salon-style kitchen
meant for entertaining is

the modern answer to the
antiquated formality of a
traditional dining room, she
said.
The designer, who has
lived and worked in Los Angeles for 20 years, appreciates the casual elegance

that comes with the Southern California lifestyle, saying, “There’s a deconstructed, unbuttoned quality
about L.A. that doesn’t exist
anywhere else. I love the
juxtapositions, the fact that
we can do all of this, yet still
entertain barefoot.”
For her own party, Smith
was not barefoot, but clad in
a pair of white, high-heeled
Tom Ford sandals and a
structured,
sunset-hued,
caftan-style dress from the
Row, an ensemble that
showed off the designer’s
brand of elevated ease.
Add to that the stylish
burlesque dancers who performed
intermittently
throughout the dinner party
and Smith’s credo on “undone elegance” became
crystal clear — that even in
the most beautifully appointed spaces, people can
and should be able to have
fun and live comfortably.

Family
night
at the
theater
By Ellen Olivier
The event: For some Angelenos, the opening performance of “Matilda the Musical” at the Ahmanson
Theatre on June 7 was a
family affair. Comedian
Jack Black brought his two
sons; “Scandal” actor Dan
Bucatinsky and screenwriter Don Roos brought their
son and daughter; TV personality Kyle Richards had
her daughter; and plenty
more families could be
spotted at the show and
after-party at nearby Kendall’s Brasserie and Bar.
Still, judging from the
audience, the four-time
Tony Award-winning musical is just as much for
adults. As further evidence,
Tim Minchin — the play’s
composer and lyricist —
noted that he’s often seen
grown men getting tearyeyed during performances.

The play: Based on Roald
Dahl’s novel “Matilda,” the
play tells the story of a
precocious girl, a voracious
reader and enthusiastic
storyteller disdained by her
parents and the headmistress at school. Still, her
courage never wavers,
which she confirms in her
repeating refrain, that “just
because you find that life’s
not fair, it doesn’t mean
that you just have to grin
and bear it.”

cartoon characters including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Winnie the Pooh.

Making tracks with
Mickey and friends
Disney, Vans team up on shoes and apparel
By Adam Tschorn
A colorful collaboration between Disney and Vans that hit retail June 5 brings some of the entertainment giant’s most beloved
cartoon characters — Mickey
Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald
Duck and Winnie the Pooh among
them — to the action sports
brand’s lineup of footwear, apparel
and accessories. It also brings two
storied companies with deep
Southern California roots — some
of them intertwined for decades —
back together during Disneyland’s
60th anniversary year and the eve
of Vans’ 50th.
“My dad built his first factory
one mile from here,” said Steve
Van Doren, son of Vans’ co-founder Paul Van Doren, “at 704 East
Broadway. It was like three lights
up.”
“Here” is the Anaheim theme
park where Steve Van Doren has
come on a sunny spring day to celebrate the launch of the collaborative collection. Although as vice
president of events and promotions he’s long served as a roving
ambassador at large for the company (which has been a subsidiary
of VF Corp. since 2004), this partnership has personal connections.
That’s why he’d started this particular day by piloting a giant
Mickey-emblazoned Vans Sk8-Hi
sneaker through the park (it was a
prop to be used later in the day)
and would end it by holding a VIP
photo op with some of the very
same characters featured in the
new collection.
Sitting at a table outside Rancho Del Zocalo Restaurante in
Frontierland, wearing a Mickey &
Friends trucker cap, Mickey
Mouse Vans slip-ons and an earto-ear grin, Van Doren explained
how the first thing his father did
the first morning after moving the
family west from Boston in the ’60s
was take them to Disneyland, how
Vans provided customized footwear for park employees (including the monorail and submarine
attractions) in the ’70s and made
private-label kicks for Disney
stores in the ’80s.
“So this is a big deal,” Van Doren said of the new partnership.
“[In 2013] we brought back some of
those really early [private-label]
shoes we did for the Disney stores
as a very limited-edition [Vault by
Vans] collection, but this … time
everybody will be able to get something — apparel, footwear, accessories.”
Launching for fall 2015, the cobranded Young at Heart men’s
and women’s collection is anchored by six styles of footwear
from the Vans Classics collection:
two slip-ons (one showcasing
Mickey Mouse, another featuring
Minnie, $60), two takes on the Au-

thentic lace-up shoe (one with a
Donald Duck design, the other
with a Winnie the Pooh print, $60)
and a riotous, colorful graphic featuring Goofy, Pluto, Donald and
Mickey splashed across two different styles — an Era ($60) and a
Sk8-Hi Reissue ($75). (In addition,
all but the Sk8-Hi and the Donald
Duck shoe are being offered in
kids’ and toddler sizes, which retail for $42 and $37, respectively.)
Variations on the graphics also
appear on an extensive range of
accessories and apparel including
keychains ($12), socks ($15), Tshirts ($34.50 to $59.50), buttonfronts ($60), bucket hats ($42) and
backpacks ($50).
Two things should be noted
about the above designs. First,
they represent just the beginning
of the collaborative character parade, with future collections
planned to focus on other inhabitants of the Magic Kingdom (such
as a Disney princess collection
that will center on Belle, Jasmine
and Ariel). In addition, retailer
Journeys is getting a couple of exclusive shoes including Disney villains and a checkerboard Mickey
design.
Second, as a testament to the
long-running relationship between the two brands, the shoe designers were given a surprising
amount of leeway in subtly tweak-

How have summer hair products changed in the last 10
years?
They were tackier — stickier — and so would weigh the
hair down more.
Today, the technology
allows us to have much lighter
ingredients that help the hair
and penetrate the hair much
better and faster. Also, the UV
protection technology is much
better and less harmful to the
hair.
Here in L.A., do we have more
of a problem with our hair
drying out?
Yes, exactly. L.A. is almost
like Brazil in a way. It’s very
hot, very dry.
Water also has an effect on
the hair. So it’s so important to
have the hair not only wellprotected from the sun, but
also from the water with a
great moisturizer.
What about hair, often dyed,
that turns brassy in the sun?
It’s a very good point. This
is why we are making products
to protect the hair from being
brassy or orangey. These
products are fantastic friends
to have against the sun.
What hair trends do you think
will be big this summer in
L.A.?
The wet look is really big for
summer, because it works with
more of the nonchalant, bohemian fashion, beachy kind of
look, you know?
Even wealthy people do
[this look], including people in
Silicon Valley. There is this
whole new shift of not working
so much in the office anymore,
but working more from a studio or from home or being
mobile. People are wearing
sneakers. They don’t wear
suits anymore. Like me, I used
to have a much more dressy
look before.
Now, we are much more
relaxed with khakis and jeans
and driving shoes. So the
hairstyles reflect that.

ing the classic characters. For example, in the allover print Mickey
Mouse and Minnie Mouse patterns, some versions of each character are kitted out in colorful
sneakers instead of their traditional footwear. The Donald Duck
graphics — which depict the patience-challenged bird in midtirade — include speech balloons
full of punctuation invective.
But it’s the Winnie the Pooh
shoe that perhaps best symbolizes
the shared history of the two SoCal companies. It features various
manifestations of the beloved bear
seemingly meandering across a
canvas upper. One Pooh reaches
for a butterfly. Another carries a
wooden skateboard under his left
arm (hewn from a tree in the Hundred Acre Wood, naturally). And
one sits on his bear behind, skateboard under his arm with a busted
front wheel visible in front of him.
Atop his head is a safety helmet
made from a beehive.
“They weren’t sure they
wanted Winnie the Pooh to be on a
skateboard,” said Vans Classics
footwear designer Calvin Garcia.
“But once we put the helmet on
him they said, ‘Yes’.... It was kind of
surprising.”
Vans head of footwear design
Rian Pozzebon singled out that
design as his favorite, but he pointed out that each pair of shoes in
the collection is worth studying up
close. “We’ve hidden a Mickey
somewhere on every single shoe,”
Pozzebon said. “It’s in there somewhere.”

And braids and ponytails?
Braids are coming back
very strongly. But now it’s
more playing with a single
braid that goes around the
head or a little braid in a ponytail....
Ponytails are fun. They’re a
strong, beautiful statement,
and you can do so much with
them … also try deconstructing them.

Like Jessica Chastain?
Exactly. Coppery red,
strawberry blond, those colors
are very big, and it can be also
with the highlights, as well....
It’s easier for brunets to go
from brunet to red than to
blond.
Are ’90s-style chunky highlights coming back?
They are, but not like it
used to be in the ’90s.
In the ’90s, [chunky highlights] were coming from the
top down. Now we do it just on
the ends.

Bobs are still strong. Bobs

are a little shorter. A little bit
more asymmetrical and deconstructed to look more
tousled. Again, more of a casual look.

THREE TREACY HATS that

In addition to being worn by

inspired the MAC collection,
clockwise from top: An Art
Deco-influenced piece highlights the cheekbones; a pink
and green hat calls attention
to the lips; and a black lace
mask frames the eyes.

Is it the mystery, the intrigue
hats created in early Hollywood
black-and-white films?
Yes. Well, you know, Hollywood
invented our perception of glamour. They knew all the tricks to
make people look glamorous and
beautiful. So the beauty industry
has early Hollywood to be grateful
to.
What specific ways did early
Hollywood inform your hat making? For instance, from my
understanding, celebrities would
use hats even as anti-agers to veil
wrinkles.
Sure, you know, lighting designers in early Hollywood who
worked on the movies, they knew
how to light hats. All that kind of
mystery, and drama, and beauty
they portrayed onscreen was
exceptional. [Early Hollywood]
wasn’t afraid of shadows and
darkness. It was much more interesting and much more cinematic,
don’t you think? …
Marlene Dietrich did so much
for the beauty industry. She
taught people how to look good
and how to sort of wear clothes,
and hats, and makeup. Makeup
was crucial to early Hollywood
because it helped in the illusion
business and that’s what Hollywood was about — creating beautiful images and beauty. All those
kind of Clarence Sinclair Bull
images, was he MGM’s photographer?

creations worn by British royals, including Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and
Princess Beatrice. Other clients include music stars Lady Gaga and Madonna, and
he’s a favorite of fashion labels Victoria Beckham, Alexander McQueen and Chanel.
This year, he collaborated with MAC Cosmetics on a collection of makeup for eyes,
lips or cheekbones inspired by three of his hats (maccosmetics.com, $16-$35). We
talked to him about his influences and how to “decorate your head.”

Yes.
He and the other Hollywood
photographers at the time, they
changed makeup and gave the
world their perception of beauty,
and, boy, did it work. It made these
people legends and icons. I mean
there are contemporary icons who
use that in the same way, like
maybe Madonna, how she has
herself photographed, and other
entertainers, but early Hollywood
really was the birth of all that… I
was very influenced by all those
major Hollywood stars from that
era because they knew how to
wear hats. They themselves were
masters of illusion. So they used
hats to make themselves look
incredible, which is the point of a
hat or the point of makeup, really.
These hats in the MAC collaboration, what came first, the makeup
or the hats?

The hats came first, and the
silver hat is my version of a very
famous Garbo image from when
she was making “Mata Hari.” It’s
one of my favorite hats in the world
ever. I made my version of that hat
using rapid prototyping, like 3-D
printing. So basically, I made the
shape and then I scanned the
shape into the computer, and then
refined it on the computer. It’s an
amazing technique. It’s like “Star
Trek”.... The hats brought about
the beautiful makeup colors.
Were the hats made specifically
for the MAC collaboration?
Some were [from the archives],
but the black piece I made especially for the shoot. I wanted something to highlight the eye. You look
at the piece, but all you really look
at is the eye and how beautiful Val
Garland’s makeup is, who did the
makeup on that day. Each [hat]
was chosen to accentuate the
cheekbones, or the lips, or the
eyes.
What hats look best on different
face shapes? For example, if you
have a round face, what shape of
hat looks best on you?
I don’t know the answer to that
because a big part of the success of
a hat on somebody is its sympathy
to the personality of the person. So
it’s very difficult to generalize.
Every hat has its own personality and it’s the combination of the
hat and the personality of the
person that makes the hat great….
A hat is a kind of prop to accentuate your best features. When people try hats on at my studio, it’s
important we try lots and lots of
different hats on. I can tell immediately what is the best one.
You see a lot of millennials wearing hats, at least in the States,
particularly casual-style hats.
Certain regions and groups in the
U.S. have a hat-wearing tradition. Where do you think hats in
America are headed?
People do really wear hats,
even in America. I have a fantastic
audience in America for my hats.
So when I travel in America working with the stores I work with, like
Neiman Marcus or Saks, the women love the hats but keep saying, “I
wish we had somewhere to go in
them.”
People since the beginning of
time, they’ve always decorated
their heads in some way and always will.... The hat is the ultimate
glamour accessory.... I’m just
trying to preach it to people of the
world.

On June 16, the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, 67, will
add to his long list of compositions with his first collection of new songs in 13
years on his latest CD, Before This World.

Jennifer Beals stars with
Matthew Modine on Proof.

Why so long between albums? “I’ve
been recording a lot and touring a lot, but
in order to deliver a batch of new songs, it
takes a different kind of work. I didn’t really get down to it until I took 2013 off.”
Who were your influences when you
were growing up? “The first thing to
really impress itself on me was the family record collection—a lot of Broadway,
a good deal of folk music and traditional
music, like Celtic. Then my older brother
Alex introduced me to rhythm and blues,
rock and roll and soul music.”
I was surprised to find out Taylor Swift

is named after you. “I was too! Taylor and
I played a gig together about two years before she became so amazingly successful.
Then she invited me to come finish one of
her tours about four years ago at Madison
Square Garden.”
Where did you get the idea to teach
guitar lessons on your website,
jamestaylor.com? “I tried to come up
with little guitar studies that explained
certain things that I do. I was aware that a
lot of people were using my style and my
songs to teach guitar, and I thought, Why
not get it from the horse’s mouth? ”

A: Like the bestseller by
Lily Koppel, the series—
premiering June 18 on
ABC—will follow the lives
of the wives of the original
Mercury 7 astronauts. As
their husbands are sent
into space, they experience
both celebrity and tragedy.
Yvonne Strahovski, 32, who
plays Scott Carpenter’s
wife, Rene, is in admiration
of her real-life counterpart.
“In the book, they described her as the rebel,”
she says. “She definitely
stands out to me.”

It’s smart, funny
and sunny in there—
so it’s no surprise
that her latest movie
role is a character
named Joy.

F

or the new Disney/Pixar animated family
comedy Inside Out, Amy Poehler
gets into her character—literally. She provides the
voice (and spunky personality) for Joy, one of the five
emotions inside the head of
Riley, an 11-year-old girl,
guiding her through a particularly turbulent time in her
young life.
For Poehler, playing an upbeat character—as opposed
to her co-emotions Anger,
Fear, Disgust and Sadness—came easy. Her
Inside Out costar and
good friend Bill Hader
(who plays Fear) notes
that his former Saturday
Night Live castmate always
has been a beacon of good
vibes and positive attitude.
“The first time I met you was
when I auditioned for SNL,” he tells
Poehler during a chat with Parade (see “Funny
Friends,” on page 8). “I was incredibly nervous.
You came back and were super-nice and introduced yourself, and I’ve always appreciated
that. You were so welcoming.”
“Amy,” Hader purrs, “how can I be
nice like you?”
Poehler laughs. “Bill asks me that
question all the time,” she says. “Or he
sends me letters in weird, magazineblock type: Why Are You So Nice?”
Then the two of them break into giggles,
the kind that make you want to laugh too.

ALWAYS THE OPTIMIST

Born in Newton, Mass., Poehler, 43, honed her
comedy chops with Chicago’s famed Second
City and Improv Olympic troupes before landing in New York and joining Saturday Night Live
in 2001. In her seven successful years on the
show she became known for her skewering of
current events at the “Weekend Update” news
desk—where she and Tina Fey became the first
female co-anchoring team in SNL history—and
for her spot-on impersonations of Hillary Clin-

SNL castmate Bill Hader; and on

ton, Kelly Ripa, Britney Spears, Nancy Grace
and other personalities.
But Poehler’s humor was never mean-spirited,
down-and-dirty or hurtful. Her jokes were
always fizzy, smart, satirical barbs—delivered
with a smile.
“When I got on SNL, I came out of comedy
clubs, and I thought the best comedy came from
being angry, calling people on B.S. or whatever,” says Hader. “And Amy was the
funniest person that wasn’t that
way. She was so open.”
On her hit TV series,
Parks and Recreation, which
aired from 2009 until its
finale in February, she
played Leslie Knope, the
ever-optimistic deputy
director of the Parks and
Recreation Department in
the town of Pawnee, Ind.
Her TV character found a
way to be cheerful even when
the odds were stacked
against her—a lot like Joy
in Inside Out.
Poehler herself is “definitely very much like
that,” says singer-songwriter Amy Miles, who
says the two became “instant
friends for life” after they met
working on the 2001 movie comedy
Wet Hot American Summer. “She’s nice to
everyone, she really is.”
Poehler says one thing that’s helped her to be
so open and positive is never losing touch with a
sense of fun—the same sense that drives her
character in Inside Out. “What I love about Joy,”
she says, “is her desire to be silly, to be ridiculous,
to have fun, to not be afraid of how she looks.
That’s something people lose as they become
adults; we get scared and panic and worry about
what we’re going to look like and sound like, or if
we’re going to fail.”

SUPPORTING THE SMARTS

In 2007, Poehler and another friend, TV producer Meredith Walker, concerned about the lack of
positive messages young girls were getting from

GOING ‘INSIDE

FUNNY FRIENDS

Amy Poehler and Bill Hader met when he came
aboard Saturday Night Live in 2005, where they
worked together for nearly three seasons. In addition to Inside Out, they previously collaborated in the
2014 comedy They Came Together.
PARADE: When did you both realize you were funny?
Bill: “I grew up in Tulsa, Okla. I was maybe 5 or 6,
and we drove past Oral Roberts University, and in
front are these giant praying hands. My grandmother said, ‘What are those?’ And I said, ‘They’re the
praying hands.’ And she was like, ‘Oh.’ And I said,
‘And at midnight, they clap.’ She didn’t laugh; I think
she thought I was serious, because I said it very dry.
But my mom started laughing so hard. And we got
home and she told my dad and he laughed really
hard and asked me, ‘You just said that, huh?’ That
was a moment I realized, Oh, that was funny.”
Amy: “When I was a little kid, being funny got you
attention. But I don’t remember being particularly
funny. I was precocious, though. I was voted third
runner-up for Most Casual at my high school. I don’t
know if that meant dress or attitude. I always joke
that either way, there were two other people who
must have wanted it less.”
Bill: “You’re pretty laid-back, Poehler. Were the
other two people dead or something?”
Amy: “What you said about your parents saying
‘That’s funny’ is important, because kids can tell
when parents notice that. When a parent says, ‘That
was funny’ and means it, that’s the kind of encouragement that can send you on a crazy, 40-year journey—into delusion and disappointment!”
Bill: “And anguish! It never got better than that.
That first laugh was the best laugh I ever got.”
PARADE: Which of you wants the last word?
Amy: “My last word is macaroni.”
Bill: “My last word is calypso. It’s also my safe
word.“

SS UNITED STATES
A once-proud vessel awaits its next moment in history.

O

SS UNITED STATES CONSERVANCY

n the eve of July 4 in 1952, a sleek, 990-foot ship with
towering red, white and blue funnels steamed out of
New York on its maiden voyage. When it
returned, it had broken the eastbound and westbound crossing records. The SS United States had claimed
a prize that hadn’t been won by an American vessel in
more than a century, says historian John MaxtoneGraham, whose latest book, SS United States: Red, White
& Blue Riband, Forever (W.W. Norton & Co.), is about
the ship. It was, he says, “an astounding feat.”

With its picture on magazine covers and the front pages
of newspapers, the “Big U” became a national celebrity,
just like many of its passengers. Presidents Harry Truman,
Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and a 22-year-old
Bill Clinton would all sail on the ship, as well as Grace
Kelly, Cary Grant, Marlon Brando, Salvador Dali, John
Wayne, Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe.
By 1969, the ship was laid up at a pier in Virginia ready
for the scrap yard. But the United States was a survivor.
Today it’s docked in Philadelphia, property of the SS
United States Conservancy, a nonprofit that bought the
ship in 2011 and aims to turn it into a “museum and development complex in an urban waterfront setting,” according
to Susan Gibbs, the group’s executive director and a granddaughter of the ship’s architect. “While the red, white and
blue paint on her giant funnels has faded to pink and gray,”
Gibbs says, “she remains structurally sound and ready for
her next chapter.” The group is in talks to make that
happen. —Greg Daugherty

GOOD KARMA

FOR MRS. SHERMAN
My high school history teacher changed my life.
Now I want to save hers. Can you help?
By Brad Meltzer

R

emember the first person
who took a chance on you?
We all have them. For me,
back in 11th grade, it was
my history teacher who took a
chance on me. She was the person who showed me my first JFK
conspiracy film (one of the good
ones, not the kooky, insane ones)
and helped nurture my love of
learning. Most important, she
had faith in me, forcing me to
have faith in myself as she helped
me become the first in my immediate family to attend a four-year
college (where I majored in, yes,
history). As someone who today
makes his living writing thrillers
filled with real history, I owe a
great deal to Mrs. Sherman.
To thank her, I recently dedicated one of my books to her. I
hadn’t seen her in nearly a decade, but I knew: She changed
my life—I owed her forever.
When she got word of what I’d
done, Mrs. Sherman reached out
to me. I was thrilled just to see
her email pop up in my inbox.
Mrs. Sherman was a giant in my
life. To see a note from her—I
felt like I was 17 again, with a full
head of hair.
After a few emails back and

forth, Mrs. Sherman revealed a
secret: She was sick, and she
needed a new kidney. She then
asked if I could ask the people
on my Facebook page if they
might be willing to donate. I immediately put the word out. And
then I contacted my high school
pal Sheryl Sandberg (who also
took Mrs. Sherman’s class and
who is the COO of Facebook),
and that’s when we really got the
word out.
We got many potential donors. One of them (a reader of
mine) was thought to be a match.
So, naturally, we started getting
excited. Then, a twist of fate: The
potential donor, a woman I’ll call
Beth, came down to Florida for
the final stages of testing. In the
course of those tests, doctors
discovered that Beth had a cancerous tumor on her own kidney.
I know. You almost have to read
it again. We were just as shocked
to learn this.
Beth explained that since the
doctors caught her cancer so
early, she would be spared radiation or chemotherapy. She would
need surgery, but she could be
cured. Beth kept thanking me
over and over for saving her life.

This simplifed approach takes all the guesswork out of using a smartphone
and puts everything right at his fngertips.

photo of his teacher who needs a kidney.

RYAN KUTTLER

But we all know the truth. Beth
saved her own life—by being so
kind, and volunteering to save the
life of a stranger.
Part of me still can’t believe it.
Whether you think it was God,
or fate or just luck, it was one of
those moments where you have
to listen to the universe. It’s the
best lesson of all: When you do
something good in this world, it
brings out the good in others.
And it always, eventually, spreads
good elsewhere.
A year later, Beth is feeling
great. After her surgery, the tumor was found to be benign,
though it was a precursor to cancer that disqualifed her from being a kidney donor. That means
that we’re still looking for a donor
match for Mrs. Sherman. She
still needs a kidney. And I’m
trusting in the universe that this
essay will help her find it.

History and the author of the new
thriller The President’s Shadow.

CROWDFUNDING

Here’s everything you need to know about online fundraising.

A

middle-schooler named Vidal was on his way home from school when he bumped into
Brandon Stanton, the photographer behind the popular blog Humans of New York. When
asked about the most influential person in his life, he told Stanton about his principal.
Inspired, Stanton launched the “Let’s Send Kids to Harvard: Vidal Scholarship Fund”
campaign on Indiegogo, a fundraising site. With the money, incoming classes of sixth-graders at
Vidal’s school in Brooklyn could tour Harvard to ignite their academic dreams. Stanton hoped to
raise $100,000. By the time the campaign ended on Feb. 22, he’d raised $1.4 million.
That is crowdfunding. Today’s hottest form of online fundraising “gives us the ability to
directly bring an idea to life, no matter how big, small, wacky or serious,” says Brian Meece,
co-founder of crowdfunding website Rockethub.
Bands have been asking fans for online donations for years, but since Indiegogo, Rockethub,
Kickstarter and Quirky began making headlines in 2009, crowdfunding has taken off.“It
democratizes creativity,” says Jamey Stegmaier, president of Stonemaier Games, who’s raised
over $1 million via Kickstarter. “Crowdfunding puts the power of creation in the hands of the
people; they get to vote with their money as to whether or not something will exist.”

| CHEAT SHEET | HOW TO GET STARTED
1. Pick the right site
Some services let you keep
funds raised if you don’t
reach your goal. Others
cater to specific crowds and
project types.

2. Do your
homework
Study similar projects,
noting which ideas, rewards
and promotional activities
worked—and didn’t.

3. Perfect
your pitch
Can you clearly explain
your idea in 20 seconds or
less? Focus on one to three
key elements or features.

4. Gather assets
Stockpile photographs,
videos and playable
demonstrations or samples
to share with prospective
fans and backers.

5. Budget wisely
Expect projects to cost up to
30% more time and money than
anticipated. Funds earned through
crowdfunding are likely to be
considered taxable income as well.

third contains fake coins.
Each real coin weighs one
ounce. The fakes weigh 1.1
ounces. You have a digital
scale. With one weighing,
how can you tell which sack
has the fake coins?

The answer appears in the
next paragraph.
Label the sacks 1, 2, and
3. Put one coin from sack 1
and two coins from sack 2
on the scale. If the weight
is 3.1 ounces, sack 1 has
the fake coins. If the weight
is 3.2 ounces, sack 2 has
the fakes. If the weight is 3
ounces, sack 3 contains the
fakes.

15 ENERGY BOOSTERS
Try these simple ways to tackle some
surprising energy sappers.
By Marianne Wait

1. BUSTER: TOO-BIG MEALS A huge dinner sends blood to the digestive
tract and away from muscles and other areas that need it for energy,
says Michael F. Roizen, M.D., chief wellness officer at Cleveland
Clinic and author of This is Your Do-Over: The 7 Secrets to Losing
Weight, Living Longer, and Getting a Second Chance at the Life You
Want (Scribner). What’s worse: “Over time, those big meals probably
cause damage to mitochondria, the cells’ energy factories,” Roizen
says. The sugar dump from a big plate of food produces more celldamaging free radicals than your natural antioxidant defenses can
handle, and your mitochondria may take the hit.

Booster: Smaller snacks Eat throughout the day for ongoing energy. At
snack time, don’t just eat pretzels. “Every snack should have complex
carbs plus protein,” says Elizabeth Ward, RD, author of several nutrition
books. Add peanut butter or cottage cheese to that pretzel break.

2. BUSTER: YOUR “BAD” BACTERIA Your gut is home to an array of bacteria,
some beneficial, others not. “You eat steak, you change the bacteria inside your gut to those that like steak,” says Roizen. Too many of these
“bad” bugs leads to inflammation, which saps energy.
Booster: Probiotics Start taking a probiotic pill, such as Digestive
Advantage (available at Walmart and drugstores), every day to repopulate the gut with “good” bacteria, Roizen suggests.

3. BUSTER: YOUR OLDER GUT People
over 50 sometimes have trouble
absorbing nutrients, such as B12,
from natural sources like red
meat. “B12 is involved in nerve
conduction, and the central nervous system is involved in feeling
fatigued,” Ward says.

Booster: Take supplements or eat
fortified grains “It’s recommended
that you get the majority of nutrients in fortified foods or as dietary
supplements,” says Ward. Roizen
suggests half a multivitamin in the
morning and half at night to keep
the level in your body steady (you
lose the soluble vitamins in 12 to
16 hours).

4. BUSTER: YOUR MEDS Sometimes
the drugs you take to keep you
healthy can have an impact on
energy production, says Ward.
“Certain diuretics deplete potassium, for example. That can lead
to an energy slump,” she says.

Booster: Fill in the gaps with
supplements Talk to your doctor.
“You’ve got to drill down and find
the potential nutrient interactions
and compensate,” says Ward.

5. BUSTER: LACK OF PROTEIN “I find
people, especially women, are really short on their protein. They
save it up for dinner,” says Ward.

Booster: Eat protein at every
meal and snack “Getting 20 to
30 grams of protein per meal is a
very good way to give your body a
steady source of amino acids that
it needs to build neurotransmitters, which help you to feel in a
good mood and more energetic or
awake,” says Ward. Her favorite
sources of concentrated protein:
Greek nonfat yogurt and cottage
cheese. Her favorite protein tips:
» Blend cottage cheese and
marinara in a blender for creamy,
high-protein pasta sauce.
» Mix cottage cheese with fruit,
honey and nuts and add to wholegrain toast for a high-protein
breakfast.

6. BUSTER: YOUR WEIGHT Being
overweight saps your energy.

Booster: Walnuts before meals
Try this: 30 minutes before a meal,
have six walnut halves. “That
decreases your desire for food because when it hits your intestinal
wall, it decreases ghrelin production,” says Roizen. (Ghrelin is a
hormone that makes you hungry.)
Bonus: Walnuts contain an amino
acid that helps blood vessels dilate
for better blood flow. More blood
flow means better delivery of ATP,
a coenzyme known as the “energy
currency of life,” to muscles, Roizen says.

A

gallon of gas costs less than a good cup of coffee, but it seems
America still has a serious energy crisis. Boomers—folks
50-plus—who probably should know better, are downing more
and more energy drinks to fuel their endeavors or just make it
to bedtime. Some are getting more than they bargained for: ER visits
due to heavy consumption of energy drinks are up, especially among
men over 40. The massive caffeine dump can increase blood pressure
and heart rate and even cause symptoms that can be mistaken for a
heart attack. Can’t remember where you stashed your energy? Try these
expert-endorsed solutions to help you find it again.

7. BUSTER: SUGAR Sugars “give you
that energy rush, but you’ll pay
for it” with an energy crash, says
Ward. “In the long term, sugary food and drinks inhibit your
blood flow,” says Roizen. Without good blood flow, nutrients
aren’t delivered where you need
them for get-up-and-go.
Booster: Complex carbs “Foods
rich in complex carbohydrates
almost always have vitamins,
minerals and fiber in them. Complex carbs take longer to digest,
so you get a more even source
of energy rather than the sugar
rollercoaster,” says Ward.

8. BUSTER: ALCOHOL “Alcohol is
an energy drainer. You have one
or two drinks and you just don’t
sleep as deeply,” says Ward.
Booster: Water Skip the booze,
and drink more water. Dehydration contributes to fatigue.

9. BUSTER: STAYING UP LATE Not
enough Zs leaves you depleted.
Booster: Go to bed one hour earlier Can’t fall asleep? Take ½ to 3
milligrams of melatonin, a sleepinducing hormone supplement,
two hours before bed. Don’t take
more or for more than two weeks
at a time, says Roizen.

10. BUSTER: YOUR ELECTRONICS Blue
wavelength light can inhibit
your body’s natural production
of melatonin.
Booster: Banish the blues
“Eliminate TVs and cell phones in
your bedroom,” Roizen suggests.
You can find red wavelength lights
that filter out blue light in the
hardware store.

11. BUSTER: A RIBOSE DEFICIENCY
Ribose is a sugar produced by
the body that’s essential for
mitochondria to create energy-

producing ATP. “Some people
with chronic fatigue aren’t making it efficiently,” says Roizen.
Booster: Ribose supplements
Start with 500 milligrams three
times a day. Work up to 5 grams
total per day, Roizen suggests.

12. BUSTER: MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Thyroid dysfunction is one common cause of low energy.
Booster: Get your thyroid
checked You’ll need medication if
your levels are low.

13. BUSTER: TOO MUCH SITTING
“Sedentary people typically
have lower-than-average energy
levels,” says Patrick O’Connor,
PhD, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at University of Georgia.
Booster: Any type of exercise
“A single 20- to 40-minute bout of
exercise reliably increases feelings of energy,” says O’Connor.

14. BUSTER: LOW-GRADE INFECTIONS
Gingivitis and sinus infections
are energy zappers.
Booster: Mouth and sinus TLC
Get your teeth cleaned twice a
year and brush and floss
routinely. If you’re prone to sinus
infections, rinse your nasal passages with a Neti pot (a nasal
irrigation system that flushes out
mucus), Roizen suggests.

15. BUSTER: BOREDOM “People are
energized when they have fun,”
says Roizen.
Booster: Pursue an interest
“When we see people who have a
lack of energy,” says Roizen, “we
ask them two questions: ‘How are
you sleeping?’ and ‘What’s your
passion?’ If they can’t tell us that
second thing, we know that’s one
of the things that is needed to get
them energized about life.”

EYE HEALTH UPDATE

Leading MD warns:
Popular vision
supplements often
fall short
Are you one of the
millions of Americans
taking an eye health
supplement hoping for
sharper focus, better night
vision, less eyestrain, and anti-aging
protection—but you haven’t “seen” any
real difference? There’s a reason.
“Supplement makers must think
consumers are blind and can’t clearly
see the fraud that exists in store brand
supplements,” says leading eye health
expert Julian Whitaker, MD. “They
make claims of improving vision with
nutrients like lutein, but then only give
you 5–10 mg, when the clinical studies
demand much more.”

Lutein can be a powerful way to
improve macular health, visual acuity,
and glare tolerance, but it’s just one of
over a dozen nutrients that can help
maintain optimal eye health. Others
include bilberry and black currant—
clinically shown to improve the eyes’
ability to adapt from light to dark
within just 30 minutes—zeaxanthin,
beta-carotene, taurine, vitamin C, and
herbs like eyebright and schisandra.
“It is critical that you take a
comprehensive vision supplement for
long-term eye health. Your eyes are
far too precious to skimp by taking
a supplement with two or three
ingredients in measly doses. Any eye
health supplement you take should
deliver noticeable results you can SEE!”
says Dr. Whitaker.

Your eyes are only as strong as their
weakest link. You must choose a vision
supplement that protects your lenses,
maculas, retinas, and even the tiny veins

REVIEWS
“Babe and Me:
A Baseball Card Adventure”
Dan Gutman
“Babe and Me” is an awesome book
and is part of a series. The main character’s name is Joey, and he has power
to travel back in time to meet famous
baseball players, like Jackie Robinson
and Babe Ruth. In “Babe and Me,” Joey
time travels to 1932 to meet Babe Ruth,
but this time he brings his dad, who
comes with schemes to get money.

“Matilda”
Roald Dahl
Matilda’s parents are mean to Matilda. They make her watch TV all day.
But she wants to read. She asks her
parents nicely, and guess what? They
say no. “Why can’t you be like a normal
child and watch TV? Nobody wants to
read!” they say. But Matilda answers, “I
do. I want to read a good book from the
library.” So she walks out of the house
and goes to the library by herself. Then
what happens?

“Brothers”
Yin
Ming goes to San Francisco to join
his brothers, Wong and Shek. When
Ming and Shek enter Wong’s shop, they
see that it is not doing well.
When Shek leaves to go to work,
Ming gets bored and leaves Chinatown
and meets a friend, Patrick. When Shek
finds out, he is a bit mad.
When they get a letter from Wong
saying he has to find work, Patrick suggests a plan to help the shop get customers. Read this book to find out
about the plan and how it works out.

“The Candy Shops War”
Brandon Mull
Four kids — Nate, Summer, Pigeon
and Trevor — walk into a candy shop.
They meet the owner, a magician
named Mrs. White. She is capable of
making magical candy! At night, the
kids try the Moon Rocks and discover
that the candy makes them weightless.
OK, I guess I don’t want to spoil any
more of the story; you have to read the
book!

Princess Lark is feeling lonely. Nobody treats her like a normal person,
except Robin, the baker’s son. They fall
in love with each other, but they don’t
see each other for years. Meanwhile, at
the bakery, Robin is unwillingly betrothed to another girl. Golly. Read the
book to find out if Robin and Lark see
each other again.
