Bringing Home Braden SFO pilots
mixed up

FAA finds
Transposing numbers
into cockpit computers
nearly caused crashes
By Matthias Gafni

In 2017, a commercial airliner lined up for

takeoff at San Francisco International Airport
on runway 01 Left, the main departure route.
The pilot accidentally punched 10 Left — a
much longer SFO runway — into the cockpit
computer, causing the plane to incorrectly cal­
culate the appropriate thrust and wing flap
settings.
The pilot’s simple reversing of the number
caused the plane to nearly run out of runway,
lifting off with only 400 feet left of asphalt,
according to a Federal Aviation Administration
report obtained by The Chronicle through the
Freedom of Information Act.
It wasn’t the only such close call at SFO. The
March 2018 FAA safety report found 25 cases
from 2014 to 2017 in which airplanes from sev­
eral carriers took off with less than 1,000 feet of
runway remaining. The FAA believes some of
those cases probably were a result of “transpo­

Drone attacks claimed by
Yemen’s Houthi rebels struck
two key oil installations inside
Saudi Arabia on Saturday, dam­
aging facilities that process the
vast majority of the country’s
crude output and raising the
risk of a disruption in world oil
supplies.
The attacks immediately
escalated tensions in the Per­
sian Gulf amid a standoff be­
tween the United States and
Iran, even as key questions
remained unanswered — where
the drones were launched from,
and how the Houthis could have
managed to hit facilities deep in
Saudi territory, some 500 miles
from Yemeni soil.
Secretary of State Mike Pom­
peo accused Iran of being be­
hind what he called “an unprec­
edented attack on the world’s
Saudi Crown Prince Moham­
med bin Salman and offered
support for “Saudi Arabia’s
self­defense,” the White House
said in a statement, adding that
the U.S. “remains committed to
ensuring global oil markets are
stable and well supplied.”
The Houthis said they had
launched the aerial attacks with
10 drones, which would amount
to their most audacious strike
on Saudi Arabia since the king­
dom intervened in Yemen’s war
more than four years ago. The
Saudi­led bombing campaign
has devastated the poor country
patched technicians to Yemen to
train the Houthis. U.N. investi­
gators have written that the
Houthis have advanced drones
that could have a range of up to
930 miles.
The targeted oil facilities can
process 8.45 million barrels of
crude oil a day between them,
the bulk of production in Saudi
Arabia, the world’s largest oil
exporter. Saudi Aramco, the
state­owned oil giant, said pro­
duction of 5.7 million barrels a
day — well over half of the na­
tion’s overall daily output — was
suspended.
It was not immediately clear
“Crude prices will still rise a
bit, but apparently the world
economy dodged a bullet,” said
Robert McNally, president of
Rapidan Energy Group.
The attacks demonstrated
how relatively cheap it has be­
come to stage such high­profile
strikes. The drones used in
Saturday’s attacks may have
cost $15,000 or less to build, said
Wim Zwijnenburg, a senior
researcher on drones at PAX, a

TROPICAL STORM HUMBERTO
Bahamas relief
efforts resume as
course changes
By Rachel Knowles
and Kirk Semple
NASSAU, Bahamas — The
Bahamas breathed a sigh of
relief as a new storm changed
course on Saturday and skirted
the islands that were devastat­
ed by Hurricane Dorian less
than two weeks ago.
The new storm, Tropical
Storm Humberto, was never
expected to be as destructive as
Dorian, a Category 5 hurricane
that killed at least 50 people, a
death toll that is expected to
increase drastically. Even so,
Humberto threatened to com­
plicate the already difficult task
of rescue workers, who were
still searching for about 1,300
missing people.
The National Hurricane
Center said Saturday that Hum­
berto was likely to strengthen
gradually and become a hurri­

Ex­prime minister says he regrets ‘failure’ on Brexit
By Gregory Katz
LONDON — The British
prime minister who called the
2016 Brexit referendum and
then saw the public vote to leave
the European Union, creating
the nation’s prolonged political
crisis, says he is sorry for the
divisions it has caused.
David Cameron said in an
interview published Saturday
that he thinks about the conse­
quences of the Brexit referen­
dum “every single day” and
worries “desperately” about
what will happen next.

it would gradually move away
from the northwestern Baha­

was still expected in parts of the
Bahamas, with up to 6 inches in
spots.
“It’s a blessing to us that it’s
staying out in the Atlantic
Ocean,” Trevor M. Basden,
director of the Bahamian gov­
ernment’s Department of Mete­
orology, said Saturday after­
noon. “We should be dropping
the storm warnings this eve­
ning.”
The Bahamas had been brac­
ing for a possible direct hit, but
Basden said the storm system
got no closer than about 30
miles east of Marsh Harbour,
the town on Great Abaco Island
that was torn apart by the hur­
ricane two weeks ago.
The system’s most intense

NEWS OF THE DAY From Across the Nation
_ Emu­tional rescue:
1 _ Strike deadline: A top United
California authorities have
captured an emu after the
flightless fugitive led officers
down a highway. The Fresno
Bee reported Friday that the
bird was apprehended after
a brief pursuit by California
Highway Patrol officers.
Authorities say officers re­
sponded to a report that an
ostrich was wandering along
the right­hand shoulder of
Highway 99 northwest of
Fresno. Authorities say Ma­
dera County Animal Servic­
es took the bird into custody
uninjured. Officers say they
do not know whether the
emu escaped a nearby farm
or a moving vehicle. Animal
experts say the native Aus­
tralian birds can sprint at up
to 30 mph.

Auto Workers official said the union
and General Motors are far apart on
major issues, increasing the likelihood
of a strike as early as Sunday night.
The union, in letters to members and
GM Saturday, said it will let its four­
year contract with the company ex­
pire just before midnight. But work­
ers are to report to their jobs if they’re
scheduled to work Sunday. A strike
by 49,200 union workers would bring
to a halt GM’s U.S. production, and
would probably stop the company
from making vehicles in Canada and
Mexico as well. Plant­level union
leaders from all over the country will
be in Detroit on Sunday to talk about
the next steps, and after that, the
union most likely will make an an­
nouncement. If there is a strike, it
would be the union’s first since a
two­day work stoppage at GM in
2007.

WASHINGTON — The
White House announced
Saturday that Hamza bin
Laden, the son of the late
al Qaeda leader who had
become an increasingly
prominent figure in the
terrorist organization,
was killed in a U.S. coun­
terterrorism operation in
the Afghanistan­Pakistan
region.
A statement issued in
President Trump’s name
gave no further details,
such as when Hamza bin
Laden was killed or how
the United States had
confirmed his death.
Administration officials
would provide no more
information beyond the
three­sentence statement

The U.S. officials had
suspected this summer
that Hamza bin Laden
was dead, based on in­
telligence reports and the
fact that he had not been
heard from in some time.
The officials spoke on
condition of anonymity to
discuss intelligence mat­
ters. Defense Secretary
CIA
Mark Esper told Fox
News Channel in a late
August interview that it
was “my understanding”
that Hamza bin Laden
was dead.
A U.S. official familiar
say what led the U.S. to
report bin Laden’s death
with certainty.
The younger bin Laden
had been viewed as an
eventual heir to the lead­
ership of al Qaeda, and
the group’s leader, Ay­
man al­Zawahri, had
praised him in a 2015
video that appeared on
jihadi websites, calling
him a “lion from the den
of al Qaeda.” Bin Laden’s
death leaves Zawahiri
with the challenge of
finding a different suc­

Bin Laden hadn’t been

sage in March 2018, in
which he threatened the
rulers of Saudi Arabia.

CAMPAIGN 2020
Warren follows
Sanders’ lead
on health care
By Steve Peoples
WASHINGTON — Eliza­
beth Warren has a plan for
that. But on health care, she’s
with Bernie.
Warren, a Massachusetts
senator and a leading liberal
Democratic presidential candi­
date, has stood out in the
2020 race for her extraordi­
nary focus on detailed plans
to address the nation’s most
pressing issues. Her website
lists specific policies for 43
topics, from gun violence and
Social Security to the Elector­
al College and family farmers.
But on health care, an issue
that matters the most to many
voters, Warren is all in on her
opponent Bernie Sanders’
Medicare for All plan.
The seeming inconsistency
was highlighted during last
week’s presidential debate by
Democratic front­runner Joe
Biden as he defended his own
WHITE HOUSE
Trump supports Netanyahu goal before Israeli vote
A S S OC IAT E D PRE SS
WASHINGTON — Presi­
dent Trump gave a boost Sat­
urday to Israeli Prime Min­
ister Benjamin Netanyahu
days before he faces his fierc­
est political test in more than
a decade.
Trump publicly expressed
support in a tweet for moving
forward with discussions on a
U.S.­Israel mutual defense
treaty, embracing a Netanyahu
priority as the Israeli leader
plan to expand the health
care overhaul put in place
while Barack Obama was
president.
“The senator says she’s for
Bernie,” Biden quipped. “Well,
I’m for Barack.”
No issue has defined the
early months of the nom­
ination fight more than health
care, which has emerged as a
powerful proxy in the broader
fight for the party’s soul in
the age of Trump.
The issue is delicate for
Warren. She needs to unify
the progressive wing behind
her candidacy to overtake
Biden in the primary, if she is
to emerge as the nominee
against President Trump in
the general election.
Medicare for All is Sanders’
signature issue, and as such,
she can ill afford any daylight
on health care between her
and Sanders, a self­described
democratic socialist, if she
hopes that his ties with the
American leader will bring
him another term. Netanyahu
is perhaps Trump’s closest
ally on the world stage, and
the U.S. president has ex­
pressed optimism that he will
survive Tuesday’s vote.
Trump said a formal de­
fense pact would “further
anchor the tremendous alli­
ance between our two coun­
tries” and he looks forward to
continuing the discussions
after the election when they

ultimately hopes to win over
his supporters.
On such a critical issue,
Warren allies believe there’s
no incentive to complicate the
debate with a new plan.
“Making clear that they’re
aligned on the North Star goal
of Medicare for All is an im­
portant long­term investment

SACRAMENTO
Newsom to veto bill aimed at environmental rollbacks
By Alexei Koseff
SACRAMENTO — Despite
California’s battle with the
federal government, Gov. Gavin
Newsom will veto a bill intend­
ed to combat the Trump admin­
istration’s rollback of environ­
mental and labor protections.
Newsom said Saturday that
he will not sign SB1 by state
Senate President Pro Tem Toni
Atkins, D­San Diego, which
would have adopted into Cali­
fornia law the federal Clean Air
Act, Clean Water Act, Endan­
gered Species Act, Fair Labor
Standards Act and other reg­
ulations as they existed when
President Obama left office. The
measure would have expired on
the day in 2025 that President
Trump would finish a potential
second term.
“I fully support the principles
behind Senate Bill 1: to defeat
efforts by the President and
Congress to undermine vital
federal protections,” Newsom
said in a statement, hours after
lawmakers approved the bill on
the final night of the legislative
session.
“Senate Bill 1 does not, how­
ever, provide the state with any
new authority to push back
against the Trump Administra­
tion’s environmental policies
and it limits the state’s ability to
rely upon the best available
science to protect our environ­
ment,” he said.
The measure passed narrow­
ly, in the face of heavy opposi­
tion from Central Valley farm­
ers, water agencies and some
prominent Democrats, includ­
ing U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein
of California. They argued it
would undermine delicate deals
that had been negotiated to
deliver more water south of the
Sacramento­San Joaquin River
Delta while still protecting
endangered fish species.
Newsom was sensitive to
concerns that the bill would
freeze in place outdated water
pumping and fish conservation
practices in the delta. But At­
kins pushed to send it to the
governor’s desk without mak­
ing all of the changes sought by
Newsom. The measure was a
priority of environmental
groups after a similar effort
failed last year.
Atkins, in a statement, said
she disagrees with the gover­
nor’s interpretation of the bill
and is “strongly disappointed in
its impending fate.”
“The bill provides the au­
thority to backstop baseline
standards when they are rolled
back,” she said. It “also clearly
states that state agencies shall
make determinations based on
the best scientific information
available.”

worse. So The Chronicle asked readers to send in ques-
tions about climate change and its impact on the Bay
Area. We’re answering those questions (edited for
length and clarity) here as we kick off a joint effort with
other media organizations to spotlight the issue. We
focused on queries specific to the region. Stories will
appear in the paper daily through Monday, Sept. 23, and
online at sfchronicle.com/climatechallenge.
Sea level rise
Q: How much will the sea level
rise in the Bay Area?
A: The most recent state guid-
ance predicts a likely additional
1.1 feet by 2050 and 2.5 to 3.5
feet by 2100. Factoring in loss
from a major Antarctic ice
sheet, a more frightening sce-
nario shows a rise of 2.7 feet by
2050 and 10.2 feet by 2100.
These figures reflect water
levels at regular high tide and
don‘t include risks of flooding
from special events like king
tides or storm surges.
Q: What communities in the
Bay Area are most at risk from
sea level rise?
A: At 3 feet of sea rise, and
without measures to stave off
disaster, parts of the Embarca-
dero in San Francisco, most of
San Francisco and Oakland
international airports, and parts
of Corte Madera and San Rafael
along Highway 101 may be
inundated. At 9 feet, the impact
could include parts of Fairfield,
parts of downtown Napa, the
western edge of much of Ala-
meda and Contra Costa coun-
ties, parts of San Francisco’s

Aviation experts say
airliners need to lift off

“Wow, that is practi­

The airport closed its

Sept. 7 for 20 days of

than 1,000 flight delays
and hundreds of cancel­

not related to the runway

to pilot unions and other
groups to alert flight

issue.
“We have not received
any reports about this

FAA spokesman Ian

such an incident is vol­

whether the confusion

SFO spokesman Doug

issue has been fixed.
“We’re confident that
the FAA has created the

said.

Juul to pay dearly if U.S. bans flavors
E­cigarettes from page A1
co analysts estimate that
mint and menthol ac­
counted for 58%, roughly
$1.9 billion, of Juul’s $3.3
billion in U.S. retail sales
for the 12 months that
ended in August, accord­
ing to a research note by
Wells Fargo Securities,
citing Nielsen data. But
in the event of a federal
flavor ban, some mint
and menthol users could
switch to tobacco­fla­
vored Juul pods, soft­
ening the losses some­
what. (Though tobacco
pods are artificially fla­
vored, they are consid­
ered “unflavored” by the
industry; Juul does not
make a flavorless pod,
though other manufac­
turers do.)
The ban would be
lifted for flavored e­ciga­
rettes that can pass an
FDA review that analyz­
es the health benefits and
potential harm of the
products. E­cigarette
companies must apply
for the review by May.
Juul is already contem­
plating how to ward off
such a prohibition. The
company is exploring
whether to seek an ex­
emption from the FDA
for mint and menthol,
according to a person
familiar with the matter
who was not authorized
to speak publicly about
Juul’s plans. The reason­
ing behind an exemption,
the person said, is that
menthol flavoring is
permitted in traditional
combustible cigarettes
and should be allowed
for e­cigarettes as well.
Menthol makes com­
bustible cigarettes taste
less harsh. Many public
health experts have long
criticized tobacco compa­
nies, and now e­cigarette
companies, for making
products that appeal to
new smokers and young
people.
Juul said it agrees with
the need for “aggressive
category­wide action on
flavored products” and
will comply with FDA
policy.
In one sense, a crack­
down on all flavored
e­cigarettes industry­
wide would bring Juul’s
competitors and copycats
in line with what Juul
has voluntarily done
under pressure — stop
selling fruit­ or dessert­
flavored nicotine vapor.
A hit to Juul’s U.S.
sales could be offset in
part by Juul’s rapid ex­
pansion abroad in coun­
tries such as China,
which have fewer e­
cigarette regulations.

BRINGING HOME BRADEN

Patty Hood / Cal Fire L2881 Honor Guard 2018

Jessica Varney walks behind fallen husband Braden’s casket as the Cal Fire Honor Guard
carries it through the doors of House Church in Modesto during the celebration of his life.

Firefighters’ risky
maneuvers for body
of heroic colleague
Varney from page A1
Williams punched through
chamise and manzanita, then
crawled along the bulldozer’s
side. He’d be the first on the
scene of a recovery operation
the likes of which the state
had never seen. Over the next
2½ days, at a cost of $200,000,
59 firefighters and 34 state
prison inmates would join in
this improbable rescue, risk­
ing their lives to retrieve the
driver’s body.
“It was a sickening feeling
in the pit of my stomach to
know we couldn’t get him off
the hill the second we knew
that he had perished,” said
Nancy Koerperich, who was
then Cal Fire’s unit chief over­
seeing Mariposa County.
“Firefighters knew what was
at stake, they knew it was
dangerous, they knew the fire
was coming, but that’s what
firefighters do. It was truly a
labor of firefighter love.”
The man pinned inside the
bulldozer, Braden Varney, had
lived with his young family
just miles away from where he
died. He’d reported to the fire
line to protect them, his
friends and his neighbors. His
colleagues were determined to
deliver him back to them.
* * *
The previous evening, as a
warm wind pushed through
the oak and pine forests of
Mariposa, Braden drove home
from another fire zone in Yolo
County. He lived with his wife
levers that Maleah pushed and
pulled.
Jessica Varney, 39, tiptoed in
bare feet across the gravel,
capturing the scene on video.
She’d been raised by a single
mother in upstate New York,
and as she watched her hus­
band and children play in the
dozer, she felt lucky. They had
it all: good health, stable in­
come, love.
***
She and Braden had met at
a wedding in Walnut Creek
nine years earlier. Jessica lived
in Oakland then. She’d moved
there from New York at age 18
to live with a cousin, and
worked as a medical assistant
for a dermatologist. Braden
was friendly and polite. Per­
haps more striking, at first,
was his size — 6­foot­6 and
277 pounds.
He friended her on Face­
book and invited her to go
fishing in his hometown of
Mariposa. They dated long
distance, spending hours talk­
ing on the phone. Jessica was
drawn to his humility and
generosity. Whatever he had,
he gave away. He always
tucked a $20 bill for gas in her
palm before she made the
three­hour drive back to Oak­
land.
In November 2010, in a
snowy meadow near his home,
Braden knelt and presented
her with a diamond engage­
ment ring. Three months later,
they married in Pleasanton.
He was 28, she 31. Jessica had
matching leather armchairs
and discussed the prospect of
his dying on the job. He took
out life insurance and made
out a will.
As Maleah and Nolan
played on the bulldozer that
Friday night, Braden’s pager
beeped. Sparks from a vehi­
cle’s catalytic converter had
ignited tall grass near the
Savage Trading Post off High­
way 140, just 10 miles away.
The Ferguson Fire had already
burned 75 acres and was
threatening homes in Maripo­
sa and neighboring Jerseydale.
Jessica loaded a paper plate
with ribs and macaroni and
cheese. Her husband left in a
rush without kissing her
goodbye.
***
Six hours later, 3 miles
southeast of the front edge of
the Ferguson Fire, Braden
inched his bulldozer down
Hites Cove Trail in the Sierra
National Forest, a hiking path
carved out by miners more
than a century ago. The trail,
through poison oak and pine
trees made lifeless and flam­
mable by beetles, was so nar­
row that one end of his dozer’s
blade hung over the edge of
the hillside, which plummeted
more than 2,000 feet to the
South Fork of the Merced
River.
Braden liked to drown out
the scrape of brush and the
engine’s roar with music, usu­
ally Michael Jackson or 97.5
FM, the local radio station. It Courtesy the Varney family 2013

and their two children in a
one­story home inherited from
his grandparents.
Braden operated heavy
equipment for Cal Fire and
ran a side business that of­
fered customers help with
“anything dirt” — grading
roads, installing septic sys­
tems. He’d mastered the mini­
excavator as a boy and de­
signed his high school’s irriga­
tion system before graduation.
To him, moving earth was an
art. And at 36, he was proud
of what hard work had
brought him.
It was around dinnertime
when he steered into his grav­
el driveway and parked his
transport rig loaded with Doz­
to carry an umbrella to ward
off a light rain. Still, it was the
happiest day of her life.
Braden liked to joke that the
honeymoon was never going
to end. He hid Hershey’s Kiss­
es around the house for his
bride to find: in the micro­
wave, behind the coffee pot.
They had moved onto the
9­acre property where his
parents, Gordie and Lynn, also
lived. He split their home’s
large, second bedroom in half
to create a nursery.
He worked in Santa Clara
County for Cal Fire until 2012.
That was the year his father

for Cal Fire, died at age 55 of

During fire season, he
worked with Williams, 27, who
assisted Braden as his
“swamper,” bringing tools and
other supplies and at times
walking ahead of the dozer to
spot obstacles such as boul­
ders and fallen trees. Williams

first week back on duty after a
nine­month medical leave. The
previous summer, during the
Detwiler Fire in Mariposa
County, he’d torn a shoulder
muscle pushing out a log that
had jammed in his dozer blade
as flames approached.
Now it was 8:30 p.m., his
weekend beginning. His chil­
dren, 5­year­old Maleah and
3­year­old Nolan, heard his
truck’s grumble, sprinted
across the lawn and scrambled
into the dozer’s cabin.
“Daddy, where is the steer­
ing wheel?” Nolan asked.
“Bulldozers don’t have
steering wheels,” his father
responded, pointing to the
job­related colon cancer. Bra­
den took over the company
they’d run together, Varney
Grading. And he transferred
home to fill his father’s Cal
Fire spot in Mariposa. The
firefighters there had known
him since childhood, the boy
whose 72­pound pumpkin
broke records and whose high
school basketball team went
undefeated.
Whenever he returned from
the fire line, Braden swept
Jessica into hugs, his neck
smelling of salt and dust, ash
in his blond hair. He loved
what he did, so she didn’t
dwell on the danger. Once a

with boxing the Ferguson Fire

off its advance before it could

hour later, Williams headed
for Mariposa headquarters to

line for the dozer. Braden was
alone on the narrow trail.
The dozer operator position
doesn’t exist in urban fire
departments, but Cal Fire has
as many as 120 at any given
time. They play a unique role,
cutting fuel breaks ahead of

was around 8 a.m.
About an hour later, after a
helicopter crew spotted the
gleam of metal in the brush,
the younger Williams reached
the crumpled dozer. His col­
league’s body was trapped in a
vice of mashed steel. The dis­
covery was horrifying. So was
the realization that he and his
father couldn’t just pull Bra­
den out of the gully. The Fer­
guson Fire was ballooning in
size. Soon, the flames would
reach this steep canyon. There
wasn’t much time to get Bra­
den’s body out.
“The dozer operator has
sustained fatal injuries,” a
voice reported over the Cal
Fire radio. “He was pinned
in.”
* * *
Later that morning, at a city
fire station in Fresno about 75
miles south of Mariposa, word
spread of a possible assign­
ment. Cal Fire might need to
summon the station’s Urban
Search and Rescue Team in
what would be an unprece­
dented call.
The 16 members of the team
had been trained to recover
victims from urban disasters
like the World Trade Center
collapse and the Oklahoma
City bombing. They used spe­
cial tools to detect breathing
beneath rubble and to extri­
cate drivers from horrific vehi­
cle accidents. But they didn’t
have the yellow fire­resistant
suits or leather boots of wild­
land firefighters. They didn’t
report to wildfires, period. Yet
officials determined it was too
dangerous for Cal Fire to try
to retrieve Braden’s body. The
agency needed the rescue
team’s expertise.
“There was a deep sense of
duty,” said Russ Patterson, 38,
an engineer who had worked
for Fresno Fire for 14 years
and was part of the rescue
team. “We had a brother fire­
fighter that we needed to get
A15

out. Our minds and hearts are
all about getting the job done.”
As the rescue team began
packing tools and studying the
contours of a dozer like Bra­
den’s, Cal Fire arranged to
send a liaison to the Varney
home on Triangle Road.
Jessica was toasting bagels
and scrambling eggs. As sun­
light streamed through the
kitchen window, she checked
an app on her iPhone for her
husband’s location. The night
before, the blinking blue dot
marking his real­time position
had registered in Sierra Na­
tional Forest. But it had since
disappeared from the map,
replaced with “location not
available.”
Maybe his cell phone died, she
thought.
Her landline rang. It was
Jerry Lynch, a longtime friend
and employee at Braden’s
grading company. “Don’t freak
out,” he said. “I heard on the
scanner that a bulldozer
rolled.”
He picked her up in his
truck, and they headed first to
John C. Fremont Healthcare
District in Mariposa, checking
to see if Braden had been ad­
mitted to the emergency room.
Then they drove to the Cal
Fire command post off High­
way 49, 15 minutes away. A
group of eight firefighters in
crisp navy uniforms huddled
in the parking lot. They stared
at Jessica as she catapulted out
of the truck and marched
toward them. They had ex­
pected their liaison to reach
her first.
Jessica recognized Jaime
Williams, a public information
officer who was friends with
Braden.
“What do you know that I
don’t know?” Jessica said, her
pitch rising. “Tell me. Some­
one tell me.”
At first, no one said a word.
Finally, Jaime spoke. “You
brought him to the Lord,” she

whispered, pulling Jessica into
a hug.
“Jaime,” Jessica shouted,
furious. “Tell me. Tell me. Tell
me. Tell me!”
“He’s gone, Jess.”
Jessica screamed, sharp and
breathless. She didn’t register
the sound as her own.
* * *
By Sunday morning, the
Ferguson Fire had grown to
more than 1,000 acres, closing
campgrounds near Yosemite
and moving toward the can­
yon. The U.S. Forest Service
had assumed command of the
blaze, but Cal Fire was respon­
sible for retrieving their bull­
dozer driver. Fresno’s Urban
Search and Rescue Team,
having arrived in Mariposa,
understood the challenge it
faced in extricating Braden.
The specially outfitted truck
the team would normally use
for such a job, essentially an
80,000­pound rolling toolbox,
was too massive to navigate
Hites Cove Trail, much less
negotiate the final 300 feet
down the canyon to the dozer.
So they packed a duffel bag of
wrenches and screwdrivers,
lubricants and battery­pow­
ered saws. They would have to
make their way down the last
of the trail on foot and in
ATVs, then rappel down the
slope.
The crew had stopped by
the Del Ray Fire Station in
Fresno County, which had the
same model of bulldozer as
Braden’s, to examine it. They
flew a drone over Hites Cove
Trail to survey the landscape.
Capt. John Morgan, leading
operations, set up a command
post in the dirt parking lot of
an old school several miles
north of Braden’s home. Mor­
gan, a onetime farmer with a
cool demeanor, was agitated
by how much time had
passed.
“We felt like we were letting
his family down,” Morgan
said. “Braden’s family — his
wife and children, his commu­
nity as a whole — and that we
couldn’t make it to him in
time. They were waiting. Fire­
fighting is a tight community,
and you don’t leave anyone
behind.”
The Cal Fire deputy unit
chief, Mike van Loben Sels, on
vacation with his wife and
three children, booked an
early flight home from Mexico.
Other dozer operators, in­
cluding Williams, Braden’s
swamper, stationed themselves
on the hiking trail, as close to
Braden’s body as they could
get. Weary firefighters shuf­
fled back to the canyon in
their yellow Nomex suits
streaked with dirt. A day and
a half had passed since Bra­
den’s accident.
Progress was meticulous,
XXXXX
halting; everyone was impa­
tient.
“By God, we were going to
do right by Braden and his
family,” Cal Fire’s Koerperich
said. “Our job was to get him
home.”
The Fresno rescue team
hiked down the trail, leaning
on hand tools like walking
sticks, until they left the foot­
path and followed the scar the
bulldozer left on its way down
the ravine. They staggered and
zigzagged, some sliding down
on their butts.
River canyons are notorious
for extreme fire behavior
stoked by swirling air. As the
recovery effort continued that
Sunday afternoon, embers
sailed ahead of the main con­
flagration and kicked up spot
fires, forcing the team to rush
out of the canyon. They
pushed burning trees out of
the dirt path as flames jumped
the fuel break and flew over­
head. Hot ash peppered the
air. Morgan, the rescue team
leader, feared losing another
six people if they stayed.
“It was definitely a reality
check,” said Robert Garcia, 36,
one of the Fresno rescue team
firefighters. “These things
happen and we hear about
them, but actually being part
of it makes it a whole different
deal.”
At the bottom of the canyon,
the battered bulldozer was
overcome by flames.
** *
At her home on Triangle
Road, Jessica walked past the
ruts in the driveway etched by
Braden’s transport rig and
across the yard to his mother’s
home. She held Maleah’s hand.
Nolan, too young to under­
stand, played on the grass
with his cousins and his toy
tractors.
Jessica perched her 5­year­

old daughter on the couch.
Maleah looked so much like
her father when she was born
that the nurse exclaimed to
Jessica: “You gave birth to
your husband!” Maleah’s gold­
en hair spilled over her shoul­
ders and her sneakered feet
barely touched the floor.
County Sheriff Doug Binne­
wies and a Cal Fire division
chief, Bernie Quinn, stood
nearby.
“Do you guys have any prac­
tice or advice with this?” Jessi­
ca asked the officers.
The sheriff lowered his head
and didn’t say a word. I’m
going to have to do this on my
own, Jessica thought.
“Maleah,” she started. “Your
dad had a really big accident
at work. He’s not going to be
coming home.”
“Yeah,” Maleah said.
Jessica didn’t think she
understood.
“Maleah,” she tried again.
“Daddy died.”
Maleah burst into tears. So
did the liaison and the sheriff.
Then, almost as quickly, Ma­
leah’s tears dried. Soon she
was out playing on the grass
with her brother and cousins.
In the coming months, Ma­
leah would see a grief counsel­
or. She would stroke the walls
of her home, sobbing as she
looked at framed photos of her
father, remembering how he
had tied her ballet shoes be­
fore her recitals.
Her mother would take the
photos down, then hang them
back up. As Braden’s fellow
firefighters tended to the Var­
neys’ property, trimming trees,
pulling weeds and chopping
wood, Jessica would see her
husband everywhere.
She would sell off his equip­
ment, including the white,
long­bed Ford F­250 he had
specially ordered in Idaho, the
one he had let Maleah steer
down the driveway, her pink
backpack on the driver’s seat
so she could reach the steering
wheel, both of them laughing.
One winter afternoon on the
way home from kindergarten,
Maleah would see the truck at
a stoplight. She would ask: “Is
Daddy in the truck?”
* * *
Another day had passed
since the bulldozer crash. The
fire had stormed through and
moved on, but Braden was
still at the bottom of the can­
yon. Jessica desperately want­
ed his body recovered. So did
the Fresno search and rescue
team. They returned to Mari­
posa Monday morning.
By now, people around the
world had heard about the
death of the bulldozer operator
and the mission to retrieve
him. A photo of the Varneys —
Jessica and Maleah in match­
ing blue­and­white chevron
skirts, Nolan and his father
holding hands — appeared
with articles about his death.
The governor ordered flags to
be flown at half­staff in Sacra­
mento, calling Braden “a man
who dedicated his life to pro­
tecting his fellow Califor­
nians.”
Capt. Morgan had hoped to
hoist Braden’s body out by
helicopter, but smoke shroud­
ed the sky. So on Hites Cove
Trail, the team of rescuers set
out again, loading equipment
onto three all­terrain vehicles
and driving down as far as
they felt they could before
hiking the rest of the way. Two
crews of state prison inmates,
34 firefighters­in­training
ordered in from camps in Lake
and El Dorado counties, fol­
lowed them down.
The fire had left behind
only matchstick trees and
carbonized brush. The sun
baked the firefighters as they

slid down the canyon to reach
the bulldozer.
Everything inside the cab
was burned. The aluminum
radiator was a silvery puddle
on the ground. Using a bat­
tery­powered saw, the Fresno
crew sliced through the dozer
door, shooting out sparks. It
took a half hour and 10 blades.
Members of the search team
carefully extricated Braden’s
remains, placing them in a
body bag along with a few of
his charred possessions. They
tucked the bag into a 7­foot­
long Stokes basket — a cupped
metal brace used in rescue
operations — and covered it
with an American flag. A Mer­
ced firefighter salvaged the
bulldozer’s metal handle,
which Braden had used to
hoist himself into the cabin,
zipping it into his backpack to
give to Jessica.
The rescue team slid the
flag­draped basket onto a met­
al backboard and secured it
with an orange rope. The men
stood in two lines on the hill­
side extending up to the trail
— 34 inmates in orange, 41
firefighters in yellow — and
passed Braden’s basket from
hand to hand, until his body
reached the path. Then they
scrambled up the hillside after
him.
As the basket then made its
way up the widened trail, they
lined up along both sides,
shedding their helmets. One
firefighter played “Amazing
Grace” on his cell phone, the
bagpiped strains echoing
through the canyon from a
small Bluetooth speaker. For
three minutes, they stopped to
pay tribute to their lost col­
league as his body passed
among them.
Firefighters saluted with
shaking hands and sweat
streaking their faces. Many
cried. Facing Braden’s death
meant facing their own mor­
tality, and the growing risk
that came with their jobs.
Williams, Braden’s assis­
tant, helped slide the basket
into the bed of a white utility
truck. He crouched beside the
basket, his hands gripping the
flag, as the blackened land­
scape gave way to green forest
and gray highway. He hadn’t
left the canyon since the morn­
ing he’d found his friend.
The truck, driven by Wil­
liams’ father, would serve as a
hearse, taking the body to the
coroner’s office in Modesto.
But first, it passed through
Mariposa. More than 1,000
people lined the roadsides,
waving flags and clutching
hand­drawn posters.
They had been waiting for
Braden to come home.

SPORTS ECONOMICS

On the waterfront?
Yes: Let’s seize
chance to keep
A’s in Oakland
By Burt Boltuch

O
akland is losing two of its three
professional sports teams. If
we don’t come together as a
community and support the building
of a new baseball stadium at Howard
Terminal, we face the real risk of los­
ing our last team, the Athletics.
It makes no sense that, in the last
decade, as Oakland’s economy, pop­
ulation and cultural influence have
grown, that we may soon have no
sports teams.
But putting sentimentality aside, a
key reason to keep the A’s in Oakland
is economic.
The proposed Howard Terminal
ballpark would be privately financed,
with no Oakland or state taxpayer
dollars. With the legitimate criticism
of municipalities using hundreds of
millions of taxpayer dollars to sub­
sidize stadiums, the fact the new A’s

a worldwide commercial shipping
destination. Over 150 years, we have
built the Port of Oakland into the eco­
nomic linchpin for the city of Oakland
and the undeniable center of gravity of
international trade for the San Francis­
co Bay Area and all of northern Cali­
fornia. According to a 2018 study, the
Oakland seaport supports some 27,000
jobs and $2.4 billion in personal in­

state and local tax revenues.
But its future commercial success is
not inevitable. Now that the Oakland
A’s are pushing their proposed hous­
ing/office/hotel/stadium project at the
port via an onslaught of slick PR and
constant lobbying, the threats to the
existing operations at the port and to
long­term growth on Oakland’s water­
front have been laid bare.
The A’s have done their best to cre­
ate an aura of inevitably around their
pact of the proposed development on
port operations.
State legislators and their staffs have
so far shut down the lobbying efforts
by the A’s to undermine the juris­
diction of the State Lands Commis­
sion, which as of now remains in con­
trol of the site.
The Bay Conservation and Devel­
opment Commission rejected a request
for sign­off on amendments to the A’s
state legislation that would have lim­
ited its own discretion over the project.
And, Oakland City Council mem­
bers recently expressed their own
desire to ensure that the proposed
project be fully analyzed with respect
to all transportation infrastructure,
maritime industry impacts, and the
financial exposure to the city — not to
mention their desire to slow down
both the A’s acquisition of rights to the
Coliseum and their simultaneous (and
sadly ironic) abandonment of a stadi­
um option in East Oakland.
The Coliseum complex in East Oakland is surrounded by vast parking lots
that could provide opportunities for development, with or without a ballpark.
So what’s next? According to the
A’s, they still expect a draft environ­
mental impact report to be published
in a matter of months, and for the first
pitch to be thrown in a new stadium
by 2023.
Given the litany of outstanding con­
cerns yet to be substantively ad­
dressed, everyone involved knows that
this timeline is virtually impossible if
the environmental review is to be done
properly. Instead of rushing headlong
into a facially incomplete review, the
City of Oakland should pump the
brakes, follow the Port of Oakland’s
lead, and take a deeper dive into the
myriad of issues and risks that this
enormous mixed­use real estate project
poses.
As we see this fight, it is the Oak­
land maritime community that is fight­
ing to protect, grow, and invest in the
City of Oakland’s economy and work­
force. In contrast, the A’s just keep
holding their my­way­or­the­highway
and no­plan­B threats of leaving town
over everyone’s head. Policymakers
need to stand up to the hostage­taking
and do what’s right by the city, its
citizens, its port, and its deep­rooted
partners in the maritime community.
Besides, if the A’s cannot stomach a
proper environmental review, true due
diligence, and an honest and thorough
project evaluation on a reasonable
timeline without the team’s leadership
feeling the need to threaten to leave
town, then won’t it be patently obvious
who’s actually “rooted” in Oakland
after all?

She got a helping hand and gave one in return
T
his spring — as federal prosecu­
tors announced charges against
wealthy Californians who paid
bribes to get their kids into elite universi­
ties — a poor kid from a poor town faced
her own dilemma: How could she help
others go to college?
Fabiola Moreno Ruelas, an 18­year­old
from Gonzales in the Salinas Valley, was
perhaps California’s most unlikely phi­
lanthropist. She had suffered much of
California’s worst, from her father’s
deportation to her family’s eviction from
their home.
But when Fabiola received $29,000 on
her 18th birthday, she knew she didn’t
want to spend it on herself.
This is not just a story about a schol­
arship program. It’s a fable about pover­
ty and community. And it’s an updating
of advice from another Salinas Valley
child, John Steinbeck: “If you're in trou­
ble or hurt or need — go to poor people.
They're the only ones that'll help — the
only ones.”
Fabiola, born in Salinas, moved to
Gonzales, 20 minutes south, when she
was two. In selection of a hometown, at
least, she would prove lucky.
Gonzales is home to 10,000 people,
few of them rich (median household
income is $53,000) or well­educated (10%
of adults hold college degrees. But Gon­

wo words came to mind as I
listened to the final question in
Thursday night’s Democratic
debate, when ABC’s George Stephano­
poulos asked the 10 candidates for an
example of their resiliency.
Humility. Vulnerability.
The reporters who have followed
them on campaign trail had probably
heard some of those stories before, and
rolled their eyes, here we go again. But
to hear them in succession was a stark
contrast with the nonstop self­aggran­
dizement and absence of introspection
that permeates the 45th president of
the United States.
It was refreshing, even heartening, to
hear politicians who were willing to
admit they are human. They could
have taken the question as a cue to an
exaggerated rags­to­riches story. In­
stead, they spoke of the genuine pain
and uncertainty of their lowest mo­
ments.
Joe Biden spoke of losing his wife,
young daughter and then adult son;
Elizabeth Warren of bouncing back
after dropping out of college; Kamala
Harris of the lessons from her mother;
Andrew Yang of his failed first move as
an entrepreneur; Beto O’Rourke of his
dealing with the gun massacre in his
hometown; and, most poignantly and
extensively, Amy Klobuchar of how she
was motivated into public service from

ments grandly; recently the city posted
banners of Gonzales High graduates and
the colleges they are attending this fall.
As Fabiola’s family struggled, she
found that people in Gonzales were
reliably there to help — with clothes,
schools supplies, and help signing up for
food stamps. The community also
helped her get through major difficul­
ties, from her dad’s deportation to the
eviction after her sophomore year.
Before the eviction, she had been an
indifferent student, but education, she
realized, was the only thing free in her
life, so she better to take advantage of it.
the experiences of her father’s battle
with alcoholism and the fight to keep
her ailing newborn daughter from
being kicked out of the hospital.
“I feel like everyone should have that
same right, to be pursued by grace,”
she said of her father’s second chance
through treatment.
Grace is not a word that comes up
readily in the cynicism of this polarized
era.
A few other takeaways from the
debate:
Half the candidates, twice the sub­
stance: The winnowing of the field to
10 on one stage, one night, offered a
chance to finally compare the leading
contenders. The exchanges on health
care were particularly revealing, draw­
ing the contrast between the advocates
of unalloyed Medicare for All (Warren,
Sanders) and those supporting a more
incremental advancement from Oba­
macare, most notably Biden. The for­
mer vice president got off his best line
of the night when Sanders suggested
that employers who saved money un­
der his plan would return the savings
to workers in wages. “For a socialist,
you’ve got a lot more confidence in
corporate America than I do,” Biden
told Sanders.

No one in her family had completed
college, but she applied to San Diego
State, and was admitted, with $13,000 in
scholarships. But she would need $5,000
to pay living expenses, and she didn’t
have it. Where would she get the money?
Gonzales would supply the answer.
The town has a tradition of local citizens
starting small scholarship funds. The

social­media criticism — for what ap­
peared to be a shot at the 76­year­old
Biden’s age. “Are you forgetting what
you said two 2 minutes ago?” Castro
said, pressing the refrain. “Not cool ...
so personal and so unnecessary,” Klo­
buchar said. Castro has since insisted it
was not about age, but the damage was
done: He’s on the defensive, which is no
place for a single­digit candidate to be
after a debate.
For the most part, the debate re­
mained civil, especially in comparison
with the 2016 insult­a­thon (about
looks, hand size, stamina, height, in­

primary debates.

When she turned 18 during her fresh­
man year in San Diego, she received a
$29,000 settlement from the freshman
year auto accident. With that windfall,
Fabiola considered starting a business or
buying her mother a house. But she felt
she needed to give back to the communi­
ty that had supported her. So she set up a
scholarship program like the one that
had helped her.
Thirty applications came in, and in
March Fabiola awarded her first schol­
arships — $500 each to four students.
She says she selected applicants who
showed great resilience. She will make
new awards next year.
“I was a little selfless in thinking about
this money, but everyone in Gonzales
was very selfless in helping me growing
up,” she says.
When I asked Fabiola about the col­
lege admissions scandal, she expressed
puzzlement. Wouldn’t those rich parents
have been better off if they’d given their
money to scholarships for those who
can’t afford college?
In that answer lies a parable about two

EDITORIAL The I’s Have It

An inquiry and an obligation

F
rom the moment Democrats
became a majority in a divided
Congress under a compromised
presidency, the foremost question fac­
ing them has been whether to impeach
the president. So what’s their answer?
Don’t ask them.
Even as the Judiciary Committee
made the most decisive move yet to­
ward impeachment by approving in­
vestigative procedures last week, the
Democrats were about as unified on
the subject as one might expect —
which is to say not remotely. After all,
the majority ranges from centrists
trying to triangulate a political path
through Trump’s America to old­guard
urban liberals and the fire­tweeting
leftists threatening to replace them.
Asked in the wake of Thursday’s
committee vote to explain where the
caucus stands on what President
Trump has called the “I­word,” San
Francisco’s own Nancy Pelosi — ever
mindful of the moderates who restored
her to the speakership — noted that
impeachment is (no kidding) “a very
divisive measure.” She soon divided
herself from the press corps after cut­
ting off further discussion of impeach­
ment and a couple of other I­words,
telling reporters, “I’m not answering
any more questions on possible in­
quiries, investigations and the rest.”
Earlier, the Judiciary Committee
chairman, New York’s Jerry Nadler,
took an I for an I. “Some call this pro­
cess an impeachment inquiry; some
call it an impeachment investigation,”
he said. “There is no legal difference
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mostly fended off questions about a “very
divisive” impeachment at her weekly news conference in Washington.
between these terms, and I no longer
care to argue about nomenclature. But
what we are doing is carrying on an
inquiry — an investigation — as to
whether to recommend ... articles of
impeachment against the president.”
It was a sore subject all week. The
day before Judiciary’s vote, Pelosi’s
second in command, Maryland Rep.
Steny Hoyer, muddled Nadler’s mes­
sage by asserting that there was no
impeachment inquiry. He later revised
and extended his remarks, saying he
meant only that the full House was not
considering articles of impeachment.
J. Scott Applewhite / Associated Press
Another member of the leadership,
New York’s Hakeem Jeffries, tried to
avoid the issue by declaring his refusal
to “get caught in semantics,” though it
seemed late for that.
The opposite party sensed disarray
but didn’t seem much more methodical
in its criticism. Judiciary’s ranking
Republican, Doug Collins of Georgia,
accused Democrats of believing “words
don’t matter” and then set out to prove
as much with a series of bewildering
analogies, proclaiming the majority to
be “lost in impeachment Oz” while
applying a “giant Instagram filter to
make it appear that something is hap­
pening that is not.” Another committee
Republican, Sacramento area Rep. Tom
McClintock, ventured to “double dog
dare” the Democrats to pursue im­
peachment with more conviction.
The Judiciary Committee has been
on the record as conducting an im­
peachment investigation in court fil­
ings dating to July, however, and the
resolution passed along party lines last
week states plainly that it concerns an
“investigation to determine whether to
recommend articles of impeachment
with respect to President Donald J.
Trump.” Similar steps preceded im­
peachment inquiries regarding Richard
Nixon and Bill Clinton, though in those
cases — as Republicans were keen to
emphasize — the full House voted to
authorize the committee’s inquiry.
Procedure and politics aside, Trump
has provided no shortage of prospec­
tive high crimes and misdemeanors.
The House majority is rightly consider­
ing not only his broad­daylight ob­
struction of Special Counsel Robert
Mueller’s investigation but also his
vigorous stonewalling of Congress; his
role in the campaign finance crimes
that covered up his alleged extramar­
ital affairs; and his constitutionally
suspect enrichment through U.S. and
foreign officials’ use of his hotels and
resorts. Under such circumstances,
Democrats should be less worried
about admitting they’re considering
impeachment and more concerned
about creating the impression that they
aren’t.

Find other open spaces than golf course to eliminate

Regarding “Shoes, bike, skates make
49­mile trip a scenic treat” (Bay Aream
Sept. 8): Heather Knight finds it “con­
founding” that the city supports the
163­acre Harding Park golf course (lo­
cated on the scenic drive) when “teach­
ers, nurses, and firefighters can’t afford
to live here.”
Why is she confounded by a golf
course and not other publicly owned
recreational facilities? Why not build
affordable housing on our soccer fields,
playgrounds and parks? There is a lot of
open space in Golden Gate Park, after
all. The fact is, eliminating our precious
recreational facilities — including a
world­renowned golf course that has
hosted several professional events, not
to mention next year’s Professional
Golfers Association Championship —
will make the city poorer, but not neces­
sarily more affordable.
Rocky Unruh, San Francisco
Early endorsement
Regarding “Why, how we make elec­
tion endorsements” (John Diaz, Insight,
Sept. 8): Thank you for explaining the
how and the why of this newspaper’s
process for making endorsements of
local candidates and ballot measures.
Here’s a question about the when of an
endorsement:
Although the 2020 presidential elec­
tion is still over one year away, is it too
soon to endorse whoever the Demo­
cratic Party nominee is on behalf of the
many Chronicle readers (and millions of
citizens) who are exhausted by the
seemingly endless malicious deeds and
mendacious words of the 45th U.S.
president?
Jennifer Erickson­James, San Francisco
Legislative memories
Regarding “Deeply deficient” (Edito­
rial, Sept. 5): Your revealing criticism of
California Insurance Commissioner
Ricardo Lara evoked legislative memo­
ries. First, that public office should
never be an elected one.
Electing a state Insurance Commis­
sioner creates corrupting campaign
contributions. California’s governor
should appoint the Insurance Commis­
sioner, subject to State Senate confirma­
tion.
In the 1990s, my legislation to prohib­
it Insurance Commissioner candidates
from receiving insurance industry cam­
paign contributions failed in the State
Senate. With Lara’s demonstration of
soft corruption, why hasn’t such leg­
islation been even reintroduced?
Quentin Kopp, San Francisco
Remove corrupt leaders
Regarding “Feds rev up battle on
setting fuel rules” (Page One, Sept. 7):
To everyone who doesn’t vote because
you think it doesn’t matter, read this
article. Automakers know that their
products contribute to the decline in
quality of the world’s air and water
through the extraction and burning of
fossil fuels. And four of them stepped
up and agreed with California’s decision
to continue to move toward better gas
mileage, in spite of the White House’s
decision to go backward. Kudos to those
automakers. And the White House’s
response to this? To abuse its power and
hijack antitrust laws to punish these
companies for adopting policies it
doesn’t like.
We the people, or at least those of us
who breathe air and drink water, must
vote and use our power to remove cor­
rupt leaders and the toadies they ap­
point and instead elect people with
integrity. Our lives and our planet de­
pend on it.
Holly Hadlock, Mill Valley
Culture of terrorism
The writer of “I’m an NRA member
— not a terrorist” (Open Forum, Sept. 9)
shows that you can’t label a group in
general without a member of that group
taking it personally and, ahem, getting
all up in arms about it. The writer does
illustrate that when our common laws
and enforcement agencies do not pro­
tect us — all of us — adequately, people
will create self­defense solutions that
help them feel safer. If people then feel
personally attacked for wanting to feel
safe or feel in personal control of their
lives, they may become deaf to logic or
reason when we argue for the common
good. Meanwhile, we live under leader­
ship that has fostered and protected a
growth industry of unregulated, one­
man modern armies who act according
to personal impulse.
That, my friends, is a culture of do­
mestic terrorism. And it’s not just the
National Rifle Association. It’s in our
national DNA. We have a lot of work to
do.
Marilyn Bancel, San Francisco
Classes for seniors
Regarding “Senior playground” (Let­
ters, Sept. 8): I can’t speak for any other
cities, but there is a great resource for
seniors in San Francisco: San Francisco
Recreation and Park. Its www.sfrec­
park.org leads you to its seasonal cata­
log of classes all over the city.
San Francisco libraries also carry the
catalog. The catalog includes loads of
activities and exercise programs for
seniors. Classes include jewelry mak­
ing, belly dancing fitness, low­impact
aerobics and Tai Chi. Most classes are
free. I love my Physical Conditioning for
Active Seniors class. Check it out!

Property crime rates high Pledge of $1,000 a month

in S.F. — but arrests low pays dividends for Yang
PHIL MATIER San Francisco has by far the highest prop­
erty crime rate in California, with more than
twice the number of reported thefts per capita
than Los Angeles or Santa Clara counties,
according to a new report by the Public Policy
Institute of California.
And when it comes to arrests, San Francis­
co is 50th out of the state’s 58 counties.
Statewide police records reviewed by the
PPIC show San Francisco averaged a whop­
ping 5,844 property crimes per 100,000 resi­
dents per year from 2014 to 2016, the last peri­
od for which detailed arrest data are available.

made no arrests and told me
they have no updates in the
case. Johnson doesn’t know
who shot her son or why. She
doesn’t know whether the
gunman might come after her
or Day’Von’s older brother.
“None of it makes sense.
Thugs get killed the way my
son got killed, not 15­year­old
boys who didn’t do anything
to anybody,” said Johnson, 33.
“I just lost one baby. I have
to protect the other one.”
That’s her single­minded
focus right now — and so she
won’t go home to the apart­
ment in the Bernal Dwellings
public housing development
she’s rented since 2014. But
where does a low­income
mom fleeing violence go in a
real estate market that’s tight
and stressful for everybody,
even those with money and
time to search?
For now, she and her re­
maining son and husband are
in hiding, staying in the third
Bay Area hotel since Day­
’Von’s death, each night paid
for by a short­term crisis
fund from the Department of
Public Health. The funds
were supposed to have been
cut off by now, but Supervi­
sor Hillary Ronen has negoti­
ated extensions as the family
searches frantically for some­
thing more long term.
“He’ll move with us just
like family, wherever we go,”
Johnson said, nodding to the
urn resting next to her.
Moving into the Bernal
Dwellings unit on Day’Von’s
11th birthday had been a
dream for Johnson after the
sometimes nightmarish expe­
rience of living in the rough­
er Sunnydale and Hunters
Point public housing devel­
opments. She finally had a
washing machine and carpet
and could walk outside with­
out hearing gunshots, she
said.
Transferring to a different
development within the trou­
bled San Francisco Housing
Authority is challenging, es­
pecially now. Its properties
are slowly transitioning to
nonprofit management, but
five of them, including Bernal
Dwellings, haven’t yet made
the switch. So the Housing
Authority has far fewer
apartments to offer than it
used to for a tenant needing
urgently to move.
The agency did find a unit
for Johnson in a public hous­
ing development in Hayes
Valley, one of the five still
under its control, but Johnson
said she’d feel no safer there.
What Johnson really wants
when she thinks deeply about
it is to leave the city altogeth­
er. She’s seen too many rela­
tives and friends killed or
injured by guns, and she is
tired of it.
The Housing Authority
used to offer Section 8
vouchers to tenants facing an
emergency, which they could
use to pay private landlords
for apartments outside the
city. But after years of the
Housing Authority’s gross
financial mismanagement, the
U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development,
which funds the agency, in
March ordered the city to
take it over. The Housing
Authority is essentially frozen
as the takeover proceeds, and
there are no vouchers to give.
But Johnson can’t afford an
apartment without help. She
worked in a homeless shelter
until Day’Von’s death, and
her husband worked for a
relative’s car repair business,
but both aren’t working now,
too traumatized to do much
of anything.
“My fuse is very short,”
Johnson said. “I’m angry. I
don’t have a lot of compas­
sion.”
Ronen has been trying to
come up with solutions; she
initially considered creating a
city fund to help victims of
Photos by Heather Knight / The Chronicle
Sha’ray Johnson hon­
ors her son Day’Von
Lorall Hann, 15, who
was slain in July. She
fears Day­Von’s killer
will track her down
in public housing.
“None of it
makes sense.
Thugs get killed
the way my son
got killed, not
15­year­old
boys who didn’t
do anything
to anybody.”
Sha’ray Johnson, who has
moved her family out
of their home out of fear
violence move, but realized
that could get very expensive
if the city was on the hook
for paying for market­rate
apartments indefinitely.
Now, she’s looking at creat­
ing a preference for victims
of violence in apartment
buildings that have Section 8
vouchers tied to their units or
expanding the health depart­
ment’s crisis fund.
“We need to broaden the
options,” Ronen said. “We
know this is going to happen
again, so we want to be
ahead of the game.”
Johnson is devastated, but
she lights up when talking
about Day’Von and showing
off pictures of the handsome
6­foot, 3­inch boy with a keen
fashion sense and huge smile.
He was a social butterfly,
“someone who makes sure
everybody is happy, who
says, ‘Your problems are my
problems,’ ” she said. He cut
his friends’ hair. He wanted
to play major league baseball
or start a clothing line.
“All I wanted was my son
to go to college,” she said.
“All I wanted was for my
sons to be self­sufficient — to
not need a woman, but to
only want one, to cook for
themselves, to do laundry.”
Her husband isn’t the boys’
biological father, and she
raised them largely by her­
self. She tried to give them
experiences most kids in
public housing don’t get —
like going kayaking and in­
door skydiving. She encour­
aged them to do well in
school, be polite and visit
their grandmother.
She set aside Sundays as
family days, hustling to finish
her chores on Saturdays so
she’d have nothing to do but
hang out with her boys.
“We start off our week
solid, and we’re OK,” she
said.
She set a 9 p.m. curfew for
the boys, but on the night of
July 7, she and her husband
were helping her ill mother
in Oakland, and the boys
went out later than they were
supposed to for food. Day­
’Von never made it back.
“As a mother, I feel like I
failed because my baby is not
here,” she said, crying.
Finally, a week ago, John­
son got some long­overdue
good news. She has a vouch­
er and can use it to pay for
an apartment outside San
Francisco. She doesn’t want
to say where she’s headed for
safety reasons, but she’s leav­
ing town.
Tonia Lediju, who was
appointed by Mayor London
Breed to lead the takeover of
the Housing Authority, se­
cured the voucher after meet­
ing with Johnson.
“I’m quite proud we were
able to meet her needs,” Ledi­
ju said, noting that while the
voucher program is tech­
nically frozen, vouchers are
still available in emergencies
and on a case­by­case basis.
“We will pay our neighboring
county wherever she goes.”
The Housing Authority has
long been known for dismiss­
ing tenants’ complaints and
concerns — including rats,
mold, broken plumbing and
busted elevators. But no
more, Lediju promised.
“I’m committed to being
customer­oriented and getting
to a ‘yes’ — getting to a place
where our tenants feel cared
for,” she said.

Clues sought in Oakland food seller’s killing
By Pete Grieve,
Megan Cassidy and
Michael Cabanatuan
The Oakland street
food community is
mourning the death by
stray bullet of Martha
Casiano­Ventura, who
grew a tamale business
from a one­woman push­
cart at a street corner in
the Fruitvale into a pop­
ular food truck and mar­
ket stand operation that
was a staple at events
such as First Fridays in
Oakland.
Officers found Casia­
no­Ventura, a 44­year­old
mother of five, suffering
from a gunshot wound on
the 2100 block of East
22nd Street around 12:53
a.m. Sept. 2, police said.
She was transported to a
hospital, where she died.
Last week, police asked
for the public’s help in
identifying a suspect and
vehicle wanted in connec­
tion with the killing.
Police released a grainy
image of a suspect in the
shooting, which they say
happened as Casiano­
Ventura was walking
with her husband on the
street.
In the tight­knit com­
munity of Oakland street
vendors, Casiano­Ventu­
ra is remembered as an
expert tamale maker who
worked tirelessly to build
a street business that was
her life’s passion.
Casiano­Ventura was
known for her involve­
ment in the movement
that legalized street vend­
ing. When she got started
selling food from her
pushcart, police were
constantly harassing
unauthorized food ven­
dors, those who knew her
said.
“They used to throw
tamales in the trash. It
was very aggressive po­

licing back then, and the
city was aggressive, too,”
said Emilia Otero, CEO of
La Placita, a commercial
kitchen that supports
street vendors through
permitting processes and
other obstacles.
Casiano­Ventura at­
tended marches and
protests and went to City
Hall with other food
vendors to demand that
the health department
allow vending on the
street, said Otero, who
led the movement that
ultimately got the Oak­
land City Council to pass
an ordinance legalizing
street vending in 2001.
Otero met Casiano­Ven­
tura nearly 20 years ago
when Casiano­Ventura
was very poor, having to
leave a hard life in Mexico
to relocate in California.
“She was one of those
people that really wanted
to do better for her kids,”
Otero said. “She used to
tell me that she didn’t
want them to need any­
thing.”
Friends remember
Casiano­Ventura’s go­to
greeting when she ran
into other women at mar­
kets: “Hola manita!”
Rain or shine, Casiano­
Ventura set up shop every
weekend for the past 13
years at Saturday far­
mers’markets in Hay­
ward and Sunday mar­
kets in San Francisco,
said Andy Naja­Riese, an
official with the Agricul­
tural Institute of Marin,
the organization that puts
on those markets.
“People would line up
for her handmade pupu­
sas and breakfast burri­
tos,” he said. “She was
just loved by the commu­
nity, by shoppers, by
staff, by the farmers that
were at our markets. She
really cared about her
business and her custom­

Casiano­Ventura had at
least two business names:
Tamales Martha and
Martha’s Tacos. She
cooked tacos, burritos,
pupusas, tortas, tamales
and made aguas frescas.
Shelly Garza, a consul­
tant with La Placita who
gave administrative assis­
tance to Casiano­Ventu­
ra’s business, said Casia­
no­Ventura was an in­
spiration to her as a hard­
working businesswoman.
“You could really see
she was enjoying her life
and loving what she was
doing, and to see her life
cut short is just so diffi­
cult,” she said. “This is a
hard one for us, especial­

Suspected Fitbit killer
dies at 91
The case of a 91­year­
old murder suspect who
was nabbed by the vic­
tim’s Fitbit will never
make it to trial after the
man died in custody last
week.
Tony Aiello, who was
arrested last year in the
death of his 67­year­old
stepdaughter, was pro­
nounced dead at 6:12 p.m.
Tuesday at Valley Medi­
cal Center in San Jose.
Aiello had been awaiting

The nonagenarian
made national headlines
after his arrest, in which
San Jose police used step­
daughter Karen Navarra’s
Fitbit to link Aiello to her
Sept. 8, 2018, death. Na­
varra, a pharmacy tech­
nician, was discovered
days after she failed to
show up for work.
Police at the time said
Navarra’s death appeared
to be staged as a suicide.
She was found slumped
over in her chair, holding
a large kitchen knife, with
a gaping slit in her neck.
But an autopsy revealed
multiple deep wounds to
Navarra’s head and face,
which doctors said
couldn’t have been self­
inflicted.
Aiello, who was mar­
ried to Navarra’s mother,
told investigators that he
had visited Navarra on
Sept. 8 to bring her pizza
and he saw her drive by
his own home a few
hours later with someone
else in the car.
But police said Aiello’s
version of events didn’t
square with security
footage and data from
Navarra’s Fitbit, a wrist­
band device that tracks
fitness data such as steps
and heart rate. Video
cameras from nearby
homes captured Aiello’s
car at his stepdaughter’s
home during the time
period Navarra’s heart
rate spiked and then
plummeted.
Recalled judge fired
from school tennis gig
The judge who was
recalled over his sentenc­
ing of a Stanford Univer­
sity swimmer convicted
of sexual assault has lost
another job.
Aaron Persky, a former
Santa Clara County Supe­
rior Court judge who was
B3
recalled by Santa Clara
County voters in June
2018, was recently hired
to coach a girls tennis
team at Lynbrook High
School in San Jose, but he
was removed from the job
Wednesday after com­
plaints from parents,
students and alumni.
Persky’s sentencing of
Brock Turner to six
months in jail — after the
then­19­year­old Stanford
swimmer was convicted
of digitally penetrating
and attempting to rape a
drunken and uncon­
scious woman on campus
— drew outrage from
advocates for sexual
assault victims. The re­
call of Persky was the
first in California in 86
years.
Attention given to the
case also led the Leg­
islature to change the
definition of rape to in­
clude “unlawful penetra­
tion by any object.”
Fremont Union High
School District, which
includes Lynbrook High
School, announced Per­
sky’s dismissal in a state­
ment Wednesday.
“We believe this out­
come is in the best in­
terest of our students and
school community,” offi­
cials said. “The district
will begin the search for a
new coach immediately.”
Persky issued his own
statement saying that he
was disappointed, but “it
was a privilege to coach
the team, if only for a
short time.”

Phil W. Arnold
April 17, 1945 - September 6, 2019
On Friday, September
6th, 2019, Phil Arnold,
loving husband and father,
died at the age of 74 after
a courageous year-long
struggle with pancreatic
cancer. Phil was born on
April 17th, 1945, in Alam-
eda, California to Maurine
and Harold Arnold. After
growing up in Long Beach,
California, he received
his Bachelor’s Degree in
History from Stanford
University and his Doctorate
in Political Science from the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison before settling in
San Francisco.
Phil married his wife of
33 years, Monique Zmuda,
on May 4, 1986. In addition
to Daniel, Phil’s son from
a prior marriage, they wel-
comed their children Paul,
Adrienne and Misha into the
world. Their lives were filled
with family and friends,
travel and laughter, and a
devotion to their city and its
people of all walks of life.
For the majority of Phil’s ac-
complished professional life
he worked for the City and
County of San Francisco,
advocating for parks and
recreation, open space and
disadvantaged residents.
His career began as a prin-
cipal analyst at Harvey Rose
Corporation working for
the Board of Supervisors,
and later spanned 11 years
at the Recreation and Parks
Department as Assistant
General Manager, including
serving as Acting Director
of the San Francisco Zoo.
He then spent 5 years at the
Public Utilities Commission
as a Financial Planner and
finished his distinguished
career with 12 years at the
Human Services Agency as
the Chief Financial Officer
and Deputy Director for
Finance and Administra-
tion. He was a mentor for
many in the financial, social
justice and environmental
fields. After his retirement

Lorrie Baker died peace-
fully on August 20th at her
home in Oakland, sur-
rounded by family, after a
brief and sudden recurrence
of cancer. She is mourned
by Richard Caplin of San
Francisco, her partner
across five decades, her
family, as well as by many
friends, neighbors, and col-
leagues. She will be missed
more than any words can
capture.
Baker was a graduate of
Fresno State College and
she went on to earn a Mas-
ter’s degree in Education.
She was a gifted, lifelong
primary school teacher
who brought her talents for
nurturing, compassion, and
joy into her decades of ser-
vice to Oakland’s Lakeview
Elementary School and to
the many organizations with
which she volunteered.
She is survived by Caplin,

Gilroy and Byron Laursen
Norman F. Duffy
Norman passed away
peacefully on August 27th.
He is survived by his two

Roof was truly memorable.
She listened to all genres
of music and attended
many concerts. She enjoyed
reading and going to the
movies. Demie was a dedi-
cated San Francisco 49ers
fan and went to a Super
Bowl in New Orleans with
her godparents. She was an
avid traveler. Her around-
the-world adventures
brought her to two Olympic
Games, India, Greece, and
most recently France and
the Blue Lagoon in Iceland.
But ultimately Demie was
drawn to Hawaii where she
had a vacation home in
Volcano on the Big Island
and spent many years there.
Demie loved animals and
was comforted by the time
she had with her cats Diva &
Haley and her Miniature Bull
Terrier Buzz.
Demie’s smile lit up
a room. She was such a
thoughtful listener and so
enjoyed being with her
family and friends. And
while she was challenged
by several difficult illnesses
throughout her adult life,
she was always a coura-
geous and gentle soul.
We are heartbroken but
comforted knowing our
beautiful Demie passed
away in her mother’s arms
and is in heaven singing
with the angels. She is
reunited with her father
Sam who passed away just
two months before her.
We will miss and love her
forever and she will never
be forgotten. Rest in peace
our sweet Demie.

comfortably at home in
Santa Rosa. The cancer he
fought bravely for years
suddenly rose up to rob him
of more time and to swiftly
steal him from us.
The embrace of his warm
and caring personality,
infectious sense of humor,
storytelling prowess, curious
intellect, keen integrity,
and steadfast support of
his family and friends (and
pets!) won the hearts of
everyone he encountered.
While he was a constant
source of delight, courtesy,
and fun on the outside, the
strength and true depth
of his character shone in-
wardly, as he met, managed,
and endured an onslaught
of personal and profound
challenges with silent,
unfaltering, heroic courage,
grace, perseverance, and
acceptance.
“Courage doesn’t always
roar.
Sometimes courage is the
quiet
Voice at the end of the
day saying,
‘I will try again
tomorrow.’”
(M A Radmacher)
Born in Honolulu, HI, the
third child to parents Harold
(Harlo) Garfield Dillingham
and Mary Cooke Dilling-
ham, Ted attended Hana
Hanahau’oli School (1947-
55) and Punahou School
(1955-58), then graduated
in 1962 from high school at
Desert Sun in Idyllwild, CA.
In 1966, Ted graduated
from Franklin & Marshall
College in Lancaster, PA.,
with a B.A. in Economics.
He was a member of the
Chi Phi fraternity, and an
accomplished goalie on the
Varsity Lacrosse team.
His scholarly pursuits over
five years at Pacifica Gradu-
ate Institute in Santa Bar-
bara earned him a Doctor of
Philosophy in Mythological
Studies, with an emphasis in
Depth Psychology in 2001.
His dissertation is titled,
The Uses of Myth for Scien-
tific Education; The Case of
Cosmology and Mythology.
Among his diverse inter-
ests and involvements was
serving as a former Director
of the Joseph Campbell
Foundation. He shared
his “Stories of the Stars”
at Esalen Institute’s annual
Joseph Campbell Birthday
commemorations, and

Theodore (Tito) Edward
Dziensuwski
Mar 19, 1949 - Aug 30, 2019
Tito Dziensuwski passed
away on August 30, 2019.
Tito was born in Kentucky
to Janet and Theodore
Dziensuwski. . Growing up
in a military family, he lived
in France for a time before
his parents settled in Mt.
Holly, New Jersey. Tito
played on the Rancocas
Valley Regional High School
baseball team and gradu-
ated with honors from that
school in 1967. He went on
to study at Temple Univer-
sity in Philadelphia.
He lived briefly in Tucson,
Arizona before relocating
to San Francisco, California,
where he worked as a bar-
tender at the Bacchus Kirk
and then as a taxi driver
until the time of his death.
Tito was preceded in
death by his father, younger
sister Jean, and mother. He
is survived by his brother
Joseph, sister Janet Stodter,
wherever an audience was
lucky enough to be outside
at night with him. He was
an avid traveler; Paris was a
favorite destination where
he practiced his French! His
adventurous and contempla-
tive spirit found him on the
Chemin de St. Jacques in
France. He was a supporter
of the arts and a wide
reader of literature. The
Grand National Quail Club
claims him as a member.
Ted never let anyone
think of him as a childhood
polio “victim”, mainly be-
cause he refused to view his
past afflictions as obstacles.
In spite of some residual
limitation, he excelled in
myriad physical activities,
whether in the water (he
loved to swim in the ocean
and was a qualified scuba
diver) or on the ground (it
was only in his last 5-6 years
of his life’s journey that he
added a cane to facilitate
his gait).
He is survived by his son,
Casey Montague Dilling-
ham, sister Catherine Hyde
(Heidi) Carlson, sister-in-
law, Lina Jean Dillingham,
step-daughter Heather
McGibbon, many cousins,
numerous nieces and neph-
ews and their children, and
countless devoted friends
far and near. He was prede-
ceased by his beloved wife,
Phyllis Jackson, brother
Kenneth Henley Dillingham,
and his parents.
His final earthly desti-
nation is the Dillingham
Mausoleum, designed by
his grandmother, Margaret
Bayard (Hyde-Smith) Dill-
ingham, at the Valley of the
Temples on Oahu, HI.
A private memorial will be
held on Saturday, Septem-
ber 28 in San Francisco.

Ted’s memory with a gift,

your choice.
“Blessed are the
happiness makers.
Blessed are they
who know how to shine.”

and nephews Marat and
Dmitri Dziensuwski.
A kind, gentle, and
sensitive soul, Tito had an
endearing personality and
a wry sense of humor. He
was a friend to all. He
loved every living creature,
especially his pet bird.

Thomas Finnigan; loving

Linda Finnigan and Tamara
Azzaro (Bob); caring
grandmother to fifteen
grandchildren and six great
grandchildren. Shirley is also

vid Donati (Jan) and many
close family and friends and
her cherished dog Kele.
Born in San Francisco to
Sicilian- Portuguese parents,
Shirley grew up in the
Mission district and for the
rest of her life, called this
area “home”, regardless of
where she lived. She and
Tom raised their five chil-
dren in the Visitation Valley
area of the city. She worked
as a child care provider
when her children were
young and as they grew, she
began working at Mervyn’s
department store, until she
retired after 22 years.
Recognized for her loving
heart, genuine kindness,
acceptance of everyone
and her incredible capacity
for forgiveness and humor.
Because of these things, she
was never alone. Shirley was
a social butterfly who loved
people, parties, Sinatra,
pretty clothes and jewelry.
If there was a party, she was
there and it wouldn’t be
long before she was singing
“St.Louis Woman”. She was
an animal lover and cared
for many throughout her
life.

June 18, 1958 - September 8, 2019
On Sunday, September 8,
2019, Dominic Lenci (Nick),
passed away at Sequoia
Hospital in Redwood City
after a brief illness. He was
61 years old.
Nick was born in San
Francisco to Giuseppe and
Lillian Lenci. He graduated
from Archbishop Riordan
High School in 1976. He
followed in our father’s
footsteps in the grocery
business first with Pe-
trini’s Market and later
at Lunardi’s Market (Los
Gatos) where he was the
Dairy Manager. All told,
Nick spent 43 years in the
business.
But Nick’s passion and
primary job was that of
being a devoted father.
Nick’s joy in life was his
daughter Natalie. She was
his best friend; he was her
biggest fan and champion.
He was extremely proud
of the young woman she
has become and all her
accomplishments along the
way. He especially loved
camping with her and
other family members at
Pinecrest Lake, an annual
tradition. He loved hiking
there and throughout the
Bay Area. Like our dad, he
enjoyed growing fruit and
vegetables in his garden,
and was an avid fan of his
hometown sports teams –
the 49ers, Giants, and War-
riors. In 2016, Nick traveled
to Italy to experience the
journey with Natalie who
was studying abroad there.

Al worked for the San Fran-

Examiner, and Chronicle
newspapers for more
than 30 years and was a
member of the Teamsters

Vincent John Nolan
September 8, 1951 – April 16, 2019
Vincent (Vinnie as he was
known to his fellow firefight-
ers) passed peacefully after
a brief but devastating
illness. He was born and
raised in San Francisco, at-
tended Stuart Hall for Boys
primary school and Abra-
ham Lincoln High School
(Class of 1969). During the
Vietnam War, he served in
the United States Navy as a
hard-hat salvage diver. After
an honorable discharge,
he received a Bachelor of
Science in Biology from San
Francisco State University
(Class of 1976).
Following college, Vincent
joined the San Francisco
Fire Department (SFFD)
in 1978. He served for 33
years retiring in 2011 as one
of the two acting assistant
fire chiefs in San Francisco.
He loved the fire depart-
ment and all of the firefight-
ers he had the pleasure to
work with.
During Vincent’s SFFD
tenure, he served as the
President of the Chief’s
Officer’s Association, Chief
of Water Rescue at Ocean
Beach, and an Instructor
for the Neighborhood
Emergency Response Team
(NERT) and Heavy Rescue.
In 1989, he received a
Meritorious Service Medal
and a Certificate of Com-
mendation related to his
leadership in the Marina
District during the Loma
Prieta Earthquake.

Charles Anthony Ryan
Silvera
Charles Anthony Ryan
Silvera, San Francisco’s
native son, safely slid into
home plate on September
7, 2019 at the age of 94.
Charlie was a Major League
Baseball player, coach, man-
ager, scout, and six-time
World Series champion.
He was born to Victor and
May Silvera in San Fran-
cisco on October 13, 1924
and attended St. Ignatius
Catholic High School. He
is survived by his wife Rose
of 70 years, two daughters,
Charleen Silvera (Sam) and
Susan Silvera Dunn. He was
blessed with a grandson,
Ryan Dunn (Melissa) and
a great grandson Jayden.
Charlie’s son John preceded
him in death in 2013.
Charlie’s love of the game
began when he was 9 years
old, playing baseball on the
sandlot of the Mission Dis-
trict Playground. In 1942,
at the age of 17, his dream
came true when the New
York Yankees reached out
to him with his first baseball
contract as an outfielder
with the Wellsville Yankees.
Shortly thereafter, his base-
ball career was put on hold
as he served our country
in World War II from 1943
through 1945. When he re-
turned from military service,
he joined the Yankees minor
league for three seasons.
Charlie made his Major
League Baseball debut with
the Yankees on September
29, 1948. He became Yogi
Berra’s backup catcher in
1949 and was affectionately
known as “Yogi’s Caddy”.
That was because Yogi
rarely took a day off! He
and Yogi remained friends
for the rest of their lives.
Paul Routledge Toulmin
Paul Routledge Toulmin,
of San Francisco, CA, died
on August 25, 2019 at the
age of 82.
Paul was born in Boston,
MA on December 10, 1936
to John Toulmin and Rose
(Toulmin) Weld and grew up
in Dover, MA. He gradu-
ated from the Charles River
School, Milton Academy,
and Harvard College. After
serving in the US Navy, he
worked in North Carolina
and California for many
years in the insurance
industry. He moved to San
Francisco in the mid 1970s.
Paul started volunteer-
ing at KQED in 1995 with
membership drives. Accord-
ing to one co-worker, he
was a teddy bear filled with
love. He had a dry sense of
humor and was known as a
lively curmudgeon with an
opinion about just about
everything. One co-worker
referred to him as “the
soul of KQED”. He was a
wine connoisseur with an
apartment full of vintage
wines and served as a judge
at many wine competitions
all sports. As a youth, he al-
ways enjoyed pickup street
football. He was a member
of the Seaweeds football
team, and he played
center (52) for three years
at Lincoln High School. He
loved snow skiing, water
skiing, surfing, scuba diving,
camping, kayaking, water
volleyball, and frequent
abalone trips to Van Damme
State Park.
Vincent will always be
remembered for his dimpled
smile, his love of cooking,
his kindness, warm heart,
and inspiration to all of his
family and friends.
Vincent was the loving
husband of Meredith (Hart)
Nolan, beloved father of
Amber (Nolan) Espinosa,
grandfather of Shiloh Es-
pinosa, and loving sibling
to Bill Nolan, Beth (Nolan)
Amaral, Patrick Nolan, and
Valerie Nolan. He was pre-
deceased by his parents, Dr.
Edgar Vincent Nolan and
Mary Belle (Hess) Nolan.

Silvera played nine seasons
with the Yankees from 1948
to 1956. Despite not playing
every day, his batting aver-
age was .282. He could hit!
Charlie’s post Yankee
career took him to the
Windy City and the Chicago
Cubs in 1957 where he was
a catcher. Following his
playing career, he scouted
for no less than ten Major
League ball clubs including
the Washington Senators.
He coached for Billy Martin
with the Minnesota Twins,
Detroit Tigers and Texas
Rangers. Charlie enjoyed a
74 year career in baseball.
He would often say “It was
great to be a Yankee” and
“The Yankee Way brought
out the best in me”.
“I loved the game, I
respected the game, I
always hustled, and I owe
my entire life to the game
of baseball”. Charlie loved
his family, friends, and he
always had a great story to

involved for many years with
The Lamplighters, a theater
production company in San
Francisco, and was part
owner of San Francisco’s
well-known pub, Edinburgh
Castle (Paul was a favorite
of the pub’s parrot). During
the summer, he spent time
in Brooklin, Maine where
he owned a small cottage
called “The Ark”.
Paul’s nieces and neph-
ews meant the world to
him, even though they all
lived 3,000 miles away. Paul
would come visit during the
holidays when the kids were
younger, and bring presents
and wonderful stories. In
later years, he would stop in
the Boston area on his way
to Maine to visit his grown
nieces and nephews.
Paul was predeceased
by his father, his mother,
and his brothers Peter and
Hugh. He is survived by his
partner, Sho Takeuchi, by
seven nieces and nephews
in his Toulmin family, and
by many step nieces and
nephews in his Weld family.

Robert Frank — took
documentary photos
that had big influence
By Philip Gefter
Robert Frank, one of
the most influential pho­
tographers of the 20th
century, whose visually
raw and personally ex­
pressive style was pivotal
in changing the course of
documentary photog­
raphy, died Monday in
Inverness, Nova Scotia.
He was 94.
His death, at Inverness
Consolidated Memorial
Hospital on Cape Breton
Island, was confirmed by
Peter MacGill, whose
Pace­MacGill Gallery in
Manhattan has repre­
sented Frank’s work
since 1983. Frank, a Man­
hattan resident, had long
had a summer home in
Mabou, on Cape Breton
Island.
Born in Switzerland,
Frank emigrated to New
York at the age of 23 as
an artistic refugee from
what he considered to be
the small­minded values
of his native country. He
was best known for his
groundbreaking book,
“The Americans,” a mas­
terwork of black and
white photographs
drawn from his cross­
country road trips in the
mid­1950s and published
in 1959.
“The Americans”
challenged the presiding
mid­century formula for
photojournalism, defined
by sharp, well­lighted,
classically composed
pictures, whether of the
battlefront, the home­
spun American heart­
land or movie stars at
leisure. Frank’s pho­
tographs — of lone indi­
viduals, teenage couples,
groups at funerals and
odd spoors of cultural
life — were cinematic,
immediate, off­kilter and
grainy, like early televi­
sion transmissions of the
period. They would se­
cure his place in photog­
raphy’s pantheon. Cul­
tural critic Janet Malcolm
called him the “Manet of
the new photography.”
But recognition was by
no means immediate.
The pictures were ini­
tially considered warped,
smudgy, bitter. Popular
Photography magazine
complained about their
“meaningless blur, grain,

Robert Pound
May 2, 1947 - Aug 9, 2019
When asked how to best
describe Pop, his youngest
grandson exclaimed, “fun!”
Rob Pound didn’t simply
oblige children with atten-
tion. When he played, the
fun was pure and genuine.
The kid inside never grew
old.
All of his relationships
were built to last, none
more so than his marriage
to his high school sweet-
heart, Mary Pound. Rob
passed away just hours
after his 50th wedding an-
niversary. His sons learned
devotion from that bond, an
enviable example of respect
and fortitude.
Rob was civil, silly, and
kind. He was bigger and
stronger than the world
around him. He could best
most in basketball, baseball,
football, billiards, sudoku,
badminton, swimming, cro-
quet, racketball... but he’d
rather teach those skills.
A graduate of Nas-
son College in Maine,
Rob taught high school
math before joining the
then-fledgling industry of
information technology.
Nearly everyone he worked

drunken horizons, and
general sloppiness.”
Frank, the magazine
said, was “a joyless man
who hates the country of
his adoption.”
Frank had come to
detest the American
drive for conformity, and
the book was thought to
be an indictment of
American society, strip­
ping away the picture­
perfect vision of the
country and its veneer of
breezy optimism put
forward in magazines
and movies and on tele­
vision. Yet at the core of
his social criticism was a
romantic idea about
finding and honoring
what was true and good
about the United States.
“Patriotism, optimism,
and scrubbed suburban
living were the rule of
the day,” Charlie LeDuff
wrote about Frank in
Vanity Fair magazine in
2008. “Myth was impor­
tant then. And along
comes Robert Frank, the
hairy homunculus, the
European Jew with his
35­mm. Leica, taking
snaps of old angry white
men, young angry black
men, severe disapprov­
ing southern ladies, Indi­
ans in saloons, he/shes in
New York alleyways,
alienation on the assem­
bly line, segregation
south of the Mason­
Dixon Line, bitterness,
dissipation, discontent.”
“Les Americains,” first
published in France by
Robert Delpire in 1958,
used Frank’s photo­
graphs as illustrations
for essays by French
writers. In the American
edition, published the
next year by Grove
Press, the pictures were
allowed to tell their own
story, without text, as
Frank had conceived the
book.
Frank may well have
been the unwitting father
of what became known
in the late 1960s as “the
snapshot aesthetic,” a
personal offhand style
that sought to capture
the look and feel of spon­
taneity in an authentic
moment. The pictures
had a profound influence
on the way photogra­
phers began to approach

using such sources. The
probe was first made
public by the website San
Jose Inside.
The sheriff did not

comment. A personal
attorney for Smith, who
was voted into office in
1998, said she has never
exchanged campaign
contributions for gun
permits.
“It’s absurd this is an
issue given the stinginess
in which the sheriff gives
out” the permits, said the
attorney, Rich Robinson.

The debate over the
tight permit controls has
taken on special intensity
in Santa Clara County. In
2011, a security manager
for a semiconductor com­

support from gun­rights
groups, saying he had
been unfairly denied a

Tom Scocca dropped the
suit in a 2016 settlement
in which Smith promised
to consider future permit

is unclear whether he
ever obtained the permit.

way to cooldown
By Sarah Ravani
and Lauren Hernández
After several days of
scorching temperatures, the
Bay Area began to cool down
this weekend, forecasters
said.
Temperatures were expect­
ed to drop Saturday by at
least several degrees. Sunday
will be even cooler, said Scott
Rowe, a meteorologist with
the National Weather Service.
“Things will still be warm
in the South Bay and the
interior East Bay (Saturday),
but it won’t be as hot,” Rowe
said. “If people are looking
for relief, a place to cool
down ... (go) anywhere along
the beach. It’s going to be
significantly cooler.”
The temperature in San
Francisco reached a balmy 94
degrees Friday, but dropped
Saturday by nearly 30 de­
grees, according to the
weather service. The cool­
down will continue Sunday
with temperatures expected
to be in the 60s.
As fog formed in the dis­
tance Saturday at Aquatic
Park Cove, children pranced
on the sand, couples
sprawled out on worn blan­
kets, and people swam paral­
lel to the shore. A man
blared reggaeton music from
a personal speaker, lending a
soundtrack to dozens of fami­
lies taking advantage of the
sunshine over the water.
David Crimmins, 50, stead­
ied his surfboard with his
7­year­old daughter, Sophie,
balanced on the front, her
arms straight and out­
stretched. The father and
daughter have paddled on
surfboards in Santa Cruz and
San Diego, but it was their
first time trying it at Aquatic
Park, despite living within
walking distance.
“We figured it was so
warm yesterday, and we fig­
ured we’d get the tail end of
the warm weather,” Crim­
mins said. “I grew up surf­
ing, so it’s exciting for me to
show my daughter the funda­
mentals. September is the
time to do it here in San
Francisco.”
For Kat Sena of San Fran­
cisco, the weather meant
slipping on her one­piece
swimsuit and taking her time
wading into the water. Sena,

mer, alternated between back­
strokes, freestyle and breast­
strokes for 30 minutes along

er swimmers bobbing in and
out of the water.
Sena’s husband, Michael
Sokoloff, watched from the
stone stairs along the sand.
The couple have lived in the
city for more than 20 years,
and they frequently visit
nearby beaches to swim and
unwind.
“This is my favorite time
of year, because the water
warms up,” Sena said,
squeezing the water from her
short red hair. “It’s not that
cold, but I still have to get
acclimated to it.”
Nicolas Meuleau, 51, and
his daughters, Alice, 5, and
Leila, 11, walked two blocks
from their San Francisco
home to Aquatic Park. The

girls shot out toward the
water.
“These kids don’t feel the
cold at all,” Meuleau said,
laughing as his daughters
darted in and out of the wa­
ter. “Last weekend we swam,
but this time it’s too cold for
me to swim.”
Oakland’s high Friday was
95, but weekend temperatures
were expected to drop by at
least 15 degrees. Oakland’s
high Sunday is expected to
be just 70 degrees.
In San Jose, the forecast is
for continued warm weather.
Temperatures dropped a few
degrees from the high of 96
Friday and should fall to 80
degrees Sunday.
The weekend cooldown is
Temperatures in San Fran­
cisco will be about 65 degrees
Monday, rising to 70 by the
end of the week.
Some Bay Area locations,
particularly in San Mateo
County and the North Bay,
could see some light, wide­
spread showers Monday,
Rowe said, “but nothing ter­
ribly impressive.”
A red­flag warning was in
effect along the crest of the
Sierra — from Mono County
to Modoc County, said Brian
Garcia, a meteorologist with
the National Weather Service.
No fire danger was anticipat­
ed in the foothills, he added.
Elsewhere in the state, a
52,282­acre blaze was still
burning Saturday in the Plu­
mas National Forest. The
Walker Fire was 42% con­
tained Saturday, according to
the U.S. Forest Service.
A red­flag warning was
issued for the area near the
fire through Sunday, because
of the expected critical fire
weather with 40­mph winds
and 80­degree temperatures.
There were no red­flag
warnings for the Bay Area.

BAY AREA
Property crime rates high, arrests are low in S.F.
Matier from page B1
3,666 crimes per 100,000 resi­
dents.
Los Angeles County, by
comparison, was at 25th, re­
porting an average of 2,398
crimes per 100,000 residents.
Santa Clara County, which
includes San Jose, came in
30th, with an average of 2,282
per 100,000 residents — less
than half the property crime
rate of San Francisco.
“One contributing factor is
the high number of larcenies,
which include auto break­ins,
theft and burglaries,” said
PPIC analyst Magnus Lof­
strom. “It’s very hard to catch
someone committing a car
burglary. It happens very
fast.”
Property crime includes
burglary, motor vehicle theft
and larcenies such as pick­
pocketing and shoplifting.
As for arrests, San Francis­
co clocked in with 226 proper­
ty­crime annual arrests per
100,000 residents over the
two­year period compared
with Alameda County’s 374
per 100,000 residents, Los
Angeles County’s 371 and
Santa Clara County’s 283.
San Francisco also had the
distinction of the highest per­
capita property­crime rate
among the 20 biggest U.S.
cities in 2017, FBI data show.
Lofstrom said San Francis­
co’s daily influx of tourists
and commuters leads to high­
er crime rates — more visi­
tors, more victims.
“Crime rates are calculated
based on reported crimes per
100,000 residents, but tourists
and commuters are not count­
ed as residents,” Magnus said.
San Francisco police con­
tend, however, that the situa­
tion is improving.
“The data cited in the PPIC
report is 3 to 5 years old,”
said San Francisco police
spokesman David Stevenson,
who added that the city has
doubled foot patrols to deter
Auto break­ins are among the main reasons San Francisco averaged a whopping 5,844 property

street crimes and assigned
plainclothes officers to focus
on vehicle burglaries and
other street crimes.
The added police effort
helped reduce auto burglaries
by 13% from 2017 to 2018. As
of the end of July this year,
auto burglaries were down
10% from 2018. Property
crimes are down 9% year to
date, according to San Fran­
cisco Police Department re­
cords.
“As the report notes, many
of these are crimes of oppor­
tunity, such as auto break­ins,
in which a small crew of sus­
pects can commit several
break­ins and get away quick­
ly,” Stevenson said. “Nev­
ertheless, we are making ar­
rests.”
Still, according to The
Chronicle’s Car Break­in
Tracker, there were 2,279 ve­
hicle break­ins reported in
San Francisco last month, or
roughly 73 per day.
One contributing factor to
the plague of property crimes
statewide appears to be the
aftereffect of Proposition 47, a
voter­approved measure that
dropped property crimes of
less than $950 in value to a
misdemeanor that carries little
if any jail time.
Prop. 47 was part of former
Gov. Jerry Brown’s criminal
justice reforms intended to
reduce the state’s overcrowded
prison system, which at the
same time offered nonviolent
petty offenders alternatives to
jail time.
“We have to work within
the parameters of the laws
that are passed by legislators
or voted on by the public,”
Stevenson said. “As always,
our focus is on public safety,
deterring crime and building
strong cases for prosecution
and justice in our courts.”
That, Lofstrom concluded,
Paul Chinn / The Chronicle 2015
may have led to fewer arrests.
“It is plausible that, faced
with crowded jail facilities,
law enforcement officers may
have reduced arrests, especial­
ly for lower­level offenses,
since they may have expected
some suspects to be released
shortly after being booked
into jail,” Lofstrom wrote in
the report. “There is a lower
likelihood of consequences for
committing lower­level, or
misdemeanor, crimes.”
Where candidates’ stand
In light of the PPIC report
we asked the four candidates
for San Francisco district
attorney if they thought Prop.
47 was working?
Their responses:
Chesa Boudin: “Prop. 47 is
working. It has reduced Cali­
fornia’s prison and jail pop­
ulations by more than 20,000
and provided $100 million for
treatment and rehabilitation
programs that will help break
the cycle of crime. All this
while still empowering district
attorneys to effectively prose­
cute drug sales, auto burglar­
ies and serious felonies.”
Leif Dautch: “The issue with
Prop. 47 is not the law itself
but the local implementation
by San Francisco officials,
including the district attorney.
Importantly, crimes like car
break­ins don’t fall under
Prop. 47 and can still be pros­
ecuted as felonies. So the lack
of enforcement for these
break­ins is a conscious
choice by the D.A.’s office, not
a limitation in existing law.”
Suzy Loftus: “Prop. 47 was
about reducing wasted prison
space on nonviolent crimes.
That makes sense. It’s been up
to local officials to solve non­
violent crimes without relying
on costly and ineffective pris­
on beds. Some counties have
created new public safety
strategies that work better.
Others have failed to imple­
ment Prop. 47 effectively, and
that’s about inadequate local
leadership, not state law.”
Nancy Tung: “Prop. 47 re­
duced penalties for some
crimes, like drug possession
and theft, but the district
attorney and police need to do
a better job and use all avail­
able tools to protect our city.
We can’t just throw up our
hands and do nothing when
what’s happening on our
streets isn’t working.”

Candidate Yang strikes chord with ‘freedom dividend’

Brown from page B1
I keep running into
regular people who ask
how to contact Yang.
He’s connecting on a
level we rarely see in
politics.
How else do you ex­
plain how he was one of
the 10 remaining candi­
dates on the Democratic
debate stage Thursday
night, while current and
former governors and
members of Congress
running on more “sub­
stantive” issues like
climate change failed to
make the cut?
People know we’re
already spending big
money on social services
that in many cases result
in little if any improve­
ment in people’s lives.
Yang is challenging all
of that and doing it with
a game show host’s pas­
sion and sense of humor.
Rookie ball: Sacra­
mento insiders are giv­

mixed reviews for his
first legislative session as

for amendments on the
bill giving the state more

bill’s co­authors obliged.
Then, at the last min­
ute, Newsom called for
more changes.
And he made the call
via Twitter, a favorite
tactic of you know who

Lawmakers were nev­

elusiveness, but New­
som’s act may cost him a
precious commodity in
politics — the belief
among others that when
you reach a deal, you’ll
stick to it.
It may just be the

product of having a staff

BAY AREA

Fisherman Steve Fitz unloads his haul of groundfish — which have come back after a population crash in 2006 — from his boat, Mr. Morgan, in Half Moon Bay.

Plenty of local groundfish for sale

Gabby Reta, above, measures Fitz’s petrale sole catch at Morning Star Fisheries. More sustainable practices helped groundfish like Boccaccio, above, rebound.

Groundfish from page B1
finished transferring the
remaining fishing rights
— which are now man­
aged under a quota sys­
tem — to community
trusts at four California
fishing ports, including
Half Moon Bay and Mon­
terey Bay, which can sell
the quota back to local
fishermen. The only
problem is that in the
intervening years, restau­
rants and home cooks got
used to buying cheaper
farmed fish imported
from Asia. Most people
fell out of the habit of
eating buttery sablefish,
meaty rockfish and ten­
der petrale sole, which
are now difficult to find
outside of a few seafood
markets and old­school
restaurants like Duarte’s
Tavern and Sam’s Grill.
“Here we have this
amazing resource right at
our front door,” said Lisa
Damrosch, executive
director of the Half Moon
Bay Commercial Fisher­
ies Trust and part of a
fourth­generation
groundfish trawling
family at Pillar Point
Harbor. “Theoretically,
everyone in the Bay Area
wants to get it. But they’re
not able to get it or to trust
they’re getting it.”
Damrosch gets frus­
trated that so little local
fish is eaten in a region
that otherwise prizes
fresh and local food.
Eighty percent of the
seafood Americans eat
comes from outside the
country, mostly Asia,
according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospher­
ic Administration, while
the majority of wild do­
mestic seafood is export­
ed.
In April, Damrosch,
her fisherman brother
Geoff Bettencourt and
fellow Half Moon Bay
groundfish fisherman
Steve Fitz purchased the
Pillar Point seafood com­
pany Morning Star Fish­
eries, as a place to offload
their own fish and cut out
the middle man.
“We had to do that to
survive,” said Betten­
court.
Named for its habitat
near the ocean floor, the
groundfish category
includes more than 90
species of fish. Trawling,
the main fishing method
used to catch them, is
criticized because it in­
volves pulling a net along
the seafloor, which can
cause habitat destruction
and capture unintended

to fish in a better way.”

bycatch.
Bettencourt and other
fishermen have made
adjustments to their gear
for lower impact, in­
cluding lightening their
nets and changing the
mesh so that juvenile fish
can escape. In 2011, Fitz,
Bettencourt and fisher­
men in Morro Bay and
Fort Bragg partnered
with the Nature Conser­
vancy to create the Cali­
fornia Groundfish Collec­
tive. Bettencourt ac­
knowledges it was an
unusual move in a com­
petitive industry that
doesn’t usually trust
environmental groups.
The Nature Conser­
vancy provided tech­
nology so the fishermen
could share data to figure
out how to target more of
the fish they wanted to
catch and less of the fish
they should avoid, and to
stay out of sensitive habi­
tat like rocky areas in
more than 23,000 square
miles off of California,
Kauer said.
“The Nature Conser­
vancy influenced
change,” said Betten­
court. “They incentivized
guys to fish in a better
way.”
In 2014, groundfish
populations had re­
bounded and the Mon­
terey Bay Aquarium’s
Seafood Watch program
gave petrale sole, sand
dabs, sablefish and sever­
al types of rockfish the
green light for sustain­
ability. Still, the fishery
has struggled to regain
footing. When it col­
lapsed, California ports
lost a lot of infrastructure
that went along with it,
such as companies that
offload and process fish.
There are currently no
industrial ice machines at
the Monterey harbor that
fishermen can use to fill
their holds.
That will be changing
next year with new infra­
structure investments
planned for the harbor,
said Sherry Flumerfelt,
executive director of the
Monterey Bay Fisheries
Trust, which has ground­
fish quota transferred
from the Nature Conser­
vancy available to local
fishermen.
“It’s such an important
part of the history and the
culture and the identity of
Monterey Bay,” said Flu­
merfelt.
Each year, the federal
government sets quotas
for the total poundage of
different species of
groundfish that can be
fished on the entire West
Coast. Commercial fish­
ermen purchase what are
called Individual Fishing
Quotas that represent a
percentage of that total
amount. If they catch
more than their quota,
they must buy more,
usually via an online
marketplace. (They also
must pay for a federal
observer to come along
on fishing trips to mon­
itor what they catch and
offload.)
Quotas are often
bought up by larger,
wealthier fishing ports in
other states, like New­
port, Ore., one reason the
trusts were established —
to make sure fishermen in
smaller ports like Mon­
terey regain access to the
fishery, said Flumerfelt.
To promote ground­
fish, Flumerfelt’s organi­
zation helped organize a
restaurant week in Santa
Cruz this summer, when
chefs served local fish,
with menus featuring the
names of the species,
vessel and fishermen.
Pillar Point harbor in
Half Moon Bay scheduled
a seafood festival Sunday
in conjunction with Half
Moon Bay Commercial
Fisheries Trust. Restau­
rants will be there to cook
up local fish, along with
local fishermen like Bet­
tencourt.
The trawler man still
struggles to find a market
for his groundfish. Last
month, he spoke on the
phone while heading
back from a great fishing
trip that he had to cut
short because he had
orders for only a limited
amount of fish.
“We could produce
more, but the market
can’t stand it because
they’re full of all that
other (imported) fish,” he
said. “That’s what seems
broken to me.”

ANN KILLION
Posey gets
benefit of
the doubt
It’s been hard to watch
Buster Posey this season.
The fans are frustrated.
He’s frustrated.
“Sure,” he said Thursday,
after grounding out with run­
ners on the corners in the
bottom of the ninth against
Pittsburgh.
But the frustration is tem­
pered; there were no boos
when Posey made the final
out. Though the fans I talk to
seem ready to get rid of just
about everyone and anyone as
the beleaguered Giants re­
build, not Posey. His name
does not come up.
Any feelings of exasper­
ation are neutralized by histo­
ry. By loyalty. By the connec­
tion to arguably the most
important player in the histo­
ry of the Giants franchise.
That’s what Posey is.
Not the best player — that
was obviously Willie Mays.

By Susan Slusser
ARLINGTON, Texas — In
most years, losing one ace to a
long suspension and the next
top starter to an arm injury
would be a killer.
But the A’s, somehow rota­
tion­rich despite all the ques­
tion marks about starters en­
tering the season, have played
their best since Frankie Mon­
tas’ June 21 suspension for
violating baseball’s perfor­
mance­enhancing drug policy.
Saturday, Mike Fiers, the man
who took up the reins as Oak­
land’s most reliable starter, left
with nerve irritation in his
right arm, but the A’s went on
to down Texas 8­6. They hit
balls out in four consecutive
innings to get within one of the
franchise record for home runs
in a season.

By Matt Kawahara
After facing the Chiefs in
Week 17 last season, Jon Gru­
den felt the need.
The need for … well, you
know.
“We’ve got to add some
speed to this football team,” the
Raiders’ head coach said Dec.

Kansas City. “You saw how fast
they are.”
Coming off a 4­12 season, the
Raiders made it a priority this
offseason to become younger
and more athletic — something
they feel they accomplished
amid significant roster turn­
over.
Are they fast enough to keep
pace with the Chiefs? A Week 2
game against the three­time
defending AFC West champi­
ons, the Raiders said this week,
should provide a good early
test.

SCOTT OSTLER: SUNDAY PUNCH
NCAA’s
same old
warning
Remember college football
and basketball? They were so
cool! It’s sad that they became
extinct. Blame the greedy damn
kids.
Sorry, I just had a flashback
to a book I wrote years ago with
Spencer Haywood. He’s the
hoops superstar who in 1971
took his case to the U.S. Su­
preme Court and won the right
to play pro basketball without
spending four years in college, a
requirement at the time.
NBA Commissioner Walter
Kennedy said, “This could kill
college athletics and seriously
injure professional athletes.”
NFL Commissioner Pete
Rozelle said, “It could destroy
college football and basketball.”
Yeah, no.
Now the NCAA is desperate­
ly opposed to SB206, which
would allow college athletes in
California to benefit financially
from their own images and
names. The Senate unanimous­
ly passed it Wednesday and
now SB206 awaits Gov. Gavin
Newsom’s signature to become
law.
The NCAA’s Board of Gover­
nors warned Newsom: “If the
bill becomes law and Califor­
nia’s 58 NCAA schools are com­
pelled to allow an unrestricted
name, image and likeness
scheme, it would erase the crit­
ical distinction between college
and professional athletics. And
because it gives those schools an
unfair recruiting advantage,
would result in them eventually
being unable to compete in
NCAA competitions.”
Big College Sports, meet Big
Tobacco. You two have so much
in common. Go compare notes
on scare tactics. And on run­
ning scared.

Posey still gets benefit of doubt in frustrating year
Killion from page C1
Not the most popular.
Though he’s up there, Posey
may still trail 1) Willie McCo­
vey and 2) Tim Lincecum.
But he’s the most impor­
tant. When Posey joined the
Giants permanently in 2010,
the team’s fate, history and
trajectory were immediately
changed.
So, this season, with three
World Series championships
in the rearview mirror, his
33rd birthday looming and
the greatest offensive strug­
gles of his career, Posey still
deserves and receives the
benefit of the doubt.
Even on a team undergoing
massive transition. Even with
a push toward youth and
analytics. The connection to
Posey is still strong.
Fans still view him as the
kid who changed everything
for the team. But that player
is now a man, aging in a
baseball sense. And some­
times that’s hard to watch.

expect more from Posey next
year. They believe that Posey’s
hip surgery — a little over a
year ago — and rehabilitation
took its toll and that there
could be an uptick in his
production next year, even
though Posey will be a year
older.
That isn’t a totally unrea­
sonable theory to anyone who
pays attention to the human
body or who has had surgery
on a weight­bearing joint. We
often unrealistically expect
our athletes to bounce back
from catastrophic injuries (be
warned, Klay Thompson!).
Posey, who has two years
remaining on his contract,
had hip surgery last August
and was back in the squat by
Opening Day. He has played
96 games at catcher this sea­
son. The regular wear and
tear of the position takes a
toll that is surely exacerbated
in a season after surgery.
But there’s no denying that
Posey is in decline and has
been for a couple years. The
adjustments to his status as a
Giant are already there.

SPORTS
Student­athletes
profiting from
likeness debated
By Ron Kroichick
Onetime quarterback
Tim Tebow went on a
rant Friday on ESPN’s
“First Take.” Tebow was
talking about California
Senate Bill 206, the pro­
posed legislation that
would allow college
athletes to earn compen­
sation for their image
and likeness.
Tebow pointed out his
No. 15 at Florida once
was one of the world’s
top­selling sports jer­
seys, behind NBA stars
Kobe Bryant and LeBron
James. That’s exactly the
kind of scenario in
which a college athlete
in California — now
forbidden from accept­
ing this kind of money
— could profit if Gov.
Gavin Newsom signs
SB206 into law.
“I didn’t make a dollar
from it, nor did I want
to,” Tebow said, his
voice rising. “I knew
going into college what it
was all about. Now we’re
changing it from us,
from we, from what
makes college sports
special … to it’s not
about ‘we,’ it’s just about
‘me.’
“That’s why people
are more passionate
about college football,
because it’s about the
school, the team. And
you’re taking that away
so young kids can earn a
dollar. I just don’t feel
that’s where college foot­
ball needs to go.”
Raiders rookie run­
ning back Josh Jacobs
disagreed. Jacobs, who
was homeless for a
stretch while growing up
in Tulsa, Okla., posted a
video of Tebow’s solilo­
quy later Friday on
Twitter, with the sarcas­
tic comment, “Yeah ...
this ain’t it.”
Jacobs’ perspective
probably resonated with
many current college
athletes. Scholarships
are prized and valuable,
no question, but they
also do not cover all
expenses. That’s why the
NCAA added a “cost of
attendance” stipend in
recent years, to help
student­athletes close
the gap.
Still, the idea of per­
mitting college football
players to profit from
their image riled NCAA
officials, who have no
interest in government
intervention. They are
lobbying Newsom to
veto SB206.
Cal cornerback Cam­
ryn Bynum, speaking
after a practice this past
week, called the pro­
posed state legislation
“big” and welcomed the
possibility of players
sharing in college foot­
ball’s abundant revenue.
Bynum has lived in an
apartment in Hayward
for most of his Cal ca­
reer, partly to limit rent
costs. (He’s now plan­
ning to move closer to
campus.)
“I had to learn to use
my money wisely and
find the cheapest place
to live,” Bynum said.
“But any extra money
would always be good,
because there are
months where we live
paycheck to paycheck,
and sometimes things
don’t come on time so
you’re kind of struggling.
Any extra money, any­

time, would be good.”
Bynum made a point
of saying college football
players are treated well,
and he called it a bless­
ing that his scholarship
covers tuition and books
at one of the nation’s top
universities. The reality,
though: Despite helping
their schools wade in
revenue, athletes some­
times struggle to meet
expenses, especially in
the ever pricey Bay
Area.
Cal linebacker Evan
Weaver had a different
take, channeling his
inner Tebow in saying
he’s always played “for
the love of the game.”
Weaver, like Bynum a
pro prospect, views
college football as differ­
ent than the big business
of the NFL.
He also became in­
trigued when the prem­
ise of SB206 was ex­
plained, especially upon
realizing an accom­
plished athlete in a non­
revenue sport — say,
former Cal swimmer
Missy Franklin — could
receive compensation for
his or her image under
the proposed legislation.
“It’s definitely in­
teresting, and it’ll be
interesting to see what

happens,” Weaver said.
“It will probably start
here, and then hopefully
more states will do it.”
Even if Newsom signs
the bill, it would not
take effect until Jan. 1,
2023. That gives NCAA
officials more than three
years to figure out the
myriad implications and
consequences.
If nothing else, Wed­
nesday’s passage of
SB206 by the State Sen­
ate vaulted the issue into
the headlines. That
should lead to earnest
conversation in the
months, and perhaps
years, ahead.
“I’m sure there’s a lot
to unpack,” Cal football
coach Justin Wilcox said.
“I’m for supporting the
student­athletes. Now
how that’s going to be
done, I don’t know. …
“I just think there’s a
lot that’s going to be
discussed, and that’s
important. It’s really
important to have those
discussions. People are
going to start talking,
which is good.”

A’S BEAT
Newcomers helping
By Susan Slusser
ARLINGTON, Texas
— When a bunch of new
relievers come up in the
season and perform
well, while some of the
incumbents have strug­
gled most of the year,
what’s a manager to do?
In the case of the A’s,
who got five perfect
innings Friday from J.B.
Wendelken (three in­
nings) and A.J. Puk
(two), they’ll probably
turn more often to the
newcomers, especially
with Joakim Soria not
at full strength. Soria
has missed a week with
elbow soreness. He
threw off the mound
Saturday and if he is not
available Sunday, the
hope is that he will be
available at home Mon­
day.
Neither Wendelken
nor Puk was available
Saturday after their
workloads in the first
game at Texas, but, man­
ager Bob Melvin said,
“It’s been a little difficult
at times this year, and
what we’re seeing is
some guys coming up
and responding. And
when you give them the
opportunity like J.B. and
A.J. (Friday) night, you
can’t help but look to get
them in there again. ...
We don’t win the game
without those two.”
Puk is coming back
from Tommy John sur­
gery, so the A’s are care­
ful with his innings.
Friday was the first time
he’s worked in back­to­
back games, and that’s
only because he faced
one batter in a day game
Thursday. The team also
would prefer that he not
warm up more than one
time, which can make
his usage tricky, but he
C3
looks much more com­
fortable than he did
initially, when Puk en­
tered in two high­le­
verage situations and
issued walks.
“He was phenomenal
coming in behind me,”
Wendelken said. “A.J. is
a freak of nature, watch­
ing him throw — it’s
almost majestic. He
makes it look way too
easy.”
Wendelken did not
have a standout season
at Triple­A Las Vegas,
with a 5.59 ERA, and he
was inconsistent with
Oakland early in the
season, but in four in­
nings since coming up
Sept. 6 he hasn’t allowed
a hit or a walk.
“I was just going right
at them and seeing if I
could get them out ear­
ly,” Wendelken said,
“and it happened just
the way I drew it up.”
Top prospect Jesús
Luzardo is also working
out of the bullpen, but
in a “piggy­back” role.
He’s likely to follow
Sean Manaea on Sun­
day or — with Manaea
coming off six days of
rest and a seven­inning
start in his last appear­
ance — Tanner Roark
on Monday.
Briefly: Ramón Lau­
reano made his second
consecutive start in right
Saturday but he’ll get
Sunday’s day game off as
he comes back from a
right leg injury. ... Out­
fielder Stephen Piscot­
ty was out of the air cast
for his right ankle
sprain, and he took
batting practice Satur­
day.

The clinching celebrations
looked major­league­ish. When
the River Cats secured their

pitching coach Steve Kline. On
Friday night, they shoved catch­
er Francisco Peña into an ice
chest and adorned him with
anything they could pour,
smear or squirt.
Manager Bruce Bochy
called the PCL title “really cool,”
especially since the Giants pro­
moted a lot of Sacramento’s best
players before and during the
playoffs.
They did it again Saturday by
summoning Gerber and Ad­
ames to the majors ahead of
Tuesday’s Triple­A champi­
onship game against Columbus,
the Indians’ top farm team, in
Memphis. The pair made the
final two outs of Saturday
night’s 4­2 loss to Miami with
two runners aboard.

ers on the 40­man roster are

remain with Sacramento are

recently claimed Ricardo Pin­
to, outfielder Joseph McCar­
thy and infielder Abiatal Ave­
lino, who had the go­ahead hits
in two of Sacramento’s three
clinching games.
Bochy said the Giants wanted
to reward Adames and Gerber.
Adames was in Sacramento for
two months, but Gerber was
there the entire season aside
from the four games he played
with the Giants. He went 1­
for­15.
Bochy called Gerber a “model
of consistency” at Sacramento
and the likely team MVP. Ger­

NO. 17 CENTRAL FLORIDA 45, STANFORD 27
Costello back, but Cardinal overwhelmed
A S S OC IAT E D PRE SS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Not
even Tiger Woods could in­
spire Stanford against one of
the hottest teams in college
football.
The Cardinal yielded four
touchdowns in the opening
quarter and 413 yards total
offense in the first half alone
and tumbled to a 45­27 loss at
No. 17 Central Florida, which
racked up its 28th win in 29
games.
“We tried to slow them
down early, but you can’t slow
them down if you’re giving up
big passes,” Stanford head
coach David Shaw said. “We
gave up too many balls over
our heads today. Double
moves and straight up go
routes. Too many big gains.
Can’t beat a good football team
by giving up big plays.”
Woods, who lives in Orlan­
do and played golf at Stanford,
was among the crowd of
45,008 to watch the Cardinal
(1­2) play a regular season
game in Florida for the first
time (they have played three
bowl games in the Sunshine
State). He spoke to the Cardi­
nal before the game and even
let Shaw slip on one of the
green jackets he received for
winning the Masters.
“Tiger’s great. He tries to
come to at least one game a
year and it’s been awhile be­
cause he’s been playing a lot
and it’s been tough for him to
make it out to Stanford,” Shaw
said. “So this was perfect for
time, coming back to his
hometown, perfect time to see
him.”
Also a welcome face was
Cardinal quarterback K.J.
Costello, who returned to the
lineup after sitting out against
USC the previous weekend
with a head injury.
He completed 21 of 44 pass­
es for 199 yards, one touch­
down and an interception that
led to one Central Florida
score.
“I didn’t feel like I played
well,” Costello said. “There’s
certain situations that make
the game hard, but there are
certain situations where you
have to make plays. I made a
couple. But compared to what
I expect from myself, I didn’t
play well.”
Nonetheless, this one’s on
the Cardinal defense, which
seemed in over its head. Led
by freshman quarterback Dil­
lon Gabriel, the Golden
Knights built a 38­7 halftime
lead as scored at least 30
points for the 29th consecutive
game — the longest streak in
the Football Bowl Subdivision
since 1936.

added 99 yards on 19 carries.
“No matter the score, no
matter the time that’s left on
the clock, this team keeps
fighting and keeps fighting,”
Williams said.

the game, and Wilcox de­
clined to say why.
But the defense was solid,
so Cal won despite being held
to three points over the final
three quarters.
“For us it was all about the
level of execution, and we’ve
just got a long way to go
there,” Wilcox said. “No two
ways about it. Our guys play
hard and the effort’s really
good. Now the level of execu­
tion’s gotta match that for us
to do what we want to do.
We’re not there yet.”
Cal dominated on both
sides early in the first match­
up between the two schools,
then held on after North
Texas made a late surge. The

was delayed by weather for
more than 2½ hours. Garbers
repeatedly burned the Mean
Green with keepers and
scrambles while running for
a career­high 70 yards on 18
carries despite North Texas
frequently stacking the box.
“We saw, prepping for
them this week, that the QB
run game was going be a big
part of our game plan and we
just had to go execute,” Gar­
bers said. “It’s fun to be two­
dimensional, a dual threat.
But as a quarterback you try
not to take as many hits. You
just have to do what you do
for the team.”
Garbers’ 19­yard run on
3rd­and­3 set up Cal’s first
touchdown. He also scam­
pered for 12 yards on a keep­
er later in the first quarter,
three plays before finding
Nikko Remigio for a 36­yard
touchdown.
Remigio, who had a slicing

the drive, caught the ball at

the end zone for his first
career touchdown.
“On film they would bite
pretty hard to any stick we
were giving, so I gave (Rob­

said. “I felt him coming hard

ARIZONA STATE 10,
NO. 18 MICHIGAN STATE 7
Sun Devils stun
Spartans in frantic,
wild final minute
By Noah Trister
EAST LANSING, Mich. —
Jayden Daniels and Arizona
State spoiled Mark Dantonio’s
bid for a milestone. Instead, the
Michigan State coach was left to
explain a chaotic finish to a
disappointing home loss.
Daniels directed Arizona
State on a pressure­packed
75­yard drive and, after Eno
Benjamin reached the ball to the
goal line for a 1­yard touchdown
run with 50 seconds remaining,
the Sun Devils held on for a 10­7
victory over No. 18 Michigan
State on Saturday.
The Spartans saw a tying
field goal in the final seconds
negated for having too many
men on the field — a sour finish
on a day when Dantonio had a
chance to take over sole pos­
session of the school record for
victories.
The Spartans’ defense was
stifling all day, but Arizona
NATIONAL ROUNDUP
Tagovailoa, spectacular Harris lead No. 2 Alabama
STA F F A N D N EWS S E RV I C E S
Tua Tagovailoa threw for a
career­high 444 yards and tied
his personal best with five
touchdowns — including a
spectacular scoring pass to
former Antioch High running
back Najee Harris that went
viral on social media — to help
No. 2 Alabama open SEC play
with a 47­23 victory at South
Carolina on Saturday.
Coach Nick Saban improved
to 12­1 at Alabama in SEC open­
ers and wiped away some bad
memories of his last visit to
Williams­Brice Stadium nine
years ago.
Tagovailoa and his receivers
got the Crimson Tide (3­0, 1­0)
rolling with first­quarter TD
passes of 24 yards to Harris and
81 yards to Henry Ruggs III.
Whenever the Gamecocks (1­2,
0­1) drew within range, Tago­
vailoa came right back to re­
store Alabama’s edge.
But it was Harris’ eye­pop­
ping second touchdown that
drew attention. Harris took a
short pass from Tagovailoa that
could have just ended in a first
down as a South Carolina de­
fender closed in on him. But
Harris wasn’t satisfied. He
dispatched the safety with a
right stiff­arm, sprinted 12
yards up the sideline and hur­
dled another defender, shook
off a third tackler near the 10
and rumbled into the end zone.
Harris’ 42­yard reception
gave Alabama a 24­10 lead mid­
way through the second quar­
ter.
“I always tell him not to do
that. I think it could be danger­
ous,” Saban said about Harris’
jump. “But he’s got a good feel
for it.”
XXXXX
State finally broke through on
the final drive. Daniels, the Sun
Devils’ freshman quarterback,
ran 15 yards for a first down on
4th­and­13 from the Michigan
State 28.
“Offensively, we knew it was
going to be very difficult to run
the football,” Arizona State
coach Herm Edwards said. “We
came in with a plan trying to get
it out of our quarterback’s hand
fast because they can hit the
quarterback. They hit him a
couple of times, but at the end
the kid did good. He really did
good. He made a lot of plays
with his legs. I think that’s sur­
prising for a lot of people — his
ability to run, and he’s a smart
runner.”
Benjamin’s touchdown put
the Sun Devils ahead. That play
was reviewed, and Benjamin
had just barely extended the
ball far enough to score.
“He told me, ‘Just give me the
ball. I’m going to win this
According to ESPN Stats &
Information, Harris became the
first Crimson Tide running
back in the past 20 seasons with
multiple receiving TDs in a
game. He’s also the first SEC
running back to catch more
than one touchdown in a game
since Tennessee’s Alvin Kam­
ara in 2015.

After falling behind late, the
Spartans drove back to the
Arizona State 24 and, after
spiking the ball to stop the clock
with 11 seconds left, they ap­
peared to have enough time for
one more throw. But with no
timeouts remaining, Michigan

and eventually the field goal

Wyoming marks 1969
ouster of black players
By Mead Gruver
LARAMIE, Wyo. —
Fifty years after 14 black
football players were
kicked off the University
of Wyoming football team
for seeking to wear arm­
bands to protest racism,
eight of them returned to
the Laramie campus to
commemorate the anni­
versary as the school took
another step toward rec­
onciliation.

so­called

joined an

was dedicat­

HIGH SCHOOLS
St. Ignatius tops Gonzaga Prep
By Mitch Stephens
The star power of
Teddye Buchanan and
reputation of the 2019 St.
Ignatius football team
continues to rise.
Buchanan, a 6­foot­2,
215­pound senior quar­
terback and linebacker,
accounted for all five
touchdowns as the host
Wildcats (2­1) defeated
Gonzaga Prep­Spokane
(Wash.) 37­22 on Satur­
day afternoon.
Buchanan threw for
150 yards and three
scores and ran for two
others as St. Ignatius
rebounded from a 28­21
loss at Sacred Heart
Prep­Atherton last week
and turned around a
42­37 loss to Gonzaga
Prep last season.
The Wildcats raced to
a 20­0 lead on two touch­
down catches by Danny
Ryan (nine catches, 100
yards) and one from Joe
Celentano before Gon­
zaga (1­1) clawed back on
rushing touchdowns by
Javen Ortega (1 yard),
Robert Collier (9 yards)
and Ryan McKenna (80
yards).
But Buchanan, The
Chronicle’s No. 37­
ranked player in the Bay
Area who is being re­
cruited as a linebacker,
showed off his physical
nature with rushing
scores of 1 yard and 3
yards to put it away.
“I liked the way we
competed and responded
from last week,” St. Igna­
tius coach John Regalia
said. “We got off to that
fast start, which was
good, but we still obvi­
ously have a lot of work
to do. We’re in a good
spot.”
Deven Enos had a
fumble recovery and an
interception for the
Wildcats, and lineback­
ers Siaki Gallegos Hun­
great, but right now, this
is something that I missed
50 years ago, something I
desired 50 years ago,
maybe even a bowl bid,”
McGee said. “Right now,
this is so special in my life.
At this moment, this is
No. 1.”
The Black 14 are now
being recognized as lead­
ers in the tradition of
protest in sport. It’s a
pantheon that includes
U.S. and San Jose State
track and field athletes
Tommie Smith and John
Carlos, who raised their
fists on a 1968 Olympics
medal podium to protest
racism and injustice.
More recently, former
49ers quarterback Colin
Kaepernick accused the
NFL of blackballing him
for kneeling during the
national anthem before
games to protest police
violence against African
Americans.
Protest is appropriate
for athletes who want to
use their fame and visibil­
ity to be heard, Black 14
member Tony Gibson
said.
“You can judge them
any way you want. But
when they’re saying
things that matter or are
trying to draw your atten­
tion to things that might
need addressing, I think
it’s very important,” Gib­
son said.
On Oct. 17, 1969, Wyo­
ming head coach Lloyd
Eaton summarily dis­
missed the players and
revoked their scholar­
ships after they met with
him to propose wearing
black armbands during
an upcoming game
against BYU.
The players wanted to
protest racism some of
them experienced in
kin and Buchanan made
big impacts on defense.
“That was a very good
team we beat,” Regalia
said. “They run the ball
extremely well, but I
liked our tenacity and
effort.”
Friday’s games
#1 De La Salle-Concord 42,
Folsom 27: Some 5,000 fans
jammed Folsom’s stadium to
see if the Bulldogs (2-1) could
snap the Spartans’ 301-game
unbeaten streak against
Northern California oppo-
nents. De La Salle (3-1)
squashed all of that in the first
23 minutes, racing to a 28-0
lead. Junior quarterback Dori-
an Hale set the tone on the
game’s fourth play with a
69-yard touchdown run, part
of his four-touchdown perfor-
mance. Folsom’s Elijhah
Badger had 14 catches for 169
yards and two touchdowns.
The Bulldogs recovered two
onside kicks late and scored
the game’s final 13 points. But,
clearly, the Spartans were in
control while beating Folsom
for a fourth consecutive time.
De La Salle used its veer
offense to roll up more than
200 first-half rushing yards.
James Coby and Hale each
capped long drives with 1-yard
touchdown runs in the first
half and Blas Guerrero added
field goals of 39 and 27 yards
as De La Salle led 28-0. But
Badger made it interesting for
the home fans, hauling in a
26-yard touchdown pass from
Jake Reithmeier on the last
play of the first half to cut De
La Salle’s lead to 28-7. One
play earlier, Badger turned a
pass into a 37-yard gain. The
Bulldogs drove 86 yards to
open the second half, capped
by another Badger touchdown
on a 19-yard throw over the
middle from Reithmeier (267
yards passing). That made it
28-14 with 7:38 left in the third
quarter.
#2 Liberty-Brentwood 24,
#5 Monte Vista-Danville 21:
Darrion Bartley rushed 40
times for 192 yards and a
touchdown to help Liberty
(4-0) win at Heritage High in
Brentwood. A potential game-
tying field goal attempt from
36 yards for Monte Vista (2-1)
hit the crossbar and dropped
short with 9 seconds left.

BASEBALL
At 32, Posey
at crossroads
after surgery
Giants from page C1
labrum tear, shave bone spurs
and promote cartilage growth
via a microfracture procedure,
there’s a sentiment Posey will
rebound in 2020 because he’ll
have a healthy offseason and
spring training to swing free
and easy, which he couldn’t do
in the months following his
operation.
“I still think I have the abil­
ity to produce on both sides of
the ball,” Posey said. “Each
year can be different. Some­
times there are minor adjust­
ments that can make a big
difference.”
There’s no question Posey is
still producing on the defensive
end. The numbers on Fan­
graphs.com show he remains
one of baseball’s top catchers,
based on his rankings in defen­
sive runs saved (tied for third)
and pitch framing (sixth). He’s
throwing out 31% of would­be
base stealers, topping the
league average of 28%.
Offensively, however, Posey
has the lowest batting average,
on­base percentage and slug­
ging percentage of his career
(.257/.321/.366), and at least
part of it could be attributed to
the aftermath of his surgery in
August of last year.
Posey was on crutches for
six weeks, continued his rehab
through the winter and eased
into spring training games.
Opening Day wasn’t a given,
but he was behind the plate for
the first pitch thrown by Madi­
son Bumgarner.
Manager Bruce Bochy: “It’s
at least a year before you get
back closer to what you were.
Hey, this guy wasn’t able to do
much during the winter. We
had to watch his workload this
spring, and we’ve done it dur­
ing the season, to be honest.”
Hitting coach Alonzo Pow­
ell: “I’ve seen some days he
looks really, really good, and
there are some other days it
seems like he’s coming off that
hip a little bit, coming off his
back side and leaking for­
ward.”
Catcher Stephen Vogt: “He’s
still learning how to hit with
that new (surgically repaired)
hip. He hasn’t had an offsea­
son. It’s going to be good
enough to play, good enough to
get through. But it’s not going
to feel back to normal for a full
year.”
Bumgarner: “I would say
watch out for him next year. I
don’t think there’s any way
around it. Especially having
more time with the hip. I think
he’ll have a big year next year.
He’s way too good.”
Posey isn’t into excuses. He
never blamed his offensive
numbers on his hip, not last
year when approaching sur­
gery and not this year when
coming off surgery. He simply
says all players deal with aches
and pains to some degree.
Asked directly if the hip has
affected his play, Posey said, “I
don’t know if I can answer
that. The competitor in me is
going to say no, right? That
there’s stuff I can do? Still, I
feel I can still be productive at
the major league level. It’s all
about adjusting and constantly
tweaking.”
After the surgery, the Gi­
ants’ brass hoped Posey’s
swing would return closer to
normal this year, but in retro­
spect, that was wishful think­
ing.
Posey didn’t spend a day on
the injured list because of the
hip. He was shelved in May
with concussion symptoms
and in June with a hamstring
injury.
If it’s true he’ll continue
progressing the further he is
from surgery, perhaps we’re
noticing the early signs. Two
weeks ago, Bochy bumped
Posey, in a 2­for­26 funk, down
to fifth in the lineup for the
first time all season.
Since then, he’s hitting .350
in 40 at­bats (all singles).
“It hasn’t gone the way that I
wanted to personally,” Posey
said of his season. “You try to
learn from everything you go
XXXXX
through, good or bad, and
reassess. If you try to make the
goal about helping the team
win, that’s usually going to
help you be the most produc­
tive player you can be.”
When Posey wasn’t hitting,
he was still helping defensive­
ly. Working with the staff,
calling games, framing pitches
and throwing to bases remain
invaluable to the Giants, espe­
cially with so many young
pitchers.
In fact, the man who best
knows Posey’s catching abil­
ities suggests his longtime
buddy actually has improved
on defense. Bumgarner has
pitched to Posey in 224 reg­
ular­season starts, second
most among active batteries
(262 for St. Louis’ Adam Wain­
wright and Yadier Molina) and
the most by any Giants tandem
since 1900.
“He’s gotten even better,”
Bumgarner said. “He’s paid
attention to all the new metrics
and all the nonsense that they
have these days, and he’s made
an effort to get even better. We
still do a lot of game­calling
instinctually and are a little
more creative sometimes than
going straight to the scouting
report. But it’s a good mixture
of both.”
Posey has developed a
strong camaraderie with Vogt,
the Giants’ other catcher who
has evolved into a key part of
the team. Vogt grew up a Gi­ Scott Strazzante / The Chronicle
ants fan in Visalia and deeply Defensively, Buster Posey remains one of the game’s best. This season he is throwing out 31%

catcher. I think he’ll have a big year next year. He’s way too good.”
The feeling has been mutual.
When listing the positives in Madison Bumgarner, on Buster Posey
2019, Posey mentioned several
first­year players, including
outfielder Mike Yastrzemski,
the progress of young pitchers
and this: “I really enjoy playing
with Vogt this year. I’ve always
been a fan, so getting to know
him has been great.”
“Obviously, that’s an honor
coming from him,” Vogt said.
“I’ve admired him from across
the way for so long. He’s a true
pro. And to meet the person
that I admired, it’s been really
neat to know he’s even a better
person than baseball player.
He’s become a friend.”
Asked to elaborate, Vogt
said, “He’s a great human. He
cares about others. He puts his
family ahead of baseball, and
that’s the mark of a true pro­
fessional and will last a lot
longer than any accolades you
can get on the field.”
Posey said he has made an
effort to not allow any on­field
frustrations to affect his home
life. He and wife Kristen, high Scott Strazzante / The Chronicle
school sweethearts from Lees­ Posey (left) anticipates a moving sendoff for his longtime manager, Bruce Bochy. “The

dren, live full time in the Bay
Area and are active in the com­
munity, especially with their
mission to fight pediatric can­
cer.
But taking his mind off
baseball can be “a challenge,”
he said.
“All you have to do is ask my
wife about that,” Posey said.
“You try to look at something
like this, a year that hasn’t
gone as well as I’d like, it’s a
chance to grow in that area as a
husband and as a dad and try
to understand when I’m done
playing this game, there’s a few
people in my life who will still
be around, and those are the
people at home now, so they
don’t need to get the bad end of
me.”
The season’s final days will
be emotional for Posey. Not
only is Bumgarner (and Vogt)
heading for free agency, but the
only manager Posey has had in
the majors is retiring.
“The Giants’ marketing
people have a good way of
tugging at the heartstrings,”
said Posey, anticipating a mov­
ing sendoff for Bochy, who is
destined for the Hall of Fame.
In 25 seasons as a manager,
13 with the Giants, no player Santiago Mejia / The Chronicle
has been more valuable to Posey has the lowest batting average, on­base percentage and slugging percentage of his
Bochy than his catcher — a career (.257/.321/.366), and at least part of it could be attributed to the aftermath of surgery.

achievements include MVP,
Rookie of the Year, Comeback
Player of the Year, a batting
crown, a Gold Glove and four
Silver Slugger awards.
He also caught three no­
hitters, including Matt Cain’s
perfect game.
Bochy thinks Posey should
be a Hall of Fame lock.
“I challenge you to find guys
with his resume who are not
in the Hall of Fame,” Bochy
said. “What hasn’t the guy
done? What hasn’t he
achieved? What catcher has
accomplished as much as he
has since he’s been catching in
Scott Strazzante / The Chronicle recent history here?
Fans hope that Posey, who is in his 10th full year, will stick around for years to come. “I know longevity plays a
part in this, and he’s going to
keep playing. You look at his
lifetime numbers, they’re
going to grow.”
What will his numbers be in
2020? 2021? Those are ques­
tions Giants fans will ponder.
Meantime, Bart remains on
the fast track after hitting a
combined .278 with 16 homers
and 48 RBIs in 79 games at
Class A San Jose and Dou­
ble­A Richmond, where he
batted .472 in his final 10
games.
Bart, 22, missed time early
in the season with a broken
hand and will play in the Ari­
zona Fall League.
If Bart follows Posey’s time­
table, he would be called up
midseason, two years after the
draft, and moved into a per­
manent role. Or because of the
injury, perhaps his arrival
would be later. Either way,
he’s coming. Does that mean
Posey will move to first base?
Does it mean he would share
playing time behind the plate
with Bart, who will try play­
ing a corner infield spot in the
Ross D. Franklin / Associated Press AFL?
Joey Bart, the franchise’s best prospect and catcher of the future, could debut next summer. Posey said he’s open to
better chance to win.
“This is my 10th year now,
and I think since year one
we’ve talked about when I’m
going to move to first,” said a
smiling Posey, who added,
“One of the greatest gifts you
can give to a young player is to
have his back and support him
whenever he gets here and try
to help him grow.
“It’s a game 99% of us really
like, so we want to see it get
better and better. You try to
pay it forward, right? It’s
something to analyze when
the time comes.”
The season ends in two
weeks, and Posey won’t face a
winter of rehab like last year.
It should allow him to do his
normal routine of baseball
activities, a refreshing change.
“This winter will be really
good for Buster,” Powell said.
“He’ll have some time to get in
the gym, strengthen his legs,
work on his swing and actu­
ally be healthy in the offsea­
son.”
Vogt added, “He has a lot
left in the tank. He’s one of the
greatest catchers to ever play
this game. I think next year
you’re going to see a truly
healthy Buster back at it, and
he’s going to have a great year.
I believe that wholeheartedly.”
Posey won’t look ahead that
far, not when there’s still base­
ball to be played in 2019.
“The simplistic way to look
at it is trying to do what you
can to help the team win,” he
said, “and if you have that
mind­set and get the work in
each day, it usually makes the
game a little more fun.”

Chiefs pose early speed test
Raiders from page C1
the oldest roster in the NFL
in Week 1 last season; this
year, they had the ninth youn­
gest. Of 22 starters on offense
and defense in last year’s
season­ending loss in Kansas
City, just eight reprised their
roles in the Raiders’ 24­16 win
over the Broncos on Monday
night.
“You need to have speed in
this league,” Gruden said last
week. “I was here before and
the guy that ran the Raiders
(former owner Al Davis) be­
lieved in one thing, and one
thing first, and it was speed.
And then it was size. We need
to get bigger and faster, and
so far we’ve made some
strides there and we’ve got to
continue to do that.”
Chiefs head coach Andy
Reid agreed with that as­
sessment on a conference call
last week.
“They were playing fast as
all get out the other day,” Reid
said. “So I think it’s probably
mission accomplished on that
part. They can run.”
Gruden, in turn, distilled
his scouting report of this
year’s Chiefs down to a famil­
iar word.
“It’s speed,” Gruden said,
“Speed on special teams,
speed on defense, speed on
offense. They have tremen­
dous speed and they make
you defend every inch of
grass. Laterally, with the jet
sweeps, you’ve got to defend
them sideline to sideline.
They can outrun you, out­
flank you, and vertically they
can run right by you over the
top.
“And (quarterback Patrick)
Mahomes can make any
throw, he has proven, right­
or left­handed, looking or not
looking. So you understand
the problem that everybody
has dealing with them.”

is another speed threat.
“They’re just explosive,”
Conley said. “I feel like we’ve

Spotlight on: Safety Curtis
Riley. He figures to step in for
Johnathan Abram, who was lost
for the season to a shoulder
injury. But this is a game where
he might have been a factor
anyway. The Raiders signed Riley,
who had four interceptions last
season for the Giants, primarily
as a deep coverage safety. And
the Chiefs have plenty of deep
speed, even without Tyreek Hill,
in Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hard-
man and De’Anthony Thomas.
Riley and the Raiders’ secondary
can’t let those players blow the
game open with big plays.

NASCAR CUP SERIES
Gibbs has heavyweight lineup in playoffs
By Jenna Fryer
LAS VEGAS — Joe Gibbs
has a powerhouse lineup lead­
ing the NASCAR playoffs,
with four drivers laser­focused
on winning the overall title. If
there is a favorite in this 10­
race tournament, it would be
one of Gibbs’ guys.
Only the championship isn’t
decided on regular­season
strength, and is instead a cal­
culated series of three­race
segments in which a driver
need only advance. The goal is
to qualify for one of the four
slots in the Nov. 17 finale,
where the winner at Home­
stead­Miami Speedway will
claim the Cup.
Joey Logano was the dark
horse spoiler a year ago, when
he snatched away the title that
Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick
and Martin Truex Jr. had set
their sights on as the strongest
drivers of the regular season.
The so­called “Big 3” walked
away empty­handed, shocked
that a season’s worth of work
meant nothing in the final run
of the year.
The domination this year
has been at Joe Gibbs Racing,
which combined for 13 wins in
26 races. Busch is the regular­
season champion, Denny
Hamlin the Daytona 500 win­
ner and Truex is trying to win
a second title in three years.
Erik Jones, meanwhile, is fresh
off a Southern 500 victory and
a contract extension with Toy­
ota’s flagship organization.
All four expect to be racing
for the title at Homestead, and
the organization will undoubt­
edly have fallen short if it
doesn’t advance at least two
drivers to the final four.
“If you don’t win a champi­
onship, it’s disappointing,”
Busch said. “I’ve been to the
Homestead race four years in a
row and I’ve only won it once.
I don’t know if that is a little

but it feels like I can get there
and just can’t seal the deal.”
The playoffs begin Sunday
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
with a 16­driver field that is cut
by four after every third race.
The JGR group has some early
breathing room based on bo­
nus points earned in the reg­
ular season. For example,
Busch opens the playoffs with
a 45­point lead over Clint Bow­
yer and Ryan Newman, the
lowest­seeded drivers in the
field.
The strongest challenger to
Gibbs is likely Kevin Harvick,
who was fast all season but
couldn’t get to victory lane
until late July. Harvick has
since won three of the past
seven races, including a Brick­
yard 400 victory last Sunday
at Indianapolis Motor Speed­

But Stewart­Haas Racing,
despite qualifying three of its
four drivers for the playoffs,
isn’t as strong as it was a year
ago in part because it took the
organization longer than ex­
pected to adapt to the 2019
rules package. Harvick, on a
wave of momentum, believes
his team is ready to race for a
title.
“We want to just hammer
away, race by race,” he said. “I
think the backup plan is to
survive and advance. But we
want to win. We want to be
racing for the lead and trying
to win stages and be aggres­
sive. You have to adapt and
adjust as the weeks go by but it
is definitely an aggressive, one
week at a time approach.”

formidable; only Keselowski
and Logano could keep pace
with the Gibbs group early this
season. Logano believes he is
among the favorites this year.
“I feel better about this year
than I did last year, for sure,”
Logano said. “It almost doesn’t
matter who the favorite is
because it can change in the
matter of a week.”
Hendrick Motorsports, led
by Chase Elliott, got three of
its four drivers into the play­
offs. The exception is glaring:
Jimmie Johnson didn’t make
the field and won’t race for a
record eighth championship.
It’s the first time in 15 years of
this format that Johnson did
not qualify.
Elliott is consistently the
strongest of the Hendrick

Lion sightings on rise on Peninsula
TOM STIENSTRA
Three open space preserves
in a 5­mile span on the South
Peninsula are on alert for
mountain lions after several
sightings and a preserve clo­
sure — and the memory of a
lion attack on a 6­year­old boy
in the same area almost five
years ago to the day.
The Midpeninsula Regional
Open Space District has es­
tablished a mountain lion
hotline at 650­691­2165, the
fastest way to report an in­
cident to a ranger, said Leigh
Ann Gessner at MidPen’s
headquarters.
Rancho San Antonio Open
Space Preserve was reopened
this past week after a female
mountain lion and her three
yearling cubs were tracked
moving outside of areas pop­
ular with visitors, according
to the Midpeninsula open
space district.
Rangers had closed the
park when the lions were
sighted several times in areas
near hikers and mountain
bikers. That was followed by
an unverified report that a
trail runner sighted a female
lion and two cubs, perhaps
the same animals, at Fremont
Older Open Space, which is
located about 5 miles south of
Rancho San Antonio on the
east side of Stevens Creek
Reservoir.
Between those two pre­
serves is Picchetti Ranch
Preserve, located west of Ste­
vens Creek Reservoir, the site
of a lion attack in the first
week of September 2014.
In that encounter, a 65­
pound yearling lion grabbed a
6­year­old boy from his par­
ents and dragged the boy into
the brush. The boy was bit
and scratched, but his parents
fought off the lion to save their
son. After hospital care the
boy recovered, according to
the Department of Fish and
Wildlife. The DFW hired a
federal tracker to corner the
lion and kill it, where its iden­
tity was confirmed by a DNA
test.
On top of the encounters on
the South Peninsula, moun­
tain lions were also sighted in
San Francisco at Lake Merced
and Golden Gate Park, of all
places — likely refugees from
the Crystal Springs water­
shed.

Why now? Why here?
This is happening now, in
September, because young
male lions are growing of age
and facing the challenge of
leaving their mothers. Older
alpha males, facing a potential
threat from youngsters, will
drive them off and force them
to find their own hunting
grounds. They end up being
pushed into populated areas
where pet dogs and cats can
end up as prey.
Of the 26 open space pre­
serves managed by the Mid­
peninsula Regional Open
Space District, Rancho San
Antonio attracts the highest
numbers of visitors, accord­
ing to in­house numbers, with
exceptional hiking, mountain
biking and picnic areas, and
the highest and most dynamic
wildlife sightings by far. Ran­

Lion encounters
Do: Pick up small children and
dogs. Make sure the lion has an
escape route. Face the animal.
Stand your ground. Raise your
arms wide. Be vocal with au-
thoritative commands. In lion
country, carry a hiking stick, and
if charged, hit it as hard as you
can in the nose. Carry bear spray
(some parks do not permit this),
and if the lion continues to ap-
proach, let loose at 20 feet (it
creates a cloud-like vapor in the
lion’s path). If grabbed, fight
back with everything you’ve got.
Educate your hiking partners to
do the same.
Don’t: Small children should not
walk outside your control and
dogs should not run free. Do not
run, crouch or shriek — these are
all things that soon-to-die prey
might do. Do not try to climb a
tree. Do not play dead. Do not
approach or corner them. Do not
give up. Educate your hiking
partners to do the same.

Beyond escaping the unpre­

BART don’t pay property tax on
buildings they own.
The biggest hurdle: Buyers
must have cash, or the ability to
borrow it cheaply.
BART will issue low­interest
bonds backed by sales tax reve­
nue, which made the purchase
attractive, Brooks said. The
bonds won’t lead to any tax
increases and don’t require
voter approval.

Recession or
slowdown?
Difference
can be crucial
By Jeanna Smialek
The United States is on
recession watch as market
signals flash red. Manufactur­
ing is straining under Presi­
dent Trump’s trade war, busi­
ness investment is slowing,
and consumer confidence is
showing cracks.
But many economists expect
that growth will weaken
slightly over the next couple of
years — without actually con­
tracting — and that distinction
is crucial. The Federal Reserve
chair, Jerome Powell, said this
month that “the most likely
outlook for our economy re­
mains a favorable one with
moderate growth,” and “our
main expectation is not at all
that there will be a recession.”
Economic growth that dips
substantially lower can hurt,
especially for workers in hard­
hit industries. But the after­
math of weak growth has his­
torically differed pretty sharp­
ly from the fallout caused by
an all­out recession. Here is a
rundown of the differences,
and why they could matter to
your job and bank account.
What is a recession, and
who decides? While econom­
ic growth has moderated only
slightly so far, forecasters
think America is headed for a
deeper pullback. The economy
expanded by 2.9% in 2018, and
economists expect that pace to
slow to 2.3% in 2019 before
falling to 1.8% next year, based
on the median in a survey by
Bloomberg. Several particular­
ly glum forecasters even ex­
pect the economy to shrink for
one or two quarters in 2020.
If that happens, it would not
necessarily mark the start of
an official downturn. The
United States does not define a
recession as two consecutive
quarters of shrinking output,
although economists and the
news media sometimes use
that rule of thumb.
Instead, a committee at the
National Bureau of Economic
Research, a nonprofit founded
in 1920, dates U.S. recessions.
It is made up of eight leading
economists, many of whom
have been on it for decades.
The committee looks at a
range of data — including
early indicators, like industrial
production and a monthly
growth series produced by the
firm Macroeconomic Advisers
— and uses that information to
call a downturn.
When will we find out if
we’re in a recession? Not for
a while. “It really is highly
unlikely” that the committee
will declare a recession before
the 2020 election, said Robert
Gordon, a Northwestern Uni­
versity economist who has
been on the recession­dating
committee since 1978. Data
takes a long time to reflect a
slowdown, and growth num­
bers, including the monthly
GDP index, still look firm.
Historically, it has taken six
to 21 months from the actual
start of a recession to the for­
mal declaration. The commit­
tee announced the start of the
recession that started after
December 2007 about 11
months later.
That said, other economic
authorities often point out
contractions first. Staff at the
Federal Reserve, for instance,
believed by March 2008 that
the economy was moving into
recession — a full nine months
before the official dating. The
Fed has yet to signal similar
fears in 2019. While output
growth slowed to a 2.0% annual
rate in the second quarter from
3.1% earlier in the year, accord­
ing to early data, that is still a
decent reading, and consumer
spending remains strong.
What do slowdowns feel
like? The fact that the econo­
my is not shrinking yet and
may avert a recession altogeth­
er does not mean that every­
thing will be sunshine and
rainbows.
The 2015­16 slowdown shows
why. Growth pulled back that
year as fuel prices plummeted
and oil­patch investment dried
up, leading to less drilling and
less equipment buying. Un­
employment shot up in Wyo­
ming and Texas; oil and gas
employment nationally fell off a
cliff. Consumer sentiment even
took a hit.
For the most part, though,
the pain was geographically
isolated. American shoppers
overall continued to spend,
household income rose, and
poverty fell.
Will slower growth leave me
unemployed? The 2016 experi­
ence proved that for workers in
affected industries, a slowdown
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said this month that “the most likely outlook for our
economy remains a favorable one with moderate growth” — and no recession.

alone can be enough to cost a
job. Manufacturing work seems
most acutely at risk in the cur­
rent weakening: Hiring in the
sector has already slowed — it
has grown just 1% in the past 12
months, down from a 2% pace
last summer.
If economic growth drops
below its sustainable level —
which many economists put in
the neighborhood of 1.75%,
based on demographic and
productivity trends — it could,
in theory, lead to higher un­
employment and slower wage
growth more broadly.
Typically, though, it has
taken outright recession to
cause unemployment to rise
across a range of industries in
America. Aside from one mild
instance in the mid­1990s, the
headline jobless rate has not
jumped without an actual
downturn in recent business
cycles.
That’s partly because a reces­
sion becomes far more likely
once businesses start cutting
jobs. Employers are reluctant to
lay off workers until business
gets pretty bad because hiring
and training is expensive. Once
they are forced to cut their head
count and workers start to lose

BUSINESS
Want to be in VC world? Better act nice
By Nellie Bowles
The first rule of Silicon Valley
venture capital is never insult a
startup. Founders are always
killing it, disrupting the world
or just plain raising the roof.
If a startup is fizzling, shut­
tering or caught scamming? The
socially acceptable response is
total silence.
Everyone knows that. Except
Jason Palmer.
The startup in question was
AltSchool, a Mark Zuckerberg­
backed project to turn school
into a startup experience. It had
just announced it was pivoting
out of existence after raising
$174 million.
Palmer is in this field: He is a
venture capitalist in Washing­
ton, D.C., focused on education
technology. On June 29, he
tweeted that AltSchool was
always a bad idea, and he was
glad that his firm hadn’t in­
vested in it.
That single jab at a failed
company sent the investor elite
into conniptions.
“This is likely the most ex­
pensive tweet you’ll ever post,”
wrote Mark Rose, at the time a
product manager at Google,
now the vice president of prod­
uct at a biotech startup called
Ontera. “That’s the $ lesson.”
Many said Palmer should be
boxed out of future deals.
A startup founder funded by
Y Combinator, an influential
startup training program and
investment firm, flagged Palm­
er’s firm to his funders: “We
might want to warn future
edtech founders (YC or not)
about their best practices,” Alex
Bouaziz wrote on Twitter.
It goes on.
“I wish I could short your
portfolio,” Michael Karnja­
naprakorn tweeted. He is the
founder of Otis, which facilitat­
es investments in art and sneak­
ers.
And on.
“Dude, you realize you are
literally the worst,” wrote Steve
Cheney, a founder of Estimote,
which makes sensors for track­
ing devices.
Michael Arrington, the pug­
nacious founder of TechCrunch,
added a note of criticism. The
co­founder of an e­sports collab­
oration tool described “putting
startups on blast” in this man­
ner as “toxic behavior.”
Parker Conrad, the former
CEO of Zenefits, a human re­
sources startup, who has since
started a similar startup,
jumped in.
“So easy to say this from the
cheap seats. No founder in ed­
tech should ever pitch their
company to you again,” Conrad
wrote. “It’s so easy to predict
something will fail. You’ll be
right 9 times out of 10. You will
never build anything meaning­
ful.”
Inevitably, there was Palm­
er’s apology. It came in four
self­effacing parts, beginning by
thanking everyone for the feed­
back.
“Hi everyone — First of all, I
really appreciate the feedback,
both positive and negative I’ve
received from this tweet all day.
I believe in honest, tough con­
versations, and that’s what all of
you have given me.”
After a few more apology
missives, he apologized to the
founders, who poured six years
of “their heart and soul” into the
project.
Palmer believed he would
save his investors money by not
investing in a startup that would
have lost it. He was right. But in
the cacophony of venture cap­
italist boosting, that became
about emotion, and even soul.
A founder’s soul is a surpris­
ingly common discussion topic
in the tech world, often as a
defense of a particularly egre­
gious news cycle. In social set­
tings, debate over a company
Getty Images
like Facebook will quickly get
personal, cutting to the question
of what its chief executive feels
in their heart.
Zuckerberg, when caught in a
scandal, rinses himself in apol­
ogies. He does this so often that
the Washington Post made a
graphic of his heartfelt mea
culpas.
The rhetoric of soul and heart
is a sleight of hand to distract
from the boring truth that tech
companies are, of course, for­
profit corporations.
After Palmer’s tweet, he was
shaken. He said he had no idea
how upset everyone would get
and that he had no intention of
hurting anyone.
“It’s been overwhelming,” he
said.
He sent out a carefully word­
ed email a few hours later.
“The biggest lesson I’ve
learned is to think harder about
all the people who might be
affected by any tweet,” he wrote.
“Founders, teachers, employees,
students, they’re all real people
with real lives, feelings and
stories. They’re much more
than 280 characters.”
By not knowing the rules, he
showed exactly what those rules
are, and just how the Silicon
Valley positivity machine runs.
For venture capitalists, Twitter
is a place to sell. It’s a place to
talk up portfolio companies. It’s
a place to perform the industry
pastime of “thought leading.”
Venture capitalists do not
think of themselves this way, of
course. CB Insights, a company
that performs industry analysis,
polled venture capitalists on this
question: “Should VCs avoid
public criticism of the industry /
startups?”
The result was clear: 88% said
investors should feel free to
criticize.
So, two months after the
tweet, how is Palmer feeling?
The outrage that came both in
public and private did not, in the
end, oust him from the industry.
He continues to invest.
For him, it was “a reminder,”
he said, that tech entrepreneurs
truly believe they are saving the
world. He wanted to be clear
now that he truly believes this,
too. They were right. His tweet
was very bad. He has been chas­
tened.
“Tech entrepreneurs are just
as mission driven as people in
nonprofits,” Palmer said. “They
believe they are helping the
world just as much as nonprofit
founders.”
But of course most startups
fail, he added, a little quieter,
and the tech world ought to
learn how to talk about failure.
“In fact, most high­risk start­
ups are nonprofits,” he said.
“Effectively nonprofits.”
His public messages now
accord with Silicon Valley ven­
ture capital norms.

a frustrating experience

my walker. I asked a member
of staff, who was cleaning
trays, for assistance in bring­
ing it to where I was sitting.
The man I asked said he
would help and immediately
demanded a tip for his “help

that access in a restaurant is
the law and providing ac­
commodation was not a
privileged extra service that
warranted compensation.
He then doubled down on
why I should tip him directly
— I already tipped when I
placed my order at the count­

the manager to relate what
happened, explained why
this was wrong, the nature of
access and the ADA. The
manager completely
brushed it off, said he was a
“good kid,” gave a lackluster
apology, and didn’t seem to
understand the point or
purpose of accommodations
and access.
It is humiliating and
wrong that providing equal

What makes you feel
welcome in a restaurant?
I eat out about once a week,
and appreciate friendly and
accommodating staff that
don’t feel awkward that I’m a
wheelchair user. I particular­
ly dislike it when someone at
a restaurant asks a nondisa­
bled friend what I want or
just speaks to them rather
than me. To be honest, the
ideal feeling is simply being
treated like anyone else.
It’s always nice if a restau­
rant has thought about space
and ensuring that it’s easy to
navigate using a wheelchair.
However, I appreciate this is
not easy for restaurants in a

small premises. And finally,
there is nothing more frus­
trating than a restaurant with
a really small or inaccessible
restroom.
What don’t nondisabled
people understand about
your experience of going
out to eat?
Attitudes are much better
compared to when I was a kid,
but sometimes people forget
that I want a dining experience
just like anywhere else.
A restaurant I love: 21st
Amendment Brewery, San
Francisco. It’s a two­minute
walk, with nice food and beer,
and it’s the nearest thing I can

What makes you feel
welcome in a restaurant?
Autistic people have senso­
ry processing differences. If I
have a coffee meeting, I show
up an hour early to see if I can
absorb the sound or if I need
to make alternative arrange­
ments for a more sensory­
friendly place. Certainly, a
quiet and softly lit ambiance
helps accommodate autistic
people like myself. However, I
find acceptance, understand­
ing and the desire to work
with a disabled community to
be the most important accom­
modation of all. Everything
else flows from there.
What don’t other people
understand about your
experience of going out
to eat?
A dinner in a crowded,
noisy restaurant can be phys­
ically painful. It can drain
much of my energy. That
doesn’t mean that I don’t
want to be included or not
asked to come along. Howev­
er, the more restaurants and
individuals can help autistic
patrons reduce the static of
the experience by providing a
more calm environment, the
better off we’ll tend to be.
Additionally, there are lots of
autistic people who work in
the food­service industry.
That type of approach spills
over to employees as well.
A restaurant I love: Man­
ny’s, San Francisco. Manny’s
in the Mission is a tremendous
example of being accessible and
inclusive. Ironically, the front
cafe is not particularly sensory
friendly. It is popular and
crowded and the concrete
floors often make it too loud for
me. However, Manny’s pro­
vides a back room for dining,
which often serves for me as a
sensory retreat. More impor­
tantly, it provides that back
room to groups for community
building.

COVER STORY
The problem with the ban on

plastic straws
By Soleil Ho

Since San Francisco and other cities banned single­use consumer plasticware, food businesses — res­
taurants, grocery stores, cafes — have been experimenting with alternatives to the previously ubiquitous
plastic straw. Soon, plastic straws will become a faint memory, like Tab soda, VHS rewinders and floppy
disks, a remnant of an unenlightened past that we’ll laugh about once we’ve defeated global warming and

Beyond the restaurant’s

activism, though, is a suc­

national hub
By Justin Phillips
Two hours before Mozzeria opened for dinner in San
Francisco’s Mission District, owners Melody and Rus­
sell Stein sat in the pizza shop’s dining room. They were
discussing, through American Sign Language, how
many days it takes a dollar to cycle out of the local Deaf
community.
“I read an article recently
that shows how in Asian
communities, a dollar circu­
lates for 28 days. In the Jew­
ish community, it’s 19 days.
In the black community, it’s 6
hours,” Russell Stein signed
through an interpreter.
“In the Deaf community,
that dollar is gone out of the
community in just seconds.
That’s because at any busi­
ness, a Deaf person’s dollar is
handed to a person that can
hear.” (Ed. note: Many peo­
ple affiliated with Deaf com­
munities and culture use
“Deaf,” while “deaf” may
refer to the audiological
condition as well as people
who do not identify as cul­
turally Deaf.)
The Stein’s 8­year­old
business is the only one of its
kind in San Francisco and
also arguably one of the most
unique Neapolitan pizzerias
in the country: Mozzeria’s
entire staff, just like its own­
ers, are deaf.
“I would just want it to
stay in our community for
five minutes, maybe an
hour,” Stein continued.
With a forthcoming ex­
pansion to Washington, D.C.,
and renewed national atten­
tion, the Steins see Mozzeria
as an example of how mar­
ginalized groups, such as the
country’s Deaf populace, can
push to establish their own
economic power in a country
where they’re often excluded
from mainstream economic,
political, cultural and social
activities.
“We want to create a safe
place where Deaf people feel
welcome,” Melody Stein said.
“Success as a business is
different to everyone. We just
want to build a community.”
Mozzeria’s Washington,
D.C., outpost will be next to
Gallaudet University, the
world­renowned school for
the Deaf and hard of hearing.
The growing company was
given a notable boost by the
Communication Service for
the Deaf Social Venture
Fund, in the form of several
million dollars of funding for
national expansion.
By hiring Deaf workers,
the Steins hope to chip away
at national data showing
roughly 40 percent of deaf
people in the country are
unemployed or underem­
ployed. “If we don’t hire Deaf
employees then who will?
That’s why we committed to
having a 100 percent Deaf
staff,” Melody said. “Suc­
cessfully empowering others
means creating jobs for
them, showing them they
can accomplish the things
that we’ve done.”
Melody grew up around

restaurants, as her family
ran several restaurants in
San Francisco; her dream
was to one day run her own
food business. But the pro­
cess was rocky. In the early
days, Melody said she was
often denied financing and
struggled to find assistance
from possible business part­
ners for the pizza spot be­
cause of barriers in commu­
nication. Sometimes, she
said, it felt like Mozzeria was
destined to remain a dream.
“If this was a competition,
other people would reach the
finish line before people like
me all the time because I
would keep getting pushed to
the back of the line,” Melody
said.
When Mozzeria opened, it
was just Russell and Melody
working the kitchen and
dining room, hoping to make
things work; today, they still
own the business but have a
board helping with business
decisions. The Steins also
coordinate online training
for businesses interested in
implementing American
Sign Language into their
operations.
In other words, the Steins
are in the business of creat­
ing communities.

simple. Customers can pick

IN THE KITCHEN
REPERTOIRE
Chiles rellenos
skip the fry pan for
roasted richness
By Jessica Battilana

I love battered and fried cheese­stuffed chiles

rellenos. I love a plate of them from my favorite
Mexican restaurant, with a side of soupy beans,
the morning after I’ve had too much to drink. I
have made them at home, but the recipe is fiddly
and messy; I love battered and fried cheese­
stuffed chiles rellenos most when someone else is
doing the frying.
Happily, a poblano need not be deep­fried to be
delicious, and there are countless recipes for chiles
rellenos where the poblanos are simply charred
and skinned, then stuffed and roasted. One of the
best versions I’ve tasted is the one at El Molino
Central, a favorite restaurant in the Sonoma town
of Boyes Hot Springs. Filled with molten cheese
and sweet corn kernels, their version is accompa­
nied by a fresh tomato salad rather than the tradi­
tional lake of tomato sauce that a fried relleno
usually swims around in. You can make this ver­
sion at home, easily, and you should, while deep
green, glossy, broad­shouldered fresh poblano
peppers are abundant at the farmers’ markets and
we can still get our greedy mitts on good tomatoes.
Look for large, unwrinkled peppers that are
fairly straight, because they’re easiest to peel. To
prepare a poblano for stuffing, you’ve got to peel off
its thin, tough skin. If you have a gas stove, place
the peppers directly on the burner grate, turning
them with tongs until they are charred on all sides.
(Make sure you have your hood fan running or
crack a window; this exercise tends to set off my
smoke alarm.) You can also put the peppers on a
baking sheet and blacken them beneath the broiler.
Once the peppers are charred all over, transfer
them to a plastic bag (or a bowl covered in plastic
wrap) and let steam for 10 minutes before peeling.
That’s the fiddliest part of this recipe, and it can
be done a day ahead of when you plan to serve
them. The filling, which is essentially a Mornay
sauce made with heavy cream and a lot of Mon­
terey Jack, into which you fold some fresh corn
kernels, can also be made a day ahead. Or you can

Tres leches cake, of course, is made with at least
three types of milk, most importantly the mixture of
sweetened condensed milk and milk or cream you
use to slowly soak the sponge to the point where it can
barely hold its shape. The cake is then usually fin­
ished with a cloud of fluffy vanilla frosting.
This version from Outerlands in San Francisco’s
Outer Sunset strays from the classic in many ways. To
start, it only calls for one type of milk, and it’s one you
make yourself by soaking toasted coconut flakes in
water. Made with oat and rice flours, the chiffon is

ened with piloncillo, a raw sugar that gives the icing
an interesting edge of caramelized sweetness and a

Denham calls for torching the frosting for an even
more dramatic presentation and garnishing the cake
with more toasted coconut. She also suggests serving
it with strawberries, which have become practically a
year­round staple in California, but you can use any
type of late­summer berries or stone fruit instead.

HOUSING

BIG POTENTIAL IN
TINY HOMES Backyard rentals: One startup will install a prefab home,
find a tenant and even collect the rent for you

Pacifica: An additional
dwelling unit, ADU,
designed by PrefabAdu.

By Ryan Kost

Tiny homes have been hot for a while now.

“Portlandia” lampooned them years ago. Seat­
tle has turned to them to help alleviate the
homelessness crisis. Reality shows document
what it’s like to build (and live in) them, which,
in turn, has led to a whole genre of articles
about tiny home regret. Even local and state
legislators have caught up with the fad, relax­
ing regulations to help homeowners add them
(and other accessory dwelling units, known as
ADUs) to their properties.

In San Francisco, the city prefabricated home (prelimi­

has committed to acting on
applications for ADUs in
four to six months, depend­
ing on the specifics, and just
last month, the city’s Board
of Supervisors also ap­
proved a yearlong trial pro­
gram that waives various
fees for 100% affordable
housing projects and ADUs.
The waivers are likely to
cost the city nearly $2 mil­
lion, while saving some
projects up to $150,000,
according to city estimates,
all in an effort to encourage
construction of affordable
and in­law units. More than
900 ADUs have been ap­
proved and 190 built since
San Francisco legalized the
units in 2014.
But it can still be a slog to
get them installed. The plan­
ning and detail that go into
an application take a consid­
erable amount of time. Not
to mention familiarity with
code — the city’s fee sched­
ule is some 15 pages long.
And this is all before con­
struction starts.
In recent years, a number
of startups have popped up
along the West Coast to
help. Cover in Los Angeles
and Dweller in Portland,
Ore., do everything from
securing the permitting to
designing and installing a
prefabricated unit.
But a Bay Area company,
Rent the Backyard, is push­
ing the trend even further.
The new startup, part of the
current Y Combinator crop,
wants to take care of all the
work that goes into install­
ing and managing a studio
apartment in your backyard.
They’ll do the planning and
applying. They’ll install the
nary designs by the compa­
ny prefabAdu are sleek and
contemporary). They’ll even
find the tenant and, month
after month, collect the rent.
All the company asks is
that you split the profit with
them — and lease your back­
yard for 30 years.
So far, the company hasn’t
started on any units or, for
that matter, secured any
permits, but Brian Baker­
man, one of Rent the Back­
yard’s co­founders, says
they’ve finished about a
dozen site visits, and they’re
expecting to begin soon on
an initial batch of 10 to 20
units, all around the Penin­
sula or South Bay. At the
moment, the startup is also
raising funds from outside
investors, though Bakerman
wouldn’t say how much.
Rent the Backyard, Baker­
man says, wants to help
homeowners make some
extra income while also
alleviating the region’s
chronic housing shortage.
Once a homeowner signs
their backyard over to Rent
the Backyard, they remain
pretty hands­off. The com­
pany acts as a property
management group: They
pick the occupant, set the
rental price and collect the
rent. Bakerman says they set
rules for the tenant at the
outset. If problems come up,
Rent the Backyard will try
to help, but the homeowner
and tenant “have the same
rights as a normal tenant/
landlord situation.”
After the profit split, the
company estimates an aver­
age customer will see at least
$10,000 in new income every
year.
Bay Area: Rent the Backyard is working with PrefabADU on
backyard rentals. Top and above: PrefabADU exterior and interior.
“It’s so expensive to live
here and keep up with all
the costs,” Bakerman says.
“The idea of just giving up a
little bit of your big back­
yard is not a big deal.”
People have been clam­
oring to add units to base­
ments and garages and
backyards for years. Since
the second half of 2016, San
Francisco’s Open Scope
Studio has helped add four
or five dozen of these units
to existing homes or apart­
ment buildings, mostly in
San Francisco. Actually, says
Mark Hogan, an architect
PrefabAdu photos
and principal at the firm,
they wrote the planning
department’s handbook on
the units.
Most people, Hogan says,
“want to make the best of
underutilized space.” Addi­
tional units can mean addi­
tional income. They can also
be a way for aging home­
owners to downsize or for
younger homeowners to
make room for family
members. And, for the most
part, they’re relatively un­
controversial. For all the
projects his firm has been
involved in, Hogan says,
they’ve never heard a com­
plaint.
Still, Rent the Backyard’s
model raises a number of
legal questions that the
startup isn’t ready to an­
swer. The company’s stan­
dard agreement lasts 30
years, and a homeowner
could stand to gain a consid­
erable fortune over that
time. In San Francisco, for
instance, Rent the Backyard
estimates the homeowner
could make $1,700 a month.
Multiply that by 12 months
and 30 years, and a home­
owner could collect roughly
$600,000. (And that’s as­
suming the rent never rises.)
Clients do have the option of
leasing to friends or family
— they can even offer a
discount, but it’ll come di­
rectly out of their half of the
income.
San Francisco and San
Jose have some of the lon­
gest homeownership rates in
the nation, according to one
recent report — but both
still top out at a little over 10
years. So what if a home­
owner wants out? Rent the
Backyard says there will be
options to pay off the re­
maining equity. Bakerman
wouldn’t go into what a
buyout price might look like,
but he did say it goes down
over time and can usually be
made up in the value the
unit adds to the property.

Brett Gladstone, a partner
at law firm Hanson Bridgett
LLP, isn’t familiar with the
particulars of Rent the
Backyard or other startups
like it, but he called the
terms potentially “frighten­
ing.” The contracts, he said,
would “have to be carefully
reviewed by the state to
make sure they’re not over­
reaching.”
Complex rules about
open space and fire safety
play a big role in adding a
unit to a backyard, he said.
Then there’s rental law, a
labyrinthine set of rules that
vary city by city and can be
very difficult to learn, espe­
cially for a young startup.
“The dos and don’ts of
managing tenants are going
to potentially cause the
homeowner some issues,”
Gladstone said. If the prop­
erty isn’t managed correctly,
the financial risk is to “the
consumer and the consum­
er’s unintentional violation
of a number of city laws.”
Two years ago, Tony
Chan started a similar busi­
ness, called ADU Builder
Inc. The company is in the
process of building its 10th
unit in the Palo Alto area.
Fewer than half are rentals
however, and Chan said
many of his customers don’t
need financing. As for the
complexities of rental law,
well, Chan had already been
in the rental business for 10
years before founding the
company.
For now, Rent the Back­
yard is focusing on areas in
and around San Jose, where
it has one big supporter in
Mayor Sam Liccardo. Ac­
cording to a recent Chron­
icle report by John King,
San Jose has been leading a
“backyard boomlet” ever
since California passed
legislation to make in­law
units easier to construct.

The last ride of San Francisco’s DeLorean hovercraft
Living the dream: One man’s creative
pursuit over a decade never quite
achieved liftoff. But it made time fly
By Gregory Thomas
The hovercraft wouldn’t start. The thrust engine at the rear
was struggling to idle, even after a few generous sprays of start­
er fluid, and Matt Riese was perplexed.
It was a warm September morning at
Pier 52, just across the street from the
shiny new Chase Center, bustling with
activity days before its grand opening.
Riese was readying his craft for a test of
the new thrust engine — the last ride on
the bay he planned to take before putting
the craft up for auction. Having spent
more than a decade laboring over it, he
was ready to let it go. He’d painted a red
“For Sale” sign on the rear fan duct.
A bevy of futuristic vehicles cruised
around us. Commuters on electric scoot­
ers and battery­powered bikes whirred
along Terry A Francois Boulevard, mil­
itary helicopters soared overhead and a
pair of kayakers paddled up in boats that
fold into the size of a knapsack. None of
them drew any onlookers.
But several passersby pulled their
cars over, parked their bikes or paused
their morning jogs for a look at Riese’s
creation: a DeLorean replica modeled
after Doc Brown’s unlikely time machine
from the “Back to the Future” films.
Everyone knows exactly where it comes
from and what it represents, and they’ll
cross the street for a closer look. The
flying DeLorean tickles something deep
in our pop culture­soaked imaginations.
“How fast does it go?” asked a man in
bluejeans, boots and a bright construc­
tion vest who’d beelined over.
“Eighty­eight miles per hour,” Riese
dryly joked, referencing the movies’
time­travel speed. He wore Marty
McFly’s hologram cap, a black water­
proof bib and a DeLorean Motor Compa­
ny medallion necklace.
“Not warp speed?”
The craft doesn’t actually fly. On good
days, it hovers 6 to 8 inches above land or
water and slides around on a cushion of
air pushed into an inflated vinyl skirt by
a lawnmower engine set in the DeLo­
rean’s hood. The 23­horsepower thrust
engine at the rear powers a large fan for
propulsion; a steering wheel in the cock­
pit is wired to three plastic rudders on
the rear fan. But it looks the part. “Liter­
ally, where you’re going you don’t need
roads!” quipped an onlooker holding a
Starbucks cup.
The craft makes for a great social
media highlight. But for Riese, a slight
35­year­old with dark eyes and dark hair
who grew up in Santa Rosa and de­
scribes himself as introverted, it’s a fu­
sion of his identity and ideals. The craft
is a source of personal confidence and
inspiration, a creative outlet and a teach­
ing mechanism for focus and patience. It
has afforded him entree with rock stars,
guest spots on cable television shows
and paid gigs at music festivals up and
down the West Coast.
Most recently, it caught the attention
of talk show host and car nut Jay Leno,
who featured Riese and his ride on the
CNBC series “Jay Leno’s Garage.” (The
episode aired Sept. 11.) It has also served
as an object for Riese to express his spiri­
tual connection to San Francisco’s DIY
culture.
“It’s been really cool to be in that scene
and feel like I’m contributing to make
San Francisco an interesting place,” he
says. “I want this kind of thing to be
happening — anywhere in the world,
really, but particularly here.”
Now, with the craft set to hit the auc­
tion block, Riese has to move on. But
first, back at Pier 52, he had to get the
N N
thrust engine to cooperate.
Running an impromptu diagnostic, he
examined each mechanism and point of
connection on the rear engine and talked
through the morning’s sequence of
events. He called his father, a former
auto mechanic in Santa Rosa. If Riese
couldn’t figure it out, he’d have to load
the rig back on his trailer and drive it
home, the morning wasted.
After a long half hour, Riese deduced
the problem: He’d forgotten to reconnect
the fuel line after filling the gas tank
earlier that morning. He hooked up the
fuel system and reached for the ignition
key in the dashboard.
“All right,” he warned, “it’s about to
get loud.”
***
The hovercraft is made from styro­
foam, wood and fiberglass, with alumi­
num enforcements. It has fake flying­
time­machine sideways­tires, a faux
DMC grill and other fanciful flourishes.
It’s not a true stainless steel DeLorean
frame but a “sculpture” that Riese hand­
carved to scale. More than the materials,
it’s the product of a rigorous, relentless
process of trial and error.
Riding in it is 80 percent exhilaration
— even at just 20 mph, the sensation is
that you’re blazing across the water —
and 20 percent apprehension. Without
brakes, every turn is a drift. A hard turn
at speed sends the craft into a 360­degree
spin. Rumbles from the thrust engine
would be deafening without ear muffs,
but they add to the thrill. As a passenger,
it’s hard not to smile: You’re driving in a
car on water.
The genesis came in 2007 when Riese
was working construction in San Mateo
County. “Building stuff all day and learn­
ing how to use tools gave me confidence
to try to build something of my own,” he
says. A hovercraft, he thought, would
make a killer practical­effect prop in a
surreal film he wanted to make, or it
could be the linchpin of a publicity stunt
for a friend’s band.
“The whole idea was to build this and
get the band famous by hovering on TV
at McCovey Cove during a Giants game,”
Riese says. (A lifelong fan, Riese points
out that his first name comes from Saint
Matthew, his middle name is Francis,
and his last name is German for “giant”:
“My name basically means San Francis­
co Giant.”)
After four months, he’d produced a
rough prototype. It hovered, but it
wouldn’t have survived a run on salt­
water. “That was the error part of the
trial and error,” Riese says. He budgeted
four more months to get it seaworthy.
“But instead it took four years.”
Riese is not a mechanic. He doesn’t
have an engineering degree. He studied
philosophy at UC Santa Cruz and pur­
sued a master’s degree in political sci­
ence at San Francisco State — working
on the craft in his Sunset District garage
— before punting on his thesis. He
thought he might want to work on a
political campaign or jump into acade­
mia. “But after studying it and getting
into being an artist, that kind of adver­
sarial nature of politics turned me off,”
Riese says. “I’d rather do something that
celebrates life, like this.”
To pay the bills, he has worked as a
crab fisherman, remodeled houses,
driven Ubers and cut his spending to the
bone. Between 2008 and 2012, he says, “I
was living as cheaply as possible and
putting everything into this. I’m famous
in my friends for having a water bottle
with rum in it that I take to bars so I don’t
have to pay for anything.”
Dealing with engine issues — that was
Riese’s 2012. The craft’s maiden voyage
came that summer in McCovey Cove,
leading up to the Giants’ World Series
run. At the top of the fourth inning
against Denver, the TV cameras zoomed

behind the wheel of a DeLorean coasting
on the bay just outside the ballpark.
“Yeah, I wanna get one of those,” Duane
Kuiper said on the broadcast. YouTube
clips of the cruise drew more than a
million views.
But just as Riese was primed for his
media moment, the hovercraft was ham­
strung by engine failure. A year later,
he’d buy brand­new engines, a move he
wished he’d made sooner. “If it had been
reliable from the beginning, I could have
moved into a career as an artist or doing

art­type projects,” Riese says. Instead,
when interest was at its peak, he was in
the garage trying to make it run.
The intervening years have been a mix
of highs and lows, media appearances,
trips to Home Depot and countless
hours in the workshop with a headlamp.
“There are times you hit him up for a
hike and it’s like, no, it’s a hovercraft
weekend for Matt,” says Annette Mulla­
ney, a close friend. He took it to the Sym­
biosis Gathering (“the most fun I’ve ever
had”) and to Burning Man, though he
didn’t drive it on the playa. “A car with­
out brakes in a crowd of people probably
isn’t a good idea,” Riese says. In artist
communities around California, Riese is
known simply as “hovercraft guy.”
Sometimes it would break down at the
worst moments, like when a TV shoot
was scheduled. “It’s hard when that
happens because I felt like it’s wrapped
up with my identity, and if it’s failing
then I’m failing,” Riese says.
“It’s a real roller coaster,” says Katrin
Welch, Riese’s girlfriend. The two start­
ed dating about a year ago, and the ho­
vercraft’s needs have been fully present.
Welch views the project as a reflection of
Riese’s character. “Honestly, the qual­
ities of commitment and patience and
willingness to work through difficult or
uncertain moments — when I was think­
ing about whether to date him or not, I
was like, those are the qualities of some­
one who can hang in a long­term rela­
tionship.”
***
By 2017, Riese had decided to sell it.
The cycle of fun had become a dizzying
whirlwind. People Riese didn’t know
would recount experiences he didn’t
remember.
“I’d had so many fun times that I
couldn’t keep track of them all,” Riese
says. “It wasn’t getting less fun, but I was
like, maybe I don’t need to do this forev­
er.”
A Bitcoin baron offered eight Bitcoins,
the equivalent of about $20,000. But
when it came time to approve the sale,
Riese broke down and pulled out. “I
started crying. I couldn’t let it go,” he
says. “I had this deep attachment to it
SFChronicle.com | Sunday, September 15, 2019 |
Paul Kuroda / Special to The Chronicle
that I didn’t even realize.”
Four months later, the cryptocurrency
skyrocketed in value, and those eight
Bitcoins would have been worth
$200,000. “That was probably the big­
gest mistake of my life,” Riese says.
Then again, Riese couldn’t have pre­
dicted that, two years later, Jay Leno
would come calling to feature the ho­
vercraft on his TV show, which reaches
millions of viewers. At one moment in
the episode, Leno howls with excitement
while Riese steers the craft through a
harbor in Long Beach. “I thought for
sure we’d sink like a stone when we got
out here,” Leno says. “But it’s pretty
amazing.”
Riese towed the craft down for the
Leno shoot, accompanied by his father
and Mullaney. The whole ride down
Interstate 5, other motorists honked,
waved and took pictures. “You’re mak­
ing people’s days,” Mullaney says. “It’s
like being a celebrity but without all the
downsides — like being a puppy. Every­
where you go with this thing, you’re
spreading joy and glitter.”
Hearing stories about the hovercraft,
L5
Paul Kuroda / Special to The Chronicle
it starts to sound like the kind of magic
trick we all wish we had in our back
pocket. It’s Riese’s perfect foil, an instant
bridge across the natural void that sep­
arates us from one another. And it’s
impossible not to look at. After all, if
you’re going to build a hovercraft, why
not do it with some style?
“Definitely one of the coolest things
about the hovercraft has been having the
confidence to talk to new people,” Riese
says. “If somebody is interesting and
creative and successful, I have this thing
that I can bring to the table that people
really want to talk about.”
***
Talking to Riese, a practicing Bud­
dhist, about his relationship with the
hovercraft reminded me of a line from
Robert Pirsig’s “Zen and the Art of Mo­
torcycle Maintenance”: “The real cycle
you’re working on is a cycle called your­
self.”
Having devoted a decade of his 20s
and 30s to the craft, it is as complete as
Riese is going to make it, and it’s time to
move on. He’s planning to auction it
online within a month. He’s hoping for
$50,000.
“I’m still in debt from building it, so
it’d be nice to recoup some of that,” he
says. “I’m about to turn 36 and haven’t
had a normal job or a career. Eventually
I’m going to have to do something about
that.”
He’s thinking of taking coding courses
and going into software engineering. But
he also has rough schematics on his hard
drive at home of a design for a flying
Batmobile (the 1989 Tim Burton model,
obviously).
Mullaney, Riese’s friend, is some­
where on the other side of the San Fran­
cisco seesaw. She just quit her job as a
software engineer to focus full time on a
burgeoning career in stand­up comedy.
She moved to San Francisco from the
Midwest a decade ago, and watching
Riese’s journey up close evokes her ro­
mantic impressions of the city.
“Knowing that there’s someone in San
Francisco making a DeLorean hover­
craft in his garage — that’s the San Fran­
cisco I wanted to move to,” Mullaney
says. “That’s powerful. That’s what cre­
ates the culture and lifeblood of a city
and makes it more than just a place to
live.”

COVER STORY

LIGHTHOUSE
KEEPERS’
HEAVY LOAD
Bed­and­breakfast: Being the sole hosts at
island inn is both joy and burden

By Sarah Feldberg

On an average Saturday morning, Tiffany Danse and

Tyler Waterson’s to­do list looks something like this: Brew
coffee. Bake fresh blueberry muffins. Cook and serve hot
breakfast for 10. Give historical tour and foghorn demon­
stration. Clean up breakfast dishes and kitchen. Reset din­
ing room. Clean the inn. Start prepping four­course dinner
for 10 more people. Run boat service to the mainland.
Make beds. Run boat service to the mainland again.

By that point, the sun is high and
the wind building. Seagulls hover,
sending occasional missiles of refuse
plummeting. Harbor seal pups bask
on nearby rocks like fat gray sausag­
es, and the water of San Pablo Bay
glistens a deep teal around East
Brother, a ¾­acre island 1,000 feet
from the coast of Richmond.
The view stretches past the Tin­
kertoy trussing of the Richmond
Bridge and the Bay Bridge behind it,
all the way to San Francisco’s clut­
tered skyline in the distance. But
Danse and Waterson are too busy to
admire it.
It’s noon, and they still have about
10 hours of work to go.
On May 1, Danse, 34, and Wa­
terson, 33, took over as the new inn­
keepers of the East Brother Light
Station Bed & Breakfast, “a one­of­a­
kind Bay Area getaway” in an 1873
Victorian lighthouse on a speck of an
island in San Pablo Bay. In moving to
East Brother, the couple have joined
a lineage of resident lightkeepers and
innkeepers that stretches back nearly
150 years. They’ve also entered the
ranks of a decidedly contemporary
demographic: recipients of the viral
job.
* **
In January, news broke about an
unusual job opening in the Bay Area.
Perks included free housing, access
to an island and almost complete
autonomy. Challenges included run­
ning a historic “dinner, bed and
breakfast” as the sole employees.
“Dream job? Get paid $130,000 to
live on this island in the middle of
the bay,” one headline read.
“For some reason it just went vi­
ral,” says Tom Butt, mayor of Rich­
mond and president of East Brother
Light Station Inc., the nonprofit that
manages the inn.
The story got picked up by Travel
+ Leisure, Thrillist and Lonely Plan­
et. Eventually international media
started covering it as well.
“It went nuts worldwide. It was on
TV all over the world. People were
calling me from Bulgaria, Russia,
China,” Butt says.
Thousands of inquiries and appli­
cations poured in. Some innkeeper
hopefuls included sweet personal
touches like photos or recipes, but
most lacked one crucial qualification:
a valid U.S. Coast Guard license
needed to captain the Lucretia E., the
small boat that ferries guests to and
from the island.
Still, the media attention netted a
massive uptick in serious candidates.
The last time the inn needed new
keepers about two and a half years
ago, Butt says they had seven qual­
ified applicants. This time there were
60.
Among them were Danse and
Waterson.
The couple had been living on
Waterson’s 32­foot sailboat in Napa,
Danse doing short­term contracts as
an occupational therapist, Waterson
working as a freelance boat captain.
He had the requisite Coast Guard
license; she had hospitality experi­
ence. The last time the job opened
up, they missed the application win­
dow. This time, they jumped.
“It was everything we were look­
ing for,” says Danse. They envisioned
it as a break from the grind of the
medical industry and freelance gigs,
a position near the city but isolated
from it, a chance to work together
and live in a place rooted deep in
local history. Maybe even an oppor­
tunity to save some money and pay
down student loans.
When Butt called to offer the cou­
ple the “dream job,” they were in the
car. “We were whooping and hol­
lering,” Waterson remembers.
They wrapped up other work and
spent a couple weeks shadowing the
outgoing innkeepers, Che Rodgers
and Jillian Meeker. Then on May 1,
the inn was theirs.
Sitting outside the lighthouse on a
sunny July morning, just two­and­a­

mitment, the pair smile at the memo­
ry of that victorious moment. It feels scene an odd, vintage suburbia vibe. John O. Stenmark raised four kids,

Open year­round from Thursday
to Sunday with day visits available
on summer Saturdays, the inn works
as a revenue share between the inn­
keepers and the nonprofit that leases
the property from the Coast Guard.
The organization takes a portion of
the income for maintenance and
capital improvements. The rest goes
to the innkeepers for guest food and
wine, basic supplies and laundry
service. Whatever’s left over is the
innkeepers’ pay.
“It’s like running a business,”
Waterson says. “If you have a bad
month, there’s no guaranteed salary.”
Last year saw record visitation,

and this year is already on pace to
easily surpass it. June was a record
month. Then so was July. At full
capacity, the bed and breakfast can
accommodate 40 guests each week.
But it’s not for everyone. There’s
no wi­fi or TV, and guests still reach
the inn by boat, though now it’s a
five­minute trip from the Point San
Pablo Harbor instead of a 2­mile row
from San Quentin. They climb a
metal ladder from the boat to the
elevated dock (minimal luggage rec­
ommended), are encouraged to forgo
showers (the island’s pipes are fed by
collected rainwater) and sleep in the
former keepers’ quarters, decorated
with mismatched antiques and a
robust collection of lighthouse art.
A photo in the upstairs parlor
from Stenmark’s tenure depicts a
crowd of partygoers spilling out from
the main house’s porches and balco­
nies in the year 1900. The women
wear high white collars and long
skirts; the men wear swooping mus­
taches and dark jackets. No one is
smiling, but someone has a banjo.
“I have a feeling that in the ’20s
they were probably making gin in
the bathtub here,” Danse laughs.
Included in the room rate, which
runs $345 to $425, are the boat trans­
fers, Champagne and hors d’oeuvres

historical tour and demonstration of
the 1934 diesel foghorn — three pow­
erful blasts that sound like giant,
bassy farts.
Danse and Waterson provide all of
it. “We are the reception desk. We
run the gift shop. We make the
beds,” Danse says. “We cook the
meals. Tyler is your captain and local
history guide.”
They knew the deal when they
applied for the job, but that doesn’t
change the 6 a.m. baking sessions,
the 10 p.m. dishes, the endless sea­
gull poop or the occasional evening
when a communal meal needs to
satisfy the dietary requirements of
vegan, gluten free and lactose intoler­
ant guests.
Waterson estimates they’re work­
ing 80­90 hours a week, a schedule
softened by encouraging words from
appreciative visitors, the view over
the water from this strange, special
island and the rare quiet day when
they can pull out their lawn chairs
and spend a few minutes alone tak­
ing it all in.
“It so becomes your world,” says
former innkeeper Jillian Meeker,
“which is lovely, but also difficult.”
***
A few months into the job, Danse
and Waterson have hit their stride.
L7
They’ve got crowd­pleasing recipes
like maple­balsamic pork and the
week’s menu mapped out well in
advance. They’ve learned to make ice
creams, sorbets and stocks on their
so­called off days, when they only
end up working an 8­hour shift in­
stead of the 16 or so when guests are
around. They’ve gotten into the habit
of cleaning during dinner so they
don’t have to wash dishes until mid­
night, and they set the table for
breakfast the night before so there’s
one less thing to do before everyone
wakes up.
They’ve made connections to local
suppliers like Paso Robles’ Field
Recordings winery and Richmond’s
Catahoula Coffee, which makes a
Foghorn Blend on sale in the gift
shop. They’ve turned chores into
entertainment, like “no­nonsense
bed­making,” which involves both of
them and plenty of nonsense.
They’ve gotten to know the local
wildlife — the baby sparrows living
in a planter, the harbor porpoises
that sometimes swim by — and the
history, how Stenmark rowed across
the bay to retrieve a doctor for his
wife’s deliveries, and how Richmond
resident Walter Fanning helped save
East Brother a half­century after his
grandfather tended the light.
“Technically, we made more mon­
ey doing what we did before, but to
have this experience, I couldn’t imag­
ine not taking this job,” Danse says.
On clear nights, when the kitchen
is clean and the guests have gone to
bed, sometimes she and Waterson
spend a few minutes staring out at
the San Francisco skyline. “The out­
line, twinkle lights and then you
catch a shooting star,” she says. “You
can feel the space more out here.
When you’re in the middle of the city,
everything feels a bit tighter and
more constricted, but out here it feels
more spacious, which is ironic be­
cause you’re on a three­quarter acre
rock.”
In those moments, in the tiny
cracks in a harried schedule, they
take a deep breath and remember
how lucky they are to be here. And
the dream job does, for a second, feel
like a dream.

OUR SF
Bernal Heights
Park, with its
stunning views
and rope swing,
deserves a spot
on a new 49
mile route.
A 49 MILE MANIFESTO
#49MileMakeover: S.F. has changed since 1938. Let’s ditch the car and build a better route
By Peter Hartlaub
When the first 49 Mile Scenic Drive
was conceived, spending an entire
day driving through San Francisco
was a fun thing to do, not every resi­
dent’s worst anxiety dream.
It was a different city then, still two
decades before the Giants arrived,
and four years before Jerry Garcia
was born. The mayor’s priority was to
beg people to come to San Francisco,
not find a magic trick to somehow
keep the middle­class residents that
we already have.
But 80­plus years later, despite a
couple of updates, the Scenic Drive
still has that outdated 1938 vibe.
There are segments of the route that
you can’t legally bike or walk. Other
parts seem to have been designed by
smash­and­grab robbers, sending
motorists from one crowded land­
mark to another like prey.
Well, let’s not do any of that for a
second longer than we have to.
With our #49MileMakeover project
(which included traveling the current
route without a car last week), Heath­
er Knight and I are taking the route
back for the people. After gathering
input from readers, we’ll craft a new
route that focuses on walkability,
bikeability and a fun sense of dis­
covery for San Franciscans old and
new.
This is my 49 Mile manifesto: a list
of 15 things I want to see on the new
route.
Beep’s Burgers
Let’s start with something very
specific: a beloved burger joint in the
Ingleside district.
Beep’s is affordable, delicious and
has an A+ neon sign with a satellite
on it. We want it on our 49­mile route,
and maybe also as a tattoo.
Beep’s and Ingleside represent two
very important tenets in the new
route: lesser­traveled neighborhoods
and independent San Francisco busi­
nesses. Both should be on the new
route in large numbers.
In a city with a thriving literary
history, there’s only one independent
bookstore on the 49 Mile Scenic Drive
(City Lights) and no comic book
shops. (My nominees are Isotope
Comics in Hayes Valley and Comix
Experience on Divisadero.) The Sun­
set District’s 3 Fish Studios, which
sells 49 Mile Scenic Drive­theme art,
is currently a few blocks off the route.
The route should be filled with
discoveries, not just a Point A­to­
Point B­to­Point C journey between
landmarks.
Bernal Heights Park
The worst part about the current
route’s 2­mile slog down Cesar Cha­
vez Street is all the incredible neigh­
borhoods you just miss visiting: the
Mission District’s tongue­shaped
offshoot La Lengua, Portola and espe­
cially Bernal Heights.
Bernal Heights Park has some of
the city’s most stunning views, it’s

Norton for a selfie at Fisherman’s Wharf, part of the current route. Above: Beep’s

bike friendly and has a rope swing. If
we made a 3 Mile Scenic Drive
through San Francisco, this location
would be on it. It’s negligence that it’s
not included on the current 49­mile
version.
Yoda statue at Lucasfilm
With apologies to the Golden Gate
Bridge, Ferry Building and Oracle
Park, the most Instagram­able loca­
tion in San Francisco is the Yoda
fountain and statue. It’s accessible
outside Lucasfilm near the Letterman
Drive entrance to the Presidio, where
the fog rolls in like the Dagobah Sys­
tem.
This landmark is already pretty
close to the current 49 Mile Scenic
Drive. But Yoda isn’t about trying.
He’s 100 percent about doing, and so
are we. Yoda’s going on the map.
Fisherman’s Wharf
I’ve come full circle on Fisherman’s
Wharf since Knight and I established
Jessica Christian / The Chronicle
Lea Suzuki / The Chronicle
Tourist Trap Day, celebrating the
tourism destinations San Francis­
cans like.
The current route covers a 5­
block stretch, including Emperor
Norton at a tourist bus stop, the
San Francisco Dungeon and the
charming Buena Vista with its
signature Irish coffee. That seems
like a perfect amount. From some­
one who knows: When you’re
walking or biking for 49 miles, a
few hundred yards of forced and
overpriced whimsy is a welcome
change.
Riptide Bar
Because we need more cash­only
businesses on the 49 Mile Scenic
Drive.
We’d like to include as many
bars as possible from Esther Mo­
bley’s Ultimate Guide to Classic
S.F. Bars. The Riptide, established
in 1941 on Taraval Street two blocks
from Ocean Beach, is our first
choice. We’ll be consulting The
Charles Cadiz
Chronicle’s Food section for the best
bar and restaurant pairings on the
new route.
Golden Gate Overlook
The most stunningly underrated
view in San Francisco may be the
Golden Gate Overlook, a short detour
from the current 49 Mile Scenic Drive
route through the Presidio.
It’s the perfect blend of epic engi­
neering and nature, with the bridge
spans lining up nearly perfectly front
to back when viewed through two
cypress trees. There’s a chance we
might remove current Scenic Drive
centerpiece Twin Peaks from the
route. If that happens, we’ll need
memorable photo opportunities like
this to make up for it.
Castro Theater and Harvey
Milk’s camera shop
The two most stunning omissions
on the current route are the heart of
the Mission District (the 49 Mile Sce­
nic Drive only includes Dolores
Street) and Castro Street.
The historic Castro Theatre, de­
signed by Timothy L. Pflueger for its
1922 debut, is an artistic and architec­
tural titan, and the most beautiful
surviving movie theater in the city.
We’d also like to send travelers past
the former Castro Camera, at 575
Castro St., pioneering Supervisor
Harvey Milk’s business, campaign
headquarters and home before he
was killed in 1978.
Minnesota Street Project
Since the route will become more
pedestrian­ and bike­friendly, we’d
like to open it up to discovering San
Francisco’s art scene, with the
sprawling Minnesota Street Project in
the Dogpatch district nominated for
inclusion. The Bayview Opera House,
built in 1888 and the oldest theater in
the city, is a few blocks away and
worth a detour.
We’ll also be thinking about public
art and architecture. Chronicle art
critic Charles Desmarais and urban
design critic John King will be ap­
proached as consultants.
Clarion Alley
A route that passes through the
block­long mural displays on Clarion
Alley, near 17th Street, and Balmy
Alley, off 24th Street, would right a lot
of longstanding 49 Mile Scenic Drive
wrongs — including the Mission
District and highlighting public art.
In between the two alleys are about
half of the great taquerias in San
Francisco.
Lyon Street Steps
Once we ditch our cars on this
route, we can start exploring the
bounty of stairways of San Francisco.
The Lyon Street Steps on the edge
of the Presidio are lovely and offer a
stunning and unique view of the bay.
The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps in the

Top: Golden Gate Overlook in the Presidio is a stunning view that should be part of a new route.
Above: Reporter Peter Hartlaub photographs a 49 Mile Scenic Drive marker along the Embarcadero.
Inner Sunset, covered with mosaic artwork,
are another possible detour.
Salesforce Park
Politically, the Transbay transit center is a
disaster, with room for high­speed rail that
may never happen and a failure of execution
that forced closure for the majority of its life
span so far. But don’t take all that out on
Salesforce Park, part of the Mount Rushmore
of San Francisco picnic spots along with
Alamo Square, Stow Lake and the Presidio.
Chase Center
In a city where anything is hard to build —
much less a professional sports stadium —
Oracle Park and Chase Center are the twin
miracles. A stop at the new home of the Gold­
en State Warriors also affords an introduc­
tion to Mission Bay, the latest and last new
neighborhood in San Francisco.
Put the new 49 Mile Scenic Route sign
right between the statues for Franklin Mieuli
and Andre Iguodala.
Not a single golf course
In her latest column about the 49 Mile
Scenic Drive, Heather Knight writes, “Why
the city sets aside so much of its land for
golfing while our teachers, nurses and fire­
fighters can’t afford to live here is confound­
ing.”
It’s a thought that can’t help surface when
you pass a dozen tent cities in a single day,
then walk past seemingly endless Harding
Park. With a middle class in exodus and a
homelessness crisis in San Francisco, can the
city afford the luxury of a 163­acre golf
course?
There are currently two golf courses on the

things that we don’t want to go away.
It seems like another beloved San Francis­
co culinary or cultural institution closes
every week. Let’s include as many of those as
we can in the new 49 Mile Scenic Route. If
that means missing a shopping trip to Union
Square or another trip down Lombard Street,
it’s more than worth the sacrifice.
San Francisco is more than the contents of
a snow globe. It’s a collection of people and
places and ideas. The new route should re­
mind everyone who lives here why S.F. is
worth the effort, and help newcomers fall in
love with the city.
Let’s build a better 49 Mile Scenic Route.

The film features Fred Mac­

Stanwyck is at her coldheart­

COVER STORY

Comics drawn to social unrest

Medium has added
a visual punch to
activism since 1800s
By Grace Li

In the early January morning of

the first international Women’s
March in 2017, Nadja Spiegelman and
Françoise Mouly loaded up a van
with comics and drove into Washing­
ton, D.C.
They were transporting thousands
of copies of the very first issue of
Resist!, a publication filled with il­
lustrations created in reaction to the
2016 presidential election, when Don­
ald Trump won, despite being ac­
cused of racist tactics and the revela­
tion of tapes of the candidate making
lewd remarks about women.
Trump’s victory sent Mouly into
“despair and paralysis.”
The logical process for Mouly, the
New Yorker’s longtime art editor and
author, wasn’t to mull in a state of
shock. The logical process for Mouly
was to resist. So, in the month fol­
lowing the November election, Mouly
and her daughter, Spiegelman,
teamed up with New York comics
shop Desert Island to create Resist!,
a newsprint comics magazine that
resists “the normalization of fascism.”
“It was a way of manifesting the
solidarity that came from feeling
submerged,” Mouly says.
On Thanksgiving night of that
year, Spiegelman sent out an open
call for submissions on the Internet
expecting no one to respond. She

Rodolphe Töpffer, an artist who drew

Since then, comics have been
evolving with the changing times,
adopting new materials — digital and
paper — and reflecting the social
unrest of their eras, from the un­
settling aspects of World War II
(“The Invaders”) to the nuclear threat
of the Cold War (Alan Moore’s “The
Watchmen”). Naturally, it’s also had a

complicated history. Nast, for in­
stance, supported indigenous and
Chinese American communities in
his work, but he also drew racist
anti­black and anti­Irish cartoons.
And the superhero pages were often
accused of being too white in times
of rising diversity.
Even within San Francisco’s own
underground comics scene — where
Chute says “within the ’60s and ’70s,

types used for punch lines. One of
the most iconic comic artists from
that movement, R. Crumb, created a
comic book character named Angel­
food McSpade, who embodies racist
and sexist stereotypes against black
women.
But, like many forms of art, the
medium has been reclaimed by the
marginalized communities it has ig­
nored or hurt. “Martin Luther King
Jr. and the Montgomery Story” was a
10­cent comic book in 1957 about
King’s boycotts that, according to

In 1973 “Abortion Eve,” a feminist

women’s reproductive rights, was
released. Seven years later, in 1980,
the first chapter of “Maus” was writ­
ten and drawn by the legendary Art
Spiegelman — Mouly’s husband and
Nadja Speigelman’s father. “Maus”
was an anthropomorphized tale about
his father’s experiences surviving the

cats as the Nazis, and became the

first graphic narrative, or comic book,
to win a Pulitzer.
Since then, more and more graphic
narratives of resistance have become
popular, including 2000s books like
Marjane Satrapi’s “Persepolis,” Phoe­
be Gloeckner’s “The Diary of a Teen­
age Girl” and Alison Bechdel’s “Fun
Home,” which became a Broadway
production.
Those decades of protest comics
have built the foundation for Resist!,
and for what we have in 2019: collec­
tives of comic artists taking up the
pen to fight for causes they believe
in. Including some cultural icons.
“This summer is my summer of
internment again,” says George Takei.
The former “Star Trek” actor lived in
a Japanese American internment
camp as a child. His graphic memoir,
“They Called Us Enemy,” co­written
with Justin Eisinger and Steven Scott
and illustrated by Harmony Becker,
recounts his experiences being in­
terned.
The graphic memoir, which came
out on July 19, is Takei’s “expression
of hope for the future. A hope for a

better America.”
It’s also Takei’s comic book call for
resistance. “With this knowledge,
things that are happening at the
Southern border or the Muslim travel caricatures, imbue illustrations with
ban — another outrageous sweeping
generalization of Muslims as all po­
tential terrorists — all that will not
happen again, and America will be a
better, truer democracy.”
“They Called Us Enemy” comes
just after the Stanford Graphic Novel
Project, a yearlong class at Stanford
University that brings together stu­
dent artists to publish a graphic nar­
rative, finished “Flying Kites,” which
recounts the 2013 California prison
hunger strike in illustrated panels.
It’s a resistance story in every aspect,
following the effects of indefinite
solitary confinement from the per­
spectives of those incarcerated and
those outside of the bars, and the
organizing that they did
in protest of inhumane
practices. “This summer is
So, why comics?
What is it about the my summer of

tance stories? again.”
Andy Warner, a George Takei, actor, former
South Berkeley comics internment camp resident and
artist who was the art author of a graphic memoir
instructor for the Stan­ that came out July 19
ford Graphic Novel
Project, believes it’s
about the “aesthetically
immersive” experiences of seeing
pictures on the page.
“Comics really offer a powerful
way to tell history in general, espe­
cially personal history, because of the
visual element to them,” Warner says. and artistic histories are intrinsically
“They can be really immersive. They
really sort of grab the reader and
draw them in from the moment you
see a page.”
Another reason might be the il­
lustrative quality of comics, Chute
says.
“There’s something about the pri­
macy of putting pen to paper that
has made it a form that feels really
immediate, and feels really urgent,”
Chute says. “And I think that’s a
13
huge part of why somebody might
consider doing comics themselves
that are about resistance.”
The hand­drawn line carries power
— in its availability (one of the first
tools of expression children are
taught is drawing with a pack of
crayons), in its intimacy and in its
ability to warp reality. Drawings can
readily distort shapes and faces in
individual styles for autobiographical
tales, and harness color and time.
Combined with their counterculture
history, comics can become a ready
medium for visual protest, something
that can bring people together with
the printed paper. For instance, as
Nadja Spiegelman and Mouly were
passing out issues of Resist! in Wash­
ington, D.C., so were volunteers
across the country.
“We really wanted them to be free
and printed on this thing that could
be handed off from hand to hand to
encourage this in­person interaction,”
Spiegelman says.
Their original aim was to print
some 10,000 copies, which grew to
65,000 thanks to an
outburst of Internet
support.
“We put pallets of
5,000 copies onto trucks
that went to Texas, and
to L.A., and to Port­
land,” Speigelman said.
“And people put them
on the back of their
cars and drove them to
small towns in their
area. We got these cop­
ies all across the coun­
try, or as far as we
could, using a grassroots network.”
While not all comics are about
protest, the very act of expression
amid oppression can be a form of
resistance, so much so that activist
and forever linked. After the success
of its first issue, Resist! published a
second 96­page edition and has dis­
tributed copies to more than 170
stores in 40 states.
“It’s an antidote to depression,”
Mouly says. “It’s an affirmation. It’s
something positive that we can do.”

THEATER

Showtime at the Presidio, courtesy of Levi’s heir

By Sam Whiting

Peggy Haas came to the

Presidio Theatre just once,
brought there by her father to
see Hal Holbrook do “Mark
Twain Tonight” in 1972. It was
father­daughter night at Kath­
erine Delmar Burke School, an
all­girls school also known as
Miss Burke’s, and the two
were in the fourth row, stage
left. Her strongest memory of
that event is that the Army­
issue seats were too narrow,
even for her high school
frame.
So when Haas re­entered
the long­dormant theater five
years ago, she took the mea­
sure of that seat — 18 inches
across — and she ordered that
6 inches be added to its width
along with the other 599 chairs
of the theater.
But she didn’t stop there.
Haas, daughter of Levi
Strauss & Co. executive Peter
Haas, decided it was time to
renovate and upgrade the
historic venue on the Main
Post next to the bowling alley.
That job, made possible by the
Margaret E. Haas Fund her
father left for her when he Gabrielle Lurie / The Chronicle

died 14 years ago, is costing
Haas $30 million.
“Isn’t it pretty?” says Haas,
looking luxuriant in one of her
roomy new seats, fourth row,
stage left, during a recent
hard­hat tour. “It feels like the
theater is hugging you with its
curves.”
Attendees can get a feel for
it themselves starting with a
gala Saturday, Sept. 21, and a
public open house on Sunday,
Sept. 22, that introduces the
Presidio Theatre Pop­Up Or­
chestra. The following week­
end, Sept. 28­29, features En­
sambles Ballet Folklorico de
San Francisco in association
with the Ethnic Folk Festival.
The theater is now a non­
profit with a 60­year lease, and
Peggy Haas paid for the renovation of San Francisco’s historic Presidio Theatre, which reopens to the public this month.
Haas promises it will be af­
fordable to other nonprofits.
“We need a community
theater in this city. We don’t
have one,” she says. “That’s
what I thought was so amaz­
ingly crazy.”
The theater opened on the
Main Post in 1939, to bring
USO shows by the likes of Jack
Benny and Bob Hope to sol­
diers and their families. It
served mostly as a military
base movie theater until the
Army pulled out in 1994. Not
much could be done with the
place because the military
stripped out the light fixtures,
the carpets and just about
everything else they could
carry — except those narrow
chairs. The theater was moth­
balled and has mostly sat
there locked.
It would be locked and lone­
ly still but for the determina­
tion of Haas, who never actu­
ally set out to rescue the ven­
ue. Her intent was to rescue
Children’s Theater Association
of San Francisco, a women’s
organization that puts on pro­
ductions for school groups.
Five years ago, Children’s The­
ater lost its stage at the Legion
of Honor after 37 years and as
Haas went looking for a new
one, her odyssey brought her
to the Presidio Theatre.
“I came walking up the
street and saw this theater and
I had a vision. I saw it alive,”
she says. “I couldn’t believe it
had been abandoned for 24
years.”
When she first walked in,
the stage was still set for “The
Big Broadcast,” a short­lived
1940s radio­style nostalgia
song and dance revue that
attempted to resuscitate the
Presidio Theatre. Produced by
Michael Hamilton and direct­
ed by Joseph Lillis, with a
local cast, “The Big Broadcast”
opened in April 1995 and fold­
ed two months later.
Haas never saw “The Big

The Presidio Theatre is
what she describes as “doubly
historic” — a historic building
within the Main Post, a histor­
ic district. Every step of the
renovation had to pass by both
the Presidio Trust and the
State Historic Preservation
Office in Sacramento. To qual­
ify for tax credits, it had to
also meet the narrow stan­
dards of the National Park
Service in Washington, D.C.;
the Presidio is under its juris­
diction.

The Presidio Theatre, above,
is reopening with events that
include a performance by
Ensambles Ballet Folklorico
de San Francisco, right.
The regulations meant that
the now­obsolete film safe had
to be left in place and the
glass­and­wood ticket booth
had to be returned to its spot
in front of the building,
though ticketing will be done
in the lobby once the re­
vamped Presidio Theatre
opens later this month.
The original theater foot­
print could not be expanded
and nothing could be re­
moved, not even concrete,
without permission from the
Presidio Trust. To bolster the
foundation, the crew had to
dig beneath the existing foun­
dation.
The project adds a court­
yard, a green room and ad­
Marcie Gonzalez ministrative office, but those

are off to the side and can be
easily deconstructed.
When the roof tiles were
removed to do structural
work, those same tiles had to
be returned as they were.
Haas was allowed to take out
the 800 chairs only because
they were undersized and, she
reckons, not even original. But
Haas tracked down the manu­
facturer and had new seats
built in the exact same style,
though wider. She was al­
lowed to remove 200 seats to
move the stage front 16 feet
forward. This included mov­
ing the proscenium arch of
thick plaster weighing tons.
Not being allowed to move
that proscenium would have
been “a deal breaker,” she
said, adding, “A viable stage
needs to be at least 28 feet
deep.”
Luckily the place was built
with wide aisles and good
sight lines in both the orches­
tra and balcony seating. The
rake of the seats was already
perfect. That was one battle
Haas did not have to fight.
“You can sit behind a tall
person when you are a short
person like myself,” she says.
“Every seat is good.”
Lastly, Haas arranged re­
moval of hundreds of truck­
loads of dirt to carve out
space for costume and set
storage, along with dressing
rooms. All that dirt was clean
of toxins and has been stored
for recycling. Haas says it will
be trucked back in to cover
the Tunnel Top, which is
expected to run over the Pre­
sidio Parkway to connect the
Main Post to Crissy Field in a
grassy promenade.
She is looking forward to
commuting under it to her
home in Ross.
“When I drive through that
tunnel, I can look up and say,
‘I’ve got the dirt on every­
one,’ ” she says.

CALIFORNIA STREAMIN’
Entertaining ‘schlock­buster’ gives Cage a platform
By Carlos Valladares
“I’m gonna steal the
Declaration of Indepen­
dence.”
And our hearts along
the way.
So says Nicolas Cage in
“National Treasure,” one
of the more entertaining
“schlock” blockbusters of
the past two decades.
The 2004 film is stream­
ing on Netflix, at least
until Disney debuts its
streaming service in
November and moves its
roster of films onto that
service.
“National Treasure” is
a treasure for several
reasons, including that
it’s a lean, smart block­
buster like the kind you
thought Hollywood had
given up making. But
most of the appeal has to
do with the brilliant
decision to cast the wild,
moody, unpredictable
Nicolas Cage in the lead
role of Benjamin Frank­
lin Gates, a treasure
hunter who — in order to
restore the honor of his
family’s mocked, be­
smirched name, and to
restore a love of history
in the world — seeks the
fortune left behind by the
Founding Fathers, the
Knights Templar and
Benjamin Franklin.
Cage is the entire rea­
son “National Treasure”
works so well. He’s com­
mitted to the role of the
treasure hunter to a bi­
zarre, almost unhealthy
degree. And he convinces
us with a toolbox of line
readings and eye pops
that have become the
stuff of memes. The
peak: When Cage is try­
ing to compute at what
hour the Independence
Hall clock will strike an
bridge that leads to cer­
tain death.
As much as the new
Tarantino movie claims
it’s a love letter to Holly­
wood — and especially to
stunt doubles — it’s clear
that “National Treasure”
is the bigger winner in
this camp. The Cage­
Bartha­Kruger doubles
make no bones about the
casually stunning stunts
they’re asked to do. The
doubles contribute to
Disney’s illusion of cohe­
sion (which has never
been more convincing):

ENTERTAINMENT
Giving voice to the ‘Queen of Mean’
By Andrew Gilbert
Leona Helmsley hasn’t land­
ed on Broadway yet, but she’s
attained a more rarefied hon­
or. The disgraced Manhattan
real estate mogul is the latest
headline­grabbing figure to
join theater icon Tovah Feld­
shuh’s one­woman menagerie
as the subject of “Tovah Is
Leona!”
Feldshuh is scheduled to
present the show’s Bay Area
premiere Friday and Saturday,
Sept. 20­21, at Feinstein’s at
the Nikko in San Francisco. A
cabaret act gleaned from the
musical “The Queen of Mean”
by composer Ron Passaro and
lyricists David Lee and Alex
Lippard, “Tovah Is Leona!” is
part of Feldshuh’s ongoing
campaign to drum up funding
for a full Broadway produc­
tion.
She’s been involved with
“Queen of Mean,” which is
based on true events, almost
from its conception. After
several well­received readings
failed to attract the requisite
underwriting to bring the
musical to the Great White
Way, “I said ‘Let me take your
score and put it in a nightclub
act.’ Her character was very
interesting, and the part was
so complex and irresistible,”
Feldshuh said.
“Many of the songs are
terrific. But the cabaret show
is a separate entity, a different
conceit. I use their music and
buffer it with well­known
standards.”
Already a highly successful
real estate broker when she
met rising real estate entrepre­
neur Harry Helmsley in 1968,
Leona Helmsley became the
face of the hotel empire they
built together, reveling in her
image as the hostess queen of
Manhattan. But when contrac­
tors the Helmsleys stiffed on

tabloids, the resulting tax

evasion trial in 1989 cemented
her reputation as a tyrannical
boss with no regard for legal
niceties. She ended up serving
a 19­month sentence, and
though Leona Helmsley spent
her final decades in seclusion,
she made headlines again after
her death in 2007 by leaving
$12 million to her Maltese.
“My job is not to judge,”
Feldshuh said about this all
too juicy role. “My job is to
find a way in from her point
of view. She was the highest­
selling female real estate agent
in the city. Trump was a pish­
er, a pale reflection of Harry
Helmsley, whose word was
gold. ... But Leona took him
down, and everything was a
Feinstein’s at the Nikko
mess at the end of his life.”
With four Drama Desk
Awards, six Emmy and Tony
Award nominations and doz­
ens of other honors for her
acting work on stage and
screen, Feldshuh is more than
Broadway royalty. She co­
wrote and starred in the one­
woman play about actress
Tallulah Bankhead, “Tallulah
Hallelujah!” and holds the
record for the longest­running
one­woman Broadway show,
“Golda’s Balcony,” about Israe­
li Prime Minister Golda Meir.

POP QUIZ Aidin Vaziri
Avril Lavigne on growing up,
baring it all and coming back
Avril Lavigne disap­
peared for a while before
making her return this
year with her sixth studio
album, “Head Above Wa­
ter.”
Sidelined by Lyme dis­
ease, the third­best­selling
Canadian female artist of
all time took a break after a
self­titled set that came out
in 2013 to tend to her health
and personal life (she was
married to Nickelback
singer Chad Kroeger from
2013 to 2015, and to Sum 41
lead vocalist/rhythm gui­
tarist Deryck Whibley
from 2006 to 2009).
Lavigne’s new material is
a far cry from her early
punk­pop hits like “Sk8er
Boi” and “Girlfriend,” fo­
cusing instead on the tur­
moil the now 34­year­old
singer has experienced
over the past few years.
The Chronicle spoke to
her during tour rehearsals
at her home in Ontario.
Q: It’s been a while since you
played live. How are you
feeling about going back on
tour?
A: Really excited. It’s been
really inspiring learning all the
new songs and bringing them
to life, and relearning the old
ones.
It’s like, “Oh, wait, how does
this song go again?” And then I
grab the guitar and it takes me a
second, but I’m remembering
everything. It’s just bringing
back all these really fun memo­
ries.
Q: You were only 17 when
“Let Go” came out in 2002.
Do those songs still feel rele­
vant to you and your work
now?
A: I think it works because that
is a side of me. The concert is
like a journey. I have this sec­
tion that’s really fun where we
have “Girlfriend” and “Sk8r
Boi” and we go high energy, and
then we come down.
The first album has this big
power ballad, “I’m With You,”
that fits in with “I Fell in Love
With the Devil” and “Head
Above Water.” The songs all
mark a period of time for me.
Q: Was it a challenge to get
people to take you seriously
with this album?
A: Easing back into working
again, everyone was really
supportive and really respectful
with my musical choices.
I had to grow as an artist. I
can’t do the same thing over and
over and over. It’s my sixth
album, and this is my time to
just dig deep. I didn’t hold back.
I put myself out there.
Q: I’m curious what kind of
mood you were in the day
you wrote “I Fell in Love
With the Devil.”
A: I was like, “Can I say this?”
But honestly, I was going
through something really crazy
and I sat down and started
writing that.
That phrase kept going
through my head and I sat
down at the piano and sang, “I
fell in love with the devil/ Now

Avril Lavigne was a superstar
by the time she was 20.
I’m in trouble!” I was thinking
to myself, “Everyone can relate
to this.” I thought, “I’m going to
go dark and morbid and not
hold back and say these
things.” It’s an empowering
song.
Q: There are some other
songs on the album where
you assert yourself in a simi­
lar way, like “Goddess” and
“Dumb Blonde.”
A: The album hits on different
subjects. On “Warrior” and
“Head Above Water,” I’m fight­
ing for my life.
“Dumb Blonde” is taking a
stand, having been spoken
down to by somebody who was
a misogynist and called me a
dumb blonde. It’s saying that
it’s OK to be a strong, indepen­
dent woman; you don’t have to
feel bad for that. Whether
you’re male or female, no one
should ever put you down or
make you feel little for being
who you are.
Songs like “Devil” are about
being in a toxic relationship.
With “Head Above Water,” I
was like, “I hope this can in­

spire, bring hope, encourage
and lift up anyone who’s going
through something hard in
their life.”
Q: You posed naked with a
guitar on the album cover.
Was that your idea?
A: It’s funny because we were
shooting photos and I was
changing and then I was like,
“Wait. Someone bring me a
guitar!” Then I sat there and
took the photo. I haven’t done
anything like that before. I
thought it’s cool because I’m
baring it all. I’m raw and ex­
posed, which represented this
album.
Q: You didn’t take the last
few years off by choice. Did
anything good come out of
having to take a break?
A: Funny enough, having the
break made me realize how
much I need music in my life. I
was quiet at home and there
was nothing going on. I would
constantly have these little
poems and ideas and songs
coming to me. It showed me
how much being creative is
something that I need.
Also, you really learn that the
little simple things in life matter
the most, like you see on those
little signs that say, “Love, joy,
peace.” I fell in love with music
all over again.

Bad timing to portray troubled, violent ‘Joker’
Venice, Italy — timeless,
antique and serene — seems
like another planet from mod­
ern­day America, with all of
our nation’s hostility, violence
and fear. So it was a strange
thing to step out of the maze­
like alleys of the San Marco
district and suddenly be
plunged deep into the current
of American neurosis, as ex­
pressed in “Joker,” which will
open, stateside, in theaters
Oct. 4.
The movie had just made its
debut the night before at the
Venice Film Festival, and now
it was showing for a single day
at a theater in Venice. The audi­
ence was almost entirely Euro­
pean and mostly Italian, and
while I don’t know what they
got from the movie, I imagine
they must have been struck by
the sickness depicted onscreen.
They must have been glad to be
able to visit the sickness related
to our nation’s mass shooting
epidemic without having to live
inside it. And when it was over,
they must have been very re­
lieved not to be American.
“Joker” is a very good movie,
and it features a performance
from Joaquin Phoenix that’s
going to get a lot of nomina­
tions and awards. He is eerie
and chilling, the scariest vio­
lent maniac I have ever seen in
a feature film. His performance
is also probably the best por­
trait of a psycho since ... “Psy­
cho.”
But enough about the mov­
ie’s quality until I review it next
month. What I want to talk
about now is the feeling I had
leaving the theater — that “Jok­
er” is both a truthful expres­
sion of something within the
American soul and about the
last thing this country needs
right now.
This is not how I like to
think about movies. I have no
patience for critics who assess
art on the basis of politics.
Movies are not good or bad

because they comport with a
critic’s worldview. They’re not
good or bad based on whether
they are socially virtuous or
not, and critics, in any case, are
not experts on social virtue,
even if they think they are.
But really, another Joker
movie? Seriously? After what
happened the last time? When
“The Dark Knight Rises” came

47 Meters Down: Uncaged
Four teen divers exploring an

selves trapped and under

K
The Goldfinch You can
tell there’s a good story in
this adaptation of Donna
Tartt’s 2013 Pulitzer Prize-
winning novel about a boy who
survived a bombing and steals
a painting. But the connective
tissue is missing to the point of
distraction. Walking out of the
“The Goldfinch” movie, the
overwhelming desire is to find
someone who has read “The
Goldfinch” book, so they can fill
in all the blanks. (R. 149 min-
utes.) — P. Hartlaub

Good Boys This wanna-
be “Superbad” about
12-year-olds isn’t funny or

blast, pairing Dwayne Johnson,
Jason Statham and Vanessa
Kirby in the funniest, most
exciting and most inventive
action movie since “Mission:
Impossible — Fallout.” PG-13.
136 minutes. — M. LaSalle
N Honeyland What
started out as a docu-
mentary about a
beekeeper in Macedonia
becomes a fascinating story
about human nature versus the
environment, when the bee-
keeper gets neighbors, who
want to make money as fast as
possible and don’t care what
they’re doing to the natural
balance. Not rated. 87 minutes.
— M. LaSalle
L It Chapter Two At nearly
3 hours, it’s hard to tell
whether this movie
needs a 40-minute trim, or if
the filmmakers should have
added five more hours and put
it on Netflix. The first “It” had a
strong “Stand By Me” vibe, and
would have worked even
without the killer clown. “It
Chapter Two” is a messier
production, that barely seems
coherent even with the first
film as a primer. (R. 169 min-
utes.) — P. Hartlaub
N The Last Black Man in
San Francisco San
Francisco native Joe
Talbot’s directorial debut is a
strikingly immersive movie, a
slow burn filled with subtleties
and nuance, with its message
nestled in the details as much
as the greater story. Jimmie
Fails stars in the film. While
other filmmakers have effec-
tively captured San Francisco’s
landmarks and topography,
story co-writers Fails and
Talbot seem to be filming the
city’s streets with a micro-
scope. Rated R. 120 minutes.
— P. Hartlaub
Linda Ronstadt: The
Sound of My Voice
When Ronstadt an-
nounced in 2013 that Parkin-
son’s disease had robbed her of
the ability to sing, even in the
shower, a nation of music fans
grieved the loss. The irony of
such a beautiful voice being
stilled floats over the entire 90
minutes of this new documen-
tary, where none of the proces-
sion of associates and other
commentators make the case
for her greatness better than
Ronstadt herself, captured in

L
The Lion King The photo-
realistic computer graphics
make this latest version of
Simba’s saga look like a wildlife

realism of the visuals renders the

unwelcome. PG. 118 minutes.

Toy Story 4 The toys in “Toy
Story 4” are the most loving,
pure-hearted beings on the
planet, and they’re all ultimately
heading for the garbage pail. This
makes them touching figures, and

troduces new characters, new dan-
gers and new possibilities for toys
like Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

Couples face questions of faith in ministry
Religion taken
seriously, but
not too piously
By Dan Cryer
Novels about clergymen
have come a long way since
Sinclair Lewis’ “Elmer Gan­
try” and Graham Greene’s
“The Power and the Glory.”
We no longer require the
technicolor antics of a hypo­
critical evangelist or the
lurching self­pity of a whiskey
priest to peer deeply into the
mysteries of the religious life.
Nowadays writers are more
likely to offer low­key ac­
counts of faith jostled and
tested by cross­currents of
personal tragedy and social
movements. In the most ac­
claimed recent examples,
“Gilead” and its sequels
“Home” and “Lila,” Marilynne
Robinson explores the in­
tersections of faith and family
ties among Protestant min­
isters in an Iowa town.
Cara Wall’s debut novel,
“The Dearly Beloved,” belongs
in the Robinson tradition, not
only because her protagonists
are Presbyterian ministers
and their wives, but also be­
cause she studied at the Iowa
Writers’ Workshop, where
Robinson was a longtime
mentor. Wall’s book also
bears some of the same trade­
marks: a patient, quiet voice,
a tender regard for her char­
acters and the obligation to
take religion seriously — but
not piously.
“The Dearly Beloved” fol­
lows two couples from 1950s
complacency through the
turmoil of the 1960s and ’70s
and beyond. Neither is a con­
ventional pastoral team.
Though James isn’t sure he
believes in God, he does feel
called to the ministry. He

and ’70s and beyond. Neither is a conventional

yearns to heal the broken
world. His wife, Nan, daugh­
ter of a minister, has always
been anchored in church life.
Charles, though the son of
ardent atheists, discovers
profound meaning in Chris­
tianity. Surprisingly, he mar­
ries a woman, Lily, who has
rejected religion ever since
her parents died in a car
accident during her adoles­
cence. How can there be a
God, she thinks, who allows
such a calamity?
The two young couples
meet when both men are
called to a joint ministry to
rejuvenate a troubled Presby­
Ken Hamm terian church in downtown
“The Dearly Beloved” is the first novel from Cara Wall, who Manhattan. Charles’ charge is
studied at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. to be the comforter, James the
exhorter to social action. Jane
Atlas, the no­nonsense church
administrator and Wall’s occa­
sional comic foil, helps them
overcome a lack of experi­
ence.
As skilled as Wall is at
conveying the complexities
and ironies of ecclesiastical
dynamics, she is even better
at evoking the emotional nu­
ances of married life. Charles
and Lily certainly count as
one of the oddest couples in
recent fiction. Yet in this case,
the author makes the improb­
able seem possible. Charles
yearns to relieve Lily of her
perpetual sadness, but can’t
manage it. Nor can he guide
her toward belief. What he
can do is enable her to believe
in him, in his steadfast loy­
alty.
Lily has become so stone­
hearted that she even rebuffs
Nan’s efforts at friendship. Yet
when Lily has to face more
heartbreak, in motherhood,
Nan manages to break down
the barriers. Charles and
James, despite their differenc­
es, prop up each other
through one crisis after an­
other. Thus the bonds evolve
and solidify over the decades.
During one melancholic
episode, Lily blurts out, “You
can’t fix loneliness by finding
friends.” Based on the evi­
dence in this finely observed,
meticulously modulated novel,
Cara Wall disagrees.
Dan Cryer is the author of
“Being Alive and Having to
Die: The Spiritual Odyssey of
Forrest Church.”

Don Quixote, but having the

two sets of characters, led in

When a house haunts
long after it’s gone
By Ingrid Rojas Contreras
“The Yellow House,” Sarah
Broom’s debut memoir, is a
work that rakes through histo­
ry to elevate the once­dreamed­
about then neglected New Orle­
ans East, before and after the
Water, as Broom calls Katrina.
What does home mean when
home has gone, when survivors
are forced to migrate, when the
bind of origin to its people
persists, forcing them to re­
turn, even if it is just to look at
ruins?
“Absences allow us one pow­
er over them,” Broom writes.
“They do not speak a word. We
say of them what we want. Still,
they hover, pointing fingers at
our backs.”
Broom’s memoir was writ­
ten, it feels, with the Yellow
House, the house she grew up
in and which would later be
destroyed in the storm, point­
ing fingers at her back.
There are three movements
in “The Yellow House.” While
the first movement tells of her
family’s migration to New Orle­
ans and her mother’s buying of
the Yellow House, the second
movement describes a child­
hood both guarded and impris­
oned by the house. The third
movement, of course, arrives
with Hurricane Katrina, and
what comes after Katrina. The
structural choice is one that
creates a feeling of a coming
wave. Reading through the first
two movements, one can al­
most hear the rush of water
approach.
History is long, and the
world before Broom begins
with her great­grandmother in
a plantation in Louisiana and
continues with the journey to a
still­segregated New Orleans.
The family ends up in New
Orleans East, a choice that
seems less of a choice when one
looks at the schematics of the
city, the reasons why some land
is cheaper than other land.
Why was Katrina felt with
such overwhelm in New Orle­
ans East? In “The Yellow
House” Broom makes the argu­
ment that power protects its
assets, and disregards the rest.
Power, of course, has a race.
But New Orleans East, when
Broom’s mother first moved in,
was overwhelmingly white.
The nearby presence of NASA,
Boeing and Chrysler lured
white families from other parts
of Louisiana who encamped in
New Orleans East with their
mobile homes.
“The existence of the trailers
(confirmed) an elsewhere,”
Broom writes, “the fact that the
American dream was a moving
target that had to be chased
down.”
When Hurricane Betsy came
in 1965, it was obvious that the
frantic development that had
occurred — with the poorly
constructed levees, and the
navigation canals linking the
Gulf of Mexico to the heart of
New Orleans that brought salt
water that eroded the “natural
storm surge barrier protecting
low­lying places like New Orle­
ans East” — had facilitated the
floods. In the Yellow House, in
1965, water rose up to 20 feet in
just 15 minutes. In 1969, after
the moon landing, NASA let go
many of its workers, and the
white mobile homes that had
settled in New Orleans East up
and migrated elsewhere, chas­
ing again, after wealth.
Broom was born in 1979, just
six months before her father
died. In the days of her child­
hood, the Yellow House became
something to be ashamed of.
Exposed wires were fixed with
masking tape, half of the house
would short out, buckets
caught water beneath sinks,

cabinets grew holes that led to
the outside and which were
covered with foil. It was a
William Widmer / New York Times
house Broom wished would
disappear.
“The Yellow House” is a
book that dwells in the places
that shape us, haunt us, and
upon which we leave a mark.
The Yellow House was to
Broom a place that was also full
of her father.
“I thought then and still
think now: when a person dies
in a place they become the place
and nothing is ever the same
again,” she writes.
But it is not only a psychic
haunting that Broom feels in
the house. It is also physical:
“Traces of my dead father were
everywhere in the house — a
door sanded but unpainted;
holes cut for windows, the
panes uninstalled — like songs
cut off right at the groove.” To
her mother, it was a place that
marked her children. “You see
the lives of the children and
they become the living people
of the house, the house lives in
them. They become the house
instead of the house becoming
them. When I look at you all, I
don’t really see the house, but I
see what happened from the
house.”
It is strange to come to a
place and have the architecture
that both held and tormented
you gone. Broom writes with
majesty and rigor, describing
the moment of first seeing the
house after Katrina: “Birds
were now living in our child­
hood home. When we ap­
proached it with its broken­out
windows, they flew away en
masse. … We poked our heads
through the house’s blown­out
windows — peered into the
living room through the wide­
open frames. Walked along the
side and stood in front of the
new entrances, a fourth door
designed by Water. The house
had split in two.”
Still, Broom knows, this had
been something she had
wished for. “I did want the
Yellow House gone,” she ad­
mits, “but mostly from mind,
wanted to be free from its lock
and chain of memory, but did
not, could not, foresee water
bumrushing it . … The House
called.
”This is how you, Sarah, want­
ed it.
“You, House, are nothing but
a crack — you are wide open
and showing. You tell on your­
self.”
A house cracks, an engineer
friend tells Broom, to “resolve
internally all its pressures and
stresses.”
“The Yellow House,” too, is
about a cracking, what happens
to a person who loses a place of
origin, and how those cracks
may be, if not resolved, then
tended to. With “The Yellow
House,” Broom presents a
powerful eulogy to the places
ruined by the storm, while
highlighting the history and the
racial inequities that made such
a disaster possible.

Tree.”

CLASSICAL
Tchaikovsky in a new and illuminating way
Last November, the Czech
Philharmonic played a concert
in Davies Symphony Hall
under its newly named music
director, Semyon Bychkov. It
was a profoundly heartening
event, not only for the musical
experience on offer but for
what it foretold about the two
participants.
Bychkov has been one of the
most consistently exciting
conductors of our day — his
every guest appearance in San
Francisco a landmark event —
and yet he has never quite
managed to find a conducting
perch that seemed like a good
match for his gifts. And the
Czech Philharmonic, at least
in the glimpses we got of the
orchestra on tour, was a solid
but inconsistent ensemble.
Then they found each other.
The first fruits of that new
relationship are now widely
available, in a wondrously
ambitious recorded set from
Decca titled “The Tchaikovsky
Project.” And it turns out that
that Davies concert was an
entirely reliable snapshot of a
burgeoning musical part­
nership.
Over the course of some
eight hours of music, Bychkov
shows off all of his most reli­
able conducting moves — his
ability to shape a broad rhyth­
mic phrase that’s both pliable
and firm, his assured ear for
orchestral color and dynamic
shadings, his command of
symphonic rhetoric. The dis­
tinctively dark and gritty tex­
tures of this orchestra have
rarely sounded so urgent or so
robust.
At this point, you’re prob­
ably thinking that a massive
assemblage of mostly core
repertoire by a well­represent­
ed composer — all six sym­
phonies, the three piano con­
certos and several other or­
chestral favorites — is an odd
vehicle for a debut. (Alterna­
tively, you might be thinking,
JOSHUA
KOSMAN
“Hey, where are the ballet
scores?”)
But there’s a method to the
madness. In these perfor­
mances, Tchaikovsky’s music
takes on a rich and saturnine
aspect that is notably different
from the way they can often
sound in the hands of other
performers.
The familiar waltz or waltz­
like movements in the Fifth
and Sixth Symphonies, for
example, emerge with a lilt
that is graceful without being
too sugary — even the lithe
phrases of these interludes
have strong musculature. The
Dantean hellscape of “France­
sca da Rimini” churns and
thunders, and the rarely heard

DEAR ABBY By Jeanne Phillips
Unending grief makes aging gracefully tough
Dear Abby: I’m a man
in my mid­70s, and I’m
beginning to understand
why some old people are
annoying cranks. It has
something to do with the
constant physical, emo­
tional and spiritual pain.
(If you’re not sleeping
well as a result, that only
makes things worse.)
My body is breaking
down, and something
hurts all the time. My
wife died some years ago,
other loved ones are gone
as well, and my grief is
an unending process. I
know my remaining time
here is limited, and I’m
not sure I want to depart
the only life I’ve known
for an uncertain future.
I have started alienat­
ing friends and others by
the things I say, and I
didn’t used to be this
way. There’s no excuse

for this, of course, but
what I’m saying is, there
are reasons. And yet,
some people age grace­
fully. My question is,
how do they do it?
Alan in Florida
Dear Alan: It is ex­
tremely important that
you speak to a licensed
mental health provider
about everything you are
experiencing. Your un­
ending grief might be
lessened if you do.
It's true that not every­
one ages physically at the
same rate. Some individ­
uals start preparing in
their 40s and 50s for the
later stages of life by
eating healthier and
exercising. Muscles that
don't move tend to freeze
up and cause pain.

Elegant and artful, this sophisticated Buena Vista/Ashbury Heights
home features livability, luxury—and breathtaking views
S
et on an exclusive, iconic block of Buena Vista/Ashbury Heights, 47
Park Hill Ave is a sophisticated residence with a clean, classic facade
and uniquely contemporary interiors. With thoughtful design touches
and meticulous craftsmanship throughout, the layout celebrates natural
light and seamless indoor/outdoor living—allowing for quiet repose as well
as robust entertaining.
Informed by the exquisite taste of its current owner and boasting stunning
city views at every turn, 47 Park Hill Ave is 2,840 square feet of living
space that spans four levels. Brilliantly conceived of and executed, every
element of the home has been crafted with luxury and livability in mind.
Perfectly sited on a level, verdant spot with stunning city and valley views,
the residence features an elegant Mediterranean front garden and a formal
facade that leads to the custom mahogany entrance. The home opens to rich
American walnut flooring and custom millwork throughout. Tall custom
doors with pewter hardware add a sense of polish at every turn.
The elegant, formal living room boasts a gallery-like setting with arched
ceilings and arched French doors, which open to a 500-square-foot terrace.
Distinctive metal work and sculptural railings from artist Daniel Hopper
feature prominently. The open-plan layout is marked by contrasting bold
wood, which serves to divide the space. A few steps lead down to a theatri-
cal dining area with a soaring double-height ceiling and a circular skylight,
which streams natural light throughout.
The airy, open kitchen is well appointed and thoughtfully designed.
M3
Highlights include a butler’s pantry, a rich soapstone island, dual sinks,
high-end appliances from Miele, Sub-Zero, and Gaggenau, plus a stylish
glass-tile mosaic backsplash. Overlooking the backyard, the kitchen receives
sunlight on all sides with views straight through to the front of the home.
All four levels have spectacular terraces, which serve as additional outdoor
space and are easily accessed by a series of French doors. All three of the
bedrooms have stunning and inventively designed en suite bathrooms, tall,
solid doors and windows, and generous, custom-designed closets. The luxu-
rious, suite-like master bedroom stands out with its private balcony and two
sets of French doors that open to a fully tiled bath and a sunken soaking
tub.
The backyard presents like a separate resort-like oasis. Designed by the
award-winning landscape firm Surface Designs, the playful modern garden
includes a fountain, statuary, and a chic outdoor kitchen clad in custom
black wood. Wired for audio and intercom, other highlights include a
brand-new forced-air heating system, two-car side-by-side garage, and
secure wine storage. Close to world-class dining and shopping with an easy
commute to the financial district, 47 Park Hill Ave is a particularly prized
catch in a conveniently located and highly sought-after neighborhood.

“We wanted to create a nar­
rative for who we thought the
potential buyers are, and that
gives each unit a unique point of
view,” Riccio said. “Our story on
the lower unit was that it was
potentially home for a family
who wanted outdoor space and
a warmer, more welcoming
palette. While in the penthouse,
we really wanted to play up the
dark finishes because we had
more natural light to work with.
The abundant natural light cre­
ates a strong contrast with the
dark finishes.”
Riccio admits that the dark
finishes are a bold choice, but
bets they will pay off.
“It’s a risk, but a risk that I
expect will excite a lot of buy­
