California’s native fish could vanish if the drought continues
By Bettina Boxall
REDDING, Calif. — Last sum-
mer, a narrow, rock-rimmed stretch
of the Sacramento River near here
turned into a mass graveyard for
baby salmon.
Upstream releases of water from
Shasta Dam were so warm that virtu-
ally an entire generation of endan-
gered winter-run Chinook was wiped
out. The eggs never hatched, or if
they did, the emerging young soon
died.
A similar disaster could unfold
this summer. And if the drought
drags on for another year or two, wild
populations of some of the state’s
most prized fish are likely to vanish.
“We’re going to be losing most of
our salmon and steelhead if things
continue,” said UC Davis professor
emeritus Peter Moyle, a leading au-
thority on California’s native fish.
A FEMALE CHINOOK salmon sits close to death after laying her
eggs near Shasta Dam in the drought-stricken Sacramento River.
Also in danger are the long-suffering
delta smelt, whose numbers have
plunged to what he called “the last of
the last.”
“It would be a major extinction
event,” Moyle warned.
The drought’s toll on California
has been measured mostly in terms
of idled cropland, dried up domestic
wells and brown lawns. Less visible
but more devastating has been dam-
age to native fish that struggle for
survival in the best of times.
Four years of [See Fish, A14]
household incomes of
$500,000 or more have col-
lected state subsidies for
buying electric and hybrid
cars under a program that is
criticized as a taxpayer
handout to the wealthy.
State regulators, in re-
sponse, are restricting the
subsidies to Californians
who earn less than $250,000
or couples taking in less than
$500,000. But that standard
is also under fire from some
lawmakers and anti-tax ac-
tivists, who ask why subsi-
dies worth up to $5,000 are
given to people who can al-
ready afford the cars.
“The state should not be
diverting … taxes on low-in-
come and middle-class fami-
lies to benefit wealthy driv-
ers,” said Senate Republican
leader Bob Huff of San Di-
mas.
Money for the subsidies
comes from a surcharge on
vehicle registration fees and
a portion of the smog fee
paid by California motorists.
There were no income limits
for the subsidy when the
program was enacted in 2010.

Juror 17 is the only one who
has spoken publicly. She
said there were one hold-
out and two wobblers. Is
her analysis correct?
Wobbler is even too
strong of a term. They had
gone around the room at
some point and said, “OK,
how strong are you on your
position?” They had gotten
10 [on a scale of 1 to 10 to
gauge how strong the posi-
tions were] from everybody
and eight on these two.
So what happened with the
holdout, and when did she
break the news to the jury?
This juror said, “I’m a 10,
but I’m a 10 for life.” It was
an hour to an hour and a
half before the judge got the
completed verdict forms.
They really felt comfortable
with the idea that they were
going to get death until this
person revealed her posi-
tion.
Do you know what affected
her most?
Mental health of course
was an issue in the case. The
juror who was a holdout,
there was no indication to
us that this juror even en-
gaged in lengthy description
of, “This is how I felt.” The
deduction is that it had to
be mental health.
You said that at some point
the jurors voted among
themselves about whether
they could sentence
Holmes to death if mental
health was not an issue. Is
that correct?
I can’t tell you if it was a
formal vote or if this was a
discussion topic. It was
something like, “If mental
health were not an issue,
would you all vote for
death,” words to that effect.
Everyone said yes.
Gov. John Hickenlooper
has said he would not allow
Russ Parsons

someone to be executed
while he is in office. Gover-
nors in Washington, Ore-
gon and Pennsylvania have
taken similar actions. Did
that affect the jury?
We’re talking about one
juror. Without talking to
that one juror, it is impos-
sible to know. Some of the
victims who were onboard
with the death penalty said
that it had impacted them.
They said, “I was willing to
sign up my family for a
death penalty trial, but now,
if some governor 20 years
from now can pull the rug
out from under a jury and
sentence, I would rather
have closure right now.” It
was painful.
Many have said that, if
Holmes does not get the
death penalty after killing
12 and wounding 70, then
the death penalty is dead in
Colorado. Do you agree?
No. It was one juror. If it
came back 12 for life, I would
have said, “Good grief.” If
this juror also came back
with death, no one would
have said: “This is disposi-
tive. The death penalty is
here to stay, and mental
health is never going to be
an issue.” To suggest that
because that juror had
reservations for whatever
personal reasons, I don’t
think you can draw any
policy implications from
that.
This year alone, the death
penalty has been thrown
out in Connecticut and
Nebraska. Defendants in
high-profile death penalty
cases in Washington state
this summer got life in
prison without parole. Do
you see a change in the air?
I think there’s always
been that group that feels
like we should find a way to
minimize the consequences
for the most terrible crimes.

Maybe it picked up traction
because of the Nebraska
Legislature. But people here
do not want to create a
ceiling of maximum possible
punishment for people who
commit the worst of the
worst crimes.
So you think the death
penalty will stay on the
books in Colorado?
In one way or another, I
do.
Dexter Lewis was just
convicted of murder in
Denver for killing five
people during a robbery,
and the jury is in the sen-
tencing phase considering
execution. The judge in
that case warned jurors
that the two cases are not
alike. Do you think the
Holmes verdict will impact
the Lewis case?
I hope it doesn’t. I want
the jurors to follow the
instructions they were
given. One holdout juror
should not affect them.
Each of these cases must be
thought about individually.
They are both evil acts.
Holmes was convicted of
murdering 12 people and
wounding 70. But I have
heard you say that there
are 1,200 victims in the
case. How do you figure?
The way victims are
defined under our laws
extends beyond the people
injured. It goes to immedi-
ate family members. With
just the 12 deceased, we
were dealing with a group of
more than 100. Everyone in
Theater 9 or 8 could have
been a victim under an
attempted murder statute.
We didn’t charge that way
because of logistical rea-
sons. It doesn’t deny that
those people are victims.

‘It was gut instinct, survival’
American tells how he
got the train gunman
in a chokehold and
then stopped the
bleeding of a victim.
By Henry Chu
and Kim Willsher
PARIS — “He seemed
like he was ready to fight to
the end,” said Spencer
Stone, the U.S. serviceman
who was the first American
to tackle a gunman aboard a
Paris-bound train.
“So were we.”
Stone spoke to reporters
for the first time Sunday, de-
scribing a fierce struggle
that neutralized the at-
tacker but left the Air Force
enlisted man with injuries
requiring surgery, including
a nearly severed thumb.
After being awakened by
the sound of a gunshot in
their railway carriage Friday
afternoon, Stone and his
friends, Alek Skarlatos and
Anthony Sadler, looked up
and saw an assailant at the
end of the car holding an
AK-47.
“It looked like it was
jammed or it wasn’t work-
ing, and he was trying to
charge the weapon,” Stone, a
U.S. airman from Carmi-
chael, Calif., told reporters
gathered at the U.S. Em-
bassy in Paris. “Alek just hit
me on the shoulder and said,
‘Let’s go.’ ”
The two childhood
friends, with Sadler not far
behind, ran down the length
of the carriage and tackled
the shirtless gunman. Stone
locked him in a chokehold
while Skarlatos snatched his
gun away.
“It seemed like he kept
pulling more weapons left
and right — pulled out a
handgun, Alek took that;
took out a box cutter, started
jabbing at me with that,”
said Stone. “All three of us
started punching him.... I
was able to grab him again
and choke him unconscious
while Alek was hitting him in
the head with the pistol or ri-
fle.”
With the help of a British
businessman, the Ameri-
cans hogtied the attacker
with a necktie. But Stone,
trained as a paramedic, no-
ticed a nearby passenger
who had apparently been hit
by a bullet and was bleeding
profusely from the neck.
Ignoring his own injuries,
Stone found the wound and
stanched the flow.
“I just stuck two of my fin-
gers in the hole, found what I
thought to be the artery,
pushed down and the bleed-
ing stopped, and so I just
said, ‘Thank God,’ ” he said.
The three friends have
been hailed as heroes by
both President Obama, who
telephoned them Saturday,
and by French President
Francois Hollande.
In Tehran, Britain
reopens its embassy
By Ramin Mostaghim
and Laura King
TEHRAN — With police
sealing off the site for safety,
Britain on Sunday reopened
its embassy in the Iranian
capital, raising the Union
Jack for the first time since
the landmark diplomatic
compound was stormed in
2011 by Iranian hard-liners.
The reestablishment of a
British diplomatic presence
in Tehran — and the reopen-
ing hours later of Iran’s mis-
sion in London — marked
another milestone in the Is-
lamic Republic’s cautiously
improving ties with the
West.
Last month, Iran and six
Western powers, including
the United States, reached a
historic accord calling for
long-term curbs on Iran’s
nuclear program, although
the pact still needs congres-
sional approval. The agree-
ment is expected to lead to
the lifting of international
sanctions that for years have

But they struck a humble
note at Sunday’s news con-
ference, thanking the
French authorities who
cared for them after the at-
tack and also crediting a
Frenchman who apparently
was the first person to con-
front the assailant when the
gunman emerged from a
washroom.
“I feel like he deserves a
lot of the credit because if it
wasn’t for him, maybe it
could’ve been way different,”
left Iran economically iso-
lated.
The November 2011 at-
tack on Britain’s two main
diplomatic compounds in
Tehran were reminiscent of
the 1979 takeover of the U.S.
Embassy, which set off a 444-
day hostage crisis. Washing-
ton and Tehran still have not
resumed diplomatic rela-
tions.
Philip Hammond, on the
first visit to the Iranian capi-
tal by a British foreign secre-
tary since 2003, said the
storming of the United King-
dom’s two main diplomatic
compounds in Tehran had
marked a “low point” in rela-
tions. After the attack, Brit-
ain closed its Tehran em-
bassy and ejected Iranian di-
plomats from London.
But the 2013 election of re-
formist-minded Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani
inaugurated a gradual thaw.
Last fall, Rouhani and Brit-
ish Prime Minister David
Cameron met in New York,
the two countries’ first tete-
a-tete at such a high level
Stone said.
The suspect has been
identified as 25-year-old
Ayoub El Khazzani, a Moroc-
can who French authorities
say has had ties with terror-
ist organizations. A lawyer
who was with El Khazzani
after his arrest said he de-
nies any terrorist intentions
and insists that he was plan-
ning to rob the passengers.
“He is dumbfounded that
his action has taken on a ter-
rorist dimension,” Sophie
since 1979.
Hammond called the re-
opening of both missions
“the logical next step to
build confidence and trust
between two great nations.”
Full ambassadors are ex-
pected to be appointed in
coming months; in the
meantime, both govern-
ments will be represented at
the charge d’affaires level.
In remarks at the cere-
mony and a later joint news
conference with his Iranian
counterpart, Mohammad
Javad Zarif, Hammond said
that disagreements were in-
evitable but that London
and Tehran could deepen
cooperation on such impor-
tant regional issues as bat-
tling drug trafficking, terror-
ism and the growing power
of the militant group Islamic
State.
“As confidence and trust
grows, there should be no
limit to what, over time, we
can achieve together, and no
limit to our ability to discuss
these issues together,” Ham-
mond said.

David told French television
channel BFMTV. “He
doesn’t understand why this
story has taken on such im-
portance. He took weapons
and boarded the train to
basically extort money from
the passengers.”
But Sadler, a student at
Cal State Sacramento,
scoffed at that idea.
“It doesn’t take eight
magazines to rob a train,” he
said of the ammunition
found on the suspect.

Zarif, for his part, said
Iran sought “mutual gains
for all countries in the re-

and terrorism common
problems to be jointly con-
fronted.
Despite a determinedly
conciliatory atmosphere,
there were lingering remind-
ers of the rupture between
the two countries. Graffiti

A LAWYER says
Ayoub El Khazzani
was planning only a
robbery on the train.
Besides their own quick
actions, the Americans
credited luck with having
prevented a potential
bloodbath. After his weapon
jammed, the gunman ap-
peared not to know how to
get it to work.
“He clearly had no fire-
arms training whatsoever,”
Skarlatos said. “If he knew
what was he doing, or even
just got lucky … we would’ve
all been in trouble and prob-
ably wouldn’t be here today,
along with a lot of other peo-
ple.”
David, the lawyer, said
her former client said that
embassy reopening as the
“return of the fox” — an epi-
thet used in past years to re-
fer to perceived British per-
fidy.
Many Iranians, however,
welcomed what they hope
will be an end to years of eco-
nomic hardship resulting
from the sanctions. Ham-
mond was accompanied by a
group of business leaders
from several large multina-
tional firms, most from the
energy sector.

the gun jammed and that he
did not fire a single shot.
“When I told him people
had been injured, he almost
fell off his chair. As far as he
was concerned, there were
no shots fired. The Kalash-
nikov didn’t work,” David
said.
She said he claimed to
have found the AK-47 in a
suitcase at a park in Brus-
sels near the station where
he boarded the train.
She was El Khazzani’s
lawyer during his first inter-
rogation in Arras, the north-
ern French town where he
was arrested. She is no long-
er representing him, as he
has been moved for ques-
tioning to France’s anti-ter-
rorism headquarters on the
outskirts of Paris.
French Interior Minister
Bernard Cazeneuve said
Saturday that El Khazzani’s
name appeared on security
alert lists in three countries
— Belgium, France and
Spain — because of his sus-
pected links to radical Is-
lamic organizations.
German intelligence
services say El Khazzani ap-
peared on their radar in May
when he boarded a plane
from Berlin to Istanbul, Tur-
key. Spanish security serv-
ices say El Khazzani had
been in Syria.
David said the suspect
disputes those accounts.
“He denies having gone to
Turkey or Syria and says he
traveled around Spain, An-
dorra, Belgium, Austria and
Germany during the last six
months, as well as one visit
to France.” Convicted twice
for drug trafficking in Spain
in 2013, El Khazzani has told
police he worked as a painter
and decorator in Spain, Da-
vid added.
At the U.S. Embassy
news conference, Stone said
he didn’t think twice about
confronting the gunman.
“In the beginning it was
gut instinct, survival,” he
said. “It wasn’t a conscious
decision…. Our aim was to
survive … and for everyone
else on that train to make it.”
Stone underwent surgery
to reattach his thumb and
was released from the hospi-
tal Saturday evening.
On Monday, Hollande
will receive and recognize
the three Americans at the
Elysee Palace.
Sadler said he hoped oth-
ers would draw a lesson from
what happened.
“Hiding or sitting back is
not going to accomplish any-
thing, and the gunman
would’ve been successful if
my friend Spencer had not
gotten up,” Sadler said. “So I
just want that lesson to be
learned going forward, in
times of terror like that, to
please do something. Don’t
just stand by and watch.”

BEIRUT — Islamic State
militants have destroyed a
temple at Syria’s ancient ru-
ins of Palmyra, activists said
Sunday, realizing the worst
fears archaeologists had for
the 2,000-year-old Roman-
era city after the extremists
seized it and beheaded a lo-
cal scholar.
Palmyra, one of the Mid-
dle East’s most spectacular
archaeological sites and a
UNESCO World Heritage
site, sits near the modern
Syrian city of the same
name. Activists said the
militants used explosives to
blow up the Baalshamin
Temple on its grounds, the
blast so powerful it also
damaged some of the Ro-
man columns around it.
The Britain-based Syri-
an Observatory for Human
Rights said Sunday night
that the temple was blown
up a month ago. Turkey-
based activist Osama Kha-
tib, who is originally from
Palmyra, however, said the
temple was blown up Sun-
day. Both said the extrem-
ists used a large amount of
explosives to destroy it.
The pro-opposition ob-
servatory group and Khatib
relied on information from
those still in Palmyra, and
the discrepancy in their ac-
counts could not be immedi-
ately reconciled, though
such contradictory informa-
tion is common in Syria’s civ-
il war.
The fate of a nearby tem-
ple dedicated to the Semitic
god Bel was not immediately
known. Islamic State sup-
porters on social media also
did not immediately men-
tion the Temple of Bel’s de-
struction.
The Sunni extremists,
who have imposed a violent
interpretation of Islamic law
across their self-declared
“caliphate” in territory they
control in Syria and Iraq,
claim ancient relics promote
idolatry and say they are de-
stroying them as part of a
purge of paganism. Howev-
er, they are also believed to
sell off looted antiquities to
fund their operations.

previous plans to strike Iran
By Batsheva Sobelman
JERUSALEM — Ac-
counts published in Israel
over the weekend suggest
that Prime Minister Benja-
min Netanyahu planned
more than once in recent
years to strike Iran but met
with internal opposition.
On Friday, Israel’s Chan-
nel 2 news broadcast ex-
cerpts from a taped inter-
view that former Prime Min-
ister Ehud Barak gave to the
authors of his upcoming bi-
ography. Barak, who served
as defense minister in Ne-
tanyahu’s second govern-
ment before retiring in 2013,
described three occasions
from 2010 to 2012 when plans
to strike Iran fell through for
different reasons.
Israel’s top leaders at the
time — Netanyahu, Barak
and then-Foreign Minister
Avigdor Lieberman — re-
portedly believed that Iran
would soon enter a “zone of
immunity,” beyond which a
strike would be more com-
plicated and less effective.
The three held a meeting
with Israel’s top security
chiefs, including the chief of
“At the decisive moment,
the army’s answer was that
[Israel’s] cumulative capa-
bilities did not pass the
threshold of an operation,”
Barak said in the interview
with Danny Dor and Ilan
Kfir, authors of his new biog-
raphy. In other words, the
military was not ready to
strike in 2010.
When the matter next
came up in 2011, the mili-
tary’s new chief of staff,
Benny Gantz, said the army
was prepared and a wider se-
curity Cabinet of eight min-
isters was convened, accord-
ing to Barak. At that point,
he said, two of Netanyahu’s
more hawkish ministers,
Moshe Yaalon and Yuval
Steinitz, objected that the
potential losses Israel could
face were too great.
The following year, plans
coincided with a joint mili-
tary exercise with the United
States and Israel did not
want to implicate its impor-
tant ally and get into diplo-
matic trouble, Barak said.
Accurate or not, Barak’s
detailed account of such
sensitive discussions caused
anger and concern among
Israeli leaders and defense
sponse. Defense Minister
Moshe Yaalon said in a
statement that he would not
comment, particularly not
on deliberately “distorted
versions” of events. A state-
ment from Steinitz said that
he would not comment on
matters discussed in closed
meetings and that he re-
garded disclosing informa-
tion from Cabinet meetings
“very gravely.”
Tzachi Hanegbi, head of
the parliament’s Foreign Af-
fairs and Defense Commit-
tee, which oversees sensitive
security discussions, said he
was surprised that military
censors permitted the publi-
cation and said he intended
to question the chief censor.
“I can’t understand what
reasons could have possibly
justified the publication,” he
told Israel Radio.
The censor, entrusted
with screening information
for potential harm to na-
tional security, often per-
mits Israeli media to publish
sensitive information that
appeared previously in for-
eign reports. According to
Hanegbi, however, 90% of
what Barak said had not
been published before.

VETERINARIANS EXAMINE a newborn panda at the National Zoo. The birth of panda twins is only the
third time it has happened in the U.S., and survival isn’t easy. The mother is getting a lot of support.
A giant little surprise
Panda was expecting, but zoo didn’t foresee twins
By Christi Parsons
WASHINGTON — Interest in the
impending birth of a panda at the Na-
tional Zoo was so great this weekend
that the famous “panda cam” crashed
its Web page. And that was just for the
first birth. Who knew the day would
end with panda twins?
The pregnancy had escaped notice
until just a few days ago. But by Satur-
day, Mei Xiang the giant panda was
showing signs of preparing to give
birth, and at 5:35 p.m., she did just
that, with the zoo’s full panda team on
hand to watch the intimate event.
The big surprise came a few hours
later, revealed via Twitter: “We can
confirm a second cub was born at
10:07. It appears healthy.”
As usual, the cubs were born pink,
with wispy fur, and blind. It was not
immediately apparent who their fa-
ther was.
Their sex will be determined later,
and their names will come sometime
after that.
To give the cubs the best chance of
survival, the zoo removed one cub,
hand-fed it, gave it antibodies from
Mei Xiang and placed it in an incuba-
tor.
“The panda team will alternately
swap the cubs, allowing one to nurse
and spend time with Mei Xiang while
the other is being bottle-fed and kept
warm in an incubator,” the zoo said on
its website. “The primary goal … is for
both cubs to have the benefit of nurs-
ing and spending time with their
mother.”
Giant pandas give birth to twins
about 50% of the time, the zoo said,
but this is only the third time it has
happened in the U.S. And survival is
difficult.
“There are only two other female
giant pandas around the world who
have successfully reared twins, and it
required a lot of human support,” the
THE NATION
zoo said.
Panda lovers have known exhilara-
tion and heartbreak before.
Two of Mei’s cubs have lived past
infancy, 10-year-old Tai Shan and 2-
year-old Bao Bao. But two babies
born between them didn’t make it.
Mei’s predecessor pandas at the
Washington zoo knew similar sorrow.
The famous Ling-Ling and Hsing-
Hsing, gifts from the Chinese govern-
ment after President Nixon’s visit to
China, had five cubs, none of whom
lived beyond a few days.
The childless couple developed
quite a following, though, drawing
millions of visitors each year, and Mei
and her young family have enjoyed a
similar popularity.
Conservationists venerate the
black-and-white bears, among the
rarest animals in the world, as famil-
iar symbols of their efforts to protect
endangered species.
According to the International
Union for Conservation of Nature, gi-
ant pandas are considered an endan-
gered species. There are fewer than
2,500 pandas left in the wild, most of
which are confined to the south-cen-
tral region of China.
The San Diego Zoo announced
this month that its giant panda was
not pregnant, ending weeks of specu-
lation. Zookeepers had been monitor-
ing the panda to see whether she
showed any behaviors consistent with
pregnancy. The panda, Bai Yun, has
had six cubs and is nearing the end of
her reproductive years.
Veterinarians at the National Zoo
were thrilled Wednesday when it
looked as if a new one might be on the
way. Mei did something rare that
morning. Though in recent days she
had “declined participating in ultra-
sounds,” as they wrote on their web-
site that morning, that day she re-
sponded to the panda keepers’ calls.
The ultrasound showed what
looked like a developing fetus, 4 centi-
Becky Malinsky Smithsonian’s National Zoo
meters long and due any time in the
coming weeks.
A day earlier, out of concern for the
pregnancy — or a “pseudopreg-
nancy,” as they thought this might be
— they had partially closed the David
M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda
Habitat around Mei’s den. Tian Tian,
the zoo’s adult male, and Bao Bao
continued to entertain visitors in the
panda house. (Tai Shan is now in
China.)
On Saturday, the tension was
building. Mei was restless, having con-
tractions, licking her body and stay-
ing in her den — all behaviors consis-
tent with a baby on the way, the zoo
said in a post on its Facebook page.
As the zoo’s technology division
worked to restore the panda cam, the
experts tended to the expectant
mother, whose water broke in the late
afternoon.
“Hoping for a healthy cub,” the zoo
said on Facebook. “May take a few
hours.”
Just an hour later, the first cub was
born. Mei had been inseminated in
April with sperm from Tian Tian, the
father of her other two offspring.
She also was inseminated with
sperm from Hui Hui, a giant panda at
China’s Wolong National Nature Re-
serve, in hopes of diversifying the ge-
netics of the panda population in hu-
man care.
Those procedures, like most every-
thing else in Mei’s life, were live-
streamed on Twitter using Periscope
and live-posted to Instagram under
the hashtag #PandaStory.
The babies will have a modicum of
privacy for a while. Bao Bao got a few
months to herself before she made a
public debut.

FIREFIGHTERS walk through heavy smoke in Twisp, Wash. The Okanogan
Complex fire, which covered about 240,000 acres, was 10% contained.

Washington wildfires
grow; more help sent
By Lauren Raab
Dozens of wildfires con-
tinued to ravage the Pacific
Northwest, particularly
Washington state, as more
firefighting equipment and
manpower arrived from
across the nation over the
weekend.
Twelve uncontained fires
in Washington covered more
than 600,000 acres Sunday,
according to the National In-
teragency Fire Center. Gov.
Jay Inslee’s office said more
than 200 homes had been de-
stroyed and 12,000 homes re-
mained threatened.
More resources to battle
the blazes became available
after the Obama adminis-
tration declared a federal
state of emergency in the
area last week.
National Guard Black-
hawk helicopters from Colo-
rado, Minnesota and Wyo-
ming headed over, Inslee’s
office said in a statement. An
incident management team
from San Diego went north
to oversee a new staging
area at Fairchild Air Force
Base near Spokane, the gov-
ernor’s statement said, and
20 large fire engines “specifi-
cally designed to protect
threatened communities
and residences” were com-
ing from Arizona, Colorado,
Nevada and Utah.
Emergency workers from
Australia and New Zealand
have been deployed as well,
and when the state sought
help from residents who
have firefighting know-how,
thousands reportedly volun-
teered.
The Okanogan Complex
fire, which killed three fire-
fighters and injured four
others last week near the
town of Twisp, about 150
miles northeast of Seattle,
was10% contained as of Sun-
day afternoon. It covered
about 240,000 acres.
Firefighters there “were
making good progress in the
morning,” helped by an infu-
sion of National Guard
members, calmer winds and
fog that lasted into the early
afternoon, fire spokesman
Rick Scriven said.
But after the fog lifted,
the blazes flared up again, he
said, and shifting winds
posed a challenge. Monday’s
weather wasn’t expected to
be ideal either.
“The relative humidities,
they’re low, low, low, and the
temperatures are going to be
up to the 90s,” although
winds are expected to be
calmer, Scriven said.
Blazes spread in multiple
ways, he said. One is crown
runs, in which fire “goes from
tree to tree to tree” without
touching the ground. Anoth-
er is torching, in which fire
climbs a tree and wind dis-
perses the embers.
One of the four firefight-
ers injured last week — Dan-
iel Lyon, 25, of Puyallup,
Wash. — remained in critical
condition at Harborview
Medical Center in Seattle,
hospital officials said Sun-
day. He was in intensive care
with burns to about 60% of
his body. The hospital invit-
ed the public to send him
notes of encouragement.
The three others were re-
cuperating at home after be-
ing released from the hospi-
tal, according to the Wash-
ington Department of Natu-
ral Resources.
Smoke was fouling the air
in many areas. Okanogan
County, for example, warned
Sunday that “the air quality
remains very unhealthy”
and advised residents to
wear masks and limit out-
door activity.
In Oregon, a dozen
uncontained fires were
burning more than 400,000
acres, and in California, 14
uncontained blazes covered
more than 280,000 acres, ac-
cording to the National In-
teragency Fire Center. Idaho
had16 uncontained fires cov-
ering about 145,000 acres.

Old-school blimp sails away

[Blimp, from A1]
in south Florida. Off in the
distance, a Goodyear blimp
is visible. Using the com-
pany’s archival records, he
determined that the gon-
dola on the blimp in the
photograph was the same
one he was sitting in for the
last time.
Thirteen people were
waiting on the ground to
pull the buoyant blimp
down to Earth. Six of them
ran in a V-formation and
grabbed two long ropes that
dangled from the blimp’s
nose and used all their
weight to make sure she
kept her nose to the wind.
Another six grabbed on to
the gondola, and one
jumped inside to add bal-
last.
“I don’t think she wants
to be here,” St. John said.
“No,” said the blimp’s
chief mechanic, Steve Dien.
“She doesn’t want to go into
that door over there.”
It was as if she knew
what was going to happen

vation also will be decom-
missioned.
The new airships will be
faster, longer and more
maneuverable. Instead of
pulling levers and toggles
attached to pulley systems,
pilots will use a joystick.
“The new ones are defi-
nitely more digital and
computer-driven,” St. John
said. “But this one, whatev-
er the winds are doing
across the ship, you actually
feel it, so you can’t help but
develop some kind of affin-
ity with it.”
Over time, the ship’s
controls have come to feel
like extensions of his limbs.

team was already halfway
through breaking down the
ship to get her ready for
deflation. They had re-
moved one of the hulking
tail fins, as well as the 30-
foot-tall grid of LED lights.
Some of the people dis-
mantling the ship were the
same ones who helped build
her back in Akron in 2002,
including Dien.
“I know every inch and
nut and bolt of this ship,” he
said. “It’s emotional.”
As elements of the blimp
were stripped away, bags of
lead shot were added to the
gondola to keep the blimp
from floating to the ceiling.
The crew removed one
pristine engine and then the
other. These will be used as
spare parts.
The gondola, which first
went into service in 1979,
would be sent to Chino,
where it would be donated
to the Planes of Fame Air

Just before 8, Tony San-

celebrated his 30th anniver-
sary with Goodyear, rode a
hydraulic lift up to a circular
helium valve in the center of
the ship’s bright yellow “Y.”
A colleague rode a lift to a
corresponding valve on the
opposite side of the blimp.
They opened them at the
same time, and helium
began emptying out of the
ship — slowly, silently and
almost imperceptibly.
Seconds later, the
blimp’s skin began to
pucker.
By 8:02, the hydraulic
engines had gone silent and
only the drone continued to
buzz. The tail started to
droop first. A few minutes
later, the letters “G” and “O”

A14 M O N DAY, AU GU S T 2 4, 2 015
THE RECEDING SHORES of Lake Shasta are a visible mark of the harmful environmental effects of the enduring drought. Nearby at Shasta Dam, federal and local
officials are battling 110-degree weather to keep the temperature of the Sacramento River cool enough to give endangered young Chinook salmon a chance to survive.
The drought’s hidden victims
[Fish, from A1]
drought — and the accompanying relax-
ation of environmental standards by state
regulators — have compounded the harm of
dams and diversions that long ago thwarted
fish migration and destroyed habitat.
Spawning winter-run Chinook would
never choose to hang out on the outskirts of
Redding on a day when the city baked in 111-
degree heat. They would prefer to swim in
the cold, spring-fed waters of the McCloud
and other Sacramento tributaries to the
north.
But for about 70 years, those historic
spawning grounds have been out of salmon
reach, blocked by the towering concrete face
of Shasta and the buttresses of its smaller
sibling, Keswick Dam.
“This is as far as fish can go on the Sacra-
mento main stem,” fishery biologist Ryan
Revnak said as he steered his boat upriver
toward Keswick, which regulates flows from
Shasta’s hydropower plant.
Revnak, who works for the Pacific States
Marine Fisheries Commission, pointed out
the gravel beds where the salmon built their
nests, called redds. A female, close to death
after laying her eggs, hovered in shallow wa-
ter near the bank. A dead male, his procre-
ative work also done, floated by.
Salmon eggs and emerging fry need cold
water to survive. The river temperature
shouldn’t top 56 degrees. Last year in the
spawning grounds below Keswick, it climbed
above 62 degrees. Only 5% of the 2014 brood
stock lived.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which
operates the dams, had miscalculated the
volume of cold water in Shasta and didn’t
have enough to maintain the proper river
temperature. The problem wasn’t just that
the drought had slashed runoff that fills the
lake; the computer model used to predict
cold water storage was wrong.
Federal agencies are trying to avoid a re-
peat this year by rationing Shasta’s cold wa-
ter releases so managers don’t run out while
the eggs and young develop over the next few
months. But stretching the cold water re-
serves has meant lower releases this sum-
mer, nudging up the river temperature a de-
gree or two during peak spawning.
And long bouts of 110-degree days in
Redding could further warm the river.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty” in the plan, said
Maria Rea, assistant regional administrator
for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad-
ministration Fisheries. “I don’t have a high
confidence that it will work.”
If it doesn’t, an industrial-looking com-
plex near the base of Shasta Dam could be
the winter run’s last hope.
Combating nature
One wall of the Livingston Stone National
Fish Hatchery is lined with incubation trays
holding hundreds of thousands of winter-
run eggs and young in different stages of de-
velopment: fertilized eggs, eyed eggs that re-
semble pink jelly beans with two miniature
fish eyes, sac fry feeding on their yolks, tiny
infant fish that wiggle like a mass of gray
worms.
Tanks of juveniles fill the main building.
Adults are held in outside tanks, enclosed in
zippered tents so they can’t leap out.
Livingston is a conservation hatchery,
opened in the late 1990s to maintain a geneti-
cally diverse population of wild winter-run.
In a typical year, the hatchery traps up to 120
returning adults in the Sacramento and
spawns them with the precision of a champi-
on horse breeder.
The average female lays 5,000 eggs, which
are divided into two or more sets. Each set is
fertilized with sperm from a different male
whose DNA has been analyzed to avoid in-
breeding.
The tanks and egg trays are bathed with
circulating water released from the dam.
Last summer, hatchery managers had to use
chillers to maintain the proper temperature.
They may have to do the same this year.
To counter the drought losses, Living-
ston has ramped up production. The hatch-
ery team is spawning 300 adults this year and
come winter will release twice as many ju-
veniles into the Sacramento as it normally
does.
But even in good years, only a tiny frac-
tion of those young hatchery salmon survive
to adulthood and return to spawn. And if

In a state as extensively plumbed as Cali-

on water managers than nature. As the

Democrats defend Is July Rain A Preview of

Clinton’s email use El Niño? Are You Ready?
Bill Richardson, a
once-estranged ally,
says she did nothing
wrong. Rival Trump
offers a gloomy take.
By Christi Parsons

WASHINGTON — Sev-
eral prominent Democrats
hit the TV airwaves Sunday
to defend Hillary Rodham
Clinton’s use of a private
server for work-related
emails while she was secre-
tary of State, batting down
claims that her presidential
campaign has been dam-
aged by the controversy.
Polls show a growing
number of Americans be-
lieve the Democratic front-
runner cannot be trusted,
and questions about the
emails have dogged Clin-
ton’s campaign for weeks.
In a sign of Democrats’
mounting concern, former
New Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson, who was on the
outs with Clinton for several
years, appeared on ABC’s
“This Week With George
Stephanopoulos” to say he
sees nothing wrong with her
using a private server to
send and receive unclas-
sified government emails.
Richardson, who served
as secretary of Energy in Bill
Clinton’s administration,
said he might have set up the
same system if he had had a
Cabinet position in recent
years.
“I would have said: ‘You
know what? I don’t want an
official classified email sys-
tem. I want to have my own
private server,’ ” he said.
“Because of WikiLeaks, be-
cause of hacking, because of
leaks.”
He compared it to former
Secretary of State Colin
Powell’s use of private email,
even though Powell didn’t
set up his own server.
Clinton’s campaign an-
nounced this month that it
was turning over the server
and a thumb drive with

candidate of all the candidates,” says former New
Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat who didn’t
endorse Clinton for president in 2008.
emails to the Justice De-
partment, which is investi-
gating whether a security
breach occurred.
Richardson said he stood
by his decision to endorse
then-Sen. Barack Obama
over Clinton in the 2008
presidential race, but said
Clinton now was “the best
candidate of all the candi-
dates.”
Ellen Tauscher, a former
U.S. representative from
California who worked for
the State Department
under Clinton, offered simi-
lar support.
In hindsight, “some mis-
takes were made,” Tauscher
said Sunday on Fox News.
Officials can “quibble
about whether [some
emails] should be reclassi-
fied” now, she said, but Clin-
ton has repeatedly said she
didn’t send or receive infor-
mation that was classified at
the time.

A changed Sharpton
[Sharpton, from A16]
taurant.
In April, at the opening of
the annual National Action
Network convention, Mayor
Bill de Blasio hugged Sharp-
ton onstage. Obama has
twice been the convention’s
keynote speaker, in 2011 and
2014.
Sharpton insists he has
not changed that much
other than his obvious phys-
ical transformation, which
includes a more than 100-
pound weight loss and an el-
egant new wardrobe. He
says that society has
changed and that the views
he espoused in the 1980s and
’90s about racial profiling,
“stop and frisk” tactics and
police abuse are no longer
considered radical.
But Sharpton also has
widened his repertoire to
emphasize mainstream is-
sues such as healthcare, ed-
ucation, same-sex marriage
and immigration.
All of them affect blacks,
and advances in those areas
could be lost if a Republican
wins the White House,
Sharpton said after deliver-
ing his weekly sermon at the
House of Justice, the net-
work’s headquarters.
Losing the White House
is his biggest fear, and his
sermon had focused on the
need for African Americans
to prevent that by being po-
litically active and not giving
in to despair despite a na-
tional landscape still rife
with inequality.
Sharpton was operating
on about four hours’ sleep,
having flown in that morn-
ing from leading a rally in
Cleveland to demand law en-
forcement reform. But he
spoke without notes for
more than an hour, his voice
booming through the cav-
ernous room.
The sermon turned per-
sonal as Sharpton remem-
bered his mother, who
scrubbed floors, directing
him to wait by the mailbox
on the first and 16th of each
month to ensure nobody
stole their welfare checks or
food stamps.
“It wasn’t my fault how I
was born, but it’s going to be
my fault how I leave here,” he
told the mainly black crowd
of about 200, exhorting them
to vote.

“Everything we have
fought for is at risk,” he said
in an interview after the ser-
mon. “I don’t think there’s a
sense of urgency. If you get
one more Republican Su-
preme Court justice, they
will have locked a majority
around voting rights,
around immigration,
around affordable housing.
We will lose a lot of what
we’ve gained in the last 50
years.”
He worries about the ef-
fect on black Americans
when Obama leaves office
and they no longer have the
image of a black president
and his family crossing the
White House lawn.
“If you think there’s a dis-
connect now, imagine what
it’ll be like for the next presi-
dent,” said Sharpton, who
sees seasoned leaders such
as himself as key to shaking
up elected officials.
That has put him at odds
with young African Ameri-
can activists who deride him
as old school and self-serv-
ing. Powerful, centralized
leaders are not necessary,
they say, when social media
can produce huge protests
anywhere in minutes.
“That’s one reason I feel
like a decentralized move-
ment is one of the best op-
tions,” said Johnetta Elzie,
26, of St. Louis, who openly
clashed with Sharpton’s
people during a protest in
December in Washington,
D.C., to demand police re-
form. Elzie and a few other
protesters climbed onstage
and demanded to speak.
“We started this. There
should be young people all
over this stage,” said Elzie,
who gained prominence in
Ferguson for using social
media and a newsletter to
document events there after
Brown’s death. Elzie and De-
Ray Mckesson went on to
launch Mapping Police Vio-
lence, an online accounting
of civilians killed by police.
Both eschew Sharpton’s
style of leadership, which
they said can slow things
down.
“People can do the work
in each city and they’re not
waiting for the command
from one person,” Elzie said.
Greer agrees that social
media have undercut the
need for strong centralized

Some highfliers start descent
If the stock
market keeps
falling, the tech
sector could see
less investment
and more
acquisitions.
By Paresh Dave
Last week’s stock sell-off
could upend an already con-
fusing landscape for the U.S.
technology sector.
For a while last week it
appeared tech stocks might
escape relatively unscathed,
even as the broader market
headed down. But Friday’s
3.5% loss for the Nasdaq
composite index put the
leading technology ex-
change into the red for the
year, down 0.6%.
If stocks continue sliding
this week, that could put a
drag on investments in tech-
nology companies, which
have been strong this year.
Acquisitions could pick up
as initial public offerings
slow.
The coming weeks
should help determine
whether the outlook is as
bleak as some fear for start-
ups, venture capitalists and
tech stock investors. Here’s
a look at some of the key
questions.
Why were tech stocks hit
hard last week?
Tech stocks may have
suffered from previous
success — as investors
rushed to sell high, looking
to lock in gains as markets
faltered.
Until this month, tech-
nology stocks had been
among the highest-per-
forming. They headed down
amid signs of weak demand
in the global economy, in-
cluding falling commodities
prices and dismal data out
of China.
Most investors didn’t
consider tech’s blue-chip
stocks overvalued. The
share-price-to-earnings
ratio for the information
technology sector at large
fell only slightly to 17 from
17.26 last week, according to
FactSet Research Systems
Inc. data.
But the Standard and
Poor’s 500 index’s technolo-
gy listings fell more than any
other sector except energy
last week, with Apple Inc.,
Google Inc. and Microsoft
Corp., the top rung of U.S.
tech companies, collectively
losing almost $94 billion in
market value.
Will tech stocks continue to
fall?
They might. Technology
companies already are
riskier bets because many of
them are valued on their
potential more than today’s
profits or dividends.
Investors cutting back is
a sign that economic condi-
tions have shifted enough
for them to lose confidence
in companies’ prospects.
Many will choose to invest in
safer bets such as utilities
and makers of bread-and-
butter consumer items,
including food, beverages
and household goods pro-
ducers.
If those investors do go
into tech, they might focus
only on companies such as
action camera maker GoPro
Corp. and active wearable-
tech firm Fitbit Co. that are
growing fast on the backs of
U.S. consumers — where
demand remains strong.
Still, any downturn
presents opportunity: Com-
panies such as Twitter Inc.,
for instance, are now cheap-
er to buy.
A subset of investors who
believe strongly in certain
businesses might be willing
to buy their shares at the
more attractive prices, said
Kathleen Smith, a principal
at investment advisor Ren-
aissance Capital. If enough
people fall into this catego-
ry, the rebound could be
swift.
Should start-ups fear going
public?
Technology start-ups
have tapped a seemingly
bottomless reservoir of cash
over the last four years,
MONDAY BUSINESS
THE STOCK MARKET slide could lead to fewer initial public offerings by tech start-ups. Above, GoPro CEO Nick Woodman, center,
celebrates his company’s IPO in June 2014. The firm is growing fast on the backs of U.S. consumers — where demand remains strong.
enabling many to stay pri-
vate much longer than
comparable companies did
in previous years. That’s
pushed tech IPOs to histori-
cally low levels, said Smith,
who manages Renais-
sance’s IPO exchange-
traded fund.
The 16 tech companies
that went public this year
represent 12% of all IPOs
over the period, down from a
norm of 20% to 25%, Smith
said. Before last week’s
slide, venture capitalists,
though, described the situa-
tion as a calm before a
storm.
A long-term slowdown
would throw the expected
downpour off course. Tech
companies that went public
this year have on average
been underperformers,
littering the market with
“dead bodies,” as Smith put
it.
With investor appetite
even weaker now, it’s easy to
see tech companies delaying
IPOs as long as they can
until the market improves,
financial experts said.
Otherwise, companies
should expect to raise less
cash and accept lower share
prices.
Companies without huge
revenue growth, positive
cash flows and uncertain
profitability are in the worst
shape, experts said.
Would start-ups do better
selling themselves?
Not necessarily. The
same thinking goes for
start-ups looking to be
bought out. Far more start-
Why the long bull market is flagging
associated press
NEW YORK — It was fun
while it lasted.
For years, investors in
U.S. stocks shrugged off
threats — a government
shutdown, fear of a euro col-
lapse, a near U.S. debt de-
fault — and just kept on buy-
ing. At the sixth anniversary
of the bull market in March,
the Standard & Poor’s 500
index had more than tripled
in value.
Now, buyers are hard to
find. A wave of selling has
hammered major indexes,
with the S&P 500 losing
nearly 6% in the last week.
That is its worst weekly
slump since 2011 and leaves it
close to what Wall Street
calls a correction, a fall of10%
from a recent high.
Is there more selling to
come? No one knows, but
corrections are natural in a
bull market, a pause in the
market’s march higher, and
this one is long overdue.
They usually come about
once every 18 months. The
last one was four years ago.

ups are acquired or merge
than go public. Large com-
panies that have balked at
many acquisitions because
of high asking prices could
come calling again with
low-ball offers.
“You’re going to have to
bear through it or sell at a
discount,” said Mark Mullen
of Los Angeles venture-
capital firm Double M Part-
ners. “Companies set to sell
this year or next year are in
trouble” if the market cor-
rection drags on.
The good news is that
many start-ups have been
preparing for that scenario,
he said. Mullen, whose firm
has invested in mobile gam-
ing company Scopely and
marketing software maker
Retention Science, said he’s
been telling portfolio com-
panies to raise enough
money to take them into
2017.
THE STANDARD & POOR’S 500 index lost nearly

The big trigger for selling
this week was yet more evi-
dence of a slowdown in
China’s economy, but there
were plenty of other worri-
some developments weigh-
ing on the market. A look at a
few of them and why you
may not want to panic — yet.

If young companies
normally raise funds four
months before expecting to
run dry, they now should
give themselves an eight-
month window, he said.
Venture capitalists still
have huge cash piles —
raising more money for their
funds in the second quarter
than in any quarter since
the start of the Great Reces-
sion. So they have the re-
sources to prop up promis-
ing companies that need to
delay IPOs.

entrepreneurs in an ex-
tended slowdown?
First investors in start-
ups are similar to Wall
Street investors, Mullen
said.
If the market is down
10%, the wealthy individuals
who typically fund start-ups
probably lost a similar
amount of their own net
worth, he said. So just like
public-market investors,
they will take the riskiest
bets off the table first. Top-
ping that list would be
speculative investments in
start-ups.
“If this is a longer-term
correction, you’re going to
see less capital,” Mullen
said. “The appetite for new
investment vehicles would
go sideways.”
Even if the market con-
traction isn’t prolonged, the
prospect of the Federal
Reserve raising its bench-
mark interest rate this fall
could be troublesome for
start-ups that do manage to
get slightly further along.
Investors see start-ups
as one of the few paths to
high returns in a market
where bond and equity
yields are weak.
Higher interest rates
would restore the safer
option of investing in those
markets instead of taking
continuing to contract.
What happens in China
matters, and not just be-
cause it is the world’s sec-

ing Chinese demand has
sent prices plunging for all

iron, copper, oil. That has
walloped countries that ex-
port them.
Its surprise devaluation
also triggered other govern-
ments to drive their curren-
cies lower, roiling financial
markets and spreading fears
of a currency war.
Plunging oil
The steep drop in the
price of oil in the last month
has become a major concern
for traders.
Oil briefly went below $40
a barrel Friday, its lowest
price since the financial cri-
sis six years ago.
If oil keeps falling, it is
likely to drag down the S&P
500. Drillers and other ener-
gy companies make up a sig-
nificant chunk of that index.
Shares of those companies
have plunged 35% in the last
12 months.

direction?
The indicators will be the
same as they are for the
broader market: how in-
vestors of public companies
react to consumer confi-
dence, new home sales,
manufacturing activity and
other economic data, along
with what the Fed decides
to do next month with its
federal funds rate.
Another cue would be
whether venture capitalists
publicly remain bullish
about innovative business
models.

valued at $3 billion in its

“Any company similar to

So Pure Storage’s valua-

Profit letdown
The upside to falling oil is
that all the money that driv-

— and a faster-growing U.S.
economy. But Americans
are choosing to pay off debt
instead of going shopping.
“Household finances are

lately. In the second quarter,

Subsidizing clean vehicles

A state program that has been criticized as a handout to

electric car industry and
helping low- and moderate-

“Our policy objective
here is to rapidly increase
the percentage of zero-emis-
sion vehicles in the state,”
said Mary Nichols, chair-
woman of the California Air
Resources Board, which
oversees the state’s Clean
Vehicle Rebate Program.
Since its start, the pro-
gram has provided $242 mil-
lion in rebates to 114,702 peo-
ple who bought or leased
electric or hybrid cars.
Data from the Center for
Sustainable Energy, which
runs the program on behalf
of the Air Resources Board,
shows that 7,056 people who
live in economically disad-
vantaged census tracts have
received a subsidy. Com-
bined, they collected $14.8
million, less than 6% of the
total disbursed.
A survey of 15,432 rebate

the center, found that as of
May, 959, or 6% of those Cali-

About 28% made between
$200,000 and $499,000, and
43% earned $100,000 to
$199,999.
About 23% reported an
income of $99,000 or less.
About 15% of those sur-
veyed said they bought a
Tesla. The price of an entry-
level electric Tesla Model S
starts at about $75,000 be-

turer’s suggested retail price
for an electric Nissan Leaf is

U.S. District Judge Mi-

Shade balls get their 15 minutes
L.A.’s unusual water
saving tactic goes
viral, but the Internet
has mixed opinions.
ALICE WALTON
It started out like a typi-
cal photo op when Mayor
Eric Garcetti arrived at the
Los Angeles Reservoir in
Sylmar this month.
He was joined by officials
from the city and the De-
partment of Water and
Power, who stood on the
banks of the Los Angeles
Reservoir to unload 20,000
small black balls into the
water. The so-called shade
balls are designed to form a
cover and protect the water
from UV rays and algae.
They also reduce evapora-
tion, which is important
amid California’s drought.
But there was something
mesmerizing about all those
balls rolling out of the truck
and bouncing down into the
water. They went seriously
viral.
Within hours, videos of
the shade balls were every-
where. Social media went
crazy for the name. The
hashtag #shadeballs took
off, with one Twitter user
writing, “If you ever doubted
that LA was the home to
everything plastic... #sha-
deballs.” And the mayor
found a drought angle for
the long-standing water
quality project.
“In the midst of Califor-
nia’s historic drought, it
takes bold ingenuity to
maximize my goals for
water conservation,” Gar-
cetti said in a statement,
noting that the balls would
reduce evaporation by as
much as 300 million gallons
a year.
Shade balls turned into a
PR triumph that lasted a
while. The story made head-
lines in publications that
typically don’t cover the
DWP:
8 “California throwing
shade ... at the drought” —
TMZ
8 “Shade balls fill reser-
voir to conserve water in
drought-hit LA” — The
Guardian
8 “LA throws 96 million
‘shade balls’ at its water
shortage — and it’s mesmer-
izing” — Mashable
Then the shade ball
became a true media dar-
ling.
A headline in the New
York Times declared: “In
California, Millions of
‘Shade Balls’ Combat a
Nagging Drought.” Video of
the rollout posted on the
mayor’s Facebook page was
shared 21,000 times.

newscast in her hotel room

“Garcetti is no fool when
it comes to social media. He
knew that this was a new
way to get people interested
in the drought story,” Muller
said. “Whether it’s the bear
in the backyard or the shade
balls in the reservoir — it’s

it’s such good video that it

But amid the fascination
came questions.
The shade balls are
made of high-density poly-
ethylene, the same plastic
found in 1-gallon containers
of milk and even the DWP’s

EXPLAINER
Cliff-jumping reaches new heights
Fueled by social
media, more people
are leaping from San
Diego’s coastal bluffs.
PAULINE REPARD
The signs are all there,
warning that the sandy,
ragged edge of Sunset Cliffs
in San Diego County is
unstable, and that jumping
from the bluff into the ocean
is illegal.
But social media and
scorching weather last
weekend combined to entice
as many as 100 people to a
popular jumping spot called
the Arch.
It’s a problem that has
been growing across South-
ern California. Videos of
people jumping off cliffs at
Malibu Creek State Park
have become popular on the
Internet. In Rancho Palos
Verdes last year, attention
was focused on the issue
ing off Inspiration Point.
City officials said social
media has heightened inter-
est in jumping there.
In San Diego, the city has
responded by budgeting for
a park ranger to patrol the
68-acre Sunset Cliffs Natu-
ral Park, including 18 acres
of narrow coastline.
The Arch is a big draw on
any given day, especially in
the summer when the ocean
temperature hovers around
70 degrees while eastern
San Diego County tops 100.
Daredevils of all ages, but
mostly teenagers, get a
running start, then hurl
themselves off the 20-foot
cliff and splash into the sea
that churns over hidden
rock outcroppings.
Locals have been doing it
for decades. Most come out
without a scratch.

leaders are getting more
concerned, though, that
Internet photos and videos
of jumping at the Arch are
bringing in too many people
from around the county,
other states and even other
countries who are unaware
of the dangers or the city
ban on jumping.
“If you don’t know what
you’re doing, it’s really dan-
gerous,” said Craig Klein, an
Ocean Beach Community
Planning Board member.
“In winter that area turns
into a maelstrom, a churn-
ing whirlpool. Or if you jump
at low tides, you’re almost
guaranteed to hit the bot-
tom. People from outside
the area don’t know a 1-foot
tide from a 5-foot one.”

guard Sgt. Jon Vipon, “It’s
against the law for a reason:
People get hurt.”
the water and breed bacter-
ia?
Those questions reached
a fever pitch last Thursday.
In a piece for FoxNews.com,
experts questioned the
science behind the plastic
balls and warned they could
be a “disaster.”
Misael Virgen San Diego Union-Tribune
On Aug. 7, a man in his
30s who made the jump was
knocked unconscious and
rescued by bystanders, then
hauled up the cliff by life-
guards and hospitalized.
Years ago, Vipon said, he
rescued a man who was
partially paralyzed by his
diving injury at the Arch.

tion arcs over the water and

away from the edge and not
to jump off.

“It’s going to be a bacteri-

told the news outlet.
In response, the DWP
put out a three-page state-
ment that called the Fox
News piece “wrong, invalid
and based on uninformed
opinions.”
“We know the shade ball
discussions and specu-
lations continue on social
media platforms and other
mainstream media,” said
DWP spokeswoman Mi-
chelle Figueroa. “We want to
make sure our customers
don’t miss that amidst all
the ’noise.’”
FoxNews.com Editor
Refet Kaplan said, “We
stand by our reporting.”
That story was just part
of the backlash.
LA Weekly declared
shade balls a “stupid” way to
conserve water. Other pub-
lications quickly seized on
the conservation aspect,
questioning why water
Boats don’t count. The
infraction carries a $470 fine.
Parents are held respon-
sible for their children’s
violations.
Klein suggested the city
charge cost-recovery fees for
cliff-jumping rescues.
“Historically, it used to
be more local kids doing it,”
lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky
said. “Then social media
caught on, and people came
from miles around to jump.
It’s a big issue. Over the last
four years it’s become more
and more popular.
“Right now it’s crazy. The
police get reports of 100
people jumping off the
cliffs.”
He said the crowds have
even created a safety issue
for lifeguards, who are heck-
led if they write citations.
Police Lt. William Carter
said that in the large crowd

officials weren’t focusing on
more serious, long-term
solutions to the drought.
By Sunday, the headlines
in a Google search were less
charitable:

so-bright solution to
drought” — San Francisco
Chronicle
8 “Why shade balls aren’t
such a great idea after all” —
Grist
8 “Shade balls to the
rescue? Hardly” — Newser
Ultimately, Muller said
the shade balls saga is a
story about the media to-
day. “If they can’t communi-
cate their science, then the
news media and social
media will take over and
twist it,” she said. “I think
it’s really incumbent on
scientists and engineers to
be very, very clear and sim-
ple in terms of how they
describe what’s going on.”
alice.walton@latimes.com
people “mouthed off ” to
officers writing tickets to
people who had dared to
jump from the cliff right in
front of them.
“It wasn’t a bad group of
kids, but they were still
breaking the law,” Carter
said. “We’re working with
lifeguards, and we will meet
with some community
groups to talk about cliff
rescues.”
Vipon said lifeguards
made only a handful of
serious rescues at the Arch
in the last two years, but
they frequently get diverted
from their station a mile
away to check on crowds or
reported injuries. Often, he
said, by the time they get
there the jumpers have left.
“They know it’s against
the law and they’re afraid of
getting into trouble, so
friends bundle up the in-
jured person and take them
home,” Vipon said. “We’ve
responded for no reason.”
Rob Bregman, 45, who
grew up in Point Loma and
worked as a lifeguard for 12
years, said the crowds gen-
erate peer pressure to jump.
He said officials should be
writing more tickets to try
to curb the activity.
Vipon said he doesn’t
enjoy writing tickets, so he
tries a lighter, educational
approach.
“I’ll gather the whole
crowd together and give
them a mass warning,” he
said. “I’ll ask where they’re
from. A substantial number
are from out of town.
They’ve heard about the
Arch on social media. A lot
of people go in not knowing
it’s illegal. They don’t read
the signs because there are
a lot of signs out there.”

A Pico Rivera man is

By Ruben Vives
A 19-year-old Pico Rivera
man has been arrested in
connection with a “sextor-

nearly two dozen teenage
girls in California and sev-

to the Los Angeles County
Sheriff ’s Department.
Cesar Estrada was ar-

Meyer said detectives
with the SAFE Team were

“traveled throughout the

YNES ZAVALA , a parent volunteer, helped build the 10,000-square-foot garden at Enadia Way Elementary
School in West Hills. The school constructed a second garden, one that was drought-tolerant, in 2011.
Lessons keep blooming
School gardens create hands-on experiences even in drought
By Sonali Kohli
If you’re a teacher, a gar-
den is a gift that can gener-
ate endless assignments
and teaching plans.
The scientific lessons are
obvious enough. Beyond
those, there’s a lesson for ev-
eryone. Kindergartners can
look for shapes and colors.
Older students can look at
the worms to identify their
parts. Or learn about the five
senses by describing the gar-
den. Or practice descriptive
writing.
Now some Los Angeles
schools are adding to that
list of possibilities with a
question: How does the
drought affect what a school
garden should look like?
Since 2009, those are the
kinds of lessons that stu-
dents at Enadia Way Ele-
mentary School in West
Hills have been able to learn.
Nine-year-old Joseph Za-
vala’s favorite assignment
was drawing the plant he
liked the most: Powis Castle,
a species of artemisia. “It
looks like a plant that got
snowed on with snowflakes,”
he said.
It started as a small gar-
den — just six boxes, filled
mostly with flowers. The
principal heard that Jo-
seph’s dad was an avid gar-
dener, and sought his help.
Ynes Zavala planted some
bok choy, ornamental flow-
ers and radishes. That was
in fall 2009.
Today, that small garden
has grown to about 10,000
square feet, filled with fruit
trees and vegetable plants,
in addition to the flowers.
Zavala is there almost every
day, and every class is re-
Judge OKs release of antiabortion video
By Stephen Ceasar
A Los Angeles County
judge has ruled that an anti-
abortion group that secretly
recorded videos of abortion
providers and others had a
1st Amendment right to
make at least one of the re-
cordings public.
Superior Court Judge Jo-
anne O’Donnell removed a
temporary restraining order
that had been imposed in
state court in L.A. that pre-
vented the release of one vid-
eo taken by the Center for
Medical Progress.
In that case, StemEx-
press, a Placerville, Calif.,
company that provides fetal
tissue to researchers, had
asked the court to block the
release of video recorded by
the group at a May meeting
of company executives in an
El Dorado Hills restaurant.
O’Donnell ruled last
week that StemExpress had
shown that the firm had a
good chance of prevailing in
court on an invasion-of-pri-
vacy claim against the
group. California law pro-
hibits the unauthorized re-
cording of confidential con-
versations.
Nevertheless, the judge
ruled, the court did not have
the legal authority to impose

in the garden a week, which
they’ll start doing in Sep-
tember.
Tomatoes grow along
one row, steps away from
squash. On Thursdays dur-
ing the academic year, the
school holds a farmers mar-
ket where Zavala and stu-
dents sell the produce,
which in turn funds the gar-
den. Last year, they made
about $4,000.
L.A. Unified’s regional
superintendent, Vivian Ek-
chian, wants more of the 80-
some schools in her area to
offer students the same ex-
periences, especially be-
cause new science stand-
ards incorporate hands-on

The Center for Medical

firestorm recently by re-

from aborted fetuses for re-

Those recordings are a

that the students will devel-
op plans for their own gar-
dens, and they’ll have a big
and relevant science lesson
built into that planning: the
drought.
Enadia’s garden ex-
panded to its current size in
2010, before the drought
choked many California re-
sources. Previously the area
was an unused field, Zavala
said. Students use extra
mulch to keep the soil moist,
plant the crops close to one
another, and only hand-wa-
ter the plants that need wa-
ter.
In 2011, the school also
transformed a 4,300-square-
foot patch of brown grass
into a drought-resistant gar-
den with district funds and
resources. There’s a pepper
footage the antiabortion
group has said it gathered
during a 21⁄2-year infiltration
into the world of abortion
providers.
A federal court judge had
issued a restraining order
preventing the release of vid-
eos made by the same group.
In a statement after Fri-
day’s ruling in Los Angeles,
StemExpress said it was
pleased that the judge noted

gives shade to the lunch
area, plus various kinds of
cactuses and, Zavala’s favor-
ite, a Cleveland sage plant
that he snaps bits off to sniff.
Rub one and your hand
smells like sage for the next
hour.
Zavala, along with other
parents, has helped tend
that garden too, and is plan-
ning to replant it this fall to
make a native garden with
almost all California plants.
Ekchian is calling on
schools and students to re-
search drought-resistant
gardens so they can engage
in the curriculum the way
that schools like Enadia can,
and gain the practical expe-
rience Californians need to
deal with the drought, she
said. She’s rolling out the
challenge in schools in Sep-
tember, and will collect sub-
missions over the next
months.
“Responsible behavior is
contagious,” Ekchian said.
At Enadia, it’s a balanc-
ing act, said Debra Leith, a
landscape designer who vol-
unteers at the school and
others. Enadia is not going
to stop using its 10,000-
square-foot garden, even
though it uses more water
than an empty patch of as-
phalt would. (Enadia
doesn’t measure its water
use, though schools could in-
corporate that into their
proposals.) But the garden
also teaches students that if
they’re going to use water,
they should use it for some-
thing that gives them suste-
nance.

District
settles
sex
abuse
cases
By Ruben Vives
The Los Angeles Unified
School District has reached
a settlement in several law-
suits filed by former stu-
dents who allege they were
sexually abused by a music
teacher at Hamilton High
School.
Anthony DeMarco, the
attorney for the plaintiffs,
confirmed that a settlement
had been reached last week
but had not been finalized.
He said the amount that was
agreed upon was confiden-
tial.
At least four former stu-
dents, who were not identi-
fied, accused Vance Miller of
having sex with them while
they attended the high
school. Miller, who had been
a fixture at the school, was
pulled from Hamilton’s re-
garded music, dance and
theater program in 2010,
when the allegations began
to emerge.
Miller was fired in 2012,
around the time that a
teacher at Miramonte Ele-
mentary School was ac-
cused of lewd acts with stu-
dents.
Shannon Haber, director
of communications and me-
dia relations for the district,
declined to comment.
In at least two lawsuits
filed in 2011 and 2012, former
students accuse Miller of be-
friending and mentoring
them, then grooming them
for relationships that physi-
cally escalated into sexual
behavior.
DeMarco said his clients
were sexually abused in the
mid-’90s and the 2000s. He
said at least six additional
victims came forward and
accused Miller of abusing
them as far back as the 1970s
and as recently as 2010.
DeMarco said the victims
were expected to serve as
witnesses for his case.
The school district and
the Los Angeles Police De-
partment investigated the
allegations against Miller,
but the Los Angeles County
district attorney’s office de-
clined to file charges, citing a
lack of evidence.
The Los Angeles city at-
torney also declined to file,
citing problems with the
statute of limitations.

vacy in the restaurant.
“We’re pleased with the
ruling. The court recognized
that trying to stop the re-
lease of the video would be
an unconstitutional prior re-
straint of speech,” he said.
After the ruling, the Cen-
ter for Medical Progress re-
leased a transcript that in-
cludes what the group says
are excerpts of the recorded
conversation along with a
trailer with portions of the
video.
The group, which said it
planned to make the entire
video public, said the video
showed that a StemExpress
executive admitted receiv-
ing fully intact fetuses from
Planned Parenthood.
In a statement, StemEx-
press described the video as
“heavily edited, highly de-
ceptive” and insisted it had
never asked for, received or
provided a researcher with
an “intact fetus.”
The firm said the conver-
sation in the video was about
“intact livers,” which it said
“are among the most ur-
gently needed of medical tis-
sues by scientists and medi-
cal researchers working to
cure cancer, diabetes and
Alzheimer’s disease.”

Long wait for a new start
The U.S. offers refuge
to Afghan and Iraqi
interpreters, but the
visa process can be
difficult to navigate.
By Jeanette Steele
His name is “Jack.”
In Afghanistan, he grew
up tending cows and a goat
on family land far from the
provincial capital of Kanda-
har.
Jack learned English so
that he could work with U.S.
troops “because they are
helping us,” he recently said
via email.
On Thursday, he arrived
in San Diego to start his new
life as a refugee.
The 23-year-old Afghan
native is one of nearly 30,000
foreign nationals who since
2007 have successfully par-
layed working for the United
States in Iraq or Afghani-
stan into a new American ex-
istence.
But it hasn’t been an easy
or certain road.
The special visa program
for this group of immigrants,
70% of whom worked as
translators and interpreters
for U.S. troops, has been
criticized as being too cum-
bersome and taking too long
to bring over qualified appli-
cants.
Although American sol-
diers are largely gone from
Iraq and Afghanistan, many
of the locals who stood with
them are still there — and in
danger, advocates say.
Matt Zeller was a 26-year-
old Army first lieutenant
when his interpreter, Janis
Shinwari, saved his life in Af-
ghanistan in 2008.
“Janis literally shot and
killed two Taliban fighters
who were about to kill me.
After that, I made him the
solemn promise if I could
ever repay that debt, I
would,” said Zeller, a former
Army intelligence officer
and one-time congressional
candidate.
It took three years for
Shinwari to get his visa. And
when the interpreter and his
family finally landed at
Washington’s Reagan Na-
tional Airport in 2013, they
were entering an iPhone cul-
ture while hailing from a
country where many don’t
have email access.
After that, Zeller and
Shinwari decided to help
others navigate the system.
In late 2013, they formed
the charity No One Left Be-
hind. The group has assisted
500 former interpreters and
their families with resettle-
ment.
Zeller said the need for
the charity’s support is high.
More than 14,000 people are
competing for the 2,500 spe-
cial visas still available to Af-
ghan interpreters, he said.
In 2006, Congress first
acted to approve special
visas for Afghans and Iraqis
who helped the United
States. The criteria required

elementary schools, two of
the three Ocean View School
District campuses that were
closed last year because of
asbestos concerns, will wel-
come all their students back
at the start of the new school
year Sept. 9.
Lake View Elementary,
however, will remain closed
for the entire school year, the
district says.
Construction crews have
been working since last fall
to remove small amounts of
asbestos, a potentially haz-
ardous mineral fiber, that
were found at the three Hun-
tington Beach schools dur-
ing a modernization project
involving 11 district schools.

being able to pass a security
test.
In the following years,
Congress increased the
number of visas available,
but critics said the applica-
tion process was unneces-
sarily difficult and often re-
sulted in paperwork bottle-
necks.
In response to media
scrutiny and lobbying by ad-
vocates including Zeller,
Congress has further in-
creased the number of visas,
and the State Department
has streamlined the process
somewhat — although the
average processing time for
an Afghan application is still
13 months.
Security clearances are
the biggest roadblock. Al-
though interpreters have in
theory already proved their
allegiance, vigilance re-
mains high.
The situation was not
helped by the 2011 arrest of
two Iraqi refugees in the U.S.
on charges of terrorism.
Then an Iraqi immigrant
who may have served as an
interpreter was arrested in
Texas last May on suspicion
of lying to the FBI about
swearing allegiance to the
militant group Islamic
State, according to news re-
ports.
But people who have
worked with interpreters see
them as brothers in arms.
Robin Kimmelman was a
U.S. legal advisor to the Af-
ghan National Army from
2012 to 2014. Jack was her in-
terpreter.
“I could not have done my
job without him, and he defi-
nitely kept me safe while I
was there,” said Kimmel-
man, who helped the Afghan
man wade through the visa
process for more than two
years. “I wanted to make
sure we took care of him and

other schools in four dis-
tricts after the three cam-
puses were closed in early
October.
Many students returned
to Oak View and Hope View
this year and were placed in
portable classrooms on
campus.
District officials said con-
struction at Hope View has
been completed and that the
school buildings will be
ready for students and facul-
ty for the new school year.
The campus will be open to
parents and students for
tours a week before the first
day of school, district
spokeswoman Julie Jen-
nings said.
In March, the district ap-
proved a $1.35-million con-
tract with American Tech-
nologies Inc. to complete the

said. At Oak View, the asbes-

Jack is No One Left Be-
hind’s first transplant to San
Diego County. Zeller said the
group hopes to create a hub
in this region because of its
large population of post-9/11
veterans.
A 51-year-old Iraqi immi-
grant who goes by “Johnny
Walker” already knows the
road that Jack faces.
When you arrive at
Walker’s small house in east-
ern San Diego County,
there’s a U.S. flag hanging
out front, accompanied by a
Navy SEAL banner.
Walker, wearing dark
sunglasses and drinking a
Coors Light, is a tall man
with military-cropped hair.
On his patio are the sign-
posts of his distinctive his-
tory: There’s a hookah pipe
for smoking pungent Middle
Eastern tobacco and a shiny
American barbecue grill.
A native of Mosul, Iraq,
he arrived in the United
States in 2009 after working
as an interpreter for Navy
SEALs, who gave him his
nickname.
He claims to have per-
formed as many as 1,000 mis-
sions during five years as a

After the war ended, he
wanted to remain in Iraq
and continue fighting for his
country. But it meant his
family would stay on the run
and in danger.
“I thought, ‘If I’m leaving
Iraq, who will stay in Iraq
and fight for Iraqi free-
dom?’ ” he said in a recent
interview.
The situation became
unbearable when he trav-
eled from Baghdad to Mosul
to visit his family.
“When I had a vacation,
don’t think I was taking my
family to Disneyland or
Vegas — no.” Walker said. “I
would just stay in my room
and stand by with my AK-47
or grenade. If somebody at-
tacked my house, I can pro-
tect my family. It was kind of
torturing, and I have no op-
tion.”
In the United States, the
first thing he did was go to
Target to buy an American-
style shirt.
Walker was lucky. His
Navy SEAL buddies stood
by him, securing him an on-
base job and a hand-me-
down car.

do the same for Jack, who
will stay with Walker and his

adults and couples without
children are eligible for up to
eight months of cash assist-
ance, food stamps and Medi-

efit is $350 for singles and
$569 for couples.
Families with children
can get more assistance over
a longer period.
No One Left Behind of-
fers its recipients more, in-
cluding home furnishings
and three months of living

Zeller said he has seen
former interpreters obtain
work as landscapers, car
salesmen, gas station at-
tendants and retail clerks. If
they can get a vehicle, they
may use a pizza delivery job
to finance a nicer car and
then work as a driver for
ride-sharing services such
as Uber and Lyft.
After Jack settles in, he
says, he wants to join the
U.S. military.
On Friday, he was still
getting used to his new
American home.
“I was thinking I was

Brown is
pressed
on 2016
hopefuls
By Chris Megerian
SACRAMENTO — Gov.
Jerry Brown talked presi-
dential politics on NBC’s
“Meet the Press” on Sunday,
sounding off on Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ candi-
dacy, Hillary Rodham Clin-
ton’s emails and the odds
that Vice President Joe Bid-
en will enter the race.
The governor, who has
run for president as an out-
sider himself, said Sanders
is “running as the critic of
the status quo.” Given the
federal government’s low ap-
proval ratings, Brown said,
“that means there’s always
an opening for the critic, for
the outsider. And that’s cer-
tainly what Sanders is do-
ing.”
Brown said in extra foot-
age posted online that Don-
ald Trump, the real estate
magnate seeking the Re-
publican nomination, is
“also one of these outsider
types.”
The governor
Trump once gave him a ride
said
on his jet; Brown remem-
bered admiring a Renoir
painting hanging in the
plane’s cabin.
“If I had $10 billion, I’d
probably be a lot more confi-
dent of myself than I am,”
Brown said. “So maybe his
money breeds a certain
amount of confidence that
bleeds over into disdain and
the kind of performance that
he’s rendering.”
In the pre-taped inter-
view, which NBC released a
portion of Friday, Brown
said the controversy over
Clinton’s emails was “almost
like a vampire” and that the
presidential candidate
needs to “find a stake and
put it right through the
heart.”
“I have a hard time figur-
ing out why is it such a big
deal,” he said. “But it is. And
she’ll have to use her best
imagination and adroitness
to deal with it.”
Brown declined to pre-
dict whether Clinton would
be the Democratic nominee,
citing the “vagaries of poli-
tics.”
“I don’t make these ex-
pectations,” he said. “I think
she’s a good person. She’s
got a lot of experience.”
The governor hedged
when asked whether Biden
should make a bid for the
presidency.
“All I can say is, if I were
Hillary, I would say, ‘Don’t
jump in,’ ” Brown said. “If I
were Joe Biden, I’d probably
give it very serious consider-
ation.”
“Meet the Press” host
Chuck Todd introduced
the governor as someone
who “knows a thing or two
about running for president
himself.” Brown has run
three times, most recently
in 1992, when he faced off
with Bill Clinton in the pri-
mary.
Brown said — again —
that he wasn’t going to seek
the White House next year,
calling his current job “com-
pletely absorbing and chal-
lenging.”
“I’ve got a lot to do in Cali-
fornia,” he said. “We have got
fires that are burning, we
have this budget still to be
kept in check.”
Brown also responded to
criticism of drought policies
from Carly Fiorina, the for-
mer business executive who
ran unsuccessfully for U.S.
senator in California and is
now running for president as
a Republican.
“I’ve never heard of such
utter ignorance,” Brown
said. “Building a dam won’t
do a damn thing about
fires or climate change or
the absence of moisture
in the ground and vegeta-
tion.”
He added that Republi-
cans “better do eighth-grade
science before they make
any more utterances.”
“That’s a lot of insults,”
Fiorina said in response, re-
iterating that more reser-
voirs would help California
fight wildfires and with-
stand the drought.

Action on ‘right

He wanted to focus the

ning roughshod” and “clear-
ly abusive,” charged Califor-
nians Against Assisted
Suicide, a coalition of Cath-
olic, disability and oncolo-
gist groups.
Some disability activists
fear the bill could be used by
family members and insur-
ance companies to get rid of
burdensome and costly
patients.
Brown hasn’t taken a
position on the measure.
But, through a spokeswom-
‘We do a lot of
things at the end of a
session that some
may claim don’t get
enough sunlight, but
this one is going to
get a lot of sunlight.’
— Sen. Lois Wolk
(D-Davis)
an, he criticized the legisla-
tive corner-cutting.
“This important issue
merits careful consider-
ation,” said Deputy Press
Secretary Deborah Hoff-
man. “The process already
well underway with the
two-year bill … is more ap-
propriate than the special
session.”
The governor, I suspect,
just wants to keep the Legis-
lature focused on his agenda
and not distracted by some-
one else’s.
But for Brown to criticize
any legislative process
seems a bit self-righteous
and hypocritical. In the
past, out of public view, he
has orchestrated several
midnight, backroom, cor-
ner-cutting deals.
Just two examples: Shov-
ing his 2012 tax increase
initiative to the head of the
ballots’ proposition pack.

reserves last year to ap-
pease the teachers union
and free up more money for
collective bargaining.
At least the “right to die”
bill will need to undergo four
more public committee
hearings to pass. There
already have been four.
That’s what I call, to answer
the governor, “careful con-
sideration.”
“We do a lot of things at
the end of a session that
some may claim don’t get
enough sunlight, but this
one is going to get a lot of
sunlight,” says Sen. Lois
Wolk (D-Davis), one of the
principal sponsors.
Another chief sponsor,
Assemblywoman Susan
Eggman (D-Stockton),
asserts: “If it’s inconvenient
for the governor right now,
well, you know, people are
dying without options, and
they don’t have another
year to waste.”
A special session bill
generally becomes law 90
days after adjournment. In
this case, the effective date
probably would be in mid-
December. If the Legisla-
ture didn’t pass the bill until
next year in regular session,
it wouldn’t take effect until
Jan. 1, 2017.
There’s a group poised to
sponsor a 2016 ballot initia-
tive if the legislation fails.
“If I were the Catholic
Church I’d back off right
now,” says Sen. Bill Mon-
ning (D-Carmel), a major
co-author. He notes that an
initiative might not include
all the protections for Cath-
olic hospitals.
Monning adds: “Our goal
is not to change church
doctrine [but] religious
freedom doesn’t mean you
can force others to live by
your beliefs.”
The church isn’t likely to
back off.
Speaking to a Pro-Life
Leadership Conference
recently, Los Angeles Arch-
bishop Jose H. Gomez
hailed the church’s “tempo-
rary victory” over the bill
but warned of an ongoing
fight. “We need to acknowl-
edge,” he said, “that the
evils of abortion and eutha-
nasia exist … in a culture
that has become totally
secularized and de-Chris-
tianized.”
Well, here’s one Christian
who believes that people
should be allowed to die
peacefully and painlessly
while following their own
faith.
And legislators should be
— and are — free to set their
own rules for sausage-mak-
ing, assuming they follow
the state Constitution.

TEACHING Assistant Jonathan Poldberg listens as a bass drum player auditions for the USC marching band
this month. The band accepts students with no musical experience, but those not good enough will lug props.
Snaring a spot on drum line
[Marching band, from B1]
willing to learn and don’t
mind lugging props instead
of playing if they are deemed
not good enough to march
on Saturdays.
“We try and find a place
for everyone,” said Arthur C.
Bartner, who is going into
his 46th season as band di-
rector.
The only exception is the
drum line.
“You can get away with it
in other places, but you can’t
hide a bad drummer,”
Bartner said. “That’s the
pulse of a band. If that isn’t
tight, your band can’t be
tight.”
On game days, nearly 250
students decked out in car-
dinal and gold band uni-
forms perform the school’s
fight song after each touch-
down and execute intricate
choreography while playing
pop hits during halftime.
Combined, the practices
and performances, which
have included Super Bowls
and recording “Tusk” with
Fleetwood Mac, can be a
grueling experience.
Band members can get
one academic credit for the
minimum of about 10 hours
they put in each week during
the fall. Until recently, a vol-
unteer chiropractor helped
them deal with the strain
that carrying instruments
takes on their bodies.
And at least three times a
week, during long practices,
Bartner watches over them
from a platform, loudly cor-
recting the slightest mis-
step.
“Practice is more nerve-
racking than games. You
make a mistake in practice,
you get yelled at. You make a
mistake in a game, there’s no
time,” said Keldrick Nwajei,

a senior who plays the quad
drums.
But being in the band
also has its perks.
Select members travel to
all away games, and the en-
tire band goes when the Tro-
jans play Notre Dame in
South Bend, Ind., every
other year. The band has
traveled to Shanghai, Berlin
and Amsterdam, and has its
own full-time travel coordi-
nator as well as two student
managers who help with lo-
gistics.
The adrenaline of per-
forming is almost addictive,
many say.
Nwajei used to play in
front of 250 people at his
Houston high school. When
he was about to march onto
the field at the Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum for his
first USC home game, he
said, there was an ESPN
camera right in his face.
“That’s when I realized
I’m not in high school any-
more,” Nwajei said. “It was
scary, but it was awesome.”
The band’s camaraderie
can be a draw as well.
Natasha Fernando
played for her high school
band but didn’t try out when
she got to USC last year.
When she saw her friends
who were in the band, “They
always seemed to be having
so much fun,” she said.
So she auditioned this
year, hoping for a spot
playing bass drum. “I just
missed it,” she said. Still, she
has a spot in the band —
playing cymbals.
Drum line tryouts are
judged by Tad Carpenter,
the band’s percussion in-
structor, as well as student
leaders and graduate assist-
ants.

And then you start to hear
all the things you should’ve
practiced more,” said Jessie
Jimenez, a junior from Dela-
no, Calif., who said that dur-
ing his audition, he hit the
side of the drum a few times
instead of the center.
Jimenez got a spot on
cymbals as a freshman but
recently was assigned a bass
drum.
Ghabrial waited ner-
vously outside the audition
room until his name was
called. He had his sights set
on a snare drum position.
When it was his turn, he
banged out the notes flaw-
lessly. His audience barely
reacted.
But when Ghabrial left
the room, Carpenter and the
others turned to one anoth-
er. “He was good, right?”
someone asked, and Car-
penter started to laugh. “Oh,
yeah. He’s real good.”

He and the other potential

the USC Trojan Marching

“Don’t flex or squeeze
them,” one instructor said.
When the group reassem-

was still on snare.
“Congratulations, fresh-

Ghabrial reacted as if he
wasn’t sure what he’d just

stepped to the front. “Heels

he said, surveying the musi-

“OK,” he said. “Go ahead

TONY GLE ATON, 1948 - 2 015
Photographed black life in West
By Elaine Woo
I
n the late 1970s Tony
Gleaton was immersed
in the glossy world of
New York fashion pho-
tography, aspiring to
craft images for major maga-
zines. “I used to live and die
between the pages of British
Vogue,” he once recalled
with chagrin.
But around 1980, he
pitched his glamorous ca-
reer and hit the road, begin-
ning an odyssey that ex-
posed him to a different con-
ception of beauty and what
it meant to be black.
First he hitchhiked
through the West, photo-
graphing African American
rodeo riders and Native
American ranch hands.
Then, after hearing about a
century-old enclave of
blacks not far from Aca-
pulco, Mexico, he headed
south of the border, shock-
ing people when he — a light-
skinned African American
with green eyes — said he
was looking for “blacks like
me.”
In villages scattered
along Mexico’s coasts, he
found them — descendants
of African slaves brought to
Mexico by the Spanish —
and took their pictures.
His best-known images
formed “Africa’s Legacy in
Mexico,” a traveling Smith-
sonian exhibit that was
shown in galleries around
the country for a decade,
starting in the early 1990s.
He later captured the faces
of the African diaspora
across Latin America.
“He was the first to bring
to the public eye these living,
breathing communities,”
said Deborah Lynn Mack, an
associate director at the Na-
tional Museum of African
American History and Cul-
ture in Washington. “They
weren’t exotica. They were
like the cousins you didn’t
know you had.”
Gleaton, whose luminous
Schools fail to obituary notices
address trauma,
lawsuit alleges
[Compton, from B1]
sorted to sleeping on the roof
of the high school, the law-
suit said. After he was found
by school officials, they did
not offer him help, the law-
suit alleges.
The boy said he often
grew enraged, sometimes
believing a “demon” was in-
side him.
Another student, Kim-
berly Cervantes, 18, a senior
at Cesar Chavez Continua-
tion High School, stopped
attending classes for weeks
at a time after several trau-
matic episodes, including
being told by teachers that
her bisexuality was “wrong,”
the suit says.
Mark Rosenbaum, an at-
torney with Public Counsel,
the Los Angeles-based pro
bono firm that filed the law-
suit along with Irell & Ma-
nella LLP, urged the court to
force the district to immedi-
ately provide training.
“These students cannot
wait for deliberations,” he
said. “They are being
stopped at the schoolhouse
door. They come to school
not even knowing they suffer
from complex trauma but
then they are treated differ-
ently.... This is about equal
access to education.”
Attorneys representing
Compton Unified said the
district already trains teach-
ers in “trauma-sensitive
practices” and that the law-
suit infringes on the discre-
tion that district officials
have in training their own
teachers and staff.
In an interview, attorney
David Huff said the district
responds to students who
have a disability and works
to provide accommodations
and services on an individu-
al basis.
The lawsuit could label
all students at Compton
Unified schools as disabled
OBITUARIES
‘AN AFRICAN AMERICAN SHREK … GRUFF BUT LOVABLE’
Tony Gleaton exhibits his photographs of present-day descendants of African slaves brought to Mexico
in the 1500s by Spanish colonists at Loyola Marymount University in 2007.
black-and-white portraits
were notable for their sub-
jects’ dead-on stares, died
Aug. 14 in Palo Alto from oral
cancer, his wife, Lisa, said.
He was 67.
Six-foot-four and weigh-
ing more than 300 pounds,
Gleaton not only was physi-
cally imposing but also had a
cantankerous streak, quick
to quash anyone’s attempt
to define him or his work too
narrowly.
Married four times, he
was once described by a col-
league as “an African Ameri-
can Shrek … gruff but lov-
able.”
A regular paycheck was
simply because they live in
an area of socioeconomic
disadvantage, he said.
Huff said the school dis-
trict does not dispute that
each of the children in the
lawsuit has suffered trauma,
but that the plaintiffs have
not demonstrated that any
of them now have a physical
or mental impairment as a
result, Huff said.
“That’s what disability
means under the law,” he
said.
Rosenbaum said that
students who experience re-
peated violence and other
trauma are not as easily
identified as students with
other disabilities.
“If you see a child in a
wheelchair, you see immedi-
ately that you have to make
accommodations,” he said.
“With these children, you
can’t physically tell unless
you understand how trauma
operates in the brain.”
Rosenbaum said that
some students are stigma-
tized by school officials who
resort to punitive disciplin-
ary policies that further dis-
rupt their education. By pin-
ning the students’ troubles
on a lack of effort or interest,
school officials ignore the
debilitating effect that vio-
lence and other trauma has
on a student’s ability to
learn.
“They are in desperate
straits in terms of having
a meaningful education,”
Rosenbaum said. “It is a dis-
service to them to not recog-
nize their resilience.”
The judge said he will
probably issue a ruling on
the motions in coming
weeks, and urged both sides
to consider negotiating a
settlement.

survivor, “and he said, ‘OK,
I’m not interested in that
anymore.’ ”
His first major project
was a series of portraits shot
in Texas, Colorado, Nevada,
Idaho and Kansas that drew
attention to the contribu-
tions of nonwhite cowboys.
He organized an exhibition,
“Cowboys: Reconstructing
an American Myth,” that
traveled to galleries in sev-
eral Southwestern states.
When he went to Mexico,
he was discomfited by the re-
actions of black Mexicans,
who laughed at him for call-
ing himself black. “They look
at my skin and hair and eyes,
and they treat me as if I’m
mildly crazed,” he told the
Los Angeles Times in 1991.
But he won their trust,
which is evident in the por-
traits he took. Most of his
subjects — farmers and fish-
ermen, grandmothers and
children — are looking di-
rectly into the camera with
an ease and openness that
grab the eye.

tures were not just about

HOUSTON — At the var-

called for patience.
Clayton Kershaw wanted
to see something else Sun-

With the Dodgers swept
by the Houston Astros in a
three-game series and ex-

to a season-long five games,
Kershaw implored for a shift
in the team’s mentality.
“I hope we’re panicking a
little bit,” he said. “I think
panic’s a good thing, to a cer-
tain extent.”

Gyasi Zardes in the first half
and Giovani dos Santos, Se-
bastian Lletget and two
from Robbie Keane in the
second half.
Keane has 15 goals, 13 in
his last nine games. His goal
in the 81st minute made the
Galaxy the first MLS team
to reach 1,000 goals.
For Dos Santos, the goal
and an assist gave him two
goals and three assists in
three MLS games.
And for the Galaxy, the
five goals increased its MLS-
leading total to 49. Thirty-
three of those have come in
hausser and Todd Rogers
did it.
“It’s a dream come true
for me for sure, especially
against one of the most dom-
inant players that you’ve
ever seen play, Phil Dal-
hausser,” Schmidt said.
“We’re happy to see him back
on the tour, because he’s
really good for the sport. He
made our final even more
special.”
Dalhausser and Lucena
weren’t pleased with the offi-
ciating, particularly after
Dalhausser was called for
touching the net during the
decisive third set. Though he
was joking around while
speaking with reporters
afterward, Dalhausser also
made his opinion known.
“It’s my fault that it got to
me as much as it did, but I
did not touch the net,” Dal-
hausser said. “If we convert
on that play, it’s 10-7 instead
of 9-9. So it was a big momen-
tum shift, and it’s all because
of a stupid ref.”
The women’s gold medal
game featured second-seed-
ed Talita Antunes and Laris-
sa Franca against April Ross
and Kerri Walsh Jennings.
Antunes and Franca hadn’t
lost a set in the elimination
bracket going into the cham-
pionship, and that didn’t
change on Sunday, as they

the last 10 games, eight of
which the Galaxy won, push-
ing it atop the Western Con-
ference with the league’s
best record (13-7-7).
Since Dos Santos joined
the team this month, the
Galaxy has used the same
lineup in three consecutive
games for the first time this
year and it has won all three
by a combined 10-3.
“We’re building chemis-
try where we’re able to
understand where every-
one’s going to be,” Gonzalez
won 21-18, 21-16. The Ameri-
cans threatened to take con-
trol at various points, but the
Brazilians stayed poised and
calm, attacking Walsh Jen-
nings as she continues to re-
cover from a dislocated
shoulder.
“We got to see them at full
strength, and they didn’t get
to see us at full strength,”
Ross said. “I think we
learned a lot from that
match. I still think we
should’ve won, but there
were a couple things we did
that we’re going to fix for
next time.”
Walsh Jennings said the
right shoulder is her “best-
feeling body part” because
she “barely used it,” but she
won’t be swinging with her
right arm for the remainder
of the year as she rehabs. She
did, however, find some posi-
tives in playing with a limited
skill set.
“This whole situation has
brought us closer together,”
she said. “Communication is
tighter, we’re using all of our
resources, we’re leaning on
our coach, and we’re trusting
each other.”
Though she ended up
with the silver medal, Ross
was picked as the MVP of the
women’s bracket.
“It was very nice of them
to point it out, but I don’t
said. “And everything’s com-
ing a little bit natural.”
But the Galaxy isn’t the
only one who gained from
the victory. Arena, who
coached D.C. United in the
first game in MLS history 20
years ago, said games such
as Sunday’s are pushing the
league forward as well.
“This will eventually be-
come a norm in this league,
not only here, but in all the
venues around the league,”
Arena said of the environ-
ment surrounding the game.
Marcus Yam Los Angeles Times
really believe in MVP,” Ross
said. “It’s a two-person
sport. I think it’s one of the
hardest courts to play, and
you’ve got to have two people
playing at a high level to get
to the spot that we got to in
this tournament.”
“That being said, so well
deserved,” Walsh Jennings
added.
Ross and Walsh Jennings
have plenty of work left to do
to qualify for the 2016 Sum-
mer Olympics, but they
spoke confidently about
clinching a spot — and get-
ting a rematch against
Antunes and Franca.
“There’s always just more
on the table when we play
them,” Ross said of facing
Brazilian teams. “I think it’s
been like that even before the
Olympics got announced in
Rio. But yeah, the stakes are
big whenever we come up
against Brazil. We’re going to
for sure face them in Rio.”
In the bronze medal
games, Spain’s Adrian Gavi-
ra and Pablo Herrera beat
Alexander Brouwer and
Robert Meeuwsen of the
Netherlands, and Ger-
many’s Laura Ludwig and
Kira Walkenhorst defeated
Australia’s Louise Bawden
and Taliqua Clancy.

AROUND THE NFL
Nelson’s status
unknown after
he injures knee
associated press
Jordy Nelson caught the
ball, spun and prepared to
dart downfield.
Two steps later, Green
Bay’s Pro Bowl wide receiver
was on the turf in Pitts-
burgh, his left knee injured
and his season very much in
doubt. Although Nelson was
able to gingerly walk to the
sideline early in the first
quarter of Sunday’s 24-19 ex-
hibition loss to the Steelers,
it might be the last sign of
Nelson in his familiar No. 87
jersey this year.
While Packers Coach
Mike McCarthy stressed
the defending NFC North
champions “will look for
good news” when Nelson is
reevaluated in Green Bay on
Monday, quarterback
Aaron Rodgers’ expressed
equal parts frustration and
mystification.
“It’s difficult to lose a guy
like that in a meaningless
game,” Rodgers said.
It is a potentially devas-
tating blow for the Packers
and a dynamic playmaker
who set career highs in re-
ceptions (98) and yards re-
ceiving (1,519) in 2014.
“I’m not going to get into
the ‘What if ’ game,” Rodgers
said. “I don’t know what his
status will be. I’m just hop-
ing for the best.”
So are the Steelers after
Pro Bowl center Maurkice
Pouncey exited in the first
quarter because of a left an-
kle injury Coach Mike Tom-
lin said will likely require
surgery. Pouncey, who
missed all of 2013 after tear-
ing multiple ligaments in his
right knee in the opener
against Tennessee, is out in-
definitely.
“He got rolled up on but
he walked it off,” Steelers
right tackler Marcus Gil-
bert said. “I was hoping that
it wasn’t nothing too bad.
Once he got carted off, it
struck me.”

from his helmet, 303-pound

GOLF ROUNDUP
Love III gets first
tour win since ’08
associated press
Davis Love III’s long vic-
tory drought is over. Tiger
Woods will have to wait a
while to get another chance.
Love won the Wyndham
Championship on Sunday to
become the third-oldest
winner in PGA Tour history,
and Woods’ season came to
an abrupt end.
Love closed with a six-
under-par 64 for a one-
stroke victory over Jason
Gore.
“Any victory now is going
to be really sweet when
you’re over 50,” said Love,
whose last victory was in
2008.
The dominant story line
all week at Sedgefield Coun-
try Club in Greensboro, N.C.,
was the presence of Woods,
who needed a victory to earn
a spot in the FedEx Cup
playoffs opener next week.
He was poised to chal-
lenge Sunday, starting only
two strokes off the lead. But
he had only one birdie dur-
ing his first 10 holes, drop-
ping way off the pace with a
triple bogey on the par-four
11th.
Woods shot a 70, finished
four strokes behind and
ended at No.178 in the stand-
ings, well outside the cut-off
of 125.
At 51 years 4 months 10
days, Love trails only Sam
Snead and Art Wall on the
tour’s age list. Snead won
the last of his eight Greens-
boro titles at Sedgefield in
1965 at 52 years 10 months 8
days, and Wall took the 1975
Greater Milwaukee Open at
51 years 7 months 10 days.
Love finished at 17-under
263. Gore, the third-round
leader, shot a 69. Scott

star receiver Jordy Nel-
son may be sidelined for
the season.
Tennessee’s Marcus
Mariota turned in a clean
performance in his home de-
but, Titans cornerback Per-
rish Cox returned an inter-
ception 24 yards for a touch-
down and the Titans beat St.
Louis, 27-14, to spoil Rams
Coach Jeff Fisher’s return to
town.
Giants’ Jackson out
for the season
New York Giants starting
safety Bennett Jackson suf-
fered a major knee injury
against the Jacksonville Jag-
uars and will be lost for the
season, the latest injury that
has ravaged the team’s most
inexperienced position.
Free-agent safety Justin
Currie broke his right ankle
and fibula earlier in the
game Saturday night cover-
ing a kickoff, and Jackson
went down in the waning
minutes of the 22-12 victory,
playing because the team
didn’t have enough safeties.
Coach Tom Coughlin
said Jackson tore his anteri-
or cruciate ligament tack-
ling a tight end in front of the
Jaguars’ bench.
Etc.
Atlanta Falcons receiver
Roddy White will undergo a
minor surgical procedure on
his right elbow, though the
team expects him to be
ready for the Sept. 14 season
opener against Philadel-
phia. … Cleveland Browns
quarterback Johnny Man-
ziel cut his practice short af-
ter experiencing soreness in
his right elbow and could be
sidelined for a few days.

were two strokes behind
Love.

Southern Methodist sen-
ior Bryson DeChambeau
won the U.S. Amateur at
Olympia Fields, Ill., to be-
come the fifth player to win
the tournament and NCAA
individual title in the same
year.
DeChambeau, from Clo-
vis, Calif., beat Virginia jun-
ior Derek Bard 7 and 6 in the
36-hole final at Olympia
Fields.
Jack Nicklaus (1961), Phil
Mickelson (1990), Woods

to sweep the NCAA and Am-
ateur titles in a season.

ANGELS REPORT DODGERS REPORT

Shoemaker is
honing skills
By Zach Helfand
A year ago, Matt Shoe-
maker was making a push
for American League rookie
of the year, an award for
which he was the runner-up.
Now, Shoemaker is ma-
rooned at triple-A Salt Lake,
trying to fix a delivery that
hadn’t felt right from the be-
ginning of the season. In the
last two starts before the de-
motion, Shoemaker gave up
13 runs over 71⁄3 innings.
On Saturday, Shoemaker
pitched six innings for Salt
Lake, giving up two hits and
two walks, and striking out
five batters. He gave up
three unearned runs in the
sixth inning.
“The reports on him were
much better than anything
because of illness, Tropeano
was sent to Salt Lake to
make room on the roster for
infielder Grant Green.
“We’re not making any
announcement,” Scioscia
said. “There’s still a couple
things that we’re looking at.”
Giavotella returns
Giavotella was with the
Angels on Sunday, but, after
sitting out two games with
what he described as flu-like
symptoms, he remained too
weakened to play.
“It’s going to take me a
couple more days to get back
to feeling good again,” Gia-
votella said. “I’m just trying
to get my strength back up.”
Without Giavotella, typi-
cally the place setter at the
top of the order, Scioscia

HOUSTON — Less than
six weeks after starting for
the National League in the
All-Star game, Joc Pederson
is no longer the primary cen-

Kenley Jansen of the
Dodgers was reminded of
that over the last week.
When Jansen was called
on to preserve a 2-1 lead Sun-
day against the Astros, he
was seven days removed
from his last appearance.
Jansen failed to convert a
save opportunity for only the
second time this year, allow-
ing Houston to send the
game into extra innings.

“There needs to be a
sense of urgency, maybe
that’s better to say than
panic,” Kershaw said. “I feel
like we have to start playing
like that. Not to say we
haven’t, but it’s definitely
time to start thinking that
way.”
Kershaw lowered his
earned-run average to 2.29,
but the Dodgers are only 13-
12 when he starts.
The previous night, the
Dodgers lost a game started
by Zack Greinke.
“The way that we’re lined
up right now, when you have
two of the best pitchers in
baseball, you’ve got to take
advantage when they’re on
the mound,” catcher A.J.
Ellis said. “They both threw
amazing in this series. They
gave us more than enough of
an opportunity to win
games, and we didn’t take
advantage of it.”

him. Watching the game end
in defeat, Kershaw con-

game goes. We have to keep

Little could be said that

came the first Angels starter
in the past four games to
make it out of the fourth in-
ning. With a taxed bullpen,
Scioscia had little choice.
Richards endured five in-
nings, allowed nine runs,
seven earned, and gave up 10
hits.
The infield did little to
help. In the second inning,
the usually sure-handed Co-
wart was eaten up by a
ground ball at third base,
and two runs scored on the
play. Shortstop Erick Ay-
bar’s error let a run score in
the third inning.
In the fifth inning, left
fielder David Murphy seem-
ingly led off with an easy
double. He beat the throw
with plenty of time, but a re-
view of his slide showed his
foot popped off the base by
perhaps an inch. He was
called out. The budding rally
was nipped.
“We just didn’t do any-
thing the way we need to this
weekend,” Scioscia said.
Before the game, Scios-

He said he played on teams
where it felt like they
couldn’t lose.

ing to win a game. It’s just,
it’s overwhelming how poor

The lesson was, all rallies

UCLA REPORT
Defense plans to have a big presence
By Chris Foster
UCLA’s defensive players
have definite plans for this
season.
“We like our swag,” safety
Randall Goforth said.
Translation from safety
Jaleel Wadood: “We want
other teams to feel our pres-
ence.”
There was little doubt
that the defense put a drag
on UCLA’s season a year ago.
There were some big mo-
ments, like scoring three de-
fensive touchdowns in the
opener against Virginia or
holding Arizona to 255 yards
and seven points.
But too often, it was the
offense that had to cover for
the defense. The Bruins av-
eraged 33.5 points per game,
but allowed 28.1, ranking
them 75th among 125 Foot-
ball Bowl Subdivision teams.
This season, the roles
may be reversed.
Past mastery, but

The sentiment for USC,
though, is understandable.
No other school, frankly,
can be trusted with the
responsibility of getting the
job done. Picking USC is like
a golfer with the yips going
back to his old putter, or
California going back to
Jerry Brown.
The Trojan V-12 has been,
historically, a reliable engine
that doesn’t choke in cold
weather. Paging through

someone in the West can feel
to living in the SEC East.

in the way he represented
himself and the University at
our Salute To Troy event.
While the details of our con-
versation will remain be-

heard my message loud and
clear.”
USC concluded training
camp Saturday. The Tro-
jans, ranked eighth in the
preseason Associated Press
media poll and 10th in the
coaches’ poll, open the sea-
son Sept. 5 against Arkansas
State at the Coliseum.
The Trojans did not prac-
tice Sunday and will be off to-
day for the first day of fall se-
mester classes. They resume
practice Tuesday, when Sar-
kisian is expected to meet
with the media in a regular
post-practice session.
Sarkisian is a former USC
assistant who was head
coach at Washington for five
seasons before the Trojans
hired him to replace Lane
Kiffin. He guided the team to
a 9-4 record last season,
USC’s first since coming off
NCAA sanctions.
During the spring, USC
confirmed that Sarkisian

The Bruins have plenty of
tools they can use to build an
offense, but they lack an ex-

matter who the quarterback

Rosen or junior Jerry Neu-
heisel, there will be growing
pains.
The defense, meanwhile,
returns nine starters and
gets Goforth back. Goforth,
a starter in 2013, played only
two games last year before
needing surgery on both
shoulders.
There appears to be a

Since 1953, the other
schools in the Trojans’ con-
ference have combined for
exactly two national cham-
pionships, and only partial
ones at that (we don’t count
the title Colorado won be-
fore joining the Pac-12).
UCLA claimed the coach-
es’ share in 1954 and Wash-
ington won half a slice in
1991. USC, in that span, has
won seven national titles of
various poll sizes and colors.

Sarkisian summoned Ha-

“We have so much talent
and we have become a really
close group,” linebacker De-
on Hollins said. “I think
you’ll see a big difference this
year.”
One big difference is al-
ready apparent.
Tom Bradley, hired dur-
ing the winter as defensive
coordinator, brings a long re-
sume of success from his
years at Penn State.
The Bruins were more ag-
gressive during two weeks of
training camp than they
were during the 2014 season.
They use a variety of looks
and appear capable of creat-
ing pressure with their line-
backers.
That was one reason that
the quarterbacks, particu-
larly Rosen, labored at times
during camp.
Bradley, though, sprints
from taking any credit. It’s a

California, in 2007, was 10
yards from becoming No. 1 in
the country when its
quarterback failed to stop
the clock for a possible tying
field-goal against Oregon
State.
That moment was punc-
tuated with Cal coach Jeff
Tedford slamming his head-
set so hard into the Memori-
al Stadium turf it recorded a
2.1 on the campus Richter
scale.
Stanford was kept out of
the BCS title mix a few years
ago because it couldn’t gain
a couple yards against Utah
in Salt Lake City.
Oregon has won several
uniform competitions but
never worn a No. 1 jersey at
season’s end. The Ducks did
finish No. 2 in both polls in
2001, and lost title games
following the 2010 and 2014
seasons.
UCLA needed one tackle
against Miami to play for the
first BCS title game of 1998
— but couldn’t make it.
In essence, what the
media is saying is: USC, it’s
up to you.
Oregon and UCLA might
have more talent, but no
school has more pride, his-
tory and know-how.

Two things the Bruins

the type of speed needed to
counter the up-tempo of-

THERE’S NOTHING quite like a returning star at quarterback to boost a team’s

This is no time, at USC,
to be singing Kris Kristof-

Sarkisian’s edited and
approved mea culpa came
moments before the Trojans
debuted at No. 8 in the Asso-

This stuff is raw meat to
USC fans already critical of
the Sarkisian hire. The last
thing Athletic Director Pat
Haden wanted to do Sunday
was issue a statement end-
ing with “I am confident he
heard my message loud and

The Trojans are not yet
back to the full allotment of
85 scholarships, but are
close enough to be worthy of
top-10 consideration. They

Marcus Mariota (and oth-

with only five interceptions.

[Plaschke, from D1]
here isn’t the curse word
that Sarkisian used on stage
— audible in a brief video clip
— or that he apparently
ripped several other schools
by saying, “They all suck.”
This sort of trash talking is
easily forgiven when it
comes from excited coaches
during pep-rally style
events; just ask UCLA’s Jim
Mora.
The biggest issue is that
Sarkisian made these state-
ments while apparently
impaired, even though this
was one night when he abso-
lutely had to know he would
need his wits about him. The
judgment here wasn’t just
lacking, it was nonexistent,
which should scare USC into
wondering whether this
issue could run far deeper
than one night and a couple
of cocktails.
“I met with Coach Sarki-
sian and I expressed my
disappointment,” Haden
said in a statement. “While
details of our conversation
will remain between us, I’m
confident he heard my mes-
sage loud and clear.”
The only message that
rang loud and clear through
the sports world Sunday was
that USC might have a seri-
ous problem with its head
football coach that might
require more than a wrist
slap. This would not be only
for the Trojans’ benefit, but
The defense part requires
ongoing tinkering.
“We have cut things out,
we have added things,”
Bradley said. “We have tried
to figure out what’s the right
mix for the guys we have. You
have to have enough things
to keep people off-balance.
Sometimes, as coach, you
tend to have that one more
thing in your pocket, ‘Ah we
need this,’ but then you nev-
er use it. You have to disci-
pline yourself to say, ‘OK,
this is what we’re doing,
that’s it.’ ”

booster, but his own boost-
ers, at an event far bigger in
USC’s world than a basket-
ball tournament, and yet he
is penalized with only a
lecture? Hmmm. Maybe,
with only two weeks remain-
ing until the start of football
season, this is who the Tro-
jans are now.
Twenty years ago, anoth-
er power-conference football
coach had an off-season,
alcohol-related incident in
public, this one leading to an
arrest at a bar. Despite a
44-13-3 record at Michigan,
Gary Moeller was quickly
forced to resign.
There are many direc-
tions USC can take here,
actions that could not only
restore faith in the pro-
gram’s leadership, but also
show care and support for
Sarkisian. No matter what
happens next, it feels like
something should happen
next. If nothing substantive
comes from Saturday’s
humiliating moment, then
the Salute to Troy was noth-
ing but Shame on Troy.

Bolt edges Gatlin
in 100-meter final
staff and wire reports
Usain Bolt ended two years of un-
certainty with one of his finest clutch
performances Sunday, beating Jus-
tin Gatlin with a lunge at the line in
the 100-meter final at track and field’s
world championships in Beijing.
Bolt was trailing for almost the en-
tire race in the biggest showdown in
the sport in years. But the two-time
Olympic champion rallied and made
his giant stride count to win in 9.79
seconds — .01 faster than the Ameri-
can. “A lot of people counted me out,”
Bolt said. “So for me to come and win,
this is a big deal.”
Trayvon Bromell of the U.S. and
Andre De Grasse of Canada and USC
were in a dead heat for third in 9.911.
TENNIS
Federer beats Djokovic
Roger Federer remained perfect
in Cincinnati finals, winning an un-
precedented seventh championship
while denying Novak Djokovic the
one significant title to elude him. Fe-
derer’s 7-6 (1), 6-3 victory in the
Western & Southern Open at Mason,
Ohio, left Djokovic 0-5 in finals at the
only top-level ATP Masters tourna-
ment he has never won. No player has
won all nine Masters events.
Serena Williams beat Simona
Halep, 6-3, 7-6 (5), in the women’s fi-
nal at the Western & Southern Open,
giving her back-to-back Cincinnati ti-
tles. She heads to the U.S. Open in
New York trying to become the first
player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to pull
off a calendar-year Grand Slam.
Jimmy Evert, a highly regarded
Ford Lauderdale, Fla., tennis instruc-
tor whose students included his Hall
of Fame daughter Chris Evert, died
at age 91 of undisclosed causes. Evert
also worked with Jennifer Capriati,
who went on to the No. 1 ranking.

THE DAY IN SPORTS
when he was hit by a large piece of de-
bris that broke off Sage Karam’s car
at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa.
The accident occurred with seven
laps left in a race eventually won by
Ryan Hunter-Reay.
Lewis Hamilton won the Belgian
Grand Prix, holding off Mercedes
teammate Nico Rosberg and pad-
ding his lead in the Formula One
standings. Hamilton’s sixth win in 11
races this season also was his 80th ca-
reer podium finish, tying the late Ayr-
ton Senna for fourth all time.
Richie Crampton won his fourth
top fuel title of the season at the Lu-
cas Oil NHRA Nationals in Brainerd,
Minn. Robert Hight won in funny car,
Erica Enders in pro stock and Eddie
Krawiec in pro stock motorcycle.
ETC.
Kings to sign Ehrhoff
Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff
agreed to a one-year contract with
the Kings, a potential boost for a de-
fense corps depleted by Robyn Re-
gehr’s retirement, Andrej Sekera’s
free-agent departure to Edmonton
and Slava Voynov’s suspension. Ehr-
hoff, 33 and an 11-year veteran, had 14
points in 49 games for Pittsburgh last
season but missed the final 33 games
and the playoffs because of injuries.
Jantel Lavender scored 22 points,
Candace Parker had 20 and the
Sparks rolled to a 90-59 win at San
Antonio. The Sparks (10-17) padded
their lead over Seattle (7-20) and the
Stars (7-21) for the final playoff spot in
the WNBA’s Western Conference.
The Lakers promoted Ryan West
from assistant director of scouting to
director of player personnel. West, 35,
is the son of Lakers great Jerry West.
— Eric Pincus
Triple Crown winner American
Pharoah’s next race will be the
11⁄4-mile Travers Stakes on Saturday
at Saratoga in New York, owner Ah-
med Zayat announced at Del Mar.
Pearland, Texas, beat Bonita,
Calif., 8-4, at the Little League World

POP WEEKEND THE PLAYER

Blind,
yet her
vision
grows
In ‘Beyond Eyes,’
a girl’s search turns
into a journey of
discovery.
By Todd Martens

Here’s a premise for a

plot that’s sure to bring out
the tears: A blind girl can’t
find her best friend, a neigh-
boring cat. If “Beyond Eyes”
were a movie, it would come
with a giant red warning
light: Here be sadness.
Thankfully, it’s a video
game.
That’s not to say “Beyond
Eyes” doesn’t tug on the
heartstrings — it absolutely
does — but the uniqueness
of the interactive medium al-
lows for a potentially sad ex-
perience to turn into a jour-
ney of discovery.
That’s because the rela-
tionship between player and
controller can temper the
heightened emotions of los-
ing a pet. The act of moving a
joystick, even in a nonde-
manding game such as “Be-
yond Eyes,” immediately
gives the player a task that
Brian van der Brug Los Angeles Times
must be completed.
BEGINNING what she calls her “Los Angeles residency,” Taylor Swift performs with dancers Friday night at Staples Center. The cat must be found.
We have an objective, and we

Taylor Swift builds on her bond with fans at a pop spectacle

BY MIKAEL WOOD >>> Memorable images flashed across
the Staples Center stage when Taylor Swift played the first
of five concerts at the downtown arena.
There was the golf club she swung over her shoulder in
“Blank Space.” There were her 12 male dancers in matching
purple short suits. And there was Kobe Bryant of the Lakers
pointing to a banner that recognized Swift for selling out
more shows at Staples than any other performer: 16 by Bry-
ant’s count, including those that will keep the singer there
through Wednesday.
Yet no visual said more about Swift — or her place in the
pop cosmos — than the enormous eye that filled the video
Was Stay,” a song from Swift’s blockbuster album “1989.”
The eye evoked Big Brother, of course, an appropriate asso-
ciation for a 25-year-old megastar with enough power that

royalties.
But it also put across the notion that Swift is watching
her audience nearly as closely as it’s watching her, a clever
disruption of the power dynamic that typically exists be-
tween leader and disciple.
Before “All You Had to Do Was Stay,” the singer delivered
a lengthy monologue — a version of a stump speech she’s

Q&A

Taboos and punk rock ‘Grandma’

Paul Weitz discusses
directing Lily Tomlin,
the film’s abortion
story line and more.
By Rebecca Keegan

Paul Weitz wrote and di-

rected “Grandma,” a road
comedy in which Lily Tomlin
plays a 70-year-old poet
helping her granddaughter
raise the money for an abor-
tion. Weitz, who also di-
rected “In Good Company”
and “Admission” as well as
“American Pie” and “About a
Boy” with his brother, Chris
Weitz, spoke with The Times
about tackling taboos and
casting a punk rock septua-
genarian.

It’s pretty provocative to

make a movie where an
abortion is the main goal of
your protagonists. Where
did you get the idea to do
that?
I wasn’t intending on
making an issue movie nor a
polemic. It’s very much a
movie about how this sev-
entysomething character
played by Lily is teaching
this 18-year-old how to
stand up for herself and how
to give hell to people who
are mistreating her. In
terms of abortion, this is
gonna sound possibly naive,
but that was the situation
the 18-year-old character
was in when she showed up
at the door of her grand-
mother. She was pregnant
and trying to figure out
what to do about it.
If we go back to a movie
like “Fast Times at Ridge-
mont High,” which is now
just looked at as a commer-
cial comedy that was the
birth of Spicoli, Jennifer
Jason Leigh’s character is
contending with a similar
thing in the movie. I wonder
at the time that that movie
came out how that aspect of
it was thought of and what
that says about how things
have progressed or not.
Are you saying you think
people have gotten more
reactive to the issue of
abortion than they were
when “Fast Times” came
out [1982]?
Quite possibly. Lily’s
character, and Lily herself,
is a trailblazer in terms of
being a feminist. Her daugh-
ter, Marcia Gay Harden, is a
corporate lawyer who’s been
succeeding in a male-domi-
nated world. But now this
granddaughter [Julia Gar-
ner] at the age of 18 is strug-
gling with her identity. In
exploring these three gen-
erations of women, one
could talk about taking for
granted a certain amount of
history.
It’s also a pretty bold idea
to have a seventysometh-
ing woman as your protag-
onist. Why did you create a
lead in that demographic?
I had hung out with Lily
when she played Tina Fey’s
mother in “Admission.”
Seeing how funny and edgy
and insightful she was, I
knew this was somebody
who should be the lead in a
“I WASN’T intending on making an issue movie nor a polemic,” writer-director Paul Weitz says of “Grandma” and its abortion story line.
“SEEING how ... insightful she was, I knew this was somebody who should be the
lead in a movie,” Weitz says of Lily Tomlin, left, with Julia Garner in “Grandma.”
movie. It’s so rare that
somebody that age is driv-
ing a film. I was really ex-
cited by this idea that peo-
ple in their 70s have actually
lived through the ’60s, an
era of social foment, and if
you look at that and at what
18-year-olds are going
through now when the
cultural revolution seems to
have to do with the Internet
and technology more than
anything else, I thought
that was really interesting.
I liked the idea that, by
the nature of her experience
and her personality, this
70-year-old was more punk
rock and more progressive
than her grandkid. Also I
was very keen to do a movie
with a 70-year-old where
there was no deathbed
scene for that character.
One of the things I said to
Lily was, “This is a com-
pletely vibrant person who
has a lot of life and is driving
this movie.”
Tomlin drives her own car
in the movie and wears her
own clothes. So how much
of the real Tomlin are we
seeing up on-screen?
It is probably closer to
what it’s like hanging out
with her than anything she’s
done. She’s not a comedian
who tries out her material
on you. Lily is just insightful

that smart and accurate.
they have to have some
degree of misanthropy, but
at the same time are loving
toward people. That’s really
exciting to me.
There’s an undercurrent of
anger to Tomlin’s charac-
ter. Where does that come
from?
It was some perception I
have in terms of what that
character has gone through,
as a feminist, as someone
who had brought up Marcia
Gay Harden’s character
with another woman, and as
a grandmother. She’s also in
the movie getting over the
loss of a long-term love. I
looked at Lily’s marvelous
and creative relationship
with her partner, Jane Wag-
ner. I looked at that rela-
tionship and thought,
“Wow. What if that deep and
layered a love had ended for
somebody? How on earth
would they get past their
grief for that?”
You’ve worked at a variety
of different budget points
for your films. Do you have
a preferred range to work
in?
I’m perversely inspired
by very low-budget inde-
pendent film and also Holly-
wood studio films of the ’30s,
’40s and ’50s. Weirdly, now,
to do that type of intelligent
comedy, you had better be
OK with doing things at
different budget ranges. I
worked with people who are
used to doing movies at this
scale. I’ve also learned what
I don’t need, so I don’t have
to waste any time on set. I
think a certain level of
budget gets in the way of the
acting. Getting a great
performance has nothing to
do with what size your trail-
er is.
For most people, money
problems are among the
biggest issues in their lives,
but it’s rare to see on-
screen. In your film, you’re
taking on the cost of
healthcare, credit card
debt. Why did you make
Carolyn Cole Los Angeles Times
your characters two broke
people?
That was the obstacle in
creating the plot. I also
thought it was realistic. One
forgets how normal it is to
not have any money. It’s sort
of the taboo. There’s a movie
called “The Seventh Conti-
nent” by Michael Haneke,
which has these people
cutting up cash. He said
that when that screened,
people were gasping at that,
not at the very violent
scenes in the movie.
You and your brother,
filmmaker Chris Weitz, are
adapting the Japanese film
“Like Father, Like Son,”
for Steven Spielberg to
direct. What can you tell
me about it?
We’re transposing it to
America. It’s a beautiful film
about two families whose
children have been switched
at birth. We’re hoping to do
the not-soap-opera version
of that.
How does it work when you
collaborate with your
brother? Is there a short-
hand?
We talk about the outline
so we know what we’re
doing, and then we swap
five- or six-page sequences
and hope the other guy likes
it. One tries not to have the
shorthand be rolling your
eyes.

“Straight Outta Comp-

the second weekend in a row
and crossed $100 million do-
mestically after just nine
days in release.
Although the biopic
about rap group N.W.A fell
56% from its opening week-
end, it added an estimated
nearly $27 million, bringing
its haul in the U.S. and Cana-
da to $111.5 million. If esti-

Compton” also will help to
give Universal Pictures, co-
producer and distributor of
the film, its 13th weekend
atop the domestic box office,
following the success of “Ju-
rassic World” and “Minions.”
More modest debuts of
three films did little to boost
the overall box office. Week-

Competition in clergy

sor nipping at his heels. This
scenario has launched plots
from “Paradise Lost” to
“The Late Shift.”
David Rambo’s 1999 play
“God’s Man in Texas,” now
at the Blank Theatre under
the direction of the writer,
sets the age-old power strug-
gle in a church.
But not just any church:
The (fictional) Rock Baptist
Church in Houston is more
like a three-ring circus. The
sermons of its charismatic
pastor, Dr. Philip Gottschall
(Ted Heyck), are televised.
U.S. presidents — except Bill
Clinton, who “would not be
well received” — regularly
worship here. Under Gott-
schall’s reign, the Rock has
expanded to include a gym-
nasium, two swimming
pools and a university.
Or so we are told. All we
see is the pulpit and a green
room where the pastor takes
tea between shows (a mod-
est set by Chad Dellinger).
Here we meet Dr. Jeremiah
Mears (Brian Letscher), in-
vited from his less flashy
church in San Antonio to
give a series of sermons.

AROUND THE
GALLERIES
Meeting
truths
head-on
By Leah Ollman
Anyone needing a re-
minder that photography in
the 21st century is not a
monolithic medium but con-
ceptually and practically
more of an immense gossa-
mer umbrella should pay a
visit to the Little Big Man
Gallery.
There are few common
denominators among the 22
artists represented in the
current group show except
their use of lens-based im-
agery of some sort, either
made or scavenged.
The show’s title, “a lie
about a lie; a truth about
The truth,” comes from a
film, which is screening in
the gallery, that features
many of the same photogra-
phers seen here, who come
Returning home with
newfound curiosity
[‘Beyond Eyes,’ from E1]
caught in a downpour.
More than that, we can’t
see much of anything in “Be-
yond Eyes.”
“Beyond Eyes” is an Xbox
One and PC game that can
be viewed as a narrative ex-
periment, and it’s one that
conveys a feeling of sight-
lessness. All the panic, the
frustrations and even the
magic of stepping into the
unknown are present. For
“Beyond Eyes” sets the play-
er loose in a world that’s glar-
ingly bright — a white can-
vas that’s empty until one
starts moving a tentative
young girl into the vast un-
known.
In this story, noises
rather than images conjure
all sorts of horrors. The rush
of a freeway, the whir of a
lawn mower, the footsteps of
a stranger — these are all
noises that are familiar to us
but unknown to Rae, the
game’s lonely, rain-boot-
sporting protagonist. What
the game shows us is what
Rae envisions, not the world
MISMATCHED body parts are the focus of Asger
Carlsen’s “Untitled,” 2011, at Little Big Man Gallery.
from the U.S., Britain, Ja-
pan, Germany, India, Den-
mark, Thailand, Canada,
South Korea and Sweden.
By default, photography
registers a simultaneous
nearness to and distance
from truth, and more of the
artists here assume that
condition than overtly ad-
dress it.

around her.
Rae once could see. An
accident rendered her blind,
and therefore she has a
sense of her surroundings,
but it’s an obscured one.
Thus, “Beyond Eyes” is
able to toy with our own per-
ception as well. We, for in-
stance, hear a splash of wa-
ter and the game draws us a
fountain, an image that’s
recognizable to Rae. Take a
few steps closer, however,
and the water fountain turns
out to be a sewer. This hap-

circles, but I’m not so sure I
could have enjoyed it in any
format other than a game.
Whether it’s “Wendy and
Lucy” or “Harry and Tonto,”
cinema has trained me to
avoid sad pet movies, and a
book would simply allow me
to get too inside my own
head (days and nights forc-
ing my cat to sit still and cud-
dle would ensue).
“Beyond Eyes,” however,
felt engaging.
That we are seeing the
world as Rae sees it in her
head turns out to be a rather
clever twist. She thinks, for

roles enacted in Cindy Sher-
man’s self-starring Film
Stills of the late ’70s is the
work of Bunny Yeager.
The cover of her 1964
book, “How I Photograph
Myself,” shows Yeager in a
red-hot leotard, perched al-
luringly on a tall stool. One
rhinestone sandal has been
kicked off so she can ma-
nipulate the shutter release
of the tripod-mounted cam-
era beside her with her toe.
The picture is — as she her-
self described her work —
“clean, wholesome cheese-
cake.” And Yeager is both
baker and baked.
A marketing marvel, a
cultural curiosity, Yeager
(1929-2014) was a woman
who took control of her own
objectification — not, it
seems, to rebel against it but
to revel in it and profit from
it.
After winning a spate of
beauty contests, she learned
the art and craft of photo-
graphing glamour girls like
herself. One of her pictures
from a 1954 photo shoot with
Bettie Page became a Play-
boy centerfold, launching
her career behind the cam-
era.
A sampling of pictures of
Page and others is included
in Yeager’s fascinating show
at Gavlak, anchored by a
instance, she’s stumbling
over a tree branch, and in re-
ality it’s a rather handy um-
brella.
In turn, a lost cat inspires
a lonely girl to venture out-
side of her comfort zone, and
though dogs and birds may
scare her along the way, she
returns home with a sense of
wonder and a newfound cu-
riosity for the world.
Game players and game
makers like to play up the
notion that their medium
lacks the passivity of others.
In films or books, something
is watched or read, but in a
large selection of her self-
portraits. She presents her-
self as sexy and fresh, a play-
ful, quintessentially mid-
century package of inno-
cence and experience.
In the most intriguing
and distinctive of the pic-
tures, she also comes across
as highly competent: both
performer and director, she
poses before a mirror and a
camera, or sits at the type-
writer. Yeager published 30
instructional photo books,
many of which can be leafed
through at the gallery.
They’re as interesting as
the photographs for what
they reveal about Yeager’s
perspective on her work and
the many perceptual
chasms (regarding glamour,
sexuality and more) be-
tween then and now.
Her concern, for in-
stance, that she might be
looked upon “as rather pecu-
liar and quite possibly con-
ceited” for making pictures
of herself rings rather quaint
in this selfie-saturated mo-
ment.

There’s truth in that, but it’s

their online communication

mounted a moving platform
that brought her (almost)
within touching distance of
the crowd, perfect for sing-
ing her song “All Too Well” as
“a duet with you,” she said.
Swift has worked hard to
effect this kind of commun-
ion — to provide a taste of
what it’s like inside her life —
since the beginning, back
when she was a teenage
country singer writing about
feeling like an outsider in
language that made her lis-
teners feel like insiders.
And she still does: In
spite of the glossy, synthed-

back to FYF’s beginnings.
FYF started a decade ago
as a punk rock festival, and
no figure in music better
represents the ethos of do-
ing what you want, whenev-
er you want, than West. His
recent material has been in-
formed by noise and avant-

which abounded at FYF.
The excitement he

an unnamed beau that re-
quired “20 stitches in a hos-

music makes you think you
understand Taylor Swift.
But in Friday’s gig — the
kickoff to her “Los Angeles
residency,” as she put it —
Swift went further, spending
a considerable amount of
time telling her fans that she
understands them. Non-
sense? Perhaps. But she
sells the idea, one made only
more potent by this produc-
