Palm Springs has become the latest city in South-

ern California to become a sanctuary city.
Council members voted 4-1 Wednesday evening to
approve a resolution proclaiming the city a sanctuary
city. Mayor Robert Moon voted no.
“This doesn’t change anything in our existing law,”
Mayor Pro Tem Geoff Kors said.
The resolution, Kors said, makes it easier for peo-
ple to understand what the city’s policies are and to
use the words “sanctuary city.”
Moon talked about the city not having a jail and
that anyone taken into custody is often transferred to
Indio.
“I don’t think it’s really necessary to designate
ourselves as a sanctuary city,” he said.

Green New Deal focuses on climate change

Elizabeth Weise
USA TODAY
and Ledyard King
THE NEWS-PRESS Washington bureau
USA TODAY NETWORK
The Earth is facing a climate change
deadline, with a looming tipping point
into a dramatically changed, less hospi-
table planet – and Democratic lawmak-
ers are beginning what’s likely to be a
long discussion over how best to deal
with it.
These first attempts
have coalesced under the
umbrella phrase a Green
New Deal championed by
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen.
Edward Markey, D-Mass.
Alexandria They introduced a res-
Ocasio- olution Thursday calling
Cortez for a dramatic increase in
the generation of renew-
able fuels, such as wind,
solar and hydropower
sources, and a shift with-
in 10 yearsto energy sys-
tems that are “net-zero”
when it comes to green-
Ed Markey houses gases that are the
primary contributor to
climate change.
The resolution does not call for a full
phase-out of fossil fuels, a plank that
some environmental advocates had
hoped to see. Instead, it pushes for a
transition that is rapid but “fair and just
to all communities and workers.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who first outlined her
environmental plan in December, has
enlisted the help of Sen. Ed Markey, D-
Mass., who led House efforts on climate
change a decade ago.
The resolution is short on details but
long on vision for a cleaner environment
that promotes jobs and social justice. It
also calls for higher education and job
guarantees for all U.S. citizens. Some
Republicans have panned the effort as
another arrow in the left’s quiver of rad-
ical ideas that are unrealistic and pro-
hibitively expensive.
Here’s an explanation of the Green
New Deal and how likely it is to pass in
Congress.
Question:How did the Green New
Deal get its name?
Answer: The phrase itself goes back
to 2007, when columnist Thomas
Friedman wrote a piece in The New York
Timescalling for a Green New Deal along
the lines of President Franklin Roose-
velt’s New Deal during the Depression.
Friedman envisioned the government
backing basic research and setting stan-
dards, providing loans and using taxes
and incentives to remake the U.S. econ-
omy.
The phrase later was taken up by
Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who
used it as part of her presidential plat-
forms when she ran in 2012 and 2016.
Q: So that was 12 years ago. What’s
happening now?
A: A news conference on Capitol Hill
on Thursday afternoon unveiling the
Green New Deal will be the first step.
Liberal lawmakers led by Ocasio-Cortez
also are pushing for the creation of a
new committee in Congress to imple-
ment a Green New Deal.
Q: So what’s in it?
A: The crux is a broad mandate of
meeting “100 percent of the power de-
mand in the United States through
clean, renewable, and zero-emission
energy sources.”
Getting there depends on an ambi-
tious agenda: drastically reduce carbon
emissions over the next decade by
spending on green infrastructure that
protects the planet while ensuring jus-
tice and equity for all communities.
It calls for the federal government to
promote and spend on sustainable
farming practices, more training for
clean energy sector jobs, cleaner trans-
portation systems such as high-speed
rail, and spending on technology that
will reduce humans’ carbon footprint.
Q:Can we really move to 100 per-
cent renewable energy in a decade?
A: That’s practically impossible, ex-
perts say, especially if nuclear power –
which isn’t mentioned in the plan and
Green New Deal supporters oppose –
isn’t in the mix. For comparison’s sake,
renewable sources (hydropower, wind
and solar mainly) made up 18 percent of
the U.S. energy supply, double what
they did a decade ago, according to the
U.S. Energy Information Administra-
tion.
That share is projected to rise to 31
percent by 2050 if current trends hold
up.
Q: Is the Ocasio-Cortez plan what
the Democrats will end up doing?
An enormous didn’t have the technology. But we do,”

Coachella Valley
Indio unanimously approves
behavioral health center
Council rejects decision
by Planning Commission
Ricardo Lopez
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Indio City Council members on
Wednesday unanimously approved a
new 80-bed mental health facility near
John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital,
overruling a Planning Commission de-
nial prompted by resident objections.
The vote caps a nearly year-long
process by Tennessee-based Acadia
Healthcare to develop a 7.71-acre vacant
lot south of Dr. Carreon Boulevard. Aca-
dia overcame a previous denial by the
Indio Planning Commission last fall,
which voted 3-1 against the project’s lo-
cation, citing opposition by neighbors.
Wednesday’s council chambers
were standing room-only most of the
evening, as scores of residents ap-
peared to urge council members to re-
jected the proposed site, citing fears of
potential disturbances by mental
health patients in crisis.
Supporters, some sharing personal
anecdotes, said a facility like this one
could provide life-saving care.
The vote disappointed opponents,
but council members nonetheless
praised their activism and said their
unanimous vote reflected the dire need
for mental health care.
“Recognizing the need in our com-
munity, not only as a council, but as
community members, (we) overcame
the objections that we heard,” Indio
Mayor Lupe Ramos Amith said after the
meeting. “It’s about the people who live
with us, next to us and in our city that
need these services... Being able to
meet that need is one step closer to hav-

ing a healthier community.”
Acadia Healthcare division presi-
dent Rob Marsh said he was looking for-
ward to moving ahead with the devel-
opment.
“We think it’s going to provide a tre-
mendous resource to the community,”
Marsh said. “It’s very clear that it’s an
underserved community and there are
people in crisis even today. We feel this
is a step in the right direction to help
bring services to the community.”
Acadia Healthcare representatives,
including Marsh and Saad Niazi, chief
executive of the Acadia-run Pacific
Grove Hospital in Riverside, outlined
security and discharge procedures.
During their presentation, they said
they had heeded residents’ security
concerns by adding two additional se-
curity upgrades.
Part of the approval by the city coun-
cil calls for a community advisory coun-
cil that will evaluate the center’s ongo-
ing operations.
Marsh said the Indio facility would

Palm Springs could soon hold city
elections in even-numbered years.
On Wednesday evening, the city
council unanimously expressed sup-
port for a plan to reduce the terms of
council members Christy Holstege and
Lisa Middleton, both elected in 2017, to
three-year terms ending in 2020.
Doing so will allow elections in Dis-
tricts 4 and 5 to be held in November
2020, according to the city.
If the plan is ultimately approved,
council members elected in Districts 1,
2 and 3 this November will also have
their terms shortened to three years,
allowing those seats to be up for grabs
in 2022, according to the city.
City Attorney Ed Kotkin said at the
meeting that a formal action will be
brought back to the council for approv-
al at a later date.
The discussion comes several
months after council approved a plan
that did away with at-large elections in
favor of district elections.
During Wednesday night’s busy,
marathon meeting, the council also
voted 4-1 to adopt sanctuary city sta-
tus and unanimously approved a de-
velopment agreement with Communi-
ty Housing Opportunities Corporation
for an affordable housing
development.
Council did, however, postpone one
agenda item — a discussion on a Cali-

members give themselves raises. The

item will be heard at the next council
meeting.
The working group suggests Palm
Springs City Council members approve
a measure that would give themselves a
salary boost of as much as 80 percent,
which would mean each member would
earn as much as $52,500 annually.
Boosting council pay was one of more
the group.
Other suggestions included possibly
providing a car stipend or allowance for
council members, hosting forums that
instruct residents how to run for office
and reimbursing council members for
childcare expenses while they’re con-
ducting city business.
Council members earn about
$29,000 annually, while the mayor re-
ceives roughly $15,000 more per year,
according to the city.
It’s not the first time these recom-
mendations were made public, as the
council held a study session on the
group’s suggestions in September 2018.
The group was established in April
2018 and tasked with looking at the
goals of the California Voting Rights Act.
It was also assigned the job of examin-
ing the city’s government structure and
recommending potential improve-
ments, according to the city.
Salary increases have been discuss-
ed by other cities.
In September 2018, the Coachella
City Council discussed increasing its
members’ monthly salaries by nearly 50
percent, from roughly $475 per month
to about $710.
Indio also addressed compensation
in 2016 when the council approved a pay
boost. Monthly salaries increased by
about $100 to $1,060.

A passenger was aboard a small air-

Morongo Valley on Tuesday night, an
official said.
Authorities initially said the pilot
was the only person onboard the Cess-
na 172, which crashed Tuesday night
northwest of Highway 62. Ian Gregor, a
spokesman for the Federal Aviation

in the wreckage.
The victims' names haven't been re-

The plane departed San Gabriel Val-

Youngest Slain teen had just 19-year-old’s

victim had
‘a big heart’
Amy DiPierro
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Family members and friends are
commemorating the life of Yuliana
"Yulie" Garcia, the youngest of four
victims of a Sunday night shooting in
Palm Springs, remembering her sense
of humor and expressing disbelief at
her unexpected death.
Garcia, 17, was one of three teen-
agers found shot in a Toyota Corolla
about 11:40 p.m. Sunday on Sunny
Dunes Road at El Placer.
A fundraising campaign for Garcia
had raised more than half of a $1,000
goal as of Thursday afternoon. Sup-
porters are also raising
money to cover Garcia's
funeral expenses in a
car wash at Joe's Tire
Shop in Cathedral City
on Saturday and Sun-
day.
Yuliana Garcia's cousin, Cha-
Garcia velita Morales, said
Garcia "was very outgo-
ing" and quick to crack up her friends
with jokes.
"She was a kind person with a big
heart. She loved her family. She liked
to have fun,” Morales said. "Each time
we spent together it was good. There
was never a dull moment."
Garcia lived in Thousand Palms
with her mother and two older broth-
ers, Morales said, but attended school
in Palm Springs.
Morales was not sure how her cous-
in met Juan Duarte Raya, 18, and Jacob
Montgomery, 19, the two other teens
found shot in Duarte Raya's car, but
said the three hung out in the same
group of friends.
Morales said she had just been
thinking about her cousin on Sunday,
the day of the shooting. The last time
the cousins saw one another, Morales
recorded a video of the pair using a
Snapchat filter.
"I’m gonna miss all your dumb fun-
ny jokes that we would laugh so frkin ‘
hard to," Morales wrote in a Facebook
post, "the times I’d spend the night
and we’d buy snacks just to be chillin’
talking about things."
One friend paid tribute to Garcia
with a photo collage showing Garcia
standing between a pair of angel
wings.
"You were such a bright person yuli
we all don’t understand and have
many questions that ain’t answered,"
wrote the Facebook user, Serena Yai-
lin.
Duarte Raya's aunt, Patricia Men-
doza, said the three teens were friends
from Nellie Coffman Middle School
and Cathedral City High School. Mont-
gomery's mother, Dana Beauchemin,
said Duarte Raya was her son's "best
friend in the whole world."
A fourth victim, identified by the
family of one of the victims as Carlos
Campos, 25, was found about a half-
mile away from the teenagers.

County Superior Court. His next court
appearance is scheduled for Feb. 20 and
a preliminary hearing is Feb. 22.
“This is a potential death penalty
case, as we have filed a special circum-
stance allegation of multiple murders,”
said John Hall, spokesman for the Riv-
erside County District Attorney’s office.
Orlando Guzman, Larin-Garcia’s
step-father, said the family is concerned
for their safety following the arrest and
may move from their nondescript apart-
ment complex in Cathedral City.
The teen had a DUI charge filed
against him last year, but his criminal
record was otherwise unblemished.
Guzman said Larin-Garcia has been
unemployed for about a year and regu-
larly plays video games at home.
“The cops aren’t telling us anything
and we’re afraid for our safety,” he said.
Police questioned the family three
times from Sunday to Monday.
The four victims of Sunday night’s
mass killing had links to one another
through school, work or close friend-
ships, family members said on Thurs-
day. Now, another thread binds them:
Death.
But it was unclear what their rela-
tionship was to Larin-Garcia. Police
have not said why they believe he killed
the four.
The Palm Springs police chief said in
a news conference this week, “We can-
tims.”
Three teens were found shot in an
older model Toyota Corolla about 11:40
p.m. Sunday on Sunny Dunes Road at El
Placer. They all were friends from mid-
dle and high school. The car they were in
had crashed into a parked car and spun
out into a wall. When found by Palm
Springs police, officers determined all
had been shot. A fourth friend was
found about a half-mile away.
Police have not identified the vic-
tims, but family members have named
them in fundraising pages on Go-
FundMe and Facebook.
The driver and youngest victim, Yu-
liana Garcia, 17; the car’s owner, Juan
Duarte Raya, 18; and Jacob Montgomery,
19, all were friends from school, first Nel-
lie Coffman Middle School and then Ca-
thedral City High School, according to
Duarte Raya’s aunt, Patricia Mendoza.
The body of the fourth victim, identi-
fied by records as Carlos C. Campos, 25,
was found about a half-mile away in the
middle of the road near Theresa and
Canon drives. It was not clear where he
was shot or how he traveled nearly a
half-mile from his friends. Mendoza
said Campos was dating her nephew’s
former boss.
Mendoza said the teens were all
friends from school, first Nellie Coffman
Middle School and Cathedral City High
School.
Montgomery’s mother, Dana Beau-
chemin, said Duarte Raya was “his best
friend in the whole world.”
The killings were centered along the
western edge of the city’s Demuth Park
neighborhood, which is bordered by Ra-
mon Road to the north, Mesquite Ave-
nue to the south, El Cielo Road to the
west and Gene Autry Trail to the east.
Named for Demuth Park along the
southern edge, the area is mostly com-
prised of homes, with an industrial area
on its eastern edge.
The neighborhood’s 147 burglaries
involving homes and vehicles have
dominated the types of crimes reported
in the area between January 2014 and
December 2018, according to police data
analyzed by The Desert Sun. They’re
followed by 74 drug-related offenses
during that period.
The only homicide during the past
five years was on Nov. 20, 2017, at a
home on Calle San Antonio, where Brian
Conroy is accused of fatally shooting his
mother, Amber Lane. Their home is less
than one-third of a mile from where the
three victims were discovered in the
Toyota.
Last year, police responded to 11 inci-
dents within the immediate area of this
week’s killings. Four incidents were
drug-related but others involved a mix
of factors, including burglary, robbery
and domestic spousal abuse.
Montgomery’s GoFundMe page,
which was set up by his mother, said the
proceeds will help to pay for her son’s
funeral expenses. It appeared the page
was created Wednesday afternoon.
By 11:45 a.m. Thursday, 25 people had
donated nearly $1,500.
Montgomery’s mother, Dana Beau-
chemin, said Thursday that her son was
“extremely hilarious.”
“I can’t express how funny my son
was,” she said.
Beauchemin, who lives in Montana,
said she last spoke to her son more than
a week ago. She said he wanted to fly out
to see her.
Mendoza said she created Duarte
Raya’s GoFundMe page. She said that
her sister had lost another son to brain
cancer four years ago when he was 15.
According to Mendoza, the two sis-
ters were at the cemetery celebrating
the other son’s birthday when they re-
ceived the news about Duarte Raya’s
death less than a month before his 19th
birthday.
Mendoza said she was relieved when
police told them he died instantly.
Yuliana Garcia’s fundraiser on Face-
book was created by Nely Aguirre, a
family friend.
Duarte Raya’s family found out be-
cause his manager at Jack in the Box in
Palm Springs called the family when she
recognized the car.
According to Mendoza, the car be-
longed to Duarte Raya, but she said Gar-
cia was driving and her nephew was in
the passenger seat.
In Montgomerey’s GoFundMe page,
his mother, Dana Beauchemin, says of
her son’s death: “This is the most horri-
fying time of our lives. This is so hard.
My Prince, My One True Love is Gone.”

California
Wet winter greatly
reduces drought
conditions in state
John Antczak
ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – In a matter of weeks, a very wet

winter has greatly reduced drought conditions that
have plagued California.
A series of storms has coated mountains with
blankets of snow and unleashed drenching rains that
have even greened up landscapes recently blackened
by wildfires.
Here are things to know about the suddenly soggy
state:

Dwindling drought

The U.S. Drought Monitor reported Thursday that

a large portion of the state including the Sierra Neva-
da, much of the Central Valley and the San Francisco
Bay Area is free of any significant dryness.
Heavy rain has also ended most of the moderate
drought that stretched from the Central Coast to the
southern tier of the state, leaving a lesser condition

Utility would cut power during
threats under safety proposal
Paul Elias
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO – Up to 5 million California cus-
tomers could temporarily lose power this year in the
name of wildfire prevention if regulators approve Pa-
cific Gas & Electric’s $2.3 billion safety proposal sub-
mitted Wednesday.
PG&E unveiled the preventive blackout strategy for
the first time late last year, getting regulatory permis-
sion to turn out the lights to 570,000 customers living
in wildfire-prone areas during high-danger weather.
In a regulatory filing with the California Public Util-
ities Commission, PG&E asked for permission to cut
power during wildfire threats throughout its entire
system serving 5.4 million customers in the northern
and central parts of the state.
A consumer advocacy group says it’s disappointed
with the utility’s emphasis on blackouts.

lowest levels in at least a year, and in one case, as
long as three years.
A relatively small area of moderate to severe
drought persists along the California-Oregon border.
By the numbers
More than 34 percent of the state now has no ab-
normal dryness or any of the four levels of drought,
which are described as moderate, severe, extreme
and exceptional.
Slightly more than half the state is considered ab-
normally dry and just 10.5 percent is either in moder-
ate or extreme drought.
On Jan. 1, less than 8 percent of the state had no

Continued from Page 9A
says PG&E’s proposal to shut power during wildfire
threats should be an emergency response only rather
than a routine preventive measure.
Spokeswoman Mindy Spatt called on PG&E to make
improving the safety of its equipment and training of
its workers more of a priority than cutting power. “It
puts customers in harm’s way,” she said
The utility also promised to overhaul much of its
wildfire-prevention measures in response to growing
legal, financial and public pressure for its role in start-
ing some of the most destructive blazes in California
history.
The embattled utility also vowed to increase in-
spections, cut more trees and work with forestry ex-
perts to lessen its role in starting wildfires.
A new state law passed in response to the destruc-
their wildfire-prevention plans with the California
Public Utilities Commission. The agency has sched-
uled several public meetings to review and amend the
proposals before they are adopted.
A federal judge who said he’s skeptical of PG&E’s
safety commitment also demanded the wildfire plan.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup is threatening to
impose sweeping prevention measures on the utility,
proposals PG&E said could cost as much $150 billion.
The utility said Wednesday its plan will cost between
$1.7 billion and $2.3 billion.
Alsup ruled last month that PG&E’s response to a
2017 wildfire violated probation terms included in its
felony conviction for a deadly 2010 natural pipeline ex-
plosion in a San Francisco suburb.
In response, Alsup proposed PG&E workers inspect,
document and rate every inch of its 2,400-square-
mile electrical system and remove or trim trees threat-
ening to touch equipment and start fires.
PG&E said that could require removing up to
100 million trees. Alsup said he will determine PG&E’s
sentence later.
On Wednesday, PG&E proposed removing 375,000
trees this year after cutting down 160,000 last year.
PG&E also said it would increase in-depth pole inspec-
tions from 9,400 last year to 40,600 this year and
building 200 weather stations in addition to the 200
existing stations.
The utility said it also planned to bury underground
or wrap in insulation 150 miles of bare wire next year
and 7,100 miles over the next decade.
State fire authorities blamed PG&E’s equipment for
starting 17 major wildfires in the last two years. The
San Francisco-based utility is facing more than 1,000
wildfire-related lawsuits. The utility filed for bank-
ruptcy last month, saying the lawsuits could cost more
than $30 billion.
Seven other utilities, including Southern California
Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric, also submitted
plans Wednesday, but none included the significant
reforms PG&E was proposing.

Warren sorry for identifying as Native American
Senate says she lacked sensitivity about tribal matters
William Cummings
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – Sen. Elizabeth War-
ren apologized Wednesday for “not hav-
ing been more sensitive about tribal citi-
zenship” after The Washington Post
published a 1986 Texas bar registration
card where she listed her race as “Amer-
ican Indian.”
“I’m not a tribal citizen,” the Massa-
chusetts Democrat told reporters. “My
apology is an apology for not having
been more sensitive about tribal citizen-
ship and tribal sovereignty. I really want
to underline the point, tribes and only
tribes determine tribal citizenship.”
It was at least the third time in a week
that Warren – who is part of the large
Democratic field running to unseat
President Donald Trump in 2020 – has
apologized for her past self-identifica-
tion.
“I can’t go back,” Warren told the Post
in response to the story about her Texas
bar registration. “But I am sorry for fur-
thering confusion on tribal sovereignty
and tribal citizenship and harm that re-

sulted.”
The former law school professor also
apologized to the Cherokee Nation in a
phone call with tribal chief Bill John
Baker last week for her public release of
a DNA test, which an expert said was
“strong evidence” that she had Native
American ancestry.
The test showed the Native American
ancestor dated back at least six genera-
tions.
After Warren unveiled the results of
the test in October via an online video,
Cherokee Nation Secretary of State
Chuck Hoskin Jr. said in a statement
that using “a DNA test to lay claim to any
connection to the Cherokee Nation or
any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inap-
propriate and wrong.”
Warren said she told Baker that she
was sorry for “extending confusion”
about tribal citizenship and for “harm
caused.”
On Wednesday, Warren did not deny
that there could be other documents out
there on which she identified herself as
Native American.

she said.
When asked how voters will react to
the news, Warren said she would leave
that up to the political pundits.
“But understand, this is from the
heart. This is about my family, my
brothers, and it is about an apology from
the heart,” she said.
Warren’s claim to Native American
heritage is an issue that has dogged her
since her 2012 Senate campaign against
former Republican Sen. Scott Brown.
Her opponents have accused her of us-
ing minority status for professional
benefit, and Trump has mocked her as
“Pocahontas.”

Death rates, ER waits:
Where VA hospitals lag
System still suffers
from uneven quality
Donovan Slack, John Kelly
and Jim Sergent
USA TODAY
When 66-year-old Navy veteran
Phyllis Seleska arrived at the emergen-
cy room at the Department of Veterans
Affairs hospital in Loma Linda, Califor-
nia, in August 2017, the waiting room
was crowded with dozens of veterans,
some in wheelchairs lined up to the en-
trance.
Seleska was suffering throbbing pain
after shattering her wrist but received
no medication and had to wait more
than seven hours to see a doctor, records
show. By then, the orthopedics staff had
gone home. So a nurse strapped a Velcro
splint on her wrist and told her to come
back in the morning.
“I don’t know why it took so long to
get back there to be told we can’t do any-
thing to help you,” said Seleska, who
worked on the flight deck of aircraft car-
riers in both Gulf Wars.
Her experience wasn’t unusual. At
roughly 70 percent of VA hospitals, the
median time between arrival in the
emergency room and admission was
longer than at other hospitals, in some
cases by hours, according to a USA TO-
DAY analysis of the department’s data.
That included Loma Linda, where the
median wait is more than 7 1⁄2 hours.
The USA TODAY analysis provides
the most comprehensive picture to date
of how 146 VA medical centers compare
to other health care facilities on an array
of factors.
The analysis is based on scores of
Democrats probe family separations
Alan Gomez
USA TODAY
The Trump administration received
its first official tongue-lashing Thursday
by a Democratic-led committee over the
“zero tolerance” policy that has led to
thousands of migrant family separa-
tions along the southern border.
Thursday’s hearing marked the first
attempt by Democrats to conduct over-
sight of the Trump administration’s
ever-expanding immigration enforce-
ment efforts.
One by one, Democratic members la-
beled the policy, announced by then-At-
torney General Jeff Sessions, and im-
plemented by the Department of Home-
land Security, as shameful, abhorrent
and a “stain on the conscience of the
U.S.”
“I really think that what we’re talking
about is state-sponsored child abuse,
and I would go as far as to say kidnap-
ping of children,” said Rep. Jan Scha-
kowsky, D-Ill., during the hearing of the
Committee on Energy and Commerce’s
oversight subcommittee.
Further enraging those members was
the admission from a Department of
Health and Human Services official and
several government investigators that
the practice of family separations actu-
ally started a year before Sessions’ pub-
lic announcement in April 2018, and
that it still continues to this day, albeit in
NATION & WORLD WATCH
US officials to investigate
San Francisco gas explosion
SAN FRANCISCO – The National
Transportation Safety Board will inves-
tigate a natural gas explosion on a San
Francisco street that sent flames into
the sky for hours and damaged five
buildings, an official said Thursday.
NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss said an
eight-person team will travel to San
Francisco. The agency investigates
blasts on pipelines because they trans-
port oil and natural gas, which it over-
sees. City officials said a crew digging on
a street to install fiber-optic wires cut a
natural gas line. No one was injured.

Phyllis Seleska of San Bernardino, Calif., retired from the Navy. She had a
difficult time getting treatment at a VA Hospital. ROBERT HANASHIRO/USA TODAY
spreadsheets the VA has posted online
in recent years containing comparisons
of its medical centers to non-VA aver-
ages on everything from the ER wait
times to infection rates and patient-sur-
vey results.
The analysis produced some positive
findings for the VA. As of June 30, a ma-
jority of VA hospitals reported lower
death rates than other facilities. Many
VA medical centers also stacked up bet-
ter on prevention of post-surgical com-
plications such as blood clots.
At the same time, dozens had higher
rates of preventable infections and se-
vere bedsores – a sign of potential ne-
glect. And nearly every VA performed
worse than other medical providers on
industry-standard patient satisfaction
surveys.
VA spokesman Curt Cashour said
certain veterans may have conditions

smaller numbers.
And since the administration has still
not completed a process to identify and
track all separated families, it remains
unknown how many children were sep-
arated and are still being separated to-
day.
“Exactly how many children were
separated is unknown,” testified Ann
Maxwell, assistant inspector general at
Health and Human Services.
Cmdr. Jonathan White, who oversaw
the care of minors for HHS, said he first
raised concerns about the separations
as far back as February 2017 when he
noticed an increase in the number of
separated children entering the system.
Russian official: Another
nuclear pact with US in trouble
MOSCOW – Another U.S.-Russian
nuclear pact is in danger after the U.S.
move to withdraw from a Cold War-era
arms control treaty, a senior Russian
diplomat said Thursday. Deputy Foreign
Minister Sergei Ryabkov charged that
the U.S. refusal to negotiate an exten-
sion to the New Start treaty signals
Washington’s intention to let it expire in
2021. He warned that time is running
out to save the pact. U.S. Undersecre-
tary of State Andrea Thompson told re-
porters there is enough time to discuss
the treaty’s extension.

that make them more susceptible to
complications, and “caution should be
exercised” when drawing conclusions
from the comparisons.
He said the VA “does recognize the
need to improve the speed by which it
can admit veterans to the inpatient
unit,” but he said non-VA hospitals
also struggle with long waits.
“VA provides some of the highest
quality health care available today,”
Cashour said.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
has been buffeted by crises since 2014
when news reports revealed that pa-
tients died awaiting appointments at
the Phoenix VA hospital.
There were lethal lapses in Oklaho-
ma City, patient safety failures in
Memphis, Tennessee, and equipment
and sterilization problems in Wash-
ington, D.C.
He told the committee he warned
his superiors that a family separation
policy would lead to psychological
trauma for the children, and would
overwhelm the department’s Office of
Refugee Resettlement, which takes
custody of migrant minors.
White said he was told in 2017 that
no such policy existed.
But then, in April 2018, he saw Ses-
sions announce that very policy on TV.
White said he was never consulted on
the policy and had he been asked, he
would have fought against it.
The family separation practice was
supposed to end after a public outcry
prompted President Donald Trump to
sign an executive order overturning it.
A few days later, a federal judge or-
dered that all separated families must
be reunited. On Thursday, White said
most of that work has been completed.
“Of the 2,816 children that we were
able to identify as separated, only six
remain who might potentially still be
reunified,” he said.
But several government officials
testified Thursday that the family sep-
aration practice continues and that
the administration has made it diffi-
cult to understand why.
Maxwell said Homeland Security
agents are giving only “limited infor-
mation” about the ongoing separa-
tions when they hand the separated
children over to HHS to care for them.
UN expert: Saudi Arabia
undermined Khashoggi probe
GENEVA – A U.N. human rights ex-
pert said Thursday that Saudi Arabia
undermined Turkey’s efforts to investi-
gate the death of journalist Jamal
Khashoggi, which she described as a
“brutal and premeditated killing”
planned and carried out by Saudi offi-
cials. Agnes Callamard, the U.N. special
rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or
arbitrary executions, made her assess-
ment Thursday after visiting Turkey.
Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi
Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. His re-
mains have not been found.

WASHINGTON – Members of Con-
gress could have their first – and prob-
ably only – chance to question acting
Attorney General Matthew Whitaker
on Friday, and there’s a lot they want to
ask: Has the White House tried to in-
terfere in the criminal investigations
surrounding the president? Has Whit-
aker revealed secrets to the White
House?
And the question that has con-
founded Washington for months: Is
the investigation of Russian election
interference that has shadowed the
first two years of President Donald
Trump’s administration really about to
end? But first: Will he show up at all?
Whitaker is scheduled to appear be-
fore the House Judiciary Committee at
9:30 a.m. EST. The committee on
Thursday authorized its chairman to
serve a subpoena on Whitaker if he de-
clines to answer lawmakers’ ques-
tions. Thursday, Whitaker told law-
makers that he would appear only if
lawmakers promised to withdraw the
subpoena threat.
Whitaker has presided over special
counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation
since Trump ousted Jeff Sessions as
attorney general in November. Whit-
aker said last month that the investi-
gation was “close to being completed,”
the first time anyone familiar with its
inner workings had offered even a hint
in public of its likely trajectory.
Central US hit
with blizzard
conditions
Doyle Rice
USA TODAY
A potent storm slammed the central
United States on Thursday, bringing a
ferocious mix of wild weather, from
blizzard conditions to flash floods.
Schools, universities and business-
es were closed Thursday in several
states as travel proved difficult if not
impossible. More than 130,000 cus-
tomers were without power in Michi-
gan, according to poweroutage.us.
At least five people have been killed.
Four died in traffic accidents on snowy
or icy roads in the central United
States over the past few days and a
student died in Seattle after slipping
on the ice. Earlier in the week, the
storm brought heavy snow and ice to
portions of the West Coast.
As of midday Thursday, the Nation-
al Weather Service reported more than
20 million people were threatened by
winter weather, and an additional
25 million were bracing for flooding.
The steadiest snow Thursday fell
from Minnesota through Wisconsin
and into the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan, AccuWeather said. Blizzard warn-
ings were in effect in the Dakotas, Min-
nesota, Iowa and Michigan.

US nuns urge changes to church

VATICAN CITY – The largest associa-
tion of religious sisters in the United
States called Thursday for an overhaul
of the male-led leadership structure of
the Catholic Church, after Pope Francis
publicly acknowledged the problem of
priests and bishops sexually abusing
nuns. The Leadership Conference of
Women Religious also appealed for re-
porting guidelines to be established so
abused nuns “are met with compassion
and are offered safety.” Francis ac-
knowledged this week that clergy abuse
of nuns was a problem.

Virginia meltdown shows
slavery warps our politics
Melinda Henneberger
Columnist
It’s starting to feel like such an epic meltdown in
Virginia that, like Lot’s wife exiting Sodom, the last
one out of Richmond could look back and be turned
into a pillar of salt.
Yet even if every last Democratic official in the
Commonwealth had to step down, this story would
still be about so much more than 2020 or how the
state party will survive this self-inflicted reckoning.
It’s certainly about how warped we are still by slav-
ery; otherwise, why keep play acting scenes that are
so hurtful? A Missouri nurse was fired just a few
months ago for wearing blackface to a Halloween par-
ty.
But could we have two political tribes with more
divergent reactions to the same sickness, which is a
deadened disregard for whole groups of humans be-
cause of who they are? Racism, misogyny and
ableism are only different strains of the same virus.
But because our politics don’t recognize that, I’m not
sure when America as a whole will ever recover.
The Democratic tribe has a governor, Virginia’s
Ralph Northam, who lost me when he talked about
babies with physical deformities who survive third-
trimester abortions being “kept comfortable” and “re-
susitated if that’s what the mother and the family
wanted.” But, naturally, only the other tribe — Repub-
licans — cared about that initial affront to human
rights by Northam, a doctor.
Then we saw the disturbing KKK and blackface
photo in Northam’s med school yearbook, and heard
about that time he dressed up like Michael Jackson,
complete with the shoe polish that was so darn hard
to wash off his cheeks. Democrats across the land
rightly said no, you can’t lead after that, not in this
party.
Everyone knows this except Dr. Northam, and pos-
sibly Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who as
it turns out also darkened his face for a college party
he attended as rapper Kurtis Blow in 1980. You boys
have a lot to work out is all I can say.
Even in the virtually all-white former sundown
town in Southern Illinois where I was growing up
around the same time these Virginia officials were in
school, I never heard of anyone feeling compelled to
put on blackface — maybe because there was no one
around to humiliate with such a display.

State of the Union address punted on leading national issues
Like Sunday’s snoozer of a Super Bowl, Tuesday’s
State of the Union address was a nationally televised
spectacle of pomp and ceremony that failed to live up
to the hype and featured lots of punting.
As we’ve noted before, President Donald Trump’s
wall proposal is unlikely to have much impact on the
flow of illegal immigrants or drugs across the border.
But the $5.7 billion he asked for is also a fairly minor
amount to be bickering over in the context of a $4.4
trillion federal budget.
Someday, historians will look back at this spat, and
this speech, and wonder why two of the biggest issues
facing the nation went unaddressed:

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
But still today in the Republican Party, the most
blatant shows of racial disrespect are laughed off, if
not lapped up. Sometimes there’s an apology, and
then a repeat performance.
It’s in the GOP that you can say your African-Amer-
ican opponent will “monkey this up” and still be elect-
ed governor of Florida. In 2018. After robocalls featur-
ing a man speaking in a minstrel dialect. It’s Repub-
licans who for years put up with the racial stylings of
Iowa Rep. Steve King, who imagines immigrants with
“calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re haul-
ing 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”
And of course, the GOP is now led by a man who
tried to put white supremacists shouting Nazi slogans
like “blood and soil” on equal moral footing with those
protesting racism. Donald Trump has lied again and
again about the criminality of immigrants, and ac-
cording to the Washington Post is considering a “far-
reaching rollback of civil rights law that would dilute
federal rules against discrimination in education,
housing and other aspects of American life.” The
president himself has told us how he treats women,
and I believe him.
Democrats are generally more inclined to believe
allegations of sexual assault than Republicans are.
Yet inconvenient as it would have been under the cir-
cumstances, Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was not
immediately disqualified by allegations that he’d sex-
ually assaulted a woman at the Democratic National
Convention in Boston in the summer of 2004.
“What began as consensual kissing quickly turned
into a sexual assault,” said the woman, Vanessa Ty-
son, a fellow at Stanford University and associate pro-
fessor at Scripps College, in a statement. She accused
Fairfax of forcing her to perform oral sex and said, “I
cannot believe, given my obvious distress, that Mr.
Fairfax thought this forced sexual act was consensu-
al.”
NBC reported that Fairfax, who has said that every-
thing that happened between them was consensual,
“used profane language in a private meeting Monday
night, while referring to his accuser.
The point is not that there’s pathology all around,
true as that is, but that we’ll be stuck right where we
are until we’re no longer partisans first. And the next
generation of leaders, whose every stumble will have
been recorded, shared and made searchable, can only
get out ahead of this by doing better.

decade, from a little more than $10 trillion to slightly
under $22 trillion, or nearly $70,000 per person.
Thanks to Republican tax cuts and — to a lesser degree
— to bipartisan spending hikes, a bad situation has
gotten worse with annual deficits now heading toward
$1 trillion at a time when government should be saving
up. The big driver of this debt is spending on retire-
ment. Benefits paid to seniors, a third of federal spend-

YOUR VOICE
This isn’t science fiction
There’s an expression that couldn’t possibly fit the
circumstance more perfectly. The expression: “The
inmates are running the asylum.”
The asylum I refer to is located in the state of Vir-
ginia.
This is where it’s been determined as to when life
begins and, more ambitiously, even when life should
end.
Science fiction? Unfortunately not.
I can imagine Gene Roddenberry, the creator of
“Star Trek,” and his fellow “science fictionists” grin-
ning from ear to ear and saying, “And they thought we
were kidding.”
Sometime ago words came to me in response to a
similar absurdity, so I wrote “Time has a way of wis-
ing us up, whether we like it or not. It’s an osmotic
action, an unconscious assimilation. One needs only
to be in the vicinity unless, of course, one is either
dense, impenetrable, or perhaps, stupid.”
Those who support the insanity in Virginia had
better hope there is no God.

A simple question
I have a very simple question for all individuals
who still support President Donald Trump:
How would you have reacted and what would you
have said if President Barack Obama had simply tak-
en the word of Vladimir Putin when he denied in-
volvement in our elections, stated his belief that Kim
Jong Un was being honest in stating that his country
would denuclearize, believed the Saudis when they
stated that they were not involved in the murder of
Jamal Khashoggi, pulled out of the Paris accords, and
pushed through tax “reform” that basically gave al-
most all the relief to only the already wealthy?
I would further ask, how would you have reacted if
Obama publicly stated that all our intelligence agen-
cies were wrong in their assessments of Russia,
North Korea, ISIS, Iran, and global warming, and that
his beliefs are correct, and then, Tweeted that the
heads of these agencies need to go back and get “in-
telligent” about what they believe?
Until everyone can honestly say that they would
react the same regardless of which president did
these things, you are part of the problem and not part
of the solution.

Army marches toward higher fitness requirements

Lolita C. Baldor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Army soldiers
struggle to haul heavy sleds backward
as fast as they can down a grassy field at
Fort Bragg, filling the brisk North Caroli-
na morning air with grunts of exertion
and the shouts of instruction from
coaches.
Watching from the sidelines, Sgt.
Maj. Harold Sampson shakes his head.
As a military intelligence specialist, he
spends a lot of time behind a desk. Over
his two decades in the Army, he could
easily pound out the situps, pushups
and 2-mile run that for years have made
up the service’s fitness test.
But change has come. The Army is
developing a new, more grueling and
complex fitness exam that adds dead
lifts, power throws and other exercises
designed to make soldiers more fit and
ready for combat. “I am prepared to be
utterly embarrassed,” Sampson said on
a recent morning, two days before he
was to take the test.
Commanders have complained in re-
U.S Army troops in training to become
instructors participate in the new
Army combat fitness test at Fort
Bragg, N.C. GERRY BROOME/AP
cent years that the soldiers they get out
of basic training aren’t fit enough. Near-
ly half of the commanders surveyed last
year said new troops coming into their
units could not meet the physical de-
mands of combat. Officials also say
about 12 percent of soldiers at any one
time cannot deploy because of injuries.
In addition, there has long been a
sense among many senior officials that
the existing fitness test does not ade-
quately measure the physical attributes
needed for the battlefield, said Gen. Ste-
phen Townsend, head of U.S. Army
Training and Doctrine Command.
The new test, “may be harder, but it is
necessary,” Townsend said.
Reaching the new fitness levels will
be challenging. Unlike the old fitness
test, which graded soldiers differently
based on age and gender, the new one
will be more physically demanding and
will not adjust the passing scores for
older or female soldiers.
For example, in the current test – two
minutes of situps, two minutes of push-
ups, a 2-mile run – younger soldiers
must do more repetitions and run faster
to pass and get maximum scores than
those who are older or female.
Townsend said the new test was de-
signed based on scientific research that
matched specific exercises to tasks that
soldiers in combat must do: sprint away
from fire, carry a wounded comrade on a
stretcher, haul cans of fuel to a truck.
The scoring is divided into three lev-
els that require soldiers with more phys-
ically demanding jobs, such as infantry
or armor, to score higher.
“We needed to change the culture of
fitness in the United States Army. We
had a high number of nondeployable
soldiers that had a lot of muscular/skel-
etal injuries and medical challenges be-
cause we hadn’t trained them from a fit-
ness perspective in the right way,” said
Army Maj. Gen. Malcolm Frost, com-
mander of the Army’s Center for Initial
Military Training and the officer in
charge of developing the new fitness
test. “The goal is about a having a more
combat-ready army.”
Frost said that about one-third of the
soldiers who come into the service leave
before their third year, many because of
muscular skeletal injuries. The new test,
he said, will help screen out recruits
who are less physically fit and mentally
disciplined. Those who make the cut are
more likely to stay in the service.
It will also challenge senior officers
such as Sampson, who have been doing
less physical desk jobs.
“It breaks the mindset of ‘I am an in-
tel soldier,’ ” said Sampson. “It changes
it to ‘I am a soldier,’ because bullets on
the battlefield don’t discriminate.”

STARWATCH
Aries (March 21-April 19). Certain things are in
place. Life will change you for the better, whether you
want it to or not. Also, there’s nothing to be done about
it, so you may as well just relax and take it all in.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Love somehow still
sticks with you even when you give it away. In fact, the

more you give, the more you have, and it becomes real-
ly hard to get rid of.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). When your friend is on
the phone to someone else, you can tell who’s on the
line. You’re sensitive to the way people sound in differ-
ent relationships. It teaches you something about your
own communication style.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). You have quirks. Every-
one does. Some people hide them better than others.
You tend to enjoy most the ones who don’t bother or
who can’t seem to hide them. Anyway, someone finds
your quirks irresistible today.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though practical advice
will work for many, if it goes against what you’re feel-
ing today, then you’re highly unlikely to be able to ap-
ply it, so why bother? Accept your own stubbornness
as the quality that just might deliver you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s hard to see where
you’re limiting yourself by complying to norms, but try
and step back. Resist going where you’re led or an-
swering what you’re asked. There’s nothing you have
to do.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you’re too focused on
what they might like, you’ll miss out on what you like.
You’ve been cultivating your preferences and aesthetic
for a while now. Isn’t everyone missing out if you don’t
share?
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you’ve ever looked back
on old work (or an old diary or historic pieces of your
wardrobe) and cringed, well, then today’s cringey situ-
ation will feel familiar. But isn’t this just a sign that
you’ve grown a lot?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Has it been done be-
fore? Of course. Just about everything has, but not
quite in this way, and not by you. The particulars of
your approach and very essence will make this unique.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being able to tell a good
story is a quality that will take you far, not only socially
but also with your work and your self-talk, and the way
you organize yourself in general.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’d like to think that
you open yourself to help from friendly forces, and yet
you also notice that you’re tensing up around a certain
area, as though you must do it on your own. This ten-
sion is your inner wisdom speaking.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a need to be filled
and you’ll get the sense that you’re just the one for the

Fed chairman wants message to get across
Powell says public’s faith
needs to be restored
Martin Crutsinger
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve
Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednes-
day that he has used his first year as
chairman to make sure the central bank
deserves the trust of the American peo-
ple, especially at a time when people are
losing faith in big institutions.
Powell acknowledged that at the mo-
ment “we are paddling against the cur-
rent” in an effort to restore the public’s
faith in large institutions like the Fed.
He said to achieve this goal he has
tried to emphasize outreach to members
of Congress, which oversees the central
bank. He also said he is making his
speeches and other Fed communica-
tions as jargon-free as possible.
Powell spoke to teachers gathered in

Hall of Famer, manager Robinson dies at 83
David Ginsburg and Ben Walker
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Crowding the plate, fearsome and fearless, Frank
Robinson hammered his way into the Hall of Fame.
His legacy, however, was cemented the day he sim-
ply stood in the dugout at old Cleveland Stadium as the
first black manager in Major League Baseball.
Robinson, the only player to earn the MVP award in
both leagues, died Thursday at 83. He had been in fail-
ing health and in hospice care at his home in Bel Air.
MLB said he was with family and friends at the time.

USA TODAY NETWORK
The girls’ soccer team at Cathedral City High School
hasn’t lost since Dec. 8. It’s a streak that stretches 15
games and includes 14 wins.
That streak continued Wednesday in the first round
of the CIF-SS Division 5 playoffs with a 1-0 win over
Rialto, and it could be the start of a deep CIF run for the
squad that won the program’s first solo league title in
two decades.
Perhaps the truly remarkable part of this run is that
the last three games the Lions have pressed forward
without injured leading scorer Dalaina Johnson,
whose 27 goals led the Desert Empire League and was
good for second in Division 5.
In the first two of those three games, Cathedral City
beat Yucca Valley, 7-0, yet did not score in a tie against
Desert Mirage. That means the Lions have scored a
single goal in their last two games without Johnson.
Wednesday’s win was narrow, but Cathedral City
once again did enough to win.
“We had opportunities, but we didn’t put them all
away tonight,” Lions head coach Jorge Polanco said.
“But we have other scorers. The attack isn’t the prob-
lem, but we’re not finishing.
“We’re in a little slump, but hopefully we bounce
back Friday.”
Johnson, a junior forward with speed and athleti-
cism in the open field, has a strained left hamstring,
❚ 1B
“Frank Robinson’s resume in our
game is without parallel, a trailblazer in
every sense, whose impact spanned
generations,” Commissioner Rob
Manfred said in a statement.
Robinson hit 586 home runs – he was
Frank fourth on the career list behind only
Robinson Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays
when he retired and now ranks 10th. An
MVP with Cincinnati and Baltimore, he won the Triple
Crown while leading the Orioles to their first World Se-
ries championship in 1966.

but is hopeful she could return Friday at Westridge
(Pasadena).
Not that the Lions don’t have scorers if she’s not
able to play. Three other players — Alondra Figueroa-
Uribe, Alejandra Fernandez and Angel Longoria —
have each scored at least 10 goals apiece this season,
and Cathedral City scored 57 goals that were not by
Johnson.

An All-Star outfielder in 12 seasons and a first-ballot
selection to Cooperstown, Robinson also was a Rookie
of the Year and picked up a Gold Glove.
But his place in the sport’s history extended far be-
yond the batter’s box and basepaths.
In 1975, Robinson fulfilled his quest to become the
first African-American manager in the big leagues
when he was hired by the Cleveland Indians. His im-
pact was immediate and memorable.

Aztecs ride hat trick into
opening-round playoff win
Shad Powers
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
When the girls’ soccer playoff game tipped off be-
tween Palm Desert and AB Miller on Wednesday night,
the girls on the bench were busy buttoning up their
long coats because of the cold and coach Chris Keui-
lian was looking at his phone sending out a “the game
started” tweet.
Then they all heard a strange whistle, and looked up
from their tasks to find AB Miller celebrating. That’s
right, the visitors from Fontana scored a goal about 20
seconds into the game, and everyone wearing Palm
Desert offered a what-just-happened look.
Stirred but not shaken, the Aztecs stayed with their
normal game and it soon became clear that they were
the better side in this one. Malia Falk scored 12 minutes
into the game to tie it, and finished with a hat trick as
the Aztecs rolled to a 5-1 win in the Division 4 opener.
“I really thought that on the field we kept our com-
posure and didn’t back down, and didn’t get rattled or
anything, and that’s why we were able to turn it
around so quickly,” Falk said of yielding that early goal.
The victory sends the Aztecs into the second round
where they will face a difficult task, a date with the No.
1 team in the division, Cerritos.
“Well, to win a title you have to beat the best teams
at some time,” Keuilian said. “So we’ll head over there,
and as long as we play hard and play our best, either
we’ll pull off the win, or we can leave with our heads
held high either way. That’s the mindset.”
The moment
After yielding the opening goal and then having two
great shots hit the crossbar and post early in the game,
it had the feel of one of those nights where nothing
went right, but Falk ended that notion quickly.
In the 12th minute, she outbattled the goalkeeper
and a defender for possession of a loose ball at the top
of the box, and was able to flick it past the goal keeper
who couldn’t recover in time. It was a nice individual
play by Falk to get the scoreboard rolling in the right
direction and let everyone rest easy on the Aztec side.
By halftime it was 3-1 Palm Desert.
The stars
Malia Falk, Palm Desert: Falk had that opening
goal and scored again about 20 minutes later, taking
the ball in the box and using a quick strike rather than
the dribble to catch the goalkeeper off guard. She
drilled a shot into the bottom left of the goal. She

Pete Carlson golf expo has it all

Larry Bohannan
Columnist
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK

With manufacturers bringing out

new golf clubs year after year, touting
that this year’s model is better than last
year’s model, it is natural that a golfer
can suffer from fatigue from the on-
slaught of new equipment.
So many of this year’s clubs look ex-
actly like last year’s clubs to the un-
trained eye. Is this year’s model really
that much different or better than last
year’s model, or the model from three
years ago?
Yes, says Pete Carlson.
“New technology and new features
help golfers get the most of their equip-
ment,” said Carlson, the owner of Pete
Carlson’s Golf and Tennis in Palm Des-
ert and the host of the 15th annual Pete
Carlson Golf Expo at the College of the
Desert driving range Friday and Satur-
day.
With much of the new equipment
from major manufacturers debuting
just weeks ago at the PGA Golf Show in
Orlando, Carlson’s two-day expo will be
the first time most desert golfers have a
chance to see the latest clubs. And Carl-
son insists that most of the new clubs
will offer something that last year’s
equipment didn’t have.
Take, for instance, the new Callaway
Epic Flash driver. Carlson says Callaway
is promoting the club as the first to use
artificial intelligence, or A.I., in its de-
sign.
“That’s the thing they say has never
been used before,” Carlson said. “It cre-
ates more ball speed and distance than
ever before.”

golf club world these days, as in creating

Day pleased with Johnson, Flanagan

65 at Pebble Beach lead Vic Open in

Golfweek | USA TODAY Network

Tour combo event

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Jason Day
had quite a day at Monterey Peninsula
Country Club’s Shore Course.
Not that that is a surprise.
While some of the most expensive
real estate surrounds the two courses
at the club, Day has an ownership
stake, so to speak. Since 2010, no one
has played the course better in the
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am than Day,
and he added to his good fortune on the
Shore layout in Thursday’s first round.
With a 6-under-par 65 on a crisp,
pleasing day, he shared top honors
among the early finishers with four-
time Pebble Beach Pro-Am winner Phil
Mickelson, who shot 65 at the Shore.
Late in the afternoon, Brian Gay and
Scott Langley were in the clubhouse
with 64s.
Cody Gribble shot 6-under-par 66 at
Spyglass Hill.
A stroke back were Jordan Spieth,
Dustin Johnson and Keith Mitchell,
who played the Shore Course, and
Branden Grace, who was at Pebble
Beach.
Hosung Choi, a two-time winner on
the Japan Golf Tour whose extravagant
body English after every shot made him
an internet sensation, came back after
a poor start. With three birdies in his
last eight holes, he shot 72 at the Shore
Course.
Defending champion Ted Potter Jr.,
who held off Johnson, Day, Mickelson
and Chez Reavie to win by three last
year, shot 82 at Spyglass Hill.
Day has never approached 80 on the
Shore Course and always feels comfort-
able on the immaculate layout. He has
the best scoring average, 66.4, on the
course during the tournament since
2010 (minimum of four rounds played).
“I love this golf course here,” Day
said. “It definitely fits my eye, just off
the tee. I hit a lot of good quality drives
off the tee today that set me up. I wasn’t
just hitting it down the middle, I was
able to pick which side I was going to hit
down the fairways. Obviously with how

birdie putt on the 16th green on

soft the fairways are you can kind of
pick either left or right side, get yourself
the correct angle coming in the green.”
Day said it was imperative to get off
to a good start. The players will likely
have to shrug off foul weather heading
toward the Monterey Peninsula. The
present state of the three courses is on
the soggy side and the forecast calls for
storms Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“When you have four or five layers
on, over the next few days with a lot of
wind and rain, that’s very hard to play
some good golf because obviously the
balls start right because of the water,
and things get a little bit tougher that
way,” Day said.
Spieth, who hasn’t won since the
2017 Open Championship and hasn’t
had a top-20 since last year’s Open
Championship, took advantage of the
pleasant conditions and made birdie on
two of his final three holes to move up
the leaderboard. “If you don’t score well
out here you put yourself kind of be-
hind a bit and it’s tough to make up
when we got weather coming in be-
cause you’re trying to force it,” Spieth
said. “I don’t feel like I need to force
anything tomorrow.”
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARWON HEADS, Australia – Felici-
ty Johnson made a late move up the
leaderboard Thursday at the LPGA’s Vic
Open to take a two-stroke lead after the
opening round.
The Englishwoman shot an 8-under
65 on the Creek course at the 13th Beach
Golf Links, where men and women
played in alternate groups in the unique
tournament format also sanctioned by
the men’s European Tour.
“Anytime you shoot 8 under, it’s
pretty good,” Johnson said. “To do it
bogey free is a bonus. I’m going to
sound a bit cocky, but it was really easy.
I hit 17 greens in regulation, birdied
three of the par 5s, so there’s kind of a
couple of almost gimme birdies.”
Su Oh of Australia had a hole-in-one
and had held the lead for most of the
day with Anne-Catherine Tanguay,
both at 6 under. Kim Kaufman joined
them in a tie for second with a 66 in the
afternoon.
Oh aced the 138-meter par-3 15th
hole with a 6-iron. Tanguay played the
par-72 Beach course and shot 66.
Minjee Lee began her title defense
with a 1-under 72, while seven-time
major winner Karrie Webb shot 73,
both on the Creek course. Morgan Pres-
sel was 3-under after a 70 on the Creek
layout, as was Georgia Hall.
Nick Flanagan, an Australian who
won the 2003 U.S. Amateur, shot a 10-
under 62 on the Creek course to take a
two-stroke lead in the men’s tourna-
ment.
Among those tied for second were
Flanagan’s roommate, James Nitties,
and Kurt Kitayama, Hugo Leon and
Callum Shinkwin. Andrew (Beef) John-
ston shot 66, also on the Creek course,
as did former U.S. Open champion
“Anytime you shoot 8 un-
der, it’s pretty good. To do
it bogey free is a bonus. I’m
going to sound a bit cocky,
but it was really easy.”
Felicity Johnson
Pro golfer
Geoff Ogivly on the Beach course.
Tournament officials said Nitties,
who started on the back nine at the
Beach course, tied a record for consec-
utive birdies with nine, equaling Mark
Calcavecchia’s record at the 2009 Ca-
nadian Open. Unfortunately for Nitties,
he double-bogeyed his fifth hole before
making birdie on the last four holes of
the back nine and the first five on the
front.
“I don’t hold any other world records
that I know of so to be a part of one is
pretty cool,” Nitties joked.
The 62 was Flanagan’s lowest tour-
nament round.
“I have had a few 9-unders on tour,”
he said. “It felt super uncomfortable
but it kind of came easy if that makes
any sense, which it doesn’t really. A
couple of early putts dropped and I just
wasn’t trying too hard essentially.”
The start of play was delayed for
more than an hour by early-morning
fog.
The Beach course is being played as
a par-72 for both men and women; the
Creek is par-72 for men and 73 for
women. Both courses will be used for
the first two rounds of the tournament.
The Women’s Australian Open, also
sanctioned by the LPGA, will be played
next week at The Grange in Adelaide.

But without her, the centerpiece of
the offense, the connections between
players change. Players play out of posi-
tion and the flow of the offense just isn’t
the same.
“We’ve had games where we’ve
played good without her,” Fernandez
said, “But we have to work harder for the
win. That’s the difference.”
Johnson said it’s tough not being in
the lineup. She watches from the side-
line, like she did Wednesday, and wish-
es she could be with her teammates.
Still, she doesn’t express any doubt
about whether her teammates can win
without her.
“They definitely can,” she said. “It’s
exciting to watch them do it.”
The ultimate goal for Polanco and his
team is a CIF championship. But he said
that all comes secondary to simply win-
ning the next game and making sure
that his players execute like he knows
they can.
That’s all Polanco cares about now,
with or without his leading scorer.
“Hopefully we get her back, but the
truth is we’ve played games without her
and we scored, and we have scorers,” he
said.
“We just have to finish better than we
did tonight. I’m not sure there’s a team
that can keep up with us if we do.”

ning, he homered off Doc Medich and
the crowd went crazy, cheering the
whole April afternoon as Cleveland beat
the Yankees.
The Reds, Orioles and Indians have
retired his No. 20 and honored him with
statues at their stadiums.
Robinson later managed San Fran-
cisco, Baltimore and Montreal. He be-
came the first manager of the Washing-
ton Nationals after the franchise moved
from Montreal for the 2005 season – the
Nationals put him in their Ring of Hon-
or, too.
More than half the major league
teams have had black managers since
his debut with Cleveland.
Robinson later spent several years
working as an executive for MLB and for
a time oversaw the annual Civil Rights
Game. He advocated for more minor-
ities throughout baseball and worked
with former Commissioner Bud Selig to
develop the Selig Rule, directing teams
to interview at least one minority candi-
date before hiring a new manager.
For all he did on and off the field, Rob-
inson was presented the Presidential
Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush in
2005.
Born Aug. 21, 1935, in Beaumont, Tex-
as, Robinson attended McClymonds
High School in Oakland, California, and
was a basketball teammate of future
NBA great Bill Russell. But it was on the
diamond, rather than court, where fame
awaited Robinson.

fourth goal, when Kaitlin Clapinski sent
a centering pass that basically hit Falk
in the mid-section and deflected in. Af-

hasn’t caught a lot of breaks. Falk found
the net three times in this one.
Kaitlin Clapinski, Palm Desert: Cla-
pinski had two assists as well as the oth-
er two goals, breaking ahead of the pack
and beating the goalkeeper in the first
half, and then pick-pocketing the goalie
who was being too casual with a loose
ball and finding the back of the net for
the game’s fifth goal.
Lauren Warfield, Palm Desert: War-
field played well in the back line of the
defense, and astutely joined the offen-
sive action to play a key role in the Az-
tecs’ second goal. Seeing a teammate in
need of an outlet, she jumped into the
run of play, called for the ball, got it and
sent a smart ball forward to kickstart
the action that ended with a Falk goal.

Keuilian on Falk’s hat-trick: “That
was great to see because Malia has been
snake-bit all year. The number of posts
she’s hit or the number of keeper saves
against her, some keepers have looked

down, and I don’t know when the last
time we had a hat-trick in the playoffs

player I ever saw.”
Starting out in an era when Mays,
Aaron, Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams
were the big hitters, Robinson more
than held his own over 21 seasons. He
finished with 1,812 RBIs and hit .294 – he
played in the World Series five times,
and homered in each of them.
Robinson was the only player to hit a
ball completely out of old Memorial Sta-
dium in Baltimore and once connected
for grand slams in consecutive innings
of a game. But he didn’t just slug away,
as evidenced by a .389 on-base average
boosted by 1,420 walks against 1,532
strikeouts. Extremely alert on the bases,
he had 204 steals.
Robinson played the game with
grace, yet was known as fierce compet-
itor who combined hard work with nat-
ural talent. He crowded the plate, yield-
ing to no pitcher, and didn’t seem to care
about being brushed back or getting hit
by a pitch 198 times.
“Pitchers did me a favor when they
knocked me down,” Robinson said. “It
made me more determined. I wouldn’t
let that pitcher get me out.”
And opposing pitchers noticed.
“Frank Robinson might have been the
best I ever saw at turning his anger into
runs. He challenged you physically as
soon as he stepped into the batter’s box,
with half his body hanging over the
plate,” Hall ace Bob Gibson once wrote.
“As a rule, I’m reluctant to express
admiration for hitters, but I make an ex-
ception for Frank Robinson,” Gibson
wrote.
Robinson carried a similar philoso-
phy as a baserunner, unapologetically
sliding spikes high whenever necessary.
“The baselines belong to the runner,
and whenever I was running the bases, I
always slid hard,” Robinson declared.
Robinson broke in with a bang as a
20-year-old big leaguer. He tied the

now as a team, really clicking. And this
is CIF so it’s the right time to be playing
that way.”
Keuilian: “Well, we’re playing our
best soccer here at the end of January,
early February, and that’s when you
want to be peaking. You’d rather be
playing your best now than in Decem-
ber, so this is the right time.”
The takeaway
The Desert Empire League co-cham-
pions and top seed are picking the right
time to peak, and on this night, their
best players and best finishers were ex-
tremely sharp.
Falk and Clapinski are excellent indi-
vidual talents, but they were especially
first-year record with 38 home runs for
Cincinnati in 1956, scored a league-high
122 times and was voted NL Rookie of
the Year.
Robinson was the 1961 NL MVP after
batting .323 with 37 homers and 124
RBIs for the pennant-winning Reds, and
reached career highs in runs (134) and
RBIs (136) in 1962. He was an All-Star,
too, in 1965, but Reds owner Bill DeWitt
decided Robinson was an old-ish 30 and
time to make a move.
That December, Robinson was the
centerpiece in what would ultimately be
one of the most lopsided trades in base-
ball history, going to Baltimore for pitch-
ers Milt Pappas and Jack Baldschun and
outfielder Dick Simpson.
Robinson became an instant hit with
the Orioles in 1966 as the unanimous AL
MVP.
On May 8, he became the only player
ever to hit a home run completely out of
Baltimore’s home park, Memorial Stadi-
um. The drive came against Cleveland
ace Luis Tiant and the spot where the
ball sailed over the left-field wall was
marked by a flag that read “HERE” that
remained in place until the Orioles left
for Camden Yards in 1991.
Robinson batted .316 with 49 home
runs and 122 RBIs during his first season
in Birdland. He then homered in the first
inning of the 1966 World Series opener
at Dodger Stadium and capped off the
four-game sweep of Los Angeles with
another homer off Don Drysdale in a 1-0
win in Game 4.
Robinson hit two home runs against
the Reds – of all clubs – in teaming with
future Hall of Fame third baseman
Brooks Robinson to win another crown
for the Orioles in 1970.
All told, Robinson was an All-Star in
five of his six seasons with Baltimore,
reaching the World Series four times
and batting .300 with 179 home runs.
dangerous when working in tandem to-
night. The entire team was working in
unison well into this one, controlling the
run of play all night. Smart passing,
smart positioning, and after that stun-
ning early goal, AB Miller really didn’t
challenge the goal much at all.
What’s next?
The Aztecs advance to play Cerritos,
the top-ranked team in Division 4. It’s a
daunting task on paper, but perhaps the
top dogs showed they can be beaten as
they only won their opener 1-0 over a
wild-card team from Santa Barbara on
Wednesday. The game will be played at
Cerritos and will start at either 3 or 5
p.m.
The cap on his Cooperstown plaque car-
ries on O’s logo.
Pappas went 30-29 over two-plus
seasons with the Reds, Baldschun won
one game in 51 appearances over two
years with Cincinnati and Simpson hit
five home runs as a part-time outfielder
for the Reds during two mediocre sea-
sons.
Robinson was traded to the Dodgers
before the 1972 season. He played for the
California Angels in 1973 and was dealt
to Cleveland late in the 1974 season.
Robinson had coached for the Orioles
and worked in their front office when he
became their manager in 1988 after the
team opened at 0-6. Things didn’t get
much better right away as Baltimore
went on to lose its first 21 games and fin-
ished 54-107. The next season, the O’s
went 87-75 and Robinson was voted AL
Manager of the Year. Tough and de-
manding, he went 1,065-1,176 overall as a
big league manager.
A no-nonsense guy, Robinson also
had a sharp wit. That served him well in
Baltimore where, in addition to being a
star right fielder, he was the judge for the
team’s Kangaroo Court, assessing play-
ful fines for missing signs, uniform mis-
haps and other things he deemed as in-
fractions.
At the time, the Orioles had a batboy
named Jay Mazzone, whose hands were
amputated when he was 2 after a burn-
ing accident. Mazzone capably did his
job for years with metal hooks and be-
came good friends with Robinson.
Some players, though, initially
weren’t sure how to treat the teen.
“Frank Robinson broke the ice,” Maz-
zone said. “He was running his Kanga-
roo Court and calling a vote among the
players, whether to fine somebody or
not.”
Survivors include his wife, Barbara,
and daughter Nichelle.

Rondo’s jumper at buzzer lifts Lakers
Kyle Hightower
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON – Rajon Rondo hit a 20-foot
jumper as time expired to lift the Los
Angeles Lakers over the Boston Celtics,
129-128 on Thursday night.
LeBron James had 28 points, 12 re-
bounds and 12 assists. Kyle Kuzma add-
ed 25 points and Rondo had 17 points
and 10 assists to help Los Angeles
bounce back after a 42-point loss at In-
diana on Tuesday.
Rondo was in the right place at the
right time for his final shot against the
team he won an NBA title with in 2008.
Brandon Ingram had his layup attempt
blocked by Al Horford, but Horford
whiffed on the rebound and the ball
bounced into Rondo’s hands.
Kyrie Irving led Boston with 24
points and eight assists. Jayson Tatum
added 22 points and 10 rebounds. Dan-
iel Theis has 20 points off the bench but
the Celtics had a five-game win streak
snapped.
It ended a wild, speculation-filled
day in which the NBA’s trade deadline
expired with one of the players poten-
tially on the wish list of both the Lakers
and Celtics staying with his current
team.
Los Angeles attempted to put togeth-
er a deal for New Orleans big man An-
thony Davis, but the Pelicans held onto
the All-Star despite him saying recently
that he would not sign an extension and
wanted to be traded. It means any po-
tential suitor will have to wait until the
summer to make a run at him.
The Lakers weren’t completely quiet

Jim Johnson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers
have found their rhythm even after los-
ing Victor Oladipo.
Bojan Bogdanovic had 29 points and
seven rebounds, and the Pacers beat the
short-handed Los Angeles Clippers 116-
92 on Thursday night.
“I think we’ve been connected,” Pac-
ers coach Nate McMillan said. “Defen-
sively playing good, offensively we’ve
got ball movement and guys are knock-
ing down shots. I felt like we lost a
rhythm for a few games. That four-game
losing streak, I thought we lost a
rhythm. But, we seemed to have found it
with the guys that we have out on the
floor.”
Myles Turner had 17 points and tied
his career high with six blocked shots,
while Thaddeus Young and Darren Col-
lison each scored 14 points for the Pac-
ers, who won their fourth consecutive
game.
Montrezl Harrell scored 19 points and
Danilo Gallinari had 12 for the Clippers,
who have a roster in transition after the
NBA’s trade deadline.
“It was tough, especially when you’re
playing against a very good team like In-
diana,” Gallinari said. “We didn’t do a
very good job tonight. We started pretty

First Nassar accuser to question
USA Gymnastics official
INDIANAPOLIS – The first woman to
publicly accuse sports doctor Larry
Nassar of sexual abuse is expected to
question USA Gymnastics’ chief finan-
cial officer in bankruptcy court.
Attorney John Manly says Rachael
Denhollander will question Scott Shol-
lenbarger about the Indianapolis-based
group’s assets and how many claims
have been filed by Nassar’s victims.
USA Gymnastics filed for Chapter 11

season was 2005-06, when the Pacers
beat the Lakers 105-79 and the Clip-

Clippers’ roster moves
The Clippers officially announced
after the game trade deadline moves
that include acquiring center Ivica Zu-
bac and forward Michael Beasley from
the Los Angeles Lakers for center Mike
Muscala. The Clippers also got forward
JaMychal Green and guard Garrett
Temple from the Memphis Grizzlies in
exchange for guard Avery Bradley.
Double bat delay
The game was delayed twice be-
cause a bat was loose inside Bankers
Life Fieldhouse and flying around the
court. The game was stopped at the
6:39 mark in the first quarter when a
bat began flying around players and

Colts bring back longtime
offensive line coach Mudd to staff
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis
Colts have rehired Howard Mudd as a
senior offensive assistant.
Coach Frank Reich also announced
Thursday that Klayton Adams will be
Indy’s new assistant offensive line
coach and Marcus Brady has been pro-
moted from assistant quarterbacks
coach to quarterbacks coach.
Mudd spent 12 seasons as the Colts
offensive line coach during the Peyton
Manning era. He has more than 40 years
of NFL experience, including eight sea-
sons as player.
Wild finish
Boston led by as many as 18 in the
first half. The Lakers erased it in third
quarter, connecting on nine of their 13
attempts from beyond the arc and out-
scoring the Celtics 42-27 in the period to
retake the lead entering the fourth.
But the Celtics responded with a 15-4
run to start the final period to get it back.
James and Irving traded shots down
the stretch. In one exchange James’ 3-
pointer cut Boston’s lead to 114-113. Ir-
ving then calmly responded with his
own step-back 27-footer.
East contenders make
moves, Davis waits for his
Brian Mahoney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Toronto, Milwaukee and Philadel-
phia made their moves. Anthony Davis
will have to wait until the summer for
his.
The New Orleans Pelicans held onto
Davis but dealt Nikola Mirotic to the
Bucks, one of the Eastern Conference
contenders who fortified their teams on
Thursday before the NBA trade dead-
line.
The Raptors are getting former All-
Star center Marc Gasol from Memphis.
The 76ers, a day after acquiring for-
ward Tobias Harris from the Clippers,
sent Markelle Fultz to Orlando and will
hope Jonathan Simmons can provide
some production where the former No. 1
pick couldn’t.
All the trades were confirmed to The
Associated Press by people with
knowledge of the details because they
couldn’t be announced before they
were approved by the NBA.
A busy swap season that included
Dallas’ acquisition of Kristaps Porzin-
gis from New York ended without a
move for Davis, the player who dom-
inated the discussion in recent weeks.
The Pelicans didn’t find a deal for Da-
vis, who had requested a trade and in-
formed the team he wouldn’t sign a
contract extension this summer.
But the Lakers couldn’t put together
a strong enough package to the Peli-
cans’ liking for the All-Star forward,
who will go back into the trade market
after the season ends. There will be
other marquee names available then
with a free agent class that could be
highlighted by players such as Kevin
Durant, Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leon-
ard.
The Boston Celtics didn’t jump into
the trading deadline fray but may try to
get involved in the summer.
For now, the Celtics appear to feel
they have enough to win the East.
The other conference contenders
looked for upgrades – and went out and
got some that likely will fit well.

Gronk gets bonked by beer can
during Super Bowl parade
BOSTON – Gronk got bonked.
Rob Gronkowski, the New England
Patriots’ star tight end, says he got hit in
the face by a can of beer thrown during
Tuesday’s Super Bowl victory parade in
Boston.
Gronkowski told “The Tonight Show
with Jimmy Fallon” the can drew blood,
and he showed Fallon the small cut it
left near one of his eyebrows.
The same thing happened to Red Sox
manager Alex Cora during October’s pa-
rade in Boston to celebrate that team’s
World Series title.
Later, it was Irving assisting on a big
basket. With Boston leading 121-118, Ir-
ving drove into the middle of the Los
Angeles defense and kicked it out to a
wide-open Marcus Morris for a 3 with
just 1:24 left.
But following an Irving turnover,
James tied it with his own corner 3-
pointer.
Tougher East
The Celtics stood mostly pat at the
trade deadline, except for trading Jabari
Bird to the Atlanta Hawks. The move
opens a roster spot for the Celtics and
allowed them part ways with a player
who hasn’t played this season after
charged with beating up his girlfriend
last September.
But two of the teams currently in
front of them in the East did make some
changes.
The Bucks, who had the best record
in the NBA entering the day, picked up
Nikola Mirotic in a deal with the Peli-
cans. The Raptors added former All-Star
center Marc Gasol from Memphis in ex-
change for center Jonas Valanciunias.
“Those teams were already really
good. And the assumption would only
be that they’d only benefit from those
moves,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens
said. “It will be quite a challenge. As we
knew it would be.”

side-shooting ability for a big man
would appear to fit perfectly in a lineup
around superstar Giannis Anteto-
kounmpo.
Two games back of the Bucks, the
Raptors sent center Jonas Valanciunias
to Memphis to acquire Gasol. Valanciu-
nas had been coming off the bench and
Toronto coach Nick Nurse will have to
decide whether he uses Gasol in the
same manner, or returns to a tradition-
al bigger lineup with the former defen-
sive player of the year in the middle.
The 76ers have made two major
trades during the season, previously
getting Jimmy Butler from Minnesota
before the deal to bring in Harris.
All of those clubs feel they improved
their chances to be the first East team to
reach the NBA Finals without LeBron
James since 2010.
Things were quieter in the West,
where there were no upgrades by teams
currently in playoff position. The Clip-
pers currently hold the eighth and final
spot but appear willing to give it up in
favor of positioning themselves for the
summer, with their moves designed to
help them pursue two top free agents in
July.
But the Golden State Warriors or
teams pursuing them can still bolster
their squads by adding players who are
free agents. Players on rosters of anoth-
er team must be waived by March 1 in
order to sign with another team and be
eligible to appear in the postseason.

COLORADO 84, UCLA 73
Gatling leads Colorado past UCLA
Beth Harris
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES – Shane Gatling
picked a good time for a career night.
With his mother celebrating her birth-
day at historic Pauley Pavilion, Gatling
almost couldn’t miss.
He had career highs of 28 points and
seven 3-pointers, helping the Buffaloes
beat UCLA 84-73 on Wednesday night
and sending the Bruins to their fifth loss
in seven games.
Gatling was 8 of 10 from the floor,
missed just two of his nine 3-point at-
tempts and made 5 of 6 free throws.
Tyler Bey added 16 points and 10 re-
bounds, and D’Shawn Schwartz had 15
points for the Buffs (13-9, 4-6 Pac-12).
“It feels fantastic,” Buffs coach Tad
Boyle said. “We had 22 assists and we
really shot the ball well. It’s really time
for our guys to have the success in
shooting.”
The Bruins (12-11, 5-5) led just once on
a jumper by Cody Riley early in the sec-
ond half.
Gatling immediately took over and
hit three straight 3-pointers to put Colo-
rado back in front 52-47.
“Gatling is incredible,” interim Bruins
coach Murry Bartow said. “Obviously
our zone had some holes in it and Gat-
ling found it.”
UCLA closed to 60-59 on a 3-pointer
by Jaylen Hands before the Buffs con-
trolled the game’s final nine minutes
when they outscored the Bruins 26-15.
“We’re a really young team,” Bartow
said. “A lot of times when things start
going badly for us a two-point deficit
turns to four, then six, then eight or 10.
It’s just a frustrating loss.”
Colorado hit 13 3-pointers – one off its
season high – in the game, made 15 of 16
free throws and had a season-high 22
assists on 28 made field goals.
“I like our toughness has been during
the last couple of games,” Boyle said.
“The guys are really dialed in right now.”
Moses Brown led UCLA with 17
points, going 8 of 10 from the floor. The
7-foot-1 freshman connected on a cou-
ple of impressive jump hooks to avoid
being trapped by the Buffs. He had eight
rebounds, four steals and four blocked
shots.
“I’m just trusting the process. I’m lis-
tening to everything coach says,” Brown
said. “We work hard every single day in
practice. I have faith we will do well this
season.”
Chris Smith added 14 points and
Hands had 13 points.
UTAH 77, USC 70
USC rally falls short
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES – After losing twice
last week at home, Utah made the road
look very comfortable Wednesday night
in a 77-70 victory over USC.
The Utes (12-10, 6-4) led by as many
23 points midway through the second
half, before holding off a furious rally by
the Trojans (13-10, 6-4).
Utah picked up 13 points and 13 re-
bounds from Jayce Johnson. Both Gach
led the team with 15 points, while Se-
drick Barefield added 13 points and five
assists and Donnie Tillman added 13
points. Riley Battin and Parker Van Dyke
each had nine points.
“We had almost six guys in double
figures, so the ball was obviously
shared,” said Utah coach Larry Krystko-
wiak.
Utah took control early, leading by 20
points late in the first half. USC never
led.
“That was our worst effort in a long
time,” USC coach Andy Enfield said.
“I’m disappointed in our team. I’ll take
the blame for that.”
USC struggled with its shot for most
of the night, before finally starting to
find a groove late in the second half and
making a run that never got them closer
than the final seven-point differential.
Jonah Mathews led USC with 18
points, while Bennie Boatwright had 17
points – all but two coming in the sec-
ond half – and 12 rebounds.
The Utes held USC to 35.7 percent
shooting in the first half and to just 2 of
11 on 3-point attempts.
“It was danged good defense,” Kryst-
kowiak said.
Mathews hit three 3-pointers in the
second half to lead the USC rally and put
a slight scare into the Utes.
Coming out flat
USC, which had been playing well of
late, could never recover from its slow
start.
“We’re as talented as any team in
America, and if we don’t play hard it
shows,” Mathews said. “When we start-
ed playing hard, we started scoring
more.”

“Just going to keep pushing going for-
ward,” Hands said. “Get better at what
we need to get better at. We know where
we need to be.”
UCLA’s leading scorer Kris Wilkes
was held to eight points on 3 of 11 shoot-
ing. He averages 17.8 points. Bartow said
Wilkes felt ill at halftime.
The Buffs raced to a 20-8 lead to open
the game, making four 3-pointers dur-
ing the stretch in which UCLA trailed by
13.
The Bruins eventually recovered,
ending the half on a 9-0 run to trail 38-
37. Hands stole the ball and fed Smith
for a basket. Brown blocked Schwartz,
grabbed the rebound and fed Hands for
a 3-pointer.

Said Enfield: “Utah played well to-
night, but this had more to do with us.
They’re a good basketball team and I
won’t discredit what they did because
they did play very well, but we have to
play better as a team.”
Big picture
Utah: After having a four-game win
streak snapped in losing both home
games last week, the Utes pushed their
conference record to 6-4.
USC: The Trojans are stumbling at a
bad time in conference play. After win-
ning seven of nine games, they have
now dropped two of their last three to
fall back to 6-4 in conference play.

day to meet UCLA. The Utes split their

‘The LEGO Movie 2’ is entertaining

Lindsey Bahr
ASSOCIATED PRESS

“The LEGO Movie” is a hard act to follow. Its world

was so fresh and vibrant and unexpected, it’s no won-
der that it spawned a number of spinoffs of varying
quality. But the big test was always going to be the se-
quel and whether or not it could recreate the magic of
the first. And I’m pleased to report that “The LEGO
Movie 2: The Second Part “ is pretty darn good, but also
you can’t help shake the feeling that it’s just never go-
ing to live up to the exciting newness of the first.
The script, written by Phil Lord and Christopher
Miller, is once again whip-smart. Jokes and clever pop
culture references whizz by at lightning speed and
you’ll be lucky to catch even half of them on the first
watch. Even the songs (there are a few more this time)
are packed with Lord and Miller wit. And you’ll defi-
nitely want to stay for the credits song which, oddly
enough, is one of the best parts of the movie despite
not really being part of the movie.
But there’s something that’s lost in this round. With
a new director at the helm in Mike Mitchell (“Trolls,”
“Sky High”) you sense sometimes that the film is just
going through the motions. Still, it has charm and Emmet, left, and Rex Dangervest, center, are both voiced by Chris Pratt in “The Lego Movie 2: The Second

Neeson gets revenge in ‘Cold Pursuit’
Bill Goodykoontz
Arizona Republic
USA TODAY NETWORK - Arizona
“Cold Pursuit” is the kind of movie
that places its tongue firmly in cheek –
and then chops off the whole head.
That’s not just a rhetorical device, by
the way; the movie includes a behead-
ing, among other delights.
On the surface, Hans Petter Moland’s
film (a remake of his own 2014 Norwe-
gian movie, “In Order of Disappear-
ance”) is yet another Liam-Neeson-
gets-revenge action thriller. Dig a little
deeper, however, and you’ll find … an-
other Liam-Neeson-gets-revenge ac-
tion thriller. But one with quite a few
laughs thrown in amidst the unlikely
ugly heroics.
Neeson plays Nels Coxman, a snow-
plow operator in a small Colorado town.
He lives in a cabin with his wife, Grace
(Laura Dern, who ones hopes didn’t get
paid by the minute, or word), and their
son, Kyle (Neeson’s real-life son, Mi-
cheál Richardson). The deer carcass
hanging in their freezer is probably fore-
shadowing of some sort, or maybe just a
dietary choice.
Whatever the case, Kyle works as a
baggage handler at the local airport
where, one day after work, he’s kid-
napped and killed by bad guys. Settle
down, this isn’t a spoiler. It’s the engine
that drives the narrative. The killers
pump Kyle full of heroin, so that he dies
of an overdose.
Grace believes that Kyle was leading
a secret life. Nels thinks not, and sus-
pects a sinister motive for his son’s
death. Events conspire for him to find
out some information, just enough that
he becomes a cold-blooded vengeance-
seeking machine, gradually killing his
way up a criminal organization’s ladder.
I know what you’re thinking — that
this sounds like “Taken,” in which Nee-
son plays a regular guy on a killing spree
to find his kidnapped daughter. I
thought it sounded like “Payback,” in
which Mel Gibson did something simi-
lar.
But other plot strands come into play.
The main bad guy is Viking (Tom Bate-
man), an obnoxious snot who inherited
the family business — drug dealing on a

massive scale — from his father. Mean-
while, Viking runs afoul of a Native
American group of drug dealers and
sabotages the peace his father had ne-
gotiated years before. Meanwhile mean-
while, the town’s rookie cop (Emmy
Rossum) smells a rat, and the possibility
of some big-time police work, though
she’s a little slow to piece things togeth-
er.
It’s ridiculous, of course, but it’s
meant to be. Nels proves to be a talented
killer without any prior experience, and

Music
Dan + Shay feel at home in pop world
Kristin M. Hall
ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – More than a week before the

Grammy Awards, country duo Dan + Shay seem pretty
relaxed ahead of the biggest performance of their career
coming up at Sunday’s awards show. Until they start
talking about it.
“I should probably stop talking because I am psyching
myself out now,” said the mop-headed Dan Smyers as he
sits next to Shay Mooney in the Warner Music Nashville
office. “Like, oh my gosh, there’s going to be a lot of peo-
ple watching.”
They’ve just got back from a short European run of
shows and they’ve held the top two spots on Billboard’s
Hot country songs chart for seven consecutive weeks
with the two-time Grammy-nominated hit “Tequila” and
their wedding-themed smash “Speechless.” Their up-
coming headlining tour is mostly sold out and they’ll be
joining Florida Georgia Line as tour openers this sum-
mer.
Their performance is the icing on the cake after an in-
credible year for the duo whose self-titled third record
last year turned them from country radio favorites to pop
crossovers. The multi-platinum swelling piano ballad
“Tequila” reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Adult Top 40
chart and hit their career best of No. 21 on the all-genre The duo Dan + Shay, Dan Smyers, left, and Shay Mooney, have been country radio favorites for a while, but

DOONESBURY FLASHBACK
Peeping nun in the bathroom
stuns retirement home employee
Dear Abby
Jeanne Phillips
Dear Abby: Something happened at work that has
me traumatized. I work at a retirement house for a con-
vent. The nuns are sweet, kind and easy to get along
with. But last week while I was using the bathroom, a
nun decided to be a Peeping Tom while I was on the
toilet. She laughed at me in a taunting manner saying,
“I can see you!” I screamed at her to stop, but she just
kept looking and laughing at me. When she finally left,
I was in shock.
I reported the nun to my supervisor as soon as I
could, but later in the day I was still so humiliated and
upset that I ended up having an anxiety attack. I can’t
stop thinking about it. It left me feeling disgusted with
the nun and with myself.
I want to report her to the police, but I don’t want
drama at work. This is my only source of income. I
need my job in order to provide for my kids, but I no
longer feel comfortable working in a place where there
are perverted nuns who don’t respect people’s privacy.
What do I do? I’m confused and angry, spending my
days in my home crying and contemplating whether to
file a police report. Please give me some advice. –

Dear Traumatized: I hope you realize that the be-

have had good judgment in her younger years, clearly
she does not now. It may be the reason she is living in
that retirement community.
I’m curious about how your supervisor reacted
when you told her what happened. If you cannot move
beyond the trauma, talk to the director of the home
and ask for counseling so you can regain some per-
spective. Filing a police report may not be the way to
go.

ment. My insurance covers her even if I predecease
her, unless she remarries.
My wife now says she wants to carry her own health
insurance because she feels she might want to remarry
sometime after my death. Her new interest about re-
marrying bothers me, and I feel somewhat guilty about
that.
What has me depressed is the question of who she
would want to be buried beside – her new husband or
me. We have been married for 38 years, and the possi-
bility of having a final resting place without her seems
very lonely and like I am being rejected. Your

Paul Webb is Rustin Man again
Pablo Gorondi
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rustin Man, “Drift Code” (Domino)
Paul Webb had been working for
years on a follow-up to his first album as
Rustin Man – “Out of Season,” the stu-
pendous 2002 collaboration with Por-
tishead singer Beth Gibbons – but other
projects kept getting in the way.
Then there was the issue of being
able to perform the sounds in his head,
which led to a lengthy process of learn-
ing several instruments – Webb was the
bass player in Talk Talk – from accor-
dion, harmonica and xylophone to a
wide selection of guitars and key-
boards.
Along the way, Webb recorded musi-
cal fragments on cassette and relied on
the skills of former schoolmate and Talk
Talk drummer Lee Harris during ses-
sions at the barn in southeast England
which serves both as recording studio
and Webb’s family home.

REVIEW
The outcome of the process is “Drift
Code,” where the influence of the rural
setting is felt on songs like opener “Van-
ishing Heart” – a Dear Jane letter –
“Martian Garden” and “All Summer,” as
Webb’s voice turns out to be an eerie,
warts-and-all combination of Robert
Wyatt’s high-pitched oscillations and
David Bowie’s, with the vulnerability it
showed on his last albums.
The drama of the verdict on “Judge-
ment Train” is heard in its sobbing gui-
tar solo and the throbbing percussion
leading the way to doom, while “Our To-
morrows” expresses the desire to slow
time and sounds like a mashup of Jethro
Tull, The Zombies and Ray Manzarek’s
keyboards.
Relying, as well, on brass, string,
woodwind and percussion players, the
songs’ layering avoids saturation and
their themes and melodies are easily ab-
sorbed.

Commendation for Excellence in Teaching
Professor Alison Gash will begin by taking us back to the Court’s humble
beginnings, charting how the Court amassed its power. Through this
lens, Professor Gash will demonstrate why the Court’s makeup can
make or break American public policy. Professor Gash will discuss the
Kavanaugh nomination and increasing partisan discord over Supreme
Court nominations and the implications on the Court’s ability to “put
politics aside” when upholding “the rule of law.” The founding fathers
went to great lengths to insulate the federal judiciary from the passions
of partisanship and majority will in order to preserve its power to hold
politics accountable to a more durable set of principles and values. To
what degree will this be damaged if Court nominations and nominees
become vulnerable to the same partisan strife that characterizes the
political world?
Alison Gash is a political science professor at the University of Oregon,
where she has received several fellowships and grants for her teaching.
She specializes in US Supreme Court and civil rights laws.

Kepler’s ‘Stalker’ is a wild ride

Jonathan Elderfield
ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Stalker: a Novel,”
(Alfred A. Knopf ), by
Lars Kepler
When the lead detec-
tive in a crime novel is in-
troduced as an expert on
“serial killers, spree kill-
ers, and stalkers,” you
know you’re in for a
rough ride. And when
you read the descriptions
of the killings in the early
chapters of “Stalker,”
you’ll feel like you’re
plunging down the first
steep descent on a roller
coaster – you’ll want to
scream with abject ter-
ror. The beginning of the
new book from husband-
and- wife team Alexan-
dra Coelho Ahndoril and
Alexander Ahndoril,
writing as Lars Kepler,
was as gripping as it was
disturbing.
Police in the Swedish
National Criminal Inves-
tigation Department re-
ceive a link to a short
YouTube video showing
a woman in her bedroom,
putting on a pair of black
tights, filmed secretly
from the outside. Soon
after, the woman is
found murdered, her face
mutilated by multiple
stab wounds in a horrific
attack. When a second
video is received, Detec-
tive Margot Silverman
knows a serial killer is on
the loose.
The accounts of the
killings are very explicit,
written in vivid, sicken-
ing detail, and the first
chapters felt excessively

Basking in an Oscar nod, Grant recalls ‘Withnail’

Jake Coyle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – Richard
E. Grant braved a paralyz-
ingly cold night on Thurs-
day to attend a screening
of “Withnail & I,” his cul-
Saturday, February 16 | 3 p.m.
tishly adored film debut, star, Paul McGann, both
in the midst of a whirl- playing hopelessly out-
wind and much-enjoyed of-work actors, spend
campaign for his Oscar- much of 1987’s “Withnail
nominated turn in “Can & I” either freezing, hun-
You Ever Forgive Me?” gry or, most of all, desper-
That it was frigid was ate for a drink. “It’s like
fitting. Grant and his co- Greenland in here,”
Grant’s Withnail says.
“We’ve got to get some
booze.”
If “Withnail” captured
the lowest of ebbs for an
actor, Grant is, 33 years
later, riding the ultimate
high. Once again, it’s for
playing, as he says, “an
alcoholic in a long coat” in
a movie about friendship
and failure. Grant is
nominated for best sup-
porting actor for his Jack
Hock in Marielle Heller’s
1990s New York drama.
Hock is an old acquaint-
ance of biographer Lee Is-
rael (Melissa McCarthy)
who, shortly before she
turns to forgery, is be-
friended by Hock in a bar.
“This and that,” he sum-
marizes his doings in the
lean, intervening years.
“Mostly that.”
But much more than it
has for his characters,
fortune is smiling on
Grant. Even on a dark,
cold night, he was aglow
with a spotlight that has
seldom found him.
“People on the street
smile at you in a way I’ve
never experienced be-
fore,” said Grant, with a
scarf tucked snuggly
around his neck, in an in-
terview before the
screening at the Manhat-
tan repertory sanctuary,
the Film Forum. “I was
walking around SoHo
and even
in this blis-
tering mi-
nus-15 de-
gree cold,
I’ve seen
very
Richard E. friendly
Grant faces look-
ing toward
me. I now accept that
they’re looking at me
rather than looking over
my shoulder at someone
else. That’s a delight.”
Grant’s swooning re-
actions to his Golden
Globes and Oscars nomi-
nations have gone viral,
as has his social-media
exchange with his child-
hood idol, Barbra Strei-
sand. As a 14-year-old
growing up in Swaziland,
Grant wrote Streisand a
letter offering her a two-
week holiday “respite” in
the tiny African country.
Photographs captured
him tearing up when
Streisand responded on
Twitter.
“I know it’s something
you’re supposed to get
over, these teenage ob-
sessions, when you be-
come an adult,” says
Grant. “But clearly I have
the maturity of some-
body who’s 17.”

actor’s career oozing a gentlemanly
charm that often only thinly masks an
eye-popping mania. In his second, sur-

in Advertising,” he played an ad execu-

A kind of revival was kicked off for
Grant a few years ago in a recurring role
on Lena Dunham’s “Girls” and Richard
Shepard’s “Dom Hemingway.” He has a
part in the upcoming “Star Wars” movie.
But the only award Grant ever recalls
being nominated before was a Razzie
(for 1991’s “Hudson Hawk”). So lately,
he’s been “floating on a hovercraft of
disbelief ” – even if he recognizes the
sensation is ephemeral. (He’s con-
vinced Mahershala Ali will win the Os-
car in his category.)
“You shoot a movie for 26 days and
then you’re on a promotional awards
trail, as they call it, for five months, and
you don’t earn any money doing that.
But for me it’s a once-in-a-lifetime
thing,” says Grant. “Yet come February
24 when Mahershala wins, it will be
gone, cheers, tumbleweed.”
Grant, a natural storyteller and daily
diarist, has often turned his exploits as
an actor into finely sculpted Hollywood
tales. Steve Martin, a friend since they
worked together on “L.A. Story,” has
called Grant “a screeching mind, a
stream-of-conscious faucet spewing
sentences – sometimes a mile long.”
Grant has adapted his journals into a
few books, including the memoir “With
Nails,” in which he suggested “movies
operate along the lines of a medieval
court, with despots, divas and duck-
brains.”

BILL PETER LEGRAVE, talks about:

“ROLFING®: And Back Pain”
A Rolf®ed body is more vertically balanced, with the legs more
directly under the torso for better support, the pelvis less tipped
forward, the chest is lifted and symmetrical and the head sitting
directly over the neck and shoulders. In this
alignment, chronic aches and pains often clear up
as the body is positioned and moves in the most
comfortable way.

It was March 2015. A few weeks before, Schneid,

source of side income.
The Marine was being paid to get medicine he

California Dems get as much

attention for SOTU as Trump
Marie McCain
Inside Desert Politics
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK

Welcome to this week’s edition of In-

side Desert Politics, your guide to the
happenings in Coachella Valley, Cali-
fornia and national politics. I’m Marie
McCain, your host.
In this week’s edition; California pols
react to the State of the Union, Palm
Springs becomes a sanctuary city and a
Coachella assemblyman mulls drinking
(clean water).
From House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s
viral clapback at President Trump, to
Xavier Becerra’s sharp Spanish-lan-
guage rebuttal, to Kamala Harris’ less-
than-welcomed “pre-buttal,” California
Democrats have gotten almost as much
attention this week for Tuesday’s State
of the Union address as the president.
Watched by 46.8 million viewers,
Trump’s second SOTU address seemed,
initially, like an attempt to mend fences
with his critics in the wake of the longest
federal government shutdown in U.S.
history.
Many of the president’s opponents
blame him for the shutdown since he let
it happen after failing to convince the
Democrats to support funding for a bor-
der wall.
As he moved through the early parts
of his address, it truly appeared as
though the president was intent on
uniting lawmakers — then he said this:
“But we must reject the politics of re-
venge, resistance and retribution, and
embrace the boundless potential of co-
operation, compromise, and the com-
mon good.”
The line drew applause from Trump’s
supporters, as well as Speaker Pelosi,
who rose from her seat behind the presi-
dent just as he turned to look at her.
The two briefly made eye contact as
Pelosi continued to clap. However, the
way she clapped, coupled with the wry
smile on her face didn’t really look very
complimentary.
Hitting social media, the exchange
quickly went viral.
Pelosi’s daughter, Christine, tweeted
that her mother’s actions were all too fa-
miliar.

2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Stacey Abrams to give the
Democrats’ English-language SOTU re-
buttal and California Attorney General
Xavier Becerra to give the Dems’ Span-
ish-language rebuttal.
Becerra, in an article by Desert Sun
reporter Ricardo Lopez, said Trump has
sowed confusion, hostility and disorder
since taking office two years ago. He
urged U.S. Latinos to vote in 2020 and
promised that should the president
make good on his threat to issue an
emergency declaration to fund his wall,
he’d be in for a fight.
“Not only is it immoral, it’s illegal,”
Becerra said. “We are prepared to reject
this foolish proposal.”
And finally, in a move that even some
of her supporters considered to be fool-
ish and egotistical, California Sen. Ka-
mala Harris who, last month, an-
nounced her bid to become the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee in the 2020
race for president, took to Facebook Live
before the SOTU to give what some
mediareporters have called her “pre-
buttal” to President Trump’s address.
Many of those who objected to Har-
ris’ appearance accused the first-term
senator of hogging the spotlight at the
expense of Abrams, the first African-
American woman chosen to give the
Democratic response to a SOTU ad-
dress.

Jury rules
district fired
worker over
pregnancy
Christopher Damien
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
A jury ruled Thursday that a Coa-
chella Valley Unified School District
supervisor conspired to fire a newly-
hired employee after learning the em-
ployee had become pregnant, and that
the supervisor refused to provide the
employee with legally-required ac-
commodations during her pregnancy.
The jury decided that Hiba Lai, who
had been hired as a contract therapist
for the district in June 2015, is entitled
to $282,580 for lost wages and emo-
tional damages she suffered as an em-
ployee of the district, after she was
fired following a doctor-ordered ma-
ternity leave. An additional judgment
amount will be assessed later to cover
Lai’s legal fees, Lai’s attorney said.
Following the two-week trial, the
jury deliberated for nearly five days,
then determined the district was liable
for Lai’s harassment and that the dis-
trict ultimately terminated Lai in re-
taliation for a complaint she filed

Pregnancy
Continued from Page 3A

when she was terminated for not per-

forming her job properly.
Lai was hired by the district in June
2015 and was scheduled to start in Au-
gust, at the beginning of the next
school year, according to the com-
plaint.
In July, a month before her start
date, Lai learned she was pregnant. Lai
called the district to inform them days
later, according to her lawsuit, and was
told it wouldn’t be an issue.
But when she showed up for her first
day of work in August, Lai said she
didn’t receive the welcome that she ex-
pected.
Lai alleges in the complaint that Lin-
da Smith, Lai’s former supervisor who
is named as a defendant in the case,
confronted her on her first day express-
ing frustration with having to manage a
pregnant employee.
Weeks after starting, Lai gave Smith
a doctor’s note saying she could only
work seven hours a day. She claims
that’s when her supervisor’s frustra-
tion turned into harassment.
Over the next six months, Lai alleges
she suffered verbal abuse from Smith
and received no help from the district’s
human resources department when
she filed a complaint -- the same com-
plaint the jury would later decide led
the district to terminate her.
The workplace stress took a toll,
Lai’s lawyers write in the complaint. On

was causing her.

A jury ruled a Coachella Valley Unified

worker for being pregnant. FILE
On August 11, Lai filed a complaint
with the California Department of Fair
Employment & Housing and filed the
suit against the district on March 6,
2017.
The district filed a response denying
all of Lai’s allegations, arguing that Lai
did not pass the probationary period of
her employment, and claiming they
had “independent and legitimate rea-
sons for terminating” Lai.
Coachella Valley Unified School Dis-
trict did not respond to The Desert
Sun’s request for an interview about
the case.
“Lai perceived that other people
were attacking her, were picking on her
when she was pregnant,” Gayer said. “It
was her perception of what was hap-
pening.”
The reason Lai lost her job, Gayer
contended, was because she wasn’t ful-
filling her responsibilities.
The twelve jurors asked several
questions throughout the four and half
days of deliberation that provided a
view into the difficulty the jury had in
coming to an agreement.

"The experience of Coachella has
been amazing so far," Halle told The
Desert Sun during an interview after
their Weekend 2 set. "Being able to per-
form in front of a crowd that knows the
words to your songs and it's so many
people, it's really surreal and almost
this dreamy feeling and we're just really
grateful."
Chloe added: "It's truly incredible
knowing the music you created in your
living room has now come to live on the
Coachella stage, so its pretty awe-
some."
Coachella isn't the only national
stage they've performed on.
The Atlanta natives sang "America
the Beautiful" at Super Bowl LIII last
weekend. They've also gone on tour
with Beyoncé and are signed to her la-
bel, Parkwood Entertainment.
The "Grown-ish" stars are nominat-
ed for Grammy Awards for Best New
Artist and Best Urban Contemporary
Album.
"As Black women, we are feeling in-
credibly empowered. We’re not afraid
to speak our minds — and we owe that
to all of the beautiful Black women who
came before us and are killing it right
now," Chloe told Essence for this cover

the 2015-2016 school year.
As the next school year approached,
she contacted the district and prepared
to return to work, according to the com-
plaint.
But when she returned on Aug. 2,
2016, district representatives gave her a
letter of termination.
“Lai went from first to worst. The only thing
that changed was that she showed up to work
pregnant and in need of accommodation.”
Rahul Sethi, attorney for fired Coachella Valley Unified School District employee Hiba Lai
The jurors asked the judge to clarify
the legal definition of pregnancy, had
the judge read back portions of testi-
mony, and asked what they were sup-
posed to do if they couldn’t agree on a
dollar amount for the judgment.
But they ultimately notified the
judge of the verdict around 11 a.m. on

stretched from California to Tennessee,

least four states. In Tennessee, two doc-

pleaded guilty to defrauding a military

least one. CFK is owned by another Outside Tennessee, an

company, Walters Holdings LLC, which
in turn is owned by Mississippi busi-
nessman Wade Walters.
Walters is the subject of a criminal in-
vestigation in a separate but similar
case in Mississippi where authorities
have raided at least three of his pharma-
cies and arrested 12 people, including
four pharmacists, a doctor, an oral sur-
geon and two nurse practitioners. Seven
of the accused conspirators have con-
fessed, another was convicted at trial,
and at least three more are expected to
go to trial this year.
Walters has not been indicted in ei-
ther case, but prosecutors have frozen
his assets.
“To maximize profits from the fraud
scheme, the pharmacies created their
own demand for compounded medica-
tions,” prosecutors say in court records.
“The pharmacies illegally engaged a se-
ries of marketers to provide incentives
to doctors to write prescriptions for
compounded medications and divert
patients to the pharmacies.”
To understand the details of this Tri-
care fraud, The Tennessean reviewed
and cross-referenced hundreds of pages
of court documents from 15 separate
federal court cases, including criminal
prosecutions, search warrants, forfei-
ture proceedings and a whistleblower
lawsuit that Schneid filed in an effort to
collect a reward for his discovery.
Schneid’s attorneys would not per-
mit him to comment for this story, but a
Tennessean reporter previously inter-
viewed Schneid and inspected the me-
dicinal creams at his home in 2015.
Court records unsealed last year re-
veal that the federal investigation into

Not long after Schneid began receiv- necessary creams, the cash kickbacks,
®

ing the cream packages in the mail in
2015, he decided to warn the govern-
ment about what he had found.
Sitting in his messy home office, sur-
rounded by paperwork from his long ca-
reer as a private investigator, Schneid
tapped out an email to Tricare’s fraud
department, saying he had uncovered a
“fraudulent multi-level marketing
scheme.”
A Tricare representative responded a
few hours later, believing that Schneid
had found a routine “phishing” scam de-
signed to steal his private information,
according to email records obtained by
The Tennessean. Schneid wrote back,
insisting Tricare was missing the point.
“It’s deeper than that,” Schneid
wrote. “(The Marine) makes a percent-
age of the commission as do the others
that signed him up.”
Suddenly, the government started
listening.
In a matter of days, Schneid had
guests on his doorstep. Eleanor Gailey,
an inspector from the Department of
Defense’s Office of the Inspector Gener-
al, flew to California to inspect the
creams, emails show. She was accom-
panied by officers from the Naval Crimi-
nal Investigative Service, which investi-
gate crimes in the Marine Corps.
In an interview, Schneid said au-
thorities would not reveal exactly what
he had stumbled upon, but he agreed to
help anyway. They made a plan:
the Tennessee doctors, the Utah phar-
macy and the abrupt interest from fed-
eral inspectors.
Suddenly it all made sense.
“I had thought it was just this very lo-
calized fraud,” Schneid said. “It wasn’t
until then I understood the enormity of
this thing.”
The Choice MD conspiracy is far from
the only cream scheme to take advan-
tage of Tricare’s compounded medical
loophole. In June, the U.S. Department
of Justice announced it had charged 601
suspects in a nationwide health care
fraud investigation into dozens of simi-
lar but unconnected fraud schemes,
many of which used compounded medi-
cations and kickbacks to swindle Medi-
care, Medicaid or Tricare. The investi-
gation was called the largest health care
fraud investigation in American history.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to
comment for this story, citing ongoing
investigations in Tennessee, California
and Mississippi. Attorneys for Walters,
Craven, Ashley Collins and CFK either
declined to comment or did not respond
to calls and emails requesting com-

Harris to place deputy
political director in SC
Meg Kinnard ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, S.C. – U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris has
hired a seasoned operative to head her 2020 presi-
dential campaign in South Carolina, her campaign
announced Friday, making a key hire as the competi-
tion for staff and infrastructure in the critical early-
voting state intensifies.
South Carolina native Jalisa Washington-Price will
serve as Harris’ state director and deputy national po-
litical director, the California Democrat’s campaign
said, advising and directing overall political efforts
from her perch in South Carolina.
The strategic move shows the emphasis that Harris
is placing on her campaign in South Carolina, which
holds the first presidential balloting in the South. The
state also is the first place for candidates to test their
messaging in front of a mostly black Democratic pri-
mary electorate.
Most recently, Washington-Price was chief of staff

for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Commit-
tee, where she also directed the Office of Diversity. For
the 2018 midterms, Washington-Price worked to flip
dozens of U.S. House seats that had been held by Re-
publicans into Democratic control.
Previously, Washington-Price also worked on Hil-
lary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, as political director in
South Carolina as well as regionally. Clinton won the
2016 South Carolina primary, defeating U.S. Sen. Ber-
nie Sanders of Vermont.
With the field of 2020 Democratic hopefuls begin-
ning to take shape, several of the campaigns have be-
gun to lay claim to staff in each of the early states and
make plans for substantive visits, following on to ear-
lier, mostly brief introductory trips. Earlier this week,
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey announced di-
rectors and advisers in all of the early states.
Harris also has announced plans to visit those
states and Nevada this month, beginning next week
with a two-day stop to South Carolina.

Lawmaker wants
legislators out of
lobbying business
for at least 5 years
CITY NEWS SERVICE
RIVERSIDE – A Riverside County lawmaker said
Friday that legislation she introduced to bar former
legislators from going into the lobbying business for
at least five years after they leave office would elevate
ethical standards and minimize undue influences.
“We must limit the abuse of authority and exploi-
tation of our positions as legislators,” said Assembly-
woman Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore. “Resi-
dents in my district don’t believe the current restric-
tions go far enough. It’s wholly inappropriate for for-
mer legislators, on both sides of the aisle, to exert
influence on important matters they may have been a
part of before they resigned or left office.”
Melendez said her bill would amend the Milton
Marks Postgovernment Employment Restrictions
Act of 1990, which mandates a one-year ban on lob-
bying activity by former legislators, former elected
heads of state agencies and other state employees
generally.
AB 359 would only apply to former lawmakers,
making it illegal for them to engage in state-level lob-
bying for five years from the date on which the legis-
lative session was adjourned when they retired or left
office.
The impetus for the Milton Marks anti-lobbying
law was to limit the “revolving door” of state officials
getting out of government only to find employment
with firms that put them in a position to rub shoul-
ders with former colleagues for the purpose of gain-
ing favorable treatment for their clients, according to
legislative documents.
The law was one of multiple additions to the Politi-
cal Reform Act of 1974.
“As legislators, we should hold ourselves to a high-
er standard with the primary goal of serving the peo-
ple who elected us to represent them,” Melendez
said. “Our constituents expect us to serve their best
interests.”
AB 359 would require a two-thirds vote of approv-
al by the Legislature to reach the governor’s desk. It
has yet to be assigned to a committee for analysis.

Desert X billboards are popping up

Santa Fe-based

USA TODAY NETWORK

If you’ve driven down Gene Autry

Trail toward I-10, you’ve probably no-
ticed a set of five new billboards along
the road named after Hollywood’s most
famous singing cowboy.
They include a sequence of photo-
graphs depicting Chemehuevi tribal
members. One contains the words, “No
wall.” Another features a Chemehuevi
child standing in front of a set of wind-
mills with dark clouds looming omi-
nously overhead.
They’re part of an installation titled
“Jackrabbit, Cottontail & Spirits of the
Desert” by Santa Fe-based photogra-
pher Cara Romeo, a member of the Che-
mehuevi tribe of the Southwest desert,
for the biennial art exhibition, Desert X.

understand what that means. For Na-
tive Americans, it means our ancestors,
our future generations and our DNA
originate here. Our stories and our
songs emerge from this place since time
immemorial.
There are many local tribes whose
ancestral lands comprise Coachella Val-
ley and it was important to me to re-
connect people to that fundamental
confluence of indigenous people and
the American landscape. And that local
California tribes remain undivided from
the Coachella Valley cultural landscape,
the ecosystem and health of it. We are
ontologically tied to our landscape. Our
spirituality and our existence are insep-
arable from this landscape. And, de-
spite development and 500 years of co-
lonialism, we are still here and we will
always be here. This photographic se-
ries is a visual depiction of our ongoing
presence and our future here. The im-
ages convey our reverence for this land-
scape and convey the dynamics of our
people — our warmth, our courage and
our hearts. They convey an indigenous
connection to our ancestry of this place
and our connection to the ecosystem
that we feel and experience all around
us.
Are the indigenous people in your
photographs California Chemehuevi
members?
Yes, all of the boys are Chemehuevi
tribal members from California and also
carry inter-tribal ancestry from the
southwest. They are also Dine, Ute,
Chemehuevi, Mojave, Opata. I have al-
ways photographed my friends and
family as part of my artistic practices.
That helps me stay true to self and sto-
ries. Authentic Chemehuevis are from a

large ancestral territory — pre-reserva-
tion era — predominantly from the tri-
state areas (of) California, Nevada and
Arizona. We have stories that also go all
the way north to Utah and all the way
south to Mexico. We were once migra-
tory. We consider ourselves descend-
ants from all that area.
Can you explain the concept of the
Chemehuevis on your billboards as
time travelers?
The Chemehuevi boys ... have come
to visit their sister tribes’ lands in good
spirit and friendship. They have come in
a cultural exchange to honor the Coa-
chella landscape, share stories and re-
member their shared songs, family and
memories from here.
As a Chemehuevi woman coming to
this project, I am responsible to differ-
ent cultural protocols. Initially, there
was a big surprise for me in learning that
I was the only Southern California Na-
tive to be invited to participate in a re-
sponse to the landscape. With this in-
credible privilege came a great respon-
sibility to my tribe and to all the tribes of
Coachella. I started my project by writ-
ing a letter to be presented to the Agua
Caliente Tribal Council — letting them
know who I am, a Chemehuevi woman,
and humbly requesting their blessing to
visit as a Chemehuevi artist on their an-
cestral lands in Palm Springs. This is
how we relate to each other and honor
each other’s ancestral lands. I received
permission.
Then it became very important to me
to create a series of photographs that
brought visibility for the local Native
populations and did so respectfully. For
me, it was so important to share the
honor, to participate as well as I could
with my larger California Native family.
It became very stressful, it’s such a big
responsibility. That responsibility guid-
creation of these images.
One of your works says, “No wall.”
That would be an obvious reference to
President Trump’s campaign for a
wall along the Mexican border. But, do
you also want viewers to think about
the figurative walls that have been
put up between the Cahuilla, Cheme-
huevi, Serrano and Mojave sister
tribes, or the Native Americans and
non-Native Americans who inhabit
the Coachella Valley?
“No wall” is a reference to the unnat-
ural wall proposed at the Southern bor-
der. It is a wall that would destroy the
landscape, disrupt ancient ways of life,
destroy ecosystem and the migratory
pathways of resident animals.
All of the tribes from here share a
worldview that we, as human beings,
are joined to the landscape and ecosys-
tem.
We are not separate from it or each
other. And we share the worldview that
our ancestors are here with us, through-
out time and place, and are watching
and experiencing the changes in land-
scape and ecosystem. If all people em-
braced these worldviews, we could be-
gin to have critical, Native-led dialogues
around environment, ecosystems and
borders.
I am attempting to communicate
cross culturally: from our world to the
outside world. I am attempting to ele-
vate the visibility of the local Native
populations and their connection to
landscape. And I wanted to acknowl-
edge our indigenous brothers and sis-
ters from the south — that have also had
a presence in the valley since time im-
memorial. I hope those outside our cul-
tures and our — perhaps — future allies
gain understanding and compassion for
how we are interrelated and how we are
inseparable from the landscape and
each other.

Fowl play caught in the act at Big Bear?

Bald eagles possibly seen
mating on live webcam
Evan Wyloge
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK

Valentine’s Day is just around the

corner and love is in the air – for humans
and birds alike.
A live webcam trained on a bald eagle
nest in California’s Big Bear Valley
broadcast footage of two of the iconic
American birds mating--or at least try-
ing to mate--this week. It only lasted a
few seconds.
The live video, recorded Thursday at
11:38 a.m., shows the male eagle furtive-
ly sidle up to the female, then hop to a
branch in front of the female, let out a
few squawks and flutter its wings, be-
fore swiftly jumping onto the back of the
female for a few seconds.
“While it may have looked like ram-
bunctious play, it was actually mating,
or at least an attempt,” a U.S. Forest Ser-
vice press release said.
“When the underside of his tail went
under her tail for a split second, that was
the mating,” Forest Service biologist
Robin Eliason explained.
After the male hopping off the
female, both eagles let out several more
squawks.

Migrants change tactics at border
Larger groups found
as overall arrests drop
Elliot Spagat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO – Central Americans are
increasingly entering the United States
illegally in groups of at least 100 people
in rugged, remote stretches of the Mex-
ican border, authorities said Friday
upon releasing January figures that
show total arrests fell for a second
straight month.
A group of 325 Central Americans
surrendered to agents Thursday near
Lukeville, Arizona, according to Cus-
toms and Border Protection. Migrants
told authorities that buses and trucks
dropped them off throughout the night
on a nearby Mexican highway that runs
parallel to the border and they entered
the U.S. together to wait for agents to
find them. There were nearly 150 chil-
dren, including 32 who were traveling
alone.
The Border Patrol has encountered
groups of at least 100 people 60 times
since Oct. 1, compared to 13 during the
entire 2018 fiscal year and two in the
2017 fiscal year, officials said. Many are

It is unclear what’s driving the sud-
US to waive environmental reviews for San Diego border wall
Elliot Spagat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO – The Trump admini-
stration on Friday waived environmen-
tal reviews to replace a 14-mile stretch of
border barrier in San Diego, shielding it-
self from potentially crippling delays.
The Department of Homeland Secu-
rity said it would issue the sixth waiver
of Donald Trump’s presidency under a
2005 law that empowers the secretary
to waive reviews required under envi-
ronmental laws if the border barrier is
deemed to be in national security inter-
ests. Those laws include the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air
Act and Endangered Species Act.

The waiver, which was announced
Thursday and published Friday in the
Federal Register, helps clear the way for
work to begin this month on replacing a
second layer of barrier in San Diego, a
steel-mesh wall that worked like a for-
tress when it was built about a decade
ago but is now often breached with pow-
erful battery-operated saws sold in
home improvement stores.
The waivers avoid time-consuming
reviews and lawsuits challenging viola-
tion of environmental laws.

lion contract to SLSCO Ltd. of Galves-
ton, Texas, to build a barrier of 30-feet-
high steel bollards, with options for an
additional $30 million. Work is sched-

cent from 60,779 in December but up 62
percent from 35,905 in January 2018. It
was the second straight monthly de-
cline, though arrests typically fall from
uled to begin this month.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirst-
jen Nielsen said in a public notice that
the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector is
“an area of high illegal entry,” with more
than 38,000 arrests and seizures of
more than 4 tons of marijuana and 1,800
pounds of cocaine in the 2018 fiscal year.
San Diego was the third busiest corridor
for illegal crossings among the Border
Patrol’s nine sectors along the Mexican
border in 2018 after Texas’ Rio Grande
Valley and Tucson, Arizona.
Work on replacing the first layer of
San Diego barrier is nearly complete,

lards up to 30 feet high.

Families and children traveling alone
accounted for 33,861 of those encoun-
ters, or nearly 6 of every 10 stopped at
official crossings or arrested for entering
the country illegally between crossings,
mostly from Guatemala, El Salvador
and Honduras. That’s a dramatic
change from several years ago when
most people who crossed illegally were
single Mexican adults.
The January numbers are unlikely to
swing public opinion either way in
President Trump’s showdown with
Democratic leaders in Congress over
funding to replace and extend border
walls with Mexico. The impasse led to a
five-week partial government shut-
down that ended when Trump agreed to
reopen the government until Feb. 15.
The large percentage of families and
young children has stretched U.S. au-
thorities, even more in remote areas
where staffing is thinner. Customs and
Border Protection says medical atten-
tion was needed about 12,000 times for
border crossers in the 12-month period
ending Sept. 30.
On Jan. 14, a group of 376 Central
Americans was arrested near San Luis,

border, according to authorities.

“Trump is ignoring laws that protect
public health and endangered wildlife
so he can fulfill a hateful campaign
promise,” said Laiken Jordahl, border-
lands campaigner for the Center for Bio-
logical Diversity. “Communities and
ecosystems along the border are being
upended by this militarization, but Bor-
der Patrol won’t even give residents the
decency of a public hearing. This is the
definition of lawlessness.”
President George W. Bush’s admini-
stration issued five waivers, paving the
way for barriers to blanket about one-
third of the border with Mexico. Barack
Obama’s administration didn’t issue
any waivers.

Warrants issued for felon, girlfriend

after road rage confrontation, assault
CITY NEWS SERVICE

BANNING – After they failed to ap-
pear for a scheduled court hearing
Thursday, a judge issued arrest war-
rants for a convicted felon who is ac-
cused with his girlfriend of chasing, pis-
tol-whipping and shooting at a woman
during a road rage confrontation in San
Jacinto.
Jorge Demetrio Beltran, 46, of Los
Angeles and Marisol Andrade, 22, of
Hemet were arrested in May, immedi-
ately after the alleged attack near the
Mt. San Jacinto College campus.
Beltran is charged with assault with a
firearm, shooting at an occupied vehicle
and being a convicted felon in posses-
sion of a gun. Andrade is charged with
aiding and abetting a felony.
Both were free on bonds and were
slated to appear for a preliminary hear-
ing at the Banning Justice Center. How-
ever, when their case was called in the
courtroom of Riverside County Superior
Court Judge Mark Johnson, neither de-
fendant could be found, prompting
Johnson to sign bench warrants for the
pair.
Beltran will now have to post a
$500,000 bond when and if he’s locat-
ed, while Andrade will have to put up a
$50,000 bond.
According to sheriff ’s Sgt. James
Burton, about 2:30 p.m. last May 15, the
defendants began tailing the victim,
identified only as a Moreno Valley wom-
an, after the motorists had an undis-
closed encounter on the Ramona Ex-
pressway.

Street, just south of Mt. San Jacinto, she

State Street and Soboba Road.
“The male suspect exited the passen-
ger side of the BMW and struck the vic-
tim in the face with a silver semi-auto-
matic handgun,” Burton said. “The vic-
tim drove away from the scene to the in-
tersection of Ramona and Sanderson
Avenue, where she observed Beltran fire
three shots toward her vehicle.”
The BMW sped away from the loca-
tion, and the victim followed while call-
ing 911, according to the sergeant.
Andrade lost control and crashed in a
field on the east side of State Street, just
south of Soboba Road, Burton said.
Deputies arrived within a couple of
minutes and arrested both defendants
without a struggle, Burton said, adding
that a .25-caliber handgun was seized
from inside the BMW.
The victim was treated for minor in-
juries but not hospitalized.
According to court records, Beltran
has a conviction in another jurisdiction,
but the offense was not specified. An-
drade has no documented prior felony
convictions.

headquarters amid opposition Vanguard 500IdxAdmrl

Joseph Spector
Albany Bureau
USA TODAY NETWORK
The promise of 25,000 jobs as part of a
new Amazon headquarters in New York
could be in jeopardy because of concerns
over local opposition.
Amazon is reconsidering its decision
last year to announce a massive new
headquarters in Long Island City in
Queens amid growing pushback from lo-
cal leaders and residents, The Washing-
ton Post reported Friday, citing unnamed
sources. New York won the national bid-
ding war along with Virginia last year for
the highly coveted project. New York is of-
fering $3 billion in incentives.
But political leaders, including Rep. Al-
exandria Ocasio-Cortez, have railed
against the public subsidies and concerns
about whether that section of Queens
could handle the influx of people, as well

as what it would do to existing residents.
Amazon, whose founder, Jeff Bezos,
owns The Washington Post, has yet to
lease or purchase office space for the New
York City project, the paper reported.
And it noted that Virginia, unlike New
York, hasn’t raised opposition to its
planned Amazon headquarters.
There was no immediate comment
from Amazon about the report.
Among the hurdles in New York is a lit-
tle-known public authority that will have
some say in the public subsidies promised
for the project. The state Senate recently
appointed Sen. Mike Gianaris, D-Queens,
to the board. Gianaris is one the most vo-
cal opponents of the project.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio have hailed winning
the competition last November, saying the
project will be a boon for the New York
City area. “The Amazon transaction was

tion in 50 years in this state — 25,000
jobs, average salary $150,000,” Cuomo
said Tuesday. “It was a national competi-
tion; it went on for years. States and cities
all across the country were competing for
it. We don’t get a business to come with
25,000 jobs anymore. I spend hours and
days trying to get 100 jobs, 200 jobs.”
Cuomo said if New York didn’t offer the
incentives, Amazon would have gone
somewhere else.
Cuomo said the state’s $3 billion will
translate into a $30 billion investment by
Amazon. “I don’t see how they do that
math, because we’re not giving him
$3 billion,” Cuomo said of critics. “He’s
giving us $30 (billion). But take political
math. We shouldn’t give it to him, then
they will leave, and they have said that if
they are not wanted, they will leave. They
had hundreds of cities competing here for
them. This is the wrong issue for the Sen-
ate to play politics.”

Premium seats Joan Bardwell IN BRIEF

Continued from Page 19A
seats for the entire journey. United does not. As a re-
sult, we have a low share of premium Bentonville
passengers to the world,” Nocella said.
In an example United hopes to replicate in similar
markets across its network, Nocella said the carrier’s
CRJ 550s will be added to its service from Bentonville
to Chicago, “connecting to our flights to China and
the rest of our … global network.”
“We’ll attract more premium passengers to our
network as a result,” he said.
United will deploy its first CRJ 550s at its Chicago
hub, adding them on routes of less than 900 miles
with high premium demand. Next, they’ll be added to
the schedules at United’s hub in Newark, New Jersey.
Nocella declined to identify other United markets
that might be a good fit for the CRJ 550 beyond Ben-
tonville, saying only that they’d be announced at a
later date.
As another piece of the initiative, United also
will increase the number of first- and business
-class seats on some of its Boeing 767 widebody jets
and on all of its single-aisle Airbus A319 and A320
jets.
On 21 of its Boeing 767-300ERs that typically fly
medium-distance international routes, United says it
will grow its “Polaris” business-class cabin to 46 lie-
flat seats, up from 30.
United will reconfigure the planes with 22 of its
new “Premium Plus” international-style recliner
seats that split the difference between business class
and economy. It will be the first time that United’s
Boeing 767s get the Premium Plus seats, which were
first introduced last year on the airline’s Boeing 787-
10 Dreamliners.
United’s new international-style “Premium Plus”
premium economy seats were seen on its first Boeing
787-10 Dreamliner at Washington Dulles on Nov. 16.
With the overhaul, the seating capacity on the 21
reconfigured Boeing 767s will drop to 167 from the
current 214.
United initially plans to fly the reconfigured 767s
between its hub in Newark to London Heathrow “as
our primary focus and later on other premium mar-
kets.”
The first reconfigured 767 will begin flying for
United this month, with the effort continuing into
2020.
United will continue to fly some Boeing 767s with
their current seating arrangements, with Nocella
saying those will operate “to Europe and South
American destinations with lower levels of premium
demand.”
“By operating two distinct 767-300 interior config-
urations, we can meet demand profiles across many
routes while satisfying more premium demand on
high-frequency routes to a destination like London
Heathrow,” Nocella said.
On its single-aisle Airbus jets, United’s first-class
cabin on the A319 will grow to 12 seats from eight,
while the A320’s will go to 16, up from 12.
Nocella said upgrades were a consideration in
making the change. United’s A319s and A320s are
similarly sized to its Boeing 737s, most of which have
16 to 20 seats in the first-class cabin.

Grab a soda and go: Stores get more convenient
More companies ready
to sideline cashiers
Michael Liedtke and Joseph Pisani
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO – Get ready to say
good riddance to the checkout line.
A year after Amazon opened its first
cashier-less store, startups and retail-
ers are racing to get similar technology
in stores throughout the world, letting
shoppers buy groceries without waiting
in line.
If they work, cashier-less stores will
not only save time but maybe money
too. From cameras and sensors, the
stores will know when shoppers pick up
a product and put it down, and can send
them a discount to tempt them to buy it.
Merchants will receive more insights
into how people shop. They can create
more space for merchandise, better
track when shelves need replenishing
and draw more business from the
hordes of customers who detest long
lines.
But the monitoring system underly-
ing cashier-less technology is bound to
raise new privacy issues and worries
about customer data falling into the
wrong hands, especially if stores deploy
facial recognition software in the omni-
present cameras watching shoppers.
“It could be scary, and it could be
creepy,” said Peter Trepp, CEO of Face-
First, a Los Angeles company that so far
has only sold its facial recognition tools
to retailers trying to identify shoplifters
and other criminals. “But if it’s used to
give people a 30 percent coupon on
something they want that is going to be
a nice benefit. That kind of experience
will help people embrace the technol-
ogy.”
Amazon has a head start in the U.S.,
opening 10 convenience stores in three
cities: Chicago, San Francisco and Seat-
tle. The stores sell salads and sand-
wiches for lunch, everyday items like
toilet paper and pain relievers, and gro-
ceries such as breakfast cereal and raw
ground beef.
Shoppers scan an app to enter the
Amazon Go store, grab what they want
and walk out. Cameras and sensors on
the ceiling track what’s taken so their
credit or debit cards are charged auto-
matically when they leave. Shoppers
will know how long it took to shop, since

Amazon sends an alert with their shop-
ping time.
“It was just a phenomenal experi-
ence,” said Tom Hadfield, who bought a
Coke Zero in a minute and five seconds
at one of the Go stores in San Francisco
while visiting the city recently.
Hadfield, who runs a technology
startup in Austin, Texas, said it remind-
ed him of the first time he rode an Uber.
“You just know it’s going to be the fu-
ture,” he said.
Amazon doesn’t say how much mon-
ey its cashier-less stores make. But ana-
lysts from RBC Capital Markets recently
visited Amazon Go’s two San Francisco
stores to come up with a number. Based
on their observations of traffic patterns,
they estimated about 400 to 700 cus-
tomers per day will visit each of the
roughly 2,000-square-foot Amazon Go
stores, generating sales of $1.1 million to
$2 million annually, assuming an aver-
age purchase of $10. At the high end of
that range, it works out to twice the
sales of a typical U.S. convenience store,
RBC calculated.
Several startups are pitching tech-
nology to retailers who want to create
Amazon Go-like stores of their own. One
of the companies, called AiFi, says it has
signed deals with the Carrefour chain in
France and Zabka convenience stores in
Poland. Others, including Zippin, Gra-

last year that have held invitation-only
demonstrations or been open for limited
hours with a scant selection of mer-
chandise.
“I like the idea of being able to come
into a store, grab what you want and just
walk out,” says Tomonori Nishimura, a
30-year-old researcher for Fujitsu Lab-
oratories after getting a $4.86 bag of Fu-
nyuns at Standard’s small store in San
Francisco recently.
Amazon appears the most likely to
make cashier-less stores a more com-
mon sight, partly because it can afford
to open stores with the technology al-
ready built into them, given its current
market value of about $800 billion –
ranking among the most valuable com-
panies in the world.
But the country’s biggest retailers are
also trying to speed up the shopping
process. Sam’s Club, the warehouse-
style club owned by Walmart, opened a
test store in Dallas that has no cashiers.
Instead, shoppers use their smart-
phones to scan products and pay. 7-
Eleven is testing something similar at 14
stores in Dallas.
“Waiting in line is torture,” said 7-
Eleven’s Gurmeet Singh, the company’s
chief digital officer and chief informa-
tion officer.
Though, he added, there are no plans
to get rid of cashiers. He wants people to
have a choice on how they pay.

cal pressure to ensure they still offer an

revenue category includes a range of
fees such as in-flight Wi-Fi and alcohol-
ic beverages, pet fees, unaccompanied
minor fees and baggage fees of all sorts,
but the the biggest source of fee revenue
for Southwest is its 10-year-old Early-
Bird Check-In option.
For $15, $20 or $25 one way per per-
son depending on the route, passengers
who buy EarlyBird Check-In get a higher
position in Southwest’s boarding line.
Boarding order is critical on Southwest
because the airline famously doesn’t as-
sign seats. Passengers are free to pick
any open seat when they board.
Southwest didn’t break out the total
for EarlyBird check-in fees in 2018, but it
did in 2017 and that year the fees totaled
$358 million, or 63 percent of the total
passenger fee revenue.
Southwest President Tom Nealon
said in January that EarlyBird revenue
and another priority boarding option
called Upgraded Boarding each grew by
double-digit percentages in 2018. Using
a conservative 10 percent year-over-
year gain, that puts EarlyBird revenue
approaching $400 million for 2018.
Southwest used to charge a flat $15
fee each way for EarlyBird Check-In, but
switched to variable pricing in August.
at the time. “Of course, an increase in
the price of a product is rarely welcome
news, but as EarlyBird increases in pop-
ularity, we want to protect the value it
offers our customers.”
A USA TODAY spot check of flights
found that the EarlyBird fee on many
routes went up.
Nealon said in January that the air-
line has been pleased with the results
from the switch to variable pricing.
Southwest also increased its Upgrad-
ed Boarding fee in 2018. That option,
which guarantees travelers a spot at the
front of the line, is available on select
flights and is $30, $40 or $50 each way
at the gate. Southwest has not publicly
disclosed Upgraded Boarding revenue.
Southwest’s EarlyBird and Upgraded
Boarding fees are essentially seat selec-
tion fees, which have become common
at other carriers and are an increasing
source of frustration for travelers.
Without charging for the first two
checked bags, Southwest still lags its
competitors on the fee front, of course.
American Airlines, for example, collect-
ed $911 million in baggage fees in the
first nine months of 2018 alone, accord-

tistics. And United’s baggage fee take in

I haven’t interfered
in probe, Whitaker says
Acting AG spars with
House Democrats
Kevin Johnson and Bart Jansen
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – Acting Attorney
General Matthew Whitaker declared to
Congress on Friday that he had not in-
terfered with special counsel Robert
Mueller’s investigation and that his
handling of the case had been “indepen-
dent of any outside interference.”
“I have not interfered in any way with
the special counsel’s investigation,”
Whitaker told the House Judiciary
Committee during a combative hearing
in which lawmakers pressed him for de-
tails on his handling of the criminal in-
vestigations surrounding President
Donald Trump.
In more than four hours of sworn tes-
timony Friday, Whitaker sought to an-
swer criticisms that have shadowed his
time leading a Justice Department con-
ducting tandem criminal investigations
surrounding the president. Whitaker is
a close ally of Trump, and Democrats
have suggested he might have been cho-
sen for the job because he had publicly
criticized Mueller’s probe before being
put in a position to lead it.
Whitaker said he had “not talked to
the president of the United States about
the special counsel.” He said he had not
discussed it with any other senior White
House officials and had not denied in-
vestigators resources to do their work
and suggested to the committee’s chair-
man, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., that he
had not stepped in to thwart any of the
steps Mueller planned to take in his in-
vestigation.
US to investigate Enquirer over Bezos
Michael R. Sisak, Michael Balsamo
and Zeke Miller
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – Federal prosecutors are
looking into the National Enquirer’s
handling of a story about Amazon CEO
Jeff Bezos’ extramarital affair to see
whether the tabloid’s publisher violated
a cooperation agreement with prosecu-
tors, two people familiar with the matter
told The Associated Press on Friday.
Bezos claims the Enquirer’s publish-
er, American Media Inc., tried to extort
and blackmail him. In an extraordinary
blog post published Thursday on Medi-
um.com, Bezos said AMI threatened to
publish intimate photos of him unless
he stopped investigating how the En-
quirer obtained his private exchanges
with his mistress.
Prosecutors now are looking at
whether AMI violated an earlier agree-
ment in which it promised not to break
any laws in exchange for avoiding pros-
ecution for campaign finance viola-
tions, the people familiar with the mat-
ter said. They weren’t authorized to dis-
cuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP
on condition of anonymity.
The high-profile clash has pitted the
world’s richest man against the leader
of America’s best-known tabloid, who is
a strong backer of President Donald
Trump. Bezos’ investigators have sug-
gested the Enquirer’s coverage of his af-

Stone says he should be free

WASHINGTON – A federal judge

public statements about his criminal
case in the Russia investigation, his at-
torneys said Friday. Lawyers for Stone, a
political consultant who has made a ca-
reer out of attention-seeking politics,
say in a new court filing that any limits
on their client’s comments would in-
fringe on his right to free speech. U.S.

sides talking about the case.

So far, Whitaker said, “there has been
no event – no decision – that has re-
quired me to take any action” in the
case.
Still, in his first and likely only ap-
pearance before Congress as the attor-
ney general, Whitaker told lawmakers
that he would not give them any more
detail about his conversations with
Trump, sparring with House Democrats
eager to know whether the White House
had sought to interfere in the investiga-
tions centered on the president. He also
repeatedly declined to give them more
specific information about Mueller’s in-
vestigation because it is ongoing.
“Your failure to respond fully to our
questions here today in no way limits
the ability of this committee to get an-
swers in the long run, even if you are a
private citizen when we finally learn the
truth,” Nadler said.
Jeff Bezos, says the National Enquirer
threatened to publish nude photos of
him unless his private investigators
backed off the tabloid. CLIFF OWEN/AP
fair was driven by dirty politics.
A spokesman for AMI did not imme-
diately return a message seeking com-
ment on the investigation, and the U.S.
attorney’s office in Manhattan declined
to comment. Earlier Friday, AMI said it
“acted lawfully” while reporting the sto-
ry and that it engaged in “good faith ne-
gotiations” with Bezos.
Bezos did not say the tabloid was
seeking money – instead, he said, the
Enquirer wanted him to make a public
statement that its coverage was not po-
litically motivated.
The company has admitted in the
past that it engaged in what’s known as
“catch-and-kill” practices to help

Democrats pressed Whitaker about
whether he agreed with Trump’s char-
acterizations of the investigation he
has frequently dismissed as a hoax
and a witch hunt. “Are you overseeing
a witch hunt?” asked Rep. Steve Co-
hen, D-Tenn.
Whitaker said it would be “inappro-
priate for me to comment on an ongo-
ing investigation.”
The much-anticipated confronta-
tion lived up its billing as the first ma-
jor clash between the White House
and Democrats who took control of the
House of Representatives in January.
The hearing came days after Trump
used his State of the Union speech
Tuesday to criticize “ridiculous parti-
san investigations.”
The Senate could move as early as
next week to confirm his permanent
replacement, William Barr.
Trump become president. Trump has
been highly critical of Bezos and the
The Washington Post’s coverage of the
White House. (Bezos owns the Post.)
“Of course I don’t want personal
photos published, but I also won’t par-
ticipate in their well-known practice of
blackmail, political favors, political at-
tacks, and corruption,” Bezos wrote of
AMI, in explaining his decision to go
public. “I prefer to stand up, roll this
log over, and see what crawls out.”
The Bezos affair became public
when the Enquirer published a Jan. 9
story about his relationship with Lau-
ren Sanchez, a former TV anchor who
is also married. Bezos then hired a
team of private investigators to find
out how the tabloid got the texts and
photos the two exchanged.
Bezos’ personal investigators, led
by his longtime security consultant,
Gavin de Becker, concluded that Be-
zos’ phone wasn’t hacked. Instead,
they’ve been focusing on Sanchez’s
brother, according to a person familiar
with the matter.
De Becker and his team suspect Mi-
chael Sanchez, a talent manager who
touts his support of Trump and is an
acquaintance of Trump allies Roger
Stone and Carter Page, may have pro-
vided the information to the Enquirer,
the person said. The person wasn’t au-
thorized to discuss the matter publicly
and spoke on condition of anonymity.
US peace envoy says talks
with Taliban far from finished
WASHINGTON – The Trump admini-
stration’s peace envoy for Afghanistan
says that although his talks with the Ta-
liban have produced a tentative “frame-
work” agreement, the negotiations have
a long way to go. Zalmay Khalilzad said
Friday that there is time to make a final
deal before Afghanistan’s presidential
election in July. But he also stressed
that many issues remain to be resolved.
He said the Taliban’s top priority is the
withdrawal of U.S. troops, whereas the
U.S. wants to ensure Afghanistan never
again becomes a haven for extremists.

USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – A deeply divided
Supreme Court on Thursday tempora-
rily blocked abortion restrictions in
Louisiana that critics complained
were virtually identical to those struck
down by the justices in 2016.
Although the court’s new conserva-
tive majority may be poised to uphold
more limits on abortion in the future,
the Louisiana law’s similarity to one
the justices thwarted in Texas less
than three years ago apparently sealed
its fate, at least for now.
The court could still uphold the law
after further review, giving President
Donald Trump something to show for
his 2016 pledge to appoint “pro-life
justices.”
The action gave abortion rights pro-
ponents, as well as women seeking
procedures, a reprieve from a law that
critics said threatened to leave just one
abortion clinic and provider in busi-
ness to serve an estimated 10,000
women.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined
the court’s four liberals in blocking the
law. Four conservatives objected, and
new Associate Justice Brett Kava-
naugh said the law should be imple-
mented now so that both sides can find
out how many abortion clinics and
providers survive the new restrictions.
The Louisiana law requires abor-
tion providers to have admitting privi-
leges at nearby hospitals.
Seattle getting
week’s second
snowstorm
Doyle Rice
USA TODAY
Seattle was bracing Friday for its
second snowstorm of the week.
And with yet another snowstorm
forecast for early next week, Seattle-
area meteorologist Cliff Mass said the
storms could be “one of greatest snow
events in decades.”
A winter storm warning has been is-
sued for the Seattle area. Up to half a
foot of snow was possible throughout
the region from the Friday-Saturday
storm. Officials warned travel could be
very difficult.
“If you can, work from home,” Mass
advised. “Use light rail if you are in Se-
attle. If you drive to work or school,
head home early. ... And if you drive,
park in a location that will avoid hills.”
The first snowstorm, earlier this
week, dropped 2.7 inches on Seattle.
The city averages only 0.7 inch of snow
each February.
“This February in Seattle is going to
be remembered for brutal winter
weather for many folks not used to it,”
said Weather.us meteorologist Ryan
Maue.

Softball prepared me
for the game of life
Your Turn
Kristin Scharkey
Palm Springs Desert Sun
College softball season began on Thursday.
When I was a student-athlete, I remember opening
day feeling like Christmas morning as a kid.
Starting in 2009, I played the outfield for North-
western University. Our team traveled to Arizona this
first week in February to escape Chicago’s frozen tun-
dra. For the previous five months, we’d practiced in-
doors on turf. Running on real grass under a Tempe
sky was as close to a high as I came during those four
years under a regime of NCAA athlete drug testing.
When I stepped on campus, I was a wide-eyed
freshman with dreams of being a journalist. I left my
hometown in Orange County and moved halfway
across the country to a city where attending a Cubs
game isn’t a luxury but a rite of passage. On my first
day of practice, I was so nervous when head coach
Kate Drohan asked me to play left field that I ran to
right.
I can’t believe I’m telling you that.
Luckily, I grew up fast. I learned how to write an
essay on a 13-hour bus ride to Penn State. I figured out
the most efficient way to make an ice bath in any type
of hotel bathtub.
When associate head coach (and Kate’s identical
twin) Caryl Drohan said I’d lose at-bats if I didn’t in-
troduce myself to USA Today sports columnist Chris-
tine Brennan during a women’s volleyball game, I
crossed Welsh-Ryan Arena and shook her hand.
“After suffering a broken wrist in a collision during
the first game of the NCAA Regional Championship
Round against No. 8 Texas (5/20), came back to start
the ‘if necessary’ game and make four putouts in cen-
ter,” is a favorite gem plucked from my junior year bio.
At some point during my career, Kate handed our
team a list of “commandments” in pre-season note-
books. I treated them devoutly — at first because my
palms started to sweat every time she looked at me;
later, because I believed in them.
Kate taught me that getting out of my comfort zone
is vital to personal growth.
No. 1: “Go to class. Practice academic integrity.”
Also: “Be on time.” “Do what you say you’re going to
do.” “Attitude is a choice.” “If you say, ‘I can’t,’ you’re

Seeing bias in America
Americans have still not come to a point in their his-
tory that will make them understand how terrible slav-
ery was. It brought Africans to a very white nation that
could not accept human beings because they were so
different in appearance. Fear of the black slaves kept
white Americans in a warp of misjudging, misunder-
standing, misreading.
The newest bias is for brown people.
Black people will suffer the indignities, hate and in-
tolerance as long as whites do not accept the fact that
their black brothers and sisters bleed the same, love
the same, hate the same, as they do.
Thank goodness I did not grow up in a country that
pitted black skin against white skin. The first time I
saw a black person was when I lived in West Germany.

drug trafficking. (As I believe Democrats excessively
dismiss their value.)
Unfortunately, he indelibly marred the speech by a
quintessential Trumpism: The assertion that, if he
weren’t president, the country would be at war with
North Korea.
That’s the sort of vainglorious indulgence that
politicians just don’t make, even if true.
And in this instance, there isn’t much of a case
that it is true.
The odds that any of Trump’s 2016 rivals, Demo-
crat or Republican, would have gone to war with
North Korea are vanishingly small.
Given how close the North and South Korean pop-
ulations are located, and the hair-trigger status of ar-
maments, the casualties in any comprehensive con-
flict would be enormous. Undoubtedly, other presi-
dents would still be trying to contain and redirect
North Korea through sanctions and multiparty nego-
tiations. And attempting, undoubtedly unsuccess-
fully, to play the China card against North Korea.
Moreover, North Korea has always calibrated its
extortionist provocations to fall short of triggering an
armed response.
What’s weird about the act of vainglory is that
Trump has legitimate, non-hyperbolized bragging
rights on North Korea. What Trump has accom-
plished is underappreciated.
The suspension of missile testing by North Korea
is huge. Right now, Kim Jung-un doesn’t know if his
missiles could deliver a nuclear weapon to the United
States. Without additional testing, he can’t know.
That uncertainty is a big security gain for the U.S.
That security gain is probably attributable to the
personal diplomacy Trump has engaged in with Kim.
Other, more conventional presidents probably
wouldn’t have met with Kim essentially without pre-
conditions. And missile testing might be continuing.
Trump referred to the lack of missile tests. But the
import of that was lost in his assertion that he, and he
alone, stood between war and peace.
That Trump could not control himself, even in an
otherwise button-down staged speech, illustrates his
political problem.
Ronald Reagan was always more popular than his
policies. Trump is less popular than his policies.
Better to be on Reagan’s side of that equation.

24th week of pregnancy.
2. The abortion is “necessary to protect the pa-
tient’s life or health.”
3. There is an absence of “fetal viability,” or the abil-
ity of the fetus to survive outside of the womb.
The first 2 are rights guaranteed by Roe vs. Wade. As
to No. 3, I have had two friends whose babies were de-
veloping without a brain. These babies can occasion-
ally be carried to term (most naturally miscarry), but
they cannot ever survive. This sad dilemma is one of
the examples of fetal viability.
Late term abortions are extremely rare. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention have released sta-
tistics the about 1.3 percent of all abortions occur after
the 21st week of pregnancy.
Abortions are a serious and sad decision for any
woman. Please respect their decision as it is not made
without careful consideration.

1 killed in Southern California
police shooting
BANNING – Riverside County homi-
cide detectives are investigating a fatal
shooting by a Banning police officer
during disturbance call at a home.
The Sheriff ’s Department says sever-
al Banning officers responded to the dis-
turbance late Thursday night and were
attempting to detain a male suspect
when he was struck by gunfire from one
officer.
The suspect died at a hospital. His
name was not immediately released.
The officers were not injured.
Snowbound Sierra Nevada
lodge guests rescued
KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARK –
More than 120 visitors and staff who be-
came snowbound in a Sierra Nevada re-
sort due to recent storms have been
freed.
The U.S. Forest Service says snow
trapped the guests and staff at a lodge at
Montecito Lake in Kings Canyon Na-
tional Park.
It wasn’t immediately clear how long
everyone had been stuck, but a Forest
Service statement says crews traveled
by snowmobile to the lodge Wednesday
morning to ensure everyone was safe
and then returned Thursday with sup-
plies.
Heavy equipment and crews then
cleared 8 miles of snow and more than
20 fallen trees on Generals Highway.
National Park Service personnel be-
gan escorting visitors down the moun-
tain at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
The first convoy included 25 vehicles
and 92 guests.
More snow is headed to the Sierra.
Storm runoff coats
beaches with trash
SEAL BEACH – The storms that have
been blanketing California’s mountains
with much-needed snow and filling res-
ervoirs have also been flushing all sorts
of urban trash down rivers and drains,
making a mess of beaches.
Bottles, diapers, syringes and more
have washed ashore along Southern
California, giving some sandy stretches
the appearance of trash dumps.
Near the mouth of the San Gabriel
River, Seal Beach was particularly hard-
hit after the last round of stormy weath-
er.
Trash is strewn along the sand south of the San Gabriel River in Seal Beach
Monday. The storms have been flushing all sorts of urban trash down rivers and
drains, making a mess of beaches. JEFF GRITCHEN/THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER VIA AP
Save Our Beach board member Greg
Fellers tells the Los Angeles Times it
was “disgusting” and “looked like a
landfill.”
Volunteers made a dent in the mess
by gathering debris into mounds for re-
moval by front-end loaders.
Gloves and bags will be handed out to
those who show up for a beach-cleaning
event on Saturday.
Teen arrested in rape, killing
of Modesto care home resident
MODESTO – Police in central Califor-
nia have arrested teenager in the 2017
murder and rape of a woman who lived
at a mental health facility and was at-
tacked while taking a walk.
The Modesto Bee reports detectives
Thursday arrested 18-year-old Seth
Becknel in the killing of 41-year-old Jen-
ny Wu.
Police say Wu had been reported
missing the evening before her killing
from nearby Modesto Residential Living
Center, a mental health facility. Investi-
gators believe she was out for a walk
when she was attacked.
Her body was found the next morn-
ing in an alley. She had been asphyxiat-
ed.
Detectives collected DNA as part of
their investigation and recently got a
match from the Department of Justice
Crime that, along with other evidence,
led to the Becknel’s arrest.
It was not immediately clear if Beck-
nel has retained an attorney.
Woman accused of vandalizing
church during spree
WATSONVILLE – A woman has been
arrested after surveillance video caught
her toppling a crucifix statue and de-
stroying other religious artwork in a
Northern California church.
Watsonville Police said 23-year-old
Jackeline Chavira caused at least
$15,000 in damages at St. Patrick’s
Church.
Police said Chavira went on a ram-
page Wednesday in which she went into
two downtown stores, grabbed a reli-
gious statue and broke it. Video showed
her walking into the church and pushing
the 15-foot crucifix to the floor.
Police said Chavira then ran next
door to a prayer room where she threw
another religious statue on the ground
and ripped down two large pieces of art.
A witness later spotted her on the
street. She was taken into custody and
booked on suspicion of vandalizing a
place of worship.
DEA: Meth pills stamped with
Minions, Trump, Kool-Aid logo
SACRAMENTO – Federal drug agents
say they’ve bought or seized thousands
of methamphetamine pills shaped like
movie Minions or stamped with the
likeness of President Donald Trump or
Kool-Aid’s smiling pitcher logo.
The Drug Enforcement Administra-
tion said Friday that undercover agents
traced the pills to Henry Benson and Ro-
selle Cipriano, who run a home for the
elderly in Vallejo.
They were arrested Thursday, when
agents seized 31 pounds of suspected
meth tablets, about 17 pounds of sus-
pected methamphetamine, a shotgun
and a pill press.
Benson and Cipriano were ordered
detained at a federal court appearance
Friday.
Benson’s attorney, Olaf Hedberg,
said it’s too soon to comment. Cipria-
no’s attorney, Jessica Graves, didn’t re-
turn messages.
The DEA says the care home remains
open and medical staff are caring for the
residents.
Police: Suspect opened fire at
Sacramento funeral, wounding 1
SACRAMENTO – Police are search-
ing for a masked suspect they say
walked into a Sacramento church and
started shooting during a funeral ser-
vice.
KTXL-TV reports police say the
masked man walked into First Church of
God Thursday and opened fire, wound-
ing a person on the leg.
A motive behind the shooting has not
been reported but Sacramento Police
Sgt. Matthew McPhail says the shooter
appeared to only target the funeral at-
tendee who was shot.
He says there were over 100 people
inside the church for the funeral.
Man fatally shot by CHP on
Interstate 5 in Kern County
BAKERSFIELD – A man was fatally
shot in a pre-dawn confrontation with
California Highway Patrol officers on a
rural stretch of Interstate 5 in the San
Joaquin Valley.
Kern County sheriff ’s spokeswoman
Angela Monroe tells reporters two CHP
officers responded to a report of a crash
shortly before 5 a.m. Friday and found a
vehicle that had knocked over a light
pole west of Bakersfield.
Monroe says the officer-involved
shooting occurred when a man claiming
to have a gun approached the officers,
did not comply with orders and had one
hand concealed.
Medical aid was rendered but the
man died. Monroe says he has not been
identified yet.
It’s not clear whether both officers
fired and whether the man actually had
a weapon. Monroe says it’s early in the
investigation.

Sprint sues AT&T over company’s use of ‘5G E’
Carrier says claim
is false advertising
Eli Blumenthal
USA TODAY
AT&T’s calling its latest 4G LTE net-
work “5G E” isn’t just drawing the ire of
tech media and fans. It’s now drawing
fire from Sprint in the form of a lawsuit.
In a lawsuit filed in New York’s
Southern District, Sprint says it is tak-
ing the action as a result of “AT&T’s false
advertising and deceptive acts” around
5G E.
Since late last year, AT&T has been
touting its upgraded 4G LTE network as
5G E in TV ads, ramping up the running
of the spots in 2019.
AT&T, Sprint alleges, “has sought to
gain an unfair advantage in the race to
5G by embarking on a nationwide ad-
vertising campaign to deceive consum-
ers into believing that its existing 4G
LTE Advanced network is now a 5G net-

“This technology is indisputably not
5G,” Sprint’s suit continues. “Adding an
‘E’ or the word ‘Evolution’ to 5G does not
mitigate the deception. AT&T is adver-
tising its network as ‘5G’ and consumers
wrongly believe that AT&T is offering 5G
technology.”
In addition to its television cam-
paign, AT&T’s website also now has a
section for “5G E” phones. This includes
phones released last year like the Gal-
axy S9, iPhone XR and iPhone XS as well
as older phones like the Galaxy S8,
iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
In updates to its Android phones,
AT&T has already changed some de-
vices to display a 5G E logo. A recent be-
ta of iOS 12.2 shows the company is
working with Apple to show the indica-
tor on iPhones as well.
In a statement provided to USA TO-
DAY, Sprint says that “AT&T is deliber-
ately deceiving consumers into believ-
ing that their existing 4G LTE network
operates on a coveted and highly antici-
pated 5G network. The reality is that

Long-term-care rape in Arizona
spurs video surveillance push
There is some
disagreement about
cameras’ effectiveness
Terry Tang
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX – Arizona is trying to catch
up to 10 states with laws allowing elec-
tronic monitoring and other technology
aimed at deterring abuse of vulnerable
people at long-term-care facilities, fol-
lowing the rape of an incapacitated
Phoenix woman who later gave birth.
Cameras are most commonly used,
but they pose privacy issues, and advo-
cates and experts disagree about their
effectiveness.
Some say video surveillance can help
in criminal cases but may not stop at-
tacks, while others have seen improve-
ments and urge any effort to safeguard
those who are aging, sick, disabled or
otherwise unable to protect themselves.
The Arizona House is considering a
measure that would let certain facilities
install video surveillance in common
areas. The providers would have to de-
tail how to avoid privacy violations.
“We’re looking into how to make it so
parents have more reliable ways to en-
sure their loved ones are safe,” said Re-
publican Rep. Nancy Barto, the mea-
sure’s sponsor. “I’m learning a lot of
group homes already do this. Some of
those policies are actually working.”
Arizona would join Illinois, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maryland, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Virginia and
Washington with laws or regulations al-
lowing surveillance equipment inside
nursing homes, assisted living centers
and other group residential settings.
Most of those laws place the option
and cost of electronic monitoring on
residents and their guardians. A major-
ity of the laws say residents or their sur-
rogates can put a camera or monitoring
device in their rooms but must notify
the facility, among other conditions.
Carole Herman, founder of the advo-
cacy group Foundation Aiding the El-
derly, is not sure cameras would have
helped her aunt, who died of bedsores in
a nursing home, but said that they

might be useful in other cases.
Cameras in hallways can show who is
at a patient’s bedside and how often the
patient is getting care, she said. She
questions why any facility would op-
pose them.
“The industry doesn’t want it, obvi-
ously,” Herman said. “But if they care
about these people, what’s the resis-
tance to these cameras?”
Nicole Jorwic, director of rights pol-
icy at The Arc, a national advocacy
group serving people with intellectual
and developmental disabilities, cau-
tioned that cameras are not a “magic
pill.”
“Even if the law’s written perfectly
well, it’s not going to capture every form
of abuse and neglect,” Jorwic said.
While cameras could help catch
abusers, it’s not clear they’re effective at
preventing violence, said Brian Lee, a
former Florida long-term-care public
advocate who heads the advocacy group
Families for Better Care.
“As far as prevention, I don’t know,”
Lee said, “but I’ve seen it used for prose-
cution.”

signed closed-circuit TV system with
multiple monitoring points can be a
good deterrent. A common mistake is to
have one monitoring area that nobody is
watching, which makes cameras reac-
tive instead of proactive tools, said
Steve Wilder, president of Sorensen,
Wilder & Associates, an Illinois-based
health care safety and security consult-
ing group that works primarily with
hospitals and senior living communi-
ties.
“A lot of facilities think cameras give
the message of ‘We’re not a safe facility.’
Nothing could be further from the
truth,” Wilder said.
Details were not known about the se-
curity system at the Phoenix facility,
where a licensed nurse is accused of
sexually assaulting a 29-year-old wom-
an who had a baby boy Dec. 29.
Hacienda HealthCare said Thursday
that it was closing the intermediate care
facility that serves young people with
intellectual or developmental disabili-
ties and would work with the state to
move patients elsewhere.

ment of Health Services implemented

new safety measures at Hacienda, in-
cluding more monitoring of patient care
areas but not video cameras.
The department declined to com-
ment on the surveillance legislation
Thursday.
In Texas, a 2013 law allowing facili-
ties to install and operate video surveil-
lance equipment in common areas has
made an impact, health officials said.
Devices can only be placed in the state’s
13 intermediate care facilities, which
serve nearly 3,000 patients with intel-
lectual disabilities.
Cameras have both confirmed and
cleared staff in allegations of abuse, ne-
glect or exploitation.
“There was an initial rise as (the De-
partment of Family Protective Services)
was able to confirm cases more readily,
but since then, the rates have fallen,”
Carrie Williams, a Texas Health and Hu-
man Services Commission spokeswom-
an, said in an email.
New Jersey has taken a different ap-
proach. Its “Safe Care Cam” program
aims to catch abuse or neglect by allow-
ing residents to borrow a hidden cam-
era.
A loaner camera led to the January
arrest of a caretaker at an assisted living
facility. The attorney general’s office
said footage showed her slapping a 90-
year-old bedridden woman on the hand
and roughly pushing her head back onto
a pillow several times. The victim
couldn’t communicate verbally because
of a stroke.
In Arizona, the lawmaker behind the
camera legislation said it has “a good
chance” of passing. As chairwoman of
the House Health & Human Services
Committee, Barto can likely get the
measure a hearing.
Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, is
usually skeptical of regulations and has
touted his record of rolling them back,
but the Republican has ordered agen-
cies to improve protections for people
with disabilities.
Arizona also is considering legisla-
tion that would require facilities like Ha-
cienda to get a state license and conduct
background checks of employees who
care for clients. So far, neither bill is
scheduled for a vote.

gress to bolster the nation’s burgeoning
pot industry.
The proposal, identical to a bill in the
House, aims to ease the longstanding
conflict between states where cannabis
is legal in some form and the U.S. gov-
ernment, which categorizes marijuana
as a dangerous illegal drug, similar to
LSD or heroin.
“The federal prohibition of marijuana
is wrong, plain and simple,” Wyden, a
Democrat, said in a statement. “Too
many lives have been wasted, and too
many economic opportunities have
been missed.”
It remains unclear if Wyden’s bill
would have a chance of clearing the Re-
publican-controlled Senate.
The Democratic majority in the
House appears more open to consider-
ing proposals to ease federal restric-
tions on marijuana.
The chamber has set a hearing next
week on a bill intended to make banking
services more widely available for pot
companies.
A proposal similar to Wyden’s previ-
ously languished in the Senate and
House.
However, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, an
Oregon Democrat carrying the current
bill in the House, said voters have “elect-
ed the most pro-cannabis Congress in
American history.”
“It’s tough to see how things will
shake out, but there is a very serious
chance cannabis policy reform will
move in the Senate,” said Morgan Fox of
the National Cannabis Industry Associ-
ation.
Most Americans live in states where
pot can be legally purchased for medical
or recreational use, and the move to
loosen federal restrictions on marijuana
came as the issue has played into the
emerging 2020 presidential campaign.
The proposal would take marijuana
off the federal controlled substances
list, and remove federal criminal penal-
ties for individuals and businesses act-
ing in compliance with state marijuana
laws.
It would also reduce barriers for legal
marijuana businesses to get access to
banking.
The bill is part of a three-bill package:
A second would impose a tax on mari-
juana products similar to federal excise
taxes on alcohol, while a third would al-
low state-legal marijuana businesses to
claim tax deductions and credits.
Justin Strekal, political director of
the pro-legalization group NORML, said
in a statement that the proposal is an-
other sign of the “growing public sup-
port for ending our failed war on canna-
bis consumers.”
Former House Speaker John Boeh- Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has proposed

DHS takes down Palm Springs with late goal
Shad Powers
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
The Desert Hot Springs boys’ soccer
team has won playoff games before,
but there was something special about
this one.
It was a de facto battle for West Val-
ley supremacy as the CIF-SS schedul-
ing gods came up with a juicy matchup
of DHS vs. Palm Springs in a Division 5
first-rounder.
In front of a raucous crowd of at
least 500, the Golden Eagles rallied
from two different one-goal deficits
and emerged with a rousing 3-2 win
over the Indians.
“It’s always been a rivalry for us,
neighboring schools,” Desert Hot
Springs coach Angel Fragoso said. “I al-
ways tell the boys the 10 freeway sep-
arates us. Every time I get on that 10
freeway and it says Desert Hot Springs
left and Palm Springs right, I’m very
proud to turn left.”
The decisive goal came when the
Golden Eagles earned a penalty kick
with about 15 minutes left in a tie game.
As Mikey Gutierrez of DHS raced for a
loose ball at the same time as the Palm
Desert Hot Springs‘ Carlos Alvarez heads the ball into the goal during against
Palm Springs in Desert Hot Springs. TAYA GRAY, SPECIAL TO THE DESERT SUN
Springs goalkeeper, it was determined
that the goalie upended Gutierrez in
the box and awarded the Golden Eagles
a penalty kick.
The penalty kick was taken by Juan
Velasquez, who played most of the sea-
son on the JV, but was called up for the
playoffs.
XAVIER PREP, GIRLS’
BASKETBALL
Why: The multi-talented
Saint had 14 points and
seven rebounds as Xavi-
er Prep went on the road
to win its playoff opener
over St. Pius 55-43.
JUAN VELASQUEZ
DESERT HOT SPRINGS,
BOYS’ SOCCER
Why: Velasquez, who
played primarily on JV
this year, came through
in the biggest moment,
connecting on the
game-winning penalty kick to lift DHS
to a 3-2 playoff win over Palm Springs.

The Deuce
Pac-12 has lot of work
to do for NCAA bids
Aaron Beard
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. – It’s already been a rough season
for the Pac-12. It won’t get any easier as many league
teams try to find their way into the NCAA Tourna-
ment.
The Pac-12 hasn’t had a team ranked in the AP Top
25 in more than a month, while 10 of its schools have
at least eight losses.
That leaves Washington as the only team on solid
footing with roughly five weeks left until Selection
Sunday, while the Pac-12 is flirting with a fate incon-
sistent with its power-conference status: being a one-
bid league.
“We know it’s a great product and it’s good basket-
ball,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said recently,
“and we’re all fighting for some limited spots.”
The numbers just don’t back Krystkowiak on the
former – and that makes him right about the latter.
After managing just three bids last year, the Pac-12
started with three teams in the preseason AP Top 25
poll.
But by Dec. 31, the league had no ranked teams for
the first time since the 2011-12 season.
As of Friday afternoon, the Pac-12 ranks seventh in
KenPom’s conference rankings.
Mike Hopkins’ league-leading Huskies (19-4, 10-0)
stand at only No. 25 in the NCAA’s new NET rankings,
a more analytical formula replacing the RPI this year.
So that leaves few league wins ahead capable of
punching up a shaky postseason resume.
Arizona State (15-7, 6-4) is in the running thanks to
a neutral-court win against then-ranked Mississippi
State and a home win against then-No. 1 Kansas.
Yet Bobby Hurley’s Sun Devils, who spent four
weeks in the AP poll in December, haven’t done much
in league play and lost big at home Thursday to eight-
win Washington State to check in at No. 78 in the NET.
Washington and Arizona State are the only league
teams included in BracketMatrix.com’s average re-
sults of more than 100 tournament projections.
The Huskies and Sun Devils are a combined 5-4 “We know it’s a great product and it’s good

Palm Springs uses home-court advantage in win

Larry Bohannan
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Chris Howard’s message to his Palm
Springs boys’ basketball team was sim-
ple: You’ve played all year to earn a high
seed in the playoffs, now take advantage
of it.
The Indians did take advantage of
playing at home in the first round of the
CIF-Southern Section Division 3A play-
offs.
The No. 5 seed Indians struggled at
times during the game Thursday night at
Pat Summers Gym but advanced in the
3A bracket with a 65-56 victory over Heri-
tage of Romoland.
“It wasn’t tougher than I thought it
would be tonight. It was just another big
game, “ said Palm Springs senior Damien
King. “We played big games this season.
We just had to come out and play. That’s
how bad we wanted it.”
Palm Springs, the champions of the
Desert Empire League, improved to 23-5
for the season, while Heritage dropped to
14-14 for the year. But those records didn’t
reflect the competitive level of the high
energy and occasionally sloppy game
that saw both teams struggle with missed
shots and turnovers.
The Indians never trailed in the game
and at times played solid basketball to
build leads as large as 15 points. But each
time the Indians looked like they were
ready to take control of the game, the Pa-
triots would put together a quick spurt
and crawl back into the contest.
“They were a scrappy team, playing
that pressure trapping defense,” Howard
said of Heritage. “We would get a bigger
lead, and then we would make some mis-
takes or turn the ball over.”
The Indians held an 18-8 lead at the
end of the first quarter and still led 32-22
at the half. Heritage cut the lead to 44-37
after three quarters, but a 10-point fourth
quarter by Elijah Goad, including six free
throws in the final minute, iced the game.
“We played teams that felt like it would
be a playoff atmosphere at the beginning
of the season, so it’s just another game for
us,” King said of the guaranteed road
game in the second round. “Wherever we
play at, I feel like, and the rest of our team
feels like, we’ve got to go out there and
give it our all.”
The moment
With Heritage just five points behind
at 34-29 early in the third quarter, the In-
dians went on their best run of the night,
a 10-0 spurt over a 2:21 span to grab a 44-
29 lead. Heritage never was closer than
five points after that.
The stars
King scored 21 points, including 11 in
the second half, as the Indians held off the
Patriots. Elijah Goad had a 10-point fourth
quarter to finish the night with 19 points.
Isaiah Goad was the only other Indian in
double figures with 10 points.
The chatter
“We’ve been on the road all year. We
only lost two games on the road, and one
of them was to Mater Dei. So we’re look-
ing forward to playing on the road. That’s
why we played such a tough schedule this
year” -- Palm Springs head coach Chris
Howard on the team’s second-round
game.
The takeaway
While the Indians never trailed against
Heritage, Palm Springs didn’t take advan-
tage of chances to expand the lead in the
first and second quarters, missing too
many shots in the lane and turning the
ball over too many times against the Heri-
tage pressure defense. Heritage was able
to keep up the pressure by often bringing
three and even four fresh players into the
game to play the full-court pressure. If the
Indians can clean up those mistakes, they
can make a deep run in Division 3A
What next
Palm Springs won’t know its next op-
ponent until Friday, with the winner of
the Artesia-Sunny Hills game guaranteed
to host the Indians on Tuesday.

Aztecs wear down late against Compton

Judd Spicer
Special to Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Unable to take a late-game lead to the
finish line, the Palm Desert girls' basket-
ball team concluded a stellar season
Thursday night with a 48-44 home loss to
Compton High in the first round of the
CIF-SS Division 4AA playoffs.
Entering the postseason as champions
of the new Desert Empire League, the Az-
tecs led after each of the game's first three
quarters before being outscored by
Compton 16-10 in the night's final period.
Palm Desert (16-11) entered the CIF
playoffs as the division's No. 11 seed and
had been undefeated (9-0) at home on
the year. The DEL title was the program's
first outright conference crown since
2003.
The stars
-- Aztecs senior captain Alexis Legan
its size to full advantage, as Sanders mus-
cled her way deep into the paint to draw a
foul and make both ends of her 1-and-1
free throws to give the visitors a 46-44
edge.
The Aztecs had a pair of opportunities
to even the score on two subsequent pos-
sessions, which ultimately resulted in a
missed shot and a turnover. With 50 sec-
onds to play, Sanders connected on an-
other lay-up deep in the paint to author
what would prove the final outcome, as
Palm Desert was unable to score on two
ensuing chances in the game's waning
seconds.
The chatter
--Aztecs head coach Dani Oswood:
“(Compton) worked the ball down into
the post, which they'd been doing all
night long, and we were at a size and
height disadvantage. They were able to
constantly back us in, and not get one
over-the-back call all night.”
triple-teams all this season, last season, hill to climb next season, the Aztecs did

Mickelson has wild Parnevik shoots 63
finish at Pebble for 1-shot lead in
Doug Ferguson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Phil Mick-
elson survived a wild finish without
having to deal with the rain. Jordan
Spieth endured a wet finish to his day
with three tough pars, followed by
some unwitting help by a spooked fan.
Both were atop the leaderboard Fri-
day in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am,
joined by Lucas Glover, Paul Casey and
Scott Langley, when the second round
was suspended because the rain had
formed large puddles on the greens.
They played more golf than expected
by moving up the start by an hour, and
it was entertaining as ever.
One day after Mickelson didn’t miss
a single fairway for the first time in
1,664 rounds on the PGA Tour, he
couldn’t seem to find one at Spyglass
Hill. He still managed to surge into the
lead, including one 3-wood from 256
yards out of the trees on the par-5 14th
to 6 feet.
It caught up with him at the end. Af-
ter banging in a birdie on the par-3 fifth,
Mickelson missed three straight fair-
ways that led to three straight bogeys
until he closed with a 4-iron to 18 feet
for birdie and a 4-under 68.
“I hate not finishing the round off,
making three bogeys after having a
pretty good round going in,” Mickelson
said. “I’m also lucky to get done now
and get the round over with and have …
guys unfortunately are still out there
playing in some tough stuff.”
Mickelson was the first to finish at
10-under 133. Glover started strong in
tame weather at Pebble Beach and shot
a 6-under 66 to get to 10-under 134,
while Langley (69 at Spyglass Hill) and
Casey (7-under 64 at Monterey Penin-
sula) narrowly finished at 10-under 133
ahead of the horn that ultimately
stopped play for the rest of the day.
Three short blasts signaled the stop-
page, but because it wasn’t a dangerous
situation, such as lightning, players
could complete the hole. Casey was on
his final hole at Monterey when he
heard the horn, followed by two more.
Alliance of American Football looks to blossom
Bernie Wilson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO – Nearly four decades re-
moved from a stint in the short-lived
USFL, Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Po-
lian will preside over the opening week-
end of the newest spring league, the Al-
liance of American Football.
“It’s one more challenge at the end of
a long career,” said Polian, 76, who co-
founded the AAF with Charlie Ebersol, a
TV and film producer whose father,
Dick, defined NBC Sports’ programming
for more than two decades and created
“Sunday Night Football.”
Polian simply wasn’t ready for retire-
ment after an NFL career in which he
helped build Buffalo, Carolina and Indi-
anapolis into Super Bowl teams, with
the Colts winning the NFL champion-
ship after the 2006 season.
This alternative league seems to
stand a better chance of surviving than
others, such as the USFL and the World
League, because of the people and phi-
losophies involved.
“I’ve been pretty vocal about chan-
neling the thoughts of so many of my
friends in the NFL, in coaching and play-
er personnel, that since the demise of
NFL Europe, it’s needed a developmen-
tal league, where players can come in
and learn and develop skills,” Polian
said. “When Charlie approached me
about this, we discussed it at great
length and finally I said, ‘I’m going to put
my effort where my mouth is and see
where we can make this work.”
Polian will catch half of the opening-
weekend games in the eight-team
league. He’ll be in San Antonio on Sat-
urday night to watch the Commanders
play the San Diego Fleet – broadcast by
CBS in prime time – and in Tempe on
Sunday night to see the Arizona Hot-
shots host the Salt Lake Stallions. The
other opening-weekend games are the
Atlanta Legends at the Orlando Apollos
on Saturday night and the Memphis Ex-
press at the Birmingham Iron on Sunday
night.
Polian said the USFL took about 22
months to get up and running, and the
expansion Carolina Panthers took about
19 months.
“We’ve done this in nine months be-
cause of so many great former NFL peo-
ple who are excited to do it, excited to be
in it,” Polian said. “We started with
nothing and we’re going to open it up on
Saturday with eight teams playing what
I think will be pretty good football.
“That’s a credit to the people in-
volved. We could not have done it if we
had not had quality former NFL people.”
Phil Mickelson follows his drive from
the 11th tee of the Spyglass Hill Golf
Course during Friday’s second round
of the AT&T Pebble Beach National
Pro-Am in Pebble Beach, Calif. AP
“I went from upset to happy in an in-
stant,” he said.
Spieth was among 44 players who
had to return Saturday morning –
weather permitting – to finish the last
two holes of his round. Part of him was
happy to be off the course considering
the fight he had on his hand in cold, raw
rain with increasing wind.
“I got off to a really nice start, which
helped, knowing that the conditions
were blowing in, trying to take advan-
tage of the front nine,” he said.
He went just long of the green on the
par-3 fifth hole, his ball in the sandy
dune above the green about 3 inches
from the collar of rough with not much
green between him and the hole. Spieth
blasted out to 4 feet and saved par. Af-
ter coming up short on the uphill sixth
into the wind, his 40-yard pitch
checked and stopped a foot from the
cup.
And then he had another struggle on
the par-5 seventh, hitting out from un-
der a tree, over another one and threw
the fairway. His third shot was just right
of the green, and Spieth immediately
called for a ruling when he saw a fan’s
hand swat the ball onto the green.
The rules official talked to the fan,
who said he threw his hands up when
the ball landed in front of him, and he
did not intentionally hit the ball. That
meant Spieth played it from the green,
instead of chipping from that spot.

Oasis Championship
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Jesper Parne-
vik shot a 9-under 63 on Friday in the
Oasis Championship to take a one-
stroke lead over Bernhard Langer.
Parnevik had four straight birdies on
Nos. 4-7 on his final nine on The Old
Course at Broken Sound. The 53-year-
old Swede won the 2016 Insperity Invi-
tational for his lone PGA Tour Champi-
ons victory.
He took the first-round lead a day af-
ter going into “panic mode” while
struggling with his game.
“I probably tried 40 putters just this
week and probably 50 different
strokes,” Parnevik said. “Nothing was
working. At the last second, I said I’ll do
everything opposite from what I think.
If I slide my hips like crazy, I feel like I’m
hanging back, bam, that works. So I did
that, which felt like terrible, but man, it
was unbelievable. Man, I’m mostly
shocked right now.”
Langer closed with birdies on Nos. 17
and 18.
“It’s a three-day event,” Langer said.
“You can’t afford to have a mediocre day
somewhere. You need three good
rounds if you want to win the tourna-
ment. I played fairly solid golf most of
the time, a couple of good up-and-
downs, a couple long putts, so very
happy with it.”
The 61-year-old German won the
2010 event and finished second last
year, two strokes behind Mark Calca-
vecchia.
Woody Austin, Gene Sauers, Tim Pe-
trovic and Ken Tanigawa shot 65 in the
first full-field event of the season, and
Tom Lehman, Kevin Sutherland, Tom
Byrum and Marco Dawson followed at
66. Lehman won the season-opening
Mitsubishi Electric Championship last
month in Hawaii.

of Jack Nicklaus, had a 67 in his PGA

Vic Open
BARWON HEADS, Australia – Kim
Kaufman moved to the top of the lea-
derboard at the LPGA’s Vic Open after a
7-under 66 gave her a two-stroke lead
after two rounds.
The American had a 36-hole total of
13-under, two better than Japan’s Haru
Nomura. Australian Su Oh was another
stroke behind in third.
Kaufman was diagnosed with glan-
dular fever in 2018, but is back to full
fitness for the 2019 season.
“The last time I was in the final group
on a Sunday was at the 2017 Tour
Championship,” she said. “It’s just nice
to be back. It was a long year last year,
but you just have to keep working hard
and believing in yourself.”
Overnight leader Felicity Johnson of
England was seven strokes behind af-
ter a 2-over 74.
In the men’s event being played con-
currently with the women’s tourna-
ment, first-round leader Nick Flanagan
shot a 4-under 68 and was tied for the
second-round lead with fellow Aus-
tralian Jason Scrivener.
The men and women are teeing off in
alternate groups over two courses at
the 13th Beach Golf Links.
The Beach course is being played as
a par-72 for both men and women.
Ebersol said the AAF players can
leave for the NFL between April 29 and
Dec. 29. He said the AAF released 71
players to the NFL and 35 came back
and are playing. The AAF says that of its
more than 600 players signed to date, 98
percent have been in the NFL at some
point over the past 18 to 24 months.
Polian and Ebersol said every NFL
team had scouts in San Antonio when
all the teams recently held training
camp and then each played an exhibi-
tion game.
“We’re not competitive, we’re com-
plementary,” Ebersol said. “We look at
the NFL as, we’re going to support your
existence, let them play in your league,
put content on your network. They’re a
partner. The goal is to improve and sup-
port the ecosystem of football.”

No. 1 team in Division 4, continued their dominating
run through the postseason, by bouncing Bonita 17-2

Players were more aggressive going after the ball

of the absence of Desert Mirage’s star defender, Er-

What was he thinking as he stood over the ball be-
fore the penalty kick?
“I was thinking about my family, my real family
and my soccer family, and I just knew I was going to
get that goal,” Velasquez said. “I went basically up the
middle, which is one of my favorites. This is amaz-
ing.”
The Golden Eagles, including many of their soccer
alumni who came back to root on the team, gathered
in a big circle after the game and sang and danced as
a guy with a drum played along in the center of the
ring. It was an electric atmosphere as both crowds
were into the game from start to finish.
While the home team sang and danced after the
win, Palm Springs players were disconsolate. Some
put their shirts up over their heads. Some just knelt
down. Some laid on the turf. It was a frustrating end
to a great season for the Indians, who came a half
game away from a share of the Desert Empire League
title.
The win puts the Golden Eagles into a second-
round game Saturday against Tahquitz. DHS won the
coin toss, so they will host Saturday’s game as well.
The moment
The penalty kick proved to be the game-winner,
but the equalizer that made the game 2-2 came from
a pretty set play off the corner kick.
Captain Gilbert Regalado lofted a beautiful arcing
kick near the front post, and the Golden Eagles used
their height to head it in just as they drew it up. It was
Carlos Alvarez who outjumped the crowd and got his
head on it, redirecting it into the net. That tied it at
2-2 about midway through the second half, and it
also put the momentum squarely in the Golden Ea-
gles’ favor.
The stars
Ezequiel Minero, Desert Hot Springs: The Gold-
en Eagles senior put them on the board early in the
second half, with a nice individual play. He took a
long pass and had a beautiful first touch. He was able
to get to the ball just ahead of the on-rushing keeper
and nudge it past him for the goal.
Juan Velasquez, Desert Hot Springs: He stepped
right up to the spot and handled the pressure of the
penalty kick well. That’s not always easy to do.
Gilbert Regalado, Desert Hot Springs: A steady-
ing force for the Golden Eagles, he played smart soc-
cer all night long and he handled most of the corner-
kicking duties, including the perfectly struck ball
that led to the tying goal.
Santiago Karam, Palm Springs: The junior
scored the game’s first goal on a beautiful strike from
about 30 yards out. He wrong-footed the goalkeeper
goals to secure the win. McKee, though, noted how
not losing last week’s game to Palm Springs in a game
the Indians seemed to have in hand at one point, was
vital to the confidence of his players. He said it kept
their heads from dropping too low.
And now, after beating a juggernaut of a program
for a third time this season, La Quinta has a chance to
do what the Rams did a year ago and win a CIF title.
It’s still early, but with this Blackhawks group
reaching the semifinals a year ago, they know what it
takes to make a run.
“It’s been a fun group to work with,” McKee said.
“They’re determined and they know what time of
year it is right now. We had our run last year, making
it to the semifinals, and they’ve got the talent to do it
again.”

and sent a sinking ball into the bottom left of the goal
to give the Indians a 1-0 lead that they took into the
half.
Raul Morado, Palm Springs: He scored the Indi-
ans’ other goal, racing to the left post to get on the
business end of a beautiful, hard-earned cross by
Brayden Allenbeck. That gave the Indians a 2-1 lead.
Darias Ayala, Palm Springs: The senior defender
was in the right place at the right time all night, par-
ticularly when what looked like a certain DHS goal
was denied by Ayala heading the ball away after it
had gotten past the goalkeeper.
The chatter
Fragoso on halftime talk being down 1-0: “We
just said we still have 40 minutes of game. We’re
home. We’re only down 1-0 (so) just keep playing
your game. And to come back, not once but twice,
shows how courageous our kids are.”
Fragoso on the winning penalty kick: “Mikey got
us that PK. He’s a little rascal and has a little bit of
razzle dazzle to his game and I told him ‘Hey, go get us
something in there. They’re being aggressive, put
some pressure on and see what happens.’ And then
Juan just came off the JV and we’re one team. Every-
body out there earned a CIF bid and he came
through.”
Velasquez: “It was a great game against a great
team. In the locker room the coach motivated us to
keep playing hard. We did. We believed. And we’re
heading to the next round.”
What’s next?
Desert Hot Springs is the No. 8 team in Division 5
and they will host No. 9-ranked Tahquitz on Satur-
day. Game time is still to be determined. Palm
Springs finishes with an 11-10-2 overall record.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – A person familiar with the de-

the Los Angeles Angels.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity Fri-
day because the Angels haven’t announced the
deal.
Hudson had a 4.11 ERA in 46 innings last season
for the Dodgers, who were the right-hander’s fourth
big-league team. He missed the final two months of
the season with forearm soreness.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Alysa Liu has had a hectic cou-
ple of weeks since becoming the youngest national
champion in U.S. figure skating history.
The 13-year-old has been busy with interviews and
made an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jim-
my Fallon.” Even though Liu is too young to compete in
international junior and senior-level competitions,
she is watching this weekend’s Four Continents
Championships and skated in Thursday night’s open-
ing ceremony.
Liu said she’s not disappointed that her season is
over. She can compete in junior-level events next year
and would be eligible to take part in the 2022 Beijing
Olympics. In the meantime, the home-schooled ninth-
grader will return to her practice rink in Oakland.
“I do get more time to prepare myself,” she said. “I
want to continue to work on my skating skills and indi-
vidual components.”
Liu landed three triple axels during nationals, in-
cluding two during her long program. Her next goal is
to successfully land a quadruple jump in competition.
She tried one during a regional competition last Octo-
ber but fell when she under-rotated.
Liu said she hasn’t practiced quads for a couple
months because she was focused on consistency with
her triple axels while preparing for nationals. Two
Russians have landed quads in junior competitions.
“We had a goal of trying to do well at nationals and
she did that,” said Laura Lipetsky, who is Liu’s coach.
“Now it is about becoming a better skater with a lot of
training and hard work before she goes into compet-
ing.”
NBC commentator and 1998 Olympic gold medalist
Tara Lipinski was the youngest U.S. ladies champion
before Liu supplanted her. Lipinski, though, was able
to compete in senior-level competitions.
The International Skating Union passed a rule in
1997 that made 15 the minimum age for participating in
senior-level international events. Lipinski was grand-
fathered in since she was already competing.
“She has three years to mature and develop. There is
maturity in age,” Lipinski told The Associated Press in
a phone interview. “There is maturity in age to be able
to emote and tell the story. Technically she has more
time to add more difficulty to compete with the Rus-
sians and Japanese. If you look at all of that, it is really
positive.
“She is such a little superstar and she is so deter-
mined and focused. That will work in her favor. The
biggest thing is learning how to block out the noise.
Physically, at end of the day you have done it, but it is
the pressure that messes with you. It’s the mental
game you have to be able to win at and absorb as much
as you can.”

Manfred: No DH or draft changes likely for 2019

Ronald Blum

ORLANDO, Fla. – Don’t look for a Na-

tional League designated hitter this year
or for new anti-tanking rules in June’s
amateur draft.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred
said Friday that management is focused
on pace-of-game changes for 2019 and

Sala’s last goal, assist typified him as a player

Jerome Pugmire
ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS – Emiliano Sala waited near

the penalty spot, anticipating the ball’s
trajectory. When it finally came, he
lurched forward and sent a powerful
header into the bottom corner of the net.
It was the last goal Sala would ever
score.
The Argentine forward, who scored
that goal for Nantes on Dec. 5 in a 3-2
win over Marseille, was killed in a plane
crash in the English Channel last month
and his body was recovered from the
seabed wreckage this week.
Sala had been flying from Nantes to
Cardiff, where he had been planning to
start a new career in the English Premier
League. He was 28 years old, the prime
age in soccer for a striker.
“Emiliano will always be among the
legends who have written the great his-
tory of Nantes,” the French club said Fri-
day. “We have lost a friend, a talented
player, an exemplary teammate.”
The fans there greatly appreciated
what Sala did for their team.
After scoring that last goal, his 12th of
the season, Sala sprinted toward the
cheering Nantes fans that formed a
mass of yellow shirts and scarves be-
hind the goal. He leaped over the adver-
tising hoardings with ease and stood
with his chest proudly puffed out as the
fans surged forward with open arms.
A few fans even rushed from the
stands to hug him, and the man wearing
the No. 9 shirt received them warmly.
In honor of Sala, Nantes will retire
the No. 9 jersey, and a minute’s applause
for him will be held at stadiums in
France this weekend. Nantes will next
play Nimes at home on Sunday.
Tall, strong, and good at heading, Sa-
la had the attributes to succeed in the
physically demanding Premier League. Yellow flowers are displayed in front of a portrait of Argentinian forward Emiliano Sala on Friday at the Beaujoire Stadium

Architect of Johnson’s success starting over

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Chad

Knaus got his first big break at Hendrick
Motorsports when he was picked to
build a team from scratch around a roo-
kie driver who had yet to prove he be-
longed at NASCAR’s top level.
The driver was Jimmie Johnson.
Once Johnson was paired with Knaus
as crew chief, the duo took off and won a
record-tying seven championships as
the No. 48 team blossomed into one of
the best in NASCAR history. Despite a
17-year friendship and all their success,
the strain of underperforming last year
was the final push toward their split.
Their chance to race for a record
eighth Cup title together is gone and
each has new roles. Johnson will at last
be the leader of the No. 48, a job he never
had sole possession of under Knaus.
Knaus, the winningest crew chief in
the garage, is essentially starting over.

Decision on emptying bench not easy

John Marshall
ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. – The score climbs as

the clock ticks down. Many fans have
started to leave or are already gone.
The regulars start to come off the floor,
sometimes individually, sometimes as
a group after their day’s work is done.
At the end of the bench, a group of
players sit at the edge of their seats,
anticipating an opportunity to enter a
game that’s long been decided. Those
precious seconds at the end of a game
are their chance to play after all those
long hours of practice.
The wait can seem like an eternity
for the walk-ons.
“It’s usually around two minutes left
when you know, OK, game is out of
hand, we might have a shot to get in
here,” said Arizona State junior walk-
on Grant Fogerty. “You see the score,
you see the time and you hope coach
comes to get you.”
The problem for walk-ons: most
coaches don’t take out their rotation
players until there’s about a minute left
in the game, no matter the score.
Whether it’s fear of a massive come-
back, wanting starters to finish off a
complete game or trying to keep their
team’s efficiency rating up, coaches
find it hard to pull that take-out-your-
starters trigger.
Typically, there’s no set plan for re-
moving the starters, no specific thresh-
old to reach. It’s almost always done by
feel, occasionally predicated on what
the opposing coach does.

Auburn’s Brown

AUBURN, Ala. – Derrick Brown had a

newborn son and the choice of either
pursuing his NFL career or continuing
to chase college quarterbacks and his
degree.
The Auburn defensive tackle opted
to return for his senior season despite
being projected as a potential first-
round draft pick. The decision not only

but bolsters a defensive line that fig- Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott made $850,000 last season and

rich position, with defensive ends Mar-

lon Davidson and Nick Coe also opting
to come back instead of turning pro.
“I mean, when you look at the bene-
fit on this side of things … it’s just like, if
I don’t go this year, I could get hurt. I
hope not to,” Brown said. “But my de-
gree in my hands is going to be so much
more powerful than what could have
happened.
“I could have been in the league and I
could have been hurt and I could have
just been going through certain things.
I felt it would have been harder that
way. Also, just being able to have my
son here when I do graduate in Decem-
ber will be a nice memory I won’t ever
forget.”
Kai Brown was born on Dec. 20,
eight days before the Tigers’ 63-14 romp
over Purdue in the Music City Bowl.
His birth was a joyful distraction
from worrying about the NFL for
Brown. Kai was also, of course, another
factor to weigh and not just as a provid-
er. A couple of decades from now,
Brown would be able to site his own
choice in encouraging his son to stay in
school.
Just like his own parents have done.
“Because when it comes time for my
son to get his degree, I’m going to push
for it,” Brown said. “I’m not going to
take no for an answer just like my dad
has done with me.”
He expects to finish his business de-
gree in December. In the meantime,

bine or a string of job interviews and
auditions.
Instead, he has more time during
Auburn’s offseason “to be able to be a
dad and stuff like that.”
He, Davidson and Coe started a
group chat with Brown to discuss their
NFL decisions. But getting the 6-foot-5,
325-pounder’s attention away from
Daddy duties and back to his phone
was suddenly no easy task.
Coe at one point texted him “Hello?”
repeatedly trying to get a response.
“Then Marlon starting texting too
and he was like, ‘You’re ignoring us.
Why are you ignoring us?’ ” Brown said.
“And I really wasn’t ignoring them but
just in the mix of the whole day going
on, and Kai wasn’t feeling good so he
was fussy all day, and it was just one of
those things where my attention is all
the way over here. It’s just one of those
things where you laugh at the end of the
day. I texted them and I told them, ‘I’m
sorry. I’ve been busy all day.’ And
they’re just like, ‘Mmhmm.’”
Their response: “Tell us right now.
What are you going to do?”
Ultimately, all three made the same
decision.
Clemson’s offensive
coordinators join
million-dollar club
Pete Iacobelli
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Clemson’s offen-
sive coordinators Tony Elliott and Jeff
Scott are now in the million-dollar club.
They received raises that increased
their yearly salary to $1 million, giving
the national champion Tigers three as-
sistants making at least that much. The
school’s board of trustees approved
salary increases for several Clemson
assistants and staffers Friday.
The move comes a month after
Clemson completed a 15-0 season by
beating Alabama 44-16 in the national
championship game. Elliott and Scott
each made $850,000 last season and
received raises of $150,000.
They join Clemson’s defensive coor-
dinator Brent Venables at that lofty lev-
el. Venables earned $2.2 million last
season. He received a new contract last
July that pays him $11.6 million over six
seasons.
Venables was the only member of
the staff not to get a salary increase
since his deal was redone last summer.
Clemson will pay its assistants a to-
tal of $7.1 million, for now the highest
total in the country. That total is up
from $6.5 million last year.
Clemson athletic director Dan Rada-
kovich said it was important to head
coach Dabo Swinney to reward his as-
sistants. “There’s been very little turn-
over and I think that helps with the cul-
ture and the environment inside the
program and has helped create the out-
standing results that we’ve had,” Rada-
kovich said.
Each assistant also had a year added
to their contracts.
Radakovich said he’s reworking
Swinney’s contract. Swinney, who’ll
start his 11th full season with the Tigers,
made $6.5 million in salary last season
with another $1 million or so in bonuses
for Clemson’s perfect season.
Swinney is also in line for a $1 million
retention payment from Clemson if
he’s the coach on March 1.

USA TODAY NETWORK
There is a packrat midden in Death Valley
that contained fossilized remains of a cactus
nearly twenty thousand years old. This proves
that Opuntia basilaris was once far more plenti-
ful around southern California during wetter
times. It’s a true platyopuntia, having flat stems
verses the cylindropuntia chollas. The habitat
includes the Sonoran and Mojave deserts,
which include our low and high desert commu-
nities around the Coachella Valley.
This cactus is the most adaptable I’ve ever
seen growing in almost every habitat condition
imaginable. Unlike the rest of the prickly pears
from all over, this one is quite unique because it
lacks spines. At least it lacks visible wickedly
sharp defensive spines, but this beautiful blue
cactus remains so well-defended by glochids it
is rarely damaged by wildlife or stolen from the
wild by humans.
Its skin is textured with tubercles as perfect-
ly spaced as dotted Swiss fabric. The pin head
spots are made by a cluster of microscopic glo-
chids packed into each one. After encountering
just one bundle, every rat, mouse and chip-
munk will get a mouth full of glochids and never
go near another one again. So while you may see
a few little chew spots, it’s likely they’ll never go
past the first spot encounter.
However, this cactus is not often dug or sto-
len due to the glochids, which are also present
on the roots. This makes them very difficult to
handle both in the nursery and in the garden to
avoid infesting work gloves with micro-needles
forever. Theft does happen however, which is a

options are grounded in style

Choice of colors, material
sets the tone for room
Melissa Rayworth ASSOCIATED PRESS
A stunning sofa or a beautiful wall color might
catch your eye when you enter someone’s home. But
flooring is the key to any room, says interior designer
Elina Cardet.
As the visual base for every other design choice,
“flooring is the most important decision,” says Cardet,
interior design director at Perkins and Will’s Miami
office. Beauty matters, as does durability and also
comfort: “You’re going to be barefoot on this floor,” she
points out.
Recent technological innovations have created a
wide variety of flooring options today.
Cardet and two other interior design experts – Lau-
ren Rottet of Rottet Studio in Houston and Jacqueline
Touzet of Touzet Studio in Miami – offer advice on
making this key design decision:
Hardwood choices
BESTLIFE.
There are many synthetic versions of hardwood
floors these days – products that promise to look and
feel like solid wood but cost less. Some can look lovely,
these designers agree. But they advise moving cau-
tiously.
“There’s not enough history to know if it’s going to
hold up,” says Rottet, whereas hardwood offers dura-
bility and longevity. “A beautiful wood floor is classic.”
Cardet suggests that “if it’s possible and your bud-
get allows it, to try to invest in hardwoods that are cer-
tified, to make sure it comes from a forest that was
well managed.”
Which style of hardwood should you choose? Wide
plank floors are popular right now. But Rottet points
out that since they have fewer joints than narrower
plank floors, there is less opportunity for the floor to
expand and contract over time. The occasional crack Resort Living Near La Quinta

Former home court now for sale

Neal J. Leitereg and Jack Flemming
Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin, the

former L.A. Clippers star who was trad-
ed last year to the Detroit Pistons, is
looking to make a deal of his own in Pa-
cific Palisades. He’s put his home of six
years on the market for $10.995 million.
Gated from the street, the Cape Cod-
inspired house has about 9,600 square
feet of living space spread across three
levels.
On the main floor, the house is en-
tered through a 24-foot-tall foyer with a
curved floating staircase and a chande-
lier that draws the eye upward. Living
areas pair dark wood floors and crisp
white millwork for a clean aesthetic.
Off the entry are formal living and
dining rooms, a center-island kitchen
and family room with a fireplace. A sep-
arate office wears a subdued face, with
dark gray wall treatments. The lower-
level home theater has a burgundy color
scheme. There’s also a game room and a
gym.
A total of six bedrooms and 6.5 bath-
rooms includes a master suite com-
posed of a sitting room, two dressing
rooms/closets and a tiled bath.

Ending his run as a landlord

Actor and comedian Tony Hale has sold a home in

the historic Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles for
$1.56 million.
Owned by the “Veep” and “Arrested Development”
star for more than a decade, the traditional-style home
was made available for lease in recent years for about
$7,000 a month.
The charming two-story, which dates to 1937, fea-
tures such classic details as detailed millwork, mold-
ing and dark hardwood floors. Built-in bench seating
creates a focal point in the kitchen area, which has
been updated. Bay windows bring natural light into
the living and dining rooms.
The 2,226-square-foot floor plan also holds four
bedrooms and three updated bathrooms.
Outside, there are upper and lower brick terraces,
lawn and a large fireplace. Also on the property is a
detached garage.
Hale, 48, has multiple Primetime Emmy nomina-
tions for his supporting role as a vice presidential aide
on “Veep,” winning twice. Last year, the actor ap-
peared in the films “The 15:17 to Paris,” “Sadie” and
“Love, Simon.”
He has a voice role in the upcoming animated film
“Toy Story 4.”

Penthouse sale hits new heights

In a record-setting deal, billionaire Ken Griffin has

paid $238 million for a massive penthouse towering

The sale shatters the previous U.S. price record for a
residential sale, which was set in 2014 when hedge
fund manager Barry Rosenstein reportedly shelled out
$137 million for a Hamptons estate.
The mammoth transaction caps a series of eye-

TV Week
‘American Soul’ brings the drama
Robert Lloyd
Los Angeles Times
Kids today can pull out a phone and
watch pop stars sing and dance, any-
way, anyhow, anywhere they choose.
But TV was small once, and such ap-
pearances were rare – and all the more
psychically powerful for it.
Born in Chicago, transplanted to
Hollywood and syndicated everywhere,
“Soul Train,” from 1971 to 2003, was a
seemingly simple jukebox dance show
that became one of the most culturally
significant TV shows of its very long
time. A beacon of young black music,
dance and fashion, it lit up the nation
with “love, peace and soul,” in the words
with which creator and velvet-baritone
host (until 1997) Don Cornelius ended
each weekly broadcast.
Now the “hippest trip in America”
has become the basis of a different kind
of television program, “American Soul,”
which premiered Tuesday on BET. Join-
ing “Empire,” “Star,” “Power” and “Pose”
in a small congregation of black TV mu-
sic and nightclub dramas, the series is a
conceptual sequel to NBC’s 2002 pop-
musical drama “American Dreams,”
which was set in mid-1960s Philadel-
phia, against the backdrop of “American
Bandstand.”
Indeed, Jonathan Prince, who with
Devon Greggory (“Harry’s Law,” “Being
Mary Jane,” “Underground”) co-created
“American Soul,” also co-created “Amer-
ican Dreams.” And like the earlier show,
it follows the young amateur dancers

But where the private life of Dick Clark
was not grist for “Dreams,” Cornelius is
very much at the center of “Soul.”
Amateur dancers show the world the latest moves in “American Soul,” BET’s new
drama set against the birth of “Soul Train.” JACE DOWNS
After a title-card epigram quoting
Nietzsche (“Without music, life would
be a mistake”) – because, sure, why not
– we join Cornelius (Sinqua Walls) on
the last day of his life, Feb. 1, 2012, as he
tearfully rewatches old footage from his
show. From there we flash back to a hap-
pier-day Chicago, January 1971, where
the local version of “Soul Train” is al-
ready in progress, with “Chicago’s very
own … Chi-Lites!”
But the Windy City cannot hold him.
“Fourteen cities, all we need is a Top 10
act – they want us by the fourth quar-
ter!” declares based-on-a-real-person
George Johnson of Johnson Products,
makers of Afro-Sheen, and the show’s
cornerstone backer and sponsor. (Most
other characters here are inventions or
reinventions.) In pursuit of that Top 10
act, Cornelius will head out to L.A.,
where he has been promised a meeting

and worse than pictured here, but
“American Soul” does capture some of
the flavor of that duality.
But there is a lot of other drama in
“American Soul,” centered mainly on
brother and sister Kendall (Jelani Win-
ston) and Simone Clarke (Katlyn Ni-
chol), who have a singing group with
their friend JT (Christopher Jefferson)
and think dancing on “Soul Train” might
help them get noticed. (Historically, it
helped Rosie Perez, Jody Watley, M.C.
Hammer and Fred “Rerun” Berry.) Ken-
dall has just received his draft notice;
JT, who has asked Simone to go steady
(“Older boys expect certain things,”
warns her mother), is working as many
hours he can get at Ma Mable’s Kitchen
to make his family’s rent and is not in-
terested in “dancing on some teeny-bop
TV show.” But he will fall in with some
self-styled revolutionaries who might
be about to form the Crips.

Braeden: Victor’s a jerk

Tune In Tomorrow
Nancy M. Reichardt
Columnist
One thing that continually irks Eric Brae-
den about his character on “The Young and the
Restless” is Victor’s oft-times contentious re-
lationship with his closest family members --
in particular the one with his son Nicholas.
“First of all, Joshua (Morrow, who plays
Nicholas) is one of the most respectful peo-
ple,” points out Braeden. “He’s always polite,
always respectful. So, that relationship pains
me, because I have a very close relationship to
my own son and would be very sad if it was as
acrimonious as it is between Victor and Nicho-
las.”
Nevertheless, Braeden understands the
method to the show’s writers’ madness.
“Without it, you have no conflict,” he main-
tains. “You need that conflict. But I must say,
in many ways, Victor is (a jerk). Who does
this? So I often can’t stand him.”
Short takes
Chrishell Hartley has resurrected her for-
mer “Days of Our Lives” role of Jordan Ridge-
way. At this time, there is no indication of how
long the actress will be a part of the storyline,
which could include scenes with her brother
Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) or perhaps her for-
mer lover, Rafe (Galen Gering, who has been
absent from the show for several weeks),
whose relationship with Hope (Kristian Alfon-
so) has been on the rocks for quite a while.
Hartley began playing Jordan in 2013 and left
in 2015, when Jordan took an out-of-town job.
Hartley appeared as Amanda Dillon on “All My
Children,” and as Bethany on “The Young and
the Restless.”
Tyler Christopher, who plays Stefan DiMera
on “Days of Our Lives,” recently posted on In-
stagram that he has finished work on the film
“Max Winslow and the House of Secrets,” re-
ferred to as a “family-friendly thriller,” which
was filmed in Arkansas.
On Feb. 9, the Lifetime network will debut
“Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter,” which
stars Maurice Benard (Sonny, “General Hospi-
tal”) as the late John Gotti, the former boss of
the Gambino crime family, once one of the
most powerful and dangerous crime bosses in
the country. The movie will air at 8 p.m.
THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Liam
took Hope to meet baby Phoebe for the first
time. Unaware that Phoebe is actually Beth,
her presumed-dead daughter, Hope felt an un-
expected and instant connection to the child.
Hope later told Liam about her feelings and re-
marked that Phoebe would be in their lives for
a long time. Wyatt and Sally pointed out to
Steffy how similar Phoebe and Kelly look.
Brooke quizzed Taylor about how fast Steffy
had adopted Phoebe. Zoe was upset when
Reese suddenly returned to England. Zoe was
suspicious of Flo, whom she found in Reese’s
apartment.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: John met with Leo’s
mother, Diana Cooper, and was surprised to
see that she is Diana Colville, whom he had a
romance with until she left Salem years ago af-
ter “accidentally” shooting him. Diana respon-
ded with a “boys will be boys” attitude when
John asked for info on Leo. When Leo ordered
Diana to leave town, she reminded him that
she has evidence that he murdered his father.
After telling Marlena about his meeting with
Diana, John realized that he could be Leo’s
birth father. Ciara’s abductor turned out to be
Ben’s unhinged sister, Jordan, who thinks she
is protecting Ciara from Ben. Jordan also kid-
napped Abigail’s baby, Charlotte, to “protect”
her after learning that Ben nearly kidnapped
Abigail for Stefan.
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Franco made an ap-
pointment with Kevin (Ryan), and confessed
to the murders that he committed (when he
had a brain tumor), even relating that it had
been fun watching the police trying to solve
them. Laura consented when Lulu insisted
that she wanted Kevin (Ryan) to hypnotize her
to see if she could remember who stabbed her.
During the session, Ryan (as Kevin) convinced
Lulu that the man who stabbed her had been
Franco. Jordan arrested Franco, who said that
he wasn’t the killer. Secretly pleased, Ryan
planted incriminating evidence on Franco.
Sam told Jason that they have to pretend to
end their relationship in order for her to get
close to Shiloh so she can protect Kristina. Ja-
son teamed with Spinelli to dig up information
on Shiloh’s past. Nina was happy that Sasha
returned to town. Robert and Finn dug up
more information on Dr. Cabot.
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Victor,
Nick and Nikki were stunned when they heard
Victoria’s daughter Katie talking behind a wall
in the Newman mansion. After breaking down
the wall, Victor and Nick found an array of sur-
veillance equipment that covered every room
in the house, and they realized someone (Ka-
tie’s mystery friend) has been spying on them.
Victor, Nikki, Nick and Victoria realized that
J.T. may not be dead. Abby put Mia in her place
during a meeting, stating that she wouldn’t let
a jealous woman (Mia) stand in the way of her
and Arturo’s wedding plans. Sharon let Rey
listen to a recording (made by the mystery
man) of Victor saying that J.T. deserved to die.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PASADENA, Calif. – A roundup of
news from the Television Critics Associ-
ation winter meeting, where TV net-
works and streaming services are pre-
senting details on upcoming programs.
FX vs. Goliath
Someone is standing up to televi-
sion’s Goliath, with a prominent com-
petitor saying Monday that Netflix is de-
ceiving the public about what is a hit
and what isn’t.
John Landgraf, the FX Networks
chief executive who has frequently
pointed out the glut of scripted TV, said
Netflix is using cloudy measurements to
claim increasing dominance among
viewers. It’s an approach he said reflects
a worrisome Silicon Valley arrogance.
Applying long-used industry stan-
dards to Netflix, “their true batting aver-
age would be viewed as unimpressive,”
Landgraf said.
The streaming service has upended
the TV industry with a gusher of pro-
gramming beyond that of any other out-
let. This year, Netflix also realized its
goal of earning a best-picture Oscar
nomination, for the film “Roma.”
But success doesn’t necessarily stem
from an “endless money cannon,” as
Landgraf described spending by what
he called Silicon Valley’s “monopolistic
titans.”
Netflix’s claim that 40 million house-
holds globally watched the series “You”
Lakeith Stanfield, left, and Donald
Glover appear in a scene from the
comedy series “Atlanta.” FX VIA AP
‘Atlanta’ delay
Donald Glover’s comedy “Atlanta”
will be back. Just not as soon as expect-
ed.
FX Networks CEO John Landgraf
said Monday the series is behind sched-
ule. The Georgia-based show was re-
newed for a third season in June and
was supposed to return this year.
Landgraf said the show’s writers are
working on new episodes. Network
spokesman John Solberg added that the
show won’t be back in time for Emmy
Awards consideration this year.
“Atlanta” has won two Emmys and
two Golden Globe awards.
Landgraf said Glover has been deal-
ing with an injured foot and personal is-
sues involving his extended family.

SCOPE OF SERVICES: The scope of work will consist of the purchase and
installation and maintenance of a new ground transportation management

options than our current GTMS which is over 10 years old.
NON-MANDATORY PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE: Prospective Proposers are
STRONGLY ADVISED to attend a NON-MANDATORY Pre-Proposal Conference.

floor – Center Terminal), Palm Springs CA, 92262. Please allow approximately
two (2) hours for this conference. No variation in price or condition shall be
permitted based on a claim of ignorance. Failure of a Proposer to attend the
pre-proposal conference shall constitute acceptance of all pre-existing site
conditions and shall constitute a waiver of any and all future claims relating to
said conditions.
CONTRACTOR’S LICENSE: The selected firm (or sub-contracted installer) must
possess a valid, current and in good standing C10 contractor’s license issued by
the California State Contractor Licensing Board. A copy of the contractor’s
license number and date of expiration shall be included in the submitted
Proposal. Failure to produce and possess the specified license will render the
Proposal as non-responsive. The license is required for the onsite installation
and maintenance of the system.
OBTAINING RFP DOCUMENTS AND ADDENDA: The RFP document may be
downloaded via the internet at www.palmspringsca.gov (go to Departments,
Procurement, Open Bids & Proposals), or by calling the Office of Procurement

at
this project, providing your company name, contact person, contact email
address, office address, office phone and office fax. Failure to be placed on the

the RFP. Failing to acknowledge Addenda may result in your proposal being
non-responsive, or may negatively impact the evaluation of your proposal. We
strongly advise that you follow the instructions above if you are interested in
submitting a proposal.
EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT: This solicitation has
been developed in the Request for Proposals (RFP) format. Accordingly, firms
should take note that multiple factors as identified in the RFP will be
considered by the Evaluation Committee to determine which proposal best
meets the requirements set forth in the RFP document. PRICE ALONE WILL NOT
BE THE SOLE DETERMINING CRITERIA. The City reserves the right to negotiate
the terms and conditions of any resulting contract. Final contract award, if any,
will be made by the Palm Springs City Council. The selected firm will be
required to comply with all insurance and license requirements of the City.
DEADLINE: All proposals must be received in the Procurement and Contracting

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MICHAEL LYNN WHATLEY
CASE NUMBER: PRIN 1900090
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: MICHAEL LYNN WHAT-
LEY
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by SAM STIDHAM in the Superior
Court of California, County of RIVERSIDE.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that SAM STIDHAN be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independ-
ent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition
and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be in this court as follows:
Date: MARCH 12, 2019 Time: 8:45 A.M. Dept. PS3
Address of court: 46-200 Oasis Street, Indio, CA 92201
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hear-
ing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative ap-
pointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in sec-
tion 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mail-
ing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California
Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your
rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable
in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any peti-
tion or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Class Description
Politics
The Supreme Court:
What’s Next and Why it Matters
Alison Gash / University of Oregon
Commendation for Excellence in Teaching
Professor Alison Gash will begin by taking us back to the Court’s humble
beginnings, charting how the Court amassed its power. Through this
lens, Professor Gash will demonstrate why the Court’s makeup can
make or break American public policy. Professor Gash will discuss the
Kavanaugh nomination and increasing partisan discord over Supreme
Court nominations and the implications on the Court’s ability to “put
politics aside” when upholding “the rule of law.” The founding fathers
went to great lengths to insulate the federal judiciary from the passions
of partisanship and majority will in order to preserve its power to hold
politics accountable to a more durable set of principles and values. To
what degree will this be damaged if Court nominations and nominees
become vulnerable to the same partisan strife that characterizes the
political world?
Alison Gash is a political science professor at the University of Oregon,
where she has received several fellowships and grants for her teaching.
She specializes in US Supreme Court and civil rights laws.

In-depth report explores what happened after a
Coachella encampment on Caltrans land was bulldozed

Nicole Hayden Palm Springs Desert Sun | USA TODAY NETWORK

The California Department of Transportation razed a trend that has persisted.

homeless encampment in Coachella in early May as part
of its statewide push to rid squatters from its land, citing
concerns about blight, safety, health and trespassing.
The state agency increased its statewide spending to
evict such encampments from its property by 76 percent
in the past year. That spending amounted to more than
$12 million in 2018 alone. Over the past five years, spend-
ing increased by 277 percent.
As one encampment is razed, another pops up — a
The nearly 60 residents of the Coachella encampment
called it home for almost three years. Following the evic-
tion, many were housed by Riverside County, but months
later about half the residents are still on the streets.
The total eviction and housing costs for the encamp-
ment totaled more than $630,000, split between state
and county funds.
As spending continues to increase, Caltrans officials
said encampment shutdowns will remain a priority.

Calloway has been with “Extra” since
2005.
He was arrested following a 2006 in-

ler said.
More veterans live in California than
any other state in the nation. And of the
state’s 1.7 million former service mem-
bers, more than 900,000 live in five
Southern California counties—Los An-
geles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardi-
no and San Diego counties.
But despite Southern California’s
large veteran population, politicians
and veterans groups have long decried
how many—particularly veterans living
in rural areas—struggle to access the
services the VA provides. A study on
veterans in Riverside County published
last week found that 35 percent of eligi-
ble veterans living in the county have
never used VA health resources.
Some politicians, veterans and advo-
cates said expanding veterans’ access to
private care could bring needed services
to Southern California veterans who live
far away from VA hospitals, but others
protested the policy change, saying that

ment-run veterans hospitals to private

Continued from previous page
Secretary Wilkie rebuffed critics who
claimed the new policy was a step to-
ward privatization and called the policy
an “important win” for veterans.
“Most Americans can already choose
the health care providers that they trust,
and President Trump promised that
Veterans would be able to do the same,”
Wilkie said. “With VA’s new access
standards, the future of the VA health
care system will lie in the hands of Vet-
erans – exactly where it should be.”
The policy, which goes into effect in
June, changes the distance access stan-
dards to a time-based threshold and
shortens the appointment time thresh-
old.
Under the VA’s new policy, the de-
partment will pay for private care for
veterans who can prove they live more
than 30 minutes from VA facilities. The
Department of Veterans Affairs claims
the time-based threshold will increase
the amount of veterans eligible for pri-
vate care from about 8 percent to be-
tween 20 and 30 percent.
For U.S. Rep. Paul Cook, a former Ma-
rine Corps Colonel who represents a
congressional district spanning across
San Bernardino, Inyo and Mono coun-
ties, the changes are particularly signifi-
cant. Veterans in his district often have
to travel hours to reach the VA facilities
in Loma Linda or Mammoth Lakes, and
Cook said the difficulties faced by veter-
ans in rural areas reflected how policy-
makers tend to ignore regions away
from large cities.
“I think, as a nation, normally rural
services get left out a little bit, which is a
problem for veterans that are isolated,”
he said. “The flexibility will help be-
cause I have a huge district.”
Despite his belief that increasing ac-
cess to private care could mitigate
struggles for rural veterans, Cook said
he feels strongly about preserving tradi-
tional VA hospitals and services tailored
to veterans. If expanding access to pri-
vate care ends up siphoning off funding

for VA hospitals, Cook said he would op-
pose the reforms.
Rep. Raul Ruiz also said veterans liv-
ing far from Southern California’s urban
centers, for example in the eastern Coa-
chella Valley or Blythe, often face diffi-
culty getting VA medical care. Many vet-
erans, particularly with disabilities, rely
appointments and, after making their
way through the VA’s appointment
backlog, sit at the hospital an entire day
for short, routine appointments, Ruiz
said.
But for veterans living in rural areas
far from VA hospitals, expanding access
to private care may not guarantee they’ll
receive the services they need, he add-
ed.
“Policymakers think, ‘If veterans just
go to their private doctor in their com-
munity, they’ll be fine,’ We know that’s
not the case because we have a physi-
cian shortage in so many specialties,”
Ruiz said. “Often times it’s easier for a
veteran to go into a VA clinic and use tel-
emedicine than it is to try to find certain
specialty care in rural America.”
Ruiz, a former emergency room phy-
sician, said his top priority as a legisla-
tor was ensuring veterans receive treat-
ment. In order to provide optimal ser-
vices for veterans, he said the VA needs
to strike a balance between ensuring
veterans who live far from VA facilities
can access care with minimal difficulty
and ensuring the VA continues to pro-
vide care tailored to veterans-specific
needs.
“The VA provides highly specialized,
state of the art care for issues that veter-
ans face like traumatic brain injury,
PTSD and limb replacement. They’re
the best we’ve got in our country for
these ailments,” he said.
Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, also
said allowing veterans to access private
care wouldn’t benefit regions without
an adequate number of doctors, but
added that he’s concerned the policy
may redirect funds to private providers.
“Many veterans will see this loosen-
ing as a good idea, but I have concerns
about sustainability,” he said. “It’ll mat-
ter how the department uses the access
standard. Will they use it as a tool to
push more money and veteran health
dollars into the private sector, or will
they also see a vigorous commitment to
building the internal capacity of the
VA?”
Takano, who chairs the House Com-
mittee on Veterans Affairs, called the
rollout “hasty” and warned that it could
place the VA on a path toward privatiza-
tion.
“What I’m scared of is an ideological
motivation to really allow the internal
capacity of the VA to wither away,” he
said.

meant there were fewer cars that could
break down and become obstacles for
racers behind.
But Team A-OK’s celebration was
short-lived. They were focused on one
of the biggest challenges the race poses:
finishing at all.
Santiago Soria, Arturo’s dad and boss
at A-OK Auto, said just crossing the fin-
ish line is a win.
The Every Man Challenge allows of-
froaders, from professionals to hobby-
ists, a shot at a course so punishing that
only 12 of last year’s 135 racers finished.
And this year’s race was even more chal-
lenging because of freezing wind and
snow.
Near the starting line Wednesday
morning, standing water froze over-
night in the tire-treads carved into what
had been mud the day before. Wind
whipped the freshly fallen snow into
clouds billowing off of the distant
peaks, framing the rugged Johnson Val-
ley. The King of the Hammers’ trails
were traced with ice and snow.
While waiting for his turn to start,
Soria’s breath steamed out from under
his helmet as he gave his wife, Alejandra
Soria, a thumbs-up.
Johnson Valley OHV area, where the
King of the Hammers takes place, is a
96,000-acre park administered by the
Bureau of Land Management featuring
steep rocky cliffs, dry lake beds, washes,
and open desert.
The park has a long history of mili-
tary combat training. BLM said Johnson
Valley was part of “the largest desert
training base in the world” during World
War II, where General George Patton Jr.
trained American soldiers to fight in
North Africa until 1944. And Marines
from the Marine Corps Air Ground Com-
bat Center in Twentynine Palms still
carry out live-fire training exercises in
the area.
The climate and terrain proved ad-
vantageous for military training for the
same reasons it was attractive for rac-
ing. The landscape pushes people to
their limits.
Former Every Man racer Alan John-
son said the first King of the Hammers
race was the crazy idea of a couple of
guys from the Inland Empire who inau-
gurated the event in 2007 with a case of
Soria's 4898 race car is parked at A-OK Auto Shop, his family-owned shop and
home of A-OK racing.
This year, about 500
teams of racers
converged on the high
desert north of
Joshua Tree to take on a
series of races. It’s a mix
of slow, technical rock
climbing and
full-throttle, open
desert racing that has
surged in popularity
since it started in 2007.
beer as the prize.
The group had been coming out to the
Johnson Valley OHV area for years to try
their rigs on the famously technical
boulder patches and climbs, each with a
harrowing name like Jackhammer,
Sledgehammer, and Clawhammer. The
race was a natural extension of the pas-
sion the friends shared for off-roading
and their competitive spirit.
Now the race attracts racers from all
over the nation and from three conti-
nents. It’s just one in a series of races
that Hammerking Productions puts on
throughout the year. And Johnson is an-
other racer in the group that has turned
his hobby into his profession. He’s now
the marketing director for Hammerking.
And in the years since it started, the
race’s popularity has surged, about
65,000 off-road racing enthusiasts
come to watch and more than two mil-
lion stream the broadcast online, John-
son said.
Soria was one of the fans watching
online a few years ago, his mother Angie
Soria said. Soria said her son drew a pic-
ture in kindergarten of him as a race car
driver and it’s been his focus ever since.
The Soria parents started their kids
out on quads on Dillon Road and Ocoti-
llo Wells, where Arturo was one of the
first drivers to conquer the park’s fam-
ous obstacle course, Santiago Soria

said. They got Arturo his first race car
during his freshman year at UC River-
side, where he studied business.
The aptly-named Every Man Chal-
lenge was launched in 2012, after King
of the Hammers racers found that two-
or three-year-old cars were being out-
run, Johnson said. The challenge was to
hold a race for older or larger rigs that
couldn’t keep up with the lighter vehi-
cles. They called this class of cars the
Legends Class.
“The Legends Class is largely made
up of cars on their second or third own-
er,” Johnson said. “Every three or four
years, your new tech gets old. As people
upgrade to new cars, it created this mar-
ket of older cars that were more afford-
able and had a lot of race left in them.”
The Every Man Challenge is among
the most accessible of the King of the
Hammers races. If a racer can get a car
and register, they can try their hand at
the Hammers. Soria’s first attempt was
in 2017.
“We didn’t know anything about rac-
ing,” Santiago Soria said about his son’s
first try at the Every Man Challenge.
“We showed up with a car and a bag of
tools.”

As Soria inspected his car in the park-
ing lot of A-OK Auto the day before he
left for this year’s Every Man Challenge,
he said one of the most attractive as-
pects of the race is the technical rock-
crawling, the sheer size of the boulders
and the strategy it takes to navigate
them. The obstacles make the race as
much a psychological test as a mechan-
ical challenge, he said.

As the sun rose Saturday morning over Palm Springs, cyclists

clad in long-sleeved gear huddled near the Tour de Palm
Springs start line underneath a giant banner. ❚ The 21st annual
event brought thousands of cyclists to Palm Springs for rides of
up to 102 miles. ❚ The first wave of riders took off from Palm
Canyon Drive around 6:30 a.m. Some riders stayed in Palm
Springs while others ventured into cities like La Quinta, Indio
and Palm Desert for rides of 9, 26 and 51 miles. ❚ The event was
expected to raise thousands of dollars for local charities and
educational entities. Since 1999, the nonprofit group behind the
event, CVSPIN, has given more than $3.2 million to charities,
organizers said, including Girl Scout troops, Cub Scout troops,
high school marching bands, the Desert AIDS Project, Guide
Dogs of the Desert, and others.

Backyard beekeeping approved
by council in Rancho Mirage
Sherry Barkas
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Rancho Mirage is amending a muni-
cipal code which currently bans back-
yard hives to help rebuild the dying col-
onies.
“It’s extremely important that we in-
crease our bee supply in the world … be-
cause of the degradation of plant life we
face because we have a dying number of
bees,” council member Dana Hobart
said. “This is an effort to begin some-
thing on a local level to restore colonies.”
Hobart suggested that the amended
ordinance require that residents notify
neighbors within 1,000 to 2,000 feet
when they are bringing hives into their
yards and that the hives be kept at least
10 feet from the property lines, rather
than the 5 feet originally proposed.
The amended ordinance won unani-
mous approval from the council and will
return for a second reading and vote,
likely on Feb. 21, and would go into effect
30 days later.
The amendments to the city’s Keep-
ing, Care and Treatment of Animals
codes follows a suggestion by Dr. Rich-
ard Loftus, a physician with Eisenhower
Health, due to their importance to the
environment, made at a council meet-
ing in November 2017.
Staff began researching the topic and
found it coincided with a nationwide ef-
fort promoting urban beekeeping to re-
build the dying population, which agri-
cultural officials largely blame on pesti-
cide use.
Residential beekeeping is encour-
aged under the Pollinator Health Task
Force, created in 2014 under an order is-
sued by former President Barack Obama
to address the dwindling population of
honeybees and other pollinators.
Pollinators contribute substantially
to the economy of the United States and
are vital to growing fruits, nuts and veg-
etables. Honeybee pollination alone
adds more than $15 billion in value to ag-
ricultural crops annually in the U.S., the
presidential order states.
The number of bee colonies con-
tinues to drop, but at a slower pace, ac-
cording to 2018 surveys by the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture’s National Agri-
cultural Statistics Service, which con-
ducts quarterly reviews of records kept
by 3,300 beekeeping operations with
five or more colonies.
Under the amended ordinance, Ran-
cho Mirage residents of single-family
homes will be allowed to keep up to two
beehive colonies in their backyards.
Lost cat from Santa Barbara is found in Banning
Christopher Damien
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
An 8-year-old Santa Barbara-area
cat lost along Interstate 10 was found
Wednesday in Banning and reunited
with its owners on Friday, after surviv-
ing for two months on her own.
On Dec. 7, Bella, a long-haired brown
tabby, ran into a culvert on Interstate 10
when her owners Randy and Jan Hahka
stopped for a bathroom break near Ban-
ning, during their drive to Phoenix, ac-
cording to a statement released by the
Riverside County Department of Ani-
mal Services.
It was a bathroom break Randy Hah-
ka said he regrets.
Bella the cat was found in Banning after surviving two months on her own. Her
owners from Santa Barbara picked her up on Friday.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES
The Rancho Mirage City Council has approved an ordinance allowing backyard beekeeping in residential areas. The
ordinance needs to come back for a second vote by the council and would become effective 30 days later.
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Other key elements of the ordinance:
❚ All beehive colonies will be kept in
inspectable hives consisting of move-
able frames and combs.
❚ A beekeeper shall maintain ade-
quate records and best management
practices and proof of re-queening ev-
ery two years to prevent swarming.
❚ Every person that is the owner or is
in possession of an apiary must comply
with state registration requirements for
each one owned in Rancho Mirage.
❚ Beekeeping shall be limited to the
western or European honeybees — Apis
mellifera — and must be an ancillary
use to a single-family dwelling.
❚ Hives must be kept where bees
have access to water.
❚ Six-foot barriers — solid fence, wall
or dense vegetation — must separate
neighboring properties.
❚ Beehive colony entrances need to
face away from the nearest property
lines.
The city doesn’t require permits, but
beekeepers must apply for state permits
which are funneled through Riverside
He tried everything he could think of
to get her out of the culvert, Hahka told
animal service staff. He was on his way
to Phoenix to help his mother with doc-
tor’s appointments and had no choice
but to leave after Bella refused to come
out of the culvert.
The cat survived for two months on
her own, until an employee at Coyne Po-
wersports, a motorsports store in Ban-
ning, found Bella. He saw that she was
in poor health, wrapped her in his jack-
et, and called animal control.
Riverside County Animal Services
Officer Carra Mathewson said in a state-
ment that she wasn’t sure Bella would
make it.
“The cat was so bad off,” Officer
Mathewson said. “It was suffering and

County, Jeremy Gleim, development
services director, said.
There are strict regulations from the
state that beekeepers also have to ad-
here to, which is why they have to keep
adequate records for two years, Gleim
said.
“I think the more colonies we have
the better we are,” Rancho Mirage resi-
dent Brad Anderson told the council,
but added that it is important for neigh-
bors to be notified if hives will be kept
nearby.
“They probably have landscapers
that use insecticides … and they may be
prone not to do that if they knew a bee
colony was in the area,” Anderson said.
Palm Desert adopted a similar bee-
keeping ordinance in 2016, allowing
honeybees to be kept in most areas
zoned for single-family dwellings. The
exceptions are mobile home parks,
apartments and condos with shared
open space.
Apiaries are allowed in bid or side
yards with a minimum 5-foot setback
from all property lines and a minimum
on the verge of death. I rushed to the
shelter, but I honestly didn’t think she’d
make the trip.”
Bella was in critical condition when
she arrived at the shelter. She could not
stand on her own and Registered Veteri-
nary Technician Pamela Gates said the
cat’s temperature was so low it wasn’t
registering on the thermometer.
The county’s veterinary staff nursed
Bella back to health, providing her with
food and fluids through an IV. Veteri-
nary Dr. Sara Strongin said the cat en-
tered the shelter at only four pounds,
half her body weight.
“She was too weak to sit up, stand, or
walk, but when we put wet food in front
of her, she shoved her face right into it,”
Dr. Strongin said. “She’s still got a way to

6-foot-high barrier must separate the

Palm Desert allows a maximum of
two beehive colonies on lots under
20,000 square feet and up to four api-
aries on lots 20,000 square feet or larg-
er. Palm Springs has for many years also
allowed beekeeping in all zones, with
the proper permits from City Hall.
“I am thrilled we are going to, in Ran-
cho Mirage, contribute to the restora-
tion of some of the loss of our bee colo-
nies,” Mayor Pro Tem Iris Smotrich said.
A couple of years ago she came home
after being away for a few days and
found thousands of dead bees on her
patio.
“Of course, the cause of their death
was unknown, but everything we can do
to restore these colonies … is impor-
tant,” Smotrich said.

“I can hardly believe it,” Jan Hahka
posted on Facebook when she found out
Bella was still alive.
Veterinary staff found Bella had a mi-
crochip and contacted her owners. They
coordinated an exchange at the San Ja-
cinto Animal Campus.
John Welsh, a spokesperson for Riv-
erside County Animal Services, said
Bella is now back with her owners. And
that the Hahka’s even brought tulips
and a candy bar as a gift for the veteri-
nary staff that saved her life.

Valley foothills
wind gusts could
hit 65 mph today

USA TODAY NETWORK
Wind gusts could reach 65 mph near
valley foothills today.
A wind advisory will be in effect from
10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the National Weather
Service said. Most areas will experience
20 to 35 mph winds with possible gusts
up to 50 mph.
Visibility will likely be reduced dur-
ing the windstorm.
The high winds are caused by an area
of low pressure moving across the valley
that will result in winds blowing over
the mountains and into the deserts, me-
teorologists said.
But the windy episode is expected to

be short-lived, since the weather ser-
vice expects the gusts to die down Sun-
day night.
The wind advisory comes more than
a week after the rain fell on the valley
and temporarily closed Araby Drive, In-
dian Canyon Drive and Vista Chino.
Nearly 3.4 inches of rain has fallen in
Palm Springs since October. A slight
chance of rain is predicted on Sunday
and Wednesday for the area, according
to the weather service.

has taken part in countless airshows, television series and films including Dragnet, Any Which
Way You Can, Magnum P.I. and Miami Vice. On 11/4/1971 it broke a World’s Record flying
from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back in only 1 hour, 11 minutes. This record still stands
today. This aircraft has truly rubbed shoulders with almost every who’s who in Hollywood over
the past 50 years and now fittingly she’ll be spending her retirement here at the Palm Springs

the jet age, he was the wingman on the first jet demo team, a racer in the Thompson Trophy
race, and the only U.S. exchange officer to command an RAF squadron. In the tabloid press
he was the dashing flying hero who married the glamorous movie star. For the current crop of
fighter pilots he is best known as the leader of the F-4 Wolfpack battling over North Vietnam.

established the parameters of the Cold War for the 50 years. For the 75th anniversary, historian
Ed Gordon, co-author of the widely praised Divided on D-Day, will focus on some of the more

Negotiations have broken down between law en-

curb police shootings, with each side proposing their
own bill meant to reduce the number of Californians
killed by police—a development that indicates the
Capitol’s dominant Democrats will likely be divided
as the emotional issue of police shootings takes cen-
ter stage this spring.
Assemblywoman Shirley Weber is reviving a con-
troversial idea she proposed last year: to change the
legal standard for justifying deadly force so that po-

lice can only lawfully kill when it’s “necessary” to
avoid imminent danger.
“Not when you think or feel fear, but when you
know, given the totality of the circumstances, that the
person trying to be apprehended is going to do harm
to you, the officer, or someone in the immediate envi-
ronment,” Weber, a San Diego Democrat, said in an
interview.
The current legal standard, known as the “reason-
able” standard, justifies deadly force whenever a “rea-
sonable officer” in the same circumstance would do
the same thing. It stems from a 1989 U.S. Supreme
Court case and is the reason so few police are prose-
cuted when they kill. Law enforcement officials see
the reasonable standard as a critical legal protection

rodent, flea woe
Craig Clough
City News Service
LOS ANGELES – In response to an outbreak of
flea-borne typhus in the downtown area and a pos-
sible spike in the number of rodents and fleas in City
Hall, the Los Angeles City Council Friday approved a
motion seeking options on combating the problem,
which may include removing all of the carpets.
The motion introduced by Council President Herb
Wesson on Wednesday was fast-tracked, bypassing
the usual protocol of a committee hearing prior to be-
ing brought before the full council.
“I want to make it crystal clear that this council
truly believes that when individuals come to work for
the city of Los Angeles that the only thing they
should be concerned about is getting here on time,”
Wesson said. “They should not be concerned about
coming to work and finding themselves in an unsafe
or unhealthy environment.”
The motion says there has been a “noticeable in-
crease in the volume of rodents in the area and within
city buildings,” and also referenced a recent report by
NBC4 on a City Hall East employee who is convinced
she caught typhus last November from fleas in her
office.
The motion says that Wesson’s office became
aware of vermin issues within his personal City Hall
office that month and brought in pest control experts
who set traps, advised the removal of all live plants
which the rodents were consuming, and recom-
mended the removal or containment of all food prod-
ucts.
The motion says that within two weeks, Wesson’s
office was also experiencing fleas in the carpets, so he
had them removed.
“Since the work has been completed, our employ-
ees have not reported any new rodent or flea issues
within the office,” the motion states.
The motion instructs city staff to report back with
a cost estimate and plan to remove all carpets in City

Fatal officer-involved
shooting in Banning
under investigation
Sherry Barkas
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
The Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department is in-
vestigating an officer-involved shooting that left one
man dead Thursday night in Banning.
Several Banning police officers were called to a
disturbance in front of a home in the 1500 block of
North Blanchard Street about 10:45 p.m., sheriff ’s
Sgt. Ben Ramirez said.
The shooting occurred as officers attempted to de-
tain a male suspect who was ultimately struck by an
officer’s single gunfire, Ramirez said.
The suspect was taken to a local hospital where he
died from the injury, Ramirez said.
The suspect’s name has not been released.
No officers were injured and no other details are
being released at this time, Ramirez said.
Anyone with information on the case can call (951)
955-2777 or the Banning Police Detective Bureau at

Riverside County Sheriff 's officials asked the pub-

who was reported missing earlier this week.
Rebecca Rachel Modrall was reported missing on
Wednesday evening after she failed to return to her
Rancho Mirage home from a friend's house in La
Quinta, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's
Department.
Modrall was last seen on Tuesday in La Quinta,
sheriff 's officials said.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts was
urged to call Investigator Wolfe at (760) 836-1600 or

3 youths arrested in vandalism
to vehicles outside DHS library
City News Service
Three juveniles were arrested Friday and another
was being sought in connection with vandalism to
several vehicles at the Desert Hot Springs Library.
Police responded about 11 a.m. to the parking lot of
the library, at 11691 West Drive, and found that several
vehicles had been damaged, Sgt. Chris Saucier said.
Saucier did not specify the number of vehicles
that were vandalized or how they were damaged, but
said the amount of the damage could lead to felony
charges against the those responsible.
Officers located three juvenile suspects near the
Desert Hot Springs Boys and Girls Club in the 11500
block of Cholla Drive about a half-mile from the li-
brary, he said. Two were taken into custody and one
tried to run away but was chased down and arrested
several blocks away, according to Saucier.
Police were still seeking a fourth person believed
to have been involved.
The juveniles were arrested on suspicion of felony
vandalism, and at least one on suspicion of resisting
arrest.
The parents of the suspects were contacted, police
said.

Sexual assault is alleged
at Coachella Valley High
Joseph Hong
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Authorities are investigating an alleged sexual as-
sault that occurred at Coachella Valley High School in
Thermal.
The Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department
launched its investigation in response to a complaint
it received, but the agency declined to release details
due to the age of those involved in the alleged inci-
dent.
“Due to the incident possibly involving minors, the
details and specifics of the complaint is not releas-
able,” said Deputy Mike Vasquez, spokesman for the
sheriff ’s department.
Coachella Valley Unified School District also con-
firmed that it received a “report of a recent sexual as-
sault” at the high school’s campus but also remained
protective of specific details.
“The district is actively cooperating with local law
enforcement’s open investigation,” said Josie Pa-
redes, assistant superintendent of educational ser-
vices. “For this reason, and in the interest of the priva-
cy rights of our student under the California Constitu-
tion, we are not able to provide further detail at this
time.”
One concerned parent, Juan Damian, whose
daughter Annik is a senior at the school, said he heard
about the alleged incident from a teacher on Friday
What California’s ‘nonbinary’ gender
designation will cost teen drivers
Dan Morain
CALmatters
In a little-noticed side impact of California’s 2018
law granting drivers the option of listing their gender
as nonbinary, California’s Department of Insurance
has decreed that auto insurance companies can no
longer grant breaks in insurance rates to teen drivers
who are female or charge young men more.
Outgoing Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, in
one of his final acts in office, issued a regulation last
month prohibiting the use of gender in automobile in-
surance rating, similar to regulations in six other
states.
Jones’ replacement, Insurance Commissioner Ri-
cardo Lara, supports that policy, saying in a state-
ment: “Gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation
are beyond your control, and it is not a fair or even an
effective way to predict risk.”
Jones’ regulatory action received coverage in The
New York Times and elsewhere. But the genesis of
Jones’ decision received far less attention—and had
nothing to do with car insurance.
It was, at least in part, legislation by Senate Presi-
dent Pro Tem Toni Atkins granting motorists the op-
tion of listing their gender as male, female or nonbina-
ry. As the bill wended its way through the Legislature,
Atkins and other backers said it would be a blow for
equality.
“Mindful of all the people I know who are gender-
nonconforming, and the families I know with trans-
gender children, I wanted to make sure that California
continued to be a leader in gender-identity equality,”
Atkins said after Gov. Jerry Brown signed it into law in
October.
Lobbyists for insurance companies had been neu-
tral on the bill, having received assurances that it
would have no impact on auto insurance rates.
her staffers screaming and reacting to a rodent run-
ning down a hallway, and Councilman Joe Buscaino
posted on Twitter a note he shared with his staff, tell-
ing them that the office is being visited by rodents and
reminding them not to leave food and dishes out over-
night.
During comments on the council chamber floor,
Buscaino pointed to a 2016 federal court ruling that
limits the amount of homeless encampment cleanups
the city can do in the Skid Row area and prevents the
city from seizing and destroying homeless people’s
property in Skid Row and nearby areas without post-
ing advance notice.
U.S. District Court Judge S. James Otero also or-
dered the city to segregate and store impounded be-
longings where they can be recovered. The ruling has
led to a significant increase in homeless encamp-
ments in downtown, Buscaino said.
“That injunction is prohibiting our outreach work-
ers from getting to our most vulnerable homeless pop-
ulation in and around the downtown area. So rats are
a symbol of this injunction,” he said.
Members of the Personnel and General Services
departments told the council that they are already
working on the rodent and flea problem. A pest con-
trol vendor is currently inspecting every floor of City
Hall and City Hall East to identity and address any
problems with fleas or rodents, they said.
According to Wesson’s motion and a member of the
Personnel Department, the current demolition of the
Los Angeles Police Department’s former Parker Cen-
ter headquarters building, which has been mostly va-
cant since 2013 and is across the street from City Hall
East, may be partly responsible for the rodents in the
Civic Center area.
Typhus is not transmitted person-to-person, and
flea-borne typhus can spread to people from infected
fleas and their feces. Typhus infection can be prevent-
ed through flea control measures on pets, using insect
repellent to avoid flea bites, and clearing areas that
can attract wild or stray animals like cats, rats and
opossums, according to the Department of Public
Health.
Symptoms of typhus include high fever, chills,
headache, muscle aches and rash and can be treated
with antibiotics.
afternoon.
“Knowing this is going on on campus is scary,” said
Damian, who was informed that the alleged assault
occurred after school earlier in the week. “Knowing
that the administration of CV High School and the su-
perintendent have not reached out to parents, I’m not
at ease with it.”
Damian drew a correlation between this reported
incident and the school board’s decision in July 2018
to terminate a contract with Riverside County Sher-
iff ’s Department for school resource officers.
“They removed the resource officers and the sher-
iffs from the campus,” Damian said. “Finding out
about this makes me very concerned because my
daughter does stay after school throughout the week
and sometimes until 8:30 at night.”
Especially for students participating in after-
school programs, Damian said the school needs “not
just more security but the right security. Professionals
that know what they’re doing.”
While he’s concerned for his daughter’s safety, he
said he’ll send his daughter to school on Monday
while contacting her regularly throughout the day.
“She doesn’t really like to miss school,” Damian
said. “I’ll probably have her stay in contact with me
and make sure she’s never alone.”

Rex Frazier, president of the Personal Insurance
Federation of California, which represents several
major auto insurance companies, said insurers were
blindsided by Jones’ justification for the regulation,
pointing out that none of the 10 legislative analyses of
the Atkins bill made any mention of the bill’s impact
on insurance rates.
“It is commonly understood that teenage male
drivers are generally a higher risk than teenage female
drivers,” Frazier said in a letter to the Department of
Insurance. “Eliminating gender rating would require
female teenage drivers to subsidize teenage male
drivers.”
Frazier said the gender of teen drivers can result in
an additional cost for boys or discount for girls of
about 6 percent on their premiums.
Drivers who list their gender as nonbinary proba-
bly would have been given a lower cost than boys, he
said, though under the new rule, gender cannot be
taken into account.
In a separate letter to the Insurance Department,
the American Insurance Association, an insurance
trade group, wrote: “Senate Bill 179 was designed to
reduce barriers to existing name and gender change
procedures. The bill was never intended, nor was it
drafted, to affect established and demonstrated in-
surance rating factors such as gender.”
The association also cited a 2016 Insurance Insti-
tute report saying: “Men typically drive more miles
than women and more often engage in risky driving
practices, including not using safety belts, driving
while impaired by alcohol, and speeding.”
In the rule-making process, Jones responded to
the insurance groups by stating that “the Legislature
may not have specifically intended to eliminate gen-
der-based insurance rating” but that Atkins’ legisla-
tion had “relevance as a statement of California’s val-
ues around the role of gender in society.”

ly opposed Weber’s bill last year.
Weber, who plans to announce the bill at a Capitol
press conference this morning, said a new standard
will make officers safer too.
“We believe the necessary standard is an absolute,
and a standard that has to exist because it talks
about the sanctity of life,” she said.
“I think we all have always believed that officers
only used deadly force when they had no other op-
tions available to them. That has always been my per-
ception, and I discovered later that it’s not really
true.”
Her legislation is backed by a coalition of civil
rights groups and families who have lost loved ones
to police shootings. Law enforcement groups are
likely to fight it.
Instead, law enforcement groups announced sep-
arate legislation Tuesday, backing a bill to require po-
lice departments to adopt policies that detail tech-
niques for avoiding force and guidelines for when
deadly force is appropriate, and to develop a new
statewide training program to educate officers on use
of force rules. The bill, which has not yet been as-
signed a number, will be carried by state Sen. Anna
Caballero, a Salinas Democrat.
It will “provide the utmost and highest standard of
training for our officers around California… to find
ways to reduce incidences of the use of force,” David
Swing, President of California Police Chiefs Associa-
tion, said in a phone call with reporters.
Their bill also changes the legal standard for using
force, but in a way that is narrower than Weber’s.
The law enforcement coalition, which includes
rank-and-file officers in the Peace Officers Research
Association of California, is also asking the state for
$300 million over the next three years to provide
more homeless services, mental health professionals
and substance abuse programs with which police
can coordinate.

Man’s devotion to his PEZ
dispensers leads to podcast
Mark Saal
Standard-Examiner
OGDEN, Utah – Justin D. Hansen
ends each podcast with the same sage
advice for his listeners: “Go out and dis-
pense some good today.”
It’s a particularly fitting admonition
given that the topic of the weekly show
is PEZ dispensers, those handheld
spring-loaded candy dispensers topped
with the heads of cartoon characters
and other cultural icons.
The Ogden man, who co-hosts “The
PEZ Collection Podcast” with fellow col-
lector Andrea Gage of Dos Palos, col-
lects all things PEZ-related. He’s got ev-
erything from vintage 1950s-era PEZ
dispensers to the very latest styles. He’s
amassed boxes of the tiny brick-shaped
candies that the dispensers eject. And
he’s collected all sorts of other memora-
bilia like shirts and pajamas and posters
– anything you can think of with the PEZ
name on it.
“PEZ is so just much fun,” Hansen ad-
mits. “Everybody’s got a story from hav-
ing PEZ when they were younger.”
Hansen’s own story begins two dec-
ades ago in Slaterville, where he started
collecting PEZ while a student at Fre-
mont High School. It began with a few
“Garfield” PEZ dispensers (you know,
the cat who loves lasagna and hates
Mondays), and it just grew from there.
“I’m like anybody,” Hansen said.
“You’d pick up a few PEZ here and there,
and think they were cool, but what do
you do with it? So my real interest in
PEZ sat dormant until I saw what it
could become.”
Hansen finally caught a glimpse of
his PEZ-collecting future two years ago,
after seeing a set of eight or nine Gar-
field and Odie dispensers at the quirky
Smith & Edwards warehouse store. He
suddenly felt the urge to collect them all,
and realized PEZ dispensers could make
a pretty darn fine hobby.
Today, Hansen – who by day is a win-
dow washer for Extreme Cleaning in Og-
den – estimates he owns about 2,000
PEZ dispensers from all over the world,
including Austria, Sweden, Hong Kong
and the U.S. He admits his collection is
small compared to some, and the prob-
lem with collectibles is that it’s a never-
ending process.
“You can never really have them all,”
he said.
That’s because the makers of PEZ are
constantly adding new dispensers –
some in extremely limited runs. For ex-
ample, in the 1960s PEZ came out with a
Mary Poppins dispenser in honor of the
Disney movie starring Julie Andrews.
“They made a limited run of that one
and distributed it, but it didn’t really
look like Mary Poppins and Disney told
them to stop producing it,” Hansen said.
Today, that dispenser is quite rare
and valuable.
Other PEZ dispensers are even less
common. For the royal wedding of
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the
company made PEZ dispensers in the
couple’s likenesses – but they only
made one of each, and auctioned them
off for Make-a-Wish, according to Han-
sen.
“They got almost $10,000 for that,
because there was only one available,”
he said.
And sometimes, folks use 3-D print-
ers to make their own PEZ dispensers.
Hansen says it’s not really pirating be-
cause the company actually promotes
the idea.
“My daughter even made a PEZ dis-
penser of my head – she made it out of
clay, and it looks a lot like me,” he said.
Hansen’s favorite out of his 2,000
PEZ “children”? Probably his rare psy-
chedelic dispenser from the 1960s. It
features a hand with an eyeball in the
middle and reads “Luv PEZ” down the
side of the dispenser.
Currently, Hansen is in the process of
creating a PEZ room in his house. His
“enabler” fiancee, Emily Jones (The PEZ
world is divided into two groups – col-
lectors, and their loved ones, called en-
ablers), gave the go-ahead to use part of
the unfinished basement.
“I put up drywall, so it’s like my man
cave,” he said. “And it will eventually be
a PEZ cave.”
According to the official PEZ website,
the candy was created in 1927 by Eduard
Haas III, of Austria. The peppermint bits
were originally introduced in small tins,
with the “PEZ” letters coming from
“Pfferrerminz,” the German word for
peppermint. In 1949, the first PEZ me-

chanical dispenser was patented and
introduced by inventor Oscar Uxa.
“It was actually made for a non-
smoking tool,” Hansen explains. “But it
didn’t do well as an adult stop-smoking
tool.”
So what did they do when PEZ failed
to catch on as a smoking-cessation
product for adults?
“They marketed it to children,” Han-
sen says
And that’s when the whimsical dis-
pensers really took off.
Unlike the hard sheets of pink bubble
gum in a pack of collectible baseball
cards, Hansen said a lot of collectors ac-
tually love the PEZ candies – although
he isn’t so big on the “chalky flavor.” He
used to feed the candy pellets to his
kids, until they got sick of them.
“Now, I keep the candy and hand
them out – or do an art project with
them,” Hansen said. “I built a ginger-
bread house out of them once.
“And one collector in Michigan
makes beer out of the candy,” he con-
tinued. “The sugar in the candies makes
a good beer. I’ve never tried it myself,
but a lot of people love it.”
Hansen and Gage started their week-
ly PEZ podcast last June – they’ve done
about 30 episodes thus far.
“I think Justin is a wonderful guy,”
Gage said. “It’s amazing how quickly
you can become friends over just a small
thing like PEZ.
With listeners in 10 countries, the two
podcasters often have guests on to talk
about their collections.

end production of the audio file. They
record each show in a video conferenc-

“Justin and I have never met in per-
son,” Gage says, “only online over Zoom.
We hope to meet at a convention some-
time – not this year, but maybe next
year.”
Gage, too, began collecting PEZ dis-
pensers in her youth, although she’s
been much more active in the last few
years.
“As my father says, he thinks I’ve kept
everything I’ve ever been given as a AVE 42

Man accused of falsely
reporting vehicle stolen
RIVERSIDE – A Kern County man
who reported his vehicle was stolen in
Riverside with his two-year-old son in-
side it was arrested for making a false
police report Saturday.
The man, whose identity was not
disclosed, initially told police that his
2007 Ford Taurus was taken by a
female acquaintance who was accom-
panying him while he purchased an-
other vehicle, according to Riverside
City police Officer Ryan Railsback.
The man told officers that the Tau-
rus containing his toddler and $5,000
cash he planned to use to buy a vehicle
was stolen at about 3 p.m. from the
8900 block of Haskell Street while he
was off on a test-drive, police said.
However, after police questioned
the man he admitted that the vehicle
was not stolen and that the child was
actually his dog, according to Rails-
back.
“We were just about to issue an Am-
ber Alert,” he said.
Police have not been able to contact
the woman, also from Kern County,
who was involved. It was unclear if she
was in on the ruse, Railsback said.

Warren launches bid for White House Shipless firm
Ryan W. Miller and Christal Hayes
USA TODAY
Sen. Elizabeth Warren officially
jumped into the 2020 presidential race
Saturday, joining a crowded field of
Democratic challengers as she faces
fresh criticism over her claims of Native
American heritage.
“This is the fight of our lives. The fight
to build an America where dreams are
possible, an America that works for ev-
eryone,” Warren said. “And that is why I
stand here today: to declare that I am a
candidate for President of the United
States of America.”
During her rally in Lawrence, Massa-
chusetts, she also received some high-
profile endorsements from several law-
makers, including Rep. Joe Kennedy III
and Sen. Ed Markey, both key Demo-
crats from Massachusetts.
“No one knows how to fight for what
is right better than Elizabeth Warren,”
Markey said. “No one knows how to get
under Donald Trump’s skin better than
Elizabeth Warren.”
She touted her support for progres-
sive politics, including increasing the
minimum wage and Medicare for All.
She propped up embracing diversity
and the immigrants who helped build
the nation, all with a backdrop of Everett
Mills, the site of a workers strike 100
years ago led by women and immigrants
that boosted workers rights.

Ohio coroners issue warnings
following new opioid death spikes
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Coroners in two
of Ohio’s largest counties have issued
warnings following the reappearance of
an opioid so powerful it’s sometimes
used to sedate elephants. Dr. Anahi Or-
tiz, coroner of Franklin County which
includes Columbus, said there were at
least three carfentanil-related overdose
deaths in January. Ortiz said the county
saw six carfentanil-related deaths in all
of 2018. Cuyahoga County Medical Ex-
aminer Dr. Thomas Gilson issued a sim-
ilar warning Thursday in the Cleveland
area.
Beto O’Rourke described Monday’s march as an effort to
“show the country the reality of the border.” KATHY WILLENS/AP
even more so on Monday.”
“He’s offering us a chance to tell our
story and we’re going to take that
chance, all of us,” O’Rourke told the El
Paso Times.
The president triggered local anger
by alleging in his State of the Union ad-
dress that El Paso “used to have ex-
tremely high” crime rate before a border
fence was constructed and that the rate
of crime dropped substantially after it
was completed.
The statement quickly prompted
blowback from local politicians and law
enforcement figures. Even Mayor Dee
Margo, a Republican, insisted that El
Paso was “never” among the nation’s
most dangerous cities.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., touted

diversity and immigrants in Saturday’s
speech. JOSEPH PREZIOSO/AFP/GETTY IMAGES
She told the story of the strikes, using
it as an example that even those without
power can work together to shape policy
and change America.
Warren already faces a sea of high-
profile Democratic opponents contend-
ing for their party’s nomination. Sens.
Kamala Harris and Cory Booker an-
nounced their bids in recent weeks.
The Massachusetts Democrat an-
nounced her exploratory committee for
her campaign on New Year’s Eve but
hadn’t officially thrown her hat in the
ring.
Warren, 69, has faced recent contro-
versy over her past claims that she was
of Native American descent.
Edward Zigler, ‘father of Head
Start,’ dies in Connecticut
NORTH HAVEN, Conn. – Edward Zi-
gler, a Yale University professor who
helped create the Head Start program
for disadvantaged preschoolers in the
1960s, has died at his Connecticut
home. He was 88 years old. The univer-
sity said in a statement that Zigler,
known as the “father of Head Start,”
died in his sleep Thursday in North
Haven. After President Lyndon Johnson
declared a war on poverty, Zigler and
others founded the child development
program that has served more than
32 million children since 1965.

El Paso’s “extremely high” crime rate. CAROLYN KASTER/AP
The issue also sparked a flood of
memes on social media ridiculing the
portrayal of El Paso as a once crime-in-
fested border town.
O’Rourke, who represented El Paso in
Congress before narrowly losing a bid to
replace Republican Ted Cruz in the Sen-
ate, hammered Trump during his cam-
paign over the wall in particular, and im-
migration.
Now, that he is on the verge of pos-
sibly entering a race for the White

the same message.

by his skillful use of the social media,

She apologized Wednesday for “not
having been more sensitive about trib-
al citizenship” after The Washington
Post published a 1986 Texas bar regis-
tration card where she listed her race
as “American Indian.”
“I’m not a tribal citizen,” Warren
said. “My apology is an apology for not
having been more sensitive about trib-
al citizenship and tribal sovereignty. I
really want to underline the point,
tribes and only tribes determine tribal
citizenship.”
Warren apologized multiple times
in the past month. In response to the
Post’s story, Warren said she “can’t go
back,” in terms of claiming the heritage
and that she was sorry for “furthering
confusion on tribal sovereignty” and
the harm she caused.
In a private conversation, Warren
told Cherokee Nation leadership that
she was sorry about her DNA test that
aimed to prove Native American an-
cestry, according to media reports.
President Donald Trump, who
could face Warren in the general elec-
tion, has long derided her heritage
claims and often refers to her as “Poca-
hontas.”
After Saturday’s announcement,
Warren plans to head to New Hamp-
shire, where the first primary will take
place, and then Iowa on Sunday, home

loses Brexit
ferry contract
Jill Lawless
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON – The British government
canceled a contract to ship goods to
the country after it leaves the Euro-
pean Union with a company that
turned out to have no boats and no ex-
perience running a ferry service.
Authorities had been criticized for
the $18 million deal with Seaborne
Freight, part of plans to keep trade
flowing if Britain leaves the EU with-
out a divorce deal.
The U.K. Department for Transport
said Saturday that it had ended the
contract because an Irish firm that was
backing Seaborne Freight, Arklow
Shipping, had withdrawn its support.
The department said no taxpayer
money had been transferred to the
company. It said the government was
“in advanced talks with a number of
companies to secure additional freight
capacity” if there is a no-deal Brexit.
Britain is due to leave the EU on
March 29 but British businesses fear a
no-deal Brexit will cause gridlock at
ports by ripping up the trade rulebook.
Criticism of the deal increased
when it was discovered that part of
Seaborne’s website appeared to have
been copied from a food delivery firm.

Migrants bide their time waiting to cross border
Many say process is slow,
but that it’s well worth it
Yfat Yossifor
San Angelo Standard-Times
USA TODAY NETWORK
PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico – Freddie
Valdez doesn’t have a specific location
in mind. Anywhere in the U.S. is better
than home.
The Honduran citizen left home more
than 20 days ago. He walked, hitchhiked
and eventually got on a bus to make his
way to Piedras Negras, across the Rio
Grande from Eagle Pass, Texas.
He was part of the caravan of 1,800
migrants seeking asylum Thursday.
They arrived at the border town Mon-
day.
“I want a better life for my family;
back home the situation was bad,” he
said. “It was too dangerous.”
He plans to wait his turn, as long as it
takes to get his permit to get into the
U.S. Then he will send for his family to
join him. U.S. officials said Wednesday
they can process about 16 asylum seek-
ers daily.
Honduras is plagued with violent
crime, and its murder rate remains the
highest in the world despite being
curbed in recent years, according to Hu-
man Rights Watch.
At Piedras Negras, buses were loaded
with people opting to self-deport back
to Honduras.

migrants is about a 20-minute drive

from the border and was once a factory.
Mexican police with riot gear stand
watch along the perimeter.
Some migrants, mostly the men,
stand at the barricades, some sleep on
blankets or chairs while kids do crafts at
a nearby table or play soccer and other
games in the courtyard.
Last week, on the U.S. side of the bor-
der, about 500 Texas state troopers, 50
reserve deputies from across the state
and 250 active duty military were dis-
patched to the area around Eagle Pass in
response to the influx of migrants in
Piedras Negras.
The caravan started in Honduras, but
Chief Rex Strickland said.
Firefighters used several tools, in-
cluding the hydraulic Jaws of Life . The
tool, normally used to open vehicles
with people trapped inside, can create
an opening large enough for a person to
climb through.
Spokane firefighters recovered doz-
ens of engraved, silver dishes, pottery
by a renowned local artist Dorothy Fow-
ler and a 58-year-old check for $2 when
they opened the safe.
Firefighters also found a smaller safe
along the way people from Guatemala,
Nicaragua and El Salvador joined. Mi-
randa said the caravan was organized
by someone they knew as “Carlos,” but
he was deported before they reached
Piedras Negras.
Miranda said they came to the Texas
border instead of northern Mexico ports
like Tijuana because they felt there were
likely fewer migrants in Piedras Negras,
making it a safer port to seek asylum.
Miranda said the migrants didn’t
know they would be detained for proc-
essing for so long.
He said one of the problems is the
lack of communication and orderly way
inside.
Strickland said hiring a locksmith for
the smaller safe would have probably
cost around $500, so the department
decided to use different destructive
tools to open the larger safe and a ham-
mer and crowbar to open the smaller
safe.
The fire department pried opened the
smaller safe in front of YWCA CEO Regi-
na Malveaux and a group of reporters
Tuesday afternoon, and found a metal
box containing a $2 check for day care
to process the migrants. Each person
was given a wristband with a number,
yet the immigration officers are not call-
ing people in numerical order, he said.
“I’m number 897 and I will wait pa-
tiently if I knew there were 897 before
me, but it seems to be who woke up first
in the morning or a random person they
pick,” he said.
In El Salvador, Miranda worked long
hours for low pay.
When he finally got paid, he would
turn a corner and run into organized
criminals who would take his money. He
sustained injuries.
“In my country, instead of the young
burying the elderly, it’s the elderly bury-
ing the youth,” he said. “Because the
youth are being taken over by the car-
tel.”
Leaning in on the yellow fence, the
men standing with Miranda agree. Go-
ing back is not an option for them. Asy-
lum is worth the wait.
There to assist with humanitarian ef-
forts, a team with Doctors Without Bor-
ders continue to assess the needs of the
migrants at the shelter. The team has
carried out mental health consultations
mainly so far.
A loud speaker crackled in the com-
pound, and lunch was announced.
The men dispersed to stand in long
lines to receive a plate with chicken,
beans and rice.
“We come in peace to look for work
and help our families, we didn’t set out
with the idea of violating the law,” Mi-
randa said.
“We are workers and we want a better
life.”

More states add gun seizure laws
Opponents say ‘red flag’
rules skip due process
Ryan J. Foley
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the year since the deadly mass shooting at a Flor-
ida high school, more states have passed laws that
make it easier to take guns from people who may be
suicidal or bent on violence, and courts are issuing an
unprecedented number of seizure orders across the
country.
Supporters say these “red flag” laws are among the
most promising tools to reduce the nearly 40,000 sui-
cides and homicides by firearm each year in the U.S.
Gun advocates, though, say such measures undermine
their constitutional rights and can result in people be-
ing stripped of their weapons on false or vindictive ac-
cusations.
Nine states passed laws in past year that allow po-
lice or household members to seek court orders requir-
ing people deemed threatening to temporarily surren-
der their guns, bringing the total to 14. Several more are
likely to follow.
More than 1,700 orders that allow guns to be seized
for weeks, months or up to a year were issued in 2018
by the courts after they determined the individuals
were a threat to themselves or others, according to da-
ta from several states obtained by The Associated
Press. That number is probably higher since the data
was incomplete and didn’t include California.
The laws gained momentum after it was learned
that Nikolas Cruz, the man accused in the Florida at-
tack, was known to be mentally troubled yet had ac-
cess to weapons, including the assault-style rifle used
to kill 17 students and staff members at Parkland’s
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
“Parkland would never have happened if Florida
had a red-flag law,” Linda Beigel Schulman said during
a recent news conference with New York Gov. Andrew
Cuomo, who is expected to sign his state’s new law.
Schulman’s son, Scott Beigel, was a teacher and coach
killed at Parkland.
Florida passed a red-flag law after the shooting.
Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont have since adopted
variations. California, Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon
and Washington already had similar laws.
Several states are debating them this year, includ-
ing New Mexico, where two students were killed in a
school shooting in December 2017.

Calls increase for Fairfax’s resignation
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. – Calls were mounting for Vir-
ginia’s lieutenant governor to resign Saturday, at the
tail end of a week that saw the state’s top three elected
officials, all Democrats, embroiled in potentially ca-
reer-ending scandals fraught with questions of race,
sex and power.
Two women accused Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexu-
al assault, which he has denied. After the second alle-
gation was made Friday, Fairfax – who stands to be-
come the state’s second black governor if Gov. Ralph
Northam resigns over a racist photo – was barraged
with demands to step down from top Democrats, in-
cluding a number of presidential hopefuls and most of
Virginia’s congressional delegation.
Northam, a year into his four-year term, announced
his intention to stay at a Friday afternoon Cabinet
meeting, according to a senior official who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
In so doing, Northam defied practically the entire
Democratic Party, which rose up against him after a
racist photo on his 1984 medical school yearbook sur-
faced and he acknowledged wearing blackface in the
1980s.
On Saturday, Northam made his first official public
appearance since he denied being in the photo. He at-
tended the funeral for a state trooper killed in a shoot-
out. He made no public comments in Chilhowie, four
hours west of the tumult in Richmond, and wasn’t list-
ed as a speaker in the funeral program.
Moments after Northam’s Friday meeting with this
FDA questions makers’ efforts to combat teen vaping
Matthew Perrone
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – The head of the Food and Drug
Administration is questioning whether electronic cig-
arette maker Juul and its new partner Altria are fol-
lowing through on pledges to help reverse the boom in
underage vaping.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb on Friday posted
letters he sent to Juul and Altria, the maker of Marlbo-
ro cigarettes and other tobacco products. He called for
a joint meeting to discuss what he calls “inconsistent”
statements from the companies.
Gottlieb and other government officials have been
scrambling to contain a surge in underage vaping. Un-
der federal law, people must be at least 18 years old to
purchase vaping products, yet the latest federal sur-
vey found one in five high school students used e-cig-
arettes.
Last year’s uptick coincided with the rise of Juul, a
small vaping device that accounts for about three-
quarters of the U.S. e-cigarette market.
In December, Altria paid nearly $13 billion to pur-
chase a 35 percent stake in Juul, a Silicon Valley star-
tup that has portrayed its products as a less harmful
alternative for adult cigarette smokers. E-cigarettes
heat a nicotine solution into a vapor that’s inhaled.
The acquisition came after Altria told the FDA it
was pulling some of its own flavored e-cigarettes off

three months after the state’s law went into effect
Oct. 1.
Montgomery County Sheriff Darren Popkin said the
cases included four “significant” threats of school
shootings, and that a majority of the people who were
subjects of the orders were suffering from mental
health crises.
“These orders are not only being issued appropri-
ately, they are saving lives,” Popkin told lawmakers
last month.
Gun-rights advocates argue that the laws can be
used unfairly based on unproven accusations.
“In today’s society, the police are going to err on the
side of caution. The threshold for issuing these types
of warrants has been lowered,” said Scott Wilson Sr.,
president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League.
Debates in state legislatures often turn on how
much due process gun owners should receive and who
can petition for the orders. In some states, only police
can file the petitions. Other states allow members of
the person’s household, relatives, school officials, em-
ployers and health care providers to do so.
Most states allow for temporary orders that are is-
sued for days or weeks. Judges then hold hearings to
decide whether to extend them for up to one year.
During the debate in New Mexico, Army veteran Ri-
co Giron testified that people could see their guns
seized over grudges between family members or
neighbors.

Cabinet, a second woman went public with accusa-
tions against Fairfax. A lawyer for Meredith Watson,
39, said in a statement that Fairfax raped Watson 19
years ago while they were students at Duke University.
The statement said it was a “premeditated and ag-
gressive” assault and that while Watson and Fairfax
had been social friends, they were never involved ro-
mantically.
The lawyer, Nancy Erika Smith, said her team had
statements from ex-classmates who said Watson “im-
mediately” told friends Fairfax raped her. A public re-
lations firm representing Watson provided The Asso-
ciated Press with a 2016 email exchange with a female
friend and 2017 text exchanges in which Watson said
Fairfax had raped her.
the market to be “part of the solution.” The company
said specifically that cartridge-based products,
which include Juul, “significantly contribute to the
rise in youth use of e-vapor products.”
But since investing in Juul, Altria has announced
plans to use its vast supply chain to expand Juul’s
footprint to some 230,000 convenience stores and re-
tailers across the U.S. Altria is the parent company of
Philip Morris USA, the nation’s largest tobacco com-
pany.
Gottlieb said the company’s recent actions don’t
match its previous statements.
“I want to understand what’s changed from a pub-
lic health standpoint that their posture has changed,”
Gottlieb said Friday.
In response, the two companies said they remain
committed to stopping teens from getting their prod-
ucts.
“Both Altria and Juul have taken significant steps
that exceed what others in the industry have done,”
said Altria spokesman Steven Callahan, in an emailed
statement.
The FDA proposed tighter restrictions on the e-cig-
arette industry in November, including limits on sales
in convenience stores and online, but it hasn’t imple-
mented them yet. Juul and Altria took steps to limit
youth access ahead of the FDA’s announcement. Juul
shut down its Facebook and Instagram accounts and
pulled several fruit and candy flavors out of stores.
for vindictiveness and revenge,” Giron said.
In Vermont, a prosecutor obtained an order to strip
gun rights from a teenager released from jail after be-
ing accused of plotting a school shooting.
Florida courts granted more than 1,000 orders in the
first nine months of its new law. Broward County,
which includes Parkland, has been at the forefront, ac-
counting for about 15 percent of cases statewide.
Among the first people subjected to the law was
Cruz’s younger brother, who authorities said was
showing signs of violence after allegedly trespassing
at the high school after the shooting. In another case,
Florida authorities took dozens of firearms from a bai-
liff accused of threatening other courthouse employ-
ees.
Connecticut has the nation’s longest-standing red-
flag law, which went into effect in 1999 after a mass
shooting at the state lottery office. Authorities there
say new awareness of the law contributed to a spike in
2018 in warrants issued to take away weapons – 268,
the highest total on record, according to court data.
The rise reflects the more aggressive posture police
have adopted since the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown and other at-
tacks.
One study found that the Connecticut law reduced
gun suicides by more than 10 percent in recent years
and that a similar law in Indiana led to a 7.5 percent
drop.
Watson’s representatives declined to provide fur-
ther documentation and said their client would not
talk to the media.
Fairfax denied the new allegation, as he did the first,
leveled earlier by Vanessa Tyson, a California college
professor who said Fairfax forced her to perform oral
sex on him at a Boston hotel in 2004.
“It is obvious that a vicious and coordinated smear
campaign is being orchestrated against me,” Fairfax
said. “I will not resign.”
Duke campus police have no criminal reports nam-
ing Fairfax, university spokesman Michael Schoenfeld
said. Durham police spokesman Wil Glenn also said he
couldn’t find a report in the department’s system on
the 2000 allegation.
Many Democrats who had withheld judgment after
the first accusation against Fairfax, saying the matter
needed to be investigated, immediately condemned
him. A cascade of calls for Fairfax to resign began Fri-
day evening.
Top Democrats running for president in 2020 called
for Fairfax’s resignation, including Sens. Cory Booker
of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Eliz-
abeth Warren of Massachusetts.
On Saturday, Virginia’s House of Delegates Speaker
Kirk Cox joined the chorus calling for Fairfax’s resigna-
tion. Cox – a Republican, and third in line for governor
should Northam step down – said in a statement that
Fairfax’s ability to govern has been “permanently im-
paired” by the “multiple, serious credible allegations”
of sexual assault.

Divorce remains
in the digital age
Ryan W. Miller
USA TODAY
Rosina Bosco and her then-husband
were like many couples she saw on
Facebook.
They regularly posted photos on va-
cations, at concerts and of the activ-
ities. Her social media feeds were al-
ways bombarded with images of
friends getting together and having
families.
“All you see on social media is wed-
dings and babies,” she said.
So when it came to updating her pro-
files after her divorce, it was “incredibly
painful.”
“All of a sudden I have to basically
shed half of my world,” Bosco, 34, said.
“Five years of our relationship was up
on Facebook. Like, what are you sup-
posed to do?”
A friend came over one day to go
through it. “She would say a name, and
I would say, ‘Yes,’ and she would de-
friend them,” Bosco said. For photos,
the task became too challenging, so she
created a new profile.
Bosco is in increasingly rare compa-
ny being divorced and millennial. In
September, millennials made head-
lines for “killing” divorce when re-
search found that the U.S. divorce rate
dropped from 2008 to 2017 and that
younger couples were driving the
trend.
But some millennials are getting di-
vorced. In doing so, they face an array
of changes – decoupling on social
media, swiping through dating apps
and utilizing online legal services – that
comes with splitting in the digital era.
“Social media can be this knife that
stabs into your wound and makes it
worse,” Bosco said.
Dealing with her social media pres-
ence was one of the hardest parts of
moving on. She said she wished there
was a “101” guide on being a divorcee
online.
New York divorce attorney Bryan M.
Goldstein, a millennial, said he’s seen
how social media effects his clients.
Whether it’s deleting accounts or see-
ing posts from an ex, using the plat-
forms can be challenging right after a
split, Goldstein, said.

term relationship felt foreign, Bosco

Leader of climate panel predicting ‘bold action’

Matthew Daly
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – It does not have of-
fice space, staff or even Republican
members, but Florida Rep. Kathy Castor
is confident that a special House com-
mittee on climate change will play a
leading role on one of the most daunting
challenges facing the planet.
Castor, who chairs the new panel,
says those early obstacles can be over-
come as lawmakers move to reduce car-
bon pollution and create clean-energy
jobs.
“The Democratic caucus is unified
under the belief we have to take bold ac-
tion on the climate crisis,” Castor said.
While that can take many forms, the
transition to renewable energy such as
wind and solar power is “job one,” she
said.

representing the Tampa Bay area, said
Congress has a “moral obligation” to
protect future generations from the
costly effects of climate change, includ-

Change your screen habits from
time-wasting to money-saving
Courtney Jespersen
NerdWallet
Apple’s Screen Time feature can tell
you more about your iPhone usage than
you may care to know, such as how
many text notifications you receive, the
number of hours you spend on social
networking and how your total usage on
any given day stacks up against your av-
erage.
The numbers can be surprising. If
you find yourself wasting too much of
your day on your phone or tablet, here
are some ideas for how to use your time
and devices for something more pro-
ductive – like saving money.
Double-click on your usage
First, be honest about how many
hours you spend staring at a screen.
Mike Johansson, a senior lecturer in
communication at Rochester Institute
of Technology, has asked his students to
keep track of how they spend their time.
“Over time, I had a few students who
came back to me and said, ‘I was
amazed. I didn’t realize that over the
course of a week I was averaging three to
four hours on YouTube every day.’ It
adds up,” Johansson says.
Once you’ve tracked your habits or
checked your phone’s tally of your us-
age, make some judgment calls about
which activities are (or are not) a good
use of your time.
Double down on your apps
If you can’t put down your phone
completely, try switching the apps you
use most frequently. If you’re going to be
on your phone, you might as well make
it worthwhile, right?
Instead of opening YouTube, Insta-
gram or Facebook, here are some of the
apps and tools that can be a more effec-
tive use of your screen time:
❚ Financial accounts. Download and
check the apps for your various finan-
cial accounts. “The first app people
should sign in to every day is their
bank’s app and any credit card apps
they use,” said Robert P. Finley, a certi-
fied financial planner and the principal
of Virtue Asset Management in Illinois.
“First, this process will help them better
understand their daily spending, and
second, help them keep an eye out for
any fraud.”
❚ Budgeting apps. Similarly, budget-

Some business owners may be shocked by lost tax breaks
Joyce M. Rosenberg
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – As small-business
owners compile their income tax re-
turns, they may have an unpleasant sur-
prise: Some popular business deduc-
tions have disappeared or been reduced
under the new tax law.
While the law gave small-business
owners new tax breaks including a
20 percent deduction in income for
many sole proprietors, partners and
owners of S corporations, Congress took
back deductions for entertainment ex-
penses, employee transit benefits and
what are called net operating loss carry-
backs. It also put ceilings on interest de-
ductions for some businesses. Accoun-
tants and tax attorneys suspect small-
business clients will especially miss the
break for entertaining clients and cus-
tomers.
“I think they’re going to be shocked at
how much more they didn’t get as a de-
duction,” says Joseph Perry, a certified
public accountant with Marcum in Mel-
ville, New York.
A look at the disappearing deduc-
tions:
Interest
There is now a limit on how much in-
terest businesses can deduct on their
loans and credit lines. While the small-
est businesses, those with up to
$25 million in average annual revenue
over the previous three years, have no
ceiling on the interest they can deduct,
there are many small businesses above
that threshold that are being affected.
IRS regulations limit the deduction to
30 percent of a company’s adjusted tax-
able income plus its interest income, if it
has any. A motor vehicle dealer can also
deduct its borrowing costs for the vehi-
cles it buys and then sells – what’s
known as floor plan financing interest.
But interest expenses that are above
the limit can be carried over and deduct-
ed the next year; they will count toward
that year’s ceiling. And real property
businesses including landlords, devel-
opers and real estate managers and bro-
kers can choose to be exempt from the
deduction if they follow rules on depre-
ciation of their property.
If you find yourself wasting too much of your day on your phone or tablet,

handle on your cash flow and how much
money you’re devoting to each category
of your budget.
❚ Organizers. Organization tools like
Evernote and OmniFocus can help, too.
Open up these apps to create shopping
lists to prevent you from buying extra
things you don’t need, or to-do lists to
ensure you pay all of your bills on time.
❚ Coupon finders. Coupon apps, in-
cluding Coupons.com and CouponCa-
bin, compile coupons for free. Take the
time to consult these before shopping to
lower the amount of money you’re
spending on life’s necessities, such as
groceries or household supplies.
❚ Cash-back sites. Take the extra
step to use cash-back websites such as
Ebates and BeFrugal to earn money
back on purchases you’re already mak-
ing.
❚ Freebies. Sure, social media is free,
but there are other free apps that could
be more educational. Libby, for exam-
ple, is a reading app that uses your li-
brary card to access e-books and audio-
books for free.
Double-check the clock
While these apps are helpful, it can
be freeing to cut down your screen time
completely. And contradictory as it
A server fills wine glasses at a winery in St. Helena, Calif. While the new tax law gave small-business owners new tax
breaks, Congress took back deductions for entertainment expenses. ERIC RISBERG/AP
Entertainment
Owners who take customers to sport-
ing events or the theater or treat them to
a round of golf will have to foot the en-
tire bill for those activities. The new law
has done away with the entertainment
deduction for businesses. Many owners
use entertainment as a key part of
building and maintaining relationships
with clients.
But owners can still deduct the cost
of taking a client out for breakfast,
lunch or dinner; half the amount spent
for a business meal is deductible. The
IRS also says owners can buy food for a
customer at an entertainment event as
long as the food is paid for separately. In
a notice about meals and entertainment
expenses issued in October, the agency
used hot dogs at a baseball game as an
example. The food is deductible; the
tickets are not.
Owners can also deduct 100 percent
of the cost of food at parties or picnics
for employees.
While the loss of the entertainment
deduction may discourage some owners
from treating customers to tickets or a
golf game, others will decide that paying

sounds, your phone can actually help
you limit the amount of time you
spend on your phone.
Some apps help you stay off your
device altogether.
Flipd, for example, calls itself a
“digital nudge” to discourage phone
usage. Download the app to lock your-
self out of your downloaded apps for a
certain period of time, says Alanna
Harvey, co-founder of Flipd.
“Flipd is a productivity and time
management app that people use to
help motivate themselves to not get
distracted by their phones when they
should be doing other tasks more
mindfully like studying, reading and
spending quality time with family and
friends,” Harvey says.
If saving money is your goal, you
can add financial management to that
list of things to do in the real (not virtu-
al) world. If it helps, get off your phone
and spend some time with an old-
fashioned paper budget, calculator,
your credit card statement and check-
book.
And perhaps most importantly,
start by changing your mindset. You
don’t have to be tethered to your
phone.
“Once upon a time, people literally
would call your house, and if you
weren’t there, they would call back lat-
er,” Johansson says.
for entertainment is a worthwhile in-
vestment in their companies’ future be-
cause of the goodwill it creates. That’s
good business sense, says Ken Rubin, a
CPA with Rubin Brown in St. Louis.
“Normally, our general statement is,
don’t let tax considerations drive the
business decisions,” Rubin says.
Employee expenses
The law also eliminated the deduc-
tion owners could take for subsidizing
their employees’ commuting costs.
Similarly to their decisions about enter-
tainment expenses, owners must de-
cide whether they want to continue giv-
ing employees money toward their mass
transit fares or parking tabs; given the
tight labor market, owners might want
to continue providing the benefits to
make their companies better able to
compete for talented workers. And tak-
ing the benefit away could be a morale-

Early tax
refunds
down an
average of
8.4 percent
Janna Herron
USA TODAY
Tax refunds are coming in smaller
versus last year, the Internal Revenue
Service reported.
The average tax refund issued so far
fell to $1,865, down 8.4 percent from
$2,035 at the same time last year, ac-
cording to IRS statistics. The number
of refunds issued also dropped by
24.3 percent.
Overall, the number of returns the
agency has processed so far is off
25.8 percent versus the same time last
year. The IRS has also received
12.4 percent fewer returns from tax-
payers. The earliest taxpayers could
file returns was Jan. 28. In most states,
the last day you can file is April 15.
“We have said people will be sur-
prised, but how that comes out in the
aggregate is to be seen,” said Kathy
Pickering, executive director of H&R
Block’s Tax Institute. “Don’t put too
much into these initial numbers from
the IRS, because the volume is down
and it may be hard to parse out the tax
reform impact from the shutdown im-
pact.”
Tax professionals have been warn-
ing that refunds could be smaller than
expected if people didn’t adjust their
paycheck withholdings after the new
tax law changes.
The amount withheld from your
paycheck is determined by how many
allowances you claim on your W-4 tax
form. The more allowances you claim,
the less money is withheld from your
paycheck.
The federal government decides
how much an allowance is worth. For
the 2018 tax year, the Treasury Depart-
ment tried to find an allowance value
that improved withholding accuracy,
so what you pay in taxes from your
paycheck over the year is approxi-
mately the same as your total tax li-
ability.
Getting a smaller refund doesn’t
mean you’re paying more in total in
taxes. In many cases, much of your tax
savings showed up in each paycheck,
which could result in a smaller refund.
Employees also lost a popular deduc-
tion – for job-related expenses like the
cost of tools, uniforms and publications
related to their work. Owners who want
to give their staffers a break might want
to take on those expenses and deduct
the costs.
Net operating losses
Businesses that lose money no longer
have the ability to “carry back” their
losses to offset earnings in previous
years and get refunds on taxes they
paid.
The law does allow companies to car-
ry losses forward to an unlimited num-
ber of future years, helping them reduce
taxes during profitable times.
Although the absence of carrybacks
takes away some flexibility for busi-
nesses, it isn’t likely to be an issue for
companies in a strong economy when
businesses are doing well, Rubin says. It
can, however, be an issue for companies
like restaurants and retailers.
“It’s a bigger deal for cyclical-type
businesses that will make money one
year, lose money the next,” Rubin says.

Smaller stocks are winning again, but for how long?

Stan Choe
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – The stock market’s big-
gest gains are once again coming from
its smallest companies, but the trend
may not last much longer.
Smaller-company stocks like Alle-
giant Travel and AK Steel have been
soaring since late December and leading
the rest of the market, a sharp reversal
from much of the winter, when smaller
stocks were plunging more than the rest
of the market. The Russell 2000 index of
small-cap stocks has jumped 19.8 per-
cent since Christmas Eve versus
16.2 percent for the big stocks in the S&P
500 large-cap index, though neither has
returned to the records they set late last
year.
Bed Bath and Beyond, for example,
has surged 46.3 percent since Christ-
mas Eve, helped by a stronger-than-ex-
pected earnings report where it said it’s
that the Federal Reserve will raise inter-
est rates too quickly.
The Federal Reserve has pledged to
be patient in raising interest rates, even
though the economy is still growing,
with inflation low and worries high
about weakening growth. That’s a big

Federal tax rewrite
leaves a cloud over
California finances
CALmatters
Can Walters
Columnist
Reality — a new reality — is hitting home as Cali-
fornians work on their 2018 federal income tax re-
turns.
Some are seeing smaller federal tax bites and big-
ger refunds, thanks to a more generous standard de-
duction in the tax overhaul that a Republican Con-
gress and President Donald Trump enacted in 2017.
But those accustomed to writing off state income tax
and local property tax payments are feeling the pinch
due to one of the most contentious aspects of the re-
vised system.
It limits deductions for state and local taxes (SALT)
to $10,000 on a joint return, which has the intended
effect of increasing federal taxes, particularly on resi-
dents of in high-taxing states such as California.
This week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared
that his state collected $2.3 billion less in income tax
revenue during December and January than the state
budget expected and blamed the shortfall on a flight
of high-income taxpayers to states that have low or no
state income taxes, especially Florida.
“If even a small number of high-income taxpayers
leave, it has a great effect on this tax base,” Cuomo
said. “You are relying on a very small number of peo-
ple for the vast amount of your tax dollars.”
Cuomo and governors of other high-tax states —
whose politics tend to be, of course, deeply blue —
grumbled as the tax overhaul was being written that it
would encourage high-income residents, unable to
write off their state and local taxes, to flee.
“It was politically diabolical and also highly effec-
tive,” Cuomo said this week. “And if your goal is to
help Republican states and hurt Democratic states,
this is the way to do it.”
“They are investors, they have accountants, they
are making informed decisions,” Cuomo said of the
New Yorkers who headed south. “This is going to be

The best California movie scene of recent vintage is
the opening of the 2018 film “Sorry to Bother You.” A
man and his girlfriend are getting intimate when his
apartment suddenly fills with daylight, making their
union visible to the people outside on an Oakland
street.
What happened? California’s housing crisis. The
apartment is really a garage whose door has abruptly
opened.
This example of love interrupted is indicative of an-
other unconsummated relationship — between Oak-
land and the Oscars.
Over the past year, the city of Oakland has inspired
more great films than even movie-mad nations like
France and Japan. This reflects both a rising genera-

the tipping point and people will now be making a
geographical change.”
After Cuomo complained, the Wall Street Journal
reported that Florida is, indeed, seeing a new wave of
well-to-do transplants from New York, New Jersey
and other high-taxing states, sparking a real estate
boom.
So what about California and neighboring Nevada,
which, like Florida and Texas, doesn’t have a state in-
come tax? The Wall Street Journal noted that both Ne-
vada and Arizona are seeing their populations grow
rapidly.
Former Gov. Jerry Brown sponsored an increase in
income taxes on those in higher brackets, generating
a windfall of new revenues and helping him balance
the state budget. But later, he worried aloud that the
federal limit on SALT deductions could entice the rich
to flee his state.
There have been anecdotal accounts about such
flight, but no one has documented a mass migration.
That said, it wouldn’t — as Cuomo pointed out — take
much of an exodus from California to have an impact,
given that so few high-income residents of his state
generate so much of New York’s revenue stream.
The top one percent of New York’s taxpayers sup-
ply 46 percent of the state’s income tax revenues. In
California, the one-percenters’ share of income taxes
is slightly higher, and our top marginal income tax
rate, 13.3 percent, is considerably higher than New
York’s 8.82 percent.
California Controller Betty Yee tracks state tax re-
ceipts and expenditures monthly and reported re-
cently that through December — the first six months
of the 2018-19 fiscal year — general revenues were
$2.5 billion under budget estimates, including a $1.9
billion income tax shortfall.
Preliminary data indicate the monthly shortfall
continued in January.

Since all the real people have left unaffordable San

So, Hollywood, where is the Oscar love?
Oakland won’t be shut out at the Academy Awards

Mahershala Ali, is favored to win his second Oscar in
three years, for playing pianist Don Shirley in “Green
Book.” And “Black Panther,” which begins and ends in
Oakland, is nominated for best picture.
But “Black Panther” is unlikely to win. The film’s
maker, Oakland’s own Ryan Coogler, didn’t get nomi-
nated for best director, even though he brought to life
the land of Wakanda, which fulfilled Californians’
dreams of a finished and functional high-speed rail

IID is right
to demand
increase in
federal funds
The Imperial Irrigation District holds among the
oldest and largest rights to water from the Colorado
River and is using that as leverage to get what it sees
as a better deal in current drought contingency plan
negotiations involving states that draw from the riv-
er.
Among the hardball tactics IID is putting in play: A
demand that the federal government provide $200
million for efforts to bolster the beleaguered Salton
Sea.
We’ve taken IID to task for some of its actions and
policies in the past, but we’re right there in the bat-
ter’s box with the agency on this.
For far too long Sacramento and our leaders in
Washington have slow-walked any substantive ef-
forts to keep the sea from spiraling into an ecological
nightmare. While some work has begun to try to miti-
gate the worst immediate effects along the shores,
the lake’s demise has jumped into overdrive.

past year’s very best films: “Sorry to Bother You,” a sat-

Both movies were set in Oakland, and made by Oak-

It’s not that easy
Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala
Harris’ key proposal includes abolishing
private health insurance, in favor of a
costly, all-encompassing “Medicare for
All” that guarantees health care “ac-
cess” to everyone. Her proposal would
eliminate existing health insurance
companies, with their onerous related
red tape, delays and approvals to receive
care.
With lifetime “Cadillac” level of
health care benefits provided all current
and former members of Congress, Sen.
Harris may never personally have to ex-
perience her proposed “Medicare for
All” plan.
But surely, as a U.S. senator, she must
be well-aware of the expanding and
onerous existing government-imposed
delays and restrictions to access that all
Medicare (and Medicaid) patients cur-
rently endure? If millions of new benefi-
ciaries become entitled to “access” to
care from the nation’s existing physi-
cians and hospitals, does she really
think entrenched government-mandat-
ed delays and restrictions will suddenly
vanish?
So, is she clueless, naive or intention-
ally dishonest about red tape and delays
that would accompany her “Medicare
for All?

Where have you gone, Joe Wilson?
Where was Joe Wilson when we
needed him.
At the State of the Union in 2009
Congressman Wilson distinguished
himself by famously yelling at President
Obama “You Lie.” So where were the Joe
Wilsons of the most recent State of the
Union when there were numerous iter-
ations by President Donald Trump that I
see as flat-out lies. Indeed, where were
all the other Joe Wilson’s who could
have fact-checked the President.
Great nations don’t quit wars before they prevail
Marc A. Thiessen
Columnist
“Great nations do not fight endless
wars,” President Trump declared in his
State of the Union address. It was a line
that could have been delivered by Presi-
dent Barack Obama, who in 2015 mem-
orably said, “I do not support the idea of
endless war.”
Just a few days before Trump’s ad-
dress, his own party delivered the
president a stinging rebuke when Sen-
ate Republicans passed a resolution op-
posing his Syrian and Afghan with-
drawals by an overwhelming bipartisan
68-to-23 vote. Trump’s defenders say:
That’s just the foreign policy establish-
ment advocating “forever war.” When,
they ask, will these wars end? When
will we be able to declare victory and go
home?
These are fair questions, and they
deserve serious answers.
In traditional wars, defining victory
is easy. Victory comes when the enemy
surrenders and lays down its arms. But
this is not traditional war.
We are not fighting nation-states
with defined borders and armies, na-
vies and air forces. We are fighting rad-
ical Islamist terrorists who are engaged
in what Osama bin Laden called “a war
of destiny between infidelity and Is-
lam.” There will be no signing ceremony
on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri. They
will never lay down their arms. In this
war, victory for the United States is ev-
ery day that passes without a terrorist
attack on American soil.

Changed view
on Thiessen columns
Like some other readers, I was ready
to voice my complaints about the
amount of space given to Mark Thiessen
for his columns. Then I read two Feb. 7
reader letters which basically said, “If
you want to see columns by E.J. Dionne,
And that daily victory is made pos-
sible because the men and women of
the U.S. military are hunting the enemy
in faraway lands.
America’s enemies have a very clear
definition of victory. For them, victory
comes when we give up the fight before
they do. We know this because they
have told us so. The 9/11 mastermind
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told his CIA
interrogator “Americans don’t realize
we do not need to defeat you militarily;
we only need to fight long enough for
you to defeat yourself by quitting.” That
is how the terrorists see Obama’s with-
drawal from Iraq in 2011 and Trump’s
planned withdrawals from Syria and
Afghanistan: America defeating itself
by quitting.
It is understandable that, after 18
years, Americans want the war to end.
But what we want is irrelevant. We
don’t get to decide unilaterally that the
war is over. The enemy gets a vote. Just
because we have tired of fighting
doesn’t mean that they have.
Here is the hard truth: We don’t get to
choose when the war ends, but we do
get to choose where it is fought. It can
either be fought over there, in the de-
serts of Syria and the mountains of Af-
ghanistan, or it can be fought over here
– on American streets and in American
cities, as it was on Sept. 11, 2001. It’s up
to us.
Trump deserves enormous credit for
taking the gloves off in the fight against
the terrorists. He was absolutely correct
when he declared in the State of the
Union address, “When I took office, ISIS
controlled more than 20,000 square
miles in Iraq and Syria. Today, we have
liberated virtually all of that territory
it’s already behind and, as usual, get-
ting funding for the work is anything by
a slam dunk.
This isn’t a crisis that’s limited to the
already impoverished and health-chal-
lenged communities along the 350-
square-mile lake’s shore. According to
the Pacific Institute, a worst-case sce-
nario for the sea has it spiraling during
the next three decades into a $70 billion
catastrophe that chokes nearby popu-
lations already suffering high rates of
respiratory disease with toxic dust
clouds as it slashes property values and
tourism economies across tonier areas
of the desert.

just a “local” problem, consider that

then you must balance them with col-
umns by Thiessen.”
My initial response to that is that it’s
a false choice; I believe Dionne’s col-
umns are thoughtful, well-reasoned
and supported by facts. Thiessen’s
pieces appear to be flights of conserva-
tive fantasy which I believe ignore facts
on the ground in order that he might
cling to his own worldview, offering one
straw man argument after another.
Having said that, I do agree that both
voices should be heard so that folks can
compare and see how utterly shallow
Thiessen’s pieces are.
Bob DePugh, Cathedral City
On socialism
Marc Thiessen states firmly and con-
fidently that socialist policies will bank-
rupt the country (“Political center is up
for grabs,” Feb. 7 column). It’s not clear
how he knows that, though I presume
he is referring to the one socialist policy
that is getting traction – health care for
all.
I am sure Thiessen knows there are
several countries around the world, in-
cluding Canada, which have imple-
mented such a policy. In Canada, the
policy is several decades old and con-
tinues to have the support of all political
parties, left and right.
Why? Because all citizens, rich or
poor, are entitled to be taken care of
when they fall ill.
Carl Eriksen, Indio
Silence and indifference
I have been reading Martin Luther
King Jr.’s remarks from when he visited
East Berlin and saw the Berlin Wall. I
found his comments so chilling and
truthful, especially how they apply to-
day with President Donald Trump’s de-
termination to build his wall.
“The wall is depressing and symbol-
izes the division of mankind. When we
from the grip of these bloodthirsty
monsters.” But the Islamic State is not
defeated. It still has tens of thousands
of fighters under arms and, according to
one estimate by the Institute for the
Study of War, as much as $400 million
it smuggled out of Iraq, money that can
be used to sustain its movement and
plan attacks across the world.
In Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence es-
timates there are about 20 terrorist
groups – including al-Qaeda and the Is-
lamic State affiliate known as Islamic

immediately gain an uncontested sanc-
tuary from which to plan new attacks if
America withdraws.
On Jan. 28, the New York Times re-
ported that a 2017 intelligence assess-
ment, renewed last year, “says a com-
plete withdrawal of American troops
from Afghanistan would lead to an at-
tack on the United States within two
years.”
Right now, the U.S. military has its
boot on the terrorists’ necks. They are
focused on survival, not on launching
faraway attacks. Take that boot away,
though, and the terrorists will get up,
dust themselves off, regroup, rebuild
and go back to trying to kill Americans
in the United States.
In his address, Trump praised the
heroism of the men who stormed the
beaches of Normandy on D-Day. “They
did not know if they would survive the
hour,” he said. “They did not know if
they would grow old. But they knew
that America had to prevail.”
The same is true today. Great nations
do not quit before they prevail.

More information, please
I have worked in the movie business
as cinematographer and director for
nearly 50 years, ending up teaching at
USC Film School.
I regularly go to movies with my wife.
I believe The Desert Sun’s star rating
system could be improved to signal who
would like each movie.
We went to a five-star the other day.
It was an awful horror movie but obvi-
ously loved by a younger audience.
We were totally entertained by “The
Green Book”; you only give it three stars.
“Roma” looked great but otherwise the
family situation was confusing and we
found it really boring; you give it four
stars.
Everyone seems to love the “Wife,”
but you give it only three stars. “A Star is
Born” gets three and a half stars, but
your review only mentions the story.
You could say, “Wonderful acting, great
music, impressive use of the Coachella
Music Festival as a set and wonderful
first time directing.”
I began my career in England. When
we invited the press to a private show-
ing of our latest movie, we learned to tell
them we were were a little disappointed;
we nearly always got a pretty good re-
view. If we ever said we thought it won-
derful the review would pick it to pieces!

slavery and turning humans into ani-
mals. Absent a better explanation for
its Oscar shutout, I wonder if that plot
line cut too close to the bone for Netflix
and Amazon, which now fund so much
of Hollywood.
Of course, Oakland is getting its due
in other ways.
In politics, Oakland-born Kamala
Harris, who rose through San Francis-
co’s establishment, tried to seize back
some Oaktown cred by kicking off her
presidential campaign kick-off at
Frank Ogawa Plaza.
In literature, Tommy Orange’s
“There There,” a novel about Native
Americans in Oakland, has been win-
ning awards for its portrayal of the
city’s diversity.
“Cities form in the same way as gal-
axies,” Orange writes. “Urban Indians
feel at home walking in the shadow of
a downtown building. We ride buses,
trains, and cars across, over, and under
concrete plains. Being Indian has nev-
er been about returning to the land.
The land is everywhere or nowhere.”
In her 1937 book “Everybody’s Auto-
biography,” Gertrude Stein lamented,
“what was the use of having come
from Oakland,” before making her
famous (and false) observation that
“there is no there there.” The truth is
that American culture has long found
Oakland useful.
The most honored-star of the past
generation, Tom Hanks, still boasts
about being from Oakland. Oakland
can claim George Stevens, the Oscar-
winning director of “A Place in The
Sun,” who grew up in an Oakland thea-
ter family, and Clint Eastwood, who
was born in San Francisco but grew up
in Piedmont and went to Oakland
Technical High School. And serious
“Star Wars” fans will tell you that Oak-
land is the real hometown of both Luke
Skywalker (Mark Hamill was born and
lived there until moving to San Diego
at age 11) and Yoda (Frank Oz, a child
immigrant from Europe, was raised
there and got his start as a puppeteer
at the city’s Children’s Fairyland).
After the Oscar snub, “Sorry to
Bother You” director Boots Riley de-
clared he didn’t care about not being
nominated. Worrying about what the
rest of the world thinks is not a very
Oakland thing to do.
But the rest of the world would ben-
efit from seeing more of the cinematic
stories emerging from Oakland.

from lab-grown meat
Presented by:
Holly K. Michels
LEE NEWSPAPERS OF MONTANA
HELENA, Mont. – A state lawmaker
wants to make sure meat products pro-
duced from a cultured cell can’t be la-
beled the same as steaks, burger and
other items that come from livestock
and poultry.
Several national companies are pro-
ducing lab-grown meat, which is made
from the cultured stem cells of animals.
Industry backers, including meat giants
such as Tyson and Cargill as well as Bill
Gates and Richard Branson, say the
process is an ethical way to produce
meat that also has fewer environmental
effects than traditional meat produc-
tion.
Rep. Alan Redfield, a Republican
from Livingston, said he wants to make
sure Montana consumers know what
they’re buying and where it came from.
His Real Meat Act doesn’t ban the sale of
cell-cultured products, but does require
that anything labeled “meat” must be
“derived from the edible flesh of live-
stock or a livestock product.”
“Picture this: cows grazing on a
mountain meadow,” Redfield said. “ …
Or picture this burger or whatever you
may call it coming from a warehouse full
of petri dishes.”
The bill does not focus on vegetarian
meat alternatives, things like Garden-
burger veggie burgers or Beyond Meat
plant-based meat substitutes, Redfield
Several other states, including Wyo-
ming, Missouri, Indiana, Nebraska, Vir-
ginia and Tennessee, have or are trying
to pass bills similar to Redfield’s. Mis-
souri was first to do, and is now facing a
lawsuit claiming its law is unconstitu-
tional because it violates First Amend-
ment rights to free speech.
Several people spoke in support of
Redfield’s bill, including people from the
farming and ranching community.
Cindy Palmer, with the Montana
Farmers Union, said the argument
comes down to “basic honesty for the
consumer.”
Makenna Sellers, with the Northern
Plains Resource Council, said lawmak-
ers should question why major meat-
packing companies are supporting the
research and development of cell-cul-
tured products. The council is also sup-
porting a bill from Republican Sen. Al
Olszewski, of Kalispell, that would re-
quire country-of-origin labeling for pork
and beef sold at retail stores.
The only opponent to the bill was Zu-
ri Moreno, with the ACLU of Montana.
Moreno said commercial speech is pro-
tected by the First Amendment and
called the bill an “unconstitutional solu-
tion in search of a problem.”
Near the end of last year, the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture and the Food
and Drug Administration said they
would share oversight of the cell-cul-
tured meat products, with the USDA
taking the lead on labeling, though it’s

Record heat scorches
Australia, Chile, Argentina
Doyle Rice
USA TODAY
While we’ve been shivering up here,
folks in the Southern Hemisphere have
been baking in all-time record summer-
time heat.
Records have been set recently in
Australia, Chile and Argentina, sparking
wildfires and exacerbating droughts.
In Australia, the heat was so intense
it caused bats to fall from trees and
snakes to seek refuge in people’s toilets,
according to the Australian Broadcast-
ing Corporation and the Capital Weath-
er Gang.
Overall, it was the hottest January in
Australia ever recorded, the Australian
Bureau of Meteorology reported. The
heatwaves there were “unprecedented
in their scale and duration,” the bureau
said.
One remarkable record was set in
Port Augusta, Australia, which soared to
121 degrees. That’s the hottest temper-

DESERT HOT SPRINGS 2, SANTA CLARA 1 CIF WRESTLING

Upstart DHS

Freshman shines
CIF quarters
Golden Eagles taking advantage
of fortuitous playoff appearance
Andrew L. John | Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK

The girls’ soccer team at Desert Hot Springs High

School was not supposed to be here. Not in the CIF-
SS playoffs and certainly not in the Division 7 quar-
terfinals.
The Golden Eagles finished fourth in the Desert
Valley League and only reached the postseason be-
cause Yucca Valley High was bumped from fourth to
fifth in the league after forfeiting games the Trojans
won with an ineligible player on the field.
But head coach Scott Saban had seen glimpses of
brilliance from his team this year, and told his athlet-
ic director, Kai Lyles, that if his players were fortu-
nate enough to get a wild card into the postseason,
they could be dangerous.
Saban proved to be prophetic about that. His
squad won its wild card game last Monday, then won
again Wednesday, before a 2-1 victory at home Friday
afternoon that will advance the Golden Eagles to a
home quarterfinal match on Tuesday against Vas-
quez High from the high desert town of Acton.
Sophomore midfielder Citlaly Fuentes scored both
goals for Desert Hot Springs (15-9-2). The first came
on a penalty kick in the first half, and the second, a
header off a corner kick, broke a 1-1 tie to secure the
victory.
Most teams don’t play three postseason games in

Snoring Kills … Non-Surgical Laser to Treat Snoring and Sleep Apnea

NEW TECHNOLOGY
COMES TO THE DESERT
The ADA (American Dental Association) has passed new policy
regarding the screening and treating of OSA (Obstructed Sleep
Apnea) for all dentists. Now, one of the top 10 dentists in the world
for treating OSA has come to the desert!

The Bittner Dental Clinic has new technology

never seen or used in the desert for treating
dentistry, snoring, breathing and sleep.
The Fotona NightLase® Laser is a game changer for people that
snore and those who have been diagnosed with OSA that cannot
wear a CPAP or who want to stop wearing a CPAP. The Fotona
Niqhtlase® can liberate you, your spouse or partner from the pain and
suffering from snoring and OSA.

Dr. Bittner offers desert residents this unique healing transformation

for snoring, breathing, open airways and sleep - all connected to oral
health. If you have a family member, a friend, neighbor or co-worker
that snores or has trouble sleeping we can help. The laser does not
cut or cause any pain when treating for snoring or OSA and there is
zero downtime.

Don't become a statistic for losing the battle with OSA. Get back
to sleeping in the same room with your spouse or partner today. OSA
is called the silent killer for a reason, and men especially need to
understand the severity of having OSA.

When you laugh the whole world laughs with

you. When you snore you sleep alone.

Bittner Dental Clinic offers $1800.00 in complimentary

screening and testing for snoring and sleep apnea.

Fotona's Nightlase® therapy is a non-invasive,

patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality
of a patient's sleep.

Dr. Bittner is the only dentist in the Coachella Valley to own the Fotona Nightlase®.
It is the most powerful and effective dental and aesthetic laser in the world.
Dr. Bittner has performed over 200 full-mouth conversions.
With 20 years experience, she is one of the top 10 ranked dentists in the world
for treating snoring and Sleep Apnea.

“We were tired of hearing it,” junior
midfielder Xitlaly Lopez said. “We knew
we could do better, so why stay on other
people’s standards? We’re way better
than that.”
Saban said they brought their frus-
tration over the school’s meager expec-
tations with them to practice.
“They had,” he said, “at the first of the
year, a lot of haters basically telling
them that they were no good, ‘You guys
aren’t going to have a good season.’ And
they’d bring that to practice, and obvi-
ously for me, the last three years, I was
like, ‘We’ll it’s possible, but I’m not going
to sell that to you.’”
Instead, with the players motivated,
Saban got to work.
They focused on fundamentals,
working on touches, shooting and pass-
ing. Aside from the field tactics Saban
emphasized, he insisted that the players
not let anyone get into their heads.
He told them that they were the ones
who controlled their own story and de-
termined their own destiny.
“I feel like it was us believing in each
other because we’ve had a lot of years
where we’ve had the best players but
there were problems,” Lopez said. “I feel
like we got closer this year, and we start-
ed pushing each other harder.”
What made the Golden Eagles more
dangerous than in previous years was
their scoring ability.
They had trouble putting the ball into
the back of the net the last three years,
but multiple scorers emerged this sea-
son.
Britny Gutierrez has scored 16 goals
and Ariana Soto, who has nine, became
the first freshman to score for Desert
Hot Springs in five years.
The girls were scoring more and play-
ing less on their heels than in previous
years, which led to a confidence Saban
hadn’t seen from this group.

“Now it’s really up to them,
if they can keep digging
deep and playing hard.
We’ve seen what they can
do when they do that.”
Scott Saban
Desert Hot Springs coach
Saban and his players credit the
tough DVL schedule for preparing
them for the postseason. Saban said
his players have shown a lot of heart
through it all.
“We’re battle tested,” Saban said.
“Maybe an advantage for us is that
some of the teams we’re playing just
haven’t played the teams that we’ve
played and gotten beat up by the teams
we’ve played.”
His team took lessons from those
tough matches and won the first two

COACHELLA VALLEY 1, WILSON 0
Arabs grind out soccer win with late goal
Shad Powers
Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Usually when a player gives a post-
playoff game interview through tears,
it’s because the team lost and the sea-
son is over.
That was not the case for Eva Torres
of the Coachella Valley Arabs girls’ soc-
cer team Friday.
Torres scored the game’s only goal as
unranked Coachella Valley defeated the
No. 10-ranked Wilson (Hacienda
Heights) squad 1-0 in a Di-
vision 5 CIF-SS second-
round game.
She choked up thinking
about her teammates after
the game.
“I am so grateful to ev-
eryone on this team. These Eva
are the best teammates I Torres
could ever have, and for me
to take this trip with them is amazing,”
Torres said.
That kind of emotion goes hand in
hand with the team’s motto, “One goal,
one team, one family” which they all
have on their new-for-the-playoff
sweatshirts.
That family will get to stay home for
the quarterfinal round Tuesday when
they host Ontario, a 4-1 winner over St.
Anthony on Friday.
Coach Francisco Morales said the
one thing this team needed was a belief
in themselves, and they’re getting that
every day.
“They have to own the idea that they
belong here,” Morales said. “Last year
we lost 13 seniors, and this is a very
young team. So the idea of understand-

Two games, two nights, two tough
home playoff losses for Palm Desert
basketball.
A mere 25 hours after the Aztecs girls’
team fell in the first round of the CIF-SS
postseason after losing a late-game
lead, the unfortunate story continued
Friday night as the Aztecs boys’ squad
lost 62-60 in overtime to Redlands High
in the opening round of the Division 3A
playoffs.
Leading 43-36 heading into the final
quarter and holding a 56-51 edge over
the visiting Terriers with 20 seconds to
play in regulation, Palm Desert (19-10)
was unable to close the door on Red-
lands in its aim to reach the second
round of CIF for the first time since 2016.
Palm Desert entered the postseason
as the division’s 13th-ranked team after
finishing as runner-up in the new Des-
ert Empire League.

But they can also score in the paint
with the muscle of Escobar and Jake
Shipley.
But really it starts with their defense.
The on-the-ball defense of guards Jake
Abawag and Cole Osgood were prob-
lematic for Hemet all night.
“All of our stuff starts with defense.
We get all of our offensive energy from
defensive stops,” said first-year coach
Ryan Towner.
“I mean, we’ve got a great inside
game and outside game, mid-range. At
any point we can score. That balance
helps us out a lot.”
The moment
It was that second-quarter and early
third-quarter surge that really told the
tale of the game. Down five points to
start, Shadow Hills flipped the script
with a 15-2 run.
What was impressive about the burst
was six different players scored during
it.
The Knights outscored Hemet 17-4 in
the second quarter to take a 29-21 half-
time lead, and then the knockout punch
came when Jake Abawag and Deonta
Strange started the third with back-to-
back 3-pointers to make it 35-21.
The rout was on, and then Towner
called a timeout with five seconds left in
the third quarter to set up an in-bounds
play for reserve Elijah Campbell to get a
3-point shot.
The play worked, and even Towner
had to let out a yell when that one
swished in. The score was an improba-
ble 49-26 after trailing 17-12 to start the
second.

ing that they are as good as last year’s
team and they deserve to be here and
deserve to be in the playoffs is what it’s
all about.”
The moment
The game was scoreless through the
first 70 minutes. Both teams had a few
attractive opportunities, but neither de-
fense was yielding much. But as the Ar-
abs kept putting pressure on Wilson, fi-
nally a crack revealed itself.

way, dodging one final corner kick at-
tempt that looked like it had a chance to
lead to something.
The stars
Eva Torres, Coachella Valley: It’s
hard not to credit the goal-scorer in a
one-goal game, but that wasn’t all Tor-
res did. In fact she was playing defen-
sive middle at first, was moved to offen-
sive middle to provide a spark -- mis-
sion accomplished -- and then moved
back to defensive middle once the team
took the lead.
Daniela Iniguez, Coachella Valley:
The senior defender played an amazing
game holding down the back line for the
Arabs. Every time it looked like some-
thing was developing for Wilson, Ini-
guez was there to head it or kick it away.
Zully Sanchez, Coachella Valley:
Sanchez had the unenviable task of bat-
tling Wilson’s extremely talented for-
ward No. 13, who was mostly known as
“her” on the Coachella sideline as in
“Watch her. Get in front of her. Don’t lose
her.” Despite giving up about a foot in
height. Sanchez stayed with her and
made things difficult for her. She got a
lot of help as the Arabs always had sev-
eral eyes on her, but Sanchez never
stopped battling.

Torres on the goal: “The first thing I
saw was the goalie coming right at me,
and then I was open and I felt relieved

to two points.
After Ralph went 1-for-2 from the line
for Palm Desert, Da Silva, coming off a
timeout, drained his dramatic 3-pointer
from beyond the right arc to send the
game to overtime.
Down by two with the ball and 10 sec-
onds remaining in OT, the Aztecs failed
to tie the game despite two prime op-
portunities in the paint.
The chatter
❚ Aztecs head coach Jim Serven:
“We’ve should’ve won that game. A cou-
ple things didn’t go our way, and that’s
how it goes sometimes.”
❚ Serven on execution concerns:
“(It’s been that way) all year. Just some
bad decisions defensively, and it comes
back to haunt you when you make bad
choices.”
❚ Max Ralph on execution: “It was a
lot of quick shots, and we didn’t really
run through our plays. Where we
could’ve moved the ball a lot, we just
a physical defensive presence at the
rim.
Jake Abawag, Shadow Hills: The di-
minutive guard played an almost flaw-
less game. He hit three open 3-pointers
for nine points, hounded the Hemet
guards all night and played turnover-
free ball as part of a point-guard duo
with Strange.
Tyler Miller, Hemet: The speedy
Bulldog point guard had a team-high 12,
including nine in the first quarter.
Iniguez on the team defense: “It was
all about communication and staying
together as a team and not overthinking
stuff.”
Iniguez on the goal: “It was a huge
sense of relief when it went in because
the game was almost over, but we still
had to finish it and keep playing like the
score was zero-zero.”
Morales on Torres: “She is one of my
hardest workers and she runs the mid-
field for us and does a lot of things for us.
That’s why we move her around. She’s a
three-year captain, and she scored a
clinching PK in the playoffs as a fresh-
man, so she’s that kind of player.”
The takeaway
Like the coach said, this is a young
Arabs team and they are starting to be-
lieve in themselves more and more and
they are trending in the right direction
at the right time.
And the Arabs are doing this mostly
without one of their top players in Mi-
randa Torres, who valiantly played in
this one despite ankle and Achilles in-
juries. She missed the first playoff game
entirely, and actually played most of
this one, but she’s clearly not at 100 per-
cent.
Coach Morales said she played a
playoff game two years ago with a bro-
ken arm, so she earned the right to give
it a try tonight. If she can somehow get
even healthier by Tuesday, there’s no
reason the Arabs can’t keep it going.
What’s next
The Arabs will host Ontario game on
Tuesday.
took the first shot we saw and it didn’t
work out for us.”
❚ Ralph on defensive effort: “We
kind of let up a lot. We had a comfortable
lead in the second half and got a little
hesitant. They came back on us, and we
didn’t respond. We let off the gas pedal.”
❚ Ralph on team’s CIF hopes: “We
thought a run was there, but we ran into
a tough team and didn’t play hard like
we did all season.”
The takeaway
Though undeniably filled with talent
this season, Palm Desert’s performance
Friday eschewed the discipline and
heady style of play which has long de-
fined the program’s success.
While Serven put his players in the
right places on the defensive side of the
court, the Aztecs’ returning roster of just
four varsity underclassmen will be well-
served to study the type of grinding de-
fense which earned Palm Desert the ar-
ray of banners across its gym walls.
The chatter
Escobar on what it will take to keep
winning: “We just have to keep working
hard, and have the mindset to never
take our foot off the gas pedal. Keep
pushing it.”
Towner on if they are playing their
best basketball of the season: “We are,
we are. Still things could get better (the
Knights shot just 7 of 18 from the line),
but we’re rolling and peaking right at the
time where we need to do it.”
The takeaway
The credit starts with Towner, but
there is just an energy in the gym that
wasn’t there in recent years. A packed
house, a little band playing, an excitable
PA announcer, all the little things that
make for a great home-court edge.
And then the style of play is exciting
and the team is clicking right now. You
can see exactly what Escobar was talk-
ing about. They look like they are having
fun.
The Knights played a lot of close
games last year, and then this year they
added the talented duo of Escobar and
Strange and coach Towner. It’s all work-
ing right now.
This performance was the most com-
plete I’ve seen from a desert basketball
team in quite some time.
What’s next
The fun will continue for the Knights,
who are playing their best basketball of
the season at the right time, on Tuesday
night when they hit the road to play
Quartz Hill in a second round game.

Shocking week tests soccer’s heart LA Galaxy to unveil
John Leicester
Columnist
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS – It was a week of sad and shocking images
for football.
From the murky depths of the cold sea that sepa-
rates France and England came a chilling photograph,
shot remotely, of the crumpled plane that crashed Jan.
21 as it was flying Emiliano Sala to a new career in the
English Premier League, killing the Argentine forward
and pilot David Ibbotson.
And on the other side of the world, in Thailand, TV
cameras were on hand to film the pained, shuffling gait
of imprisoned refugee footballer Hakeem al-Araibi in
leg irons and bare feet, as he fought efforts in court to
extradite him to Bahrain.
The defender who was granted safe haven in Aus-
tralia after fleeing a 10-year prison sentence in Bahrain
in 2014 is terrified that he’ll be tortured if returned to
the kingdom with a well-documented history of abus-
es.
Piling on the pain in football’s already tough week
was a fire that torched the sleeping quarters of a soccer
academy in Brazil on Friday, killing 10 people and in-
juring three.
In both the untimely death of 28-year-old Sala and
al-Araibi’s battle for freedom, there have been emo-
tional and impactful responses from football, hearten-
ing demonstrations of soul and decency from the
world’s most popular sport, often so fixated by money.
In mourning for Sala and campaigning for al-Araibi,
there also have been signs that football and footballers
are learning to leverage their power and reach for
causes other than themselves, flashes of social con-
science that should be nourished.
Had Sala not been a footballer, his body may never
have been found. But fellow players, coaches and thou-
sands of others poured donations into a campaign by
his family to fund the search that located the wrecked
light aircraft in the English Channel. The pilot is still
missing, presumed dead.
This weekend, Sala will be honored with a minute of
applause at all matches in the top two leagues in
France, where his play had caught the eye of Cardiff
City, the Premier League club now mourning its new
recruit. Nantes, which sold him, says it plans to retire
his No. 9 jersey in memory of his 3½ seasons with the
French club.
But as footballers and fans say goodbye to Sala,
knowing that their generosity and support helped offer
closure to his grieving family, they have everything still
to do for al-Araibi.
Detained Nov. 27 at the start of what was meant to
be a honeymoon in Thailand , the former Bahrain na-
tional team player is wanted back in the kingdom for an
arson attack on a police station in 2012 for which he
was sentenced in absentia.

A look at Vonn’s mighty career
Pat Graham
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lindsey Vonn once celebrated a
downhill win by attempting to spray a
bottle of bubbly that turned out to be bro-
ken. Things went downhill fast with
Vonn slicing her thumb on the jagged
glass.
From elation to ouch in an instant. But
that moment at the 2009 world champi-
onships in France – she needed tendon
surgery – illustrates the bliss and bad
breaks along Vonn’s road to becoming
the winningest female ski racer.
She’s had plenty of iconic images in a
career that will culminate with a downhill
Sunday at the world championships in
Sweden.
Plenty of painful ones, too. On her
journey, the racer from Colorado/Minne-
sota won three Olympic medals, four
overall World Cup titles and a women’s
record 82 World Cup races.
Oh, and some farm animals – a cow
named Olympe, for winning an event in
2005, and a goat named Laura – after her
sister – as a race reward at the ‘09 worlds.
“Without exception, she did extraordi-
nary things,” said Tiger Shaw, the CEO of
U.S. Ski and Snowboard. “She’s accom-
plished so many things and has over-
come so much adversity in her life, with
her injuries, and comebacks, and set-
backs and comebacks. We’re all in awe of
what she’s accomplished in her career.”
Now on to Act II of her life: Maybe a
film career . Possibly becoming an entre-
preneur. Maybe starting a family. Per-
haps all three.
A look at some of Vonn’s feats over a
career filled with comeback after come-
back:
The highlights
Hard to pick just a few. There was her
first World Cup win on Dec. 3, 2004, in a
place she always felt at home – Lake Lou-
ise, a course now named after her.
There’s also the Olympic gold medal at
the 2010 Vancouver Games on a badly
bruised shin; breaking Annemarie Mos-
er-Proell’s women’s World Cup record for
wins on Jan. 19, 2015, in Italy; and an
Olympic bronze medal at the Pyeong-
chang Games last February after all her
bumps in the road.
Call it a comeback
One of the reasons she’s walking away
now is so she can ski recreationally. Her
knees are “broken beyond repair ,” she
acknowledged, after numerous surger-

Vonn ‘full throttle’ in
last race of her career
Andrew Dampf

ARE, Sweden – Anyone expecting
Lindsey Vonn to take it easy in her last
race should think again.
Doesn’t matter if she’s still banged
up from a crash with a black eye, a sore
rib – not to mention the pain in both of
her knees that forced her to move up
her retirement.
“Whether I’m ready or not,” Vonn
said. “I’m just going to go full throttle.”
It will be a fitting way to go out for the
record-setting skier in Sunday’s down-
hill at the world championships.
Norwegian great Aksel Lund Svindal
set the stage for Vonn by winning the
silver medal in the men’s downhill Sat-
urday in his last race.
“She didn’t win 82 World Cups by
being lucky,” Svindal said. “If she gets a
medal, it wouldn’t surprise me at all. It
just comes down to that one day and it
has to happen tomorrow. Good luck!”
Vonn’s 82 wins are the most all time
by a female skier and trail only the 86
won by Swedish great Ingemark Sten-
mark.
To honor Stenmark, Vonn will wear a
race suit featuring the colors of the
Swedish flag, blue and yellow.

ies. She’s also broken her left ankle (Au-
gust 2015), suffered fractures in her left
knee (February 2016), hyper-extended
her right knee (February 2007) and been
taken off the mountain by a helicopter
twice (once after a training crash before
the 2006 Turin Games where she re-
turned two days later to race with a
bruised hip and again at the 2013 world
championships in Austria where she tore
knee ligaments).
One of the scarier episodes was a bro-
ken right arm in November 2016 after a
training wipeout. Right after surgery, she
had nerve damage and couldn’t move her
fingers. She later taped a ski pole to her
glove in her return to racing. Soon, she
will have knee surgery for the seventh
time – to repair the left knee ligament she
tore during training in November. “The
image of Lindsey will always be just
“Obviously we’re in Sweden but also
because of Stenmark and how much he
has meant to the sport,” Vonn said. “It’s
obviously something that has motivat-
ed me for a long time – his record – so
I’m just paying my respects to him and
this country.”
Along with Vonn’s dad, two of her
siblings and one of her best friends,
Stenmark will also be in attendance.
“I’ve been texting him and he wasn’t
planning on being here and I was like,
‘Please, please, please,’ and so he’s
coming,” Vonn said. “I’m really, really,
really excited.”
As the 34-year-old Vonn performed
interviews following downhill training
Friday, a U.S. team member helped
keep her muscles from tightening up
with an cordless electrical vibration
massage device. She’s still recovering
from her crash in super-G on Tuesday.
“I’m really stiff,” she said. “Things
are pulling in ways they shouldn’t be
pulling and sometimes my ribs come
out. It’s not something that’s new to
me. Usually I can manage to where it’s
not a problem.”
A medal would bring Vonn full circle:
Her two silvers at the 2007 worlds in
Are were the first major championship
successes of her career.
toughness,” U.S. ski team doctor William
Sterett said.
Close call
Vonn was going for a fourth straight
World Cup overall title during the 2010-11
season, when the final race of the year
was called off because of the weather.
She lost by three points to Maria Hoefl-
Riesch of Germany. “Win or lose, I just
wanted the chance. I feel devastated,”
Vonn said at the time. Vonn won the
overall the next season by more than 500
points.

Vonn has her own foundation, which
is dedicated to helping girls achieve their

Svindal wins world
silver in final race

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARE, Sweden – Aksel Lund Svindal
stretched out his arms and looked to the
snow-filled sky, soaking in a big skiing
atmosphere one last time as thousands
of flag-waving Norwegians cheered their
idol at the finish area.
Didn’t matter that he’d been beaten to
gold – by 0.02 seconds, no less – by
teammate Kjetil Jansrud in the final race
of his illustrious, medal-filled, 17-year
career.
Silver, gold, whatever; he was simply
going to savor the moment.
“Two-hundredths this way or two-
hundredths that way,” Svindal said,
“let’s just enjoy this.”
Svindal, who is retiring at age 36 fol-
lowing persistent knee injuries, was
beaming as he shared the top step of the
podium with Jansrud – his close friend
and training partner for two decades –
after the downhill at the world champi-
onships on Saturday.
Vincent Kriechmayr, the bronze med-
alist from Austria, was happy to leave
the stage, clearly feeling like an imposter
on a day which turned out pretty much
perfect for the legions of Norwegians
who crossed the Swedish border to see
Svindal’s last race. Crown Prince Haa-
kon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit
were among them.
“It was a little poetic in that we’ve
shared so many hours of training togeth-
er,” Jansrud said. “With all the previous
wins we’ve had and to be able to be on
the podium together one last time, it’s
like a fairytale.”
The bromance continued in the med-
al ceremony hours later, Jansrud prof-
fering Svindal forward to take the ac-
claim of spectators in the plaza in the
middle of Are.
In many ways, this was a shared vic-
tory.
After the start was delayed because
of fog and heavy snowfall, Jansrud –
racing with two broken bones in his
hand after a fall in training 21/2 weeks
ago – went out at No. 6 and set a fierce
pace on a shortened course, taking 0.65
interview with People magazine about
dealing with depression. In addition, she
wrote a book titled, “Strong is the New
Beautiful,” which features lessons in fit-
ness, food and attitude.
Big influence
Grandfather Don Kildow was a ski rac-
er and launched her love of the sport. He
died in November 2017. She scattered
some of her grandfather’s ashes on a rock
near the mountain where the downhill
race in South Korea was held. Don Kildow
served in the Army Corps of Engineers
during the Korean War in the 1950s. “You
taught me to be tough, to be kind, and
above all, to ski fast,” she wrote on Insta-
gram after his death. “Now, every time I
ski down the mountain I know you’ll be
there with me.”

seconds off the time of Matthias Mayer.
Svindal, the two-time Olympic
champion and five-time world champi-
on, came down three racers later and ad-
mitted to being nervous. He was 0.08
seconds ahead at the first checkpoint,
0.02 behind at the second, and then 0.10
adrift as he came round the final few
bends of his skiing career. He soared
down the hill and over the line, to almost
deafening roars.
“Aksel you are my hero,” read one sign
held aloft in the grandstand.
Svindal playfully pointed at Jansrud,
who was sitting in the leader’s throne,
after acknowledging the crowd. They
both knew they’d posted times that
would be hard to beat, and that proved to
be the case.
“They are really good at finding the
fast lines quickly,” said Bryce Bennett,
the top U.S. finisher at No. 9. “Today is
pretty cool to be a part of, that he (Svin-
dal) was on the podium in his last race.”
While Svindal just missed out on a
chance to become the first man to win
the downhill world title three times, he
still joined Kjetil Andre Aamodt and
Marc Girardelli as the only skiers to col-
lect a medal at six world championships.

Truex, Wallace top speed charts
Rainy, windy 1st
day of practice for
Clash at Daytona

ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Chase El-
liott took blame for the first crash of
NASCAR’s new season on a blustery day
at Daytona International Speedway that
was shortened by rain.
Martin Truex Jr. topped the speed
chart in his debut for Joe Gibbs Racing,
and Bubba Wallace jumped to the top of
Saturday’s second session before
weather brought an early end to NAS-
CAR’s Cup Series practice.
Rosters were needed to track all the
offseason changes and new faces pre-
paring for the season-opening Daytona
500.
Kurt Busch, winner of the Daytona
500 just two years ago, now drives for
Chip Ganassi Racing in Jamie McMur-
ray’s old seat.
McMurray, the 2010 Daytona 500
winner, will close his career next Sun-
day with one last appearance in “The
Great American Race.”
Daniel Suarez got Busch’s old seat at
Stewart-Haas Racing, and Suarez was
only available because Gibbs released
him to make room for Truex. Richard
Childress Racing hired Daniel Hemric to
replace Ryan Newman in a rebranded
No. 8.
Newman moved to Roush Fenway
Racing, and his first stint in his new ride
ended in a multi-car accident less than
an hour into opening day.
Elliott said he crowded Newman in
traffic for Sunday’s exhibition race and
caused the crash. He even apologized to
rival teams for tearing up equipment.
“It looks like I just messed up. It hap-
pens,” Elliott said.
The accident caused enough damage
to force Elliott and Denny Hamlin into
backup cars for Sunday’s all-star event.
Hamlin was only on track to test his
car in traffic, a move that ended in crum-
pled sheet metal but one he defended as
the right decision.
“I’m a huge advocate of going out
there in the pack,” Hamlin said. “These
things happen … really no fault of any-
one.”

tices were largely uneventful as teams

cars before Sunday’s time trials. There

wreck of the season

Technically, the 2019 NASCAR Cup
Series season hasn’t started yet, but
drivers are already wrecking on the race
track.
Saturday at Daytona International
Speedway, drivers hit the 2.5-mile track
for practice ahead of Sunday’s Advance
Auto Parts Clash, a 75-lap exhibition
event one week before the season-open-
ing Daytona 500.
While practicing drafting Saturday
morning – the first practice session for
Cup Series drivers in the days leading up
to the 500 – Chase Elliott was riding in
the outside lane with his No. 9 Chevrolet.
When he tried to move to the bottom of
the track, there wasn’t enough room, so
he fell to the middle lane and dropped
way back in the group before hitting
Ryan Newman in the No. 6 Ford and
eventually hit the wall.
The No. 9 car created a ripple effect
and collected Newman, while also forc-
ing Kevin Harvick in the No. 4 Ford to
rear-end Denny Hamlin in the No. 11
Toyota. All four cars suffered varying
levels of damage.

spots in the Daytona 500 field, raising
qualifying stakes.
Ryan Truex is trying to join his broth-

row a hauler to get to the track. TBR is
easing back into fulltime racing, and an
18-wheeler isn’t part of the initial bud-

tional Speedway. So if these teams have
to move to a backup car for the Clash on
Sunday, they’ll have to get another one in
the next week to have a backup car for
the Daytona 500.
Elliott and Hamlin will go to their
backup cars, while Harvick and New-
man will not, per FOX Sports.
Here’s a look at the wreck in slow mo-
tion, showing that Harvick, Hamlin and
Newman were in the wrong place at the
wrong time.
Afterward, Elliott explained that he
was trying to move to the inside of the
track, but as he did, the gap he was eye-
ing closed. He told FOX Sports:
“Aric (Almirola) and I were trying to
get up to speed, and he got to the bottom.
And I thought, ‘All right, I’ll go to the bot-
tom.’ Well, that hole closed up, so I was
just gonna kind of ride it out in the mid-
dle and fall to the back. …
“Felt bad. If it was my fault, I apolo-
gize. Yeah, looks like I crowded (New-
man). Certainly not a good way to start
the week. Hopefully we won’t tear any-
thing else up.”

Key takeaways from
NCAA seed unveiling
Scott Gleeson
USA TODAY
If the NCAA tournament started to-
day, Duke, Tennessee, Virginia and Gon-
zaga would be No. 1 seeds, the NCAA se-
lection committee unveiled Saturday as
part of its annual top-16 seed announce-
ment previewing 2019’s March Mad-
ness. The NCAA revealed the top four
seeds in each tournament region for the
third consecutive year.
“Duke and Tennessee were essential-
ly No. 1 and No. 1a; it was that close,” said
NCAA committee chair Bernard Muir in
a statement. “A slight edge in some of the
metrics was the difference in Duke get-
ting the overall top seed.”
Muir added on CBS that “strength of
schedule won it for this Duke team.” The
Blue Devils, who face Virginia on the
road Saturday, beat the Cavaliers on Jan.
19 in the first meeting between the two
ACC powers.
Virginia however leads the NET, the
NCAA’s new metric replacing the RPI
this season. Fourteen of the 16 teams an-
nounced Saturday were in the top-16 of
the NET rankings.
At the No. 2 line, Kentucky, Michigan,
North Carolina and Michigan State
edged No. 3 seeds Purdue, Kansas,
Houston and Marquette. The final four
teams revealed Saturday were No. 4
seeds Iowa State, Nevada, Louisville and
Wisconsin.
Here’s a look at the top 16 teams:
1. Duke (top overall No. 1 seed)
2. Tennessee (second No. 1 seed)
3. Virginia (third No. 1 seed)
4. Gonzaga (fourth No. 1 seed)
5. Kentucky (first No. 2 seed)
6. Michigan (second No. 2 seed)
7. North Carolina (third No. 2 seed)
8. Michigan State (fourth No. 2 seed)
9. Purdue (first No. 3 seed)
10. Kansas (second No. 3 seed)
11. Houston (third No. 3 seed)
12. Marquette (fourth No. 3 seed)
13. Iowa State (first No. 4 seed)
14. Nevada (second No. 4 seed)

er a schedule with smaller teams and
was in the car Saturday practicing for
the Daytona 500. A driver change can be
made all the way up until the Feb. 17
race, but Chastain is focused only on
what he can control.
“Walking into the cup garage and
seeing a racecar with my name on the
roof being prepared to run the Daytona
500 is something I’ll never forget,”
Chastain posted on social media. He lat-
er added a picture of his car headed onto

LSU. Muir said “we went with Wiscon-
sin, primarily because of their Quadrant
1 wins.” The Badgers have five Q1 wins,
which are top-30 home/top-50 neutral/
top-75 road victory. Villanova only has
three entering Saturday.
The three biggest issues with Satur-
day’s unveiling:
1. Houston (No. 3) was under-seed-
ed. The Cougars have the best record in
the country with only one loss to an
NCAA tourney-caliber team in Temple
and also were No. 7 in the NET rankings.
They’ve got four Q1 wins, three of which
were on the road. They should’ve been
the top No. 3 seed, at worst.
2. Purdue (No. 3) was over-seeded.
The Boilermakers have too many losses
(six) to be the top No. 3 seed – even if
that seeding line is correct.
3. Nevada (No. 4) was over-seeded.
The Wolf Pack have only lost one game
but have zero Q1 wins. They also have a
strength-of-schedule in the 100s. It’s
questionable that they made the cut
here even with just one loss.
History shows the February unveiling
is typically a fairly accurate forecast. In
2017, 15 of the 16 teams ranked in the in-
season top 16 were ranked in the actual
top 16. Last year that number dropped to
13 out of 16.

Surging Clemson outlasts Virginia Tech

Clemson 59, No. 11 Virginia Tech 51:
Shelton Mitchell scored 22 points with a
career-best five 3-pointers and host
Clemson (15-8, 5-5 ACC) outlasted Vir-
ginia Tech (18-5, 7-4) on Saturday for the
Tigers’ fourth straight victory.
The Hokies made just one field goal in
the final 8:33 in losing consecutive games
for the first time this season.
The Tigers were ranked when the sea-
son began but were written off by many
when they opened ACC play at 1-5. Clem-
son is finally looking like the team that
surprised many when it reached the
NCAA Tournament’s round of 16 last
March.
Virginia Tech had its chances and was
down just 41-40 after Kerry Blackshear
Jr.’s basket with 12:29 to go. But Clem-
son’s Marcquise Reed and Hunter Tyson
followed with 3-pointers to build the
lead.
No. 1 Tennessee 73, Florida 61: Grant
Williams scored 16 points as host Ten-
nessee (22-1, 10-0 SEC) defeated Florida
to complete a season sweep of the Gators
(12-11, 4-6) and extend its school-record
winning streak to 18 games.
Tennessee owns the longest active
winning streak of any Division I team.
This also marks the biggest winning
streak of Rick Barnes’ 32-year head
coaching career, surpassing the 17-game
string that started Texas’ 2009-10 sea-
son.
No. 2 Duke 81, No. 3 Virginia 71: RJ
Barrett scored 26 points, Zion William-
son had 18 and Duke (21-2, 9-1 ACC) used
an early barrage of 3-pointers to stun
host Virginia (20-2, 8-2) and then held off
the Cavaliers.
Barrett hit his first five tries from 3-
point range for the Blue Devils. His fifth
one gave them a 29-15 lead after less than
12 minutes of play. Cam Reddish took
over after that, hitting 5 of his first 6, the
last three early in the second half as the
Blue Devils rebuilt their lead to 52-41. He
finished with 17 points.

Thriller: Utah stuns UCLA
on Van Dyke’s 3-pointer

LOS ANGELES – Sedrick Barefield
dribbled into two defenders, pivoted
and passed to Parker Van Dyke with the
clock ticking down. Van Dyke took aim
with two UCLA players leaping at him
and sank a 3-pointer from well behind
the line at the buzzer for Utah’s only lead
of the game.
His basket completed a 22-point
comeback and gave Utah a 93-92 vic-
tory on Saturday.
“My heart is fine, but my mind is real-
ly blown right now,” Utes coach Larry
Krystkowiak said.
Timmy Allen scored 18 of his 22
points in the second half to lead the Utes
(13-10, 7-4 Pac-12). Barefield added 19
points and Riley Battin had 18. Van Dyke
made five 3-pointers in the second half
and finished with 15 points.
“It felt really good coming out of my
hands,” Van Dyke said about the game-
winning shot. “When you have the ball
in your hands in the last two seconds,
you have to let it fly.”
Jaylen Hands scored a career-high 27
points for the Bruins, who dropped their
third in a row for the second time under
interim coach Murry Bartow. Hands tied
his career high with four 3-pointers.
“That was crazy out there,” Hands
said.
The Bruins (12-12, 5-6) led by 22 with
12:10 remaining only to get outscored
48-25 the rest of the game, including
23-9 in the last 2:45.
“It was just about the last 10 plays,”
Van Dyke said. “If those don’t go your
way, you really don’t have a shot. Some
luck was involved because they missed
some free throws. Coach K always talks
about keeping the fight.”
After making their first 12 free
throws, the Bruins went 10 of 17 from the
line over the final 6:56.
“Maybe got a little tentative the last
six, seven minutes of the game and last
four, five minutes of the game we just
couldn’t get a stop,” Bartow said. “They
made some incredible plays. We turned
it over and missed a bunch of free
throws.”
After employing a zone defense in re-
cent games, the Bruins came out playing
man-to-man and it paid dividends. The
Utes missed their first four shots and
committed nine turnovers in the first
half.

Filip Petrusev had 15 for Gonzaga (23-2,

up in The AP poll after No. 3 Virginia lost

No. 5 Kentucky 71, Mississippi State
67: PJ Washington scored 23 points, Kel-
don Johnson added 13 and Kentucky
(20-3, 9-1 SEC) held on to beat host Mis-
sissippi State (16-7, 4-6).
Kentucky has won 10 straight games
since losing to Alabama in its conference
opener on Jan. 5. The Wildcats had to
work for this one after an 18-point lead
dwindled to one possession with 1:18 left,
but the Bulldogs weren’t able to score
again.
No. 6 Nevada 91, New Mexico 62:
Trey Porter had 20 points and nine re-
bounds as host Nevada (23-1, 10-1 Moun-
tain West) avenged its only loss of the
season in a dominating win over New
Mexico (10-13, 4-7).

David Singleton (34) and Chris Smith
(5) defend on Saturday in Los
Angeles. KELVIN KUO/USA TODAY SPORTS
The Bruins shot 70 percent from the
floor in taking a 49-32 halftime lead.
Jalen Hill and Cody Riley teamed up
for two highlight plays. Riley tossed up
consecutive passes that Hill dunked
off of, capping a 7-0 run going into the
break.
BIG PICTURE
Utah: The Utes swept their week-
end in Los Angeles. They’re still in the
upper half of a weakened Pac-12, but
they have a tough schedule the rest of
the way, including hosting second-
place Arizona State and visiting unde-
feated Washington.
UCLA: The loss dropped the Bruins
below .500 in league play with seven
games remaining. They go on the road
next week to face winless California
and five-win Stanford. They play Colo-
rado again, which like Cal is below
UCLA in the standings. As it is, the
Bruins will likely need to win the
Pac-12 tourney to get into the NCAA
Tournament.
BAD MEMORIES
The loss brought back memories of
UCLA’s stunning overtime win at Ore-
gon on Jan. 10. The Bruins rallied from
a nine-point deficit with 58 seconds
left to force overtime and ultimately
won 87-84. “It’s been a wild season,”
Hands said.
52: Jon Teske had 17 points and 12 re-
bounds, holding his own inside against
Ethan Happ, and Charles Matthews
scored 16 of his 18 points in the second
half to lift host Michigan (22-2, 11-2 Big
Ten) over Wisconsin (17-7, 9-4).
The Big Ten-leading Wolverines
avenged one of their only losses this sea-
son despite going 0 for 10 from 3-point
range in the second half. Michigan led 51-
50 in a tight defensive struggle before
pulling away with eight straight points.
No. 8 North Carolina 88, Miami 85
(OT): Kenny Williams hit the go-ahead 3-
pointer with 2:08 left in overtime to help
host North Carolina (19-4, 9-1 ACC) hold
off Miami (10-13, 2-9).
Freshman Coby White matched his
season high with 33 points for the Tar
Heels, who survived a wild finish filled
with big shots by both teams. UNC forced
overtime on Luke Maye’s 3-pointer with
10.2 seconds left, then got two critical
free throws from Cameron Johnson with
12.3 seconds left in the extra period to
cling to a three-point lead.

ing streak, their longest skid in two years.
No. 10 Marquette 66, No. 14 Villanova
65: Markus Howard scored 38 points and
host Marquette (20-4, 9-2) hung on at the
buzzer, edging Villanova (19-5, 10-1) and
handing the Wildcats their first Big East
Conference loss. Marquette led by 15
early in the second half. The Golden Ea-
gles took a 66-63 lead on two free throws
by Howard with 53 seconds left, but Phil
Booth answered with a floater in the lane
that made it a one-point game.
No. 13 Kansas 84, Oklahoma State
72: Dedric Lawson scored 25 points,
Ochai Agbaji hit five 3s and had 23
points, and host Kansas (18-6, 7-4 Big 12)
shrugged off a slow start to beat Oklaho-
ma State (9-14, 2-8). Devon Dotson added
18 points while Mitch Lightfoot provided
a big lift off the bench for the Jayhawks,
who were playing their first game with-
out starting guard Lagerald Vick.
No. 15 Purdue 81, Nebraska 62: Car-
sen Edwards scored 27 points and Grady

ville 75 (OT): Mfiondu Kabengele scored

TCU 92, No. 17 Iowa State 83: Kendric
Davis scored a season-high 22 points,
and TCU (17-6, 5-5 Big 12) stunned host

76: Jeremy Harris had 19 points, eight re-
bounds and six assists, and host Buffalo
(20-3, 8-2 Mid-American Conference)
rallied to beat Central Michigan.
But Ethan Thompson was fouled and
made both free throws, then a California
3-pointer was off the mark on the sub-
sequent possession. Kylor Kelley put
back his own missed shot with 40 sec-
onds left to give the Beavers a 77-71 lead
and a comfortable cushion.
Oregon State led early, but California
went on a 10-2 run, fueled by seven
points from McNeill, to take a 14-11 lead
at the 13:11 mark.
A 10-0 surge by the Beavers, capped
by a 3-pointer from Stephen Thompson
Jr. just before the halftime buzzer, put
Oregon State ahead 38-32 at the break.
BIG PICTURE
California: The Golden Bears have
now allowed nine of 11 Pac-12 opponents
to shoot better than 50 percent. The
Beavers shot 54 percent (25 of 46) . Cali-
fornia had won the previous six games
versus the Beavers and 11 of the last 12
dating back to 2012.
Oregon State: The Beavers came into
Saturday shooting 73.6 percent from the
line, just off pace for the school record of

Bucks make move Davis still Pelicans’

with eye on playoffs best chance to win
Schuyler Dixon Brett Martel
ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS – Khris Middleton thought
Nikola Mirotic tilted a playoff series in
Chicago’s favor nearly four years ago
when the Bulls beat his Milwaukee
Bucks in the first round.
Mirotic will be on Middleton’s side for
the postseason this time around.
The Bucks had already surged to the
NBA’s best record when general man-
ager Jon Horst got the 6-foot-10 Mirotic,
an adept 3-point shooter, in a three-
team trade that sent Milwaukee’s Jason
Smith and Detroit’s Stanley Johnson to
New Orleans. The Pistons got Thon Mak-
er from Milwaukee.
The Pelicans made a similar move to
add Mirotic last February, and he helped
them rally to make the playoffs and ad-
vance to the second round after a sea-
son-ending injury to DeMarcus Cousins.
“Another guy that has playoff experi-
ence, one,” Middleton said. “Two, he can
stretch the floor and he knows how to
play. I remember back when we played
him in the Chicago series … and how he
changed that series for them, the way he
knocked down shots.”
The Bucks are among the more prolif-
ic 3-point teams in the NBA, although
their percentage is in the middle of the
pack.
Behind star forward Giannis Anteto-
kounmpo, Mirotic creates a trio of for-
wards comfortable behind the arc. Mid-
dleton, at 6-7, is second to 7-footer Brook
Lopez in made 3-pointers. Both Middle-
ton and Lopez are shooting slightly bet-
ter than 38 percent. Mirotic is at 37 per-
cent.
“I think we value shooting, so the
more shooting we can put on the court,
the better,” coach Mike Budenholzer
said. “It came together and fit, but obvi-
ously, we felt good about the team prior
to the trade. We feel even better about it
now, so it’s just a good opportunity for
us.”
The Bucks, who lost to the Bulls in six
games in 2015, have reached the playoffs
four of the past six seasons but haven’t
made it out of the first round. Milwaukee
Nikola Mirotic, seen during a game
against the Grizzlies on Jan. 21, was
traded from the Pelicans to the Bucks
this week. JUSTIN FORD/USA TODAY SPORTS
hasn’t won a playoff series in 18 years,
with eight first-round exits since a trip to
the Eastern Conference finals in 2001.
Instead of having to rally a team into
the playoff picture, Mirotic will try to
help keep home-court advantage at
least through the East finals, if not
throughout the playoffs. The Bucks are
two games better than second-place To-
ronto in the East and West-leading Gold-
en State, the two-time defending NBA
champion.
“Jon’s been doing a great job these
last couple of years of just trying to find
ways to improve our team, little trades
here and there, signings here and there,
just whatever that can help us win
games,” Middleton said. “I think this
trade definitely shows that.”
As the Bucks prepared to return home
for the second game of a back-to-back
against Orlando after winning 122-107 in
Dallas on Friday night, Budenholzer
wasn’t sure whether Mirotic would
make his Milwaukee debut against the
Magic.
Two days shy of his 28th birthday, the
native of Montenegro was listed with a
right calf strain while missing his last
seven games with the Pelicans. Mirotic
has been limited to 32 games because of
injuries in his fifth NBA season.
NEW ORLEANS – Even with one foot
out the door, Anthony Davis is showing
he can still produce prolific statistics for
the New Orleans Pelicans.
He only needed 25 minutes to score
32-points in his first game for New Or-
leans since requesting a trade nearly two
weeks ago. Davis also had nine re-
bounds and three blocks in a 122-117 win
over the Minnesota Timberwolves on
Friday night.
Whether his presence in the lineup is
sustainable for a club that is trying to
move on without him – and protect his
trade value by keeping him healthy – re-
mains to be seen. But for now, coach Al-
vin Gentry and other Pelicans veterans
sound inclined to try to make it work.
“He’s obviously made it known that
he won’t sign back, but he still loves the
game of basketball. I know that he loves
us as players, and he’s going to go out
there and play as hard as he can,” Pel-
icans point guard Jrue Holiday said. “If
Anthony’s out there, that’s the best
chance of us winning.”
The Pelicans entered their game at
Memphis on Saturday night at 25-31, five
games behind the Los Angeles Clippers
for the Western Conference’s final play-
off spot with 26 games left.
When Davis initially made his trade
request public through his agent, Rich
Paul, Davis’ image was largely removed
from the Pelicans’ website and promo-
tional material. Gentry also started pro-
viding more playing time to younger
players the club wants to develop.
But after Thursday’s trade deadline
passed without a deal to move Davis, the
Pelicans had to decide if they were will-
ing to defy NBA rules by shelving their
healthy six-time All-Star. For now,
they’ve put him back in the starting line-
up, albeit on reduced playing time as he
works his way back from a sprained left
index finger that had sidelined him since
Jan. 18.
On Friday night, Davis was kept on
the bench in a tense fourth quarter de-
spite the teams being separated by as lit-
Pelicans forward Anthony Davis
warms up before a game against the
Timberwolves on Friday.
SCOTT THRELKELD/AP
tle as one basket several times in the
waning minutes. Gentry said he limited
Davis’ minutes because it had been
weeks since he played.
“I was not going to have him – first
game back – play 38, 40 minutes,” Gen-
try said. “I thought he played well the
minutes that he was in there and did a
great job. He was typical Anthony.”
Gentry is hoping to find a balance
that allows Davis to play – and hopefully
stay healthy – while allowing other
front-court players like the resurgent
Jahlil Okafor and third-year pro Cheick
Diallo to get meaningful minutes.
The Pelicans have made Holiday the
face of the franchise since Davis’ trade
demand. The veteran guard, who is in
the second year of a five-year, $126 mil-
lion contract, said he understands the
inherent conflict between focusing on
players who are committed to the fran-
chise long-term and playing Davis. But
he added, “I think we’re still trying to
win. Having Anthony on our team and
Anthony on the court, in my opinion, is
our best chance of winning.
“So I guess maybe there’s a little give
and take,” Holiday continued. “Maybe
you don’t play him 38 minutes or what-
ever.”

Applying foil elevates even the sim-
plest heart shape to something special,
but getting it to stick is not so simple,
depending on the skills and supplies in-
volved. While I found instructions for
more than half a dozen ways to embel-
lish cards with foil, I narrowed them
down to three methods involving dou-
ble-sided adhesive, stencils and a lami-
nating machine. Luckily, I found craft-

tested all of them and shared her results
her blog. Though she actually tested five
methods, I skipped the techniques in-
volving rubber stamps and tape.

with thin sheets of foil – I purchased a
variety pack made by ThermoWeb – but
from there they diverged in complexity.
Rather than create my own designs, I
downloaded free printable Valentines

Politics

The Supreme Court:

What’s Next and Why it Matters
Alison Gash / University of Oregon
Commendation for Excellence in Teaching

The Supreme Court has the power to sidestep public opinion, upend federal
legislation, constrain state governance, and even bring down the President.
Professor Alison Gash will take us back to the Court’s humble beginnings,
charting how the Court amassed its power. Through this lens, Professor Gash will
demonstrate why the Court’s makeup can make or break American public policy.

Professor Gash will also discuss in some detail the recent hard fought confirmation
of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and whether the politics of Kavanaugh’s
and other recent Court nominations may well end up eroding the “checking”
capacity of the Court. As she will discuss, the founding fathers went to great
lengths to insulate the federal judiciary from the passions of partisanship and
majority will in order to preserve its power to hold politics accountable to a more
durable set of principles and values. To what degree will this be damaged if Court
nominations and nominees become vulnerable to the same partisan strife that
characterizes the political world?

Alison Gash is a political science professor at the University of Oregon, where she
has received several fellowships and grants for her teaching. She specializes in US
Supreme Court and civil rights laws.

For more than a century, Chicago has
influenced writers whose integral works
have helped shape America’s identity.
Before becoming famous for his 1900
novel, “Sister Carrie,” Theodore Dreiser
was a newspaper reporter at The Chi-
cago Globe. He also had verse published
in Chicagoan Harriet Monroe’s Poetry
magazine, still based in the city today.
Canadian-American writer Saul Bel-
low began his writing career in Chicago
during the 1930s as part of the Federal
Writers’ Project, a program started un-

Open to interpretation
Published in 1623, Shakespeare’s
First Folio, containing 36 plays, is not
only one of the most influential books of
the English language, but also a venera-
ble stage craft training manual that to-
day’s directors and actors use to inter-
pret the Bard’s works. (It’s also what
scholars refer to as the first published
collection of Shakespeare’s plays.) Chi-
cago Shakespeare Theater (chicagosh-
akes.com) is renowned nationwide for
its rigorous, text-focused First Folio
technique training.
Barbara Gaines, the theater’s founder
and artistic director, says, “If we do our
jobs as storytellers onstage, the audi-
ence can easily understand every mo-
ment of the story without ever having
read the play.”
She adds that Shakespeare’s iambic
pentameter scripts are “loaded with
clues” telling actors how to reveal char-
acters and propel the story forward.
These clues include punctuation,
rhyme, rhythm and syntax signaling
scene changes.
Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Na-
vy Pier has three performance venues
staging this season’s productions: “Nell
Gwynn,” “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream,” “Hamlet,” Chicago’s own Q
Brothers’ hip-hop version of Charles
Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” “An In-
spector Calls” and “Bedknobs and
Broomsticks,” as well as free pre- and
postshow audience enrichment pro-
gramming.
Literary time capsule
Established in 1887, the Newberry Li-
brary (newberry.org) enjoyed stardom
as a world-renowned research institu-
tion long before Chicago-based author
Audrey Niffenegger’s best-seller, “The
Time Traveler’s Wife,” about a librarian
at the Newberry with the ability to drift
through time. Open to the public, visi-
tors can time travel, too, through the li-
brary’s collection spanning six centu-
ries of manuscripts, books, maps, mu-
sic, periodicals and famous writers’ let-
ters, photos and personal belongings.

and handle these treasured items.
Chicago-centric artifacts include
newspaperman Ben Hecht’s 1928 Oscar
awarded for his original screenplay of
silent film “Underworld,” the first gang-
ster movie; correspondence between
author Willa Cather and Chicago Tri-
bune literary critic Fanny Butcher; and
Ernest Hemingway’s letter to Sherwood
Anderson expressing pleasure with
James Joyce’s Ulysses, published in
1922 and of which the Newberry has a
first edition.

never straying from the playwright’s in-
tent,” says Michael Halberstam, co-

homage to the north suburban Glencoe

TRAVEL TRENDS
New year brings good, bad changes
Bill McGee
Special to USA TODAY
The new year is already bringing new
challenges for travelers, as well as new
questions. According to industry ex-
perts willing to prognosticate, the com-
ing 12 months will usher in a mix of good
news, bad news and uncertain news.
For anyone planning to travel in 2019, it
pays to consider their warnings.
Will airline seats keep shrinking?
There’s one key travel issue for 2019 I
raised in November, when I wrote “Air-
line seat size: Will FAA bring relief to
squeezed flyers?” Domestic airlines —
from the Big Three of American, Delta
and United to ultra-low-cost carriers
such as Allegiant, Frontier and Spirit —
all are making seating accommodations
tighter.
The FAA has been given a congres-
sional mandate to examine airline seat
standards in the coming months, so
we’ll soon learn if regulatory action will
be taken. And passenger advocate Char-
lie Leocha, president of Travelers Unit-
ed, predicts airline seating will face in-
tense scrutiny in other ways this year:
“Airlines will come under fire for falsely
advertising available seating when al-
lowing families to select seats on
planes. And, DOT will institute a family
sitting together rulemaking that will
probably become effective in late 2020.”
Technology’s dark side?
For years, technology has been a dou-
ble-edged sword for travelers – enhanc-
ing efficiency, speed and safety while
severely disrupting travel plans when
that same technology fails. “The biggest

probabilities for changes affecting U.S.
travelers in 2019 will be congestion and
natural disruptions,” says Paul Ruden,
former executive vice president for legal
and industry affairs for the American
Society of Travel Advisors. He asserts
that increased congestion is likely,
based on forecasts of continued signifi-
cant global growth in travel demand
“running into” constraints on the capac-
ity of destination infrastructure to cope.
Adding to this is climate change, which
Ruden believes could increase “unpre-
dictable and widespread disruptive and
destructive events.”
What can you do? Keep abreast of
schedule deviations and devise alterna-
tive plans by using travel professionals
or your own mobile devices. Wide-
spread disruptions are not the time to
stand in line or stay on hold.
Cruising’s halcyon era?
One sector of the travel industry is
poised for record expansion, according
to Cheryl Rosen, editor at large for Trav-
el Market Report. She says, “The two
biggest changes for 2019 are related: an
historic increase in capacity by the
cruise companies, and a big return to
the use of professional travel agents by
consumers looking to book them.”
Cruise Lines International Association
reports major brands such as Carnival,
Celebrity, Costa, Norwegian, Princess
and Royal Caribbean are among the
lines launching 18 new ships this year,
and these offerings will run the gamut
on size, up to some of the largest vessels
in history. Rosen notes: “You can sail the
coast of Croatia on a ship with 35 cabins
or drive a race car on a ship with 5,000;
you can see any continent, navigate any
river, visit the Arctic or the Mekong. Or

you can stay close to home off the coast
of Alaska or on the Mississippi or the
Great Lakes.” These developments
could spur untold numbers of travelers
to set sail. As Rosen says, “2019 will like-
ly be the year that many of the more
than 90 percent of Americans who have
never cruised will give it a try.”
Time to cash in points? Maybe …
Back in October, travel journalist Joe
Brancatelli posted “Too Many Miles,
Too Few Seats.” With airline cabins full-
er than ever, is the squeeze to earn a seat
via a frequent-flyer program tougher
than ever? Randy Petersen, founder of
FlyerTalk and the world’s leading au-
thority on loyalty programs, offers his
take.
But his advice depends in large part
on demographics: “Earn or burn?
Younger members can continue to earn
and burn to their hearts’ desire. (Others)
should look for optimal opportunities to
burn toward their bucket list with the
right deals, but save a little for rainy
days.”
Less competition?
Mergers and acquisitions in all sec-
tors of the industry have inevitably led
to a lack of competition, service de-
creases and price increases. Now there’s
growing concern over competition be-
ing harmed not by consolidation, but by
government inaction.
Kevin Mitchell, chairman of the Busi-
ness Travel Coalition, states: “Travelers
can expect to face higher fares from less
competition while smaller airlines
wishing to compete against these giants
will find it challenging to gain access to
airport infrastructure and takeoff and

landing slots in key airports these
mega-carriers dominate. Regulators on
both sides of the Atlantic need to think
long and hard before giving already
powerful and dominant alliances even
greater leeway to legally collude on
fares, scheduling and other matters not
in the public interest.”
Airline safety trends require focus
The Flight Safety Foundation’s Avia-
tionSafetyNetwork reported that com-
mercial aviation’s historically impres-
sive safety record of 2017 wasn’t upheld
to the same extent last year. Make no
mistake: Air travel remained the statis-
tically safest form of transportation in
2018, even as a record 4.5 billion pas-
sengers flew. But as John Cox noted:
“Following aviation’s safest year in 2017,
this year seems a bit of a letdown.”
That’s because there were 16 fatal air-
line accidents worldwide, and the num-
ber of casualties soared to a five-year
high, up from 59 in 2017 to 555. South-
west Airlines’ Flight 1380 on April 17,
when a passenger was partially sucked
out of the cabin after engine debris
punctured a hole in the fuselage, crys-
tallized the need for both U.S. airlines
and the Federal Aviation Administra-
tion to remain vigilant.
Brexit: Anyone’s guess
Britain’s departure from the Euro-
pean Union will have myriad effects on
passports and travel visas, air service,
cruise itineraries, travel taxation and
dozens of other issues.
Stay tuned. And safe travels in 2019.

Desert Research Park #4 – Development Agreement
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Coachella
will hold a public hearing at the Coachella City Hall on Wednesday, February
20, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. and the City Council of the City of Coachella will hold a
public hearing on Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. to consider oral
and written testimony regarding a Development Agreement for the Desert Re-
search Park #4 project (previously known as the CTI project) on 6.06 acres locat-
ed at 84-811 Avenue 48, in Coachella, California.
The Development Agreement will vest the prior-approved entitlements includ-
ing Conditional Use Permit 280 (Modification #2) and Architectural Review 16-
08 (Modification #1) to allow the construction of a new 126,000 square foot
cannabis cultivation greenhouse development. The Development Agreement
will be for a term of seven (7) years with options for one three-year (3-year) ex-
tension, and will impose fees on the Project including a Development Agree-
ment fee, a production/facility fee, cultivation fee, manufacturing fee, and a
distribution fee, consistent with voter approved Measure II, the Coachella Mari-
juana Tax.
On July 13, 2016 the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (EA
#15-07) and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the prior CTI project pursuant
to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The previ-
ously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration analyzed the potential impacts
of a development agreement that was included for the prior CTI project. The
proposed Desert Research Park #4 Development Agreement does not create any
new environmental effects that were not previously contemplated in the initial
study. As such, no additional new environmental review is required at this time.
The case files and architectural drawings for the proposed project are available
for public inspection Monday through Thursday, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at
the City of Coachella Development Services Department (Se Habla Español) lo-
cated at the address below.

BIGHORN Golf Club Charities care

Madeline Zuckerman
Special to Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK

70 local nonprofits in our community

were the lucky recipients of
$600,000.00 in grants from BIGHORN
Golf Club Charities through its BIGHORN
Cares grant program. For the last five
years BIGHORN Cares has been funding
deserving Coachella Valley nonprofit or-
ganizations that demonstrate a real need
and are making a significant impact and
difference in our community. ,
“I am proud to announce that BIG-
HORN Cares is in its fifth year and more
than $2.3 million dollars has been dis-
tributed to 242 specific projects,” stated
Kelly Levy, Charities & Marketing Direc-
tor at BIGHORN Golf Club. “This program
is supported by BIGHORN members’
contributions, 100% of which are passed
through to qualified local nonprofits.
This is all made possible because of the
generosity of the 500 plus BIGHORN
members. We could not impact this com-
munity the way we do without our mem-
bers. They are the most generous, sup-
portive people, and it shines through in
these charitable organizations. I want to
thank our caring BIGHORN members, all
Board members of BIGHORN Cares, as
well as, Mr. and Mrs. R.D. Hubbard for
making dreams come true. And, a spe-
cial thanks to our One West Bank spon-
sor. I personally visited these nonprofits
and have seen the unbelievable efforts
and achievements these organizations
have made throughout the Coachella
Valley. Their dedication as Board Mem-
bers, Directors, Staff, and Volunteers
warmed my heart, and ingrained ever-
lasting memories for me to share with
our many members who participate in
this worthwhile program. We are grate-
ful to the BIGHORN members who par-

CVRep
OPENING
NIGHT
Debut
‘WHITE’
Robin Montgomery
Special to Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
You do not want to miss this play!
Opening night was standing room
only.
The 90-minute work moves quickly
as it examines racial tourism, identity,
art and how even the best rehearsed
plans can spin out of control into
something no one imagines. When you
read the bio of playwright James
Ijames, among his numerous credits is
the Terrance McNally New Play Award
for “White”. No wonder he won that
award. This play is so full of surprises
that you do not see coming. It will keep
you spellbound and laughing.
The cast was quite simply awe-
some. Franceli Chapman played Va-
nessa and another role that will ruin
the play if I mention it here. Other cast
members include Charlotte Munson
making her CVRep debut as Jane, An-
thony Saludares, whose background
includes improv, film and commer-
cials, played Tanner, and Paul David
Story with a resume full of stage per-
formances, portrayed Gus,.
Ron Celona, CVRep Artistic Direc-
tor, directed the play with his usual
skill and aplomb. The ending came too
quickly for the audience and the cast
did a number of “bows”.
The season sponsors include Har-
old Matzner, Spencer’s Restaurant,
Eisenhower Health, The Fremont
Foundation, Peggy Jacobs and Bob
Howard.
The after party, including the cast
who were mobbed by well-wishers,
was so sensational that no one wanted
to leave. Guests including Peggy Ja-
cobs, Jean Viereck, Mitch Blumberg,
Sue Duman, Fran Belzberg, Sid Craig,

A nod to the production staff for
making “White” such a delight: Louise

At 10:00 am, we all headed into the
Richards Center for the Arts at Palm
Springs High School for a morning of quite
simply some of the best short films we
have seen in a long time.
The eight short films ranged from ani-
mation to fictional drama and were all
produced, directed and written by wom-
en. They covered topics such as women’s
health, body image, relationships, cultural
diversity and breaking barriers. My per-
sonal favorite was The Final Show,” a
spoof on the Bachelorette, starring Marion
Ross. The screenings were followed by a
Question & Answer session with Bola

dents from the school district’s Musical
Theatre University, a pre-professional
program for musical theater. Each student
was required to sing 16-32 bars of a song or
do a short monologue during the master
class.
After giving a brief performance during
the auditions, each student stood before
the two Jersey Boys to receive valuable
constructive criticism and encourage-
ment. Kit or Kevin would sometimes ask
the student to sing or recite their chosen
piece again. The student would then try to
absorb their advice and usually the second

Old Town Artisan Studios Gratitude Gala
Marge Dodge
Special to Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
Music, art, food and friends came to-
gether in celebration of generous donors
at the Old Town Artisan Studios Grati-
tude Gala. No tuxedos or glamorous
gowns, but members of the Monet Donor
Circle were attired in casual chic, perfect
for the evening of dinner and music on
the patio under a waning moon.
Guests strolled through the art gallery
and various studios while enjoying liba-
tions and appetizers. The outdoor kitch-
en prepared an enormous pan of Valen-
cian paella boasting sausage and shrimp
as guests watched and then enjoyed a
hearty helping of the rice dish with an-
cient roots. Tables and chairs dotted the
patio and flames from two fire pits
danced to the rhythm of the music.
Executive director Thomas Burns
greeted the attendees with a “state of the
studio” speech. He said, “For our out-
reach program we had a goal of serving
16,000 people and exceeded that by
reaching 21,683 individuals in 2018. We
have increased the number of class offer-
ings, increased staff from five to seven,

down, plus soft blue lights flooding each

hat once was a small village is now barren and surrounded by barbed wire. All signs of life
have dissipated. Pieces of wood that had been walls are splintered beneath the sand. Foot-
worn paths that outlined the wind of daily travel are now soft and difficult to walk through.
Even the trees were uprooted with the community. Nothing was left untouched. h Last
spring, the nearly 60 residents of the shantytown in Coachella watched their homes fall to the ground as a
sandstorm rose around them. They clambered to hold any last remnants close to their chests. One woman lost
her mother’s jewelry. A man lost his cats. Most residents lost furniture and dishes and bedsheets. h The
community wasn’t displaced by an earthquake or a raging brush fire. Instead, it was $630,320 of taxpayer
money. h In early May, the California Department of Transportation evicted the community along Highway
86 near Dillon Road as part of its statewide push to clean up encampments on its property.

Caltrans cited blight, safety, health and
trespassing concerns.
“It was unbelievable,” said Carene Riale,
32, a former resident of the Coachella en-
campment. “I stood there and looked at the
flattened land, empty, desolate. Nothing was
left. I was in tears.”
The encampment didn’t have a name.
The residents just called it home.
Caltrans had cleared its land on the other
side of Highway 86 in 2016. Most residents
shuffled from that encampment to this one.
This time, state transportation officials
made the decision to raze the encampment
and left the task of housing to local agencies.
The Riverside County Department of
Public Social Services stepped in. By the end
of 2018, the county has spent $86,995 to pro-
vide temporary motel stays and $30,720 for
long-term housing.
The majority of the costs were shouldered
by Caltrans, which spent $487,605 on demo-
lition and site clean up. Caltrans also was re-
sponsible for paying for the $25,000 Califor-
nia Highway Patrol bill for officers who pa-
trolled the site the day of eviction.
The Desert Sun followed several evicted
residents to document the outcome, both
human and financial.
For Caltrans, the demolition was a suc-
cess: The land is now empty and available
for the department’s use. For those evicted,
the picture is more complicated: Slightly
more than half found housing through coun-
ty services, but many are still on the streets
nine months later.
“We got all hopeful. We had hope and a
moment of, ‘Oh my God, will we have a front
yard soon?’ But then the hope went away. It
exploded. We feel helpless,” said Riale, who
hasn’t found permanent housing and is
staying temporarily with her mother in La
Quinta.
Riale and her partner received one of the
motel vouchers given out on eviction day,
but they struggled to find a landlord willing
to approve their lease for long-term housing.
“We might as well camp back out there again
since the county couldn’t help,” she said.
“We were happier out there; it was home. We
didn’t live like barbarians. We had every-
thing we needed.”
Others were thankful they successfully
made it through the housing process. Angie
Puerta, 57, felt blessed for being placed in an
apartment in Desert Hot Springs, where she
would have a rental subsidy for a portion of
the year.
Statewide, Caltrans’ spending to clear en-
campments has soared as California’s un-
sheltered homeless population has skyrock-
eted. In 2018, the agency spent $12.3 million
on similar projects statewide, up 277 per-
cent from 2013. Caltrans officials are sympa-
thetic to those they evicted, but will con-
tinue to prioritize the cleanups because the
number of encampments on the depart-
ment’s property statewide increased 285
percent over the past five years, Caltrans
spokesman Matt Rocco said.
“Encampments have the potential to pose
a public health and safety risk to both the
public and our workers,” he said. “Fires have
been set in illegal encampments and water
quality is also an issue from trash and haz-
ardous material getting into our drainage
systems.”
Excavators came; housing wasn’t
ready
The Coachella Valley’s largest encamp-
ment started with just one or two shacks
burrowed into the desert. It grew to a village
over the course of a few years and became
more visible to passers-by.
In March 2018, Caltrans posted the first
notice threatening evictions at the end of
the month, but the agency delayed acting
twice, hoping to connect residents to hous-
ing opportunities first. The eviction also was
delayed because of traffic concerns relating
to the nearby Coachella and Stagecoach mu-
sic festivals in April, said Terri Kasinga, a
Caltrans spokeswoman.
But by early May, Caltrans ordered the

land habitable would be cleared.
The process was slightly delayed after
someone stole the wires and batteries from
the excavator. Residents were tickled; Cal-
trans officials were not amused.
After that May 1 meeting, most residents
still didn’t know where they would sleep that

to continue packing. Some had grocery-

Historically, there has been little case law
Angie Puerta
Formerly homeless regarding this trespassing phenomenon, but
a recent court decision is paving a way for-
ward. In the case of Martin v. Boise, Idaho,
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Cir-
cuit ruled in September that cities can’t
criminalize sleeping on public land when
people have no alternative, especially if
emergency shelters are at or over capacity.
The decision impacts nine Western states,
including California. Public agencies are
now required to offer an alternative place for
people to live that is equal to or better than
where they were evicted from and to tempo-
rarily store personal possessions.
Currently, shelters in the Coachella Valley
are at capacity and all nine cities in the val-
ley have anti-camping ordinances that for-

razed at the Coachella homeless rules. This court decision trumps

The Boise case referenced Fourth and
Eighth amendment rights, arguing that ar-
resting people for sleeping on public proper-
ty when they had no alternative is a cruel
punishment for being homeless. This was
also the first, and so far only, time the U.S.
Department of Justice has weighed in on an
Eighth Amendment argument for such
cases, said Eve Garrow, ACLU of Southern
California homelessness policy analyst.
Steven DeCaprio, the director of the
Berkeley-based Meiklejohn Civil Liberties
Institute, a nonprofit that has advocated for
similar cases, said the Boise ruling was over-
due.
“What angers me is that human beings
struggling on the streets are treated as blight
that needs to be cleaned up,” DeCaprio said.
“That, to me, is a sickness in our culture and
our nation. I would hope the courts moving
forward will harmonize compassion and
dignity and civil rights so we have a sense of
what people’s rights are when homeless.”
Caltrans was in compliance with the
court’s ruling because it worked with local
agencies to house people and offered to store
personal property for up to 90 days.
A difficult process
Though finding shelter for 60 people on
short notice was a heavy lift, Riverside
County officials said the process was han-
dled well.
“I believe that overall this was successful
... the county was responsive and dynamic
and nimble and worked with our ‘Continu-
um of Care’ partners,” said Sarah Mack, Riv-
erside County Interim Department of Public
Social Services director. “We will use it to
drive how we handle other encampments
throughout the county.”
Path of Life Ministries, Step Up and the
Riverside County Housing Authority shared
the housing responsibilities.
Riverside-based Path of Life Ministries is
a nonprofit housing agency that received a
$2.5 million contract in 2018 that spans
through June 2019 from the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments, the county and
participating municipalities to manage the
CV Housing First program to address home-
lessness in the valley. Step Up is a San Ber-
nardino County-based agency that does
similar work, but received a fraction of the
funds that Path of Life did.
The agencies followed a housing-first
model, which places a person into a home
first, then pairs a caseworker with the indi-
vidual to overcome obstacles such as unem-
ployment or behavioral health issues. A vital
part of the housing placements is ongoing
support from a caseworker. Those with suc-
cessful placements sing the praises of their
caseworkers, but others say they haven’t
heard from their caseworkers since they
were given their keys, and now must deal
with issues, like broken heaters, that their
new landlord won’t address.
Opponents of the housing-first model ar-
gue it takes funding away from emergency
shelters, which is where many encampment
residents stayed after 28 days in the motels
as they waited for their housing placement.
In general, placement can take three months
to a few years. And those who don’t have the
skills to live on their own often end up back
in a shelter.
By the end of 2018, the department re-
ported that 33 of the 60 encampment resi-
dents had been placed in housing. The re-
mainder of the people never made it into the
county’s system for a variety of reasons.
Some were not interested in housing, others
never had contact with a caseworker, others
fell off the housing list amid bureaucratic
confusion and some did not qualify for
housing. Undocumented immigrants, for ex-
ample, are not eligible for assistance.
Of those 33 individuals, 12 received rapid-
rehousing placements and 21 received per-
manent supportive housing.
Rapid rehousing comes with a two year-
maximum rental subsidy and is open to any-
one who is homeless. Permanent supportive
housing is meant for someone who is chron-
ically homeless and has a dual diagnosis. A
dual diagnosis could be bipolar disorder and
substance abuse, for example. Permanent
supportive housing comes with an indefi-
nite subsidy. As a client’s income increases,
the subsidy is reduced.

Continued from Page 2F
Riverside County officials said in October,
twice in December, and twice in January,
that they knew of only one person who was
still waiting for housing and were not aware
of pending evictions. However, county offi-
cials later revised their numbers to say that
of the 33 people they had counted as housed,
one person left their placement and hasn’t
been in contact since, one person is in bridge
housing waiting to be placed in permanent
supportive housing and five people are wait-
ing for placements, which means they could
be living on the streets or staying in emer-
gency shelter.
Four of those who received housing are
potentially facing evictions, according to the
county and Step Up.
The pending evictions stem from drug
use, criminal activity and high rates of visi-
tors, though caseworkers are hoping to work
with the tenants and landlords to find a rem-
edy. Tom Cox, program director of the Coa-
chella Valley Rescue Mission in Indio, was
disappointed to learn about the pending
evictions. Cox said the housing-first model
can be successful, but expecting someone to
instantly meld to a new life is unreasonable
without adequate support from a casework-
er to help with the transition to a new life. He
also pointed out that as funding for housing
increased, funding for caseworkers de-
creased.
Many of the 27 people who did not receive
housing were under the impression that
they remained on the housing voucher list,
not realizing they had been dropped. In
some instances, caseworkers dropped cli-
ents who couldn’t be reached. That is not
uncommon: Since 2016, about 30 percent of
people assessed for housing in Riverside
County were “inactivated due to loss of con-
tact,” according to a Riverside County Con-
tinuum of Care report.
Some clients missed phone calls from
their caseworkers, also known as “housing
navigators.” Cox, the rescue mission direc-
tor, added that it’s common for the individ-
uals he works with to miss phone calls be-
cause they don’t always have a place to
charge their phones.
“The housing navigator would call the
(Coachella Valley Rescue Mission) and ask if
their client was staying here. And I would
say, ‘yes, they will be here when we open up
for lunch in the afternoon.’ And then (the
caseworker) would show up in the morning,
obviously not find them, and count that as
one of their attempts to contact people,” he
said.
The rescue mission did not provide hous-
ing placement services for encampment res-
idents, but provided resources prior to the
eviction and provided emergency shelter
when hotel vouchers ran out.
Others who ended up back on the streets
found refuge in small encampments on tres-
passed land, behind junkyards and even
hidden in underground utility pipes.
Cox was dismayed at the outcomes of the
Caltrans eviction and said more players, in-
cluding the county, needed to be involved
starting in March, when the first eviction
notice was posted. Emergency funding
should have been allocated by the Riverside
County Board of Supervisors to fund more
housing vouchers, he suggested. More reli-
THEY CALLED IT HOME
able caseworkers, who are in constant con-
tact with their clients, were needed as well,
he said.
“There’s what people said they did, which
was show up early, and then there’s what
people actually did, which was wait until the
last minute,” Cox said. “The outreach that
was needed by all wasn’t there.”
Path of Life Director Damien O’Farrell
said his organization was brought in too late,
though he was happy that several organiza-
tions worked together and shared resources
in ways they hadn’t before.
“I wish we could have had a little bit more
lead time,” O’Farrell said. “We had a lack of
clarity from DPSS and weren’t sure if we
were actually going to do it. Then it was right
on us very quickly at the end.”
O’Farrell said the Coachella Valley Asso-
ciation of Governments asked Path of Life to
start outreach six to eight weeks prior to the
eviction, but the county didn’t give Path of
Life the OK to bump encampment residents
up on the housing list until the week prior to
the eviction. The encampment residents
were given housing priority over people who
had already been on the list for months, even
years.
Victor Beecham, Path of Life caseworker,
said he was at the encampment two to three
times a week, two months prior to the evic-
tion, doing outreach and case management.
Many encampment residents told The Des-
ert Sun they never saw him or any casework-
ers; Beecham said encampment residents
weren’t receptive to his outreach until the
days of the actual eviction. Cox said the Res-
cue Mission, Path of Life, Martha’s Village
and Health to Hope started outreach in early
April.
‘They treat us like we aren’t human’
At about 2:15 p.m. on May 1 — eviction day
— the unforgiving desert heat continued to
rise while residents packed.
Riverside County officials announced
motel vouchers were available for anyone
with no alternative place to go. While the
eviction had loomed for two months, this
was the first time the vouchers were offered.
Of the 60 residents, 42 snagged rooms and
one couple learned they were matched im-
mediately to housing.
Those taking the vouchers had to be
ready to go by 3 p.m.
Anxiety was high.

The biggest challenge was finding enough
housing options in the valley, said Mack, the
county’s interim social-services agency di-
rector. Mack said even though the housing-
first model was designed to overlook past
wrongs such as criminal convictions, it was
still up to landlords to accept individuals.
“The gap is having sufficient housing
across the county and desert,” she said.
“Yes, we need more funding, but we need
more landlords, too. It does come down to
developing partnerships with landlords, and
it takes time to build those relationships.”
By the morning of May 29, the last day of
the motel stay, there still weren’t enough
housing options for everyone on the voucher
list. But the residents at the motel didn’t
know this; many were confused, agitated
and nervous. They had expected to have re-
ceived an update about their housing appli-
cations by that point.

At 8 a.m. that day, officials from Riverside
County, the rescue mission, Path of Life and
Step Up had an emergency meeting. Though
the motel cut-off date had loomed for 28
days, there were still three dozen people who
hadn’t been housed and a decision about
what to do next hadn’t been made until that
meeting.
The team decided to transport everyone
at the motels to the rescue mission and con-
duct immediate case evaluations. Everyone
would stay in the mission’s annex, separate
from other mission residents. They would
enjoy relaxed rules — there would be no cur-
few, and couples could stay together.
But that plan was not conveyed, and resi-
dents at the City Center Motel in Indio be-
came more worried and confused.
At the motel, Beecham, the Path of Life
caseworker, appeared moody and agitated.
There was a lot of work for just him and his
colleague to handle. He told the residents to
pack two bags of clothes, but they had to
leave anything else — there wasn’t enough
room at the mission.
Everyone had questions: “Why were they
going to the mission?” “Would they sleep
there?” “Could they come back for their be-
longings?” “Were animals allowed?” “Would
they be housed today?”
Beecham gave little explanation, but told
the residents to cooperate or he would drop
them from the housing list, a Desert Sun re-
porter witnessed. A few were dropped. Bee-
cham said some were dropped because they
threatened him, though Riale and Hensley
said they observed the caseworker act ag-
gressively, baiting people who were known
to have tempers. Beecham said he was in-
structed by the county to drop anyone who
wouldn’t leave the motel.
“It’s just chaos this morning,” Riale said.
“I have never been so stressed out in my life.”
Cox, the mission’s program director, said
that the end of the motel stay wasn’t han-
dled properly and that all agencies involved
shouldn’t have waited until the last minute.
A different model
Riale agreed and said she had hoped for a
different outcome.
“Why put us in hotels and spend that
money just to put us back out on the street?”
she fumed, as she shoved her clothes into a
bag. She stopped for a moment to pull up an
article on her phone from The Seattle Times.
She said other states are experimenting with
solutions to their homeless encampment
problems. Why wasn’t California, she asked.
In Seattle, the city experimented with
sanctioned encampments within neighbor-
hoods — some with strict rules and one with
no rules. In San Diego, a similar model was
tested when the city allowed a parking lot
where people could legally sleep in their
cars.
The idea in Seattle was to end the cycle of
encampments by allowing a sanctioned area
to be a stable bridge to permanent housing.
To some residents at the Coachella encamp-
ment, another displacement simply meant
finding new land to trespass.
In 2016, Caltrans spent near $500,000 to
evict an encampment from a property on the
other side of Highway 86 in Coachella. That
eviction pushed many members of that
community onto the piece of Caltrans land
at Dillon Road and Highway 86 that was
cleared in May.
That cyclical trend persists throughout
the state, too. Caltrans spent millions of tax-
payer money evicting the same encamp-
ments over and over, according to data that
details work their crews did between 2010
and 2018.

Puerta and her partner, who were placed

June, were given a second motel voucher as
bridge housing until their apartment was

demolition. Street Life Project stepped in to
provide Puerta with a bed.
Unlike Puerta, Riale and Hensley weren’t
offered another motel voucher and the mis-
sion was an unattractive option for them.
When they arrived at the mission, their four
dogs weren’t allowed inside and the housing
options they were shown during their last
week at the motel fell through. The day they
left the motel, after deciding the mission
wouldn’t work for them, the couple took
what they had and hitched a ride to a proper-
ty in Whitewater, just outside of Cabazon.
They squatted in remnants of a house
that had burned to the ground.
There were no walls or a roof, just a brick
chimney and no protection from the 110-de-
gree sun. Hundreds of book pages were
glued to the floor, others melted under roof
shingles, some floated up in the breeze.
Crushed brick laid in heaps.
But the couple loved looking up at the
night stars, and their dogs were happy to
have the freedom to run.
The nearest grocery store was about six
miles away, and they had no immediate ac-
cess to water. They previously made most of
their money recycling, but without a car,
that was no longer a viable option.
“Victor hasn’t called about our housing,”
Hensley said of the caseworker. “And at the
mission, we were just sitting outside under a
tree with our dogs.”
Riverside County officials said they could
not comment on specific housing cases,
though Mack said she was proud that the
county was able to reunite Riale and Hensley
with their dogs after animal control im-
pounded them after the initial Caltrans evic-
tion. Still, the couple and their dogs never
made it through the housing process.
“We were hoping we would get a home, so
we could get back on our feet,” Riale said in
June while squatting at the property in
Whitewater. “This isn’t a way to live. This is
surviving. We already had to kill two rattle-
snakes out here that came up close to where
we were sleeping. That’s not OK. And I’m so
dirty.”
A few weeks later, Riale’s mother helped
them get a car and they drove north to a city
near Sacramento, where Hensley’s mother
lived. They had heard the housing and job
options were promising. Hensley got a job
building pallets, but they slept in their car. In
the process of the move, some things
changed — two of their dogs died and Riale
and Hensley became engaged.
“Things were falling into place, we had a
job and were finding a place to live,” Riale
said.
But then Hensley was picked up on an
outstanding warrant and transported back
to Riverside County. He was charged with
felony vandalism and misdemeanor theft,
related to copper wire he stole in March. He
said he took the copper in desperation after
the initial eviction signs were posted at the
Coachella encampment. He didn’t know
what else to do, he said.
Over the past few months, Hensley has
been in and out of jail as he moved through
the court system. Riale made the drive back
to Riverside County in October to stay with
her mother in La Quinta. Hensley has a felo-
ny settlement hearing in early March.
While Hensley is focusing on making
money legally, Riale is focusing on not gam-
bling — things that proved to be pitfalls for
them before.
Recently, the two walked around the now-
vacant stretch of Caltrans land as they re-
flected back over their past year. The site
was barren, but purple verbena, a desert
wildflower, had started to peek through the
sand once again.

THEY CALLED IT HOME

SEVEN YEARS HOMELESS

The encampment
was razed, the
couple got help —
and a fresh start
Nicole Hayden Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK

It was like the first taste of snow, when

kids fall to their backs and look to the sky.
Innocent bodies spread wide and stretching.
Feeling the earth as they flap their arms and
legs. Snow angels, they’re called. They can’t
feel the cold through the joy.
Nora Ramos Soliz and David Rodriguez
spread their bodies on the floor, atop plush
cream carpet of the Indio apartment that
was now theirs. It was too good to be real.
They had to touch it. They had to lay their
bodies on the living room floor, then the bed-
room floor. She is 53 and he is 55, but their
hearts felt like children’s.
Soliz and Rodriguez are two of the 60 peo-
ple who were evicted from a Coachella en-
campment last May by the California De-
partment of Transportation. They were
homeless for seven years after both lost their
jobs. Terri Kasinga, Caltrans spokeswoman,
has said the eviction might have been the
push some people needed to start a new life.
At first, most people living at the encamp-
ment thought the offer of subsidized hous-
ing was a hoax. Soliz and Rodriguez were
skeptical, but they did as they were asked.
They were matched to the organization Step
Up for housing services, and had a devoted
caseworker.
The couple moved into their apartment in
June, but Soliz is still amazed it happened.
“(We asked), ‘do we really have a place?’
We ran around the apartment. We were free,
and we felt good and we were happy,” Soliz
said.
Of the 33 encampment residents who
were given housing placements, 12 received
rapid-rehousing placements and 21 received
permanent supportive housing placements.
Permanent supportive housing provides a
rental subsidy and caseworker support for
an indefinite amount of time while rapid re-
housing provides those things for a maxi-
mum of two years.
For Soliz and Rodriguez, the “system”
worked and statistics show the stability that
comes with permanent supportive housing
can be long term, too.
In the Bay Area’s Santa Clara County,
where officials have pushed heavily for per-
manent supportive housing, 90 percent of
people who were placed in permanent sup-
portive housing between 2011 and 2016 re-
mained in stable housing for at least one
year, according to the county’s 2017 report.
Soliz and Rodriquez received that same
model of support.
In the city of Berkeley, 82 percent of peo-
ple who exited a rapid-rehousing program
were stably housed when the subsidy end-
ed, according to the city’s 2018 report.
Soliz’s adult daughter, who also lived at
the encampment, received housing as well.
She and her husband were matched to the
Riverside County Department of Public So-
cial Services for housing services. They were
given a voucher for a trailer park in Sky Val-
ley. But Soliz says the accommodations are
not as nice as hers.
“No one fixes anything in the trailer park,”
Soliz said. “They don’t have a heater and
they have a newborn baby. The county was
their case manager, but (they) haven’t had
follow-up care from their caseworker and
haven’t been able to get in touch.”
While they worry about their daughter,
the couple is adjusting to their own life, one
lived with a lock and key. Their caseworker
laid out rules: “Do not even think about
Dumpster diving. The whole encampment
population can’t be invited to your apart-
ment. Don’t linger outside. No partying.”
They’ve made their own adjustments,
too.
In their prior home at the encampment,
Soliz and Rodriguez lived five feet below the
ground, where a pocket of the desert had
sunk in. They had a couch and recliner made
of clay. Their home was where their commu-
nity would gather for a dinner cooked over a
grill. Large wood beams held up a heavy
tarp, warding off the wind. The dirt floor was
lined with pieces of carpet they collected
from the trash bins of carpet stores nearby.
Whatever Soliz wanted, Rodriguez would
build for her.
“Nothing scared David, but I couldn’t
stand the scorpions and animals and snakes
and pincher bugs,” Soliz said. “I had phobia
in my sleep. That’s what we got the carpet
for.”
Soliz doesn’t have to worry about snakes
anymore. Their new home is filled with fur-
niture that was either donated to them by
the Street Life Project or given in exchange
for house-cleaning work that Soliz does. The
small living room is filled with an oversized
couch and chair, a large rear-projection tele-
vision, and a pile of children’s movies and
toys, ready for their grandchildren. Draw-
ings from their grandkids and Christmas
decorations filled the nooks and crannies of
the space. On an afternoon in mid-Decem-
ber, “Winter Wonderland” played softly in
the background.
Their housing voucher will provide indef-
inite rental assistance for the couple. As
their income increases, the subsidy will be
scaled back. Soliz currently does house-
cleaning work and Rodriguez picks up man-
ual labor jobs, such as painting homes. Rod-
riguez also painted the exterior of a client’s
home in exchange for a car. Both said they
are searching for more stable jobs in order to
be able to cover the cost of rent on their own.
Still, despite the warmth of the home,
they still can’t believe it’s real.
“I don’t think it’s really sunk in to us yet,”
Rodriguez said. “At night when we turn on
the TV, she turns it real low. I’m like, ‘Turn it
up, I can’t hear!’ We are getting used to the
fact that we aren’t a burden to anyone here.

apartment in June. They had to go through
months of background checks, credit
checks, eviction checks and numerous
questionnaires before being approved for a

said. “We were amazed that we passed.”

EVICTEE STUCK IN LIMBO
‘I feel like I slipped
through the cracks’
Nicole Hayden Palm Springs Desert Sun
USA TODAY NETWORK
The shack that Robert “Tennessee” Pruitte
now calls home straddles the line of two
properties in Coachella. He isn’t sure who
owns the 500-square-foot piece of land that
his makeshift home sits on, so he has tried to
remain invisible to passers-by. He doesn’t
want to be evicted, again.
Pruitte, whose nickname is an ode to his
home state and warm molasses drawl, found
out in December that his county-issued
voucher for a subsidized apartment had been
withdrawn. The woman who answered the
phone when he called the Riverside County
Community Connect housing line told him it
was because his housing caseworker
couldn’t reach him. He found that odd since
he hasn’t left the same one-square-mile sec-
tion of land in Coachella in the past 13 years.
At times, he said, he lost his phone or the bat-
tery died, but he still found ways to call and
check in.
Pruitte is one of the 60 people evicted from
a Coachella homeless encampment along
Highway 86 near Dillon Road in May. He’s
been on the housing list for nine months and
says he will continue to wait.
In the past year, the homeless population
in California has inched down by 1.2 percent
to 129,972 people, according to the 2018
Homeless Assessment Report to Congress in
December. But the number of unsheltered
homeless people in Riverside County has in-
creased by 16 percent since 2015, with a total
estimate of 1,685 people in 2018. All nine cit-
ies in the Coachella Valley have declared a
shelter crisis, seeking additional funding
from the state.
During the past summer — the season
when shelters struggle most to provide re-
sources as the high temperatures drive
homeless residents to seek help — Martha’s
Village and Kitchen in Indio reported its food
pantry shelves were bare in August. At the
same time, the Coachella Valley Rescue Mis-
sion was overcapacity at 327 people on one
day, when there’s only room there for 300
people.
In the cooler months, the rescue mission’s
capacity is around 100. In the summer, the
organization uses extra funds to open up the
gym to make room for more people, though it
can’t financially sustain that practice the
whole year. But in just the first five days of
2019, 250 people total had already asked for
shelter or assistance due to the cold weather,
according to Tom Cox, the mission’s program
director.
How did Pruitte become a statistic? He
said he just got used to this way of life and
grew numb to the longing for something
more. Lately, he has talked about the en-
campment displacement, and in quiet mo-
ments, he’ll tell how it all began.
A different kind of home
Pruitte, now 47, grew up in rural Oakdale,
Tenn., a community with a population hov-
ering in the 200s since the 1990s. The days
were slow, and the crickets loud. There were
28 people in his high school graduating class.
His family was close, and they lived by the

He traveled to San Francisco, San Jose,

Homeless desert and found Pruitte. Since then, they
have visited six times, including twice for
Thanksgiving.

picking up odd jobs, like working on a farm in
Thermal. But none of it has ever been enough
to amount to first month’s rent, security de-
posit and utility deposits.
At first, Pruitte thought the talk of housing
assistance was a joke, but then he started
seeing his friends placed in housing.
He started believing. He played along. But
the process was long.
In early May, he was evicted from the Coa-
chella encampment and given a pass to stay
at a motel in Indio as bridge housing and was
put on the list for permanent housing.
The month in the motel post-eviction was
a glimmering light for him. The shower. The
warm water. The soft towels. It showed him
how tired he was of sweeping sand off the
desert floor.
“I get butterflies thinking about it. I really
do,” he said. “Even the month in the motel.
That was different. It was nice. It showed me

yet. With no housing, he was told he could
stay at the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission.
In late June, Pruitte and his girlfriend were
given an apartment. But after three years to-
gether, the couple couldn’t overcome the
heavy weight of a recent miscarriage and the
tensions the encampment eviction had
caused. They broke up a few weeks after
moving into the apartment, and he was back
splitting his time between the mission and
the streets.
In late July, Pruitte sat on a bench outside
of the mission in the thick summer heat. His
eyes were heavy with sadness. His shoulders
slumped forward. His baseball hat cast a
shadow across his face and he looked to the
ground. His heart broke, again.
Pruitte was still assigned to Path of Life
and his caseworker told him they would start
looking for an apartment just for him.
He was shown three different apartments
in July and August and he said “yes” to all of
them. He was rejected from the first by the
landlord. The landlord on the second place
never called back. With the third option,
there were issues with the utilities and
Pruitte said his caseworker, Victor Beecham,
was wary of the property. They decided to
sign the lease anyway. But the landlord never
addressed the utilities and the lease fell
through.
Beecham said the rapid re-housing proc-
ess typically takes one to five months, but the
process can stretch longer than that if the cli-
ent has no income or bad credit.
Near the end of September, Pruitte was
shown an apartment in Palm Springs. Again,
he said “yes.”
The next day he lost his phone and didn’t
get a new one for five days. He immediately
called to check in but didn’t get through. He
left a message, but didn’t hear back.
Throughout the whole housing process,
Pruitte said he called his caseworker repeat-
edly, and frequently left messages and text
messages.
But after so many failed attempts, Pruitte
lost hope and didn’t think he was ever going
to find an apartment. He didn’t call back until
Nov. 6. At that time he was told Path of Life
had returned his case to Riverside County.
He wasn’t sure what that meant or whom
to call next. He waited for a phone call that
never came.
Riverside County officials declined to talk
about specific housing cases with The Desert
Sun, but said people with questions about
their case should call the county’s Communi-
ty Connect line at (800) 498-8847.
On Dec. 14, Pruitte called the phone num-
ber as he sat at a Del Taco in Indio. His voice
was quiet and polite, almost apologetic for
his bottomless need. He was put on hold.
Large tractor-trailers rattled by onto the ex-
pressway. A pickup pulled in to order three
tacos and a Coca-Cola.
The woman on the other end of the Com-
munity Connect line returned to the phone.
His face sunk as she said he lost his housing
voucher because his navigator couldn’t get in
touch with him during the five days he didn’t
have a phone. He said he would go weeks
with unanswered and unreturned phone
calls to his navigator. She reactivated his case
and told him he was reassigned to Beecham,
his original caseworker.
“What is wrong with Mr. Pruitte is that he
had a separation from another participant
and then declined several units,” Beecham
said, before declining to share any more spe-
cifics about Pruitte’s case.
Beecham, who typically is managing 20 to
25 housing cases at a time, said he only drops
housing cases if the client says “no” to three
different apartment options or verbally says
they no longer want assistance.
Pruitte said neither of those things oc-
curred.
Pruitte thanked the woman who re-acti-
vated his housing voucher, hung up the
phone and then immediately called his navi-
gator. Beecham texted back to say he was in a
meeting but would call soon. He did not call
back that day.
“I’ll be honest with you though, I just
about gave up on it,” Pruitte said. “I feel like I
slipped through the cracks. If I’m not going to
get housed, I wish they would just tell me so I
can move on.”
