The main thoroughfare

campaign signs for county

has put up 20 signs for
Englander’s rival, Kathryn

more to arrive.
In Lake Los Angeles, an

Lynda Maldonado, who
stopped at the hardware

for Arias’ grandson, said
that although both of them
sit on the Town Council, they
haven’t been following the
race.
They haven’t seen any
candidates coming out to
campaign in the rural outskirts of the Antelope Valley,
and they don’t remember
the last time the current supervisor came to a Town
Council meeting instead of
sending a field deputy.
“We’d like to see them
come out here and see how
we live,” Arias said.
With the primary election
just days away, no clear
front-runner has emerged in
the crowded race for the seat

Michael D. Antonovich. He is

Trump courting trouble
The candidate’s attack
on a Latino judge and
other racial comments
pose major risks for
the Republican Party.
By Michael Finnegan
Defying critics across the
political spectrum, Donald
Trump insisted that the ethnicity of a Latino judge
should disqualify him from
presiding over a fraud lawsuit against the business
mogul and suggested that
no Muslim could oversee the
case either.
Trump told CBS News
that U.S. District Judge
Gonzalo Curiel was “a member of a club or society very
strongly pro-Mexican” and
thus could not be impartial
with a presidential candidate proposing a border
wall.
“If it were a Muslim judge,
would you also feel like they
wouldn’t be able to treat you
fairly because of that policy
of yours?” news anchor John
Dickerson asked Trump in a

The most raucous and
extended California primary
battle in decades comes to a
close Tuesday with two
Democrats demonstrating
both a threatening schism in
their party and wildly different styles from which voters
will choose.
Bernie Sanders gallivanted around California
like a tourist on a weeks-long
trip, sampling In-N-Out,
popping into a neighborhood in Echo Park — albeit
with a Golden State Warriors cap on his head in defiance of local preference —
and strolling on the Santa
Monica Pier.
He staged the big rallies
that have been the hallmark
of his insurgent candidacy,
but also adopted an increasingly caustic tone as he
fought against predictions
of his imminent demise.
Hillary Clinton blitzed

did, but as if California represented not the land of 475
delegates but a sought-after

entering the United States.
“Yeah, that would be possible, absolutely.”
Even for a man who
launched his candidacy by
accusing Mexico of sending
rapists and drug dealers
across the border, Trump’s
recent
remarks
about
Latinos and Muslims were
extraordinary,
sparking
fresh accusations of bigotry.
His comments came after months of violent and racially charged clashes at his
rallies between his overwhelmingly
white
supporters and protesters,
many of them Latino or
African American. Riot police are routinely deployed
outside Trump’s events to
keep the two sides apart, a
sign of potential trouble at
next month’s Republican
National Convention in
Cleveland.
Aside from the social implications in a nation with a
wrenching history of racial
strife, Trump’s escalating
attacks on the judge have
unsettled top Republicans
who are fretting over the
party’s fate in November.

Okinawa near tipping point
A killing fuels protests
against U.S. bases, but
some islanders still
yearn for unity.
By Julie Makinen
OKINAWA, Japan —
Leah Siangco, a 34-year-old
California native, and her
husband, a pastor, put out a
call recently to members of
their congregation, Neigh-
borhood Church Okinawa.
Join us, they said, for a silent
memorial along Route 58, a
busy thoroughfare on the
southern Japanese island
where tens of thousands of
American troops are based.
The couple felt moved to
action by their faith, they
said, disturbed by news that
a former U.S. Marineturned-civilian contractor
had been arrested by Japanese police and acknowledged abducting and killing
a 20-year-old local woman.
So they prepared some
posters at the church office,
with simple messages in
English and Japanese like
“We mourn with Okinawa,”
alongside a heart formed by
the U.S. and Okinawan flags.
The idea was to stand by the
road with the signs, heads
bowed in prayer, to express
their grief and solidarity
with the local community.
Almost anywhere else,
such a gathering would be
considered a kind and
natural — even routine —
neighborly gesture after a
brutal and senseless crime.
But until they walked out to
the highway, the Siangcos
felt extremely anxious about
how they’d be received. “I
was super nervous,” said
Leah Siangco, who hails
from the city of Orange. “Almost sick to my stomach.”
Because Okinawa is not
just anywhere. A diminutive
tropical island paradise ravaged in the final months of
World War II, Okinawa has
long been a nexus for U.S.Japanese cooperation —
and conflict.

As a new law goes into effect in California allowing
terminally ill patients to
take medicines to kill themselves, physicians are contemplating whether they
would ever write a prescription for death.
For Dr. Neil Wenger, an
internal medicine doctor
and director of the UCLA
Health Ethics Center, physician-assisted dying blurs
what had once been a clear
distinction for physicians.
“We have always, up till
now, been able to say we will

Wenger said. “Suddenly,
that bright line is not so
bright.”
He added that the Hippocratic Oath doesn’t just
say that doctors shouldn’t
harm patients but specifically forbids providing
poison to kill someone.

To the world, Muhammad Ali was the brash and
buoyant heavyweight
fighter bestowed with many
monikers: the floating butterfly, the Louisville Lip, the
Greatest.
To Maryum Ali, the
eldest of the boxer’s nine
children, he was “all of the
above,” she said. But he was
also a teacher, a spiritual
guide. Above all, he was
Dad.
Ali, 47, the daughter of
the fighter’s second wife,
Khalilah Ali, was very close
to her father. She regularly
drove from her home in Los
Angeles to visit him at his
home in Arizona, she said.
Ali, affectionately known
as May May, has worked as a
standup comedian, a rapper
and is executive director of a
nonprofit that focuses on
gang prevention and youth
development. She was at
her father’s bedside along
with other family members
when he died Friday at a
Phoenix hospital, where he
had been moved because of
a respiratory illness.
Muhammad Ali, diagnosed
with Parkinson’s disease
more than 30 years ago, was
74.
On Sunday, Maryum Ali
shared memories of her
father with The Times. She
often referred to him in the
present tense, because “his
energy is present,” she said.
“It will always be around.”
What is your fondest childhood memory of your father? What was he like as a
dad?
There are a lot of fond
memories. It’s very hard to
say what the fondest moment is, but I would say the
most special for me were the
spiritual moments, when we
made prayer together and
when we worshiped and
went to our Islamic services
together and we talked
about faith and the hereafter and God. Those really
are the best moments for
me. Those are the moments
that built my foundation as
a person, because I knew
those were the moments
that were very real. They
were purposeful. And those
were the moments I knew
would give me strength and
allow me to become the
woman that I am. And I
knew that as a young person. I was an old soul. I loved
those kinds of conversations about our spirit and
about our purpose in life.
For me, those were the best
moments with my dad.
How would you characterize your father?
He was Dad, but he was
all the other things that
people know him for too to
us. We are very cognizant of
who he was. We knew he was
the activist, the athlete, the
MUHAMMAD ALI and baby Maryum in an undated photo. “The beauty of him is
that he made time and made it a priority to be a good father,” Maryum Ali said.
spiritual leader, the humanitarian.
My father has many
sides, like most people do.
My father is a gregarious
person. He’s upbeat. He has
a positive, optimistic outlook on life. He’s a generous
person and loving. He simply loves people. So when
people came to visit him in
his hotel suite or came up to
him on the street, he would
look them dead in the eye
and [say], “What’s your
name? How ya doing?” He
loved the energy of people.
Everyone who talked to
him or dealt with him in
some way, shape, form or
fashion remembers the
human qualities of him.
They called him the
people’s champ. That what
makes him so beloved. My
father really was a ball of
love. He really exuded that
love to even a stranger. He
didn’t treat that stranger as
inferior. I am just so happy
that I was able to experience
that quality as a girl looking
up and seeing him interact
with people.
What did he teach you?
The beauty of him is that
he made time and made it a
priority to be a good father.
So the time he had with us,
he was really trying to build
up our character. I’m the
woman that I am today
because of him. I really
listened to his lessons: how
to be a respectful woman;
how not to let men chip
away at your esteem; how
not to get involved in the
dark side of society, in bad
habits; stay healthy, watch
who your friends are.
And what’s most important for me is that I love my
religion of Islam. I stand up
for being a Muslim, with all
the craziness going on, all
the negativity in this country about who Muslims are.
I am proud to be a Muslim
and unapologetic because of
my father. He was going to
give up his boxing profession for his faith. That was a
beautiful example to have
guided me.
What do you think about
boxing, and did you ever
attend any of your father’s
bouts?
I admired my dad as a
boxer. I admired his skill. I
admired the way in which he
promoted his fights, his
discipline and dedication. I
was able to witness that. I
did go to fights. I remember
going to the Kenny Norton
fight at Madison Square
Garden [1973] where [Dad]
got his jaw broken. I remember going to the fight with
Jerry Quarry [1970] and to
his last fight with Trevor
Berbick [in 1981] and to the
second Leon Spinks fight in
Louisiana [1978]. So I was a
fight fan.
Were you ever worried
about him fighting because
of the threat of Parkinson’s?
Fighting alone doesn’t
cause Parkinson’s. You can’t
prove that that’s the cause
because a lot of boxers don’t
have Parkinson’s. I believe it
might have been a combination of head trauma from
boxing and pesticides. He
was exposed to a lot of pesticides at the Deer Lake [Pa.]
training camp. My theory is
that [his Parkinson’s]
started with the pesticides
and it possibly could have
been drawn out by the head
trauma. That’s not a definite proven cause. You can
only theorize.
Were there ever any regrets on your part or the
part of your siblings that
boxing could have caused
your father to be afflicted
by Parkinson’s?
No, there are no regrets.
He wouldn’t have been
Muhammad Ali if there
were any changes to his
history. No changes to his
history should be made. He
is getting the coverage that
he’s getting and he is beloved the way he is because of
the trajectory of his life and
what happened in his life. So
we wouldn’t change anything about his life.
How do you think he would
like to be remembered?
I really think he just
wanted to be seen as a human being who loved humanity, who wanted to fight
for humanity, for all people.
When you look at religious
wars, when you look at
racial tensions, all of that is
divisiveness. And it comes
in many shapes and forms:
the pretty, the ugly, the
black, the white. My father,
through the essence of what
he was, thought there
should be no divisions, that
this is wrong, that this is not
what God wants. God made
all of us beautiful in his
image. Outside of the ring,
that’s what he was about.
And that’s how he wants to
be remembered. A man who
used his celebrity, who used
his God-given talent, to
propagate the idea that we
should not be divided as the
human race in any way,
shape or form. To me that’s
the essence of him.
What was your last memorable exchange with your
father?
We celebrated his 74th
birthday on Jan. 17. My
sister Rasheda put together
a family pictorial slide show
of the grandkids and the
kids and we were just having
fun. That’s such a blessing
that his last big family gathering was with everybody at
his house. We were just
celebrating his birthday,
celebrating his life.

THE WORLD
Syrians, Kurds in race for Raqqah
The Russian-backed
army and a U.S.supported militia both
see Islamic State’s
base as a big prize.
By Nabih Bulos
AMMAN,
Jordan
—
When it was first overrun by
the rebels in 2013, the eastern
Syrian city of Raqqah became the symbol of the revolution against the rule of
Syrian President Bashar
Assad. Nine months later, it
emerged as the de facto
capital of Islamic State, the
springboard from which the
militant group would launch
its
self-proclaimed
caliphate.
Now it has become the
central prize in a race between the Russian-backed
Syrian government and a
U.S.-supported
Syrian
Kurdish-dominated militia
known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF. Both
sides — with the support of
their international backers
in the U.S. and Russia — are
vying for the legitimacy that
comes with destroying Islamic State.
For the SDF, it could
make Raqqah another addition to its presumptive
Kurdish state on Syrian soil.
A Syrian army victory, on the
other hand, would force
Western powers to rethink
the pariah status of Syrian
President Bashar Assad’s
government.
The two Raqqah offensives, running in parallel and
backed by competing international players, represent
the often contradictory
intersections of loyalties
that have arisen during the
five-year Syrian crisis, which
has ravaged the country,
killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions.
Islamic State first seized
control of Raqqah in January 2014, routing other rebel
groups with which it had
once shared the city. Its
power consolidated, the
group made the city into a
byword for the reign of terror
it has imposed on those who
have fallen into its hands.
Severed heads appear with
gruesome regularity on the
fences of the city’s once vibrant central squares. Lashings and amputations have
become the punishment for
violations of the jihadists’
strict version of Islamic law.
Minorities have been reported to have either fled or,
if their religion was deemed
acceptable by Islamic State,
remained after paying exorbitant “protection” taxes.
Syrian
army
units
pressed their offensive Sunday on the Islamic Stateheld province of Raqqah, officials and a monitoring
group said, in a bid to retake
the provincial capital of the
same name. Syrian pro-government
reporters
uploaded videos and pictures
on social media purporting
to show the Desert Eagles, a
special forces division of the
Syrian army, securing control of areas east of Ithriyah,
a
government-controlled
town about 80 miles southwest of Raqqah city, after
what were said to be “crushing battles” with Islamic
State fighters.
A journalist traveling
with the Desert Eagles,
Eyad al-Hosain, reported on
Sunday that the troops had
advanced 28 miles on the
strategic highway connecting Ithriyah to Raqqah since
the operation’s beginning.
He also posted a picture of a
crudely armored pickup
truck laden with what was
said to be at least 10 explosive canisters.
The official Syrian Arab
News Agency said that the
operation, which had begun
Friday, was “proceeding successfully.”
The SDF, an umbrella
group made up of several
thousand Syrian Kurdish
and Arab fighters, also has
Raqqah in its sights. Two
weeks ago, the militia
stormed through a number
of Islamic State-held villages and towns to get within
30 miles of the embattled
city.
It has the warplanes of
the U.S.-led coalition providing air support, and special
forces operators are embedded with the group’s Kurdish fighters on the ground.
With the threat of SDF
coming in from the north
and the army approaching
from the southwest, families
of Islamic State fighters had
already begun moving to
safer areas of the city, according to the Syrian Observatory
for
Human
Rights, a pro-opposition
monitoring group with a network of activists on the
ground.
On the Syrian government’s
side,
Russian
airstrikes proved instrumental in the army’s latest
advance into Raqqah, and
Russian advisors and commandos have provided logistical assistance to ground
troops. Russia has been a vi-
tal ally in Assad’s fight to
push back rebel forces. Russian warplanes have deployed to the country since
September, and Russian
advisors and special forces
units have also provided
training and support to
Syrian
pro-government
forces.
According to the observatory, the government is
attempting to reach the Euphrates River where it could
cut off the highway connecting Raqqah to Aleppo province, as well as seize control
of the nearby air base of
Tabqa.
Located 27 miles west of
Raqqah, Tabqa was taken
by Islamic State in August
2014 after an 18-day offensive
that culminated in the
Syrian army’s retreat. Hundreds of soldiers were captured
and
eventually
massacred by the extremist
group. It is also home to the
Tabqa Dam, Syria’s largest,
which provides both water
and electricity for many
areas in northern parts of
the country.
The campaign comes on
the heels of others on Islamic State territories: To the
east, across the border in
neighboring Iraq, government forces backed by the
U.S.-led coalition are poised
to rout the group from Fallouja. To the west, the SDF is
closing in on Manbij, an Is-
lamic State-held “pocket”
that serves as a supply route
between Turkey and Syria.
Yet both attacking forces
have little in common beyond a shared enmity
against Islamic State. Many
on the government side suspect that the Kurds intend
to annex Raqqah.
The international overseers of the campaigns are
also at odds with each other:
The U.S. has been reluctant
to offer even indirect support to any attack that
works in the interest of the
Syrian government, while
the Russians insist that the
Syrian army is the only force
capable of removing Islamic
State from Syria. A Syrian
army victory in Raqqah is
also seen as an important
step toward reasserting
Assad’s rule over the country.
“The operation is a large
stake in the heart of those
who are after secessionist
projects,” said Al-Hosain,
the pro-government journalist, in a Facebook post
marking the start of the
army’s campaign, making a
veiled reference to Kurdish
calls for a self-governing canton.
“It is the final answer to
the argument” on dividing
Syria, he said.

2 more stabbing victims in Bangladesh

DHAKA, Bangladesh —
Islamic State claimed responsibility Sunday for the
killing of a Christian grocer
in northwestern Bangladesh. Earlier in the day, the
wife of a top anti-terrorism
police official was also killed.
Sunil Gomes, 65, was
stabbed to death at his store
in the village of Bonpara, local police superintendent
Shafiqul Islam told Agence
France-Presse.
Family
members found him lying in
a pool of blood. The attack
took place close to one of the
predominantly Sunni Muslim country’s oldest Christian neighborhoods.
Hours later, the U.S.based SITE Intelligence
Group reported that Islamic
State had claimed responsibility for Gomes’ slaying via
its Amaq News Agency.
Also Sunday, the wife of a
top anti-terrorism police official was stabbed and shot
to death in the port city of
Chittagong. Although no
group has yet claimed responsibility for her death,
authorities suspect Islamist
militants may be involved.

Violence reported as Mexicans vote
By Patrick J.
McDonnell
MEXICO CITY — There
were reports of scattered,
election-related
violence
Sunday as Mexicans went to
the polls to elect new governors in 12 states.
The voting, in states that
are home to almost onethird of the nation’s population, was widely regarded as
providing a preview of presidential elections slated for
2018.
Exit polls released after
voting booths began closing
indicated close races in a
number of heavily contested
states, including the violence-ridden gulf states of
Veracruz and Tamaulipas,
the latter on the border with
Texas.
Both are historically bastions of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party,
or PRI.
Mexican media reported
that some vehicles were
burned and gasoline bombs
thrown in Veracruz, but no
injuries were reported. A
driver for an opposition lawmaker was reported kidnapped.
But Mexican election authorities said the voting had
largely proceeded in a peaceful fashion.
Leaders of the PRI and
its chief rival, the National
Action Party, or PAN, both
Marco Ugarte Associated Press
LORENZO CORDOVA heads the electoral institute
in Mexico, where 12 states elected new governors.
declared the elections a success, even before most official results were released.
Early exit polls seem to indicate that the PRI had won
most of the gubernatorial
seats up for grabs.
Manlio Fabio Beltrones,
president of the PRI, told
reporters that his party was
leading in nine states,
though he did not name
them. The PRI currently
governs in nine of the 12
states where governors were
being elected.
A coalition of convenience between the PAN and
the left-wing Democratic
Revolution Party currently
holds the governor’s seat in
the other three states. The
opposition alliance was hoping to chip away at the ruling
party’s dominance.
Both the PRI and PAN
appeared to be claiming victory in gubernatorial races
in the closely watched states
of Veracruz and Tamaulipas. But exit polls showed
tight races in both states.
In Tamaulipas, both Baltazar Hinojosa of the PRI
and Francisco Javier Garcia
Cabeza de Vaca of the
PAN-led opposition coalition said they had triumphed. Exit polls show the
race too close to call. It fea-
tured accusations from both
camps that the other side’s
candidate had links to drug
trafficking mafias.
In Veracruz, where a pair
of cousins vied for the governor’s seat, both Miguel Angel Yunes Linares of the
PAN-led coalition and Hector Yunes Landa of the PRI
claimed victory. The Veracruz race played out against
public accusations of corruption, pedophilia and secret deals.
The president of the
PAN, Ricardo Anaya, said
victories Sunday in several
states put the party in a
strong position to recapture
the presidency in 2018.
Enrique Peña Nieto, a
member of the PRI, was
elected to lead Mexico in
2012, ending 12 years of PAN
control of the presidency.
Peña Nieto, who is more
than halfway through his
six-year term, has seen his
approval ratings slide because of a sluggish economy
and residents’ worries about
crime and corruption, polls
indicate.
A strong PRI showing
Sunday would put the ruling
party in a good position to
retain the presidency in 2018,
analysts say.

On April 30, Nikhil Joardar, a Hindu tailor, was
dragged out of his shop in
central Bangladesh and
killed with machetes in another attack claimed by Islamic State. Police suspect
he may have been targeted
because he was accused of
making derogatory comments about the prophet
Muhammad.

WORLD BRIEFING
IRAN
U.S. report
on terrorism
called ‘false’
Iran rejected an annual
U.S. State Department report that calls Tehran the
world’s leading sponsor of
terrorism.
State television quoted
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari
as saying the report is “false”
and further evidence of the
“lack of credibility of reports
by the U.S. State Department.”
As in many previous
years, the report identifies
Iran as the world’s “foremost
state sponsor of terrorism in
2015” through its financing,
training and equipping of
various
armed
groups,
notably Lebanon’s Hezbollah, as well as the government of Syrian President
Bashar Assad.
Shiite Muslim-majority
Iran is helping Iraqi and
Syrian forces battle Islamic
State, a Sunni extremist
group, but Tehran has defended its support for Palestinian militant groups,
saying they have the right to
resist Israel’s occupation.
Ansari said that the
United States provides “unconditional” support for Israel as it deprives the
Palestinians of basic rights
and that Washington ignores the role of allies such
as Saudi Arabia in supporting extremist groups.
SOMALIA
Radio journalist
slain in capital
Unidentified
gunmen
shot dead a journalist in Somalia’s capital, a radio producer at state-run Radio
Mogadishu said.
Sagal Salad Osman, a
producer for the station, was
shot outside a university in
west Mogadishu; she died
later at a hospital in the city,
Mustafa Hussein said.
Attacks on journalists
are common in war-ravaged
Somalia and media rights
groups say both Islamic extremists and the government have reason to target
media.
Osman is the first journalist killed in Somalia this
year. Since 1992, when civil
war broke out in the country,
59 journalists have been
killed.
It’s unclear who is responsible. Shabab rebels
and even the government
could have reasons.
FRANCE
Paris recovering
from flooding
The riverside Grand
Palais exhibition hall in Paris reopened as floodwaters
slowly receded from the
French capital, after the
worst floods in three
decades caused the Seine
River to burst its banks.
Other regions remained
at risk, notably parts of Normandy, as digging out began
in villages and towns around
the French capital.
The Louvre Museum,
several Paris train stations
and roads remained closed.
Quayside restaurants along
the Seine were still engulfed
in water and tourist boats
were unable to pass under
bridges.

AUSTRALIA
Another fatal
shark attack
A diver has been killed by
a large shark off the west
coast in Australia’s second
fatal attack in less than a
week.
Western Australia state
police say the woman, 60,
was diving with a man at a
spot in the north Perth suburb of Mindarie when the
shark attacked.
Police said the woman’s
dive partner managed to
pull her out of the water after
she was attacked but her injuries proved fatal.
On Tuesday, a surfer’s leg
was bitten off by a shark
about 60 miles to the south.
He later died of his injuries.
THE PHILIPPINES
A call to arms by
president-elect
The president-elect of
the Philippines has encouraged the public to help him
in his war against crime, urging citizens with guns to
shoot and kill drug dealers
who resist arrest and fight
back in their neighborhoods.
In a nationally televised
speech late Saturday, Rodrigo Duterte told a huge
crowd in the southern city of
Davao that Filipinos who
help him battle crime will be
rewarded.
“Please feel free to call us,
the police, or do it yourself if
you have the gun — you have
my support,” Duterte said.

PROTESTERS sit near the Marines’ Camp Schwab on Okinawa. “Before, people didn’t think we should close
all the bases. But after this incident, people are afraid, and really angry,” one activist said of a woman’s slaying.
‘After 70 years, we are
all family’ on Okinawa
[Okinawa, from A1]
After Japan’s surrender,
Okinawa found itself transformed into one of the most
extensive overseas U.S. military installations in the
world. In 1972, Washington
handed administrative control to Tokyo, but the islands
have continued to host a
vast network of bases used
by the U.S. Army, Air Force,
Navy and Marines as well as
Japan’s Self-Defense Forces.
Over the last seven
decades, Americans and
Okinawans have worked together, worshiped together
and wed one another, forging a codependent community even as politics have cycled through episodes of
confrontation and collaboration.
But anti-base sentiment
has been festering in recent
years, fed by concerns over
the environment, economy
and crime, among other issues. In the aftermath of the
homicide, many here are
wondering whether the situation has reached a tipping
point.
“We are at a new low,” said
Robert D. Eldridge, an
American scholar who has
researched Okinawa extensively and served as a senior
public affairs official for the
Marines from 2009 to 2015.
“In a nutshell, it’s unsustainable here ... operationally,
strategically, fiscally and politically.”
The case has put Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe, a proponent of strengthening defense ties with Washington
as China’s military flexes its
muscles, in a tight spot.
U.S. officials have scram-
bled to try to contain the
damage, with President
Obama and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter offering
apologies and Marine Lt.
Gen. Lawrence Nicholson,
the top commander in Okinawa, announcing a monthlong mourning period, a
temporary curfew and restrictions on drinking.
Okinawa
politicians,
though, are not satisfied,
passing a resolution calling
for Marines to withdraw
completely from the island
prefecture. Anti-base activists, meanwhile, have
stepped up pressure on Abe
to cut what they say is
Okinawa’s disproportionate
burden for hosting U.S.
troops in Japan. They are
trying to organize a rally on
June 19.
But
many
ordinary
islanders — Americans and
Okinawans — say the increasing polarization is in
neither side’s interest. The
swirl of events has left them
wrung out, suspended in a
matrix of frustration, sadness and uncertainty.
Christian Siangco, the
pastor, said he fielded
numerous phone calls warning him that his plans for a
silent memorial could be
construed as being antibase, and suggesting it
might be better to lie low.
“But I had just been
preaching on standing firm
in one’s faith,” said Siangco,
a retired Navy chief petty officer. “Someone needs to
stand up for hope.”

ished in late April while out
for an evening walk. It took
three weeks for police to find
the young woman’s corpse,
dumped along a bend in a
wooded area in the village of
Onna.
Authorities found the
body after questioning Kenneth Shinzato, a 32-year-old
ex-Marine who was working
as a computer and electrical
contractor at Kadena Air
Base.
Security
camera
recordings showed his car
near
the
site
where
Shimabukuro disappeared.
Local media reports say she
was sexually assaulted.
The case has sparked incredulity not least because
Shinzato, a civilian employee born Kenneth Franklin
Gadson, seemed to personify the close relations in Okinawa between Americans
and Japanese. Married to a
local woman and the father
of a newborn, he had taken
his wife’s last name and lived
off-base.
The case immediately
dredged up memories of a
litany of crimes committed
by U.S. servicemen in recent
decades, from the rape of a
12-year-old girl by three
Americans in 1995, to robberies and a March incident
in which a U.S. Marine
pleaded guilty to raping a
woman he found asleep in
the corridor of his hotel. This
past weekend, a 21-year-old
Navy petty officer second
class was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after
crashing her car into two vehicles while traveling the
wrong way on Route 58.
Though Shinzato was no
longer a member of the military, that distinction matters
little
to
many
Okinawans. “He works on
the base. Before, he was a
Marine,” said Hiroji Yamashiro, 63, an activist who
has spent 700 days protesting plans to expand the
Marines’ Camp Schwab in
the village of Henoko to allow the closure of Futenma
Air Base, situated smack in
the middle of Ginowan City.
“It’s the same force.”
“Before, people didn’t
think we should close all the
bases,” Yamashiro added,
sitting in a sweltering tent
encampment across from
Camp Schwab. “But after
this incident, people are
afraid, and really angry.”
On weekends, Yamashiro
flies to one of Japan’s main
islands
and
delivers
speeches anywhere he can —
at train stations, or conference halls — discussing what
he sees as the onerous U.S.
military presence in Okinawa. He has nothing but
disdain for Abe, who has
fought for the expansion of
Camp Schwab and modifications to Japan’s postwar
pacifist constitution. “I
think Abe wants to start a
war with China,” he said.
::
Eisaku Yara, now in his
sixth term as a Naha City assemblyman, said it would be
dangerous for all U.S. troops
to be suddenly booted from
Okinawa. Though anti-base
forces have found an energetic advocate in the current
governor, Takeshi Onaga,
Yara believes “not even half ”
of Okinawans want all
Americans gone.
“Personally, I’d be sad if
they all left,” said Yara, who
thinks a gradual reduction is
the most prudent approach.
“After 70 years, we are all
family here.”
But Yara said more needs
to be done to deepen
understanding
between
Americans and Okinawans.
Even as a local assemblyman, he said, he has scant
substantive contact with
U.S. military officials. Some
come to the city’s annual
holiday party, but there’s little follow-up after business
cards are exchanged.
“As a junior high school
kid, I remember doing a
weekend home stay on one
of the U.S. bases. I stayed
with a black serviceman, his
wife and two kids,” recalled
Yara. “It was a chance to experience American culture,
which I only knew from TV
and movies.”
More such programs are
sorely needed, he said. And
Okinawans, he added, could
do more to introduce
Americans to Japanese culture and language.
Eldridge agreed. More
needs to be done, he said, to
publicize the good things
Okinawa-based troops do —
from
volunteering
to
disaster-relief missions after
earthquakes, typhoons and
tsunamis.
“If you get the community relations right, the politics
fall in place,” he said.
Particularly unsettling to
many locals are provisions of
the Status of Forces Agreement that can shield U.S.
service members, civilian
employees and some contractors from prosecution in
Japan if, for example, they
are on duty when an alleged
crime is committed, or if
they hightail it back to base
after breaking the law.
Shinzato’s case shows
that base workers, to some
extent, are indeed subject to
the Japanese justice system.
But Ryota Shimabukuro, a
reporter who covers the U.S.
military for the local newspaper Ryukyu Shimpo, said
Okinawans increasingly believe that any exemptions at
all may encourage service
members to engage in riskier
behaviors. “This creates a
situation of moral hazard.”
::
Back on Route 58, the
silent memorial organized
by Neighborhood Church
Okinawa went ahead despite the Siangcos’ trepidation. The response, they
said, made them feel all was
not lost.
“People, not even church
members, stopped their
cars, parked and joined us,”
said Sylvia Runyon, a 39year-old photographer who
was previously in the military. Local people pulled
over to offer water and tea,
and some motorists were
even moved to tears. “It was
overwhelming,” she said.
Pictures of the event
went viral. Church members
are now trying to think of
ways to capitalize on their
momentum. They are considering selling stickers with
their heart logo and donating the proceeds to the victim’s family.
“There is a need to create
a dialogue, to bring unity,”
said Christian Siangco.
“That is where God is challenging us.”

Clinton wins Puerto Rico primary
She adds to her
delegate count, and
will almost certainly
gain the Democratic
nomination Tuesday.
By Chris Megerian
Hillary Clinton won the
Democratic primary Sunday in Puerto Rico, putting
her on the verge of effectively
locking up the Democratic
presidential nomination.
With most of the 60 delegates up for grabs in Puerto
Rico allocated, Clinton is
now fewer than 30 delegates
short of a majority, according to the count by the Associated Press. She will almost
certainly cross that threshold early Tuesday evening
on a day when six states, including California, will vote
with more than 600 delegates at stake.
Though the race remains
tight in California, Clinton is
likely to win more than
enough delegates in New
Jersey to put her over the
top.
Clinton’s total includes
pledged
delegates
and
superdelegates, who are
party leaders and elected officials who can decide which
candidate to support at the
Democratic National Convention in July.
She is beating Sen.
Bernie Sanders of Vermont,
her rival for the nomination,
in both categories. She also
has won more states, and
about 3 million more votes,
than Sanders.
Clinton won all seven
pledged delegates at stake
Saturday in the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
The final primary is June
14 in Washington, D.C.
Sanders argues that
Clinton should not claim victory Tuesday because her
Carlos Giusti Associated Press
A VOTER is given a ballot in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sunday. There were 60 delegates up for grabs in Puerto Rico’s Democratic primary.
On Tuesday, six states, including California, will hold primary contests, with more than 600 delegates at stake.
delegate tally includes most
of the party’s superdelegates, who still can switch
sides. Few have signaled any
plans to do so, however.
Sanders has vowed to
take his campaign to the
convention in Philadelphia
even if he loses upcoming
contests.
“The Democratic National Convention will be a
contested convention,” he
told a Los Angeles news conference Saturday.
A candidate typically is
considered the presumptive
nominee after locking up
enough pledged delegates
and superdelegates to win
the nomination.
President Obama did
that in 2008 when he and
Clinton fought their way
through the primaries. She
later campaigned for him
and joined his Cabinet as
secretary of State.
Barring mathematically
improbable landslide victories in Tuesday’s primaries,
Sanders will still trail Clinton in pledged delegates.
That means his only path
to the nomination would require superdelegates —
members of a Democratic
establishment that has
heavily favored Clinton from
the start of the campaign —
switching their allegiance to
Sanders and overturning
the popular vote.
Even as his chances con-
tinue to slip away, Sanders
continued to attack Clinton.
Sanders told CNN’s Jake
Tapper that Clinton has
been too quick to support
the use of military force, saying her 2003 vote to authorize force in Iraq when she
was in the U.S. Senate “was
not just an aberration.”
He cited Clinton’s push
for intervention in Libya in
2011, and a no-fly zone in Syria as examples that “can
suck us into never-ending
conflict in that area.”
Sanders also said Clinton
has a conflict of interest with
the Clinton Foundation,
which was set up by her husband, former President Bill
Clinton. The foundation col-
lected donations from foreign governments like Saudi
Arabia while she was secretary of State under Obama.
“Do I have a problem with
that?” Sanders said. “Yeah, I
do.”
Clinton and Sanders
have campaigned heavily in
California,
the
biggest
delegate prize of the season.
Polls show a tight race.
With the nomination in
sight, Clinton has kept her
focus on a general election
battle with Donald Trump,
the presumptive Republican nominee.
“What I want to talk
about is what we have to do
together when the voting is
done,” she said in Oakland
on Sunday. “After the votes
are counted, that’s when the
real work starts.”
Clinton has been tagteaming with her husband,
who attacked T rump’s campaign slogan — “make
America great again” —
while visiting a black church
in South Los Angeles on
Sunday.
“That’s a code slogan for,
‘We’re going to make it great
the way it was 40 or 50 years
ago,’” Bill Clinton said. “Well
it wasn’t so great for a lot of
people 40 or 50 years ago,” he
added, drawing applause
from the pews.

Biggest trial
in Freddie
Gray case
Baltimore prosecutors
will try to convict
a police van driver
of murder after two
unfavorable verdicts.
associated press
BALTIMORE — The
stakes are high in the coming trial for an officer who
prosecutors say bears the
most responsibility for the
death of Freddie Gray, a
young black man whose
spine was snapped in the
back of a police transport
wagon.
The van driver, Officer
Caesar Goodson Jr., faces
second-degree murder and
other charges. He will also
face buck-passing from fellow officers who have testified in two previous trials
that if anyone was responsible for ensuring Gray’s safety, it was him.
The officer faces 30 years
in prison if he’s convicted of
the murder charge. If prosecutors fail to secure a guilty
verdict, it will be the third
straight trial in which they
haven’t gotten a favorable
decision: The first trial
ended in a hung jury and the
second finished with an acquittal last month.
Prosecutors say Goodson was grossly negligent
when he failed to buckle
Gray into a seat belt and call
for medical aid during
Gray’s 45-minute ride in
the back of Goodson’s van
on April 12, 2015. But with little physical evidence, experts say, the government
could be facing an uphill battle.
“It would be devastating
for the state to lose Goodson’s trial because there’s no
question that the ultimate
responsibility lies with the
van driver,” said Warren
Alperstein, a Baltimore attorney who has been closely
following the case.
Gray died a week after he
was injured in the van. His
death prompted protests
and civil unrest in Baltimore, and his name became
a national rallying cry for
people angry over officers’
mistreatment of African
Americans.
Gray was arrested in
West Baltimore after making eye contact with a bicycle
officer and running away. After he was handcuffed and
placed inside the van, witnesses have testified that
Gray began to scream and
kick so violently that he
shook the wagon.
Two blocks from the arrest site, the wagon stopped
and three officers took Gray
out to put him in leg shackles. They then placed him on
the floor of the van, headfirst
and on his belly. He was
never buckled into a seat
belt, as required by department policy.
The van made six stops in
total during the trip from the
site of his arrest to the Western District station house.
Goodson is the only officer
present at each of the stops.
At one point, Goodson
stopped the van to check on
Gray without any other officers there.
Goodson, 46, faces second-degree
“depravedheart” murder, manslaughter, assault, misconduct in
office and reckless endangerment charges. Prosecutors say Goodson was so
negligent in his failure to
buckle Gray into a seat belt
that he disregarded the apparent risk to Gray’s life and
well-being.
Officer William Porter,
whose trial ended in a hung
jury in December, testified

during his trial that he told
Goodson at one of the stops
to take Gray to a hospital,
but Goodson didn’t. Instead, Goodson made another stop to pick up a second prisoner.
Goodson recently filed a
motion seeking to block
prosecutors from entering
into evidence statements

Porter made to an investigator.
A pretrial hearing is
scheduled for Monday and
jury selection is expected to
start Tuesday.
Goodson is the only
officer who chose not to
make a statement to investigators.
“This is unlike the other
trials, where at least the
state had a preview as to
what the defense might be or
what the defendant might
say on the witness stand,”
said Steve Levin, a Baltimore attorney who is familiar but unaffiliated with the
case.
“All the stops, it could
work in Goodson’s favor because it demonstrates that
he was concerned about his
prisoner,” Levin said. “At the
same time, it could work in
the state’s favor because

Are you caring for a
loved one with agitation due
to Alzheimer’s disease?
The TRIAD™ Research Study is currently
evaluating an investigational medication to see
if it may reduce agitation in patients with dementia
related to Alzheimer’s disease.
To be considered for this study,
patients must:
• Have moderate to severe agitation*
due to Alzheimer’s disease
• Be between 50 and 90 years of age
This study will include:
• Study-related medical exams
and assessments at no cost
• Potential compensation for
time and travel
prosecutors could argue
that Officer Goodson saw
Mr. Gray several times and
he saw that he was injured
and needed medical aid, and
that he was so concerned
that he kept checking on
Gray.”
Another key difference
between Goodson’s trial and
that of Officer Edward Nero,
who was acquitted last
month, is who will decide.
Nero opted for a bench trial,
and Goodson could place his
fate in the hands of a jury.
Court officials have indicated that jury selection will
begin Tuesday; however,
Goodson could still opt for a
judge trial.
David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor
familiar with the case, said
that if Goodson chooses a
jury trial, selecting the panel
would be a crucial process.
“That’s where people’s
sympathies and experiences
come into play,” he said.
“This will be critical, between pretrial publicity, preconceived notions about law
enforcement and people and
crime and what an officer’s
job is. It’ll all come into play
here.”

The shooter couldn’t kill his dreams
A teen left paralyzed
by a gunman keeps
moving forward.
By Mary Schmich
CHICAGO — This is not
a sad story.
You may have trouble
thinking of it any other way,
but sad is not how Jonathan
Annicks wants you to feel.
“I’m still the same,” he
says. “I just don’t have my
legs.”
Until one night this April,
he had never given any extraordinary thought to his
legs. On school mornings,
he’d walk to the “L” and ride
north to Walter Payton College Prep, a prestigious public school far, in every way,
from his neighborhood.
At Payton, he ran track
and cross-country, and he
loved how running led him to
new places, like out along
the lakefront, with the wonders of the city stretched before him. He loved roaming
around Chicago with his
girlfriend, the two of them
walking for hours, marveling
at the wild variety of urban
life.
He played baseball, ran
races with his mom, rode his
bike until it was stolen,
coached kids in floor hockey.
As he neared the end of
his senior year, the courses
he liked best were ones some
students
call
“blow-off
classes” — dance, broadcast
journalism, drawing and
painting — but he liked them
because they encouraged
him to move his body while
he worked his mind.
And then he was shot.
“Once you get the wheelchair in,” he tells his brother
Joshua, who, at17, is one year
younger, “lay the tux over the
wheelchair.”
It’s Thursday afternoon,
the day before Payton’s
prom, and with his father at
the wheel of the family van,
Jonathan has come to a shop
to pick up his tuxedo.
He was measured for the
tux before the shooting, so
he’s not sure whether it will
fit his changed body. It does,
except for the loose vest,
which a seamstress quickly
alters.
Now, outside the tuxedo
store on this hot spring
afternoon, he needs to get
back in the van. Without
working legs, ordinary acts
become feats of strength, ingenuity, humility.
Joshua
bends
over,
scoops Jonathan’s legs with
an arm, wraps another arm
around his back, lifts.
He slides Jonathan — his
big brother, the one he’s always looked up to for his
knowledge of video games
and cars, for his easy way
with people — into the passenger seat of the van, nudging his legs into place, then
sets the wheelchair in back,
tux on top.
“Ready?” says their father.
They head home, to the
place where the trouble
started.
The Annicks’ home is on
a block populated by longtime residents who sit on
their stoops, barbecue out
front and listen to music,
much of it Mexican.
Mike and Herlinda Annicks and their three sons —
Jonathan, Joshua and Jacob
— occupy the building’s
basement and first floor,
along with Herlinda’s 83year-old mother, Monica
Martinez, who has taken
care of Jonathan since he
was a baby. They rent out
the top floor, which helps to
pay the bills.
It’s a friendly block, but
the street life just beyond it
worries them, and they’ve always tried to keep their kids
close.
“None of our guys hang
out in the neighborhood,”
says Mike Annicks, a maintenance engineer. “We take
them out with positive people, structure them with
sports, go to shows. They
hang out with us. We’ve
worked to keep these kids
out of harm’s way.”
On Saturday night, April
9, the whole family went to a
Chicago Wolves ice hockey
game. They got home late.
Mike and Herlinda went to
sleep when they were sure
the boys were settled,
Joshua in his basement bedroom, Jonathan in his small
bedroom near the kitchen,
Jacob on the living room sofa
bed.
Shortly before 1 a.m.,
Jonathan noticed his phone
battery was fading, and
knowing that Joshua kept
an extra charger in the car,
which was parked out front,
he went to get it.
As he later told police, he
was sitting in the passenger
seat, rummaging around,
when he sensed a shadow.
He looked up.
Jacob, who is 13, heard
the shots from the living
room.
“Oh, they’re shooting
again,” he thought. They.
The gangbangers who shoot
just to shoot. He glanced out
the window, didn’t see anything strange.
But within moments,
Joshua rushed up from the
basement. He’d just received a call from Jonathan,
who, once the shooter fled,
managed to reach into his
pocket for his dying phone.
Soon the whole family
and neighbors were out on
the wide lawn between the
houses and the boulevard.
“Who did this?” Mike Annicks shouted, straddling
his son. “Who did this?”
Jonathan told him to
calm down.
“Where do you hurt?” his
father cried. “Do you want
me to pick you up?”
Jonathan said no, wait
for the ambulance.
“I think I was shot,” he
said.
Jonathan remembers the
sound of several bullets,
though he didn’t feel the one
that hit him. What he remembers is the tingling in
his body, how he slowly
slipped out of the car, how he
glimpsed a blood stain, how
he told his father to stop
shouting.
He remembers waking
up in the hospital, surrounded by sad faces. He has
no memory of the moment
he was told his legs were
paralyzed.
“Rehab wasn’t bad at all,”
Jonathan says. “I got there
on a Monday afternoon. The
next day they taught me how
to cath myself, and within 20
minutes of waking up, I was
in the wheelchair.”
Terrence Antonio James Chicago Tribune
ON PROM NIGHT, Jonathan Annicks and his girl-
friend, Cynthia Valentin. He was shot outside his
Chicago home by an unknown gunman. “I’m still
the same,” he says. “I just don’t have my legs.”
In rehab, he learned how
to get out of the wheelchair:
Lean far forward. Use your
shoulders blades, not your
elbows, to lift your body.
He practiced putting on
shorts: Grab the shorts,
grab one shin, put that foot
through a hole. Repeat on
the other side. When the
shorts are up to the knees,
rock side to side to bring
them higher.
He learned the term “to
cath” (to insert a catheter).
Over the next few weeks,
the rehab center turned into
a second family home. Mike
Annicks took a night shift at
work — 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. — so
he could spend days with his
son. Herlinda kept her regular long hours as a bank
trust officer, but she was at
the center as much as possible.
Finally, a few days ago,
Jonathan was released, and
though everyone was glad to
have him home, home presented a new round of challenges.
The doorways inside are
narrow. So are the rooms,
which make it hard for him
to turn the wheelchair
around. The old tub and
shower verge on impossible.
Getting up and down the
front or back steps is an ordeal.
“We got home one day
and thought, how are we go-
ing to do this?” Joshua says,
recalling the steep back
stairs. “I thought, if he’s all
right with this, I’m just going
to carry him.”
And that’s what Joshua
does after the trip to the tuxedo store when his dad pulls
the family van into the garage.
He lugs the wheelchair
inside, then returns to lift
Jonathan out of the car. With
Jonathan’s arm draped
around his neck, he carries
him up to the kitchen,
pleased that his brother
trusts him so much.
Weeks ago, before the
shooting, Jonathan had fantasized that he would make
his official “promposal” to
Cynthia Valentin, his girlfriend of eight months, by
riding around on the “L” to
their favorite spots.
Life intervened.
On Thursday evening, after picking up his tux, he
makes his official invitation.
Sitting in his wheelchair,
surrounded
by
hockey
posters in his bedroom, he
offers her a bouquet of red
roses.
Without Cynthia, he
probably wouldn’t have been
able to return to school last
Tuesday, which he did, determined to finish his senior
year. He needs someone to
help him go to the bathroom
every couple of hours, and

she volunteered. He accepted. The teachers understand.
“I lost every ounce of shyness I had in the hospital,”
he says.
“I love him,” says Cynthia. “It’s not like the love has
changed.”
But their life together has
changed. No more long
walks, or riding the “L” together. Very little privacy.
On the day before prom, she
couldn’t help but think of all
the prom movies that zoom
in on the couples slow dancing and wonder: “Will we be
able to have our slow
dance?”
The Annicks family plans
to move before long. They
don’t want to. Despite what
happened, they love Chicago
and their home. But they
need to find a place where
Jonathan can move more
freely. They don’t know
where they’ll find the money
for the move and his longterm care, though a Plumfund account has been set
up to help.
Over the summer, he’ll be
getting a better wheelchair
and a car with hand controls
that will let him commute on
his own to DePaul University
in the fall.
One day, the police might
find the person who shot
him. He doesn’t dwell on it.
“I just don’t feel like
they’re important enough to
me to give them my
thoughts,” he says. “It sucks
what they did. People are
constantly doing things to
try to feel accepted. One day,
that’s going to turn around
and bite them on the butt.
One day, they’ll repent trying to feel accepted.”
On Friday afternoon, his
mother helped him shower
and dress, combed his hair.
His brother Joshua tied his
red tie and inserted his black
cuff links.
He posed for his prom
photos in his wheelchair,
Cynthia beside him. For this
one special night, he took off
his metal back brace.
He looked handsome and
strong, and they headed off
to the dance.

Candidates race across the state
[Democrats, from A1]
cafes in Santa Ana and
Santa Barbara and Vallejo,
she took part in earnest discussions with residents on a
disparate number of topics.
But she also found footing that had eluded her so
far in the campaign as she
honed a general-election attack against Donald Trump
that drew such enthusiasm
from her supporters that
even Clinton seemed surprised.
The stylistic contrast between the two was acute
Sunday, the end of the last
weekend of intense primary
season campaigning. As
Sanders ate lunch and
shook hands with shoppers
in the Plaza Mexico mall in
Lynwood, Clinton was in the
Bay Area town of Vallejo,
midway through a detailed
discussion of its social and
economic woes and, with
community leaders, pondering solutions.
For all intents, the primary season comes to an
end Tuesday with voting in
six states from California to
New
Jersey.
Sanders
pledged anew Saturday to
take his fight to a contested
convention in Philadelphia.
Still, the California campaign seemed a visible pivot
to what looms as a hugely divisive November election.
Clinton’s pitch in the
state has mixed an outsize
proclamation of optimism
with
condemnation
of
Trump, particularly since
her Thursday speech in San
Diego that, while ostensibly
about foreign policy, gave
her the platform to assert
that he is unfit for the
presidency.
The optimism pitch has
worked to set up a contrast
with Sanders and his indictments of a “corrupt” campaign finance system and a
“rigged” economy — but
even more with Trump,
whose entire campaign is
premised on the notion that
the country needs to go back
to a time when America was
great — because it isn’t now.
“America’s best years are
ahead of us,” she said Friday
in Westminster. “I am confident. I am optimistic. I am
not one of these people running for president who
spends all of his time downgrading America. I believe
we have problems — what
country doesn’t? — but we
already are great.”
Hours later, inside a
brick-walled cafe in Santa
Ana where one community
leader declared, “I’m totally
in love with you!” Clinton
made the point again.
“You could not have two
more
different
visions,
views, values about how to
make our country confident,
optimistic, embracing,” she
said.
If she has almost ignored
Sanders in California, Clinton has grown increasingly
combative with Trump. And
that has boosted her confidence and that of her
supporters. Since her antiTrump speech debuted, any
reference to it by Clinton has
drawn sustained applause
from her supporters.
“I appreciate your paying
attention,” she said in Westminster, visibly taken aback.
On Sunday evening in
Sacramento, she returned to
her
criticism.
“Donald
Trump is not qualified or
temperamentally fit to be
president and commander
in chief,” she said.
In California, Clinton has
stuck with the campaigning
style that made her the
Democratic front-runner.
Her campaign prefers — and
Clinton herself is best at —
smaller rallies with enthusiastic supporters and coffeeshop gatherings at which
she can show off a depth of
knowledge about issues that
no other candidate can
match. The settings also
underscore her ideological
positioning as the most
mainstream of the Democratic candidates.
Over the weekend, she
talked with small groups
about community colleges,
business loans, gang in-

off to the best start,” she told
churchgoers in Oakland on
Sunday, where she highlighted the effect on developing brains of reading,
talking and singing. “For
some people that doesn’t
sound like an issue that a
president should be focused
on. But I’ll tell you what,
that’s what I’m focused on.”
One
of
the
main
criticisms of Clinton is that
she lacks authenticity or
genuineness, but in those
wonky detours she seems relaxed, engaged and far more
approachable than when
she is behind a lectern. The
conversations also give her a
chance to be seen listening, a
subtle contrast with the
other candidates, and to
point out her nitty-gritty
view of the presidency.
“I happen to know how
hard this job is,” she said in
Oakland. “I wish it was just
about making speeches. We
could all just get up there
and promise the moon and
make all these rhetorical
flourishes. That’d be a lot
easier.”
The
man
making
speeches, of course, is
Sanders. He closed his California campaign with the
well-attended rallies and
momentum events that
have marked his surprisingly successful effort at a
political revolution. On Saturday night, more than
13,000 people showed up outside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to cheer him
on.
On Sunday, he hopscotched across Southern
California, appearing at a
farmers market, walking in
West Hollywood and riding
the Santa Monica Pier
merry-go-round.
If there is a spontaneous
effervescence to some of
Sanders’
campaigning,
there is a chaotic element as
well. And it remains to be
seen whether his activities
attract
the
votes
of
Californians — which is, of
course, the bottom line.
Unlike Clinton’s campaign, Sanders’ effort in California has been marked by
very little in the way of
specifics related to the state.
Apart from a few subtle references, he has stuck with
the same themes and wording he has used all across the
country.
The economy, he says, is
“rigged,” and the nation’s
campaign finance system is
“corrupt.” He favors free college tuition, a hike in the
minimum wage to $15 an
hour, a Medicare-for-all
healthcare system and a
sharp change in the nation’s
environmental policies to
lessen climate change.

fact that states would have
to supply some of the money

Even allies criticize Trump
[Trump, from A1]
They fear Trump will damage GOP candidates nationwide if he fails to tone down
the rhetoric that drew a big
following among Republican primary voters but
might backfire in the general
election.
GOP
allies
quickly
criticized Trump for charging that the judge’s Mexican
ancestry poses a conflict of
interest.
House Speaker Paul D.
Ryan, who begrudgingly endorsed Trump on Thursday,
said Friday that he disapproved of Trump’s remarks.
Senate Majority Leader

Natan Shaoulian, MD
SANDERS VISITS the Santa Monica Pier. Over the weekend, he continued his
mentioned.
Sanders’ criticisms of
Clinton have ebbed and returned throughout the California campaign as he has
fought two parallel battles.
One is for the victory in California on Tuesday, and the
other for the nomination.
His odds for the first are uncertain and his odds for the
second are dim.
As time has run down,
Sanders has become more
overtly angry about what he
sees as a too-hasty crowning
of Clinton — even though
she is expected to corral the
majority of delegates needed
for the nomination by the
time polls close in New Jersey on Tuesday.
“At the end of the nominating process, no candidate will have enough
pledged delegates to call the
campaign
a
victory,”
Sanders said at a Saturday
news conference in Los Angeles.
He angrily warned news
organizations not to declare
Clinton the winner on Tuesday, when she could win
the majority of all delegates. That is because he
opposes her reliance on
superdelegates, the party
leaders who have largely
flocked to Clinton.
On Saturday, as he has
before, Sanders pledged to
fight all the way to the July
convention in hopes of
somehow pulling hundreds
of superdelegates to his side.
“In other words,” he said,
“the Democratic National
Convention will be a contested convention.”
Still, Sanders acknowledged his effort to wrest the
nomination from Clinton is a
long shot.
“Whether I like it or not,
those are the rules,” he said
of the process he’s fighting.
If the long odds worked
their way into Sanders’ language over the weekend, assertions of pending victory
have increasingly made
their way into Clinton’s.
She has radiated confidence. She was loose enough
Friday in West Los Angeles
to crack that, given the
decades in which she has
been involved in policymaking, “I’m like an archaeological dig” when it comes
to her record on women’s
rights.
She was surrounded that
day by a bevy of Hollywood
stars and old friends, and
the audience was mostly
women — the kind of crowd
that often draws the best
speeches out of Clinton.
Even then, at the start of the
long, last weekend of primary season campaigning,
she sounded as if she was
counting the minutes.
“If all goes well, I will have
the great honor as of Tuesday to be the Democratic
nominee,” she said, and her
supporters roared.

saying they were “one of the
worst mistakes Trump has
made.”
“Trump has got to, I
think, move to a new level,”
Gingrich told Fox News on
Sunday. “This is no longer
the primaries. He’s no longer
an interesting contender. He
is now the potential leader of
the United States, and he’s
got to move his game up to
the level of being a potential
leader.”
Trump’s unwillingness
so far to heed such warnings
underscores his lack of selfrestraint as he shifts focus to
the broader electorate. He
has stepped up his belligerence toward the news
media, describing reporters
as scum, sleaze and bloodsuckers in recent days.
Curiel, born in Indiana to
Mexican immigrants, is presiding over a San Diego
fraud lawsuit against the
candidate and his defunct
real estate school, Trump
University. A former narcotics prosecutor, Curiel was
appointed to a state judgeship by former Republican
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and to the federal bench
by
President
Obama.
Trump has accused the
judge of showing bias
against him, but only in the
last few days has he identified Curiel’s ethnicity as the
reason.
Political scientist Julia
Azari of Marquette University in Milwaukee said it
was easy to forget that the
kind of overt prejudice expressed by Trump was the
norm in American politics
before the civil rights movement took hold in the 1950s.
“It’s only fairly recently
that these things have been
frowned on in public discourse, and we’ve assumed
that politics and public life
would be inclusive regardless of race, gender or ethnicity,” she said. “You don’t
erase a history of oppression
or exclusion in 60 years.”
As Trump wrapped up a
California campaign swing
on Friday, he stirred up more
charges of racism at a rally in
Redding when he called a
man in the crowd “my
African American.”
Trump was praising a
black supporter who had
slugged and kicked a
protester at his March rally
in Tucson, calling him “a
great guy,” when he interrupted the story to point
to an African American in
his mostly white audience.
“Look at my African
American over here,” Trump
shouted. “Look at him. Are
you the greatest?”
Critics on social media
charged that Trump’s language evoked slavery.
“Unbelievable,” Democratic strategist Donna
Brazile wrote on Twitter.
But it’s Trump’s attack
on Curiel that has drawn the
most attention.
Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton rebuked Trump on Sunday for
what she called his “ethnic
slurs and rants,” and denounced him for “bigotry” in
a scathing speech last week
detailing her case against
him. She pursued that line of
attack as she campaigned
across California, highlighting Trump’s criticism of
Curiel.
“This is not just another
outlandish, insulting comment from Donald Trump,
and it is not normal politics,”
she said at a stop Saturday
in Oxnard. “This is something much, much more
dangerous.”
When Dickerson challenged Trump on CBS to explain what Curiel’s Mexican
parents had to do with his
ability to be impartial in the
fraud case, Trump said, “Excuse me, I want to build a
wall.”
“We have to stop being so
politically correct in this
country,” Trump said. “And
we need a little more common sense.”
In another interview that
ran Sunday, CNN anchor
Jake Tapper asked Trump,
“If you are saying he can’t do
his job because of his race, is
that not the definition of
racism?”
“No, I don’t think so at
all,” Trump said.
“He is a Mexican. We are
building a wall between here
and Mexico.”

THE AGENDA: ECONOMIC EXPANSION
A LONG REBOUND
Why the 7-year economic recovery feels so weak
By Jim Puzzanghera and Don Lee
T
hough you’d probably never know it
from listening to the presidential candidates, the current U.S. economic
expansion is the fourth-longest since
the end of World War II.
But a startlingly bad jobs report last week
raised new concerns about the state of the economy, even as it probably delayed another interest
rate increase.
As it’s done for the last seven years since the end
of the Great Recession, the economy has been
sending mixed signals. Wages are rising and unemployment remains low, at 4.7%. But job growth
sputtered in May, and total economic output is
expected to grow only about 2% this year, well below the 3.4% average from 1950 to 2007.
“We’ve come a long way from the bottom of
2009,” said David Shulman, senior economist at
the UCLA Anderson Forecast. “But compared to
the historical growth track, we’re so far below it
that it’s staggering, and that’s the unease the public feels about the economy.”
Here’s a look at some of the key indications of
economic health.

Inflation has been edging
up toward the Fed’s target
A big reason Federal Reserve policymakers are considering another interest rate increase despite the slow growth is
the fear that prices could start increasing too rapidly.
Inflation has been tame throughout the recovery, most
recently because of lower oil prices. But core inflation, which
excludes the often-volatile prices of oil and food, has been
creeping up toward the Fed’s annual target of 2%.
It hasn’t been at that level since 2012.
Low prices are good for consumers, but low inflation also
can reflect weak wage growth. So the Fed wants inflation in
what it views as a sweet spot — rising enough to help boost
pay without going up so much that food and other goods become unaffordable.
It takes a while for higher interest rates to affect the economy, so the Fed needs to act before prices rise too much if it
wants to keep inflation in check. Inflation could be running
at an annual rate of 3% next year, Shulman said.
Because prices for oil and other commodities have been
low, higher inflation would be triggered in large part by rising
worker pay and compensation.
Zandi also thinks inflation could soon exceed the Fed’s
preferred level. But because there’s been so little inflation in
recent years, that might not be so bad — particularly if it reflects higher wage growth, he said.
He expects the Fed will move slowly on interest rate
boosts, even if inflation accelerates quickly.
“I think the Fed is happy to ... let the economy run hot for a
while,” Zandi said.
The housing market’s contribution to the economic recovery has been disappointing.
Despite unusually low mortgage rates, demand for singlefamily homes has been weak, especially among young adults,
many of whom are still living with their parents.
Builders, meanwhile, have complained about soaring
regulatory costs and a shortage of affordable lots. Their response has been to build more apartments and fewer but
larger homes that yield bigger returns. Lenders, too, have
been going after higher-end customers, making more jumbo
loans. All that hasn’t helped the first-time buyer or the
broader housing market.
The good news, analysts said, is that things are beginning
to change.
Builders are showing more interest in single-family
dwellings, Wells Fargo senior economist Mark Vitner said.
“Apartment rents in cities are so expensive, there’s a return
to the suburbs for affordability.”
Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Assn. of
Home Builders, sees the share of residential construction
and investment to overall economic output returning to a
more healthy level of about 5%. It was just 3.4% in the first
quarter.
On the supply side, builders are finding it harder to get financing for multifamily properties. So as demand for traditional homes rises, developers can be expected to follow
buyers to more spacious locales in the burbs.
What’s more, Dietz said, there’s a need to replace old
housing stock, so-called tear-down construction, which will
help increase single-family starts.
“The fundamentals are there. It’s just going to take time,”
he said.

Growth has persisted,
but its pace has been slow
Private employees, seasonally adjusted
The economy has been growing for 84 months, a stretch
that is well above the 58-month average post-World War II expansion.
But the pace of this recovery has been the slowest, with
average annual growth of about 2.1%.
That’s made the economic situation precarious, said
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the conservative-leaning
American Action Forum think tank and former director of
the Congressional Budget Office.
“When you’re growing slowly and bad things happen, as
they do, you get knocked toward zero too quickly,” HoltzEakin said.
A recession generally is defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction. So a weak quarter caused by
unusually bad weather or global tumult starts raising recession fears.
That’s what happened in the first quarter of this year,
when a steep drop in business investment triggered largely
by low oil prices helped cause a disappointing annual growth
rate of 0.8%.
As a result, 2016 is the fifth in seven years that the U.S. has
had at least one quarter in which the economy grew at an annual rate of less than 1%.
But as has also happened in the past, the economy
quickly rebounded. Consumer spending in April jumped the
most in seven years, and growth this quarter is expected to
be about 2.5%.
Bottom line: The recession risk will remain low for the
next couple of years, economists said.
“The odds are high this is going to be rivaling the longest
expansion we’ve ever enjoyed,” said Mark Zandi, chief
economist at Moody’s Analytics.

Pay has been rising slowly
despite falling jobless rate
The unemployment rate has been cut by more than half
since its recent peak of 10% in late 2009. But the labor market
continues to have unsettling ups and downs.
After solid job growth in recent years, the pace of hiring
declined sharply this spring.
On Friday, the Labor Department said the economy added just 38,000 net new jobs in May, the worst performance
since 2010, although the figure was skewed somewhat by a
Verizon strike that just ended.
Still, the economy has added about 2.4 million net jobs in
the 12 months that ended May 31 and more than 14 million
since the labor market bottomed out about six years ago.
“The economy’s very close to full employment,” Zandi
said.
But wages have been slow to rise. And economists said the
labor market won’t be fully healed until workers see their
paychecks growing substantially.
There are signs that is starting to happen. Job growth has
reduced the number of unemployed Americans and put
pressure on employers to raise wages to attract and keep
workers.
Average hourly earnings increased 2.5% for the 12 months
that ended May 31. That’s slightly lower than the annual pace
at the end of last year but still a positive sign after stretches of
less than 2% growth during the recovery.
“Wages are beginning to pick up,” Shulman said.
He expects the pace to be above 3% by the end of the year.
Fed policymakers are watching wages and the percentage of
working-age Americans in the labor force, which has been
near historic lows, as they weigh a rate increase.
Analysts said last week’s poor jobs report most likely
means Fed officials won’t raise rates when they meet June 14
to 15. But a better jobs report next month could lead to a
boost in July.
Economist Catherine Mann said the world economy is
stuck in a trap of slow investment, sluggish trade and low
productivity gains. And there are significant risks ahead.
There’s the lingering uncertainty over China’s economic
slowdown, which clobbered financial markets early this year.
Currency swings and interest rate increases by the Federal
Reserve could roil countries with large debts. Political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa could further disrupt oil markets and propel outflows of refugees into Europe.
And then there’s the so-called Brexit referendum June 23.
If Britain votes to leave the European Union, the hit to the
global economy could be as powerful as a hard landing in
China, said Mann, the chief economist at the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development.
“The consequences of the trap and the risks is that we’ve
broken our promises to the young, the old and the investors,”
she said at a news briefing last week.
For the U.S., the global malaise has been felt prominently
in softer foreign earnings and trade, which has hurt domestic
manufacturing and exporters. American exports in the first
quarter fell 8% from the same period in 2015.
Sara Johnson, senior research director at IHS Global Insight, is forecasting U.S. exports will rebound next year, but
will continue to be eclipsed by imports. So trade will remain a
small drag on the American economy through at least 2018.
Problems cyclical in nature, such as excess commodity
supplies, may pass with time, but not so with structural challenges. They include an aging population and declining labor
force growth, and issues involving infrastructure and education — all of which, unless dealt with, will keep the U.S. and
global economies from reaching their full potential.

No clear
favorite
[Supervisor, from A1]
where a courthouse and a regional park bear his name
and many voters can’t remember a time before he
was their county representative.
His departure — along
with that of Supervisor Don
Knabe, the only other Republican on the officially
nonpartisan five-member
board — also marks a
turning point for the political landscape of county government.
Antonovich’s seat appears likely to stay in Republican hands. The five Republican candidates have raised
the most money and are considered by political observers the most likely to advance.
They
are:
Barger,
Antonovich’s longtime chief
of staff, who has his endorsement; Englander, a Los Angeles
city
councilman;
prosecutor Elan Carr; state
Sen. Bob Huff; and former
Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian. The three Democrats
running — Darrell Park, Raj
Pal Kahlon and Billy Malone
— have raised little money,
although Park has the endorsement of the county
Democratic Party.
In Knabe’s south L.A.
County district, where registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans by 21
percentage points, there is a
strong possibility that the
seat will shift to a Democrat.
U.S. Rep. Janice Hahn
(D-San Pedro), a former Los
Angeles City Council member and daughter of former
county Supervisor Kenneth
Hahn, and Knabe aide Steve
Napolitano, a Republican
who is supported by Knabe
and Antonovich, are vying
for that spot, along with
Whittier school board member Ralph Pacheco, a
Democrat.
Antonovich has been the
most conservative member
of the board. He fought to
have a cross placed on the
county seal, periodically
sends out news releases de-
crying county money spent
on services to “illegal aliens,”
and sometimes refers to the
American Civil Liberties
Union as the “American
Criminal Liberties Union.”
Although his district remains the most conservative in the county, it has
moved to the left and become more diverse since he
took office in 1980.
The Latino and Asian
populations of the district
have grown substantially
and the African American
population more modestly,
while the number of white
residents has shrunk. Registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans, 41% to
30%. An additional 24% declined to state a party
preference.
The Republicans running to replace Antonovich
have mostly taken a centrist
tack in an attempt to appeal
to voters across party lines.
Luis Alvarado, a political
consultant who works with
Republican candidates, said
the candidates would be “almost unrecognizable as Republicans” anywhere outside Los Angeles County.
“If you look at the platforms of each one of these
candidates, they’re, I would
say, consistently all very
moderate, if not just centerleft,” he said.
Barger has lined up endorsements and substantial
spending from the powerful
L.A. County Federation of
Labor and other unions that
typically support Democrats.
Englander
has
courted
environmental
groups, playing up his involvement in the response to
the major leak at the Aliso
Canyon gas facility that
prompted thousands of families to flee Porter Ranch. He
won the endorsement of the
Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters.
Carr has played up his
tough-on-crime credentials
as a gang prosecutor and
Iraq war veteran, but has
also touted his role in setting
up community courts for

And Najarian was the
only one of the five Republicans to voice opposition to
presumptive
Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump in response to a
question at a recent forum
hosted by public radio station KPCC. “I am strongly
opposed to many, many and
much of the platform of Donald Trump and unless he
changes that I will not be
voting for him,” he said.
Huff, the former state
Senate Republican leader,

about their stance on cooperation between county
jails and federal immigration authorities.

also gotten a substantial
boost from outside groups.
An independent expenditure committee supporting
Englander has raised more
than $300,000 from construction trade unions, developers and others. The
unions representing county
sheriff ’s deputies and firefighters have pumped $1.2
million into a committee
supporting Barger’s bid.
Alan Clayton, a political
consultant who has tangled
with the Board of Supervisors over redistricting and
efforts to create another
Latino seat on the board,
predicted that Barger’s political and financial support
from the labor federation
will help boost her to victory,
as it did for sitting Supervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas
and Sheila Kuehl.
“The unions are going to
go with somebody and
they’ve decided that she’s
acceptable to them,” said
Clayton, who added that despite past disagreements
with her boss, he is supporting Barger. “The [Federation of Labor’s] not going to
want to lose a race.”
He predicted the second
spot in the runoff would go to
Englander or Najarian.
Yaroslavsky, who is backing Najarian because of their
past work together on the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said the race
is “really wide open,” adding,
“A lot of it will depend on who
turns out.”

advertises its Align probiotic supplement by claiming Align provides digestive
health benefits that it does not actually provide. The lawsuit seeks cash refunds, a
court order requiring Procter & Gamble’s advertising be truthful and that Procter
& Gamble initiate a corrective advertising campaign. Procter & Gamble denies it
did anything wrong.
The Court has not decided whether the Class or Procter & Gamble is right. The
attorneys for the Class will have to prove their claims at a trial. The trial date is
October 16, 2017.

Carr and Barger decried
the lack of federal immigration reform, with Carr calling it a disgrace and Barger
saying, “It kills me that [the
federal government] will reimburse us for people held in
jails but not for basic healthcare for people who are
here.”
Englander, a reserve Los
Angeles police officer, added
that the policies have
created mistrust between
communities and law enforcement and said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement “has made a terrible mistake in what they’ve
done.”
Najarian called past policies under which the jails
would hold people past the
end of their sentences in order to turn them over to immigration authorities unconstitutional.
“The ironic thing is many
of them left their oppressive
governments to come to the
United States to seek freedom,” he said.
Only Huff took a hardline stance.
“I’m not the guy up here
on this dais that’s going to
throw ICE out of L.A., so if
that’s what you’re looking
for, vote for one of the others,” he said.
Apart from the political
dynamics of the district, the

complicated district,” said

Englander and Barger
have both sought to shore up
support in the San Fernando Valley by claiming
credit for the response to the
Porter Ranch gas leak. Najarian has a base in the Armenian ethnic community
of Glendale. Huff has built
up support in the Asian
communities of the San Gabriel Valley with the help of
his Taiwanese wife, Mei Mei

Physicians skeptical of new law
[Doctors, from A1]
Wenger’s stance is common among doctors in California: He accepts that physician-aided death is now legal — in fact, he’s in charge of
implementing the new law at
UCLA — but remains unlikely to participate himself,
saying it goes against his
oath to save lives.
Though both advocates
and opponents of doctoraided death call California’s
legalization a big step — either forward or backward —
for medical care, experts
predict that it would probably be a marginalized practice within the healthcare
system, with few patients
asking for lethal medications and few doctors furnishing them.
“For most of us this may
be a once or twice in a lifetime, or in a career, situation,” said Dr. Jay Lee, head
of the California Academy of
Family Physicians.
When the End of Life Option Act goes into effect
Thursday, California will become the fifth state in the
nation to allow patients with
less than six months to live
to request end-of-life drugs
from their doctors.
The law is intended to
help terminally ill patients
avoid suffering. When he
signed the bill into law in October, Gov. Jerry Brown
wrote that he believed it
would be a comfort to have
this option if he were “dying
in prolonged and excruciating pain.”
More than three-fourths
of Californians were in favor
of such a law, including 82%
of Democrats and 67% of Republicans, according to a
poll conducted last year by
the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley.
But doctors tend to be
more wary. Neither the
American Medical Assn. nor
the California Medical Assn.
supports such legislation.
Physicians
have
no
obligations under California’s law; they don’t have to
prescribe such medications
if asked or refer patients to
colleagues who will. They
don’t even have to discuss
aid-in-dying if a patient approaches them about it.
NEIL WENGER is in charge of implementing the new physician-aided death law at UCLA, but he remains
unlikely to participate himself, saying it goes against his oath to save lives.
But leaders of physicians
groups say they want doctors to be able to talk about
the treatment so they can
properly address patients’
concerns and questions.
For the last several
months, these organizations
have been holding webinars
and training sessions and
providing
educational
materials about the law. The
California
Academy
of
Family Physicians launched
a podcast in April about
end-of-life care options.
Lee said the group wants
doctors to be better at talking about all treatment options around death, as well
as physician-aided death
specifically.
“Not everyone feels entirely comfortable yet, because it’s been, kind of, in the
medical community, a taboo
topic,” Lee said.
Some doctors object to
the idea that a patient’s pain
could be so great that they
would choose to die. It’s un-
likely for pain to not be controlled with palliative care or
other treatments, they say.
Wenger said that sometimes a patient feels so much
pain that they need to be sedated to a point of unresponsiveness. But he’s seen only
one or two patients like that
in his more than 20-year career, he said.
In Oregon, only 25% of
those who died from lethal
medication said they were
worried about pain control,
according to data from the
state’s public health department. More common reasons for choosing aid-in-dying were loss of autonomy
(92%), being less able to engage in activities that made
life enjoyable (90%) and burdening family or caregivers
(41%).
That reveals a need for
improving quality-of-life and
social support, not legalizing aid-in-dying, said Dr.
Aaron Kheriaty, a UC Irvine
psychiatrist and director of
the university’s medical ethics program.
“It’s really another BandAid solution,” he said.
But Dr. Ben Rich, a professor of medicine and bioethics at the UC Davis
School of Medicine, said that
other kinds of suffering
should be considered just as
painful as physical discomfort.
He also pointed out that
physician-aided death has
typically been a last resort
for patients who feel as if
they can get no more comfort from medical care. More
than 90% of Oregonians who
chose aid-in-dying were already on hospice care, according to state data.
“People don’t get these
prescriptions and then automatically use them without
thinking, without going forward and seeing how hospice and palliative care measures can give them an acceptable quality of life,” he
said.
Under the law, healthcare
systems can choose to opt
out and prohibit their
employees from writing such
prescriptions.
Catholic and church-affiliated hospitals, which
make up 13% of all acute care
hospitals in the state, will
not allow their physicians to
prescribe such medications,
said Lori Dangberg, vice
president of the Alliance of
Catholic Health Care.
Most hospital systems,
including L.A. County’s public hospitals and Kaiser Permanente, say they will allow
physicians to participate.
But Rich said he thinks
that not all doctors who support the practice will write
prescriptions, reluctant to
wade into a hot-button issue.
In the first three years
that Oregon’s aid-in-dying
law was in effect, the majority of patients who received
prescriptions for lethal
medications were turned
down by the first doctor they
asked, state data show.
Even last year, 106 doctors wrote 218 prescriptions,
with at least one physician
writing 27, state data show.
Rich said that doctors
who prescribe lethal medications could have to endure
backlash from the community and opposition from colleagues, like those who perform another controversial
medical procedure: abortions.
“In a certain sense, that’s
going to be true of
physicians who are willing to
offer this,” he said. “They’re
simply going to have to exercise moral courage and the
courage of their conviction
and say, ‘I think this is a legitimate end-of-life option.’”
Overall, physician aid-indying is extremely rare.
Fewer than1,000 people have
died from lethal prescriptions in Oregon since aid-indying became legal there in
1998. Based on Oregon’s experience, California analysts
estimate
that
1,476
Californians will obtain prescriptions in the state in its
first year.
The state health department will collect data on who
takes advantage of the new
law and release the first
batch in July 2017. The End of
Life Option Act will expire in
2026 unless the Legislature
chooses to renew it.
Experts say that even
organizations that forbid
their doctors from prescribing lethal medications need
to be able to discuss aid-indying now that it’s legal, otherwise they risk having dissatisfied customers.
Dangberg with the Alliance of Catholic Health
Care said the group was educating physicians about the
law. “It’s not just a matter of
saying ‘No, we won’t do
something,’ ” she said.
They’re
focused
on
teaching physicians to ask
about the concerns and
fears that lead terminally ill
patients to ask to end their
lives. “If we’re doing our job
well, we’ll be able to address
those reasons,” she said.

When Ali spoke
Is this the
reform the
DWP needs?
By Dave Zirin
A ballot measure proposed by the
City Council is a mixed bag of
good ideas and questionable ones.
L
OP-ED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ast December, an independent
consultant hired to analyze the Los
Angeles Department of Water and
Power recommended a ballot
measure to overhaul the governance of the nation’s largest public utility. It
was the fifth attempt in less than two
decades to reform the DWP, which has
lurched from controversy to controversy. But
something unusual happened this time: The
City Council and mayor acted on the recommendation.
Earlier this year, Councilman Felipe Fuentes proposed a slate of changes that he
said would result in a more transparent, efficient and accountable utility. Council
President Herb Wesson then held eight
meetings across the city to collect opinions
on how to fix the DWP, as well as behind-thescenes negotiations with the mayor, council
members and other interests. The result, released last week, is a compromise proposal
for the November ballot that offers a hodgepodge of fixes, some good, some worrisome.
But would these reforms actually solve
the DWP’s biggest problems? The report released last year said the utility is unable to do
a better job delivering water and power because managers answer to multiple layers of
political and bureaucratic bosses. Those include Mayor Eric Garcetti, his five appointees on the Board of Water and Power Commissioners and the City Council, plus the
Civil Service Commission and Personnel Department, which control hiring, and City
Hall’s financial and legislative analysts, who
scrutinize DWP’s proposals on behalf of the
mayor and council. Intended to provide
checks and balances for the $5-billion public
utility, the multiple layers have instead
yielded competing agendas and a lack of accountability. The results at the DWP include
a new customer billing system that was rolled
out before it was ready, a massive backlog of
maintenance work, and concerns about the
utility’s ability to evolve to meet green energy
and water conservation goals.
It’s hard to tell whether the proposal
would create clearer lines of authority so the
people in charge recognize problems and
take responsibility for fixing them. The
measure aims to empower the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which is
charged with direct oversight of the utility, by
enlarging it to seven members and requiring
the City Council to ratify any attempt by the
mayor to remove commissioners. That’s fine.
But the proposal would shorten the commissioners’ five-year terms to three years and
give the council the power to remove them
with a supermajority vote. We’ve seen what
can happen with term limits and frequent
turnover among decision makers — a loss of
institutional knowledge and greater reliance
on staff or lobbyists. If the goal is to have
savvy, experienced and independent commissioners overseeing the DWP, then why
give them such short terms and have them
worrying about being fired by the council?
The answer is probably that the mayor
doesn’t want longer terms for commissioners
he can no longer yank at will, and the City
Council also wants the power to oust commissioners. This is the tension that has
plagued the DWP for decades. Elected officials are loath to loosen their grip over the
DWP because Angelenos have so much at
stake in the utility’s successes and failures.
(Rate hikes, water main breaks, power outages — the DWP has a direct impact on residents’ lives.) But all that meddling, the layers
of bureaucracy and the political interference
weaken the utility and, ultimately, hurt
ratepayers. In the effort to fix the DWP, the
mayor and City Council shouldn’t break it
even more.
There are some good ideas and necessary
changes in the council’s proposed ballot
measure. It would make it easier for the general manager and the board to approve business deals. It opens the door to changing Civil Services rules, ostensibly to make it easier
for the utility to hire the specialized workers
it needs. It would establish a new procedure
for rate hikes. The DWP would have to prepare a strategic plan every four years, outlining the rate increases needed to pay for the
planned projects and programs. Once the
City Council and mayor approved the plan,
the Board of Water and Power Commissioners would have the authority to raise rates
within the plan’s limits with no additional
council vote required. At the very least, such
an approach could force policymakers to
recognize and approve the costs of their policies.
M
uhammad Ali’s
saga is without
parallel:
the
champion boxer
who was the
most famous draft resister in
history; a man whose phone
was bugged by the Johnson and
Nixon administrations yet who
later was invited to the White
House of Gerald Ford; a prodigal son whom his hometown
city council in Louisville, Ky.,
condemned, but who a few
years later had a main street renamed in his honor and today
has a museum that bears his
name.
His life was one of polarization and reconciliation, anger
and love, and a ferocious, uncompromising commitment to
nonviolence,
all
delivered
through the scandalously dirty
vessel of corruption known as
boxing. Few have ever walked so
confidently and casually from
man to myth, and that journey
was well earned.
As football great Jim Brown
said to me last year: “It was unbelievable, the courage he had.
He wasn’t just a championship
athlete. He was a champion
who fought for his people…. The
man used his athletic ability as
a platform to project himself
right up there with world leaders … going after things that
very few people have the
courage to go after. From the
standpoint of his ability to perform and his ability to be involved with the world, Ali was
the most important sports figure in history.”
Or, as Bill Russell said in1967
in supporting Ali’s decision to
risk five years in prison for resisting the draft: “I envy
Muhammad Ali.... He has something I have never been able to
attain and something very few
people possess: He has absolute and sincere faith. I’m not
worried about Muhammad Ali.
He is better equipped than anyone I know to withstand the
trials in store for him. What I’m
worried about is the rest of us.”
Ali’s death, however, should
be an opportunity to remember
what made him so dangerous in
the first place.
The best place to start would
be to recall the part of him that
died decades ago: his voice. No
athlete, no politician, no
preacher ever had a voice quite
like his or used it as effectively
as he did. Ali’s voice was playful,
lilting, with a rhythm that
matched his otherworldly foot-

Listen closely to understand
what made him so dangerous.
work in the boxing ring. It’s a
voice that forced you to listen
lest you miss a joke, a gibe or a
flash of joy.
Retired New York Times
sportswriter Robert Lipsyte
said to me, “Before everything
else, what I’ll remember about
the young Ali was that he was so
much fun.” And that his voice
had a physical beauty that
“beat you to death with his attractiveness.”
With that voice, face and
body, the man Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. could have been
Michael Jordan before Jordan:
an icon of ungodly wealth and
conspicuous consumption.
But Cassius Clay chose to be
Muhammad Ali and do something different with that voice.
He used it to speak out from a
hyper-exalted sports platform
to change the world. He joined
the Nation of Islam in frustration with the pace and demands
of the civil rights movement. He
was willing to go to jail in opposition to the war in Vietnam.
But one has to hear the voice,
and read the words, to under-
stand what exactly made it so
dangerous and, by extension,
made it all matter.
Imagine not only an athlete
but a public figure telling these
kinds of unvarnished truths. To
this day it is awe-inspiring that
he once bellowed “God damn
the white man’s money” at a
time when such words were
more than shocking — they
were sacrilege.
It is awe-inspiring that,
when facing five years in prison,
Ali said: “I strongly object to the
fact that so many newspapers
have given the American public
and the world the impression
that I have only two alternatives
in this stand — either I go to jail
or go to the Army. There is another alternative, and that alternative is justice. If justice
prevails, if my constitutional
rights are upheld, I will be
forced to go neither to the Army
nor jail. In the end, I am confident that justice will come my
way, for the truth must
eventually prevail.”
He was equally moving when
he said on another occasion:
“Boxing is nothing, just satisfying to some bloodthirsty
people. I’m no longer a Cassius
Clay, a Negro from Kentucky. I
belong to the world, the black
world. This is more than money.”
In 1967, long before it was obvious to most, Ali connected the
black freedom struggle to the
injustices of the war in Vietnam,
saying: “Why should they ask
me to put on a uniform and go
10,000 miles from home and
drop bombs and bullets on
brown people in Vietnam while
so-called Negro people in
Louisville are treated like dogs
and denied simple human
rights? No, I’m not going 10,000
miles from home to help murder
and burn another poor nation
simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of
the darker people the world
over. This is the day when such
evils must come to an end. I
have been warned that to take
such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it
once and I will say it again: The
real enemy of my people is here.
I will not disgrace my religion,
my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who
are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality.... If I
thought the war was going to
bring freedom and equality to
22 million of my people, they
wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d
join tomorrow. I have nothing to
lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what?
We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”
We haven’t heard Ali speak
for himself in more than a generation, and it says something
damning about this country
that he was only truly embraced
after he lost his power of speech,
stripped of that beautiful voice.
Ali may have seemed like he was
from another world, but his
greatest gift was that he gave us
quite a simple road map to walk
his path. It is not about being a
world-class athlete or an impossibly beautiful and charismatic
person. It is simply to stand up
for what you believe in.
Political courage might
seem to be in short supply, but it
was inside a young boxer from
Louisville who dreamed about
being King of the World. Goodbye, Champ. Rest in power and
peace.

A better mission for Peter Thiel
Silicon Valley lobbyists
are working overtime
to undermine privacy
protections.
By Jim Steyer
P
ayPal co-founder Peter Thiel likes his privacy. Angry at Gawker
for discussing his sexuality in 2007, he paid $10
million in legal expenses to finance several lawsuits brought
by others against the gossip site.
But Thiel claims he wasn’t just
out for himself. “It’s less about
revenge and more about specific
deterrence,” he said, and called
his move against Gawker “one of
my greater philanthropic things
that I’ve done.”
If Thiel really wants to make
the world safe for privacy, he
might consider laying off the
media and laying into his Silicon
Valley colleagues, many of
whom are rather dismissive of
the notion that privacy matters.
As Reddit Chief Executive
Steve Huffman recently boasted
to an interviewer in explaining
his company’s business model,
“We know your dark secrets.
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
AND
We know everything.”
Gathering and repackaging
personal information is a multibillion-dollar business, and a
number of tech companies have
been bold in their efforts to
make sure it stays that way. Indeed, legions of lobbyists for the
tech industry have aggressively
worked around the country to
undermine privacy protections
for consumers of all stripes, including children.
In Illinois, for example, privacy advocates won an important victory with the passage of
a law that offers strict guidelines
for how social media companies
can use facial recognition technologies to identify users online
and off. Companies can use this
technology to send targeted ads
and create consumer profiles,
without the consumers’ knowledge. But recently, tech lobbyists succeeded in introducing
new legislation that would
weaken the law, creating an exception for existing photo-tagging technology and preempting several class-action lawsuits.
In North Carolina, a bill influenced by tech industry lobbyists would seriously compromise student privacy protections in that state, allowing education companies to repurpose
PUBLISHER
Davan Maharaj
and reuse sensitive information,
like teacher evaluations, socioeconomic data and geolocation
information.
Tech companies are meddling with privacy rights in California too. Before the ink was
dry on the Student Online Personal Information Protection
Act, which prohibits education
software vendors from selling
student data and using the information to market to kids, an
industry trade group backed by
the nation’s largest tech companies introduced new legislation
in Sacramento that would have
weakened many of the key protections in the original bill. The
industry-backed
proposal
stalled in the Legislature, but
advocates are bracing for another fight.
When the tech industry loses
a privacy fight, it tries again; but
often it doesn’t lose. Also in California, tech interests succeeded
in thwarting a 2015 attempt to
limit the ability of companies to
track the whereabouts of kids
and other consumers. The proposal would have required companies to clearly explain to customers how their location information would be used and
shared when they installed a
new app. It also would have required companies to obtain con-
sent before collecting their customers’ geolocation data.
Too many in Silicon Valley
appear to be guided by the desire to put profits and business
innovation above all else. They
operate like the robber barons of
our past, with little or no regard
for the best interest of future
generations.
In a recent speech in Hiroshima, Japan, President Obama offered a reminder of the fundamental moral responsibilities of
those at innovation’s cutting
edge.
“Technological
progress
without an equivalent progress
in human institutions can doom
us,” the president said, citing
the need for “a moral revolution”
to match our rapid societal
change.
The next revolution in Silicon Valley must be one that ensures the right to privacy.

overall lead with African Americans, Clinton did not neatly inherit the love many felt for her husband.
Among some black
voters, an age divide
Younger African Americans aren’t as enamored with the
Clintons as their parents, and many are backing Bernie
By Angel Jennings
The president of the New Frontier
Democratic Club made his hard pitch
for voting for Hillary Clinton inside the
South Los Angeles community room.
She will lead the charge for racial
equality and fair pay for women, Mike
Davis told the two dozen black men
and women last month. She will fight
for black families, he said, stretching
his hosannas for the former secretary
of State for a good 10 minutes.
Can we just take a vote to endorse
Hillary, someone in the crowd said.
“Let’s vote,” Davis agreed.
James Scriven Sr., 79, raised his
hand high along with everybody except for two holdouts: Scriven’s two
sons, Tabari, 39, and James Jr., 41.
To their father’s mild displeasure,
they were feeling the Bern.
“He has new ideas that will help the
economy and create jobs,” Tabari, of
Inglewood, said of Bernie Sanders.
“Young people are trying to better
themselves through education, but
student loans are standing in the
way.”
With the California primary set for
Tuesday, polls suggest the race between Clinton and Sanders has tightened, although she still appears to
hold a lead.
A poll of black voters in California
commissioned
by
the
African
American Voter Registration Education Participation Project conducted
by Evitarus found that 71% of 800 likely
voters surveyed supported Clinton.
But among the black voters younger
than 40, half said they would probably
vote for Sanders, compared with 34%
for Clinton. The poll had a margin of
error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage
points.
His sons’ support for Sanders did
not sit well with the elder Scriven, who
like many blacks has an enduring affection for Clinton’s husband.
“Bernie is not going to win,”
Scriven said dismissively. “They will
be voting for Hillary Clinton in the
presidential election.”
Despite her overall lead with
blacks, Clinton did not neatly inherit
the love many felt for Bill Clinton, who
famously played a soulful saxophone
on “The Arsenio Hall Show” in 1992
and whom novelist Toni Morrison later dubbed “the first black president.”
If significant numbers of younger
African Americans vote for Sanders,
that could play an important role in a
primary that Dan Schnur, director of
the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of
Politics at USC, said could be tight.
“There is no question that Sanders
can win the California primary,”
Schnur said. To do so, however, he
would need an unusually large turnout
of young voters, including young minority voters like the Scriven brothers.
Sanders leads Clinton among
younger minority voters, as he does
among younger whites, according to a
new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times
poll. Among Latinos under age 50,
Sanders led 58% to 31%, the poll found.

California’s
primary election Tuesday
is shaping up
to make history. It’s likely
to be the first
time that
voters send
two candidates from the
same party to the November runoff for a U.S. Senate
seat.
Or for any partisan
statewide office in California, for that matter.
If several polls are correct, all Republican Senate
candidates will be
eliminated Tuesday. And in
the fall, the voters’ only
choice will be between two
Democrats for one of the
most potent elective offices
a state can offer.
The other powerful office
is governor. And get ready
for a potential Democratsonly runoff for that post in
2018 when Gov. Jerry Brown
is termed out.
The two probable Senate
finalists are state Atty. Gen.
Kamala Harris, 51, a former
San Francisco district
attorney, and 10-term U.S.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez, 56, of
Orange.

Jailers at the Los Angeles
Police Department’s busiest
detention facility frequently
failed to properly conduct
welfare checks of cells to ensure inmates were safe, according to a report released
Friday by the LAPD’s watchdog.
The review, conducted by
Inspector General Alex Bustamante, found that 82% of
198 checks conducted at
downtown
L.A.’s
Metropolitan Detention Center
were “out of compliance”
with standards established
by state regulations, LAPD
policy or expectations from
the department on how
those checks are conducted.
In 26 of the 163 flawed
checks, Bustamante found,
jailers entered the two-level
cellblocks where inmates
are housed but failed to inspect the entire area of each
floor. In the remainder of the
cases, he wrote, jailers did
not enter the cellblocks at all
and often miscounted the
number of inmates inside.

first and second, respectively, in a far-flung field of
34 mostly unknown candidates.
In a USC Dornsife/Los
Angeles Times poll last
week, Harris held a comfortable 34%-to-14% lead
over Sanchez among likely
voters. No Republican had
more than 7%.
But in a low-profile race
submerged by the presidential primary, it is still
theoretically possible for a
long-shot Republican to
finish second.
In a recent Field Poll of
likely voters, Harris led
Sanchez by 30% to 14%, with
no Republican above 4%.
But 27% were undecided.
An all-Democratic runoff is probable because of
California’s relatively new
open primary system. No
longer are there party
nominations. All voters,
regardless of party registration, get one ballot that
lists every candidate. The
top-two finishers advance
to the general election.

The LAPD requires jailers to check each inmate and
cell — whether empty or not
— every half hour, when they
are supposed to “look and
listen for obvious signs of
distress or trauma,” according to Bustamante’s report.
Police
Commissioner
Robert Saltzman said he
found the failure rate to be
deeply troublesome. The report’s finding that jails logs
were inaccurate “raises another set of concerns entirely,” he said. He noted
that the checks are meant to
ensure the safety not just of
inmates but police and jailers
too,
saying
the
regulations were “crystal
clear about what is required.”
“The 82% compliancefailure rate suggests systemic failure,” he said.
The president of the Police Commission called the
findings “very troubling” but
noted there were no indications that the failed checks
cited in Bustamante’s report led to any inmate injuries or deaths.
“Although the inspector
general identified concerns
with the quality of welfare
checks … there were no issues identified with the
treatment or care of inmates
within LAPD’s custody,”

Trump isn’t judge’s toughest foe
The ex-prosecutor
attacked by GOP
candidate once fought
Mexican drug cartels.
GREG MORAN
SAN DIEGO — Since fall
2012, U.S. District Judge
Gonzalo Curiel has quietly
presided over hundreds of
cases from a spacious woodpaneled courtroom on the
second floor of the federal
courthouse in downtown
San Diego, drawing little
attention outside the
tightknit federal legal community.
It’s a building that Curiel
is familiar with, from his
13-year-long tenure as a
narcotics prosecutor with
the U.S. attorney’s office in
San Diego, eventually rising
to chief of the unit.
There, from 1989 to 2002,
he built a reputation as a
tough, effective lawyer in
charge of a special task force
charged with dismantling
the Arellano Felix drug
cartel — an assignment that
earned him round-the-clock
protection from the U.S.
Marshals Service for a year
while under a death threat
from the cartel.
Now, Curiel finds himself
facing a different kind of
threat.
The bespectacled, softspoken judge has been the
target of repeated verbal
assaults on his ethnic background, competence and
fairness from Donald
Trump, the presumptive
Republican nominee for
president.
In a campaign appearance in San Diego on
May 27, the candidate went
on at length about two
federal lawsuits filed against
him and his real estate
investing program. He said
Curiel, who is presiding over
those two class-action suits,
was a “hater” and referred
to the Indiana-born judge as
a Mexican.
“They ought to look into
Judge Curiel,” he said.
The attacks continued
last week, with Trump
telling the Wall Street Journal that Curiel’s ethnic
heritage — his parents were
Mexican immigrants —
made him biased.
Trump also criticized
Curiel’s membership in La
Raza Lawyers Assn., apparently confusing the professional organization with an
activist group that goes by a
similar name.
A centerpiece of Trump’s
campaign has been his vow
to build a wall along the
border between the U.S. and
Mexico and to deport immigrants here illegally. Trump
contends that Curiel, given
his ethnic background, has
a built-in conflict of interest
because of Trump’s advocacy of the border wall and
deportations.
Those attacks on Curiel
have stunned legal observers, who say they
threaten the independence
of the judiciary, and outraged those who know
Curiel in both his previous
career as a federal
prosecutor and in his work
as a judge in state courts in
San Diego and the federal
court.
“It’s offensive,” said
Gregory Vega, a former U.S.
attorney in San Diego and
longtime friend of Curiel.
“We haven’t talked about
this because he doesn’t talk
about his cases. But I’m
angry.”
But, he said, Curiel probably isn’t.
The judge isn’t commenting on the Trump
controversy, his office said
Friday, citing judicial rules
that prohibit judges from
speaking about cases pending before them.
It’s true that most
lawyers are reluctant to
criticize a sitting judge in
public, concerned about
offending that judge, or
other judges. Even given
that, opinions on Curiel
from a cross section of
lawyers consistently point
to his even demeanor, mild
temperament and intelligence.
San Diego lawyer Candace Carroll headed a
John Gastaldo San Diego Union-Tribune
DONALD TRUMP’S criticism of U.S. District Judge
Gonzalo Curiel probably won’t faze him, a friend says.
screening committee for
Sen. Barbara Boxer (DCalif.) that reviewed and
recommended applicants
for federal judges, and
which reviewed Curiel in
2011. The committee casts a
wide net and interviews
scores of people, she said.
“If you’re a jerk, opposing
counsel will know that and
tell the committee about it,”
she said. “If you’re arrogant,
we’ll hear arrogant over and
over again. He was very
highly recommended. No
one could say a bad thing
about him.”
Curiel is presiding over
two class-action lawsuits
filed against Trump over his
now-defunct Trump University real estate seminars,
for which some people paid
up to $35,000.
One suit covers people
who paid for Trump courses
in Florida, California and
New York. That case was
filed in 2010 and is set for
trial in November. Trump is
expected to testify. The
second suit, filed in 2013, is a
civil-racketeering allegation
that covers all in the country
who took a Trump University course.
The suits contend that
attendees were duped into
believing they would learn
Trump’s real estate secrets
from his hand-picked instructors, at a university
comparable to a top business school.
Special
thanks to
Hitachi.
Instead, the suits say, the
seminars were taught by
unqualified instructors and
were designed to extract as
much money from attendees as possible, urging them
to max out credit cards and
using high-pressure sales
tactics that emphasized
“up-selling” attendees to get
them to buy more expensive
course offerings.
Trump and his legal
team have said the claims
are bogus and that the vast
majority of attendees were
satisfied with the seminars.
Curiel is the third judge
who has presided over the
2010 suit. He inherited it in
early 2013, just a few months
after he was sworn in to the
federal bench.
At that time, court
record shows, Trump didn’t
object to Curiel being assigned and didn’t ask him to
recuse himself, a rare move
in federal courts but not
unheard of. In fact, a review
of the nearly 700 docket
entries lodged so far in both
cases show no formal motion that questioned his
impartiality or fairness.
Trump, nonetheless, has
been critical on the campaign trail and has said the
case should have been
thrown out long ago. Trump
University hasn’t accepted
any new students since 2010,
but this week — in the wake
of Curiel unsealing hundreds of pages of records,
many of which paint an
unflattering picture of the
business and how it was run
— Trump said he would
reopen it after he wins the
suit.
Curiel worked as a federal prosecutor in San Diego
from 1989 to 2002. For five
years, starting in 1996, he
was the coordinator of the
Arellano Felix task force,
staffed with four other
prosecutors and two dozen
federal agents. It was during
that time that investigators
were told by an informant
that Benjamin Arellano
Felix had approved a “hit,”
or murder contract, on
Curiel, Vega said. For a year,
Curiel lived under guard. He
was moved from his home to
the naval base in San Diego,
then for a time assigned to
San Francisco and Washington until the threat
abated, Vega said.
Curiel played a major
role in the campaign against
the Arellanos when he
worked to get top cartel
lieutenant Arturo “Kitty”
Paez Martinez extradited
from Mexico in 2001. It was
the first time that a Mexican
citizen had been extradited
to face charges here — a
precedent that cleared the
way for the continuing
extradition of drug figures
in the 15 years since.
“It was an absolutely
critical moment,” said Nathan Jones, an expert on
drug policy who has studied
the Arellano Felix cartel
extensively. “He’s one of the
first major traffickers they
[got], and he ended up
giving a window into the
whole organization.”
The cartel member’s
information eventually
became a 104-page affidavit
that was used in extradition
requests for other drug
leaders, including the Arellanos, in the following years.
“He broke open the case
for them,” Jones said.
In 2002, Curiel moved to
the U.S. attorney’s office in
Los Angeles, again prosecuting major narcotics
cases. He was appointed by
Republican Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger to the San
Diego County Superior
Court in 2006.
There, the former drug
prosecutor got a new assignment — working for three
years in family court. In an

average week, he dealt with
some 100 cases involving
child support, alimony and
dividing assets.
Family law attorney
Laura Miller appeared
before Curiel several times.
She said at first the family
law bar was concerned that
an inexperienced judge was
assigned to the often contentious court. Curiel
quickly put that to rest.
She said he was composed and calm at even the
most charged hearings.
“He really understood
the importance and significance of making rulings that
had a direct effect on people’s children, or their finances,” she said. “He was
extraordinarily fair.”
In November 2011 Curiel
— a Democrat — was
nominated to a seat on the
San Diego federal bench by
President Obama, then was
confirmed by the full Senate
the following August.
Some criminal defense
lawyers carefully watched
how the former drug
prosecutor would adapt to
his new, more powerful
assignment in the same
courthouse where he had
pursued drug traffickers.
“When he got appointed,
there was some trepidation
about a career prosecutor
who had himself been
threatened by the cartel,”
said San Diego criminal
defense attorney Jeremy
Warren. “But as it turns out,
he’s been a fair, openminded and independent
judge who’s a pleasure to
appear in front of.”
Trump has also attacked
Curiel by saying the judge
can’t be fair because he is a
former colleague of Jason
Forge, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, who worked in the
same U.S. attorney’s office
as Curiel. Forge told the Wall
Street Journal that although he “crossed paths”
with Curiel in the office a
decade ago, there is no
conflict.
Curiel is married to a
federal probation official
and has one child. He is also
a board member of the
Urban Discovery Academy,
a charter school in downtown San Diego.
Vega and Curiel have
known each other since 9th
grade. Both men come from
East Chicago, Ind. They
were born on the same day,
in the same year and in the
same hospital there.
Though they took different paths, both ended up in
the U.S. attorney’s office
here. Vega said his longtime
friend won’t let the Trump
attacks affect him.
“I honestly don’t think
it’s bothering him,” he said.
“He’s going to do his job,
stay focused and not let this
have any impact at all.”

FT. HOOD
DRILL
KILLED
2 FROM
REGION
By Frank Shyong

LOS ANGELES COUNTY firefighter Jeffrey Poster douses hot spots along Mulholland Highway in Calabasas. Much of the area’s
vegetation had not burned in more than 70 years and multiple years of drought left the mature brush extremely dry, a fire official said.
‘It was like ... a war movie’
The Old fire threatens
about 3,000 homes
and forces evacuation
of 5,000 residents.
By Rosanna Xia
When fire swept across
the hills around Calabasas
on Saturday night, Nikolay
Sartchadjiev stood as close
as he could on Old Topanga
Canyon Road, watching in
awe as firetrucks rushed up
the winding road to stop the
blaze from crossing the
street, where his martial
arts studio and a Montessori
school stood.
Firefighting helicopters
roared overhead, repeatedly
scooping up water from
Lake Calabasas as smoke
billowed high over the hills.
“It was like something
that you see in a war movie,”
Sartchadjiev said of the
dramatic scene. He and
other residents crowded
into a sushi restaurant down
the street and spent the
night glued to the television
news as flames threatened
homes in the usually idyllic
hillside community.
The couple sitting next to
him clung to their dog, he
said. “ ‘That’s my house,
that’s my house,’ they kept
saying, pointing to the [TV]
news. They didn’t know
what to think. They didn’t
have any time to get their belongings.
They
really
thought they were going to
see their home burn down.”
MARTY HALL, facilities supervisor for Calabasas, surveys damage at the city’s
Creekside Park Community Center. The fire was 80% contained by Sunday night.
The so-called Old fire
threatened about 3,000
homes at one point and
forced the mandatory evacuation of roughly 5,000 residents.
By Sunday evening, evacuation orders were lifted and
the fire was 80% contained,
officials said.
Sartchadjiev’s martial
arts studio was still intact.
But there was ash everywhere, and he could feel and
smell the charred ground of
the scorched hillside, less
than 30 feet away.
It was a relief the blaze
happened over the weekend,
he said. Calabasas High
School, which his son attends, was even closer to the
fire, and his daughter’s elementary school was also,
thankfully, empty.
“Imagine the panic and
stress if this was on a school
day,” he said.
Overnight,
the
high
school had been turned into
a command post for authorities and the more than 400
firefighters fighting the
blaze. Crews had to hike into
the steep and rocky hills in
90-degree heat to extinguish
hot spots over a “messy” 516acre patchwork burn area,
Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Randall
Wright said.
“It really stretched our
firefighters thin,” Wright
said. “When you put yourself
between those [hot] spots,
you could be in a really bad
place.”
Much of the vegetation
had not burned in more than
70 years and multiple years
of drought left the mature
brush extremely dry, he added.
One home was damaged
and one commercial building destroyed. Three firefighters were injured — two
sustained minor knee injuries while climbing the
rocky slopes and a third suf-
fered from cardiac issues,
Wright said, although he did
not elaborate.
A steady wind made the
blaze even more difficult to
control, with embers sparking more fires, he said.
The fire also charred several power poles and
knocked out electricity to 681
homes Saturday evening,
said Southern California Edison spokesman Robert Villegas.
Power was restored to all
but two homes by Sunday
morning.
Officials praised aggressive brush clearance by residents for preventing more
damage.
The blaze was actually
three separate fires that began about 4 p.m. Saturday
and eventually merged into
one large fire, officials said.
One of them appeared to
have started when a pickup
truck struck a power pole in
the 23700 block of Mulholland Highway, officials said.
A smoke advisory remained in effect Sunday. Air
quality in portions of the
western San Fernando
Valley and the northwest
coastal area of L.A. County
could reach unhealthful
levels in areas directly affected by smoke, the South
Coast Air Quality Management District said. Officials
urged children and adults to
cancel outdoor activities in
areas where smoke, soot or
ash were visible.

Charter group fights ‘wanding’ edict
Green Dot aims to
halt weapon search
policy that LAUSD
says bolsters safety.
By Zahira Torres
The box of hand-held
metal detectors arrived out
of the blue and without an
explanation in December.
Principal Kristin Botello
shoved them in a closet and
carried on with her work at
her South Los Angeles charter school.
Botello later learned the
box came with a mandate
that Animo Jackie Robinson
High School conduct random daily searches of its students with the wands. Los
Angeles Unified School District officials say the policy
protects students from
classmates who might be
carrying weapons.
The charter school and
its parent organization,
Green Dot Public Schools,
have refused to comply with
the requirement, arguing
that random searches will
undermine the safety that
comes from strong pupil-educator relationships.
The charter’s standoff
with district administrators
has drawn an unlikely ally in
United Teachers Los Angeles as both groups joined civil rights organizations to
craft a letter that was sent to
the district May 25 calling on
the district to revise or rescind the policy.
“We live and work in a
community where kids are
profiled every day by different forms of authority,
whether it’s police on the
street or by shop owners,”
Botello said.
School administrators
support safety, she said, but
question whether randomly

will achieve that objective.
Gun violence at schools
— from the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut to
Wednesday’s fatal shooting
of a UCLA professor by a former student who then committed suicide — has amplified the debate about campus safety measures.
Supporters
of
such
searches say they could help
prevent school shootings,
but critics argue that innocent children begin to resent
the constant threat of electronic frisking by authorities
whom they must trust if
they’re going to learn from
them. They also point to
what they characterize as an
overreaction to violence that
ushered in zero-tolerance
policies that led, for example, to the suspension of a 7year-old Tarzana Elementary School student who was
caught with an inch-long toy
gun on a keychain.
“It’s a delicate balance for
school administrators and
school police leaders,” said
Kenneth Trump, president
of the consulting firm National School Safety & Security Services.
The best way to protect
students is for trained teachers and administrators to
watch for signs that a student may be dangerous, he
said. “Far too many people
tend to look at metal detectors or any other hardware
as a quick fix.”
L.A. Unified officials say
the district’s wanding policy
has been in place since the
early 1990s, when a fatal
shooting at Fairfax High
School spurred then-Supt.
Sid Thompson to start random searches as a pilot program at all middle and high
schools.
In October, Los Angeles
Unified administrators revised the district’s wanding
policy to clearly state that
charter schools on district
property must conduct random daily searches with
metal detectors, but they argue that the revision simply
reinforced a requirement
that had always existed.
District officials cite an
incident last year in which
administrators found two
loaded guns on students
from Alliance Tennenbaum
Family Technology Charter
High School as an example
of why charter schools must
comply.
According to an LAUSD
report, nearly 840 weapons
were collected across the
district in the 2014-15 school
year. The report does not
specify how the weapons
were discovered.
David Holmquist, L.A.
Unified’s general counsel,
defended the wanding policy. He said critics have not
provided evidence that such
a policy is harmful or offered
better alternatives.
“Unless and until we
come up with a better policy,
to simply abandon a safety
measure in favor of nothing
or trying to build a culture of
trust that will hopefully discourage people from bringing guns on campus, is just
not the kind of situation that
I want to defend the district
on,” Holmquist said.
But schools across the
district implement the policy differently, with some
conducting daily searches
while others obey the policy
less frequently or ignore it altogether. At Animo Jackie
Robinson High, administrators said they didn’t know
the policy applied to their independently run campuses.
Nico Conanan, who attends Central High School,
said the policy has never
made him feel safer.
Last year, he was among
three students who were
randomly selected, removed
from class and scanned with
a metal detector.
“It was invasive,” Conanan said. “ All the students had established a relationship with the teacher …
and they just came in and
tarnished that.”
In its letter to the district,
a coalition that includes
charter schools, UTLA and
other groups asks the school
district for a moratorium on
the policy until it can be
changed.
It hopes that the school
board will consider the letter
at its next meeting.
Meanwhile, district officials say charter schools
must comply with the policy
or risk sanctions that can include revoking their ability
to continue operating.

Two of the nine soldiers
killed when a military truck
overturned in an overflowing creek on the Ft. Hood
military base in Texas last
week were Southern California residents, officials announced Sunday.
Spc. Christine Faith
Armstrong, a 27-year-old
motor transport operator,
was a resident of Twentynine Palms. Spc. Yingming
Sun, 25, was a resident of
Monterey Park.
Armstrong was born in
Camp Lejeune, N.C., to a father who was a Marine, said
her
sister
Tabatha
Yeampierre. The family
moved around a lot, living on
military bases in North Carolina, Arizona and Massachusetts before moving to
Twentynine Palms.
The sisters were “inseparable,” and they had both
talked about joining the military together to carry on
their father’s work, but
Yeampierre met her husband before it happened.
Armstrong, the youngest in
her family of five, enlisted on
her own at age 24.
She was a generous,
friendly person who always
tried to look after everyone
around
her,
said
Yeampierre, 30. She gave her
nephews piggyback rides
and was great with kids.
When they talked on the
phone to stay in touch, Armstrong always spent more
time talking about the people she was trying to help
and the problems they were
having, rather than her own,
Yeampierre said.
“If I could make people
see who she was, I’d want
them to know how kind and
generous and friendly and
happy she was,” Yeampierre
said.
During her career, Armstrong earned the National
Defense Service medal, the
Global War on Terrorism
Service Medal, the Korean
Defense Service Medal, the
Army Service Ribbon and
the Overseas Service Ribbon.
Sun, whose family could
not be reached for this article, was a heavy equipment
driver and joined the military in March 2013. He had
been stationed at Ft. Hood
since August 2014.
During his career, he
earned the National Defense
Service Medal, the Global
War on Terrorism Medal, the
Korea Defense Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon
and the Overseas Service
Ribbon.
Sun and Armstrong were
among a group of soldiers
who were training Thursday
in a wooded area along Owl
Creek about a dozen miles
north of the main post in an
11-ton Light Medium Tactical Vehicle, a flatbed truck
with a walled bed used to
carry troops. They were offroad, on a “tank trail,” traversing a low-water crossing
when they overturned about
11 a.m., Ft. Hood spokesman
Tyler Broadway said.
Although the tactical vehicle is equipped for tough
terrain, he added, “you can’t
underestimate what water
can do.”
Last week’s incident was
the latest tragedy to strike
Ft. Hood.
In November, four soldiers were killed when their
Black Hawk helicopter
crashed during a routine
training mission in a remote
area of the post.
Ft. Hood has been the
scene of two mass shootings.
Two years ago, Army Spc.
Ivan Lopez opened fire,
killing three people in addition to himself. And in 2009,
Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan attacked fellow
troops preparing to deploy
to Afghanistan, killing13 and
injuring more than 30. He
was convicted of murder and
sentenced to death.

THE STATE
State legislative races to watch
Democrats are trying
to regain their
supermajority in both
the Assembly and
Senate on Tuesday.
By Christine Mai-Duc
Second of two parts
Down-ticket races to
which Californians may be
paying less attention could
have a major effect in the
state by changing the makeup of the Legislature.
Though none of these
races will be decided Tuesday, and many will evolve
into all-out battles once the
primary is over, this week’s
vote will set the stage for the
competitive
landscape
heading into November.
There are 26 seats up for
grabs because of term limits
or lawmakers leaving office,
and 59 other incumbents are
defending their seats. Fifteen legislators are running
unopposed.
State Democrats are angling to restore their supermajority in both houses by
taking advantage of what
some expect will be sky-high
Democratic
voter
participation in the election.
And as California acclimates to more flexible term
limits and the top-two primary, interest groups are
spending a record amount
to influence legislative primaries — more than $24 million to date.
The prospect of a lopsided turnout combined
with the added visibility that
independent expenditures
are lending some races could
make for some surprising
outcomes,
said
Darry
Sragow, a veteran Democratic strategist and publisher of the California Target Book, which tracks state
races.
“All of those things together create an environment in the closing days
where outcomes that look
likely are clearly not certain,” Sragow said. “You
could wind up with some unexpected results.” That
could mean two Democrats
advancing to November in
what have historically been
swing districts, or a lesserknown candidate squeaking
past perceived front-runners locked in an internecine
battle.
Here are a few of the races
we’re watching:
Former lawmakers
seek to regain seats
The 2014 election saw a
handful of first-term Democrats lose their seats to
challengers. The roles are
now reversed as these
ousted members attempt to
reclaim their seats.
Assembly District 39
(San Fernando Valley)
The candidates: Assemblywoman Patty Lopez of San
Fernando; former Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra;
Mina Creswell, college administrator; San Fernando
Mayor Joel Fajardo; former
San Fernando City Councilwoman Joanne BaltierrezFernandez; and teacher
Kevin Suscavage (all Democrats)
The unlikely incumbent:
Lopez has been on the defensive for months, fighting
calls to step down shortly
after she scored the biggest
upset last cycle. She beat
Bocanegra by just 466 votes
after minimal campaigning,
and her improbable win
became a cautionary tale for
incumbents on the dangers
of running a complacent
campaign. As a result, many
more lawmakers who appear to be safe reelection
bets have been stockpiling
campaign funds this year,
observers say. Despite
proving to be one of the
most reliable Democratic
votes in the Legislature,
Lopez has seen many of her
colleagues coalesce around
Bocanegra, who also has the
backing of the California
Democratic Party.
The money: Lopez trails
Bocanegra in spending by a
10-1 ratio. Outside groups
including oil companies and
the California Charter
Schools Assn. have spent
more than $500,000 in the
primary, supporting Bocanegra and opposing
Lopez. With Democrats
making up more than half of
registered voters, the November election likely will
be a rematch between
Lopez and Bocanegra and
could blow much of the
conventional wisdom about
an incumbent’s advantage
out of the water.
(Orange County)
The candidates: Assemblywoman Young Kim (RFullerton); and former
Assemblywoman Sharon
Quirk-Silva, a Democrat
The rundown: This district
has been up for grabs between the two parties in the
last few elections. QuirkSilva was first elected in
2012, beating out GOP incumbent Chris Norby by
just four points. Quirk-Silva
lost the seat to Kim in 2014 in
a costly race where spending approached $7 million.
In a district where Democrats and Republicans are
virtually tied in voter registration, the seat is likely a
top priority for Assembly
Republicans to defend —
and for Democrats to try to

man Scott Wilk (R-Santa
Clarita); Democrats

and Republican business
owner Starr Moffatt
An 11th-hour opening: The
last-minute announcement
by Sen. Sharon Runner
(R-Lancaster) that she
would not seek reelection
for health reasons opened
up this competitive northern L.A. County district
where Republicans and
Democrats are nearly
evenly split. Wilk threw his
hat in the day after Runner
bowed out and has received
substantial support from
the state GOP in his bid to
keep this seat in their
column. The California
Democratic Party and
Senate Pro Tem Kevin de
León have endorsed Ervin,
an engineer and Air Force
reservist who formerly
served on the Lancaster
Planning Commission.
Moffatt, who recently revealed on her campaign
website that she posed for
nude photos in the past, and
Hill, who has raised about
$5,200 this cycle, are not
expected to mount viable
campaigns.
The money: Despite his late
entry, Wilk has raised more
money, spending nearly
$200,000 and receiving support from a wide range of
business groups. Oil companies and the real estate
industry have spent an
additional $210,000 opposing
Ervin and promoting Wilk.
This race looks like it will be
decided in November, so
depending on the outcome
of other races Tuesday,
Democrats could be gearing
up for an expensive fight
over this seat.
pickup opportunity” for
Assembly Democrats and
promised to spend what it
takes to win the seat. Democrats view this race as their
best chance to take back
one of the three seats they
need to restore their supermajority in the lower house.
The district, which is centered on Contra Costa
County, has a slight Democratic edge in voter registration. Baker has built a
record as a fiscal conservative and a social moderate,
bucking the GOP to vote for
Gov. Jerry Brown’s climate
change legislation and
co-authoring California’s
mandatory vaccination bill.
The money: Baker has
raised nearly $1.6 million
this election, more than
three times her opponent.
Business and interest
groups, including one
funded largely by businessman Charles Munger Jr.,
have spent nearly $500,000
in independent
expenditures to back Baker
and oppose Cook-Kallio.
Labor unions, which spent
more than $1.8 million supporting the last Democrat
who faced Baker, have yet to
kick in the same funding
this time. But with just two
in the race, Democrats and
their allies could be saving
up to spend big come November.
Senate District 29
(Orange County)
The candidates: Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang
(R-Diamond Bar); and two
Democrats: former Irvine
Mayor Sukhee Kang and
nonprofit founder Josh
Newman
The rundown: The two
Asian American frontrunners on opposite sides of
the aisle could battle it out
through November in a
purple district where Asians
make up 20% of registered
voters.
Kang, who emigrated
from Korea in the 1970s,
served as Irvine’s mayor
from 2008 to 2012 and unsuccessfully challenged thenRep. John Campbell in the
45th Congressional District.
The Democratic establishment, including Lt. Gov.
Gavin Newsom and Rep.
Alan Lowenthal (D-Long
Beach), has lined up to
endorse Kang for this seat,
where Republicans hold
a 37%-34% voter registration advantage. Senate
District 29 includes much of
Chang’s current Assembly
district.
The money: Kang has
struggled to keep pace with
Chang’s fundraising, but
the two candidates have
spent roughly the same
amount. Chang has benefited from independent
expenditures from the
California Assn. of Realtors
and the California Dental
Assn. Newman is trailing his
opponents significantly in
fundraising.
Senate District 21
(Antelope Valley)
The candidates: Assembly-

TWENTY-SIX seats are up for grabs because of term limits or lawmakers leaving
office, 59 incumbents are defending their seats and 15 lawmakers are unopposed.
recapture.
The money: Quirk-Silva,
who now teaches elementary school, has raised less
than half of Kim’s $1.1 million, but the teachers unions
and environmental groups
that supported Quirk-Silva
last time could be lying low
until after the primary.
(L.A. County’s South Bay)
The candidates: Assemblyman David Hadley (RManhattan Beach); and
former Assemblyman Al
Muratsuchi and retail manager Mike Madrigal, both
Democrats
The rundown: Hadley
narrowly won this competitive district in 2014, ousting
Muratsuchi by a little
more than 700 votes.
During an election year
dominated by Trump and in
a district that has historically favored moderates,
Muratsuchi’s campaign has
set up a website called
hadleytrump.com with
audio and video of Hadley
being confronted about
whether he would support
the presumptive Republican nominee.
The money: Political observers have said Hadley
was possibly the most vulnerable Republican in the
Legislature, and his $1.4
million in fundraising could
be evidence he agrees. Muratsuchi has far less money
banked than his Republican
opponent, but all signs
point to an expensive all-out
battle between Democrats
and Republicans if these
two advance to November
as expected. Madrigal has
raised no money so far.
Best shots at
a supermajority
Democrats need to pick
up at least three seats in the
Assembly, on top of maintaining recent gains, to get
to a supermajority. In the
Senate, Democrats need to
flip only one seat to reach
the two-thirds threshold,
which would give Democrats a virtual free pass to
propose and pass new
spending or place issues on
the ballot.
Two of the rematches
between Democrats who
were ousted last cycle and
Republican incumbents
may prove fruitful for the
majority party, but here are
a few others:
(East Bay)
The candidates: Assemblywoman Catharine Baker
(R-San Ramon); and
teacher Cheryl Cook-Kallio,
a Democrat
Both sides take aim: Both
conservative interest
groups and the Democratic
leadership have made it
clear that this is a top priority for 2016. Assembly
Speaker Anthony Rendon
(D-Paramount) said this
year that the seat was a “top

Snubbed incumbent struggles
Assemblywoman Patty
Lopez stunned everyone in
the Sacramento establishment when she defeated incumbent Raul Bocanegra in
2014 by 466 votes after running a bare-bones campaign
funded in part by selling
tamales and pozole.
Two years later, Lopez is
running in a competitive primary as an incumbent herself but has few of the advantages incumbents typically
enjoy.
A half-dozen of Lopez’s
colleagues have endorsed
Bocanegra in his comeback
attempt, and he’s the most
formidable of her five Democratic challengers Tuesday.
The California Latino Caucus, of which Lopez is a
member, has endorsed them
both. And although Bocanegra has been out of office for
two years, he has managed
to raise nearly 10 times as
much money as Lopez. He
also earned the influential
California Democratic Party
endorsement.
“I don’t feel respected as
a member,” Lopez told The
Times in a phone interview.
“I’m a Democrat, a 100%,
progressive Democrat, and
I’ve proven it. To treat me
this way, it’s unfair.”
Lopez has several endorsements and campaign
contributions from fellow
Assembly Democrats, including a nod from Speaker
Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount), who took over the
post in March.
But with days left until
the election, Rendon has not
campaigned with Lopez. On
the last Saturday before the
primary, as she was busy
crisscrossing her district
asking for votes, Rendon
was not far away, appearing
on stage in Sylmar with Bocanegra at a labor union
rally. He gave his former colleague a subtle nod for his
work on the 2014 water bond,
much of it from pro-business
interest groups and corporations. He has endorsements from the Democratic
Party of the San Fernando
Valley, a third of the members of the L.A. City Council
and state law enforcement
and firefighter unions. He’s
also benefited from more
than $660,000 in independent expenditures supporting him and opposing Lopez,
mostly by the California
Assn. of Realtors, the California Charter Schools
Assn. and oil companies.
Lopez has raised about
$70,000 and has endorsements from labor heavyweights such as the California Nurses Assn. and the
SEIU. She said she feels
“really uncomfortable” raising money for politics, and
has spent more than $12,000
of her donations on civic donations to local groups,
twice the amount she’s
spent on campaign mailers.
Turnover in her office has
been high and much of her
staff comes from outside the
Sacramento establishment.
Jim Leahy, her third and current chief of staff, was previously a manager at a CVS
store.
Lopez, who was born in
Mexico and speaks sometimes halting, thickly accented English, often calls
herself “a simple woman
with simple values” and is almost militant about her
status as an outsider. She
ran last time, she has said, as
a way to challenge “the system to listen to us.”
Bocanegra, she said,
“represents money. He represents business. But I represent the people.”
Bocanegra does not like
the front-runner label and
told The Times that he
doesn’t have the luxury of a
full-time official staff to address
the
needs
of
constituents. He said the
district has not been “wellserved”
under
Lopez’s
watch.
“When your legislative
accomplishments are a couple of bills that really don’t
do anything for a part of Los
Angeles that has historically
been underserved, that’s unacceptable,” he said. “So I’m
running, and I’m running
like it’s my first time.”
After lunch was a meetand-greet over coffee, and
then plans to ride through
the district in a firetruck
with the head of the Los Angeles firefighters union.
It’s quite a departure
from what he was doing the
last time he was on the ballot. The final weekend before
he lost his seat, Bocanegra
was on a bus tour outside the
district with Democratic
leaders, bolstering cam-
paigns for fellow incumbents perceived to be vulnerable just days before he was
ousted by a political novice.
On the campaign trail
this time, Bocanegra has frequently touted his central
role in the 2014 film tax credit
bill. He said he’s eager to
work on transportation, education and other pressing
issues for the district if
voters
return
him to
Sacramento.
The other candidates are
Mina Creswell, who chairs a
veterans organization, San
Fernando Mayor Joel Fajardo, former San Fernando
councilwoman
Joanne
Baltierre-Fernandez
and
Ken Suscavage, a substitute
teacher who previously ran
for the seat.
Lopez
says
pundits
shouldn’t count her out.
“If I did it one time, with
less than I have now, I can do
it again,” she said.

Rendon’s trademark bill.
“It’s just awkward, in general. It’s a very unique race in
that we all, most of us …
know Raul and worked with
Raul,” Rendon said.
Democratic Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown of
nearby San Bernardino
faces her own stiff challenge
from within the party — and
Rendon has rallied by her
side twice in the last two
weeks. Brown got the state
party endorsement.
Rendon told The Times
that his hands are tied by a
state party rule that bars the
caucus from using resources
to help elect a candidate who
hasn’t been endorsed. (The
rule does not prohibit him
and other caucus members
from
personally
contributing to Lopez’s campaign or campaigning for
Lopez.)
“It’s a difficult race for us.
I mean, we always try to protect our incumbents, but Ms.
Lopez didn’t get the endorsement of the party and
that limits our ability to
help,” he said.
Not everyone buys that
argument.
Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens), a Lopez mentor who
says she’s had “many conversations” with Rendon encouraging him to help his
colleague, says the speaker
could ask more members to
contribute money or volunteers to Lopez. “Those are
the things you don’t need the
party endorsement for,
those are the things we can
do for each other as members.”
Those are tactics former
Speaker John A. Perez was
not shy about using, says
Andrew Acosta, a Democratic consultant. In 2012, for
instance, Perez sent a memo
to his caucus asking members to contribute to some of
its most vulnerable incumbents, rewarding those who
gave the most. Perez reportedly also threatened to
punish those who became
involved in races he deemed
off-limits.
Nine legislators have
contributed money to or endorsed Bocanegra. He’s
raised more than $640,000,

about a system in which
they sometimes are stuck
with just one party —
usually Democratic — to
choose from in November?
Not surprisingly, Democrats and independents like
it much better than Republicans.
In the USC/Times poll,
the top-two primary was
favored 51% to 41% among all
voters. But among Democrats and independents,
56% supported it, but only
37% of Republicans did.
The goal of the open

pragmatic centrists who
are less inclined to gridlock.
To win, candidates need
to appeal to a wide range of
voters. In the primary, that
means not just pandering to
party ideologues. And in
the general, the more moderate candidate — Sanchez
in the Senate race — can
seek support from the other
party. Once elected, those
candidates are more apt to

That was the theory.

Democrats.
“We’re also beginning to
see the effects in the
Senate,” Wilson says.
Democratic consultant
David Townsend, who
advises moderates, says,
“It’s like night and day.
There now are 23 Democrats who are willing to
listen to anyone on issues
about jobs and the economy.”
Democratic strategist
Garry South argues that
California has become such
a blue state that a
Democrat is guaranteed
victory in most races.
Better to have two to choose
from, he says, than one
strong Democrat and a
weak Republican.
But conservative Jon
Fleischman, an influential
blogger and former state
Republican official, detests
the top-two system.
“It reduces voter choice
in November when most
voters turn out,” he argues.
“It creates an election with
two candidates who are
ideologically similar. Explain to me how Sanchez
and Harris are different. I
won’t vote for either. Both
want Hillary Clinton to be
Employment
president.
“What’s missing for my
party is a mechanism to
consolidate behind one
candidate.”
The GOP had better
figure out a way, says research fellow Bill Whalen of
Stanford’s Hoover Institution, a former speechwriter
for Republican Gov. Pete
Wilson.
He’s not ready to judge
the top-two system yet.
“But it does force your
party to do a better job of
organizing, to get better
candidates and limit the
field,” Whalen says.
“The Republican Party
needs to step up its game.
Democrats seem to have
their act together. Republicans have to adopt their
message to changing times
in California [and] not be
running on bitterness and
anger.
“It’s political Darwinism,” he adds. “Adapt or
die.”
In California, the party is
dying. And on Tuesday, its
weak Senate pulse is likely
to flatline.

the first election when its
effects will probably be felt
in a statewide contest.
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer’s pending retirement provided a rare opening for ambitious
politicians. And the California GOP has fallen on
such bad times it no longer
seems able to compete
statewide.
Democrats account for
44.8% of registered voters,
and Republicans only
27.3%. Unaffiliated independent voters — registered as “no party
preference” — are 23.3%,
and they lean strongly
Democratic.
Republicans are badly
outnumbered in the state’s
congressional delegation
and both legislative houses.
But they’re still strong in
some regions.
In fact, there were seven
congressional and legislative races in 2014 — out
of 153 total — where both
general election finalists
were Republicans. In 17
races, however, both runoff
contestants were Democrats.
So how do voters feel

An age split among black voters
[Divide, from B1]
Among all younger minority
voters, he led 59% to 32%.
Clinton’s lead was large
among older voters — 64% to
20% among minority voters
50 and older, according to
the poll.
Although
there
is
virtually no possibility of
Sanders’ winning the Democratic nomination — Clinton
probably will clinch the
nomination before California’s votes are counted —
Sanders hopes a strong
showing here will give him
more influence going into
the Democratic National
Convention in Philadelphia.
Erin Aubry Kaplan, 54,
author of “I Heart Obama”
and an Inglewood resident,
said Hillary Clinton has not
resonated with African
Americans as her husband
did. “Bill was comfortable
with black people,” she said.
“He seemed empathetic,
and to symbolize something
I hadn’t felt in my voting lifetime. She is not Bill Clinton.”
On the other hand, some
black voters say they have
reassessed the Bill Clinton
presidency in a way that is
not beneficial to Hillary.
“I look at the African
American communities today and see how across the
country we’ve regressed,”
Magalis Videaux, 45, said
outside a Black Men for
Bernie bus in Leimert Park
recently. “Not us as a people,
but our communities are experiencing distress. I look
back at some of the policies
that came from the Clinton
era, and it feels like they had
deep-lasting negative impact.”
She voted for Bill Clinton
twice. But Videaux said she
would not be voting for a
Clinton this time.
Videaux said it was her
15-year-old son, Santiago
Al Seib Los Angeles Times
BRUCE CARTER, founder of Black Men for Bernie, talks to supporters at L.A. City Hall. Bernie Sanders
leads Hillary Clinton among younger minority voters, according to a new USC Dornsife/L.A. Times poll.
Sloan, who pushed her to
take a look at Sanders. The
more she and the teenager
studied the two Democratic
candidates, the more Videaux’s son started to dislike the former first lady.
He stumbled across a
1996 speech, heavily publicized by Sanders backers,
in which the former first lady
spoke in support of the 1994
Violent Crime Control Act,
commonly referred to as the
crime bill.
“They are not just gangs
of kids anymore,” she said.
“They are often the kinds of
kids that are called ‘super-
predators.’ No conscience,
no empathy. We can talk
about why they ended up
that way, but first we have to
bring them to heel.”
For some blacks, including Videaux and her son,
those remarks 20 years ago
disparaged black children.
The rhetoric hit home for
Santiago, a black teen who
sports an urban prep look, a
fitted hoodie, a mini Afro
and Chuck Taylors.
“Let’s bring young superpredators to heel!” Santiago
said, incredulous. “I instantly thought of Trayvon
Martin, Tamir Rice and
Michael Brown, and that
just shook me.”
His opposition to Clinton
proved contagious, inspiring his mother to support
Sanders.
Clinton’s supporters, including the former president
as well as some prominent
black elected officials, say
that critics are wrongly viewing the crime policies of an
earlier era through a contemporary lens. When the
1994 law passed, it was
heavily supported by black
mayors and other officials
concerned about soaring homicide rates in minority
communities.
Older African Americans
remember living through
the violence and drug epidemic of the 1990s and are
more likely to understand
the motivations behind the
Clinton-era crime policies,
Schnur said.
“A younger voter, just as
smart and just as well read,
didn’t experience that time
period firsthand,” he added.
A generation later, Anthony Samad, host of the Urban Issues Forum, a Los Angeles roundtable that discusses issues that affect the
black community, said that
many on the left no longer
view the Clintons as a force
for progressive ideology.
“What is the incentive
then for us to support Hillary after we find out that she’s
not really speaking the language of the masses?”
Samad said. “There’s a perception that she’s inauthentic and partners with the
status quo, which is corporate interest.”
Kenneth Finch, 49, of
Ladera Heights said his beliefs align with Sanders’, but
fears Sanders doesn’t have
the support to win in a
match
against
Donald
Trump.
“I like Bernie,” said
Finch, as he sat atop his
sleek Yamaha motorcycle.
“He has the right idea, but
I’m more of a chess player,
and any effort to support
Bernie at this time point is a
vote of Trump.”
Darryn Harris, president
of the Black Los Angeles
Young Democrats, said his
club of 75 members chose
not to endorse a candidate
because of the 10 board
members’ split vote. Older,
more established members
turned out for Clinton, and
recent college graduates decided to vote for Sanders.
Despite the split, some of
the members — worried
about a Trump presidency
— felt Clinton was the only
candidate who could stop
the wealthy New York
businessman from becoming president.
“Not that she’s the candidate that we really believe
in,” Harris, 32, of Echo Park
said. “It makes for a very interesting dinner conversation with our parents because our parents are
mostly going with Hillary.”

into platters of crab, squid
and oysters. After the attorney general cooed over the
infant she was holding,
Krystle Green, 29, of Ontario, said she plans to vote for
Harris on Tuesday.
On
Sunday,
Harris
traveled across Los Angeles
with a caravan of political
heavyweights
attending
services at a string of predominantly
African
American churches.
Even though Tuesday is
only the primary, some of
Harris supporters were already looking down the road
of her political future. As she
walked out of the First
African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Los Angeles, the Rev. J. Edgar Boyd
turned to her and said to her:
“By the way, we’ll need somebody to replace Hillary Clinton in eight years.”
On Saturday, the congresswoman was focused on
handshakes and chitchat.
She stopped off at an outdoor classic car show in
Whittier, speeding through
the crowd and posing for
snapshots. Sanchez urged
attendees to vote for her
Tuesday, warning them “it’s
a long, long list of candidates
— 34 of them.”
“You have to make sure to
find my name, Sanchez,
OK?” she asked Natalie
Robles.
Robles said she appreciated Sanchez being there.
“She’s actually coming
down to our level and making contact with the people,”
said Robles, who added that
she is still undecided.
Sanchez bounced from
shaking hands in Inglewood
to asking for votes in Spanish in downtown Los Angeles and mingling in restaurants in West Hollywood on
Sunday.
She spoke with the dozen
or so people waiting in line at
Randy’s Donuts in Inglewood as her staff passed out
water bottles and tote bags.
Capitalizing on a captive
audience, Sanchez visited
cars in the drive-through
line, leaning against their
windows and asking people
how many doughnuts they
were going to buy. She lamented not having time to
get in line herself.
Del Beccaro dropped by
Birds Landing Hunting Preserve & Sporting Clays, a
shooting range an hour’s
drive from Sacramento, on
Saturday during a charity
sport shooting event by the
California Dental Association Foundation. The
conservative Walnut Creek
attorney, a former chairman
of the state Republican
Party, boasted of being the
only candidate with an Arating by the National Rifle
Assn.
“I went hunting with my
dad. They’re going to try to
close us down, to take away a
sport from our youth,” said
dentist Doug Gordon, at the
range Saturday. “Tom has
my vote.”
Sundheim spent the
weekend walking voter
precincts
with
Orange
County Republicans near
Stanton and dropping by
Torrance’s monstrous Del
Amo Fashion Center mall
Sunday.
The Silicon Valley attorney also served as a chairman of the state Republican
Party. He doesn’t have much
money to play with — raising
just $620,000 as of mid-May.
Still, it was enough to buy
time for a radio ad campaign, which starting airing
statewide last week.
Sundheim also is being
backed by two independent
expenditure
campaigns,
both with ties to GOP megadonor Charles Munger Jr.,
one of the top benefactors
for Republicans in California.
Del Beccaro has raised
just $297,000 but has been
boosted by the Tea Party Express, the Howard Jarvis
Taxpayers Assn. and other
conservative groups.
Republican Ron Unz’s
eclectic, shoestring campaign remained true to form
all weekend — he spent the
time reading books and articles on immigration policy.
He said in an email that
he plans to hold an electionnight party in San Francisco
but doesn’t expect much interest because he is such a
long shot: “Given the current polls I doubt they’ll be
any need to provide access
for the TV cameras.”

LAPD jailers failed on cell safety checks
[Checks, from B1]
ment. “Most importantly,
once these issues were identified, the department immediately worked with the
inspector general to fix
them.”
Bustamante’s
report
outlined a series of recommendations, including revising LAPD policy to specifically require jailers to enter cellblocks and conducting routine audits to ensure
the checks are properly being made.
The LAPD also distributed a notice reminding jail
staff of the “profound importance and significance” of
making safety checks in a
“timely and thorough manner,” and was revising training to include more emphasis on state and department
regulations.
Bustamante’s findings
were based on an analysis of
264 hours of footage from jail
security cameras, which his
office cross-checked with
paper logs used to note the
date and time of the halfhour checks along with the
name of the officer conducting the check and the number of inmates in each cellblock.
“The logs were found to
contain inaccurate information with regard to the time
of the checks and the number of inmates present,”
Bustamante wrote.
As a result, the report
said, the LAPD was working
to replace the paper logs
with an electronic system.
The LAPD did not respond to requests for comment Friday afternoon.
Irfan Khan Los Angeles Times
LISA HINES, center, joins Black Lives Matter members at a news conference. Her daughter, Wakiesha Wil-
son, 36, died at a nearby hospital after she was found unconscious in her jail cell the morning of March 27.
LAPD jails temporarily
house people who have been
arrested, usually before they
have been charged or convicted of any crimes. The department’s facilities are
separate from Los Angeles
County jails, which are run
by the Sheriff ’s Department.
The county jails are under
federal court oversight after
complaints that mentally ill
inmates were mistreated
and
other
inmates
physically abused.
Bustamante’s
report
comes two weeks after the
Police
Commission
reviewed a June 2015 death at
the LAPD’s Pacific Jail,
where concerns over cell
checks
prompted
an
internal investigation into
detention officers.
According to a report
Chief Charlie Beck sent to
the
commission,
video
footage from Bernard Maurer’s cell showed the 52-yearold’s body slide between a
wall and a bunk bed as he
went
into
convulsions.
Coroner’s officials determined Maurer suffocated —
listing epilepsy as a second
cause of death — and Beck
and the Police Commission
determined the officers’ actions didn’t contribute to his
death.
Beck’s report, however,
revealed that although jail
logs said Maurer’s cell was
checked at 12:30 p.m. and
again at 12:55 p.m., the video
showed only one check occurred during that time — at
12:47 p.m., when a detention
officer saw Maurer wedged
between the bunk and wall.
Officers last saw Maurer
about 45 minutes earlier, the
report said, when one served
him lunch at 12:01 p.m. The
video showed Maurer began
convulsing at 12:15 p.m., according to Beck’s report.
The investigation into
Maurer’s death revealed detention officers had signed
jail logs indicating cell
checks had been made when
they had in fact been missed
or hadn’t happened yet. A
personnel complaint was
initiated against the officers,
launching an internal affairs
investigation.
The LAPD has recently
drawn criticism over the
death of a woman who authorities say hanged herself
inside the Metropolitan Detention Center. Wakiesha
Wilson, 36, died at a nearby
hospital after she was found
unconscious in her cell the
morning of March 27.
Wilson’s family learned
about her death only after
she didn’t appear in court
days later.
Department critics have
packed the weekly Police
Commission
meetings,
chanting Wilson’s name as
they demanded more information about the events
leading up to her death. The
LAPD has provided few details outside of an initial
statement about the case,
citing the ongoing investigation that is standard protocol for all deaths that occur
in police custody.
An LAPD statement said
jailers found Wilson “unconscious and not breathing”
while conducting a safety
check. The statement did
not detail how much time
had elapsed since jailers previously checked her cell.
Coroner’s officials have
classified Wilson’s death as a
suicide. Her autopsy report
has not yet been released; a
coroner’s spokesman said
Friday that officials were
waiting for the results of
toxicology tests.

OAKLAND — Somehow,
the Cleveland Cavaliers are
in worse shape than a year
ago. Much worse.
LeBron James is healthy
and Kyrie Irving too, but the
Cavaliers were swamped
again by the Golden State
Warriors, 110-77, Sunday in

Draymond Green scored
28 points on a night Golden

quarters despite limited input from NBA most valuable
player Stephen Curry, who
battled foul trouble.
This would be considered
a bad development for
Cleveland, one of many.

The Cavaliers shot abysmally again, 35% on Sunday
after 38% accuracy in a 15point Game 1 loss.
Adding to Cleveland’s
deepening woes, Kevin Love
left in the third quarter after
getting accidentally elbowed
in the head in the second
quarter by Warriors forward
Harrison Barnes. He complained of dizziness and was
placed on the NBA concussion protocol.
Game 3 is Wednesday in
Cleveland, otherwise known
as the Cavaliers’ last stand.
No team in NBA history has
ever come back from a 3-0
deficit to win a playoff series.

HIS STAKE
IN THE GAME
Phil D’Amato is getting Wild About Deb ready for the Belmont,
but there’s a big development in his family life as well
BY JOHN CHERWA
Quietly and assuredly, Phil D’Amato has become the
most successful trainer at Santa Anita. He’s not flashy, he
hasn’t had a Kentucky Derby horse, and people don’t generally recognize him.
On Saturday, he is expected to take a step forward in
his career when he saddles Wild About Deb in the Belmont Stakes, the first horse he’s entered in a Triple Crown
race.
But that’s just the warmup to his extended weekend.
He has to hustle back home because at 11 a.m. on June 13,
he and fiancee Sherri Marr will stand before a judge in Los
Angeles County Superior Court to legally become the two
most important people in a 7-year-old boy’s life.
D’Amato’s rise from longtime assistant trainer for
Mike Mitchell to winning the winter meet training title at
Santa Anita is laced with equal parts hard work, racing
luck and improbability. Meanwhile, the young boy, named
Ryan, has had less luck, bouncing among foster homes.
Ryan is the son of Marr’s ex-husband, whom she divorced 16 years ago when her daughter, Jessie, was a year
old.

But he was brought back to

Sunday he used all three,

break a tie and lift Mexico to
3-1 victory over Uruguay before a heavily pro-Mexico
crowd of 60,025 at University

Mexico also got a firsthalf own goal and a secondhalf stoppage-time score
from Hector Herrera to extend its unbeaten streak to
20 games, the longest current streak in international
soccer.

Djokovic completes a career Slam
The top seed defeats
Murray in four sets to
capture his first
French Open title.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC poses with his trophy after
defeating Andy Murray in the French Open final.
PARIS — A French Open
champion at long last, and
the first man in nearly a halfcentury to win four consecutive major championships,
Novak Djokovic grabbed a
racket and etched a heart in
the very red clay that had
given him such heartache in
the past.
Then, when he finally was
handed the La Coupe des
Mousquetaires — the one
trophy he truly yearned for,
the one he needed to complete a career Grand Slam —
Djokovic held it overhead,
his eyes shut, before kissing
it, exhaling and smiling
broadly. Later, Djokovic’s father and friends sipped
champagne from it.
In his 12th appearance at
Roland Garros, and fourth
final,
the
top-seeded
Djokovic earned that elusive
title with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4
victory over No. 2 Andy Murray on Sunday, buoyed by a
supportive crowd that re-
peatedly chanted his nickname, “No-le!”
“It’s really a very special
moment,” Djokovic said.
“Perhaps the greatest moment of my career.”
Since losing the 2015 final
in Paris, Djokovic has won 28
Grand Slam matches in a
row, from Wimbledon and
the U.S. Open last year, to
the Australian Open in January, and now, after quite a
wait, the French Open.
“This is something that is
so rare in tennis,” said Murray, who is now 2-8 in Grand
Slam finals. “It’s going to
take a long time for it to happen again.”
The last man to hold all
four
major
titles
simultaneously was Rod Laver in 1969, when he earned a
calendar-year Grand Slam.
Djokovic now can set his
sights on that ultimate tennis achievement; he’s the
first man since Jim Courier
in 1992 to get halfway.
Djokovic, a 29-year-old
from Serbia, owns six titles
from the Australian Open,
three from Wimbledon and
two from the U.S. Open for a
Grand Slam total of 12.
Among men, only Roger
Federer (with 17), Rafael
Nadal (14) and Pete Sampras (14) have more.
Djokovic is also one of eight
men with at least one championship at each major.
“He’s there, for sure —
one of the best now,” said
Marian Vajda, Djokovic’s cocoach with Boris Becker, one
of the many stars of the
sport who never won the
French Open. “Hard to say
who’s the greatest.”
Of Djokovic’s 11 career
losses at Roland Garros, six
came against Nadal, one
against Federer. Three came
in finals, against Nadal in
2012 and 2014, and against
Stan Wawrinka a year ago,
when Djokovic’s eyes welled
with tears and the arena
feted him with an unusually
long ovation as he accepted
his runner’s-up plate.
Djokovic’s 2016 path was
unencumbered by any member of that trio: Federer
withdrew before the tournament and Nadal before the
third round, both citing injury; Wawrinka lost to Murray.
Still, Djokovic’s most imposing adversary might very
well have been the knowledge that the tournament
that meant the most to him
was the only tournament he
couldn’t conquer.
Until now.
“Winning it, you know, I
felt it,” Djokovic said. “I felt
the tension and excitement.
All the emotions. You name
it.”
On Sunday the first choruses of “No-le! No-le!” accompanied Djokovic’s entrance to the court. They
echoed when he skipped to
the baseline for the opening
game — and, louder still,
when he broke to start.
It sounded as if this were
Belgrade, rather than a neutral site, and Murray complained that spectators were
calling out between serves.
They really raised a
ruckus when a Murray serve
was called a fault by a linesman, immediately overruled
by chair umpire Damien Dumusois. Because Djokovic’s
return was out, Dumusois
declared Murray led, 30love. Djokovic wanted the
point replayed. Loud boos
and whistles from the
stands delayed play for a full
minute.
Murray, trying to become
Britain’s first male champion in Paris since 1935, soon
closed the opening set.
Djokovic was off — “Nerves
kicked in,” he acknowledged
afterward — and his forehand offered up seven unforced errors before Murray
made one.

BRADLEY PREBAY of Murrieta Mesa scores in a Southern Sectional semifinal, sliding past West Ranch’s
Cade Spurlin. Mesa won, then defeated Harvard-Westlake on Saturday in the championship game.
Taking an unconventional route
to a Southern Section title
Murrieta Mesa makes
unorthodox moves
and winds up with
Division 1 crown.

All hail the Inland Empire and the 210, 91, 71, 15 and
215 freeways that helped
families and fans discover
the hottest area, literally
and figuratively, for high
school sports in 2015-16.
It was a little past 11:05 on
Saturday night in scorching
San Bernardino when Murrieta Mesa won the Southern Section Division 1 baseball championship with a
3-2, 10-inning victory over
Studio City Harvard-Westlake.
It took 3 hours 36
minutes for the most unorthodox team to finally
prevail. In a prep baseball
season with plenty of surprises, the biggest of all was
a school that had never even
made the playoffs before
winning the toughest division in Southern California.
“We do a lot of unorthodox things, but they work
out in the end,” pitcherthird baseman Zac Filos
said. “We all play for each
other, and that’s what
counts. We’re all brothers.”
Imagine this scenario:
Harvard-Westlake is 90 feet
away from victory, with a
runner on third and two
outs in the bottom of the
eighth. There are two
strikes on the batter.
That’s when Murrieta
Mesa Coach Bryn Wade
ordered consecutive intentional walks to load the
bases. The Twitter world of
coaches and fans went nuts.
But Matt Thomas hit a fly
ball for the third out, and
the game played on.
A CELEBRATION follows Murrieta Mesa’s extra-inning victory over West
Ranch, but a bigger feat would soon follow — the title-game win.
Wade, who pulled his
right fielder after he
dropped a fly ball in the
same inning, is a 40-year-old
second-year coach and third
cousin of Jackie Robinson.
He talks to people in the
stands during games.
“That’s my coping mechanism,” he said. “Those
games aren’t easy to get
through.”
He pulls pitchers faster
than a dentist pulls teeth.
By the second inning, Murrieta Mesa was on its third
pitcher.
“It’s just part of what we
do,” Wade said. “It’s fairness. The kids are prepared
to own their moment.”
Wade knows something,
because that third pitcher
he called upon, Kevin Palm,
shut out Harvard-Westlake
for 71⁄3 innings with brilliant
relief pitching.
It was the top of the 10th
inning when the Rams did
what they do best — bunt.
Reserve Andrew Dunkel put
down the squeeze to score
Filos from third base to
break the 2-2 tie.
Minutes later, Filos got
the game-ending strikeout
and suddenly players were
charging onto the field,
water was being thrown
everywhere and some people were shaking their heads
at what they had just seen.
During the awards presentation, Wade took off his
jersey to reveal a T-shirt
with bearing a Jackie Robinson illustration. The man
truly believes in the virtues
of Robinson, and his players
clearly care about their
coach.
“I love him to death,”
Filos said. “He’s like a second father to us.”
It was a year for the
Inland Empire to shine.
Corona Centennial won the
Pac-5 Division football
championship; Chino Hills
went 35-0 and won the Open
Division state basketball
championship; Michael
Norman led Vista Murrieta
to the state track championship.
In baseball, there were
unexpected happenings.
Sidearmer Collin Quinn of
San Juan Capistrano JSerra
went 12-1 with an 80-mph
fastball. Manhattan Beach
Mira Costa won the Boras
Classic. Woodland Hills El
Camino Real won its ninth
City Section championship
while relying on a closer,
Elan Filous, who sat in the
stands at Dodger Stadium a
year ago as a fan.
Nothing, though, tops
Murrieta Mesa, the school
that finished last in the
Southwestern League a
year ago and first in Division
1 using its unique style of
baseball.
“Our goal is just to have
fun,” Filos said.

first win
on tour

William McGirt won for
the first time on the PGA
Tour with a playoff victory in
the Memorial on Sunday
that earned him an audience
with Jack Nicklaus and a
spot in the U.S. Open.
McGirt won in his 165th
start on the tour. He played
bogey-free the final round in
Dublin, Ohio, for a oneunder-par 71, two-putting
from 65 feet to get into a playoff with Jon Curran, who
closed with a 70. They finished at 15-under 273.
McGirt won with a par on
the second extra hole at No.
18, getting up and down from
the rough behind the green
by holing a putt just outside
six feet.
Dustin Johnson was a
shot back in third, while
Rory McIlroy tied for fourth
with Matt Kuchar, Gary
Woodland and J.B. Holmes,
at 13 under.
Jason Day got to within
two shots of the lead until he
tumbled to a 74 and tied for
27th. Jordan Spieth finished
in a tie for 57th.
Etc.
Scott McCarron won the
Principal Charity Classic for
his first Champions title,
birdieing the final three
holes for a seven-under 65
and a one-stroke victory
over Miguel Angel Jimenez
and Billy Andrade in Des
Moines. ... Anna Nordqvist
repeated as the champion of
the ShopRite LPGA Classic
in Galloway Township, N.J.,
closing with a seven-under
64 in breezy conditions for a
one-stroke victory over
Japan's Haru Nomura. ...

HELENE ELLIOTT
SAN JOSE
— No defeat
has to be a
total loss
unless the
team that fell
short doesn’t
learn from
what went
wrong. The Pittsburgh
Penguins, stung by a 3-2
overtime loss to the San
Jose Sharks in Game 3 of
the Stanley Cup Final, said
Sunday they had much to
gain by dissecting the defeat
that trimmed their lead to
two games to one.
They did many things
right. The Penguins outshot
the Sharks for the third
straight game, this time by
42-26, for a series lead of
113-74. And the Penguins
won the shot-blocking
battle by getting in the way
of 38 shots, as many as they
had blocked in their two
home wins combined.
But Pittsburgh Coach
Mike Sullivan saw enough
flaws to conduct a full practice Sunday at SAP Center
after the Sharks held an
optional session at their
practice facility. The issue
for the Penguins in Game 4,
to be played Monday in San
Jose, will be to better capitalize on their strongest
assets: their speed and
dazzling skill.
“If we’re coming out of
our end quick and getting
up through the neutral
zone, then we’re having
success. When we get
bogged down in our end,
that’s when we can struggle,” veteran center Matt
Cullen said Sunday. “For us,
it’s a lot about how we can
come out of our end cleaner,
quicker, defend better and
get the puck down the other
end, where we can play to
our strengths.
“Sometimes a loss can,
for whatever reason, help
hammer that home a little
more. You see it on video
and you know, whereas
when you win you maybe
gloss over a few things. For
us it’s a good point to take a
step back and say, ‘We’re
playing OK. We’re playing
fine.’ But in the Stanley Cup
Final we need to have our
very, very best game.”
But what if the Sharks
learned something too,
namely, that Penguins
goaltender Matt Murray
might be vulnerable on high
shots?
Joonas Donskoi scored
the winner Saturday with a
shot over Murray’s shoulder, an area the Sharks
Marcio Jose Sanchez Associated Press
SAN JOSE’S Joe Pavelski has been held without a point in the Stanley Cup Final’s first three games, after
marked success earlier in the playoffs. Here he’s unable to score against Pittsburgh’s Matt Murray in Game 3.
targeted when they could
get shots through. Murray
acknowledged that he
should have stopped Joel
Ward’s blast on San Jose’s
tying goal at 8 minutes 48
seconds of the third period,
making this a rare lessthan-stellar effort.
Murray, who turned 22
on May 25, has responded to
each of his four playoff
losses by winning his next
start. How he responds
Monday will go a long way
toward determining
whether the Penguins will
be in position to win the Cup
at home Thursday in Game
5 or if this will be a long
series.
“I wouldn’t really call it a
bounce-back game, to be
honest. One bad goal
doesn’t make it a bad
game,” he said of Game 4. “I
thought I was really good all
game.”
The Sharks, for their
part, are still trying to find
ways to get more shots on
net. The Penguins have
been hurling their bodies at
shots and getting sticks on
pucks, a successful strategy.
They’ve held Sharks captain Joe Pavelski to four
shots and no points — the
same Pavelski who shredded the Kings for five goals
and six points in the first
round, dinged Nashville for
four goals and seven points
in the second round, and
tore up St. Louis with four

goals and nine points in the
West final.
Pavelski said the Penguins have been blocking his
shooting lanes and minimizing his time and space.
“They’ve done a good
job,” he said. “I think I’ve
passed on a few shots re-
cently that I haven’t earlier,
so it’s getting back to a
shooting mind-set a little
bit. There’s been a lot of
plays where it’s been almost
there and they get a stick on
it. ... We’re creating some
chances. It’s just that end
result hasn’t been there.
That shot hasn’t finalized.
And you just stay with it and
keep trying to have that
puck and get open and play
with it.”
They’ll also stay with the
physicality that gave them a
47-17 edge in hits Saturday.
The Sharks have outhit the
Penguins, 126-89, over the
first three games, but the
Penguins haven’t been
deterred.
“Teams have been trying
to outmuscle us to try and
intimidate us for the last
three months,” defenseman
Ben Lovejoy said. “The
Rangers did it, Washington
did it. The last series
[against Tampa Bay] was a
little different, but we’re a
team that prides ourselves
on being brave, on going
back for pucks, on winning
pucks against bigger
players, on taking hits. We
need to continue to do that.”
Sharks Coach Peter
DeBoer likes to say that the
team that imposes its will
the longest will ultimately
prevail. His team did that
Saturday.
It’s up to the Penguins to
show if they can turn their
loss into a victory or if the
Sharks’ first two home
games will turn out to be a
win-win situation.

AROUND THE MAJORS
Fielder is out
of lineup again
Texas Rangers slugger Prince
Fielder shot back with an emphatic expletive when asked
whether he needed a mental break.
As for whether any physical
problems could explain a .187 batting average that led to his benching the last two games, Fielder said
his bones and joints weren't hurt.
“Just my heart and my feelings,”
Fielder said.
Fielder, who has only one home
run in his last 39 games, was replaced at designated hitter by Jurickson Profar again Sunday
against Seattle.
Fielder said he wasn't happy
with Manager Jeff Banister's decision, but respected it.
Rays’ Guyer is put
on the disabled list
Outfielder Brandon Guyer was
put on the 15-day disabled list by
the Tampa Bay Rays because of a
left hamstring strain.
Guyer is hitting .271 with six
home runs and 14 runs batted in.
Beer bottle is thrown
near Phillies’ Howard
Philadelphia police are investigating an incident in which a beer
bottle was reportedly thrown near
Phillies player Ryan Howard during Saturday's game.
A police spokesman said Howard was heading to the dugout
when the incident happened.

BASEBALL
Pujols unleashes a winning blast
ANGELS REPORT
He hits another home
run at PNC Park, this
one with a man on
base in eighth inning.
ANGELS 5
PITTSBURGH 4
Pitchers excelling
with pickoffs
By Pedro Moura
By Pedro Moura
PITTSBURGH — The
ballparks of the National
League Central Division
represent
ready-made
reminders of how great Albert Pujols was at one time.
Even now, he holds home
run records in most of them;
only one current Pittsburgh
Pirate has hit more home
runs at PNC Park than Pujols, and Pujols hadn’t
played here in five years before the weekend.
He was still a St. Louis
Cardinal then, still baseball’s most formidable hitter. In Sunday’s series finale,
he hammered home a new
time capsule when he
launched the game-winning
homer in the Angels' 5-4
comeback victory.
But the dramatic fashion
in which the win was finalized one inning later provided a reminder of what he
is today: a limited slugger,
constrained by the inevitability of time. Playing first
base for the third consecutive day, the 36-year-old
stretched to complete the
game-ending double play
and then fell to the ground in
pain. Two teammates had to
help him to his feet while
trainers examined him.
“As soon as they said Albert can walk, I knew we
were OK,” said closer Huston Street, one of the two.
“Because if Albert can walk,
Albert will play.”
At this point, with 916
games and $156 million still
remaining on Pujols’ contract, that truth has approached an axiom. Hampered by an array of injuries
to his lower body, he has
nevertheless started 89% of
the time as an Angel, and
he’ll surely continue to play.
His latest injury is only a
rolled left ankle with the beginnings of a bruise.
PITTSBURGH — The
Angels are four games under
.500, fourth in the American
League West, moving along
at a mediocre pace about
one-third of the way through
2016. Their offense is slightly
above average, their pitching slightly below, neither
notably so.
There is one category in
which they are exceptional:
picking off opponents. The
Angels have picked off 15
men this season, seven more
than any other major league
team. The precise reasons
remain unclear.
“I can’t explain it,” pitching coach Charles Nagy
said. “I’m at a loss myself.
I’ve never seen this many
guys get picked off before in
a season. We’re not doing
anything especially different. It wasn’t a game plan going into spring training, I’ll
put it that way.”
Noticing the trend from
center field, Mike Trout believes it to be in part a product of the Angels pitchers’
slow deliveries. They have to
throw over often or risk the
opponents running wild.
“I think the biggest thing
is, our times to home plate
are sometimes a little bit
slower than what they
should be,” Trout said.
“We’re just keeping them
honest at first base. If your
times aren’t real quick to the
plate, you gotta throw over a
lot. That has something to
do with it.”
But it is not all of it. Several pitchers have thrown
over more times than any
Angel, including Detroit’s
Justin Verlander, who has
tried 97 pickoffs, per STATS
LLC, almost twice as many
as the Angels’ leader, Matt
Shoemaker, who has attempted 50.
Joe Smith said Manager
Gene J. Puskar Associated Press
YUNEL ESCOBAR scores for the Angels on a flyout by Albert Pujols in the fifth
inning as Pirates catcher Chris Stewart tries to apply a tag.
He cannot draw walks at
the rate he once did or spray
line drives to all fields with
ease. But he can still field his
position, he can still hit
home runs, and he can still
command a presence. Two
innings before the home run,
Pujols lectured Pirates
starter Gerrit Cole with unexplained ferocity at first
base. He revealed only that
he spoke out in response to a
perceived injustice against
Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun earlier in the game.
“Whatever I had to say, I
said to him,” Pujols said later. “And it’ll stay between me
and him. I don’t want to play
the media thing, where I said
that and he said that. I’m
pretty sure we’re fine.”
Cole declined to speak
about it to reporters. The
former
UCLA
star
continued his strong season
Sunday but was chased in
the seventh after cruising
through most of the day.
Angels third baseman
and leadoff hitter Yunel
Escobar has reached base
nearly half the time he begins a game this season, and
on Sunday afternoon he singled to commence the contest. He took third base
when Mike Trout singled to
right field and scored when
Pujols powered a sacrifice
fly.
Hector Santiago walked
Pittsburgh’s leadoff hitter
Jordy Mercer, then yielded a
one-out single to Gregory
Polanco. He induced a
groundout from Jung Ho
Kang, but Starling Marte
timed a changeup to place a
single into short right field
for a run.
Santiago walked into
more trouble in the second
inning. He walked Matt
Joyce to begin it, then
yielded a single to Chris
Stewart. Cole bunted both
teammates over, and Santiago walked Mercer again.
With the bases loaded and
two outs, Santiago started
Polanco with three consecutive balls, followed with two
strikes, the second a foul ball
into the first row of seats
along the third base line that
Escobar
pursued
idly.
Santiago’s
sixth
pitch
missed, walking in a run.
Next, he hit Kang in the
ankle, forcing in another.
Santiago permitted no more
walks or runs but lasted only
two more innings before exiting, his earned-run average
up to an unsightly 5.07.
Joyce, the former Angel,
robbed Gregorio Petit of a
double and the Angels of a
run when he dove to snare a
liner in the third inning. Calhoun doubled two batters
later but stayed stranded at
second.
Rafael Ortega’s seventhinning single was the Angels’
next hit. With two outs, C.J.
Cron pinch-hit and punched
a double to center. Petit
lashed a double to right,
scoring another run.
An Escobar single would
tie the score, the Angels’ relievers having held strong.
Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle replaced Cole with Neftali Feliz, and Escobar shot a
ball into the gap, but the
nimble Marte reached it and
made a leaping grab, ending
the inning. Pujols hit his
home run after Calhoun singled in the next inning.
“This game gives to you,
and this game takes away,”
Pujols said. “The reality is
that you can’t get frustrated
about it. You have to keep
running and pushing and
get yourself ready.”

Smith
Kendrick
Mike Scioscia successfully
called for at least one of his
pickoffs from the dugout.
Smith has picked off
three of the 36 baserunners
he has allowed this season,
tied with Hector Santiago
for second on the team. Nick
Tropeano’s four are tied for
the major league lead, and
his move is considered great.
“We’ve got some guys
that have really good
moves,” Scioscia said. “We’re
doing a better job at containing the running game than
we have in the past couple
years.”
Short hops
Smith left the decision to
place him on the 15-day
disabled list up to the Angels, and they may need to
make a decision Monday or
Tuesday. The setup man’s
hamstring has been sore for
three weeks, and he was unavailable to pitch Sunday
because of it. … Still without
a starting pitcher for Tuesday’s game in New York, the
Angels could turn to triple-A
right-hander
Kyle
Kendrick,
a
veteran
journeyman signed in April.
If not Kendrick, the other
plausible option appears to
be a bullpen-heavy approach, with every reliever
going an inning or two. That
would require the Angels’
Monday starter, Shoemaker,
pitching deep into the game,
because Angels relievers
handled eight innings between Saturday and Sunday.

DODGERS REPORT
Team cuts ties with
struggling Crawford
By Mike DiGiovanna
Mark J. Terrill Associated Press
YASMANI GRANDAL is congratulated by Joc Pederson as Howie Kendrick
stands behind after Grandal hit a three-run homer against the Atlanta Braves.
Veterans help sweep Braves
[Dodgers, from D1]
for the first two months.
They need more consistent contributions from veterans such as Yasmani
Grandal, Howie Kendrick,
Adrian Gonzalez and Justin
Turner, who all had a hand in
a three-game sweep that
moved the Dodgers (31-27)
four games over .500 for the
first time since April 25.
Grandal, slowed by a
bruised left wrist and batting .192 for the season,
capped a four-run third-inning Sunday with a threerun homer to right. Gonzalez snapped a 0-for-10 skid
with an RBI double in the
first.
Kendrick, a career .293
hitter who is hitting .227, singled twice and drove in a run.
Turner (.228) took Sunday
off after collecting two hits
and an RBI on Saturday.
“I don’t think there’s anyone in our clubhouse who
thinks our offense is performing at a level it’s capable
of,” said Andrew Friedman,
Dodgers president of baseball operations.
“The good thing is the
young guys are performing.
The veteran guys who have
established watermarks of
production, I’ll bet those
guys will emerge from it, and
we’ll be a much more dynamic offense because of it.”
The Dodgers, who rank
seventh in the National
League in runs (252), 11th in
average (.237) and12th in onbase-plus-slugging percentage (.693), feasted on Braves
pitching Sunday.
A 14-hit attack featured
hits by every starter, including two by pitcher Scott
Kazmir, and Enrique Hernandez’s solo homer in the
second. The Dodgers scored
in six of eight innings, they
drew six walks and went first
to third on singles twice in
the third. They went six for
nine with runners in scoring
position.
“It was good to have a little coming-out party,” Manager Dave Roberts said.
“There were a lot of
productive at-bats, some big
hits throughout.”
Seager’s party at the
plate has lasted for a month.
He’s batting .325 (39 for 120)
with 12 homers and 22 RBIs
in 29 games since May 7. He
followed Friday night’s
three-homer game with a
solo homer to center in the
fourth inning Sunday, a
bloop RBI single in the fifth
and a two-run homer to right
in the seventh.
“It’s kind of deja vu,” Roberts said. “It keeps happening every day, and I could get
used to it. He’s got a very
sound, short swing and
power to all fields. He can hit
any pitch to any part of the
ballpark. It’s special. There’s
only a few guys who can do
that. But it starts with his
pitch recognition.”
Kazmir (5-3) recovered
from a two-run, four-hit first
to pitch five innings, giving
up three runs and seven hits,
striking out five and walking
one. The left-hander left in
the sixth because of cramping in his left quadriceps, but
he doesn’t expect it to affect
his next start.
“Warming up before the
game, it was tight, and I was
unable to get my stride and
direction the way I wanted
it,” Kazmir said. “We worked
on it between innings, and it
started to loosen up, but
once I ran the bases, it
started tightening up a little
more. … I don’t think it will
be something that lingers.”

That was one expensive
Sunday brunch for the
Dodgers, who made the difficult but necessary decision
to cut ties with Carl Crawford and eat the remaining
$34.6 million left on the
underachieving and oft-injured outfielder’s contract.
Crawford, 34, was designated for assignment to
make room for versatile
catcher/infielder
Austin
Barnes, who was recalled
from triple-A Oklahoma
City.
The Dodgers have 10 days
to trade, waive or release
Crawford. Given the 14-year
veteran’s declining skills and
the chunk left on a sevenyear, $142-million contract
that runs through 2017, that
period is expected to end
with Crawford’s release.
“Carl’s entire career, he’s
worked really hard and
played really hard, and ultimately that takes a toll on
your body,” said Andrew
Friedman, the Dodgers’
president
of
baseball
operations. “We just felt we
had gotten to a point where
this made the most sense for
all parties involved.”
Crawford, acquired from
Boston in the nine-player
trade that netted first baseman Adrian Gonzalez in
August 2012, played in only
30 games this season, batting .185 with a .230 on-base
percentage, .235 slugging
percentage, no home runs
and six runs batted in.
He began the season as a
reserve, and with young outfielder Trayce Thompson
emerging as a lineup mainstay, Howie Kendrick getting more starts in left field
and reserve outfielder Scott
Van Slyke coming off the
disabled list Friday, Crawford was reduced to an even
more limited role.
“It’s one of those things
where Father Time gets ev-
No return to form
After a strong nine-year
run in Tampa Bay, Carl
Crawford wasn’t able to
post similar numbers with
Boston or the Dodgers.

eryone,” Dodgers Manager
Dave Roberts said. “This
game is about performance.
If you’re not performing now,
and as an organization, we
don’t see that changing,
then we have to go in a different direction.”
Crawford was a four-time
All-Star and one-time Gold
Glove-Award winner in nine
years at Tampa Bay, where
he compiled a slash line of
.296/.337/.444
with
104
homers, 592 RBIs and 409
stolen bases from 2002-2010.
But playing on the unforgiving artificial turf of Tropicana Field took a toll on
Crawford, who in late April
said, “I’m lucky I’m still
walking the way I’m walking
now.”
Crawford suffered back,
wrist, elbow, hamstring and
rib-cage injuries and has
been on the disabled list seven times in the past six
years. He averaged 147
games in each of his full
seasons with the Rays; he
has averaged 90 games since
then.
“Carl was one of the most
dynamic players in baseball,” said Friedman, a Rays
executive from 2006-2014.
“He was an elite athlete with
really good bat-to-ball skills
and a tremendous defender.
“It’s something that’s inevitable for every player. As
they get on in their career
and things start to slow
down a little bit, it has an effect. It’s definitely not from a
lack of work ethic. He’s
among the hardest-working
players I’ve been around.”
Crawford spurned a huge
offer from the Angels to sign
his massive contract with
the Red Sox before 2011 but
was never really embraced in
Boston, where he slashed
.260/.292/.419 in 161 games
and was traded in his second
season.
Crawford had two full
seasons for the Dodgers,
slashing .283/.329/.407 in 116
games in 2013 and .300/.339/
.429 in 105 games in 2014, but
he was limited to 69 games
because of a rib-cage strain
in 2015, when he slashed .265/
.304/.403.
The Dodgers informed
Crawford of the decision late
Saturday night, after their
win over the Braves. Crawford was not available Sunday.
“As an aging player who
has a lot of miles on his body,
he did everything he could to
get ready to play and
contribute,” Roberts said.
“He was frustrated that he
was not performing, that his
body was not firing the way
it’s used to.”
Brain cramp
Kenley Jansen let his
emotions get the best of him
Saturday
night.
After
walking Freddie Freeman
to start the ninth inning with
a 4-0 lead, the Dodgers
closer angrily tossed the
baseball to his dugout before
asking for another ball.
One problem: Timeout
was not called. Freeman
took second on Jansen’s error, but Jansen retired the
next three batters.
“Walking a hitter with a
4-0 lead is unacceptable, and
I got angry,” Jansen said.
“That’s never happened to
me. I was being a little
stupid, immature, and I let
my emotions take over.
Thank God, I didn’t get hurt
by doing it.”

Mikulak wins fourth gymnastics title in row
staff and wire reports
Sam Mikulak used a steady
performance Sunday on the final
day of competition to win his
fourth straight all-around gymnastics national championship in
advance of the Rio de Janeiro
Olympics.
Mikulak, who missed the world
championships last fall with an ankle injury, scored 181.5 points in
Hartford, Conn., finishing 1.65
points in front of 2012 Olympic alternate Chris Brooks. Jake Dalton, another 2012 Olympian, finished third.
Mikulak, 23, broke into a huge
smile after sticking the landing on
his vault to ensure the victory. He is
the first man to win four national titles in a row since Blaine Wilson
won five straight in the 1990s.
Eighteen men will be chosen
from this competition to compete
in the Olympic trials later this
month in St. Louis, where they will
vie for spots on the five-member
Olympic team competing in Rio in
August.
The only way to guarantee a
spot on that team is to have one of
the top two all-around combined
scores from this competition and
the trials and to be in the top three
in three of the six individual events
after those competitions. Mikulak
didn't manage that — his best finishes were second on the parallel
bars and pommel horse — but his
performance solidified his position
as the nation's top all-around male
gymnast.

Broncos’ Talib is OK
after being shot in leg
Star cornerback Aqib Talib will
miss the Denver Broncos’ trip to
the White House on Monday after
getting shot at a Dallas nightclub
early Sunday morning.
Talib, who was shot in the lower
right leg, wasn’t expected to be released from a Dallas hospital until
Monday, team spokesman Patrick
Smyth said. So, he “won’t be able
to join the team for its trip to Washington,” where the team will celebrate its Super Bowl 50 title, Smyth
said.
Earlier, the Broncos said they
had spoken with Talib and “we are
glad he is OK and will make a full
recovery.”
Although he wasn't expected to
require surgery, it's not known how
much time, if any, Talib might have
to miss because of his gunshot
wound, which Smyth said was described as minor.
Police told the Dallas Morning
News that Talib was one of two
people shot in an altercation at the
Vlive club and that both victims
were hospitalized with non-life-
threatening wounds.
Will Power raced to his first IndyCar victory of the season, overcoming a costly penalty in qualifying Sunday and holding off points
leader Simon Pagenaud by 0.92
seconds at Belle Isle in Detroit.
Power would have set a track
record in qualifying earlier in the
day, but the Australian was penalized for interference and had his
top two laps taken away.
Pagenaud won the pole while
Power started eighth, but Power
prevailed in the end for his 26th career victory and first since the
Grand Prix of Indianapolis in May
2015.
With about 18 laps remaining,
Power passed Pagenaud to take
over fifth place — and the top four
drivers still had to pit again.
Power took over the lead on the
61st of 70 laps on the 2.35-mile
street course.
Ryan Hunter-Reay finished
third, and Josef Newgarden was
fourth.
Sebastien Bourdais, who won
the weekend’s first IndyCar race at
Belle Isle on Saturday, finished
eighth. Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi was 12th.
Rain postponed the NASCAR
Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., until Monday.
Julie Johnston and Alex Morgan scored goals, leading the U.S.
women’s national team to a 2-0 win
over Japan in an exhibition halted
in the 76th minute by severe
weather in Cleveland.
Auburn and Oklahoma reached
the best-of-three championship
series at the Women’s College
World Series in Oklahoma City.
Auburn defeated Florida State,
8-7, in eight innings and Oklahoma
defeated Louisiana State, 7-3.

D’Amato’s roles as trainer and dad
[D’Amato, from D1]
cussing why Ryan was
placed in the foster system,
citing “circumstances” without elaborating.
A few years ago, Jessie
had met with her father and
learned about Ryan and told
D’Amato and Marr that they
needed to do something.
“We didn’t get involved
expecting to be in the situation we are now,” Marr said.
“We just wanted to help out.”
Once the reality of five
foster homes hit D’Amato
and Marr, they did everything they could to gain custody, parental rights and,
next week, adoption.
It wasn’t easy.
Longtime friend Aaron
Gryder, an accomplished
jockey, got involved.
“When they told me
about the situation I wanted
to help them, but I really
wanted to make certain the
child was surrounded by
someone who truly loved
them,” Gryder said.
Gryder called friend
Tony Strickland, a former
California state senator, who
knew his way around the
system.
“He [Strickland] utilized
a great guy with L.A. County
to make sure things were
pushed through in a speedy
manner,” Gryder said. “I’m
sure things would have
worked out regardless, but
this just made it happen
easier.”
Ryan has been with
D’Amato and Marr for about
two years.
“We’re not actually foster
parents,” Marr said. “We’re
classified as family and
friends. … Still, once you’re in
the system, it’s a hard system to get out of.”
There were the normal
adjustments.
“The first year, they want
to go back home,” Marr said.
“They want a mom and a
dad, so that’s fine. But as
soon as we got parental
rights this kid changed and
we changed. As soon as the
adoption
started,
he
[D’Amato] was Dad and I
was Mom, even to the point
of overusing it. A constant
Mom, Mom, Mom, Dad, Dad,
Dad. It was amazing.”
D’Amato, 40, describes
the benefits of his soon-tobe-official son in equally
emotional tones.
“As a trainer, if you win
one out of every four races,
you’re a genius, even though
you lost three races,” D’Amato said. “You’re going to lose
way more than you win and
you come home and you’re a
little sour. But I see this little
guy running around without
a care in the world. ‘Hey,
Dad, when are you going to
throw the ball to me? When
are you going to take me to
baseball practice?’ It gives
life so much more meaning.”

WILD ABOUT DEB races to victory April 9 at Santa Anita, with help from jockey Tiago Pereira. The Bel-
mont Stakes-bound horse stands to be the first that trainer Phil D’Amato has entered in a Triple Crown race.
By
comparison,
D’Amato’s journey to near
the top of the training world
has been quick since he
graduated from USC with a
degree in political science.
Instilled with a love of horse
racing by his grandfather, he
left Southern California in
2002 and enrolled in the
Race Track Industry Program at the University of Arizona.
“Where he’s different is he
didn’t come from a horse
background and didn’t have
a leg up,” said Doug Reed,
the
program
director,
comparing D’Amato to a
pair of former graduates.
“Bob Baffert was from Nogales [in Arizona] and had
been around horses much of
his life, and Todd Pletcher’s
family was in racing.”
D’Amato settled into a
regular routine of going to
class from 8 a.m. until noon
and then, with friends Raj
Mutti, Cash Vessels and
Justin Larsen, would head
either to a bowling alley or
the dog track to play the
ponies.
“He was pretty solid as far
as his handicapping skills,”
said Mutti, who oversees
seven properties for Great
Canadian casinos. “A good
trainer is a good handicapper because you know where
best your horses fit. None of
Eric Sondheimer Los Angeles Times
D’AMATO, 40, was a longtime assistant to trainer
Mike Mitchell, who died in 2015.
his horses are ever 99-1.”
Mutti says D’Amato was
an excellent handicapper,
especially in the pick 4,
where he had some $10,000 to
$15,000 winners.
“I couldn’t tell you how
much we did or didn’t win,”
D’Amato said, in a rare bit of
forgetfulness. “But we always made sure we had a
good time.”
After
graduation,
D’Amato headed to the East
Coast, where he worked for
trainer Chuck Simon.
“We would go from New
York to Florida to Kentucky,” D’Amato said. “After
doing that for three or four
years, picking up everything
and moving all the time, I
just got tired of it and came
back to California.”
D’Amato’s mother was
friends with Neil Papiano, an
attorney and horse owner,
who told her he knew of a
trainer who just fired his assistant and was looking for a
new one.
“So I went and visited
Mike Mitchell,” D’Amato
said. “He was very standoffish but said because of Neil
Papiano, he would give me a
week’s trial. He said, ‘If I like
you, great, if I don’t, you’ll
have to find another job.’ ”
D’Amato’s trial ended after the second day and he
was hired.
“We would win as a team,
lose as a team,” D’Amato
said. “When we won, we
would go out and celebrate
like I was his son. He took me
under his wing and tutelage
and basically taught me
everything he knew.”
The relationship lasted
about10 years, with D’Amato
allowed to train a few horses
under his own name to get
some experience and learn
how to deal with owners.
Early in his tenure with
Mitchell, Marr was hired as
an exercise rider and she
and D’Amato secretly became a couple. Not even
Mitchell knew. They wanted
to keep their relationship
quiet so there would be no
talk of favoritism at the
barn.
In the spring of 2012, there
was something off about
Mitchell.
“He thought he had
Alzheimer’s,” Marr said. “We
all did. He couldn’t remember his jacket, his keys,
where he parked.”
That June, Mitchell had a
cancerous tumor removed
from his brain. He initially
recovered, but the day-today rigor of running a stable
was too much. In April 2014,
D’Amato took over as head
trainer and Mitchell stepped
into an advisory role.
“He always wanted me to
do it,” D’Amato said. “I knew
all his owners and they were
comfortable with me. I think
he knew he was getting a little bit worse and he wanted
to spend more time with his
family, his daughters, not
knowing how much time he
had left.”
Mitchell called all the
owners and asked them to
stay with D’Amato. Marr remembers losing one owner.
D’Amato remembers losing
none.
Mitchell died a year later,
but by then D’Amato was
well on his way to running a
successful stable.
D’Amato wasn’t that interested in winning his first
training title earlier this year
but was talked into it.
“With a couple weeks to
go I was one or two behind
Doug O’Neill,” D’Amato
said. “My staff was all depressed and asking why we
weren’t entering horses
more aggressively. They
were all ‘We need to win.’
“About two weeks out I
decided if my help was this
much on board, they really
want to win and they are taking this much pride in it, and
the owners were behind it,
that I was going to give it a
shot. So I turned up the aggressive thing a bit.”
D’Amato ended up beating O’Neill, 41 wins to 34, despite saddling 39 fewer
horses. D’Amato has a comfortable lead in the spring
meeting too.
“I respect him a ton,”
O’Neill said. “He’s a real
hard worker, a bright cerebral guy. To be Mike’s righthand guy for such a long
time you’ve got to be good.
Racing could use more guys
like him.”
Longtime friend Mutti
laughs when he thinks back
to their college days and
what would follow.
“Not to offend him, but to
think he would be the top
trainer in the Southern California circuit, 11 years ago,”
Mutti said, “no one would
have thought that.”
D’Amato volleyed back.
“And I would say the
same about him,” he said of
the successful casino executive.
“When I was at the University of Arizona with all my
friends,” D’Amato said, “I’d
say, ‘Someday I’m going to
win the Kentucky Derby.’
They all laughed at me. But I
think I’m on a path to have a
shot at that someday. I work
seven days a week to compete with the best of the best.”
Not seven days next
week. He’s got to spend part
of a Monday in court. He
needs to see a judge about a
boy.

TODAY’S GAMES
GROUP D: PANAMA vs. BOLIVIA
Where: Orlando, Fla. Time: 4 PDT. TV: FS1, UniMas, UDN.
The buzz: Panama looked good in its final Copa tuneup,
playing Brazil tough in 2-0 loss. But the shutout marked the
sixth time in the last seven games that Panama has scored
one or fewer goals, which puts added pressure on the team’s
goalkeeper, former Galaxy standout Jaime Penedo. Bolivia’s
struggles go far deeper: Its 4-0 loss to the U.S. in a friendly last
month was its ninth in 10 games, a span in which it was
outscored, 32-8.
GROUP D: ARGENTINA vs. CHILE
Where: Santa Clara. Time: 7. TV: FS1, UniMas, UDN.
The buzz: This could be the best matchup of the tournament
— or at least of the first round. Deep and talented Argentina,
the tournament favorite, is ranked No. 1 in the world and has
arguably the world’s best player in Lionel Messi. But Messi is
coming into the tournament a little banged up after bruising
his back in a tuneup game with Honduras and may sit this
one out. Coach Gerardo Martino said Messi’s availability will
be a game-time decision. Chile, ranked fifth in the world, is
confident, having beaten Argentina in the Copa America final last summer to win its first title. Both teams are expected
to advance out of group play handily, which means this
matchup could be repeated in the tournament final.
— Kevin Baxter
CHICAGO — The temperature was perfect, the
weather pristine with sunshine that allowed you to see
the smokestacks in scenic
Indiana from the lakefront
— perfect conditions for the
Copa America Centenario,
the biggest soccer tournament to grace Chicago since
the World Cup in 1994.
But not many bothered
to show up.
An announced crowd of
25,560 showed up at Soldier
Field to watch Venezuela upset Jamaica, 1-0, in both
teams’ opening match of the
tournament, but the only
way there were 25,560 people
in the stands at Soldier Field
was if you counted everyone
twice, maybe even three
times. There were vocal factions from each side there,
but the atmosphere of a
competitive international
soccer match was stifled
with so many empty seats
and echoing noise in the
spaceship by Lake Michigan.
Those fans who did show
up saw an entertaining
match. For one, it’s not every
day that a soccer coach gets
a red card, as Jamaican
Coach Winfried Schaefer did
at halftime. That came after
one of his players, midfielder
Rodolph Austin, received a
red card in the 24th minute
leaving Jamaica a man down
for the rest of the match.
And the biggest name on
the field Sunday — Jamaica’s Wes Morgan — did
not start the game.
Morgan, who is the captain of longshot Premier
[email protected]
Mexico extends undefeated streak
[Soccer, from D1]
Two other streaks didn’t
survive, though, with Diego
Godin’s header in the 74th
minute for Uruguay ending
Mexico’s string of eight
straight shutouts and 804
scoreless minutes.
And speaking of streaks,
El Tri is now perfect in nine
games under new Coach
Juan Carlos Osorio, who
made the decision to revive
Marquez’s national-team
career, which appeared at an
end when he was off the roster for last summer’s Gold
Cup.
Marquez paid him back
Sunday by providing leadership and grit, not to mention
the go-ahead goal, for a fading and fatigued Mexico in
the final minutes.
“They pressured us and
complicated things for us,”
defender Hector Moreno
said. “But in the end the
most important thing is that
the team maintained its personality when it seemed
things could fall apart.”
The game, easily the
most entertaining of the
first six in the young Centenario, had a little bit of
everything: two expulsions,
end-to-end runs, athletic
goalkeeping and some creative attacking, especially
on the Mexican side.
For Uruguay, however, it
was a day that started
poorly and went downhill
from there.
First La Celeste took the
field without injured striker
Luis Suarez and was made
to stand at attention for the
playing of the Chilean national anthem rather than
its own.
Four minutes after kickoff things got worse, with defender Alvaro Pereira inadvertently heading in an
Andres Guardado cross to
give Mexico a 1-0 lead.
Then in the waning seconds of the first half midfielder Matias Vecino was
sent off with his second yellow card, forcing Uruguay to
play the first 28 minutes of
Matt York Associated Press

the second half a player
down.
Guardado was also sent
off with a second yellow midway through the second half,
leaving both squads a man
short. Vecino and Guardado
will have to sit out their
team’s second group-play
games later this week as
well.
Uruguay’s attack had little first-half bite without
Suarez, who strained a hamstring two weeks ago in the
Copa del Rey final in Spain
and will likely sit out all three
group-stage games.
It came alive in the second half, though repeatedly
testing Mexican keeper Alfredo Talavera, and a minute after Guardado was expelled, that hard work bore
fruit when Godin beat Talavera off a free kick to tie the
score.
The tie was less than 10
minutes old when secondhalf
substitute
Raul
Jimenez set up the winning
score by beating two
defenders to a loose ball
near the end line.
Marquez was smart
enough to stay where he was
so when Jimenez sent a
back-pass his way, he had
enough time and space to
take half a step back and
blast a right-footed shot in
at the near post.
Marquez, the only man to
serve as Mexico’s captain in
four World Cups, then spun
and raced for the sidelines,
pumping his right fist in celebration
before
being
wrapped in a hug by
Jimenez.
“We knew it was the most
important match of this
Green is key for Warriors in Game 2
[NBA, from D1]
“I got myself in a lot of
trouble tonight, personally,”
James said. “I had basically
half our turnovers when I
came out, and it resulted in
them getting some easy baskets. I’ve just got to be more
solid.”
This was markedly different from a year ago, when
Cleveland tied the Warriors
after stealing Game 2 here
without injured starters Irving and Love. Cleveland
headed back home and even
took an improbable 2-1 lead
as James scored 40 points
and Matthew Dellavedova
proved to be more than just
a hardcourt pest.
It was a flame that faded
quickly, the Cavaliers losing
three in a row as James fell to
2-4 in the Finals.
More Cleveland trouble
this time was discovered in
the big-picture stats —
James’ teams had won nine
consecutive Game 2s after
losing Game 1 of a playoff series. There wasn’t a 10th.
The window was opened
a crack Sunday when Curry
left early in the third quarter
with his fourth foul. The
Cavaliers trailed by 10 at the
time but there would be no
push as Green kept scoring,
Klay Thompson made a 29foot three-pointer and reserve guard Leandro Barbosa had another solid game
(10 points on five-for-seven
shooting).
Already, there were questions whether this Warriors
team was the best of all time.
“We are better than the
‘Showtime’
Lakers,”
Thompson said with a smile,
League champion Leicester
City, did not enter until the
40th minute.
Venezuela took advantage while Morgan was out of
the game. Jamaica turned
the ball over in its half, giving
Venezuela a chance to attack. Some quick ball movement allowed Venezuelan
forward Josef Martinez to
get the ball behind the Jamaica defense.
Martinez carried the ball
all the way to the left side sixyard box where he drilled a
shot through the legs of Jamaican goalkeeper Andre
Blake.
phase because if you start
losing then the confidence
will go down. But if you start
winning,
everything
changes,” defender Miguel
Layun said.
In the closing seconds,
with Uruguay again pressing for an equalizer, it left itself open to a counterattack
and Mexico took advantage,
with an unmarked Herrera
nodding home an insurance
goal to seal the victory.
“We were better than a
great team and we’re happy
with a great result,” Osorio
said. “We’re going to face
more teams of this quality
and that’s going to require
us
to
have
more
performances like the one
we had today.”

knowing his father, Mychal,
played for them back in the
day.
Curry, in his limited time,
scored 18 points and added
four assists.
Green was the key, undoubtedly, making five of
eight three-point attempts
and adding five assists. Maybe soon he can apply to be
one of the slick-shooting
“Splash Brothers,” a reporter surmised.
“Tonight he was one of
us,” said Thompson, who
scored 17 points and made
four three-pointers.
The NBA’s defensive
player of the year, the 6foot-7 Green can play anywhere along the front line.
He can also score, in case
Cleveland wasn’t aware.
“The way they’re playing
defense against our guards,
Draymond’s going to be
open all day,” Golden State
Coach Steve Kerr said.
Love exhibited no concussion symptoms at halftime but looked “woozy”
during a third-quarter timeout, said Cleveland Coach
Tyronn Lue, adding Love
was “day to day.” Love had
only five points and three rebounds in 20 minutes.
The Cavaliers have existed for 45 years without an
NBA championship, another hole in Cleveland’s downtrodden sports history. If
there isn’t quick improvement, make it 46 years.

‘UnREAL’s’ bold Season 2 direction is burnishing Lifetime brand
By Meredith Blake
In a scene from the Season 2
premiere of “UnREAL,” Quinn
King (Constance Zimmer), the
hard-nosed executive producer of
a “Bachelor”-like reality show
called “Everlasting,” tries to calm
the nerves of a panicked network
executive. Quinn and her protegée,
Rachel Goldberg (Shiri Appleby),
have just made history by casting
Darius Hill, a handsome black
football star (B.J. Britt), as the
show’s “suitor.”
“I promise you 20 million viewers the minute” he touches a white
woman, Quinn says, using more piquant language and boasting of
the show’s diverse, combustible
mix of contestants: “We have a hot
racist, an even hotter black-activist
person and we have a terrorist.
They will be at each other’s throats
from Night 1. It will be a ratings bonanza.”
Sergei Bachlakov Lifetime
“EVERLASTING’S” ratings-grab ploy in Season 2 involves mix-
ing up the races, here featuring Jessica Sipos and Gentry White.
When “UnREAL” debuted last
year on Lifetime, critics praised the
drama for its feminist take on reality television’s retrograde gender

sophomore season, the series is
confronting the reality genre’s
equally problematic relationship
with race at a time when “The
Bachelor”/“Bachelorette” continues to weather criticism for largely
excluding people of color.
The series was created by
veteran show runner Marti Noxon
(“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and
Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, a writer
and filmmaker who reluctantly
toiled for several years as a producer on “The Bachelor” and “The
Bachelorette.” “UnREAL” wound
up on many year-end lists and in
May won a Peabody Award “for illustrating how masterfully parody
can work when it shines its light
fearlessly.” [See ‘UnREAL,’ E4]

The scene was a familiar
one: Flounder was swimming upstream again, in
pursuit of his mermaid
friend Ariel.
“Ariel, I’m coming!” he
shouted, cutting through
the crowd in a bright yellowand-blue costume as he
tried to catch up with her.
Except this was not the
same Flounder generations
of audiences have come to
adore from the 1989 Disney
musical feature “The Little
Mermaid.” This was a burly

In 1974, Muhammad Ali
appeared on ABC’s “Wide
World of Sports” with Joe
Frazier to talk with Howard
Cosell about their upcoming
heavyweight rematch. Ali’s
frequent taunting prompted
Frazier to lunge at him, and
the boxers wrestled on the
floor until being separated
by their entourage members.
Cosell dispassionately
described the scuffle without moving from his chair on
the set.
“If either one of them
wanted to throw a punch at
one another, Howard wasn’t
going to stop it,” said Don
Ohlmeyer, who was in the
studio that day. “As I recall,
it was a lot of pushing and
shoving and hugging and
rolling.”
By that time, viewers had
come to expect fireworks
when Ali and Cosell were on
the screen together. It was
one of TV’s great yet odd
pairings: two men with distinctly
different
backgrounds who shared the
ability to polarize and captivate the public. Ali died Friday at age 74; Cosell died in
1995.
“Howard and Ali had this
incredible rapport, and they
both understood the importance that each other could
play in their respective careers,” recalled Ohlmeyer, a
veteran TV executive who
was a young producer at
ABC Sports in the 1970s.
“And they also legitimately
liked each other. They were

THE STAGE show and “Mermaid” screening not enough? OK, cue the fireworks.
In January 2014, Delos released a solo recording by a
26-year-old Ukrainian pianist, Vadym Kholodenko,
who six months earlier had
taken gold at the Van
Cliburn International Piano
Competition. On it is a lovely
performance of an untroubled
Tchaikovsky-Rachmaninoff lullaby that Kholodenko had likely played for
his young daughter.
Nobody could have expected Kholodenko on Saturday night, in his Los Angeles (but not Southern California) debut at the Valley
Performing Arts Center, to
look or sound untroubled.
Three days earlier, the
pianist’s estranged wife, Sofya Tsygankova, had been in-

outside of Fort Worth. Tsygankova has pleaded not
guilty.
It would be disingenuous
not to acknowledge that
Kholodenko had to be an object of a certain sensationalist fascination for much of
the audience Saturday. He is
a physically undemonstrative
player,
but
his
performances of works by
Liszt and Scriabin — two
composers
and
great
pianists for whom sensationalism was not a foreign
concept — were emotionally
draining.
His first encore was none
other than that Tchaikovsky
lullaby, this time played with
almost unbearably grave solemnity. I cannot say
whether this was an act of
psychological courage, pianistic therapy or simple, if
profound, professionalism.
Possibly, it was a rare combination of all three.
One of Kholodenko’s two
most notable qualities as a
pianist are his stunning
ringing tone, which allows
him to leave notes hanging
in the air longer than the
physics of acoustics would
suggest is possible. The
other is an opposite crisp
and spectacular digital
speed. Both were on display
Saturday in far more extreme ways than can be
heard on his recordings, including the impressive live
performances from the competition that the Cliburn has
released.
The Liszt-Scriabin program tied into the American
Liszt Society’s annual Liszt
Festival, held this year at Cal
State Northridge and focusing on Liszt and Russia.
Thoughts about Liszt’s influence were in the air.
The latest recording by
maverick Italian pianist
Marino Formenti, “Liszt Inspections,” focuses on how
the Hungarian composer
foreshadowed the avantgarde likes of Ligeti, Berio,
Stockhausen, Feldman and
even John Adams’ “China
Gates” (which Kholodenko
happened to play with extraordinary luminosity in
the Cliburn). The featured
Scriabin work on Kholodenko’s recital was an early

set of 24 preludes. It just so
happened that another new
recording by an Italian pianist, Vanessa Benelli Mosell,
released Friday, pairs these
Opus11Preludes with Stockhausen.
Kholodenko,
however,
seemed understandably less
interested in where the music might have been historically leading than where it
personally had led him,
which was all over the place.
He began a strangely
skewed Liszt first half with
three works from the com-

poser’s pilgrimage series by
bringing a deliberate slowness to character pieces inspired by Petrarch Sonnets
104 and 123. Here, Kholodenko seemed reluctant to
let go of each gorgeously
rounded note he produced.
In a nocturne evoking the
bells of Geneva, he then
turned each into an epic
tolling.
That led to the 19th and
last of Liszt’s Hungarian
rhapsodies. Rather than being treated as a great showpiece, it became dark and

Kholodenko ended where
others would have begun,
with the Invocation that
opens Liszt’s series called
“Harmonies Poétiques et
Religieuses.” It too was slow
and subdued, but the climax
had majestic power.
In the short, early Scriabin preludes — which are as
much Chopinesque as they
are Lisztian — Kholodenko
became more manic. Slow
ones were unrelievedly elegiac; fast ones, too furious to
make out the details. In Scri-

BOX OFFICE
‘Ninja Turtles’
emerges on top
The sequel debuts at
No. 1, besting all rivals
in a soft weekend at
movie theaters.

land navigating the Hollywood Bowl crowd to catch
up with his friend.
Friday evening kicked off
the first of a three-night,
star-studded musical at the
venue called “Disney’s The
Little Mermaid in Concert,”
and fan Elias Stimac came
dressed in yellow face paint,
a blue cockatoo-esque wig
and blue fishnet stockings
that he purchased from a
costume shop during his visit to Los Angeles and wore
over his hands.
“ ‘The Little Mermaid’ is
just one of those films that
makes you feel good,” said
Stimac, who noted he had
taken about 100 shell-fies
with people since he set foot
on the grounds. “It makes
me cry every time.”
Singer Sara Bareilles
provided vocals for the
heroine Ariel, a young mermaid who dreams of becoming human. Actress Rebel
Wilson performed as seawitch Ursula. Actor Darren
Criss sang the role of Eric,
the human prince with
whom Ariel falls in love,
while Tituss Burgess (from
“Unbreakable
Kimmy
Schmidt”) played the part of
crustacean court composer
Sebastian, a role he previously took on in Disney’s
Broadway musical version
of the movie.
The live cast also included John Stamos in the
part of Chef Louis (“Les
Poissons”).
While many attendees
had a more muted expression of their love for the Disney classic — simply donning T-shirts of their favorite
character or adhering to the
color palate of Ariel’s seashell bra and electric-green,
mermaid tail — others, like
Stimac, were more bold in
their attire.

After a less-than-stellar
Memorial Day weekend, this
past weekend’s box office
brought more lackluster
news for the film industry as
Paramount
Pictures’
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,”
Universal Pictures’ “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” and “Me Before You,”
from Warner Bros.’ New Line
Cinema and MGM, debuted
at cineplexes nationwide.
The “Turtles” sequel
took the top spot with an estimated $35.3 million domestically. Though meeting
analyst expectations of $35
million to $40 million, it
came in significantly behind
its 2014 predecessor, which
debuted to $65 million.
“We’re happy [with this
performance],” said Megan
Colligan, the studio’s head of
distribution. “Our movie
definitely
played
more
family than the last, [but]
the nostalgic audience that
came out last time didn’t
pop out [in the first weekend] this time.”
Critics and audiences appear split on the picture.
While moviegoers gave it an
A-minus grade, according to
polling firm CinemaScore,
only 37% of critics on Rotten
Tomatoes rated it favorably.
Internationally,
it
brought in an estimated $34
million, but it has yet to open
in the largest market
abroad, China. It premieres
there on July 2.
“Turtles” is the latest example of sequels struggling
to measure up to the
originals. Though studios
have long relied on such retreads to pad their film
slates and propel merchandising, multiple follow-ups
have underwhelmed this
year, including Walt Disney
Co.’s “Alice Through the
Looking Glass,” Universal’s
“Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” and “The Huntsman:
Winter’s War” and Paramount’s “Zoolander 2.”
Even the $80-million
opening for Fox’s “X-Men:
Apocalypse” last weekend
was comparatively less than
its predecessor. But in its
second week, it took the second spot with $22.3 million ,
just shy of expectations of
$25 million to $30 million.
In third place was Warner
Bros.’ “Me Before You” with
an $18.3-million debut, the
only film of the weekend to
surpass analyst predictions.
The romantic drama was expected to haul in only $12
million to $14 million.
Disney’s “Alice” took the
fourth spot in its second
week with an estimated $10.7
million for a domestic gross
of $50.8 million.
Rounding out the top five
was Sony’s “The Angry
Birds Movie.” In its third
week, the film based on the
video game of the same
name added an additional
$9.8 million for a domestic
gross of $86.7 million.
“Popstar,” the last of the
week’s new releases, eked
out an eighth-place finish
with a disappointing $4.6
million. The R-rated comedy
was projected to open to $7
million to $8 million.

Ursula — after her giant
growth-spurt in the movie —
had a view of the crowd,
she’d roll her eyes at the
number of Ariel wigs.
Young or old, they all
came prepared to sing along
and recite lines. Helping to
prepare them before the
main show got underway
was Alan Menken, who composed the Oscar-winning
score of the movie. On Friday night, he performed a
medley of Disney songs that
he’s written, including “Be
Our Guest” (“Beauty and
the Beast”) and “Colors of
the Wind” (“Pocahontas”).
But once that iconic Disney castle logo shot onto the
venue’s multiple screens signaling the start of the movie,
the Hollywood Bowl transformed into the Hollywood
Fish Bowl.
The famous concentric
arches of the stage were illuminated in ocean blues,
Flounder yellows and white,
Ursula purples and blues.
During the song portions
of the movie, the singers
(who included Norm Lewis
as King Triton and Joshua
Colley as Flounder) came
out in character-like costumes to perform.
The screening featured a
71-piece orchestra led by
conductor Michael Kosarin,
along with a 12-person choir.
Bareilles’ rendition of
“Part of Your World” drew
echoes from the crowd
singing with the same power
from their seats. Burgess’
rendition of the upbeat
“Under the Sea” had folks
whistling and dancing along.
The opening notes to Ursula’s
“Poor
Unfortunate
Souls” drew immediate
cheers, and Wilson’s growly
and boisterous take on it
had the audience howling.
Stamos was even thrust into
conducting the orchestra
during Chef Louis’ moment
of pandemonium from his
kitchen disaster.
The concert also included four songs from the
Broadway
production:
Flounder’s song “She’s in
Love”; “If Only” (Quartet)
sung by Ariel, King Triton,
Sebastian and Prince Eric;
King Triton’s “The World
Above”; and Prince Eric’s
“Her Voice” — all of which
were sung while screens at
the Bowl displayed concept
art from the film.
The close of the movie,
which finds Ariel, now human for good, and Prince
Eric reunited and getting
married, was accompanied
by a minutes-long fireworks
display around 10:30 p.m.
And yet for some it wasn’t
enough.
“Again! I want to see it
again!” 6-year-old Jessica
Garcia told her mom, rubbing her tired eyes, as they
made their way downstairs.

The Ali-Cosell show was must-see TV
[Ali, from E1]
cause it was very unpredictable as to what would
happen,
such
as
Ali
threatening
to
take
Howard’s hairpiece off. They
were very funny together,
and they also created their
own news.”
Cosell had been covering
boxing mostly on the radio
for ABC in the early 1960s after a career as a lawyer. With
a honking nasal voice and an
appearance more suitable
for carrying legal briefs than
looking into a camera, he
was never pegged as a future
network TV star. But his career took off once Ali, still
known as Cassius Clay, became a global TV personality that transcended
the ring on the night of Feb.
24, 1964.
That was when Ali
shocked experts with his victory
over
heavyweight
champion Sonny Liston to
win his first title. Cosell famously asked an exuberant
Ali (“I am the greatest! I
shook up the world!”) to “let
go of the mike” at the end of
their post-fight interview in
the ring.
From that moment on, a
bantering Cosell and Ali
were a familiar scene on
ABC before and after every
fight as well as during the legal battle that stripped Ali of
his title. They both could be
brash and cocky, making
them controversial at a time
when most star athletes
were publicly modest and
sportscasters were affable
but often dull.
“Ali was the first athlete
in the television age to announce his own greatness,
Cosell was the first broadcaster,” is how Dave Kindred
described their connection
in his 2007 book about the
two men, “Sound and Fury.”
The chatter between Ali
and Cosell was often more
entertaining than the fights
they preceded. Before Ali’s
November 1965 title defense,
he asked the champ about
challenger Floyd Patterson,
Associated Press
MUHAMMAD ALI jokes with Howard Cosell about
the latter’s hair in West Point, N.Y., on Aug. 7, 1972.
a
popular,
soft-spoken
African American fighter
who was past his prime.
“Privately, you’ve confided that Patterson has
been ‘the white hope’ to this
country,” Cosell asked. “Do
you believe that?”
“That’s right,” said Ali.
“He’s the Technicolor white
hope.”
Cosell recognized Ali’s
personality and provided
the fighter with a platform to
promote his beliefs, basking
in the attention they generated. But Ali also appreciated having someone who presented his views without
judgment when covering the
fighter’s ties to the Nation of
Islam and his refusal to be
inducted into the Armed
Forces during the Vietnam
War.
Cosell was among the
first high-profile white journalists to abandon the term
“also known as Cassius
Clay” when interviewing the
champion, giving Ali the respect not afforded by other
news organizations.
In the years after that
controversy, viewers tuned
in for the repartee. ABC
Sports executive Roone
Arledge wanted his upstart
division to have a more contemporary approach in its
coverage and made the
propulsive combination of
Ali and Cosell a signature attraction on “Wide World of
Sports.”
“Ali was by nature a playful
personality,”
said
Ohlmeyer. “I think there was
a natural symbiotic relationship. Howard was at a point
in his career when he was
ready to play too. I wouldn’t
call them intimate friends,
but I know they appreciated
each other.”
Ohlmeyer, like many who
knew Ali during his vibrant
years as champion, gets
emotional when recalling
the fighter’s seemingly rapid
decline after retirement.
The executive remembers
spending time with Ali in an
airport lounge a few years after the fighter was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the early 1980s.
“It was one of the saddest
moments of my life,” said
Ohlmeyer. “We had chatted
for a while — it was remarkable at how different
and withdrawn he had become. Then I saw him sitting
on the floor with some kids
and he was doing magic
tricks with them. It was so
sad to see somebody so vibrant get to that point. He
was already a shadow over
the old Ali. He was one of the
most electric people to be
around. He was always full of
life. It seemed like it had
started to drain.”

THE SHOW WITHIN the show, featuring Freddie Stroma, Nathalie Kelley and Johanna Braddy.
‘UnREAL’ outdoing reality
[‘UnREAL,’ from E1]
Both Appleby and Zimmer
are viewed as serious Emmy
contenders.
The
accolades
have
helped change perceptions
about Lifetime, a network
that has long been identified
with schmaltzy, made-forTV movies and the kind of
guilty-pleasure reality programming that “UnREAL”
sends up so mercilessly (e.g.
“Dance Moms”).
“It’s kind of a creative
North Star for us now,” said
Robert Sharenow, executive
vice president and general
manager of A&E and Lifetime, which has already renewed “UnREAL” for a third
season. “We’re embracing
that it’s pushing the
boundaries of the brand.”
The boundary-pushing
continues apace in Season 2
as Rachel, newly promoted
to show runner, ups the
dramatic ante by casting
“Everlasting’s” first black
suitor. She also persuades
Ruby, a young Black Lives
Matter activist, to become a
contestant on the show by
promising a platform for her
political message, but sets
her up to be the token Angry
Black Woman instead.
When challenged by a fellow producer, Rachel, a feminist who struggles with the
moral implications of her
job, offers up a self-serving
justification: “My plan is to
make a top-rated television
program with a black romantic lead. You have a
problem with that?”
Shapiro has insight into
Rachel’s situation. Growing
up in a family of liberal
academics in Santa Barbara, Shapiro “suckled at
the teat of liberalism,” she
said over a quadruple espresso at a downtown hotel
after the series premiere of
“The Bachelorette.” (No, she
didn’t watch.)
A few years out of Sarah
Lawrence College, Shapiro
wound up as an associate
producer on “The Bachelor.”
Despite her feminist reservations about the show, she
excelled at the job. “Having
been a nerd and a chubby kid
“UNREAL’S” CHET (Craig Bierko) shares a mo-
ment with Anna (Braddy) during Season 2.

my whole life, there was also
a sick satisfaction to eviscerating a prom queen,” recalled Shapiro, who has a
producer’s ear for a great
sound bite.
In one particularly low
moment, a contestant told
Shapiro she had ruined her
life. That inspired Shapiro to
write and direct “Sequin
Raze,” a short film that
screened at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, in 2013
and formed the basis for
“UnREAL.”
“When I pitched the
show, it was ‘A feminist gets
stuck working on “The
Bachelor” and has a nervous
breakdown,’ ” Shapiro said.
“It’s always been a character
drama for me and not an exposé. It ends up serving as
both.”
Despite some talk of a female suitor in Season 2, Shapiro decided it would be
more relevant to cast an
African American male on
“Everlasting.” The move
puts the fictional show
ahead of “The Bachelor” and
“The Bachelorette,” neither
of which has featured a black
lead in 32 combined seasons.
Both have been criticized for
marginalizing contestants
of color, who rarely make it
past the first few episodes,
and trafficking in negative
racial stereotypes.
The long-standing controversy erupted again this
past spring when Caila
Quinn, who is half Filipino,
was passed over as “The
Bachelorette” in favor of selfproclaimed Southern sweetheart JoJo Fletcher.
But Shapiro was inspired
more by headlines about the
killing of unarmed black
men and the testimony of
police officers who described them “as monsters
and animals and superheroes,” she said. “To me,
filling up time and space
with images of black men in
different ways felt really important.”
She brought the idea to
her writing staff, which includes two women of color,
and they spent two weeks
having conversations, some
of them rather difficult,
about race, dating and media portrayals of African
Americans.
“I’m a person who’s
thought about that stuff to
some degree, but my
understanding of my own
privilege at the end of those
two weeks was profoundly
different than it had been,”
said Shapiro, her voice going
wobbly with emotion.
That’s not to say that
Season 2 is only — or even
mostly — about race. The
complicated professional relationship between Quinn
and Rachel remains center
on “UnREAL,” an antihero
drama that suggests reality
television can be nearly as
cutthroat as the meth trade
or organized crime.
“The real love story of the
show is between the two of
us,” said Appleby, sitting for
a joint interview with Zimmer. “These aren’t the kind
of women who are daydreaming about their wedding dresses. These are
women who want to get to
the top of their field and kick
ass and have power and
money.”
As the season opens,
Rachel has ditched her
scruffy Army jacket and
high-tops for sleek Helmut
Lang, clearly emulating
Quinn, her sharply dressed
mentor. The women even get
the same profane motto tattooed on their wrists. But
Quinn
inevitably
feels
threatened by Rachel’s newfound authority, and tensions arise.
Said Zimmer: “Seeing
Rachel act how I’ve taught
her to act is exciting but then
also scary. I could have
trained her well enough that
she’s like, ‘Bye!’ You want to
make sure you teach them
just enough so they have to
still stay to get more
lessons.”
The dynamic between
Quinn and Rachel has invited comparisons to Walt
and Jesse of “Breaking Bad,”
and is a major part of what
persuaded Lifetime to take a
risk on the series. “The fact
there are two female leads in
a noncop show is fairly
groundbreaking,”
said
Sharenow. “They would eat
Cagney and Lacey for breakfast.”

BRIDGE
SUDOKU
By Frank Stewart
My friend Eddie Kantar,
who has been bridge winning championships for 60
years, knows every trick in
the book. He was declarer at
today’s 3NT in a matchpoint
duplicate event.
North could reasonably
have bid four spades at his
second turn but instead
showed a heart stopper,
looking for a notrump game
in case South had raised the
spades with only three-card
support.
West made the textbook
lead of a low club, and East
played the 10. Eddie counted
10 top winners. If he took the
jack and continued clubs,
aiming to set up a second
club trick, West, who was
marked with the A-Q of
clubs, would surely shift to
KENKEN
Every box will contain a number; numbers depend on the size of the grid. For a 6x6
puzzle, use Nos. 1-6. Do not repeat a number in any row or column. The numbers in each
heavily outlined set of squares must combine to produce the target number found in the
top left corner of the cage using the mathematical operation indicated. A number can be
repeated within a cage as long as it is not in the same row or column.

HOROSCOPE
By Holiday Mathis
Aries (March 21-April 19):
Where are the lasting rewards coming from? Likely
it’s your work that will bring
the deep soul satisfaction.
Taurus (April 20-May
20): How do you become a
lighter, brighter person
when the circumstances
seem designed to anchor
you to a sinking ship? You’re
freer than you realize.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
When all key players are
working in the same direction, things start to happen.
Weed out the dissenters.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Yours is a good answer, but
it’s not the only good one
you’ll hear today. There’s
magic in the blending of ideas.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
The basics can’t be stressed
enough these days. They are
the essence of your success.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Sophisticated prizes require
sophisticated methods. In
today’s case, running after
something isn’t the best way
to catch it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
Lead with your strength,
and then you add more
skills, practice and teamwork to the mix.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
If you find that you’re talking
yourself into or out of a situation, consider that you may
have a need that you’re not
addressing. What is it?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your compassion
goes beyond what anyone
would ask of you today.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Move gracefully through
all of your feelings instead of
clinging to any for too long.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Your capacity for love
grows with the love you give
and also the love you receive.
Those ratios must balance.
You won’t be comfortable or
aware enough to receive too
much more than you know
how to give, and vice versa.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March
20): Just a little more analysis and you will figure out
what’s going to fix the problem. The next step is in
catering an approach that is
designed for the person who
can help you the most.
Today’s birthday (June
6): It’s your year to bring the
sunshine to your people.
You’re only able to do this
because you’ve weathered a
few storms in life and you’ve
learned the high value of
cheerfulness. A financial
boost in August will help you
launch a business. September and November give you
the education to do more
great things. Cancer and
Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 20, 9, 8, 33
and 49.

hearts.
So Eddie won with the
king of clubs and returned
the eight. West wasn’t sure
what was going on, but he
knew for sure that East had
the jack. So West followed
with his deuce. When declarer’s eight won, he swiftly
cashed nine more tricks,
making five for a top score on
the deal.
This week: declarer’s deception.
Question: You hold: ♠ A
Q 10 6 ♥ A 8 4 ♦ Q J 8 5 ♣ 6 4.
You open one diamond, your
partner responds one heart,
you bid one spade and he
jumps to 2NT. Now what?
Answer: Partner’s 2NT is
invitational, not forcing. If
he had enough values for
game, he could have bid 3NT
or bid a new suit to create a
forcing auction. You have a
sound minimum, and to risk
3NT would be reasonable,
especially vulnerable. If your
side is not vulnerable, pass.

was legal (now it is legal
here). She was earning thousands of dollars under the
table, while at the same time
seeking subsidies from the
government.
I was very uncomfortable
with this, and after many
months of agonizing about
what to do, I called her and
told her that I thought that
her behavior was unethical.
She defended it by saying
that the industry was in
transition (which it was)
and that she would write
down her income but that
she didn’t have any records.
She has since stopped
working there. Now, she is
earning money by working
under the table doing various odd jobs (which she
doesn’t report as income).
She also has other income,
which she does report.
I would like to address
her unreported income, but
am reluctant because I am
her in-law.
I am also worried that I
will damage our relationship
(which was very good before
this whole episode). I wish
that her (blood) family
would address it, but they
don’t. They don’t see it as a
big deal. I also feel like a
“goody two shoes” who is being holier than thou, but at
the same time I think what
she is doing is unethical and
inconsistent, even with her
own statements.
Should I talk with her
again, or should I keep my
mouth shut?
In-Law Ethics
Dear In-law: I notice that
your in-law’s work “in the
marijuana industry” seems
to have bothered you more
from an economic standpoint than from the fact that
she was (I presume) engaged in an activity that was
illegal — until your state laws
changed.
At the same time, unless
you are her accountant, it is
really not your job to watch,
police or examine her tax return. I’m assuming that she
isn’t really the sharpest tool
in the family shed if she
chooses to share this financial information with you in
the first place.
Unless she is applying for
and fraudulently receiving
subsidies (currently), you
should butt out.
Dear Amy: My sister-inlaw insists on sharing every
meal we have together when
eating out. This might not be
a problem in our hometown
diner when we are having
soup and a sandwich, but it
is very annoying when I have
a lovely meal in front of me at
a nice restaurant.
It has become a family
joke, but I am embarrassed
by it. How do I handle this?
Perplexed in Michigan
Dear Perplexed: Someone
else’s embarrassing behavior should not embarrass
you. If you let this dynamic
take hold, you’ll be forever
guarding your plate against
your marauding in-law.
Perhaps your sister-inlaw possesses one of those
telescoping forks, whereby
she can reach across the table and snatch your food off
of your plate. If not, the most
logical defense is a good offense — choose to sit as far
away from her as possible.
I (personally) hate to
share food. I don’t want
yours, and I don’t want to
part with mine. If sharing
seems to be on the horizon,
you need to say — respectfully — “Um, no. I’m not
sharing my meal. You should
order what you want for
yourself, because what’s on
my plate is staying on my
plate.”
If this “no sharing”
stance causes family members to shame or embarrass
you, hold your head high —
and your leftovers close.
